I wanted to make sure you don't miss this down right effective glute enhancing exercise. Basically Single Leg Deadlift holds on steroids. Not only will this get you a crazy Booty burn, but it will strengthen (yes tone and lift) your glute muscles like no other. ⁣ ⁣ Begin with the support hold as demonstrated in the video below. Make sure youfeel your glutes while rowing the kettlebell. Keep your hips nice and square throughout. Start by hinging your hips as far back as you can go while maintain a nice flat back with your shoulders slightly higher than your hips. ⁣Start with 6-8 reps per side and repeat this for 2-4 rounds depending on how your body feels. ⁣By doing this ONE exercise alone, here are some benefits below in addition to some amazing booty work ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ By doing this ONE exercise alone, here are some benefits below in addition to some amazing booty work ⁣ ⁣ 1.

40 trips around the sun has finally come. If I’m being completely transparent with you, I’ve had a lot of anxiety and mixed emotions leading up to this day. 
Here I am. Heart is pounding as I write this. Because the truth is I’m showing up stronger, fully alive, yet more vulnerable than ever.
I’ve firmly established my identity and earned my place under the sun. Helping more people than ever hunt their goals and turn their dreams into realities. The secret is out. 
This year is going to be better than ever. So much goodness. I can’t wait to share my upcoming projects that will bring transformation to peoples lives. I look forward to strengthening relationships and creating new ones. I will continue to crush my own goals and set new ones. I’ve set the bar high and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 
Here I am at 40. Now stronger both inside and out. Loves more deeply than ever. A believer in impossible things. Comfortable in my own skin. 
No longer feels the need to ask for anyone’s approval…

Are you struggling with Push-ups like 97% of the students who first come to see me are? Do you feel your abdominals engage throughout your push-up? If you're struggling like most of the world, I've created a really SIMPLE free tutorial for you. You can access it right here. 



In the mean time, for my advanced push-up students, give this Push-up variation a whirl. Let me know what you think! 


Sooo I tried a new push up variation this week. 😬 It felt really good! I believe this one is called “Russian Push Ups”. 



It’s one of the many progressions toward the bigger goal I’m finally seriously working towards.

Many of you, who’ve been hanging out with me for awhile, know I’m working towards a big goal. Hello there and welcome if you’re new! 🥰🥰


It’s true, I’ve been told by some, it would be almost too difficult to get to, without getting injured. These words exactly “Because you’re almost 40, you’ve had a few C-sections, and you are NOT a gymnast, it may be next to impossible for you to…

INTRODUCING..... The NO ARM KETTLEBELL SWING!





 I’m so freakin exciting about this exercise and let me tell you why!!!
1. It’s an incredible teaching tool for people who love to use their arms instead of their hips!
2. Since I’m obsessed with showing people how to work around injuries, this is absolutely perfect for people with a broken hand, recovering from shoulder surgery, tends to use their neck due to using their arms too much, and people who fear that they may hurt their shoulder from swings. This takes the arms out 100%!
3. This is perfect for people who squeeze the crap out of the handle too hard. Some don’t know how to relax their grip. Much of this is due to not trusting their hips! This drill will take care of it!
4. Fast self-correction. If you’re not using your hips and following through correctly with an actual Glute SQUEEZE at the top, the bell ain’t goin’ no where. Okay that’s slang for your kettlebell will have NO POWER.

As humans we are hardwired to be around other humans. We are designed to have connection and the sense of belonging. In fact belonging is a huge part of human survival whether you like it or not. Even as an introvert and someone who cherishes having the space to think, just be, and shut my mind off, I've personally experienced the important value of community.

Without getting too sciency on you, multiple studies have shown how hormones such as Oxytocin and Seratonin are the driving force for the need of human connection. I chose to share this important topic with you today because a tremendous amount of people are craving human connection. The beauty of this day and age is you can create connections and find community through in person and online groups.

Before I get in to the top 5 reasons here is one recent example of a couple of students of mine who built community, developed deep connection, and friendship.
