Are you ready?

It is more important than ever that you make your health & fitness a number one priority. Starting today. Not Monday. Today. 

Now is not the time to cancel your workout or to let laziness or comfort food take over. I'm serious. I know it's been a long year and a half but we have to STAY IN IT! 

Yes this is your coach, Rachel Cosgrove, co-owner of Results Fitness and I take my job very very seriously and so do my team. Especially right now. 

Have you heard that we have a virus that has been among us for the past year and a half? Of course you have. And it's still here. And it's not going anywhere. 

In fact, we live in a world where we constantly encounter microorganisms that could harm us. Our immune system is defending us against these threats to our survival all the time and the healthier you are the better your body can defend. 

We can't hide away and avoid them. We have to be ready. 

That's our job at Results Fitness, to turn you into a virus, disease fighting ready for anything machine. 

As cases are on the rise again I wanted to share a few biology lessons I learned through my studies as a Bachelor of Science graduate in Physiology. Many of you know that we are science geeks at Results Fitness.

Lesson one: Viruses mutate. That's what they do to be able to keep infecting their hosts. They don't go away, they mutate which is what the new Delta Variant is. I'm not saying that to scare you...the news is doing a good enough job of that...well maybe I am if it motivates you to take care of yourself. The new variant seems to be more contagious but not as deadly which makes sense since viruses don't actually want to kill their host in order to be able to keep infecting more people. It's here. Are you ready?

Lesson two: Along with getting vaccinated(people who are getting really sick seem to be the non-vaccinated), the other way to avoid getting really sick is by getting yourself as healthy and fit as possible. Your immune system can fight off Corona Virus alongside the vaccine. It's pretty amazing actually! It uses B cells, T cells and other cells to protect you from viruses including Corona Virus! Harvard Medical School explains it here. 

Consistently working out is one of the best ways to prime your immune system! This review study, Campbell and Turner, 2018 , discusses that one workout will give your immune system a short term boost and consistent exercise will set you up to have an immune system firing on all cylinders, ready for any invaders, long term!

During these times of survival I think of Results Fitness as a Super Hero training camp getting our athletes ready for the outside world. When you open the doors I like to picture it's similar to the opening scenes of Wonder Woman(2017) when all of the Amazonians are training becoming resilient, strong physical specimens. We're keeping everything safe with air filtration systems running in every room and a community that takes care of each other while we train to get stronger, fitter and healthier.

"Strong people are harder to kill" and that's what we build are strong people. 

So I'm serious that as your coach for your health, starting today: 

1. Please stop watching the news and reading your social media feed constantly looking for the next - "Oh my gawd!" You know what I'm saying? All that does is stress you out and stress is really bad for your health.
2. Get serious about your health and fitness today. Like more serious than you've ever been. Schedule out your workouts shooting for 4 a week right now minimum. Commit to not cancelling no matter what. Plan out your food. Make stress relief and recovery a priority. Take your multivitamin, Fish Oil and Vitamin D! 
3. If you're not a member of Results Fitness today is the day we change that. It's time to check in for your Super Hero Resilience training camp. Click the link on this website to book your No Sweat Strategy Session Today.
4. Bring your friends and family to join us too so you have the support you need and know that they are going to be ok. We're all in this together to get stronger, fitter and healthier than ever. 

We got your back!
