The term functional fitness gets tossed around a heck of a lot these days. In this episode I discuss what this means to me, what function is and how it's different for us all, how your 'why' behind your training will determine 'how' you train, and I also offer some challenging questions around your long-term fitness goals. Enjoy 🙌
When it comes to your weight, fitness, or health, do you enjoy the feeling of making progress only to fall off and lose all of your gains? Hell NO you don't. But that is what so many of you are doing...you're riding this rollercoaster ride where you're crushing your goals for a couple months, then you fall off and lose it all the next two months. And this continues for months and even years. It's time to STOP!
In this episode, I explain this proverbial rollercoaster ride, talk about why it happens, and most importantly, how to get off.
Enjoy :)
Today I’m discussing some very common phrases I hear that I believe should be eliminated from your daily life. Sayings like, “I can’t” and “I don’t have time for that.” These sayings are disempowering and are holding most of us back.
Losing weight can be a daunting task...workouts, dieting, limiting your favorite foods, etc. In this episode I break down when food tracking is most needed and when it’s not. Enjoy 🙌
