Return the Favor
Don’t reverse the work you did today by eating crap tonight.
I’m tempted to eat bad stuff at night too.. But let’s agree to finish this day strong! Mmm k??
Build Your Tribe
ENTREPRENEURS, COACHES, all BUSINESS OWNERS… Did you subscribe to my sister’s podcast yet?
Post workout stretch & I’m listening to my sister’s latest podcast (get the podcast app & search Chalene Johnson) regarding using Webinars to build your network!
I loved the PINTEREST podcast too!
Why NOT make a better living doing what you love? It’s a MUST-LISTEN.
So much of what I’ve achieved in my business I’ve learned from listening to & attending my sister Chalene Johnson trainings regarding building a network & personal development.
This stuff is SO fascinating!
Kipping Handstand Push-ups
(Click image to play video.)
Kipping handstand push-ups .. Just learned how to do these; no idea if these are considered LEGIT. They look easy but they get exhausting (in my opinion)
Btw, on the floor under my head, I’ve placed a 25lb weight plate with an ab mat on top of it & I start by doing a headstand. Don’t try them unless you can do a headstand, a handstand & push-ups on your feet.
Always warmup first & remove shoes if you’re concerned about marking your walls (OR putting a giant hole in the wall…never mind.. maybe just DON’T try these!) 🙂
Working…

Ok now, take it easy on the criticism my fitfriends..I work on these because they’re 1 of my many weaknesses.. i.e. I’m not pretending to be the model of clean and SplitJ erk proper form.. But if you’re like me, you like to see actual WORK not just pics!
Leg Day!
LEG DAY!! Do you LOVE or HATE?
My injury is about 80% now so I’m working my way back up to heavier weights. If you’re NEW to lifting, don’t know proper form & therefore need to follow form & cues from a trainer, I recommend my sister’s CLX or PUMP.. BodyBeast if you’re ready for the next level If you don’t have weights, sculpt #PiYo !
- Weighted Lunges
- Leg Extensions
- Weighted Sumo Squats
- Side Steps w/a resistance band
- Weighted traditional Squats
- Bridge lifts
- Deadlifts
- Jumping lunges w/med ball…
Just to name a few
I prefer to do ~3 sets of each & 8-20 reps (depending on the exercise & if I’m at a new heavy weight or not).
Warmup first & follow with cardio if you have time (like 15min #TurboFire HIIT, PiYoSweat, T25, or Run)
Don’t forget to stretch afterwards!
Thank God You’re Fit
What was your workout today?! #TGYF
I may not be the strongest, the leanest, the fittest, the flexible-est, but I’m SO thankful for what I DO have & that I have the opportunity to move & improve every day! I remember very clearly the day my active & athletic dad lost his leg in a motorcycle accident & how our lives can be flipped upside down in an INSTANT. Don’t take anything for granted.. Move forward & be grateful!

The Dirty 30
Click image to play video: WARNING: Music Plays 🙂
What do you want to see in videos?
Due to request… I’m just demo’ing a few of the things you can do with The Dirty 30 Crossfit inspired workout. Like I said in the post, if you can’t do knees to elbows (which is core work), you can do sit-ups with your legs, knees & feet in a frog position. I like using an ab mat & you can get one at Rogue .com or a PINK AbMat at Dicks Sporting Goods or use a Bosu Ball ). Use a band or do 30 push-ups on your knees instead of pull-ups. And instead of using a GHD for back extensions, do supermans on the floor as shown here 🙂
Again, what else do you want to see?
