Enjoy a short video of Spider living his best life while I remind you of this....

You do not need to destroy yourself in the gym for your workout to count. Some days you lift heavy. Some days you walk. Some days you do 20 minutes and call it good.

Consistency has never required perfection ✌

Check out my new hair thing.. I actually hate it, nice experiment though. But that's not why I'm posting...

If you are in midlife and tired of wondering, whether you should eat less, exercise, more, lift heavier, do more cardio, or somehow do all of it while also having a life

This is where coaching comes in.

Realistic workouts, nutrition that doesn't take over your life, and accountability because I am a talker and if you know me, you know I love a good yap sesh while you sweat. I provide conversation AND suffering 🤣🤣

I have openings for coaching both online and in person. Message me!

This is what getting stronger at 70 looks like.

When D.D. started with me about four months ago, she was getting winded easily and struggling to open jars. She had a jar of food in her home that she couldn't open and was waiting for a family member to open for her (that family member wasn't due to visit for 2 months!).

Now?

She’s gotten comments that she is walking straighter and taller. She is getting dressed while balancing on one leg. Showering without holding onto the safety bar. Opening her own jars. And everyday activities aren’t leaving her nearly as winded (My treadmill whimpers when it sees her coming LOL).

Oh… and apparently we’re growing some pretty badass biceps too. (I advised her no random throat punching, as tempting as it is).

This is why we strength train.

Not just to lift heavier things in the gym... but to make life outside the gym easier.

Marketing update. Facebook changed my settings and I’m OK with it!

Gaining muscle and losing body fat is still possible as we age. The key is consistency and programming. We don’t have to lose muscle and be weak as we age. PUBMED:41963141.

Shameless little business plug because apparently people can’t hire me if I don’t tell them I have openings.

So… hi. I have openings.

If you’ve been thinking:

“I really need to start working out again.”

“What used to work for me isn’t working anymore.”

“I just need someone to tell me what the hell to do.”

That last one is basically my specialty.

I offer in-person personal training AND online coaching with realistic workouts, nutrition help, accountability, and adjustments when life goes sideways (that's my favorite *eyeroll*).

If you’ve been lurking and thinking about reaching out, just message me already. We’ll chat and see if we’re a good fit.

This conversation has come up twice with my clients in the last week that I felt it needed to be reposted. My comments in the original post are still true. One more thing, the tattoo was done BEFORE being labeled as a "tramp stamp" I was only 20 🤣🤦‍♀️

A great reminder! This showed up on my FB memories today. .
We get soooo focused on the number on that little box we step on every day. For some of us if that number doesn’t move or goes up we have such a bad day.

Check me out… seriously. I am THE SAME WEIGHT in each picture. The pictures are taken about 6 months apart. THE SAME WEIGHT yet I am much smaller, leaner, and STRONGER.

I still have bad scale days because I have a number in my brain that I have to be. That number isn’t as important as it used to be.
