What’s the first thing you think of when it comes to mobility? Previous to finding mobility reels on Insta, I would’ve said what you are likely thinking…

The honest to god truth (IMHO lol)…whatever you want! I can visualize your confusion, weariness and concern, so let’s dig into this a little deeper.

Ah, New Year’s—a time to celebrate the end of another year, fresh beginnings, and for the “health and wellness” industry to dupe you into thinking you should be a different person. The phrase “new year, new you” is such a simple tactic to shame you into changing because societal standards are f’d up.

In the last two years, I’ve done a ton of work to undo a lot of negative self talk (and let’s be honest, there’s still plenty). Therapy, anti-diet nutrition appointments, surrounding myself with people I admire and curating my social media accounts have all helped. But at the end of the day, I have to put in work to keep the negative thoughts from taking over.

Having an open and honest relationship with your trainer is a must. If you’re feeling pressured or dismissed, perhaps it’s time to find new support!

Feeling frustrated with our movement can be so disappointing, but there is a light at the end of that tunnel. Let’s take a look at some of the most common frustrations in the gym and how we an overcome them.

If you’re reading this, you must have a body and in that case, congrats! You’re beach body ready! Around this time each year, I would gather up my determination and decide that I was going to have the “perfect” beach body. Of course, that never came to fruition.

Contrary to what you’ve been taught to believe, the way you appear on the outside doesn’t determine your health on the inside. We’ve been told from a very, very young age that fat is bad and should be unwanted, lest you fall into a world of chronic health issues and die at 65.

Everything carries some amount of risk from standing at your sink washing the dishes to doing a box jump. Recently, the latter led to a life changing event that I never expected.

Anyone else drowning in social media posts, articles and guru suggestions for “the perfect workout to (enter literally anything here)”? Seeing this kind of content as a fitness professional and body neutral trainer is so frustrating because the perfect workout doesn’t exist. If it did, we’d all be out of a job 😬. Okay, so let’s set the record straight.

That’s right, even the youngins! Fortunately like most things in life, strength/resistance training has no age limit. I’m not sure when society decided that only thin people between the ages of 20-40 should lift, but…(eye roll). Anyway, let’s tackle the biggest myths out there when it comes to this type of exercise.

Our appearance is the least interesting thing about us! But here are some reasons why we shouldn’t comment and things you can say/reply with instead!

At Blue Room, body neutrality means approaching your body with respect and coming as you are. No toxic positivity here - some days you might not like your body and that’s ok.
