Give me ice cream or give me liberty. . Okay, in all seriousness, what is with extremism? . At times, I do believe it is necessary in order to make a drastic change or part of your personality in order to be successful. . But that is a small number of people and not everyone!!! . Why do we cut out the things we love then get mad at ourselves when we can no longer say no to ourselves and over indulge? . How about we try moderation of the things and learn about to still incorporate them and still make progress? . There is a few different ways to do this (my clients and I have tried them all and use them all): • Flexible Dieting (macro counting) • Eat the rainbow • Intuitive Eating . The main thing is try create a lifestyle that works for you and your goals. . Not what works for your neighbor, mother, boyfriend, friend, etc. . What works for you! . Sadly, it’s not One-size-fits-all. . But that would take all of the fun out of it wouldn’t it. . Anywho, don’t give up if you haven’t found what works for you yet! You will! . . . If you want help in finding a way that works for you, I’m taking applications for new one-on-one clients in the new year. Link to app is in my bio. . Happy Tuesday! (at Los Angeles, Venice Beach)

Dumbbell Pull Over . . This is one of my favorite back movements and it also hits most of your body due to position you have to hold to perform it. . You can execute this exercise with your shoulders on a bench. . Squeeze your glutes to hold your body straight from your knees to your head. . Drive your feet into the ground and turn your feet out slightly to help you stabilize. . Pull the Dumbbell over your body until it is above your chest then lower back down (only as far as you can with mostly straight arms). . Use your lats/back to move the Dumbbell rather than your triceps. . Keep a slight bend in your arms. . Pull your elbows in slightly as the Dumbbell comes over your body. This helps you use your lats. . Use a medium-heavy wight for 8-12 reps for 3-5 sets. . What is one of your favorite back movements? Comment below! (at Los Angeles, Venice Beach)
