FITNESS

When I was in college I would restrict myself all week long and eat only “healthy foods” and then the weekend would come around and I’d have a huge cheat day with the greasiest food and lots of alcohol. Here is how I changed my mindset around this habit.

A gallon of water is a lot. I’m not going to lie, I have to be really cognizant of drinking it if I am going to drink all 126 ounces of water daily. If I don’t think about it, I can easily drink 40-60 ounces for the day. Here are some things I incorporate into my day to make sure I’m drinking enough.

I write a lot of workout plans for clients and myself but I always end up reverting back to my tried and true lifts. These are ones I don’t do every single week but always switch in. Some are compound lifts where I try to increase my strength whereas others are accessory lifts to do towards the middle to end of my workouts!

Hey guys I wanted to let you know that I created a Teacher Fitness Group just for YOU. It is a whole platform …

I get it. We all have jobs, relationships, a house to keep clean, laundry to do, grocery shopping, commute times, wanting to sleep 8 hours a night, and the plethora of other things we do day to day. 

However, we all have that. And some people manage to make time for their workouts & meal prepping while others don’t. 

We all know how much fun fall is but that also comes with more treats, desserts, and wanting to be cozied up on the couch without moving. Here are 5 things you can do to keep burning calories this fall!

We are 3 weeks away from the big day and we are slowly dwindling out to-do list down. But there are so many last minute items that can slip through the crack. I’m also on wedding tiktok where everyone is in procrastination mode and it has me stressed more than I need to be!!

We have had enough teachers. It’s time we take back our mental health this year and start focusing on us without feeling guilty for it. Through the last couple years and the mass exodus of teachers leaving the profession, we cannot keep doing what we’ve been doing and think we won’t get burnt out too. There’s a lot that needs to change from higher levels of the education world to make significant changes to our schools and profession. But we can’t wait around for that. It starts within us. And it starts this year.

My daily supplement routine used to be so obnoxious, I tried taking everything under the sun. I’ve really refined it and try to get a majority of my nutrients from whole food sources!

Well, I officially have 4 months before the wedding and I am starting to get into the zone on my nutrition. Over the course of the last 6 months I have been working on increasing my calories to build up my metabolism and put on a good amount of muscle. Now over the course of the next 4 months I will be working in the opposite direction to slim down!

I definitely played into the belief that the only thing that mattered in my nutrition was the macros on the nutrition. I literally wouldn’t care about how many ingredients or what those ingredients were, where the food came from, etc. Until I started to feel bloated, tired, more anxious, and wasn’t seeing results like before. So, this summer I have dedicated it to my own health, not my physical body!

There are many variations of ab exercises you can do to continue to build a strong core. Having a strong core is going to be more useful than simply looking jacked and having a 6 pack. It increases stability, performance, balance, decreases chance of injury, and helps improve strength in all other exercises or cardio.

I am usually rushing out of the house in the mornings and this high protein breakfast is one of my go-to’s. It is so easy to put together and tastes delicious! Add your favorite toppings just like you would a pancake.

People have complicated teaching. You can disagree with me on that but I think back to my years in elementary school and middle school and I remember half of the things I learned.

My next big home project is re-doing my home office. I got it all painted but now I have a ton of mix-matched furniture and decorations that just need to be updated. It’s like things from my parents house I took back, stuff from college, and other things from all over the place I’ve collected. So, we need some updates and I’m trying to do it as cheap as possible!

Everyone knows the feeling of trying to cover up their body in the gym and stay hidden away because they don’t want anyone to see them. You may have been embarrassed of the how you looked, what you were wearing, not knowing if you were doing an exercise correctly. 

On Friday I went and got dry needling done for the first time at the gym I work at. I was in for a movement assessment and the PT asked if I wanted to try it out on my shoulders and I said why not! It was very interesting and something I’ve never done before and here’s how it went.

In college I would restrict myself all week long and eat only quote unquote healthy foods and then the weekend would come around and I’d have a huge cheat day

It has been almost a year since I had a fitness coach but I realized I was cheating myself out of everything I wanted in life and I was going backwards. I invested in my coach less than a month ago and my life has already starting progressing.

We all start somewhere but when I started getting into weight lifting I knew nothing. Absolutely nothing. I would get all of my workouts off of Pinterest and I’d be spinning my wheels in the gym for an hour. 6 months later and I wasn’t seeing many results. Fast forward to now and I coach people who are new to the gym to help them not make some of the mistakes I have!

Electrolytes play a huge role in your bodies ability to have healthy and thriving cells, thus a healthy body. They are powerful contributors to the way our bodies produces energy in and out of the gym!

Honestly it’s never easy but I would say 75-80% of the time I look forward to going to the gym and eating healthy. I think everyones different and some people are naturally inclined to it vs others, but these are some of things that help me stay motivated throughout the year!

Everybody wants to lose weight, but what you actually want is to lose fat. The scale shows you every thing in your body in relation to how much it weighs.

If you do these 5, you’ll see progress.

Bloating shouldn’t be normal but often times we are stuck feeling so gross after a meal or at the end of the day. Your bloating is your body gaining inflammation so that it protects itself from something it doesn’t like. But, our goal is to stop that from happening as much as possible because there is something going on in your body that it doesn’t like. The key is really getting to the root of it.

Drinking water is so difficult as a teacher (and for anyone else) because unless you’re strategic about it, you’ll be left with 64oz to drink before bed.
