Exercise posts, social media, specificity, and injuries.

Looking back on our July trip to…October! Can’t get enough of these photos, can you? i❤️Cascade’s beauty. It’s spiritual. PS I gotta say that for me workout pics are so boooring. I’d rather post pics of the things we all can do as a result of our workouts. Also, the specific movements you do need to be specific to YOU, your abilities, injury history, limitations, goals, etc. SO that’s why I’m not wild about you taking my movements that I may post for myself and do them randomly on your own. Make sense? PSS I’m gonna say this .. please pay extra CAUTION to movements of extreme flexibility. VERY TRENDY now. (yoga.. crazy sometimes. There I said it). Here’s why: In my 20’s I thought I was SO cool because I was able to do the splits. I used to make tapes (yes, tapes) of music for my classes sitting in the splits with my chest on the floor. (I still collect music/make playlists. Always have. Always will!) Follow that up with whipping a 9.0 McTavish and a 10.0 Boss longboard around (you do that with your hips) and the result? 2 metal hips. Am I good? 💯percent. What metal?! Haha. 👉DM me for specific exercises and workouts that are perfect for YOU.. ‘cause I’m really good at that😊 . . #stayingfitforeverythingrocks #fitover60 #strengthtraining #endurancetraining #plantbaseddiet #lifeisbeautiful #natureisbeautiful #letspreservenature #letssaveanimals #purpose #goals #latimes #elsegundo #manhattanbeach #hermosabeach #playavista #dtlaweekly #meaningfullife 🙌🌱🐾💚

This weather is SO tropical.. I LOVE it! I know it’s sticky/humid, and were all sweating more than usual, and it’s been hot, but are you letting that interfere with your workouts? I hope not. It’s just not worth skipping, getting out of shape, losing muscle tone, feeling sluggish, low energy, etc. Then struggling to get back in the swing of things.. yuck. Not fun don’t you think?Just get out there, stop your mind in it’s tracks from saying, ‘Well.. I don’t really feel like it today, do I? It’s too hot.. should I do it or.. hmm. Do I have time?’ Just GO, think strong, crank it out, and always flash forward (I do when I hesitate) to how you’ll feel when you’re done. It’s awesome, right?!! *Please don’t think for one minuto (my Paramount clients in Latin TV sales used to say this) that you need to be fit to start training with me. Not a chance! My clients range in age from 25-90, are not fit to very fit to knee problem to foot, back problem.. SO jump int! DM me anytime* I’m writing this because a super client of ours @area44fitness surprised me the other day and told me ‘You keep me going.. your posts’. I had no idea. Thanks to that special guy.😊That makes it all worth it. That’s why I rack my brain to say the right things, at the right time, to hopefully inspire you guys to take such good care of yourselves, everyday, in every way. 👉What do you think?

All you need for a run!

I hear the ‘I don’t have time today’ excuse more than any other when most of the time I think, ‘How can you not find 20 or 30 minutes for yourself at the very least?’

I schedule my workouts on my calendar so that I can a. feel good b. stay healthy c. stay fit d. set an example and then I hope to in turn inspire my clients and friends to take care of themselves. Ultimately, I am much better prepared mentally to take care of all the people in my life and treat them with the utmost respect. I think that we are all much better people for others at home and at work if we are as good as we can be to ourselves first. Life looks shinier when we take care of our health, and it positively influences the big decisions we also make for our lives and each other. Enjoy!
