For today’s Wellness Wednesday post, we want to congratulate one hard working, determined individual…

Congratulations, Linda on your major accomplishment of running this years Tokyo Marathon!! We couldn’t be more proud.

Linda first came to us in November of 2025. She was in need of physical therapy after breaking her femur while running the Chicago Marathon. She had one goal in mind: run the 2026 Tokyo Marathon. With only 4 and a half months until race day, she was determined to put in the work to recover from her injury, and train for the marathon at the same time. Linda worked hard with us for those 4 and a half months, and crossed the finish line in Tokyo on March 1st, despite the fact that her type of injury typically takes 6 months to heal. She is now just two races away from earning the Abbot World Marathon Majors Six Star Medal!🤯👏

Linda, your hard work and determination is inspiring, and we are so proud of you!

We’ve got some cool news to share for today’s Wellness Wednesday!!

The American College of Sports Medicine () recently updated their resistance training guidelines for the first time in 17 years! The new guidelines are as follows:

1. Consistency beats perfection - Showing up regularly is better than a perfect day here and there.
2. Match your training to your goal - Adjust your workouts to cater to the results you want to see.
3. Make it personal - Pick a routine that works for YOU.
4. You don’t need a gym - Home-based training is just as effective as going to a gym.
5. Most “advanced” techniques are optional - You will still get results without going to extreme measures.

Welcome back to another Perform Well Wednesday!

Feeling bloated and stiff after a meal? Take a walk! Walking even just 5-10 minutes after eating can significantly improve digestion, balance out your blood sugar, and loosen up your joints. An added benefit is that walking can also be a mood booster and reduce stress levels! As the weather starts to get warmer, be sure to take advantage of it!

Tag your walking buddy in the comments and go get those steps in! See ya next week for another health tip to keep you performing well☀️
