Most people speak negatively...to themselves...and about themselves...every day.

When you start to notice just how often this happens, it's actually astounding.

There's a time and a place to work on ourselves, but we gain nothing from putting ourselves down at the end of the day.

Whether you're saying it out loud or not, the thoughts resonate in your nervous system. ⚡

I'm certainly not saying it's easy, but I am saying that disrupting these ingrained neural pathways is very possible.

The holidays are a time when a lot of body shaming can take place, as well as feelings of insufficiency due to decreased motivation, comparing yourself to others, the list goes on.

It doesn't have to be sappy. If you don't like what you see when you look in the mirror, for example, can you simply say "I respect this body I call home" (even if you don't believe it...yet) ???

You don't have to love yourself wholeheartedly today. But, can you start to notice the patterns that aren't serving you? 🖤

This practice holds power.

For me, last Christmas this came in the form of scream singing while I walked barefoot along the ocean. The ultimate catharsis, a walk, AND positive affirmations all-in-one. ✨

What form of affirmation feels best for you?

Peace in body and mind is more attainable than you'd think. ✨

Because of our knowledge of the nervous system...the circuit of receiving inputs, processing data, and relaying outputs...we know what tools will create your desired 'environment'.

We can effectively communicate with our brain, to get the desired output, by using techniques that utilize specific inputs. This, to me, is the most magical thing in the world!! 😍

Often, that sought-after result is feeling more relaxed (no aches/pains/tension, no emotional distress).

In this modern day hustle and bustle world, we all deserve to feel more grounded, less reactive, and generally...just healthier and happier.

Today, I gave a presentation to the amazing folks at EBSCO Information Services () that focused on stress, nervous system regulation, and a guided session that gave people SUPER realistic tools for their stress-relief toolbox. 🧰

Nervous system regulation goes hand-in-hand with emotional regulation, stress tolerance, and a general sense of peace in body and mind.

🔥🔥🔥

Every second you spend exercising is worth it. You don't have to get under a heavy barbell if you don't want to. All you need is a safe space and the right routine for you, in this moment.

📌 Here are some of Dr. Meg's favorite (no equipment needed, full body-focused) BURN moves:
1. Goblet Squat (feel it in your inner thighs)
2. Hamstring-Biased Bridges (feel it in your butt & back of thighs)
3. Side-Lying Leg Lift + Circles (feel it in your side-booty and obliques)
4. Cross-Over Crunches (feel it in your abs - in the front, and your obliques)
5. Kneeling Lumbar Extensions (feel it in your low back)

✅ If you treat these 5 exercises like a circuit, perform 1-3x bewteen a warm-up and a cool-down, you may feel tons of benefits.

🖤 What is 'BURN' by Lovely Bones?
A high-rep-low-load muscle activation class focused on targeted movements.

🖤 What is the goal of this class?
To improve muscle engagement & endurance, joint health, balance, nervous system control/grounding.

Listen 👏 To 👏 Your 👏 Body 👏

It's always the right call. No matter what your pride is telling you, the reality is what is BEST for you in any moment will vary, within yourself and from person to person.

You can and should be willing to challenge yourself, to see and assess where you current fitness level is at, BUT❗

Modifications are there for a reason. There are a ton of different ways to achieve the same goal, and plenty of exercises and exercise versions at your disposal (especially when your fitness instructor is a physical therapist ✌️).

Your body may feel different often because your nervous system reacts to the internal and external environments that make up your reality, and you never know what life will bring each day...

All exercises are not created equal. Fitness is healthcare, too (precious precious prevention), and your care should be individualized.

📌 General guidelines for any type of workout...

Ensure you give it your current best effort, while choosing to do what feels:
➡️ safe
➡️ controlled
➡️ good (physically & emotionally)

Guidance ⬇️🔥

Soooo many folks fall into 1 of 2 camps - either you're crushing cardio but sacrificing by feeling exhausted/too sore/mental burn out, OR, higher-intensity cardio is NOT a consistent part of your life.

Making sure you maintain your heart's capacity to reach higher intensity is invaluable. It's just a matter of dose, exercise selection, and mental approach, that might dictate your health at the end of the day. With time, you can find the right balance that feels best for you.

HIIT is beneficial for optimizing function, and disease prevention, throughout the lifespan. Just make sure the cardio routine you choose feels like it's ADDING to your quality of life, not hindering it.

I want to help you do something that gets you optimal results, without sacrificing anything. 🖤

📌 Here are some key education points I use with clients:

➡️ A lot of people mistake a moderate intensity workout for HIIT. HIIT SHOULD be going ALL out. You don't need a lot of high-intensity cardio in your routine (even a couple sprints a week!! not exceeding 10-15 min per session).

➡️ HIIT should generally not be prioritized over other high-yield forms of exercise, like strength training. When you feel in the groove with a good fitness foundation, think about adding in 1 short HIIT session. You can build from there. Staying under your stress threshold is key. Experiment, and adjust as needed.

➡️ Don't complicate it. Pick a few fast-paced exercises that feel good in your body, and that you can control successfully. Set up circuits, go all out for 30+ seconds each, and cycle through them. Work in different planes, focus on various body areas.

✨BONUS✨
Put on music that compels you to MOVE, don your favorite outfit, and think about how lucky we are to be able to workout.
