Why October Is the Perfect Month to Take It Outside!
Crisp air, colorful trees, and.... fewer bugs!
October was made for movement! Hiking, long walks, or even outdoor strength training are great this time of year. The cooler temps help you push harder without overheating. Grab your walking sticks, resistance bands, or just your body weight and get outdoors!

As a trainer, I still enjoy all the fun fall flavors just with a little balance! Instead of diving into the candy bowl, I reach for apple slices with cinnamon, roasted pumpkin seeds, or a pumpkin-spice protein coffee.
What are your favorites this time of year?

Fall is on the way which means cooler temps, cozy blankets, and maybe a good book. But don’t let this next season slow you down! The heat of summer is behind us, making this the perfect time to get outside and start walking.
Movement keeps your energy up, your mood lifted, and your body strong even when all you want to do is curl up inside. As your trainer, my advice is simple: grab a jacket in the next few months and lace up your walking shoes.

Tip of the Day:
Your core isn’t just about stomach muscles, it’s your body’s support system.
A simple daily habit to help keep your core strong: sit tall, draw your belly button slightly toward your spine, and hold for 10–15 seconds while breathing. Do this a few times a day while you stand in line at the store, sit at your desk, or watch TV. Small steps like this keep your core active and your posture upright.

Strong muscles need flexible joints! Daily stretching keeps your joints moving smoothly, reduces stiffness, and prevents injury. Focus on simple moves like shoulder rolls, hamstring stretches, and gentle hip openers. Just 5–10 minutes a day can improve posture, mobility, and keep you pain-free! standardhealthllc.com

Nutrition Label Tips (from your favorite personal trainer 😉)
When checking food labels, don’t just count calories, check the sugar! Look for:

🚩 “Added sugars” - keep it as low as possible

🚩 Hidden sugars like corn syrup, juice, or anything
ending in “-ose”

✅ Fiber, fruits and veggies and protein to help balance blood sugar

Remember: just because it looks healthy doesn’t mean it is! Add in as many FRESH fruits and veggies as you can too. You can't go wrong there!

But here’s the good news:
You can fight back with proper strength training, enough protein, and staying active.
