“Can you check my form?”

Absolutely, but let’s understand that there isn’t one perfect way to perform an exercise.

Considerations:
- is it causing you discomfort?
- do you feel the exercise in the appropriate muscles?
- is your range of motion progressing over time?

What looks “good” to one eye may not tell us the whole story.

Aim to create an efficient movement pattern for you and your body vs “perfect” textbook form.
Aim for progress over perfection.

Even if you’re not working with a coach, I recommend taking videos of your form so you can adjust as needed and see your progress over time.

Exercise form checks are included with all of our hybrid training programs ⚡️

Choose your hard.

Taking care of yourself is hard. Not taking care of your self is hard. They’re both hard, but one allows you to level strong and confident while doing it.

Choosing yourself, your health, and your fitness takes effort and accountability.

You can’t “hack” your way to being fit.

Take the necessary steps to live the healthful life you deserve. (Baby steps get you there!)

I’m not like a regular personal trainer & running coach, I’m a cool personal trainer & running coach 🤪

1. I don’t require my athletes to belong to a gym or have access to a barbell. You can do A LOT with just dumbbells or a couple kettlebells. Sure, would a full gym be nice? Of course, but not everyone has that luxury.

2. I don’t assume your goals have anything to do with your weight or looks. In fact, I prefer that we focus on the performance side of things (strength, endurance, power, muscle gain). If you have an aesthetic goal, let it be the byproduct of your improved performance. You can be strong and fit at most sizes.

3. I don’t expect perfection. You need to be flexible with your training schedule and duration if you want it to stick in the long term. All or nothing thinking won’t get you far.

4. I don’t expect you to love training. Sure, I’d love for you to love it, but for many that’s not the reality. If you find it as a chore, it’s my job to show you that showing up and doing the things that you don’t always want to do will improve your health and life in every aspect. Plus, showing up for yourself and doing the things you say you’re going to do builds confidence.

Training with me isn’t a one size fits all approach. I meet you where you are in your fitness, and you show up for yourself to achieve your goals. It’s a team effort.

You can’t punish yourself into achieving your goals.

How you speak about yourself impacts your outcomes.

If you say you’re not good at xyz or can’t do something, you’re right!

Once you start reframing and retraining your brain to think, “I could do that”, that’s when the shift begins.

The shift from I can’t 👉🏼 I could 👉🏼 I will 👉🏼 I do.

It doesn’t happen over night. But it does start up top in your noggin 🧠

Do you agree?

Inspired by taking 9 days off from lifting due to illness, travel, and having fun with friends…

It takes longer than you’d think to detrain, especially in someone who is well trained.

If you skip the gym for a week or two, your years of hard work don’t just fly out the window.

Sure, let’s make an effort to get back into a consistent rhythm, but to assume you’re never going to get sick, never going to have travel conflicts, etc is irrational.

Things you can do to avoid detraining and losing fitness while not lifting include: staying active in other ways, eating enough protein, and eating enough in general, and continuing to prioritize sleep and stress management.

Following a sustainable program will set you up for long-term success, too.

Strong, not frail.
Fed, not starved.
Hard, not dangerous.

If you’re a runner who’s been hesitant to lift weights, let’s set the record straight —

1. Lifting doesn’t make you bulky. Getting “bulky” would take years of dedicated work with consistent high calorie intake because women do not have nearly as much testosterone as men.

2. Running and lifting do not damage your knees. Lifting helps lower your risk of injury by strengthening your muscles in multiple planes of motion making you more resilient. And although running is higher impact, runners have shown to have a lower risk of osteoarthritis than sedentary individuals.

3. Lifting doesn’t make you a slower runner. Lifting allows you to build strength, power, and muscle so you can endure more on the trails and pavement — better force production, better endurance, and better resilience.

4. If lifting light weights gets you lifting, great. But lifting moderate-heavy weights is where the magic happens for building strength and muscle for not only running, but daily life and longevity.
