POV: You’re doing all the “right” things...

✔️ Trying to eat healthy
✔️ Squeezing in random workouts
✔️ Walking when you can
✔️ Starting over every Monday

...but you still don’t feel good in your clothes, your energy is low, and you’re not seeing the results you want.

Because the problem isn’t that you’re lazy.
It’s that you’re overwhelmed.

You’re busy. You have a career, a family, a calendar that’s packed, and the last thing you want to do is spend hours figuring out what workout to do, what to eat, or whether you’re doing enough.

That’s exactly why Brittany’s transformation worked.

She stopped guessing.
She stopped piecing together workouts from Instagram.
She stopped overthinking every meal.

She followed a simple plan that told her exactly what to do each day—and the results speak for themselves.

If you’re a busy woman who wants to lose weight, feel confident in your clothes again, and finally have a routine that doesn’t require you to think about it...

Comment RESULTS and I’ll send you the program to try for free to help you create that consistent routine right at home.

Shout out to @frombritt2fitt sooo proud of you 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

The truth is… the journey isn’t linear. And I’m here to show you that even when you’re doing “everything right” — the highs and lows still come.

Lately, I’ve been going through it. Stress, hormones, gut issues, and a season of healing — all while still showing up.

I’m not the same size, I don’t have the same glow, and honestly… it’s been painful, disheartening, and confusing as someone who has dedicated the last 10 years to building my strongest self.

I’ve been moving my body daily, nourishing it well — the same way I did when I felt my best from 2018–2023. So what changed? Why does my body feel different now?

I’m sharing this because I refuse to only show up when I feel my best. I want to show the in-between — the chapters that test you, stretch you, and remind you that there will be ups and downs.

And while this season has humbled me, here’s what I still know to be true:

• Nutrition is key with a focus on protein
• You cannot out train a poor diet, everything in moderation is key, and focusing on optimal gut health
• Strength training is everything no matter what age you are
• HIIT has its time and place
• Your heart rate and recovery matter
• Focus on the basics - weights, walking, water - don’t over complicate it

If you’ve been in a season of change — just know you’re not alone. You can be healing and strong. You can be softer and powerful. You can still show up. 🤍

IT’S LAUNCH WEEK !!!! Ayyyyy!! MOVEMENT BY MK is coming to ON DEMAND this FRIDAY⚡️🎉✨!! Let the countdown begin!
-
For the past year I have been working out with you anywhere I can by turning on my computer and getting this body moving! It’s seriously incredible what we’re capable of if we just jump in and I owe it to YOU for helping me make this possible!
-
I have to admit working out was always a struggle for me. Despite being an athlete my whole life I LACKED the motivation to workout outside my sport. I was always working out out of guilt, to look a certain way, or aiming for quick results! Not once did I ever think MOVEMENT would be my medicine but 5 years ago when I moved to Scottsdale I discovered it was my therapy.
-
My goal of this platform is to give you a place where you can MOVE your body in a way that FEELS GOOD with quick, effective, and convenient workouts regardless of where you’re at in your fitness journey! You’ll be able to login at anytime, anywhere and SWEAT it out with me with little to no equipment!
-
Each of you have inspired me and I hope this platform becomes a place for you to feel like your strongest self yet! We will still continue to have LIVE workouts each week so don’t worry if you need that major accountability to get to class I got you! It’s going to be an amazing week — let’s get after it together ⚡️✨⚡️!!

Something that’s always been important to me is independence to make my own decisions without relying on a man.

And before you come for me I grew up in a dynamic where my moms role was to take care of the home, 5 children, the works so I’m not saying that isn’t something to be proud of because it’s a hard ass job and I give immense recognition to all the moms out there. Even with that dynamic my dad always ingrained in us to be independent.

I’m beyond blessed to have a supportive partner and yes of course we talk about decisions but at the end of the day I have the ability to make my own whether he agrees or not and that’s something I’m proud of - whether I’m making an investment in myself, MBM, real estate I’m able to do it without needing permission. We all know JH is a supportive king 👑.

I say this from an empowering lens to trust your gut, trust yourself even if it’s not your partner …. stop asking 10 different people their opinion you got this 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 taken in Scottsdale, Arizona by @marykateschmidt

If you’re busy and doing all the “right things” in your fitness journey but still not seeing the results you want you need to listen to this 💪🏻

My MBM elite member is 36, works full time, travels for work, is planning a wedding, doing a house remodel and was able to lose 15lbs in 3 months ⚡️ leggggo!

The craziest thing is she was working out, eating “healthy” yet stuck for 18 months bc she didn’t have the right plan, structure, and accountability.

If you’ve convinced yourself you’re “too busy” or getting just “ok”‘results let this be your sign to make the change … 3 months left of the year to do it!

Does this sound like you? Comment YES MK and we’ll see if you’re a fit for MBM Elite my 12 week 1:1 coaching program 👏🏻
