PUMPKIN SPICE OVERNIGHT OATS

A simple, seasonal breakfast packed with protein and fibre to help keep you satisfied and energized.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ½ cup milk of choice
• ⅓ cup pure pumpkin purée
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon h**p hearts
• 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup

HOW TO DO A STANDING DUMBBELL ROW

A standing dumbbell row primarily targets the muscles of the back—but your position and pulling path matter.

Set-up:

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your knees softly bent.
• Hinge forward from your hips, keeping your spine long and core engaged.
• Allow the dumbbells to hang beneath your shoulders. Your grip may change depending on the variation, but keep your wrists straight and aligned with your forearms.

The movement:

• Pull your elbows back toward your hips.
• Bring the weights toward your waist or lower ribs—not toward your shoulders.
• Gently squeeze your shoulder blades together.
• Lower the weights slowly and with control.

Common mistakes:

• Standing too upright instead of maintaining a hip hinge.
• Pulling the weights too high toward the chest or armpits.
• Allowing the elbows to flare too far out.
• Shrugging the shoulders toward the ears.
• Using momentum instead of controlling the movement.

Think: long spine, weights low, shoulders relaxed and wrists strong.

AFFIRMATION OF THE WEEK

“I show up for myself because my growth matters.”

Showing up for yourself won’t look the same every day. Sometimes it means giving your best effort, and sometimes it means slowing down and listening to what you need.

Each small, intentional choice is a reminder that you are worthy of your own time, care and commitment. Growth doesn’t require perfection—it begins by continuing to show up.

SKULL CRUSHERS — FORM MATTERS

Skull crushers are one of those exercises where a few small adjustments can make a big difference!

Start with your arms extended and elbows pointing toward the ceiling. Keeping your upper arms steady, bend at the elbows and slowly lower the weights through a comfortable range. Squeeze your triceps to extend your arms again.

KEEP IN MIND
Elbows toward the ceiling • Wrists neutral • Shoulders steady • Keep elbows from flaring • Slow and controlled • Choose a manageable weight

Good form helps keep the work where you want it — in your triceps — while reducing unnecessary stress on your joints.
