Gymshark LA Lift recap 🦈
I’m going to be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve been in an expo type environment. I wanted to show my support to others and honestly had no expectations. I had some of THE best conversations and I was just honored to be able to experience that.
Success is weird because one day you’re fighting for your life and to be honest, I still fight, but the fight changes over time. If you’re willing to shift and challenge your perspective(s) along the journey, you’re able to see the intent of your actions on a different mental capacity. For example, the reason(s) for starting my journey here online, is NOT why I do this now. I had so much to prove to others and I truly cared about who hated me and that alone took up so much of my energy. I look back at those moments and honestly it’s pathetic to me that I let others words control my actions. Obviously, in a moment you may not know better, but at least I’m able to reflect on that and say that for what it is.
Self reflection is interesting because when you’re able to see situations for exactly what they are, you start to analyze positive and negative situations like a puzzle. Finding the right pieces to eventually have a complete puzzle. Every time we fail, or can’t find the right piece, or maybe just don’t feel like investing time into the puzzle, we put off that investment for our future.
My point is this. Sometimes, we just need a little encouragement to do the right thing. It just takes one person to inspire and believe in us for change to potentially happen, and to create that long lasting impact. I found myself so passionately invested in the conversations I had because honestly I really can’t wait to publicly speak on a completely different level. Right now in this moment, my life is quite the chaotic disaster and I can barely remember grabbing my gym bag when I’m going to the gym. Life doesn’t make sense and honestly it never will. In the midst of our own chaos though…we have one job. Kindness. It goes a hell of a long way. Don’t ever forget that. 💙
Also a special s/o to @cherocci46 & Meghan for allowing me to show up as my best self this weekend. This is a team effort over here and we need a whole hell of a lot more help. Love y’all thanks for choosing to do this with me because you don’t have to 💙
The building blocks of becoming your best self is found in your day to day actions. If you can look from within and be honest with yourself..you will figure out exactly what needs to be done. Self improvement is the most underrated action you can take to get ahead.
I filmed yesterday’s leg workout for a YouTube video that will be posted later tonight.
This is one of my favorite exercises to end my workouts with. It’s the perfect movement to target the ham-glute insertion. If you are looking for some tips to target your ham-glute insertion,
then you should check out tonight’s YouTube video. I go over my set up and execution of the 45 degree hip extension.
