We may not have been able to feel our fingers or our toes, but so much fun was had - sweating (maybe a little?), moving and laughing through our last class of the year. The best NYE sunrise workout at my favorite place with some of my favorite people.

Core work isn’t about doing more crunches—it’s about creating stability, control, and full-body connection, and each of these moves trains the core to stabilize, support, and transfer strength through the entire body.

𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒌 - 𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑨𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒆𝒈 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆
Pulling the straps down engages the lats and posterior chain, forcing the core to stabilize as the legs move. It trains total-body tension, coordination, and true core strength.

𝑺𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝑹𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏- 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒑 
Light up the obliques while the shoulders and back stabilize against resistance, building lateral strength, rotational control, and shoulder stability.

𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉- 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒔
Keeping the hips grounded while marching the feet targets the transverse abs, hip flexors, and glutes, teaching the core to control the pelvis during lower-body movement. Progress to hips lifted for extra 🍑 and deeper core.

30lbs is the heaviest I’ve ever lifted for a shoulder press. I was up to 25lbs for 30 reps years ago, but since my focus has shifted a little, so has my weight. This was also part of a 8/10/12 rep set, starting with 30lbs for 8 reps, then 25lb and 20lb for 10 and 12 reps.

I may have only performed 1 set with the 30lb weights, but it’s enough overall to increase strength.

Next week I’ll aim for 2 sets.

What comfort zone is is time for you to break out of?

Never thought I’d appreciate an 🦅 Eagles night game, but it gave me a whole day in the kitchen to prep for the week.

My body doesn’t always cue hunger the way it should, so if I don’t plan ahead, I end up missing meals or eating way too late because I’ve got nothing prepped for my busy days.

This week’s lineup:
• Overnight oats for pre/post workout
• Scrambled eggs for breakfast (with rice or Dave’s Killer Bread)
• Ground turkey / chicken, Rice with peppers + onions & Japanese sweet potato for lunch

Fuel prepped ✔️ Week ready ✔️

Not every meal will be perfect. Not every meal needs to be perfect. Because this is real life, isn’t it?
Sometimes you need to get some protein, you don’t have a lot of time to make a meal (yes I know I should meal prep! 🫣), but you also want to use up the last of something that’s been in your fridge. Throw it in a bowl and voilà.

💪🏼 20g Protein
Brown rice, Just Bare Chicken and Costco dip 🍚
Pair with a spinach salad (or edamame for even more protein.)
