Spending precious time with family and friends.

Merry Christmas and Warm Holiday Wishes

Hello My Fitness Friends, Merry Christmas and happy holidays! As the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for reading my emails, following along on social media, and being part of this community. Some of you I work with now, some of you I’ve worked with in t...

This busy time of the year — just a few days before Christmas — it’s easy to forget about your goals.
That’s why I like short, focused workouts that are intense and effective, not long.

If fat loss is your goal, lower body work is one of the most efficient choices. Bigger muscles = higher calorie burn.

Here’s the quick lower body workout I did:

Bulgarian split squat (rear foot elevated)
You can use a bench and dumbbells, or a barbell if you’re comfortable.
Great for balance, quads, glutes, hamstrings, range of motion, and correcting side-to-side imbalances.
10 reps per leg, 4 sets.

Romanian deadlift
Still the king of lower body exercises.
Works the entire posterior chain — glutes, hamstrings, back, and core — and builds strong, resilient bodies that are less prone to injury.
Barbell or dumbbells both work.

Reverse hyperextensions
I used a hyperextension bench from the opposite side with leg weights, but bodyweight works too.
Excellent for glutes and lower back.
15 reps, 4 sets.

That’s it. Short. Focused. Done.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season — enjoy it, and remember that even small efforts still count.

Why do most of my clients stay with me for years?

Not weeks.
Not a quick “get fit” phase.
But two, three, four years and more.

My client retention is around 90% because what I do is not a quick fix.

People stay because:
• They feel supported, not judged
• They see progress that actually lasts
• Their training evolves as their body and life change
• They stay strong without getting injured or burned out

What results can you expect over time?

First few months:
You feel stronger.
Your clothes fit better.
Your energy improves.

6–12 months:
You build real muscle.
Your metabolism improves.
Your posture and joint health change.

2–4+ years:
You stop starting over.
You age differently.
You stay strong, capable, and confident.

That’s the difference between exercising and being coached.

Quick reminder:
My Holiday Sale ends December 31st.

If you’re still looking for a meaningful gift (for yourself or someone you care about), this is a great time to start.

Available options:
• 5-session one-on-one personal training
• 5-session semi-private training (2 people)
• 1 month of online coaching

Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate. Wishing you a bright and healthy holiday 💗

You don’t need to start over in the New Year if you do this

12/09/2025

Two random meals from this week — restaurant lunch and a little fruit bowl I made at home when I wanted something sweet.

This time of year is busy. Hanukkah, Christmas, office parties, family dinners… everything is happening at once.
And honestly, this is exactly when most people give up on the “small choices” because they think December doesn’t count.

But these tiny choices are what keep you feeling good through the holidays.
Not perfect. Just steady.

A simple protein and veggie plate when you’re out.
A fruit bowl when you want something sweet at home.
Nothing dramatic, nothing restrictive — just choosing the option that supports your energy instead of draining it.

This is the whole point of sustainable health: keep the basics in place even during the messy, social, busy months.

And then go enjoy the celebrations without guilt.

If you’re trying to stay on track this month, focus on the small things you can control between the events. That’s where the results come from.

Let me know if you want ideas for quick meals during December — I’m happy to share what works.

Quick High Protein Dinner

Last night’s dinner took me about 10 minutes.

I cooked two Beyond Sausages (plantbased) in the pan (9 minutes), and while they were cooking, I threw together a simple salad with spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, green onion, and avocado.

Each sausage has 17 g of protein, so that’s 34 g without much effort. I don’t eat sausages often, but once in a while it’s a nice change, and this was actually really satisfying.

Just sharing in case you need a quick, high-protein dinner idea on a busy night.
