Maybe you are FINALLY feeling ready to commit to healthy living again. If you are on the edge - this message is for you... New research is showing that being physically active and nourishing yourself well are some of THE BEST THINGs that you can do to take care of yourself during this time. That's right! Two new studies have come out about exercise and your risk for developing COVID. STUDY 1: In South Korea, researchers found that working out REDUCES your risk of getting COVID-19. The South Korean researchers said regular exercise helps:
The study also noted that the World Health Organization recommends people be as active as possible … AND encourages everyone to engage in regular aerobic physical activity, as well as bone and muscle-strengthening activity.
STUDY 2:
In California, researchers found that exercise cuts your risk of dying from COVID-19 by 2.5x. Here’s what they discovered: People who were INACTIVE (not exercising at all):
compared to those who met US activity guidelines.
So the research is in... It’s time to GET ACTIVE – and encourage your family and friends to join you! AND - you can train with us for FREE in our group training program for 2 weeks.

If you want to win at anything, including fitness and weight loss, then you have to repeat a two-step process every day. First, you must decide what you want. Second, you must take action to reach it. Every day. Over and over. As part of your ongoing lifestyle. Want some foolproof ways to win? Here are seven of the best:
 Just wanting something won’t do the trick. Just talking about it won’t either.
Make a decision. Take the action. WIN. Would love to hear how this sits with you! Wilcox Wellness & Fitness WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.

We can't wait to connect with you and support you along your journey with healthy living! Research shows that 80% of people who set new year's resolutions abandon them by February. DEVASTATING. And that is why we encourage you to commit to healthy habits that you can sustain for a lifetime vs any quick fix. How many times have you felt by this point in a new year that it was all going to be a failure – that, since you already had dropped a resolution or even forgot to make one, that you were doomed to have another year of unmet healthy living aspirations? Well, I’m here to keep you from going down that rabbit hole again. You can still have your best year yet. You just have to get your mind wrapped around it. 
Healthy living is a lifestyle, not a resolution. It’s a commitment to yourself, and that shouldn’t change because of the calendar. You got this! Lots of love, Paige WANT MORE OF THIS?

It is almost New Year's... Let’s write a new story
Poor January. It has such a sad, predictable story. You know the tale already. Everybody always looks forward to seeing January. Too much, in fact. Our excitement creates too much pressure for our January, and every year we believe things will work out this time. But then, inevitably, January lets us down. No. That’s not quite right, is it? January doesn’t let us down. Within a few days or weeks, we let it down -- abandoning the goals and hopes we had set for a new healthy lifestyle. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Let’s write a new story for January! First, let’s not make January the hero. You are the hero of your own story. Second, give January an appropriate role. You can use it to set some new goals if you like. But what if you put all that “resolutions” nonsense aside and focused instead on living your best life on January 1? And then again on January 2? And the 3rd, and the 4th, and on and on… doing your best to enjoy a healthy lifestyle as best you can, one day at a time. Ready to get started? Let me know in the comments and I will share with you how you can get started for FREE.

I’m not buying it – and you shouldn’t either
How are you feeling these days? Are you stressed with the holidays, work, and family? Way too busy to exercise, eat right, and otherwise take care of yourself? We hear it this time every year. And, frankly, we’re not buying it this time. The problem isn’t that you’re too busy. It’s not that you don’t have the time. And it’s not that you can’t afford it. The problem is your mindset. It tells you the same lies all the time but wraps them in special packaging for the holidays.
Do any of those sound familiar? Aren’t you tired of them yet? When you reach your TURNING POINT, when you have an a-ha moment that inspires you to take the first step, that’s when you start to address that faulty mindset so you can start making positive changes. The mistake is waiting for it to show up from some external source. That does happen sometimes, but you might not like it. A doctor’s warning. A lover’s harsh words. A wardrobe that sits in the closet. So, don’t look for something else to inspire you. Change your mindset and you’ll change your behaviors one step at a time. We are here to help!

If it’s out of your control, let it go
This year has been many things. Heartbreaking. Frustrating. Downright surreal. It’s also wrecked plans for everyone ever since March, and there’s no reason to think that everything will get magically better in January. How you choose to perceive everything in your world will dictate your happiness. And it is a choice. Everything comes down to our perception of things as they really are, not as filtered through our lens of how we think they should be. If we go around demanding things of people, places, or things (especially a global pandemic), then we’re going to be frustrated and disappointed. 
So, instead, let’s accept the simple truth. This year’s holiday season is going to be different than others, and that’s OK.
Say it out loud: This year’s holiday season is going to be different than others, and that’s OK. I won’t get to do everything I want to do. I won’t get to see everyone I want to see. And I can’t do anything to make the daily news reports any better. But I can accept all of that, and treasure each day as it is, including: What I CAN do. Whom I CAN see. How I interpret events in my community and the world. Every day, I can’t control my thoughts, but I can choose what to think about. Similarly, I can’t control what I want, but I CAN CONTROL WHAT I DO. That includes what I eat and drink, how I exercise, whether I manage my emotions like an adult or a child, and whether I accept things for what they are. And sometimes it means seeking help from others. Happy holidays! Wilcox Wellness & Fitness WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.

Build traditions that work for you, not against you
As a whole, traditions are great, right? They’re a big part of the holidays and human life in general, helping us feel connected to previous generations and nice memories. But individually, well, they can be a bit restrictive, can’t they? And many aren’t at all healthy, are they? Do you really want to keep dressing formally just because it is what your family has always done? And what about eating too much every year because our culture seems to prioritize it? Or drinking too much because you always did before… and then spending all day after the big meal collapsed on the couch… See? Just because your family might’ve done something every year, that doesn’t mean you can’t discard it, amend it, or create something to replace it. And since this year’s going to be different anyway, given the pandemic, why not look for ways to build new, healthy traditions of your own? It’ll be fun, and a great way to help friends and family get creative, too. 
Here are a few ideas to get you thinking!
Keep an open mind and allow for spontaneity and even “error,” since the best ideas are often happy accidents. Hold the past gently with one hand while reaching out to the future with a loving touch. That’s a tradition we can all start every day. Happy holidays! Wilcox Wellness & Fitness WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.
