Flexing Fab Muscles for American Bone Health

As a BodyPump instructor, I often get new members that want to try my class because they want to lose weight or get leaner muscle. While it's true that weightlifting can offer both of these benefits, the biggest benefit of all is the opportunity to build stronger bones that will last a lifetime. That's why I was super excited to take on the "American Bone Health Challenge" from the American Bone Health organization focused on preventing osteoporosis and providing education on bone health across the country.

You may be asking, what exactly is this "American Bone Health Challenge"? Well, women and men nationwide are encouraged to take photos of themselves flexing their muscles in front of local landmarks and sharing these photos on Facebook, Twitter, their blogs, etc. I couldn't resist--this challenge has my name written all over it! So I decided to put my own personal twist to the challenge and added a few of my special BodyPump members to flex their guns after working them hard for the past hour. These ladies join my class every week with a smile on their face and their eye on the prize--> strong, sexy, fit bodies!

So here we are--sweaty, exhausted, and bone health strong!

Back with a Healthy Vengeance!

If you haven't noticed, it's been some time since my last blog post (January of this year to be exact). I've had quite a bit going on since my regular blogging days. This includes starting grad school, getting a new job, and trying to focus on being healthy from the inside and out. I'm happy to say that I'm back and eager to continue educating, discussing, and sharing important health issues with my fellow fab ladies!

My come-back comes with a few new changes/features, including:

• A new name: HealtyFabFit. I want to broaden my focus to women of all ages and ethnicities instead of only women within their 20s.
• Monthly Women's Magazine Article Club. To know me is to know that I love to read just about every single women's health magazine out there. I have a subscription to SELF, Women's Health, Shape, Fitness, and I'm a regular reader of Weight Watchers magazine. I often read an article that fits perfectly with my blog and my readers, so I figure why not have a similar concept of a book club, but this time, we keep it short and sweet with a magazine article for a quick read. It's perfect for the fab gal that's busy and can't find the time to squeeze in leisure reading.

 Those are just two key features that I'll be introducing with my come-back and I have a few other ideas brewing in my head. I'd love to hear from any of my blog visitors out there. After all, this blog is for you! Please subscribe, share, and comment to help me keep this blog go from surviving, to thriving!

XoXo,
