What did I learn from this year's annual blood test results?

I shouldn’t run 40 miles the day before I get the blood drawn…

…unless I tell my doctor about the run *before* they see the results. 😆

💬I received a surprise text today—and it made my day. 😀

One of my former online fitness clients, Carol Ann (age 55), hit a major milestone:
🧱 Plank with a 45 lb plate
⏱ Held for 2 minutes
🔥 First time ever

🎯Carol Ann continues to break stereotypes about women and aging—proving that strength, discipline, and progress have no expiration date.

📣Let’s keep celebrating everyday victories—because they’re anything but ordinary.

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!
🇺🇸🇩🇴 ¡Pa’lante siempre!

#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.

Old School Exercise of the Day 💪🏾🌀
Traveling Swings on the Continuous Bar

✨ Demonstrated by my #online rockstar client Jill. First time trying this movement—and this clip shows her third set. She started unsure, but stuck with it and realized: she can do this. From static hangs to traveling swings, she’s building strength, confidence, and control.

🎯Simple. Challenging. #Fun. Can be done at the gym or your local #exercise park.

Never give up—only pull up. 🔥

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.

  1. Pick a website (ideally not too complex)
    2) Pick a style from https://cari.institute/aesthetics/ (they have about 95 styles, in case you want to pick by a random number)
    3) Redesign 1) in the style of 2

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.

💪🏾 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.🌻

You know that guy who makes the super supportive exercise videos where he’s like “can’t do a pull up? Work your way up to it by doing these other exercises first!” and super the opposite of all the shame-based exercise crap from gym class?

Turns out he has an app. I discovered I needed to scale back like 3 levels on pushups.

Hybrid Fitness Routine
====================
✅ Knee Raises:
20-13
✅ Incline Pushups:
12-13
====================
🔥 1 Day Streak
