My favorite post workout snack 😋

Crunch Bars never fail to hit the spot. The perfect macros for a post workout refuel, or simply a healthy snack.

Think of them like a delicious fudge or peanut butter rice crispy treat 😆

Happy International Women’s Day

I have the privilege of training bad ass boss ladies every single day. They inspire me to be better and want more.

We need this day as a reminder that there is still inequality and a gender gap. Surround yourself with women who will uplift and remind you to strive for more, because we deserve more.

I’m grateful to my clients, my coworkers, and all of my female friends for leveling up 🙌🏽 love you all 💕

So happy to announce I’m part of the family 💪🏽💥

From their protein oats & pancakes, to their powders & bars, I’m always reaching for Rule One to support my protein intake.

Hit me up with any questions about the products. Let’s get that protein in Fam 🙌🏽

In 6 months a lot can change 🙌🏽🔥💪🏽😍🥲

So proud of this client. Each of these photos were taken 3 months apart. You can see the drastic differences between 1 and 2, and the subtle shape changes in 3.

What did she change about her lifestyle to achieve this?

-Better sleep quality 😴 she used to sleep with her blinds open letting in all the city light. We closed those and also restricted her bedtime phone 📱 usage.

-4 days a week of strength training 💪🏽 She committed to this. Barely ever missed a session and worked hard while she was there.

-Increased protein intake to around her goal body weight, and paid closer attention to fat and carb grams.

THATS IT!!!!!!! I repeat that’s alllllllllllll

Her water intake was already phenomenal so we didn’t need to touch it.

I also want you to note that she hasn’t even added cardio in yet 🤯 that’s right folks…NO CARDIO

Can’t wait to see what the next 6 months will bring when she does her cardio homework 😉

So proud of you!!! Thank you for being so dedicated and working incredibly hard in our sessions together. Can’t wait to continue on your fitness journey with you 🤗💕thank you for trusting me 🙏🏽

If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough. -Oprah

Feeling grateful for what is mine 🤗

Do it because it’ll make you happy✨

When making big decisions about my life, business and relationships, I’ve gotten so caught up in worrying about what others will think.

But I realized, it doesn’t matter.

You confide in and seek guidance from those who are important to you. Everyone else will make assumptions based on their personal biases and life experiences.

Don’t let the fear of others opinions hold you back from what’s right for you.

Resetting your goals? Do it for you, not for others. What matters at the end of the day is what will leave you feeling fulfilled and happy 🤗

My clients confide in me a lot, which makes me feel so honored 🙏🏽 Sometimes they’re asking opinions about making changes to their lives. I will always support, as long as it’s healthy. Sometimes they worry about the judgements their friends may put on them. But at the end of the day, your choices impact your life, not theirs. You have to go home to you at night. That’s the person we’re going to focus on fulfilling.

Make the decisions for yourself this year, no one else 💕

Less is more with your workouts🏋🏽‍♀️

If you feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsure of what you’re doing in the weight room, simply go back to the basics.

A squat (knee dominant) will always be a great place to start for your leg day. Then get into your deadlift or thrust (hip hinge). Follow this up with single leg variations of your knee dominant (split squat, lunge), and hip dominant (single leg deads, single leg thrusts or bridges).

Add abduction and adduction into your warmup (lateral band walks, Copenhagen planks etc) and you’re good to go!

Sometimes when we don’t have a program to follow, we can feel like we’re drowning in all the choices out there of exercise variations.

If this ever happens to you, take a deep breath, go back to the basics and write yourself out a program for that day.

If you have absolutely no idea what the exercises are that I’m referring to above 👆🏽I would highly suggest hiring a trainer🤗

Treat your body with the same respect you would treat your hair or skin. Never would I ever attempt to give myself a haircut or a facial 😆 that’s what professionals are for 🙋🏽‍♀️

Peep my story for a simple example of a leg day 🍑

What’s your FAV leg day exercise?? Comment below 👇🏽

What it looks like when you get 8 hours of sleep consistently for a week 😆😴 Sleep Tips!

How much do you think about your sleep? How much do you think it impacts your goals, productivity and mood?

A LOT!!!!

I’ve been talking about sleep lately with some of my clients having difficulties falling asleep and staying asleep. So here are some simple tips to help you get your restful Zzzzzs.

-Stop screen time 30 minutes prior to your bedtime. I use the sleep alarm on my iPhone, and I have it automatically set to go on do not disturb at 30 minutes prior. Then I get ready for bed 🪥 and read 📖 until I fall asleep.

-Blinds closed 🌃 lights off. If your humidifier or white noise machines have little blue lights on them, cover them with a towel.

-White noise machine and/or leave your AC fan ON, not auto. This will help drown out any outside noise and keep your air circulating all night.

-Sleep COLD 🥶 my AC is programmed to start dropping towards optimal sleeping temp at 8 pm. So by the time I crawl in bed it’s freezing. I love it 🥰 snuggle time.

-Sleep Mask…the best: Mzoo on Amazon. Keeps the light out, keeps your lids shut, also comfy soft.

-Sleep naked. There have been so many studies done on this. It’s science y’all. Leave the PJs on the floor and enjoy your soft sheets. (If you don’t have good sheets, it’s time to upgrade!!!!)

-Stop eating 1-2 hours before bedtime. Ideally 2, but I realize everyone’s schedule is different. Do the best you can here to allow your body time to digest before you lay down.

I have created all of these sleep habits over time. I didn’t master them all at once. But man have they changed my life.

The most important thing here is that I have bedtime habits and rituals. I don’t think of them that way because this is just part of my day now.

Pick a few of these habits (or all of them!!!) and try them out for a couple weeks 🤗
