STRETCHING

Stretching is important at all stages of your life,

not just as you age.

The sooner you make stretching a part of your lifestyle, the longer you will stay flexible and limber, which will help you

move easier and alleviate tightness as you get older. 

That said, it is never too late to start stretching at home! You can start now and feel the benefits in your overall well-being. 

➕By stretching regularly, you can increase your flexibility, strength, and range of motion while giving your body an overall "zen" feeling. 

➕Stretching improves your posture by lifting your alignment and opens your body to increased energy levels by helping your circulation and blood flow. 

➕It also helps injury prevention, muscle condition, and improves exercise performance. 

⏩⏩⏩JOIN Mirko’s MAT CLASSES Tuesday at 9:30am and Friday at 5:00pm for an overall “zen” feeling after class

🌝 🐛 EARLY BIRDS CLASS RISE & SHINE for Dorothy's 7am Saturday morning class will get you energized for the weekend.

Veterans Day

Today we pay our respects to those who have served.

We celebrate and honor all of America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

For one day, we stand united in respect for you, our veterans.

This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country's service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on Nov. 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to "Veterans Day" in order to account for all veterans in all wars.

Join us in saluting our veterans.

FitFoodie Friday Tip

FEELING FULLER/SUSTAIN ENERGY

Add good quality fats to your meals. Foods rich in healthy fats (like nuts, avocados, olive oil, coconut oil) help you feel fuller and sustain your energy throughout the day, preventing energy slumps and the need to snack frequently.
