Coach Heather Binns's here... I’m reminiscing on the Drumstick Dash L.A. from last week…It was fun being at a race again, especially with friends. The 5K was very low stress and I pushed myself enough to run the whole thing without any walking…a new feat since my ankle injury in May. I’ve decided to focus on improving my strength, power, endurance and stability in 2023. No competitive racing goals…just to keep improving, and most importantly, having FUN!! This personal goal f

Here’s something that always amazes us – and also frustrates us... It’s when people say they’re not “ready” to start exercising, or eating right, or making some change they’re always talking about. And now is a good time to discuss this, because so many of us insist we’ll be “ready” in January – and then find another reason to put off change. Right? You know people like this! Maybe you’ve said it yourself. See, it’s a lie we tell ourselves – that we have to be ready to make a

We were sitting here thinking about how very grateful we are for you today. This is one of our favorite times of the year because we’re constantly reminded of how much weI have to be grateful for: People we love, our home, our health, our business, and obviously - you :) Life is always so, so busy, but this time of year gives us a wonderful opportunity to sit a bit more quietly, reflect, and realize how wonderful it all actually is. Despite pandemics, external circumstances,

We’re going to be brutally honest with you today, and we want you to know that this comes from a place of love. So, let’s dive in… You know how it’s a common fact that everyone flocks to health & fitness in January or February, only to abandon it the following month or so? Well, there’s more to it than that. Let us tell you the thought process we have seen as a professional in the health & fitness industry for the past 15 years… It’s summer and kids are out of school. Things

Time – our most valuable resource. We only have so much of it, and we have to decide how to invest it. We urge you to make time for your health. It will be your greatest reward throughout life. As we’re told, “If you have your health, then you have everything.” Or, put another way, “Health equals wealth.” Here’s something we love about the relationship between the time we invest in my health – and how that investment pays off. We can spend just a few hours a week exercising

Let’s talk about money – specifically about the anxiety we all feel around certain expenditures. Sometimes we’re so worried about the cost of something that we don’t see its value as an investment in our own best interests. And when we think about our expenses, we try to remember that everything is a choice between spending that will move me closer to my goals – or take me down another path. Right? we mean, if we put away some money each paycheck, then we can feel better abou

Hey there! This is coach Heather Binns! The truth about why restrictive diets don’t work is because they’re unsustainable. If you’re required to cut out an entire food group, restrict calories, drink magic potions, or live off of soup, there’s a 100% chance you won’t last long. The real problem with restrictive dieting is that an ALL or NONE approach isn’t a long-term approach. When foods are “allowed” or “not allowed” and good or bad, you’re following an all or none plan whi

It's been a minute since I shared an update from my post-hip surgery recovery, so here you go! Hey! This is coach Heather Binns! Yesterday I posted on social media how I’m finally able to hold my legs off the floor in a bent position, using my core to stabilize me, without any hip pain. It was so exciting to discover that some of my strength has returned ! I attribute this "win” to my commitment of performing my physical therapy exercises once a day for 4-5 days a week during

They say we’re the product of the five people we spend the most time with, so we better pick our friends and associates carefully.

Pick a quality you’d like to share, or something you can deliberately copy to improve your exercise, diet a

Think how rejuvena

One of the most important days in American history is coming up: Juneteenth, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved people. Juneteenth is short for June 19. It marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure all the slaves were freed. This was two months after the Civil War ended and two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. And Juneteenth has been celebrated as

Everybody wants to have a happy summer. Vacations, sunshine, cookouts… So fun! So, let’s share a few tips here for how to keep all those activities healthy. The main things are simple: Get outside Exercise Eat right You know that already, but it can’t be said enough! Go for a walk every morning or evening, when it’s not too hot out . Take the dog, enjoy the solitude, or invite a friend. Walking works wonders. (And it’s outside!) Enjoy an outdoor sport , whether it’s something

Hello! This is coach Heather Binns. A lack of mobility can really get you down, so I've been looking for a lot of silver linings in this post-hip surgery recovery journey. Take last week for example: I dropped all of my vitamins on the floor. With crutches and a brace, I couldn't bend down to pick them up. My husband wasn't around either, so it was up to me to get the vitamins off the floor. So what did I do? Some single-leg deadlifts to pick them all up! A little fitness for

If you are looking to drop weight, lower your cholesterol, and prevent cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases, you may have been told to swap the red meat for broccoli. There’s no denying that plant-based diets are nutrient-dense and anti-inflammatory. They’re also naturally low in cholesterol and calories, making them very appealing to those who are looking to drop a few pounds and improve their heart health. But what about protein? Protein is arguably the most importa

You’ve probably heard that you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with. It’s a good idea to keep in mind when you’re improving your exercise and eating routines. You want to be surrounded by supportive people who will encourage you, inspire you, and maybe even teach you. You don’t want to be spending time with Debbie Downers! Even the most upbeat people will be brought down by constant naysayers. Does your inner circle reflect your values and provide
