HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY @mcraynor_rd ! 🤍 I’d do anything to be able to go back and relive our wedding day every year on November 9th forever, it will always be the best day of my life. Year 2 was the year we became homeowners together and business partners - two things we’d been dreaming of basically since we met - and it has been so special! Thank you for always supporting my dreams, bringing me coffee first thing in the morning, helping me fuel my running goals, loving our doodle so well, setting big goals with me, and being my best friend. Things I learned about you this year: you are a handy man, rocking grill master, and excellent man to own a home with. As @kyleagentry said so well, here’s to many more good decisions together! I love you! 🎥: @silverfoxproductions_us

⚡️Movement goal edition! ⚡️ If you’re new to my corner of the internet, welcome! These coffee chat pep talks are where I take a few mins to dive into any common questions I get about nutrition and fitness and/or provide you with a quick little motivation boost to take action toward your goals today!! In today’s pep talk I’m diving into the key 🔑 takeaways from my May Movement goals! If YOU have a movement goal you’ve been struggling to meet (or maybe you’re crushing it and want to keep going) this one is for YOU!! Give it a listen and then I want to know - what movement goals are you working on this summer?? 👇👇👇

This weeks coffee chat pep talk is alll about workout intensity! 🥵 Need the spark notes? 👇 Don’t underestimate the power of low intensity workouts. Not every workout you do should be the hardest workout you’ve ever done! (That’s really it, that’s the pep talk) 😂 If we go into every workout we ever do and plan to give it 100% of our max effort - it’s unlikely we are ever getting to max effort in any of those workouts 🤯 Our body doesn’t have time to rest and recover in between them to give our max effort in any of them! This is great news - if you aren’t feeling up to a high intensity workout every workout - you can take it easy! 🙌 A walk, a low impact strength or body weight session, yoga, foam rolling, cleaning - they are impactful. So if you are feeling like workouts have to leave you destroyed to be impactful - here’s your reminder that low intensity workouts are key 🔑 to allowing us to really show up for those high intensity ones. ✨ . . . #workouttips #trainingtips #runningtips #marathontrainingtips #peptalk #workoutintensity #lowimpactmovement #personaltrainerraleigh #weeklypeptalk #workoutintensitymatters #fitnesstip

In today’s non coffee chat pep talk I’m sharing two ✌️of my favorite reminders to keep in mind when feeling less than motivated to get moving. Let me know if they get you moving in the comments! 💫

Back with another Coffee Chat Pep Talk and sharing my top 5 tips for starting AND sticking with a movement routine for the long haul ✨ The short version is below 👇 but grab your coffee & give this a full listen for all the details 😊 1) Become aware of when you can CONSISTENTLY get in movement + when you have the most energy to 2) Find accountability buddies! (Virtual or IRL) 3) Keep your routine varied and don’t overdo it 4) Don’t forget about non traditional movement! 5) Listen to your body! ❤️ Do you have another key 🔑 I didn’t include?? Drop it in the comments!

In today’s Coffee Chat Pep Talk I’m talking ALLLLLL about ✨ small wins ✨ and starting small when it comes to making changes to your eating habits + nutrition. What is a small win? It’s when you go from meditating 0 mornings per week to 1-2 in a week. It’s when you go from not moving much at all to taking a lap around your space or building every time you get up to go to the bathroom. It’s when you want to “eat healthier” so you add a new vegetable to a dinner this week. Small changes add up, they stick, they allow us to celebrate an achievement a long the way to our big goals. Give it a listen and let me know if you’re celebrating a small win this week!! 👇

A healthy diet for you includes your favorite foods👏👏👏 That’s really the summary of this second coffee chat pep talk 😂 I’m so passionate about this one y’all!! Give it a listen and let me know - what’s one food or category of food that is a must have in your house? For me, it’s something chocolate - usually chocolate chip cookies 🍪

This video contains modifications for lowering intensity of the 🔥🔥🔥 Upper Body + Core Workout I posted on my feed yesterday. If you want to give the workout a try but need to take it down a notch for any reason - these mods are for YOU! Enjoy + let me know if you give it a try! 💫

👋 grab your afternoon coffee, pop your headphones in and join me for a little action precedes motivation pep talk! The gist of it: be easy on yourself when I comes to “feeling motivated” and remember - action toward our goals typically comes BEFORE we feel the most motivated, not AFTER we feel motivated. 💫 So if you aren’t feeling particularly motivated - take the first step and see how you feel!! 😊

One of my go to total body circuits 👉 This total body workout can be done from home (or anywhere) with just a pair of dumbbells and some space! No dumbbells? No worries! Soup cans or water bottles are great for a light options, or any weighted objects you have at home, get creative and get your sweat on with me! 💦

A quick 35-45 min total body workout! All you need is some space, a wall, and a weighted object or objects 💪

A quick, do it at home, low impact total body strength workout! 💪 This one is neighbor friendly if you live in an apartment (as long as you don’t crank your tunes too loud. 😏) All you need is a mat + weighted object (or dumbbells) Enjoy & let me know if you give it a try!✨
