It’s anything but fun, but if you want a nice little finisher but are short on time…don’t sleep on some form of sprints (Assault Bike, Rower, etc.), even if it’s only for a few minutes!

Yesterday I had a little time left before working with a client, and this one never fails.

0 - 1:00 | Slow and steady, just getting started.

At the 1:00 mark, 100% effort for 15-20 seconds. Easy movement, with no stopping, for the remaining 40-45 seconds.

At the top of every minute, repeat the sprint.

After a few minutes, you won’t mind being finished regardless of how much time you have left 😆🤙🏼

Good luck 🫡

For myself, this season of motherhood has been awesome in so many ways. Hard of course too, but such sweet moments I’ve been able to experience the last few months.

It’s also affected my capacity.

My current lifting plan isn’t my all-time favorite right now, but it’s absolutely what I need and what works FOR me to help me be consistent.

“Just start going to the gym.”

I think it can be a little frustrating when people talk about making changes to your fitness and health in a tone that makes it sound like it’s easy and no big deal.

Realistically, for many people, making a change to better your (general) health IS simple.

It’s just not easy. Especially when it comes to the consistency that’s required, and on what level of “new” this category of change would be for you.

I can empathize with anyone in this situation by imagining if I were to take up something like plumbing—I couldn’t know less about the topic and it would be massively overwhelming on my brain.

If you are looking to improve your fitness and health, but don’t know where to start, there’s ONE major piece of advice that I would offer.

Rather than trying to overhaul your entire life and take up lifting three days a week, cooking six days a week, and going from 2k to 10k steps every day, pick ONE thing you can work on.

Make ONE small, simple change. Choose something that’s very achievable for you.

Do it for a month or even more. Then stack it and build ONE more thing from there.

Maybe the first scenario I described is what you picture as your someday “optimal” situation.

But OPTIMAL is always evolving. Our circumstances change. Capacity ebbs and flows. Motivation is a dicey thing to depend on.

What worked best for you in your 20s or 30s may be a completely different story today.

If you want to better your health, make boring, small changes one at a time. Play the long game and let go of the all or nothing approach that it’s all too easy adopt.

Change IS hard, and that’s fine. Most of the things worth investing in are hard to some degree. And how fulfilling to see yourself progress and grow.

Now that we have established some new rhythms with our growing family, I am looking to add a couple of clients on at twice per week!

Working together, we will:
⭐️ Take a look at your story
⭐️ Establish where you’d like to go
⭐️ Set realistic expectations and goals
⭐️ Make a roadmap to get there

As your trainer, I’ll work to both push and support you every step of the way.

Shoot me a message on my page today to get the process started! 🤙🏼

What is your go-to combo for smoothies when you use vanilla protein?

I ran out of my chocolate whey and just had vanilla left.

I often use vanilla for a couple snack recipes I like, but as you can imagine from the title I chose… this combo of milk, banana, mixed berries, and vanilla protein distinctly reminds me of both the look and taste of the Pepto-Bismol I had growing up.

Needless to say, not my favorite flavor 😂 So I’d love to hear a better alternative.

(Disclaimer just to cover my bases, no actual pepto-bismol included here 🙂‍↔️)
