In contemporary society, it can be more difficult now than ever to decide what to eat. We’re constantly exposed to different diets, whether it be keto, paleo, or any other diet of the moment. It’s understandable why so many of us have trouble determining which type of diet is best for our health. Some people swear by being vegan, while others think eating little to no carbs is best. One thing is for sure, the fewer processed foods we eat, the better for our health. Most of us know that processed foods are bad for us, but how can we replace them with better choices?

At Demco Fitness, we encourage our community to find their movement in whatever they do and wherever they are. We're happy that we can all be back in the gym and continue on our fitness journey.

Water is essential to all of us; it can help regulate our body temperatures, improve sleep, and prevent digestive issues. We've all heard of the advice to drink eight glasses of water a day.

Negative self-talk can be one of the most toxic things we can do, and although sometimes we may not even realize it, it can have a serious effect on us both mentally and physically. Most of us have struggled at some point or another with that nagging voice inside our heads. You know… the one that tells you that you’re not good enough, you’ll never improve, you can’t achieve the things you want to achieve. We’ve all been there, but the truth is, that little voice that speaks so negatively simply isn’t telling the truth.

Whether you’ve been participating in an exercise program for two days or two years, you know how much emphasis serious athletes put on having a quality workout. You may have heard some of these gym-goers also make mention of the soreness they experience after an intense workout, describing the pain as evidence of just how hard they worked out the previous day.
