Hi Hustle crew!! Some GREAT work happening in the fall challenge! If you haven't heard, Ladies Learn to Lift is happening THIS Friday (October 16, 6-7pm). This is a fun hands on hour of learning, and lifting. Perfect for beginners, and still super valuable if you've been training a while. I guarantee you'll learn something new 😏 We're meeting monthly, and right now we are working on a "How to build a workout" series. Each session stands alone, you're never behind, never catching up, just learning some clear, useful pieces of fitness each week. This is the class that teaches you how to workout. Hope to see you there! https://trial-166a1a7d.sites.zenplanner.com/event.cfm?eventId=5AFE1A8E-AF71-4BCB-9863-4CB2749750E5

If you’re chasing the top spot, today is your chance to make a move. 🏆 How Scoring Works There are 12 exercises in each round. - ✅ Every exercise you complete = 1 point - ✅ Complete all 12 exercises = 12 points - ✅ Repeat the workout for up to 4 rounds Examples - 1 Round (12/12) = 12 points - 2 Rounds (12/12 each) = 24 points - 3 Rounds (12/12 each) = 36 points - 4 Rounds (12/12 each) = 48 points If you can’t complete every exercise, that’s okay!

Lately I’ve been struggling with pretty intense afternoon crashes, which is new for me. I work out in the mornings and usually start my day feeling energized, but between 2–3pm I hit a wall and feel like I could fall asleep. After work, I still push myself to walk our dog, Doug, but by then I’m completely wiped. It feels like I have nothing left in the tank. Most nights I’m in bed and asleep by 8:30, and sometimes I’m honestly forcing myself to even stay up that late. No matter what time I go to bed, I’m always up around 5am. I usually wake up once during the night but fall right back asleep. Anyone have any suggestions?

Using a Dream/Realistic/Minimum or flexible success framework is my go to for folks struggling with consistency! Your dream week is the version where everything lines up. It is your ideal expression of working toward goals but it is a north star not a baseline. Your realistic week is the one you hit the most often It's sustainable and honest. Your minimum week is the smallest version of success, even on your worst week you can achieve this. When success has more than one version your brain stops defaulting to "I failed, I'll try again next week." It keeps you moving instead of starting over. None of us need more ways to notice failure, we need more ways to win!
