A 40-day fat loss phase didn’t build this body… The mini-SHRED I did to prep for this photoshoot revealed what years of lifting, eating with intention, and moving through different phases had already built. (I know the internet likes to make us think that there are shortcuts… nope, no shortcuts

There was a point when I could see where things were heading if I just kept doing what I had always done. I didn’t like how I felt. I didn’t like how I looked. And I wasn’t willing to accept the narrative of “I guess this is just what happens…” Um, no. Bye. There’s a difference between acc

running zoomies are totally a thing, right!?😜 It’s been a hot minute since I hit a 40-mile week (almost three months since my last marathon training block), so this felt amazing! What is your version of post-workout crazy vibes?🤣 #happyrunner #runstreak #runnerproblems #veganrunner

You don’t need to make an already challenging process harder by doing it alone. A fat loss phase means spending a period of time in a calorie deficit (less energy in than is going out), and as you get deeper into that phase, there may be days when staying committed simply requires more effort.

📽️ from a group coaching call inside @milesmusclesmagic One thing my clients always hear me say is… You don’t need to explain or justify your goals. You are allowed to want the abs. The smaller waist, the glowing skin, the stronger body, the lifted booty, the faster run time, the better sl

Three things I wish every person who feels intimidated walking into a gym knew: 1. Nobody is paying as much attention to you as you think. And anyone seriously working out definitely doesn’t have the energy to judge you. 😂 2. You’re going to feel lost at first. That doesn’t mean you don’t belon

Working hard and building lifelong results does not require carrying everything yourself (This came from a coaching call inside @milesmusclesmagic) Sometimes the most useful change is not adding another task. It is getting honest about what your current environment is asking from you… and whethe

This week felt BIG. Not necessarily because of one massive thing that happened, but sometimes I’m able to zoom out far enough to see that what I’m doing right now is exactly what I need to be doing… even though it sucks sometimes. I know I’ll look back on this time years from now (at all of

Reason 1,111 to get out there and run: the way you feel afterward. ✨ I started this five-miler before sunrise and finished with a clearer head, a lighter heart (I run to clear the rage, so this is a big one for me😜), and the feeling that I got to watch the whole world wake up around me. You m

At some point, we have to stop and ask ourselves the uncomfortable question… 🫣 Is this ACTUALLY going to get me where I say I want to go? Because randomness feels like action. Trying another workout, saving another post, changing the plan, starting something new... we’re doing *something.* Bu

👏🏼 One rescheduled week doesn’t erase years of work. But the thing is, the “years of work (a.k.a. the foundation)” actually needs to be created! In episode 05 of the vlog I share how I only lifted once during the week (the run streak continued, obviously!) Would I recommend that during a fat los

📽️ from a group coaching call inside @Miles Muscles Magic So many of us stay in situations that are not terrible… they are “fine,” “manageable,” and the really big one… “familiar.” But ‘fine’ can become a place you hide when you know something needs to change. NOT SETTLING does not mean e

you need to hear this🫶🏼 First, social media gave us information overload. We had access to what every influencer was doing, saved 47 workout videos, collected endless hacks, and got so overwhelmed that most people never actually did any of it. Now, tools like ChatGPT and Claude can help us pe

When your body starts changing, especially in perimenopause, it is easy to assume you need a more aggressive solution. A stricter diet. A new supplement. Another protocol. Something that feels more advanced than what you have already tried. ❌ But shiny does not mean effective. Most women d

You can see my perfectly imperfect week in episode 05 of the vlog, live on YouTube.💛 Think about your fitness journey, or body, like building a house. Once the house is built, you can leave for a trip, have a crazy weekend, come home and settle right back in. Maybe you need to unpack, do some

Quick run (or just life!) check: How are you breathing?🏃🏽‍♀️ Up into your chest like your breath is about to fly out the top of your head? 😮‍💨 Or down into your belly where it can actually support you? Drop your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and breathe down. It’s a small adjustment but i

It really IS that deep. Call it dramatic or whatever you want, but the ones who get it, will get it🥰 (clip pulled from a group coaching call inside @milesmusclesmagic) 💥 The work you do in fitness has a way of exposing where else you have been settling. You start keeping promises to yourse

Okay, this week made absolutely no sense on paper😂 I ate cake, chips, pancakes, lattes, I modified multiple workouts, I only lifted once, and basically did a whole bunch of things I wasn’t “supposed” to do during a fat loss phase. AND THEN, at the end of the week I realized I LOST 6lbs. In le

Not gonna’ lie, I wanted to cry when I saw the results from my recent DEXA scan. 🥹 Proof that the work (the ugly, unsexy, consistent work) is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do… More muscle, less fat. My first thought was ‘okay guuuuurl I see you!’ And my second thought, immediatel
