  • The Way You Breathe Might Be Holding You Back

    You do it all day without thinking about it… But how you breathe can have a huge impact on how you feel, move, and perform—especially as we get older. Breathing is one of the most overlooked aspects of health and fitness. We tend to focus on the big things—workouts, steps, nutrition—but the truth is, your breath might be the missing link between how you’re feeling now and how you want to feel long-term. Here are three of the most common side effects of poor breathing habits —and what you can do about them: 1. More Stress & Anxiety Shallow or rapid breathing (especially in the chest) keeps your body stuck in a low-grade ....

  • What Counts as “Enough” Physical Activity for Health and Longevity?

    If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Am I doing enough?” when it comes to your workouts, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we hear from members at Beyond Measure Fitness. And with all the conflicting advice out there—10,000 steps, daily workouts, standing desks, high-intensity intervals—it’s easy to feel confused or even discouraged. So let’s clear it up. First, Let’s Talk About What “Enough” Really Means When we talk about “enough” for health and longevity , we’re not talking about building a six-pack or running a marathon. We’re talking about what ....

  • The Goal Setting Paradox: How to Chase Big Dreams Without Losing the Moment

    We’ve all heard it before: Set goals. Dream big. Push yourself. And it’s true—goals can bring meaning, motivation, and a powerful sense of direction. But here’s the paradox: The very thing that gives our life purpose can also leave us feeling inadequate, anxious, or stuck in constant comparison. We set a goal… and suddenly the gap between where we are and where we want to be feels unbearable. We work harder, push further, and still feel like it’s never enough. We get so focused on the end result that we miss the life happening right in front of us. So, what’s the answer? Do we ditch goals altogether? Not at all. ....

  • When Life Blows Up: What to Do When Your Routine Goes Off the Rails

    The last month for Kate and me? Total chaos. It felt like every week, something new came out of left field—unexpected stuff that flipped our routine upside down and made us feel like we were just hanging on for dear life. Forget goals. Forget structure. We were in pure survival mode. And if you’ve ever had one of those seasons—you know exactly what I’m talking about. But here’s something I’ve learned over time… Even when life gets messy—and your routines, goals, and plans get thrown off—it doesn’t mean you have to sprint full speed in the wrong direction. During those chaotic weeks, I couldn’t keep up ....

  • "I Just Don't Have Time Right Now.."

    We hear this a lot. And trust me—we get it. Between work, family, appointments, errands, and the constant ping of texts and emails, it can feel like your entire schedule is already spoken for. So when it comes to adding fitness into the mix? It’s easy to say: “Now’s just not a good time.” “Maybe when things settle down.” “I’ll start next month… once [insert life event] passes.” But here’s the hard truth—said with care, not judgment: Being sick takes more time than staying healthy. Let that sink in for a second. Chronic illness. Low energy. Back pain. Sleepless nights. ....

  • Why Goal Setting Isn’t Working for You (And How to Fix It)

    Let’s talk about goals. Not the New Year’s kind. Not the 30-day crash plan kind. And definitely not the "look perfect and hustle harder" kind. I’m talking about real, meaningful goals— The kind that actually matter to you. The kind that give you clarity, purpose, and peace. Because here’s the truth: Most people don’t fail at goal setting because they’re lazy or unmotivated. They fail because they’ve been set up with the wrong approach. Here’s what I’ve seen happen (over and over again): People chase goals they think they should want… not what they actually want. They get caught ....

  • Why Goal Setting Might Be Making You Miserable (And How to Fix It)

    Let’s be honest: We’ve all been told to “set big goals” or “chase the dream.” But what if that’s the very thing holding you back from actually feeling happy? Here’s what most people don’t talk about: Setting goals the wrong way can add more pressure and anxiety to your life—not clarity or motivation. If you’ve ever set a goal and felt more overwhelmed than inspired… you’re not alone. The Problem No One Talks About We live in a world full of noise—social media, pop culture, podcasts, friends, family, well-meaning advice… And without realizing it, we start setting goals ....

  • It’s Not a Consistency Problem—It’s a Priority Problem

    You know what we hear all the time? “I just can’t stay consistent.” It’s one of the most common things people say when they walk through our doors. And at first glance, it sounds legit. Life is busy. Schedules are packed. Energy is low. I get it. But here’s the truth—most people are consistent. They’re just consistent with the wrong things. Consistently skipping workouts. Consistently putting everyone else’s needs before their own. Consistently staying up late. Consistently eating whatever’s easiest instead of what fuels them. Consistently saying, “I’ll start Monday.” So the issue ....

  • This One's for the Rest of Us: Finding a Gym That Feels Like Home

    If you’ve ever walked into a gym and immediately felt out of place, you’re not alone. Too many gyms are built around the already-fit. The people who know exactly what they’re doing. The people who look the part. And when you don’t see yourself reflected in that space—when the coaching is one-size-fits-all or the atmosphere feels unwelcoming—it’s easy to think, "Maybe this just isn’t for me." That’s exactly why we created Beyond Measure Fitness. We’re not just a gym for the already-fit. We’re a gym for real people. The ones who may have felt overlooked, self-conscious, or intimidated in traditional fitness ....

  • Why Most Adults Over 40 Struggle to Stay Consistent—And How to Finally Fix It

    Let’s be honest: Staying consistent with your workouts in your 40s and beyond can feel like an uphill battle. Between work, kids, aging parents, travel, and the general chaos of everyday life... it’s no wonder that routines fall apart. Add in lower energy, old injuries, or a metabolism that doesn’t bounce back like it used to, and it’s easy to feel stuck. But here’s the thing most people don’t realize: It’s not about willpower. It’s not about finding the perfect program. And it’s definitely not about pushing harder when you’re already burned out. It’s about building something that actually fits your life now. ....
