When you don’t feel like doing your 5-minute warm-up on the rower, bike, or foam roller…

Remember: this was my warm-up before every wrestling practice—twice a day—and it still is for the wrestlers training today with @andchiperi.

And if you’re a female wrestler worried about getting a thick neck or “too much muscle”—don’t be.
It’s part of building the strength you need to compete at your best.
I wish someone had told me that 25 years ago.

If you’re serious about performance, aesthetics come last.

Train like an athlete.
Warm up like one. 🏆

“The only way to get better is by putting in the reps—because work works.”

A little inspiration for the week ahead from Arnold’s Pump Club @schwarzenegger.

This reminds me of that summer when @marytabaie and I did pull-ups and push-ups every day—five days a week, for an entire month. And guess what? We got stronger. Our push-up and pull-up numbers went up, and our technique improved too.

So if you want to get better at something—inside or outside the gym—get the reps in. That’s how progress happens.

Busy? Traveling? Short on time?

If you’ve got one dumbbell and the will to move—this is for you.

NO EXCUSES 🗽

You can do workout anywhere. Repeat the program for 3 to 6 weeks, and adjust reps and weights to your level. The videos don’t have cues (yet), but they’ll only get better from here.

Head to the link to grab your FREE “1 DB FULL-BODY PROGRAM.”

P.s. Between training clients and parenting, finding time to create content is tough—but it feels great to have it done.

Not seeing glute gains? 🍑

Here’s why:

1. Not lifting heavy enough
2. Not training them directly/frequently
3. Poor form or half reps

NOT SO Quick fixes:

✔️ Focus on mind-muscle connection
✔️ Eat + Sleep (rest to grow)
✔️ Pick a heavier weight

OR get a trainer to help you. 🙌🏻

3 Reasons TO & NOT to STRETCH::

☀️ 1. Calms the Nervous System
Taking 3–5 deep breaths in each stretch helps activate your parasympathetic system (rest + recover), reducing stress and anxiety.

🧘‍♀️ 2. Deepens Body Awareness
Slowing down and tuning into your breath while you stretch helps you reconnect to your body, release tension, and move with more intention.

🦵 3. Improves Flexibility & Mobility
Breathwork helps your muscles relax more fully into a stretch—allowing for a greater range of motion over time without forcing it.

✨ Pro tip: Breathe into the tightness. Let your exhale guide the release.

💔 Stretching is great—but it’s not always the right choice. Here’s when to hold off:

🚫 1. You’re Cold or Not Warmed Up
Stretching cold muscles can increase the risk of strains. Start with gentle movement or dynamic mobility to prep your body first.

⚠️ 2. You’re Injured or in Acute Pain
Stretching through sharp pain or injury can worsen the issue. Pain is a cue to pause and protect—not push.

🍼 3. You’re Postpartum or Have Hypermobility
If your joints are already overly mobile (like many postpartum bodies or those with hypermobility), stretching can create more instability. Focus on stability and strength work first to support your body.

💡 Stretch smart, not just often.

🔥 1DB Leg Burner

If I wanted to exhaust my legs I would do this Triset. All you need is one dumbbell, 12 reps per exercise, and 3–5 sets.

1. DB Goblet Squats - focus on control on the way down and power on the way up to fire up your quads and glutes.

2. Single DB Swings - this is all about the hip hinge— not a squat!

3. DB Deadlift Jumps - keep your weight in the heels to feel the glutes or on the ball of your feet for more quad burn.

Good Luck 🙌🏻

HIP THRUST MISTAKE 🚨

One of the most common compensations I see during hip thrusts is rib flaring and spinal extension—basically relaxing the spine and pushing the ribs up instead of driving through the hips.⁣
⁣
When this happens, the work shifts away from your glutes and into your lower back. Not only is it less effective, it can also lead to back tightness and rib flaring over time.⁣
⁣
✅ Keep your ribs stacked over your pelvis.
✅ Brace your core.
✅ Drive through your heels.
✅ Think “long spine” at the top, not “arched back.”
⁣
Slow down, reset, and make every rep count. Quality matters.

Are you getting in your weekly exercise?

The goal is 2–3 hours of strength training and 2 to 2.5 hours of cardio each week.

If cardio and lifting heavy feel a little intimidating, just focusing on moving and doing what you can is an awesome place to start.

These are 3 exercises I’ve been doing 3 times a week to work on strength, balance, and recovery ��— I hope you give them a try.

Another great experience at @mbscofficial this year.

My top 3 takeaways are:

1. Drink more water (+fibre)
2. Prioritize calf training
3. Plan low risk high reward programs

I could’ve listened to @davidgreyrehab talk for 2 days straight.

A few of my meals from last week. 🍴

The other night, I noticed my salmon didn’t turn out quite as tasty as usual… which actually led me to eat less.

Funny how that works, right?

It got me thinking—of course we all want to make delicious meals, but there’s a sweet spot. If food tastes too good, it can be easy to overeat. 😅

At the end of the day, food is fuel—energy for the body. I absolutely eat for pleasure too, but staying mindful of it helps keep those sneaky extra pounds from creeping in. 💭✨

Take your rest day. 💫

If your body feels tired, rest.

I didn’t — and it messed up my entire week.

My workout week usually starts on Tuesday (I train Saturdays, run on Sundays, and rest on Mondays).

But this Monday the weather was too nice… so I worked out.

That small shift threw everything off.

🗓️ Tuesday, I wasn’t fully recovered and couldn’t lift as heavy as I planned.

🗓️ Wednesday, I trained core thinking it was “light” enough to count as rest (it wasn’t).

🗓️ Thursday, I was sore from the core work and couldn’t squat heavy.

🗓️ Today, Friday, I should’ve rested, but I did the above workout plus a bike warm up to “finish the week strong.”

It wasn’t smart. I didn’t let my body recover. And honestly, the whole week felt like I was just dragging through it.

Lesson: Just because you can move doesn’t mean you should.

So tomorrow, I’m choosing rest.
And a chocolate croissant. 🥐

Why I Don’t Do Cheat Days 🍪

I don’t believe in “cheat days” because I don’t see food as something to cheat on.

Food is energy—fuel for our body and cells.

There’s high-quality food (from plants, trees & animals) and low-quality foods (from packages that don’t expire for years).

I choose to eat as fresh and natural as possible (foods that expire), while still enjoying sweets.

What matters most is what we eat on a consistent basis . #whatareyoumadeof 🌱

If you would like to eat better without feeling restricted. Start by focusing on adding high-quality foods rather than cutting things out.

Build your meals around:

✅ A protein source (meat, eggs, fish, legumes)

✅ A carbohydrate that fuels you (potatoes, fruit, whole grains)

✅ Something green (leafy greens, cruciferous veggies)

✅ Healthy fats (avocado, walnuts, olive oil)

✅ Something you truly enjoy (like dark chocolate or buttered toast) 🧁

Nourish your body, enjoy your food, and don’t overthinking “cheat days. 🏆

Here are 3 reasons why I love training outdoors:

☀️ Fresh Air & Natural Light – More oxygen means better energy and endurance. Plus, sunlight provides vitamin D, essential for bone health and immune function.

🏆 Mental Health Boost – Being outside helps lower stress and improve mood by reducing cortisol levels. A natural setting also promotes mindfulness and eases anxiety.

💪🏻 Increased Motivation & Enjoyment – A change of scenery keeps workouts exciting and helps break the monotony.

Set yourself up for success this week!

Stock your fridge with enough ingredients for at least three days' worth of meals—dinners, breakfasts, and lunches—so making healthy choices is easy.

Here’s what’s on my menu this week:

🥘 Dinners – White chicken chili, steak with baked potatoes & salad, chicken noodle soup, and ginger-baked salmon with steamed broccoli & farro.

🍳 Breakfasts – Cottage cheese, yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, and walnuts.

🥚 Lunch – Eggs and leftovers. Simple and satisfying.

🍞 Desserts – Bread with butter & jelly, dates with cashews, and two-ingredient chocolate milk.

I try to grocery shop every 3 to 4 days, but let’s be honest—I end up going more often than planned! Anyone else? 😅

Free Your Traps!

Want to build a stronger, more defined back?

It all starts with learning how to properly engage your scapulae. Retracting (pulling them back) and depressing (pulling them down) your shoulder blades—without letting your shoulders shrug—helps activate the right muscles, prevents compensations, and protects your shoulders.

Master this, and you’ll lift more, move better, and stay injury-free! 🏆

Unlock Your Spine! 🌀🔥

Sitting all day? Your thoracic spine NEEDS rotation!

Lack of movement = stiffness, discomfort & poor mobility. Add these banded rotations to:

✅ Restore movement
✅ Reduce stiffness & pain
✅ Boost performance & core activation

A few reps can make a huge difference! Try these before workouts or as a mid-day reset.

Your spine will thank you! 🙌

Experiencing young girls cheering for strength is something truly special. 💜

Their energy and excitement made me so happy, but what made it even better was watching each of them step up to try a pull-up themselves. I showed them how to support one another, and their mix of hesitation and willingness to try was just empowering. I wish I had left my phone recording to capture the moment. 🤩

Never Skip a Warm-Up 🔥

A warm-up isn’t optional—it’s the key to getting the most out of your workout. Here’s why:

Boosts Performance – prepares your muscles and nervous system to lift heavier and move better.

Improves Range of Motion – helps you move more efficiently and with better form.

Reduces Injury Risk – warms up your joints and muscles to prevent strains and tweaks.

Bonus: Burns extra calories—especially helpful if you have a desk job.

How to Warm Up:

Choose one of these simple methods based on your workout:

✅ 5 min light cardio + foam rolling
✅ 3 sets of 3 easy functional exercises
✅ Foam rolling + 1–3 warm-up sets before lifting heavier weights

Here’s my warm up from yesterday’s workout: TRX Face Pulls, SL Box Jumps and a Banded Dead Bug variation.

P.s. for the love of God, do NOT use the sauna as a warm-up alternative. #gymgoer

Are you letting your diagnosis define your story?

When I started training @marytabaie five years ago, she told me she couldn’t lose the weight she had gained since being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s—no matter what she did, it just wouldn’t go away. I was confident we could change that story.

A little belief, hard work, and a few pounds of muscle later, the “impossible” became possible. 💪🏻

Since then, I’ve learned that we shouldn’t let anyone—including doctors—set limits on what we can achieve. 🏋️‍♀️

Should You Work Out on Vacation? 🏝️

When clients ask about exercising on vacation, my advice is simple—don’t stress about it. Focus on staying active, eating well, and enjoying the trip. If there’s time for a workout, great, if not, take the time to reset.

You might be surprised but I follow the same approach. Whether I’m traveling for family, work, or rest, I stay as active as possible but don’t make training my priority. It helps me relax and get right back into it when I return.

While in Miami this weekend, I had no excuse not to try the free “Muscle Beach” gym during our walk. It was hot and toasty, but it was fun to try something different. 💪🏻🏝️

Worried that lifting heavy will make you bulky?

The truth is, building a lot of muscle is much harder than people think—your diet and genetics play a huge role. My arms have always been naturally muscular, but my legs, on the other hand, have always looked smaller. I’ve spent the past five years trying to build bigger legs, and while I’ve added muscle, they still don’t look as muscular as I’d like.

So if you’re worried about getting “too bulky,” don’t be. Strength training will make you stronger, more confident, and more athletic, but significant muscle growth takes much more than just lifting heavy.

Goodbye Leg Days 🫶

I tried adding a leg day to my routine, but I’m going back to full-body workouts. One leg day leaves me too sore and out of training for two days.

Between coaching clients all day, wrestling, and parenting, the last thing I need is to feel sore and low on energy.

Whenever I get too ambitious with my workouts, I have to remind myself of my goals. I’m not a competitor, a bodybuilder or a powerlifter—I’m a coach helping people build healthier, stronger lives for the long haul.

One mistake I notice people make when starting their fitness journey is buying all the supplements available, promising “quick fixes.”

💊 Before you start supplementing with protein powder, eat real protein from whole foods.

🥦 Before you buy all the antioxidants available, start eating more fresh fruits and veggies.

💪🏻Before you buy energy-promising foods and drinks, get more active.

Supplements have their place, but they should complement a well-rounded diet and lifestyle, unless you are a pro athlete or have health conditions that require you to take them.

Just kidding,

I didn’t completely ditch bench-assisted rows, but I’ve started incorporating more unassisted rows into my routine as well as my clients’ programs.

Bench-assisted rows are great for both beginner and advanced lifters. However, they shouldn’t be relied on solely for building strength, as the bench provides support, reducing the engagement of the core and spine.

Incorporating unassisted rows helps develop overall stability and strength while still targeting the back effectively.

And, if you are a #wrestler reading this, train the unassisted rows to improve your stance so you don’t gas out 2 minutes into your match. 😉

Everyone starts somewhere. 💫

I hardly recognize the 2017 version of myself on the right. At the time, I was one year postpartum, running a lot, lifting weights here and there, and—if I’m being honest—probably eating far too little.

My relationship with fitness has changed so much over the years. But one thing has always been certain: fitness is, and always will be, a part of who I am. I’ve always loved to move.

I went from being a competitive freestyle wrestler on the Moldovan National Team to living on several continents, completely redefining not only fitness but also myself…

If you’re on your own journey, know this: progress doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be consistent. Keep moving forward. 💪🏻❤️

Take Better Care of Yourself 🫶

My father’s advice initially puzzled me—I thought I was already taking care of myself by exercising and eating healthy.

But what he truly meant was something deeper: to take time for myself, to slow down, and to rest.

I now see his advice as a reminder to pause and do something soothing, rather than constantly pushing myself in workouts or daily life.

I’m deeply thankful for the people in my life who have helped me do so—you know who you are.

How are you going to take better care of yourself in 2025?

Less is More 💫

Don’t let lack of time stop you from getting a workout in. Select one or two exercises to challenge yourself with and call it a day. You don’t need to know all the variations of pushups, pull-ups or lunges to get a great workout in. Keep it simple master the ones you already know. Challenge yourself no matter the exercise selection, 30min is better than zero. Get up from your desk and walk a lap around your neighborhood, why wait? 🍎

Training made simple…

No, we don’t need fancier exercises to get leaner or stronger. No, we don’t need fancy machines or expensive gym memberships to achieve our health goals. Don’t worry about not having time to exercise or knowing how to. Use what you have, learn one exercise, add more steps to your day, get up more often from your desk, eat a little better, take another walk. Movement should be made simple and enjoyable. 🙌🏻

Exercise Snacks for Busy Schedules 🍴

Put the fork down and let’s get a quick workout in.

As a parent, I hear you when work or kids activities get in the way of your fitness. I’ve been exercise snacking myself for the past 2 weeks.

My mantra has been, do something everyday day than nothing. 🫶 My go to is usually a single leg exercise, a 1 arm row, a pushup and a VSit variation. I’m always happier after a short workout than delving in regret of not doing anything.

If going to the gym is an obstacle, investing in a couple dumbbells at home and a bench will definitely come in handy.🙌🏻 #training #fitnessmotivation #strongwomen #parentlife #fitmom #fullbodyworkout #exerciseroutine #fittips
