More than just throwing a football ❤️ It’s time. It’s connection. It’s letting him know, I see you, I love you, and you are worth my time.

This is what I hope strength looks like as we grow older ❤️ Kay and Ann are two amazing, seasoned, STRONG women, but what I love just as much as watching them train is watching their friendship. They work out together, they share life together, they encourage one another, and they continue to show up and stay dedicated to keeping their bodies strong. 💪🏽 Their friendship is such a beautiful example of what I hope to have with my besties someday… still doing life together, still laughing together, and of course, still lifting together! 🥹❤️ It is truly such a privilege that I get to be a small part of their journey and coach these incredible women!

September 11th is one of those days I can still picture so clearly. It was a Tuesday morning and we were getting ready to leave for our homeschool co-op. My mom was watching the news, and I remember her looking so worried. I saw what was happening on the TV, but as a kid, I just didn’t grasp the magnitude of it. All I knew was that we were going to be late, and I did not like being late 😅 I remember getting frustrated with my mom and telling her we needed to leave. She looked at me and said, “Ciarra, our country is being attacked right now. I don’t care if we are late.”

We eventually got to co-op, late of course, and I remember my teacher stopping class to pray for our country. Even then, I don’t think I truly understood what had just happened.

Looking back now as an adult and a mother, it hits completely differently. My heart aches thinking about every life lost that day, the first responders and the families whose lives changed forever that day.

Today I had the honor of participating in a Hero Climb, completing 110 flights in remembrance of the first responders who climbed those stairs on September 11th. ❤️🇺🇸

I could never fully understand the pain that still lingers for those who lost someone they loved that day, but my heart aches for them. Climbing those stairs today was such a small act compared to the sacrifice shown that morning.

Never forget. 🇺🇸❤️

This woman right here is food for the soul. Healing. Peace. Wise. Strong. Beautiful. ❤️ And I’m so sad to say I just finished my last ruck with her before she leaves for Colorado. I’m so excited for her new adventure, but Jenelle isn’t just a member at The Fit, she’s a piece of it, and a piece of us is leaving. 🥹 I truly believe God places people in our lives at exactly the right time, and Jenelle, you were one of those people for me. I am so incredibly grateful that I’ve gotten close with you these past few weeks. Our rucks became so much more than throwing on some weight and walking. They became a place for deep conversations, tears, laughter, honesty, healing and peace. There are conversations with certain people that leave you a little lighter than you were before, and that’s what our time together has been for me. You have helped me heal pieces of my heart simply by listening, understanding, sharing your wisdom and reminding me of the strength that was already there. ❤️ So this definitely isn’t goodbye. It’s “I’ll be rucking with you in those Colorado mountains at a later date!” 😝 Jenelle, you are an amazing human being, and I feel so blessed that God crossed our paths when He did. I’m going to miss you so much, but I am SO excited to watch you step into this next chapter of your life ❤️🏔️

This band resisted plank takes a lot of core strength, but the longer you hold it, the more it becomes mental. The shaking starts to kick in and you want to stop but you challenge yourself to hold a little longer! That’s where strength is built. Not just strength to hold a plank or lift heavier but the kind that carries over into everyday life. Learning that when things get uncomfortable, you’re capable of staying in it, pushing through, and doing hard things!

That’s we work to build at the Fit. Strength that goes beyond the gym. Strength that is forever usable 💪🏽🔥
