I respect the determination.

But what price are we willing to pay for a medal or a record?

And when does the achievement become more important than what we’re asking our bodies to endure?

Challenge vs killing your body.

I'm just not willing to let my body pay the price anymore.

And neither are my clients. 💕

To the women I trained in my 20s and 30s who were navigating perimenopause…

I believed you. I had empathy. But I’m not sure I fully understood.

Now that I’m here myself?

I GET IT. 😂

Consider this my apology 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

And to the younger trainers—or male trainers—coaching women through this stage of life:

Education gives us knowledge.
Experience gives us perspective. 🩷
Listen to these ladies.

I get ridiculously excited when a client starts to understand their own body.

And I mean ridiculously excited.

Some might even say slightly obnoxious. 😂

I get excited when you recognize that you're out of alignment before I tell you.

When I give you a cue from across the room and you know how to reorganize your body to find a better position.

When you slow something down because you can feel yourself losing control.

When you realize where you're compensating—and know how to adjust.

When you don't just do the exercise.

You understand what you're doing.

Yesterday was one of those moments.

I watched a client realize on her own that her body wasn't quite where she wanted it. She stopped, adjusted, found her alignment and continued.

I immediately walked over and gave her a high five. 🙌🏻.

And maybe a few star jumps too
🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️ (not kidding🤪)

Not because she lifted more weight.

Not because she did more reps.

Not because she went faster, deeper or harder.

Because she noticed.

That's the stuff I celebrate.

Because weight can be added. Reps can be added. Speed can be increased. Intensity can be progressed.

But first, I want you to know what you're adding all of that to.

Before you add more, know what you're adding more to.

That's a pretty big deal around here.

And yes, I'll probably get obnoxiously excited when you get it. 😂

Every rep is doing more than moving a weight or completing an exercise.

It's reinforcing something.

That's why I'm interested in more than how many reps you completed, how much weight you lifted, how much you sweat, or how deep you went in a posture.

I'm watching what happens while you're doing it.

What changes as you fatigue?

Can you maintain control?

Do you recognize when you've moved out of alignment?

Are you getting stronger within a good movement pattern — or simply getting better at repeating the one your body already defaults to?

Because repetition doesn't automatically make a movement better.

It can also make a pattern more familiar.

And this doesn't stop when the workout ends.

Our bodies spend far more time sitting, standing, walking and sleeping than they do exercising — and those repeated positions and patterns come into the workout with us.

That's something I'll talk more about another day.

But for now, the next time you're counting reps, maybe add one more question:

What am I reinforcing?

Because what you're building through those reps matters just as much as how many you finish.

"I want to see what my body is capable of."

Because my definition of a capable body has changed.

Capability is often demonstrated through extremes.

The marathon.

The Ironman.

The heaviest lift.

The deepest pose.

The brutal workout.

And those can absolutely be incredible accomplishments.

They're just not the way I personally want to measure the capability of my body.

I want a body that is versatile.

I want to be strong AND mobile.

Stable AND flexible.

I want to hike.

Dance.

Travel.

Lift something heavy.

Get on and off the floor easily.

Move in different directions.

Learn something completely new.

And still have enough left to enjoy the rest of my day.

I'm not particularly interested in discovering the maximum amount my body can endure.

I'm interested in maintaining and expanding the number of things my body allows me to do.

At 49, that's what capable means to me.

"YouI can do hard things.”

A "motivational" quote said often in the fitness industry.

And yes — there is absolutely value in challenging ourselves and discovering that we can do something difficult.

But since turning 49, I've been thinking about this differently.

When did something being HARD become evidence that it was good for our body?

Because getting through something doesn't necessarily mean it benefited us.

Pushing through aches, pains, injuries and pure exhaustion, doesn't equal a good workout

I still want to challenge my body. I want to be strong. I want to learn new things. I want to see what my body can do.

I just don't need to continually prove how much it can tolerate.

Challenge - yes.
Kill - no.

At 49, I'm much more interested in building a body that can continue doing lots of things.

The goal isn't to survive a workout
It's to actually benefit from it so that I can stay active and independent now and into my later years

YOU’RE NOT PAYING ME TO COUNT YOUR REPS.

A trainer can count your reps.

A program can tell you what exercise comes next.

But neither of those things can replace someone actually watching how you move.

I’m watching what changes when you get tired. Where you compensate. What your joints are doing. What feels different today. When you’re ready for more — and when more isn’t actually the answer.

That’s the part of training I’ve become more interested in after nearly 30 years in this field.

The workout matters.

But what happens during the workout tells me so much more.

That’s more than training
That's coaching.
That's working with a movement specialist.
That's working with a teacher.

That's what it is like working with me 💕
