Have you heard of MELIORISM?? I came across it recently and immediately thought, "this is the approach I try to emulate every day" 🥰✨

Meliorism is the belief that life is never going to be perfect, and that our actions can make it better. It acknowledges that difficult things happen while still believing that what we do, how we show up and how we treat the people around us can genuinely change our experience. 💛

And I think this applies perfectly to movement.

After 25+ years in this industry, I have seen over and over again that the biggest transformations come from the way you continue to care for yourself, even when life is busy or your motivation is nowhere. They come from choosing movement because you know it makes you feel stronger, more capable and more like yourself. 💪🏻🔥

That is meliorism to me. Believing that we have some influence over the life we are creating, and choosing to use that influence through kindness, optimistic persistence, and love.

You may not be able to control everything that happens to you, but you can adjust your reaction, how you rise to meet it, and how you move through it

I LOVE this word. Are you a meliorist too?

I remember a client in her 50's walking into my studio after taking months off from my workouts during Covid. She said she was so tight and in so much pain she thought she'd never dance again - that she was to "OLD." Right. I told her "okay, let's just do some baby steps... some low to moderate impact in small doses" and after 3 months she was back AT IT, dancing, strength training and pushing her VO2 max with full range of motion again and no more pain!! Motion is lotion!! Especially as we get older. And I swear to you, unless you have a significant injury, movmeent and proper training will only IMPROVE your range of motion, bone density, coordination, and alleviate your joint stiffness and muscle pain.

I love this idea because it is a reminder that your body is listening to what you ask of it all day long. You don't need every movement session to be an hour at the gym to give your body something valuable. And honestly, if you can make it FUN, you're so much more likely to keep doing it💃

So put on the song that makes you want to move, let yourself get a little silly, and give your body some movement it can respond to🔥 This is the kind of exercise I will ALWAYS get behind.

Have you added jump training to your day, how did it go for you?? 👀

Can we take the pressure off of protein for a second?? 👀

I love that we are finally talking about protein and recognizing how important it is for strength, recovery and healthy aging, but I think we have swung so far in that direction that we sometimes forget there is an entire world of nutrition beyond one macronutrient💪🏻🥑🥦

Food should nourish you, but it should also be something you genuinely enjoy! You shouldn't have to turn every snack, dessert or meal into a high-protein science experiment to feel like you're “doing nutrition right.”

Protein powder can absolutely be useful, and I use it myself, but I want you to see it as one tool in your toolbox rather than a requirement for eating well.

A nutritious diet is about the bigger picture: getting enough protein while also eating plenty of fiber, healthy fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and a wide variety of foods. 🌱

Drop a 🔥 if you agree!!

We tend to think of fitness in terms of what we can see: muscle definition, body fat, strength. But some of the most important benefits of movement are happening in places you cannot see at all🧠💫

As an former professional dancer, I have always loved that dance asks so much of you physically and mentally simultaneously🔥 You are constantly adapting, coordinating and responding, and that combination is one of the reasons I believe dance deserves a much bigger place in the conversation about lifelong health💃🏻

The way we move today shapes the capabilities we carry into the future, and I want us to think beyond simply getting a good workout. I want us to keep challenging our brains, exploring what our bodies can do and finding movement that makes us feel truly ALIVE. 🥰

Here is what consistent training across decades actually does to a woman's body and brain...

Muscle mass naturally declines at a rate of 3 to 5% per decade after 30, but women who strength train consistently through their 50s show dramatically slower rates of loss and in many cases reverse it entirely!! 💪🏻

Bone density follows the same pattern!! Postmenopausal women who exercise consistently have measurably greater bone density than those who don't!! Which directly determines fracture risk, mobility and independence decades down the line!! 🦴

Then there is the brain!! Research shows that women with high cardiovascular fitness are 80% less likely to develop dementia than those with low fitness!! And aerobic exercise has been shown to physically grow the hippocampus, reversing the memory decline most people accept as inevitable aging!

And perhaps most remarkably, the mental health benefits of consistent exercise actually compound with age!! The longer you have been moving, the more powerfully your nervous system responds to it!! 🥰💫

Are you in your 50s and still moving?? The science says you are doing something remarkable👀

The workouts you have shown up for, the boundaries you have learned to set, the version of yourself you have fought to become!! All of that work deserves to be PROTECTED!!!!!!🔥

And yet so many of us pour that hard won energy straight into jobs that drain us, relationships that exhaust us, obligations that have nothing to do with who we actually are and everything to do with who we thought we were supposed to be...

Your energy is not infinite. It is the most valuable resource you have!! And every single thing you give it to is either building you up or slowly taking something from you!!!✨

The question I keep coming back to is this!! If you had less time and less energy than you have right now, what would you cut first? Because that is probably what you should cut now!! 💛🥰

What is one thing you have let go of that gave your energy back?? Tell me below!💥

I have spent 25 years fighting for cardio in an industry that keeps trying to write it off!! And the research on what it does to your brain has only made me more convinced!! 🧠⚡🌟

The brain changes that come with aging are not inevitable, they are largely a function of how much you are challenging your cardiovascular system. And the women who keep their hearts strong are the ones keeping their minds sharp!! 💛💪🏻

BDNF, the molecule your brain produces every single time your heart rate goes up, does not just slow cognitive decline, it actively grows new brain cells and strengthens existing ones!! Your brain is a living, adaptable system that responds powerfully to how you move🔥✨

Every workout you do this week is either building that protection or leaving it on the table💥

Share this with the woman in your life who keeps skipping cardio!!

No other single activity does what dance does!! And the research proves it🧠💛⚡

The New England Journal of Medicine found that dancing reduced cognitive decline more than every other physical and cognitive activity tested: crossword puzzles, swimming, reading, cycling... Dance beat all of them!!

Then the BMJ analyzed over 14,000 people and found dance reduces depression and low mood more effectively than yoga, running and strength training!! 🔥✨

And aerobic exercise has been shown to physically grow the hippocampus, the memory center of your brain, reversing the shrinkage most people accept as an inevitable part of aging!! 🧬💫

Because dance is the only training that asks your body, your brain, your coordination, your memory and your joy to all show up at the same time!! It is not just a workout!! It is the most complete thing you can do for your entire self!! 🥰🙌🏻

❌Are you making this mistake?? 🫣

Bananas contain an enzyme that breaks down the antioxidants in berries when they’re consumed together!! 😱🍌🫐

Your smoothie is still healthy — but if you’re making berry smoothies for the antioxidant benefits, you might want to skip the banana and focus more on greens next time!
