Wore my fancy new shorts to class today 😁 They are so cool! One of my favorite people in the world to train brought them back from their recent trip to Thailand. They’re legit! 🤩
thanks Bill and ! ❤️❤️❤️

Would love to see you there!
Wanna see me die while I do 50 jump squats with a tight horrible cloth band around my knees? 🥵 (This is dedicated to everyone I torture...I mean...train....lol. See?! I get tortured/trained too! 😅)
I have been working really hard on regaining my strength and power after so many injuries on the left side. These jump squats aren't as high as I want them to be, and I'm still working on stability but I feel like I've come a long way. I know all of these "torture" exercises are going to help me with my Muay Thai and dance training so it's worth it.
If you are recovering from an injury, buckle down and get the work done when your doctor/PT gives you the ok! Stay diligent not just with the big fun stuff, but with the physical therapy exercises, stretching, and foam rolling too! It will pay off faster than you think.
PS huge shout out to for pushing me to do more than I believe I can do every session. Love you even though I give you all the attitude lol ♥️🤗

😴Sleep!😴 We know it's important...but it's really hard for some of us to get enough of it! 🛏️
If you feel low energy throughout the day, run out of steam quickly during your workouts, or feel like you aren't gaining strength from your training, lack of sleep could be holding you back!
I notice a huge difference in how I perform in both workouts and every day life when I really work at getting enough sleep. It's not easy but it's worth it!

Have you ever tried yoga? It's one of my favorite ways to recover from Muay Thai or dance. It has also been a helpful part of my healing process for injuries and trauma.
