  This changed how I think about strength

  This past weekend, I spent time in a special training for fitness professionals... in preparation for the opening of ourMissFits Performance Labon 2/7. 😉 One message kept coming up for me - especially for us women: Working harder is not the same as getting stronger. You can sweat. You can push. You can show up consistently. And still feel stuck… sore… or like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to. Strength doesn’t come from effort alone. Strength comes from intention, setup, and progression. That’s why two people can do the same workout and get completely different results. One is just moving. The other is ....

  Monday isn’t the problem — it’s the reset

  Some people dread Mondays. I LOVE them. 😍 I know, I'm weird. But here’s a different way to look at Mondays: Every Monday is a reset button! It’s not about what didn’t go well last week. It’s not about guilt, regret, or “starting over” for the hundredth time. One of my favorite scriptures (Phil 3:13-14), is a great reminder of where my focus needs to be: “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on.” Monday is simply an invitation to: Pause Refocus Decide on your next step TOWARDS the direction you want to go! You don’t need a perfect week behind you to move forward. 😄 Just make a decision to ....

  Feeling Stuck With Fat Loss? It's Probably Not What You Think.

  If you’ve been showing up to workouts, putting in the effort, and still feel stuck when it comes to fat loss — you’re not alone. We see it all the time at Camp MissFits. And here's the truth: it might not be about how hard you're working. You’re likely already working hard. You’re probably juggling work, family, laundry, dinner, and somehow squeezing in your training sessions in between. So if your progress has stalled, it’s not a matter of willpower — it’s a matter of strategy. Here are three common things we see holding our ladies back: 1. Y ou’re not eating enough — or consistently enough. Yep. ....

  Your Summer Glow-Up Starts Now: How to Get Ready (Without Burning Out)

  As the days get longer and the sun starts to shine a little brighter, we’re reminded: summer is right around the corner. For many of us, that means more time outside, more social plans, and yes—maybe a little more motivation to feel our best.

Let’s break down why that advice is outdated, and what you should be doing instead. 🛑 Total Rest Can Set You Back Sure, your knee needs time to heal—but the rest of your body doesn’t! When you stop all activity, you lose strength, mobility, and circulation ....

  Is late-night eating bad? Maybe not!

  Eating late at night isn’t automatically bad for you, but it kinda depends on what you’re munching on and how often. If it’s a once-in-a-while thing, no biggie. But if it’s a regular habit, it can mess with your sleep, digestion, and maybe even your metabolism. 💖 When It's Okay Post-workout snack:If you work out in the evening, a small, protein-rich snack (like Greek yogurt or a boiled egg) can help with muscle recovery. Better sleep:Some foods, like almonds or a bit of turkey, contain melatonin or tryptophan, which can help you snooze better. 🚫 When It's Not So Great Weight gain creep:Regularly snacking on chips, chocolate, or ice cream before bed ....
