Wellness 4 Life

This was our first Lady Vols and Men’s Basketball season. Crazy how we had never even attended a game prior and suddenly became season pass holders 🧡

I bought the tickets on a whim because I wanted unique experiences with my family and before I knew it - we were ALL VOLS!

I loved the time with my kiddos (Carlos and I even managed a few dates). We enjoyed every moment watching the teams grow. To see the season end definitely leaves a void in our family.

Wishing all the seniors the best as they begin their next chapters. Thank you .21 for all of the wonderful memories and inspiring our love for VOLS Basketball 🏀

I can sit at home and think about my goals or I can do something about them.

What are your health goals this summer?

Did you know the weight gained between October to January takes more than 5 months to loose?

Don’t get me wrong, I love sweet treats, but I definitely don’t need 150 pieces floating around my house nor do I want to spend half of the new year trying to work it off.

Moderation is key.

It’s 4:55am and my alarm goes off.

I dress and head to the gym to train my first client. By 7:45am, I am welcoming my class and preparing my playlist for our Core workout.

I run home to shower, answer work emails and prepare to teach a different group - my high school Nutrition students.

People often say, “I have no idea how you juggle so much.” For me, it’s about passion and purpose.

God prepared me for such a season as this - to pour into others and influence their health stories ❤️

I am so thankful He chose me for these assignments.

Sometimes we all need a reminder 💗

I am often asked by my clients, “What should I do for ‘homework’ between training sessions?”

My answer is simple.

Core.

Core exercises train our pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work together which leads to better balance and stability.

Check out this 5 minute core routine.

My “mission field” may look different from yours….

I could share countless stories of people I have met, their battle with disease, weight loss, or making their health a priority.

There is one man’s story that I carry in my heart every day….His name is Bob.

Bob is retired yet he makes his way to the gym multiple times a week to exercise. He has an intense look. The first time I met him, I wasn’t sure how to interpret his deep stare. It was as if he could see into my soul.

Bob would approach me after class and tell me how much he enjoyed my instruction. He gave me a big smile and a fist bump to affirm our new friendship. I would joke about how his classmates shared of his being a former All State running back. I orchestrated, “footballers,” a common drill for Bob from his younger days. He would give a big smile and get to work.

One day after class, Bob walked up to thank me and asked, “Did I tell you that I played football?” I replied, “No, but your friends did.” He looked sadly at me and said, “I cannot remember.”

My heart sank.

Those that know my story know how my dad died. His battle with Alzheimer’s changed me forever. It also gave me focus to pursue health and wellness not only for myself but for others.

I am so thankful God opened the door for me to pour into men and women by helping them with healthy mindset and movement. How He creatively weaves my path with others never ceases to amaze me 💗
