why so serious

In 2011 the NIKE MAKE YOURSELF campaign ran.

Girls would come in to take class at ALPHA VENICE

& would fill out a questionnaire.

On the piece of paper it would say:

I WANT TO MAKE MYSLEF _________.

My answer was STRONG

There are so many things we don't know that we don't know.

I am so thankful for my dedication and my drive.

Since then, I have made myself strong.

From life's ups and downs,

I have hung in there and kept on trucking.

It is true, if you say things enough to yourself, they come true.

So let's set the intention and get after it!

MAKE YOURSELF_______________.

MOBILITY - opposition

We are creatures of habit.

Our physical activity tends to be consistent.

The problem with repetitive movement is the Reciprocal Inhibition.

For everything that you are overusing there are things that you are underusing.

Runners:

STRETCH!

Open up your chest

Work on the ROM in your lats.

Arm Circles Back

Sun Salutations

Runners Lunge with Rotational Reach

Most importantly....change things up!

NEW Yummy Venture

ALPHA SPORT is making things to go.......

I am taking suggestions for what you hope to TASTE!

HARNESS YOUR POWER

We are in charge of our own happiness.

No one can give it,

or take it away.

What makes you SOAR?

Each one of us finds our own piece of heaven on earth.

That feeling that you get as though you are lifting off the ground.

For me, it is CREATING.

When my brain is working and bringing ideas to life.

The concept that we can change our path in a spilt second makes me feel ALIVE.

How do you hold onto that feeling?

How do we lengthen those moments?

Look for the beauty in the in between moments.

If the everyday things, the common things, that we take for granted

become special, become things worth noticing,

imagine how much higher the joys will be.

There can be less time/space between the incredible moments of gratitude.

Jump at the opportunity for optimism.

 Do you choose cloudiness or clarity?

My head may be in the clouds, but I want my intentions to be CRYSTAL CLEAR.

The Crooked Truth

This is my spine....not so straight huh?
But can you see how well my body has adapted to keep me upright?
My tailbone & C spine are stacked right on top of each other.
The beauty of the human body is its ability to heal itself.

The truth about me, is that I cannot train like a person who doesn't have scoliosis.
I have aches and pains that most people don't regularly have.
BUT what I do have is the knowledge of how to heal myself.
I know what I need to do to keep my body healthy.
Training single sided helps me to neuromuscularly learn how to counter balance my imbalances.
Now that I have been through injuries and gone months unable to train,
I understand that beach muscles only tighten me in places my body should be open & fluid.

Vanity aside, I want to be pain free.
I want to make smart choices.
I want to be able to explain to someone in pain that is can subside.
That we need to learn how to adapt.
How to train our brains to understand that we are all different.
Balance, is the key.

GINGER COOKIES

While I work on perfecting my 

GINGER MOLASSES COOKIE recipe

what I can offer you, is the next best thing.

WOW: Gluten Free Baking Company

I have had EVERY FLAVOR of these cookies. 

They are just the right texture & flavor.

They are an amazing brand that is also GMO-free.

REAL. CONSCIOUS. FOOD.

Summer in March?!

86 degrees in March in SOCAL
WAKE UP THAT SUMMER BODY!

No matter what time of year, keep yourself in shape.
Take the time to train your body, clam your mind and nourish yourself properly.

I know that not everyone lives in CA: ETERNAL SUMMER, but healthy should be a lifestyle.
The continual flip flopping of in season off season is not great for your metabolism.
People that crash diet to lose weight for vacation end up eating a ton. Then they return without fitting into any of their clothes.  That doesn't feel good on the outside or the inside.  

Lets focus on self respect and self control.
Retrain your brain to want things that are good for you.
Be aware of recovery and allowing yourself to live a little without falling off track.

Confidence comes from self love, self love can be attained by listening to you intuition, your body & ME.  Let me guide you to a healthier lifestyle....one day at a time.
Be proud of yourself for staying consistent.
Look forward to your healthier options

opposites DO NOT attract

You know that feeling when someone that doesn't LOVE fitness asks you about your day?

When people just don't get that an ideal day is a workout and a healthy meal?

So why would someone think that opposites attract?

If you don't enjoy sweating....I don't understand

People that can go for days without wearing a pair of sneakers......

BLOWS MY DAMN MIND

It's not an obsession, it's a passion;

It's a lifestyle. 

Being good to myself starts with taking care of my body.

It also requires that I surround myself with likeminded people.

People that work hard, play hard & are open to all life can throw at them.

That along with self awareness,

is what makes a beast A BEAST.

Hi, I'm Awesome

THATS ALL......

Badass!

MAKE THE RULES....

If you only have this moment once, why not make the best of it?
Do you only have one chance to make a first impression?
Is there only a single shot at greatness? 

Why does there have to be one PERSONAL BEST? 
Hit that make and keep reaching kid!

BE intimidating, but approachable
BE tough with a soft side
BE firm in your beliefs, but still willing to learn
