**NEW PROGRAM** Running & Nutrition Do you have the desire to "learn to run" while eating well too? I have been thinking about this program for a long, long time. Before an injury to my feet, I was an avid runner and have been itching to get back. I love the challenge of running just one more minute. It meant continuous improvement! ... I am NOT a licensed/certified coach but can share much experience. I have run distances from 1km - 45km. And, I will share my "gifts of health" with meal planning ideas. My "you CAN do it attitude and enthusiasm" will encourage you every step of the way. What's the plan? 1. A 12-week program that is both "in class" and online. I will host TWO weekly run times where we will train as a group. These run days will be Tuesday evening and Saturday morning. These are NOT mandatory meeting times. I like the accountability and encouragement of a small group. If you do not, you will have the running schedule to follow on your own, if you desire. 2. Each training session is 30 minutes or less! 3. Special speakers, bi-weekly. Learn about injury prevention, how seasoned runners stay motivated, how running can be used to promote fat loss, etc. (these will be online sessions and recorded where possible) 4. Meal plans bi-weekly. The focus will be cellular health for fat loss. 5. A fun "graduation" run. 6. Access to Cronometer to journal nutrition (including macronutrient values) and training. 7. The option to come into the office for a starting, mid, and ending scale analysis so that you can track body fat %. You do not need ANY previous running experience. My assumption is that all of us will be out for a little exercise, a little challenge, a little fresh air, and a lot of fun. The goal is to be active and at the end of this program you will be running for 25 minutes, about 2.5K - 3.0K, with a gradual progression of run and walk breaks. Following the structure running program AND learning different ways to fuel your body to encourage CELLULAR HEALTH, you will likely lose body fat, reduce stress, and be on a great path of becoming more fit ... all the while you will FALL IN LOVE with Running. Cost of the program, all 12 weeks, is just $140, HST included. When will the program begin? SATURDAY, October 24 and yes, we will finish up around January 9, 2021. So you can guess the fun celebration we can have as our "graduation fun run". :) :) :) The hot weather is gone so let's take advantage of the cooler temperatures to get and stay active for the balance of 2020 and into 2021.

By definition, holistic nutrition, and by expansion, a holistic health approach, strives to bring balance to all aspects of a human being: physical, mental and emotional. The holistic view sees the human body as a whole unit with intricate systems that depend on one another to operate optimally and efficiently. At a fundamental level, holistic nutrition focuses on the biochemistry of the human body, and recognizes the importance of creating balance where imbalances exist. New Program - "Thriving not Depriving" will help educate you on foods to consume to regain this balance. Registration is taking place now until Friday, September 11. -- Registration is now closed.
