In this week's dose of motivation, I want to share a funny and inspiring story about how some of my incredible clients accidentally stumbled into their bikini bodies Yeah, you heard that right – accidentally! See, when I work with clients, even if their goal is to tone-up, lose fat, or get lean, I always encourage them to shift their perspective. It's all about getting stronger and celebrating those non-scale victories!

Why? Because it's an absolute blast! You see, two of my clients initially started their journey with the simple goal of conquering their first pull-up. But guess what happened after just three months of our kickass collaboration? They nailed not only their FIRST pull-up but also multiple pull-ups and even towel pull-ups! Talk about a celebration!

And here's the cherry on top – both of them shared something incredible. Along the way, they slipped back into their old jeans from college (hello, progress!), felt confident enough to rock a bikini at the...

Happy Monday!

Guess what? I've got some exciting news to share with you. Drumroll, please...

I'd like you all to meet the newest addition to my family – my adorable puppy, Pepper!

For those of you who have been following my journey, you know that I've been wanting a furry companion for a LONG time. After losing my beloved cat, Felix, who had been with me through thick and thin for 18 amazing years, I was heartbroken. Felix was more than just a pet; she was my sassy best friend, my confidant, and my constant companion from middle school to college. I still think about her every single week.

The decision to get a dog had been weighing on my mind for years. Some people warned me against it, while others couldn't stop raving about how it would be the best decision of my life. I spent so long caught up in what everyone else was saying that I forgot to listen to my own heart.

But finally, I decided to take the leap and welcome this little cutie into my life. And let me tell you,...

Happy Monday, Crew!

Many of us believe that the more we do, the more successful we'll be. We fear that taking...

Happy Monday!

In today's blog, we're delving into the unexpected challenges that life throws our way, much like when you're making strides toward that coveted pull-up, and you might find yourself grappling with unwelcome elbow pain.. We've all been there – that frustrating moment of wondering, "What now?"

When it comes to handling life's unexpected curveballs, remember these three things:

Stay Adaptable: Just like in training, flexibility is key. Adapt to the changes and keep moving forward, even if it means adjusting your course.

Lean on Your Support System: Whether it's me, the Pull-Up Revolution community, or friends and family, remember you're not alone. Share your challenges and triumphs – we're here for you.

Embrace the Challenge: Life's curveballs often come with lessons. Embrace the challenge, learn from it, and let it fuel your growth.

But fear not!

I've been listening closely to your stories, your struggles, and your triumphs, and I've got your...

I moved the TV over in my Airbnb so I could hang on the staircase....

On this weeks, Angela's weird and crazy, I didn't put potatoes under my armpits like I did last week... BUT I did hang on my Airbnd staircase to "hang out" and it literally had the internet FREAKING out at me....DON'T break the TV!

And let me tell you no TV's were harmed during these hangs ‍...

So many people ask me... Angela...how long do you hang for? What are the benefits? Why are you even doing this! So I created a *NEW and improved hang challenge PDF here* with videos...

Happy Monday!

Mondays might come with their challenges, but guess what?

You've got the strength and determination to take on whatever comes your way.

Remember, it's the small steps that make the biggest impact on our journey to greatness. Let's tackle this week head-on and show the world what we're made of!

Now, let's dive into a funny (and hopefully relatable) story – my Inside Out & Backwards Shorts saga!

Yep, you read that right. Every week, without fail, I manage to rock either inside-out or backwards shorts.

And believe me, it's not intentional – I swear! ‍

It's become a running joke amongst my friends and family. But you know what? It got me thinking about how small, quirky things can lead to something BIG.

Remember that scene from Mean Girls when Regina George had holes in her top and suddenly everyone was doing it?

Well, maybe my Inside Out & Backwards Shorts could become a trend – who knows?

The point is, life throws these little curveballs at...

Today, I want to address a common misconception that holds many back...and I've been hearing it A LOT lately.

the belief that you must wait until you're "strong enough" to start working on pull-ups ‍....

sound familiar....and if doesn't here's some other similar relatable thoughts...

"I'll start mediating...when I am less anxious"

"I'll start working out more consistently when I have more energy"

"I'll start taking care of myself...after I take care of...

Happy Monday! 

Today, I want to talk about something that's often seen as a stumbling block, but can actually be a stepping stone on your path to success: failure.

We live in a society that often places too much emphasis on success and winning, and very little on the journey it takes to get there.‍

But the truth is, failure is an integral part of growth and achievement. As an American Ninja Warrior and coach of the Pull-up Revolution, I've seen countless women transform their lives by conquering their first pull-up. And guess what? None of them got it on the first try.

Failure teaches us invaluable lessons, helps us to recalibrate our strategies, and builds resilience like nothing else. It's in those moments of struggle that we truly find out what we're made of.  

I'm giving you permission to FAIL... and celebrate it.

I recently took an improv class, and it had me thinking—why don't we celebrate our failures more often?

In that class, we were encouraged to...
