Full bloom #roselily #cutflowers #plantsky

Rose lily is my new favorite #flower #roselily #plantsky

The upside of #perimenopause #brainfog when you show up to your appointment at the time you meant to leave for your appointment and get a peaceful morning walk after a #snow on the #springblooms in a cute neighborhood

As easy as a 10 min walk after meals sounds, it’s not always possible during a hectic work day. Here’s my solution to get more general movement in a day. 20 air squats or 3 cumulative min of wall sits is a no-equipment solution. #fitnesssky #perimenopause #fitsky #gymsky

Building muscle in midlife is slower and harder, but not only is it possible, it’s 100% with the effort. #perimenopause #gymsky #fitsky #fitnesssky

I learned the hard way so maybe you don’t have to. #gymsky #fitsky #fitnesssky #womenover40 #perimenopausefitness

Warning: do not leave alone with thoughts #anxiety #intrusivethoughts #memes

This move was a game changer for me to be able to isolate and load the quads pain free! Bonus points if you can keep your torso upright #kneeosteoarthritis #quadstrength #gymsky #fitnesssky #fitsky

Don’t waste your time trying to muster up the energy for your entire workout. Just get out the door and let momentum take over. #gymsky #fitsky #gymmotivation #fitnesstips

No one warned us. #genx #hrt #perimenopause #womenover40

I’m not willing to be as restrictive as it takes to get more dramatic results, but I’m proud of my hard work at the age of 48 with a litany of physical ailments and having to work twice as hard to get half the results. #midlifefitness #womenover40 #fitsky #fitnesssky #gymsky #coffee #perimenopause

Most people don’t know what I deal with day to day, but I know my quality of life is better bc I prioritize strength. I’m excited to start taking on clients, I have a few lined up and can’t wait! #midlifemuscle #fitnesssky #perimenopause #midlifewomen #gymsky #fitsky #invisibleillness

No matter what you think the future will look like, you’re wrong. Keep rediscovering passion and purpose and believe that will set you on the right path. This is what 48 looks like. #gymsky #fitsky #fitnesssky #midlifefitness #nextphase #perimenopause #midlifewomen

Progression from quadruped hold - helps strengthen core stabilizers which, when weak, can contribute to low back pain. #fitsky #fitnesssky #gymsky

Can’t tell by my rbf, but super excited to kick off running my own programming today. The ultimate customization! 4 day/wk push pull splits 2 full body 2 upper Running a corrective exercise protocol and regressing glutes as part of it bc slow is fast. #fitsky #fitnesssky #gymsky #midlifefitness

Good morning. 🌱 Spring is almost here! 🥶 Days are thawing

Bought my first new couch ever at the age of 48. Twas time. #adulting #homedecor #nesting

Here’s one of my favorites to build local core stability and stabilize LPHC which may help mitigate low back pain. #corestability #fitsky #fitnesssky #midlifefitness #perimenopause #over40 #gymsky #cpt

I literally start every single workout with this movement. Critical for #over40 #fitsky #fitnesssky #gymsky #corestability #midlifefitness

Playing around with my “core” strategy. At 48yo, staying in maintenance bc priority is muscle and workout intensity. Been adding volume w loaded spinal flexion exercises. 4 weeks isn’t much, but starting to see baby gains. #fitsky #fitnesssky #midlifefitness #gymsky #perimenopause

How it feels to brave two inches of snow to get to the gym on a Saturday… #gymsky #fitsky #fitnesssky #winter #introvertproblems
