Foundation Strength and Mobility

After working around multiple soft tissue injuries for several years and then going completely off the rails with my training and nutrition after the baby arrived I looked at myself in the mirror one day and knew something had to change. First things first, I went through physical therapy to resolve all the injuries I’d been harboring and as I was completing that rehab I got in touch with Krista Large - Nutritionist] to talk about how she could help me get back on track and stay that way. I committed to her 90 day program and along the way reestablished a consistent routine with my training, in addition to developing some simple healthy habits around nutrition. All of that culminated in a shift in lifestyle that is consistent and sustainable with the outcome that at almost 42 years old has me feeling the healthiest I’ve ever been. I cannot recommend her program strongly enough if you are in a place where you know something needs to change but you’re going to need some outside accountability to make it happen!

Shoutout to my client .outdoors for completing his 90 day program and also finishing it off with his first half marathon.

I encouraged Joel to take action on one of his bucket list items which was running!

Joel started working with me at 207 pounds and weighted in last week at 189 (18 pounds) at 19.7% body fat.

Joel also radically changed his eating and kicked a late night sugar habit that haunted him for years.

Please give it up for Joel! Joel, I am so proud of you!

Checked another goal off the list this morning!

Group training sessions starting back up tomorrow, 10/21. Noon here in Greatwood. Message me if you’d like to join, limited spaces available.

About a month ago I had the pleasure of sitting down with Guy Duplantier from the podcast and recording an episode. We talked fitness, hunting, and conservation among other things. Give it a listen if you feel so inclined.
