I’m not afraid to admit that…

1️⃣ I have generally stuck with the same exercises over the years. Growth doesn’t come from “shocking the muscle”, it comes from consistently pushing your body close to it’s current limit.

2️⃣ I use really light weights for some exercises, and really heavy weights for others. If you’re using the same dumbbells for your whole workout, you’re likely not getting much out of it. Bigger, stronger muscle groups need heavier weights to challenge them.

3️⃣ I sometimes cut my workouts short if I run out of time or energy. That’s life. I don’t need to be perfect in the gym to make progress.

4️⃣ I don’t always feel like working out, but I ALWAYS feel good about it afterward. Those times when I don’t feel like it are often the times I need it most- great mental health boost!

Why am I sharing this?

Because lifting weights shouldn’t stress you out about what exercises to choose or sticking to a perfect schedule.

⚡️ It should make you feel energized, strong, and positive.

If you’re not there yet, maybe shifting your mindset will help!

The benefits of lifting weights go far beyond changing how your body looks! 🙌🏻

Teachers: you don’t have time to waste when it comes to working out!

Want to actually build muscle and strength when you make time to lift weights?

Here’s your 4-step plan to get more from your workouts:

1️⃣ Go in with a plan. Wandering around the gym using whatever machine is open is not an effective approach. Know what you’re doing before you get to the gym.

2️⃣ Challenge yourself. Choose a weight that will get you close to FAILURE every time. If a set isn’t very challenging, that set won’t likely cause a change in your body. If you are aiming for 10 reps of a movement and you can get all 10 without struggling, it’s time to increase the weight.

3️⃣ Record your work. Keep notes on what sets, reps, and weights you use for each exercise so you can track your progress and continue pushing yourself. Otherwise it’s like starting over every time you workout.

4️⃣ Recover like you mean it. When you push yourself hard enough to create change in your body, you NEED proper recovery. Allow at least a day before you work the same muscles again, fuel up, hydrate, and get adequate sleep before your next workout. This is where the actual growth happens!

You don’t need to spend hours in the gym each day to see results. Just follow these steps and watch your body change!

I’m trying to remember to slow down and appreciate the things that make life feel good

5 things I’m grateful for this week:

1️⃣ The opportunity to take a few trips this summer and experience new things- It might have slowed my business down a bit, but it’s one reason I wanted my own business to begin with

2️⃣ My 10 years in public education that gave me great friends and the experience needed to help so many educators now- While it didn’t turn out to be my lifelong career, those experiences shaped my life today

3️⃣ Jessie- she’s the most dedicated, passionate, and supportive partner I could ever ask for

4️⃣ My family, who continue to support and encourage me in ways big and small

5️⃣ A wonderful group of clients who trust me with a very personal part of their lives, and often become friends!

Gratitude has a way of helping to keep things in perspective, and I’m working on doing more of that

Life will never be perfect, but it’s pretty great when we’re paying close enough attention

👇🏻 Tell me one thing you’re grateful for this week… I want to hear it!

Most people aren’t “stuck” in their weight loss journeys due to a lack of supplements or morning routines

They’re stuck because they haven’t mastered the fundamentals that actually help reach and maintain a healthy weight

For my clients, this means focusing on:

👉🏻 Prioritizing protein at most meals

👉🏻 Sleeping 7-8 hours every night

👉🏻 Moving throughout the day

👉🏻 Building strength and muscle with weight training

👉🏻 Drinking enough water to stay properly hydrated

When you commit to doing these consistently, they stop feeling like a job and start to feel like another normal part of your day

Until the basics are automatic, no new trick or tool will save you from frustration

So instead of chasing the next big hack, focus on mastering the fundamentals

Your future self will thank you!

👇🏻 Which one of these do YOU need to focus on this week?

13/08/2025

I’m doing these things now so future me will say “I’m glad I…” instead of “I wish I…”😉

👀 I’ve seen first hand how our health can either improve or deteriorate in a compounding way, so I’m taking steps to ensure that I can enjoy a healthy and happy retirement (eventually)

👉🏻 Which one speaks to you most? Let me know in the comments!

I just got home from an amazing trip that showed me what I have really been working for.

I have been grinding in my home gym lifting weights 4-5 days each week along with running 3-4 days.

I set some lofty fitness goals for myself this summer, and I haven’t reached them yet. I was feeling a little down about that fact, until we took this trip.

We hiked, ran, and climbed in Big Sur for a few days. There were times I was tired. There were even times I was sore from all the physical activity, but it felt amazing to be able to experience those things and see those sights with my wife.

We never hesitated or thought, “This might be too challenging” or “Are you sure we can do this?”

It was always “Let’s go!”

Here’s the lesson I took away:

👉🏻 It’s nice to feel good about the way you look, the number on the scale, or your mile time, but those will never compare to the feeling of being unlimited and independent in your ability to move and experience the world.

If you’re not quite there right now, there’s still time.

If you feel great right now, be sure to continue taking care of yourself to enjoy that freedom long into your future!

Have you had a similar experience? Tell me about it!👇🏻

Sometimes we get so fixated on watching the number on the scale that we miss other signs of success!

When you eat well, exercise, and take care of yourself, there are all sorts of “side effects” that greatly improve your quality of life, too.

So if you’ve been doing the “small things” and wondering if the effort is worth it,

Take a look at what “side effects” you’re experiencing to help you decide
