Stronger than ever - Mentally & physically! I'm not sure if it's because I'm a mother now (or maybe it's my @womensbest BCAA Aminos giving me life 😜) but I have never been as strong as I am today. It blows my mind what my body can do and I'm so grateful for it. It not only grew and birthed a human but it continues to get stronger. I'm capable of doing more now than I was when I was in my 20s! My mind is also stronger than ever - I can push myself further out of my comfort zone than I've ever been able to do before. I'm also more accepting & loving of myself and I'm more in tune with my body than I've ever been. It's just the best feeling! I believe weightlifting really does translate into many things in life and I'm so grateful I'm able to do it. 🙏🏼💪🏼 . I just wanted to remind you to focus and be grateful for what your body can DO rather than what it looks like. What an amazing machine it is! 😃🙌🏼 X Em . . #womensbest #emilyskye #strongerthanever #strongmentallyandphysically #strength #truestrength #strongmama #bicepflex

"Buildups themselves are like places you once lived. You can never go home again. It's probably changed - or you have. Comparing is unavoidable, but it's not direct. So, I try to appreciate the buildup while I'm in it. It's a time capsule of me as a person and a situation that I probably won't encounter exactly again." - Olympic Trials Qualifier and Strava employee @jmmackattack ⁣ ⁣ Read our latest blog piece, The Miles Before Trials, by @watermandy in collaboration with @tracksmithrunning, for more insight into Jeanne's buildup heading into Atlanta.

I see self worth as a beautiful tree🌳. If your core self, your trunk isn't nourished and strong, then your branches will suffer (your relationships, your family, your work and passions). Looking after your emotional fitness is not only a priority, it's an investment. Making sure your trunk is healthy and not brittle is important to thrive, grow deeper roots, and to give to your branches. Exercise can help to build self esteem and resilience. And this is why I do TIFFXO 🧡 How did you give to yourself today?

5. Pocket Yoga
