If you’re leaving feeling better than when you walked in, we did good. 🤜🤛

Smart men do Pilates. Just sayin’. 😉

A whole new definition of “Power Couple”. 💪 💕

Want to show your hunny some love?
Take care of yourself.

Not kidding.
I’ve had more than a few clients over the years who have had to take on a caretaking role for their spouse who didn’t take care of themself.
It’s rough on both to be in that position. 😖

Give your loved one the very best gift. 🎁
Take care of yourself so they don’t have to.
Even better, take care of yourselves together. 💕

Did you know that it’s not difficult to make your own ice cream? 🤯 🍨

No ice cream maker needed!

With it being so hot, ice cream is a wonderful treat.
Most of your commercial ice cream brands are full of garbage - thickeners like carrageenan, guar gum, cellulose gum, colors, mono and diglycerides, and corn syrup. I’m copying this list from Perry’s Ice Cream ingredients online as a prime example.
Even some organic ice creams, like Alden’s, for example, has guar gum, soy lecithin, locust bean gum, and xanthan gum in them. 😳

There are some good options. Local ice cream shops that make their own are typically better without all the gums and other garbage. They’re usually happy to share their ingredient list when asked.
has an organic ice cream available in pints with absolutely no garbage in it. Some of the smaller brands, like , also have a short, clean list of ingredients.

Making your own gives you control over what’s in it.
I combined two recipes.

• Heavy cream (2 cups)
• I can sweetened condensed milk (I used Wegmans’ organic)
• vanilla (2 tsp or add more to taste)

I whipped the cream until stiff peaks formed.
In a separate bowl I mixed the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, then folded that into the whipped cream. From there, I took half and mixed frozen mango in. 🥭

The other half I used to make chocolate ice cream. 🍫
• I mixed 3/4 cup whole milk with 1/4 cup cocoa powder (I used organic)
• They list adding sugar in the recipe. For me, there was plenty of sweetness from the sweetened condensed milk, but you could always use amber maple syrup to sweeten without the maple flavor.

I folded the chocolate and milk into the whipped cream mixture.

Another benefit of making your own is that you can add nutritional extras. I added for the added nutrition (2 scoops of unflavored) to the whipped cream mixture before I split it so there is one scoop in each flavor.

I froze both ice creams overnight and they turned out great! Almost too good, really. 😆

Search online if you need nondairy options. There are great recipes using almond and oat milks.

DIY ice cream. So good, no garbage! 🍦

As anyone can imagine, it is not uncommon for Fire and EMS agencies to see an increase in calls for service, depending on weather conditions and activities that would typically occur under such conditions. We are no exception to this! In the last 24 hours, we have responded to nine incidents, some of which were related to heat or warm weather activities. Most already know this, but please remind yourself, family, friends, and kids of the following;

🚒Drink plenty of water.
🚒If you are riding a bike, scooter, or recreational vehicle, wear a helmet.
🚒Look both ways before crossing the street.
🚒Always be cognizant of pedestrians, bikes, and motorcycles when driving.

Pilates-related pet peeves:
🔹When someone says Pilates is easy. 😑
🔹Or that it’s just about stretching. 🙄
🔹Or that it’s just about getting a sexy “Pilates body”. 😒

What is Pilates? 🤔

Pilates is a system of exercises developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, focusing on building strength, flexibility, and core stability through controlled, functional movements and mindful breathing.

A well-trained Pilates instructor comes out of training with over five hundred hours of teaching, observation, and practice and gets even better from there.

An experienced instructor is prescriptive, designing your workout to address physical issues you may have and to help you attain your goals.

Pilates is helpful for EVERY body. 💪

In my thirteen+ years of teaching Pilates, I have had the honor of teaching a wide range of clients who have seen significant progress:

🔹People coming off of injuries and surgeries
🔹Young athletes, weekend warriors, and professional athletes
🔹 Seniors in their eighties and nineties who are working to stay independent
🔹Professionals working to be healthier, emergency responders working to help avoid injury, grandparents working to stay active
🔹Clients diagnosed with Parkinson’s, stroke survivors, MS, neuropathy, pain, balance, and movement issues, and more.

Do your research. Choose a studio that offers authentic Pilates with well trained, experienced instructors.
Come see what Pilates can do for you. ❤️
