It’s America Saves Week and you might be wondering why Run Local is talking about finances on Run Local Wednesday. Well, for starters we’ve partnered with San José based Excite Credit Union. Since joining our community as the presenting sponsor of the Silicon Valley Half, they’ve helped us contribute more than $30,000 to the Silicon Valley Education Foundation (SVEF). Amazing. We encourage you to check out their banking and financial services, which are equally amazing.
Today on @RunLocalEvents IGTV, we’re joined by Run Local Ambassador Neeraj Mathur, founder/CEO of an early-stage fintech stealth startup helping people save and manage their healthcare expenses, to discuss the intersection between physical and financial health. We’ve also penned a resource article on this topic to check out. Before this, Neeraj was the VP of Products at ForUsAll, a 401k focused fintech company, but more importantly, a human that has experienced how running can change one’s life in profound ways.
👇 Also in today’s Run Local Wednesday Lori @ California Elite Fitness takes you through functional strength training and we provide a couple of interesting stories to enjoy.

Functional Strength Training is a popular fitness term these days, but there are a number of ways it is described. We see it as taking three specific forms:
At California Elite Fitness, we use the term functional training as a way to develop routines and exercises that keep as many of the 604 skeletal muscles in your body functioning at the highest level. When performing broad-based functional training in an integrative manner, you will increase strength, mobility, and efficient function of the cardiovascular system. Exercises designed into workouts should be complex, multifunctional movements that recruit as many muscles as possible in each move. This style of activity decreases the breakdown of muscle tissue, increasing strength and flexibility. The goal of every workout is to train your body, not only for improvement in sports but to feel great each day while performing the activities of daily living.
