This video popped up on my Timehop today and brought me to this constant thought I have.

⭐️“You’ve got to start them young”⭐️

This expression and thought process is too often used by over aggressive sports parents who think their kids need to pick ONE sports and play “fall ball”, “winter ball”, “spring ball”, “summer ball”, in the hopes that they reach some great level usually achieved by less than 1% of athletes.

What I wish more parents thought when they hear and use the expression “start them young”, is to introduce your kids to fitness and movement in a FUN, INTERESTING way that keeps them engaged and wanting to learn more.

Kids need to associate movement with feeling GOOD, in body AND mind. As a father I am so damn proud of and . They both learned about fitness at a young age, and now continue on in their fitness journey; one an ROTC fit as heck cadet, the other a self-created D1 men’s volleyball player. And I have no doubt they will pass the importance of fitness down to their kids when/if the time comes.

Have you heard about yet?!? These are not the weight vests from 20 years ago; those bulky, uncomfortable things with bags of sand all over them. These are really incredible!

I’ve been wearing mine daily, and once it’s on for awhile I forget it’s even there. You can burn 100’s of extra calories by simply wearing it while doing your normal daily activities. Fair warning: they are NOT cheap. However much you think they are, double or maybe even triple that number. But I honestly believe if you can afford the high price tag, they are worth it. I had a couple Zoners try mine on, and even did her whole Friday workout in it! If you’re interested, the link is in my profile.

WEIGHT: Don’t use it as your measuring stick for if your health & fitness plan is working!

Very solid week of workouts, cold plunges, meditation and healthy eating. That means rewarding HEALTHY lunch from ! The Muscle Burger is one of, if not the BEST burger in town!

And No Mika, you don’t get any…..maybe ONE fry ;)

I am a personal trainer and I 100% support people using GLP1 safely and properly.

This video does an outstanding job explaining why James Smith and I both believe this.

Well done James!

❤️Chiropractors❤️

USE THEM.

I’m gonna hop up on my soapbox for a moment and yell out into the social media void….

“Find a good chiropractor and SEE THEM consistently!”

I want to share my latest experience with Danielle Dabruzzi-Hintz at Pathways Family Chiropractic because I think its a perfect example of what a good chiropractor can do for you and WHY you should make an appointment with them the next time your body is “outta wack”.

⭐Too many people just live with and accept pain and limitations without exploring this part of health care like they should. I get it, maybe you had a bad experience in the past at a not so great chiropractor. That happens it all areas of life. If you went to a bad mexican restaurant, would you never eat at a mexican restaurant ever again?⭐

Here’s my latest adventure in my 53 year old body that I like to beat up daily 😜

Last week I developed a new soreness/pain I hadn't experienced before, and by Sunday night it was so bad in my glutes and hamstrings that it kept me up most of the night. 6/10 throbbing pain, no matter what position I was in; sitting, lying down, constant pain.

Rest didn't help. 😴
Stretching didn't help. 🧘
Ice numbed it for awhile, but it came back. 🧊

Something was OFF. 😣

So I went to see Danielle.

First thing she did was listen to the what and where of my pain. Then she used Applied Kinesiology(me try to push against her with force) to figured out exactly what was indeed “outta wack”.

She determined that my sacrum was the culprit, and was really “pissing off my periformis!”(her words 😜).

She made her adjustments. 

I walk out still with a bit of soreness, but noticeably better.

Last night, slept like a rock.

Today, no pain at all. I feel normal again.

All it took was one 15 minute appointment. If I didn't go see her I probably wouldve made it worse by stretching and trying to Theragun it away.

And Ill go see her again the next time I knock myself outta wack.

My point is this- if you have pains that just don't seem to get better and you've just decided to “live with it”, you might not have to. If you haven't explored it or found the right chiropractic care, give it chance. Call Pathways or another local chiropractor you've been referred to by friends/family.

❤️‍🩹Pain can be temporary if you have the right support.❤️‍🩹
