The Hansen Family

Relationships. Community. Family. What do those words mean to you? On a scale of 1-10 how would you score your relationships with your family, your community, those you surround yourself with? More importantly, how would you score the relationship with yourself? So often I find myself questioning, am I good enough at this task, could I do better, am I working hard enough to strive for excellence every day? It can feel overwhelming at times. There is so much to get done, at work, at home, with family. That balance is like a seesaw. But when you surround yourself with a community of people to have deep conversations and build relationships with it is then that you see your true worth. Through the support you offer to them or the support they offer you. Just time spent with one another can be enough. Take the time to enjoy those around you. Smile. Be present. Listen.

Hi Friend - follow me on Instagram: @reneekhansen Gut Health A buzz word? A popular fad? What does gut health mean to you? I’ve been listening to podcasts, reading books and educating myself on gut health for almost two years. And NOT because it’s a “fad.” But because gut health relates to other health issues. Like fatigue, brain fog, better sleep, helps with inflammation and more. Especially if you suffer from any kind of intestinal pain or 💩 problems. It’s your gut you need to heal. Two years ago I went to the doctor for some issues and they wanted to run test after test, put me on medication, etc. that’s when I started researching. Thats when  @chalenejohnson  started to talk about it more too! I’ve had one doctor. ONE. Who brought up the term gut health to me, without my prompting, and finally it started to click. I’m beyond excited to start this book, read about her research and science based facts, and find what works for ME.  #131method   #131methodboo...

All of my 20+ years of fitness preparation has lead to this moment.  Two years ago I taught my first fitness class. Never had I taken a spin class nor had I exercised on a stationary bike.  But over the course of two years I have redefined the term comfort zone. Breaking barriers on the bike, in life. Campus Cycle i s more than a spin studio. It’s a place that gives me a platform to share, motivate, elevate, and inspire others to take a leap, try something new and grow.  I’ve gained new friends because the people behind the studio, the owners, coaches, interns and of course the riders make this place what it is. It is more than a spin studio, much more. Come and see for yourself, you might redefine your comfort zone too.

What is holding you back? Get started and do it already! Get started and do it already! I was debating whether I should go live here or not, because it’s scary. I’m talking to my phone held out in front of me along the riverwalk and people are walking by. I thought, you know what? This prevents people too front getting started; they just have fear and a bunch of negative self-talk going through their heads. I thought okay, if I’m going to tell people to start getting started with things and they might be afraid of it, why don’t I just go ahead and do this. There may be people walking by looking at me funny because I’m holding my phone out in front of me literally on the riverwalk that is open to the public where people are walking by. Sometimes we just need to get started and that’s the hardest thing for some people. It’s hard for me to push LIVE, it’s hard to push the button to go live and start talking to you. Sometimes you just have to do it and f...

Put doubts aside. Stop questioning everything you are doing and keep moving forward. Are you a doubter? Do you doubt everything? do you doubt everybody? Do you doubt that I’m speaking to you about some inpriations goals and needs and information? Do you always doubt people? Do you doubt yourself? I’m not talking about being pessimistic. I’ll tell you today, I was working on projects and I doubted that I could get them finished. It was hard to move forward because I was working on something that was tedious, and I didn’t want keep continuing I wanted to quit. I was doubting myself that I could actually finish. I feel some people grow up that way, that parents don’t think that their child isn’t going to complete something so the parent will do it for them. They are doubting the fact that their child or themselves can actually complete something or do it or finish it. So are you a doubter? Do you doubt other people? Do you think you can’t complete some...

I'm Renee Hansen, I'm a wife, a mom of 3 kids with very busy full-throttle schedules, i work full-time outside the home and I hvae very little time to myself and I have figured out some ways to help organize my schedule. What would you tell yourself that you know now, that you wish you knew then? Fitness & Nutrition: I would tell myself first to focus on your fitness. Keep it up, you love it, it helps your stress. But, when you turn 32 and 37 you are going to need to focus on your nutrition. People keep telling you about nutrition and you wish you wouldn't have known more about nutrition when you were having some stomach problems.
