This week I discussed with my students what I believe to be one of the most important yet overlooked verses in the Bible - Genesis 2:25, “The lord God made man and placed him in the Garden to WORK it and to TAKE CARE OF IT.” 🌍 As stewards of this planet, we were given the wonderful opportunity to take care of this planet, it’s wild places, species, and resources - from the very beginning. And sometimes, I think it’s easy when we are moving through our busy schedules to forget just how much we need the services this planet provides us with. But did you know that the very air you just inhaled is created not only by plants - but largely by amazing little creatures in our oceans called diatoms that depend on nutrient inputs from weathered rocks to keep them alive? Or that predator and prey species - seemingly enemies from the outside - can actually challenge each other to coevolve in ways that benefit both species as well as their entire ecosystems? 🦁 🦒 You see, there is so much that nature can teach us, but not if we don’t take care of the land as we are called to. We focus on taking care of our hearts, on our relationships, and our jobs, but let’s not forget that we are also given the responsibility to take care of our very planet. It is just as much a part of our duty as loving our neighbors and putting our faith in Jesus is.
Core burner 🔥 I like to end my workouts with a little circuit like this. Go through each move for 30 seconds - repeat entire circuit 3xs! Happy Saturday friends! - crunch+leg lift to reach - plank + weighted row - side plank with torso rotation - cross body knee in + push up **trainer tip - go a little slower and controlled with these to really feel the burn! It’s not always about speed. Pay attention to your form and keep that core tight.

If you’re looking to add a little spice to any circuit, throw in ten of these per leg at the end. 💪🏼 The dynamic movement of a step up to a reverse lunge not only works the legs, but will also help to improve your balance, endurance, and overall mind-body connection. You gotta think when you move through this one! 👏🏼Drive up on the step with your weight in your heels and make sure that front knee stays behind the toe on the reverse lunge.😊 To modify based on your fitness level - add or take away step height and/or increase/decrease in weights size. Need some extra help?! Let’s set up a time to train so I can show you all the ropes ♥️💪🏼 DM me!
Does anyone else ever look out at nature and want to know everything? Or how we could possibly risk losing any of this planet’s precious species? Does it infuriate anyone else to think that the same ecosystem services we value are the same ones we often jeopardize? I am not perfect. I am guilty of not always making the most sustainable decisions, but what I am not guilty of is turning the other cheek. Or of pretending that nature will always rebound and that there will always be plenty to go around. So if you are feeling overwhelmed by the seemingly endless environmental issues we face - know this... That you - just as much as the world’s greatest leaders, humanitarians, athletes, or professors - have the ability to influence and create change. Changing just ONE small thing... taking just a little more pride in this planet... not pretending the problems don’t exist... viewing yourself as part of the solution... all of these acts make a difference. The animals, the wild places, and the community around you deserve this. We cannot live without the natural services this planet provides, it’s species, and without using the knowledge we have to better the world around us. We don’t have to be experts - we just have to care enough to know better - and do better.
Some Sunday sweat 💦 If you’re looking to tone up the legs and booty - DM me for my personal training packages 💪🏼I’ve got plenty to choose from - including 55 min full sessions and 30 minute half! With limited availability on M W and Fridays! I recommend going through three rounds of these moves, aiming for 10-12 reps each. Throw in 20 burpees at the end of each round to get that extra calorie blast. - banded glute bridges - kettlebell sumo squats (slow) - deadlifts - single leg raised sumo squat ** trainer tip - press outwards on the band the entire time during the glute bridge 💪🏼
