🏀 Before teaching my inclusive HIIT class at the Early Learning Center in Malden, I saw that kids’ hoop and my Boston basketball roots kicked in! I turn 51 in a few days, but I still had to test my skills.
👏🏽Gave myself three chances after years of not playing... and sank it on the third try!
Always find time to play and SMILE! 😅

Fitness Gods, hear my prayer! 🙏🏽
Turning 51 in a few weeks, so I had to test my favorite sequence—what I call the 😅Holy Trinity of Push-Ups:
One-Arm ➡️ Diamond ➡️ Plyo Clap.
Wasn’t sure I still had it… but I do.💪🏾
📣 Age is just a number!

#Exercise of the Day: Mini Band Skaters👟 (Foot-Level Variation)
🎯Low-cost. High impact. This variation—demonstrated by my online #fitness client—uses a mini band around the feet (not the ankles!) to seriously increase resistance and demand greater control. (Therabands work too.)
✅ Glute Medius Activation
✅ Eccentric Control
✅ Lateral Stability
💥Perfect for beginners building foundational strength or seasoned movers looking for a fresh challenge.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 A few days ago, on my last day volunteering with Chervona Kalyna in #Kharkiv, I was honored to receive a certificate of gratitude from the foundation’s head, Liudmyla Katkova.
Before arriving, I had sent CAT 7 tourniquets⛑️ from the U.S. to support those on the frontline, and helped connect the foundation with an organization donating pet food.🐾
✨I’m grateful for the opportunity and the new friendships formed.

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.

🇺🇦 🌅It’s early morning in Odesa, and I’m heading to my next destination for humanitarian volunteering: Kharkiv.
🗣️This will be my first time working with a small, community-led Ukrainian group there, and I’m honored to join their efforts.
✅ I I’ll be sure to share updates from the ground.
Wishing everyone a great day. ✨

💪🏾 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.🌻

🧵1/2 📣 Rejecting #Misogyny is #Patriotism
🗣️As a #coach, an uncle, and a son, I have a responsibility to speak out against this culture of disrespect and misogyny. I call upon others in the sports and #fitness industry to do the same—not tomorrow, but today.
🚨The sexualization of #WNBA athletes, the rhetoric from elected leaders, and the constant mockery of women’s dignity by social media influencers are not isolated incidents. These are deliberate, dehumanizing actions, reflected in
🔱 Wearing my Ukrainian trident hat with pride while sharing one of my favorite exercises: the Cossack squat. This movement has deep roots in Ukrainian culture, and it's a powerful way to build mobility, strength, and longevity—all qualities inspired by the resilience of the Ukrainian people.
With 20 years in the #fitness industry and 50 years young, I'm a firm believer in the power of functional movement. I'm not giving up, and you don't have to either! 💪🏾
🔥Battle ropes—great for indoor or outdoor training. Low-cost gear, high impact. At Malden’s #Fitness Court, I walk through grip techniques and rope variations you can build on—whether you’re just getting started or leveling up.
At 50 years young, I know: strength is for everyone. 💯

The story of the blue doll🇺🇦🇺🇸
🎁A gift from an incredible woman—Mrs. Olena.
She remembered me from my last volunteering in #Kyiv.🇺🇦
When she’s not weaving camouflage nets, she crafts handmade dolls for frontline defenders, too.✨
This one found its way to Malden.🇺🇸
I’m thinking of her. And the people of #Ukraine 🇺🇦
