We celebrated Lorie’s birthday with a savagely challenging workout today. Minimum 10 exercises, 60 reps each. Some pushed for more than 10 exercises.
Birthday is a great reminder that we can become better and stronger with age

Kelly amped up her side plank to a “feet elevated” side plank while maintaining a straight line from head to toes.
Raising her feet higher than her shoulders forces her body to work harder to maintain stability.
Keep up the core work K! 😘

Happy Monday! I want to share 6 questions I ask myself weekly. These questions help me stay on track: celebrate what I got done and plan things for next week. I also ask my kids these questions just to get them talking or to annoy them 😆

This morning was rough. Was up at 3am to send off my older one to science camp in Boston and at 7:30am drove my younger one to camp, 4 hours of coaching and then more afternoon activities.
Days like this I turn to this mindfulness practice to improve focus and remind myself that everything will be okay.
❇️ Thankfulness: Say what you are grateful for out loud, come to your senses.
❇️ Inspiration: Wake up early, turn off distractions, do something for yourself.
❇️ Meditation: Sit calmly, feel your breath, be kind to your wandering mind.
❇️ Exercise: Move every day, 10k steps.
❇️ Sleep: Evening routine, easy on the caffeine, exercise.

Some of us don’t want to start anything because we think the goal is unachievable. For example, you want to lose weight by running, but you can barely walk up a small hill.
You can start small and build momentum.
Step 1: Get a pair of good running shoes
Step 2: Walk 15 mins a day
Step 3: Increase distance, duration and intensity every week
Once you have momentum, you will no longer have to force yourself to take action.
