JOSIE - DALLAS, TX
FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM
JAMES - ST. LOUIS CARDINALS...LISTENED TO JACK BUCK ON THE RADIO BACK WHEN WE COULD ONLY GET 2 CHANNELS ON TV. THAT'S HOW I FELL ASLEEP MOST SUMMER NIGHTS AS A KID.
JOSIE - ST. LOUIS CARDINALS AND 1995 DALLAS COWBOYS
HIDDEN TALENT
JAMES - THE ABILITY TO FIND (IN SECONDS) SHOES, BACKPACKS, REMOTES, TELEPHONES, CHARGERS AND OTHER ITEMS THE KIDS "LOOKED FOR"
JOSIE - LOSING SOCKS IN THE DRYER
BEST EXERCISE
JAMES - DEADLIFT...CAN STILL PULL 400 POUNDS AT 41 YEARS YOUNG. I GET THE WHOLE BODY IN ONE LIFT! I ONLY REGRET IT IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS...BUT COME BACK FOR MORE!
JOSIE - ELLIPTICAL AND BENCH PRESS
FAVORITE ROOM AT FITNESS WORLD
JAMES - MAX PERFORMANCE ROOM.. THE RUBBER PLATES AND RUBBER MATTED FLOOR ARE PERFECT FOR WHEN I REALLY THOUGHT I COULD LIFT THAT, THEN ACCIDENTALLY DROP IT...BUT QUIETLY.
JOSIE...MAX PERFORMANCE ROOM...BUT ALL THE ROOMS OFFER A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A CLASS I'D HIGHLY RECOMMEND SPIN! THE INSTRUCTORS ARE ENCOURAGING AND MAKE WHAT COULD BE A REALLY TOUGH WORKOUT FUN.
WHY YOU LOVE FITNESS WORLD
JAMES - FITNESS WORLD HAS EVERY PIECE OF FITNESS EQUIPMENT I NEED TO KEEP THIS DAD BOD IN SHAPE. I CAN KEEP MY GOLF GAME GOING WITH THE INDOOR SIMULATORS. THERE'S SO MUCH SPACE THAT EVEN WHEN IT'S BUSY THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR ME TO FOCUS. PLENTY OF SPORTS LEAGUES FOR THE KIDS TO PLAY IN THE GYM YEAR ROUND. THE PEOPLE THERE ARE AMAZING, EVERYONE IS FRIENDLY, BOTH STAFF AND PATRONS. IT'S A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE, NO JUDGMENTS. I KNOW THAT I CAN JOIN A CLASS AS A BEGINNER AND I'LL HAVE SUPPORT FROM EVERYONE IN THERE WHILE I'M GETTING THE HANG OF IT. EVERYONE FITS IN WHILE GETTING FIT.
JOSIE - THERE REALLY IS SOMETHING HERE FOR EVERYONE, INCLUDING OUR KIDS. I LOVE THAT IT IS LOCALLY OWNED AND THE STAFF/MEMBERS ARE INCREDIBLY FRIENDLY. THE COMMUNITY IS LUCKY TO HAVE A GYM THAT HAS SO MANY OPTIONS TO KEEP THE FAMILY ACTIVE, ALL YEAR.
GOAL FOR 2021
JAMES - MAKING UP FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR (THE YEAR WE DON'T SPEAK OF) THAT SLOWED DOWN OUR PLANS IN ABOUT EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, BUT ALSO BROUGHT OUR FAMILY CLOSER TOGETHER. I'M GONNA SHED SOME BELLY WEIGHT THIS YEAR AND MAYBE EVEN TRY THAT 'CARDIO' THING I READ ABOUT IN FITNESS MAGAZINES.
JOSIE - I'D LOVE TO SPOUT OFF SOME MEGA GOALS (HAVE A SIX PACK BY JUNE, BE NUMBER 1 REP IN MY COMPANY, SOLVE WORLD HUNGER) BUT THOSE ARE NO GOOD WITHOUT CONSISTENCY. SO 2021 FOR ME WILL BE ALL ABOUT STAYING CONSISTENT WITH HEALTHY CHOICES BOTH PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. HAVE A BAD DAY? READ A BOOK, WORKOUT, MEDITATE, SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY. REPEAT. I TRY TO REMIND MYSELF (AND THE KIDS) DAILY THAT LIFE IS 10% OF WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU AND 90% HOW YOU REACT - SO CHEERS TO AN EXCUSE FREE YEAR!
