CAN YOU SMELL THE PUMPKIN SPICE on top of all the still 100 degree sweats!?!?!

I swear, I went to bed January 30th and woke up and it's darn near September! BANANAS!

We've been busy so here's what's going on at JBC!

First, we've sponsored SHS Volleyball, Summer Sports Camps for a few athletes, stocked up the local food pantries, and supported the Special Olympics this summer with our sweat dollars - sweet flex if I do say so myself!

Second, Gym floor plan has been modified a touch for some more floor fun space - hooray for burpees!

Finally, I slashed Saturdays from the schedule - I know - weird. However, adding an additional weekday instead of Saturday allows us all to enjoy the weekend, maybe run/bike/swim/sport, or just have some extra sleep in time! Don't worry, there will be a random Saturday fun day offered from time to time to keep us on our toes, but for now - weekend plans and travel are back on without jacking up your training schedule!

So... Group Class Schedule is now Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday from 5:30am to 6:15am so you get home in time to shower and start your daily adulting shenanigans. 
(yes, I do the clean up so you can get going!)

Next Cycle starts October 3rd, just in time to work off the beers, brats and apple dumplings from the fest, but you can drop in anytime as I do have an opening for up to 2 people during the week right now! 
 
I've attached the Cycle 4 calendar below. We 'fall back' on November 3rd so this cycle will feel like we get to sleep in a bit!

During the holidays, the average human gains up to 5 pounds and rarely gets it back off. If you're training consistently, you stand a better chance of turning any gains in to muscle gainz while you're working on the non-scale related victories like higher bone density, increased muscle mass, increased cardiovascular endurance and just generally feeling better by starting your day by taking care of yourself first before you take on the rest of the day. 
 
I hope you'll sign up for one of the 6 spots in Cycle 4 and drop in soon for a workout! You know the drill, just show up - I'll take care of the rest!

Take care and keep #trainingformylife!

Weight Management is More than Nutrition

Weight Management is More than Nutrition How Stress, Exercise and Sleep Affect Weight Tara Johnson - CFL2 Managing your weight and overall wellbeing is a trifecta of Nutrition, Training and Recovery. How we approach stress,  Stress can be a major contributor to weight gain. Stress can trigger cortisol release, and that little bugger of a hormone, meant to give you energy to survive back in the caveman days, causes the modern, not a caveman human to simply store fat around the middle. Stress can also make you crave comfort foods,  the quick carbs  that release dopamine while giving you energy to respond to a fight or flight reaction your body may be having in response to stress.  Sure, your brain may know that your stress reaction isn’t because you’re being chased by a lion, but your body doesn’t. When I feel like I’m not in control of things happening around me (hello global pandemic) I could control what I was putting in my mouth, and a giant bowl of Fruity Pebble...

How to Turn Burnout into Turnout!

  Workout Burnout Is Real... How to Turn Burnout into Turnout! By Tara Johnson, CF-L2 and Personal Coach Training sucks. Like really sucks. If you’re one of those people that hop out of bed, super stoked to workout – stop reading. You are the outlier, count your lucky stars and run some laps or pump out some reps. If you’re like me, ideal life consists of sugary cereal, pizza, diet coke, couch surfing and craft beer joint hopping with my buddies. It’s a crime that you can’t do these things and still be able to wipe your own can, or reach it for that matter in no time flat. So, you eat clean and train dirty, and for some of us, it’s as routine as brushing your teeth (if it’s not, give me a call – helping you get there is kinda my thing). Occasional workout suckfests (a boring monotonous workout here, a frustrating lift session there) is one thing. Total workout burnout—the kind that triggers chronic exhaustion, lapses in workout scheduling, and technique inefficacy- aka “phoni...

  Checkup from the Neck Up Locus of Control By Tara Johnson, CF-L2 Your mind is your most valuable tool! It can springboard you toward success or it can throw you into the pits of despair and really undermine your efforts. Good thing you are in control of your mindset eh!? Locus of control  is a psychological concept that refers to how strongly people believe they have  control  over the situations and experiences that affect their lives. You can’t control the weather, but you can prepare for it! Every facet of life falls under the same concept. You can’t control a lot of external factors, but you absolutely are in control of your preparation for them. You are absolutely in control of your reaction to them. This is the most critical concept to develop when preparing to adjust your lifestyle, whether the change is focused on your training, nutrition or both.  Just like your muscles, your locus of control can be trained. Training your mind to focus on the things y...
