Strength coaching for parents in their 40s and 50s. It’s never too late to get strong for the years ahead, and I’d love to help. Are you a fit?

Just 3 days/week, Under 45 mins, in Shakopee, Richfield or online. Message me STRONG and let’s talk.

I don't train people the same way I train myself.

What you see me do comes from almost 20 years of building on the basics.

When you train with me, we always start with the basics: wherever you are right now.

We get those basics established safely and then add weight, challenge, and progression when you're ready.

I'm not the standard whatsoever. I help you set your own, and together we get there.

If you've been nervous to start because it looks too complicated, it doesn't have to be.

Drop me a message and let's see how strong you can become!

Announcing: Strong Start. 💪

It's a 16-week online strength program for women over 50, done together as a small group.

Here's how it works:

• 3 workouts a week, about 35 to 45 minutes each
• At home with dumbbells, your bodyweight, or at your gym
• Everything's in my training app, with options for whatever equipment you have
• A group call every week, recorded if you can't make it
• Help with Protein and food habits, one small step at a time.

We'll measure wins that aren't the scale, too: getting stronger, squatting deeper, moving better, and how your clothes are fitting.

Strength training is one of the best things you can do for yourself after 50, and I want to help you eliminate the intimidation factor.

We'll start Monday, Nov 16 and sign-ups close this Sunday, Nov 8.

Are you interested, or know someone who would be?

Send me a message or comment "STRONG" and I'll send you the details!

Injuries happen. Whether minor or fairly significant. If your shoulder, elbow, knee or something else is bothering you, that doesn't mean you have to stop training.

Right now I've got 4 or 5 clients working around an injury. A shoulder, a foot, and an elbow to be precise.

When one joint is hurt, you've usually still got three out of four limbs that are still 100% functional. So we figure out what hurts, what makes it worse, and whether you need a PT or imaging. And in the meantime, we keep training everything else as normal.

Most injuries last 3 to 12 weeks. That's a lot of time to lose strength sitting it out waiting for the pain to go away and hoping that rest helps.

The reality is that you can usually keep going, and find plenty of ways to keep progressing in your strength or at the very least, keep yourself from going backwards.

If you're dealing with something right now, don't just wait for it to get better. Find a way to keep moving in the meantime. Happy to chat and bounce ideas off each other!

Angelica hit her 100th workout this past week!!⁣
⁣
What impresses me the most about Angelica is her commitment to moving forward with her health and her pursuit of understanding why to do something.⁣
⁣
She always shows up to our calls and sessions eager to learn, move, and be honest with how she’s feeling and where she’s at that given day.⁣
⁣
And also committed relentlessly to moving forward with her health and getting stronger.⁣
⁣
Way to hit the 100 mark, and it’s a continued joy to work with you, Angelica! ⁣
⁣
Here’s to another 100!⁣

𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙐𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚!!!
⁣
I wanted to take a moment and share an update going on in my personal training and health coaching business - Northern Strength!⁣
⁣
For the past couple years, I’ve been primarily working with and seeking to serve busy moms and dads who are seeking to create generational health.
⁣
And, that has been an extremely fun experience that has allowed me to serve many parents - helping them become healthier, stronger, and more confident. All while reducing and overcoming their pains and injuries.⁣
⁣
These experiences have allowed me to narrow down WHO I know I can best help, and what sort of ways I can serve them best.⁣
⁣
Which brings me to the exciting update!⁣
⁣
I’m now exclusively serving and working with: ⁣
⁣
Twin Cities Area Moms and Dads who are seeking to:⁣
⁣
⛔ Stop neglecting their own health and well-being, ⁣
⁣
⚡ Overcome long-term aches and pains, and⁣
⁣
🏃🏽‍♀️ Revive their athleticism and strength. ⁣
⁣
But, I want to make this as easy as possible for them! ⁣
⁣
I’ve created a program that they can perform entirely AT HOME and ONLINE. I’ll literally ship them adjustable dumbbells so they have a fantastic starting point for their home gym.⁣
⁣
AND all I’m asking for them to begin with is 90 minutes in their week.⁣
⁣
So, if you or anyone you know would be interested in talking with me about what it could look like to start this up and work together, let me know!⁣
⁣
And no, this isn’t a limited time offer 😀. ⁣
⁣
This is what I do all the time.

⭐💪💪 Client Spotlight!! 💪💪⭐

Both Kyle and Greg hit some big milestones last week.

Kyle notched his 250th workout, and Greg hit his 100th workout!

What I appreciate most about each one of these guys is that working out and caring for their body and their health is now something they do every week.

If they don’t get it done, something feels off in their weekly and daily rhythm.

They pepper me with questions about how to get stronger, improve their form on movements, and make sure they’re doing things correctly.

And that curious approach, along with commitment to their programs each week has made them much stronger than they’ve ever been.

When both of them came to me, they had little to no experience with weights at all.

Now they’ve made significant progress and have become much healthier as a result.

Give them a hand!!

I've made a guide (and video) outlining how to make a family meal plan for an entire month...

Who wants it? 👇🏽

You shouldn't be afraid to think bigger about what your body might be capable of.

Just start pursuing something that seems a little uncomfortable.

Trainer Tip!⁣
⁣
Form check. Use your phone to video your form and assess it yourself, or ask a professional for some advice!⁣
⁣
This was the first set of a 3x3 heavy deadlift set. You can already see my back is having the subtlest little curve. ⁣
⁣
Once I observed this,⁣
⁣
1️⃣ I took longer rests between sets.⁣
2️⃣ Recorded my final set to see breakdown at max fatigue. ⁣
3️⃣ Next week I’ll also keep the weight the exact same rather than try to increase. Slow and steady is the name of the game.⁣
⁣
Need a form check or have a question? Shoot me a video and I’ll gladly offer some input!⁣
