I SHOULD DO A BUNCH OF CARDIO TO MAKE UP FOR MY TRIP WHEN I GET BACK, RIGHT? . . NOPE! Carry on as normal through your program. Take a week to reload, get used to weights again, and get back on the food. Nothing special is necessary after a trip except maybe stretch your hips after the sitting, drink extra water to debloat and use your week off to hit the new week hard. I can't wait to deadlift and hit legs today!

I FEEL GUILTY RESTING THOUGH! First off; You shouldn't! You NEED to rest up between workouts in order to grow and recover. If youre in a CONSTANT state of repair...your poor muscles don't have time to grow bigger...which is negating your entire goal of both strength and muscle growth! You don't grow DURING your workout, you grow while you RECOVER from them. If you simply MUST move, walk, bike, jog, get sweaty in bed....Something light to get the heart pumpin' I will be on a trip to the desert this Friday and Im told wifi is spotty...I will be updating as I can, but if I can't I might send y'all a little something to your inbox as a thank you for you patience ;) Be great this week!

When you notice the cut is workin always gives you a little more motivation! Tips for cutting: - lots of water! - high protein - lots of veggies - extra walking It's really not too complex ... decrease intake and increase energy output. Let's get hot for summer ☺️

130#----->165#------->145#. 2017 to 2021. I was undereating by almost 800 calories when I first started lifting, then I was competitively powerlifting in the 148-165# weight class. Now....we maintain, we float, we strength train and err on the side of bodybuilding. Sometimes it just takes awhile to find where you want to be and what shape makes you happy. I was never unhappy with any of these shapes and have enjoyed the entire process 💗🔥 Happy Monday 😁

HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD I DRINK? Water supports fat loss, clear skin, appetite/feeling satiated and general health and wellness. 1-2 gallons a day is a great range, and yes, you're gonna wee...a lot! If you're running more clear, that's a good sign you're closer to drinking enough 😘💦 I carry this monster around with me and drink 1.5-2 of them a day!

If you're feeling lost amid the insta-workouts and products....just hammer the basics. You can't go wrong with a basic push, pull, squat, and hinge. Keep it simple 😁😘💋

One workout won't make you fit, just like missing one workout won't make you fat. STOP obsessing over perfection and focus on CONSISTENCY. Just keep showing up for yourself! Schedule your workouts and treat them like an important meeting with yourself. You wouldn't blow off your boss, would you? So don't blow off yourself.

ITS JUST SO OVERWHELMING TO START A NEW DIET AND EXERCISE ROUTINE! Then do one at a time! Don't try to overhaul your entire life overnight. Try and start going for a daily walk or tracking your protein intake. Start some small at home workouts for bring your lunch to work instead of getting takeout. Don't try to run a marathon your first day of training...be kind to yourself 🥰

Your exercise should bring SOME type of joy, satisfaction, excitement.... SOMETHING that makes you happy. I could never do back hip pullovers as a little kiddo in gymnastics...now here we are quite some time later with the strength and understanding. Work hard, play hard 💓❣️ Go have fun training today!

No use in looking back at a crappy week. It's the start of a new one, new intentions, new meals, new beginnings of new habits. Don't look BEHIND 🍑, unless it's at your own nice butt 😊

BUT FITNESS FEELS LIKE A CHORE, ITS HARD AND TIME CONSUMING! Yeah...so is anything worthwhile. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Be different, be dedicated, be focused. Its okay to fall off here and there for a couple days, but staying on track for the long haul is where the results lay. Make sure you're prepared for tomorrow, whether that means you got some food together for work, packed your gym bag or set your alarm(s). Set your intention for the week and lets GO!

I sure wish I lost fat in my midsection first, but...it's almost always last!! We can't choose where we lose fat, but we can stick to a calorie deficit and watch the changes happen...like a lil crazy vein 😚😜

Hi! Theres a LOT of new faces here and I figured I do a lil intro. I'm a 29 year old independent personal trainer for the last 6 yrs. I had NO background in sports, wellness, or fitness in any matter, then found powerlifting. I live in Chicago with my sweet black cat. I love travel, strength training, espresso, skin care, nail art and Stardew Valley. If I could be whatever I wanted, I would be a barista again! I've been to 13 countries and counting, and hopefully will hit a few more in 2022. Bali, Turkey and Iceland have been a few favorites. Ill try anything once, even the pig intestine boiled in bl00d, a local dish in Ubud. I hope you have a LOVELY beginning to your week and don't be shy to hit my messages for tipped private chats! XOXO

BUT I JUST WANT TO TRAIN FOR AESTHETICS I would say most athletes look pretty darn good, wouldn't you? As a normal, chubby little kid without freaky Olympian genetics...you're probably better off creating some performance based goals. Someone who deadlifts 315# doesn't have a small butt or twiggy lower body 😜 Try building some goals, like 10 pull ups, squatting your bodyweight, running a faster mile...you get the idea💡

Success is rarely an accident. Plan, execute, rinse repeat. If your diet is to be successful, you need macro goals and a plan. If your business is to be successful, you need to pinpoint what you offer and create a product. If your exercise is going to build your body the way you need, you need a program to adhere to. Stay the course, even through the weekend ♥️

Building muscle takes concentrated time, effort and intensity. Just because you're consistent, doesn't mean you have the necessary INTENSITY behind your workouts. Not every single rep should be GRUELING, but the last couple should be pretty tough. If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you. What are you training today?

I JUST KEEP PICKING APART MY FLAWS, HOW ARE YOU SO CONFIDENT?! Confidence is built over time! None of us are perfect, not even Kardashians and their extensive photoshop. My skin breaks out, I get bloated, I have "bad mirror" days...but those are all temporary. Aesthetic goals take consistency and time...so use that time to build your positive self worth 😋😊💕

I WANT A SMALLER WAIST! HOW DO I GO ABOUT THAT? Bodybuilding is just visual tricks! As someone with a naturally blocky waist, I built my upper body to make my waist appear smaller. I'm just trying to turn into the letter X LOL. We can't fix our waists unless we remove a rib or two maybe...Sometimes you've just got to work with the genetics and anatomy you were born with. There's no use in swimming upstream or fighting your own body. I hope you have a great lift and great day :)

With a couple of small trips planned for spring, I'm ready to get these cheeks into some sunshine! Did you know Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin? That's why its so important on general bl00d panels. Even if its a 15 minute walk outside in your concrete jungle or farm town, everyone needs a little sunshine to stay happy and healthy!

GET YOUR STEPS IN! While many work from home right now, daily step counts are LOW. Like 1-3k low when we aim for 10k. I struggle with it too! You have a few options: buy a treadmill, take 4 short walks a day, take 1-2 long walks a day or find yourself a little nature to hike. Missing beautiful Portland 👄

I RUINED MY DIET AND ATE SOMETHING BAD ON A MONDAY. WHAT DO I DO?! IS MY WEEK RUINED? So you are something you "shouldn't" have. Enjoy it and move on. There is absolutely no use in dwelling on a slice of pizza. As far as "ruined", no. One cheat will not unravel progress. Don't punish yourself with excessive cardio or slash your calories. You work on a macro, not micro level. Enjoy it. Move on. That's it!

I LIKE TO BREAK UP MY EXERCISE BY BODY PART. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Unless you're an aspiring bodybuilder, the 6-7 day body part split isn't efficient. Most average gym goers don't want to hit it 6x a week. Plus you need a recovery day or two! 3-4 days with a moderately active lifestyle and decent diet should be just fine. Most of you don't need a whole day dedicated to triceps only 😜

I CANT LOSE WEIGHT, ITS IMPOSSIBLE Unless you have a thyroid or major medical condition...it probably means your consistency is, to be frank, shit. Consistent calorie intake is key. If you eat 1200 all week then splurge on the weekend at 3000, youre simply unraveling your deficit on a macro level. Think of it like a savings account; you don't start saving then blow it on a trip to Paris on week 2. You save for awhile (build muscle) until you can splurge (cheat meals). Need help? Need something...else? PM me ☺️ Missing 100°F rooftop bars on this -4°F day 🥶❄️🌨️

GROW A BUBBLE BUTT WITH A COUPLE SIMPLE TIPS: • Use mind muscle connection! If you don't feel your glutes working, and your thighs are taking over, well guess what? Your thighs will grow instead • Ya gotta eat. And yes that means carbs too! Muscles don't grow outta nothin • Consistency over intensity. All day, everyday. Get your workouts in and record your weights so you can continue to challenge yourself! If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you 🥰

ARE DEADLIFTS BAD FOR YOUR BACK? Quite the contrary! When good technique is used, deadlifts will strengthen your back, glutes, hamstrings, grip, and abs. We hip hinge all the time outside of the gym. So when you need to shovel your snowy parking spot (thanks Chicago winters!), you can thank your deadlift muscles for keeping you from being late to work 😘
