Train with Jane: Personal Trainer

I am an ACE and AEA certified Personal Trainer and certified PN Nutrition Coach, Sleep Coach and Health Coach. Welcome! You don’t need more information. Period.

I am a Total Transformation coach who helps you become the whole person you want to be. You are already drowning in the information you have. You need to implement what you already know, and you need help figuring out where to start and how to do this. You need better questions. You need someone to hold up a mirror. You need someone to celebrate (and point out) your successes. You need a coach AND

a mentor. You need someone to do for you what you are busy doing for others. (Kids, employees, co-workers... the list goes on!)

You come to me for clarity. For transformation. For change that sticks. I help busy women become the kind of person they actually want to be — sharp, self-aware, and grounded in the real messy business of living life to the fullest.. I offer the kind of coaching that gets you thinking differently. When you work with me, you will feel physically and mentally strong, capable of taking on any challenge without worrying that your energy level or body weight will get in the way of your goals. I provide on-line training for busy women who need to build health & fitness into their life, without it taking over. This is a daily, comprehensive program designed to take the guess work out of your health & fitness journey, offering accountability and guiding you to a state of complete wellness

We will consider the multi-dimensional thriving of you as a whole person in your whole life. Not just body fat percentage and blood work, but also factors like how you think, feel, live, connect to others and how you connect to yourself. Included in my programs are strength workouts, conditioning workouts, mobility workouts and guided rest & recovery days. There are daily accountability nutrition check-ins. Every calendar day will be right at your finger tips for easy access anywhere, any time. I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer for 20 years, a certified master TRX trainer, a Precision Nutrition certified coach, an AEA certified teacher and Masters Swim Coach, and a PN Certified Sleep Coach. I am a former professional athlete, who has been a coach and mentor for most of my life. As a seasoned professional, I know what works and what doesn't work enabling me to guide you through the quagmire of (mis)information out there and coaching you with science based knowledge and experience. Weight training and good nutrition are for everyone. Strength, power, and mobility. Proper engine fueling. Joyful daily movement. Physical confidence. These are some of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. They’ll help you live longer and better, feel and perform optimally, and as a bonus, help you walk tall and look fabulous well into old age.

It is so easy to look for the path of least resistance. We all do it.

The day has been long, the house is a mess, your couch is calling you. Your daily routine is just so comfortable.

But when you come around a corner and see an opportunity to change it up, see something new, push yourself just a little bit, you just might be richly rewarded. Either with a nice view, a good workout, or a new mindset. (Or all 3!)

This photo is Zuli and I in France. We were exploring the neighborhood and voilà....steps. So we took them and we were rewarded with a whole new perspective on the city.

How might you change up your walk to wake you up to something different?

Note: We are now in a place that is totally flat and I am house hunting for some hills!! It is amazing how having some local hills (or stairs) can get your heart rate up! Stay tuned.

If it's important to you, it's important to me!

You might be super happy about losing the spanx, and I am happy for you, but I am over here giddy because in the process you learned a lot of life skills:

👉🏼 How to eat slowly
👉🏼 How to quit eating before you are full
👉🏼 That sleep will actually help you lose weight
👉🏼 That core strength is so much better than spanx, lol
👉🏼 That muscles give you confidence
👉🏼 That your doctor, who knows nothing about the spanx, is suddenly happy with your last set of labs

So, tell me what your goal is and get started now.

Summer’s around the corner and that means…

… backyard BBQs with juicy burgers and potato salads…

… beach picnics with coolers full of sodas and chips…

… ice cream trucks, s’mores by the campfire, and fruity cocktails at every turn…

Here are 4 strategies to help you manage the summer season—no restrictive dieting or food bans required.

#1: Slow down and enjoy it.

(Gosh, that’s just good life advice, isn’t it?)

Summer holidays are fun.

But when you’re constantly confronted with summer treats or back-to-back weekends of socializing, it can feel like your healthy habits will inevitably get out of control.

Slow down, pay attention, and savor your food, and you will feel content with much less.

#2: Eat strategically.

Try eating protein-rich, balanced meals during the day leading up to an event.

Lean proteins—like chicken, tofu, or seafood—help regulate your appetite so you don’t feel like you have to eat everything as soon as you see the buffet table.

Feeling relatively satisfied upon arrival—instead of desperate for calories—will help you make more conscious choices, so you can pick the foods that really feel worth it.

#3: Avoid a “screw it” mentality.

It’s understandable why we do it: It’s so much harder to eat healthy and exercise when your schedule is more relaxed but filled with indulgences.

It’s natural to want to just “let yourself off the hook,” go on a bit of a bender, and deal with the consequences later.

Try something uncomfortable this summer: Aim for mediocrity.

Don’t try to be “perfect” with your diet or fitness right now, but don’t give up entirely either.

If you can manage to do a little bit better—even when you're bouncing between vacation and weekend pool parties—you’ll finish the summer stronger, and, well, ahead.

#4: Keep moving

Get out first thing in the morning when possible for a walk or swim, or take a brisk after-dinner walk.
Exercising while it is cooler will make you feel better and feeling better will help you make better choices when the ice cream truck rolls around. 🍦

Probably a good 80% of my nutrition clients get caught up on serving sizes. 👀

I get it!! For most of my life I had to eat thousands of calories a day to fuel my triathlon training or swimming 4-5 hours a day, etc. Not so much now. 😂😂😂

But those portion sizes are hard to pull back!
So if you feel like you are eating all the healthy things and working out consistently but you aren't seeing the results you want.... take a week or two and measure/weigh your food and track it in an app like My Fitness Pal.
I'm pretty sure you will have an "AHA" moment or two! (or 3, 4...) 😅

This is NOT something I suggest doing long term. It is just meant to give you an idea of where you might be accidentally having 3 or 4 portions when you thought you were having just one. It's so easy to do!

📅 There are SEVEN days in a week and “someday” isn’t one of them. 😉

I hear this all the time:
“I really want to work with you, especially on my nutrition… but my schedule is crazy.”

Work.
Travel.
Kids.
Shift work.
Life.

I get it. Truly.

That’s actually one of the biggest benefits of working with me online.

You do NOT have to rearrange your life around workout times or appointments. We create a plan that fits YOUR real life, not some fantasy version of it.

Together we:
✔️ Set realistic goals
✔️ Build habits that actually stick
✔️ Adjust when life gets messy
✔️ Keep you accountable and moving forward
✔️ Focus on nutrition, strength, energy, and consistency

You get coaching, support, guidance, and accountability… even when your schedule changes every five minutes. 😅

Progress does not require a perfect schedule.
It requires a plan and someone in your corner.

Reach out today and let’s get started! 💪🏻

🔥 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧. 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡. 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠.
This is one of those dishes that looks fancy… but is actually quite simple. It also helps us boost our protein. This can be lunch, dinner or a fancy looking appetizer. And if you don't like cilantro, switch it out for dill or basil. Also, in a pinch, I bet the pre-cooked lentils at Trader Joe's could speed up part of the process.

🥄 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐞𝐭𝐚 & 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐞 🍋‍🟩
(aka your new “I want something different but still healthy” go-to)
👉 ~𝟐𝟎𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠
👉 Meal prep friendly
👉 Tastes even better after it sits (rare win)

Here’s the trick most people skip:
Don’t rush it.
Let the lentils soak up that lime + olive oil situation for a bit…
and blend the feta + yogurt until it’s actually creamy.
That’s what makes this go from “meh” → “wait… this is REALLY good.”
✔ Fresh
✔ Filling
✔ A new way to look at lentils which are very French. 🇫🇷

Save this one… you’ll come back to it.
💬 If you make it, tell me what you think.

You do not need the “perfect” diet or the “perfect” training plan.
What you need is to take consistent steps in the right direction.

👉🏼 Move more often
👉🏼 Make food choices that fuel your goals
👉🏼 Get enough quality sleep
Not a perfect plan.
Not perfect ex*****on.
Just aim for consistently better.

That’s where I come in. My job is to help you stay consistent… because that’s what actually gets results.

You know how everyone wants a "hack" for health & weight loss?
Here you go:

Grab your family... canine, human or both and go for an after dinner walk!!
Participants in a large study saw the biggest impact on blood glucose when they exercised for 30 minutes within 15 minutes of finishing a meal.
The type of exercise didn’t seem to matter. Cardio, resistance, and combined training were all effective in blunting the post-meal rise in blood sugar. Same with walking, cycling, and elliptical training.

An after-dinner walk can be the perfect way to start.
Dinner is typically the largest meal of the day and it usually takes place at the end of the workday.
Take advantage of that unstructured time by walking after dinner. Your kiddos, partners & pets will enjoy it too!

Part 2
Measuring metabolism is tricky.

When it comes to metabolic measurement, the best tools are hermetically sealed metabolic chambers, but not many of us hang out in those on the regular.

Which means, while we may have our “metabolism” estimated at the gym, or by our fitness trackers, as with calorie counts on labels, these estimates can be off by 20-30 percent in normal, young, healthy people. They’re probably off by even more in other populations.

Of course, if we could accurately measure how much energy you’re expending every day, and then accurately measure exactly how much energy you’re taking in and absorbing, we could decide whether you were truly “eating too little” for your body’s requirements.

But even if we could know this outside the lab, which we can’t, it wouldn’t be useful. Because energy output is dynamic, meaning that every variable changes whenever any other variable changes.
In other words, unless we can exactly measure energy inputs and outputs from minute to minute, we can’t know for sure what your metabolism is doing and how it matches the food you’re eating.

So, most of the time, we have to guess. And our guesses aren’t very good.
Not only that, but the idea of “eating too little” is subjective.
Think about it. By “eating too little”, do you mean…
Eating less than normal?
Eating less than you’ve been told to eat?
Eating less than feels right?
Eating less than you need to be healthy?
Eating less than your estimated metabolic rate?
Eating less than your actual metabolic rate?

And how often does that apply? Are you…
Eating too little at one meal?
Eating too little on one day?
Eating too little every day?
Eating too little almost every day but too much on some days?
Without clarity on some of these questions, you can see how easy it is to assume you’re “eating too little” but still not eating less than your actual energy expenditure, even if you did some test to estimate your metabolic rate and it seems like you’re eating less than that number.

You’re tracking your eating and exercise meticulously but not seeing results. Has your metabolism slowed to a crawl? Are your hormones off? Is it really possible to GAIN weight from eating too LITTLE? Here’s what’s really going on—and how to solve it.

Truth: Thermodynamics don’t lie.

You’ve probably heard the phrase—the laws of thermodynamics—before. Or maybe you’ve heard it as energy balance. Or “calories in, calories out.”

Let’s break down what it actually means.

Thermodynamics is a way to express how energy is used and changed. Put simply, we take in energy in the form of food, and we expend energy through activities like:
basic metabolic functions (breathing, circulating blood, etc.)
movement (daily-life activity, purposeful exercise, etc.)
producing heat (also called thermogenesis)
digestion and excretion

And, the truth is…
Energy balance (calories in, calories out) does determine bodyweight.

If we absorb more energy than we expend, we gain weight.
If we absorb less energy than we expend, we lose weight.
This has been tested over and over again by researchers, in many settings.
It’s as close as we can get to scientific fact.

Sure, there are many factors that influence either side of this seemingly simple equation, which can make things feel a little confusing:
However, humans do not defy the laws of thermodynamics.

But what about unexplained weight changes? That time you ate a big dinner and woke up lighter? When you feel like you’re “doing everything right” but you’re not losing weight?
Nope, even if we think we’re defying energy in vs. energy out, we’re not.

And what about hormones?
While hormones may influence the proportions of lean mass and fat mass you gain or lose, they still don’t invalidate the energy balance equation.
Yet, it is easy to understand why folks get confused about this.

Stay tuned tomorrow for more about hormones and other factors.

Sometimes it can be so hard to find any motivation to move.

Taking that first step seems next to impossible, let alone doing "enough" to make a dent.

Try this strategy: Make a deal with yourself that you will do something for 10 minutes. A walk, the workout I provided you, a yoga video, anything. Then, if it still sucks, stop. I cannot tell you how often I use this method to get going. About 95% of the time, I do my whole workout. Sometimes I don't and that's ok.

The worst outcome is you at least moved for 10 minutes. The best thing might be you keep going for 20 or 30 minutes.

The key is to not let your inner spud grow roots! 🤣
