How To Stop Letting That Mom Guilt Stop you from showing up for yourself  How many of you moms don’t think twice about signing your kids up for soccer, dance, swim?  You get the gist, right You have no problems shelling out the money and finding the time to make it work. Shuttling your kids back and forth are just part of your priority list. I totally get this. I have 4 kids myself. It’s VERY easy to put ourselves last.  Because when it comes to us moms, suddenly we don’t have the time to workout. By the end of the day we are wiped beyond belief and can barely function. That’s when we reach for the booze. Then a viscous cycle of depletion and unhealthy habits take over.  The idea of investing any amount of money to ensure proper training, just sounds expensive. We talk ourselves out  of it and convince ourselves we aren’t worth it.  Then what happens to us? We get sick more, have no energy left, feel like complete crap, gai...

I’d like to share a little secret with you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Here it goes... I was embarrassed when someone called me an Entrepreneur. I’m not sure what my hang up with that term was all about. Maybe it was because I assumed Entrepreneurs were in it to just make money and making money was a bad thing. I was under the impression that making a lot of money may be perceived as sleazy and not authentic. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I was told many times you don’t go into the fitness business to make money. I was on board with that idea and accepted it gracefully. I felt very righteous about it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Most “personal trainers” work day and night and barely make ends meet. Or they work another job to supplement their love for fitness.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I wholeheartedly am in this business to literally change peoples lives by showing them what’s possible with their body at any age. I’ve stayed in it because of the impact I’ve had with teaching women how to regain their strength and then some. I continued on this path to help ...

The Kettlebell Snatch is just one of those exercises that can leave many feeling frustrated. There’s a lot going on with these. ⁣ ⁣ I’m a huge fan of this exercise for people who are able to safely carry a bell vertically over head with a full elbow lock out. I’m also a huge fan when the student can keep their wrist straight and have an understanding of the handle placement.⁣ ⁣ 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞-𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐭.⁣ ⁣ 𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 ⁣ 1. 1 Arm Swing ⁣ 2.

 Is muscle the antidote for inflammation? Is it the key to longevity? Is the solution muscle? As we age you can actually be the exact same weight as you were 30 years ago. Here's the difference, if you are not actively putting on muscle, you are actively losing muscle.  "We talk about being over -fat but really the problem is being under-muscled. Muscle is the largest organ of the body...." Dr. Gabrielle Lyon I am not discussing this to scare you or push you in to understanding the value of strength training. I am sharing this information with you because I've seen it time and time again. I know first hand the importance of putting on solid dense muscle tissue to help with inflammation, cortisol levels, hormones, bone density, and much much more as shared in these short clips.
