This year has been trying, to say the least. All of us have felt the weight and stress of the pandemic this year. We like this quote to end 2020 because it reminds us that the pressure of the past year will only make us more brilliant and beautiful . This week, we encourage you to look for the ways that 2020 has brought out your best and allowed you to shine. #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

We thought this was a great quote for this holiday week because we may not be able to see many of our loved ones. This quote reminds us that though we may have empty chairs at our table, our hearts are full, and we can still find the joy of the season. This week try to focus on all that is right and celebrate the love, happiness and health in your lives. #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

A LIVE WELL staff member shared this week’s quote and we like it because it reminds us that resilience is what matters. Greatness is found in staying true to your values and goals and not giving up in the face of adversity. We have all faced adversity this year, but that makes anything that we have accomplished that much sweeter. Take a moment today to congratulate yourself for the resilience you have shown and continue to show. Finish 2020 strong. ... #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

This has been a stressful year full of challenges and many of us are starting to feel weary as the COVID-19 numbers are on the rise again. This quote reminds us that we have come this far and now is not the time to give up. We must stay safe and strong together. Exercise is more important now than ever. There is some research to suggest that regular exercisers may have a better vaccine response than non-exercisers. If you are worried about your safety while in the clin...ic, please talk to us. Our goal is to keep you moving. We can connect you with our at-home options (On-Demand or Livestream) if they feel more comfortable for you. The key is to have a plan so you can continue to exercise rather than taking the approach of quitting and picking it up again when this is all over. The body follows a ‘use it or lose it’ principle. We lose our fitness and strength relatively quickly as compared to how long it takes to build it. You didn’t come this far, to only come this far. #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

Exercise has been shown to increase our lifespan but most of us are not just concerned with living longer, we are concerned with living well during the years we are given. We want to feel good and live our lives on our terms to the very end. Regular exercise can add to our quality of life by allowing us to stay healthy and independent. Remember this week that you are adding , not just days to your life! #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

It takes a while to feel the gains you get from exercising, and because these gain build slowly over time, sometimes they go unnoticed. Because we get healthier and fitter in small increments, it’s important to pay attention to how your activities of daily living are getting easier. Maybe you can walk a little farther without being tired. Maybe you can push the grocery cart at the store with greater ease. Maybe picking up a grandchild feels less strenuous eve...n though they are growing. These little improvements happen so gradually we often miss them. So this week, think back, what can you do now that you struggled to do before? Take pride in those small gains because, if you keep it up, they will build to something big with time. #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness
