What are your current training goals? I have two official training goals right now… 1) I run a 5k in May (this will be by 6th one) and my goal is to get my time under 21 minutes this year. 2) I want to be able to do 5 pull-ups by the start of summer and I have a great 6 week plan that I am starting this week! My ongoing goal is to train for LIFE! Jumping over puddles to get to my car in the rain, carrying my 80lb kid to bed when he falls asleep on the couch, climbing the stairs with ALL of the groceries in ONE trip and staying injury free all the while! And my secret goal is to beat my 9 year old in the 100 meter dash! Up until this year, I had it in the bag…now, he’s got my number! Why did you become a trainer? I always wanted to work in a job where I could make a difference in a person’s life. After getting my Master’s in Psychology and working in the San Francisco school system, I realized that my true passion was fitness. That is where I felt most comfortable, most needed and definitely happy! I am thankful to be able to use what I learned in psychology when training people-they actually go hand in hand. I believe the best treatment for anxiety, depression, stress, anger, lack of self esteem, addiction and life comes from exercise and training for your goals. What is your training or sport background? Growing up, I played volleyball and ran track. I always worked out at the gym but was stuck in the mindset that “cardio is king” and “heavy weights will make me bulky!” I would mindlessly climb away on the stairmaster and lift 5lb weights until I “felt the burn.” It wasn’t until I got my PT certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, that I realized picking up the heavy weights gave me results like I had never seen before. I ditched the long boring hours spent on the elliptical and added in short high intensity intervals and sprints and my body changed…go figure! I then got my IKFF Level 1 Kettlebell Certification and TRX Certification and AFFA Group Exercise Certification. I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it! Who is your favorite fitness person and why? Molly Galbraith of Girls Gone Strong!! She empowers women to embrace their bodies no matter what the scale says and encourages women to be strong and healthy, not weak and skinny. Neghar Fonooni is a blogger, personal trainer, and all-around badass. She delivers equal parts fitness and nutrition tips and positive thoughts on self-love and self-acceptance. Adam Bornstein: he takes all of the conflicting information that’s out there, in regards to fitness and diet, and tries to simplify it for his readers. Also, Mike Boyle, Eric Cressey and Alwyn Cosgrove because I have learned so much from all of them in regards to programming, risk vs reward exercises and proper form. Do you use any fitness apps on your phone? My Fitness Pal – every couple of months for about a week at a time- just to check in on my caloric intake and macro distribution. Map My Run or Runkeeper to log my miles. Rock My Run or Pyro for workout music. What is your favorite fitness website? I LOVE Girls Gone Strong, Born Fitness, Breaking Muscle and MobilityWOD. What is your favorite book? Anything by Eckhart Tolle! Foodist by Darya Rose, A practical guide to ending the diet cycle and discovering lasting weight-loss through the love of food and the fundamentals of science. The Metabolism Advantage by John Berardi (Precision Nutrition creator). What is your training philosophy with your clients? Exercise and diet are two of the most important things you can do to improve your life. My training philosophy is centered around creating a program that can incorporate exercise and nutrition into your specific lifestyle in the safest, most effective, most efficient and realistic manner. Set a goal, make a plan, track your achievements, assess the results and tweak for improvement. What are some of your favorite fitness quotes? “The only person you’re trying to beat is the person you were yesterday.” “If you don’t make time for exercise now, you should make time for illness later.” “It is not enough to just do exercise, you should strive to master it.” What is a favorite training program that you’ve done in the past? I have tried so many training programs, from the Primal Blueprint Workout to P90X to the Muscle and Fitness 6 week Fat Blast to Insanity to attending every fitness class in the city of New Orleans (not really a program, but back then, I thought it was!). They all have their pros and cons, but the one thing I learned from trying them all is that I needed to find a program that I actually enjoyed doing, could stick to and one that was created with my goals in mind. I like to train my body like the integrated system that it is rather than just a collection of parts. I believe that ALL training should be goal-oriented and should be designed with that specific goal in mind. If I’m not training for something specific, like running a race, trying to beat a row time or getting stronger on a certain lift, then I am training for life and overall health! So, to answer the question, my favorite training program is one which includes endurance, strength, flexibility, core, speed and power, balance and agility. I focus on the seven movement patterns that I believe are the cornerstone to a functional full body workout- squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull, rotation/anti-rotation and gait. I pair those movements with mobility work and a combination of conditioning intervals and I am ready for anything life throws my way. Format-

So...it has been a while since my last post, but I’m back! We have been quarantined at home for the last 9 weeks and my daily life looks quite different than it did pre Covid-19. The only thing that has remained constant is my workouts. They look a bit different, since we are socially distant and not sharing equipment, but the sense of community, friendship and determination to stay physically and mentally fit (sane🤪) still remains STRONG!!! I am actually more busy than I ever was... teaching outdoor workout classes everyday, doing virtual personal training, and like all other moms, moonlighting as a homeschool teacher. I always wanted to work for myself as a trainer, but never had the courage to go out on my own and do it. Its funny how things happen when you least expect it. This quarantine, and the help of my friends and loyal clients, forced me out of my comfort zone and gave me the drive I needed to make my dream a reality. In a time of uncertainty and fear, I have found my silver lining! Thanks to everyone who has supported me through it all💛
Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a great summer! I'm getting ready to head out for my summer vacation to Siesta Key and Orlando and thought I would share a 30 minute beach workout with y'all. And yes, I'm going to be doing this one too! I try to plan ahead and have a few bodyweight workouts on hand, so that I have no excuses when I'm outside of my normal routine.
I love this workout and use it every time I go to the beach! I usually walk down a ways to get away from the crowd, but if that's not an option, no worries...you may actually motivate someone else to workout too😜 Get in a good 5-10 minute warmup first, and then mark out a home base, near the waters edge. You are going to complete a ladder of push-ups with a sprint from the waters edge to the base of the sand dunes between each set of push-ups and then walk back to the waters edge to recover. I really like the sprint because you go from hard sand to loose sand, making your sprint harder as you go. So, it would look like this... Sprint- 10 Push-ups - Walk back to recover Sprint - 9 Push-ups - Walk back to recover Sprint - 8 Push-ups - Walk back to recover ...and so on until you reach Sprint- 1 Push-up - Walk back to recover If you really want a challenge, do each round every minute on the minute. So, you would start your timer and do 10 Push-ups, sprint up to the sand dunes, walk back to the start and as soon as your timer hits minute 2, go right into 9 push-ups and sprint, walk back and when it hits the 3rd minute, go to 8 push-ups and so on... At the end of 10 minutes, your done! If you don't do the EMOTM format, just complete the ladder at your own pace, resting as little as possible between each round. After finishing the push-up/sprint ladder, rest about 2-3 minutes and then complete the following circuit 3 times... 50 Jumping Jacks 40 Mountain Climbers 30 Squat Jumps 20 Bicycles/side 10 Burpees Cool down, stretch and ENJOY YOUR VACATION!!! Let me know what you think or if you have any questions in the comments below😉 Outdoor WorkoutHere's a great workout for you to take outside to your local soccer, football, baseball field. It does require some running, so consider yourself forewarned😜 You will need about 50 yards of running space (1/2 of a football field), a bench or something you can jump up to or do dips on and definitely some water!
POWER - Sprint and Push-up Ladder (subtract 2 Squat Thrusts after each sprint) 25 yard Sprint Squat Thrust x 10 25 yard Sprint Squat Thrust x 8... Keep repeating, alternating the sprint and squat thrusts, until you complete 2 squat thrusts. If you want more, go back up! STRENGTH - Complete 5 Reps of each exercise in your 1st round, then 10 each, then 15 each and in the last round, complete 20 reps of each. Box Jumps (squat jumps if you can't find a bench) Push-ups (incline- hands on the bench (easier)/decline- feet on the bench (harder)) Rear Foot Elevated Lunges /side Triceps Dips METCON - 45 sec. work/ 15 sec. rest x 3 Rounds 1. Burpees 2. Toe Taps 3. Shuffle w/ Touchdown 4. Jump Lunges 5. Plank Up Downs CORE - EMOTM x 5 minutes 5 V-Ups 10 Spider Plank 15 Bicycles/side Plank until the top of the next minute REPEAT 4 more times! FINISHER - 3 to 5 Rounds (depending on how you feel😜) 50 yard Sprint (as fast as possible) Walk back to start 25 yard Bear Crawl Walking Lunge back to start REPEAT 3-5x I hope you enjoy the workout! Your Power, Strength & Endurance WorkoutHere is a great workout for explosive power, strength and endurance. All you need is one heavy dumbbell (between 10-30 lbs). If you have a small box or stairs for jumps and fast feet, great! If not, I gave you an alternative.
POWER - 5 min ladder - alternate back and forth between Ex. A and Ex. B for 5 min. Ex. A increases by one each set and Ex. B stays at ten reps/side every set. Try to get to 10 Drop Squat Jacks and 10 Climbers before 5 min. is up. Rest 1 min. and then complete the 2nd ladder- same format, for 5 min. A. DB Drop Squat Jacks 1,2,3,4... B. Cross- Body Mt. Climbers 10/side
STRENGTH - EMOTM (Every Minute on the Minute) x 10 minutes At the top of each odd minute (1,3,5,7,9), complete the lower body reps. At the top of each even minute (2,4,6,8,10), complete the upper body reps. The quicker you complete your reps, the more rest you will have. Odd Minute: Bulgarian Lunges R & L x 10/side Jump Lunges x 10 total Even Minute: Tripod Plank Row R & L x 10/side DB Swings x 10 METCON - 60 sec.resistance/10 sec.rest then 30 sec. high intensity/20 sec.rest Complete 2 Rounds A. DB Snatch 30sec.R & 30sec.L (60sec.) Squat Jumps (30sec.) B. Walking Push-ups (60sec.) Skaters (30sec.) C. DB Thrusters 30sec.R & 30sec.L (60sec.) Box Hops (30sec.) or broad jumps if you don't have a box D. Plank Up Downs (60sec.) Line Taps CORE FINISHER - 5 min. Ladder (like above in your Power block, except this time decrease from 10-1)
