The Power of Community

It’s no secret humans are inherently social beings that thrive on group interactions around common interests.

This is evident in the rapid popularity of running clubs, fitness communities, and wellness events.

Fitness, Fun, and Happiness: A few of our favorite groups to highlight are just the start of what’s to come the next decade.

• ALL Day Running Co

• Full Circle Events

• Strong New York

• Coffee & Chill

• Coconut Grove Run Club 

alongside traditional powerhouses like Hydrox and Crossfit.

Strava's astounding growth, now boasting 95 million users, signifies the power of this ongoing movement.

I think the average consumer will continue to consume content as an omnivore because costs, location, and timing are always factors at play.

Today you can watch quick YouTube video of your favorite content creator, use a previously mentioned app like Ladder, or book a Barry's Bootcamp class..

Online vs IRL isn't the main focus, it's about feeling a part of something, holding each other accountable, and creating long lasting friendships.

Insights

Nasal Breathing

The Versatility of Nasal Breathing: Nasal breathing is an incredible practice that can enhance conditioning outcomes, create focus and resilience in athletes, provide novelty to training, and even serve as an insight into the central nervous system.

The nose and its functions are a complex and wonderful system of interrelated miracles that neutralize toxins, contribute to pulmonary function, and guide the formation of the face and jaw through pressure modulation.

If you haven't heard of mouth taping yet, you will certainly see more articles and coverage in during rest of 2024. MSM (Main Stream Media) is always skeptical, late, and incorrect on a number of profound health remedies.

I've been using mouth tape while I sleep for the last 6 months and my WHOOP sleep + recovery scores have never been higher.
