TAKING ACTION: ✅Check out today’s post and answer the question at the bottom! I want to hear from everyone today! We’ve been talking about our glutes all week long, but today we’re going to shake things up a little and have a little fun! 🎉 Let’s talk about the importance of COMMUNITY! 🫶 We’re meant to be a part of a community. Since the beginning of time, we’ve formed communities and depended on one another for various reasons. With that, when you’re choosing a community to be a part of, you must find people who are aligned with you. You must find people who have similar goals, desires, and values. While none of us are exactly the same within this community, we do have a few commonalities that hold us together. We’re connected in this space because we all care about our health and wellness. 💯 I'm so thankful that ya'll are here!!! Here are a few reasons why it’s important to find the right community, especially in the health & wellness space ⬇️ 1️⃣ Inspiration and motivation: With common goals, we can depend on each other for inspiration and motivation. I like to say, “On your worst days, you need the group, and on your best days, someone in the group needs you.” 2️⃣ Shared lessons: If one person is struggling with something, there are likely more. We learn so many valuable lessons in this space and can learn from one another’s struggles. That’s why engaging in the comments is so important. 3️⃣ It’s more fun: It really is. When’s the last time you had fun alone? Sure, you can enjoy alone time, but that isn’t the same as having fun. Speaking of fun, let’s have a little today as we focus on building a stronger community by getting to know each other a little! 🎉 Answer the following question below: What is the one food you refuse to ever give up? 🍽️

TAKING ACTION: ✅After reading today’s post, are you consistently meeting your protein goal? If not, why? Let’s talk about it below! While it’s true that muscle growth depends on all of your macros, protein is arguably the most important. It’s the building block for muscles. Carbs count, too, thank goodness 🙌, but today is all about protein. Protein is the macro you don’t want to skimp on, especially if you are working toward goals of feeling leaner, stronger, and more physically fit. Not only does it aid in muscle growth, but it aids in muscle preservation—and as you age, you want to preserve your muscle mass at all costs. 💯 So whether you’re trying to lose fat or build muscle, you simply shouldn’t skimp on protein. That brings us to this question: How much protein should you really be eating? Generally speaking, women over 40 need to eat between 0.6 g and 1.2 g of protein per pound of body weight. Where you personally land in this range will depend on your height, weight, activity level, and goals. A general recommendation for an active woman is typically around 100g per day; however, if you’re an active woman who is hoping to gain and/or preserve lean muscle and optimize healthy body composition, you may want to shoot for 1.0 g-1.1 g per pound of body weight. Are you consistently meeting your protein goal? If not, now is the time to make it a priority. Your muscle growth, and specifically your glute gains, depend on it. 👌 *See comments for another Glute Workout*

Is it only me or does coconut water taste foul? I’ve tried it on several occasions and I just can’t get past the dirty water taste. Tried Harmless Harvest Organic this time - it’s better than the others but still 🤢
