Today Inspired to pull heavy I started with wide pull ups. They are one of the hardest pulling exercises to do especially for women. This is a multi-joint compound movement that will work almost all the muscles in your back and biceps. I struggle to get my chest to the bar but I try every time with everything I have in me ( and my grip). Add this to your work out routine! If you have any questions please ask.
I went to the Body Building show this past weekend! I was over whelmed with all the great competitors. The over 40 years old female class in figure was breath taking. So many women in there 40’s with new goals to compete and continue to lift heavy weight for fun and motivation to stay in the gym. I think I may have a new goal myself for next year. Over all the years in training, I realize just exactly how important It is to have a goal. No matter how big or small Just make one now!
Come join me at Lucy Activewear Friday July 11th. . I am bringing my favorite recipes and giving away 2 personal training sessions. Stop by and say hi!

Roll it into small balls on wax paper. Recipe makes 12‐15 balls. Can freeze for several days.
NOTE: If the mixture is not moist enough to form a ball add a few drops of water to mixture.
Substitution ideas can abound for just about any of these ingredients! Feel free to substitute in your favorite nut butter (almond butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.) for the peanut butter. And you could also add in some wheat germ or chia seeds in place of some or all of the flax-seed. I would caution, though, against substituting agave nectar for the honey, as the honey’s thickness helps hold mix together.
Some other fun substitutions for the chocolate chips (or an addition to them) could include:
Thrive, Show up & Participate and see the changes happen!
A quick article and reminder Happy Spring and April fools!
Why should anyone strive to be more fully involved in his or her life? Well, for starters, the more you actively participate in your life with enthusiasm, the more youthful, vital energy will infuse your body. It is as if your inner child is so excited to see what the next day brings that he or she wakes you up bursting with joy and thrilled to be alive.
Exercise and consistency pay off! Be strong it is a wonderful feeling to have in your body! And it’s good for it, too. Your immune system will be hardier, your defenses stronger and your ability to bounce back from illness or injury vastly improved.
People love to be around those who are passionate and enthusiastic, so your social life may improve considerably. But best of all, you will get to enjoy the life you have created, and what could be more fun than that?
Keep Smiling!
