I hope you all had a Great Weekend!  I had the opportunity to take a quick trip to Coronado California for about 48 hrs with an incredible group of people in the Todd Durkin Mastermind Institute. We dove into a lot in just a short amount of time, great workouts, watching Athletes from the NFL and Baseball  Pros train,  learn about some of the newest technology and products in the fitness industry and network with some of the most talented and passionate people in the industry. There was one thing in common with everyone that was there they lead with their heart and are on missions to change lives.

We trained hard but the other thing that we did equally was had quality Zen time. The picture above is Todd leading a 15 minute meditation at the end of an outdoor workout. I cannot wait to bring back some of this great stuff  to FitHouse and share it with all of you. Being there was a reminder to me of just how incredible ALL of YOU are!!! Please don’t forget that.  With all that I digested in the short 48 hrs that I was there one person had an enormous impact on me…Dr. Heidi Hanna. She studies stress and the brain and was absolutely phenomenal with what she had to share. I want to share with you some of my top take aways from the weekend that came from Heidi’s Presentation.

1. Most of Us suffer from a significantly imbalanced nervous system because we are on high alert a majority of the time. We need to make time to SLOW down.
2. Stress is a Great thing when managed correctly.
3. EXERCISE is the BEST way to strengthen the prefrontal cortex…a very important part of the brain….the decision maker.
4. The top 4 Ways to Redesign the Nervous system are Eat right, Move, Sleep and Connect
5. Stress is HIGHLY addictive.
6. Feeling Isolated is worse on your health than smoking cigarettes.
7. The more our environment continues to move at a fast forward speed the more important it is to take intentional time to Slow down, breathe and  recharge quality energy. Let’s focus this week on making the time to

EAT HEALTHY | MOVE | SLEEP | CONNECT
