Scary/Exciting News! I’m harnessing this new yea

Scary/Exciting News! I’m harnessing this new year energy and shifting gears.

I’ve taught fitness classes and some version of cardiosweatparty for 12+ years. It’s been the one constant for most of my adult life. I’ve taught in the gym, studio, night clubs, restaurants, rooftops, hotels, retail stores, parks, streets, from my apt, and more, with incredible brands, been featured in the nytimes as one of NYC’s top instructors and on a fitness reality show (lol), and I’ve mentored over 50 new instructors & managed hundreds. Teaching is a part of me—it’s how I connect to YOU. Plus, I f*ing love a good grapevine-ham curl that’s on beat☺️At this point, I think about everything in an 8 count.

This all said, I’m taking a “pause” from live/weekly classes to focus my “spare” time and energy on a new [fitness-related] project that’s been tugging at me for far too long.

💃🏻CSP Lover? Don’t worry! I’m releasing on-demand classes so you can get #highoffcardio with the touch of a button. Stay tuned!

This is NOT the end of CSP, it’s just a powerful pause from live classes. Thank YOU for the support!🌟

Hey You! You can do hard things—big and small.

Hey You!

You can do hard things—big and small.

Today is my dedicated “long run” day, but when I woke up I did NOT want to run. It felt like the biggest “ugh” in the world that seemed super out of reach today. In fact, I sat around in my running gear for 30 min procrastinating the dreaded run.

I told myself that I’d run 3 miles. If I wanted to call it quits, I’d come home and finish up the miles tomorrow. Well guess what happened?

I ended up getting “in the zone”, felt strong at mile 3, and continued to run the set loop around Central Park.

Moral of the story? Even when things feel really hard, whether it’s a run, a new project, or a tough conversation, just put one foot in front of the other, take things step by step, and keep going. You can do hard things💖

Happy 2021 ✨ Here’s to a NEW chapter💫 #newy

You did it.

You survived the year of all years. A year full of loss, grief, sadness, anxiety, confusion, awakening, and LOADS of change. But you’re still here 💕

For me, I endured a year of immense burnout. I went from being the energizer bunny to extremely exhausted. But through this experience, I’ve learned so much.

I am now hyper focused on what I want to do, how I want to live, the impact I want to make, and the connections I want to create. 2021 is going to be another year of CRAZYYYY growth & change, but I’m ready for it!

👉Your turn: how have you found clarity through the 2020 chaos?

Getting a head start on 2021 with a brand new jour

“You are what you consistently do. Choose your h

“You are what you consistently do. Choose your habits wisely as they will define you.”

My Word for 2021: CONSISTENCY

Over the years, I’ve chosen a word to be my overarching theme and act as a guide for what I focus on in the year ahead. Previous years included align, bravery & worth.

There are very few things I’ve consistently done in 2020—mostly bc the year shook me HARD. But as we step into 2021, I want to own my daily habits & chip away at my goals every single day—even when things get tough. I believe success lives in the little things we do everyday.

👉Choosing a theme doesn’t always come easy. If you’re looking to set a defining theme for 2021, sign up for my Sunday Newsletter. Tonight I’m sharing how YOU can find your word! 🔗 in bio 📩

Closing out the week with one of my favorite quote

Closing out the week with one of my favorite quotes from norarobertsauthor 📚

I first heard this quote while working at NYSC— yogajen7 shared at the end of our weekly manager meeting in 2011 and it has stuck with me ever since.

Be clear on what you want & go for it.
Ask for what you want or else you’ll never get closer to having it.
Reach out for help—it’s one step forward!
If you don’t do anything, you’ll stay stuck.
👍 Like if you agree!

For whatever you’re thinking about doing, take a moment and write down THREE action steps you can take TODAY to make it happen. You’ve got this!💖

Shoutout to everyone who shoveled, snow-blowed, and trekked their way to work today in NY. Thank YOU!

Today was the first time...ever? That I didn’t have to go to work in the snow. I took advantage, woke up early, “played” in the snow, and enjoyed the calm energy that the morning of a snowstorm brings☃️

What are you doing on this sn❄️w day?

I LOVE a good cardio finisher, HBU?

A cardio finisher is amazing for both your physical and mental health. Closing out your workout with a high intensity push makes you feel like an absolute ROCKSTAR🌟

Here’s a 12 min finisher from my HIIT class that requires NO jumping:

1️⃣SQUAT PUNCHES
2️⃣SIDE TO SIDE SLAMS
3️⃣PLANK UP DOWN + SPRAWLS

3 sets 💦
30 seconds on, 30 seconds off
1 min recovery in between sets

⏱Tip 1: Feeling good? Spice things up by switching the work:rest ratio to 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off 💪

👟Tip 2: Go as hard as you can during the “on” phase—you are worth the push!!

PS- I think my ponytail got a workout in this one too 😂
