Happy New Year! With the start of 2026 many people look to make a change and star the year off right. Good intentions but the data shows bad follow through (typically 80% have given up by mid February….) The best intentions in the world without a plan won’t get the results you desire. So, what’s your exercise plan for 2026? What’s your eating plan for 2026? ⬇️ Make it know so we can help each other and keep each other accountable. 🤝 Share it here! Let’s help each other be in the 10% that actually follow through. 💪💪 P.S. if you don’t know where to even begin with creating a plan, drop a comment or DM so we can squash those obstacles!

How are your shoes? Does your footwear help your feet be their best? From the PT perspective our feet our foundational and poor feet can impact knees, hips and backs. Not to mention we get so much of our balance from our feet specifically the big toe. So a lack of control and motion in the big toe can also lead to balance issues. The types of shoes we commonly wear these days can restrict feet and over time change the structure of feet. Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of different activities that require different shoes (I.e. running versus walking shoes for work or the store). Over the years I switched to a more minimalist style shoe with wider toe box and less heel drop and I’ve found my feet to be stronger and more supportive! Curious have you ever trialed minimalist or barefoot style shoes? What was your experience? How do your shoes support your foot health and demands of your life?

Hello friends! I made a running tracker in google sheets that I wanted to share since I know there are some runners/hikers in this community. The link takes you to a template that forces you to make a copy that way you have your own copy. I included a photo below to show you want it looks like so you know what you would be getting. This is a great way to track your runs, walks, hikes and see how you progress over time! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bujuLHy7TwMJ0crOPv55QdbRrFd6EAjowhJkUAcAFf0/copy Let me know if you have any suggestions to make to this.
