I said I’d post some good burpee-alternatives, but when I thought about it more I figured modeling how to perform burpees SAFELY was more on-point than trying to deter people because of my own personal bias 😂😂 so here ya have it folks! The first burpees I’ve done in 15+ years (really 😂), just to share the vital pieces of doing them safely & effectively!

How to do burpees safely & effectively!

Reduce impact on hands/wrists & knees/ankles while creating explosive concentric phase with the jump.

Focusing time and effort towards consistency allows us to build the habitual repetition necessary to see tangible results. Once we’re in the habit of daily movement, it becomes a relatively simple task to incorporate intensity to improve heart health, elevate metabolism, and Expedia the results.

When we’re angry, frustrated, stressed, exercise gives us the opportunity to burn off that energy and release endorphins. For those of us who run on the tense side (like me lol) exercise becomes an invaluable tool for managing emotions and behavior.

Walking is one of the most effective tools available to us in regards to creating a more ideal energy balance and changes to body composition. While effective nutrition will likely always remain our most powerful tool for this, to execute a fitness plan without incorporating daily walking is, in this trainer’s opinion, kinda like swimming in the ocean with a snorkel instead of a scuba setup — it’s still beautiful and exciting, but limited when it comes depth and breadth of results & experiences.

Unrelenting Prioritization — when we choose to treat exercise and nutrition with the same priority as our most important activities, we begin to see the benefits across the board: more presence, more peace-of-mind, and better hormonal and neurotransmitter regulation ‘bleed-over’ into our most important activities & behaviors.

No sweaty sweats or nutrition treats today — just a little outdoor beauty to remind us all that being healthy & fit isn’t about showing off a 6-pack on IG but rather engaging with life more fully, more meaningfully, and more presently. 🌸

Happy Sunday everybody.

YES 👏 preach @jameelajamil and @thedailyshow !!!

Regardless of how you feel about @jameelajamil and @thedailyshow , the sentiments in this clip are invaluable and on-point. 🔥 🔥 🔥

INDUSTRY wants your money, not your well-being. That said, there are tons of providers and folks within this industry who are far more interested in helping you be happier, healthier, and more capable. (see: @azulcorajoria , @itscoachgoodman , @syattfitness )

Industry and well-being are not mutually exclusive. But any industry that ‘solves’ the issue by compounding the problem is looking to solve their issue ($), not yours.

When exercise is presented as elite and exclusive, it’s often a ploy to make you feel like you should spend your money so you might join the ‘elite and exclusive club’.

This is utter bull****.

Exercise is for everybody. Period.

Today’s post is about conditioning.

Those who’ve been following along will know that this is far from Kona’s first big stick — that said it may very well be the biggest.

She didn’t start out able to manage the weight and balance of this massive branch, she worked her way up to it. Over time, day-in, day-out, she lifted and carried sticks not for the sake of lifting heavier sticks, but simply for the joy of it.

Progress doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens because we are tenacious, passionate, and committed.

Thanks for showing us the way Kona B 😍

Boom! 💥 Thank you @precisionnutrition for being a sane voice in an insane space.

Change comes from taking the opportunity to learn, grow, and be happier. 😊

For many of us, learning to be kind to ourselves is step one. ☝️

If we can remove the guilt and shame and replace it with good feels we can begin to relearn the true value of on-point exercise and nutrition.

Protein check! ✅ Have you eaten a suffient or optimal amount today?

A general rule of thumb is around 0.8 grams of protein per lb of target bodyweight each day. ⚖️

For most of us, that means increasing our protein intake, sometimes dramatically.

Don’t overcomplicate it: adding protein increases feelings of satiety which in turn help to reduce cravings and consumption of nutritionally poor foods that are more readily available.

Bottom line: eating more nutritionally dense and diverse foods makes us feel better, longer.

“Endorphin comes from the words ‘endogenous,’ which means within the body, and ‘morphine,’ an opiate pain reliever. Put together, that means endorphins are natural pain relievers. They are ‘feel-good’ chemicals because they can make you feel better and put you in a positive state of mind.” - Cleveland Clinic

Why exercise for a 6-pack when we can be exercising to feel good? While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with exercising to look good, this trainer (Clayton) would argue that the pursuit of looking good is, in actuality, a pursuit of FEELING good.

Looking good from exercise takes time, discipline, effort, and tenacity. Feeling good from exercise takes 5 minutes.
