The Ad Astra Endurance Project

What’s with the name?  
Ad Astra is Latin for “to the stars”. We want to help people achieve their fitness and wellness goals and experience the amazing effects that happen when we know that we are more limited by our minds than our bodies.

What’s up with the Latin?  
Truth be told… we’re geeks. We felt that using the Latin phrase communicated that we are committed to using data and current science to help our clients achieve their goals. If it doesn’t jive with you, don’t hold it against us.

What can I expect from an Ad Astra coach?  
No matter what your fitness or wellness goal, we have a working philosophy that guides our committment to you. We call it SMART Wellness Coaching™.

  • Story We always strive to understand the client story. We feel it’s important to understand your history, where you started, and your journey to better fitness and wellness.
    Measure Remember… we’re into data. We want to measure anything we can to help our clients acheive their best outcome.
    Assess All that data we want to collect… we’re into analyzing it too.
    Review After we gather and assess your data, we review it. This review (with the client) helps us tweak your personal path.
    Train This is where you come in. Go capture your dreams!

I’ve actually read all of this and I’m interested in becoming part of the Ad Astra family. How do I get started?
YES! We are excited to work with you. Email Coach Matt or Coach Tracy directly or fill out our Get Started form.

Easy Protein Pancakes

easy protein pancakesThis is one of my pre and post workout favorites! They are so easy to make and they keep well in an air tight container in the refrigerator – grab for some quick calories before an early morning workout or top with greek yogurt (not for vegans!) for an extra protein kick after a workout. I always make these once bananas start to get too ripe for my husband to eat (he likes them green). In the fall I like to substitute the banana for 1 cup of pumpkin plus 2 dates. So let’s get to it!


Ingredients (8 servings)
1 medium ripe banana
2 eggs
0.5 cups egg whites
1.5 scoops protein powder (I use Show Me the Whey Vanilla)
1 cup oats
Cinnamon, Vanilla (optional)
Greek yogurt (optional topping)


Instructions
Blend banana and eggs in a food processor. Add oats and optionally cinnamon and vanilla. Add a pat of coconut oil to a non stick pan over medium heat. Use 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Pancakes will start to bubble when they are ready to turn. Enjoy!
