The number one way to protect your knees and hips is to have strong glutes.

Strengthening your glutes normalizes hip and thigh position, reduces the loading force on the knee joint and prevents the knees from caving in on each other when landing from a jump, squatting, or running.

The gluteus maximus is the primary hip extensor muscle, and also the largest of the three gluteals. Their biggest job is in keeping us upright and pushing our bodies forward. Strong glutes are important for proper pelvic alignment, propulsion during walking and running, and even standing on one leg.

Therefore, weak glutes can lead to knock knees, knee pain, ankle sprains and plantar fasciitis. When the glutes are functioning properly, they create a stable foundation for your upper body. Weak glutes cause this foundation to become shaky.

Plus, no one ever died from a butt cramp. (iykyk)🤣

I have an app and one of my programs on that app is called, "Just Tell Me What To Do". 😅

In this program are exercises designed to keep you moving in the right direction. My clients know how to work their glutes and are super strong.
Do they love working their glutes? No, no they do not. 😂
Are they happy afterwards? Yes, yes they are. 😁

Kummerspeck (aka… grief bacon 😬)

Let’s be honest…
The world feels a little heavy right now.
Global stuff. Constant news. High-level stress humming in the background.

And yeah… sometimes that shows up as:
🍿 extra snacking
🍫 “just one more”
🍝 comfort food on repeat

That’s a very human response. Not only are you helping yourself to cope in the moment, but subconsciously you might be prepping a bit. You know, adding a little bulk in case lean times are coming? Maybe like a bear before winter?
Here's a tip though: Prep in the pantry (or basement). It's much easier on your body. 😅

👉 You are allowed to self soothe.
The goal isn’t perfection… it’s not letting a moment turn into a spiral.

Here are some tips that might help:
✔ Pause before the second helping
✔ Add something helpful (protein, fiber, water) alongside the comfort food
✔ Take a 10–15 minute walk with your dog after eating (this one is magic for both mood + blood sugar)
✔ Ask yourself: “Do I need food… or do I need a break, a breath, or a distraction?”

Sometimes the answer is still food. And that’s okay because alcohol, drugs and overthrowing the government are frowned upon. 😂
Just don’t let “I had a moment” turn into “screw it, I might as well eat as much as I want."

We are all just humans living in a weird time… doing our best.
Eat the cookie.

Have you ever worked with a trainer that you just didn't mesh with?

It's ok!
We all have our preferences with what motivates us.

I tend to be quiet but persistent.
Funny with a solid eye roll.
Savant in knowing what you can and maybe cannot do on any given day.
And yes, I know exactly which weights you need. 😂 iykyk

So if you are looking to work with reach out to me.

Lifting your spirits might be as easy as adding more beans and other fiber-rich foods to your plate. A study published in the journal Nutrition found that people who reported eating the most fiber overall had fewer depressive symptoms. The data came from 16,807 American adults enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

The study suggests that consuming at least 23 grams of fiber daily is the magic mark for reducing depression risk, though Americans typically eat only about 15–18 g. Where does this mood-boosting benefit come from? It could be that high-fiber foods provide an arsenal of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that improve brain function. Dietary fiber can also improve the microorganisms in our gut, and a growing body of research suggests that these critters may play a role in brain health. So you can feel especially good about eating high-fiber foods.

Note: When you first add fiber to your diet, it can make you gassy. It is always best to be gassy at home with those who love you!

INGREDIENTS
1 ½ pounds pencil-thin asparagus (or substitute small or medium asparagus, split lengthwise)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 serrano or other fresh hot chile, finely chopped
A large handful of basil, mint and cilantro leaves

PREPARATION
Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths
In a wok or cast-iron skillet, heat the oil until nearly smoking. Add the asparagus, season generously with salt and pepper and stir well, making sure the asparagus is coated and glistening with oil. Continue to stir-fry over high heat for about 1 minute, until the asparagus looks bright green and barely cooked. Add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for 30 seconds more.

Transfer to a serving platter and scatter leaves on top. Serve immediately. 😋

PS: Store your asparagus by cutting off the bottom bit and then place in a jar of water with a tsp of sugar. Yup...sugar. You're welcome.

Ingredients:
1/3 of a whole green cabbage, shredded
1/3 of a whole red cabbage, shredded
1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
2 green onions, sliced
1 medium carrot, grated
handful of walnuts, roughly chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of natural honey
2 tablespoons of good mustard of your choice
2 teaspoon of rice vinegar
1 teaspoon of soy sauce or tamari

Instructions:
Start by preparing the vegetables. Thinly shred both the green and red cabbage into a large salad bowl. Add salt.
Add the sliced cucumber to the bowl with the cabbages.
Thinly slice the onions and add it to the bowl. Then, take the carrot and grate it and toss it in with the other vegetables.
For the walnuts, give them a rough chop so they’re in smaller pieces but still have a nice crunch. Add them to the salad.

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, honey, mustard, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Whisk them together until you have a smooth and emulsified dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the flavors as you like. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more honey; for more tang, add a little more vinegar.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving so the flavors can mingle.

Give the salad a final toss and taste. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.

Coach Zuli said this needs to be posted daily. 😂

Now that we are back to having daylight hours in the evening, there is zero reason not to leash up your bff and go for a nice walk! (Only if your bff is a dog though! Otherwise leave off the leash.) 😂

I guarantee this will be the best time of their day as you will see when they look up at you and smile. Yeah, it can be tough to leave the comfy couch and get going but you too will appreciate that walk in the end!

Also, did you know that going for a walk after dinner can significantly improve blood sugar control by helping your muscles use glucose more efficiently, reducing post-meal spikes. Even 10–15 minutes of light movement supports better insulin sensitivity, aids digestion, and may help prevent energy crashes later in the evening. Over time, this simple habit can contribute to more stable blood sugar levels, improved metabolic health, and even better sleep.

Most of us know that strength training (with free weights, weight machines, or resistance bands) can help build and maintain muscle mass and strength. What many of us don't know is that strong muscles lead to strong bones. And strong bones can help minimize the risk of fracture due to osteoporosis.

A combination of age-related changes, inactivity, and inadequate nutrition conspire to gradually steal bone mass, at the rate of 1% per year after age 40. As bones grow more fragile and susceptible to fracture, they are more likely to break after even a minor fall or a far less obvious stress, such as bending over to tie a shoelace.

Osteoporosis should be a concern for all of us. An estimated eight million women and two million men in the United States have osteoporosis. It is now responsible for more than two million fractures each year, and experts expect that number will rise. Hip fractures are usually the most serious. Six out of 10 people who break a hip never fully regain their former level of independence. Even walking across a room without help may become impossible.

Numerous studies have shown that strength training can play a role in slowing bone loss, and several show it can even build bone. This is tremendously useful to help offset age-related declines in bone mass. Activities that put stress on bones can nudge bone-forming cells into action. That stress comes from the tugging and pushing on bone that occur during strength training. The result is stronger, denser bones.

And strength training, in particular, has bone benefits beyond those offered by aerobic weight-bearing exercise. It targets bones of the hips, spine, and wrists, which are the sites most likely to fracture. What's more, resistance workouts — particularly those that include moves emphasizing power and balance — enhance strength and stability. That can boost confidence, encourage you to stay active, and reduce fractures another way — by cutting down on falls.

This sounds so basic as to seem ridiculous but I have been out exploring the world and I have seen many times people limited to basically a drive by because they have allowed their mobility to lapse.

People well into their 60s, 70s, & 80s (and beyond) can be quite capable of walking up the Eiffel Tower, visiting the Carlsbad Caverns and kayaking in Iceland.

BUT.... you have to work at it!

You will need strength, stamina, balance, and flexibility.

Working with a trainer to make sure your golden years are full of adventure NOW is key.

You wouldn't wait until retirement to get a job to pay for it, right?
Same with being fit after retirement. You have to start before it's time for adventures.

Message me... I can help.

Cauliflower and Greens Frittata
Ingredients
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 3 cups chopped cauliflower (or broccoli)
• 4 cups spinach (or any greens)
• 4 large eggs
• 6 large egg whites
• 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese (or not)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or any herb you have)

Directions
Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
In a large skillet, drizzle the olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the onions and stir until sizzling. Add the cauliflower and stir for a minute, then cover the pan and lower the heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a paring knife. Scrape the cauliflower mixture into the pie pan, fluffing it to cool for 10 minutes.
In the bowl of a food processor, place the spinach and process to chop. Scrape down the sides and add the eggs, egg whites, parmesan and thyme and process until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture over the cauliflower, using a spatula to distribute the eggs and vegetables evenly.
Bake for 45 minutes, until the frittata is puffed in the center and feels firm when pressed. Cool on a rack for at least 5 minutes before cutting in four portions. Serve warm. Store leftovers, tightly covered, for up to 4 days.
