Hopefully this can be a little reminder to do the thing that scares you.
It’s true what they say — that ‘when you know you know’ because the second I walked through this space I knewwwww that it would become the new home for MET Studio.
And now, just over 9 months later new plans are already brewing…!!! :)

New obsession: the rower
It’s been getting a lot of use in my gym lately and these are two of my favorite ways to program it - both meant to add onto a larger session, not replace it.
Grateful to @aviron.active for the setup. Genuinely love having the rower now as an addition to the treadmill

Your perfect leg day warmup exercise…
Here’s how:
1. Engage the core, soft bend in the supporting knee, and a slight hinge forward.
2. Keep constant tension on the band as you draw a half circle clockwise (12-6) and then counterclockwise (6-12).
3. Notice how different muscles in your leg fire as you sweep the leg around.
4. Complete 8-10 reps per side (back and forward = 1 rep)

Current favorite glute exercise 〰️〰️
I’ve been using this as a pre-lift activation before (or as a burn out after) hip thrusts, sumo squats, and deadlifts, and it’s a serious one-two punch.
Why it works:
** glute med activation
** oblique engagement
** hip stabilizer control
** better pelvic mechanics
** injury prevention for low back + knees
Save it. Try it. Thank your hips later :)

Studio Sessions || 01: “Tread & Core”
A 30(ish) minuter, especially good for when you don’t want to do much, but you know you are due to clock in.
The short? It’s a bit of running, 2 circuits of ab-focused work, capped off with a lil conditioning push. You could easily take the run to/from the gym also - I just managed to avoid copious layers of outerwear at the studio (TY @aviron.active )
“TREAD & CORE”
5 min warm up run (3-4 /10 effort - think: easy going)
5 min tempo run (6-7 / 10 effort - think: comfortably hard)
I opted for a scenic run in Utah @aviron.active that even adjusts for elevation gains (!!)

Let’s go💗💗
Four months since getting the keys to the new studio.
And about four months before I let myself be happy with this little slice of paradise. I recently looked back at my original mood board though and said “oh shit! I did it! I bought this to life!” haha.
MET Studio is more than a gym, it’s my little brain-child-sanctuary :)
Thank you my dear friend @jessglistening for capturing this moment, and milestone. I adore you.
Thank you @darenconui for bringing the curtain vision to life.
Thank you to all the amazing women that come here week after week and amaze me with your determination and grace. You’re why I do this.
