“Not all angels have wings...some have scrubs."

“Not all angels have wings...some have scrubs." 💛💛 #thankyoufrontline 🙏🏻Thank you to ALL the essential workers risking their health to save lives during this crazy time. As a former ICU nurse my heart goes out to all of you! There aren’t enough words of appreciation that can be spoken for all you are doing to get us through this. To show my support and say thank you I sent a few gift cards for coffee to some of my favorite ICU nurses ☕️ Like I said there’s no amount of thanks for all that you are doing but I wanted show in a small way how thankful I truly am ✨ .
.
.
Tagging two of my favorite girls - @alaynaflan & @dancing.for.donuts to say #thankyoufrontline your own way this week! 💓 .

PS if you look through the photos you may see a baby nurse Becky in there- circa 2011 👩🏻‍⚕️ #becksliveshealthy #covid19 #covidkindness

I wanted to share a few affirmations with you guys

I wanted to share a few affirmations with you guys that have been helping me lately that might resonate with some of you- either now or in the future 💓.
.
. ✨I am joy.
✨ I deserve to feel fulfilled.
✨ I can't wait to see what amazing thing is going to pop up around the corner.
✨ I'm so grateful for my current challenges and look forward to learning and growing from them. #becksliveshealthy

Right now with everything going on it’s importan

Right now with everything going on it’s important for me to keep somewhat of a daily routine. I’m still working out first thing in the morning and making sure I get outside for fresh air and walks with the dogs everyday 💪🏻☀️ I’m thankful I’ve had my @garminfitness Venu to keep track of how much I sleep I get at night, my stress levels, and steps that I’m taking daily. Despite keeping somewhat of a normal routine, I’ve been spending a lot more time on the couch binge watching Criminal Minds and All American. That’s totally fine, but I’m glad I’ve had my GARMIN to remind me when it’s time to get up and move 🤸🏻‍♀️ I’ve embraced this time to rest and listen to my body but I’ve also made it a priority to move and get outside for my mental and physical health 🙌🏻 Have you guys been getting outside more for walks or runs the last 2 weeks?! 🍃 #becksliveshealthy #garminambassador #garminfitness

It’s time for a GIVEAWAY closed! 🎉🎉
I’ve partnered with CALIA by Carrie Underwood for an amazing giveaway to celebrate their 5 year anniversary! But before we get into that, as many of you know I’ve transitioned from running to mostly strength training in the past year and a half. After running several full marathons in the last four years, it was time to give my body and my knee a break. I still enjoy doing cardio, but my main focus has been lifting weights. It’s become my ME time and my favorite way to start the day! Even during this quarantine, working out and lifting has been a huge outlet for me. I have definitely felt a little anxious at times about all of this, so it’s been important for me to set aside time to workout and sweat out some of the stress! 💪🏻
—
When I’m working out it’s important for me to wear something comfortable and easy to move in! I’ve been loving @caliabycarrie Power Sculpt Perforated 7/8 Tights. They’re high- waisted and super flattering, plus they don’t fall down, which is one of the things I look for the most in leggings. I tend to heat up real fast when I’m working out too, that’s why their Power Sculpt Crop Top is perfect to wear! Plus, it’s super cute! ☺️ Now, let’s finally get into the GIVEAWAY! One lucky person will win up to $100 in CALIA by Carrie Underwood product of their choosing! To enter this giveaway:

Even though it’s been hard being thousands of miles away from my family during this time, I’m so lucky I have Leo by my side at home. I look forward to our daily walks by the beach and nights at home snuggling on the couch. I’ve been binge watching Netflix every night while enjoying one of my favorite snacks, @perfectbar Dark Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Cups 🍫 With up to 8 grams of whole food protein and over 20 superfoods, I can enjoy a sweet treat that’s good for you! 🙌🏻 Right now I’m trying to focus on the little things that make me happy, like spending time with Leo and having a refrigerated peanut butter cup every night ☺️ What’s something you’ve been enjoying while being home?! ✨ #itsjustperfect #perfectbar

MOBILITY:
It’s time to stretch! 🤸🏻‍♂️ Most of you are doing new workouts at home or running outside, so you may be more sore than you’re used to! It’s important to make sure you’re taking the time to stretch to prevent injury! Today I’m sharing a mobility routine that’s very similar to the one in my workout guide. This is great for rest days or before or after your workout! 💪🏻 Repeat circuit 2x through ⚡️
1. Active hamstrings 2x10
2. Dynamic X- overs 2x10
3. T- spine 2x10
4. Scorpion stretch 2x10
5. Kneeling hip flexor
6. Internal rotation 2x10
7. External rotation 2x10
8. Spider stretch 2x10
9. Prone swimmers 2x10
10. Full body squat 2x10 ✨ PS I sped this video up a little bit- make sure to hold each stretch for 5-10 seconds! #becksliveshealthy @shiftsouthbay

Finally sharing my new bedroom! ✨ I thought it was appropriate since I’ll be spending more time in here the next few weeks. I’ve moved 5x since I came out to California 6 years ago. I never bought new furniture or decorations for any of my places. Maybe a few things here and there, but nothing big. When I moved this past November I decided that it was time to spend some money and make my place feel like home. I didn’t know where to start though and didn’t really know what my decor style was. I heard about @thehavenly from a friend and signed up immediately.
.
.
I took a style quiz and was given a list of designers to pick from based on my style. I chose @havenly.alexandra - who also helped me with my living room and kitchen! I’m so happy with how everything came out. After all these moves and never having anything new or of my own I feel so lucky to be able to call this place home 💛 #becksliveshealthy

AT HOME CORE & LOWER BODY WORKOUT ⚡️⚡️My c

AT HOME CORE & LOWER BODY WORKOUT ⚡️⚡️My core was on fire during this one! 🔥 Most of you guys requested body weight workouts with minimal equipment— all you need for this one is a light/ medium resistance band and sliders! If you do have sliders at home, that’s ok. Grab a pair of socks, dish towels, or paper plates. Let me know if you want to see workouts on my feed more 💪🏻 Hoping to release another guide again in the future too! ☺️ .
.
.
CORE:
1. Banded slider Ts - 4x10 each
2. Banded slider circles - 4x 10 each
3. Tempo running man - 4x 30 secs
4. Single leg jackknife - diagonal jackknife - circles 4x 5 each .
LOWER BODY:
1. Pop our squats 4x15
2. Reverse lunge to flex 4x10/ side
3. Lateral stationary lunges 4x10/ side
4. Power lunges 4x10 each

Ive been kind of feeling a little stir crazy the last few days. I’m used to working from home but I don’t have a ton of work to do right now. I decided to brainstorm some new fun ideas for home:
.
.
.
1. Unsubscribe from unwanted emails- time consuming but worth it! 🙌🏻
2. Start planning a future vacation- I’ve been putting together my Bali Pinterest board☀️.
3. Runners- plan your race schedule for next year! Some races that are on my list for the future include- CIM, Chicago (again), another Revel race 🏃🏻‍♀️
4. Rearrange your bedroom or living room
5. Make some fun new playlists 🎵
6. Happy hour over face time with your best friend or sister🍷
7. Breakfast in bed! 🥞🍌What are you guys doing to stay busy?! ✨#becksliveshealthy.

TIPS FOR WORKING OUT AT HOME 💪🏻💪🏻With

TIPS FOR WORKING OUT AT HOME 💪🏻💪🏻With gyms mandated to close in most places across the country, it seems that we have no other choice than to work out at home! It can be a bit of a challenge for some of us who are used to the structured setting of a gym or studio. Without anyone telling us what to do and without the machines and equipment we’re used to, getting motivated and staying on track can be difficult at first. I thought it would be beneficial to share some tips stay motivated to workout at home for the next few weeks 👊🏻.
.
.
1. Make a workout schedule for the week. Write it down or add it to your google calendar!
2. Throw your favorite workout gear on first thing in the morning to help get you in the right mindset- that way you’ll have no excuses to not 🏋🏻‍♀️
3. Create a dedicated space to workout. Just because you live in an apartment or small place (like me) doesn’t mean you can’t do these workouts. Head down to your basement, out to your garage, or move some furniture around to create space! You don’t need a ton of room.
4. Limit distractions- make sure your place is clean prior to working out (clothes are put away, dishes aren’t piled up, etc) and put your phone on “Do Not Disturb.” I know that if I have a pile of dishes, my bed isn’t made, and texts are going off on my phone, I’ll stop multiple times during my workout 😬
5. Mix it up! Working out inside at home 5x week can get pretty boring. Alternate strength and cardio days. Don’t have a treadmill or spin bike?! Heading outdoors for a run, walk, or bike ride are all options too, plus fresh air is always nice! ☀️
6. Workout with a group of friends! What do I mean by this? Create a small group and keep each other accountable through text messages or Instagram group chats. Check in everyday with what workout you’re doing! 👯‍♀️ Any other tips?! Leave them below! ✨ #becksliveshealthy
