Liftsgiving is upon us!

Liftsgiving if you do not know. Is one of the greatest events in November in the greater Cincinnati region. 

People will gather, weights will be lifted, and food will be consumed.

If you are a member, we welcome you to join us and bring any friend and family member that is in for the holiday to lift with us. 

Date: Nov. 25th
Time: 9am- 11am

If you are a non-member but dont want to miss out, simply email us with your interest in joining on the day and we will put your name on the list. 

Due to COVID, we are being mindful of how many people will be lifting in a hour. With that being said,  we will be taking names and times you will like to train. 

As we approach Liftsgiving, we will be contacting you with the times, workouts and and any other fun information about the day. 

Looking forward to seeing you there!

The clocks have changed and we are either annoyed by it or we just ignore it because our clocks automatically change. 

But there are a few facts that we should think about when the clocks change. 

It affects more than our sleep.

Here is a list of facts:

1. Car accidents increase by 8%
2. Heart attacks increase by 5 %
3. Harsher court sentences increase by 5 %
4. Hospitals report an increase in a 11% increase in depressive moods
5. Students SAT scores are lower
6. Injury rates at work are higher compared to other parts of the year. 

You might be thinking?
"How can 1 hour do this? I deal with the change just fine."

That's great, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that we all get affected by this change. Especially if we have been dealing with issues in our sleep and stress prior to the time change. 

So how can we deal with this going forward?

Try these simples actions to help keep you productive through the time changes.

1. Develop a night time routine that helps you prime your body to sleep. 
2. Select a bedtime that keeps you in the right sleep cycle for a better nights rest. 
   
3. Limit your caffeine intake. Caffeine consumed in the afternoon will keep you awake at night.
   
4. Limit your alcohol intake. Again, another sleep disrupter.
   
5. Decrease your nap times to adjust your night time routine. 
   
6. Avoid eating or snacking 2 hours prior to bedtime. 
   

Mild disruptions can lead to bigger consequences down the road. 

Its always in your best interest to know the facts and have the know how to counteract mild disruptions so our progress remains consistent.
