I recently saw a woman say she doesn't think she'll ever have a peach, but she thinks she can build a plum. I feel. like my butt never gets that big no matter what I do, but I was inspired by her journey. This is the glute growth program I'm following (and I'm a personal trainer

In February I started having hip pain so bad that I couldn’t even walk for more than a few blocks without limping. I have spine issues that give me pain in my legs and my doctor thought it could be that, but it felt different to me. I pushed for her to order an MRI. I'm very lucky to have great

Anyone else's neck LOCKED TF UP? IDK what it is, but I've been working super long hours (and if you create a lot of content you know what it's like to be craned over your phone for HOURS). And lately my neck has been locking up. These exercises give me almost immediate relief. Warning-

Eating meat again! As a vegetarian I struggled to hit my protein goals. As soon as I stopped being a vegetarian eating got way easier. I was hitting my protein goals and built my glutes up in 2 months (and I’m only just getting started!) Pre-vegetarian me had no problem with glute growth but

I'm a chronic oversharer but even I know that these are things no one needs to know about your relationship. **Caveat, this assumes you're in a healthy relationship. Hiding abuse and mistreatment is not what I'm advocating for.** Fights, 💩Talking, and Negative Attributes I think it&

I'm a personal trainer so living with chronic pain is definitely a challenge. But these are the tools I utilize to help me stay active and manage pain as it arises. Physical Therapy I go to physical therapy every time I have a flare-up and end up in pain. Its hands down the most effectiv

I saw this online and I thought it was genius! Does anyone else feel like they constantly want to do things their partner couldn't GAF about? My husband and I sadly don't share a ton of common interest. When we were dating we were lucky enough to forge some new ones by being open to trying

I don't know about you, but I'm not one of those girlies who needs a "rotting" day. In fact, I hate myself if I sleep past 9am on the weekend. But it does occasionally happen where for one reason or another I blink and it feels like the day has gotten away from me. When that happens

There's a lot of "5am girlies" on here with really big routines. They sound great but like, MOST of us aren't going to spend 20 minutes without screentime and journaling before they start their day. Here's a roadmap to an easy morning routine that checks off the basics but w
