Ready to renew your commitment yourself? Ready to be surprised with how strong you can be? Come on out for fun, friendly, and challenging morning Bootcamp. ALL levels. Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am. PM me for details.

I didn't know that the 10,000 Steps A Day "thing" started with marketing for the 1964 Tokoyo Olympics! What a fun fact! I think the key is: move!

Do We Really Need to Take 10,000 Steps a Day for Our Health? The advice that we take 10,000 steps a day is more a marketing accident than based on science. Taking far fewer may have notable benefits.

*Spring Update*
Bootcamp is going strong, fun, and still physically distanced. And even better: our 100% vaccination rate is allowing some equipment use! I have a slot available for a regular participant on Wednesdays and Fridays. Let me know if you are interested and we'll get that summer bod nice and strong! If you would like to be on the Monday waiting list, just say the word. Heads up: No class next Friday, April 23rd, or the following Wednesday, April 28th.

Usually, I find that media posts about health are useless and confusing, created for the sole purpose of generating content and advertisement revenue. Consider that always when opening a "health" magazine! HOWEVER- here is one article I think is quite helpful for the Passover holiday, and certainly applicable to all holidays when our eating habits go out of whack.
