Throughout the stay at home order, I, like many others in our community, have been following along at home with the No Boundaries can-be-done-anywhere GPP programming as well as our real at-home strength program: Homegrown. This training has brought with it expected challenges: where to train, when to train, finding the accountability to train, etc., and some unexpected challenges as well, such as how to continue to train when there’s a live gnat buzzing around your sinuses.
Living on the second floor of my complex, I’ve found myself completing most of my training in the parking lot so as not to make mortal enemies with my downstairs neighbor. In addition to the occasional stran...

Short and sweet today…
The doors are open.
A few things to remember.
Register for classes at the beginning of the week, this is a must.
Check the blog for updates and important information.
If you are sick...stay home.
Clean your workspace and equipment.
Wash your hands when you arrive and before you leave.
Respect one another, not everyone is in the same headspace yet.
Work for it like you mean it.
See you out there. #developyourself

As we begin to return to the on-site application of our fitness practice it is important that we reset the baseline. Remember this, if you want the results of tomorrow you will need a snapshot of the results you can achieve today. If you’ve been able to keep up with your training you’ll go really fast. If you’ve been challenged to maintain your fitness practice, you’ll go slower. Your results have already been earned at this point, so let’s see what they are and move forward with intention.
See you out there. #developyourself

My husband has a favorite saying these days: “Don’t ‘should’ all over.”
He says it to me when I obsess over how much the baby’s sleeping, and whether or not it’s too early for him to be on a routine. He says it to me when I stare in dismay at the unmade bed, or the overflowing sink, or the piles of laundry. And he reminds me of it whenever I feel inadequate and overwhelmed by the task of being a mother, a wife, a teacher, and a human being.
He’s not trying to give me an out, a way to just let it all go and stop trying. Instead, it’s an encouragement to relinquish my death-grip on my vision of “the way things ought to be.” My ...

I cannot recall feeling anything other than dread and uncertainty any time I’ve been asked the proverbial “where do you see yourself in five/ten/twenty years?” question. For one, I’ve never been the type that’s had my whole career planned out since the age of 10, and so this question shines a bright light on the uncomfortable dark spot of my own uncertainty. Second, whatever I said, I knew I’d probably be way off the mark, so what was the point?
It should be no surprise that a growth-minded approach to this question frames it in a much more productive light than my past discomfort-driven avoidance and dread.
Rather than trying to imagine what city you&rsq...

If you keep your eyes open wide enough, life has a way of sending poignant reminders at just the right time. The reminder, from where I’m sitting, is that you’re not doing yourself or the world any favors by operating from a place that makes it all about you. We tend to operate from our short-sighted, tunnel-visioned lizard brain a bit too often, and this only sets up a series of failure dominoes for us to set off. What’s most curious is that what sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom is our capacity to think and plan ahead, consider concepts abstractly, and consider the past and integrate it into present and future. Have you ever seen a giraffe get involve...

During the first month of the “stay at home” order, we launched our first-ever online-only program, HOMEGROWN. The program is available to anyone with an internet connection and the motivation to put in the work. With the idea of fitness changing so rapidly, we decided to provide an option that everyone can participate in.
HOMEGROWN brings strength & conditioning to your home and takes advantage of one of the best training tools available: the sandbag. No compromises or concessions here. Just pure, effective strength & conditioning. The sandbag allows our students to benefit from the experience of heavy loading and short duration efforts. HOMEGROWN was designed with the intention...

Here is a little something for you to think about while you’re out there. As we beginning making preparations to work on-site again I was left wondering what kind of shenanigans could we have expected if these two hopped in a car together and drove across the United States?
