Happy National Dog Day to the two 70 lb reasons I apparently need strength training. 😂

Walking them? Loaded carry with unpredictable lateral forces.
Someone sees a squirrel? Surprise max-effort isometric.
Both decide to go in opposite directions? Advanced anti-rotation training.

I love these ridiculous animals more than is reasonable. 🐾

Also increasingly convinced dog moms deserve their own strength program. Just saying. 👀

Apparently I’ve become a person who owns entirely too many tablecloths. 😂

I’ll be setting up another one this Saturday with in Irvine.

I’m doing free 10-minute movement + performance check-ins while I’m there. So if your shoulder is doing a weird thing, your knee keeps complaining, or something just feels off and you can’t explain it, come tell me.

We’ll play detective for a few minutes and see what information your body gives us.

I’ll be hanging out with OC Roller Derby this Saturday in Irvine 🛼

And instead of just sitting behind a table handing out business cards, I’m doing what I actually like doing: playing detective with people’s bodies. 😂

Shoulder doing that weird thing? Knee keeps complaining? Something just feels off and you can’t quite explain it?

Come tell me.

I’ll be doing free 10-minute movement + performance check-ins where we’ll try some things, see what changes, and learn a little more about what your body is telling you.

This isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a tiny experiment.

Come say hi. I’ll be the one asking entirely too many questions. 😂

My right leg has been through some s**t. 😂

And then I became her mom.

Obviously the best thing ever. 🐾

Volunteering with yesterday and this place is basically begging me to sit on the floor, talk to strangers, and never leave. 😂

I’ve been making a very intentional effort to spend more time in actual communities with actual humans instead of living behind my computer trying to convince the internet that I know things. Turns out I like this version much better.

Happy to be here yesterday, be useful, meet people, and support the work is doing. 🫶

Good morning from my “why am I awake this early?” era. 😂

Heading out to volunteer with WalkGood LA this morning. I’ve been spending a lot more time getting out from behind the computer and into actual rooms, events, and communities with actual humans, which is apparently where I belong anyway.

Excited to hang out, be useful, move around, and meet some good people today. 🫶

I take the work seriously.
Myself? Absolutely not. 😂

Fitness has spent a long time confusing intensity with good coaching.

I’m much more interested in what the person in front of me actually needs, and what the science says we should do with that information.

We’re surprisingly good at adapting to things that bother us.

Change the exercise.
Avoid the stairs.
Warm up longer.
Tell ourselves it’s “not that bad.”

Until tolerating the problem becomes normal.

You don’t need to panic about every sensation.

But you do need to notice when you’ve been organizing your life around one.

Paid a lot of money for those letters. Might as well use them. 😂
