The World's Coolest Sport
Sports are a big part of life. With football season just ending and track season starting soon. But there’s one summer sport that has been growing in recent years. It is also arguably one of the most amazing sports ever created. It’s called Kitesurfing and it mixes surfing with hang gliding to create some astonishingly-high air. Check out these kitesurfers in action! #Flex5
Being Good To Yourself
There's a saying that goes 'You're your own worst enemy'. In many ways it's true. Nobody knows you better and has higher expectations for you than yourself. Because of that, we are often too critical of our actions, shortcomings, and mistakes. It's important to recognize those times and give yourself the same compassion you would give to others. #BeTheChange #Flex5
Teenagers React To Being Called Beautiful
Open your eyes to the beauty around you!
As a society we tend to impose unrealistic expectations of what true beauty means, especially on kids and teenagers, setting them to feel inadequate, unappreciated and always feeling inferior to those who are considered “prettier” by society standards.
Beauty has no gender, color, sexuality, age or societal standards and is present anywhere you go and in everything that surrounds you. It doesn’t cost us anything to give a compliment and call someone beautiful, yet it makes a massive difference to that person’s self-esteem and this video could not have captured the rawness of beauty and what it truly means to someone.
Be generous, be kind and genuine in complimenting others and #BeTheChange, as one little word can often make or break someone’s life for years to come.
PS. I dare you to look in the mirror tonight and say “You are beautiful”

How Lean is your Pumpkin Latte?
This season from kale chips to lattes, pumpkin-spice-flavored treats are a dime a dozen. However, despite their flavoring, one would be surprised to find out that many products do not contain pumpkin at all. Pumpkin is rich in fiber, magnesium, manganese and copper. Here at #Flex5 we believe it is essential to create nutrition plans for our clients to not only look good, but feel good. #BeTheChange #FoodIsFuel #Whole9
The Painful Truth Behind Painkillers
Not all painkillers are created equal. Below is a great infographic from Dr Mercola around NSAIDS usage and how it impacts your body.
