One reason people find their exercise program falls by the wayside is boredom. If going cycling gives you pleasure, turn it into a daily health and fitness opportunity. Cycling with friends can make it even more enjoyable by committing to cycle with them. You are more likely to do it and are less likely to let other things stop you. Some people enjoy going to the gym for strength training exercises, where again, going with a friend may help you keep the commitment. Try new activities to keep yourself interested and motivated. Do what works best for you!!. We're not all gym goers.!! What's important is consistency, which is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. #tbt #itsalifestylenotadiet #myhealthiswealth💯 #myhealthandfitnessjourney #49andfit #fitforlife #cycling #outdoors #fitforlife #consistencyiskey #committedtomygoals
The maxim "The art of making money begins with a daring vision and is sustained by relentless discipline" encapsulates the dual nature of financial success. It suggests that achieving wealth is not just a matter of practical action but also of cultivating a certain mindset. A "daring vision" is about seeing beyond the current reality to what could be. It's about setting ambitious goals that may seem out of reach or unattainable to most. Visionaries in business are often those who imagine a new product, service, or way of doing things that disrupts the status quo. They are innovators, creators, and dreamers. But vision alone is not enough. That's where "relentless discipline" comes in. This is the day-to-day grind, the execution of the vision. It involves persistence, consistent effort, and a refusal to give up despite setbacks. Discipline means staying focused on the end goal and doing what needs to be done, even when it's not exciting or when the initial passion has faded. It's about systems, routines, and habits that move you closer to your financial goals. Together, these two elements form a powerful combination for making money. Vision provides direction and inspiration, while discipline ensures ongoing progress and eventual attainment of the goals set forth by that vision. It's a reminder that while it's important to dream big, those dreams must be backed up by the hard work of building them into reality. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ #moneymindset #moneymindsetcoach #buildingafoundation #dreamgoals #visionary #vision #hardwork #successful #coachingonline #coachingmindset #successfulmindset #financialstability #financialgoals #finance #investmentquotes #investinyourself #discipline #dedication #realtalkwithtashmell #coachinglife #committedtomygoals #consistency

No one probably told you this 🫢... The majority of your TIME and EFFORT has to go into the planning of your goals. Yes, action is important. But what comes before your action? Your mindset. And this can be different from one day to the other. But what if you done all the planning in one sitting, whilst in your best mindset 💭 It's like going food shopping. The goal: Get food shopping The action: Go to the shop, food in trolley, pay. That would be hella stressful right? Why is that? Because you hadn't put the time and effort into the process and MADE A LIST! All sorts of things could go wrong (not enough ingredients, over/under buying, a loadaa snacks and not enough veg) And guess what... That would affect your whole week right? And probably a few more shopping trips. Whereas, if you put the time and effort into the food plan, well, the goal is way easier to achieve. Sunday is my planning day, when's yours?

This might be an unpopular opinion, but… Being motivated won’t get you to your goals. But being committed will. What’s the difference? Committed to something means I am willing to do what it takes, go the hard way, stay the course even when circumstances tell me to give up. It’s fighting through the tough. Motivated means there is a desire to do or a willingness to do something. Well, I desire to sleep in most days 😂 Having a willingness to go after a goal is not the same thing as taking action towards it. That’s what commitment does for you - it gives you ACTION. 📣What goals are you COMMITTED to? Comment below and let’s support each other!

"Sunday, the day of rest, but today I awoke at 3:30 in the morning, feeling like it was God's hour. As I sat on the couch, exhausted and in pain, I wondered why I was up so early. My body aches in every corner, but nothing can take away this pain. Yet, amidst it all, I hear a voice in my head telling me that I've done enough this week, that I should just relax today, after all, it's Sunday, the day of rest. But I refuse to succumb to these excuses. I refuse to listen to my inner bitch. I know that the only thing that takes away the soreness is doing more work. Today, I choose to be relentless, committed, and grateful. 💪🙏 #RelentlessSunday #CommittedToMyGoals #GratefulForTheChallenge"
If you have a hard time staying committed, everything will be a distraction to you👏🏼💯 You need to learn how to concentrate. How to shut your mind off with the nonsense of the world and focus on YOU. There's a lot of distractions out there. The way I see it is, If it's helping me achieve my health, fitness and business - it gets my attention. If it drains me emotionally and adds unnecessary stress - it gets ignored. Huge things I've changed over the last 3 years when the entire world was consumed with fear?? I quit watching garbage TV (mostly the news) I quit staying up late (I mean late, I was a night owl until 3 sometimes 4 am 😬) I stopped mindlessly scrolling social media (getting lost in whatever everyone else was doing and taking away from I could be doing) I changed my habits and it made me re focus on the positive things I needed in my life. My mindset won't be broken bc I've worked too hard to get to where I am now, physically and mentally. The journey never ends, aiming for more growth and love where I'm headed Like David Goggins says, stay hard 💪🏼😎 #focusonyou #focusedongoals #myfitnessgoals #fitnesslifestyle #femalefit #gettingontrack #stayingontrack #gettingfit #keepgoing #goalstomake #makingprogress #committedtomygoals #committedtofitness #femalefitnessmotivation #womenwholift #strongmindset #strongwomenlift #womeninspire #stayhard

Your goals don’t care how you feel. I wasn’t feeling my best today and didn’t feel like working out, especially legs. I relied on habit and having a workout partner (thank you @barbarisidavid) who won’t let me take the easy way out to get it done. It wasn’t my best workout but it certainly wasn’t my worst either. What’s important is that it got done and I’m happy I did. You’ll never regret working out.

“The gym is the one place that gives you exactly what you put into it. Your effort and consistency dictate your return on investment.” ~ Dan North • • Progress is progress no matter how small. Increasing my deadlift reps one at a time each week. My goal is to rep 225 for 10 reps (and not die😝). I’m taking my time, following a plan and tracking everything (workouts, food, weight, etc.). I know I’ll get there eventually and get stronger in the process. There’s no better return on my investment than the strength I’ll gain. • • Back and Bis 💪 📍Conventional deadlift 135# x 10 185# x 8 225# x 7 (video) 245# x 3 (video) 📍Straight bar pullover/wide lat pull down 📍DB curls 21’s 📍Bent over cable reverse fly/cable OHP (video) • • #backandbis #progress #brickbybrick #boringisbest #keepitsimple #mevsme #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #nevergiveup #focused #determined #figurecompetitor #thisisfigure #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitat53 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert
“Expecting to succeed without working hard is like trying to harvest what you haven’t planted.” ~ Adrian Hernandez • • Still keeping it simple and focusing on strength goals. I’ve been able to increase my deadlift reps one at a time each week which is challenging but not impossible. Not where I want to be yet but I’ll get there in time. Not being hyper focused on my weight while making sure I’m properly fueled has made a difference in how my workouts have felt overall. While I still track what I eat and weigh, this building season I’m focusing more on the weight on the bar than the weight on the scale. That’s where the real progress is made. • • Back and Bis 💪 📍Conventional deadlift 135# x 10 185# x 8 225# x 6 225# x 5 (video) 📍Straight bar pullover/wide lat pull down/DB curls 21’s (video) 📍BB front raise/BB upright row/BB OHP 📍Chest supported front raise/chest supported reverse fly • • #backandbis #brickbybrick #getoutofyourcomfortzone #boringisbest #keepitsimple #mevsme #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #nevergiveup #focused #determined #figurecompetitor #thisisfigure #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitat53 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert

“When you accomplish a goal don’t look at it as the finish line, look at it as being the starting point for your next achievement.” ~ Unknown • • Time to reevaluate my goals. Only a couple of months into the new year and I’ve accomplished one of my goals, to squat 185 for 12 reps. Not only that, but I repped 225 for the first time. I’m focusing on strength goals and doing everything I can outside of the gym to maximize my efforts (nutrition, sleep, etc). I don’t know where I’ll be by the end of the year but I do know that I will be better and stronger and that’s what matters. • • Leg day 🏋️♀️💪 📍Leg ext/weighted walking lunges 📍Heavy DB RDL/back hyper glute focused 📍BB squats 135 x 10 185 x 12 205 x 5 (video) 225 x 2 (video) 135 x 12 • • #legday #noexcuses #ontonext #strongereveryday #dropitlikeasquat #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #fallinlovewiththeprocess #nevergiveup #focused #determined #figurecompetitor #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitat53 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert
“There is no excuse for not trying.” ~ Unknown • • If you never try, you’ll never know. Don’t get me wrong, these weights still scare me, but the more I do them the more comfortable and confident I am in trying heavier weights.

“Embrace the struggle. It will make you stronger.” ~ Gymaholic • • I struggled with squats today and needed help with a couple of reps and I’m okay with that. There is no shame in struggling. In fact, it’s normal and part of the process. If you never struggle you’re probably not pushing as hard as you could be and missing out on serious growth.

“Mastery requires both impatience and patience. The impatience to have a bias toward action, to not waste time, and to work with a sense of urgency each day. The patience to delay gratification, to wait for your actions to accumulate, and to trust the process.” ~ Shelby Starnes • • Putting the extra food (and weight😜) to good use today and pushing my limits on squats. I left the gym last week thinking I should’ve went for another rep. Today I did just that and left it all there. I’m slowly gaining more confidence to lift the heavier loads. Sometimes the easiest way to do something you’ve never done is to just do it.

“Don’t lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.” ~ Ralph Marston • • One of my goals this off season is become stronger on my squats and eventually squat 185 for 12 reps. I’m pushing my limits and consistently squatting 200 and above for reps. As challenging as heavy squats are mentally and physically, I refuse to lower my goal.

“No matter how hard your journey feels, wake up and show up.” ~ Unknown • • Calories are up as well as strength (weight too 😜) so I thought I’d take the 60’s for a spin on DB rows and it felt good, challenging but good.

“Fitness done right is boring. Showing a new video every day performing the same shit with good form isn’t appealing in our quick-hit dopamine-infused culture. But honestly, if good trainers actually showed their training, that’s what it would be because it’s what works best.” ~ Jonathan Goodman • • Sticking to the basics consistently over an extended period of time is where the real flex is at. By doing so you’ll be able to accurately measure your progress. Real progress takes an incredible amount of consistency and patience to achieve. As you can see, my workouts don’t vary much at all. Sorry, not sorry for the boring videos but the basics are what really works. Don’t overcomplicate things. You can’t say something didn’t work if you weren’t consistent with over an extended period of time. 😉 • • Back and Bis 💪 📍Hex bar deadlift (video) 📍BB row/rear delt raise 📍Pushup row (video) 📍Seated narrow cable row (video) 📍DB curl press 📍Chest supported I Y T • • #backandbis #keepitsimple #basicsworkbest #getresults #noregrets #dreamchaser #mevsme #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #nevergiveup #focused #determined #figurecompetitor #thisisfigure #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitat53 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert
This year I am committed to writing up my patterns and getting them in the shop. 🧶Over the years, so many people have asked for patterns. I am finally going to do it! 💕 #ilovetocrochet #crochetpatterns #newyearsgoal #commitment #committedtomygoals #crochetlife #crochethappyplace #crochetgoals
“Show up for yourself like you said you would. Love yourself like you said you would. Be kind to yourself like you said you would. Work hard like you said you would. You owe it to yourself to be everything you’ve ever dreamed of being.” ~ Unknown • • It’s been almost two months since I’ve deadlifted and it felt good. Calories are slowly increasing and I’m feeling much better in the gym. I’ve got my goals (all strength) written down and where I (and everyone else) can see them every day to keep myself accountable since I won’t be competing this year. It’s always uncomfortable to purposely gain weight and watch the shreds disappear, but I know it’s part of the process. However, it feels good to get stronger and eat more so it’s a tradeoff. I will keep showing up for myself, working on myself for myself. All of my tomorrows depend on what I do today. 😉 • • Back and Bis 💪 📍Hex bar deadlift (video) 📍BB row/DB rear delt raise 📍Pushup row 🤮 📍Seated cable narrow row 📍DB curl press • • #selfcareisntselfish #showupforyou #goaldigger #noregrets #dreamchaser #mevsme #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #nevergiveup #focused #determined #figurecompetitor #thisisfigure #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitat53 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert

“Each time we summon the willpower to “do a little more” or do something “we don’t feel like” doing, we gain more of the strength and resolve needed to achieve our dreams.” ~ Jordan Strauss • • I’m definitely needing to summon the willpower to do things I don’t feel like doing as I close out these final days of prep, more-so on the diet side than the gym side. I’m going to be stepping on what may very well be the biggest stage I ever step on which excites me and scares me at the same time. I know from experience that it will be over in the blink of an eye. That being said, I want to relish each and every moment as it comes knowing that this was something I had once only dreamed about doing and now it’s really happening. It’s taken a lot of sacrifice to get here, but I can say without a doubt that I did this, this was all me, and for that I’ve already won. I want to thank @barbarisidavid for supporting, encouraging and making this possible. This is your victory too and it’s always sweeter with you by my side. 😘 • • Back and Bis 💪 📍Machine laterals/neutral grip lat pull down 📍Wide lat pull down (video)/DB curl press 📍EZ bar cable upright row/EZ bar cable front raise (video) 📍High cable reverse fly/high cable curls 📍Cable Y raise/cable OHP • • #6daysout👙 #amateurolympia #noregrets #dreamchaser #mevsme #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #nevergiveup #focused #determined #figurecompetitor #thisisfigure #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitat53 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert
“All gas, no brakes.” ~ Robert Saleh • • I’m in the home stretch, only 13 days until I step on stage for the last time this season. I hit my goal weight today and super proud of that. Not because of the number so much as how I look at that weight. After having done this many times I know where I need to be to look my best on stage. I’ve also retained a lot more strength during this prep than any other, which is a major win in my book. I believe a lot of it is due to having the proper mental attitude and not using a calorie deficit as an excuse to not work hard. That would be the easy way and nothing good comes from easy. It’s the hard stuff that makes us who we are. • • Back and Bis 💪 📍SA DB row/pullups 📍Cable reverse fly (video)/cable curls (video) 📍Rope pullover/face pulls 📍Wide lat pull down/EZ bar curl press (video) 📍Machine laterals/neutral lat pull down (video) • • #13daysout👙 #amateurolympia #noregrets #mevsme #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #nevergiveup #focused #determined #figurecompetitor #thisisfigure #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitat53 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert

“Make sure your work ethic isn’t the reason you don’t succeed.” ~ Unknown • • There are a lot of things beyond our control but work ethic is not one of them.

“I still remember the days I imagined what it feels like lifting weights I warm up with now.” ~ Unknown • • Bodybuilding is so much more than vanity. It’s an endless pursuit of becoming your best self once you’ve realized your potential. It’s self respect. It’s commitment and dedication to your goals. It’s overcoming obstacles knowing that you’ll come out stronger on the other side. It requires discipline, patience and constant work. It’s knowing as long as I don’t give up I cannot fail, I will just get stronger both physically and mentally. I’m very grateful for where I began, because without that I couldn’t appreciate where I am now. And where I am now is just the beginning. I can only get better. • • Back and Bis 💪 📍T bar row (video)/dead stop pullups (video) 📍Wide lat pull down (video)/standing angled pull down/straight bar pullover 📍SA preacher curls (video) 📍Cable reverse fly/cable Y raise (video) 📍TRX reverse fly • • #7daysout👙 #winning #mevsme #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #nevergiveup #focused #determined #ocbfigurepro #figurecompetitor #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitat53 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert
“There’s never going to be a time when you’ve outgrown the basic lifts. What’s actually advanced is knowing how to keep things simple.

“It’s just sort of been a theme in my life: to enjoy the age I am and not look at aging as a negative, but as the privilege that it is.” ~ Jennifer Aniston • • Growing older is a privilege denied many that I am truly grateful for every day.

“Begin your day saying “I get to” instead of “I have to”. I “get” to eat well. I “get” to train hard. I “get” to work on my goals, whatever they may be. So often we dress our opportunities as burdens when they are actually blessings.” ~ Allison Moyer • • I look forward to and am very grateful for the new opportunity I have each day of working towards my goals and becoming a better me in the process. Shifting your mindset from “I have to” to “I get to” makes all the difference. It has for me. I no longer see working out as a chore or something to just hurry up and get over with. Each workout is done with intention and is an opportunity to be better than I was yesterday. I don’t know if I’ll ever reach my goal, but I do know that it won’t be for lack of effort. Even if I don’t I am enjoying the hell out of the journey of becoming a better me. That’s the real goal! • On a side note, deadlifts felt good today so I thought I’d test my strength. Not only did I get 225 for 2 reps, I was able to get 245 for 1 rep. It’s been a while since I’ve done that. Not bad for a body weight of 119. 💪 • • Back and Bis 💪 📍Conventional deadlift 135 x 12 185 x 6 (video) 225 x 2 (video) 245 x 1 (video) 📍Wide lat pull down/bent over straight bar pullover/standing straight bar pullover 📍Standing cable reverse fly/high cable curl • • #6weeksout👙 #noregrets #mindsetmatters #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #nevergiveup #focused #determined #ocbfigurepro #figurecompetitor #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitover50 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday #wjclassic @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert

“Everything changed when I figured out that big moves only come from lots of small moves. The tension of wanting things to happen overnight fell away. It took the pressure off and let me focus on putting in the daily effort that creates real growth.” ~ Cory Allen • • There is no destination or end goal when it comes to fitness. It’s a lifelong journey of self awareness, commitment and an improved way of life. When you focus on the daily actions and habits needed to achieve your goal(s) instead of how far you have to go, the pressure falls away and you begin to enjoy the process. That’s when real growth happens. Day by day you’re building a better, stronger more resilient version of yourself both mentally and physically. Before you know it, it’s a part of who you are. It becomes a way of life. • • Back and Bis 💪 📍Conventional deadlift 135 x 12 185 2 x 6 (video) 205 x 4 (video) 📍Wide lat pull down (video)/bent over straight bar pullover (video)/standing straight bar pullover (video) **tip on the straight bar pullovers - I keep an open hand on the bar instead of gripping it to more fully engage lats so I don’t get my triceps involved 📍SA standing cable reverse fly/high cable curl (video) 📍TRX reverse fly • • #7weeksout👙 #fitisawayoflife #makeitalifestyle #noregrets #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #nevergiveup #focused #determined #ocbfigurepro #figurecompetitor #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitover50 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert

I am a personal development junkie. I love learning, I'm growth obsessed and I just can't get enough. 🤓 I'm the kind of person that highlights, underlines, dog ears pages and circles. I'm the person walking around leaving voice notes for myself and collecting a STACK of notebooks, furiously trying to capture all my creative downloads, ideas, and things I don't want to forget. But here's the thing about PD - you can listen to all the podcasts you want, read as many books as possible, watch all the webinars ... But it really means nothing if you don't IMPLEMENT what you are learning. Knowledge is power, but only potential power - it is the action that makes it real. Something I've recently started adding into my daily routine: 1) In the morning, I decide WHAT I want to learn about. Then I pick a podcast episode or a book very intentionally based on that goal. 2) I read out loud, or I repeat key points out loud to myself (this is seriously helpful, even if it feels a bit crazy!) 3) Before I go to bed I reflect on one thing I've learned during the day, and how I'm going to implement that into my life going forward. One takeaway, one simple action. It's simple, but powerful. ✨ What's one thing you want to learn and implement today?
"What will people say" I'm guessing that THIS sentence has killed more dreams than anything else you could say to someone.

“If you want to see success, be willing to show up for yourself daily. No. Matter. What.” ~ Unknown • • The hardest part is showing up. It’s up to you to get you where you want to be. No one is going to do it for you. The most important thing you can do is show up for you.

“How do you get better? You show up when it is hard and do it anyway.” ~ Brendon Burchard • • Today was definitely one of the hard days. I’m just about halfway through my prep and I’m starting to feel it, not bad, but it’s definitely there. I’m well aware that it’s all part of the process and the best thing to do is push through these hard days and remain consistent. It’s time to embrace the suck! • • Leg day 🏋️♀️💪 📌 Leg ext/weighted walking lunges 📌 High box step ups/leg press 📌 Cable RDL 📌 BB squats 115 x 12 135 3 x 12 (video) flex credit @mr_always_stage_ready 🤣 • • #15weeksout👙 #dropitlikeasquat #embracethesuck #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #fallinlovewiththeprocess #nevergiveup #focused #determined #ocbfigurepro #figurecompetitor #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitover50 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert

“If you are serious about change, you have to go through uncomfortable situations. Stop trying to dodge the process. It’s the only way to grow.” ~ Unknown • • An easy way to make an exercise more difficult without adding weight is to add a pause, in this case, at the bottom of the squat before ascending. This increases the time under tension and eliminates any momentum but they also reduce the amount of weight you can lift. The pause can be anywhere from 1-3 seconds. If you want to challenge yourself or just make your workout a little more interesting, (this will definitely do that) give them a try! • • Leg day 🏋️♀️💪 📌 Leg ext/weighted walking lunges 📌 Weighted Bulgarian split squats 📌 BB paused squats 95# 2 x 12, 115# 2 x 12 🤮 📌 DB RDL 65# 3 x 12 • • #15weeksout👙 #dropitlikeasquat #getoutofyourcomfortzone #challengeyourselfdaily #proudbutneversatisfied #natty #committedtomygoals #patienceandconsistency #fallinlovewiththeprocess #nevergiveup #focused #determined #ocbfigurepro #figurecompetitor #npcfigurecompetitor #fitmom #fitover50 #momswholift #faithandfitness #personaltrainer #flexibledieting #reversedieting #myjourneycontinues #trusttheprocess #embracethepaceofyourjourney #thejourneyisthedestination #countyourblessingsnotyourproblems #gratefuleveryday @barbarisidavid @the_yard_fitness_gilbert
