30 MIN. HOME WORKOUT

Friend, when thinking about rushing back to a sweaty gym environment, are you feeling a little hesitant? If so, you're not alone. [Keep reading because we have a workout to share with you PLUS a reminder about how to sign up for our 7-day free trial.]

Although things are beginning to open up around here, we aren't planning to change our routine much at all. Over the past two months of sheltering in place, we've been facilitating small group training sessions virtually and plan to continue this service for our growing community for the foreseeable future.

There is something beautifully authentic and human about training virtually while our daily at-home life is happening around us. We love getting a sneak peak into our members' homes, and ironically, we are all closer together than ever before. Impromptu...

PICKLE JUICE, ANYONE?

Uncategorized May 25, 2020

There are two types of people in this world, friend: those who LOVE pickles and those who hate them. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground in terms of preference, right? We certainly have our sweet tooth, but if you crave savory, salty flavors as well, like sandwiches with jalapeños or peperoncinis, we are in the same camp. A touch of tang and a hint of sweetness at the same time lights us up like...

Our spirit animal, Remy from Ratatouille... "Now, imagine every great taste in the world being combined into infinite combinations. Tastes that no one has tried yet! Discoveries to be made!"

When I reached into the fridge the other day and couldn't find my favorite make-any-meal-taste-bomb-sauce, aka Brianna's Poppyseed Dressing, I knew I had to get creative. Then, I saw it... a random jar of pickles with just one left. My inner Remy starting thinking,...

SAUCY GLUTES

Uncategorized May 21, 2020

Friend, Did you catch us last week during our live Q&A session on Facebook? If so, may have heard a new term that has been circulating our group lately - saucy glutes. Yep, this is now a Green Door Life coined phrase that will be here to stay. But we digress. Let's revisit more specifically how to build a strong Gluteus Maximus! Several of our rock-star clients are reaching that point in their 12-week weight loss journey where they've lost an impressive amount of body fat (yes... even during a pandemic) and are ready to start focusing on muscle-building goals. We start off them off with full-body, fat-burning workouts delivered in our training app, but some people want to add a little volume or shape to a specific body part once they reach their initial goals. When we look at developing certain muscles in the body, it's important to take into account a few things:

1. Are you building for size, shape, or performance?

2. What kind of...

Hi friend!

Low carb chips - for real!

Uncategorized May 18, 2020

So, have you been channeling your inner chef lately?

Most of you know that we're all about batch cooking and meal prepping. But our new weekend pastime has transitioned into trying new foods and recipes in an attempt to keep the neverending at-home dining experience as fresh as possible.

While grocery shopping last week, I decided to play a game and searched for the ugliest, weirdest looking vegetable... enter, Celery Root aka Celeriac.

Looks Can Be Deceiving...

Truthfully, I had no idea of how to cook and prepare this vegetable, let alone how it would taste, but obviously I was up for much-needed novelty! Can you relate?

We roasted them in the oven alongside our sweet potato rounds and discovered the most amazing, unintended result. The sliced celery root came out tasting like delicious, crunchy chips with just the right amount of salt! But a very low carb chip at that.

Besides the...

We almost gave up.

We almost threw in the towel.

There are only two of us running the show.

One of us was suddenly thrown into full-time home-schooling and care-taking while trying to work - a challenge that many parents have also encountered.

The other jumped into crisis management mode to fill the void while holding space for our community during this unprecedented time.

And yet, here we are.

We've continued to push ourselves so hard these past 6 weeks, not only expanding our online services to support the new normal, but mostly to create something new... something that we feel so passionate about, that we did it anyway despite the odds stacking against us.

Our blood, sweat, and many, many, tears have culminated into an offering that we stand by wholeheartedly with absolute pride and gratitude.

In collaboration with a vast network of our expert practitioners and like-minded coaches, we're honored to offer this service for the first time ever to our...

COCOONING AT HOME

Uncategorized Apr 22, 2020

It isn’t every day that we are given an opportunity to be present with ourselves for such an extended amount of time. Even if we've tried to ignore what has been coming up, we don't have the same routines, activities, and obligations that once kept us in the dark.

So, what happens when we confront something?

We can: like what we see and continue as is, dislike what we see and attempt to improve our situation, or dislike what we see and use compensatory action to avoid the experience altogether.

The world will always have ebbs and flows of challenges, but for us, this wave, albeit a big one, is one for surfing. We don't know when this will pass, nor do we know if life will ever be the same. If you feel like you've been held underwater and bashed by the intensity of a turbulent sea, why not grab your board and ride on top of it toward calmer water?

This weekend, we invite you to join us in facing what may have been neglected in the past - be it...

FORGET NETFLIX

Uncategorized Apr 09, 2020

Just kidding! We're fully binge watching Tiger King and Love Is Blind. But in all seriousness, we've also been riding the waves of this strange time together through collective meditation, breathing, and movement. We've found these pillars of health to be an anchor throughout the day, and we want to share them with you. You can find several videos like the one below in our Facebook group and YouTube channel.

Because we've received such incredible feedback from so many of you about the benefits of joining together to collectively meditate and engage in breathing techniques, we're pleased to share a new offering! Start your mornings off with guided meditation and DMT breathing with Shannon Morse and Ody Andrianos! Your membership will include replays of our live sessions which you can access anytime. Let's Meditate

We're also continuing to host small group personal training sessions five days a week! Come train with the one and only Shannon Morse and...
