if you're local to the Bay Area or in town next week, you won't to miss our upcoming in-person Meal Prep Master Class at 6:00 p.m. on June 23rd in Novato, CA!

We will guide you through every step on exactly how to batch cook by macronutrient so you understand how to prepare an entire week's worth of delicious, balanced, nutritious meals, whether you're cooking for one or have a household to feed.

After our hands-on cooking tutorial, we'll enjoy the family-style dinner that we prepared together + share our e-book with meal plan and shopping list templates.

Space is limited to the first 20 people who RSVP. Please click the purchase button below to save your spot!

For those who are new to understanding macronutrients (proteins, carbs, fats), cooking in general, or creating satiating meals that keep your blood sugar stable, this in-person master class will be incredibly beneficial.

One of our Green Door Life coaches is graciously hosting this event at her beautiful home in Novato, CA. The exact location and address will be emailed to you after purchase.

(If you're a current Green Door Life member, check our WhatsApp thread and/or FB for a discount code!)

Feel free to share this RSVP page for either event with your friends, family, colleagues, and whoever else might be interested in meeting The Green Door Life founders and community!

Question of the Week:

"My knees hurt when I squat. What am I doing wrong with my form?" 

While there are many factors contributing to knee pain while squatting and performing other movements, some of the common causes we see are from:

• under-exercising (lack of movement, not enough walking, muscle atrophy, sarcopenia, etc.)
• over-exercising (repeated stress on the knees from intense training modalities like running)
• increasing weights too quickly without sufficiently developed quad muscles to support the load
• insufficient mobility warm-up and working sets that ramp up to heavier weight
• under active glutes from excessive sitting

One of our favorite ways to practice squatting with proper form is front loading the weight in the goblet squat.

If you've been following us for a while, you know that we're sticklers for proper form while lifting weights.

Why? Because mastering movement patterns with bodyweight only first before adding load is a great way to avoid potential injury. And we intend to be moving well into old age!

Proper form also makes a difference when it comes to efficiently developing muscle mass vs. going through the motions as quickly as possible without actually engaging the muscles intended to be trained.

This ensures that you're getting the biggest return on your investment of spending valuable time doing each workout.

If you'd like more support with practicing proper movement patterns, subscribe to our Youtube channel where you'll find 100's and 100's of exercise video tutorials.

We look forward to seeing some of you next week in person and at future community events in the Fall!
