The direction most women forget to train & 40g Protein Orange Chicken (Instant Pot)


Hi Fabulous Friends!

Most workout programs train strength in the forward and backward plane of motion...

Squats. Lunges. Deadlifts.... are all excellent BUT

... our bodies operate in various directions at a thousand different angles.

We step sideways to catch our balance.

We twist to grab laundry

We balance on one foot while carrying groceries.

If we don’t train those directions… we lose it and injury occurs.

That’s when we start saying:

“Why does my back and neck feel stiff?”
“Why do I feel unstable?”

The missing piece is lateral and rotational strength.

Side-to-side movement.
Across-the-body movement.

Inside our training community we’ve been sprinkling a little more of this into workouts lately.

Simple moves to try this weekend:

Lateral (side-to-side)
• Cossack squat
• Banded lateral walks

Rotational (across the body)
• Curtsy lunges

Even a few sets per week can wake up muscles and joints that have started to go dormant.

When we train proactively now, we’re investing in a body that pays us back later.

Future you will thank you for saving her massive amounts of time, energy, and heartache.

Switching gears now to FUEL...
As promised ... a one pot 40g Protein (per serving) Healthy Orange Chicken recipe to add to your arsenal!

Cheers to thriving together,

Hi Fabulous Friends. A little practical wisdom as we head into the Lunar New Year. 🐎 🐎 What’s the secret to remaining consistent? It’s not willpower, not discipline, nor “grind harder.” It’s being flexible.Flexibility preserves a sense of control. It removes the all-or-nothing pressure and replaces it with options. On high-friction days — low sleep, long work hours, kid chaos, decision fatigue — don’t quit. Pivot. 💥 I’ve been experimenting with what James Clear calls “proactive laziness” in...
