More people are finally talking about mental health in fitness — and that’s a great thing.
Movement isn’t just about how you look. It’s about how you feel.
What’s In
Recognizing movement as emotional support.
Exercise impacts:
Stress regulation Mood Sleep quality Confidence Resilience during tough periods
Movement is not a Band-Aid for deep emotional pain — but it is a powerful tool in your overall wellbeing toolbox.
What’s Over
Training purely for aesthetics at the expense of your psyche.
If your workouts make you anxious, overly rigid, or obsessed about metrics, that’s not wellness — that’s stress.
Fitness should enhance life, not interfere with it.
What Works Now
Integrating movement that supports your nervous system, not just your muscles.
This includes:
Strength training that builds confidence Soft cardio that reduces stress Recovery sessions that calm your nervous system Yoga or mobility work that improves body awareness
The best results come when your physical and emotional systems are aligned.

Train It Right. You’re stronger than your excuses.
Recovery as a Training Tool
What’s In, What’s Over, and What Works Now
Recovery used to be treated like an afterthought.
Now, it’s one of the biggest performance advantages you can have.
If you want real results, recovery is not optional.
It’s part of the program.
What’s In
Recovery as a pillar of progress.
Recovery includes:
Rest days Mobility work Stretching Breathwork Sleep Nervous system regulation
Your body does not change in the workout.
It changes after, when it repairs.
What’s Over
The grind mentality.
Training harder and harder without recovering is not discipline.
It’s a fast track to injury, inflammation, and burnout.
More is not always better.
Better is better.
What Works Now
Training with recovery built in.
The strongest physiques and healthiest bodies come from balance:
Push hard when it’s time Recover properly Repeat consistently
That’s how you build a body that lasts.

Low Impact Strength Training for Longevity
What’s In, What’s Over, and What Works Now
For years, fitness culture pushed the idea that harder is always better.
More sweat. More soreness. More intensity.
But the truth is, the future of fitness is shifting toward something smarter.
Low impact strength training is becoming essential for long term health, especially for women, busy professionals, and active adults over 40.
What’s In
Joint friendly strength work that builds muscle for life.
Low impact does not mean low effort.
It means training in a way that challenges your muscles while protecting your joints and connective tissue.
This style of training prioritizes:
Control Tempo Stability Time under tension Consistency over chaos
And it works.
What’s Over
Destroying your body to prove you worked hard.
If your training leaves you constantly inflamed, exhausted, or injured, that’s not fitness.
That’s burnout.
The goal is to build a body that performs, not a body that breaks down.
What Works Now
Strength training that supports longevity.
This approach improves:
Lean muscle Metabolism Bone density Hormone health Posture and balance Injury prevention
And it’s sustainable.
Why This Matters for Women
Strength training is one of the most powerful tools women have for:
Maintaining muscle as we age Supporting insulin sensitivity Improving body composition Reducing osteoporosis risk Staying strong through every stage of life
The best program is the one you can stay consistent with.
The Longevity Mindset
The goal isn’t just a quick result.
The goal is strength that lasts for decades.
If you want a plan built around longevity, fat loss, and real strength, I coach women through exactly that.
Train It Right. You’re stronger than your excuses.
Vibration Plates and Whole Body Activation
What’s In, What’s Over, and What Works Now
Fitness trends come and go fast. Some are genuinely useful. Some are just noise with good marketing.
Vibration plates have made a big comeback lately, and I get why. They look impressive, they feel intense, and they’re being sold as the next shortcut.
So here’s the honest answer.
Vibration plates can absolutely have a place in a smart routine. But only when you understand what they actually do, and what they do not do.
What’s In
Using vibration plates for activation and recovery.
These platforms create rapid vibrations that trigger reflexive muscle contractions. That means your muscles are working even when you’re holding a basic position.
Used properly, vibration plates can support:
Better muscle activation before training Improved circulation Low impact core engagement Recovery work on rest days Joint friendly movement for people easing back into exercise
This is where they make sense.
What’s Over
The idea that vibration plates replace real training.
Standing on a vibration plate is not going to replace progressive strength work. It’s not a fat loss magic trick.
They are not a substitute for:
Strength training Consistency Nutrition A structured plan that progresses over time
If someone is promising effortless transformation, that’s marketing, not physiology.
What Works Now
Using vibration plates as an add on, not the foundation.
The best way to use them is strategically:
5 to 10 minutes in a warm up Core activation holds Balance work Gentle recovery sessions
Short, intentional, effective.
Who Benefits Most
Vibration plates can be especially helpful for:
Adults over 40 who want joint friendly activation People returning from injury Busy professionals who want a recovery tool Anyone who struggles to feel certain muscles working properly
The Bottom Line
Tools are only powerful when the foundation is strong.
The foundation is still strength, structure, and consistency.
If you want a routine that actually works for your body and your goals, that’s exactly what I build with my clients.
Train It Right. You’re stronger than your excuses.

Amasar’s Breadfruit-Based Flours and Mixes Fulfilling Soaring Demand For Next Gluten-Free Superstar
Award winning Non-GMO, Kosher Amasar products continue to grow in popularity and sales
(SAN JUAN, PR) DECEMBER 2025 — With roughly 1/3 of Americans choosing a healthier diet due to seeking a more gluten-free lifestyle, or just a desire to be healthier, many are searching for a new, better tasting solution. The next hero in gluten-free baking is here, and it’s grown in the Caribbean. Amasar’s award-winning, Non-GMO, Kosher breadfruit-based flours and pancake and waffle mixes are fulfilling the soaring demand for the next plant-based superstar ingredient. Sustainably harvested in Puerto Rico, Amasar’s breadfruit products deliver natural protein, amino acids, potassium, and gut health benefits, making breadfruit the next great superfood for modern kitchens.
“Breadfruit has been a staple in Puerto Rico for generations, and now it’s ready to shine on a global stage,” said Marisol Villalobos, cofounder and CEO of Amasar. “We’re excited to share these nutritious, great-tasting, protein and fiber packed, and naturally gluten-free mixes with Florida families who care about what’s on their plates, and where it comes from.”
Breadfruit flour offers a light, slightly nutty flavor and a smooth baking texture that rivals traditional flour, but with significantly higher nutritional value. Rich in fiber and potassium, it supports gut health and sustained energy, making it ideal for those following gluten-free, plant-based, or clean-eating lifestyles.
Already a hit among wellness enthusiasts and chefs in Puerto Rico, Amasar’s products are quickly earning recognition in the U.S. for their sustainability, nutrition, and taste and are now available in retail outlets across Florida, like Chamberlin’s and Earth Origins Market.
Founded in Puerto Rico, Amasar is dedicated to unlocking the potential of breadfruit—a sustainable, naturally gluten-free, and nutrient-rich Caribbean crop. Its line of flours and mixes offers a better-for-you alternative to refined flour, supporting gut health, plant-based living, and eco-conscious sourcing. Amasar products are Non-GMO, Kosher, and sustainably harvested, empowering consumers to bake with purpose and flavor.
“If 2024 was the year of quiet quitting, 2025 was the year of conscious survival,” said Keith Spencer, career expert at Resume Now. “Workers aren’t chasing purpose anymore, they’re trying to hold on to their jobs without losing their health, ethics, or sanity. Heading into 2026, people want balance, boundaries, and basic respect before they’ll give any extra.”
Workers began the year navigating extra responsibilities and a workload increasingly bogged down with busy work. These stressors played a key part in the burnout faced by many employees in the early months of 2025.
59% of workers said they frequently experience burnout due to difficulty saying "no" to extra work.
51% reported that their work often or always involves busy work, with 54% feeling they lack a voice in addressing inefficiencies.
Data showed that 6 in 10 workers lose over a month of productivity every year to distractions at work.
2026 outlook: If companies can’t curb burnout, workers will. This year will test who learned from the backlash; employers that reward balance and output over hours will keep talent.
Pay remained one of 2025’s strongest stressors. Stagnant salaries, inflation, and blocked advancement left workers rethinking the value of their labor.
73% of workers struggled to afford anything beyond basic living expenses.
60% of workers reported feeling trapped in jobs they want to leave.
57% cited the desire for better pay and benefits as their top motivation for switching careers.
2026 outlook: Leverage replaces loyalty. Expect tougher negotiations and compensation treated as the clearest measure of respect.
The findings draw from multiple Resume Now surveys conducted throughout 2025, each polling 800 to 1,200 U.S. workers across industries, company sizes, and career levels. Responses were collected online through qualified panels and anonymized to identify national trends.
