Shake out hike? We were enjoying the trail and talking, maybe didn't mean to go 6 miles. 🥾

Packing water, electrolytes, snacks, extra socks and other supplies for our march tomorrow.

Due to extreme heat, the entire route has been reduced to 15.6 miles this year. The plan is to be done BEFORE the temps get into the 90's.

Updates tomorrow.

My favorite way to start the day, thank you for letting me join you.

Loved seeing the sun come up and revealing the desert in bloom.

Let's do this again🥾

I've been playing around with YouTube shorts like this one:

I found a fun study about cheese and bone health:

I help women over 50 exercise to prevent unnecessary bone loss, prevent falls that fracture, and stay fearlessly active with their friends and families for years to come.

Teaching live online classes sometimes means unexpected guests show up who don't really care!

My fluffy cat would NOT leave my yoga mat, and gave me A LOOK when I tried to coax him over to the side.

I love it when he comes to visit, just like I love seeing all of your pets show up for class each day.

I don't have to walk my cats, they mostly entertain themselves, but I do miss the days of having a dog force me to go outside when I really don't want to.

I've been doing a challenge with my Strong Women members to get out and move this January, because it can be HARD!

Here is your nudge to get out and do a little something more than you feel like doing today. Each time you push through that resistance, you build your resolve and reinforce your commitment to staying healthy.

See you in class.

I had a blast teaching on Halloween!

I do my best to keep it interesting for my clients who take time out of their day to work on their bone health. Today we did a variation on walking lunges and added a bit of a zombie twist.

When somebody asks me "what exercise should I do to stay strong and avoid medication's" I hesitate to respond because there is no ONE exercise.

The key to keeping your bones strong is to challenge them every day, in different ways.

So here's one for today, a Zombie lunge. If lunges don't work for you, try a squat. If squats are difficult, sit and stand out of a chair for the number of reps that feels doable.

What was the best costume you saw on Halloween?

I'd love to hear!

A recent addition to my Weights and Core class. I love this one for you if you have wrists that need a break, go to your forearms. I used yoga blocks for additional cushion.

When you lower your upper body, you also increase the intensity of the hip extension. Add a small weight behind the knee to really focus the lift.

Follow this with a calf stretch.

Of course you can do this from hands and knees as well, and be careful if your hamstrings start to cramp. Be sure to extend the leg and curl the toes under for the calf stretch.

lifting weights can start with body weight and give you a great opportunity to practice your mobility on the floor.

A major problem I see is with women who don't get down on the floor and figure out how to get off of the floor again. Exercises like this get you down there move you around and strengthen functionally for any position you find yourself in..

Do you get down on the floor every day,? Comment below, and let me know what you do or need to do down on the floor !

When I teach weight training to my women with bone loss, I focus on muscle muscles like the glutes because they're essential in getting you up off the floor.

Practice it, master it, and get all your fun activities into your calendar.

I finished off the last of Vermont's 4000 footers yesterday, with my sister!

I highly recommend going to the top of Killington at some point. You can hike there or you can take the gondola, see the video.

The view is amazing. I grew up near Killington and have been to the top of this mountain more times than I can count, usually on skis, but today was just awe inspiring.

I can't wait to go back .

We did the Bucklin Trail, which is a moderate trail with some serious scrambling the last .3 miles. Total mileage up and back 8.4 miles.

That finishes off my five Vermont 4000 foot peaks, but that doesn't mean I'm done hiking in Vermont .

What's your favorite hike?
