Here’s a pro tip if it sounds too good to be true it is. I guess it’s boring to say that spicy foods are delicious (for those that can take the heat ) and have vitamins and minerals that are good for us. Or that green tea and blueberries and grapefruit all have a bunch of health benefits that we need also. No we have to throw in some nonsense words like “fat burning”. Can you imagine the people putting out these lists trying to explain to people “yes these foods just burn the fat up!” . I mean really. These foods are healthy, no one is arguing with that. And they do have a bunch of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Great . It’s the wording that we need to be mindful of and we should be aware when something is purely a marketing gimmick. . . . . . . . . . . . . #foodforthought #food4thought #rdapproved #dietitianapproved #dietitiansofinstagram #rdsofinstagram #healthyeah #justeat #eatwellbewell #healthmatters A post shared by Shana Minei Spence,MS,RDN,CDN (@thenutritiontea) on Jun 30, 2020 at 8:12am PDTJun 30, 2020 at 8:12am PDT

IT’S PICNIC SEASON and the weather is actually playing ball! I’m a big fan of salad platters, especially ones that travel well when packed. I love freekah, a roasted green wheat which is packed with protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. This ancient, nutrient dense grain has double the iron of farro and quinoa, and rich is in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc and B vitamins. Wholegrains such as fibre help to reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure and this may be why the Mediterranean, DASH and MIND diets are heart healthy. Freekah also supports our gut microbiome as it is packed with prebiotics and insoluble fibre. This fibre slows the absorption of glucose into the blood , lowering the glycaemic load making it suitable for diabetics. I made this one with lots of green vegetables that needed using up for a nutrient packed meal. *** ALL THE GREENS FREEKAH AND ZA’ATAR SALAD 150g freekah 4 spring onions, finely sliced 150g of broccoli, cut into florets 1 bulb of fennel, sliced 100g peas Handful of flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped 2 tbsp of @zaytoun_cic za’atar 2 tbsp olive oil 60ml extra virgin olive oil Juice of 1 lemon 1 clove of garlic, crushed 75g feta cheese *** 1. Preheat the oven to 180c/ 350F/ Gas mark 4. 2. Arrange the sliced fennel on a lined oven tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and roast for 20 - 25 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, cook the freekah according to directions. When cooked, drain and rinse with cold water. 4. Heat a frying and add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. When hot, add the broccoli florets and the frozen peas and cook for about 3 minutes. 5. When the peas are defrosted and broccoli almost al dente, add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. 6. Remove from the heat and cool. 7. Prepare the dressing by mixing the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, za’atar and season well. 8. Mix the cooked vegetables, freekah, roughly chopped parsley and toss through the dressing. 9. Arrange on a platter and sprinkle over the feta cheese. . . . . . #vegetarianrecipes #meatfreemonday #lowglycemic #mediterraneandiet #mediterraneanfood #londonfoodie #hearthealthy #diabeticrecipes #plantbasedrecipes A post shared by Toral Shah MSc (@theurbankitchen) on Jun 22, 2020 at 10:53am PDTJun 22, 2020 at 10:53am PDT

Low Hang Clean and Jerk Doubles • 135 for 2 dubs. Well thicc boi doubles (where it’s pretty much a cluster set because you rest too much between the reps). • I thought clean and jerk doubles were bad, these are much much harder . • Low hang cleans are probably one of the best things you can do to build strength in your legs and back for the pull from floor to above the knee. • Low hang tends to give you a better “feel” for where your body and the bar should be as you come off the floor. • This is probably the movement I notice correlates closest to my snatch and clean, or low hang goes well and it goes up. The lifts from floor get better too. • @mehmed_fikretov A post shared by Khrys Speed (@kdotspeed) on Jun 30, 2020 at 2:32pm PDTJun 30, 2020 at 2:32pm PDT

When I struggled the most with my relationship with food and my body, it’s because I lived in the extremes. ⠀ “All or nothing” “Good or bad” “Right or wrong” “Motivated or lazy” ⠀ You can’t find peace in the extremes, and I judged myself and others by these metrics. ⠀ But in order to actually find peace with your relationship with food and your body, you have to be able to let go of ideas of what you think your body *should* look like. You have to let go of your “personal preferences”, which I would argue are all learned and conditioned. We are conditioned to believe that smaller bodies are better bodies. ⠀ Society taught us early on which bodies deserve respect, praise, and validation, and which bodies are unworthy and disposable. ⠀ We have to give our bodies permission to just be. To eat when it’s hungry without judging ourselves for being hungry again. To take the shape that it wants to take without wishing it were something else or continuously imagining the ‘ideal’ body for ourselves. To remember that the ‘ideal’ body is just an illusion. Bodies were never meant to look the same. They were designed to be all different shapes, sizes, and colors. ⠀ Most of us struggle with food guilt and shame because deep down we are afraid to allow our bodies to get too far away from what we believe to be the culturally ‘acceptable’ body. We can gain a little bit of weight, but not too much because secretly we enjoy the benefits that come with residing in a smaller body. ⠀ In the midst of a pandemic when everything feels out of control, trying to control our bodies is like grasping for certainty. When everything else is spiraling, we can try to control what we look like, what we eat, and how we move. ⠀ But here’s the reality, life is going to keep happening. This won’t be the first or last time we find ourselves in an unexpected reality. It may not be another pandemic but there will always be another thing. That’s the guarantee of the human experience. ⠀ The constant in every situation is you. You are the only person you have to spend every moment of your life with. Everyone else is optional. You are not. ⠀ [CONTINUED IN COMMENTS] A post shared by Chrissy King | Fitness Coach (@iamchrissyking) on Apr 29, 2020 at 4:13pm PDTApr 29, 2020 at 4:13pm PDT

During an interview yesterday, I made the point that as a plus-size woman when you approach doing anything new for the first time there’s this automatic list that runs through your head... ⠀⠀⠀ - Am I strong enough? - Is there a weight limit? - Will the equipment support me? - Can I fit? - Will I be embarrassed? - Do they have gear my size? ...and the list goes on. ⠀⠀⠀ Over the past couple of years as I’ve gotten to share my story more I see that people get this when it comes to surfing...but it’s the reality for plus-size women and men in almost every indoor and outdoor activity. The fear, doubts and questions, but also the very real and present challenges and roadblocks that we face across industries. ⠀⠀⠀ My journey has become one of not only helping instill belief in women of all shapes and sizes that you can do ALL THE THINGS (cuz you can!!)...but it’s also one where I get to help people who may not have known or realized this become a part of the process of bridging the gap...of meeting our community where they are and breaking down those barriers. ⠀⠀⠀ It’s a journey and we have a long way to go, but at least we’re here and moving the needle forward one conversation and one step at a time. . . . . #plussize #plussizefitness #plussizeyoga #aerialyoga #allbodiesaregoodbodies #sizeinclusive #bodypositive #bodyposi #bodypositivity #plussizeaerial #bodyconfident A post shared by K A N O A (@kanoagreene) on May 28, 2020 at 5:02pm PDTMay 28, 2020 at 5:02pm PDT

Single Leg (Unilateral) strength for Runners these are my favourite varied single leg exercises to challenge the body and core. When we run we land on one leg at a time, therefore being strong on both is super important! It’s tough and many of us will notice differences in strength left to right but no need to alter rep numbers for each side. Work your way through, even if one side feels stickier than another and keep your control. Split Squat- note here I stay quite close in my stance and sink into the glute of my lead leg. My weight is mostly in my front foot, specifically in the middle of my foot and my big toe is screwed into the ground. The knee does not pass over the toes and my pelvis/core is tight sinking into the glute really makes this a tough exercise...add a challenging weight for the extra burn, and also totally remove the weight and you’ll still know about this move the day after! (3 sets 12-15 reps each leg) Single leg balance with press- balance is key here! Focus on staying tight through your core brace like you’re about to be punched, drive the knee up and hold (don’t forget to breathe)!Focus on being tall through the chest and flexing the alternate foot. (3sets 8-10 reps overhead before changing sides). Choose a light weight to press overhead. Single leg jump- plyometric work is key to running strength so make sure you focus on quality here. No more than 4-6 reps each side for 3 sets. Stick the landing for 3-5 secs and earn the right to do the next rep!

Please note: this only applies to those of you with physique goals. You definitely don’t have to change your body if you don’t want to. I encourage everyone to make informed decisions and keep their well-being in mind. ✨ With that said, if you’re setting a scale weight goal - is this really going to help you achieve what you're after? Now, I’m not anti-scale weight by ANY means. However, it's important to understand its limitations, especially using it at the primary means of gauging fat loss success. I’m also not entirely opposed to setting ROUGH scale weight targets as long as you keep an open mind about it. For example, shedding 27lbs off the scale when you thought you might lose 30lbs does not make you a failure at all. At the end of the day, context is everything. Understand that scale weight is merely one data point, and don’t let yourself become fixated on the number. #eatliftthrive A post shared by Sohee Lee (@soheefit) on Jun 18, 2020 at 9:06am PDTJun 18, 2020 at 9:06am PDT

I encourage everyone to make informed decisions and keep their well-being in mind. ✨ With that said, if you’re setting a scale weight goal - is this really going to help you achieve what you're after? Now, I’m not anti-scale weight by ANY means. However, it's important to understand its limitations, especially using it at the primary means of gauging fat loss success. I’m also not entirely opposed to setting ROUGH scale weight targets as long as you keep an open mind about it. For example, shedding 27lbs off the scale when you thought you might lose 30lbs does not make you a failure at all. At the end of the day, context is everything. Understand that scale weight is merely one data point, and don’t let yourself become fixated on the number. #eatliftthrive

I see all of you out there with your homemade quarantine sourdough! If you somehow fail to eat it all before it starts to go stale (rare though, I know), maybe throw it together with some canned beans for a simple panzanella. First, bake your stale cubes into croutons, and then toss with beans, onions, whole leaf parsley. You can dress it with pesto, or a vinaigrette (my favorite formula is olive oil + vinegar + grated garlic + lemon zest). It can go in a million different directions depending on what you have on hand! #quarantinecooking #eeeeeeats #fromwhereieat #fromwhereicook #f52grams #panzanella #sourdoughbread #intuitiveeating A post shared by Eling Tsai MPH RD (@nutritionwitheling) on Apr 24, 2020 at 7:32am PDTApr 24, 2020 at 7:32am PDT

✨I wonder why folks who are considered leaders and who have read Fearing the Black Body continue to separate diet culture and racism. Make this connection: if we’re not socially conditioned to fear becoming Fat/Black then we won’t be impacted by fatphobia and cannot be sold messages and products promising us thinness/whiteness. Why do folks continue to insert diet culture into conversations that are inherently about antiBlackness?

What I wish I knew about green smoothies back in the day: - ADD GINGER OR CINNAMON! - Not only do they add health benefits (like antioxidants + anti-inflammatory properties) but really, they help kinda tone down the “green” flavor that may throw you off if you’re not used to it. - ♀️ I ALWAYS get ginger in my green smoothies if I’m going somewhere like @juiceland or I make sure to have some on hand if I’m making it myself! - I say ginger or cinnamon but really, it’s important to add whatever nutritious food that makes the taste better for YOU.

♂️FUNKY SCAPS The scapula (shoulder blades) rotates, elevates, depresses, protracts, and retracts. It connects to the clavicle and humerus. This is why muscle imbalances, weak points, and tight spots around the shoulder & neck really wreak havoc on it's movement. If you have trouble with SICK scapula, scapular dyskinesis, overhead motion, scapular winging, impingement, and so on, here’s a starting point. Start with the serratus anterior, which stabilizes and protracts the scapula. Start with bodyweight and master the movement (take a video to be sure) before adding bands or weights or plank complexes. ➖Serratus Punches (with band/KB) ➖Push Up Plus (knees down) ➖Push Up Plus (knees up) Also pro tip, don't wear black and roll on the ground without sweeping all the dog hair first . . . . . .

#TransformationTuesdayTip Let's talk about KEEPING the weight off. First, let me let you in on a little secret - losing the weight is actually the easy part. There are a plethora of diets out there that will help you do just this. It’s SUSTAINABILITY that we don’t talk about often enough. When I lost the weight, I was so focused and determined. And then I distinctly remember thinking... “now what”. It’s a process we don’t give enough attention to 98% of people who lose extreme weight gain it back within 3 years This is further backed up by recent study I came across on the "Biggest Loser" winners. They found that of the 14 winners studied, 13 regained a significant portion of the weight they lost on the show And we all know the people we come across in our day to day lives who fluctuates in weight often. I get it. It's hard. But y'all, I'm here today to tell you that it is possible. I'm living proof! I'm approaching year 15 of losing almost 100lbs and getting stronger and healthier each year. So I’d like to think I know a thing or two about leading a healthy lifestyle that lasts♀️ Here’s my NUMBER ONE tip for you if you are embarking on your journey you have GOT to find a realistic lifestyle approach while IN THE PROCESS of losing weight. Nothing extreme ever lasts in this game - trust me. Im not only speaking from personal experience, but from the perspective of the thousands of clients I’ve served. If you approach this journey with sustainability in mind, there is no “keeping it off”... you simply continue to exist! This is why it's my divine mission to help people understand that with the right approach, the right mindset, and the right tools, you can absolutely live a life where you are comfortable in your own skin....

Knowledge is NOT power. Knowledge is potential power. The “I know what to do, but I’m not ready to do it,” is holding you back. The “I can do it on my own, I just have to try harder,” is holding you back. That exact thinking is what has you in the same place. That exact thinking is what will KEEP you in the same place 3 months, 6 months, 12 months from today. Don’t believe me? Take a look at your life. How long have you been telling yourself those lies? It’s time to be real with yourself. You’re not happy in your own skin. You’re not happy being tired all the time. You’re not happy not being able to move the way you want. You’re not happy spending the majority of your waking moments thinking about food! This isn’t the life that you want, but you’ve convinced yourself it’s too hard to change it. You’ve convinced yourself that you must tackle other issues before you tackle this one. But guess what? You don’t have the energy to do anything because you’re not addressing the main issue. ✨Imagine waking up happy to start your day. ✨Imagine getting in the shower, catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and loving what you see. ✨Imagine getting dressed and enjoying the experience. ✨Imagine making summer plans to go to the beach and getting excited about wearing a bikini. What could you do if you simply had more energy? It’s not just about changing your body. It’s about changing the way you feel. It’s about being able to have more experiences, because life is meant to be enjoyed. I’m enrolling clients for July start date. If you’d like one of these spots, send me a DM that says “I WANT TO CHANGE.” Can’t wait to change your life. Jacqueline P.S. if this post resonated with you and you continue to do nothing, you’ll be in the same place 3 months from today. You’re one DM away from changing your life.

Knowledge is NOT power. Knowledge is potential power. The “I know what to do, but I’m not ready to do it,” is holding you back. The “I can do it on my own, I just have to try harder,” is holding you back. That exact thinking is what has you in the same place. That exact thinking is what will KEEP you in the same place 3 months, 6 months, 12 months from today. Don’t believe me? Take a look at your life. How long have you been telling yourself those lies? It’s time to be real with yourself. You’re not happy in your own skin. You’re not happy being tired all the time. You’re not happy not being able to move the way you want. You’re not happy spending the majority of your waking moments thinking about food! This isn’t the life that you want, but you’ve convinced yourself it’s too hard to change it.

I got into a career in fitness because I wanted to help & see more women & people of colour at the start line of running races. - Speaking of running, I did the London marathon in 2018. Everyone said after you run a marathon you’ll want to do another one but trust me when I say, NEVER again! - I’m an arsenal fan, and I can’t lie, the past decade has been really tough. I don’t even watch football anymore - I love potatoes. That’s elite level food right that. So versatile. Don’t @ me. - I used to be the Queen of brunch but that pre lockdown life feels like it was a lifetime go That’s about it!

Most of the time I feel motivated and rearing to go, but some days I look around and I start panicking about how much everyone else is doing and question why good things are happening to them? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to work harder? But I do work hard! So is what I’m doing not ‘good’ enough.. When you get in that head space it has a knock on effect and everything that’s a bit annoying that you just ‘handle’ most days, is now the source of all your anger . This is just a reminder that we all feel like that sometimes, you’re doing enough, things happen when they’re supposed to, keep going your contribution is BEYOND valued and I’m not gunna say make a list of everything you’re grateful for, personally, I find nourishing yourself in some way (take a bath, have some nice food, watch a film) and having a GOOD sleep, a GREAT help.

Hey! Looks like I have a few new followers here (over 25k since Friday ). Glad to make your acquaintance. I have to admit, being in the food world isn’t easy for a black girl like me. I’ve been food blogging on sweetpotatosoul.com since 2010, and I’ve watched so many white bloggers sprint ahead of me Since 2010 I have run a successful private chef company in NYC, grown a popular YouTube channel (557k followers), published a beautiful #vegansoulfood cookbook (also called Sweet Potato Soul), turned this blog into a 6 figure business, been featured in mainstream publications like @nytimes @essence @todayshow , AND had a baby And along the way I’ve heard so many of your stories sharing how my recipes or videos helped you become vegan. Or how my blog or business inspired you to start your own. Those stories of empowerment and health are what drive me to keep creating even when I feel discouraged. When I discovered this lifestyle called veganism 10 years ago, I couldn’t have imagined how it would transform and give meaning to my life Thank you for joining me for the ride! If you haven’t already purchased my cookbook, do it (link in my bio). It’s a great intro to my recipes and philosophy. Also, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel, Sweet Potato Soul, and watch my videos! Visit my blog sweetpotatosoul.com for even more recipes!

i wrote a v personal article for @healthmagazine (thanks to @ihartericka for thinking of me ) about how i made peace with my fat body at the cost of disappointing my (also fat) immigrant parents. it felt weird to post this earlier this week when the article first went live bc of the violent hindu attacks on muslims happening in india this week. so pls know, this post does not minimize or erase savarna violence happening right now . tldr: to find self love, i had to reject their toxic ideas of good health (aka thin idealism) . if you want to read more the link is in my bio ❤️ . even though i’m so public about my experiences i’m still nervous to talk shit on my parents. so pls handle this piece and me with care. i try to do a good job of balancing my love and respect for them, while also clearly describing what i survived as a harmful, abusive, toxic and, fatphobic. families are complicated, so is my relationship w mine . here is a quote from the article: “In the body-image workshops I run as a trauma therapist, I teach the concept of understanding our bodies as heirlooms. If we think about the purpose of an heirloom, it is a symbolic representation of resilience. We do not criticize an heirloom. We do not devalue it for its flaws and imperfections. We see heirlooms as tangible evidence of the existence of our ancestors. I want fat folks of color to see our bodies as important and necessary in the context of survival. I want us to remember to write ourselves into existence at the expense of diet culture and fatphobia.” . thank you for being witness to me writing myself into existence . art by @stephaniechinnart A post shared by Sonalee (she/they) LCSW MEd (@thefatsextherapist) on Feb 28, 2020 at 12:09pm PSTFeb 28, 2020 at 12:09pm PST

Many of us take all the pressures of life and place it onto our bodies because its the one thing we can control. At a point in my life, when i had nowhere to go and nobody to turn to with my issues- i self harmed. I placed my shame, my inability to cope, my performance, my perfectionism and put all of that on my body. So yes, although exercise can be therapeutic it became my hell. Because i was able to harm myself in a ‘socially acceptable’ way. So hating my body was the only way i could process my dissatisfaction and my unhappiness. Now that i know how to cope with self help techniques and lots of therapy - i dont hate my body. Because i have a healthier way of processing my negative emotions and trauma. If you find yourself constantly picking at your body and constantly pursuing physical change, its a warning sign. Your body is holding that manifested trauma. Release it. Write it down and burn it. Meditate. But theres no need to punish yourself further with dieting. Your body is fine and its doing its job. A post shared by @ _melanintalks on Jul 1, 2020 at 6:52am PDTJul 1, 2020 at 6:52am PDT

It’s a little more humid today, so making some cool soba noodles made a lot of sense to me. I tossed the soba with some leftover sautéed broccoli , quick pickled red cabbage, thawed edamame, some massaged kale and a lemon miso dressing. If you are not familiar with soba, it is the Japanese name for buckwheat. Often times it refers to thin noodles made with buckwheat flour (not all are gluten free as you can commonly find them mixed with wheat flour too, so make sure to read ingredients). They can be eaten hot or cold, and during the summer typically you’ll see some cold dishes served. I really like the taste of the noodles so I tossed this and the other ingredients with the sauce below. The lemon was very refreshing. . Lemon Miso Dressing 2 tsp tahini Juice of half a lemon 1 tsp maple syrup 1/2 tsp miso paste Splash of soy sauce 1 tbsp water 1/4 tsp garlic powder Pinch of ginger Zest of half a lemon . Whisk together in a bowl. Feel free to thin out more based on preference. Once combined add to noodles. Toss and serve. This sauce coated 2 servings of noodles so feel free to double your noodles as you see fit. . I split my noodles in half and saved some for tomorrow for lunch.

About 20lbs difference but the true progress isn’t visible, it’s the growth I’ve had throughout my journey - mentally & physically People think that getting “fit” happens in 30 days or with a 6 week challenge, but it doesn’t. It can be a great kickstart to your journey but it’s so important to realise that progress takes time and sustainable results won’t happen overnight I’m not super human, I’m just like you! I struggle at times - I’ve had days where I don’t want to go to the gym or do my steps, weeks where I have fallen off track and months where I’ve binged & felt like giving up all together HOWEVER… I never gave up & will not. Why? Because I DESERVE to feel good. And so do you! Quit doubting yourself & delaying because of how long it will take or how hard it will be. YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND ON IF YOU PUT IN THE WORK! Many people have done it before, many people will continue to do it, but the question is… WILL YOU DO IT?⚡️ People think that when they hit their ‘goal weight’ they will be happy or feel more confident. Bit the truth is, my confidence and happiness never comes from the number on a scale. It comes from nourishing & moving my body. When you FEEL good from the inside our, it radiates. Find the balance of taking care of yourself, achieving your goals & living a lifestyle that you enjoy Healthy & happy looks different on every one ✨ Find YOUR healthy & be the best version of YOU @FitWithAnjuli #AnjuliFitSquad #fitness #fitnessjourney #fatlossjourney #transformation #healthy #fitspo #onlinecoach #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #auckland #newzealand #gymglobal #igtrainandtransform A post shared by YouTube Anjuli Mack AUCKLAND (@anjuli_fitforlife) on Jun 23, 2020 at 7:06pm PDTJun 23, 2020 at 7:06pm PDT
About 20lbs difference but the true progress isn’t visible, it’s the growth I’ve had throughout my journey - mentally & physically People think that getting “fit” happens in 30 days or with a 6 week challenge, but it doesn’t.

Story time! ⠀⠀ Let me tell you how I had a minor mental heart attack the other day that I ended up grateful for later. ⠀⠀ We just got out the pool and I was wearing a string bikini—one I honestly wouldn’t have worn in public—out in our back yard. ⠀⠀ (Self love is a continuous journey, I’m getting there). && my husbands step brother showed up. ⠀⠀ I felt my self confidence drop. ⠀⠀ Holy sh*t he saw my belly!! ⠀⠀ What was he thinking of me?? ⠀⠀ I internally freaked out. I couldn’t even make eye contact with him when he was talking to me. ⠀⠀ I felt vulnerable. Scared. Ashamed. ⠀⠀ I had to dig deep. And I mean DEEP inside myself to have the courage to make eye contact. ⠀⠀ I did and we kept talking—that feeling soon subsided. ⠀⠀ Fast forward to today, I was working out in a sports bra and shorts. ⠀⠀ He saw me again today. ⠀⠀ This time I wasn’t scared or nervous. ⠀⠀ I felt safe within myself. I was happy. He follows me on social media so I know he knows how I look but the courage it took me to show up in my world is something I work on continuously. ⠀⠀ I’ve relearned and learned that through our discomfort we become liberated. ⠀⠀ That once we choose to be brave and show up for ourselves each time after that becomes easier. But know that first time is scared and nerve wrecking—I’ve felt it. But there is a sense of peace that comes after. You are not alone. ⠀⠀ Stepping into your truth whether it’s physical or mental isn’t easy but why spend your life not being you—the one you truly are. Not the one that shows up for people to be “liked” . . I kicked out the fear and stepped into love. . . ⠀⠀ #marriedmomandmantras #twinmom #momofthree #sahm #mompreneur #lifecoach #mombod #momblog #strongmom #mixedmomma #selfgrowth #selfdevelopment #mindshift #selfempowerment #curlyhair #honestmom #momlifeisthebestlife #plantbased #familyfirst #honestmomconfessions #allbodiesarebeautiful #acceptance #growthmindset #normalizenormalbodies #bodykindness #bodyimage #postpartumfitnessjourney #mombod #ipreview A post shared by Jasmin Steiner (@marriedmomandmantras) on Jun 29, 2020 at 11:47am PDTJun 29, 2020 at 11:47am PDT

Look after number one, and then your first, and then one at a time ⠀ ⠀ What’s that, empty cup? I can’t hear your dehydrated ass! Take care of yourself⠀ ⠀ That’s the first part. And trust me, I have literally run on fumes before, and you can do it but that shit has NO legs! We‘re here for the long haul! ⠀ ⠀ Then support team you Those already invested in you. Your first clients. Your first followers. Pay attention to them. They are your biggest cheerleaders SERVE THEM and you WILL grow. ⠀ ⠀ Simple concept. Missed by many *whispers - team long game*⠀ ⠀ Then put one foot in front of the other. Shit takes time! A slow build allows you to course-correct as you go. ⠀ ⠀ I’m on team long game. Oh and, taking it slow does not mean, little action. Far from it, your to-do list is NOT taking action - “I got so much done!” Did you really though, Barbara? ⠀ ⠀ We call them ‘leaps’ in Be The Change - if you haven’t read ‘The Big Leap’ by Gay Hendricks, please do so, immediately. Little moves, with big impact, repeated = gold! (may cause sweating) ⠀ ⠀ You won’t nail mindset, movement, programming, women’s health and/or business in a day. And if you want to, this is not the mentorship for you. Once again, in case, it was missed - TEAM LONG GAME. ⠀ ⠀ Doors are open for enrolment, I’d love to see you on the other side.

I see this one performed ineffectively a lot, that doesn't mean it's a bad exercise, it just means we need to clean it up a little. Still unsure of how to execute it?

This pandemic bought out the love of exercising outdoors for me. I never used to workout outside, that wasn’t my jam. But being stuck inside so much that when you did have the opportunity to go out, the only thing to do outside was go for a walk/run, hiking, or sitting on the grass. It’s been dope being able to go on hikes in places I never even knew existed right in the Bronx and Manhattan. This summer, I plan to hike even more, kettle bell workouts in the park, and yoga on the grass. Comment below if you recommend a trail close to NY!
