Karen Pinnell, Personal Trainer and Online Gym

Your fitness program should be as individual as you are and it should be FUN! If you live in sunny s Let me introduce myself! Moving makes you feel good.

My name is Karen Pinnell and I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, MMA Conditioning Specialist and Fitness Nutrition Specialist. Health and fitness are a priority in my life. I have a passion for sharing my knowledge with as many people as I can. The key to living a healthy, fit lifestyle is finding a way to make it fun. There are so many ways to move! I form a partnership with each of my client

s and we find what works for them. We reach their goals together. There is strength in numbers! I’m always learning and trying new things. I truly believe variety is the spice of life. I don't like to do the same workout all the time or even twice. If you work with me you will be challenged and I guarantee you will never get bored. I train out of my garage (aka the Contempo Rockin' Disco Gym) or your place. Whatever suits you! You can reach me here: [email protected]

What do you see inside of the circle?

Most people will say they see the black circle.

People rarely say they see the white space inside the circle.

This simple diagram illustrates something that happens frequently when we are trying to lose weight or get fit...we focus on the small areas where we went wrong and often fail to notice the much larger areas where we have already succeeded.

So the next time you eat what you think you shouldn’t or miss a few workouts, remember how far you’ve already come and JUST KEEP GOING.

You will get there if you never give up!.

Happy Sunday friends! It’s a great day to look within and pay attention to what your body needs. Whether it’s rest, a good stretch or some kind of movement, it will thank you for your love! ❤️

As a Coach it took me a while to understand that not everyone wants a cheerleader ALL the time, but they do want someone to understand, empathize and perhaps brainstorm to make things better. I used to be the world’s biggest sugar coater until I realized some people took it as I’didn’t get them. It’s best to be real and address the situation with kindness!

Honesty is a form of authenticity. So the next time you’re tempted to sugar coat the truth, remember that you can be:

Kind and honest. Caring and straightforward. Sincere and direct.

Stop sacrificing one for the other, and see how your relationships deepen as a result. 🙌🏻

5 ESSENTIALS FOR FAT LOSS 🔥

Posted • .rogers

1️⃣ The Right Mindset - Whether it’s through affirmations, celebrating mini wins, or focusing more on the things you do good, and so on — your thoughts make or break your success.
⠀
2️⃣ Nutrition - If you ate a few hundred calories more that day, IT’S OKAY. Enjoy yourself and practice keeping peace of mind knowing you didn’t ruin anything. Before that leads to you eating more.
⠀
3️⃣ Hydration - Those Starbucks drinks to even healthier options like Naked juice can add up in calories super fast. And of course, drinking enough water helps everything.
⠀
4️⃣ Activity - Whether it’s weights, kettlebells, bands, or machines, some form of resistance training is ideal for fat loss — along with moving more throughout the day with walking, taking breaks at work to stand, stretching, etc.
⠀
5️⃣ Recovery - It’s almost sounds a bit cliche now (or maybe that’s just me lol), but you really do recover, heal, and everything in between while you sleep. Find out how much sleep you need and do your best to get enough each night.
⠀
BONUS - For the folks in the back who may not have heard: Patience. It’s a big part of this all… ⠀

Any other essentials, drop them in the comments below!

Posted • It’s not “all or nothing” it’s ALL OR SOMETHING. ❤️
When you’re shifting your life to a healthier version, it can be overwhelming to feel like there are so many “things” you’re suddenly “supposed” to do. (Aaaaand sometimes the holidays make that feel impossible!)
Here’s the thing...
You have today, right now. Yesterday doesn’t matter. Tomorrow isn’t here, and will be shaped by your actions TODAY.
Focus on adding something TODAY; one thing that takes you a step closer to your goals. And do that tomorrow too.
Each day, each week just notice how your life is now full of things that are helping you.
You can try adding any of these things...(one at a time)...
✅Swap out soda with water.
✅Switch to decaf after that first glorious cup of regular coffee.
✅Make a green smoothie.
✅Focus on getting protein in each of your meals.
✅Say your gratitudes.
✅Acknowledge yourself for the work you’re already doing.
✅Invest in yourself for an hour with a book or podcast instead of social media.
✅Go to bed 30 min earlier
✅ Drink water all day
✅ Switch up some of your regular foods to get some nutrient variety
✅ Stretch for 10 minutes
✅ Walk outside on the ground with bare feet
✅ Put your phone on airplane mode while you’re sleeping
✅ Be grateful (did i day that twice? You bet - this one you can add and add and add!!)
✅ Do a 15 min workout
✅ Comment below and tell me which of these you’re going to do TODAY! 🙌🏼

Great tips on training biceps!

Posted • Are your biceps small? Well you're about to be "served." This is a biceps tip I learnt from a long time ago and it completely changed the way I train my biceps.

By keeping your wrists slightly bent back (extension), you take the forearm flexors out of the movement and engage your biceps fully.

This tiny modification will prevent your forearms from compensating the fatigue of the biceps as the movement is performed.

One great exercise is the waiter curl (performed by holding a single dumbbell between two hands with your palms up), but this concept can be applied to any biceps exercise!

However, it is recommended that this concept is executed with lighter weights as it takes the wrist out of its neutral position and can potentially cause discomfort for some.
