Not every cardio session needs to be hard.

If you’re strength training and also want to improve your endurance, a simple weekly setup could look like:

• 2–3 strength training sessions
• 2–3 Zone 2 sessions
• 1 higher-intensity HIIT or SIT session

Your Zone 2 work helps build the aerobic base — improving how efficiently your body uses oxygen, produces energy, and handles lactate so you can go longer before you fatigue.

Then your higher-intensity work helps train that top end.

The key is having BOTH without making every workout high intensity and running yourself into the ground.

Especially in midlife, we want to build strength, cardiovascular fitness, endurance AND still recover well.

If you want a plan that combines strength training + running without having to figure out how to put it all together yourself, my Build Both Program does exactly that.

What do your carb choices look like? 👀

Carbs may not be the problem — but HOW you use them can make a difference.

Around your workouts, choose easier-to-digest carbs that can give you quick energy and help replenish what you used during training.

Think:
🍌 Banana
🥯 English muffin
🥞 Pancakes

Further away from your workouts, focus more on higher-fiber carbs paired with protein to help keep you full, support steadier energy and better blood sugar control.

Think:
🍠 Sweet potato
🫐 Berries
🥣 Oatmeal

Does this mean you can’t eat oatmeal before a workout or an English muffin at lunch? Of course not. 😂

It’s just a SIMPLE way to think about fueling:

👉🏼 Around training = fuel for performance
👉🏼 Away from training = fiber + protein + staying satisfied

You don’t need to fear carbs. You need to learn how to USE them to support what you’re asking your body to do. 💪🏼

And that’s exactly what we’re working on in my next Build Both Hybrid Program — getting stronger, building endurance, learning how to fuel your training, and becoming more capable.

Because if you’re going to train harder, you also need to learn how to FUEL for it.

Carbs are NOT the problem. 🙌🏼 It’s learning how to actually use them to support your goals.

Around your workouts → quicker-digesting carbs to help fuel your training + recovery.

Away from your workouts → focus more on higher-fiber carbs to help with fullness, steadier energy and blood sugar.

If your goal is to lose body fat while keeping your muscle, you don’t need to keep cutting carbs or eating less and less. You need to know HOW to put your nutrition together.

And that’s exactly what I help you with inside my programs.

I give you your calorie + macro targets, simple meal templates showing you how much to eat, food options so you can choose the foods YOU actually like, pre + post-workout fueling guidance, workouts, education and accountability—all inside my app.

I’m not just giving you macros and telling you to figure it out.

I want you to actually understand how to eat for YOUR goals and still live your life.

Want help figuring out what program would be best for you?

Lil pep talk… because trust me, I need these too. 😂

It’s SO easy to get frustrated with your own progress when you’re constantly seeing everyone else’s.

But let’s be real… we don’t always know the full story behind someone else’s results. Is it AI? Peptides? GLP-1s? Genetics? Years of work? Who knows.

And honestly, it doesn’t matter.

Their journey isn’t YOUR journey.

Your body.
Your goals.
Your timeline.

The more time you spend comparing yourself to everyone else, the easier it is to get distracted, start changing what you’re doing, and lose focus on the things that are actually moving YOU forward.

Stay in your lane. Keep doing the work. Give it time.

This pep talk was for me too. 😂💪🏼

BEGINNER HYBRID WORKOUT #1 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️

New to combining strength + cardio? Start here.

This is a beginner-friendly way to start building BOTH without turning your strength workout into one giant cardio circuit.

STRENGTH — 3 sets each
Goblet Squat: 8–10
DB RDL: 8–10
DB Floor Press: 8–10
1-Arm Row: 8–10/side
Rest 60–90 sec

CONDITIONING — 3 rounds
1 min easy run OR fast walk
8 DB Thrusters
1 min easy run OR fast walk
10 alternating reverse lunges
Rest ~60 sec

The goal isn’t to go as fast as possible or feel totally exhausted after.

Lift with intention → take your rest → then condition.

Already a runner? This is a great way to start adding strength.

Already lifting? Use the run/walk option to start building your endurance.

We’re starting simple and progressing from here. 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️

My goals at almost 46 look a lot different than they used to.

I stopped chasing a smaller body and started chasing STRONG + CAPABLE.

And the changes haven’t just been physical.

My energy improved.
My iron improved.
My cholesterol improved.
My insulin markers improved.
My blood work started reflecting how much better I felt.

Now I’m focused on strength, endurance + FUNCTION.

I want to hike, ski, travel, fish and keep doing all the fun things for YEARS to come.

And this isn’t just for women in their 40s. No matter your age, start training for the life you want to be able to live.

Chase strength.
Chase endurance.
Chase function.
Chase being CAPABLE.

And I’m working on a separate 6-week Hybrid Training Program for anyone who wants to build BOTH strength + endurance.

Already a runner? I’ll help you add strength.
Already lifting? I’ll help you add running.

6 weeks. Strength + endurance. Structured progression.

🏃🏼‍♀️ BEGINNER RUNNING — WEEK 2

Ready to build on Week 1?

Last week we started with just 6 total minutes of running. This week we’re making ONE small change — a little more running and a little less walking.

WEEK 2:

5 min brisk walk
90 sec EASY run
90 sec walk
Repeat × 6
5 min easy cool-down

Do this 2× this week.

That’s 9 total minutes of running — and we’re STILL not worried about getting faster.

The goal right now is to gradually build how long you can comfortably run and give your body time to adapt.

And if Week 1 still felt challenging? Repeat it. You don’t have to progress just because the calendar says it’s a new week.

Save this for your next run and I’ll see you for Week 3! 🏃🏼‍♀️💪🏼

“I was out of town.”
“I’ve been so busy.”
“This week was crazy.”
“I just didn’t have time.”

I hear these ALL the time.

But here’s something I really want you to understand…

If your goal is to live a healthier life, movement cannot be something you only do when life is convenient.

Most of us aren’t getting enough movement naturally anymore. We sit at desks. We sit in our cars. We sit watching TV. We order groceries online. We have made our lives VERY convenient.

Which means we have to intentionally create movement.

And yes, that means even during busy weeks.
Even when you travel.
Even when your schedule gets thrown off.

Does that mean you have to do a perfect 60-minute workout every day? Absolutely not.

Some days it might be your strength workout.
Some days it might be a 30-minute walk.
Some days you may only have 10–15 minutes.

But SOMETHING is always better than nothing.

Because movement isn’t just about burning calories or losing weight.

It supports your heart.
It helps maintain muscle and bone.
It improves insulin sensitivity.
It supports your energy, mood, sleep and digestion.
And strength training helps you maintain the muscle and strength you’re going to need as you get older.

So instead of asking:

“Do I have time to exercise today?”

Start asking:

“Where does movement fit into my day today?”

Because if you want this to actually become a lifestyle, it has to become part of your routine — not something you keep starting over every time life gets busy.

🏃🏼‍♀️ BEGINNER RUNNING — WEEK 1

If you’ve been seeing me run lately and thinking, “Yeah…there’s NO way I’m starting to run in my 40s” 😂 this is for you.

You do NOT have to start by running a mile…or 3 miles.

Start small and let your body build up to it.

Here’s your Week 1 workout:

➡️ 5 min brisk walk
➡️ 1 min EASY run
➡️ 2 min walk
➡️ Repeat x 6
➡️ 5 min easy cool-down walk

Do this 2x this week.

That’s only 6 total minutes of actual running!

Running can be a great addition in midlife for cardiovascular fitness, endurance and weight-bearing impact for our bones. And no, it doesn’t mean we stop lifting. 💪🏼

We’re adding another way to make our bodies stronger and more capable.

Don’t worry about getting faster yet. Build your running time first and give your body time to adapt.

Save this workout and follow along — Week 2 is next! 🏃🏼‍♀️
