Turmeric Ginger Lemonade

Leave a Comment

Here is a recipe to drink when it’s warm out and you just want something other than water.  The problem with most beverages is that they are full of SUGAR as well as lots of empty calories that provide zero nutritional value to your body.  Most beverages do not support your health and fitness goals and are not in line with supportive nutrition.

Since turmeric contains anti-inflammatoryproperties and ginger is wonderful for our digestion, feel free to enjoy 1-2 cups of this lemonade daily.

 Ingredients

  4 cups of water

  1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or a 3-inch strip fresh turmeric root, peeled)

  1 teaspoon ginger powder (or a 4-inch strip fresh ginger root, peeled)

  Juice of a full lemon or to your taste

 Directions

Put water into a small pot and bring to a boil on the stove. Make sure that the  water has come to a full boil.

 Add turmeric and ginger to the boiling water and reduce to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. This will extract the beneficial compounds form the turmeric and ginger.

Keeping Your Head Straight, through the Chaos.

Today’s message is about Hope.

I will admit, I had a moment last Thursday. I have never put more than a weeks worth of groceries in our house.

I know, I know…

But the thing is we cook what we buy, eat it for the week then I go back to the store…wash, rinse, repeat.

I went in the store and my chest got tight.

The shelves were bare.

I kept pushing the cart around, no meat, no yogurt, no bread, no peanut butter…

What the heck is going on.

Then I saw the look in people’s eyes, they were scared. Rightfully so. Just typing this makes my chest tight.

I got what I could, bagged up my groceries and I sat in my car.

It felt like someone had me in a choke hold. I stopped and told myself to breath. 10, for real, belly breaths. I started to feel better.

My mind went so many places it didn’t need to. The trucks had not been unloaded and I went back the next day a bit earlier in the day and the shelves were reasonably restocked.

This is unfortunately the feeling some of us are having everyday.

We are 100% out of our routines, literally overnight. We have had to adapt to our crisis and to be honest, we are not good with change.

We have to remember, through this crisis, we have the availability of food. We all have stocked fridges, freezers and pantries. We have access to internet, TV, music and each other.

We have been told to stay home.

Continue to have hope.

Stay connected to loved ones, pick up the phone or FaceTime/Zoom family and friends.

Stay in abundance mindset vs scarcity.

Then continue to take care of yourself.

Wake up early, read something that will enrich your mind and fuel your mind or growth.

Move your body. We have all our workouts open and below is a link to get connected. Or go for a walk, jog, run…keep moving.

Eat to fuel your body…not boredom.

There is a really awesome video I will share with you by Hal Elrod. He is the creator of Miracle Morning, stay tuned.

Live well, live in abundance, have hope,

Virtual Training at TFW

Leave a Comment

Many of you saw our FB Live videos yesterday, but we want to send a more formal communication through email this morning.
 
We sincerely appreciate all the much-needed love and support through this challenging time. Nothing like being told around 1pm (this communication was super vague and we had to seek clarification) you had to shut your business down by 8am the next day.
 
I can tell you there is no business playbook out there for what we are experiencing, but we knew something would eventually roll down so we have been preparing.
 
We have planned to take our business virtual to keep our members and employees safe and that time is here sooner rather than later.
 
Effective at 8am today we will run our workouts virtually till April 6. We will still hold our clients accountable through email/text/FB messenger and support you with your nutrition. This will not change how we deliver this support.
 
We are, however, adding in two support calls Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm. You will use the same video link to access these support calls.
 
Listen we get it. The gym is your release, it’s our release too. We need to stay strong not only with our bodies but with our minds. We need to continue to lift each other up and high five our wins even if it is through our screens. We encourage you to plug into minimum of one call per week.
 
We are better together and we will get through this.
 
We will run a condensed schedule of workouts via Zoom. Zoom is a video conferencing software that several are familiar with. I will provide the link later in the email. Zoom can be used via a laptop, desktop, tablet or via the Zoom app on your phone or iPad.
 
These workouts will be recorded and posted in our Private FB Group in case you cannot attend a live time or want to do your workout at different times. (trying to cover all our bases)
 
Our class schedule will be the following:
 
Monday – Thursday – 5:45am, 6:30am, Noon, 5:15pm and 6pm
 
Friday – 5:45am, 6:30am, Noon, 4:30pm and 5:15pm
 
Saturday – 9am
 
(we will make adjustments as needed to this schedule)
 
We have adjusted our programming so that you can workout in the comfort and safety of your own home. In the first week, we will be focusing more on primal moves/body weight. We promise you will still get your sweat on.
 
Then in the meantime, we are recommending purchasing a Red, Black and Green band from https://resistancebandtraining.com. You can purchase these bands on amazon, but the link provide has the best quality and durability. You can purchase handles as well; this is more of a preference.
 
How to set yourself up for your workout. You will want to test Zoom on your device and do the simple download of the software. Takes may 3 minutes to set up, but don’t wait till 5:40am to attempt this.
 
By clicking the link you will be prompted to download the software or if you already have the software or app downloaded you will enter the meeting ID:
 
Test this please and let us know if you are having trouble.
We recommend setting up your device so that we can see a full image of you if at all possible.
 
Listen, I still can’t believe I am deploying this version of our business, but we knew sooner rather than later we may be forced into this situation.
 
In times likes these you can hide at home and be scared or we can rally together, stay strong both physically and mentally.
 
We are choosing the latter and hope you will too. These upcoming weeks will be challenging no doubt, but let’s keep you on your routine. Don’t undo all the hard work you have been doing because of our current situation.
 
We got this.
 
Plug into our call at 1pm today, we need to support each other even more than ever.
Noon will be our first virtual workout, then plug into the support call at 1pm today!
 
See you online and keep washing your hands!

~Consistency~

Leave a Comment

Its not about what you do once in a while, its what you do each and every day.

Consistency is a word I will use everyday with our clients. Never strive for perfection, strive for consistent effort day after day.

I know when I got down to my leanest, it was not some perfect meal plan or precise workout plan. It was showing up to the gym 3 days in strength and 2 days of cardio. Then I ate well most meals, kept protein high and reduced adult beverages significantly.

No huge epiphany.

Consistent work.

My workouts were not perfect.

I had good days and bad days.

I took it one day at a time and gave it the best of my ability.

Consistency

It works every single time. Just when you feel like giving up or you are not seeing results remember this.

Consistency transforms average into excellence.

What can you do or continue to do consistently?

Let us know if we can help!

“You are the Average of the 5 People You Spend the Most Time With” – Jim Rohn

I truly believe Jim Rohn’s quote because I have seen it in myself. Surround yourself with people who lift you up vs drag you down.

I see this unfortunately too many times. Someone starts taking care of themselves and then here come the naysayers.

Oh you can’t keep doing that…

Or why would you workout like that or eat like that…

I could go on.

Instead keep yourself surround by other people doing what you are doing. This is what I love about our community. We are here to lift each other up.

I have worked out at all times of the day and our clients are hands down the best!

Everyone is positive, upbeat and fighting their own fight.

We encourage each other, appropriately push each other and congratulate each other when the workout is done.

Also they know if you have not been there, “where were you, they say!” We hold each other accountable.

We help high performers simplify fitness and wellness so that they can succeed with all the demands of their everyday life.

You are not alone in our program. We work together to see you be successful.

This month we are focusing on extending our fitness family.

For the entire month of March, it is Bring A Friend Month and we are pulling out all the stops. Who do you know that needs help simplifying their fitness and health goals.

Send them our way or maybe it is you! Shoot me a message back and we will get you set up.

Come be surrounded by like minded high performers who just want to balance life.

We got you!

Now go win your day!

I workout because…

Leave a Comment

Have you ever sat down and evaluated why you did something? Reflecting can be one of the greatest activities that brings good awareness.

I have gotten my, happy you know what, out of bed each morning this week to get my workout in first thing. I had become hit or miss at other times of the day.

I crave a routine.

Then I stepped back this week and realized…I am overall happier this week than I have been in a while.

I feel satisfied, accomplished…little tired. 😉

I workout because it makes me feel better.

Sure I would LOVE the scale to move (is it still baby weight two years later).

I workout so that I feel my best to perform each day at a high level, to come home and have the energy to play with my kids

I look at this picture of hard work a determination and I know there is a reason each person decided to workout…

What’s your reason for working out?

I want to know…send me a message back.

Or if you know you need to get back into it, lets hop on a quick call.

It’s taking that first step, it is always the hardest, but then you never look back.

You can feel good and see benefits in as little as a week.

I know after a consistent week, I feel fired up and ready to take on each day!

Let’s do this,

Arin
