What events are you attending? I’m so excited to enhance my skills at the @adidas tennis clinic and to zen out at Roll and Release 😊 . I hope you rockstars have an incredible end to your week. Have any questions about Wanderlust or my fav place - Tahoe?

You dont get stronger during the workout, you get stronger during the recovery. . Active recovery days are essential to building a stronger, more resilient you. Taking a day or two to allow your muscles to rebuild and repair is what allows you to come back to your next workout stronger and full of energy - helping you push that edge and become a better athlete. . What activities are appropriate for an active recovery day? Mobility work, slow pace jogs, stretching and foam rolling, long walks, light, slow yoga, moving through fun and easy calisthenics, or anything that involves movement without pushing your body to its limit. Active recovery is not sitting on the couch or at your computer. Keep moving, work through the soreness, and help your muscles and fascia become healthier by focusing on mobility. . am so curious what your active recovery days look like. Do you have a favorite activity? Me? Its light runs or easy bike rides followed by mobility work. . . . . . 📷: @praaaise #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #inspiration #theassemblysf #doingthings #palmbffs #femfeed #palmcrew23 #mobility #thereleasesf
Next weekend I will be attending my favorite festival of the year, @wanderlustfest, surrounded by the beauty of my favorite place on earth, Lake Tahoe 🌲 . There is an energy at Wanderlust Squaw that is unrivaled. It is pure, open, and vibrant. I am looking forward to a weekend full of movement, nature, music and new friends. . I’ll be joining the hikes, speakeasy talks, acro yoga, stand up paddle boarding and dancing along to the dopest DJs in the dopest classes. Its truly a magical weekend for those who love to move, explore, create, and play. . Send me a message or comment below if you’ll be there too! We can coordinate our schedules! If you’ve never been and you’re free next weekend, absolutely check out @wanderlustfest and wanderlust.com for tickets! ✌🏼♥️🌲✨ . . #WanderlustSquaw #FindYourTrueNorth 📷: @lisavortman
Don’t mind me, just casually dancing to the hot lava coming out of my headphones 🎶 during my walk to work 🕺🏼 (PS. If you legit catch me commute-dancing on the streets of SF, this is your official invitation to join in on the party! #shameless #canthelpit #musicmademedoit ) . . Speaking of walking - if you are having joint or muscle pain and cant quite pinpoint the cause, your gait (how you walk or run) might be to blame. Think of your body like a car - it will run for miles and miles as long as you keep it tuned up, but something as minor as an alignment issue or uneven tire pressure can cause terrible wear and tear if you continue to drive on without fixing the issues. . . In your body, something as minor as your feet striking the ground unevenly or a tendency to favor one hip over the other might lead to major consequences once you put in the miles. . Have your walking or running gait evaluated by a pro- a Physical Therapist, Athletic Trainer 👋🏼, or a coach who has extensive training in this area. . . . . . . . 📷: @comeplum #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #inspiration #theassemblysf #doingthings #palmbffs #femfeed #palmcrew23 #letthegoodtimesroll #walkingsilly #handsintheair
This is my favorite quote. It can be applied to so many, diverse situations and thoughts. This is one of those phrases that I repeat to myself and others as both a comfort and a challenge. Isnt that beautiful? . . I crave opportunities to practice fearlessness over perfection - like this weekend in Lake Tahoe where we climbed some gnarly rocks, jumped off of rock cliffs into chilly water and hiked around the beautiful wilderness. I paid no attention to what I looked like or how skilled or unskilled I was at climbing - instead, I embraced the challenge and enjoyed my time in the great outdoors. #reset . . I am so excited to return to Tahoe July 19-22 for @wanderlustfest. Its my favorite festival - outdoors, healthy food, dope events, yoga, hiking, and new friendships all on the backdrop of beautiful Lake Tahoe. Bring your sunscreen, your humility, and your open heart and join me for an epic weekend of movement, mindfulness and opportunities to practice fearlessness over perfection. . .

@competit.her was born out of a passion for changing the way we approach performance and injury risk reduction in high school athletes. After spending the past ten years studying injuries in sports and the past four years focusing on injuries in female high school athletes, I learned that there is a ton of information out there that is ether outdated or isn’t being implemented effectively. Something magical happens when you answer the calling to make a difference, to create something new and to do it the right way. . . @nina.szemis and I are on a mission to provide high school athletes with the tools necessary to become their best selves. We have partnered with brands we trust and health care professionals we respect to bring this generation of high school and collegiate athletes the very best education and movement training. . .

I’m not a big drinker, so I’m usually bringing my own exciting, fizzy beverages to parties to supplement the alcoholic drink options that are usually provided... #lightweight 💁‍♀️ . . I choose drink options that are healthy, hydrating and fun to drink. When I found out about @soundtea and it’s sparkling tea goodness, I was stoked to add another fun, non-alcoholic bev to the party roster. My fav flavor is the chamomile! Highly recommend 👌🏼 . . 📷: @comeplum #soundtea #influencer #injuryprevention #tonalfam #sanfrancisco #personaltrainer #fitspiration #fitlife #healthy #nomoredrinksforliz
