Apple to GNU/Linux Journal: Food and exercise tracking with LibreOffice Calc
Transitioning my health tracking from proprietary apps on Apple devices to Free Software on GNU+Linux has proven fairly easy. The result is a simple spreadsheet that is private, future-proof, easy to update and back-up.

My SPARTA Strength Class (ages 65–97) at the Malden Senior Center welcomed two summer interns into a full-body experience. ✨These rockstars didn’t just demonstrate—they inspired. From cheers to high-fives, it was age-defying unity in motion.
📣We’re not just breaking a sweat—we’re breaking stereotypes.

🗣️Thank you to Nate for having me on the Coach Vision #Podcast
To fellow coaches and #fitness pros: Our lived experiences aren’t just valid—they’re vital. They help us build inclusive spaces, challenge #racism and #misogyny, and drive #health equity in our industry and communities💪🏾
📣These conversations aren’t always easy—but they’re always necessary. And they’re worth it

🥊Fight Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) with Unilateral Strength Training!
🔥Watch my 50+ online rockstar client (first time!) crush the underused single-arm dumbbell front squat.
✅Contralateral loading—holding the weight on one side—not only challenges balance, but also activates deep stabilizers that bilateral exercises often miss. Bonus: it supports joint health from knees to spine
💪🏾Unilateral training like this is essential for building a stronger, healthier you!

🇺🇸Never forget: The Constitution cannot be selectively applied or disregarded when inconvenient. Rights aren’t reserved for the few—they’re guaranteed for all. History reminds us that when one group is dehumanized, others are never far behind.
Your voice matters. Don’t let silence win. Know your rights, and protect the rights of those you serve…
4/4
👉🏽 As Coach Wilder puts it:
“The only way you can protect people is understanding that the Constitution has a role. And we have to rely on that. And we can’t cherry-pick it.”

People who survive heart attacks often emerge feeling like they have a new lease on life. They might quit their jobs, go to Disneyland or otherwise make big change. One change they ought to be thinking about: Physical activity. Many studies have shown #exercise and #fitness to be vital to good #health, in just about all situations. Including after a heart attack, new research reveals. Even light activity goes a long way.
📣Coach Tip: Laughter is the most underreported and accessible way to enhance your quality of life.😅
✅ #Fun fact: #Laughter rewires the brain, boosts your immune system, and deepens human connection. You don’t need a #gym membership, fancy supplements, or a five-step morning routine—just a reason to laugh.
And hey, there’s no shame in being the person who laughs a little too loudly. That might be exactly what someone else needs today.🤣

1/🚨 Heat Wave Reminder: Check In, Speak Up, Save a Life☀️
After teaching my strength class at the Milano Senior Center in Melrose today, I was driving home when I noticed an older woman sitting alone on the curb. It didn’t feel right—especially in this dangerous heat. I turned around, flagged down a nearby police cruiser, and let the officer know I was an EMT-B and concerned.
We found she…

A deeply personal share.
I would love to only post about #fitness, healthy living, and create the illusion that all is well. But that would be dishonest to my principles and values.
Those cheering “Alligator Alcatraz” aren’t just spectators— They’re part of a growing effort to normalize dehumanization through policy, rhetoric, and spectacle.
Some can scroll past this.
I can’t.

📣“Perception shapes possibility." — Coach Julio
P is for Perception—from the acronym and title of my book, S.P.A.R.T.A. Seniors.
With over 20 years in the fitness industry, I’ve learned that we don’t just train the body—we train the belief behind the movement.
Because when perception shifts, possibility expands.
Read Chapter 1 of my book SPARTA Seniors—free: Perception and Fears: The Missing Link of Older Adult Training 🔗 https://www.fitnessfoundry.net/sparta-seniors-synchronicity-of-science-perception-of-limitations-movement/sparta-seniors-chapter-1/
🎉Sustainable, Long-Term Weight Loss Success! 🎉
This message truly made my day.🙌🏽
🎯My online client didn’t just hit her goal—she built the mindset and habits to keep it for good. That’s the power of real coaching: it’s not just about numbers; it’s about believing in someone’s potential and helping them believe in it too.
➡️ No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just lasting change.
✅Never give up on your goals. You are worth it.
