OnCue Fitness

My personal training career started in March 2005 with this woman here, Barbara Nordling. She was 76 at the time. We became fast friends and kindred spirits…often showing up to the gym in the same color shirt. For 12 years we spent two workouts a week together and plenty of other friendship outings, as well. She continued her workouts after I moved away and we kept in touch with a phone call or two and Christmas cards. We were able to catch up in January 2020 as she embraced the next stage of her life, as she always did, in an assisted living home. She was still strong and able but willing to ‘let other people take care of me’ as she put it. Age never stopped her from anything…read about her if you have the time. It will inspire you.

Lifting heavy things is fun! Her face says it all!

Lifting weights does so much more than benefit your physical appearance. Increase confidence, self-esteem, immune function, heart health, hormone health…the list goes on.

Why do you lift weights?

Healthy plate

Chicken breast
Cottage cheese
Sweet peppers
Cherry tomatoes
Cucumber

Sprinkled with salt and pepper

We workout and my little Madelyn watches our every move! She’s a real stickler for proper form!

Have you ever tried grilled cauliflower?? Well, you should! I had a head of cauliflower that was just about past it’s prime so I chopped it up and threw it on the grill with some baby carrots, in foil pouches with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Served along side grilled BBQ chicken tenders. Healthy stuff that tastes yummy 👍🏼

Summer Lovin’

Getting our daily 10-15 min of sunshine for adequate Vitamin D production!

Some benefits of Vit D include...

-Healthy bones,
-immune system support
-cardiovascular support

And the list goes on! Go get some sun!! (But in moderation...like most things 😜)

Has many exercises can I quietly accomplish before the wild rumpus starts???

Walks in the sunshine carrying my 12 pound cuddle bug have been the best workouts during quarantine. And very sporadic spurts of at-home resistance training that also occasionally include this 12 pound cuddle bug. I think she got used to squats, lunges and step ups inside the belly and it’s transferred over. 💪🏼
