Is Mindful Eating the Next Big Thing?

ByKristen Carter

Massive amounts of food available. Social pressure to eat certain “traditional” foods on certain occasions. The growing presentation of what a portion of food looks like. Food manufacturers making their food more palatable (and harder to refuse) using added fats, sugar, or salt. Not to mention mouth feel. These are…

What Mindset Works Best for Your Fitness Habit?

ByKristen Carter

The answer to this question could be all over the map. There are tons of theories about motivation, readiness, learning styles, success, self-reliance, resilience, happiness, building habits, how to stop procrastinating, and eliminating barriers. And that’s just the beginning! But I will stop now. Once the mind starts to boggle,…

The Awesomeness of Warming Up

ByKristen Carter

If you watch professional sports you will notice that the athletes warm up like crazy. They roll around, stretch, scrimmage, practice throwing, get the footwork going, and on and on.

Walking. Everybody does it. Or do they?

Seems like such a simple thing. We have all done a ton of it in our lives.  Often if we go to our doctor and we aren’t active enough for him/her, the suggestion is, “Walk more… it will be good for your health.” But what if someone you care about…

A New Kind of Instant Gratification

ByKristen Carter

These days it seems that we are a society based on instant gratification. We want immediate results. We are looking for that little burst of something that somehow we think is going to make our lives better. Or, if you want to put it into scientific terms, instant gratification gives…

What Results Do you Really Want?

ByKristen Carter

Sometimes we start a new project or exercise plan not knowing exactly what we want to get out of it. And, that’s fair. Often we don’t really know what can happen. There’s the direct results, and then there’s related, or ripple, effects. We can’t control or anticipate everything. And, there’s…

Confused? Maybe It’s a Good Thing!

ByKristen Carter

Certainly we all get confused from time to time. Where am I? What was I supposed to do next? How am I supposed to get out of this mess? Maybe those are extremely global examples, but I am sure you can think of many of your own. Muscle and Nerve…
