KEEP SHOWING UP

Keep showing up, even when your soul feels like it has no strength.

Training every day is not easy. I love to work out, but that doesn’t mean I wake up motivated each morning. There are days when the weight of life feels heavy, when grief or exhaustion makes even putting on my leggings feel like a battle.

I don’t go to the gym. I train at home, often surrounded by my kids, toys scattered on the floor, little voices asking for snacks, a baby crawling onto my mat. My workouts don’t look like perfect fitness videos. They’re messy, interrupted, real.

Some days, when my coaches ask how I’m doing, all I can say is: “I’m fine”, just to avoid going into details. Then I start my online class, pick up the weights, and begin to move. Because even in the chaos, even on the hardest days, movement saves me.

For me, working out isn’t just about physical strength. It’s about mental health. It’s my therapy, my outlet, the way I move pain through my body instead of letting it get stuck inside.

There’s something powerful about training in the middle of everyday life. On the days I feel weakest, showing up is an act of courage. On the days I feel strong, it’s a celebration of being alive.

Movement heals. It clears my head, calms my heart, and reminds me that even in grief, I am still here, still capable of showing up for myself, for my kids, for life.

So no, training every day is not always easy. But it is always worth it. Because every time I choose to move, I am choosing to keep going.
