Deanna Thornton Holistic Wellness!
Over the years my love of nutrition has continued to grow, as have my certifications and continuing education. I've recently completed the Functional Nutrition Certificate program at Portland Community College, with next steps to become Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition through NANP and will be opening my wellness practice this month! I'm excited to combine my years of fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle experience into a practice that goes Beyond The Plate to help women transitioning through perimenopause to feel their best!
Experience how much nutrition and lifestyle can change how you feel by joining the newsletter link below! Each month you'll receive a NEW 7 Day Meal Plan focused on relieving symptoms commonly experienced in the perimenopause transition, along with lifestyle and fitness tips.
No weights Quad Burner Exercise
Need to feel a little fire in your quads, this is just the move! And no weight required to feel all the burn. Add this move into your leg day!
Start with 30 seconds on each side, times two. Make sure you're keeping the weight in the heel of the forward foot, light pressure in the back foot (for balance). Modify by not going as deep into the squat.

Creating these habits are critical in a long term fit lifestyle, which means reaching and maintaining your goals. BONUS, you'll feel better after the workout, and glad you pushed through to get it done. So what are you waiting for, go get that workout in!
3 Simple Tips to Getting it Done:
1. Make it a non negotiable appointment in your calendar, you wouldn't miss a meeting with your boss, don't miss this meeting either! You could even set a reminder alarm.

3. Still not feeling it?! Put on your favorite playlist or song, and...
