I am determined to be the healthiest version of myself and to help others do the same, no matter what. Check out my page, share with others, and encourage them to get started and to keep going.
I was looking for cardio equipment for our new apartment. Based on reviews on Amazon, I decided on the Exerpeutic Folding Magnetic Upright Bike. It’s delivered in a huge box, but only took me about 45 minutes to put together. See my full review on YouTube.
Amazon purchased Whole Foods for 13 billion dollars! Combine an already massively popular e-commerce website with a nationwide popular grocery brick & mortar & you get an amazing combination!

We already know how important exercise is. It not only will help reduce your risks from certain diseases, but the endorphins that get released during exercise are shown to make you happier & help to reduce your stress! Sometimes though, you just need a little pep in your step to allow you to CRUSH that workout.
Preworkout is a supplement that is taken before physical activity. It is known to help increase your energy, stamina, strength, & endurance.
Supplements can help you achieve your goals when implemented into your daily routine with workouts and healthy eating. The benefits of supplements can be fat loss, additional nutrients for the body & additional energy. Certain supplements can also help cells grow & repair cells from workout wear & tear.

Dad goes to his Day Center on Saturdays from 9am to 4pm. I deem that as my “free time”. I truly dislike doing household chores during said “free time”, but OH MY GOODNESS, it is so much easier to do laundry & clean around this place when he’s not here!
