What I’ve learned from teaching group fitness for 12 years

September 14, 2021 4 Comments

Is it really possible that I’ve been teaching group fitness for 12 years? It is! While you know I teach classes every week, I don’t write about teaching as a craft as often as I used to. In fact, some of my most popular posts ever on A Lady Goes West are about group fitness. […]

Continuing on the discussion about the word “perfect” with this thought. As a recovered perfectionist, I can tell you this first-hand. You have to let go a little, in order to really grow. This is your reminder to be kind to yourselves, friends. ❤️ -xoxo, Ashley

Food talk for mommas! I'm not ashamed to say that

Today was Brady’s first day of preschool at his new school! I don’t think they do superlatives in preschool, but this little man would definitely win silliest or most talkative or both, if they did. He marched into school chatting with a teacher straight from drop-off, but I shed a tear as he went into the building — so proud of my guy, nearly hidden behind his big new truck backpack. Here’s hoping for a healthy, happy and full school year. Swipe through for the good ones. 😍📚

Definitely not the last time I wear white this fall nor is it the last time Brady shows a little crack. We had a pretty solid Labor Day weekend, and it marked the end of a summer filled with visitors, travel and sunshine, leaving our hearts full. Hope yours was good too! ❤️

When people ask me how I’m adapting to being back in the South after eight years in the Bay Area in California, I let them know that my jean shorts have been ready for humid college football since the day I arrived in North Carolina. Put ‘em to use tonight. 🏈☀️

Hello, September! New month, same me. Somehow, we

Hello, September! New month, same me. Somehow, we only have four months left of 2021, and I’m in awe of all the changes that have taken place in my life this year, likely with more before the end of the year. Here’s what I’m looking forward to this month and what I’m planning to do …
-All the pumpkin. I had my first PSL this past weekend and it’s just as good as I remember. Two pumps of pumpkin sauce in a venti with oat milk is my preference.
-Low-key weekends! We’ve had an amazing summer of travel and visitors, but it’s time to slow down a bit.
-Preschool for Brady starts next week, and I will miss him, but I will also utilize the time like crazy.
-Teaching and taking fun classes and doing solo workouts that bring me joy. I’m not into boring or miserable fitness plans, no matter how effective they are. Fitness should be fun!
-Keeping my priorities in check, which means less scrolling and more creating.
-Crawling in bed by 10pm to read, because the bedtime has inched back over the last few months and needs to autocorrect. Sleep is life!

What are you looking forward to or planning this month, friends? Let’s hear it! 😍
