Walking is Underrated

Walking is underrated. Not step counting. Not power walking. Just walking. It’s can brings us everywhere. We use it as a means. But, Ahhhhhhhh, the feel of a walk that has no agenda behind it. Taking Easy, with no agenda. Finding the Joy in each step and each breath. Absorbing the scenery. Acknowledging our bodies. Just being free. Barefoot, sandals, sneakers, hiking boots. Your choice. Grass, dirt, boulders, asphalt, concrete, synthetic rubber. It’s your choice. (Although my fave is boulders!🤗) Choosing to engage not for the “step count,” but for the pure movement goodness it brings to our bodies. Choosing …

A Random Note (rant) from Gina

Hey Listen – this whole “losing weight” thing…. I hear you… BUT, I am going to challenge you to RELEASE IT as your TARGET. I challenge you to instead, SHOW UP to the daily behaviors , that when compiled, naturally YIELD body fat loss. Release the doing EVERY LITTLE thing or making all of your choices because “I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT,” or “I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT.” . . Bypass that bullshit! Release this generic, factory, cookie cutter bullshit sentence. . . “Lose weight?” BUT WHY! Go directly to the why: SPEAK YOUR TRUTH! What do you really wanna …

Train for the LOVE of your Life.

Sometimes when we first set out on this journey of training for life, we can barely skip a rope, push-ups are our nemesis & daily aches and pains have us believing we are to be prisoners of it. Then we consciously choose to make the effort to stay with it. We choose to make our training a ritual habit. We begin to understand that training is no longer a societal “have to,” it’s an internal & authentic WANT TO. We learn that honoring our bodies exercise and challenged movements makes us stronger at every layer. It’s beautiful. It’s an evolution …

More about Movement

Get a coach, be part of a community, TRAIN. Don’t submit to the aches and pains your 8 hour desk / at home at the kitchen table job are giving you! Don’t stop doing the things that bring you joy because of you’re afraid you can’t keep up anymore! Don’t pass up the !LIVE! In LIVING. Invest in your inner and physical …

Why Water?

Water is critical for our bodies. Not coffee (although it feels that way :), not tea, not soda, not juices. Just good ol’ water. Here are some knowledge bytes: – The human brain is composed of 95% water; blood is 82% water; the lungs are nearly 90% water. – Water is also the single most critical nutrient for health, growth, and development. It is not only the most important nutrient in the body, but also the most abundant. – A 2% drop in body water can cause a small, but critical shrinkage of the brain, which can impair neuromuscular coordination, …

Empower. Embrace. Evolve. Emerge. The Cornerstones of GEvolution.

I was at my husband’s grandparents’ camp. It was the summer of 2014. The sky was a radiant blue and I was sitting in a lounge chair with my phone in hand and the warm sun on my skin. My wheels were spinning and my mind was open. My bare feet grounded on the green and a warm breeze around me. I could feel my creativity percolating. I wanted to capture the essence of GEvolution Fitness. I wanted to convey that what I was building meant more than a place to work out at. I wanted to give meaning to …
