Really mad about overheating in a tank top 😂☀️🎉⁣

Calorie Friendly Bacon Bison Cheeseburger?!?🍔⁣ ⁣ You read that right!👍⁣ ⁣ If you think you can only eat chicken, rice and broccoli when trying to be healthy, control your weight or lose weight — YOU’RE WRONG 😳⁣ ⁣ Do you have to be creative, put in a little effort and plan ahead? Heck yeah.⁣ ⁣ But your efforts will be rewarded with deliciousness 🤤⁣ ⁣ Swipe for ingredients/ calorie info! (Not tracked: red onions baked in oven & relish)⁣🥒 ⁣ #hellostrength #healthyish #flexibledieting #8020lifestyle #balancedlifestyle #iidfym #caloriefriendlymeals #healthyburger #bisonburger #mealideas #burger #homemadeburger #cookathome #eatgoodfood #yum #nom

🏋🏻‍♀️Max Effort Vs Back Off Sets⁣🏋🏻‍♀️ ⁣ LEFT: My top set of five reps at 253 lbs.⁣ RIGHT: My back of reps at 214.5 lbs. ⁣ ⁣ I often get asked about form and it we need to be 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 100% of the time⁣🤷🏻‍♀️ ⁣ If you're a new lifter, the answer is YES. You're building habits and we want to nail down movement patterns. ⁣🔨 ⁣ If you're an experienced lifter, the answer is sometimes you can let yourself get away with a little form deviation -- but the acceptable deviation is smaller than you think. 🔬⁣ ⁣ The different between my form in the left and right videos is very subtle. My upper back rounds a 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 more in the video on the left and the bar gets a 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 bit away from my shins -- not a crazy difference.⁣ ⁣ If I was going for a one rep max I might be okay with a 𝘵𝘢𝘥 bit more upper back rounding, but all in all you want to stay close to the realm of ideal form⁣🏆 ⁣ Best way to assess this? Get over the fear of filming yourself at the gym⁣😂 ⁣ #hellostrength #workoutmotivation #workoutinspiration #fitlifestyle #strongwomen #strengthtraining #strengthtrainingwomen #exercisemotivation #workoutroutine #personaltrainer #exercisecoach #onlinepersonaltraining #lift #womenwholift #deadlift #deadlift #formtip

What my meals look like!⁣🥘 ⁣ Meal structure -- you'll notice a theme if you scroll through this montage of my meals: 1) Protein 2) Vegetable 3) Carb. #onrepeat⁣ ⁣ I'll occasionally throw in a fat source (like goat cheese) in there, but I usually save up my fat grams for ice cream or a cookie at the end of the day (or peanut butter with an apple). You feel me? 😉 ⁣ What makes this work is⁣: ⭐️I legitimately enjoy eating these meals⁣ ⭐️These meals are easy to grocery shop for and cook⁣ ⭐️These meals keep me full⁣ ⭐️These meals allow some wiggle room for other fun snacks⁣ ⁣ What is your to-go meal structure?⁣ ⁣ #hellostrength #fdoe #mealplan #mealstructure #meals #healthymeals #healthyish #healthyeating #healthylifestyle #balancedlifestyle #8020rule #flexibledieting #iifym #proteinmeals #carbsarelife #healthyproteinmeals #eatgoodfood #eatingwell #yum #nutritioncoach⁣

💪UPPER BODY WORKOUT⁣💪 ⁣ Working on that 11 pull up goal -- Hit sets of 6,5,5,4 and 3 on my paused pull ups⁣😅😤 ⁣ Which reminds me, especially for an exercise like pull ups, it's still worth it to do a set -- even if you can only do 1 or 2 of them! Band pull ups are great, but once you get that first unassisted pull ups, do one every single time you're in the gym⁣🏋🏻‍♀️ ⁣ Here's my workout from today:⁣ 1) Pause Pull Ups 5xMax⁣ 2) Push Ups 3x12⁣ 3) Scap Pulls 3x12⁣ 4) Landmine Press 3x8⁣ 5) DB Row 3x10⁣ 6) Seated Pull 3x12⁣ 7) DB Bent Over Fly 3x12⁣ 8) Seated Arnold 3x11⁣ 9) Tricep Extension 3x10⁣ ⁣ What are your upper body strength goals right now?⁣ ⁣ #hellostrength #upperbodyworkout #backworkout #pullup #pullups #pullupworkout #strengthtraining #strengthtrainingwomen #strongwomen #strengthworkout #workoutmotivation #workoutroutine #workoutplan #personaltrainer #onlinepersonaltrainer #calgaryfitness #yycfit #liftheavy #womenwholift

Yeah, yeah another lean girl talking about how you need to love yourself before changing your body 🙄⁣ ⁣ 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞!!🤯⁣ ⁣ When you accept your body where it is, value yourself more for who you are on the inside as a person, and “love yourself” — you will treat your body well.✅⁣ ⁣ When you hate yourself, despise the mirror and only want to make changes out of self-loathing — you wont want to make lasting positive changes/ treat your body well.❌⁣ ⁣ It may sound cheesy or obvious or you’d rather gloss right over this part of transformation — but I promise it will be the difference in sustainable, healthy change and dangerously restrictive, short-lived results.⁣🏆 ⁣ So if you’re embarking on any fitness goals this year, may as much attention to what’s going on in your brain as you do your body 🙌⁣ ⁣ #hellostrength #workoutmotivation #strengthtraining #womensfitness #flexibledieting #8020lifestyle #fitnessmotivation #calgaryfitness #yycfit #workoutplan #healthylifestyle #balancedlifestyle #lift #liftheavy #workout #gymmotivation #personaltrainer #healthcoach #onlinepersonaltrainer #loveyourself #positivechange

Supported or 𝐔𝐍supported Bulgarian Split Squats?⁣⁣🤷🏻‍♀️ ⁣⁣ In this video, I'm holding onto a bar for stability with one hand and a dumbbell in the other. You might have seen people doing Bulgarian Split Squats (BSS) without holding onto anything -- so which is 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My favorite answer: It depends!⁣⁣🎉 ⁣⁣ 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐒𝐒 (holding onto something) - I tend to think these are slightly "𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳" when training for strength and muscle growth because when your body doesn't have to worry about stability, you can likely use more weight, exert more force (push your heel harder into the ground) and really engage the muscle.⁣⁣💪 ⁣⁣ 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐒𝐒 (usually holding nothing or one or two dumbbells) - These would be "𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳" if achieving better balance is a priority. You also might not be able to use as much weight, but you will likely get better at body awareness.⁣🙌 ⁣ If you'd like to destroy your legs -- try the drop set I do in the video:⁣ --Pick two dumbbells (one heavier and one lighter)⁣ --Do 10 reps with the heavier dumbbell.⁣ --Straight into 10 reps with the lighter dumbbell.⁣ --Straight into 10 reps with just bodyweight.⁣ --Cry a little inside⁣😅😅😅 ⁣ Tag me if you try this and let me know which type of Bulgarian Split Squats you prefer!⁣ ⁣ #hellostrength #bulgariansplitsquat #bulgariansplitsquats #strengthtraining #strengthtrainingwomen #personaltrainer #onlinepersonaltrainer #calgaryfitness #yycfit #workout #workoutprogram #exerciseroutine #gymworkout #fitness #fitnesstrainer

What is my definition of flexible dieting?⁣ ⁣ First off, flexible dieting is not:⁣ ❌ An excuse to eat junk food.⁣ ❌ A "diet" that you hop on and off.⁣ ❌ The same for everyone.⁣ ⁣ However, it is:⁣ ✅ A diet/manner of eating that doesn't label foods as good or bad.⁣ ✅ Prioritizes whole, unprocessed foods.⁣ ✅ Allows for "soul foods" to make up approximately 20% of your diet.⁣ ⁣ What first drew me to a flexible dieting / the 8020 mindset is that is just isn't realistic to expect someone to never have pizza, ice cream or pasta ever again. ⁣🍕🍝🍦 ⁣ When culture and social experiences are all so closely tied with coming together for a meal -- there needs to be a way that health can exist, without swearing off all "unhealthy" foods. ⁣🤨 ⁣ Enter: flexible dieting 🏆 What do you think about this? Would you describe your diet as flexible and not overly restrictive?? ⁣ #hellostrength⁣ #flexibledieting #8020lifestyle #healthylifestyle #iifym #nutrition #macocoach #balance #balancedlifestyle #fitnessjourney #food #icecream #icecreamfitsmymacros #yum #dessert #flexibleseating
