I’ll never forget when I decided to quit my job & go to chiropractic school. I was so excited to tell my mentor at the time, but his response wasn’t what I expected. He didn’t approve of chiropractors & said it was a field that made patients come in every week for life. I knew that wasn’t what I wanted & I didn’t want to be a “sleazy” chiropractor.

The patient who left this review has only come in 2x, which were spaced out by 4 weeks. So no, chiropractors should never force you to come in every week for life. Sure if you’re dealing with an injury or chronic pain, you’ll get a specific treatment plan, but I never want a patient coming in for life. I love y’all, but don’t want to see you for life.

I’ve heard it all before:
“I don’t deadlift because I don’t want to hurt my back.”
“I don’t run because bad knees run in my family.”
“I don’t use the GHD machine because I’m scared of it.”
“I’ve never done coppenhagen planks because I don’t know how to.”

STOP fearing movement & START trusting yourself!

Movement doesn't happen by accident.

We all have a focused sense of purpose whether we realize it or not. You don't end up at the gym by accident. You don't accidently push through the last few reps when you feel like giving up. With every workout, every decision about what to eat, going to bed early, & even pushing through extra reps. Your purpose is what guides you.

Personally my purpose has become more clear with age as I focus on building a balanced, healthier life. I had a purpose for starting my fitness journey & I still do everyday.

With anything you do in life, decide to fully do it & commit 100%. Don't half ass it. Move with conviction. Move with reason. Move with purpose.

Do you train in single stance? Almost half of our time spent walking is balancing on one leg, so why not train that way too? Give it a try with this simultaneous single limb stability + thoracic spine mobility 👌🏽

Bring the leg closest to the wall into 90° of hip flexion. You can stabilize your hip/thigh against the wall until you feel comfortable balancing on one leg. Twist your mid-back as you arc one arm 180° with your gaze following your hand, then do the same with the arm closest to the wall. Each arm will feel different as will balancing on each leg.

Hope y'all had a great Monday & are ready for a new month! Let's get it 🙌🏽

Today was a dream! Ran the Zion half marathon with my siblings. Not sure if that will ever happen again, so soaking this all in! If the Zion half marathon isn't on your bucket list, add it now!

They changed the trail a couple of weeks ago, so it was entirely a trail run instead of a paved road. I forgot how gorgeous & fun trail running is. Definitely need to invest in a pair of trail running shoes & get back into trail running.

If y'all haven't practiced my mobility Monday move from this week, go back & give that a try before adding a weight. Monday I demoed a standing windmill variation with no weight. Today I demo 3 variations in a half kneeling position & 1 in standing.

All variations require both hip & thoracic (mid-back) mobility + shoulder stability. Here are the variations in order:
1️⃣ 1/2 kneeling sliding hand down your thigh
2️⃣ 1/2 kneeling moving your hand a bit further away from you
3️⃣ 1/2 kneeling with hand further away then going down onto your forearm
4️⃣ Standing windmill with weight

Key points:
- Turn your toes slightly in the opposite direction of the side with the weight
- Push your hips in the opposite direction of your toes
- Keep your knees soft
- Keep your gaze at the weight & shoulder stacked
- Don't bend at the spine (keep your back flat)

Building habits doesn't happen overnight. As I wrote last week, it all begins with our thoughts. It's not just our actions that become our habits, but our consistent actions that do so.

1 new habit I've been trying to build is not using my phone the last hour before bed and the first hour when I wake up. By placing my charger across the room, that forces me to at least not have my phone near my bed. That was step 1, but it's now putting my phone down at a certain time each night that I have to take action on. My reward is being able to read before bed instead of study or scroll IG.

Make sure your environment & your routine help reinforce whatever habit you are trying to build. Placing my yoga strap & foam roller right by my bed is what helped me build a stretching habit since I couldn't avoid them every night. Now that is part of my daily routine.

Outta sight outta mind, but in sight in control. Take control of your environment to build the habits you want!

I've neglected my kettlebells these past couple of months. They truly saved me during quarantine, but once my gym reopened I ran to the barbells and didn't look back. Time to re-incorporate kettlebell work back to my weekly routine. Which means more garage workouts for me!

The first two videos are on 2x speed so y'all can watch the entire thing to see both parts of the exercise. Which of these 4 moves is your fave?

1️⃣ 5 forward lunges onto platform + 5 deficit reverse lunges (left side)
2️⃣ 5 forward lunges onto platform + 5 deficit reverse lunges (right side)
3️⃣ Single kettlebell squat clean
4️⃣ Single leg RDLs (obvi repeat on both sides)

It's crazy how I've been doing single leg RDLs for like 10 years but still find them challenging. Today I placed the kettlebell on the same side as my standing leg vs. having it in the opposite hand. Both are correct, just depends on your goal. Keep your hips & shoulders neutral & that back foot pointing down the entire time.....clearly where I still struggle. Fitness is all about progress though!
