Kalyn Rae Movement

Long emotional post coming up; buckle in or scroll on by, no hard feelings either way 💕
Social media is hard. It can be toxic. It can fuel mean thoughts, obsessions, unhealthy eating habits, lack of sleep, toxic comparison, relationship obstacles, etc etc etc. I’m speaking from experience here. I know all about the late nights you spend scrolling through hundreds of pictures of beautiful people in beautiful places with beautiful lives, I know logically you know that social media is a “highlight reel” and I know that doesn’t stop your emotional human brain from feeling how you feel. As a personal trainer I’ve been wildly conflicted about how to utilize social media to market myself without adding to the toxic culture. How to maintain my passion for movement without feeling like I have to create content every single time I do something for myself. I’ve overthought it to the point of “analysis paralysis” where I end up avoiding it altogether and lemme tell ya, I miss moving for the sake of moving. I miss running for the sake of just feeling my body run. Tonight I put on some music and let myself move, no self judgment, no worrying about technique, no thinking allowed at all. You guys, it was so therapeutic. It reminded me why I do this, why I want to help other people find movement. I am so passionate about getting OUT of your head and into your BODY, feeling present and strong and creative and vulnerable. That’s what this whole thing is about for me. Movement is emotion, movement is strength, movement is honesty.
From now on I want my focus in both my life and my social media to be on sharing authenticity and genuine human experience. Of course there were more “aesthetic” or “technique focused” pictures I could’ve shared but these ones make me smile because I’m just living in my body and enjoying it! We don’t have to delete all social media when we feel icky, let’s just change the content. If you feel uncomfortable dancing, if you hate going to the gym because people might look at you, I am your girl!! Let me be a safe space for you to see what your body can do!!

Overnight oats are my favorite on the go breakfast - incredibly easy, filling, and yummy 😋
Just put 1/2 c of oats in a cup or jar and cover with milk of your choice. I added chia seeds and used unsweetened almond milk. Leave in the fridge overnight and top with fresh fruit & nuts in the morning! I topped mine with honey, almonds, and fresh blackberries. ✨
I have an early exam this morning so I knew I’d need something quick and easy that would keep me full. These oats literally just take a minute or two to top and you’re out 🙌🏻
What’re your favorite toppings??

Before vs. after a good workout 🤣🖤
