Weight and body mass index (BMI) are common measures that people use to track their path to better health. There's only one problem: they're wildly inadequate and often misleading.
At Empower, we use a bioelectric body composition analyzer to measure how much lean mass and body fat mass you have.
In just 15 seconds, these devices will generate a detailed report of your muscle, fat, and water values, including lean mass and fat values in different segments of your body. All you have to do is stand on the device and hold the electrodes.
Your coach will walk through the report with you and use it as a guide to develop and refine your nutrition and/or exercise program to put you closer to your health and fitness goals. You'll get your own copy that you can keep as a benchmark of your body composition at that moment in time.
We incorporate bioelectric body composition tests into all of our nutrition and lifestyle coaching programs. They can also be purchased separately—no membership required.
Walking clears the mind and soul,
A daily stroll makes the spirit whole.
A busy schedule can weigh you down,
But time for health wears the true crown.👑
Alcohol whispers, "I’ll make it fine,"
But steals your sleep and wastes your time.
It promises joy but leaves you flat,
Got no time for that.
Strength three times a week will keep you strong,
Deadlifts and pull-ups? You can’t go wrong.
A Met-Con or two will boost your game,
Consistency, not speed, will bring you gains.
Food is fuel, but more than that,
A colorful plate keeps your mood intact.
Protein builds muscle, don’t skimp or stray,
It fuels your strength in every way.
Fresh greens, bright fruits, whole grains it's true,
Will elevate your body and brighten your view.
Small steps matter, one by one,🚶♀️
Keep a streak alive & strong you will become.
The secret to change? Commit and start small,
Little shifts over time become big after all.
Gratitude shifts the heart and the mind,❤️🧠
Focus on what’s good, and joy you’ll find.
Not all paths are easy, not all wins are quick,
Progress hard fought, but that’s what it takes.
At 70, If I'm lucky, I'll look back and say,
“55 was young, just a step on the way.”
Book your next workout, and plan your next meal,
Small actions today shape how you’ll feel.
Life, my friends, it’s a windy climb.
Best approached one day at a time.
And with a long view!
Wednesday Whip It.
🥔The Power of Potatoes

Salt and Vinegar Potatoes
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs (about 4 medium) baby potatoes or small Yukon Golds
1/4 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) or your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
