When you focus on habits, results will follow.

Many folks make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Most people are trying to optimize a program when what they actually need is a habit.

There's a hierarchy to fitness. It starts with any exercise, then consistency, then real effort. After that — once those are actually locked in — you can start thinking about training splits, rep schemes, and periodization.

The problem is that a lot of people jump straight to step five. They’re researching the perfect program before they’ve solved for showing up four days a week. The specifics only matter when the foundation is solid.

I meet so many middle-age folks not happy with how they look and feel. I get it. I was there. And I want you to know there is hope! 😃

But...a huge but....you have to be willing to assess what you're currently doing and change your daily habits. There are no quick fixes that are sustainable. Don't start a diet. Don't sign up for a 30 day challenge. That's short-term thinking and doesn't focus on building the foundation for long-term success.

I don't diet. I changed the foods that I keep regularly in my fridge. I found healthier options that keep me in the appropriate calorie range. I learned about the foods my body needs. And I still get to enjoy my fave treats (wine and chocolate!).

I tried the 30-day challenge thing...many times....and didn't work. Got bored. Got frustrated that there were no results. Getting fit means creating an active lifestyle. Daily movement is #1. Focus on increasing your average step count. Building muscle is #2 as that impacts metabolism, ability to move well, and overall function of your body. Muscle + good nutrition creates the lean physique.

Change is hard because it means being honest with yourself and taking the time to learn & implement new habits. But once you get your system in place...it's much easier and feels amazing!!! You can do it.

A real conversation with a parent about their teen being bullied and feeling embarrassed about their body. Excellent guidance about healthy eating, body image and exercise. A must listen for parents but also great insight for adults.
Warning:please don’t mind the few f shots.

Here's a fantastic healthy swap for pasta. Red Lentil Penne! There's nothing "bad" about pasta (unless you have a food sensitivity). It can be part of a healthy diet (we need carbs for energy). The trouble is that it's easy to overeat 🍝and limited nutrient value. When I was on my weight loss journey, pasta was one food I deliberately ate less so that I could stay in a calorie deficit.

I recently found this at Costco...and I really like it. Honestly! The kids always doubt my "healthy" alternatives, but I think this one's a winner. For the same calories, over twice the amount of protein, and excellent source of fibre, potassium and iron. I topped it with some lean ground beef and tomato sauce...Yummy!

A fantastic tutorial for improving your pushups.

These are a great body weight exercise to improve upper body and core strength.

Are you stuck doing "The Worm," "The Half Repper," or "The Downward Dogger"? It’s time to check your ego, regress to progress, and build the picture-perfect ...
