Good Shoes

An Incentive To Workout

Having a hard time getting motivated to workout? Then, treat yourself to new gym gear to get you going! I don’t know about you, but donning a new pair of leggings, top, or workout shoes always seems to give me a boost of self-esteem and get my pumped to go get my sweat on. Of all my workout gear, I make sure to keep my gym shoes up to date. Having good quality shoes is super important. Even if you don’t need an extra boost to motivate you to workout, check your shoes. Make sure you have good shoes. 

Proper Footwear

Over the years, I’ve had multiple clients approach me talking about how their back consistently hurts them. One of the first things I always do is ask them how old their gym shoes are. After a funny look, most people give me their response and it’s usually 1+ years or older. No wonder their backs hurt all the time. They haven’t been taking care of their feet. After they go out and get a new pair of shoes, 95% of the time, the back pain subsides. 

Proper footwear is not just important for your health. It is essential! Our nerve endings are in our hands and our feet. If your shoes are 1+ years old, chances are they don’t have the necessary support. This in turn can cause back pain and other discomfort. Prevent bunions, hammertoes, corns, ingrown toenails and other unpleasant foot ailments by making sure you have good shoes. Having proper footwear not only aids in preventing the nasty ailments listed above, but it also reduces the changes of falling. 

Stop The Insanity Please

Posted on February 24, 2021 by - Health Blog

There’s a great quote from Albert Einstein that says, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.” Such an easy concept to gasp, but such a hard habit to break. Folks, it’s time to stop the insanity, PLEASE!

 

Creatures of Habit

How many times have you complained about your current status in life regarding your health, finances, etc? Now that you reflect upon it, you’re realizing that it’s probably a lot, right? We sit and moan about not being where we want to be, but don’t take action to change that. Why? It’s simple, people do not like change. We are creatures of habit. Change is uncomfortable and can be downright scary. It requires us to step outside of our comfort zone. When you step outside that zone, you stop the insanity. It start with you stop making excuses.

 

Why The Cycle Continues

Maybe you’re sitting there thinking about times you’ve tried to stop the insanity and stepped outside your comfort zone only to fail and retreat back to your old ways. It’s a safe bet to say most people have been there and done that. This happens a lot with diet and exercise for people, especially with New Year’s Eve resolutions. There are a few reasons why so many fail. Firstly, people set unrealistic goals instead of S.M.A.R.T goals. Secondly, people fall of the wagon when they don’t see results as quickly as they want. Another major reason, they make too big of changes to their lifestyle and it becomes overwhelming. All of these attempts have the same goal in mind: stop the insanity to get different results.
