Still recovering from rotator cuff surgery. They said no running, but walking is okay. Well then, hold my beer. Gentler Streak considered my fast walking as “running”, it is generous.
Also, jumping rope looks easy on paper, but in practice it’s torture. How did I even do this when I was a kid?
Power is for Everyone. ⚡️
Fun Fit Fact! ⏰ Did you know that as we age, we lose power (strength + speed) at twice the rate of strength alone?
⭐️Watch my amazing rockSTARs from our #Inclusive #HIIT Class in Malden take on battle ropes and ball slam variations to build power, confidence, and connection.
Why Power Training?
▪️ Faster Reaction Time = Fewer Falls
🧠 Brain Boost = Cognitive #Health Support
👊🏽 #Muscle Preservation = Fights Age-Related Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia)

The Dumbbell Front Squat with Purpose⚡️
My online rockstar client demonstrates utilizing front-racked dumbbells for a 3-second isometric hold to build raw strength and core stability. Keeping the elbows high ensures perfect upper-body posture and mimics the demands of a barbell squat clean.🏋🏽♂️
The secret to the hold? Complete breath control and bracing under tension. ⏸️💪🏾

#TBT | From Then to Now 💪🏽
🗣️ 20+ years in the fitness industry—and there were times my personal journey with clinical depression and sobriety brought real challenges. The support of friends and the medical community was a lifesaver.
Now 11 years into recovery, I’m thankful for this community, for the path I’m on, and for the opportunity to keep moving forward and support others on theirs. One day at a time. 🙏🏽

Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.
No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.
This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.
So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.
I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

Starting 2026 off with two things I ❤️
1️⃣ The underrated benefits of a long walk
2️⃣ Iced coffee—even when it’s 25°❄️☕️
🎉Wishing everyone a Happy New Year—may you find your simple joys and stay consistent with the things that keep you happy!

Stronger Together! 💪🏾
Finished up my last SPARTA 👟Strength class for 2025 at the Malden Senior Center. We had a smaller group today, which just meant more time for connection and quality reps!
I'm incredibly grateful for the center staff and the opportunity to be part of this strong, supportive community. See you in 2026! 🎉
