Genetics influence our health, but they don’t determine the whole story. Things like heart disease or diabetes often run in families, but the way those genes actually show up in your life depends heavily on your daily environment. That’s where lifestyle comes in.

Nutrition, strength training, regular movement, lower stress, better sleep, and even social support can change how genes are expressed. This field is called epigenetics: basically how behaviour and environment influence biology.

You can’t change the genes you were born with, but you can influence how those genes behave. Someone with a family history of metabolic disease who lifts, eats well, and sleeps consistently will usually have a different outcome than someone with the same genes who doesn’t. It’s not about eliminating risk, but about reducing it and improving healthspan.

It’s more empowering to view genetics as a starting point, not a guarantee.

Happy new years from For the Love of Fitness!

New beginnings aren’t loud.
They don’t always come with motivation, clarity, or a sudden burst of discipline.

Sometimes a new beginning looks like:
• still feeling tired
• still carrying stress from last year
• wanting change but not knowing where to start
• doing the same things… just a little more consciously

January doesn’t erase what you’re dealing with. It just gives you a pause point.

You don’t need a full reset.
You don’t need to become a different person.
You don’t need perfect habits.

You need honesty.
You need patience.
You need one or two small choices that support the life you’re already living.

Progress often starts quietly — showing up imperfectly, adjusting as you go, and not quitting just because it feels messy.

New beginnings aren’t about becoming someone new.
They’re about treating yourself a little better than you did before.

And that’s enough to start.

Since so many people are fighting off viruses lately, here’s your reminder that getting back into exercise post viral infection isn’t about pushing through - it’s about rebuilding intelligently.

Your immune system already ran a marathon. Don’t make it do hill sprints the next day.

Start with breathing, core, and mobility. Viruses can disrupt coordination, spike fatigue, and even irritate rib or intercostal muscles. Gentle breathing drills, spinal mobility, and controlled core work help re-establish stability and calm the nervous system before intensity returns.

Stretch and mobilize before you load. Prioritize the thoracic spine, hips, shoulders, and ankles. You’re restoring range and tissue tolerance, not chasing a sweat.

When you lift, go lighter than you think you should. Reduce load, slow the tempo, and leave reps in reserve. Strength comes back quickly - setbacks come faster if you rush.

And yes, avoid cardio at first. Elevated heart rate layered on post-viral inflammation is a rough combo. Walking is fine. Structured cardio can wait until energy, sleep, and resting heart rate feel normal again.

The goal this week isn’t fitness.
It’s resilience.

Train like someone who wants to be consistent for years - not someone trying to “make up” missed workouts.

Most people don’t fail because they’re lazy.
They fail because their environment and psychology are working against them.

Behaviour change isn’t about motivation. Motivation is flaky.
It’s about systems.

Your brain is wired to:
• Choose what’s familiar
• Avoid discomfort
• Conserve energy
• Seek quick rewards

So when you rely on “I’ll try harder,” you’re fighting biology with vibes.

Real change happens when you:
• Make the good choice easier
• Make the bad choice harder
• Lower the barrier to starting
• Attach habits to existing routines
• Focus on identity, not outcomes

You don’t rise to the level of your goals.
You fall to the level of your defaults.

Want consistency?
Stop asking for more willpower.
Start designing better conditions.

That’s psychology.
And it works—whether you believe in it or not.

You can’t spot-reduce fat… and that’s actually freeing.

Somehow the fitness world convinced us that if we just trained one stubborn area hard enough, it would magically shrink.
Bodies don’t work like that. Fat loss is systemic. Your body decides where it lets go first and last—not your workout.

But here’s the part people miss:
You can change how an area feels, functions, and looks through strength. You just can’t force it to burn fat on command.

So instead of hammering one body part into exhaustion, try this:

• Train your whole body with intention—strength is the real sculptor.
• Move in ways that feel sustainable, not punishing.
• Build muscle everywhere, because muscle boosts metabolism and changes shape.
• Accept that your body has a blueprint… your job is to work with it, not against it.

Chasing spot-reduction keeps you stuck.
Chasing strength, consistency, and realistic expectations sets you free.

When you shift the goal from shrinking parts of your body to building your body, everything gets easier—and a lot more satisfying.

You don’t need motivation to move forward.
Most progress comes from the days you feel off but still choose one small thing: drink the water, eat a real meal, take the five-minute walk. Tiny actions compound fast.

Keep the wheels turning. Your future self will be glad you didn’t wait to “feel ready.”

Being sick feels like getting benched from your own life. My body is clearly telling me to slow down…but resting is a skill I swear I have not mastered. I’m bored, restless, and itching to move, yet every time I try to do “just a little,” my energy taps out like, sit down, Leah.

Here’s the nuance we forget: rest doesn’t have to mean melting into the couch for 48 hours straight. Gentle movement—stretching, a slow walk, anything that doesn’t spike your symptoms—can actually help you feel human again. It’s not about “pushing through”; it’s about supporting circulation, loosening up tension, and checking in with what your body can handle today.

Healing isn’t passive. It’s work your body is doing behind the scenes, and pushing too hard just drags out the process. So I’m letting myself be still when I need to…and moving lightly when it feels good.

If you’re sick too, you’re not lazy. You’re recovering. And sometimes the hardest workout is the one where you do just enough and then go back to bed.

Have you been sick this season?

Starting a workout at the gym sounds simple… until you remember the gauntlet you have to get through first and all the steps that can derail you from going:

Find gym clothes.
Pack a bag.
Charge headphones.
Check how busy it is.
Drive there.
Find parking.
Scan in.
Navigate crowds.
Wait for equipment.
Hope nobody’s staring.
Then start your workout.

Mobile personal training skips every single hurdle. No commute. No parking lot anxiety. No waiting, no guessing, no pressure. You open your door, we show up with the plan, the equipment, and a workout tailored to your actual life.

It’s efficient, comfortable, sustainable—and honestly, just smarter.

Let’s make your workouts the easiest part of your day.

Holiday season rolls in like a glitter-covered freight train. Suddenly there are expectations everywhere—perfect gifts, perfect dinners, perfect moods. It’s wild how quickly we slip into thinking we’re supposed to perform the holidays instead of actually living them.

Here’s the truth your nervous system needs to hear: you’re allowed to do less. You don’t owe anyone a flawless December.

If you get your workouts in, great—your body will thank you for the consistency and the stress relief. If your routine gets patchy because life is chaotic, that’s not a moral failure. A missed workout doesn’t erase your strength.

Same thing with food. Enjoy the treats. Savour the meals. If you over-indulge one night, your body doesn’t suddenly forget how to function. One heavy dinner isn’t the villain; the all-or-nothing mindset is. Balance isn’t built in a single day, it’s built over seasons.

Let this year feel different. Move your body when you can, nourish it in ways that feel good, enjoy the people you love, and don’t treat every holiday moment like a test you need to pass.

This season can be softer—if you let it.

Lately, I’ve been noticing all the ways my body has changed over the years. Not in a negative way—just observing.

The truth is, our bodies are meant to evolve. They’re not static; they’re dynamic, adaptive, and wise. Muscle shifts, hormones fluctuate, and the body stores and uses energy differently over time. Some of those changes—like holding onto a bit more body fat—can actually be protective, helping to regulate hormones, support brain health, and keep you strong through stressful seasons.

We spend so much time chasing “before” versions of ourselves that we forget how remarkable it is to have a body that adapts, protects, and carries us through every stage of life.

Change isn’t failure—it’s biology doing its job.

Fasting can be powerful — but for many women, it can also backfire.

Your body doesn’t see “fasting” as a trendy wellness hack — it sees it as a stressor. When you already have a lot on your plate (work, family, workouts, lack of sleep), adding long fasts can make your stress hormones go into overdrive.

Cortisol rises to keep blood sugar stable when you’re not eating, and in women, that can throw off your entire hormonal rhythm — impacting thyroid, menstrual cycles, energy, and even muscle recovery.

When cortisol stays high, your body holds onto fat, especially around the midsection, and may break down muscle to keep up with energy demands.

That’s not balance — that’s survival mode.

For women, eating regularly with enough protein and nutrients helps regulate stress hormones, keep energy steady, and support the hormonal dance that allows you to build strength and feel your best.

Fasting can work for some, but if you’re tired, anxious, or your cycle is off — your body might be asking for nourishment, not more restriction.

One of the hardest parts about injury recovery is patience. Many clients get frustrated when a strain or sprain doesn’t bounce back as fast as they’d hoped — and that’s totally normal.

But here’s the truth: healing takes time, and the timeline depends on how much tissue was actually damaged.
• Mild strains or sprains (Grade I): usually 2–4 weeks
• Moderate (Grade II): often 6–8 weeks
• Severe tears (Grade III): several months, sometimes longer

And recovery isn’t just about rest — your diet, sleep, and stress levels all influence how fast your body repairs itself. Protein, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory foods matter just as much as movement.

Your body wants to heal. You just have to give it the right environment — consistency, nourishment, and patience.
