Ladies Over 40

I have been checking my Fitbit after I film seated workouts lately. 

The news is not only good, it is great!  In a 22 minute seated cardio workout we burned 300 calories, and got in over 3000 "steps".  Are you not working out because you think seated workouts aren't effective? Think again! I have been writing seated workouts for decades, and I promise the ones I have on our app work. 

Who do you know that can benefit from sitting to exercise? This is great for beginners, people that are starting over, people that cannot stand, people that cannot stand for long. It is still important to move our bodies, even if we have some limitations.

 Why You Should Prioritize Back Exercises After 40! 

By: Marcy Schoenborn

Click here for 4 good back exercises you can do at home.

And remember back "flab" is lost with proper nutrition! 

It's easy to think of back exercises as just a way to tone up a flabby back, but the benefits go far beyond aesthetics—especially as we age! 

 Here’s why incorporating back exercises into your fitness routine is essential for overall health and well-being after 40:

1. Improve Posture and Prevent Back Pain

As we age, poor posture and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to weak muscles and back pain. Strengthening your back muscles helps improve posture, reduce the risk of lower back pain, and support your spine's natural alignment. Better posture not only helps you stand tall and look confident but also protects against the aches and pains that often come with age!

2. Boost Functional Strength

Strong back muscles are crucial for everyday activities, from lifting...

Fiber and Biological Age: How Fiber Can Help You Stay Younger

Biological Age vs. Chronological Age:

• Chronological Age: This is the number of years you’ve been alive. It’s the straightforward count of how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.
• Biological Age: This refers to how old your body seems based on various biomarkers. It’s influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors and can be younger or older than your chronological age. Biological age is often seen as a more accurate predictor of overall health and longevity.
• Cellular Nutrition: This is how we improve how your cells work in your body, which equates to your cellular age. Are yours functioning like a 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 year old? This can be improved and we do this at Focus On Health! (Talk to Marcy!)

We’re being given so much bad information about food these days. It’s no wonder people come to me extremely confused. The good news is, in no time I help them make sense of all of it, including why we don’t count calories at all in my program: if you’re eating foods that heal your body, you don’t have to. 

But here is what is going on with programs that remove the carb count if an item’s carbs can be counted as fiber! It is misleading to say the least, they are telling people what they want to hear, not telling them the truth. 

Not including the actual calories in carbohydrates on packaging because they are considered fiber can be misleading and potentially problematic for several reasons:

1. Misleading Caloric Information:

• Caloric Contribution: While fibers are generally considered non-digestible and thus non-caloric, some types of fiber,...

As you know we just launched our Fitness App: https://schofitworx.passion.io/

And what a great time to review the factual research on: How many steps do we really need? If you’re loving those 10,000 or more steps per day, then by all means keep at it. But if you’re using them instead of proper nutrition to keep the weight off, it will catch up with you. Consider a more nutritionally sound eating regime, and guess what? You won’t HAVE to do all those steps everyday with the intent of outrunning your fork. 

In all honesty until a few months ago I was maybe getting 2000 steps a day! I work from home, and unless I left the house, I was getting very few steps. The bug got into my head that I needed more, and I started integrating it. But boy was I happy to understand that I didn’t need them. I’m going back to a 30 min walk or step cardio daily, and not worrying about what all the influencers claim!  I’ve got some links to the data for you,...

 The Connection Between Physical Activity and Mental Wellbeing

By: Marcy Schoenborn

If you’re wondering why I came out with a fitness app, it is because of the importance of moving your body. Unfortunately we often exercise for aesthetics, when that is a bonus of the exercise, not really why we need to be moving our bodies. If you currently are not exercising, are a beginner or want to have weekly instruction, and be able to workout at home, you’ll love my app! While, yes, you can do my own personal workout with me weekly, you also have many choices in beginner workouts, even for my friends that need to sit to exercise. Be sure to grab your free trial and get a taste of what we offer at SchoFitWorX. If you like it, join before we’re approved by Apple and Google and save 33% on the monthly programs!

In this blog post, we'll delve into the fascinating science behind motivation, explore how it can vary depending on individual circumstances, and provide practical tips for overcoming motivational challenges.

Title: The Science Behind Feeling Energized After Accomplishing Tasks

By: Marcy Schoenborn

Have you ever experienced that rush of energy and motivation that comes after successfully completing a task or achieving a goal? Whether it's finishing a workout, completing a project at work, or even just checking off items on your to-do list, that sense of accomplishment can leave you feeling invigorated and ready to tackle whatever comes next. But what exactly is the science behind this phenomenon?

1. Neurochemical Response: When we accomplish something, our brain releases a surge of neurotransmitters and hormones, including dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. These chemicals are often referred to as "feel-good" neurotransmitters because they contribute to sensations of pleasure, satisfaction, and happiness. Dopamine, in particular, plays a crucial role in the brain's reward system and is associated with motivation, goal-directed behavior, and reinforcement learning.
2. Positive...

Why Putting Yourself First Means Investing in Your Health - The best investment you can make.

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. We often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities, from work and family obligations to social commitments and personal pursuits. In the midst of this chaos, one thing tends to fall by the wayside: our health.

But here's the truth: putting yourself first is not selfish – it's essential. And one of the most important ways you can prioritize your well-being is by investing in your health. Here's why:

1. Your Health is Your Greatest Asset: Think about it – without good health, everything else becomes secondary. No amount of wealth, success, or material possessions can truly make up for poor health. Your physical, mental, and emotional well-being form the foundation upon which everything else in your life is built. By investing in your health, you're safeguarding your most valuable...
