Absolute Best 90 Day Challenge Day 6

We are closing in on the 1st week of our 90 Day Challenge!  Have you declared your goal, found an accountability partner, and started journaling?  If so, you are on track for great success.  If not, please don't hesitate to call us or send us a comment, we are here to help you "bridge the gap between you and your personal best."

Rewarding yourself is a key element to your success.  Why do you work hard, save, exercise and eat healthy?  You love rewards!  Success equals a life well lived and acknowledging your wins with rewards is an integral part of staying the course.

Have you chosen a reward yet.  We want you to meditate on it tonight, and tomorrow, gift yourself whatever you desire.  Are you going to get a massage, take the day off from your exercise regimen, relax in a hot bubble bath, go to the beach, binge watch a TV series, or just sit and meditate all day long.  Whatever your desire, take your reward!

"There is more time than life" is one of my favorite Costa Rican sayings.  It means that today is the best day to do that thing you've always wanted to do.  Time flies by too quickly not to fulfill your dreams.  The only moment that counts is this one; make it memorable.

The best way to achieve your weight-loss and fitness goals is to follow our meal plan in concert with our exercise programs.  A big part of this program encourages you to log your meals and journal the emotional sensations you feel throughout the 90 day challenge.  These journals will memorialize and reveal patterns in your behaviors.  They will enable you to bring closure to the negative activities which no longer serve you and make space for the healthier, more positive habits which will inherit their place.  The more days you put together full of healthy choices, the more you elevate yourself to a higher consciousness.  The end game is to create a habit of making good choices for yourself.

We understand that life gets in the way, "the road to hell was paved with good intentions."  How many times have you imploded when you were on track to your goals?  Many.

The great reality is that tomorrow the sun will rise again and you will have another chance to begin your life anew.  You will have the power to rewrite your future and begin living the purest version of yourself.

How wonderful to know that you are not stuck in one place, that there is a way to change your approach and that you are in charge of how and when these changes will take place.  At the end of the day, it is all about empowering yourself by revealing who you truly are to the world.  

How do you want to live your life?  Happy, healthy and free, or stuck, depressed and sick?  Seeing it put this way, the answer is clear.

Let us help you optimize the health of your body, mind, and spirit.  Absolute Best has been part of the San Pedro wellness community for the last 10 years.  We are a boutique wellness clinic offering massage, fitness, chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy and Mambo Mania fitness classes.

Currently, we are offering a special 3 months rate for fitness classes, provide great trainers who whip you into shape, and offer soothing massages with the best therapists in town.  Our chiropractic, acupuncture and physical therapy treatments are administered by the most gifted doctors and specialists in the area.  And our own Haley-Clark Dance Company has a great kid's program.

It doesn't get much better than this.  The town of San Pedro is truly coming up and we are glad to be a part of the movement.

Absolute Best!

Absolute Best 90 Day Challenge Day 5

Hip Flexor Extended Stretch

I actually like the fact that we started this challenge on the first day of the month because it makes it easy to keep track of how many days we have been on our journey.

I promise I know more exercises than just hip flexor exercises.  There are several ways in which you can stretch and flex your quads and hip flexors so we decided to give you a few options.

Congratulations to Mickey Rhyne, she has stayed the course on this Absolute Best Challenge and today she and I had a consultation about the meal plan and her "base line" measurements.  I encourage all of you to set up a private session with me so I can answer your questions, whatever they might be.  I may not have all the answers but I will surely do my best to guide you through your journey and help you find solutions.

I encourage all of you committed to this challenge to set up an appointment with me to strategize and measure you progress so far.  Recording your base line measurements; where you are today, and then comparing them to where you end up in 90 days will change the way you see yourself forever.

This commitment is to yourself and no one else.  Your accountability partner has no control over your behaviors, they can give you feedback and encouragement but you are the only one who can get the results.  Conversely, you are their support when they need you to keep them on track.

This is a long game - I've said that before.  You just have to put one foot in front of the other and keep plugging away at your "declared" goals.  You must vocalize your intent to empower its realization.

If you want to get somewhere in life, its nice to have a road map.  Follow us, we are here to bridge the gap between you and your personal best.  

Looking forward to a personal consultation with you.  Set up an appointment today.

Peace, love, namaste,
Clarita Bassett, President, Absolute Best

Absolute Best 90 Day Challenge Day 4

This hip flexor stretch will help sooth sore muscles in your front thigh.  If you have restarted an exercise program after a long hiatus, this is one of the most common areas for delayed muscle soreness.

I hope you have all at least "declared" your goal.

Mine is daily writing and meditation.

Tonight I'm running off to go see "An American in Paris" and so this will be short and sweet.

Get busy if you haven't started the challenge, keep it up if you have.

I'll write more tomorrow.

Peace, love, namaste.
Clarita, President, Absolute Best.

Absolute Best 90 Day Challenge Day 3

We hope you are settling into our challenge and are approaching your health and wellness program with a positive and grateful attitude.  It's day 3 and this is a "long game" so if your start was a bit shaky, don't worry.  You have plenty of time to get your footing and join us on the journey.

We are committed to your wellness by optimizing the health of your body, mind and spirit...and with these challenges, teach you to make the best choices on a daily basis.  This requires commitment, adherence and accountability.  A famous guru once said, if you live your life with "integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enrichment," you will elevate your health and wellness to their highest potential.

Integrity, a state of being whole.  This challenge sets the expectation that you are serious, you have declared your goal, sought out your accountability partner and have taken measures to activate your commitment.

Authenticity, being genuine.  You have to be true to yourself; to your heart's needs and desires, then, act in congruence with who you are.  This is YOUR life; it is meant to be lived through the deepest sense of your SELF.   Those who love and appreciate you will support you, so, surround yourself with people who lift you up. Stay away from those who shut you down.  Be in alignment with your heart and mind and your body will follow.

Responsibility, response-ability - you have the ability to respond to the people around you as well as your environment.  Choose who and where you spend your time and energy responsibly.  If you feel elevated, inspired, courageous and loved, you will be empowered.  If you feel stressed, angry, frustrated and worthless, you will feel sucked into a vortex that will keep you stuck for a very long time.  

Enrichment, to enhance the quality of something...when you begin learning how your body works, which exercises best suit your needs, how nutrients synthesis to produce peak performance, and which mindful exercises create peace and equilibrium within, you enrich your life.

You can complete this journey if you make the commitment, keep it together for the long haul, trust yourself, and take responsibility for becoming your "best" self.  You are here to move towards your highest ideals and goals.  We are here to help you so, let's get the job done.

Give us a call today.  Absolute Best in San Pedro.  (310) 548-5984

Love, peace, namaste,

Absolute Best 90 Day Challenge Day 2

Yesterday was the first day of our 90 Challenge.  Day two is here and so is another opportunity to live a healthier, happier life.  Choosing to commit to one thing that will enhance and create a healthier self is empowering.  So if you haven't already, "declare" a goal.  Pick something, it can be anything at all, but choose.  You may decide you want to eat healthier, give up coffee or sugar, or, you may want to incorporate a regular exercise program into your life.  Whatever the choice, "declare it" and stick to your commitment for 90 days.  

If 90 days seems overwhelming, you can break it up into 30 day chucks.  Lois Thornburg is helping folks with her "Give Me 5" 30 Day Challenge, which lines up nicely with our 90 Day Challenge. She's helping folks lose 5 pounds in 30 days.  (Committing to that for 3 consecutive months will help you reach your 90 Day goal.)

Always seek an accountability partner when committing to these challenges.  It is very difficult to go at it alone in the world.  Support from others will strengthen your resolve and hold you accountable to your own declaration.  We came into this world alone, and we will leave it alone, but while we are here, we live as part of a community.  I have facilitated many "challenges" and their success hinges on accountability.  Support from others is key to helping you reach your goal.  

Our minds and bodies are intrinsically connected.  Self improvement is enhanced when we become aware of our mental and physical states of being.  Take the time to examine yourself; how do you look and feel, how are you managing your health, can you identify the triggers that derail you from maintaining a healthy lifestyle?  A great tool for discovering who you truly are, what you want and how you plan to achieve your desired goals is to journal.  One of my goals for this Challenge is to write daily.  

The best part of these challenges is that everyday is a journey.  We are all progressing through life one day at a time and everyday is a new opportunity to begin anew.  Reward yourself for being on the path to self-improvement and better health.  Take yourself to lunch, go get a massage, pamper yourself and live today as like you have won the brass ring.  Acknowledge your successes, accept complements and see the glass half full.

Absolute Best is committed to your wellness by optimizing the health of your body, mind and spirit, together - all in one convenient location.  We are in the Personal Best Building between Grand and Gaffy on on 6th Street, San Pedro, CA.  Stop in anytime and see us.

Check out our schedule of classes and our website. Go ahead and sign up for the Challenge, it's not too late.  All are welcome.  

Until tomorrow, have a great day and know that we are here to help you "bridge the gap between you and your personal best!"

Absolute Best 90 Day Challenge

It's April 1st, April Fool's Day!  However, our challenge is very real and not a foolish notion.  We are committed to helping you reach your health and fitness goals.  These challenges have proven to be great motivators for many of our Absolute Best members and patients.

Lois Thornburg, is taking her followers through a "Give Me 5" 30 Day Challenge...Lose 5 pounds in 30 days.  If you do this in conjunction with our 90 day challenge, you will potentially loose 15 pounds in 90 days!!  

We know that a 90 Day Challenge will not be easy, however, you will feel a sense of accomplishment once it's done.  We always encourage our challengers to pick something in their lives to work on.  I'm going to meditate and write everyday for 90 Days.  What are you going to do?  Do you want to loose weight?  Eat right?  Not gossip?


Whatever you decide, pick something; one thing in your life that you are willing to commit to for 90 days and see if your world begins to change along with you.  Chances are, you will have a different perspective about yourself, your relationships and your environment at the end of this challenge.

We will support one another by finding accountability partners, following Clarita's meal plan; if weight-loss is your goal, and taking Mambo Mania and other fitness classes. Additionally, caring for your body's aches and pains will feel soothing and comforting when getting massages, physical therapy, chiropractic and acupuncture treatments.

We have one body; the only vehicle that will carry us through the course of our lives. Making a commitment to care for it in a genuine manner will guarantee rich experiences throughout our lifetime.

I'm a 60 year old grandmother and plan to continue living the rest of my life looking and feeling healthy.  I want to be able to play with my grand kids, take hard-core dance classes, enjoy eco-adventures like white water rafting, zip-lining, hiking, diving into swimming holes from tops of waterfalls and other exhilarating activities.  One needs a healthy, strong and durable body to achieve these things.  Age is not a deterrent, however, an unfit body, mind, and spirit are.

That's why at Absolute Best, we design our programs to develop the "whole" of who you are...body, mind and spirit.  Come join us.

I know you been debating about how and when to start or restart your exercise program.  Do something positive for yourself today, why not sign up for this?  We will guide you through it all.

Click here and take the challenge today.


See you soon!
