Do your knees hurt when you squat and lunge? We all have certain compensatory patterns that can throw off our #foundation. Without a proper foundation, you’re much more susceptible to injury and joint pain from squats and deadlifts. Here’s a Little tip on improving your #squat and #deadlift. I will use myself as an example: I have a fused first metatarsal on my left foot (my big toe doesn’t bend) and an arthritic big toe joint on my right foot. Therefore, I tend to supinate (roll my weight to the outside of my feet as I lower into a squat.-damn I sound old 😂).This causes my inner thigh muscles on my right to disengage. Which puts more pressure on my left knee and loads my right knee in a bad way. Here’s a simple way to wake up the correct muscles and get warmed up at the same time. I also did 20 reps x3 sets each of: banded-side steps, Glute bridges, donkey kicks with these squats. Keep resistance light and try not to rest in between sets, then roll out on a foam roller, you will feel the difference!. #teamtraining #gymlove #funworkouts #justdoburpees #fitness #fitnessmotivation #wellness

Some ideas for your #legday. Step one: get urself some #catpants. Then try out this posterior focus hypertrophic workout. 4 sets of 12 reps, 70%1RM.
Deadlifts-caught myself losing neutral spine several times while videoing. Remember you shouldn’t be able to look at yourself in the mirror at the bottom of your deadlift. Keep your back straight. Take a video, it’s great feedback!
Be sure and try the supersets on the cables, they are suh-weet! Also not pictured: 5 sets of squats and walking DB lunges. #teamtraining #funworkouts #wellness #fitmom #advocare #gymlove

I'm not the fondest of cats but I'd totally rock those pants on leg day sister 👍🏻💪🏼😂🤗
My OG Fakeout Salad. Never gets old! They offer a light dressing, but I’d rather just use less of the real stuff. How about you? #fattastesgood #dontmesswithmydressing #ranchloverforlife #fullfat #veggies #tastysaladrecipes #health #wellness #healthyrecipeideas

I sometimes mix my Newman’s Ranch with salsa. Less fat, still delicious!! I agree with you! No low fat dressing!
Have you guys tried this Trader Joe’s “everything but the bagel sesame seasoning blend“? It’s D Lish! I love it on salads with hard-boiled eggs. #Tasty #HealthyFood #RecipeIdeas #SaladIdeas #Wellness #GoodFood

Hope you take some time to rest and recover from the busy work week! Have a splurge meal, but don’t let that turn into a splurge DAY. If you’re trying to lose body fat, you can undo all your hard workout efforts form the previous week in a weekend. WE CANT HAVE THAT! Here are a few things to #focus on to have a #successfulnutrition weekend:
*eat breakfast. Skipping breakfast is a set up for overeating later in the day.
*make it a goal to drink at least half your body weight in water 💦 (not tequila) 😂 each day.
*pack some fruit, nuts, cheese sticks, protein bars (#advocare has the gingerbread bars back in stock) 🙌🏻 or protein shakes (love AdvoCare RTD’s)
* #decide on your splurge meal. It’s so much easier to stick to healthier options knowing that you’re getting an indulgence soon! #delayedgratification is an important focus to build your #discipline!

Got these cool cards at #scwmania2018. Lots of topics to make you think about #health and #wellness. Check out Bruceandmindy.com. Good stuff. Do you #meditate? Meditation is the process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts. It’s great for reducing stress, increasing awareness and focus. When I first started meditating, I had a hard time focusing #squirrel . This is PRECISELY why I needed it! I had to learn to take the distracting thoughts and fears that would enter my mind and “change the channel “ to take me back to my breath. Learning to do this is powerful! If you can master this, nothing can rattle you! How cool is that?!?!
There is no right or wrong way to meditate. Try an app and let us know how what you 🤔 think? I like Chopra’s 21day challenge.
