While I'm usually drawn to less traditional, dancer-inspired exercises, there's still something to be said about some classics! Here are a few basic upper body exercises that I incorporate into my weekly workouts 🫶

It’s always good to find the right balance between the old and new, the mundane and diverse to keep your routine fresh yet rooted!

Happy workout! 😊

"I want to eat healthy, but it's tough when my husband's choices don't align." 🤦‍♀

It's a common struggle I hear from clients, and I can relate!

Here's the part you may not want to hear...🥁You have full control over your own choices, but not over those of others🤷‍♀️But there is still room for change!

👩‍❤️‍👨Be open with your husband about your goals and challenges and propose ways that he can support you

🥗On some days when he’s willing to compromise, ask him to choose a nutritious meal that you can both enjoy to encourage you to stay on track

🍟Some days you will give in to your temptations and that's okay; own it and make up for it in the following weeks

🙋‍♀️On other days, you'll need to make a conscious effort to be selective with your food choices and overcome temptations because you're adamant about achieving the body you want

On days like that, remind yourself that what your taste buds will experience and this joy of indulging is so temporary, it won't even matter 20 minutes later... But the lasting satisfaction of staying on track is worth way more!

💪 Stay focused, communicate with your partner and align your choices with your aspirations as often as you can 🌟🥗

I regularly felt guilty taking a break…

Days just felt too short. I was constantly racing with time and feeling unaccomplished at the end of my day

And my brain's tendency to send me a daily long, unattainable to-do list didn’t help

I was on a ticking clock of burnout for a good 3 months until I stopped recognizing myself…I became fiery and so easily triggered

When I finally took a day off, it was too good! I gained clarity, ideas and answers were coming to me

For weeks after I was more productive, energetic and less tense

So why couldn’t I get myself to do this sooner?!

Why is there persistent anxiety and guilt around resting? It’s a struggle we all know too well. We're living in a world that practically worships hustling..

I've had friends talk about feeling guilty anytime they weren’t productive, and clients complain about previously training too hard and not seeing the gains they wanted

balance is the goal, not burnout. This extends to your eating habits, your workouts, your job and even motherhood.

Results don’t pause during rest days, they BUILD.

We need rest to set the stage for progress so it’s time to let go of the guilt! A reminder for both you and me ☺️ Doing less can mean gaining so much more 💛

How I went from being a time-starved mom to taking control over my days

Balancing motherhood, work, and exercise is a real challenge, but it's doable 😍

I used to get so frustrated, trying to juggle different roles and moving parts without wanting to sacrifice any part of it…

And right when I thought I had it all sorted out, unpredictability struck again and my child’s routine and demands changed..

I really wanted to find a way to have more stability and some uninterrupted 'me' time to get fit again and advance my business, all while prioritizing my daughter's needs

Here’s how I made it happen:

Committed to small daily changes for long-term benefit

Asked my husband for support and delegated tasks for more 'me' time

Set up meal planning systems to gain extra time

Time-blocked my calendar with my priorities, adapting flexibly whenever needed

Reset daily, accepting setbacks and re-focusing on my goals

Trial and error became my weekly time management game

Problem solved daily for more efficiency and future time gains

These small targeted efforts help bring out your best self within your unique circumstances 🔥🙌

Own your path while being the amazing mom you want to be🤱

These small targeted efforts help bring out your best self within your unique circumstances, at every stage of your motherhood journey🔥🙌 own your path while being the amazing mom you want to be

I didn't want this vacation to end, but it's back to reality 🤷‍♀️

We had an amazing summer, traveled for the first time with Gaia 🤗 bonded, enjoyed delicious food, and quality time with family and friends..

But then coming back to routine can be a challenge when it’s so thrown off...

If you’re feeling the same, here are 5 tips for you to get back to exercising after your vacation (that worked for me):

1- Pick a realistic day and time for your first workout and block it on your calendar 🗓

2- Prep the day before to make starting your workout easier: prep breakfast/pre-workout snacks, sleep early, opt for a book before bedtime 📖🍲

3- Keep it simple and start with gentle exercises, “the only bad workout is the one that didn't happen' 🧘‍♀️

4- If you don’t feel up to it, start with a motivating song and 5 mins of seated movements 🎶

5- Stay flexible and reset if setbacks occur 💛

💌 Always practice consistently recommitting to your health and workouts after setbacks because it eventually becomes second nature, and the more you work on that 'habit muscle,' the more sustainable your progress becomes.

I hope this helps you get back on track if you need the push!

6 tips for staying fit and healthy during Ramadan🌙

1. Choose low-impact workouts like walking, yoga, pilates, stretching, or moderate weight training during fasting hours. These exercises can release hormones that help regulate your appetite and increase the feeling of being full, which can be beneficial when fasting

2. Break your fast with soup to hydrate, help control your portion sizes, and prevent overeating

3. Be selective at buffets by filling your plate with a variety of protein, carbs, and vegetables to make sure you’re getting the right mix of nutrients (and reduce your likelihood of going back for seconds or thirds)

4. Limit your intake of sugary & processed foods to avoid blood sugar spikes and crashes

5. Optimize your suhoor meal with nutrient-dense foods and protein-rich foods to give you energy for the day ahead

6. Get enough sleep to maintain your energy levels and support your mood and motivation

Happy Ramadan 💛😊

5 more days before Firas travels to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in honor of our son Kai and to raise awareness for Rett Syndrome.

Kai was the first case of Rett Syndrome in a boy registered in Lebanon.

When I was pregnant, I had an equal chance of having a baby with Rett Syndrome as the general population. There is less than a 1 % chance for a spontaneous gene mutation to occur while the embryo is forming. It is not hereditary and we don’t have any family history of Rett. But it happened. At the time, I had no idea that other children and parents were struggling from this very same disorder. Doctors did not know either and could not even guess the diagnosis until Kai turned 9 months and his genetic test results came back. Chances are that slim but come with devastating lifetime consequences. What hurts more than the diagnosis, more than looking at my son everyday dreadful at the thought of losing him, fighting for his quality of life day in day out, is having to live without him. We really never know when it’s going to hit close to home or home itself.

Please help us raise awareness and let’s make a difference. Take the time to read below to know more and to share.

Rett Syndrome is a serious, degenerative lifelong neurological disorder that is caused by random mutations in a gene called MECP2. Diagnosed almost exclusively in girls, symptoms typically appear in toddlerhood. Many children with Rett are unable to speak, walk or use their hands. Breathing problems, feeding tubes, seizures, anxiety, gastrointestinal and orthopedic issues are common. The symptoms continue to get worse, no matter how well managed, resulting in early death, early adulthood in girls and early infancy in boys. This degenerative disorder predominantly occurs in girls and extremely rarely in boys. In 2006 there were only 11 known cases of boys with Rett.

Rett Syndrome Research Trust are confident that Rett Syndrome one day will have a cure through the research they are funding. After conducting tests on mice, they witnessed the symptoms reversing dramatically and are now more confident that a cure can be found.
