I love breakfast! I can probably eat it all day, everyday. I mean it is the most important meal of the day after all, right? But I know a lot of you struggle with breakfast because the mornings are pretty chaotic or you just don’t have an appetite. Well, with these yummy ideas I am pretty sure your mouth will be watering by the end of this blog. A little tip that I do for the morning, is to just take it the night before, put in a tupperware and just heat and go in the morning.

Not everyone is the same, which is a good thing. If not how boring would the world be. Can you imagine if everyone were trainers? There would be no doctors, lawyers, accountants and the list goes on. Just like everyone is going to have a different career path, everyone will enjoy different things when it comes to fitness.

I always get the same reaction every time I tell someone my age...utter shock! No-one can believe that I’m 32 and if I'm being honest, neither can I. I believe age is just a number and the test of your true age is how you view life. Many think that I am around 23-25 years old (I got 18 once haha). I do feel that age and I view myself like that as well. Maybe you call it immature but I call it positivity and free living.

We live in a society where almost everyone is on a diet. It may be you, your co-worker, spouse, friend, and the list goes on. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention nearly 70% of Americans remain overweight. So what does that tell you?

Eating your pre- workout meal (before) and post-workout (after) is more than ok. It is necessary! Only under certain circumstances would it be ok to ditch the pre-workout but that's mainly a medical reason. This is actually a rookie mistake that many of us tend to do. We have the mentality that less is more when it comes to losing weight.. So the less we eat, the skinnier we will get. Sorry to break it to you chica, but that is not the case!

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, then you’ll know I injured my lower back 7 weeks ago. I’ve been through a very long journey with this one. Wanna know the funniest part? A couple weeks before the injury I was actually thinking to myself how I have never truly been injured. I’ve pulled a muscle here and there but thankfully it was fast to heal. Hahahaha am I not the funniest?! Talk about karma!

Its Summer time! that means short-shorts, bikini tops and ABS!
I usually get tons of requests from followers and clients to post more Ab content around this time. I am going to comply, but you have to remember that your abs won’t show unless you have low body fat. What does that mean? You have to lean out by entering into a caloric deficit, I can help you with that if you’d like to send me an email at monikapaezmanagement@gmail.com. You will also need to start incorporating cardio into your routines and hitting your macros daily.

I’ve been obsessing over joggers lately. I just love how comfortable they are yet you can look so chic and stylish. I found this set at Carbon38 and I knew I had to have it. I’m all about dressing up and looking stylish but honestly, I’m usually in sweatpants and just want to be comfortable.

I know that you may be really enjoying your workouts, you’re used to the schedule, and you’ve already got a routine going. Well that’s just the problem; it's routine! Once your body has adjusted to these motor pattern movements,you're not going to see the results you want. Another problem you may be having is that mentally, you’ve checked out. You’re just going through the movements and not really making any muscle/mind connections. That is why we have to Marie Kondo your workout and I’m here to help you with that!

If you’ve been following me on Instagram then you will know that I injured my lower back about 4 weeks ago. Well much to my dismay, I am still not recovered and things don’t seem to be getting any better. Now, I’ve pulled my back a couple times in the past but I’ve usually recovered in about a week or two. This time around, I’ve going to the physical therapist and I seem to have a pinch in my piriformis muscle. It just doesn’t seem to heal and I am starting to think there is more to this injury than I thought. Hopefully, by the time this post goes out I will know my answers and can share with you all.
