Some of the workouts I’m most proud of are the ones I really, really didn’t want to be there for.

Not because I crushed the workout….
Sometimes I didn’t, sometimes I was tired, frustrated, distracted, or counting down the sets until I could leave

But I showed up.

I think we assume that people who train consistently must always be motivated. I know, I’m not.

I’ve just learned to remove the opportunity to argue with myself. I know I’ll never feel like showing up every time, so I stopped expecting myself to

But consistency also doesn’t mean blindly pushing through everything.

Sometimes your body needs rest.
Sometimes life needs your attention. Sometimes the better choice is to go outside, enjoy the sunshine, and actually live your life.

The work is learning the difference between “I don’t feel like it” and “I genuinely need to pause.”

Knowing when to push and knowing when to pause, and trusting yourself enough to know the difference.

Because every time you show up when it matters, you build trust with yourself.

And sometimes the hard thing isn’t the workout.

It’s simply walking through the door.

You might surprise yourself with what you can handle once you get there.

Been a little busy actually coaching instead of posting about coaching 😂

But don’t worry, more content is coming 👀

I really believe regularly choosing to do hard things makes the rest of life feel a little more manageable…

And sharing those hard things with people who make you want to come back every week? That’s pretty special 🙌🏻

A little shoutout to everyone who’s ever joined me for a Wednesday conditioning workout💪🏻🫶🏻

These workouts used to be something I tackled on my own, and while they definitely reminded me I was capable of doing hard things… they’re a whole lot more fun with good people beside me😊

Whether you’re there every Wednesday or you’ve made a guest appearance, thank you for showing up, working hard, complaining through the workout, and somehow still leaving with a smile👏🏻

Wouldn’t wanna suffer with anyone else💪🏻🫶🏻

I have absolutely nothing against aesthetic goals

I just think we deserve goals that go deeper than shrinking ourselves🤷🏼‍♀️

Because stronger bones, healthier hormones, more muscle, fewer injuries, more confidence, and feeling capable every day?

Those are things no number on the scale can give you

you can’t always control how you feel walking in.

you can only control that you show up.

and that’s enough.

The GHD is one of my favourite machines in the gym, but I used to walk right past it!!
