Yeah, we have a great community and you were saying I was doing my push ups and that's why you need a coach someone. Yeah. I mean, one of the biggest things is, is that, you know, people when they get into fitness, they might not know what to do. They go to a health club and no one shows them what to do and no one gives them a workout to do here. We do all that for you. Ok? And all you have to do is just play alone. And so what are they doing this morning? So, we have a dead lift workout. We have people doing hands, sand, push ups, we then have pull ups and rowing. We have, they're riding the bike too as well. So again, they get a little taste of everything. You know, it's all skill levels too. Right? Like beginners, obviously, like, absolutely. It doesn't matter what your skill level is. All right. You can be someone who's been doing fitness for a really long time or just getting started. Ok? And we accommodate everybody. Ok. And I want to show everyone at home the handstand push ups. I don't believe it. And you could do it. I've never seen, I've never heard anything like that. What is, it's like a skill that you just learned, you have to work really hard to be able to make it look that show us how it is. All right. Let's go. Let's go. This is for me. Right? 5:48 a.m. And that's to start your day. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. So how do people find you if they want to watch at home and they want to come? Yeah. So we're on all the social media platforms. Um You could get us through our website, the Garden State Athletics. That's really pretty much where we're at right now. Thanks for having us here this morning. Thank you. You too. Go do this.

All right, Friday means it's time for main street, New Jersey when we highlight some great local businesses. And this morning our Lauren de in Roselle Park. Lauren, she already worked out. She had some food to eat. Yeah. Why don't we do some shopping? Lauren? I mean, why don't we, we have to do some shopping. We're on Chestnut Street right in the middle of Roselle Park and we have Jennifer, the owner here. You just moved into Jess Jubilant, this location, correct? A month ago, a month ago. Yes. But you've been around John for about two years now for almost two years. Yes, we've been in town. So we're your local greeting card store and more we like to say some have compared us to if Spencer's and Hallmark had a baby. Um but um we're local, we live here in town and we wanted to bring something to our community that we haven't had here in a while. So I've been in the industry for over 13 years and decided, you know what? It's time to open my own greeting card and gift store in my own backyard and share all this with us because I would never think to put any of this stuff together in one store. Yes. So it is a collaboration of all the things that we love. Um So we carry gifts for everybody. We've got great gifts for men, believe it or not, our best selling item in our store is our men's squatch. So it's all, it's all natural men love it and they keep on asking us to expand our lines. So we do. Um, but we've also got a few, um, party goods that we carry. We've got gifts for kids and we've got stationary and journals, all that good stuff. But one of our things that we're most proud of that we carry here in our store is our greeting cards. We've got a lot of great greeting cards. They're not your everyday greeting cards that you find at a lot of stores. A lot of our greeting cards are from smaller independent women own or minority owned business. This is so, um, it's always nice to have people come in and take a look at the cards and hear the chuckles and find out which one that they're connecting with and which ones they're gonna end up, uh, buying. And it was the first thing we did too. Exactly. People are drawn. It's a lot of bright colors and there's a lot of great cars. I'm gonna pick the feel better ones. This one, some of them are appropriate though. We're gonna have this one though, feel better. So I used up a lot of time. Gabby, the producer was rapping me like 10 minutes ago to back to you. We're in Roselle Park.
