    HOW TO TALK ABOUT BULLYING

    When starting the conversation about bullying with a child, you need to set a proper foundation first . Otherwise, the focus always tends to be one reacting to a particular situation.

Parents and teachers are here to give them the guidance, the tools and the skills to develop a strong self-worth and have healthy relationships. Here are some concepts you might consider discussing with your child(ren): "You have a choice." Everyone gets to choose how the respond to any particular situation. Tell them: You ....

    5 DANGERS OF TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME

    "Screens" and their use have become pretty ubiquitous among both kids and adults. Frankly, it may not be possible to completely restrict / eliminate our kids use of screens, mobile devices and other tech. ARE YOUR KIDS GETTING TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME? According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, 2 hours is the max for children and teenagers. That includes ALL SCREENS not just television. 2 and younger? Zero screen time is recommended. The scary thing? Kids between 8 and 18 are now averaging 7.5 hours of screen time PER DAY. We're almost a no-screen family at home. Phones stay in the mudroom, laptops stay closed and the TV stays off until the kids are in bed. But, ....

  • SHOULD WE MAKE OUR KIDS DO CHORES?

    SHOULD WE MAKE OUR KIDS DO CHORES?

    Intuitively, the answer is yes. But, times change and traditional isn't always the ideal guide for what's best. Kids are busier than ever these days.And, these stresses of youth are already amplified due the evolution of social media and technology. Is helping to manage the household something theyreallyneed to be doing? Or, should we focus on making sure they do well in school while having time to still be a kid? Well, it turns out that doing chores, still has life long positive impact. A longitudinal (75 years) Harvard Study notes that the kids who did chores, had better health and financial outcomes later in life. Chores were a good predictor that children would become happy, ....

    "For My fit family, I share these pictures. I think it's important to do this as I continue. Yes it keeps me accountable but that's not only the reason. For me, it acknowledges a part of my journey. I am happy to feel so strong now and more confident. However, It's still hard to do, since I don't particularly feel comfortable running around in a jog bra! I'm not where I want to be YET, but I am on the road to get there.

    Back to School Tips for Parents

  • How Martial Arts Teach Teamwork and Cooperation

    Both in school and in life, kids need to learn how to work well with others. While they’re young, they must collaborate with fellow students on group projects – and play with them at recess. And when they grow up, they’ll need to know how to work with colleagues and clients to build success. You might think that because the study of martial arts is an individual pursuit, it doesn’t have anything to do with teamwork. But you’d be wrong. In our classes, kids pursue individual goals as they work to win belts and stripes. But, they do so as part of a team. We teach in a group environment for a reason. Working with other students gives kids the right environment ....

When I first signed up and started this 6 week challenge I started with a 30 minute workout that left me sore and questioning what I just got myself in. I was feeling good for the first couple days but didn’t know how I was going to feel and how the meal plan was gonna go for me for 6 weeks. Im a picky eater (hate vegetables) but talked with Rod and we figured out what could work for me. Next thing, I’m losing weight and feeling really good , working out for 30 minutes 3x a week. By the 3rd week it become a routine in making a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner and following the plan. I’ve always liked to exercise at the gym but here it’s different and they incorporate a lot of things that work out every muscle in your body.

I appreciated having motivational texts from Rod and Seamus every other morning to start my day and get me fired up to where I wanted to be. Even though the challenge is over they still check in with me and make sure I’m still accomplishing what I want to do or what I want to work on going forward.

As I wrapped up my experience on this 6 week challenge I have noticed I have more energy during the day, and in a better mood. I’ve basically had to buy new pants and belts because I lost so much weight.

I love waking up early every day to make my steel cut oatmeal. It’s still a shock to me I lost 20 pounds and over 13.4 lbs of body fat, down 2.6 BMI, down 6% Body fat, down 2.5 muscle mass. I’m still motivated to keep it going! #xfitcommit
