Need Motivation? Try a Group Challenge.

groupchallenge
  It happened quite by accident. One Monday I was coaching Conditioning class, and the four participants and I began discussing doing a push up challenge. We would pick a day, and on that day we would all commit to doing 20 push ups every time we had a meal. The group picked Fridays since Goodwellness does not offer any group classes on that d...

blogvanity
Meet Goodwellness client Moira. This picture was taken at her nephew's wedding this past weekend. Back in March, Moira shared with me her goal: to look amazing at the event. She'd found a dress that she loved, and she'd ordered it in two different sizes. One dress was a little tight, and the second she was not even able to zip. She really wanted to...

Do You Really Need 10,000 Steps?

steps
  With the rise of wearable tech like Fitbits and smart watches, we all have heard we should take 10,000 steps a day for better health. But why 10,000? What's so special about that number? It turns out that figure is more than twice as high as it needs to be, according to a new study  published in the Journal of the American Medical Assoc...

BUT wait, I hear you saying...Aren't you working on some stress management program?? Well yes, I am.  And it works, too.  If you work it. If you don't fail to actually foll...

Are Smartphones Making us Fat?

blogsmartphone
  If you wonder why you struggle with weight, you might look no farther than that thing in your hand. First, smartphones and other conveniences are essentially adding 500 calories a day to our diets compared to a few decades ago, a new book says. That translates to about a pound a week if we don't exercise enough. And meanwhile, a new study sa...

Caregiver, Care for Thyself

Caregiver-Care-for-Thyself
I just got off the phone with my mom. It got me thinking. A lot of people our age are put in the position of being caregivers. Often, we feel guilty looking after ourselves. We often skip our workouts or self care activities. We say things to ourselves like: "I'm fine. I'll start going soon." "Mom needs help today. I'll do that next week." "I feel ...

So Many Diets, So Little Time!

20180820_18520_20180822-161215_1
  54… This is the appalling number of diet books I have on my kindle. Yes, I've read all of them. No, that doesn't include the actual hardbacks on my shelf, either.  These books are all full of great information, but sometimes contradicting the arguments of one another completely.  Did I try all of these diets? Sort of. Not really.&n...

Confessions of a Recovering Control Freak

IMG_0572
I remember when I first found out that I was a control freak. I was having a conversation with a family member. The talk became heated, and he accused me of being "abusive". Well, that threw me for a loop. I'd considered myself to be one of the nicest people around! Abusive?! I'd bent over backwards for this person! But his character assessment of ...

Digital Detox: the Aftermath

fullsizeoutput_b06
So you know I am always talking about restoration. How it brings down your cortisol levels. How it aids with all systems of the body, including musculoskeletal, digestive, circulatory, endocrine, and nervous. And how it's the "red-headed stepchild" of most of your wellness programs. It always comes last…far behind movement, exercise, and nutrition....

The 5 Minute Action

photo-nic-co-uk-nic-170887-unsplash
  The 5 Minute Action The very first part of our Precision Nutrition course is a call to a 5 minute action. Most clients are confused by this concept; what kind of action? Why don't they just tell me what to do?? Let's dissect this idea. No matter what our concerns or goals, there are always going to be steps involved to get us where we are he...
