We hope that you take time this holiday season to recharge and spend time with your loved ones. Thank you for being part of our family and we can't wait to see you on Jan 4th!

Hey Pro-Fit Fam, Maddie here Does being out of your normal routine have you feeling all kinds of uneasiness? Strong Mind = Strong Body ... During this time, above all else, it is SO helpful to incorporate a few techniques to practice mindfulness in your day to day. This is because we are in a period of uncertainty and with uncertainty comes lots of worry and concerns. Everyone worries from time to time. That’s totally normal! However, when someone excessively worries, it oftentimes interferes with ones ability to function and cope. Some examples of excessive or unproductive worrying include: worries are hard to turn off or control, it generates no clear course of action, your thoughts are rarely free of worrying and you often experience symptoms such as irritability, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension and sleep disturbance, among others. Here are 5 tips that you can try: EATING HABITS : what you put into your body is such a major component on how you are left feeling both inside and outside. You can do what works best for you, some choose to count macros, while others do not. If I am not counting macros, I try to really follow that 80/20 rule (80% natural, wholesome foods and then 20% of the sweets because balance is important) CLEAN SPACE : we have all of this extra time in our day without our daily commute so reserve a day for yourself and make your space your own. Simple organization can go such a long way OBSERVE YOUR BREATHING : if you notice that you are feeling overwhelmed and are struggling to regulate your breathing, try practicing the box breathing method. Count down 4,3,2,1 breath in, count down 4,3,2,1 breath out over and over. This is where meditation comes in handy as well. SURF YOUR CRAVINGS : it can often become a slippery slope when we let worry take over. We find ourselves instinctively reaching for that glass/bottle of wine, or grabbing the bag of chips without even any conscious thought of doing so. A neat technique to try is expand the space between your awareness of the urge and your response. Let the urge or craving be there, and try staying with the discomfort that comes with that. Rather than moving to get rid of the discomfort, acknowledge the certainty that the discomfort will soon pass on its own. SIMPLY BE : whether it’s showering, washing dishes, cooking, reading, talking on the phone with a loved one... notice the sensations in that moment and be fully present. We are so accustomed to routine. This is why there is no better time to practice these methods THAN NOW. You may think, I tried it once, meditation didn’t work for me. I challenge you to try again. And perhaps one other time too. It takes time just as anything else to become comfortable with but, once you do, it’ll have you feeling confident with your ability to handle your worry and concern. Take that 5 minutes a day, show up for yourself and be amazed at what you can achieve. Hope this helps

Hey Pro-Fit, it’s Jill here lets talk a little bit more about N.E.A.T and why’s it’s important to move your body N.E.A.T stands for Non-Exercise-Activity-Thermogenesis and is the energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise for example walking... yard work vacuuming grocery shopping playing with your kids stand instead of sit take the stairs instead create challenges Those are just a few of many things you can do in the other 23 hours around your workout to help increase your daily step intake. Sitting and being inactive for long periods of time can cause more issues then just weight gain. Metabolic syndrome, poor blood sugar management and type 2 diabetes can be all found in large amounts of sit time The great news about this though, as you start to incorporate N.E.A.T more into your daily routine you will see benefits occur rapidly without having to participate in an intense training program From this info, it sounds like the more N.E.A.T we do the less cardio we have to do and I’m all game for that! Who really enjoys doing cardio anyways? .... Now, I challenge you to focus on incorporating 10,000 steps minimum into your daily routine
