Thank you for the all of the feedback on these videos. Seems that everyone loves this style of post for saving for later workouts.
.
This one rounds out the past two video sequences giving you the perfect 3 day split for any given week!
.
Refer back to my last two video posts and use all 3 this week.

Ya know what's missing???

HIIT + Abs!!!! (Coming soon)
.
I really like a split training protocol for strength training for women.
.
A "spit training protocol" means that you are splitting up body parts or movement patterns throughout the week (instead of doing random, or full body workouts)
.
It is NOT muscle confusion or intuitive training.
.
Instead, you strategically plan out what body parts (or movement patterns) you're going to do throughout the week so that you're building the body you want.
.
This allows you to harness biological energy and direct it towards a muscle group, ensuring you provide enough stimulus to actually change the muscle.
.
A mistake I see women make is that they disperse energy all over the place, instead of focusing intention towards a specific goal.
.
Specificity is one of the most important laws when it comes to improving your body.
.
Complete all 4 exercises as straight sets with 30-60 seconds of rest between all sets, aiming for 10-15 reps for 2-3 sets each (all depending on your fitness level and access to appropriate equipment)

I believe that balancing macronutrients is a powerful way to improve energy, balance blood sugar, fuel workouts and effortlessly burn fat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes..."effortlessly"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In fact, after 30 years of coaching people I've found that eating according to macros is the most effective way to lose weight and produce long term benefits with the least amount of restriction.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I teach a 50/25/25 breakdown of carbohydrates, protein and fat, and this recipe is nearly perfectly balanced!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've adapted it from my friend Lauren over at @zestfulkitchen and it's ammaaazzzzing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simply combine all ingredients and let sit overnight. Makes 3 servings of 368 calories each.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
RECIPE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2/3 cup rolled oats⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2/3 cup unsweet almond milk⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1/3 cup nonfat greek yogurt⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4 scoops collagen⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Was it on yours???⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I look back at the last time I was at my best and think..."I feel so far away now...how am I going to get back there?"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was in such a great groove, in flow, on top of my workouts, and eating on point.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then the world took a turn. And now I'm...just off.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you relate?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does it feel like this "new normal" is not so normal?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is your routine so far off track you're lucky to find your way to bed at night?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hear you. loud. and. clear.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Something to keep in mind....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This too shall pass.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hold up....no eye ball rolling. This TOO shall pass!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm not at my best right now. But I'm also not at my worst. Far from it. In some ways, I'm better than I've been in a long time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some things that will help you create good momentum and keep you from falling too far off track.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☝🏻Start talking real sweet to yourself. "I'm so proud of you!" "You're doing SO great" and "Good for you!" are said out loud quite a bit around here 😂😂😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Abusing yourself into progress is so last year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It feels terrible and doesn't really work in the long run.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✌🏻Focus on small, measurable actions that are easy to repeat like drinking half your water bottle before 9am, eating something green every day, and avoiding the bad sugars.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's ok if you're feeling off track right now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's ok if you aren't at your best.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's ok if you feel lost and confused.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And...you have all the power inside of you to rise up, do better, and gracefully make your way through this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm cheering for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The FREE Get Back on Track Challenge starts next week!! I'll be showing you how to create beautiful, supportive momentum so that you can feel that flow again. LINK IN BIO to learn more

What happened to that girl who was larger than life?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where did she go?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is that you've been humbled in the healthy way that life intends for you in this lifetime?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or is it that you've been stifled...criticized...and belittled into something smaller? It might look like humility...but is it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What dreams have been squashed because someone told you to "be realistic"?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That someone who couldn't dream as big as you. That someone who gets scared by grand ideas.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't be realistic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be huge.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be massive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be "way too much"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because that's what's going to set your spirit on fire.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You want to change your body into something extraordinary? DO IT.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You want to do something radical, and revolutionary, and ground breaking?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DO IT.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I'll be over here cheering hard.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

3 Moves to Fire Up Your Glutes (and Counter Too Mu

3 Moves to Fire Up Your Glutes (and Counter Too Much Sitting)
.
Sitting really is the new smoking. Here's why...
*Research shows that those who sit for most of the day are twice as likely to develop heart disease
*Mood disorders, depression and dementia are all linked to too much sitting
*Prolonged sitting shortens muscles like hip flexors and hamstrings, and weakens the core muscles, causing poor stabilization of the pelvis.
*An object at rest stays at rest (unless acted upon by a stronger force)
.
I recommend standing up, moving, and doing corrective exercises every hour (unless you're binging Tiger King)
.
These 3 moves are great to use throughout the day to improve muscular contraction of the glutes, pelvic alignment, and hip mobility.
.
⭐️⭐️⭐️These moves are particularly dependent on your mental focus. Really concentrate on activating your glutes when performing these and squeeeeeeze hard.
.
Prone Leg Raise: Try to relax everything except for your glutes, and a little bit of hamstring and low back.
Cook Hip Lift: This is NOT a glute bridge! Focus on driving your heel into the ground to activate your glutes. You only need to lift your hips 2-4 inches.
Hip Hike: Concentrate on pressing upward with the glutes of the standing leg to activate Glute Medius.
.
Do them 1-3 times each day and notice how much better you feel!
.
And no, I personally don't think Carole murdered her husband. As he said, if he could pull this off, it would be his best trick yet. I think he figure out a way to escape to Costa Rica 🤷‍♀️What do you think???

*The moves are part of The GLUTES Project ACTIVATE program

The incredible (and heartbreaking) story of how Bu

The incredible (and heartbreaking) story of how Buckley chose me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Four years ago I was hit with debilitating anxiety that came on out of nowhere. At the time, I had no idea that it was the result of living in an apartment building infested with toxic mold.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking I was having a nervous breakdown, I sought the help of doctors and therapists. One therapist told me to get a TV (at the time I didn't have one because I thought watching TV was a waste of time. That was before I discovered Netflix 🤣)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Another doctor told me to get a dog.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being an overachiever, I did both. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A friend's Australian Sheppard was pregnant, so I reserved one of the puppies, and started getting really excited. I talked about it for months, planned, told all my friends, picked a name...all the things a soon-to-be-mom does.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Months later, the puppies arrived, and I watched the puppy cam non stop!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Until the puppy cam mysteriously shut down one day. Because the entire litter died from parvo.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you can imagine I was heartbroken. Maybe it was a sign that I'm not supposed to be a dog mom? It tore me up. And I decided to put the dog thing on hold. Clearly, the universe had spoken!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many months later, I got a phone call that another litter was on the way. And I knew without a doubt I wanted one.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I got the pick of the litter. And Buckley is his name.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two years later now, I understand why my doctor wanted me to get him. My brain gets flooded with love and those awesome neurotransmitters every morning when he squeals in delight as I wake up.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're struggling with all the feels lately, love up on your pet even more. Research shows that petting an animal reduces cortisol and promotes feelings of love, calmness, and connection.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Good things can come from tragedy. It will never make any sense to me, or feel fair. But if you ride the ride, and wait out the storm, beauty does come.
