Fitness Tip

  • More does not equal better. There is no evidence of a dose-response relationship to caffeine (in other words, more won’t make you faster). A little bit of caffeine can go a long way and too much can make you feel jittery or worse. And never try a supplement (ex: energy gels or chews) for the first time during a race. Always best to try them in training so you’ll know the effect they have on your body.

Testimonials

  • As I reached my mid-40s, a lot of stress, very little exercise, and running too many people to the doctor resulted in lots of fast food. I was feeling tired and run down. Jenny Glenn contacted me about a challenge group and I joined. I took baby steps. Jenny was always there to encourage me and guide me and pick me up when I felt I had failed. I am doing much better. Jenny has continued to always be there for me and encourage me.

  • Vitamix Review: Our Favorite Appliance

    Vitamix. Is it everything they say it is? I'm here to tell you, it's more. This multi-purpose, powerhouse of a machine will not only help get you healthier, you'll be looking for excuses to use it. It's without its flaws, but we wouldn't trade it for 100 pounds of organic kale.
