Guest Blog: Michele Gordon w/ Wellness Wednesday - September 28th

Whew! What a week here at Fresh & Co.! We just had a sponsor booth at the WPIX Health & Wellness Expo on Sunday. Michele Gordon, personal trainer and our wellness expert was with us for the event and wrote a terrific guest blog for us! We know its Thursday (technically) but we had a slight technical glitch yesterday here on the blog. Without further ado, "Wellness Wednesday" for September 28th. Enjoy!

Happy Wellness Wednesday! One of the best ways to leading a healthy and fit lifestyle is to surround yourself in a positive environment with people who can help you stick to your exercise and diet regimen.

On Sunday, September 25, the Fresh & Co. team and I reached out to the masses at the WPIX Health & Wellness Expo at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. If you attended the Expo and stopped by our booth, then you got to try some of our delicious and nutritious samples of the tofu edamame and Israeli couscous side salads, and learned some more ways to stay fit with Fresh & Co. The Expo was a great way to see other people that are just like you---hoping to lead the healthiest life they can. Sometimes we all fall off the horse, but we just need a push to get back on it and stay on track. We are constantly going to have obstacles that get in our way to getting healthiest. However, by having people in your life who support what you are doing, will help you overcome! At the Expo, you not only had the Fresh & Co. team by your side, but also the WPIX 11 network, nutritionists, personal trainers & fitness instructors, doctors, nurses and the everyday average person just trying to live life to the fullest. 

This week, stay motivated to leading a strong, healthy and well-balanced life, check into Fresh & Co. to keep you energized, and remember to encircle yourself by those that will boost your spirits and  not bring you down.
