Reflections from Vegas - and the week ahead - Subscribe to the Erin Phelan Newsletter (minimal form)

Happy Sunday

I hope you have had an amazing weekend and been outside. To be honest, my body was absolutely smacked senseless from Vegas. I spent four days bouncing between trainings, workshops and learning, and various responsibilities, including hosting the Canadian forum. It was a whirlwind, and when I got home on Friday night at 1 am, I slept for 8.5 hours. And then more.

I truly believe that exercise is one of the most important factors that will change our life.

Some key takeaways:

Healthspan and longevity were big topics - it is not the years in your life, but the life in your years. When you are healthy and fit, you are able to enjoy your life and actually do life. It is my guiding mission to help.
Strength training remains the top trend. You MUST strength train. If you are overwhelmed, simply commit to one STRONG class each week. Our program WILL change to provide 4 live strength sessions,
Recovery is a HOT topic but get this - COLD PLUNGING can strip away the benefits of a workout - cold immediately following a workout actually shocks the muscles and doesn't allow it to grow. MIC DROP
VO2 MAX - you MUST push your heart rate in this Zone a few times a week. How hard? Hard. Get a heart rate monitor. Determine what your top zone is. For me, it is between 165-180 BPM. Do intervals
Zone 2 has huge benefits for longevity - base Zone 2 daily! Walking is good
Flexibility and mobility are now considered cornerstones of any program
Pilates is growing at a huge rate.

Translation - if you are in our program, you are in the right place!

This week - back to regular programming! Check the above schedule!

*** March 20th is the 5-year anniversary of the pandemic. I will host a special evening class that will be 30 mins strength and 30 minutes yoga. Called STRONGER TOGETHER! Invite your friends! I might push the class up to 630 pm! :-)

We will be doing our SPRING HEALTHY SIX: RENEWAL Beginning April 19th!

This SPRING Healthy Six is Called: REVIVE: SIX WEEKS TO......"

This will begin April 19th and run until National Health and Fitness Day on June 7th

Within the program there will be a 21-day "Gut Reset" but the objective of this program is for every participant to find a "Why" for Spring, and in Six Weeks Go After THAT WHY!
