    Balance Building Yoga Workout

    April 6, 2019 /

    Balance is a key component of any well-balanced fitness routine. Having balance and stability is SO important for proper movement and can help with injury prevention. Check out my Instagram post below for some of my favorite moves to help improve balance and core stability! I’m no pro yogi, I’m still practicing, but I LOVE challenging my body to see what it can do. With this yoga workout, start slow and find your breath. It helps to focus on one point on the ground or wall. And don’t forget to just have fun with it! Balance and stability are SO crucial but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. If…

    15 Simple Ways to Move More and Sit Less

    March 22, 2019 /

    If you want to eliminate a risk factor for chronic disease, feel better, have more energy, and look better, then sitting all day long is NOT an option. Unfortunately for those of us with desk jobs, getting our movement in during the day can be a serious struggle. You don’t have to totally give up and be discouraged though. There are small and simple ways to still get in movement during the day, no matter how busy you are! I mean if busy CPAs, who are quite literally chained to their desks working 15 hour days this time of year, can get up and move, so you can you. (I…

    5 Proven Ways To Get Motivated And Reach Your Goals

    January 7, 2019 /

    Wondering how to get motivated and actually reach your goals? Keep reading! Less than 10% of American’s will follow through with their New Year resolutions. It’s a sad but true fact. According to StatisticBrain.com, losing weight is the number one goal set by American’s in 2015.  Sadly, only 8% of Americans followed through with their resolution. Too often sleeping in wins over working out. Pizza beats salad. Netflix overcomes any desire to go to bed at a reasonable hour. What’s the problem? Why can’t we follow through with our goals? Why can’t we choose what’s good for us more often? Well, besides good ol fashioned discipline, I blame motivation. If we…

    What to Do if You Feel Stuck in a Fitness Rut

    September 29, 2018 /

    Feeling a little stuck in a fitness rut lately? Maybe any progress you were working towards has stalled, your motivation is lacking, or you’ve been having a hard time staying on track with your meals and workouts lately. First of all, that’s totally normal! We are all imperfect people and sometimes life just gets in the way of our health and fitness goals no matter how important it is to us. But that doesn’t mean you should just give up altogether. Consistency and trying over and over is key when it comes to building long-lasting habits and lifestyle changes.

    My Top Tips for Training for a Half Marathon (or Any Race!)

    Interested in training for a half marathon? Or maybe just a 5k? Awesome! Running is one of my favorite ways to stay fit and healthy. It’s what got me into fitness nearly 11 years ago and led me to where I am today. Needless to say, running will always have a special place in my heart! In the past 11 years, I’ve run four Ragnars, dozens of 5ks, a few 10ks, and two half marathons. I have trained specifically for each and every one of my races. I would consider myself an authority on the subject but I AM NOT A RUNNING COACH. These are my best tips that have…

    Simple Shoulder Sculpting Workout

    March 24, 2018 /

    One of my favorite muscle groups to work is my shoulders. Afterall, it’s the three main shoulder muscles (the rear, medial, and anterior deltoids) that give your arms that fit, sculpted look.  Here are some of my favorite shoulder exercises that work all three deltoid muscles to help you build beautiful shoulders! Feel free to include these exercises as one complete workout (try repeating 3-5 times) or throw them into your own workout.  Just remember, your shoulders are easily injured. So ALWAYS include a proper warm up and cool down before any shoulder work. I’ve injured my left shoulder twice because I was in too much of a hurry and didn’t do…

Stop trying to change all your bad habits at once Stop trying to change all your bad habits at once 🤚🏼

One of the biggest reasons why people fail at creating a healthier lifestyle is they try to do too much too soon. 

Although an “all in” mentality isn’t bad, that doesn’t mean you need to do it all TODAY and expect to be a new person by tomorrow. 

Start with the small things! Aim to move your body daily, it can be as simple as going out for a walk. Swap soda for water. Add in some veggies to your meals. 

It really is the small things that add up! What is ONE small thing you can work on this week?

#sponsored Eating a healthy lunch is probably my biggest hurl when it comes to nutrition simply because of lack of time. That’s why I’m SO grateful for @mightymacrosusa for making it so easy and quick! I can just grab a meal and heat it up in the microwave or oven. I’ve been enjoying them off and on since the summer and even Jonny loves them! 😋

I know it’s filled with quality ingredients and real food and I can see how much protein i’m getting right off the bat. I don’t track my macros, but I do like to have a rough idea of how much protein i’m getting.

I’ve tried the sculpt and perform plans and both taste amazing. Sculpt has fewer carbs and more veggies, Perform includes more healthy sources of carbs if you need that extra energy.

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! 😘
