Loving this today! You too? Mmmmm, k.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was born on December 13th, making me a Sagittarius if you follow western astrology. But every time I read my horoscope, I was like, "Ummmmm, kinda...but not really."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ About 10 years ago when I was going through a rough phase I was introduce to Asterian astrology, where I learned that I'm actually a Parca, which is one of the three versions of Scorpio. And I was like, "THIS IS SO MEEEEEEE!" My rising is Libra, which too I was like, "Ohhhhhh, that's why I tend to be relationship needy!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you didn't already figure it out, I'm an Enneagram 3 through and through. It's a blessing, and a curse. Thankfully I've got strong 1 tendencies as well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm an ENFJ "The Teacher" (of course) according to Myers Briggs, with a "Very Good Match" to ENFP "The Champion" - not surprised here either.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My natural attachment style historically was anxious-avoidant. I can remember times as a little one when-on the outside-I'd be like, "What I'm fine I'm good by myself all cool here nothing going on, nope" when inside I was like, "Whaaaaaaa I'm freaking out!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As you can see, this post certainly applies for me. I believe it's why I'm a coach. I've always been obsessed with understanding those around me. I find people fascinating and I LOVE learning to understand you more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Seemed a great opportunity to introduce myself to new followers. I'm honored you're here, and hope to have the opportunity to get to know you more. So let's begin....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What Enneagram are you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What kind of astrology do you follow and what's your sign?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Religion? (I'm super spiritual, and was raised Presbyterian. But, I made up a story that my ancestors were Jewish because it speaks to me so much 😂 My mom was like, "Honey, we're not Jewish")⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dying to know....tell me about you ❤️
While there is still so much work to do, I persona While there is still so much work to do, I personally find some hope in this quote.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While we are still divided, I personally believe we are moving towards change.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While we are still imbalanced, I personally believe that it's possible for us to become better...more united.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And progress matters.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Black Lives Matter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We all matter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #MLK would have turned 92 last week...and I wonder what our world would be like with him still in it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From my heart to yours...
Radical Self Acceptance⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Radical Self Acceptance⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can you love, honor, and worship your body at the very moment when you’re compelled to criticize it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s easy to love your body when you feel good about it. The real test is if you can LOVE it just as much when you’re not happy with it, and ALSO remain steadfast in your journey to creating optimal health and the fitness level you desire (and deserve).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And let’s talk about that for a minute. @jamessmithpt shared an incredible rant on the body positivity movement. And that at times, it gets twisted into celebrating obesity as an expression of self acceptance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s the thing...how about celebrating and loving yourself and your body 100%...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...AND love it enough to stay committed to the hard work that produces an exceptional physique - NOT from society’s standards, but from an objective (and medical) assessment of strength, fitness, cardiovascular health, agility, mobility, and body composition.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because really and truly, there are few things more important than a supremely healthy and fit body. Not because it looks good...but because it allows you to...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Live longer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Feel better⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Avoid injury⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer (which remain the #1 and #2 causes of death)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Live life fully and play with your grandkids⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Love your body. Love it when it’s “good” and love it EVEN MORE when it’s not where you want it to be. It’s your vehicle in this lifetime. The interesting thing is, you’ll reach your goals faster by loving yourself there. Not by abusing yourself into progress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From my heart to yours...
Welcome to a brand new year, my dear friend.⠀⠀ Welcome to a brand new year, my dear friend.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's time to let go of the past, and embrace the 365 opportunities ahead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are 3 key things that will help you create change:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Strategy (that's right for YOUR specific goals)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Action (because a great game plan doesn't work without it)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Time and consistency (progress doesn't happen in a week or two)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The biggest mistake I see women make in fitness programming is bouncing around between workouts and "program hopping." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you like variety in your workouts each week, just be sure that your strength workouts are consistent, allowing for true progressive overload each week. That means you've got to be repeating key moves so that you can know if you are (or aren't) making progress. Find variety by including 1 or 2 workouts each that are for just that - fun and to keep things fresh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To wrap up the Hollydays of December series in a nice little bow, I am offering one more free workshop next week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you like to DIY your workout programming, I've got something extra special for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Join me January 14th for a free special event...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How to Create a Training Plan to Achieve Your Specific Goals (without wondering if you're doing it right)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'll be showing you some key concepts in program design and things to know so you can make 2021 your fittest year yet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This special event is 100% free, but does require registration. Link in bio for all the details. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can't wait to watch you THRIVE this year!
Have you ever found yourself admiring another woma Have you ever found yourself admiring another woman’s fitness or body? . And have you ever caught yourself assuming that it was easy or natural for her? . And, does that subtle energetic suggest that it’s different for you? . I’m obsessed with observing and assessing the female body. Always have been. . In the almost 30 years that I’ve been working with women I can count on one hand the number of women who it came easy for. . I promise you, being fit, lean, and foxy isn’t a coincidence. It doesn’t happen by accident for anyone. . She wasn’t born with it. I certainly wasn’t born with it. . And if you weren’t born with it either, guess what? . You can have it. . You just have to earn it. . It will require some degree of effort, intention, and strategy. And...it will be worth it. . Go for it, babe. Whatever your goals are, set the intention, find the strategy, get consistent... . And go for it. . (And if you’re interested to learn some strategy, I’m teaching my best tips tomorrow during a new live workshop. Link in bio for details. ❤️❤️❤️ . PS. And PLEASE...next time you see a fit and foxy woman, cheer her on. Because if you can spot it in her, you’ve got it in you too. High five her, and go after your own.
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-c Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes... . Was on my mind the whole day as I traveled to my beloved Los Angeles last week. . just. cannot. wrap my head around all that is happening, and has happened for us all. . Los Angeles has changed. The world is forever changed. And I’ve changed. . So I said, “F-it...time for a hair change as well...” . Feels good. . 🙏🏻 to @diegoraviglione for yet another masterpiece
Does coffee count as breakfast?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (IMO, ummmm no)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And is it even important to eat breakfast?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (yesssssssss, I'll share why in a mini)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coffee is good if I'm intermittent fasting, right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (You'll be on fire for about 4.2 hours, but....)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know, I know..."but Holly, so and so said that I can fast, drink coffee and workout and it'll burn more fat..."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I believe...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Intermittent fasting works best for brief, dedicated, committed phases - don't make it a lifestyle. And, not everyone needs it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *"Early time-restricted feeding" IF means that you front load your food during the daylight hours so as to optimize circadian rhythms and blood sugar⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Eating within 1 hour of waking sets in motion a cascade of metabolic reactions that stabilize blood sugar helping you avoid late day crashes, hunger and cravings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Eating a well-designed breakfast lays the foundation for stable blood sugar all day long. Which means you'll burn more calories as fat during the day⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * So no....coffee does not count as breakfast⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *And drinking coffee in the morning so that you can push through a workout and fast until noon causes a reactive blood sugar crash later in the day when the caffeine is metabolized⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While there are certainly benefits of IF, the last reason to do it is for weight loss. The jury is still out on that anyway.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What works for my clients who want to do IF: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Put your feeding hours first thing in the day⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Eat within 1 hour of waking⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Avoid fasted workouts⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Fast during the darker hours of the day⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I find that for women, cracked out, caffeinated, fasted workouts in the morning are a great path to pronounced late-day hunger, food cravings, energy slumps, and stalled progress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So yes, breakfast is important 😝
Personal update (and real talk about my neck defin Personal update (and real talk about my neck definition 😂) . If you’re new around here: Welcome! I’m truly honored that you’re a part of my circle. My mission is to help women around the world embrace the power of strength training and nutrition as a way to transform your life. . Last year I faced a personal storm that inspired me to give up the life I knew, shift gears, and begin a new chapter. . This year has been incomprehensibly tragic for the entire world. Every day I have to talk myself through deep upset and global fears (you too? 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩) . And...for me...this year has also brought some incredible gifts as well. . Because of it all, I’m currently in Pennsylvania spending some time on my family farm, working out the kinks, and rebuilding. . If you’ve been in my circle for a while, I want to thank you... . Thank you for your support, ...thank you for riding out this storm with me...thank you for remaining in my community while I navigate this new chapter. . In truth, I’ve felt a bit lost over the past year. And therefore haven’t been as present here on social media as I prefer to be. . The good news is that I’m getting my mojo back! And this leads to real talk about my neck definition. Would you look at that anatomy!? 💪🏻🤩👌🏻 . There is a subtle societal belief that women should have long, elegant, and “feminine” necks. . Being fit is one of THE BEST things you can do for yourself. It makes you powerful, confident, and self assured. . There are 3 signs of someone who is super fit: 1) vascular calves 2) vascular forearms, and 3) a defined and vascular neck. . As my fitness improves, my neck is the first to show it. And I love it! To me, it’s a badge of honor 🏅 . If being strong and fit means my neck is less “feminine” - I’ll take it any day! The same goes for my forearms. I LOVE to see veins and the proof of my hard work. . Is it just me? Do you dig it too? Or do you worry about getting a defined neck? 🤪Seriously, I need to know please...
This sweet boy is all grown up now. He was the bes This sweet boy is all grown up now. He was the best addition to my life, and reminds me to LOVE every single day. Happy #nationaldogday ❤️❤️❤️
I achieved my best body ever at the age of 40.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was amazing. I was on fire.I was powerful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s the best feeling in the world when you reach your goals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I did it through a very specific combination of...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Progressive strength training ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Heart rate based cardio⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Highly strategic nutrition⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then, a few years later, I started getting some troubling health issues that many doctors couldn’t figure out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Health issues that knocked me down hard.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I found myself very much off track. Confused about everything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Who am I even!?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Health issues turn your world upside down. Big or small, when you struggle with health complaints, you STRUGGLE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You feel lost. You feel alienated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You lose your verve.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m wondering if you can relate?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You look back on the times when you were at your best and think...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If only I could get back there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But here’s the thing: it’s not about getting back THERE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s about growing into the next better place.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s about starting where you ARE and taking action to get where you want to BE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me, that meant using a NEW strategy so that I could get to this new - and more amazing- place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You don’t need to get BACK to anything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’re here. Right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The real question is....where do you want to GO?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You have more power than you realize. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Nutrition Project is now open for enrollment.

Use this opportunity to put a stake in the ground and choose some way to support a meaningful cause in your life. . To me, THIS is women supporting women. . I challenge YOU to step up and into an even stronger version of your already perfect self. . (And listen, there is also a time and place when taking care of you is a meaningful action in the world. You’ve got to be strong first in order to support others). Supporting your family is huge. . And I’ll share what I’m personally doing right now to contribute in some small way to a better world. . I’ve been working harder this year than ever before. Since January, I’ve been working 7 days a week to provide as much free shit as possible.

Combined, this means I can increase the amount of my yearly charitable donations. Historically, I donated 1% of profits to various organizations. This year I’m allocating 5% of total gross revenue to important causes and organization dedicated to creating a better world in all ways. . And with that, I nominate YOU, my friend. Show me your colors. Tell us how you’re changing the world, even if in some small way. Challenge accepted? . Tag me. #womensupportingwomen

Refer back to my last two video posts and use all 3 this week. . Ya know what's missing??? . HIIT + Abs!!!! (Coming soon) . I really like a split training protocol for strength training for women. . A "spit training protocol" means that you are splitting up body parts or movement patterns throughout the week (instead of doing random, or full body workouts) . It is NOT muscle confusion or intuitive training. . Instead, you strategically plan out what body parts (or movement patterns) you're going to do throughout the week so that you're building the body you want. . This allows you to harness biological energy and direct it towards a muscle group, ensuring you provide enough stimulus to actually change the muscle. . A mistake I see women make is that they disperse energy all over the place, instead of focusing intention towards a specific goal. . Specificity is one of the most important laws when it comes to improving your body. . Complete all 4 exercises as straight sets with 30-60 seconds of rest between all sets, aiming for 10-15 reps for 2-3 sets each (all depending on your fitness level and access to appropriate equipment) . ☝🏻Band Chest Press ✌🏻Band Chest Fly 👍🏻Band Triceps Pressdown 💪🏻Bench Triceps Dips . How have your workouts been going at home? Mine? Meh, so so. But I'm getting it done. For me, that's good enough for right now. This just isn't my season for peak physical shape ✌🏻
