100 Days of Sweat Challenge Recap What started as a way to practice what I preach—balancing strength training with a busy lifestyle and my sport (dance)—turned into something so much more. This challenge taught me discipline, the importance of showing up for myself even when I don’t feel like it, and also how to extend grace and empathy on days when I needed rest. These 100 days have been so rewarding, both mentally and physically. From working on stability, mobility, strength, and power, I’ve noticed huge improvements—not just in dance, but also in everyday life (yes, moving heavy boxes felt way easier than before 👀). Along the way, I got to test out new exercises that are more diagnosis/sports specific, learn what works best for my body, and most importantly, reconnect with this amazing community. Your story replies and likes honestly gave me little bursts of motivation—I loved every interaction hehe 🫶🏼 (and s/o to @tylerqyan for inspiring me heh) 100 days may have passed, but this is just the beginning. Going to the gym feels way less intimidating now, and excuses? Where? 😏💪🏼 This isn’t the end, so stay tuned, because we’re just getting started 😈

6.23.25 Ballet was my first and only dance training growing up. While I’ve always loved the art form, it also brought a lot of insecurity—I didn’t have the “ideal” arches, my thighs weren’t slim, my turnout and extensions never felt good enough, and I struggled with turns. After tearing my ACL, I stopped ballet and discovered open style/hip hop, which I truly fell in love with. Still, a part of me missed ballet—but fear and self-doubt kept me from going back. Now, after 3 years of teaching ballet to kids and teens, I decided to challenge myself as I have challenged them and revisit this variation. It’s far from perfect, but I’m proud I did it—for the 12-year-old me who needed this. I see growth—not just in movement/technique (thanks to PT school in understanding biomechanics and cross training in different dance styles) but in confidence as a person. I’m grateful for that most of all. 🤍

The upper back or "thoracic spine" is a large source of pain for our necks, shoulder, arms and lower back. Regular movement through our thoracic spine is helpful in relieving pain and stiffness in the above areas. Physio resident, @candancephysio , demonstrates some go-to thoracic mobility exercises. These are great to do throughout the day and a great break from sitting. 1) Thoracic Rotations 2) Thread the Needle 3) Thoracic Extensions Repeat each 10x for every 2 hours of sitting :) These exercises promote movements we don't normally do, will help with improved breathing and general flexibility. Get moving! *Note: Video is for educational purposes only. If you are experiencing significant movement loss or pain, please consult a movement health professional first.
