She Was Told Her Fitness Saved Her Life — And She Didn’t Stop There How LP member Jennifer went from ICU bedrest to pull-ups and RKC certification  Some stories stop you in your tracks. They remind you why you do the work. Why you keep showing up. Why strength is never just about the body. Jennifer’s story is one of those. She’s a mom, a physician, and a longtime member of Lauren’s Playground. But a couple years ago, she faced something unimaginable: a  life-threatening carotid dissection  that landed her in the ICU for 6 weeks on strict bedrest. The fear, the uncertainty, the physical toll — it would’ve been enough to make anyone give up. But Jennifer didn’t. Instead, she rebuilt herself from the ground up. And now? She’s  RKC and StrongFirst certified , banging out pull-ups, training before sunrise, and balancing it all with a demanding career and family life. Her words speak for themselves. I’m honored to share them here. 🗣️  What would you tell someone who’...

Listen up. If I can get strong and my hundreds and hundreds of students can. Many starting at rock bottom, now at the top of their game…. YOU CAN TOO!!!!   Leave a comment or question or your goal below. If you’re too shy send me a DM. Reminder… I was a super late bloomer. I was NOT a gymnast, as I’ve been asked many times lately. I actually laugh because I didn’t begin discovering true strength, until I dove in to Kettlebell training in my 20’s. Despite multiple pregnancies and C sections, I didn’t let that stop me from safely moving forward. I didn’t have a nanny, family near by to help with the kids, I ran my own business, and have been through many set backs in my life, that stopped me dead in the tracks with training. It wasn’t this seamless upward progression. I had to start over again more times than I’d like to admit. Truth??? The basics have SAVED me. The basics allowed me to have mental/physical life set backs and restart without overwhelm. Just in the last few years...

Would you say you're the kind of person that is allergic to just hearing the word "Squat"? Or are you jumping  up for joy excited to get your Squat on? No matter which kind of "squatter" you are, you should know the ideal squat will look different on each individual and at different times of their life. Some people view squats as the ultimate booty lifter and strengthener. While some look at it as an insurance policy to make sure they can continue to get on and off the toilet, without calling for help. Whichever reason you choose to show up and squat, I get it is a personal decision. I think we can all agree that when squatting CORRECTLY and PAIN FREE, they can be a very helpful addition to any fitness program and any aging body. If you WANT to squat, but feel like you CAN'T because of various pains in your either during or after squatting or just all the time, you will want to take a look at these 2 very short video clips I made for you. If you ROCK at squ...

My New Favorite  Workout Format   Pop the sound on to hear the super easy instructions of how to plug and play your 2 exercises of choice. Super excited about this new training format I’ve been playing with! It’s SO SIMPLE but holy cow it works really well! This is a 20 Minute work out and you’re resting most of the time. Don’t get too cocky though… It creeps up on you and it’s super effective. Every Minute on The Minute you will alternate between doing 3 reps of your super challenging exercise and then for the next minute perform 3 reps of your easier to medium exercise. You will do this every minute on the minute for 20 minutes. I chose 3 False Grip Pull Ups and alternated that with 3 Double Kettlebell Front Squats. A few ideas for you Push Ups & Double Kettlebell Deadlifts Pull Ups & Goblet Squats Double Kettlebell Presses & Split Squats (will take up more time) Even if you can’t get 3 reps of your challenging exercise by the end, keep going and do 1 or ...

Care flighted to a Trauma One Hospital where Dionne, highlighted member of Lauren's Playground, was in a horrific deadly car accident. They are lucky to be alive. Please read her story and if you feel at all compelled, here is a GoFundMe page set up to help her with expenses.  Hi Lauren, My spouse and I had flown to AZ to visit her mother on 9/2. We were there less than an hour when we got T-boned by a truck that ran a red ligh t.  Luckily, all of us survived. I've attached pictures just so you can see how amazing that is.   I was care flighted to a Trauma One Hospital and spent 6 days in ICU and 9 days on the Ortho floor recovering.
