“All the while, I have been running in varying degrees. Even when I’m not running consistently, I’ve always considered myself a runner. It is how I define myself. Running has always been a friend to me, and I’m grateful for the ability to run.”
I am a big champion for exercise—cardio or strength, it all is necessary to prevent disease, maintain sanity/self-care, and improve quality of life. When it comes to strength training, however, there are some myths that prevent people from picking up a dumbbell. There are countless myths around resistance training that stem from its origin—bodybuilders who started training people in the gyms they worked out in early in the 20th century, when fitness clubs were opened to the masses. These men (not many women back then) only knew how to do what they knew, which is lift heavy and lift all day.
To say I’m excited about the Hope For The Warriors Memorial Day 30×30 Virtual Fitness Challenge is a bit of an understatement. Sure, sure, I know you’re saying, “Of course you are. It’s your job.”
Well, you’re right, or at least partially right. I am the Sports and Recreation Manager at Hope For The Warriors, and this program is part of my job.
When you look at your own social media accounts, what do you see? Your accounts likely feature your accomplishments, adventures, or your “good side.” Even if you’re posting something funny, tragic, or “real,” you put thought into what exactly you want others to see, right?

We have all gone through a transformation since last year. There was no playbook to follow in how to survive the COVID-19 pandemic. Now is not the time to be held captive, so Tina Klein chose to help others to navigate.
I have been trying to write a highly researched blog pertaining to debunking myths around resistance training but have been struggling to stay focused. Maybe it’s stress.
The past month (well, few months, actually) has been very hectic in the Bearden household. We planned and moved from Tacoma, Washington, to Colorado Springs, Colorado, for my new job! While we knew a move to The Springs was inevitable, my new job on Fort Carson made us push our moving plans up about three months. On top of that, my husband had several sets of orders that took him out of the planning and packing process for weeks at a time, leaving me to pack and plan a lot of the move myself.
