Do Your Health Audit

321go • February 2, 2023

In our society today, we tend to focus on our finances and family but often put our wellness on the back burner. Working long hours and taking care of our families can get in the way of focusing on our well being. It’s important to realize though that your well being directly affects everything you do. If you’re not sleeping optimally then you’re negatively affecting your prefrontal cortex of the brain that is directly associated with decision making as well as almost DOUBLING your risk for injury. Both of those directly affect your work and your family time. That’s just one of the many examples of how not taking care of yourself affects everything you do.

 

So with that, I thought this would be a good time to re-evaluate health with this simple “Health Audit”. Health isn’t just exercise. It isn’t just eating optimally. It’s everything. Exercise, Nutrition, Sleep, Hydration, and stress management. Measuring all these areas will help determine what areas you could improve on to better your health.

 

So … would you take a few minutes to rate yourself 1-5 in the following categories? Where 5 is “I’m crushing it” and 1 is “I’m terrible at this?”

 

Exercise: _____

Nutrition: _____

Sleep: _____

Hydration: _____

Stress Relief/Self Care: _____

 

If you complete this and find that you need to improve in more than one area, don’t overwhelm yourself and try to do everything at once. Focus on one area of the time. Too often people try to make radical changes too quickly and it ends up not being sustainable.

 

If you are also looking for some guidance on any of the areas I’m happy to chat to see what I can do to help you become your healthiest and happiest self!

How to Choose the Right Portland Maine Personal Trainer for Your 2026 Health Goals

By Evan Amell • March 16, 2026
Look, we're already well into 2026, and if you're like most people over 40 in Southern Maine, you've probably had that moment. You know the one, where you're trying to get off the couch and something creaks that didn't creak last year. Or maybe you're just tired of watching everyone else talk about their fitness wins while you're still figuring out where to start.  Here's the thing: finding the right Portland Maine personal trainer can be the difference between actually crushing your health goals this year and giving up by March (again). But not all trainers are created equal, especially when you're past 40 and looking for someone who actually gets it. So let's break down exactly what you should be looking for.

Tired of "Big Box" Fitness Centers? Why Portland Maine's Best Fitness Classes Aren't in a Megagym

By Evan Amell • March 9, 2026
You know the feeling, right? You walk into one of those massive fitness centers in Portland Maine, the ones with 200 pieces of gleaming equipment, a basketball court you'll never use, and enough treadmills to train for a marathon... if you could just figure out where to start. You stand there, intimidated. Lost. Wondering if anyone would even notice if you just backed out the door.  Here's the truth: those big-box gyms weren't built for you. And if you're over 40, looking for real results without the chaos and confusion? You deserve better than wandering around a 28,000-square-foot warehouse wondering which machine won't wreck your lower back.

Personal Training in Portland Maine: Why 1-on-1 and Small Group Sessions are the Secret to Longevity

By Evan Amell • March 2, 2026
Let's be real for a second. If you're over 40, you've probably noticed that your body doesn't bounce back quite like it used to. Maybe you tweaked your back picking up groceries. Maybe that old shoulder injury from your twenties decided to make a comeback. Or maybe you just feel like working out is more risky than rewarding these days. You're not alone in feeling this way. Here's the thing: staying active after 40 isn't just about looking good (though that's a nice bonus). It's about building a body that lasts. A body that lets you play with your grandkids, travel without pain, and live independently for decades to come. That's longevity. And honestly? Going it alone in a crowded gym isn't the best way to get there.
