Happy Monday! 

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Like every other Monday, here are a few thoughts bouncing around in my head after a week of reading, podcasts, cruising social media and any other continuing ed.

Enjoy!

1. Strength training is huge for developing a better physique. But not enough people talk about the mental health benefits of strength training. It’s enormous and well documented. 
2. Instead of just trying to lose weight, try to lose weight while building the habits that will help you maintain that weight loss.
3. Cold hard truth: daily physical activity is absolutely critical if you want to do everything you can to avoid injury and disease. 
4. Morning workouts are a gamechanger. Wish my schedule allowed me to train each morning.
5. Sad but true. Fitness standards are incredibly low these days. If ‘regular’ or non-fitness people don’t think you are extreme, you probably aren’t pushing hard enough.

Have a great week!
