Tonight is How Weightlifting Benefits Women’s Health! Tomorrow I’m really looking forward to. It’s about Pelvic pain!

Do you prefer to walk or run? Most of us have a preference. Walking and running are activities that are open to anyone and require very little investment. Both are great cardiovascular workouts. By definition, the primary difference between walking and running is if you have both feet on the ground at the same time or not. That seems a bit confusing but think about it!

A pandemic is a scary and stressful situation. It is not something that we planned for or have a handbook on how to manage. We had our normal stressful lives and then added shelter in place, jobs changing or being gone, financial concerns, educating our kids at home, worrying if you caught the virus, and not being able to go out to socialize or do activities.

"I'm hungry" "Can I have a snack" "When are we eating?" These are the regular rotation of questions I hear as a mom and wife. I have a 10-year-old boy and he is always hungry. I must admit I have some jealousy that he can eat all the time and not gain any weight. Wouldn't it be awesome to eat 2 breakfasts and ice cream every single night without any consequences?

While we are still stuck at home thanks to Covid and I would pay quite a bit at this point to workout at a gym, I promise to not complain about the guys hogging the squat rack, the person who didn't put their weights away, the lady who talks too loud about private stuff on the stair master, or the person doing very creative stretches in the corner.

This morning, my iPhone reminded me that today is July 1st. A brand new month! I had to pause for a moment because my brain is still trying to process all of March through June, with everything that has happened this year. (Cue the memory reel of a pandemic, murder hornets, aliens, race riots, Sahara dust storms, coke boars and the mass discussions about masks) I have no idea where the time has gone, but frankly I can't imagine 6 more months of 2020.

Unless you've been blissfully unaware, the world has been struggling through a pandemic. It has been a life-changing event. A large majority of us have been stuck in our homes for months. If you are like me and own a business, your business has been shut as well (mine shut March 16th and I still have no re-opening date). For months, we have only left our homes to venture out for essentials such as food, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and wine.
