Anyone who knows me knows that I continue to learn each day whether it’s real estate, fitness, my ME treatments or even jewelry making. I love to learn! I’ve been following Dr Vonda Wright for awhile now and was so excited when she wrote a book. My passion and focus has been on women and menopause. The mentality that goes with it drives me crazy! I’m tired of hearing my Dr says that’s how it is! I’ve never believed that! This book will help you realize that it doesn’t have to be like that! Here’s a couple things I’ve learned so far:

It’s about diffusing the time bomb inside of use but reclaiming control over our health choosing how we age and not letting time and sedentary living choose for us. Build mental hardness choosing health over housework.

All this “over the hill” at 40 or 50 nonsense is grounded in sedentary science in decades of studies having observed what happens when you do nothing! This should be treated as a warning lights not inevitability!

I can’t wait to finish this book!

The hip flexor muscles are a group of muscles situated near the top of your thighs that allow you to lift your knee toward your chest and bend forward at the hip. This includes the iliacus, pectineus, psoas major, re**us femoris, and sartorius muscles that work together to enable hip flexion.
In my video I show a very simple exercise to help strengthen your hip flexors. Be sure when trying you sit up straight and do not drop in the chest and belly. This is a great exercise for people who sit all day. Stretching is one thing but from my experience most need strength. Try it and let me know what you think! 🤗

Every week I prep my meats for the week so dinner time is easier. If you’ve ever talked with me about food you know I don’t really like to cook so I want something easy! I get 3lbs of turkey and season and weigh each of them so they are 1oz balls cook some and freeze the rest. These can last 2-3 weeks. I wanted to show that it took me about 12 1/2 minutes to make them all! Cooking was about 10-15 minutes but when they are cooking, I can go do something else. Prepping food doesn’t have to take long or be hard and in the end on a busy week night it makes your life so much easier!

Core exercises do they really work?

The answer yes and no! I bet you’re thinking thanks for that! But it’s a fact, it just depends what results you want from them.

We have all seen the ads for doing some exercise for 30 days and your belly fat will be gone! But does it really work like that? No

Will it strengthen your core and help your back? Possibly, but to just get rid of belly fat so you have 6 pack abs no!

I hate to tell you this but abs are made in the kitchen and killing yourself doing crunches will not help the way you want. Eating better and understanding how much and what to eat will allow you to lose the belly fat.

You’ve probably heard the saying you can’t outrun a bad diet and it comes down to just that! It doesn’t mean you can’t have dessert or have a drink or two when out with friends. Small changes make for big improvements in the way you look and feel.

Exercise for getting stronger, eat for getting your body to look the way you want!

Ground Turkey, bag of cole slaw and broccoli (didn’t use dressing that came with it) and seasoning. Total time to prepare 15 minutes! Best part leftovers!🤗
Food does NOT have to be hard. I hate cooking! If a recipe is too long I skip it! lol But! I don’t want to eat out all the time and eating dinner at 9-930 at night is too late to go out. So to make my life easy I make things that have leftovers. Each week I prepare my meat for the week by making 3lbs of turkey (can be any meat) meatballs in 1 oz. balls freeze some and cook some for week. I also cook a bunch of chicken and we always have leftover steak.
I don’t use a bunch of separate containers you see for food prepping just take out what I need and add what I want like veggies, salad, potatoes etc. When you get use to having food ready you will be surprised how easy it makes your life on a busy day. Try it Monday through Friday and relax on the weekends. 🤗

Static stretching vs. dynamic stretching
What’s the difference? To put it simply static is holding and dynamic is moving.
Many of you know that I’ve taught yoga for years and in yoga there is a lot of static stretching which I believe is important. Through the years my yoga has changed and we move gently through a lot of movements without holding too long. Recently Shane and I have been working on an entire movement routine and I have incorporated these legs swing’s everyday. I do them before my lifting and even on my off days. Why? Because the difference in my movement is amazing. 10 swings each way everyday has released my low back, loosened my hips and increased my range of motion. Movement is vital for our health so I challenge you to give this a try for 30 days. Swinging legs front to back, inside circle outside circle and side swing. Go at your level and start with 6-8 and work up to 10 each way!
