Coach Heather Binns here…Even though I'm running a race on the trails in Calabasas, CA this morning...I'm actually excited about my Renov8 Your Lifestyle Challenge that starts on Monday! BUT, there are only 28 hours left before the doors close (once the clock strikes 1:00pm PST tomorrow, registration is closed), so I can deliver to you everything you need to get started the next day :) And if you haven't joined yet...why not? Maybe you're crushing it and don't need any help

Have friends who just can’t get enough of watching sports? The ones who watch every minute of every game? We know we do ✋ Think about it…that’s an average of 4 hours spent in front of the TV (game time & lots of commercials). And this is common for most people. The Nielsen Co. says the average person watches more than 4 hours a day. And that doesn’t count how much time we spend staring at our phones or laptops – hours more for most people. Our point is: We need to monitor how

Do you feel strong enough to take on any obstacle? That’s a pretty loaded question but stay with us… There are many obstacles in life, and building up the mental, emotional, and physical toughness to overcome them takes practice. One way you can build up inner strength is by building outer strength: Showing yourself what you are capable of by breaking those self-imposed glass ceilings and unleashing your athlete within. If one of the ways to break your glass ceiling includes

Coach Heather Binns’s hip surgery update! Our girl is fully back on her feet! She’ve been cleared to run - a week ahead of time #overachiever Let's talk about what she feels like to run again after a 4-month hiatus with diminished muscle mass and strength in her hip... What was interesting is that the first day she ran, which was this past Saturday, she just started taking steps. The first 100 meters or so was no big deal. It was like riding a bike; didn't even feel like she

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

Hey there! This is coach Heather Binns. What are you feeling grateful for right now? This past weekend I attended my 2nd physical therapy session post-hip surgery. I was happy to show my therapist the progress I had made and left the session with fatigued muscles from very basic movements such as balancing on one leg, lateral upright band walks, and mini squats to a table holding an 8-pound ball. But even after all that work on this healing hip, what was most impressive to m

Sunshine, conclusion of a global pandemic, & fun…must be summer! Are you excited? Everybody loves the warm weather and freedom of summer. And this year, the season is even sweeter, after the long ordeal we’ve all been through. So, if last summer was about restrictions, make this one about indulging in the freedom to: Get fit Eat right Build the healthy lifestyle you want for every season of the year If you can take a vacation, even a brief one, then do it. Think how rejuvena

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

Hello! This is Coach Heather Binns. As a fitness coach and trainer, the wear and tear on my body is inevitable. I’ve been an athlete almost all my life, but only since I began teaching and instructing my students at Renov8 Fitness did I pay close attention to proper form. Anyone who has attended group, semi-private, and/or personal training sessions at Renov8 knows I am a stickler for form. It is what will help you get the most out of your exercise and prevent injury. Now tha

We went for a run in the park the other day. People were out enjoying the sunshine, warmer temperatures, and just being out and about again after the restrictions of the pandemic. It was just … a nice spring day. It was … normal. Well, almost. Many people still wear masks. Some businesses are closed. But for the first time since COVID-19 hit, it seemed like a nearly normal day. We let the sun soak our face. We smiled at a cute dog. We felt so much gratitude. It’s still too so

Let’s play a game called “What’s Your Excuse?” Before you answer, let’s review the most common “reasons” people cite for not exercising and eating right. Do any of these ring a bell? “I don’t have time.” “It’s too expensive.” “I’ll go to the gym once I get in better shape.” “I don’t have anyone to exercise with.” We hear these “reasons” all the time. But the truth is, they’re all just excuses. All of them. And there’s no excuse that’s valid when it prevents you from prioritiz
