Ruth has made her health a priority and has gotten great results at Bay Athletic Club. We can't wait to share her story on the 6pm WBKB news on Monday, June 3rd when our "60 Second Inspiration" stories return all month long. Don't miss it!

Community Outreach
Ella White preschoolers got to take a field trip to Bay Athletic Club in May. They did an obstacle course in the BAC studio and took a tour of the facility.
 Sarah Morrison met with the Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union North Alpena branch in May to talk about the power of positivity in our lives. She shared lessons on how to increase happiness and cited studies that show success happens when we seek out ways to be happier. TIP: Check out the book The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor .
Team BAC had a blast hanging out at Thunder Bay Junior High one day last month. They took over PE classes with teachers Erin Andrews and Rick Voltz.
More than 250 students enjoyed a circuit style workout using kettlebells, agility ladders, TRXs, BOSUs, paddles and a Yoga station.
The kids worked hard.
PS - Erin and Rick, we can't believe the work you do every day! WOW, our kids are lucky to have you.

Shakeology of the Month
|
CHOCOLATE BANANA CHEESECAKE
It tastes like dessert, but acts like a multivitamin!
Why Shakeology?
We all struggle with food prep and getting all the nutrients we need in life every day. Shakeology solves both of those problems. It literally fills the gaps in our daily nutrition. We still advocate eating clean, colorful, whole foods for your daily meals. Shakeology is a multivitamin in a meal.
It is quick, convenient and filled with vitamins, minerals, superfoods, probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants and protein. It is NOT a diet shake or a quick fix. It is whole food nutrition.
Need Shakeology at home for YOUR family? FREE shaker cup with purchase!

HEALTHY LIVING RECIPE
by Kelly Lake
|
Pesto Zoodles with Grilled Vegetables and Chicken
Ingredients: 
-4 zucchini, washed
-2 chicken breast halves
-Pesto sauce, 6 to 8 ounces
-Campari tomatoes, one pound
-Mushrooms, one pint
-Baby spinach, one bag
-Shaved parmesan
Special equipment: vegetable spiralizer, skewers
Method:
Cut the ends off all zucchini. Using your spiralizer, process the zucchini and lay the zoodles out on paper towel. Sprinkle with a small amount of salt and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes. The salt helps remove excess water which will help keep the zoodle firm after cooking.
If using wood skewers, make sure to soak in water for 30 minutes so they don't burn on the grill. Load the mushrooms and tomatoes onto the skewers. Season the chicken with your favorite rub or simply salt and pepper. Grill the chicken and when you flip the chicken for the first time, add your vegetable skewers to the heat. The vegetables are done when they are softened.
When the chicken is cooked, allow it to rest as you
 assemble the final dish. In a large heavy pan, turn heat up to high. Add spinach and zoodles and cook for about two minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Stir constantly using a wood spoon or tongs. Turn the heat down, add the other vegetables and pesto sauce. Gently fold the zoodles and vegetables into the sauce and turn the heat off when combined completely. Plate and top with sliced chicken. Serves two.

Team work makes the dream work.
One of my greatest joys at BAC is seeing our members reach their goals. We exist so that you can
exist
better.
We love to help you lose weight, get off medications, find strength, reduce stress, meet new
friends and live a healthier lifestyle... not for a season or a month, but for life.
To accomplish this mission of creating a happier and healthier community, I have looked for people to help carry out the mission. From high school students, to college students, to working parents, to stay at home moms, to retirees, TEAM BAC is a caring, committed, fun and down to earth group of amazing people in our community.
Did you know that many of our teammates started as members on their own journey? Others started on our team because they went to college for exercise science. All are welcome at our table. We help people find their talent and share it -- from yoga to Pilates to TRX to boot camps to greeting members at our front desk. You never know what might be in store.
We are always happy to welcome new teammates. If you have a passion for fitness, if you want to share it with others, reach out to our Chief Operating Officer Lara Torres. She is kind and genuine. I'm grateful to have her at the helm of this ship with me. She's a rockstar.
People often ask why don't ever advertise for positions on TEAM BAC. Over the years, we've attracted the right people and we've noticed passionate people at the club. We find room for the right person with good energy and drive! We look for people who like being on a team are flexible, fun and love fitness.
PS - Here are some pictures from our recent BAC POWER HOUR. This is our version of a quarterly staff meeting and it is always festive. We shared some club updates, heard a lesson on happiness and had a poster contest to promote our upcoming Summer Adventure Boot Camp
for the
entire month of July. Mark your calendar! Tons of workouts and accountability to accommodate all levels and all schedules.
Sincerely,
Trina Gray,
Owner, BAC and Bay Urban Fitness

TIPS FROM NUTRITION EDUCATOR AMANDA FREELAND
|
Calories are an important piece in making sure we are living well and not gaining weight, yet, calories are not all equal in terms of nutritional value.
For example, if one person is eating around 1400 calories a day and their food consists of skipping breakfast, drinking soda, having fast food for lunch, snacking on chips and candy in the afternoon and having a frozen meal for dinner with barely any water...they are most definitely not healthier than someone who is eating around 1800-2000 calories a day consisting of eggs, toast and fruit for breakfast, a turkey wrap with lots of veggies and hummus for lunch, an apple with almond butter for a snack and chicken, sweet potatoes and a salad for dinner with lots of water. 
We do need to be aware of calories but more important than how many calories we are eating is where those calories are coming from.
Here is a general guide to help you figure out which food groups to choose from first for your best chance at getting your calories from healthy sources:
1) Produce: All fruits and veggies will give you lots of fiber, nutrients and minerals for a low calorie intake.
2) Lean meat and protein: All seafoods, chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, Shakeology and non-meat options like tofu will fill you up and keep you full longer which will help you eat less throughout the day.
3) Whole grain/quality grain products: English muffins, breads, pastas (whole wheat), brown rice, quinoa, lentils, farro, oatmeal are great options for getting in micronutrients and staying full.
4) Healthy fats: Avocado, coconut oils, extra virgin olive oils, and fish will keep you satisfied while keeping calories lower than white bread/grain products
5) Snacks: Nuts/seeds, whole wheat crackers, raisins, homemade granola or energy bites, nut butters, tuna pouch, kale chips are all healthier options than sodas, chips and candy
6) Beverages: Water, carbonated water, plain tea/herbal tea, coffee or kombucha will help keep calories lower than fruit juices, sweet tea, sweet coffee or sodas.
*Dairy should be considered an accessory or a protein source, not a main food group
Overall, watching your calories does matter for maintaining a long term healthy weight but, what you eat matters more.
FOOD SWAP: Breakfast is often a meal that is overlooked or it is a meal where pastries and sugary cereals are the main meal. Instead of a sugary cereal try homemade granola (did you know Neiman's here in Alpena has great options for this?) with Greek yogurt or on its own and instead of a cinnamon roll, muffin or bagel try a whole wheat English Muffin with almond butter and cinnamon. It will curb your sweet tooth while adding healthy calories to your day.
TAKE ACTION OVER YOUR NUTRITION:
We offer a 3-pack of personal training for $95.
You can mix and match your sessions to include personal training for fitness and/or nutrition coaching with Amanda.
