I have a love/hate relationship with rest days. True, low key, rest days. I hate not going to the gym because I love lifting, but I love how I feel after a full day of rest. It’s important to let your body recover to prevent injury, of course, but if you don’t give yourself enough rest you’ll become irritable, over sore and too stiff, you’ll have a decrease in appetite which will lead to an inability to train and low motivation and soon you’ll be right back to where you started. Don’t be afraid to rest, your body needs it and you might even feel stronger during your next workout.

I have a new yoga/workout/learning space in my home that just needs a few pieces and it will be complete! What are some of your favorite things that inspire creativity or motivation?

I remember how terrified I was to go into the fitness area of the first gym I joined. I loved taking group classes and was curious about machines, etc. but had no idea where to start or how to use things and I was too embarrassed to ask. But now I think machines are the easiest place to start at the gym, no fancy moves just straightforward muscle building! ——— New workouts and recipes posted on kateneedsfitness.com (link in bio) ——— **Also, I never workout without a shirt. The gym was empty and @mattneeds was there for video 😆 #throwback

My weekends are spent at the gym and in my kitchen! Find all of my workouts and new recipes on my blog 💪🏻 Link in bio!

It’s not about the number. ◀️Age 22: eating whatever I wanted, occasionally going for a run (maybe once a month), weekends at the bar. ▶️Age 29: Mom of one, balanced diet (vegetables, gf grains, occasionally pizza/ice cream!), consistent strength training, (no alcohol). The scale is not always the best way to track progress, try measurements or just go by how you feel. Just be consistent, it’s the only way to make things happen! ✨

I completed my first Spartan Trifecta on Sunday! That’s 1 Sprint (4 mile), 1 Super (9 mile), 1 Beast (13 mile) all in 2018 💪🏻 Okay I got lucky and was able to do all 3 at the same location, but every race was different and so challenging. Even though this last race, the Super, felt the hardest for me because I haven’t been doing any running training because of a stress fractured toe and I was getting over a cold (no excuses!) I still was able to complete every obstacle (30ish) - except the very last (of 3!) Multi-Rig (rings) because I was ☠️ by the end. I always feel like the flex photo is necessary at the end of a Spartan race 😆 swipe! Notice how happy I was to be at the finish line 😄
