The tougher times

**** CLASS TONIGHT:

630 STRONG

7PM CYCLE

In time for Go Oilers!

Happy Monday All:

I had a newsletter full of research, with the title

STRENGTH + HIIT + MOBILITY = YOUR BEST BODY

It was full of research and backing evidence that the best program for you is not only one where you will stick to it, but one that challenges your muscles, your heart and your mind. To create a body that isn't necessarily free of pain - injury i inevitable in athletic bodies - but a body that is functional. One able to go and cycle 30K or paddle rivers, climb mountains and walk with ease.

That comes to strength training (at least 2X a week in our program), HIIT or Sprint Training and mobility work.

Consistency is the thread that ties it together.

But what about when life is hard?

When you are literally too busy to workout (it does happen)

Or when deep grief strikes you?

One of my our FITFAM (OG member) lost a parent this week. Another FITFAM has been overwhelmed by work. And one of our FITFAM lost a boy close to her heart, who also happens to be my (and another FITFAM)'s neighbor and was taken by cancer at 19.

All the "exercise is medicine" messages fall flat then.

All I can say, is that when life is hard or sad or feels impossible, being strong will help. But it won't buffer you from pain. But it helps you cope.

Learning to feel pain is part of our journey in life.

It sucks. But as my mum loved to say:

Darling, life is a tragedy.

The sooner you realize it, the happier you will be.

Life is found in small wins - like a great class (nailed it) and in healthy eating. It is found the love we have for each other

I created a community in 2020.

I am so grateful that I did.

If you have been away - come back.

If you haven't made time for a live class - just try.

I don't wish tragedy for any of us.

But I will help you learn to cope and to get stronger in your body, and mind.

And if life is hard for you, I send you so much love and am always a call away

**** COME TONIGHT FOR A GREAT STRENGTH / CYCLE HOUR!11111

630-730 then GO Oilers!

MORNING:

630 AM - MOBILITY

Movement matters - why not come and see us every morning before work?

Not to hard sell this, but we have anywhere from 3-5 on for Mobility each day. There should be 20 of you. This is 12-minutes and it frames your day in the post positive light. I am working on adding more richness to the morning - quotes of the day, new mobility moves. But my body is more pliable and feels better because of mobility!

QUESTION: What's up with the You Tube Videos, Erin?

My video provider, VIMEO, has told me that I have used all my storage and their customer service SUCKS! Right now I am paying X per month with zero upload capabilities. For now, I have been recording more classes to Instagram, deleting older videos and looking at solutions
