Who needs all the hamstring work?!
So these are hamstring curls & hip thrusts using the stability ball! 
They look innocent but trust me, if you do them slow & controlled focusing on isolation, you will really recruit & train those hamstrings!
Do 3-4 sets of 16 curls & 3-4 sets of 16 thrusts added on to your deadlifts and/or your leg day
When I feel like overeating, skipping a workout (for no reason), or just going thru the motions (just because), I remind myself those seemingly insignificant actions will have a significant compound negative effect on my fitness.
Can you relate??
It won’t show up today, but the bad habits start to show up in how you feel, how you think, how you perform & then how you look. You can’t give up fighting that negative voice in your head trying to distract & deter your discipline. Train your brain to shut it down
& instead repeat all the ridiculously POSITIVE thoughts 
Who loves a good superfoods shake & why???
I used to go WAY off track with my eating every night after dinner. It was an after-work stress release to just not stop snacking & eating carbs at night. I needed something I could have at night to end the cycle.
But when this shake first came out, my husband and I were skeptical.
Honestly we were uneducated and thought it was like a protein drink.. an overly priced one! And we weren’t into “drinking calories” & we thought the price was ridiculous. We just weren’t educated on it & a LOT of people aren’t. Well now we’re educated on it and haven’t stopped drinking it daily ever since. And sometimes twice a day.
It’s whole food fruit & vegetable superfoods and is SO minimally processed unlike others.
It’s 1 of our meals every day & our good health SAVES us money! It makes staying on track with clean eating easier & the health benefits from it keeps us young and athletic
! And we don’t need a bunch of other supplements.
If you want me to send you the scoop on it & how you can try it (with a 30-day money-back guarantee), just comment and I’ll message you.
Who’s injured & therefore off the exercise wagon??
I use a lacrosse ball against the wall to relieve that nagging knot I sometimes get in my traps, or sometimes it’s near my scapula, or at my lower back -the Quadratus Lumborum muscle. There are tons of great rehab accounts on FB & IG that might help u! Just do some searches.
Don’t just assume your aches, pains & injuries are reasons to stop exercising all together …see a Dr if it warrants that but definitely don’t just throw in the towel -work to improve the root of the problem.
To workout or call it a rest day?
Lets look at the Pro’s & Con’s as maybe you have a similar list?
PRO’S: I’ll feel accomplished, I’ll relieve stress, I can get it done in under 30min, I’ll work off some of last night’s pizza
, I’ll stay accountable to my fitness group I’m coaching, I’ll workout in the fresh air, I’ll feel especially deserving of my chocolate PB shake afterwards, I’ll have no regrets.
CON’S:
Annnd done! What did you do today?!
I was going to do cardio & a mini leg day but Speed 35 covered both! 
If I’m not feeling like having a salad, I just take this out of the fridge… “avocado ranch” is all I need to inspire me 
We’ll be designing a new home gym in the new house, all in one space, whereas now it’s broken up into 3 rooms. All because I made a scary decision to build a business that would align with my priorities. Being a stay-at-home mom and having my own fitness business was a dream for me. I couldn’t afford to just quit my full time job when I started this business so I had to bust ass to create time to work this.
Matt & I feel blessed to say “started from the bottom now we’re here“
But it comes down to choices; daily seemingly-insignificant choices that aren’t always convenient or comfortable. Most people choose what’s SAFE, traditional & convenient.
Thankfully I learned from my dad, a successful entrepreneur, to take some leaps of faith in life and don’t take the easy way out.
ANYONE can have huge success in this business if they are consistent and put belief & purpose over fear (mostly fear of judgement & failure)
Then trust in God and the process.
This was all on a “NuCo” Coconut wrap (sold on Amazon), tempeh, organic white cheddar cheese slice, tomato, & edamame hummus (store bought but so good
).
Just missing avocado 
!!
Mine weren’t ripe yet 
Why do some people workout consistently… & then just STOP? I’m not judging, I’m just asking what the most common reasons are?
(Fitting in strength 35 & staying accountable with my performance Shift group! )
