What’s new in July 2025?

Recovery Week: The Reset You Need (July 17th- July 22nd)

Recovery doesn’t mean slacking — it means strategic rest. It’s your chance to reduce training intensity, lower inflammation, sleep better, and mentally recharge. Use this week to scale back on volume, focus on mobility, and check in with your body. You’re not stepping back — you’re preparing to leap forward. Coach Nancy and her family are celebrating the wedding of Drew and Karis. I can’t wait to add another member officially into our family. 

The July Challenge: 4 Ways to Level Up

Here’s how you stay engaged and intentional:

1. Drink 80 Ounces of Water Daily

Hydration is the foundation of recovery. Every system in your body functions better when you’re well-hydrated — muscles repair faster, joints feel smoother, and energy stays high. Make it a game: track your ounces, carry your water bottle, and build the habit now.

2. 12 Gym Sessions in the Month

Totally doable, even with a lighter training load during recovery. Think consistency.

3. Try a New Exercise Progression

It’s easy to plateau when you repeat the same patterns. July is the ideal time to introduce a new progression — maybe it’s your first strict pull-up, a new squat variation, or leveling up your plank game. Progressions give your brain a goal and your body a new challenge. Not sure what you should be attempting – Coach Nancy (that’s me) can help.

4. Re-Evaluate Your Yearly Goal

We’re halfway through the year — are your goals still aligned with your lifestyle, passion, and priorities? 

• What’s working?
• What’s not?
• Do your daily actions support your big-picture goals?

Be honest, adjust if needed, and commit with clarity to the second half of the year.

Pro Tips for the Week:

• Journal your thoughts, especially around goal reevaluation.
• Stretch daily — even 5–10 minutes makes a difference.
• Turn off notifications and give your mind some quiet time.
• Try walking meditations or deep breathing post-workout.

Wrap-Up: Recovery Is Progress

Don’t mistake stillness for weakness. A smart recovery paired with focused challenges will move you forward faster than burnout ever will. So hydrate, reflect, move intentionally — and come back stronger than ever.

Let’s make July the month of strategic reset and powerful momentum. You in?
