Don't forget to take a moment and fill out the class and schedule survey. We will be posting the new schedule in September and will help us make sure to get everyone's input.

School has started back for most of us now. It looks a little different. Thank you to all the amazing teachers! Give yourself grace and patience. We can do this!!

We have you covered on virtual home workouts. Many of us are still stuck inside due to Covid and now the air quality, but we are still offering our virtual classes so you don't miss your workouts!

The HeniFitness virtual schedule is up for this week. Due to the local fires and smoke, we have moved all classes to the virtual platform. Please listen to how you feel this week and we look forward to seeing everyone online this week!

Who knows about Selenium and that it's nutritionally essential for your body? It's not commonly talked about but you still need it! It pays a key roll in our metabolism, is necessary for thyroid function (actually the highest concentration of Selenium is found in the thyroid gland), protects us from damage caused by oxidative stress (basically it's a great antioxidant), can slow down age-related mental decline, and boosts the immune system. Selenium is found in two forms - inorganic which is found in soil and organic which is what plants converted the inorganic to. Both are good dietary sources. The best source for Selenium is Brazil nuts but if you don't like Brazil nuts seafood, meat, and enriched foods like macaroni or pasta.

We want to hear from you! As school is starting back we want to accommodate as many schedules as possible. Please take a few minutes to share with us what classes you enjoy, what times work best for you, and whether you prefer outdoor, virtual, or a mix for the classes. If you are on our email list, you would have received the survey link. If not, here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HeniFitness or message us and we will be happy to forward the link to you.

Happy Friday! Remember to stay hydrated this weekend as the temperature gets up there!

Did you know Vitamin D is not a vitamin?!?! That's right! It's actually a hormone produced from cholesterol when your skin is exposed to sunshine. (The science behind it is really cool!) Hence "the sunshine vitamin" Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium. Vitamin D is also needed for strong bones and teeth, a healthy immune system, and plays a part in regulating insulin. The best practice is to sit outside for a few moments in the morning sun and you've 1) sta...rted your day off great and 2) gotten your daily vitamin d! You can also get some vitamin d from egg yokes, mushrooms, salmon, and fortified foods. The biggest problem with not getting enough vitamin D is that your body will not absorb calcium properly. That's your #wellnesswednesday tip and a fun fact you can impress people with! See more
