Have you ever found yourself winded from climbing the stairs? You're not alone. Whether you're an avid runner or a person who enjoys a long walk once or twice a week, endurance plays a big part in both our daily lives and our fitness routines. To help increase our stamina, we reached out to Ben Wegman, a trainer at The Fhitting Room.
Just as the act of working out is important, so too is increasing our stamina. According to Wegman, endurance is a significant part of any physical activity, as it "increases the amount of oxygen in the body, therefore increasing or boosting your ability to perform an exercise for a longer period." Be it carrying groceries into the house or running a marathon, endurance activities benefit "every aspect of your life," says Wegman.

They appear on restaurant menus, milk cartons and bags of baby carrots. Grocery stores display stacks of foods packaged with bright and colorful “low-calorie” claims. Calories aren’t an ingredient of your food. But they’re key to understanding what you are eating.
A calorie is the measure of stored energy in something — energy that can be released (as heat) when burned. A cup of frozen peas has a very different temperature than a cup of cooked peas. But both should contain the same number of calories (or stored energy). How An Ownership Mindset Can Change Your Team's Culture by Barry McCarthy (www.forbes.com)4/18/2022 A company’s success is generally measured by its stock price appreciation. That is what most investors are looking for. In any large business, or frankly in any size business, aligning employee and shareholder interests is an incredible way to drive an ownership culture.
Owners act and think differently than employees. Owners are naturally passionate about their company and deeply committed to its success. The business is more than a source of income — it’s part of their identity. Consequently, they view its success as their own. Take a small-business owner. The business lives and dies on the passion and drive of the entrepreneur. I have met hundreds of small-business owners over the years, and the ones who succeed consistently believe in that owners’ mindset and are deeply, personally invested in their company’s success. The concept of “bad vibes” (though difficult to pinpoint scientifically or medically) is a sensation that resonates with many people, no matter the circumstance in which they might arise. Perhaps you walk into a room and a disconcerted feeling washes over you. Or maybe you spend time with a negative person and find that their energy makes you feel down, too. Or, maybe you’re the one who’s feeling off for no apparent reason, and you’re looking for a way to lighten things up—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
5 Ways To Stay Focused In A World Full Of Distractions by Harvey Deutschendorf (www.fastcompany.com)4/18/2022 In every success story, the longest chapter is the one about determination.
While success demands many things from us, willpower and determination always come up at the top of the list. Many people believe that we are born with determination and those that succeed are simply the fortunate ones who are born with an abundant supply. But if you ask any successful person they will tell you they were not born with more determination; they always found a way to harness and use what they have more effectively. Here are five ways to harness your determination and stay focused: 820 Bay Ave, Suite 230J, Capitola, CA 95010 Whether you are in Santa Cruz, Capitola, or Aptos, Anita's will find you a local professional who can help you with your deep cleaning, spring cleaning, moving in or moving out cleaning, or just regular house cleaning service.

If you're interested in giving us a try, we recommend that you book at least two weeks in advance to secure an appointment. The old adage “Use it or lose it” applies not only to our physical health but also to our cognitive health. We know that regular physical exercise is important, especially as we get older and want to reduce our risk of developing diseases and other health issues associated with aging. For instance, strength exercises can help build muscle and reduce the risk of osteoporosis; balance exercises can help prevent falls; and flexibility and stretching exercises can help maintain range of motion to stay limber, according to the National Institute on Aging.
Similarly, your brain's cognitive reserve — its ability to withstand neurological damage due to aging and other factors without showing signs of slowing or memory loss — can also benefit from exercise, both physical and cognitive. Just as weight workouts add lean muscle to your body and help you retain more muscle in your later years, researchers now believe that following a brain-healthy lifestyle and performing regular, targeted brain exercises can increase your brain’s cognitive reserve. Everyone feels anxious or nervous at times. Feelings like these can surface when you face a challenge. They might happen when the pressure is on to do well. They can happen when you fear making a mistake, looking bad, or being judged.
These situations are usually not dangerous. But the brain responds as if they are. For example, you might feel nervous before taking big tests or exams. You might feel anxious when it’s your turn to speak in class. These feelings can be uncomfortable, but you can cope. Instead of avoiding things that prompt anxiety, it’s best to face them. You might be surprised by what you can do. Here are five things that can help you learn to cope with anxiety: |
