Kick It With Kelsey

A hard pill to swallow 💊 for the industry, but a necessary one, and a reason I'm so passionate about the menstrual cycle and female reproductive health. It's a gateway to respect and justice.

An end goal of mine is to get public policy and social change through becoming informed about it to respect it, respect women, and keep them safe and included having body autonomy and health justice.

Wellness is not women's friend. It’s a distraction from what really ails us Yoga, manifesting, and may sound empowering. But wellness blames women, sets them up for failure, and hides the real challenges women face.

I didn’t intend to release this on International Women’s Day, but what better alignment 💫🌹❣️👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽

I’m running my own little research project 🤓 and it could turn out to be really big; helping millions of women to improve their reproductive wellness and well-being 🌟

Do you or someone you know experience PCOS symptoms or have been diagnosed with this female hormone disorder?

It's BS that it's 1) allowed and 2) not common knowledge to us on how harmful processed ingredients are to the human body, let alone the human reproductive system.

So here I am coming out of maternity leave {9 months later}, to help the ovaries once again 🌸🧡🌸

Check out my newest blog post for more 🌙🍵 and please share!

PCOS Be Gone!? Alright, alright, alright... If you don't know what PCOS is, here's a quick primer: It's a hormonal disorder medical condition that affects approximately 10% of all women in America which causes...

This study was released yesterday and is soo cool! 🤩

“”These are basic fundamental things you’d think would have been answered 100 years ago.”

Central to their findings was that metabolism differs for all people across four distinct stages of life.

• There’s infancy, up until age 1, when calorie burning is at its peak, accelerating until it is 50 percent above the adult rate.

• Then, from age 1 to about age 20, metabolism gradually slows by about 3 percent a year.

• From age 20 to 60, it holds steady.

• And, after age 60, it declines by about 0.7 percent a year.

Once the researchers controlled for body size and the amount of muscle people have, they also found no differences between men and women.

As might be expected, while the metabolic rate patterns hold for the population, individuals vary. Some have metabolic rates 25 percent below the average for their age and others have rates 25 percent higher than expected. But these outliers do not change the general pattern, reflected in graphs showing trajectory of metabolic rates over the years.”

This information will help us as health and fitness professionals treat, heal, and prevent trauma from excessive dieting, yo-yo diets, fad diets, and more! 😎💪🏼✨

Stay healthy out there,

Looking forward to be serving you again soon!

It’s that time of year again where I cringe at about 50% or more of people running on the streets, paved paths, and sidewalks 😖

I can pick out simple ways to majorly fix running form in less than 5 seconds of watching someone run naturally.

It takes a lot to drop ones ego and admit their running may not be (and probably isn’t) the best thing for them.

to know during this time of year as the weather gets warm is that RUNNING IS NOT THE ONLY FORM OF EXERCISE to be fit, get healthy, or lose weight!!

You don’t have to “be a runner” or even “become a runner” to achieve these things.

2) Your mindset that “cardio first = health and fitness,” is probably hindering your goals more than you think.

3) I have a Breakaway Running program available NOW to help you build a new mindset and foundation with this form of exercise.

You will receive:
💥 68 intermediate workouts (instructional and follow along videos)
💥 Proper warm up, cool down, and recovery tips and tools
💥 Alignment, Posture, and Running Form Training
💥 Resistance and Strength training
💥 Audio tempo runs for outdoor or indoor running
💥 1:1 and team coaching and support along your journey

Save your muscles, joints, mind, and body for $140 👟👟👟 First 3 sign ups receive $10 off 🏃‍♀️🏃🏾🏃🏻‍♂️

I’d say run don’t walk to get started now, but let’s move mindfully into your renewed health and fitness journey 😉❤️

Almost Half of Recreational Runners Get Injured—But That Doesn’t Have to Be the Case While this new research may seem alarming, a physical therapist provides tips for reducing your risk of injury.

In honor of my last month-ish before , I’ll be doing TBTs of little active Kelsey 🙃 Like & Follow this page to stay tuned each week!

Anndd in honor of , here’s my first fitness role model, My 💕💘💖

Really, both of my parents, but here we are doing a 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 workout 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤 stretch 😉👌🏼

I grew up seeing both of my parents be active in every way: rollerblading, jogging, mixed martial arts, gymnastics, volleyball...one of my favorite memories is going to our local bagel shop then going to my future high school track, eat on the bleachers, and run, twirl, and skip laps ☺️👣🥯👟☀️

I just love the thoughtfulness of them pulling the table up, so I can be at the same heigh to stretch my leg with my Mom.

This moment, the 90’s colors poppin, and baby landscape that’s now grown into huge trees give me all the feels 💕🌱❤️💛💙

The life back then was definitely fitness and health.

We made the switch to health and fitness once my Dad got diagnosed with Type II diabetes due to the typical/“standard” American diet (SAD) 🙄, and my Mom got diagnosed with aluminum poisoning.

We started to become a health conscious family by the time I was about 10 years old, learning about organic foods, super foods, glycemic index, toxins, and more.

My Dad reversed his Adult Onset Diabetes by eliminating the daily processed and overly sugared substances in his body, monitoring his blood sugar every morning (I used to prick my finger willingly with him 😆🩸) and changing his diet to whole non processed and refined foods.

My Mom healed and has helped us as a family prevent any further poisoning through us eliminating heavy or excess metals in our diet - including what we cook with and put ON our bodies from deodorant to lotions.

This really is a journey and has become a lifestyle. Stopping or turning back would mean putting our health and literal lives and bodies at risk to a myriad of diseases.

I know not everyone has the privilege I did of growing up with the resources we did to heal and cure ourselves, and that’s why I do what I do now.
