Sharing my simple ❤️

When I’m home, when I’m traveling, when I’m scrambling through these are my 🙏🏻
These daily ground me, remind me to structure my day and week in a supportive manner, and serve as a source of motivation when I can’t find any 🙃

Save the ones that speak to you 💋

Sharing What I Eat On Repeat

It’s mostly the same 6 meals —with a little variation of flavor. The meals in my “weekly schedule” are satisfying, easy to make, easy to store, and they help me and my family hit our protein goals 🙌🏼💪🏻

I love food, I love sharing a meal, and I really enjoy being in the kitchen, on days I’m not rushed 😌—(which isn’t very often in this season of life 😂)

Because of our busy & very physically demanding schedules, I have to be on my A-game with our family meal prep 80% of the time. (Yes—there are weeks we simply cannot 🙃So we get takeout, eat out, or swing by fast food. And it’s all good 👍

But Thankfully, I always return to Meal Prep because it saves me 🙏🏻 and I’m better physically, mentally and energetically because of it!

If you haven’t found a way to make meal planning stick—-it’s probably because you haven’t found a system that works for you! I’m sharing mine here 😋😊💋

Save it and take a moment to sit down and put together a that works for you!!! One that is based
on your time, your flavor preferences, your goals ❤️

Let’s go outer glutes and obliques! 👏🏻💪🏻

Effective glute medius training focuses on hip abduction and stability —I love it for improving core/pelvic stability, improving balance and athletic performance —-tennis & pickleball players—-this workout is for you 💋

Also love the sneaky way it trains oblique muscles on the non working/stabilizing side! 🙌🏼 😊

1. Squat + hip abduction w cable (heavy as you can go w proper form)

2. Banded Squat w a Double Pulse + OH Press
Press out against the band in the double pulse 🔥

3. ISO Curl + Lateral Raise (obliques are firing on the iso side)

4. Lateral lunge + OH Press

5 Banded Clamshell in Side Plank

Hope you love it as much as I did 💋🔥😊

that count 💪🏻🔥

Add this to your week, watch your abs grow & thank me later 💋

For abdominal definition you need load (lifting heavy enough weight) + adequate protein/carbs/fat to fuel your muscles 💪🏻 + 1-2 cardio sessions per week.
There is a lot of bio individuality in programming the perfect workout split and diet regime…. But I’m happy to share mine or help you create yours, if you are interested ☀️🎉🙌🏼

Strong 💪🏻 Core Sequence
1. Half kneeling cable wood chop (heavy & slow) 6-8/side
2. Hanging oblique knee tucks w core ball-16 reps
3. Off set Farmers carry + marches-16/side
4. Kneeling cable crunch -8

3 rounds ❤️

This felt really good! 💪🏻
It’s mostly lower body focused, but also incorporates shoulder stability & center core stability

Grab a heavy pair of dumbbells and a heavy kettlebell and get ready for a good lift ✌️

This is just one block of work in my 3 block advanced strength classes 🙌🏼 🎉
let me know if you want to join the fun!

I program a full body workout you won’t forget 💋

For all my peeps that say—“I’ll start on Monday”, or next month when things slow down or “when I have more time”…this post is for you 💋

I’m Sharing the supportive health & wellness practices that serve me 24|7 + 365 days per year as a busy working Mom in her 40’s 🎉

These daily habits allow me to show up as the best version of myself and I’m so grateful 🙏🏻
I hope they inspire you to create YOUR OWN supportive, health & wellness practices. Feel free to steal the ones you align with :)

☀️Nutrition is #1
I eat real food. I eat enough of it to nourish myself + support my training. My meals are created and centered around protein + fiber. Even on vacation!!! 💯
When I’m home, I eat the same 3-5 boring core meals. Because they help me feel and perform my best! They are all easy to make, easy to hit my macros.
I don’t really use recipes. I just focus on creating a balanced plate of 5 oz protein, 2c veggies, and 1 serving complex carbs.

I’m not skipping or avoiding meals!!! I don’t overly restrict or create a bunch of rules I focus on what I SHOULD eat
I use .app to track 🙌🏼

☀️ Health & Wellness is my priority
Intentionality matters! I want to show up as the best version of myself and that requires self care + discipline. Mt energy, my mood, my performance, the enjoyment of my life!! All rely on my daily practices

☀️I found my ideal fitness/strength training split
This is hugely dependent on your ability, your time, your goals. It’s not one size fits all!!
I do strength 💪🏻3x/week. 1 long cardio session, 1 sprint cardio session, 1 core stability—I teach JCC Thursdays 10a so it’s built in!

☀️I prioritize rest, sleep & recovery
We don’t actually build muscle in the gym! It’s our nutrition & rest that support tissue repair to grow muscle mass 💪🏻

☀️ I plan to indulge (w/o guilt)
I decide what moments are worth it, and enjoy the moment to the fullest

Want to create a lifestyle that suits your goals alongside your obligations? Let’s chat! 💬

Cheers to a new week and a new month! Hope it’s your best yet! 💋❤️

is showing up for yourself every single day—the best you can!

The time allocation, the intensity, the ease, the energy, the presence, the power, the authenticity of it…..
All variables.

The act of doing the work, and saying “ok—I’m here today —for me” to try and get 1% better than yesterday is the constant —-it all counts!

To move your body for 15 minutes, or to meditate for 5 minutes, or to eat that salad…whatever “showing up” means to YOU!

Don’t let perfection get in the way of your consistency
There are many days you won’t get an A+ and that’s ok! ✅

Stay in it, Keep showing up, even if you didn’t yesterday or last month, or last year. Start now!

You are worth it! 💪🏻❤️💗
