Knee Surgery to Beast Mode💥
💪🏾Two years ago, my rockstar online fitness client Jill faced knee surgery after a ski accident. Today, she’s rewriting her story—plyometric push-ups, single-leg box drives, and pistol squats like a pro.
🎯This isn’t just fitness. It’s resilience, growth, and a comeback that inspires.
📣Never give up!

🇺🇦Thinking of all of my Ukrainian friends, volunteers I met from around the world, and heroes on the front lines.
💪🏾 Reposting my first visit to the legendary Kachalka outdoor gym in Kyiv, built from scrap metal and community spirit.
➡️ Remember, whether it’s donating, raising awareness, or sending a message of encouragement, every action matters.

📣 Professional Update: New Partnership in Healthy #Aging for Malden
💪🏾Today I introduced my SPARTA Strength Class at Heritage House in collaboration with Mystic Valley Elder Services . This class is designed to make movement accessible, fun, and empowering for all abilities. 💥
🎯It wasn’t just about #fitness—it was about building #community. Looking forward to future sessions with these incredible residents.✨

🇺🇦Back from Ukraine, back to community.🇺🇸
💪🏾Today was my first class at the Milano Senior Center in Melrose since returning from my humanitarian volunteer trip to Ukraine.
With ages from 65 to 97, we are a diverse community of all backgrounds and abilities. We don't just lift weights—we lift each other up.✨

Exercises of the day: Chain-loaded clean squat to overhead press + Commando pull-ups 💪🏾
🇺🇸Back home in the U.S., I advocate for health equity. Here in #Kyiv, I found a living example of it.
🇺🇦First visit to the legendary Kachalka outdoor gym, built from scrap metal and community spirit.
🎯This gym isn’t just about fitness; it’s about connection and the enduring spirit of the Ukrainian people.

🗣️Honored to be featured by the National #Fitness Campaign (NFC) for my work activating the Malden Fitness Court! This spotlight reflects a mission many of us share: making fitness accessible, inclusive, and #community -powered.
The article highlights my approach to public #health through:👇🏾
• Strategic Partnerships
• Inclusive Programming — Free, welcoming events for all
🎯In a time of funding cuts, these grassroots solutions are more essential than ever.
I suspect the #whitecollar #recession if it arrives will sharpen the need to rebuild the #birthrate
I say this because it's quite likely the majority of new #jobs will either require #strength and #fitness or extreme #adaptibility.
Specifically, they'll require the kind of attributes that put oldies like me at a disadvantage.
💪🏾 Pull-ups for Ukraine 🇺🇦
Day two, early morning in Odesa. Before the work began, I found a calisthenics 🌳park for a mini workout.
As a 50-year-old humanitarian volunteer, I've learned that my well-being is part of the mission. When I take time for my mental and physical health, I can show up fully—ready to give all my energy and focus to the people of Ukraine.🌻

The Most Overlooked Move for #Aging Strong ➡️ Half kneeling + unilateral load
🎯 Why it matters (especially #over50):
This lift and press variation helps your body resist rotation, stabilize under asymmetrical load, and build strength where it counts.
✅ Fights #sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss)
✅ Supports #spine #health
✅ Builds hip & core stability
✅ Breath & motor control
✨ It’s never too late to get active.

This is what real strength looks like.💪🏾
💥Meet my #fitness clients, Judy and John. At 76 years young, they’ve completely transformed their lives since starting online strength training with me in 2022.
🎗️One is a #cancer survivor, and both have shown that consistent movement at home can change everything. They’ve gone from using resistance bands to enjoying gardening, and from doing push-ups to keeping up with their grandkids. 💥
🇺🇦🇺🇸 I’m an American, and I’m not giving up support for #Ukraine. Not now. Not ever.
💪🏾 Today was my last workout session at the #Fitness Court in Malden before heading out in a few days on my sixth #humanitarian volunteer trip. I hope these efforts, however small they may seem, carry a message of resilience and unity to the people of Ukraine.
✨Every act of solidarity—from donations to conversations—makes a difference.

First visit to Level Ground in Fields Corner—and I left inspired.
This is my childhood neighborhood, and I couldn’t be prouder. The Summer Student Showcase was pure joy: youth-led stations, proud families, and nonstop smiles.
Big respect to Ali, the Level Ground team, and every student who showed up and showed out.
Nonprofits like this can’t do their work without #community partners, donors, and volunteers.

🚨Better than an abs crunch: two unconventional core exercises for strength, spine health, and healthy aging.
✨They are demonstrated by my online fitness client, a 66-year-young rockstar who knows that staying strong is the key to keeping up with his grandkids.
📣Because aging strong isn’t about chasing aesthetics. It’s about training for life.💪🏾

Summer Fest 2025 💥 #Boston
✨What an honor to lead a HIIT class at the 4th Annual Heatwave D4 Summer Fest in my home neighborhood of Dorchester. It was a full celebration of movement, #music, and #community resilience.
❤️The highlight for me? Having my mother, Millie, join the festivities. Her presence was a powerful reminder that this work is generational.
📣Huge thanks to Councilor Brian Worrell, The Hoop Collaborative, and everyone who made this day possible.
