Woke up on this Monday morning feeling tired and blah. My body felt like it needed to loosen up. So I put together a quick but thorough stretch session with a touch of core before seeing my Monday clients. Hope you enjoy!

PEACE OUT, Victoria. ✌🏼
That was fun.
“Can we bike there?”
🚴🏼♂️🚴🏻♀️
That was the big question of the trip. Bringing bikes on our trip to Victoria was one of the best last moment decisions J has made. We knew walking everywhere would mean there’d be a whole lot of breaks and of course, whining. And though there was some push back at first (from K) about taking the bikes, she quickly got over it and I think this trip actually rekindled her love for biking again!
Having the bikes meant:
* we saved money for parking
* no whining about walking
* extra movement for them = better sleep
* J and I got a run in together
* they got more practice with riding on the street
All wins in my book!

First time in Victoria! (Except for J.)
And you better believe I overdosed on Gravol before boarding that ferry! 🤣 #boatanxiety
So excited to explore somewhere new and local before going back to school (eek!)!
Today, we checked out downtown and visited the Parliament Buildings. Ruby and Beacon Hill were some popular recs. Feel free to hit me up with your favourite spots below. 👇🏼

It filled my heart to celebrate diversity, equality and love for all. We have come so far in the last 50 years yet there’s still so much further to go. We all have the right to be who we are. 🏳️🌈
Thanks for capturing this for us @maryinvancity. ❤️

I have been following @vanfitnessinmotion for a while now and just love the movements she shares. They are functional, multifaceted and target the body the way it was meant to move. She also gives off some awesome vibes so give her a follow!
I was at the gym the other day, scrolling through IG in between sets (doesn’t everyone do that? ☺️) and saw this glute finisher she shared. The last exercise I tried had me sweating and trembling within minutes so I was pumped to try this one after working my lower extremities. My legs were already like jelly and after only 3 sets of this finisher, my legs straight up hated me. I managed one final set and my legs were done. It was SO GOOD. Honestly though, I should’ve used a lower weight but I was too lazy to get it. 🤣 Did this again today with 40lbs and it felt 👌🏼 And that’s why I love following other health practitioners: they bring on fresh, new ideas that inspire me to keep challenging my body.
Do you have a favourite fitness instagramer that you go to regularly to spice up your workouts?

I miss them.
I miss my dad’s memes and my mom’s positive energy. I miss my mom pointing out all of my dad’s bad habits and how I shouldn’t copy them. 🤣 Or how my dad got annoyed by my mom’s hoarding. 😂
Some days I just don’t feel like ME so I haven’t been on Stories as much. I want to and I miss sharing with you guys but I feel so checked out. I just want to spend time with close friends + the family so I’ve been focusing on doing more of that. Thank you for your messages checking in on me - your love means so much. 💛
Oh and that belt my mom’s wearing in this pic... Liv found it while we were cleaning out their house. She now calls it “Popo’s pride belt”. ☺️🌈
Enjoy the weekend y’all. 😘

Hi gym. It has been a while.
#RLVPartner
Has your movement routine shifted since summer arrived? ☀️🧘🏻♀️🏊🏼♀️🤸🏻♂️⛹🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️
To be honest, I don’t remember the last time I set foot in a gym. 🙈 The weather has been so awesome that I’ve been incorporating more backyard/driveway workouts and the #coquitlamcrunch. But boy did it feel good to step inside an air conditioned gym. 😂
I trained the posterior chain today and put a little more focus on movements that I struggle with (hello, Bulgarian split squats and hip thrust). @stevenashfitnessclubs has a wide variety of equipment that keeps my body guessing!
4 sets
1. Lateral step up, weighted (bench)
2. Bulgarian split squats, weighted
3. Sumo squat, kettlebell
4. Kettlebell swing, alt arm
5. Deadlift
6. Hip thrust
7. Plank, using barbell
