3 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞.

Mamas, I know how it feels.. I know how it goes:

We do not sleep, we are always on the go, & busy AF. We take care of a household, cook, clean, & so much more.. & now we want to be fit & stay healthy?

& many times staying fit & healthy goes on the back burner, and it’s totally forgotten about, but mama Here are the reasons why you need to start strength training more:

1. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲: you need energy to start & continue a workout, so how the heck are you going to feel more energized once you’re done? I feel you mama, but the truth is that when you start strength training, sweating, & moving your body 9/10 times you will feel more energized to tackle your day with your kiddo!

2. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐱𝐲𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐧: the FEEL good hormone oxytocin rises up when you get your blood flowing, muscles pumping, & get your sweat on!! The more you do it, the more you will feel so dang good you did.

3. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Once you start seeing the muscles you’re creating, you will start feeling more confident, more happy, more S E X Y in your body. Building muscle is just pure sexiness, & at the end of the day, you do not have to be fit already to just start, so start now!

As you started reading this post you probably thought I was going to say “to lose weight & burn fat” & yeah those are the side effects but the results you get from just strength training are SO much more than the weight drop on the scale, or the fat you’ll be burning.

As Strong Mamas we want more energy, more confidence, more motivation, more consistency & f**k ya it feels good to lose weight, & get lean, & burn fat in the process.

If you do not know where to start, no worries. I got you!!
You do not need a fancy gym, or fancy equipment.

If you have been following me for a while YOU KNOW how much I talk about embracing our body, focusing on loving ourselves, & owning the women we are becoming NOW.

As a new mama I talk & feel all of these things, SO much more deeply. In our world we live in a constant pressure of “having our best body” & for mamas there is so much pressure to bounce back, or get their “pre-baby weight”.

But 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰?

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, I wanted to share a few of my favorite tips on postpartum exercise & giving your body all of the love it needs in this new, incredible, soul shaking chapter as a mama! Just like you, I know that this journey is not easy. Our bodies goes through SO many changes in such a short amount of period- from understanding it, to knowing what exercises are safe, to making the time to exercises, to having the ENERGY to exercise.

I want you to remember that…
You are NOT alone & you are so much stronger, more fearless, more capable, more beautiful, & MORE BADASS than you will ever know!

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞.

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Who do you see? Do you embrace your body & feel confident or do you quickly glance over & not look back?

When you see a picture you are tagged in, do you first see what you want to fix, or do you love what you see?

I am with you, I understand. I have been right where you are right now. I struggled most of my life to find my worth & feel enough in my body. I struggled most of my life to find peace with myself & with my body. These struggles kept me from enjoying nights out with friends, dinner dates, having ice cream at night, walking along side the beach, buying clothes...

What I know to be true is that finding that confidence, feeling at peace with your body as it is (post baby specially), & breaking free from diets is so possible for you. (& you can make it happen).

I have went from hating the woman I saw in the mirror to feeling confident & worthy AF in all stages of my life, ( in mamahood).

I am talking about going beyond a workout plan, a meal plan, and some simple recipes.

I am talking about mindset/confidence work (dig deep), heart pumping strength training workouts, & a balanced approach to nutrition.

The extras are:
The badass community of women together on the same journey
& the coaching from me (I’m talking about next level results)

Be your own goals is that program, a 90 day transformation program that is going to make your fitness goals from a wish to reality.
✨ The Body You Desire
✨ An unshakeable mindset in the woman you are now & who you are becoming.
✨ A sustainable approach to food. (You read right).

See what you can make happen this year for you...
Imagine not hating yourself for having your favorite ice cream treat at night (my jam).
Imagine feeling CONFIDENT AF in front of the mirror.
Imagine not having to cover up anymore & love your curves.
Imagine not having to do a yo yo diet, or a quick fix program & still see the results you desire.

Embody who you are & who you are becoming. Be your own goals starts January 20th. 𝐏𝐌 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐮𝐩!

Xx
