Living Proof Fitness

Strong, healthy, fit and functional.
That’s the goal.
Mom of 3 high-energy boys that don’t show any signs of slowing down, means I need to keep up!

Workouts need to be efficient and effective.
Programming needs to be on point.

Core work is king when it comes to overall performance and daily functioning.
Keeping my upper body and lower body strength days split to allow for maximum recovery - specifically for my lower body after a running- related injury.

Here’s a typical upper/core strength session:

Hips elevated single-arm db floor press
Double arm bent over rows

Z-press
Single-arm lateral raise

Bent over db curls
Spider-Man push-ups

Pull over sit-ups with alternating knee lift
Russian twists

*ALL exercises require core strength and stability to perform correctly*

Give it a try 👊🏻🫶🏻

The cool part about hybrid training is that you can always shift gears.

I’ll be the first to admit: after I started adding running back into my training regimen, I got a little overzealous.
Bumped up the miles, and the paces a bit too fast (all while experimenting with new shoes).
I felt good, the endorphins were flowing,… until they weren’t. I felt pain. But my old, endurance-athlete brain took over and allowed me to push through the pain.
Reality is, I’m not endurance athlete I once was (10-15ish years ago!). And I’m happy about that. My body now is much stronger in different ways and my body composition is much healthier.
However. I’m not bulletproof-proof. And I’m not perfect. I make mistakes. This mistake is costing me 2 weeks of running.
But hybrid training allows me to simply shift my focus- and use these 2 weeks to work on pure strength- lifting hard and heavy.
And adding in a little mobility and accessory work to sure-up any other injury-prone areas.
Learning to love lifting, and getting STORNG over the past 5 years will always be a part of my fitness journey- just as running was and always will be.
You don’t have to be a one-trick pony. And I’m learning to appreciate that the more “tools in the toolbox” (different modalities of fitness) I have, the more indestructible (both physically and mentally) I will become. Diversity in your fitness regimen provides motivation to KEEP GOING and GROWING! - even when a challenge presents itself.
Can’t stop, won’t stop

It never gets old … even when you do.

They say “the eyes are the window to the soul”
… which is why I can’t stop staring.
You’re beautiful, my boy. Inside and out.

It’s your smile. It’s contagious. It’s my world.
I love you, c-bear. You make me smile every single day and my world would never be complete without you.
Keep smiling. Keep lighting up this world.
