Im Jordan, a Registered Nutrition & Dietetic Technician through the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, a Certified Personal Trainer & Health Coach. I am not your typical trainer who uses moves and routines passed down through the ages, or whatever happens to sound good at the time. I have spent countless hours researching new techniques, routines, different movements and different philosophies whic

h result in maximum results, and unmistakable gains to strength, conditioning, stamina, and all around mental fortitude. A quote from Dan Gable says: “After wrestling, everything else comes easy.” That may be true, but my workouts are definitely far from easy. I workout differently, and I get different results. You bet, but are you really looking for “easy”? I want to make my life better. Hopefully, that is the same reason you are reading this Bio right now. Let’s take this journey together.

1,200 calories is not sustainable.

Our bodies are not meant to run off 1,200 kcals/day.

For majority of people, our metabolic rate alone requires 1,400+ calories. This means that we need 1,400 calories to just function (think: brain function, digestion, breathing but WITHOUT any form of additional movement).

Now, if we want to add the goal of building muscle, we ideally want to be sure that we are in a caloric surplus (or you will make building muscle way harder than what it is).

So, ditch the low calories. Fuel your body. Give it what it needs. & see what happens to your body composition.

When we look at nutrition, there is one thing that many forget to think about - & in my opinion it's one of the most essential parts to it.

We need to make sure whatever we're doing is sustainable long term. If not, you're setting yourself up to fail.

Is it sustainable to be on a restrictive eating pattern long term? Probably not.

Instead of thinking of ways we can restrict, we should think about small changes we can make to our current routine to be more successful. Things I like to consider:
🌟 Protein intake- Increasing protein not only helps with muscle building & recovery, but it also promotes satiety (AKA feeling fuller longer).
🌟 Have we eaten any fiber today? Many of us lack the right amount of fiber in our diets. Simply emphasizing this a little more with help with digestion & keeping us feeling fuller longer.
🌟 Are we eating balanced meals? Consuming balanced meals is going to benefit the body in probably every way you can think of.

Come get ready to hit some squats with me! ❤️‍🔥

The one part of the workout most people neglect, is prepping the body. Which, is pretty crazy considering it can be one of the most vital parts.

A few things I like to focus on when warming up the legs:
❤️‍🔥 Movement through all parts of the spine. The spine takes a ton of load when hitting squats, so it’s important to make sure she is ready to go.
❤️‍🔥 Hips. This is a preference, but my grandma hips are always super tight & refuse to let me squat without warming them up.
❤️‍🔥 Similar movements but body weight. Get the body ready to go without the load.

Here are some of my favs leg warm ups ⬆️

If I was working towards any goal, here's a few changes I would make:

🌟 Prioritize the protein. Not only for muscle growth. But because protein is the moist satiating macronutrient. Meaning, it helps to keep us feeling fuller longer.
🌟 Be sure your incorporating progressive overload with your lifts. What does this look like? This looks like: increasing weight, increasing reps, adding tempo reps or focusing on the eccentric.
🌟 1,200 calories? That's old school. Give your body what it needs. Giving your body the energy & resources its need will likely put you closer to your goals.
🌟 Don't just move during your workouts. We generally live pretty sedentary lifestyle. Make movement intentional.
🌟 Consistency is key. Stay consistent. Understand that progress unfortunately does not happen overnight. But, if you stay consistent, you will be successful.

Things that I don’t let define my workouts:

🔘How much I sweat - Just because you sweat more one workout does not necessarily make it a better workout.
🔘The number of exercises completed- you have a GREAT workout & only get 4 lifts in.
🔘The length of my session- sometimes working out for an hour in unrealistic with life. But the good thing is you can get a good workout in & only workout for 30-45minutes.
🔘Soreness post workout- Just because your sore does not mean your workout is better than one that you weren’t sore after.

Instead of focusing on things like these, here’s what I let define my workouts:
🔅How my body is feeling- you don’t go into every session feeling 100%. I take into consideration how I’m feeling & adjust my workouts as needed.
🔅Progressive overload- when planning I try to make sure that my weight and/or reps are always increasing.
🔅Energy levels- some days the energy just isn’t there. & that’s okay. On days like these I might defer legs or a long run & go for an upper body lift since it takes less out of you.

Let's chat about weight fluctuations. Many times we can hop on the scale see fluctuations, which depending on the direction it's moving can be discouraging. Here's why you should not freak...

There are many factors that play a role in weight. What we eat, drink, our stress levels, hormones, our workouts, etc. These factors cause us to see temporary shifts in weight. It's not uncommon for us to see up to a 5lb. fluctuation.

What is the one way you can guarantee that your weight loss is successful? ➡ Make sure you are in a caloric deficit. If a caloric deficit is not in place, you will not see actual fat loss.
