Clients are sending me pictures of Trader Joe’s ready-to-eat protein pancakeswith 20g of protein thanks to cottage cheese, along with countless easy-to-make recipes like this one and this one. (Cue my best Carrie Bradshaw voice.) I couldn’t help but wonder… is cottage cheese the new Greek yogurt? There’s also a Heated Rivalry joke here waiting to be made. #meetmeatthecottage
I’m not an “influencer,” and I don’t love influencer language. But honestly, I was just working out when a friend I’ve known at the gym for years came up and told me how much he liked my latest issue. Hearing that in real life makes me really happy—because I worked hard on it. So if you’re curious about fitness, nutrition and health, I’d love for you to read it. This month’s newsletter includes agility tests for all ages, tips on how to avoid overtraining, and 10 lessons from my 10+ years as a pre- and postnatal personal trainer. Hope you enjoy it! Read it here, and sign up for future newsletters from me here.
Besides ensuring you have proper shoes and support, warming up the 33 joints and 29 muscles in each of your feet is a must. This is especially true before a run or if you are starting to hear the whispers of plantar fasciitis, shin splints or tendonitis (or if you just want to avoid those issues!). So spend just a few minutes (literally) doing some basic and effective foot warm ups. In this quick clip from a longer video with Guy Delia, PT, DPT, COMT of Renew Physical Therapy. Guy walks me through what have become my daily quick and easu go-to drills for keeping my feet, joints and all my tissues happy.
