The info blog is in the comments to learn all about the program that runs 4/22/24-6/29/24.

Travel day number one matters more than any other

Routine and consistency are the most important things when it comes to your fitness, nutrition, and overall health. Planning ahead for your trip is your first step to succeed. Have your non-negotiables mapped out ahead of time. Consider how you can sneak in extra steps, knock out your strength training in small spaces, and seek out nutrient-dense foods. 

The very first day of your travel will set the tone for the rest of the days on that travel segment. Make day one an accomplishment that you’re proud of, and you will start with positivity and pride. Your likeliness of repeating this positive action goes way up for the following days. Positivity breeds positivity and success breeds success.

One month until the next group challenge starts ✨

Run Dates: 4/22/24 - 6/29/24

This high demand group program is only offered three times per year. Participants love it, and the results speak for themselves. It’s a fantastic way to get a complete coaching program mapped out, at a low price $89 for the full 10 weeks.

Stacking Bands….

If you are working out with the loop style bands you may hit a point in your progression where you are in-between bands.

For example, you’ve increased the tension as much as physically possible by changing your grip and shortening the slack on the “light” band. The light band is too easy and your reps required to hit fatigue or a good pump is higher than you’d like. But when you try to bump up to the “medium” band, it’s just too much tension too soon, even when using a grip with lthe least amount of resistance.

Go ahead and stack the “extra light” band onto the “light” band. This stacking technique can give you that extra bump up to help you progress. Of course the stacking works with all the band sizes, not just the sizes used in the example. It’s a great tip to help you find you sweet spot of resistance on certain exercises when you need a bit more.

I’ve spent the past couple of years focusing on hRVl. While hRVl isn’t going away, it’s time to put some attention back onto the heart and soul of my daily life… Irene Iron Fitness

Are You Happy?

If YES - Great! Keep doing what you're doing!

If NO - Change Something!

I couldn't agree more with the thought process behind this simple t-shirt. YOU are in control of your life, and you are the only person on this planet who can dictate your lifestyle choices.

Nobody can make healthy choices for you, or change your lack of happiness.

It doesn't take much to get started. A new habit here, a change in routine there. With time, these little changes add up to be life-changing.

This is the model and curriculum that I use in both my private coaching and my group coaching. It's about building a balanced lifestyle that you enjoy and where you feel your best, mentally and physically. If you need help with a program and accountability, I'm here to help.

My private coaching offers one-on-one accountability and customization. My group coaching offers a curated program using the same habits and principles, without individual customization, and therefore more value-priced. The group challenges run only three times per year, and enrollment is opening for the JANUARY 2nd 10-week group program. Sign-ups are rolling in this week as we get closer! Get on that list and build your happiness.

Message me if you have any questions!

Spoiler Alert 🚨

You can have BOTH fitness and tacos!!

Break the diet mentality. Eat real food that you cook yourself. Learn about food choices, learn about what foods your body needs, and fine tune your portion sizes. Break the all-or-nothing.

Another day chasing sunshine and steps.

Public Service Announcement
📣
I've had several clients in the past six months notify me that their doctor wrote them a medical necessity letter so that they can pay for their health coaching out of their HSA account.

Most doctors aren't trained in nutrition or exercise, and have incentives to promote other prescriptions. I'm thrilled that SOME of them are finally coming on board with food, muscle, and movement as the proper prevention and treatment for chronic disease and age disabilities.

If you can't afford online coaching, consider asking your doctor about this if you have HSA benefits. Also, keep your eyes peeled for the next group challenge starting January 2024.

My coaching is all about muscle, strength, movement, REAL FOOD, breaking the all-or-nothing mentality, and finding the self-love you deserve.

Fresh air. Sunshine. ☀️ Don’t underestimate the power. It’s right up there with daily movement, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and fitness.

Five years ago I quit my corporate career and took a leap on life. I became an online coach focusing on preventing the disabilities of aging through strength training and nutrition. I’m blown away at the impact I’ve made on others, and it’s so rewarding to be serving other humans. It’s never too late to live your best life. Feel good mentally and physically. Believe in yourself and be proud of yourself. Carry your shoulders tall. Be strong. Feel alive. Love life and cherish every breath.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN 🔥👏

Our next 8-week group challenge starts 8/7/23. But don't wait, early bird pricing is now (save $10 with code "HrvL8").

What a month it’s been. We bought our new RV, sold our old RV, and have been busy during the transition.
While at the Alliance Rally in Elkhart, I was grateful to get to meet with not only one, but TWO, of my amazing clients. Anne from On the Road of Adventure came over and did a band workout with me. And Shelley made a special stop while traveling through the area, just to say hi and share a hug!
We are absolutely loving our new space. So much room for cooking and working out. We’ve been breaking it in and can’t wait to share our beautiful space with you all!

Season Finale is dropping on Saturday...tune in to see who wins the Season one CROWN! If you haven't watched yet, get binging!!

Family hike day. The sunshine bounces right off of the white sand here, making those rays even more powerful. Soak it up! ☀️

Even if you’re lean, you’re likely under-muscled (unless you are strength training). As we age we start losing muscle mass after 20 years old. So if you weigh the same now as you did in your twenties, you’re likely twice as fat and half as muscular. Think of it as you were once a lean filet mignon and now you’re a marbled ribeye. Strength training is critical for metabolic health no matter what size you are. And if you are trying to look more “toned”, what you really want is more muscle. I always struggled with body image, even being a generally lean person. When I started to lift weights my world changed. Throwback picture to 2013 when I went from skinny fat to strong. Join the May challenge to start your strength training journey. Muscle is the key to your health-span and longevity. It’s never too late, and you’re not too old.
