Is self-care complete bullshit?  Is it some phrase someone coined to give women an “excuse” to take care of themselves? Or put themselves first once in a blue freaking moon? Or make them feel guilty for not doing something for themselves time and time again? Have a glass of wine? Mindlessly scroll on the socials, or take a bath? These are things that we say are acts of self-care, but ARE they really serving you?    Are you really serving yourself and what you truly need by getting your nails done? It’s about time we stop using the term self-care for things we want to think are self-care and start actually taking care of ourselves in a way that serves us and doing things truly for ourselves.   LINKS   7 Days To Recharge Your Metabolism https://kimbarnesjefferson.lpages.co/7-days-recharge/   Dr. Heather Bartos Instagram:   Dr. Heather Bartos Podcast:     Facebook Page:   Facebook Group:   Website:   Podcast:

The cult of belief. Believing that you have to go hard or else your workout doesn’t count, and it has been done in a certain way in order achieve your results. -- I know how it feels because at one point during my life being fit felt like punishment too...

Have you ever asked yourself was that workout enough? Did that workout count? This has been a conversation I have been having with many of you lately. I know this feeling firsthand as those were the same thoughts, I had in my head for over a decade. How do we make our workouts more effective?  So, I wanted to chat a bit about what I have learned over the years.  I know for me, when it comes to working out, it’s easy to have this philosophy of “go big or go home”!  I was a card-carrying member of this club. Ladies don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s time to shift that mindset and start thinking about effectiveness and efficiency vs constantly and punishment! If you are ready to find a new way to workout, see changes in your body in fewer days and less time spent at the gym.  Keep listening   LINKS 7 Day Recharge. -- a 7 day challenge helping women over 40 focus on shift the focus from constantly to intensity    Facebook Page:   Facebook Group:   Website:   Podcast:       Overtraining Podcast: Natalie Newhart Podcast:

How do you get the most out of a coaching relationship?? Many people may get confused about what is coaching and what is not coaching. And from my 15 years of experience in this, it's about being more of a coach than a trainer.  It's about getting to know what is going on with that person outside of a gym. What is motivating them? What is stopping them from achieving their goals?  What is holding them back?  Are they communicating everything with you? One of the things I learned early on is that there is way more to people's health than how many bicep curls they can do!
