6/8/22- Summer Time Fitness – Take a Hike!
Summer is upon us! This month’s WOW’s will focus on brainstorming ideas to get out of the house and making the most of your summer! Keep in mind to follow sun safety tips and visit the CDC’s website for more information to adequately protect you and your loved ones.
This week’s WOW is to go for a hike! Sacramento is close to Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, and Auburn/Grass Valley, which all contain beautiful areas to hike and be outdoors. Keep in mind to bring plenty of layers, water, snacks, and comfortable shoes.
One of my favorite scenic views in Placerville is Foresthill Bridge. This bridge is the highest bridge by deck height in California and the 4th highest bridge in the United States. In addition to the views, there are great areas to hike and explore.
No worries if you cannot make it to this location! There are plenty of local spots along the American River to explore and create wonderful memories.

6/1/22- Summer Time Fitness – Take a Walk By Water
Summer is upon us! This month’s WOW’s will focus on brainstorming ideas to get out of the house and making the most of your summer! Keep in mind to follow sun safety tips and visit the CDC’s website for more information to adequately protect you and your loved ones.
This week’s WOW is to go for a walk by the lake, river, or ocean! I find the water to be very therapeutic and calming. Bringing a loved one with you will keep you company and you can share the beautiful moment together!
Below is a beautiful shot of Tower Bridge in Old Sacramento. If you’ve never been, now is the time to enjoy walking next to the water!

5/25/22 – Supercharge Your Workouts
May 7th is National Fitness Day! This month’s WOW’s is to celebrate this day through participating in fitness and switching up your exercise routine.
This week’s workout is to find inspiration to supercharge your workouts. When I feel tired, I think about my parents and how hard they worked to give me and my siblings a better future. They came to America as immigrants with nothing and gave us food, shelter, and love. I know that if my parents persevered and endured through hard times, I can get through anything, especially a challenging workout.
Your inspiration can come from anyone! It can be a spiritual figure, a professional athlete, and even a workout buddy you look up to. If you need some help finding someone, you can watch Rocky Balboa, Karate Kid, Cool Runnings, or Bend it like Beckham. These movies will help ignite the fire inside of you!
