Fit Tip

Get out your calendar and a PEN and plan your Thanksgiving week (and why not Christmas!).  By now, plans have been made for Thursday's meal-where, when, who and how.  Put yourself on the calendar and schedule time for exercise and meditation.  If only 15 minutes a day, mark it down and keep that promise to yourself.

Be thankful for a strong body and a healthy mind.

Fit Tip

This week go ahead and order a foam roller on Amazon, pick one up at your favorite fitness store, or swing by the gym and use there's.  If you workout with me, you know that I always foam roll and rarely do "traditional" stretching before exercising.  The reason is, according to studies, static stretching performed before exercise actually reduces performance in most athletes.  On the other hand, SMR (self myofascial release) enhances strength and provides significantly less fatigue to muscle groups.  If you are like most adults and suffer from knee pain or plantar issues, you'll benefit the most.
Roll on!
