Wellness Wednesday š
Sheās almost 81ā¦
No wheelchair. No cane. Still showing up.
And this didnāt happen overnight.
Sheās been training with me for over 20 yearsāand what youāre seeing is the result of consistency, community, and choosing health again and again.
This is why I do what I do š
Not quick fixes.
Not ābefore & afters.ā
But real life⦠long-term strength, independence, and confidence.
Because itās not about just adding years to your lifeā
itās about adding life to your years.
If youāve been waiting for the āright timeā to start⦠this is your sign.
š Youāre not too late
š You donāt have to be perfect
š You just have to begin
Tag someone who thinks itās ātoo lateā to start š
And give her some ā¤ļø for 20+ years of consistency.

āI donāt exercise for fun.ā
And I know that might sound harsh⦠but for me, itās the truth.
Because with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, movement isnāt optional.
Itās not about:
⨠looking a certain way
⨠hitting a number on the scale
⨠or even feeling motivated
Itās about managing my body⦠every single day.
There are days I donāt feel like it.
Days Iām tired.
Days it would be easier to skip.
But Iāve learned this the hard way:
š When I donāt move⦠I feel it.
š When I stay consistent⦠everything works better.
My energy.
My circulation.
My strength.
My mindset.
So no⦠I donāt do it for fun.
I do it because I get to take care of my body.
I do it because I have to.
And I do it because I know what happens if I donāt.
And I use it to help others.
And hereās what I want you to know š
You donāt need to wait for motivation.
You just need to decide that your health matters enough to show up anyway.
š Whether itās 20 minutes or 5⦠it counts.
If you needed this reminder today, comment āSHOW UPā or send me a message ā Iāll help you get started.

This is what REAL training looks like š
Not just going through the motionsā¦
But building strength, balance, and control in one workout.
š„ Squat pivot + knee out (x2)
ā hips, glutes, and stability (this is HUGE for injury prevention)
š„ Squat hold + calf raise + single arm row
ā total body + balance + posture
This is how we train smarter:
āļø Multiple muscle groups
āļø Functional movement
āļø Strength that actually carries into real life
And the best part?
You donāt need hours⦠just intention.
š Save this to try later

If your glutes arenāt changing⦠this might be why š
One dumbbell. Zero excuses.
Iāve done a lot of glute work over the years, and this combo still humbles me š
Hereās what makes it different:
š Placing the dumbbell behind the knee forces your glutes to stay engaged the entire time
š Your core has to stabilize every single movement
š No rushing ā just slow, controlled reps that actually work
8ā10 reps each move. Feel it.
This is the kind of workout that looks simple⦠but works fast š„
š Save this for your next workout

Wellness Wednesday š
One of the most rewarding parts of what I do isnāt just the workoutsāitās the people.
In the same room, I see:
⢠Someone just starting their journey, already feeling more energy after 2 months
⢠Someone 6+ years in, stronger than ever and showing up for her family in a bigger way
Different paths. Same commitment.
What makes the difference isnāt perfectionāitās consistency and community.
When people feel supported, challenged, and encouraged⦠they keep showing up.
And thatās where real change happens.
š Grateful to build something that impacts not just healthābut everyday life.

Can I be honest?
If nothing is working⦠youāre not the problem š
Youāre doing the workouts.
Youāre trying to eat better.
Youāve followed programs before.
But your energy is still low.
Your weight isnāt budging.
Something just feels off.
Thatās because most plans are generic, but your body isnāt!
Inside my 60-Day Metabolism Reset, I do things differently:
⨠Testing to see what YOUR body actually needs
⨠Targeted workouts (not random routines)
⨠A personalized plan so you stop guessing
This isnāt another cookie-cutter program.
Itās built around YOU.

This number matters more than the scale.
Your resting heart rate (RHR) is one of the clearest indicators of your overall health ā not just your fitness.
It tells us how hard your heart has to work⦠just to keep you alive.
š” The lower (within a healthy range), the more efficient your heart is.
Hereās why that matters:
When your resting heart rate improves:
āļø Your heart pumps more blood with each beat (stronger heart muscle)
āļø Your body uses oxygen more efficiently
āļø You recover faster from workouts (and life stress)
āļø Youāre putting LESS strain on your cardiovascular system daily
And hereās what most people donāt realizeā¦
š You can be āskinnyā and still have a poor resting heart rate
š You can be āfit-lookingā but not actually heart-healthy
Thatās why the scale doesnāt tell the full story. Thatās also why I have clients and classes wear heart rate monitors.
ā¤ļø A healthy general range:
Most adults: 60ā80 bpm
Well-trained individuals: 50ā60 bpm (or lower)
And YES ā you can improve it.
How we do that:
āļø Consistent strength training (builds efficiency)
āļø Cardio that challenges you (like spinning š)
āļø Daily movement (not just workouts)
āļø Sleep + stress management (huge for heart health)
This is exactly what we focus on in class and on my appā¦
Not just burning calories ā
but building a heart that supports you for LIFE.

Most people arenāt stuck because they donāt have timeā¦
Theyāre stuck because they havenāt made themselves a priority yet.
5 minutes counts.
A short workout counts.
One better choice counts.
It doesnāt have to be perfect.
It just has to be consistent.
Stop waiting for the right time.
Stop waiting for more motivation.
Start showing up.
š Youāre worth that.
š Save this for the days you feel ātoo busyā
