  • Play! Most of us need more #play in our lives. For me, being upside down and on my hands is one of my favorite things. For nearly 40 years I’ve loved a good handstand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So why not do more of them, simply for fun? For “play”? Good question. This morning I decided to do just that. *Handstand walks forward and back. *Handstand walks side to side. *Shoulder taps. *Press and play. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why stop doing the things you enjoy just because you “don’t have to do them anymore”? Are there things that have always brought you joy that you could bring back into your life just for FUN no matter how silly they may seem? We’d love to hear in the comments below! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #primalpeak #pillarsofhealth #importanceofplay #handstand #onceagymnastalwaysagymnast #fun #peakpotential #fitmom #momofboys #joy
  • Nature! Sometimes we have to bring nature IN in order to learn more about the magical world that exists beyond our everyday. The boys and I had an amazing time at our local eco center @swanerpreserve experiencing a handful of creatures and their ninja defense mechanisms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Gaining an appreciation for the natural world and the defenses we each use for SURVIVAL can help spark the desire to do what we can to preserve and rebuild the habitats critical to all walks of life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Connecting to these little critters was a good reminder that we are part of an elaborate ecosystem. Our choices effect the food supply, environment and wellbeing of all life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #primalpeak #nature #naturesninjas #wonder #curiousity #explorenature #ecosystem #connectwithnature #pillarsofhealth #peakpotential #surviveandthrive #kidswithanimals
  • “Cooking with kids is about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity.” - Guy Fieri ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was honor for the hubs and I to join this fun group of junior high students last week to make Banana Almond Pancakes! In a joint effort by @eatsparkcity and @ysaparkcity these kids have had the unique opportunity to join Olympic, professional and elite athletes (even old retired ones like ourselves) to learn about fueling for athletics and practice their kitchen skills. #teamdoleac ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most of you know I’m a big advocate of getting your kids in the kitchen whenever possible to empower them with the competence to feed themselves real food! Cooking has become somewhat of a lost art due to the conveniences we have and overcommitted lives we live. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bringing ourselves back to the basic tenants of wellness, including cooking from scratch, can work wonders on our journey to health and happiness. Starting with our youth is the key for generations to come. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #primalpeak #getinthekitchen #kidsinthekitchen #pillarsofhealth #bananapancakes #grainfreepancakes #foodasfuel #nationalnutritionmonth #peakpotential #foodmatters
  • Tuesday’s Training! In honor of this little dude’s 11th birthday today I figured I’d give him the spotlight. Note: He is not on a lifting program, and he does not regularly lift weights! But, he enjoys any physical challenge and learning how to do what he does BETTER. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My husband and I allow him to practice basic lifts only when we feel he has mastered the control and technique to keep his little body safe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And of course, on your birthday you eat cake! Thanks to @vanessabarajas for her incredible Death by Chocolate Cake recipe. This #grainfree masterpiece has become this boy’s birthday request for years now! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #primalpeak #momofboys #happybirthday #pillarsofhealth #trainingday #trainingtuesday #movementmatters #deadlift #fitmom #glutenfreecake #deathbychocolate #celebrate
  • Mindset matters! We are nearing the end of March and the birds are starting to chirp! Spring is in the air for sure. More energy, more light, more vitality. Now, what to do with all this snow?🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #primalpeak #pillarsofhealth #momofboys #mindset #momlife #snow #springfever #springisintheair #optimistic
  • Tuesday’s Training. Upper body focus! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Main Lift: bench press 5 x 8 (Note: Due to years of training I feel comfortable keeping my stomach tight and driving through the floor with my feet to brace my body during bench press. However, placing bumpers under your feet is a good idea for shorter people to remove the arch in the back.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Accessory movements Superset 1: Strict pull-ups 3 x 12 Ring dips 3 x 11 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Superset 2: Dumbbell press 3 x 10 Bent over barbell row 3 x 10 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I share some of my workouts not to encourage anyone to do exactly what I am, but just to show you a glimpse into my current routines. There are so many fabulous exercise options, and movement you enjoy is the best place to start! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #primalpeak #pillarsofhealth #movementmatters #trainingtuesdays #peakperformance #momofboys #fitmom #strongmom #pursueyourpassion
  • Determination. Our 10 year old was determined yesterday to clear a couple of feet (maybe more) of ice and snow from our backyard so he could shoot hoops. He made progress, but as the snow fell harder it was a backwards battle. He says he’ll keep trying! #lovestohoop ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All of our small steps (or small shovels) add up overtime. Point them in the right direction and who knows what’s possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pursueyourpassion #determination #mindset #primalpeak #pillarsofhealth #momofboys #momlife #youthbasketball #hardwork #peakpotential
  • Rest! It’s easy to forget that giving the body rest from the many elements of our busy lives is just as important as the work we put in! Rest from WORK, rest from PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, rest from FOOD (fasting), rest from SOCIAL engagement... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pursuing our passions, exercising, eating good food, and surrounding ourselves with a supportive social network are all necessary in order to nourish ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally. But, removing these elements from time to time allows the body to heal and recover at an even higher level. A little space and downtime can result in true fulfillment, greater productivity, and deeper well-th overall! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make a little time for REST today! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #primalpeak #pillarsofhealth #rest #recovery #peakpotential #sleep #blackcatsofinstagram #slumber #momlife #momofboys
