You don’t need a new year to start chasing your

You don’t need a new year to start chasing your goals.

The new year is always a time when people set goals for themselves. It makes sense, too. I mean, the calendar resets, so why not make this YOUR year?

We’re all looking forward to this nightmare year to end, but that doesn’t mean you need to just wait around for that to happen.

You can make changes right now.

Whether you have goals revolving around weight loss, strength gains, business, or relationships, you can start today. Or tomorrow. Or this weekend. You don’t need to wait until January 1.

Weight loss goals are very common when the new year rolls around. The problem with these goals, in most cases, is that people try to achieve quick results. They start January 1st and hope that they’ll be 20 pounds down by February.

But like most things in life, those results take time.

Let’s say that realistically, you lose 1 pound per week. That doesn’t sound like much, but it is certainly attainable. If you start right now, you’ll have a 4 pound jump on your weight loss goal come January 1st. By February, you’ll be down 8 pounds.

That is not only a realistic goal, but amazing progress.

Whatever goals you have set for yourself, I urge you to consider starting them now.

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Not 4 weeks from now.

Right. Now.

Get your hand off the panic button. Slow down. Bre

Get your hand off the panic button. Slow down. Breathe. It’s okay!

You’re human. Even if you have all intentions of staying on track and eating the exact amount of calories you plan to every day, sometimes you’re going to overeat. And that is totally fine.

You need to get comfortable accepting overeating as a fact of life. We’ve all done it. We’re all going to do it again.

This very well may have been the case over Thanksgiving. Or your birthday. Or vacation.

Eating more than you planned to is going to happen sometimes.

The only real problem that comes out of that is people thinking they need to do damage control afterwards. Working out extra hard to try to “make up” for the extra calories, skipping meals to try to offset the calories, or just giving up completely thinking their progress is already ruined.

If you simply move on and go right back to your normal plan, you’ll realize that nothing bad happens from overeating. Even if you went way overboard, once you get right back on track, it’ll be quickly forgotten.

If you know you over-ate and want to be more mindful the next day, I’m on board with that. You can be careful with your portions and be mindful of the excess snacking the following day, but this is NOT the same as damage control.

You’re not punishing yourself- you’re simply being more careful.

I’ve posted this before, and I’ve gotten backlash from people saying that you should be able to work out after a day of over-eating to burn off calories. And of course I think working out is a great idea, always. But you should never use exercise as a form of punishment or as a way to offset your diet.

You don’t need to earn back calories. I never recommend hitting the gym twice the next day to “make up” for those extra calories. Exercise as a way to improve your overall health or to ASSIST your weight loss efforts, but never to combat your diet.

I know this is one of those things that is easier said than done, but you didn’t fail. You didn’t ruin your progress. I promise.

You simply ate more than you wanted to. And that is totally okay.

It’s probably time for a rest day…or seven. F

It’s probably time for a rest day…or seven.

For a very long time, I would hit the gym 6-7 days per week. I felt pretty good and I hated taking time off, so I figured why not just work out every day?

Occasionally I’d take a day off, but more often than not, I was on team #nodaysoff.

It took me a few years to really learn the importance of recovery. While I thought I was being hardcore hitting the gym every day, I was actually just being plain stupid.

Once I started resting, even just 2 days per week, my recovery improved greatly. I felt better physically AND mentally, and I actually started to see results faster. It sounds counterintuitive, but when I worked out less, I saw greater results.

Then when Thanksgiving week rolled around a few years ago, I was “forced” to take a full week off. Mentally, it was a huge struggle. I felt like I was losing all of my progress, and I absolutely hated it.

But when I hit the gym after that week, my workouts were SO much better. Not only did I feel just as strong, if not stronger, but I felt more motivated than ever to have great workouts. It felt next level, and now I look forward to full weeks off to allow my body & mind to reset.

Don’t forget: our muscles don’t grow when we workout- it happens when you’re resting and recovering. If you want to build muscle and/or strength, you absolutely NEED to allow your body to rest. If you beat your muscles up 7 days per week, they’ll never get a real chance to recover and grow.

And days off don’t need to mean doing absolutely nothing (although by all means, be a couch potato if you’d like). On my rest days, I still try to get close to 10K steps to remain relatively active. But otherwise, I allow my muscles to fully rest.

If this week has you taking some days off, enjoy it! Embrace the rest and recovery- odds are that your body really needs it.

Taking this whole “fitness influencer” thing f

Taking this whole “fitness influencer” thing for a whirl.

My workouts are always changing and my routine doesn’t look the same week after week, but here’s a recent arm workout of mine if you want to switch things up.

1️⃣ Seated barbell shoulder press: 4x10
2️⃣ Single arm lateral raises: 4 dropsets of 20 reps
3️⃣ (Superset) Incline front raises + Rear delt fly: 4x12
4️⃣ (Superset) Single arm preacher curls + single arm pushdowns: 4x12
5️⃣ (Superset finisher) Rope pushdowns + rope hammer curls: 30x3

When it comes to working my arms, I typically stick with lighter weight and higher reps. Especially when it comes to biceps + triceps, high rep has always worked best for me when hypertrophy is the goal.

Remember that your workout split and/or volume may look totally different than mine. I like to hit everything twice per week, but you do you!

Let me know in the comments if you’d want me to share more workouts! If you hate it, you’ll never have to see another workout again🙃

PS: don’t take yourself, or your workouts, too seriously. Have some fun!
