How to Set Attainable Fitness Goals and Actually Reach Them
With most fitness centers closed (at least in LA) or only partially open with smaller classes, one of the most significant conversations I've been having with people is how to stay on track and motivated during these times. I'm happy to report that you can still set fitness goals and actually reach them all from the comfort of your living room. There are some serious perks to home workouts like the fact that you can do it in your underwear if that makes you happy or how convenient and easy it is to fit into your schedule without worrying about a commute or traffic. I don't think it gets much better than that!! There's no need to compromise the quality of your workout or have the mindset that you can't hit your goals just because you're working out at home. So you ask how do we do it? Stay tuned because I'm going to share an incredible app that I recently found out about + a few other tips and tricks that will help you stay successful on your journey!
Brandi Jeanne BPublished 4 years ago in Longevity What Having Covid19 Taught Me
I don't have an amazing recovery story. I didn't come close to death and miraculously survive. I don't have some inspirational story to play on the news to help others feel safe. I'm just a young man that contracted Covid19 with mild symptoms and lived to tell the tale.

My Slow Movement Manifesto
What if we embraced a slower pace instead of pushing against the stillness? As the world is slowing down, many of us are feeling the dangerous pull of an opposing force: the pressure to be more productive, forge ahead in our careers, and achieve the "perfect" lockdown body. In addition to the negative mental health impacts of this mindset, the exercise and wellness industry can be damagingly ableist, catering solely to those with high levels of fitness and bodily autonomy. My slow movement mantra is this: All bodies are beautiful. All bodies deserve the judgement-free joy of easy movement.
Rebecca LeighPublished 4 years ago in Longevity Learning to fly
Heading towards Tower Bridge today in the rain, the light changed to amber just as I was reaching the approach to the span. I pulled my bike out in front of the traffic, waiting while a bus, a truck, passed in front of me on the Highway. I used to work near here – years ago now – so this neighbourhood always has a resonance for me, an echo of another life; but this morning I was thinking not about those vanished years but about the time, only four months ago, when waiting for the light here, being anywhere near here, made my heart pound with fear, with the certainty that I was bound to be knocked off my bike and flattened by a ton or two of moving metal. Four months ago I wasn’t a cyclist. Today, I am.
Erica WagnerPublished 4 years ago in LongevityThe Dangers of Children Returning to School
Some big problems I see with the forced opening of schools is that there is a lack of funding, overhead support and guidance on the real dangers of COVID-19. One of my biggest concerns is that we don't know what we don't know yet.
Stacy DavenportPublished 4 years ago in Longevity6 Ways Ashtanga Yoga Transformed My Practice
When I first started practicing yoga in 2017, I was a skeptic who had no idea about all the different types of yoga. As an office worker, I had too much stress and I didn’t exercise often enough. That combination of problems led me to yoga, but I only dipped my toes into the world of yoga at first.

Sierra VandervortPublished 4 years ago in LongevityAccidentally Minimalist
The first time I ever heard about minimalism was from the Netflix Documentary Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things. I stumbled upon it one day when I couldn’t find anything else to watch, and I was intrigued; the concept was completely new to me, and as soon as I finished watching it, I ran to my room to start the clean up of my life. As it turns out, trying to part with your things isn’t all that simple. I got caught up in sentimentality, guilt, and the feelings of “but what if I need it some day?”.
