2020 WELLNESS JOURNEY: A QUARTERLY SERIES

INTRODUCTION
THE STORY
WHAT’S TO COME
In August 2019, keepwith returned to SHE Summit Dallas, after soft launching as a company at the inaugural SHE Summit Dallas conference in August 2018, to provide networking advice and education to conference attendees. At that time, keepwith met Casey Librizzi, owner of Ultimate Workout in South Florida. Casey delivered a rousing keynote that ignited the audience and truly set the tone for the empowering conference. It was just after the conference ended that Casey, her wife Lisa and Megan realized that keepwith and Ultimate Workout share many common values and should collaborate to spread the two companies’ messages related to health and wellness, while forming bonds with others (#networkingaswellness). This quarterly series, 2020 Wellness Journey (#2020wellnessjourney) and the work that goes along with it is just one way that keepwith and Ultimate Workout will collaborate in 2020.

keepwith’s goals and Ultimate Workout’s [top tips]:
keepwith’s goals
- To be able to complete ten full body push-ups successfully.
- To diversify the types of exercise that I do on a weekly basis (I do lots of spin).
- To lose 12 pounds by the end of December 2020.
Ultimate Workout’s top tips
- Set your expectations and change what is possible for you. Push-ups are a great way to get cardiovascular and strength training at the same time. This is a great exercise for someone who needs to squeeze in a workout before they start a busy day.
- Your workout routine should not be either cardio training or weight training. Incorporating both into your fitness is the best for your health and overall wellness.
- The words diet and exercise almost always appear together. If there is disharmony between the two you won’t get the results you are looking for. They are both equally important and both equally challenging. Victory is a product of the fight and the discomfort you feel during the process is temporary. You will struggle and when you do, know that is what separates great from average. You have greatness inside of you and you will not be beaten. You will not settle for average. Knowing that is the most important step you will ever take.
Our hope for this content is that it will be honest, genuine, realistic and that it accurately reflects Megan’s 2020 Wellness Journey in 2020. Please follow-along and let us know what you think.
Yours in networking and in wellness,
Megan and Casey

Why
Networking As™ Wellness
At keepwith®, we see the interplay between networking and wellness arise in two contexts: (i) when we spend time on our relationships, we experience positive health benefits; and (ii) results from dedication to regular and meaningful exercise and healthy eating habits mirror results from dedication to regular and meaningful networking activities.
Many people renew their focus on wellness at this time of year, which is why we originally chose wellness for our inaugural issue in January 2019. keepwith® is thrilled to celebrate our one year anniversary of our Networking As™ content vehicle and the one year anniversary of Networking As™ Wellness, which is an area of our business that continues to expand.
