PERFECTION WILL ONLY TAKE YOU SO FAR... . . I would prefer my client gives their diet an 80/20 approach. Holding the gas at full speed can only last so long before you burn out. If there is a balanced approach, with ebbs and flows of cheat days and living life...you'll turn fitness into your lifestyle, for GOOD 💖

Breaks are needed. Whether that is from a partner, the gym, your diet....balance is the most underrated aspect of fitness. As someone who ate the same meals every day for 4 yrs in a row with 1 cheat day, It's nice to be able to understand both sides of the coin and approach wellness with more balance than rigidity ✨❤️🔥 Happy Hump Day 💌

Don't be afraid to be a beginner! Everyone, every Olympian, bodybuilder, crossfitter, was once a beginner. If you're afraid to fall on your face, you'll never get off of your ass✨ Go pack your gym bag for tomorrow 😜

BAD TRAINING DAYS HAPPEN! . . Instead of dwelling on it, find the source, then move on with your day! They're going to happen to everyone, at some point. Taking an easy leg day this afternoon after a lazy morning.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS? . . I don't know 🙂 No one can know. Everyone is going to respond differently to different stimulus. We could all be on the same diet and same exercise routine in our bodies are still going to look drastically different from one another! Your adherence, your consistency, your genetics, and your stress levels are all a few factors that will work into the results that you achieve Just keep going! Happy Saturday, I'll be hitting legs🔥🥵

You aren't born with nutrition knowledge. You aren't born knowing how to use a barbell. You don't know YOUR unique process...until you develop it. You HAVE to begin somewhere and you HAVE to mess up along the way. Imperfection is a part of the process! So go mess up your diet for a day this weekend, enjoy that beer, enjoy those cookies, then get back to it!! PS I'm loving myself in white...what do you think?
2021-07-02 21:37:08 +0000 UTC View PostENJOY YOUR EXERCISE MODALITY . . There is no longevity in something you hate. Find an activity you truly enjoy, and work your way to that skill or competition or whatever drives you! Tumbling after years of powerlifting feels so great on my joints and energy levels!

COUNTING YOUR MACROS WORKS . . . We all have a ratio of carbohydrates, protein, and fats that suit our goals of maintenance, surplus or deficit. Your body weight x 15 is a GENERAL ballpark of how much you should be eating. Over the last few years I have tweaked my diet to maintain my muscle mass and decrease body fat, especially the fat around my waist (visceral) which is the most dangerous (that type of fat surrounds your organs and puts more strain on them to function). In the last month I have increased my carbs and lowered my fats and have lost 1 in around my waist! It definitely takes some time and some tweaking but if you are patient *and* consistent, you will see the results ☺️❤️

SLEEP IS A FAT BURNER . . Stop the useless pills and quick fixes. Control what you can, which is sleep quality+length, diet, and getting a 20 minute walk in. The little things....are actually the big ones. Keep it simple ;)

Why the Scale Might be Fluctuating: ° Stress ° Sodium/Water Intake ° Time of day you weigh yourself ° Menstrua| Cycle ° Sleep Quality ° When you last ate Remember...these are all variables that change the number on the scale and that number is NOT always your best indicator of progress ❤️✨

Don't let perfection stop you from starting...Being anxious means you care! And that's wonderful! But I hate to break it to you perfectionists....you're going to stumble, you're going to mess up, you will not be perfect. But that's all a part of the process, because we ALL have a different formula to our best selves. Just enjoy the views along the way 😜✨

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO WORK OUT? . . Whenever fits your lifestyle and schedule best! Personally, if I work out past noon I'm really unmotivated. I'm much more of a morning workout person so I can get it out of the way feel the energy from my workout and go do something fun. Ill be poolside later on today, and it will be well deserved after this leg day!!

The idea that lifting weights will make you manly is like thinking driving your vehicle will make you a NASCAR driver. Accentuate your curves, pick up some weights this week!

Fitness isn't just about looking good. It's a factor that will improve other areas of your life. Energy, resilience, discipline, courage And KNOWING you can do hard stuff, everyday. When you eat, sleep and train well...the rest of life seems to fall into place and operate just that much more smoothly. Happy Saturday loves! I'll be out with A GF this afternoon💖

Some common mistakes people make when going to the gym: • Not following a program • Not applying progressive overload • Using weights that do not challenge them • Poor technique • Relying on cardio for fat loss (instead of diet) • But mostly..... IMPATIENCE!!! This will take TIME and EFFORT, it's no 30, 60, or even 90 day fix . . Make sure you arent just going through the motions...get a solid plan for a solid bod 😜

I BOUGHT A 30 DAY CLEANSE, ITS TOTALLY GONNA WORK AND ILL HAVE MY DREAM SUMMER BODY! . . If it sounds too good to be true...It usually is. Hard work, consistency, intensity and dedication are just a few of the factors needed to get to where you want to be. Wishing for it, willing it, wanting it, are all different than WORKING for it. Create LIFESTYLE changes to encourage consistent efforts instead of spinning your wheels jumping from program to program or cleanse to cleanse!

Do one thing. One thing today for YOU. That might mean eating the cookie, that may mean not eating the cookie. Drink that gallon of water, or take the 20 minute walk. Create meetings for yourself. You wouldn't cancel a meeting with your boss, would you? You wouldn't...so you'd best start showing up for yourself too. Some beautiful weekend views from Lake Michigan 💦❤️

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!

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!
