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. 🔥
😅Smiles and Sweat in Malden!
The energy was amazing as we kicked off our 6-week HIIT series.🔥 Everyone brought their A-game, and it was awesome to see all abilities moving together.
🎯From battle ropes to TRX, bands, and ladder drills—we focused on heart health, strength, and fun. Let’s keep it going!

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!

📣 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.✨

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.

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. 💥
When it comes to the classic debate of Pocari Sweat versus Aquarius, fans on both sides have strong opinions about which sports drink reigns supreme. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/08/19/yoshikawa-sports-drinks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sports #pocarisweat #aquarius #exercise #health #softdrinks

🚨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.💪🏾
