PHYSICAL WELLNESS AND WHAT THAT MEANS

There are a number of things that a person needs to look at when they are working toward “Physical Wellness.”

Among them is what you put into your system is what creates who you are in so many different ways.  I have been using Juice Plus for a few years.  This is an excellent assortment of products that will get you the proper amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet.  The research is solid and has been conducted by a number of different organizations over the last 20 years.

Consume a healthy diet and align the correct nutrition.

• Lean Protein

• Fruits & Vegetables

• Whole Grains

• Healthy Fats

One of the great things about the products from Juice Plus is the significant amount of research that has been done by major universities using the product.  So significant was the research I knew from the very beginning that I would have an opportunity to really impact my personal health and fitness.  Everything is connected.  Diet is one of the keys to good health.

Orange Theory Fitness and the Rest of the Journey

 

Health and fitness is a very broad topic and I am sharing about my journey because I absolutely believe there are some lessons that others may find value from my experiences.  Back in December 2014 I started my journey back to health and wellness.  A big part of the journey was all of the steps I was walking with my Fitbit being the recorder of the journey.  At about the same time my son and daughter-in-law were starting to workout at Orange Theory Fitness in Plymouth, MN.  The thing that was really obvious to me was the physical change that was taking place in their lives.

In December of 2017, I was working out at a fitness facility in Fargo and was at a real plateau in my workout process.  At the same time, I saw a kiosk in the West Acres Mall for the opening of an Orange Theory Fitness center in Fargo, ND.

Orangetheory Fitness is Special…

Why do I want to recommend the Orangetheory Fitness community you might ask. I became one of the founding members here in Fargo. I am a part of the group known as the 5 AM’ers. This is a group of dedicated professionals who know that a good workout is the best way to start a great day. I learned about Orangetheory long before you established your location here in Fargo. Both my son and daughter-in-law are active members in Plymouth, Minnesota.

The manager of the OTF there is a close friend of theirs. Her daughter is taken care of at my son’s place by their nanny during the days she is working early. I have a daughter and nieces who are members here in Fargo and other places in this country. It is a passion and as a family, we recognize three things that Orangetheory does to make it such a great place to get a “total” workout. This approach is toward total fitness of the individual who decides to become a member and part of that family. Orangetheory grows each member intellectually, physically and emotionally. The technology used is second to no other place in the area.  You keep track of your own workouts and have a personal app to track your journey.  I have seen my changes take place over time and to my benefit is so many ways. It is my opinion that it also grows a member spiritually. The members of the 5 AM’ers really do care about each of those who come at that time and they reach out when there is some type of problem. An example of this is the past several weeks I have been out with a knee injury from a long time ago (67-year-old knees get sore and need to be worked on once in awhile). I have had several members and staff reach out and ask how I was doing and when I was coming back. Orangetheory is unique.  Try it you will like it.
