I'm an adventurous introvert from Vancouver, Washington who lives on sleep + "me time." I'm a lover of lifting weights, dinosaurs, real talk and traveling with my husband. I am here to help you move better, lift more, bust the myths of the fitness industry, and inspire you to love the process.
Did you know you have THREE HEADs to your triceps (cue the name)? The long head is the only head that crosses the shoulder joint while the other two attach to the humerus (upper arm bone). Often referred to as the short head. When you can see the developed musculature, the triceps make a “horseshoe” […]
From 2013 to 2021, finding and linking high quality, simple exercise demo videos in my programs was a TASK. Having them be a female vs male? Even more impossible. If we’re being honest, Marcus Filly’s exercise library has completely carried the fitness industry on it’s back for over a decade. This was a frustration I […]
If you know anything about me, know that I am quite possibly the biggest fan of reflection. I love a process, whether my own or someone else’s. So no matter where you came to find me from, we’re pulling back the curtain of this journey starting nearly a decade ago. Here’s the quick and dirty […]
There is no one size fits all for lifting cues. Some thing that will work for you might not work for me. But the goal is always better neuromuscular control, more muscle fiber recruitment, and ideally better movement patterns. That’s what today’s episode is all about. After coaching for a decade in person and online, […]
If you want “toned” shoulders or “strong deltoids,” then doing some sort of single arm press is something that will likely benefit your training. You have three areas that make up the deltoid muscle. All lay superficially on the shoulder (closest muscle to the skin). These include your anterior (front), medial (middle or lateral) and […]
It’s no secret that video is the future and now the present of content creation. Nearly every app and platform – search or social based has embraced and even pushed video content. Podcasts, YouTube (obviously), Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, TikTok, everyone. So, being able to speak confidently on camera will most likely be needed. While not […]
Today’s episode comes from what feels like the expectation even with one on one to have some kind of community aspect (or group program) to your offer. I hope to keep this episode short and sweet, and really just gives you some things to think about in order to determine if you do or don’t […]
Writing an exercise program can be an overwhelming task. And I am convinced that part of this overwhelm is the self-imposed expectation for new fitness coaches to do THE MOST. Take a breath. Do less. Most coaches are out here thinking they need to write a brand new program from scratch for every client on […]
To batch content simply means process of planning and creating content ahead of the time in which it will be used. You can batch Instagram posts, story videos or slides, youtube videos, podcast episodes, email marketing drips, and the list goes on. Batching is largely how I personally, and many entrepreneurs, keep their businesses running […]
Most people in fitness around the globe recognize that push ups from the toes are harder. But WHY? In short, two things – the upper body is less “elevated” from the toes than from the knees, and more of the body weight is being moved from the toes than the knees (the load is heavier). […]
