This summer in Austin has been pretty atypical. We have barely cracked 100 degrees. We got rain in July, so much rain in July. The Texas ground needed the rain, but it came in devastating floods.
Meanwhile, Texans travel. I have a client at Lake Como now, and a client at boot camp. One has been to Disneyland, and another to Disney World. I’ve never done either; I’m more of a camper.
But here we are: everyone’s life going in a different direction. The gym is hard to predict these days. It’ll be so slow one morning, and then crazy busy an hour later. I don’t understand the pattern of Austinites these days.
I Hope You Exercise
The one constant I hope you, and my clients keep, is exercise.
Like I mentioned here, there is a time for everything under the sun. A time to toil, a time to rest. A time to grieve and a time to heal.
Exercise can be a catalyst to all of the above. A healthy body feeds a healthy mind.
Your exercise might look different on vacation than at home or in a gym, but I hope you remember to keep something in your schedule. It can be a quick pushup-pullup-lunge circuit, or a walk on the beach. It can be a run if that’s what your heart needs, or a slow down & stretch session.

Let’s Exercise Together
If you need guidance or a push to get started, I’d love to help you. There are many ways to work together, and it’s called “personal” because it really is.
Ways to work together:
- 1:1 training where we work exactly on a custom plan for you
- Semi-private group training, where the group is 2-5 people with similar goals
- Online training where you do either a custom plan, or a team plan that that reflects your goals
If you’d like to get started, tell me a little bit more about you here, and I’ll be in touch within a day.
Wishing you happy summer days and peace!
