This phrase is one I’ve eliminated from my vocabulary

And other phrases like “I don’t have time” and “I didn’t get a chance to” may feel good in the moment, but they take our power away

Olive oil is a healthy fat…

But 1 TABLESPOON of olive oil is 120 calories 🫢

One of my clients was eating fairly healthy, but simply pouring olive oil into her cookware each day.

She was probably adding HUNDREDS of calories each day that weren’t helping her efforts to lose weight.

Now, she measures everything out and has dropped 40+ pounds in the process.

I personally use spray oils to save myself calories while cooking.

You’re not lazy or broken.

For many women 40+, weight gain has less to do with effort and more to do with using strategies that no longer match your physiology.

Small adjustments (especially around nutrition, strength and consistency) can change everything.

💥My top 5 exercises (in no particular order) if you’re over 40

My criteria…

1. Needs to be joint-friendly
2. Requires minimal equipment (can do at home)
3. Works the entire body

1️⃣ 𝗚𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁

It’s a multi-joint exercise, as in you work across more than one joint (the ankles, knees and hips). For lower-body exercises, you’re definitely going to want to include some sort of squat variation.

2️⃣ 𝗣𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗨𝗽

The push up is a full body exercise that also integrates your core. Make sure to work through a full range of motion. Choose a progression that works for you - wall push ups, elevated push ups, regular push ups or feet-elevated push ups

3️⃣ 𝗦𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁

The split squat is the top single-leg exercise variation to master. Perform a static movement like this before progressing to dynamic movements like lunge variations. If you’re noticing pain or discomfort in your knees, perform the split squat with a limited range of motion.

4️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘄

Rowing movements help strengthen your posterior chain muscles of the upper body, which is helpful if you sit hunched over in a desk all day. The renegade row incorporates your core, as well.

5️⃣ 𝗗𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗥𝗗𝗟

Grab a pair of dumbbells and perform this hinge movement. Because most of us are imbalanced in terms of our strength and function from our front to back side, it’s important we work our glutes and hamstrings.

💥 3 common hip thrust mistakes

As a fitness coach for the last 13+ years, I’ve seen all sorts of mistakes with the hip thrust.

Here are 3 of the biggest mistakes I see, in no particular order…

❌ Over-extending your back

Many people will keep their heads back and look up toward the ceiling.

When you execute the movement like this you’ll naturally extend through your lumbar spine instead of your glutes (not good).

Instead, tuck your chin and keep your ribs down to extend through the hips.

❌ Setting up with your shoulder blades below the bench

When you set up with your shoulder blades off the bench you have much less stability.

Plus, it’s going to put a lot of pressure on your neck.

Instead, move your shoulder blades over the bench to create more stability and take pressure off your neck.

❌ Not fully extending your hips at the top

The hip thrust movement won’t “work” if you bring your hips up part of the way.

To fully engage your glutes, extend your hips all the way up until you feel a “squeeze” in your butt cheeks.

If you’re not feeling it in your glutes, you’re not doing it right.

👉 Which of these mistakes have you caught yourself making?
