Front Deltoid Raises
Worlds Most Boring Video but just wanted to demo Front Deltoid raises on an incline bench because they’re so effective for building those shoulders.
I go lighter & focus on isolation & form

Strength Training
It took jussssst the right lighting & pose to show any definition☺ & this is my stronger leg… I’m not where I was 2-3 years ago prior to my hamstring injury when I could do sprints & a hard legday twice a week ..BUT I’m proud of what I’ve maintained and excited to feel stronger & fitter everyday.
Here’s what I’ve been doing for legday recently…
🎯4 sets with 8-16 reps (rep to failure)
- Jumping Lunges
- Romanian Deadlifts
X4 - Weighted Romanian Split lunges
- Stability Ball Hamstring Curls
X4 - Leg Extensions (or front racked squats)
- Weighted Hip Thrusts w/Back on Bench
X4 - Walking Lunges w/Dumbells or Barbell
- Hamstring Curl Machine or Bridge Lifts
X4 - Traditional Squats w/barbell or DEEP Plyometric squats
- Calf raises – weighted
X4 - Plyometric Speed Skaters
- Sumo Squats w/barbell or weights
X4
If you like to follow a video (especially because form & technique MATTERS), I highly recommend one of these for strength training: Chalean Extreme, Body Beast, 21 Day Fix Extreme or coming-next-month The Masters Hammer And Chisel.
Pre-Halloween festivities cardio!
There’s no workout that gives me high Turbo does!
How can this song not make you wanna move!?! Turn it up!
I Love To Hate This Workout
Would you do it?
For the High Knee Jump Rope, right + left = 1.
For the Weighted Overhead Lunges, right + left = 2.
☝3 rounds only if you are using LIGHT weight or you’re modifying, or you’re advanced.
☝Know YOUR body & level
☝Be sure to warm up first, focus on form but avoid any breaks if you can.
☝Modify as needed.
☝Cooldown + stretch afterwards!
Would you do it?!
p.s. This is sped up, of course!
Team Hardcore throwback!
Why NOT give this business a shot or at least look into it further?? I only ask this because this business is such a GIFT!
If you follow me, you know Beachbody Coaching & my team has changed my life and my family’s life in such a positive way.. BEYOND my own comprehension Chalene told me about this business and I honestly was skeptical until I did my own research; thought it was about sales, thought it was too good to be true, ..and as a Mom who was working more than full-time hours, I assumed I didn’t have TIME. I was wrong though.
Seeing this pic of my leaders from a few years ago and knowing how much we’ve all grown & stuck together is just awesome! And i’m EXCITED to see NEW people who are joining now, who have SO much potential to develop into Leaders!
It’s amazing to be connected with so many people on the same page, and to be able to make this opportunity as big as you want it to be, on flexible, stay-at-home hours. Why NOT you??
I know .. you probably think you need to be at your ideal weight first, and you don’t. PROGRESS is what’s relate-able to most people because they are NOT seeing progress themselves. Perfection is NOT where it’s at with this. And you make more progress once you become a coach; the role itself builds in accountability for you smile emoticon
You might think you’ll have to push products on people and you’ll never be asked to do that.. not on team; that’s never my approach because it’s not cool; being pushy doesn’t work anyway and being good at making sales is not at all what drives your success.
You don’t know HOW to start or how to become successful ..but I teach you EVERYTHING I know from the start and ongoing.
It’s $39.95 to join and the $15.95/month for the website Beachbody sets up FOR YOU. No other fees are required but it’s definitely recommended that you believe in, and incorporate, Beachbody programs/products.
If you are not a coach, and don’t have a Coach you’ve worked with click here and go to my home page. Fill out the and submit your info so I can get you the information you need to get started.
We can see if this would be a good fit for you. Unfortunately, this is only available in the US and Canada right now.

Turn Every Room Into A Workout Room
We’re going to completely re-do & upgrade this weight room & I can’t wait!
Our house is non-traditional in that we have 3 rooms that we’ve made into workout rooms & we wouldn’t have it any other way🙌.
If you stay here, workouts are mandatory☝.
We may not have a bed for you but we have plenty of benches☺.
Who’s injured & feeling out of the swing of things??
This is my “anti legday” workout yesterday because my glutes were too SHREDED from my Saturday workout. ☝There was obvi more involved but I couldn’t fit it in. ☺
☝But my point here is… when you are SO SORE you can barely walk or if you have an injury, you usually have LOTS of options to get that heart rate up & keep your head in the game.
I had to do upper body & core workouts for 6 months due to a hamstring injury.
Keep the weights light, reps higher & don’t work the same muscle groups on consecutive days – avoid overtraining the “healthy” muscles.
Maybe you DO need some time off, but be VERY careful of just letting everything go You have OTHER healthy muscles & studies show muscle starts deteriorating after 6 days of inactivity. So be smart, follow Dr’s orders, see a PT, but do what you can to preserve what you have & most importantly to maintain your “fit” & positive mindset because letting that go can lead to poor nutrition …which can REALLY wreak havoc on your fitness & how you feel in general.
I only know this because I’ve been thru it myself
5K RACE FOR RECOVERY
Such a great cause & way to start the day!!
What’s going to push YOU today????
Neither of us trained for this & we both had grueling workouts yesterday (me, a heavy leg workout & Ty, 2 hours basketball + 2 hours neighborhood football + 2 Lacrosse games😰 !)
But last night T asked me to do this race with him today! I’ve always wanted to run a 5K with my son & I didn’t realize that would happen this morning! He told me 2 weeks ago he wanted to do this race ..but by himself.. so up til last night, I thought I’d be bundled up on the sidelines cheering him on with Matt, hot coffees in hand ☕😁.. That sounded great to me because I’ve not been able to run super hard lately due to a lingering knee injury that swells if I over-do it.👎
I’m proud of him for sticking to it this morning when I gave him every opportunity to sleep in (I felt he needed the sleep/rest & I was already SUPER sore 😆) but he kept saying ..”no I’m up! I wanna do it”. I know if he wants to be, he’ll be a great runner someday just like his dad!
And HUGE props to our neighbor Roman, who is only in 8th grade & WON the whole thing!!🏃🏆
What’s your non-weight-related goal??
Running a faster 5K, doing push-ups on your feet vs knees, pull-ups, squatting a certain weight.. ??
I’m doing a hollowback here to work on back & shoulder flexibility (which mine is obviously BAD right now) & handstand pushups for shoulder strength. They are harder than they look but I love challenges!
p.s. Love this song
Strength and Performance
I like muscle & athleticism. I do better focusing on strength & performance goals versus trying to be a certain size or weight. If you haven’t, you might want to try that too..
Btw, feels so good to feel good again! Thank you for the well-wishes!
☝Top right: all the different things you can do with a medicine ball ✅ .. There were too many to fit into 15 seconds.
