Dear Stellargirls,

Stellargirls soar! Our attitude towards genuine wellness is a happy, healthy, and confident self. We live out our quest by being active, fitting into our own mold, and looking beyond what popular culture deems as “perfect.”

Stellargirls thrive with vitality because we eat smart (but who doesn’t love a little chocolate?!), and we cherish ourselves from the inside out. We are motivated by our mind and body connection.

Strength is stellar-shaped. Celebrate, admire and treasure yours!

Love,

October 5, 2020

Dear Stellargirls,

Change up your workout, keep your body guessing with this Stellargirl strong Hour of Power!

Here is a simple way to start. Download the gymboss app. Set the timer for 40 seconds / 20 seconds. It will beep so you don’t have to check a watch or your phone.

If you prefer the outdoors head to the trails or park or you can do this on a treadmill.

Minutes 1 thru 4 – 40 second speed walk alternate with 20 second walk

Minutes 5 thru 10 – 40 second light jog alternate with a 20 second walk

Minutes 11 thru 20 – 40 second faster jog or sprint alternate with a 20 second walk – you’ll be glowing right now!

Minutes 21 thru 30 – 40 second jog alternate with a 20 second walk

WOW half way done!!!

Minutes 30 thru 56 pick a bench along your route or if you are in a gym, find a flat bench.

Same set up, 40 seconds of effort and 20 second rest and change to the next exercise.

Perform these 4 simple moves in sequence then repeat for a total of 6 rounds

1) Body weight squat – butt must tap the bench do as many as you can in 40 seconds, rest 20 seconds

2) Incline push up on bench, do as many as you can in 40 seconds, rest 20 seconds

3) Sit on edge of bench, lean back a little and bring your knees to your chest then your heels to tap down to the ground for a seated ab crunch, do as many as you can for 40 sec, rest for 20 seconds

4) Side leg lifts. Hands flat on bench, back straight, lift one leg to the side try to get it as high as your hip, don’t swing use control on your way down. Don’t forget to change to the other leg the next round. Do as many lifts as you can in 40 seconds, rest for 20 seconds

6 rounds.

Voila, hour of power complete! Walk it home or finish with a light stretch!

Love,

Why Strong Matters
Stellargirls get up, get moving, and slay our days!

October 5, 2020

Dear Stellargirls,

As a business owner, mom of four, and a woman who travels every week for work, I always make time for fitness. Our bodies are meant to move! It is proven that daily exercise reduces stress, improves sleep, and helps us live longer. Who wouldn’t want to be in a stellar mood? To me a healthy lifestyle is a way of life. Stellargirls get up, get moving, and slay our days!

Stop making excuses. We spend hours on our phones, why not spend an hour exercising?

I have a rule. I never let more than 2 days go by without breaking a sweat.

Think of it as your “hour of power”. It gets your blood pumping, endorphins flowing, your skin glowing and your heart happy!

Pick what works for you. A power walk, yoga, cross fit, barre class, or a 6 mile run! Make it count, make it efficient, grab a friend and get moving. I’ll be posting an hour of power workout in a few days, stay tuned Stellargirl Strong…..

Love,

Teri

Emotional Muscle
Know what makes YOUR body happy!

October 15, 2020

Stellargirls,

What does that mean? For me it is knowing what makes my heart healthy and my mind calm. I need a good sweat. Exercise is my anchor and I found that starting my day with it supports my emotional muscle. I prefer HIIT training or bootcamp over a 10K run but that’s exactly why there are different types of movement for any mood and every person. Your own “fun- fuel”!

My workouts are essential. A gym or a dance studio are my playgrounds. Hiking trails or the ocean are my sanctuaries. However, I do prefer to workout with my social “sweatwork” of girlfriends, the Peleton treadmill community or my boyfriend. By nature, we are happier amongst others, therefore building emotional muscle.

Now, more than ever, having a healthy lifestyle can build up your immunity which can speed up recovery from a cold, an injury or even Covid-19. Having a chill afternoon on a rainy day or a relaxing evening is bliss. Some downtime is essential butt laziness equates to complacency. Change your mindset and your body will follow. If you are in funk, get energized outside and go for a walk. If you can’t go for a walk, wake up your brain with a good book, or listen to a guided mediation. Building emotional muscle converts to emotional strength. Simply put you just found your “fun-fuel”!

Stellargirls are happy and hopeful. De-stress together, take care of yourself and all your muscles!
