Confession: My workouts have been a chore for months now!! We all know the world we live in right now has raised our stress levels, add challenges recovering from Covid, a serious family illness, distance learning, etc and you get a girl who has not been practicing all that she preaches. Life is a roller coaster 🎢 ride full of ups and downs but we are the carnie controlling that ride. We control the narrative of our lives. This week I decided it was time to reframe my thinking FROM: exercise is a chore, it doesn’t feel good, I’m tired blah, blah, blah. (You know the negative self talk.) TO THIS: I am damn lucky 🍀 I am able to do this, how kick ass is it that I have a freaking awesome gym in my garage. I have friends to exercise with and kids that use this killer space. I do NOT have to exercise I CHOOSE to. Guess what that one change in my narrative has made all the difference! I’m back and if you need help changing your narrative feel free to reach out. “You are the carnie of your roller coaster 🎢 ride!! “ - Amy, a non thrill seeker that loves roller coaster rides.

Fun fact: Hamsters run 🏅on average 3-6 miles per night. No wonder they need the hamster wheel. 😃

Covid lockdown challenge ALERT.

With more restriction and possibly more time ⏱to kill and gyms closed. Now might be a great time to work out some kinks 🗯

Many people have limited core stability, weak gluteal muscles, and limited thoracic spinal mobility.

So, here are three exercises you can do. Each one addressing the things mentioned above.

Forearm plank....try for 1 minute.
Glute Bridge....banded or not your choice 2x20
W to V....if no roller just lye on the floor. 2x15

Your best weight is whatever weight you reach while you’re living the healthiest life that you actually enjoy!!!

So excited for my “new” rower one of these days hopefully soon the new garage gym will be complete. What’s a home piece of equipment you couldn’t live without or would live to have?

So much to love about fall but my favorites are honey crisp apples and running outside....what do you like the best?

It's officially OCTOBER! Which means its time to kick the fall festivities into gear!

We want to hear from you where your favorite apple orchards in the area are?

The good news is I didn’t go to the gym this way. The bad news is I did go to a clients this way.

It is going to be HOT out there the next few days. STAY HYDRATED. Drink lots of water and replenish electrolytes if working out for an hour or more, sweat ALOT, or work outside!! If you experience thirst you are already dehydrated.

This is a great example of how food is marketed to make us think that it is healthy when it absolutely is not. The front boosts 25 g of protein per bottle but look at the back....51 g of sugar....yes 51. That’s more then a Coke. OUCH. 😡

I am lucky to have the BEST clients in the world. They let me beat them up everyday, they never (ok very rarely) complain, give their best each time, keep coming back for more AND, give me flowers, cupcakes, and Athleta gift cards on my birthday!!! Thank you. Jacqueline Ricks And Cathy Schrock.

So, if you think 5 lbs of weight loss is no big deal, ask your knees and hips what they think. Even a few lbs will back a big difference when it comes to joint pain.
