This past weekend I got the chance to go to The Eagles concert at Joe Louis with a group of girlfriends. We had a blast dancing, swaying and singing along to familiar songs like Hotel California, Peaceful Easy Feeling and Desperado. But what wasn't so familiar to us and, frankly we found shocking, was that the lady sitting next to one of my friends was attending her first concert ever at the age of 57!! Read More

Last weekend I got the chance to check out the Eastern Market for the first time...lots of beautiful flowers, fresh fruits and vegies and unique retail items but the one vendor who caught my eye was a baker. His sign read, "the whiter the bread, the sooner you're dead." Ok so I know someone out there has a grandpa who only ate white bread and lived to 90 and we all know that there are MANY factors that contribute to our longevity BUT this sign has a lot of truth...it caught my attention and thought maybe it would catch yours as well. The truth is that many Americans today have been convinced by the media that all Carbs/Carbohydrates like bread and pasta and even grapes are bad for us...but the truth is simple yet important.

As a Registered Dietitian, I am frequently asked the same questions over and over again. These questions often have to do with improving one's health, but more often than not, they have to do with losing weight. More specifically, the one I have been hearing a lot lately that inspired me to write this antics is, "I just need to know how to 'jump start' my weight loss." The fact that one can "jump start" their weight loss is one of the biggest misconceptions individuals looking to lose weight often have and is actually one of the reasons that many sabotage their ability to lose weight and keep it off.

Just a few weeks ago, Chris and I got back from a business conference in Florida that we have attended for the past several years. Our ultimate intention of attending these types of conferences is to come away with tangible ways we can make Body Language an even better place for you all to call your fitness and yoga home. Of course not as tangible as the brick and mortar changes that we have recently made, but important nonetheless more behind the scene changes aimed at improving everyone's BL experience. Read More

If you've had a chance to stop by Body Language in the last couple of days, you've likely noticed our tag line over the lockers: WORK...SWEAT...PLAY !!! When Chris and I were looking into taglines for our business we found this definition for a tagline: a slogan or phrase that conveys the most important product attribute or benefit that the advertiser wishes to convey. So the hard part for us was that Body Language embodies so much how do you sum it all up in one phrase?? ...until we came across what we considered the perfect tagline: WORK...SWEAT...PLAY!!!
