Are you so desperate to lose weight that you’re willing to sacrifice your heart, mind & strength? You cannot eat less than a toddler and only lose fat cells. Your brain, muscles, hormones, and bones will pay the price. Stop starving to be smaller. Nourish yourself.

What if I told you that weight is lost in the kitchen, not at the gym?
And what if I told you that you probably need to eat more,
not less? And what if I told you
that the main thing to eat more is protein, and also that carbs aren’t your enemy?

For instance, we’ll be doing a side lunge while bouncing the ball, balancing while performing a simple toss, and stretching while moving the ball around. https://t.co/ddr55Ox0We via @fit2b#arkgroup
A mom came to talk to me after class. She said, “It took me a few minutes to realize you weren’t saying dinosaur names when you were teaching the muscles. I guess I really needed to get out of the house.” Triceratops, triceps. I’m picturing a whole hilarious children’s book now!
Things that might be hindering your diastasis recti include a lack of any of the following:
Sleep, nutrition, motivation, mechanical support, therapeutic hydration, movement strategies, progression, and time. Fix one of those and watch change happen.

PSA: If you ate a lot yesterday, that’s okay. It’s just one day. If you didn’t workout yesterday, that’s fine. It’s just one day. You don’t need to “make up for it” today. Whatever you do the most wins. Carry on, friends.

I knew that parenting teens would have its challenges, but nothing prepared me for the constant petty thievery of my towels, dishes, and dumbbells ☕️

Dear teenagers, your mom may annoy you right now, but just remember there was a time when you wouldn’t even leave her alone to workout. You copied every move and climbed all over her downward dog.

It’s okay for your workout to be imperfect because your workout is where strength and change happens. It’s the practice and the effort that our bodies need, not the actual perfection.

It really is about the journey. As I reflect on all the fitness events I have completed - races, certifications, etc - it wasn’t the “event” itself that did anything for me. It was the training, the learning, the practicing, the studying that shaped my mind & body.

The Body Keeps The Score
Your deep core muscles consist of 4 muscle groups including your pelvic floor, transversus abdominis, multifidus, and diaphragm.
Pelvic floor muscles provide support for reproductive organs and allow voluntary control over our bowel and bladder. Read on.. https://t.co/l8462ZBaYy
Do something amazing for the bottom of your core: Lay down on anything, face up on your back, and do an air squat. Like, put your feet in the air and just chill there. Hold onto your toes or the back of your thighs, or put your feet on a wall. Your pelvic floor will thank you 😉
