Want to master your kettlebell swings? First you need to master the 'hip hinge' movement pattern ☝️(aka deadlifts/goodmornings/hip thrusts/cleans). A couple tips on achieving proper form: In the starting position... . . .🔹️Keep your back flat/spine neutral (feel for the tension/stretch in your hamstrings). . . 🔹️Hips in line with your shoulders. . . 🔹️ Think "bum back", rather than "knees bent". . . As you execute the move... . . 🔹️Drive bodyweight through your heels. . . 🔹️Think about 'pushing' your hips forward instead of 'pulling' the weight off the ground. . . 🔹️Keep your shoulders pulled back and down/away from your ears. . . 🔹️Squeeze your glutes (bum) at the top. . . 🚫 No rounding your back....ever. Once you have the hang of this make it harder by adding more resistance or including more explosive power.

Snacking on my new fav ☝️☝️Dare I say this combo is even better than avocado and eggs? Heres a quick, simple snack to fill you up and satisfy those pesky cravings. Organic sourdough bread + Goat cheese + Cucumber + Fresh basil leaves + Everything but the bagel seasoning

Putting all those weekend carbs to good use 🏋️‍♀️ 3 sets . 🔸️Hip Thrust x12 🔸️Banded Chin Up xmax 🔸️Pendulum Swing x15 (pssst - aim to master your kettlebell swing before you try this). . . . Recently I've been trying out a new training style in my workouts, to help keep me motivated and excited to exercise. Since January I've felt like I've needed to drag myself into the gym (which I didn't love) so I started opting for more at-home and outdoor workouts. I'm so glad I took this time "off" because, although I didn't make much progress in my chin up or deadlift goals, now that I feel excited to be in the gym. I feel ready emotionally and physically to work with more challenging weights/movements. . . . You're going to go through seasons where your interests and passions change. I'm not saying you should stop exercising altogether (exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle). But you do need to find something that motivates and inspires you. Just because your friends enjoy running that doesn't mean that you have to like it (or do it). Find that type of exercise that YOU enjoy spending your time on. Maybe its kickboxing, group fitness, running, hiking, or yoga. Your workouts should excite you and leave you feeling "filled-up". . . . Because if you're not having fun or enjoying your workouts, you're doing it wrong. Reward yourself with fun, stress-free exercise that helps you live, look and feel your best. Happy Monday friends, let's get out there and move.

L U N C H Grilled salmon Red cabbage Spinach Sautèed mushrooms Roasted sweet potato Quinoa Do you eat protein with your meals? 👇👇👇 Protein (salmon, chicken, edamame, eggs, etc.) is one of the best natural fat burners, helps maintain+build metabolically active tissue, and keeps you full for longer. Happy Friday friends!!

Up for a challenge? Try holding a side plank with your feet in a suspension trainer. Aim to keep you hips up, glutes squeezed, and don't let your feet sway back and forth. How long can you hold for?? I held each side for 30s and my core was FEELING it. Set up with your shoulder over your elbow and put the foot of your top leg in front of the bottom. Then left your hips up and away from the ground by squeezing your glutes (bum muscles). If you're working on this skill try this from your knees or plant your elbow on a raised surface. Remember to keep yourself even and hold for the same amount of time on both sides. Let's get out there and move our bodies 👊
