School of Hard Squats

🔥Motivation Monday 🔥

While listening to a podcast this afternoon I heard the host say the most simple yet impactful thing I’ve heard yet today:

“Action creates more action and inaction creates more inaction”

So here I am, sharing this with you to say that it’s always going to be worth it to take that walk, to go exercise, to pick that nutritious meal & to invest in yourself!

If you don’t make the intentional choices to build your own momentum, you aren’t giving yourself a fighting chance be who you want to be.

Let’s get after this week!
💪🏼🤟🏼,

🔥Motivation Monday🔥:How to find it within.

A big chunk of my confidence in my ability to develop a skill or reach a goal has come as a result of experience & growth from navigating challenges both large and small.

If reaching your fitness goals feels intimidating or unattainable, I encourage you to reflect on what other skills you have developed, or goals you have reached over your lifetime & apply it to how you view growth regarding your own health & strength.

We already have the framework within ourselves to accomplish new challenges;
We tend to forget that the same framework can be applied in many other ways & refined even more with time/experience.

🤟🏼💪🏼,
DS

It’s the 1st of November! A new month means new beginnings, a fresh start, and establishing new goals for yourself. Now, let’s kick November’s squat b***y 💥

My fri-YAY face 😄 who’s ready to enjoy eating an unlimited amount of candy this weekend?

Dress code was not squat chic; I understood the assignment

A nutritious spin on a classic favorite! Check out these power packed, Omega-3 & protein pancakes.

I make these pancakes several times a week for many reasons:

• They’re tasty & filling 😋
• High in fiber 🌱
• PACKED with complete protein sources (30g!) 💪🏼
• They’re also loaded with extremely important Omega-3 fats

Why do we care about Omega-3 fats? Not only are they heart healthy, they also reduce inflammation in your muscles from strength training & exercise!

Part of strength training includes tearing your muscles (literally) which DOES cause some inflammation.

It’s a necessary process to build muscle so this is why focusing on a nutrient packed diet is so important!

Recipe:
- 1/2 cup flapjack mix
- 2 tbsp of chia seeds
- 2 tbsp of h**p seeds
- 1 tsp of coconut oil (for skillet)
- Toppings (honey, maple syrup, pecans, etc.)

Mix the seeds with the powder mix and add about 1/3 cup of water. Pour over a hot skillet (medium-high heat) and flip when ready!

Batter will get thick quickly from the chia seeds! Add small amounts of water to dilute if needed.

ENJOY!

Wishing a VERY HAPPY birthday to not just one, but TWO of my clients (turned friends ❤️).

Ironically, when I went to list out their wonderful qualities and characteristics, I realized how similar they are! We love Scorpios!

Rachel- You are so wise, intuitive, compassionate and determined! Your pushups are also BADASS!

Aashini- You are bold, caring, hilarious, and have some killer dance moves in between those STRONG squats of yours!

I hope you enjoy every second of your day and devour some tasty birthday cake! Save me a piece if you’re feeling generous 🤣.

Sunday scaries vs. squat competition, choose your player!

My goal IS to make your fitness journey FUN! It’s not easy to get into a routine and continue fighting for your goals, but I promise it’s worth it.

Everyone loves a good kettlebell workout, right? These things will certainly get those muscles burning. I love to incorporate these into everyone’s workouts because not only are they super effective, but I actually find them pretty fun! Haven’t tried working out with kettlebells? Let me show you the way!
