Fit by Nature SLO

Always makes me happy to be on the trail with good friends. @sarahgregsimongraham rocked it up hazards (and down!) for the first time today! #qualitytime #friendtime #mountainbiking #fitbynatureslo

Zoe is flying in to stop the shot.

Come Fit Flow with me! Tuesday 9am @sloyogacenter What is Fit Flow? Functional Fitness Flow is a fusion of power yoga with functional fitness layered over it. In this class we train our bodies in a way that readies it for daily activities. These movements equip your body for the most important type of physical fitness, the kind that preps you for real-life and daily living. Most functional fitness contains multi joint movement patterns in all planes of movement. Think s...quatting, bending, lunging, pushing, pulling, twisting, lifting. It all comes down to moving and breathing, but don’t mistake that for boring! Come join me! #functionalfitness #poweryoga #fusion #yogaworkout #yogabutnotyoga #fitbynatureslo

It’s been over a month since I’ve been on my bike and this is how I feel to finally get back to it! Montaña de Oro showed off its natural beauty today after a gloomy weekend. I can’t believe this is home! #montanadeoro #naturalbeauty #mountainbiker #happyplace #fitbynatureslo #viewatthetop

It’s my new thing...workout in PJs and bare feet. I almost didn’t get out of bed for my workout but then when I gave myself permission to not change into workout clothes (cause, why? ) and just go straight into the ‘gym’ it was a game changer. Small mind shifts can have big impacts. And guess what?!?! Fighting through that road block was totally worth it. So happy to have gotten in my weights first thing so I could spend time later on my mountain bike! Yay me! #motivationishard #movemore #homeworkout #personaltrainer #wakeupworkout #fitbynatureslo

So many clients tell me how it can feel like so much work just to show up for a workout. In the end, the effort just to motivate is more than the workout itself. Guess what, me too. Some days are easier than others but it’s the effort put into motivating that seems to be a big road block. Don’t let that road block be an excuse, instead make your workout simple. Not a lot of equipment, find a workout online (I’ve got loads if you’re interested) so you don’t have to think... of it yourself. Depending on the workout, you don’t need special clothes or even shoes. I did my workout in my PJs today. And instead of focusing on breathing hard and getting your heart rate up, focus on mindful control of each move. Make it all about movement and not about burning a zillion calories or sweating buckets. Keep working through the road block and each time you do, you’ll solidify that feedback loop that the workout is worth the motivation effort. Every time. #motivationishardsometimes #motivatedmindset #keepitsimple #personaltrainer #weareallhuman #humanexperience #fitbynatureslo

Workouts, goal setting, accountability...let me help you find the best path to a healthier and happier you!

It’s self love month at Fit by Nature! Finds ways everyday to pause and enjoy the simple things in life.

These are both sets of my grandparents. They were BFFs and I just love everything about that. They had camper vans and drove all around the US and Mexico together. Happy hour was their favorite hour! #rolemodels #grandparents #bff #happyhour

Honing my sass. #itsinmyblood

It’s time to say good bye a little bit more. This house has a lifetime of memories. It’s hard to accept this will not be our gathering place anymore. So many memories: Easter hat parties, thanksgivings, Christmases and just an ordinary week day night. It was literally my home at one point. So many play dates with cousins and friends dressing up in prom dresses and costume jewelry. May I (card game) tournaments, tree climbing, running free through the orchards and root beer floats. My cousins and I grew up here. My grandmother was a collector, bordering on hoarder tendencies. So the task at hand is large. I’m here to help with a tiny slice of that. I’m glad I get to be here one more time and give gratitude to a space that has very much been a huge part of my life. Grandparents are such a gift. I’m so thankful I had mine as long as I did.

If you know me, you know I love running in the rain. Got my dose today. There’s basically a river running through town. As a bonus, I had a couple of impromptu dance party with friends through their windows as I ran by @peachfriedman @jaimeclewis #runningintherain #runrainorshine #atmosphericriver #rainrainpleasestay
