You say you don’t need a plan, but most women that I work with find that the plans in Move Your Body help them with consistency—and that’s where progress is made. My membership is the best place to get guidance on form PLUS find the support and accountability to get consistent.
I strength train 3-4 days a week. This is exactly how I program inside of my Move Your Body membership.
I MOVE MY BODY DAILY. Walks/ hikes/ dance parties/ chores… every little bit of movement I can get!
I don’t smash myself daily because I HAVE OTHER THINGS IN MY LIFE THAT I WANT TO HAVE ENERGY FOR.
Also, sleeping + resting are legit the secret to getting stronger, no matter your age.
My family, my job… I don’t want to blow my load lifting weights and have nothing left to give.
Luckily I learned that hard AF lesson on balance 10 years ago. I pushed my body SO HARD and ignored what it was trying to tell me that it messed me up SO BAD that I ended up hitting rock bottom.
Let me remind you:
It doesn’t have to be an hour “to count.”
You don’t have to be a sweaty mess “for it to count.”
You don’t need to burn 500 cals on your smartwatch “for your workout to count.”
You don’t need to be so sore you can’t walk “for it to count.”
As we get older and life gets busier, YOU HAVE TO ADOPT A PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION, attitude toward your health + fitness goals.
My mission is to help spread this belief to all women who still have an “ALL OR NOTHING “ mentality.
You CAN get an effective + efficient workout with limited equipment while you’re on the go. Whether you are 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 or 80 you can make this work. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes 👊🏼
Deadlifts-10 ( 1 legged or bilateral)
Bent Over Row-12/12
Squat/ squat thrust -12
Kneeling push-up (inhale down, exhale push away)-10
Tricep iso hold ( inhale into chest + upper back) 1 minute
Repeat for 3-4 rounds!
Here is another recipe my girls LOVE. If my kids enjoy it, I have to share. These meatballs are great for when you're on-the-go, and they're versatile, so feel free to substitute with your favorite ingredients. I used chicken, spinach, sweet potato + blueberries 😋

I learn so much from the Huberman Lab podcast, and this recent episode is a worthwhile listen for men and women alike. Dr. Huberman interviews Dr. Sara Gottfried, a Harvard-trained gynecologist and assistant clinical professor of integrative medicine and nutritional science. They talk about female hormone health, from puberty to menopause. The discussion includes actionable tools we can use for ourselves AND our children to improve our overall health and longevity. Give it a listen during your commute or cardio.
XOXO,

This past week I sent my 7 and 9 year old off on their first day of 2nd and 4th grade. The bus came back, they got off safely, and I was able to exhale a little. Not every mom was that fortunate. It’s no wonder moms are anxious—it’s hard NOT to carry unnecessary tension in our bodies! If I could teach all women ONE thing when it comes to strength training and their pelvic floor, it would be how to hinge well. Why? Because when you learn to hinge… You protect your low back (instead of...
If you’ve ever thought… “Why does my back ache after squats?” “Why am I leaking when I deadlift heavy?” “Why does my core still feel weak even though I’m strong?” The missing link isn’t MORE core exercises. It’s HOW you’re breathing and how your ribcage + pelvis are stacked when you move. Here’s the breakdown (and I’ve got 3 short videos for you below to SHOW you what I mean): 1️⃣ Your ribcage + pelvis have to STACK. If they’re out of alignment, your diaphragm can’t do its job and your core +...
A couple weeks ago, I joined my good friend Jordan Syatt on his podcast. And the response has been incredible. Women from all over have been writing in to share their stories: “I almost cried a couple times. I felt seen.” “I finally feel encouraged that I can improve things without having surgery.” “Listening to you made what I am experiencing feel less humiliating.” “I’ve been trying to keep up with everyone—and that’s exactly what got me here.” “I have been having so much trouble with...
