I know, I talk a lot about building strength and expressing power…🗣️🗣️
But developing power is not only about being explosive. It’s also about preparing the body to receive, absorb and decelerate force (and to stay in control while doing it)

And what does this have to do with performance?
- In dynamic movement, we don’t just produce force, we constantly have to absorb it, control it and redirect it.
- The better we can decelerate and control force, the better prepared we are to produce force again efficiently.
THAT’S PART OF DEVELOPING POWER TOO!!

Sounds like the kind of training you’re looking for? Let’s chat!

A little recap from yesterday.
Lately, my training has been all about hybrid racing… and I think it’s safe to say I found a new passion ❤️

There’s something about training for a challenge, testing yourself and seeing what your body is capable of that I absolutely love.

Already looking forward to the next one Spartan DEKA / September 2026🔥
P.S. A special thank you to my husband for his incredible and essential support, Love tou! 😘

YOU DON’T HAVE TO COMPETE!
- You can simply want a stronger, more capable body that’s prepared for life.

Today’s goal was to turn strength into power.

✔️ Barbell Press - Strength
✔️ Push Press - Power
✔️ Plyo Push-up - Explosiveness

First, we build strength. Then, we teach the body how to use it with speed and control.

👉🏼 Because training is more than aesthetics. It’s about building physical abilities that make a difference both inside and outside the gym

Honest question: Do you warm up before you run, or do you use the first few minutes of your run as your warm-up? 🤔
👉🏼 I prefer to spend 5 minutes getting my body ready first. A few dynamic movements can help prepare your joints, muscles, and nervous system before the first step. It doesn’t have to be long, but it can make your run feel much better and even help improve your performance 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

The timer is the same for everyone, but the exercises, the intensity, and the coaching are tailored to each client 💁🏻‍♀️
Carlinha has been doing an amazing job in training lately! 👏🔥 Friday on fire 🔥🔥

I really can’t complain.
Training isn’t a punishment for what I ate.
It’s not something I have to “earn” either.
It’s simply part of who I am 🤩
I love feeling strong,
I love taking care of my body,
I love knowing my body is capable of taking me wherever I want to go…
I genuinely enjoy the process ❣️
