Let’s talk self care: What are the things you do for yourself every day? When you wake up: Do you spend 5-minutes breathing & being grateful? Or do you go straight to your phone? When eating, do you: Prioritize healthy food you make with love? Or do you grab something on the go? When it comes to exercise, do you: Set aside time to move? Get away for a walk? Or do you just quickly squeeze something in between everything else you’re doing? There’s no judgement here. I’ve done every single one of these things. When reading through though, which…

Mondays have been my “Swing & Getup Day” for a while now. Bringing running back into my routine (most often on Sundays), my Monday swings and getups have been light and feel more like a recovery/rest day than a strength day.

Leave your guilt at the door. There are so many good reasons you have not been doing the workouts you want to do & planned on doing. They’re not excuses.

Every trainer or coach is different and every client or student has different needs. Make sure you ask questions and get answers so you can make informed decisions. Some FAQ & suggestions regarding my online programs: I know I need to strength train, but I only seem to be getting walks in on a regular basis. How can online training help me?

This is why I strength train. So that I can do cool active $h!t, outside, that I’ve never tried before, at 42 years old. I know that if I didn’t have my strength base, I would not have felt confident trying Nordic skiing for the first time. Especially one month after meniscus surgery. But because of consistent strength training, my recovery has been great and I get to enjoy doing stuff like this. What a lovely afternoon I was able to enjoy with my @wfuniversity buddy @kellybradyhackett Even if strength training is boring & not your “thing”… 30-45min, 2-3 days/week, will allow you…
