 A Note from Keith
keith moore November thoughts worth repeating: The average American gains between 8-12 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's. With Thanksgiving upon us (where it's not uncommon for a meal to have 3,500 calories) we are officially in the holiday season. It can also be a very stressful time of year. I thought I might make some suggestions on how Pura Vida can help this time of year. 1) Do not wait until New Year's Day to make a resolution of better health. It is common for many of us to postpone a serious fitness regimen during the holiday season with a plan to start in earnest on January 1. Although the "New Year's resolution" scenario is often effective for many, committing to a plan in November gives you a two month jump-start and creates a mind-set for the holidays that is healthy and well-planned. Increase your visits to the club (or at the very least stick to your schedule) and try classes and programs that are new to you. Inspire yourself! Speak with our fitness department about a personal training review to get you motivated and a plan established early on. We have the most respected and talented team of trainers in Denver and they are ready to help.
2) Nutrition, nutrition, nutrition. I have to assume that most of us here at Pura Vida are fairly savvy when it comes to what we should eat and what we should not eat. (Welcome True Food Kitchen!) however, if you're like me, when the holidays roll around each year, the temptation is high and it's entirely too easy to fall off the healthy eating wagon. Do not allow yourself to get into the "all or nothing" mentality with food - the "I already blew it"  binge that lasts until January 1 or longer. Pura Vida's Holistic Nutrition department is an amazing resource and both Robin and Sara are two people I feel every member should meet. Their very savvy knowledge of nutrition and nutrient-rich eating is vast, and the results our member's see and feel is a testament to the importance of eating right. Ask for a consultation with this team before the holidays begin.
 
3) Clear your head, or at least fill it with the right thoughts. The holidays are stressful. I wish this wasn't so, but if you're like me, between Thanksgiving and the first of the year, the pressure to insure that the holidays are perfect for family and friends is intense. Stress levels escalate this time of year and it's no wonder why. Take some time for yourself at the club and try some of the many new class offerings. These classes are designed to relieve everyday stress and to make it possible to look inward and to "check in" with yourself through this hectic time of year. Manage your stress with exercise. Take time for yourself. Visit the club and give yourself a gift in the form of a visit to the spa. Our new Spa Director Lindsay Dunsmore will insure that your visit is amazing. Remember to
compliment yourself! Pat yourself on the back and say "I made it to the club today. That's an awesome thing and I'm proud of myself".
 
4) Friends. Support systems are important in achieving goals. Whether it be eating right or sticking to a fitness plan, involve your friends. Share with them your goals. Even better, bring them to the club with you and share your Pura Vida. We will be running a referral program this month. It's a great time to invite a friend. If they decide to join, you receive a month of dues on us and your friend receives a spa treatment. Take advantage of this referral program and get healthy together.
 
5) Be thankful. Let's face it, these are not easy times we are living in.  Things in the world feel a little upside down and this election year in a battleground state has made everything a little crazy. Although many might call Pura Vida a gym, I call it a club. A sanctuary. We are fortunate as a group to have common goals, dreams and ideals. I suppose that might sound presumptuous. I hope not. I get daily inspiration from so many of our members that I am thankful daily to be a part of Pura Vida. I'm inspired by the thought of Pura Vida, and by each of you who have chosen to live life to its fullest with us. For that I am thankful.
 
Happy Thanksgiving,
Keith
