Why it's not my job as a health and fitness professional to determine what is or isn't "healthy" for someone else. A thread. (1/9)

If a woman doesn’t have children, 99% of the time, it’s one of these scenarios: 1. She’s wants them and is unable to have them. 2. She’s actively trying to have them and it hasn’t happened yet. 3. She doesn’t want to have them. And 100% of the time, it’s none of your business

Pastor Charles delivers another inspiring sermon this week in which he declares his position on marriage; coupled with his related declaration on loving your neighbor as yourself.  This effectively and respectfully mediates between the often extreme views on these issues.

At the gym today a woman I don’t know stopped me and said: “I don’t want to interrupt your workout, but I just have to tell you that your back looks freaking awesome when you’re lifting.” I mean, YES PLEASE. 💪🏻 Let’s normalize hyping each other up at the gym. 👏🏻 👏🏻

When it comes to protein��� Here’s what really matters: ✅ Total grams per day ✅ High-quality sources ✅ Leucine content ✅ Consistency over time Here’s what doesn’t really matter: 🚫 Exact timing 🚫 Plant vs. animal 🚫 Being perfect every day

Concert essentials in my 20’s: ✅ sexy outfit ✅ high heels ✅ friends who like to dance Concert essentials in my 40’s: ✅ comfy outfit ✅ wide toe box shoes ✅ earplugs ✅ electrolytes & ibuprofen ✅ friends who go to bed early

Independent testing confirms: Recycled rubber stays in place for decades, retaining its structural integrity so parks remain open year-round.  As a result, communities avoid costly maintenance and provide consistent, safe play.

20+ years of strength training under my belt. Still doing Goblet Squats. Still doing Inverted Rows. Still doing Push-ups. The. Basics. Still. Work.

If quick fixes were going to work, they would have worked already. The real secret? ✅ lift weights 2-4x/week ✅ walk often ✅ eat enough protein + veg ✅ get restful sleep ✅ drink lots of water ✅ spend time with loved ones ✅ have meaning + purpose …week in and week out

Years ago I was talking to my physical therapist. I pointed to some fat on my lower back and said: “I want to get rid of this.” Him: “You want to get rid of tissue protecting your kidneys?” And damn if that didn’t change how I viewed by body in an instant. 🤯

It’s wild to me when someone’s argument for medication being “bad” is that… “You have to take it forever.” I mean… 🤔 You also have to: ✅ exercise ✅ sleep ✅ brush your teeth ✅ eat protein …forever to keep seeing the benefits.

Some woman on Instagram just told me I have “caterpillar eyebrows” and as an 80’s baby who once plucked my eyebrows nearly all the way off… I cannot thank you enough for the compliment, ma’am! 🙏🏻💅🏻 IYKYK.

I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2021. Since then I’ve done 30 neurofeedback sessions, done therapy with an ADHD specialist, tweaked my nutrition, and made huge lifestyle and behavior changes. AND — I still need help managing it. So earlier this year I started taking meds, and

~1.2 million C-sections are performed each year in the U.S. Yet most women get little to no instruction on post-surgery care or return to exercise. This doesn’t happen with ACL or rotator cuff surgery (even though they’re significantly less common). 🗣️ Women deserve better 🗣️

I had 20 minutes to work out today, so I did: ✅ 10 min sled dragging ✅ 10 min squats + inverted rows This is your reminder that it ALL counts. The 5 min walk. The 10 bodyweight squats. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator. It all matters. It all adds up.

It is SO annoying how much better I sleep when I don’t eat ice cream and watch Netflix before bed. 🙄🙄🙄

I fucking love being jacked. 💪🏻 That’s all. That’s the post.

So many women are afraid of getting bulky… …meanwhile I’m over here overhead pressing the 50 lb DBs and doing shrugs with 80 lb DBs. 😆🤷🏼‍♀️ Gimme allllll the upper traps and delts. 💪🏻

Years ago my aunt was at the gym doing cable flyes with 2.5 lbs. A dude approached her chuckling and telling her she should use more weight. Her: "I would if I hadn't recently had heart surgery." Reason 5,276 not to give unsolicited advice: you never know someone's situation.
