You’re Worth It!!!!
FITNESS SPOTLIGHT!!!!
Meet Andrew.
Several months back Andrew sat across from me during a consultation and told me how he was unfamiliar with gym workouts, and although he knew he needed to be healthy, he just didn’t know how. During our meeting his “WHY” became obvious as he is a husband and a new dad and wants to lead his family in a healthy direction. So Andrew was coachable and worked hard to learn all about the 4 Wheels of Wellness which we teach. Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sleep.
Now several months later Andrew has become much healthier, stronger, much more confident and even a good runner. And has built healthy lifetime habits. Press on Andrew. You’re a great inspiration!!
But don’t take my word for it. Let’s hear from Andrew.
When I met with coach Rod at Ufit, I knew I needed to take my health and wellness more seriously but I had no idea where to start. I was in a sedentary job that can be stressful at times and between that and young children my physical fitness was at an all time low. Rod sat down with me, listened to my goals and walked me through his philosophy of wellness. He showed me how to approach wellness from all angles from strength and cardio, to sleep and hydration. Rod gave me the knowledge to gain confidence in fitness techniques and the ability to push myself beyond my comfort zone. Now I am able to walk into the gym and know that I can get results through what I have learned. I now have the tools I need to continue growing in my fitness journey and change my future through the principles I have learned. I highly recommend Rod and Ufit for a balanced approach to training that is attentive to your goals and focused on real results.
Join us tomorrow morning!!

Fact: Your body doesn’t know it’s a holiday unless you tell it 🤫. Whatever plans you have to celebrate Labor Day, keep your appointment with yourself (and/or your coach). Start the day by celebrating your own health and wellness. YOU ARE WORTH IT!!
Did you know that the Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate fluid intake is about 15.5 cups (8 glasses) of fluids for men and about 11.5 cups (6 glasses) of fluids a day for women every day? As one of our four "Wheels of Wellness", UFIT recommends 6-8 glasses of water a day.
Importance of Muscles and Strength Training!!!
While losing weight and keeping it off is a starting point, building muscle mass should also be a top priority on your fitness journey. More muscle allows for more calories burned and a higher metabolism, the keys to reducing body fat. Strength training is an integral part of a balanced exercise routine. It isn't just about bulking up…there are so many reasons why you should make strength training habitual.
Strength training develops muscle mass in your body by using resistance techniques like free weights, resistance bands, weight machines even your own body weight for push-ups, sit ups, or body weight squats. Your muscles work harder against the extra weight to strengthen and expand muscle mass which is crucial to effectively maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Expanding muscle mass increases bone density by strengthening the connective tissues. This decreases your risk of developing osteoporosis and reduces your chance for injury.
Besides building muscles, strength training preserves the muscles mass you already have. As you age, lean muscles diminish and fat increases in its place which is likely the last thing you want to hear. The good news, though, is that you can begin a strength training routine at any age!
Your metabolic rate changes with the amount of muscle you have. The concept of doing absolutely nothing and burning calories is hard to imagine, but in order to sustain itself muscles burn calories. One pound of muscle burns three times more calories than one pound of fat. And, (bonus!) after you activate your body through strength training, you burn even more.
Even the Centers for Disease Control is on board with muscle building exercises. They've found that building muscle helps improve blood sugar, sleep, mental health and balance. Doctors have recommended strength training to prevent disease and conditions like heart disease, diabetes, obesity. They've also found it controls arthritis, Parkinson's, fibromyalgia and it even enhances life for those who've suffered from stroke, heart attack, cancer, spinal cord injuries and depression
Strength training is good for the brain, too. It relieves stress and anxiety and studies have shown strength training and a combination of aerobic exercise can help improve thought process and learning abilities.
Strength training + cardio+ nutrient-rich eating= a healthy lifestyle. It's the trifecta.
