Podium Update! 🥈

I snagged 2nd place in the 50–54 age group and got to stand on the podium—woohoo! 🎉

The swim? Total chaos. We had to zigzag and switch lanes at the end of each lap… not my favorite. 🌀 But I survived.

The bike started strong—until my chain popped off. (Cue dramatic music especially the 2nd time which was at least 3 min and I had to turn my bike upside down.) By the time I got it back on, at least five people had zipped past me. Pretty sure it cost me first place… I was only 1:24 behind the winner. 😩

Ah well—next time! I still had a blast, and now I’m completely pooped.

Moral of the story? Keep moving, keep yourself accountable, and sign up for something that pushes you. Your future self will thank you. 💪🔥

Yep—even your trainer has aches. The trick? I know how to fix it. 👣Tight calves & soleus muscles love to mess with your knees.Instead of mindlessly rolling, try this:🎯 Find a tender spot on your calf with the foam roller.🎯 Pin it—hold steady pressure.🎯 point your foot !)—this stretches those tight fibers under pressure.This pin and stretch move is a game-changer for cranky knees.Remember—pain isn’t a stop sign. It’s a call to work smarter.

🎥 Traveling? No gym? No excuses.
Here’s how to master the staggered leg deadlift with a resistance band—a killer move for glutes and hamstrings when all you’ve got is a band and your body.

✅ It’s ALL about the hip hinge, not the squat.
👎 Quit rounding your back or turning this into a weird lunge. I should be keeping my shouldersers back more if I would have had a mirror I would have noticed
👊 Hips back, spine long, core tight.
🔥 Feel that stretch in your hamstring? That’s the money spot.

Whether you’re in a hotel, your living room, or hiding from kids in the backyard, this move keeps you strong and stable.

No equipment? No problem.
No form? We have a problem. 😏
Fix it with me in this video.

Overheard at Energy Fitness:
“My daughter said she liked the old mom better—the one who didn’t make her take the stairs. ‘I’m gonna complain to your personal trainer,’ she said.”

Sorry, kiddo. That mom upgraded.
She’s got more strength, stamina, and sass—and she’s not looking back. 🚶‍♀️💪✨
Taking the stairs now isn’t punishment—it’s progress.
