Happy September 1st! A reminder to myself (& you) that progress takes TIME.

I was unable to workout during my pregnancy & was limited to short walks. I lost all muscle & idk why no one ever told me mom butt was a thing?! 😂 When I finally got back into the gym postpartum, I felt so uncomfortable picking up a barbell, I felt like a “newbie.” The last 2 years have been a rollercoaster of a journey w/ some good months & weeks but just as many lows.

The only secret is to keep at it, fall 7 times, get up 8. You might not be where you want yet but if you’ve been putting in work you definitely aren’t where you started. Let’s lock in these next few months !!✨

DONT LET THIS LIFE DRIVE YOU CRAZY, FIND YOUR WAY BACK! To all my new moms/dads, anyone who let work, a toxic relationship/environment or injury knock you off your routine this is your sign to get back.

Had my baby 2 years ago now (that’s wild) & it has been a constant season of adjusting and readjusting. Moving our bodies is a blessing & doing so will benefit you for your entire lifetime (beyond the physical).
Getting back to a sustainable routine has been challenging but I haven’t given up & am finally starting to feel like I have a routine that works for me.

I am committed to caring for this body & I hope you take this as your reminder that you can & should find your way back! Try a group class, a new form of exercise, go hiking, go swimming, bike riding, start with short walks, anything that will get you moving this ONE body we’ve been gifted ✨

Keep at it friends! 🫶🏽

Time & time again every season in my life has shown me that the circumstances in your life will NEVER be perfect, stop waiting for all the stars to align, stop focusing on all the things you’re “missing” & make it work with what you have!

I 100% miss the gym, I miss getting my workout done by 6:30am everyday, I would absolutely prefer to be in a gym with more machines/ better lighting, more space, etc. but I’m not gonna sit around sulking and waiting; that’s how life & your goals will pass you by! Work with what you have & with what you CAN control, the rest of those desires/preferences are just noise. Everything you need is IN you!

It's so easy to fall victim to your excuses & skip a workout but the feeling you get when you honor yourself by actually doing what you say you will is unmatched! Make a way & get it done.

I used to be in this field every single day watching my brother & cousins play baseball all summer. Crazy to think I didn't grow up playing sports & even crazier to be on this same field now working out with my little one. Loved starting our day outdoors today.

Show up for yourself, your littles are watching (& cheering for/yelling at you along the way 😅)

Your VO2 max measures how much oxygen your body uses during exercises. It's a reflection of your cardiovascular fitness/aerobic endurance and it decreases as we age. The higher your Vo2, the lower your risk of developing heart & metabolic disease.

I was checking out my stats on the health app & noticed that my VO2 max has increased over the last few weeks. I didn't intentionally set out to increase my VO2 but I increased my cardio over the last few weeks and this followed.

I'm not trying to give you all another thing to track but seeing the increase reminded me of the importance of 1. Regularly doing your cardio 2. Staying consistent even when you don't see physical changes b/c there are so many benefits to exercising that go beyond just physique.

Treadmill walks + low impact rides on the peloton are boring but boring works! So get to walking, cycling, running friends. Have you ever tracked your VO2 max?

Restarting doesn't have to be hard or feel overwhelming. I remember I used to think I'll start Monday so I can start fresh with all my meal prep/supplements/etc. But the truth is that your circumstances will never be perfect. So start where you are with what you have.

When returning from vacation I prioritize clearing my space (bc it looked like a tornado ran through my house this wknd & a clean space = a clear head), eating easy home cooked meals, hydrating as much as possible, and a quick and easy workout. These are simple steps that don't overwhelm you and help you pick up right where you left off! Have you fallen off, are you going to get back?!

Intentional, consistent, simple - that's it. From the inside out: Eat well, move better! It doesn't have to be complicated. Just prioritize whole, clean foods, get some intentional movement in, & the rest will work itself out with time.

If you watched this and asked "how does she have time for all of this?" rest assured that I absolutely do not 😭 these workouts are happening after drop off, before work, lunch break, post bedtime routine, etc. Time js SCARCE over here but we are pushing through, doing what on some days feels impossible, & making it happen.

I don't think everyone needs to do something as extreme as 75 hard (just 365 consistent) but I need this year to be different & wanted to start the year with a challenge. So here is to completing week 3 🎉

No week is the same, btwn working full time, Cassie's routine, my husband working 60+ hr weeks & listening to my body I have been learning to readjust & make a way instead of making excuses. My favorite part of the week was ending it by celebrating LOVE 💗

Loving my glute focused leg day and sharing it with you because we dont gatekeep! I'll be doing these 1 x per week for the next 12 weeks; save, share with your gym partner & let's get right!

Always warm up beforehand: 10 min. Bike/incline walk/dynamic stretches, etc.

1. Hip thrusts 4 x 6
2. Romanian deadlift (RDL) 4 x 6-8
3. Deficit reverse lunge 3 x 8 (I prefer to do these on the smith machine but it wasn't available)
4. 45 degree hyper extension 2 x 12 + 10 bodyweight
5. Hip abductions 2 x 10 leaning fwd + 10 seated upright (forgot to record)
6. Lying hamstring curls 3 x 10

Might take you out, might make you question life but we move!
