I teach a variety of fitness classes at various fitness centers throughout central AR and I also do personal training. Ditch the workout and join the party!
If you missed me over the past 2 weeks, then you didnβt try hard enough. πππ. I was at the gym almost every day. Iβm exhausted. π΄. No class in 9/2!
You can work out with me on Wednesday and Thursday of this week! Monday (9/2/24), class will be canceled due to Labor Day.
Did you know that breakdancing was an Olympic sport/event?
If you donβt do squats, you are doing yourself a disservice. Squats are not just for making your butt big. But, rappers donβt rap about little butts. But, all butts matter. π€£π
You can exercise no matter where you go this summer! We were at the pediatricianβs office. ππ
You can exercise whenever you are. Weβre in the pediatricianβs office. πππ If you have kids, let them see you exercise and try to exercise with them. Train them healthy habits while theyβre young. ππ
How many bottles of water did you drink today?
When I say that Iβm here for you, I really mean that you keep me accountable. I already eat too much sugar. Iβm working on that. I know that I cannot βout exerciseβ poor eating habits. I loved receiving the message below ππΎ from a student. I really am in this with you. Message me anytime that you need accountability and we can do a virtual workout. ππΎββοΈ. No excuses! π
Iβm teaching my daughter the concept of wearing exercise clothing when you clearly know that youβre not going to workout. ππΎββοΈ π€ͺππ€£π€£π€£. Am I the only one? π€·π½ββοΈ
Itβs funny because itβs true. πππ
If you join the gym and want to try a group fitness class, come to my class. Iβll be your friend. I will workout with you. I will encourage you, too! I will tell you all about my poor eating habits, my kids and my the favorite episode of Law & Order (any of the series) that I just watched. I will show up each and every class. My fitness peeps are my 2nd family; my home away from home. Please know that I appreciate everyone who visits this page and/or attends my classes.
Working out at home with kids can be tough. Thatβs why I have a gym membership. ππππ
Am I the only one? π₯΄π₯΄
Iβm not judging anyone but myself. π€£π€£π€£π₯΄π₯΄
So, Iβve always wondered if I had what it takes to workout ππΎββοΈ with βfitβ people. So, today I saw the guys from Firehouse 14 about to leave the gym. I begged them to lead us in a few exercises. They hesitated; but, Iβm extremely persuasive. π. All of the exercises were familiar to my Bootcamp class. So, I guess my students now know that I am a legit fitness instructor. πππππππ. Shoutout to our community helpers for leading us after they had already completed their workout!
I asked a newbie who attended my class yesterday if she was sore today. She said, βnope. I took 800mg of ibuprofen before I went to bed.β ππππ. Itβs funny, but itβs great advice.
I found this post from Endbackpain and I had to share it. Planks are sooooooo good for us. We do them in every class that I teach and this is why. Iβm not trying to torture anyone. ππππ.
good
I probably wonβt stop eating sweets until next year. ππ₯΄π« π€¦πΎββοΈπ«£π«£π«£π«£π«£
Proof that you can exercise at home with little kids. π« π« π₯΄π₯΄πππ
Whereβs the lie? ππππππ
It was cold π₯Ά outside but these ladies did not let the weather keep them from coming to workout ππΎββοΈ. Thank you so much for exercising with me. This is the time of the year when itβs the hardest to stay consistent. But, Iβll be here every week if you come π.
Thanksgiving is in 2 days. Come out of hiding and exercise with me tonight at 7pm. Youβll thanks me afterwards. I promise.
This year for Christmas, invest in a good pair of tennis shoes for yourself. There are several shoes stores that specialize in fitting people in good-fitting shoes. Throw away any tennis shoes once the tread starts to wear down. And if you are an athlete, consider buying a shoe thatβs specifically designed for the activity that you do (ex. Weight lifting, running, walking, etc). Your feet, knees, hips, waist, entire torso will thank you for taking care of them.
If youβre not working out ππΎββοΈ with me in my classes, youβre not living your life right. ππππ
Guess who I am this year. Comment below ππΎ .
Pre-Halloween shenanigans. I donβt βcelebrateβ Halloween. I hate things jumping out at me. I hate people trying to scare me. But, I love candy. And sweets. And dressing up. And seeing creative costumes. And candy. And sweets. And even more candyβ¦and sweets. So, today I put in some extra work because I already know that Iβm going to BLOW IT tomorrow. π©ππ’πππ What about you?
How I feel about exercising on Wednesday after teaching on Monday and Tuesday nights. πππππ. The struggle is real!!
Iβm trying to eat better (before 10/31 π€ͺ) but this salad looks terrible. Itβs not expired either. I will definitely be taking this back to the store. In this case, I wouldβve been better off eating cookies πͺ. ππππππ
Todayβs workout ππΎββοΈ is brought to you by my tiny helpers. We workout as a family in our garage now since Kids Club isnβt available at every gym. Train them while they are young!!
I donβt normally workout ππΎββοΈ the on Wednesday nights because I teach on Monday and Tuesday nights. But, Monday was a holiday so I had to get a workout in today. If you donβt take a picture, it didnβt happen. Right? π€ͺπ€ͺππ
