  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 4-6 cups arugula
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, ends trimmed if desired
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

I've been having a lot of conversations with clien I've been having a lot of conversations with clients about how it feels to step out of a will power mindset and instead, approach your healthy lifestyle changes from a place of AWARENESS. 🌟 I think it's a really impactful shift, so wanted to share some of the ideas with you! ⁠
:⁠
What comes to mind when you think of changing unhealthy habits? Resisting certain foods? Forcing yourself to go to the gym? Restricting alcohol? Giving up what you want for what you HAVE to do???
:
All of these beliefs have an energy of requiring will power, discipline and self control to “improve yourself”. This mindset takes away your power and gives it all to whatever it is you are working ⁠to change (ie. the food, the alcohol, the activity).
:
What if rather than restricting or resisting, you started paying attention to how certain foods, activities and things make you feel? Shifting your focus to “knowing yourself" vs. “controlling yourself” gives all of the power back to you! 👊🏽
:
Empower yourself by deciding what you put in your body and how you spend your time based on how it makes you feel. Tune in to your body’s signals and reactions and be aware of how working out, eating healthy, getting enough sleep, not drinking, etc. feels. Knowing yourself and your body makes it so much easier to choose the things that will nourish you mind, body, soul!🙏🏽 
:
What do you think? Is it easier for you to make healthy changes from having awareness vs. willpower? Would love to hear from you guys on this!👇🏽 xo 💕

Good morning loves! Just wanted to hop on here qui Good morning loves! Just wanted to hop on here quick and give you an update on BbE Group Fitness classes at @clubform.⁠⁠
:⁠⁠
I've gotten a bunch of emails and questions and want to make sure you all know what is going on.⁠⁠
:⁠⁠
We are re-working the Group Fitness program at Form and for the time being I will not be doing in-person classes. With Covid restrictions the space is needed for personal training. Plus my schedule has gotten really "tight" and it is helpful for me to be able open up those times for training.⁠⁠
:⁠⁠
I will continue to post SWEAT, LIFT and CORE workouts on Club Form and Body by Emilee YouTube. I am excited to focus on designing these workouts specifically for "home workouts". I am going to keep the equipment super simple and make them easier to do at home. I will also be playing around with the formats a little bit and doing some shorter workouts as well as some more body part focused ones (ie. Booty and Legs, Arms, etc.). ⁠⁠
:
New workouts will go up on Monday mornings and I will be posting 6 workouts a month (2 of each format).
:⁠⁠
If you have been doing the YouTube workouts, I think you're going to love this shift! If you are missing the in-person classes...don't worry! I'll bring them back at some point...better than ever!⁠ 💕💪🏽⁠
:⁠⁠
Let me know if you have any questions on anything! Excited to keep the online workouts going...you know sweat-ing, lift-ing and getting in that core with you guys is my favorite! 🙏🏽xo⁠💖⁠
