Your health is your wealth. That is the code that I live by. I grew up playing sports but it didn’t hit me until post college how important exercise and fitness was to not only my physical health but also my own mental well being. Becoming a certified personal trainer was one of the smartest most rewarding decisions of my life.  I am passionate about helping others move well and move often not to mention my ability to coach people on how to fall in love with cooking. I believe food is medicine and enjoy helping others discover their own unique way of incorporating good habits back into their life.  I see my work as an opportunity to inspire others to become a better version of themselves. I believe that you never stop learning which is why I put such a huge emphasis on continuing my education. I have experience with all types of people, some are just looking for more exercise, some want to lose fat, and some want to just be pain free and avoid injury. No matter what I try to bring my best foot forward each day to help my clients succeed with their goals.

I got a lot of feedback after highlighting this drill on my story the other day... seems you guys wanna know more: 🧐 This awesome drill to teaches clients full body tension! How do you get people to slow down and own that bottom position of a hinge? While their are other options this one is good for group classes and creating more interaction among students. #partnerworkout I almost always choose the @ultimatesandbag for creating optimal patterns in a loaded hinge for beginners. The neutral handles allows the client to create excellent tspine stability by offering the “rip the handles apart” cue Then adding the band pull by the partner cues them to keep the weight in close to the body=more lats!! as the partner moves into different angles and tugs the band the core has to react quickly to these new inputs for better stability or highlighting blindspots. Just another reason I ❤️DVRT training! 👏🏼🤗👏🏼 Want to learn more cool shit like this?

The max lunge from #dvrtfitness and @ultimatesandbag is one of our flagship drills! It can be tough to master if you don’t understand the prerequisites that are requires to perform it with proficiency. Take a look at two separate training sessions I did with a client last week. You can see how we stripped away complexity and try to build up from a stable foundation with Rita. This is just one concept we will be covering in my upcoming workshop on April 6th @impact_athletic_performance Registration 👆🏼link in bio👆🏼 . . . #3dstrength #athleteperformance #functionalfitness #coreworkout #gotglutes #sandbagtraining #legday #iowahawkeyes #muscatine #golfperformance #rotationalathletes #triplanarmovement #multiplanar #ultimatesandbagtraining #womenwholift #fitover40 #strongissexy #ladybadass

Here’s a little sample of an impromptu workout I did yesterday. My main focus was primarily lower body, however I wanted to make sure that I hit all three planes of motion. @ultimatesandbag Video 1️⃣The front loaded deficit split stance lunge was tough with my 55# strength bag So the reps were low , 5 to 6 per side #cns🔥 Video 2️⃣I wanted to be more dynamic using lateral stability and some rotation so I chose the shoveling drill with my light core bag for 30 seconds. Way harder than it looks to control acceleration and deceleration. Video 3️⃣ I transitioned the strength bag to the shoulder position for these rotational step ups that help recruit my obliques better. @impact_athletic_performance If you want to learn cool shit like this and how to coach your rotational athletes to use DVRT Fitness to enhance thier sport performance ——> come to my workshop in Iowa on April 6 👆🏼link in bio👆🏼 . . . #functionalfitness #legday #sandbagtraining #golfperformance #iowagolf #iowahawkeyes #muscatineiowa #unconventionalathlete #3dstrength #gotglutes #dvrtfitness #rotationalathlete #symetratour #pga #lpga #scottsdalegolf #strenghthcoach #mastertrainer
