Happy Wellness Wednesday!!

Today we wanted to touch on an interesting post by the Institute of Clinical Excellence regarding the spine….

For those who don’t know, a spinal disc is a flexible, fibrocartilaginous cushion located between the vertebrae in your spine. They act as shock absorbers, protect the spine, and allow your back to bend and twist.

The Institute of Clinical Excellence recently made a post emphasizing the fact that a disc is actually a living tissue that depends on compression and decompression cycles to survive because it has no direct blood supply. By being sedentary, we are actually disrupting nutrient diffusion and raising matrix acidity, which accelerates the changes that often get blamed on “aging”.

To read more about the disc, and the importance of movement; head over to and check out their post. You may learn something new☀️

Happy Wellness Wednesday!!

The recently posted a pretty cool article that we think everyone should take a look at…

“Is the Secret to Men’s Longevity a Great Butt?”
Here are some highlights:

Rob Thompson, an LA trainer who works with celebrities and CEOs, says that 9 out of 10 times your knee issues, hip issues, and bad posture is caused by weak glutes.

Thomas Chou, a managing partner at the law firm Morrison Foerster. says that since he started building his leg and glute muscles 2 years ago, his posture has improved, and he has never been more agile.

Dr. Benito Villanueva, a longevity specialist and medical director, says you do see temporary increases in hormones like testosterone and growth hormone with resistance training, especially when larger muscle groups (glutes) are involved.

This article is the just the tip of the iceberg of the benefits of working your glutes. If you’re reading this, this is your sign to start working on those glutes!!!🍑😤

It’s Wellness Wednesday!!!☀️

Today, we really want to emphasize the fact that FOOD is FUEL🔥

If your workouts have been feeling a little harder, your energy levels are lower, or your recovery is taking longer; your nutrition may be part of the picture.

Your body needs energy (food) to support movement, recovery, focus, and daily function. Under fueling your body can impact strength gains, joint health, muscle recovery, focus, and coordination. A healthy diet provides the resources your body needs to adapt to movement, and consistent fuel leads to consistent progress.

Food isn’t something to “earn” through exercise, and exercise isn’t something you do to “burn off” food. A supportive fueling pattern includes regular meals, and a balance of carbs, proteins, and fats. (And a cookie here and there isn’t going to hurt either).

Scroll through our post to find some meal ideas for a balanced diet, and please remember that FOOD is FUEL, not your enemy!

Happy Wellness Wednesday!!

Are you having trouble finding time in your day to fit a workout in? Don’y worry, we’ve all been there. That’s why we wanted to introduce to you something called “Exercise Snacking”; a way to get a little more physical activity in throughout your day without requiring a gym, equipment, or long time commitment.

Exercise snacking is short bursts of physical activity that last just 30 seconds to a few minutes, and are performed multiple times throughout the day to break up sedentary time. Super easy and efficient!

A few examples include:
- Taking the stairs instead of the elevator
- 10 squats every hour
- Calf raises while brushing your teeth
- Walking lunges down the hallway

For more examples of exercise snacking, scroll through this post!
(And if you’re reading this, being “too busy” is no longer a valid excuse to not get your exercise in😆)

Here’s to another Wellness Wednesday!!

Today we wanted to emphasize the importance of daily physical activity. Did you know that just 10 minutes of physical activity a day can decrease your risk of mortality? A study posted by the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that compared with inactive individuals, those who perform anywhere between 10-59 minutes of “leisure” physical activity a week had 18% lower risk of all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality (cancer/cardiovascular disease). This means that even just a short, 10 minute walk once a week could decrease mortality rates. Additionally, those who reported 150-299 minutes of leisure physical activity a week had a 31% reduced risk of mortality. There was an even larger reduction in mortality for vigorous physical activity.

What this study is saying, is that the more physical activity you incorporate into your life, the longer you are likely to live, and your chances of developing cancer or cardiovascular disease significantly decreases.

We encourage everyone reading this to take this as your sign to get out there, move your body, and Perform Well!!!

For today’s Wellness Wednesday post, we want to congratulate one hard working, determined individual…

Congratulations, Linda on your major accomplishment of running this years Tokyo Marathon!! We couldn’t be more proud.

Linda first came to us in November of 2025. She was in need of physical therapy after breaking her femur while running the Chicago Marathon. She had one goal in mind: run the 2026 Tokyo Marathon. With only 4 and a half months until race day, she was determined to put in the work to recover from her injury, and train for the marathon at the same time. Linda worked hard with us for those 4 and a half months, and crossed the finish line in Tokyo on March 1st, despite the fact that her type of injury typically takes 6 months to heal. She is now just two races away from earning the Abbot World Marathon Majors Six Star Medal!🤯👏

Linda, your hard work and determination is inspiring, and we are so proud of you!

We’ve got some cool news to share for today’s Wellness Wednesday!!

The American College of Sports Medicine () recently updated their resistance training guidelines for the first time in 17 years! The new guidelines are as follows:

1. Consistency beats perfection - Showing up regularly is better than a perfect day here and there.
2. Match your training to your goal - Adjust your workouts to cater to the results you want to see.
3. Make it personal - Pick a routine that works for YOU.
4. You don’t need a gym - Home-based training is just as effective as going to a gym.
5. Most “advanced” techniques are optional - You will still get results without going to extreme measures.

To learn more about the ACSM resistance training guidelines, check out this article from their website:
