Had a newbie last night, and we spent 75 minutes going after EVERYTHING. 😂

She came in dealing with a LOT of pain and tension and had already tried just about everything. Body tempering was her last-ditch effort.

And honestly? She’s doing A LOT.

She lifts.
She does Pilates.
She’s a hairstylist.
She’s a mom of 2.

Her body is constantly working.

My goal for this first session wasn’t to just go in hard and “break up” every tight spot. It was to get her body to relax and feel safe enough to let go.

We used breathing, slower pressure, and isometric holds to help her downshift while we worked.

I could feel how much her body was resisting at first. When you’re constantly pushing, working, training, and taking care of everyone else, sometimes your body doesn’t know how to turn the volume down.

Sometimes the best thing we can do is stop forcing it and teach the body how to relax.

And THAT is where the real work can begin. 🤍

When you have 2 kids, a full-time job, side businesses, and approximately 47 things on your to-do list… 😂
Working out can’t always be an hour or two.

And honestly? The goal doesn’t always have to be building more muscle, hitting a PR, or having the “perfect” workout.

Sometimes the goal is to move your body, get your heart rate up, clear your head, and have a minute by yourself (even if that minute is you making a horrendous face during hip thrust)

I’ve shifted to 3–4 full-body days. Instead 4-5 lower/upper splits.

My new formula:
Spin Up → Strength → accessories → pump → core

Instead of leaving feeling exhausted and burnt out, I’m more energetic with a good pump and sweat!

Mobility Monday 🖤

Why does your squat feel… off?

I always thought my long legs/femurs were the reason behind my s**t form, but it was because I wasn’t actually working on the mobility required to perform a squat.

Before you start adding more weight, more reps, or blaming your anatomy 😂, take a look at the joints that need to contribute to the movement.

Your squat requires mobility through your ankles, hips, and thoracic spine, along with the strength and control to actually use that range.

If one area isn’t doing its job, another area may have to pick up the slack.

That’s why I love looking at the whole movement, not just the spot that feels restricted.

Sometimes you don’t need a better squat.

You need better mobility to support your squat.

Move better → load better → feel better.

3–5 minutes of sustained pressure
→ helps reduce that dense, “stuck” feeling
→ promotes circulation to the tissue
→ gives you a different stimulus than traditional massage

Body tempering = pressure with a purpose.

Do not recommend this exercise if you can’t afford some major DOMs.

I actually hate filming in gyms so I did this video for YOU guys, so even if one of you does it- it’s a win.

My gym actually got rid of the hack squat- I was devastated!! Tried finding it at others and finally iGYMia got it, along with like 7 other B***y Builder machines 🤗

Starting resistance is 105 pounds, so before trying this, make sure you have some quality lunge form with decent weight, would hate to blow out your knee cap 😬

IF you try it, please let me know (to justify this video) and hear how that glute pump went 🍑

(I was doing my afternoon stroll recording this audio so excuse the heavy breathing 😮‍💨 😂)

This new client had actually brought his son in last week. He’s a high school football player and has been feeling the effects of intense training.

He wanted some relief and got just that with his temper session, so much so he convinced his dad to try it out!

If you have a high school athlete struggling with recovery, have them try this out, and you might as well too 😉

If you book you+ one, you can get the second session for 15% off if done on the same day!

Mobility Monday 🖤

If you’re like me and sit at a desk all day, you probably need a little posture work.

So today’s Mobility Monday is all about thoracic mobility, improving your posture isn’t just about “sitting up straight.” Your upper back needs the ability to extend, rotate, and move well so your shoulders, neck, and spine don’t have to pick up the slack.

Here are a few of my personal favorites to open things up, get your spine moving, and undo some of that desk-day hunch.

These are also great drills for a warm up, especially if you intend to load the spine!

Movement. Breath. Nervous system. 🧠

Get curious about all three, build awareness, and start finding more control.

Stop trying to DO more, and start with noticing more.
