By: Trent Soares Being active is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle. As we know, America is not getting the daily recommended physical activity needed. It has also been proven that the inactivity starts at a young age. Becoming a father this past year has opened my eyes to responsibility. My view on fitness may be different to others but our ultimate goal is the same, maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So, how do we instill this behavior into our children without pushing them away.

However even that measurement doesn’t...Read more

Give and Take By: Sabrina Blajos During my whole #Brinachallenge I have definitely learned a lot of things but the most important one has been the “give and take”. What I mean by this is making sure to understand when it’s okay to give in to temptations and when it’s not okay to take away from all the hard work and discipline you have been putting in to get to a certain goal. I bring this up because I know the holidays are right around the corner and we tend to think its okay to “give” a little too much and then before we know it we have “taken” away from all the hard work we have put in the past year. I’m definitely not saying don’t enjoy the holidays but if you know you are going to a Halloween party on Saturday, try your best to eat clean and...Read more
