I Live On Instagram!

Another day, another platform highlighting masters athletes! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 . • • • • • • #Repost @themastersathletecollective • • • • • • Meet Debbie King. 43. Track and Field athlete and extremely accomplished competitor! Debbie competes in multiple track and field events including the 100 m, shot put and relays. You can follow her on Instagram at her handle @supafitmama. ⠀ ⠀ Debbie is the 2019 Canadian Indoor triple silver medalist (60m, 200m & shot put in 40-44 age group)⠀ as well as the 2019 Ontario Indoor double gold medalist (60m & 200m in 40-44 age group. She was a⠀ member of Canadian record holding 4 x 200m relay Jamcan Athletics team (W35 age group) Represented Canada at the 2017 NCCWMA World Regional Championships placing 5th in the 100m (40-44 age group) @jamcan_athletes. ⠀ ⠀ I just loved Debbie's words of wisdom: "We don’t have to feel limited by age, body size, background or any other factor. Similarly, we don’t need to feel limited by experience (or lack thereof) in certain areas. I encourage women especially, to explore a variety of sports and activities where they may discover and develop new strengths and communities. My participation in a broad variety of sports has given me the confidence and ability to tackle new terrains physically and in all aspects of life."⠀ ⠀ Debbie was an athlete up until university and it wasn't until her 30s that she revisited and found greater success in fitness and sport. At 40 she found herself ready to return to sprinting which combines my interest in training strength, power, speed and overall athleticism. And found she did! As a multiple age group and event record holder, I would say she's been pretty successful at it!!⠀ ⠀ Masters athletes are role models. Let's show off what the body is capable of and continue to show strength at all ages! Want to be featured?

The photo is a #throwback but the feature is brand new! . @oldladygains got my attention with their cheeky and accurate gym humour months ago and I've been double tapping their posts since 😂💛. Their "fun to wear apparel" and "Women You Should Meet" blog are all about celebrating and inspiring the masters athlete. . I recently shared my journey from 5Ks to figure competitions to sprinting🏃🏽💪🏽🎽, and answered thought-provoking questions about the future I see for myself and my daughter. Follow the link in my bio to learn more about me, my training and my advice for others. And while you're on the site, there are many other inspiring women you should meet 😉. . #mastersathlete #oldladygains . 📸: @dave_laus

When the shoot is fashion, not fitness, but you still be in leggings 😏. . #leggingsarelife #gymgirlproblems

This past Saturday had been marked on my calendar as the #RallyForEducation. It wasn't until I got home from the protest and went online that I learned it was also the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (#IDSDP). On the surface these may seem unrelated, but I quickly drew a connection. . That afternoon, I stood in Queen's Park among educators, parents and community groups to defend public education 📣📣📣. I watched proudly as my 9YO carried her sign and used her voice to speak out against the Conservative government's plans for province-wide cuts that threaten to hurt our most vulnerable children 🚫✂. That same day, organizations around the world celebrated of the power of sport to drive social change, community development, peace and understanding. . I drew a connection because growing up, sport was instrumental in me finding my voice and power 👧🏽🗯💪🏽. And now as an adult, it's largely through sport and fitness that I feel equipped to influence social change for young women of colour. I know I've been an example to my munchkin and other girls. And I see how participation in sport has contributed to my daughter's confidence. I'm not an Olympian and she doesn't consider herself an athlete but involvement in sport has helped each of us develop the courage and strength to fight for what we believe in. . #bethechange #proudmama #sportforlife

Lucky me won myself a Lucky Iron Fish! 🙌🏾🐟 If you've been plagued with #irondeficiency, especially through pregnancy or athletic training like I have, you understand why I'm excited to give this little kitchen tool a try. It's still new to me but here's what the company has to say about its benefits👇🏾 . #Repost @luckyironfish • • • • • • Iron deficiency is commonly treated with daily iron supplements. 💊 However, they only treat circulating (and not stored) iron, thus ☝️making the body dependent on the daily dose, ✌️and have many negative side effects such as nausea and constipation. 🤢 . . The Lucky Iron Fish, on the other hand, 1️⃣ is a simple and safe way to add iron to your food, 2️⃣ provides an appropriate amount of daily absorbable iron, and 3️⃣ has no side effects because it is 100% pure, natural iron. 🌱 . #luckyironfish #womenshealth

Yeeah... agreeing to workout with me almost always means agreeing to extra reps for post workout pics 📸#sorrynotsorry #workoutbuddy.😏😁 . Thanks for the passes @strive_life!

I could've spent a whole day doing this. Oh wait, I did 😊. Yesterday's workshop - part of the annual student STEAM conference at QVPS - focused on strengthening young bodies and minds through animal flow fundamentals and relaxation exercises👧🏼👦🏿🐾. It was INCREDIBLE to see the kids embrace the challenges of both, and a PLEASURE teaming up with @itsjenniferlau to deliver something new! GRATEFUL for the opportunity (and for the super cushy yoga mats provided by @niketoronto). KUDOS to the Jan and the QV organizers on an exemplary event filled with tons of valuable learning. . #animalflow #youngminds

Waiting for t-shirt weather like I was waiting for my hair to grow 🙄😁 (circa spring/summer '18) . #humpday #tshirtweather . 📸: @_gordon_gartrelle_

Yes, women are breaking down barriers in sport, but still face gender inequalities and discrimination. And as @vibe105to writer, @sia_papadopoulos, found during research for her article, the lack of representation for women of colour "can be easily noticed with a simple Google search of 'Canadian female athletes', where the feed is flooded with white women.". . When Sia reached out, I was more than happy to share my experiences and thoughts on achieving gender AND cultural diversity in sport. Swipe left ← and follow the link in my bio to see what I had to say, as well as the unfavorable stats on participation, media coverage, funding and leadership of girls and women in sport. . #womeninsport #representationmatters

Kicking off a couple weeks of fitness fun before I get back into track & field training 💪🏽🙌🏽. First stop - The @strive_life Athletic House. . Track is a year-round sport but I'm multi-sport athlete and all-round fitness lover at heart. I'd sprint, powerlift, play volleyball, try football, do hot yoga and learn to swim all at once if I could🎽🏋🏽🏐🏈🏊🏽. Of course, that's neither realistic nor conducive to reaching my track & field goals. Although I'm wholly committed to track, the fact is I'm not a pro so I can afford at least a little time between the indoor and outdoor seasons to indulge in other sources of training that complement by goals, keep me motivated, satisfy my need for change and make me smile. This approach may not be for everyone but it works for me. Thanks for the afternoon HIIT and pic @rodlugtenburg 😊👍🏾 . #mastersathlete #athletelife #lifeathlete

. Listened to my body 💬 It begged me for yoga 🙏🏾 Then thanked me profusely 😌 . #happybody #nofilter
