Sometimes you just need to end a good workout with some Bob Ross Selfies šŸ“øšŸŒ²

Fun fact: Did you know Bob Ross was a First Sergeant in the Air Force? Maybe that's why he later decided life needed fewer people yelling and more "happy little trees." šŸ˜„

Movement, laughter and selfies — just another day training OUTSIDE the BOX at Boost Fitness Studio. Hope you’re having an energetic day!

That ā€œknotā€ between your shoulder blades usually isn’t exactly a knot.

Massage can feel amazing and provide temporary relief, but it often doesn’t address the root issue. Frequently, the problem is a stiff rib cage and thoracic spine that no longer allow your shoulder blade (scapula) to move and rest the way it’s designed to.

Whether it’s an old injury, some thoracic spine arthritis creeping in (I’ve got some around T8 myself), or years of sitting at a computer creating tight and overstretched tissues, the shoulder blade complex can stop moving well with the spine and rib cage.

When that happens, things start to feel sticky, restricted, and achy 😣

Loading the mid-back through its full range of motion is often what helps ā€œunstickā€ things šŸ”“

Most people stretch or massage this area, but never actually train it. Controlled loading through thoracic flexion, extension, and rotation teaches the body that it’s safe to move there again and handle force through that range šŸ’Ŗ

That’s where lasting change tends to happen ✨

I like using this in my warm-up, or even during a workout if my T8 area is feeling particularly cranky šŸ˜…

Easy Meal Tip: Chicken, Arugula + Beet Salad with Pumpkin Seeds šŸ„—
Truthfully, I’m not much of a meal planner.

ļæ½I just keep my kitchen stocked with REAL whole foods and make simple meals from what I have on hand.

My strategy? Keep hardy veggies in the fridge, cook a big batch of protein and starches, and mix-and-match meals for a few days without overthinking it.

TIP #1: Keep Arugula on Hand 🌱

Buy the big box of arugula. It lasts longer in the fridge than most lettuces and packs WAY more nutritional punch than iceberg or spring mix.

Arugula is a bitter green, and bitter foods support digestion by stimulating stomach acid, bile flow, and digestive enzymes. Bitter greens are also rich in compounds that support liver detoxification and help the body process hormones more efficiently.

Plus, arugula is loaded with:
�• Vitamin K for bone health�• Folate for cellular health�• Antioxidants that help fight inflammation�• Nitrates that may support blood flow and exercise performance šŸ‘Š

Not into the bitter flavor? Add sliced apples, roasted beets, berries, or a drizzle of balsamic. The sweetness balances it out perfectly.

TIP #2: Bulk Protein = Easy Meals šŸ—

At Costco I buy organic chicken thighs and sprouted pumpkin seeds in bulk.
Chicken thighs are flavorful, satisfying, and easy to prep ahead.

Pumpkin seeds are nutritional little powerhouses:
�• Rich in zinc for immune health + hormone support�• Magnesium for stress resilience and muscle recovery�• Healthy fats + protein to help stabilize blood sugar

And the sprouted versions? Even better. Sprouting helps reduce phytic acid, which can improve mineral absorption and digestion. Having simple proteins ready to go makes healthy eating SO much easier during busy weeks.

TIP #3: Don’t Fear Cooked + Reheated Carbs šŸ„”

Cooked , cooled and reheated rice or potatoes actually develop something called resistant starch.

Resistant starch acts more like fiber than sugar, meaning:
�• It feeds beneficial gut bacteria�• Supports microbiome health�• Helps improve insulin sensitivity�• Creates a slower blood sugar response�• Can help keep you fuller longer

Translation: your leftover potatoes might actually be better for your metabolism than freshly cooked ones šŸ˜†

One of my favorite things about personal training is helping clients get stronger for real life — hiking adventures, travel, skiing, keeping up with grandkids, feeling confident in their body again… all of it.

There’s nuance to strength training—especially in perimenopause. ā€œLift heavyā€ doesn’t mean ego lifting, ignoring pain, or forcing movements your body isn’t ready for.

The goal isn’t to destroy your body in the gym. The goal is to build one that lasts.

That’s where good programming matters.

A smart trainer helps you balance:
strength + mobility
challenge + recovery
performance + longevity

Train hard, but train smart.

Happy Cinco de Mayo - Try these for Taco night 🌮✨!
—bold flavor, real ingredients, and zero food coma after.

Clean Grilled Steak Tacos (quick + simple):

Ingredients:

1½ lbs flank or skirt steak
Zest + juice of 2–3 limes
3 tbsp avocado or olive oil
2 tsp coconut aminos
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cinnamon
Sea salt + black pepper
8 cassava tortillas
1 red onion (diced)
1 avocado (diced)
Cilantro + lime wedges

Directions:

Whisk marinade (lime, oil, coconut aminos, spices), coat steak well, season with salt + pepper

Marinate 30–60 min (don’t overdo it—lime can break it down too much)

Heat grill or skillet to medium-high and lightly oil it

Cook steak 5–6 min per side (depending on thickness)

Rest 5–10 min, then slice thin against the grain

Warm tortillas in the same pan, ~30 sec per side

Assemble with steak, avocado, onion, cilantro + fresh lime

Perimenopause Hack #2: EAT. MORE. PROTEIN.

šŸ‘‰ Check out my latest BLOG POST for a deep dive into why protein matters so much in perimenopause, and how you can get more protein in your diet. https://www.boost-fitness.com/post/why-women-need-more-protein-in-perimenopause

Your hormones may be shifting, but you’re not powerless — far from it. When estrogen starts to dip, your body basically says, ā€œHey, we’re upgrading the operating system… brace yourself.ā€ And with that shift comes:

• More muscle breakdown
• More belly fat storage
• More inflammation
• Slower recovery
• More blood sugar swings

Protein won’t fix everything — but it will give you one of the strongest tools to steady the ship. It helps you keep muscle, balance energy, support your metabolism, and stay strong through the transition.

It’s been a week since I’ve been able to work out and I’m going a little nuts over herešŸ˜…. Tweaked my back last Wednesday cause I overdid my workout 🤪

I move every day for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one? My mental health. Sweating keeps me grounded. Without it, I’m way more likely to bark at someone who didn’t deserve it.

Yes, trainers are humans with actual bodies that get cranky, tight, and injured. And lately? It feels like I’ve had setback after setback, but I’m not here to have a pity party.

Here’s how I deal with setbacks—I focus on what I’m GRATEFUL for:

šŸ™ I can still walk in the woods. Honestly, these daily hikes are keeping me sane right now.

šŸ™ My amazing hubby who’s been helping overtime with cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the chickens!

šŸ™ I’m diving deep into an intensive biomechanic assessment course. Less training time = more time leveling up so I can help my clients even more.

šŸ™My chiropractor, Dr. Stewart at New Leaf Chiropractic, somehow fit me in the day after Thanksgiving. Not your average chiro—he does muscle activation and listens to what my body actually needs : )

šŸ™ And my massage therapist at River City Massage, had a last-minute cancellation and got me in today. A gift from the universe.

šŸ™ I’m gradually feeling better and able to do light workouts in the gym again : )

And so much more, but I think you get the point: Setbacks happen, but there’s always something supporting you and motivating you to keep going if you look for it. I’m healing, learning, and easing my way back. šŸ–¤

Look, Thanksgiving doesn’t need to feel like a battle. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through dinner, and you also don’t have to pretend your goals suddenly took a holiday. There is a middle lane — and it's way comfier. Here’s my top tips for enjoying the day without feeling like crap later!

1ļøāƒ£ Don’t ā€œsave upā€ calories.
Showing up to dinner starving guarantees one thing: you’ll eat like you’re auditioning for a competitive-eating show. Eat normally earlier in the day so that you don’t binge on all the appetizers and oily snacks while waiting for dinner.

2ļøāƒ£ Prioritize Veggies and Protein first.
Salad and turkey are your friends. By starting with veggies and saving your starches for last, you’ll prevent a spike in glucose levels. Also, protein keeps you full and makes that second slice of pie more of a choice, not a compulsion.

3ļøāƒ£ Pick your ā€œworth itā€ foods.
Not everything on that table is special. Mashed potatoes? You can make them any day. Aunt Linda’s homemade pumpkin pie? That’s a once-a-year situation. Choose like an adult with goals.

4ļøāƒ£ Hydrate like you mean it.
Half the time we mistake thirst for hunger. Make sure you drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces before you arrive at dinner. Water between drinks = game changer.

5ļøāƒ£ Portion, don’t punish.
Take smaller servings, eat slower, then check in with yourself. If you want seconds, go for it — but make it intentional, not autopilot.

6ļøāƒ£ MOVE before and after.
Don’t skip your morning workout, even if it’s shorter than normal. Then, after dinner, take a post-meal stroll with your family — all of it counts. Your body loves movement, and it keeps digestion from staging a rebellion.

7ļøāƒ£ Don’t let one meal turn into a four-day food bender.
Enjoy Thursday. On Friday, return to your routine. One holiday dinner isn’t the problem — dragging it out until Monday is.

8ļøāƒ£ Enjoy the day!
Stress is more inflammatory than gravy. Eat the foods you truly love, move your body, laugh a lot, and keep your eye on the bigger picture.
