Dead Set Nutrition & Fitness

Hey Fitfam,

I appreciate those of you messaging me to see if I am okay since I haven't been around much.

As Cody Rigsby says, I'm on the struggle fu**in bus.

I'm not ever going to spew toxic positivity, so my posting might be a little more sporadic over the next few weeks. Trust that I'm alive.

Til then, keep it going how you know you'll succeed: with routine and discipline.

I won't be taking on any new clients for the next few months but please reach out if you'd like to work together in the summer 💛

Needy boys can't wait for Saturday morning savasana 💛

To all my friends, family, and clients, I am grateful to have you in my life.

I hope you have an amazing day full of the things and people you love most 💛

Pro Tip: Drinking gritty ass greens and collagen out of a fancy glass makes the experience slightly less miserable 👍🏻

When you are working towards achieving your goals – whether in the gym or out – you are going to hit snags, get interrupted, and face failures on your road to success.

The path to success is never linear. It's erratic, with ups and downs, and long periods of no progress.

Still…

Persevere.

Stay consistent.

Be determined.

Know that what you are working towards is worth the effort, the pain, the disappointment…

No matter what, just keep moving forward.

In the end when you reach success – which you KNOW you WILL, it will taste so much sweeter.

If you’re feeling like things aren’t working out right now or you’re in a lull, make a list of all the small ways you’ve grown, changed, or endured. Use these small victories as the fuel that keeps that fire inside you burning strong.

Don’t lose your spark.

YOU ARE WORTH YOUR EFFORT.

Be so dedicated to your goals that nothing can stop you from reaching them.

Stay away from those who try to belittle your ambitions.

Keep people in your life who accept you for who you are, but also help you become who you should be.

If you look around and feel like you don’t have that person…DM me.

I’m always here for you as a coach, but more importantly, as a friend.

One of the biggest...I'll be honest here...excuses I hear from clients who are trying to make changes in their lifestyle is that they don't have access to some of the tools they need to succeed in becoming stronger and healthier.

It's understandable that not everyone can afford a monthly gym membership.

Not everyone can buy a whole weight set (I didn't even buy mine, I got it on Freecycle 100 years ago!), or even has the space for it.

BUT...there is plenty you can do to transform your body with what you already have:

YOURSELF.

Bodyweight exercises are accessible to all, can be modified depending on your fitness level, and can be enhanced by something as simple as a band or an incline.

Pushups, pull ups, planks, sit ups, step-ups, squats, and many other exercises require just your body weight to be effective, meaning you can start NOW with no equipment.

You can even lose body fat doing body weight exercises.

As you get stronger and your form / balance improve, you will need to increase the difficulty of your moves to see more progress.

If you're ready for a challenge, bring in a friend, throw your child on your back, or squat holding your dog because, hey, anything can be a weight if you want it to be!

Let's leave the excuses at the door and get moving with our most precious asset: our AMAZING bodies! 💪

3.6 for 36 and these feets are graced by God 🙌🏻

Grateful for another year of health, love, and sweat 🤘🏻

Cheers to picking the most obnoxious brand color for and buying a new running coat to match it 🥴

At least they'll see me coming now!

"Call me a softy, I dare ya!"

Weird flex but ok...
