appy New Year, Austin Fit readers! If you are like everyone else right now, you are very much looking forward to a fresh start in the New Year. We’ve got this, Austin! By now, you have tried every Zoom workout and yoga class Austin has to offer and thoroughly enjoyed them — but now you’re looking for a fresh routine. This is where I can help! I’ve created a method that we use at Generator Athlete Lab, called the Generator Method, which works to combine all of the necessary components needed to elevate your physical and mental states as well as strengthen your abilities, no matter your performance level. Born out of years of intensive study, the Generator Method combines specified prehab, performance, nutrition, hydration, pliability and recovery to foster one’s full athletic capability. In recent months, the importance of one’s mental health has become more prominent. Everyone in the world has had to deal with adapting to a new and different lifestyle. This abrupt change has left some struggling with their mental health — which is normal for these circumstances. We are social beings, y’all! We need others. We aren’t made to live in an environment that doesn’t allow for physical touch or in-person communication. I’m seeing this all around me more than ever, and it’s necessary to take steps to take care of your mental health just as much as your physical health.
