In case you forgot–we've got your back! But we've also got your arms and legs 🤝. Life and fitness are all about maintaining balance and keeping up on mobility and strength should be a full-body affair. Coach Heather's got you covered on legs this week with this quick workout, ready-to-go! You got this, and no– we're not pulling your leg. 😉

Whether you're wanting some extra back support (who isn't?), or looking to fill out a pair of jeans, growing your glutes should be a focus in your fitness. It's common to focus on squats and deadlifts because they target the gluteus maximus– the largest of the glute muscles. BUTT WAIT, there's more! Did you know there are actually three muscles that make up your glutes? 🤯

🍑 Gluteus Maximus
🍑 Gluteus Medius
🍑 Gluteus Minimus

Coach Heather shows you how to target all three in this video, and then head over to our blog for more deets + a 20-minute glute workout! https://bit.ly/3pCqxWd

As Coaches, sometimes we get asked, "I feel like I haven't been seeing results lately, what's up with that?" 😩 Word of the day is: Plateau. Coaches can help by monitoring your results with regular Evolt scans, AND by identifying a plateau early. Coach Heather lays down 7 tips for changing up your routine and busting through that plateau! 📈💯📈

Warming up is as important as working out... is that a stretch?
Everyone knows they should stretch before a workout, although a lot of us still don't. Just 5-10 minutes of stretching before exercise has physical and mental benefits that go far beyond the purple turf—including:
🔄 Improved blood circulation
🤸 More flexibility allowing your body to move more fluidly
🏋️ Better balance and posture
🚑 Reduced risk of injury
💪 Relief from muscle tension and fatigue
🧘 Reduced stress and anxiety What's your favorite stretch before a workout?

Keep your schedule as flexible as you'll be and make time to stretch!

If we were a restaurant this would be a top-seller. Our budding master Chef Ivy lays down a recipe that's so simple a kid can make 'em! These energy balls are the perfect bite-sized snack that will keep you full (thanks to the protein powder and peanut butter) until your next meal! Keep that tank on F and keep truckin', team! 💯

Physical activity releases happy hormones (like endorphins and serotonin) that help us stay balanced and afloat. So make some time and give your brain the hug it deserves. You’re amazing and you deserve to feel amazing! That’s Real AF 💜.
