Spring training is back and it’s definitely taking<br />
over the Valley once again. The town is full of<br />
energy – and people (seriously, have you tried to<br />
get a restaurant reservation lately?)! Phoenicians<br />
and visitors alike are flocking to the 10 stadiums<br />
around town to see their favorite teams practice<br />
before the regular season begins. Beyond it being<br />
a day of fun in the sun, we have eight crazy facts<br />
about spring training (page 38) to check out<br />
before you head to a game!<br />
The weather at the games will be so beautiful,<br />
it might even inspire you to go on a walk. We’ve rounded up some<br />
necessities for spring strolls (page 36), whether you’re headed out<br />
for leisure or to break a sweat – although that may happen either<br />
way with the rising temps we’re seeing this month! For those really<br />
looking to get their fitness on, page 26 showcases a workout featuring<br />
barbells to get in “spring break” shape.<br />
Along with vacation and relaxation, the nicer weather, aka<br />
bathing suit season, can also bring along some feelings of doubt.<br />
Enter: the comparison trap. If you’re looking to get out of your head<br />
and bring the focus back to No. 1 (that’s you!), flip to page 28 for<br />
tips to avoid the trap. And while you’re working within, page 46<br />
shares helpful ways to just say “no” if you’re a people pleaser trying<br />
to change your ways.<br />
We also spoke to Jenna Homsey, who is on our cover this month.<br />
Beginning on page 40, the owner of GoFigure Training is talking<br />
about her fitness beginnings, journey to the bodybuilding stage, and<br />
her focus on helping people get strong from the inside out.<br />
If you’re worried about staying healthy during flu and cold<br />
season, check out page 20 for dishes at local restaurants featuring<br />
immunity-boosting ingredients and page 16, which has tips to make<br />
the most out of your REM Cycle while getting some rest. Or, if<br />
you’ve already caught something, we’ve got some sick day skin care<br />
tips to cover up that cold (page 48).<br />
Lastly, if you’ve seen the collagen craze in the nutrition world,<br />
page 30 has the lowdown before you jump on the bandwagon.<br />
Enjoy the beautiful weather and all that spring training has to<br />
offer this month!<br />
Best,<br />
