    Happy Friday 😇 Here’s a fun illustration fro Happy Friday 😇 Here’s a fun illustration from a dear friend. Where do you think this little guy is going?
    I have been thinking about the language being used I have been thinking about the language being used to describe the symptoms of the effects of the pandemic on people’s health. It’s divided into two categories: Physical and mental. It’s quite shallow to squeeze emotional and spiritual health into the same category as mental health. Sure, staring at a screen and not moving all day affects a person’s mental ability - focusing, having clarity and awareness… The emotional and spiritual side effects are glossed over because that’s what our society is accustomed to doing. We aren’t well-equipped to hold space for emotional or spiritual needs so we put it all into one category and call it one thing - mental. If there’s a positive thing the pandemic has shed light on, it’s that our society has deep health issues that go so far beyond the mental and physical. I think there is a focus on the mental and physical because that’s what is seen as the most productive for an economical standpoint. One may say it’s due to a capitalist framework, but I’m not entirely sure. I also believe it’s a way of communicating to a very diverse nation. When there isn’t a collective religious and spiritual tradition, communication about health becomes general instead of specific. But the spiritual and the emotional are integral factors to health - if you don’t know how to address them you’re missing something essential. Diversity is beautiful but the ability to connect on a deeper level as a group takes energy and time that our society isn’t used to or maybe cannot do. That’s why I am beyond grateful for what we have here at Sister Fit. We are able to speak about our health as a complex web that affects us individually and as a community. We are transparent and open about our desires for deep health and how culture, identity, and how we fit into society is a major influence. I think gyms should reflect the diversity of society. We need different types, different cultures, and different modalities to do what we say we want - make an impact, especially in marginalized communities. We can do this by not clumping things together for convenience but by making room for all that we are. #deephealth

    This is a clip of the most challenging workout I d This is a clip of the most challenging workout I did this year, that happened to be in January (excluding my kettlebell comp in March - I died). This is my final set of a two arm long cycle with 12kg bells. The workout was 8 rounds of lifts for 1.5 minutes with a 30 sec rest @12 reps/ minute. My ghost 👻 definitely appeared and I went into “spiritual transcendence.” The second video is me doing some slow shadow boxing as a cool down. I worked with a great coach (@rachenne) for approx two years to help program my training and teach me the technical aspects of this sport. Having scheduled workouts was incredibly helpful for me during stressful times and particularly over the pandemic. Letting a coach do the programming for you is a HUGE time-saver and also keeps you very accountable. My advice to anyone wanting to make significant changes to their physique and fitness is to think LONG term and be consistent. I worked around my back injury, emotional distress and other issues while I was working with my coach, and we adjusted. Sometimes I needed a week or two off. Sometimes I needed to do only light training for a couple months. The point is to think BIG picture, and commit. Once you’re honed in, you may find yourself safely going into “spiritual transcendence” 👻 #talc #kettlebellsport #cleanandjerk #boxing #fitnessgoals #commitment
