Recently, I had the luxury of having a physical at Tryon Medical Partners. While I was waiting to have my lab work done, my psychotic personal trainer brain would not shut up and I was able to make a number of observations. The building is only two stories and I lost count of how many able-bodied humans took the elevator. So unpatriotic! Please don’t be that person. Hit the stairs and burn a few extra calories while also minimizing your odds of being trapped in a germ box.

Another mind blowing moment was when the nurse drew my blood. She said, “Wow, you must workout because I have so many people and can’t find a vein.” We ended up having a brief conversation about training and she said how rare it is that she comes across people that are “fit”. This is so sad. The next time you workout just know the nurse will be grateful for it.

On this day of change, it’s always possible to create positive physical habits that will lead to a healthy future. Remember, when in doubt... workout!!!

Best,
