One time @hldobbels said “let’s go to surf cam

One time @hldobbels said “let’s go to surf camp!” and I said “Okay!” Had either of ever surfed before? No. But that didn’t matter because we decided to step - swim? - our of our comfort zone and try something new.
.
We’re all out of our comfort zones right now. Honestly? I like it. I HATE being stuck at home, but I like being pushed to do uncomfortable things, things out of the ordinary. I’ve always seen the value of change, even when I also have a tendency to get a little too comfortable sometimes.
.
I’m using this uncomfortable time to build my coaching business, write all the things, read a lot, and recommit to the goals I set earlier this year. We joke that 2020 has been rough, but what if this period of uncomfortableness is the best thing that’s ever happened to us?

*Not social distancing from my fridge* Talk about

*Not social distancing from my fridge* Talk about a "pantry staple" meal. I threw this together over the weekend with what I had on hand and while it might not LOOK amazing, the taste was unreal. I've got a relatively high protein macro - 160g - so to hit that, all of my meals are protein based. This breakfast plate PACKED with protein:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1 Egg ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
100g of Egg Whites⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
28g of Shredded Cheese⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Broccoli ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Leftover Roasted Potatoes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Leftover Ground Turkey ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I scrambled it all together in a pan and topped it with salsa, salt, and pepper. Let me just emphasize that it was GOOD, not to mention super east. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know this pandemic has us all out of sorts and the desire to snack is pretty high. I've seen the "social distancing from my fridge" memes and while funny, I think you can still eat healthy (AND treat yourself... I've had chocolate every day of this work from home nonsense) with what you have on hand.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've got a couple more fun "Pandemic Pantry" snacks to share later this week, all made with stuff you likely have in your cabinet. Stay tuned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your pandemic pantry go-to meal? I've got a lot of time on my hands and I'm cooking all the things...

Where are my @navarro_college_cheer people at? Day

Where are my @navarro_college_cheer people at? Day 8 of social distancing and I'll admit it: I needed a Jerry pep talk today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hate this. I hate that my routine has been interrupted. That my gym has to close. That I can't go into my office. Can't see my friends. Can't go home to visit my family. Had to cancel my trip to Los Angeles. That I'll likely spend my birthday sitting in my apartment eating a cake I bake myself, all by myself. That it feels like everything is on hold and up in the air and so uncertain. I'm a plans and schedules kind of girl. Uncertainty is not an area I do well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hate that I totally threw a pity party today because pity parties are SO NOT my style.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know this is necessary. I know that we MUST #stayhome. It's imperative for people like my 91-year-old grandmother and my immune compromised friends. We stay home now so we can flatten the curve. The sooner we all stay home, the sooner we can resume our "normal" lives later.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But you know what? It's okay to feel sad about the disruption. It's okay to be in our feels and to miss the things that we can't do right now. I'm very fortunate in the fact that I have a job I can do from home, that I'm not wondering about my next paycheck. I'm not overlooking that at all. But it's okay to feel our sad and to not be 100% okay with the way things are right now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's also important that we "mat talk" each other and ourselves like our boy @jerry.h.arris talks up his teammates. We can do this. We can feel our feels and we can Stay Home and do our part. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But feel your feels, friends. Don't feel guilty for feeling bad for mourning seemingly unimportant things like canceled hair appointments and closed gyms. Mat talk yourself, but let yourself feel. We're all going to be okay in the end, but it's going to be a wild ride of emotions to get there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But if you you need a pick me up? Go watch CHEER on @netflix. Jerry's got us.

Need a social distancing activity? How about clean

Need a social distancing activity? How about cleaning up your social media feed? Right now is the perfect time to sort through that Facebook friend list and the accounts you follow on Instagram and click 'unfriend' or 'unfollow.'⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did this earlier in the week. On Facebook, I unfriended people I didn't actually know and people who weren't adding value to my life. I did the same on Instagram, clicking the 'unfollow' button next to accounts that didn't fill my feed in a productive way. No worries - Twitter got the same treatment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now my feeds are full of people I know and accounts that are adding value. It not only looks better, it FEELS better.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So while we're all on Team #StayHome, clean up your feed. You want to. You know you do. And now you've got the time to do it. XOXO

Where are my extroverted introverts at?! I LOVE be

Where are my extroverted introverts at?! I LOVE being at home. My ideal Friday night? @Netflix and pajamas. Not even kidding. But I also love people. I like to talk. A Lot. And so, on Day 4 of working from home - Day 6 if you count this past weekend - this is where I'm at. Walking around my apartment singing "Part of Your World" (and maybe I did watch The Little Mermaid on Disney+ earlier, too). 100% chance I had my pajama shorts on inside out last night for hours before I noticed. Trust me, I should have noticed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is necessary and its temporary. And it's also okay to struggle with being in self-isolation. I live alone and if I didn't have a dog to keep me company/entertained, I'd probably lose my mind. I'm spending a lot of time on the phone and FaceTime to stay connected and I admit it, far too much time on social media. But it's a way to connect and that's what we need right now - social distancing doesn't mean socially disengaging, after all.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also recognize the importance of social distancing and flattening the curve so I'm doing my part. The more we do this as a collective, the sooner we can go back to "normal." But consider this your reminder that A) It's okay to be bummed about all of this and B) to check on your friends and family. Everyone is feeling their feelings right now and we need to support each other. Community doesn't have to mean just in person.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On that note, join me in singing Disney tunes, won't you? I'll be over here working my way through my childhood while I'm social distancing. (Thanks for opening the vault, @DisneyPlus!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PIVOT! <-- One of my favorite episodes of 'Friends

PIVOT! <-- One of my favorite episodes of 'Friends' and exactly what happened today when I attempted to lead an Instagram Live workout. I tried for 15 minutes, but I couldn't overcome the 'Poor Connection' message so I opened a box of Cheez-Its and Facetimed with a bestie. Afterward, I hopped onto my stories, explained what happened, and promised to post the workout tonight (see below).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I pivoted. My plan fell through and yeah, I was annoyed, but you know what? This works, too. Plus, you can save this workout and come back for it later. IG Live? Gone in 24 hours. Win-win, really.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Right now, we're all being asked to pivot. While we're not trying to move couches up flights of stairs, we're pivoting nearly every single component of our day-to-day lives. It's what has to be done and its not forever. It's just for now. We can pivot for now. We might find we don't want to pivot back after all of this time to be still and reconnect with who we are and what we actually need (aka not 200 rolls of toilet paper.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, for the workout I had planned to do live with you:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3 Rounds: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️15 Jumping Squats⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️10 Alternating Forward Lunges ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️5 Push Ups ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then 3 Rounds: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️10 Tricep Dips on Floor⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️10 Glute Bridges w/ 3 Sec Pause⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then 3 Rounds: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️30 Sec Forearm Plank⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️10 Bird Dog Crunches Per Side⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
20 or so minutes of work with all the burn and endorphins. You can do this workout in your living room, outside, or even add weights to the squats, lunges, and bridges if you happen to have them at home. Rest no more than 60 seconds between rounds - we're going for short and intense here.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SAVE this workout and share it with your friends!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll try another approach to live workouts later this week - stay tuned!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep pivoting, friends. We've got this.

[Save this post] At home core workout anyone? If y

[Save this post] At home core workout anyone? If you train with me - or have had any discussion with me about fitness ever - you know I believe that a strong core is the foundation for basically everything. Every program I put together includes core work. Here's a great core workout you can do in your living room. I used a 5lb dumbbell because I had it, but you can do this with bodyweight:
.
▪️10 Russian Twists per side
▪️30s Forearm Plank
▪️10 V-Ups
▪️10 Shoulder Taps per side
▪️10 Plank Walks (alternate arms!)
.
Repeat 3x
.
Bonus if you have a tiny dog that tests your stability... Oh Knox... He doesn't understand social distancing.
.
Your core stabilizes your body. A strong, stable core can alleviate back pain, improve balance (reducing the risk of falls), reduce risk of injury, increase performance, and improve power output, among other benefits.
.
I'll post more of these type of workouts in the coming days, so save this post, tag your friends, and share the love.❤️
