Advancing Happy: Yellow Rose Fitness

It's the second week of 2025 ... how are you doing?  Let's keep it going. Let's start thinking about how we're going to be acting in 2055, and utilize that thought process for 2025.  We believe in you! #AdvancingHappy

On this not-so-quick episode of the Daily Happy QuickCast, Clark sits down with Dr. Tyler Humphrey, owner of BulletProof Physical Therapy to chat all things strength, PT, injuries, recovery ... and how you should STOP rolling your IT band. Enjoy! #AdvancingHappy

In 2025, let's ditch complicated and unnecessarily difficult routines and protocols, and focus in on the basics that we know will help us live our best, healthiest, and happiest lives. #AdvancingHappy

After a hiatus, it's time to get back to things!  Let's have a big 2025, Yellow Rose! #AdvancingHappy

This weekend, go for a ruck! A ruck is simply a weighted walk. Grab a backpack, throw in some weights, and get after it. 1-2 miles is a great starting point, and go for this on Saturday or Sunday... or both! You'll be glad you did! #AdvancingHappy

It's Thursday, which means it's time to hear about some dumb things coach Clark used to say.  This week, "No days off." #AdvancingHappy

Do you really need to go into January 1st accepting that you gained weight during the holidays? Absolutely not. Let's get a reminder from Coach Clark about this as we work our way through December. #HappyEating #AdvancingHappy

Right now is the best time to join a gym or start a new program. Seriously. Busy holiday season? THE BEST TIME TO START. Listen for the reasons why.  #AdvancingHappy

It's really, *really* holiday season now. Coach Clark has 3 ways (kind of) you could choose to handle the holidays. But what's most important? You going into the holidays with whatever mindset and trades you're willing to make. Don't wake up on January 1st wondering what happened the past 6 weeks. Let's make a plan, accept the plan, execute the plan, and keep moving forwar...

Coach Clark recently ran an Ultra Marathon in Georgetown, Texas, and he's here to go through it with you so you can experience it a bit, and see if it's something you might want to do one day! Either way, enjoy this longer episode! #AdvancingHappy

Happy Birthday, Yellow Rose. We're 8 years old today, and Coach Clark has some things he wants to say. Spoiler alert, there are tears.  #AdvancingHappy

A quick reminder for you today to take action. Action will always be better than procrastination. #AdvancingHappy

It's Thursday, which means it's time for another round of "dumb things (Clark) used to say as a trainer)." This week, we're talking about burning fat while training on an empty stomach. Turns out, that was a dumb thing he used to say. #AdvancingHappy

We've been wavering on consistency here ... but that's OK. What matters most is that we give ourselves some grace, get back to it, and then try and set ourselves up for success with systems and strategies to get back to your consistency. Today we chat a bit about self-care, and give you some ideas on what it might look like for you if you're feeling particularly stressed out or upse...

Tracking your food doesn't have to be thought of as "obsessive" or "unhealthy." All we're doing is trying to bring awareness to what you're trying to accomplish. We need to know data, amounts, trends, patterns... all of that fun stuff. It's not unhealthy to track your finances if you're trying to get into a better spot, and it's definitely not unhe...

Today, we are so pleased to have Dr. Margaret Archer from Arrow PT on the QuickCast today for a not-so-QuickCast about all things Pelvic Floor. Dr. Margaret and Coach Clark chat about what is the pelvic floor, signs of dysfunction, how you can self repair, when you should see a specialist, and all of the things that might feel like taboo these days when it comes to the pelvic floor.  Enjoy this on...

Welcome back to Thursday, which means it's time to talk about dumb things that Coach Clark used to say as a trainer. Ever heard someone say, "Don't let your knees go over your toes?" Well, that's a dumb thing to say. #AdvancingHappy

Meal prep can be super overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. A staple for Coach Clark and Rachel? Just prepping a protein source, and scavenging for carbs and fat sources at the time of the meal. Don't make it more difficult than it needs to be! Keep it simple! #AdvancingHappy

We like being intentional about things. This week? Let's be intentional about our sleep! It's one of the most important things we can be intentional with! #AdvancingHappy

Did you notice we were absent last week? It was a necessary break! But now we're back and ready to roll. Here's our "Take a break" protocol! #AdvancingHappy

Change is hard, but bringing willingness to the table makes it a ton easier. Let's make it happen! #advancinghappy

In today's episode, Coach Clark talks about one of the dumb things he used to say as a trainer. Unfortunately, you still see this perpetuated everywhere. Cardio is an amazing tool to build your aerobic capacity and cardiovascular health, but it should not be viewed (or intentionally used) as a vehicle for fat loss. #AdvancingHappy

We have 91 days until January 1... so let's get some good things done! Let's identify and pick 3 goals (or rocks) and focus on those for the remainder of the year. Not 4, not 5. Just 3. You can do it! #AdvancingHappy

Coach Clark shares some thoughts from a run yesterday. Whatever you want to do, you can do it. So let's do it! #AdvancingHappy

Don't fall for complexity bias. Keep it simple, and keep doing it often. The basics will always get you there!
