I hit a new high on the scale and it didn’t ruin my day.

I hope that sharing my story helps bring a new perspective for women stuck in that programming.

Sometimes I find body weight exercises more challenging because of the mental discipline it takes to make the movement harder on purpose.

I’ve learned over time that I can have goals and aspirations without defaulting to using them as a tool to tell myself I’m not good enough in perpetuity.

Most athletes conquer grit long before grace. Injury, age, grief, stress, illness … these things teach us grace in a way sport alone does not.

Doing more doesn’t always mean what you think it means.

Focusing on recovery, meaning sleep, nutrition, stress management (failing but trying), and sauna has made a huge difference for me in the gym.

I don’t see myself from this angle very often. I’m gonna lie I kinda impressed myself with the visible gains that I didn’t know were there. #gymsky #fitnessover40 #fitness #gains

I always need a carrot to chase. Some people sign up for races or competitions to motivate, Abs aren’t my main goal, but one part of the ideas I’m endlessly chasing in my mind. #gymsky #fitnesssky #perimenopause

Nostalgia is a deep yearning for a home that never existed in a time that cannot be captured .

Oh the irony. Wrote this yesterday and have never wanted to give up more than I have today. Like just utterly completely quit life.

Building muscle is a special kind of challenge at 48. I’m proud of what I’ve build in spite of all the roadblocks life has thrown in my path.

I have three slots opening in August for custom virtual training. I help women over 40 start, return to, and progress their strength training and overcome the obstacles to fitness in midlife.

As easy as a 10 min walk after meals sounds, it’s not always possible during a hectic work day. Here’s my solution to get more general movement in a day. 20 air squats or 3 cumulative min of wall sits is a no-equipment solution. #fitnesssky #perimenopause #fitsky #gymsky

Building muscle in midlife is slower and harder, but not only is it possible, it’s 100% with the effort.

This move was a game changer for me to be able to isolate and load the quads pain free! Bonus points if you can keep your torso upright
