SEPTEMBER MEMBER OF THE MONTH
We are thrilled to honor our latest Member of the Month: Jennifer Pugh!
An early riser who is a proud member of our 5:30 am MWF class, Jen has been with BBF since 2015 and has made great strides in her health on both the fitness and nutrition fronts.
"Jen went from a casual fitness goer to a very regular presence at our gym during the week and weekends and she determinedly puts the time and work in to meet her goals," says BBF trainer Lisa Allen. "She has a quiet competitiveness about her and always comes to class equipped with her razor-sharp sense of humor and funny observations about life. We just love Jen's cool and fun vibe and the way she encourages her fellow classmates during our workouts. She has made major gains in all of the strength exercises we do at BBF, and she always surprises us with new personal bests."
Jen is a finance executive with CGI Technology & Solutions and enjoys her social time while also embracing BBF's nutrition approach of tackling small goals and turning them into lifelong habits. She has successfully shed pounds and inches with our 24-Day AdvoCare Challenge and continues to look for attainable and sustainable approaches to improve her nutrition habits.
Please join us in giving a big HOO-RAH to Jen!

Yes! Male or female, the responsibility is great and the support from parents, coaches and teammates alike is critical.
So incredibly sad - and so totally avoidable. We get so frustrated when we hear about coaches who feel the need to think of stupid ways to train athletes! How about mastering the basics to help athletes improve upon what has been proven to work best?? If you hear about or see your athlete doing "crazy" exercises (i.e. deadlifts on a bosu or the like) or extreme exercises that you can't possibly see how they mimic sport, speak up or change trainers/coaches.

We've read about high school seniors having their college acceptance reversed after inappropriate social media posts, and now an entire team has been disqualified from the nationally televised championship game at the Junior League World Series. Please share this story with your student-athletes - "There is always someone watching!" - even on so called private social media apps like Snapchat.

washingtonpost.com Little League, which operates the championship tournament, called the post “unsportsmanlike” and “inappropriate.”
More often than not, extra weight on your body -- not past injuries or surgeries -- are to blame for joint pain, inflammation and mobility issues. Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden, who recently dropped more than 20 pounds off his 6'2" frame, says losing weight was the key to his joints feeling great again.
We couldn't agree more. Before writing off that nagging knee pain, back ache or hip soreness to a past injury or your age, take an honest look at your weight -- even losing a modest 5 or 10 extra pounds can relieve a huge amount of pressure off your joints. In fact, each pound of weight loss can reduce the knee-joint load by four pounds -- lose just 10 pounds, and that’s 40 fewer pounds per step your knees have to support.
