As mentioned in the previous newsletter and post, it’s easy for us to state the outcomes we would like for ourselves but harder to execute on the process that helps us achieve those outcomes. In the previous example, I laid out an outcome goal of 21lbs of weight loss and 5% loss of bodyfat from now until Christmas. What process goals can I use to achieve this?

Can you believe we are more than halfway through with 2022? Where are you relative to your goals for the year? Are you more than halfway there? Honestly, I have fallen behind in the physical category, and I’ve been refocusing the past few days to finish 2022 in a blaze of glory.

Your goals are your goals, but I tend to break mine down into the following categories:

1. Health & Fitness

2. Family &...

There is no doubt time is our most precious resource. With every breath, we are one breath closer to the end. Yet we waste so much time (TV and social media come to mind). One of the ways we can “extend” our time on this earth and even more importantly our productive and happy time is to take care of our health. This is not time spent, but rather time invested. Good Investments return value back more than the initial capital outlay. Using...

This is for you, the person who is sitting on the couch, not taking care of themselves, and driving themselves further away from a state of health. An American Psychological Association “Stress in America survey conducted in late February 2021 found 42% of U.S. adults reported undesired weight gain since the start of the pandemic, with an average gain of 29 pounds.” A Harvard health article this October revealed only...

Our purpose is building the health and fitness of our community and our response to the COVID-19 epidemic reflects that purpose. Several factors become apparent as we reopen our doors:

Pressing Pause

As mandated by the City of San Antonio, our studios are temporarily on sabbatical until April 18, 2020. But just because we will not be having in person classes in the short term does not mean you have to miss out on your yoga, Pilates or fitness. Our plan is to stream classes regularly as well as posting recorded classes for you to take at your convenience. We already have over 40 recorded classes on...
