As the colder days settle in, the allure of cocooning under a cozy blanket is real. I get it; it's tempting to let the day drift by in hibernation mode. But let's not make that our winter anthem! Even though I live is sunny Southern California, I still get cold, even without snow and below freezing temperatures 😉 But I do look forward to visiting my grandkids next month in the snow! Here are some ideas to keep you moving and grooving all season long, whether you're inside or

As we’re in the holiday season, I can't help but reflect on the way nature's cycles can inspire us to set meaningful goals and reevaluate our priorities. Winter approaches, and I can slow down, take stock, and ponder what truly matters. I like to lay the groundwork for a plan that I can kick into gear when spring starts breathing life back into the world. The momentum carries me through the energizing days of summer, and if I’m still on it in the fall, I get an extra burst of

I think it's safe to say that many people have a bit of a "love-hate" relationship with the holidays, especially when it comes to food. You adore the traditions, the beloved family recipes – Even those epic feasts, right? But you also have that little voice in your head warning about overindulgence. You want to enjoy the season’s delights, but you’re worried about undoing months of hard work in just a few weeks. This year, shift your perspective. Try to see the holidays as a

Here’s a big lie that too many people use as an excuse to stay inactive and unhealthy: Taking action (in this case, exercising and eating right) uses time, money and energy that I just can’t afford to lose. Phew. Of all the reasons I hear from people saying they would LOVE to get in shape but they simply CAN’T… well, this is what they boil down to. And the worst part is, it’s just not true! I know that exercising and eating right does the opposite. Healthy habits PRODUCE AND

Today I want to spark your inner fire, providing you with the fuel to overcome obstacles and ignite your passion. Everyone needs motivation, even myself, and it's not a one-time fix. Motivation, like self-discipline, requires consistent practice as both thrive on one crucial factor: ACTION! We can think and fantasize all we want, but if we don’t take action, nothing will come of our thoughts. Action must be taken, and that action must be consistent over time. And I'm not talk

Have you ever struggled to forgive someone? I mean someone who hurt you bad. A friend, a family member, a lover… They lied to you, they betrayed your trust, they left your emotions torn and tattered. Sad to say, but we’ve probably all been deeply, profoundly wronged at some point in our life. But here's something that might surprise you: Forgiveness isn't just about mending your heart and spirit; it can work wonders for your physical health, too. Medical studies have shown th

When we’re exercising and eating right, there’s a lot of talk about calories. But all calories are not created equal. And simply counting calories isn’t the best way to managing your food choices. But understanding macronutrients – such as protein, carbs and fat – will help you make smarter choices for you in the food you prepare, buy and consume. Here’s the breakdown. A single gram of protein has 4 calories. It’s the same for carbohydrates. Each fat gram contains 9 calorie

Coach Heather Binns' here... During the pandemic in 2020 I had an idea, and that idea officially came to life last year in 2022. Now, in 2023, I'd like to introduce you to my 2nd annual Renov8 Fitness Burpee Biathlon TM ! Yes, I love to run, and I also "love" burpees... So why not combine them (or a modification) for a fun and challenging event that can be done at ANY FITNESS LEVEL?

Some people say “Success is a journey, not a destination.” And while we agree with that, we also think success is something else. Success is a decision. That’s right. In building healthy habits, in achieving goals, in work… whatever: We choose our own results. We're often asked how to succeed at something – like losing a certain amount of weight, for example. The solution is simple: Decide you’re going to do it. Here’s what we mean – or, rather, what we don’t mean. You don’t

Our culture likes to promote the idea that “health is the greatest wealth” with all kinds of folksy sayings like, “If you have your health, then you have everything.” But do we really mean it? Do YOU value your own health? Really? Most people don’t, as we know from countless surveys proving that we, as a society, eat way too much or not enough and don’t exercise near enough to back up our supposed value of “health.” Why? One of the most common excuses is “I can’t afford it.”

Accomplishing new feats is always an adventure! And it makes me proud to help my clients achieve new goals and try new things :) Coach Heather Binns here... One of my nutrition clients, Courtney Kanagi, completed her first DEKA Strong this month and did an amazing job at it!! See HE R E . DEKA was created by Spartan Race and is a decathlon of functional fitness that offers four levels of of competition: DEKA Strong, DEKA Mile, and DEKA Fit and DEKA Fire. Being a Spartan SGX

Your core muscles are some of the hardest-working in your body, and almost all of us make their job even harder every day! Over time, that can have a surprisingly big impact on how you feel from your energy and mood to even your digestion and overall strength. That’s why we created Renov8 Fitness Core Strong! It’s a 6-week program designed to make your core stronger from the inside out. There are three phases in this program specifically designed to help you become "core

Almost everyone wants to look younger. In our culture, aging is viewed with the same contempt as gaining weight. “Well, she looks good – for her age ,” is a common back-handed compliment. And people spend millions of dollars every year on everything from face creams to cosmetic surgeries to fight off the inevitable. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel and look youthful, if you reach peace with the idea that we’re all getting older every day. If you want to keep th
