YOU ARE SEEN 🧡 Working on your strength in a world that does its best to convince you to be small and forever shrinking can feel lonely.

But I promise you, you’re not alone.

Cheering you on! Build that muscle. Lift those weights. Take up space.

And remember, you are not intimating; they are intimidated. Big difference.

YOU 👏 HAVE 👏 OPTIONS 👏 Strength training

YOU 👏 HAVE 👏 OPTIONS 👏

Strength training benefits are well demonstrated. And at the same time, you might be reluctant to lift weights because you think:

👉 Barbells are the only option

Barbells are but one tool.

I hear a lot of “I can’t lift because I don’t have barbells.”

Or “I can’t barbell back squat so lifting is off the table.”

Lovingly, no.

There are so many ways to squat with load that isn’t a barbell back squat:

💪Goblet squat
💪 Front rack dumbbell / kettlebell squat
💪Landmine squat
💪 Split squat
💪 Zercher squat

Just to name a few.

Barbell back squats might not be a great fit for you now (or ever!) and that’s fine. But you have options. Always.

Think of what you CAN do instead of what you can’t.

If you want a strength program that gives you lots of options, check out Made Strong.

6 SIGNS OF LOW ENERGY AVAILABILITY ⚡️ (Bookma

LOWER THE BAR (bookmark this post) New goal setti

LOWER THE BAR (bookmark this post)

New goal setting approach for 2022:

Lower the bar

"Uh what? I thought the new year is all about the biggest, boldest, baddest declaration and shooting for the damn moon?!"

Sure that’s fine but when it comes to execution you may need a different approach.

Steady progress toward smaller goals still counts. Allow the systems and structures that support your success to evolve at a pace you can handle.

Maybe you want to start walking daily. Great!

10,000 steps is a popular goal / standard (though arbitrary). But what if you currently don't have a daily walking habit?

Going from 0 to 10,000 steps is a huge change.

Are you ready to jump from no walking to 1 hour 40 minutes a day?

You're probably used to shooting for maximums.

"Walk 10,000 steps a day."

"Work out 7 days a week."

"No treats / no sugar for a month."

When you think in terms like these, the minute something slips and you don't hit it, you feel guilty and like a bad person.

It's not JUST the walking. You need systems and structures.

It's the time you'll need to carve out. It's your schedule. How you might need to shift things around. It's the environment around you and what support you need to do the thing.

TIP #1: CREATE A SMALL / MEDIUM / LARGE BREAKDOWN FOR YOUR GOALS

For me, a small walk is 15 min.
A medium walk is 30 min.
A large (long?!) walk is 45 min.
Benefit: Having 3 options pulls you OUT of a binary (all or nothing).

It gives you a choice.

TIP #2: DO IT EARLY

This may not be possible every single day, but the earlier you can get it done, the more likely it is that you WILL get it done.

When I work with clients, I have them address priorities as early in the day as possible.

TIP #3: MAKE IT CONCRETE

Think in terms of time. Steps, in a roundabout way, are connected to distance.

But chances are, most of what you do is connected to your schedule...which you think about in terms of time.

If you think this will be helpful, LMK in the comments!

(And if it’s not, no need to complain. Not every approach is for every person so take what might be helpful and leave the rest.)
