Finding JOY in Movement!

Do any of these resonate with you?

  • “I feel tight and stiff.”
  • “My stress level is off the charts.”
  • “I want to feel strong.”
  • “I’m walking, but not doing strength exercises on my own.”
  • “My body takes longer to recover than when I was younger.”

Do you find yourself prioritizing work, or your family’s needs over taking good care of YOU? Do you know what you “should” be doing, but you struggle to actually do it?

  • Remove the Friction to Achieve Your Goals

    What does Olympic Curling have to do with achieving your goals?

    The Winter Olympics just wrapped, and I know some of y’all were following skiing, ice skating and the dog who made a surprise appearance in the cross-country ski race.

    Curling has got to be one of the strangest sports I’ve seen.

    One of the players “throws” a heavy, polished granite stone, and two players sweep the ice in its path. This sweeping removes the friction so that the stone will travel farther. Sweeping can also affect the “curl” or trajectory of the stone.


    So, what has this got to do with you and your fitness goals?

    Starting (and maintaining) a new habit is hard! If you’ve tried to eat healthier, work out more, or go to bed earlier, and you just can’t make it stick, I have news for you. You are not alone. You are not a failure.

    What if instead of trying harder, or beating yourself up over your failed attempts, you simply took away the friction?

    How can you make this easier?

    For example:

    • Want to move more during the day? Set a yoga mat next to your desk.
    • Want to eat more fruits and veggies? Buy precut veggies and put them front and center on the top shelf of your fridge.
    • Want to change your bedtime routine, and improve your sleep? Place the book you’re reading on your pillow to remind you to read instead of scrolling.
