Hi! I’m a retired teacher and have 3 adult sons. Now I’m on a quest to stay as healthy as I can in my senior years!

Sometimes the best way to get more out of your workout is to bring someone with you. 💪🏽 Grab a partner for your next lifting session. The accountability might be just what gets you through those extra reps and sets you would’ve talked yourself out of if you were alone (that's how it works for me). Think of them as extra deposits into your health bank where your gains compound. 📈 Try this 45-minute workout next time you wanna build your booty with your bestie: • Side-lying weighted hip abductions x 3 sets • Hip thrusts x 3 sets • B-stance RDL with rotation x 3 sets A few tips: Train close to failure. Aim for ~2 reps left in the tank. Brace your core. Why glutes? Because strong glutes help you run, lift, climb, play and get off the floor with ease. And yes… they also build that strong shape you love in your pants. For the full workout library, click here! Ask me what you should work on! Which moves will you do this week?

The smoothie I make my kids almost every day. I’m mostly looking for an easy way to get fiber, protein, probiotics + quality calories into them to start their day so I worry less about their rest of the day nutrition. (see dairy/nut free subs below) 🫐 Frozen berries 🍌 ½ banana 🥬 half a handful of spinach 🥦 A little leftover broccoli if I have it. Key word: little. They cannot taste it 😂 🥣 ~¼ cup full fat A2 yogurt 🥣 ~¼ cup cottage cheese 🥛 Milk + protein powder OR about ½ a premade protein shake 🥜Tablespoon of peanut butter and a bit of honey. *** this makes it taste extra good 💪 Creatine **For those who avoid dairy, sub with nut milk, a plant-based yogurt, a plant-based protein** **For those with a nut allergy, consider Tahini (sesame seeds) or Sunflower seed butter** Add enough liquid to cover the frozen ingredients and blend. I don’t measure this perfectly. Protein. Fiber. Fruit. Veggies. Probiotics. Quality calories. That’s a pretty good win before they even leave the house. My husband and I have a little jigger of the leftovers! Enjoy the visual below that AI helped me create to keep things visually appealing! (missing from image = peanut butter + honey) How many of these ingredients do you keep as staples in your pantry/fridge/freezer? Will you make this?
