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!

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

People who survive heart attacks often emerge feeling like they have a new lease on life. They might quit their jobs, go to Disneyland or otherwise make big change. One change they ought to be thinking about: Physical activity. Many studies have shown #exercise and #fitness to be vital to good #health, in just about all situations. Including after a heart attack, new research reveals. Even light activity goes a long way.

"It's the idea of health professionals 'literally prescribing you a community activity or resource the same way they'd prescribe you pills or therapies,' she [Julia Hotz] explains. The prescriptions include exercise, art, music, exposure to nature and volunteering, which are known to have enormous benefits to physical and mental health."
