    5 Tips for More Confidence in the Gym

    January 3, 2021 /

    I definitely know what it feels like to feel a little nervous or out of place at the gym. The first time, the first several times actually, I walked into a gym I felt so insecure. I’m a shy person at heart and thought that everyone was going to judge me for clearly being the newbie at the gym. I wore baggy clothes (which is totally fine btw but I did it to hide) and would go to some corner to workout alone. ⠀⠀ Then I realized that I wasn’t here for other people. I was here for ME and my health progress. It didn’t matter what anyone else thought.…

    When to Take a Rest Day from Working Out

    October 15, 2020 /

    Confused when to take a rest day from working out? Rest days are a critical part of any workout plan or routine, but sometimes it can be hard to know when you should actually rest or maybe you feel guilty for doing so. (Please don’t!)  Raise your hand if you’ve ever had these questions about taking a rest day:  Why are rest days so important? How often should I take a rest day?  What factors should determine when I take a rest day?  What should I do (or not do) on my rest days? When to take a rest day or how much to rest will differ for each person.…

    Terra Glide Review & A Fun Workout To Try!

    September 28, 2020 /

    Finding at home workout equipment you love and don’t get bored with can be tricky, especially in 2020.  For me I like to find equipment that won’t take up too much room and gives me plenty of options for workouts and staying strong at home.  That’s why the new Terra Glide is so ideal for at-home workouts and keeping it interesting! I’m super skeptical when it comes to trendy workout equipment, but after trying the Terra Glide out for a couple days, I knew it was going to be a staple for my home gym.  What is the Terra Glide? The Terra Glide is similar to a Bosu ball in…

    Simple Tips to Create Your Own At Home Workout Routine

    May 27, 2020 /

    One of my main goals as a health and fitness expert is to educate busy working women so they can make the best decisions for themselves rather than be constantly told what to do. That includes figuring out an at home workout routine! Of course, there’s nothing wrong with following a guided program from a certified personal trainer or getting one on one training. These are AWESOME tools that can help you with your fitness learning and I encourage it.  However, not everyone has access to these programs or coaches. I hope these simple tips will help you feel empowered to take more control of your fitness at home or at…

    My Favorite At Home Workout Equipment For A Well Rounded Home Gym

    March 20, 2020 /

    I’ve always dreamed about having the perfect home gym with ALL the at home workout equipment. No more having to wait around for squat racks at the gym, no more smelly sweaty workout benches. Just my own little workout haven! Although my current little home gym is far from what I hope it could be some day, it does the job well. Currently, I have a punching bag that was already there when we moved in, some free weights, a medicine ball, stability ball, a Terra Core, some bands, a suspension trainer, and a pull-up bar. These items don’t take up too much space but allow me to a have a…

Thoughts going into the new year 👉🏼 Stop pla Thoughts going into the new year 👉🏼 Stop playing the victim. ❌ ( I actually shared this last year, but I feel so strongly about it I think it’s worth sharing again.) 
⠀⠀
Life is full of ups and downs, some because life is just that way and sometimes because of the choices you make. You can choose to be angry, shift blame, & negative or you can work hard, do you best, and stay positive. 😊
⠀⠀
Because guess what? You get to choose your attitude every day. You get to decide how your life goes. If you don’t like something? Change it. Can’t control certain things? Don’t fixate on it. Focus on the good and the good gets better. 👊🏼

Have a great week friends! ⠀⠀

Do you still workout with a calorie goal in mind? Do you still workout with a calorie goal in mind? 🔥 ⠀⠀
⁣
Here’s a tip, maybe instead of worrying about how many calories you burn in a workout focus on a performance goal instead. 💪🏼 It could be lifting a little bit heavier than last time or getting deeper in that squat. Maybe it’s trimming down your 5k time or finally getting that perfect pull up. 🙌🏻
⠀⠀
Burning calories is great, but you’ll really see improvements and feel like an athlete when you focus on something specific rather than just an estimated calorie burn. 👍
⠀⠀
Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend! 😘

Give them some love with these stretches! I love to do these after a workout or when they need some extra help.

Although you don’t want to overstretch these muscles, regularly giving them some attention with thoughtful stretches or mobility work can help them loosen up and feel less tight or sore.

Hold each for 30-60 seconds.

Pro tip: try doing it while you watch a show or make it a more relaxing experience with your favorite music and essential oils!

How to stay healthy when you have a desk job 💻 How to stay healthy when you have a desk job 💻
⁣
Have a desk job? Spend quite a bit of time sitting for work? I’m right there with ya! 
⁣
Working full time and prioritizing health  can be tricky. Here are some of my tips that help me balance it all and keep my health a priority 👇🏼
⁣
1. Focus on your nutrition. It’s the one thing that almost always you can control IF you give it some thought. Stick to the basics like getting veggies and limiting your processed food intake and you’ll be golden. 
⁣
2. Use your lunch break wisely. I like to use my lunch break to get in some movement (even if it’s just a short walk) and/or make a nutritious meal. Meditation or getting some fresh air is also a good idea! 
⁣
3. Stand for a few minutes every hour. If you have a standing desk, use it! Or just get up, stretch, and try working standing up every now and then. 
⁣
4. Drink that H20. You’ll keep your energy up, and have to pee more which means you’ll have to take a break from sitting more 😘
⁣
5. Try adding strength training to your routine. It suuuuper sucks but as we age we lose muscle mass IF we don’t do anything about it. You can combat extra muscle loss and bad desk posture with strength training. Muscle = youth ✨

No matter the road ahead, remember you’ve surviv No matter the road ahead, remember you’ve survived everything life has thrown at you so far. 💪🏼
⁣
I’ve leaned this year there’s a lot of things I can’t control and that’s been frustrating. Sometimes I felt so helpless this past year watching things unfold. 
⁣
But, I also leaned that it’s not always our job to fix the worlds problems but to just focus on our own little sphere and what we can control and who we can help. 
⁣
✨I have power over my health & well-being.
✨I have power over my attitude & faith.
✨I have power to help & love those close to me.
⁣
I hope you all have a safe and happy new year and that 2021 brings you joy! 💙 What are you doing to ring in the new year?
