Been doing the same workout program for a while but not seeing any results?

Maybe it's you and not the workout 👀Yep I said it.

If you are just showing up every day, that isn't enough. You have to not only show up, but you have to do the work. You have to try and you have to put in effort.

❓So what does that look like? Dripping in sweat? Not necessarily.

⭐️It looks like this
👉🏼Actively moving through your exercises. Creating mind muscle connections and visualizing how your muscle is performing the movement.
👉🏼Finding the weight/the tempo/the range of motion that challenges you. Been using 10s for a while? Grab the 12s, see how it feels.
👉🏼Discipline. Commitment. Determination. No one ever said it was going to be easy or wouldn’t take time. You have to work even when you don't want to. That doesn't mean just taking the class or doing the workout. It means performing it as well.

💥If you wait to be motivated, you might be waiting a while to see your results.💥

It’s hard to hear but somebody’s gotta tell ya.

🏋🏻‍♀️Need someone to help get you the results you are looking for? I got you. Send me a message and let's chat about how to keep you on track.

Would you be willing to invest the same amount of money from ONE mornings coffee into an ENTIRE months worth of workouts?

is the workout program for woman looking to build their strength for everyday life and embrace their inner athlete. It’s flexible, easily accessible and can be done in the gym or at home!

⭐️⭐️Top 5 reasons to join⭐️⭐️
1️⃣Track your progress from month to month and rate your workout!
2️⃣Accountability and check in’s from me as your coach!
3️⃣Video demonstrations + in app timer that guide you through the workout!
4️⃣Easily accessible and can bring anywhere! Complete it at home, in the gym, on vacation, etc!
5️⃣Flexibility to complete the workout on YOUR time!

👉🏼Are you ready? All you have to do is . For your first month I’m offering you an entire months worth of workouts for just $5. That’s less than a grande pumpkin spice latte.

🌟If you’re ready to commit to yourself, hit the link in my bio and use code LETSGO to start . I can’t wait to see you crush these workouts 🏋🏻‍♀️

But in all seriousness, if you want to lose body fat don’t over complicate it.

👉🏼You can lift weights, you can build strength and you can increase muscle WITHOUT getting bulky.

👉🏼Remember that cardio may burn a lot of calories in the moment but that’s it. Once your done, the calorie burn is also done. Strength training may not give you the highest calorie burn during your workout, but your muscles will continue to work and burn after.

👉🏼Focus on what you are putting into your body. You don’t have to track all of your macros, but you should be aware of what’s going in the same way we obsess on what is going out (calorie burn).

👉🏼If you want to start tracking your nutrition, start by focusing on your total calories and protein intake to start.

👉🏼But also. Let’s remember that no matter how many crunches we do, we aren’t going to get a six pack by doing them.

👉🏼And also. Your calories should probably be higher than what that nutrition tracking app who has no information about your lifestyle is generating for you.

Just a thought 🙃

One final reminder, these journeys aren’t always easy but you are not alone. If you want some support and guidance along the way, I got you 👊🏼

If I don’t put it out there and down in writing, I won’t keep myself accountable to stick to training, so here it is: I’m running the virtual fairytale challenge (10k + half marathon in one weekend!) in February!

Here’s what my training is going to look like:

🧘🏻‍♀️Monday - active recovery day - walk, mobility/stretching or light yoga
🏋🏻‍♀️Tuesday - Pappas Fit Lower Body Strength
🏃🏻‍♀️Wednesday - 30 minute run
🏋🏻‍♀️Thursday - Pappas Fit Full Body Strength
🏋🏻‍♀️Friday - Pappas Fit Upper Body Strength
🏃🏻‍♀️Saturday - medium distance run
🏃🏻‍♀️Sunday - long distance run

👉🏼 since the 10k + half marathon are back to back, I want to mimic this in my training and get myself used to that feeling!
👉🏼 if I need a second rest day, I’ll take it on Thursday and make Tuesday + Friday both full body strength days.
👉🏼 it’s been over a year and a half since I’ve run consistently so I’ll be starting with VERY short distances and working myself up to the 6.2 + 13.1 miles!
👉🏼 no time goals here. Just wanna stick to a training plan and enjoy it!
👉🏼 making myself post an update once a week on training even if I’m the only one reading it. The public accountability is for myself 😊

Really just hoping on this Monday that the mums I put in my front planters don’t die by the end of the week. That and that I stick to my training routine this week 😬

I knew being a mom it would be tough to stick to my training. Some weeks I hit every workout and sometimes I hit none. Honestly perfectly ok with it but still want to find a way to balance that out a little more. So here’s what I am doing to help my training schedule:

👉🏼looking at the week ahead of time and preparing for anything out of the ordinary
👉🏼scheduling my workout time into my agenda
👉🏼being ok with getting in 30 min vs 45-60 min
👉🏼using the Pappas fit app to make sure my workouts stay focused and efficient

Now if anyone with a green thumb out there wants to give me some fall gardening tips, I’m all ears. 👂🏼

I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom 😎

👻Now that I have a child I can go trick or treating again right?? 🍭Hope so because I’m dressing up as Regina George’s mom and bringing my tote with me to collect allllll the candy 😊

But actually.. this tote makes me even cooler. With the pockets in all the right places, this bag was perfect to take pumpkin picking today 🎃 and fit everything I needed for Vincent, Joel and myself! Swipe for a family pic 🥰
