Summer is here and we tend to always be on the go🏃‍♀️🌞

Between events for work or the kids, vacations, and the daily to-do list, keeping up with your fitness routine can easily get lost in the chaos! The FitGo Bag makes it super easy to incorporate fitness into your life, wherever you’re at…

With 3 resistance bands, 1 resistance cord, 2 dual-sided sliders, and a b***y band, you’re all set for a full body workout without dragging along any heavy equipment! For a busy summer on the move, grab a bag on my website with the link in my bio✨🥳

Feeling lucky to be starting the day with homemade sourdough english muffins topped with pesto, tomato, egg, arugula and banana peppers✨

It’s always nice to have a slower morning where you have some time to create a beautiful meal, but that isn’t always the case - Our schedules are busy and the time isn’t always there!

For those faster paced mornings, try these quick easy options to start the day:

-Overnight oats, prepped the evening before
-Protein smoothie (tossing in some spinach or other easy to hide veggies is always a bonus!)
-Cottage cheese or greek yogurt topped with granola and fruit
-Make-ahead frozen breakfast burritos
-Homemade protein muffins or oat bake

Getting prepped or having easy and quick healthy options on hand makes all of the difference! 🥬

Bird Dog Crunch Spotlight🔦⚡️

Love this dynamic core exercise for improving spinal stability, balance, and glute strength! Working on those little stabilizing muscles that don’t always get the attention they need is so important for posture and overall performance.

Core workouts are more than just sit ups - This is a great way to avoid any neck strain as well. Shift the focus to your core, move slow and controlled, and keep a nice flat back.

Add this move into your workouts for the week for a perfect core burn🔥🔥🔥

Strength training & protein have become a big focus in the fitness community, but for good reason!⚡️

Fitness trends will come and go but there will always be a few things that will never go out of style. Stressing your skeletal system during resistance training increases bone mass and density which is vital for reducing the risk of osteoporosis or fractures as we get older. It also enhances your metabolism, strengthens the muscles around your joints, and improves your balance, your cardiovascular health, and your mobility.

Protein is going to be your source for repairing and rebuilding afterwards! Take care of your body NOW before it really starts to feel like it needs it.✨🙏

Some days it’s a PR. Some days it’s just showing up. Both count🙌

When I get to teach these classes, I love to see everyone in the class on their own journeys. You may be in the same body each day, but it can feel completely different based on what you ate, what you did the day before, how much you slept, where you are, etc.

Give yourself grace for the body you are in today! If that means just showing up and finding joy in a little bit of movement, then lean into it. If you’re feeling strong and ready to push some boundaries, go for it - Either way, do it without judgment of yourself!

Take your fitness journey day by day✨

Fueling after a workout🔑⬇️

After completing a workout, your body is looking for protein to help repair and rebuild your muscles, while also helping to decrease soreness!

The optimal window is about 30-60 minutes after the window, but it is recommended to refuel at least 45 mins - 2 hours after in order to receive the benefits.

Easy recovery snacks include protein shakes, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and lean meats or fish with veggies! Taking care of our bodies post-workout with cool downs, stretching, and refueling is essential - Your body will bounce back stronger and with more energy💪⚡️
