Jack LaLanne Wisdom of the Day

You don’t get old because of your age.

Then do it again tomorrow.

Your body was built to move—so let it.

Wellness Wednesday: Thanksgiving Prep

Jack’s rule for the holidays: “Plan ahead, eat smart, and move daily.”

Balance gratitude with movement. That’s the LaLanne way.

“Move Before the Meal.”

When you’re at the grocery store, pick up a small pumpkin (2-3 lbs., “pie pumpkin” size – like what I’m holding in the photo), which we’ll use as a weight. If you don’t have one, you can hold a dumbbell instead, or can do it without a weight.

To make the class even more fun, feel free to wear a costume or your favorite Fall fashion.

If you would like to join our free classes you can register here: https://michellerogers.fitness/class
(If you are already a member of our Wellness in Motion or Chair Fit classes, you don't need to register separately for this — you’re in!).
