She Doesn't Quit On Herself

Corey is a big believer in showing up for herself when it comes to fitness. She captioned the Instagram post, “Every time you quit on yourself, you’re reinforcing the belief that *you’re not worth the effort.* And that belief is what keeps you stuck. The key to real progress isn’t some magic motivation. It’s building trust with yourself by keeping the small promises you make every day. Show up, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.”

She Runs On The Treadmill

In her Instagram video, Corey is seen on the treadmill. According to Healthy Talbot, doing this has a lot of benefits. “Jogging or running on a treadmill helps to lose weight as well as burn fat quickly and effectively. Yet it’s easier on your knees and joints than outdoor running. This is the most popular advantage of working out on a treadmill workouts. Besides, these workouts burn calories at a faster rate than other aerobic exercises. To burn calories even faster, you just need to run longer and faster on the machine.”

She Takes Breaks

While Corey is consistent with her fitness, she also makes sure to take breaks to recover. Corye talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “Did you know...Running less *can* actually make you a better runner‼️Back when I first started, I thought more miles were the only way to get better. But after years of overtraining, burnout, and injuries, I’ve learned that strength training and smarter running made all the difference: 💪 Faster recovery 🚀 My endurance and speed improved 🛡️ Stay injury-free 🏅This EXACT approach helped me qualify for the Boston Marathon Now, I’m training for my 15th marathon—(my first in 8 years)—and I’ve never felt stronger. If you’re just starting your running journey (or trying to fall back in love with it), you don’t have to do it the hard way like I did.”

She Cooks Healthy Meals

Corey makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She makes a lot of her own meals. Corey shared this video on Instagram of herself making a burrito. She captioned it, “THE BEST BREAKFAST BURRITOS 🌮As a Dietitian, I fully believe healthy eating doesn't have to be boring ✋ I love burritos as they are SO easily customizable for your own preferences and macronutrient needs. INGREDIENTS: (per 1 Burrito): 1 Mission Sun Dried Tomato Wrap (you can use whole wheat or low carb). 3 serv Egg Beaters (or you can sub whole eggs 🍳). 1/2 Chicken Sausage Link. 1/4 cup roma tomato, diced. 1/4 green bell pepper, diced. 1/8 red onion, diced. 14 grams servings lite Mexican cheese. 4 Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs (optional but adds a nice texture). Creamy Sirracha sauce (optional). DIRECTIONS: •Add sweet potato puffs to air fryer (9 mins, 400 F) •chop tomato, peppers, onion, and sausage •cook veggies and sausage in a pan •add eggs to pan and cook until done •wrap everything in your burrito + cheese, and the sweet potato puffs then add to the air fryer to crisp for 3 mins! Then it's ready to eat and enjoy. I like to dip mine in some creamy sriracha.”

She Does Leg Workouts

Corey doesn’t skip leg day. In this Instagram video, she is seen doing workouts like lunges and abductors. Corey captioned the post, “Who’s ready to build their booty shelf? 🍑✨ Weak glutes? 🚨 They’re not just a missed gym goal—they can lead to: 👉 Poor posture 🪑 👉 Back pain 😖 👉 Knee strain 🦵 👉 Hip instability 😬 But when you focus on building strong glutes, the benefits are huge! As a runner, strong glutes mean: 🏃♀️ Better stride power (hello, faster splits!) ⛰️ Climbing hills with ease (no more burning quads) 🛡️ Reduced risk of injuries like IT band syndrome and shin splints 🔄 Better running efficiency for endurance. For the average gym-goer? Strong glutes = improved balance, stronger lifts, and greater mobility. Whether you’re squatting, lunging, or just living life, your glutes are the MVP of lower-body strength and stability. I’m on my journey to stronger cheeks this year so if you’re ready to grow buns of steel and take your workouts to the next level, make sure to follow & let’s build that booty shelf together 🤝”
