Get Lively with Jan

About a year ago or so ago Oprah Winfrey interviewed Lady Gaga as she kicked off a wellness tour.  Being a big fan of Gaga, I couldn’t wait to watch. And as expected, I loved them both even more after watching the interview. This week’s message draws on a concept that Lady Gaga shared during […]

A few weeks ago, I wrote about people asking me if I eat certain foods.   I talked about how it usually gets posed as a question in which they imply the answer: “You don’t eat pizza, DO YOU?” Well this week we are going to take this a step further… Now offering LIVESTREAM virtual classes […]

On last week’s show, one of the things that I talked about was how we can get stuck in this loop of convincing ourselves that we’ll never succeed because we’ve “always failed” in the past.  It was in the context of living with an “all or nothing” mindset, which that, in and of itself, can […]

Recently, I offered a workshop about getting to GOOD. Getting to GOOD and getting really comfortable in that place. If you are thinking to yourself, Jan, what the HECK are you talking about?  Don’t worry, I’ll explain… Now offering LIVESTREAM virtual classes from right inside the Get Lively®: Health & Fitness Studio!  Join from anywhere […]

You all know how much I love sharing stuff that I’ve read.  Well this week is one of those weeks. I’ve actually mentioned the book “The Gut Makeover” previously, as I’ve been reading it along with one of my fabulous corporate clients.   Today’s message and this week’s podcast are not going to really get into […]

There are a few questions that I get asked a lot. And here’s one of them: Jan, do you eat whatever you want? People ask me that ALL the time.  But what I really think they are asking is this: Jan, you don’t ACTUALLY eat anything you want, do you???? Now offering LIVESTREAM virtual classes […]

We often talk about eating when we are stressed out and how this is something to AVOID. Well, it is if we are eating stuff that is not really that good for us and that will make us feel worse in the long run… But I don’t often talk about how to address stress with […]

Yes, I’m sharing how I gained 5lbs over the weekend. It was actually Super Bowl weekend…  I don’t normally talk about weight, but I knew the mental struggle that I had to overcome to get myself back to good.

I read a great article in the Huffington Post about hitting the Pandemic wall. Who out there feels like they’ve been banging their heads against it for awhile now? I hear you.  As I’ve been talking about over the last few weeks, we’ve been at this for a year!  So many ups and downs. Now offering […]

The other day I was STRUGGLING.   I couldn’t seem to make anything work.   EVERYTHING felt like a chore. And EVERYTHING felt tough.  Even the simple things that I normally do with ease. I couldn’t figure out how to handle a situation – I just kept butting heads with it. Can you relate? Now offering LIVESTREAM […]

The new year must be in full swing as my WHEELS are SPINNING! This just seems to be part of my natural rhythm… by December I’m ready to do a face plant into my Ugg blanket, but then somehow a spark is lit under my ‘you know what‘ in January and I’m ready to ROLL […]

I have to tell you, I’m smiling ear to ear as I type this to you all. A good feeling to start a new month! So, why am I smiling you might ask? Now offering LIVESTREAM virtual classes from right inside the Get Lively®: Health & Fitness Studio!  Join from anywhere – look for classes […]

Oh my goodness, it is the last week of January.  Where did THAT time go?? Well, another month, and another story to share… ;) This one takes us to my living room where I take a few moments each morning to do a routine that helps me start the day off right. Now offering LIVESTREAM […]

I know, I know… you guys get tired of my hopping on my soapbox about diets… BUT given the time of year, I thought it would be a good time to revisit some of the questions I encourage you to ask yourself BEFORE starting any diet or lifestyle plan. Now offering LIVESTREAM virtual classes from […]

Well, it’s a NEW YEAR, and if you’ve been around these parts for a while, you know that means… It’s time for a new DAILY READER! Oh how I love me a good daily reader to kick off my days and find inspiration to share with all of you! Now offering LIVESTREAM virtual classes from […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Wow, that was an interesting one that just passed… right? And well, just because the calendar has flipped doesn’t mean that the Pandemic is over, BUT it does represent that wonderful opportunity to start with a clean slate.

I get it, this year has been ROUGH.  And if you know me, you know that I love tossing around the term DUMPSTER FIRE like it’s my job. (I find that expression to be so funny!) But, my friends, even THIS dumpster fire of a year deserves some gratitude. So, I did what I do […]

Well, friends, today I wanted to share some really simple (and digestible) information that I came across in a book that I’m working through with one of my corporate wellness clients. The book is The Gut Makeover by Jeannette Hyde, and it is a four week protocol designed to help heal the gut and improve […]

WHY BOTHER? It’s so easy to feel like the little things we are doing right now don’t matter. It’s so easy to feel like the BIG thing we are doing right now might not matter if surging covid numbers cause things to change again. Well, friends, that is EXACTLY where I’m at.  Are you? Now […]

Hoping this is finding you and your loved ones well. This time of year we tend to chat a lot about gratitude and being thankful.   We also tend to talk about our loved ones who are no longer with us.

I know, I know, this holiday season is NOT going as planned…  Life is pretty challenging these days, I get it, I’m feeling it too. So that’s why I decided to take a quick inventory of my favorite things to do this time of year. Now offering LIVESTREAM virtual classes from right inside the Get […]

And poof! It’s Thanksgiving week! For many of you in the Get Lively world, it also means that we are almost at the end of our month long “Planksgiving” challenge. Yes, we’ve been planking all month long… adding seconds every day. Now offering LIVESTREAM virtual classes from right inside the Get Lively®: Health & Fitness […]

I got in my car and popped my Yeti in my cup holder. UGH!!!!  Sand in my cup holder!  (Confession: the sand has been there since the summer, but I haven’t gotten around to vacuuming it out.) We are quick to let little annoyances feel significant, but we often discount the overall positive impact that […]

Yes, my lively friends, it is time to celebrate as the Get Lively with Jan Show is celebrating it’s 3rd ANNIVERSARY!!! Wow.  Three years.  156 episodes. I now have this 3 year high wall to stand on and say: Jan, you got this far, you KNOW you can keep building.   And I will. Now offering […]

Oh November, look at you jumping right out at us! I don’t know about you, but given the current roller coaster of live, I decide to take a look at how I’m doing with “the basics” in my life. For me, the habits that I feel are solid, can sometimes slip a bit without me […]
