⛰️Mind, Body, and Soul Summer Nourishment ⛰️
By: Arnica Lande
Summer in Colorado provides lots of opportunities to feed the mind, body, and soul. For many, the allure of a Colorado summer lies in the mountains. Countless wildflower filled hikes, floats on one of the majestic rivers, mountain biking down grassy mountains, or the simple joy of sitting around a campfire with friends and sleeping under a star strewn sky. For others, it’s a glass of rosé on a summer evening, a backyard BBQ with kiddos running the yard, a Red Rocks concert with those you missed dearly during the pandemic, or a morning Fierce class followed by outdoor brunch with the crew. Whether it be outdoor adventures, quality time in person with friends and family, or working out on the FierceFormer, choose to prioritize what makes you happy and nourish your whole self.
MIND
Getting outside of your home and routine can help relieve stress and provide the mental reset you didn’t know you needed! Taking the step to remove yourself from your usual physical space (home and work) to spend time somewhere new is a simple way to excite the mind with a new adventure and focus on something else. Pro tip: turn off your notifications to live more in the present moment!
Summer can quickly become planned out, so it can be extra beneficial during a busy season to take a few moments to yourself! Meditation is an amazing way to slow down mentally, breathe, and calm an anxious on the go mind. Whether it be counting your breath for 3 minutes midday in the office, or taking 30 minutes outside in the morning, a conscious pause in your day can make all the difference.
Taking Fierce classes. There is a mental stamina required for Fierce45, because it doesn’t get easier, you just get stronger and become more comfortable settling into the shake! Fierce allows us to expand our mental state so we can better handle stressful situations off the machine.
BODY
Take your cardio to the mountains for an epic hike or go for a stroll around Red Rocks Park in the morning before the heat of the day. Plan to try something new this summer like kayaking, paddle boarding, or rock climbing. Take advantage of the natural gym that is Colorado!
Drink your water! It’s crucial to stay hydrated, particularly on hot summer days, to feel our most energized and strong selves. So, keep your water bottle handy – it'll be your summer bestie!
Take a Fierce class. The most visible benefit to Fierce are the physical results! Glutes, abs, and arms – the entire method works to build a healthy functional body so you can enjoy your life to the max outside of the studio!
SOUL
Ask yourself what your personal core values are and what activities nourish them most. At Fierce, ours are Community, Challenge, and Positivity, and we hope that every Fierce class checks those boxes off for each client. Once you nail down your own, think back to the times you felt most fulfilled. Was it secluded in a tent in the back country, or around a dinner table with those you love most? Prioritize those things this summer to ultimately nourish your soul.
There is a multitude of ways to nourish your mind body and soul all summer long, just make sure to take the time to do them before summer passes by! Plan the adventure you’ve wanted to for years, invite your people over for a summer cookout, bring a new friend to Fierce and invite them to the Summer Challenge, and savor all the moments that fill you up.
