Vlog series… first time with We Run Uptown honestly was so fun! I thought running groups were overrated, intimidating, and not fun. Nope. It challenged me to do more than I thought I was capable of.
👉What you’re capable of can far exceed what you think your baseline is.
🤨 But how do you know what that is if you don’t push yourself?
😤 Quitting is not an option. Committing is!
💯 Push yourself to failure. Use your friends/family/fitness group to get yourself to that new baseline.
SHOW UP FOR YOU!

I’m not a proponent of having strictly cardio days. Cardio is always an addition to weight lifting! I always see people on the stairs on the slowest level… don’t go to the gym to waste time!
👉 It’s better to push yourself for a few mins, take a break, and repeat - and slowly you can go longer and faster.
👉cardio strengthens your lungs, heart and blood flow.
👉it burns fat …but don’t forget lifting weights builds muscle & muscle burns more!!
How to start your day right!
SKIP ⏭️ SCROLLING, energy drinks, no food, sitting on the coach, overthinking
These 6 steps will make your body use that healthy morning cortisol in a HEALTHY & productive way.
Morning cortisol is normal, it gets you out of bed.
30mins later though… if you don’t eat, that cortisol throws your hormones off. Which means your brain can’t focus, you have low energy, your muscles/joints are tight, blood flow is slower etc.
