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.
Hey you,
The name's Annie & you're reading my thoughts. Let's get acquainted.

For this post I want you to think about gymnasts. They don’t typically “lift weights” but they are EXTREMELY muscular and strong AF. How? Because they use the three secrets/training techniques I am sharing with you today.
Resistance training is great and my personal favorite form of training to build muscle, but it CAN happen without weights. It will take time, and body control, but it is indeed possible.

#FreeWorkoutFriday NO. 11
Who says you need a machine or to love running in order to do cardio?
Today I bring you seven exercises that can be done in your home or anywhere in the world for that matter.
You have some options here. To avoid counting reps, I always opt for workouts based on a timer. Just stop and go based on the buzzer. #makecardiolesshorrible

We all know I am a fan of big legs and being a total quadzilla. #thickthighssavelives #whatthighgap. But I want you to know that you CAN build and shape a juicy booty without increasing leg development.
Let’s start off by debunking the myth that squats are what give you a big butt. FALSE. Some people feel squats in their glutes and hammies, but most feel them in their quads. I have watched and interacted with plenty of women who have done squats for years and seen 0% booty growth.

This workout is a quick, full body workout consisting of the Turkish getup and dumbbell hang power cleans.
It can be done as a pre-workout warm up, or a post workout conditioning circuit.
Perform 4-6 sets of the following:
3 Turkish sit-ups on each side >> just the roll up on to your elbow. Feet stay in contact with the ground, limbs at 45 degrees from your body…

Pumpkin spice lattes, the cold dark weather leading to a complete lack of motivation, winter time comfort foods, holiday parties, baked goods at the office, and the stress of 2017 coming to an end…
THE. STRUGGLE. IS. REAL. Girl I feel you.
Whether you have reached your goals during 2017 or not, these tips are useful for getting fit + NOT completely sabotaging yourself through the holidays.

#FreeWorkoutFriday NO. 8
Today I bring you some do’s and do NOT’s of exercise.
I go through the RDL, single leg RDL, push-ups, planks, presses and more.
The common denominator? Keeping a neutral spine, engaged core and tight lats.
The poor performances of each exercise lack engaged lats, and I sink into lumbar extension (arching in the low back), or…

Listen, cellulite. For the most part, women hate it. Some women might accept it. I accept mine, BUT that doesn’t mean we don’t have questions about it, where it comes from, what makes it go away and so on.
Does everyone have cellulite? NO. But if you do, you probably aren’t a fan and you need to read this.
Let’s start off by debunking some myths I have heard in my years in the fitness industry.

In one way or another, most women I work with or have witnessed on social media talk about being “toned”.
More specifically, they want to be TONED BUT NOT BULKY.
