I am the girl on the right… not to be boastful, but when I see this pic all I can do is stare at is my legs and think is “DAMN… THANK YOU, SQUATS AND LUNGES”. :)

I did a widow maker yesterday with 115 pounds. A widow maker is 20 reps of squats. It was dying by rep 15. After that, I ran 3.8 miles outside. It was a glorious day.

ATTENTION EVERYONE: THIS GIRL = BAMF

My 66 year old mom doing her first squats. Only the bar for now but she knocked 15 out twice!

This is BADASS.  I took my younger sister to the gym and had her doing squats with the barbell this week too and it was awesome.

I GET TO BE A PERSONAL TRAINER

for my sister after her wedding! I would prefer to start now rather than mid March, but she says she is too stressed out with the wedding to start now.  Now, of course I don’t know everything there is to working out, but my sister is starting from square one with no knowledge of lifting, proper nutrition, HIIT, etc. so I can at least teach her what I do know.  I am SO EXCITED to introduce her to the squat rack at some point!  I am going to write up little workouts for her to do throughout the week when our schedules don’t mesh and I am going to get a little nutrition plan going for her as well. :D :D :D

CURVY

Am I the only one that hates the way the word “curvy” is used in women’s clothing?  It’s like it is only used to describe a certain group of women.  I feel like way that clothing companies will only use the word to describe clothes that fit heavier people discounts the people who are not overweight but actually have curvy bodies, whether natural or sculpted.  It annoys me that when it comes to clothes, curvy has almost become synonymous with overweight… What about women that work out and squat a million pounds to have curvy butts but don’t need a ton of extra fabric in the legs/stomach/etc as well?  Ugh, so annoyed.
