A relaxing way to end a good day in the mountains. Hiking. The view of the sunset slowly hitting the mountains was beautiful and Serene
Off to do some hot cold water therapy. I'll sleep like a rock tonight!

Today's first hike of the year!!!
I meant to run but over half the trail at the bottom end was snow slushy and muddy, bad clay style mud too. I slipped ate sh*t about 5-6 times but managed to land on the hands
Near the top on the way down was a different story going at 45° -70° steep grade was like dirt skiing downhill haha! I don't advise recording but wanted to share with you. Probably why women live longer than men😆 beautiful overlooks at the top

Pain is the birthplace of power because it strips illusions, it reveals who's really with you And who is against you. It exposes your weakness But it also introduces you to strength you didn't know you had And when you come out of that fire you are not the same. Whether it's physical exercise pain, emotional or mental pain use that for growth and not decay. It's on you to become the person you want to be!

is a good way to end the week with an in action professional photoshoot with fellow employees and members of the San Juan college Health and Human Performance Center Gym.

ARE YOU A POND OR A FLOWING RIVER !
What do you think of yourself as and which one are you? Comfort can be good now and then, but too much of it and it is a known killer of dreams, Purpose, passions, goals and if not careful, YOUR HEALTH

My HC TRAINING FIT APP personal food logs:
From
*lifting weights resistance training, to a
*cardio sprinting session outdoors on a nice day, to *resting at home/sleeping!
WE ARE WHAT WE EAT and it's our fuel mentally physically spiritually and helps us recover when at rest!
I want to share a couple days of my food logging this past week that I do through my HC TRAINING FITNESS APP. Yes, I have my own profile and use my own app for tracking not only workouts but my food logs daily which I have been more consistent and disciplined on!
(Gotta practice what I preach right 😉.)
I want to share the food log and details of a 'perfect' day(3,750kcal) and, a well non perfect day I went way over and consumed 5,000 k calories 😆

It can be a pain, but it is so worth it because you realize how much you're eating and what they consist of. Therefore, helping you adjust the rest of your day and week
to meet your DAILY NUTRITION GOAL.

And helping me as a coach adjust the calories, macros and foods to help you build muscle and burn fat at the same time = body recomposition 💪🏼

it's self betrayal when you shrink yourself down just to make someone else feel comfortable!
self esteem is how you feel about yourself.
Self respect is the way you treat yourself

posing practice between sets to push more blood through the muscles being worked!

When you learn to rise from within, nothing or no one can pull you down, unless you let it.

These were challenging going heavy on Pull (back) day with these 1.5 pulse reps on the lat pulldown machine! It really fires up the Lats and middle inner back muscles

A great topic came up last night! It was the feeling of being stuck. Whether that's stuck in a rut, stuck in your head or just feeling stuck in life.

Best advice I could give was to practice positive self-talk and have self-compassion for yourself and have that 'I get to' attitude instead of 'i have to' can be a game changer.

Our mind is the most powerful muscle in our body and if we're not careful, we can weaponize it against ourselves.

Therefore, I do my best to coach positive self talk because he who says he can't and he who says he can are both usually right!

After age 30, you start to lose 2% of your muscle mass per year. UNLESS You fight back with strength training.
No lifting weights = faster aging
No protein = weaker body
so muscle isn't just for looks, It is PROTECTION in many forms!
Resistance training through weightlifting is still a big secret among many and Add quality protein and you will age strong. This is the way to combat aging and I'm here to help spread the message.
