Real Food, Real Muscle: A Fitness Coach's Take on the GLP-1 Movement

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:49 GMT

Everyone's arguing about whether GLP-1 medications are good or bad. Corry Matthews says that's the wrong question entirely. In this takeover episode, the 25-year fitness veteran and NPC bodybuilding promoter breaks down what actually matters for women in perimenopause and menopause, whether they're using medication or not: muscle, strength, real food, and habits that hold up for the next twenty years. Corry shares what she's seeing in her coaching practice, why so many women have swapped real meals for protein bars and shakes, and why no medication can build the foundation your body needs long term.

Two Extremes That Make Pain Worse (And What To Do Instead)

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Think avoiding pain or pushing through it are your only two options? What if we told you both approaches backfire, and the real answer is something else? In this More Movement Please takeover episode, physical therapist and pain science educator Jen Uschold breaks down why movement matters so much for people navigating chronic pain. She explains the two extremes that tend to make pain worse (total avoidance and the "no pain, no gain" mindset), and introduces pacing and graded exposure as the middle path that actually helps your nervous system calm down. Jen shares how something as small as one or two minutes of walking can be a real starting point, plus a story about a client who went from that tiny first step to hiking across three continents. If you've ever felt stuck between doing nothing and doing too much, this episode might just change how you think about moving your body.

What Babies Know About Movement That We Forgot

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Babies never worry about how their bodies look. They just eat when they're hungry, stop when they're full, and move because it feels good. In this episode, Ashley shares a voice note from Shirley Billigmeier, founder of Energetics, who breaks down why we're born knowing exactly how to listen to our bodies, and how life slowly teaches us to ignore that wisdom. Shirley talks about trusting your own signals over outside noise, why nutrition research keeps flip-flopping, and how reconnecting with your natural instincts can bring the joy back into eating and moving. Ashley adds her own take on how small daily choices, like what you pack for a road trip, train your brain toward better habits over time. If you've ever felt disconnected from your own hunger, fullness, or desire to move, this one is for you.

Your Brain on Movement: Why It's Not Just About Your Body

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 13:00:00 GMT

What if a real benefit of movement has nothing to do with your body? Fit-ology founder Jessica Covington joins More Movement Please to explain why movement is actually brain care, boosting focus, mood, and motivation in ways that have nothing to do with changing how you look.

Listen as Jessica breaks down the connection between movement and the brain's dopamine and motivation networks, and why even one minute of moving can shift your mental state before a hard task. She shares her method for pairing movement with affirmations, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how showing up for small movement wins builds real self-trust over time. If you've ever skipped a workout because you didn't have time for "real" exercise, this episode will change how you think about movement completely.

How Judgmental Fitness Content Hurts Beginners (Even When It's Not About Them)

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Ever wonder why online fitness spaces can feel so judgmental, even when all you're trying to do is move more? In this episode, guest host Domenic Angelino, who lost over 130 pounds and now holds two master's degrees in exercise science and psychology, breaks down a side effect of toxic fitness culture most creators never think about.

Domenic explains how hostile, status driven fitness content doesn't just affect the people watching it directly. It trains people to bring that same harsh energy into other fitness spaces, comment sections, and conversations, making the whole online fitness world feel less safe for beginners.

This episode is part of our Take Over series while Ashley steps back to build out the More Movement Please community. Tune in for an honest look at how creators, often without meaning to, shape whether fitness feels welcoming or intimidating for the next person walking through the door.

The Good Kind of Sore: What a Kayaking Trip Taught Me About Getting Back in Shape

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:00:00 GMT

I hadn't picked up a kayak paddle by myself in almost twenty years, and my arms let me know about it for two days straight. In this episode I talk about my four hour paddleboarding and kayaking trip at Lake Laurel, why I skipped the paddleboard for the kayak, and what it felt like to realize just how out of shape I still am on the water.

I also open up about the physical stuff I've been dealing with lately, hitting day 365 of continuous movement, and why there's a real difference between pain from pushing your body and pain from sitting still all day. Plus, I've got a big announcement about some upcoming guest hosted episodes and what's coming to the Patreon from Rhonda, including boot camps and exclusive content you won't hear anywhere else. If you're trying to figure out how to stay active, get stronger, or just show up for your body more consistently, this one's for you.

Is Walking Enough? The Guilt of "Just" Moving Your Body

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Is a walk and some stretching really "enough" movement, or does that guilty voice in your head know something you don't? Ashley gets real about the shame spiral that hits even after a full year of daily movement, and breaks down what the American Heart Association and Harvard Medical School actually recommends.

She walks through the real numbers behind the 150 minutes a week guideline, why sitting for hours at a stretch carries real health risks, and why "enough" movement looks different for everybody. This episode is a reminder that grace matters as much as effort, that moving throughout your day counts, and that you don't have to earn your rest by going full throttle every single time. No diet talk. No guilt trips. Just an honest conversation about showing up for your body, one walk at a time.

When Every Rep Feels Wrong: Showing Up on Your Worst Gym Day

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

I walked into the gym on zero sleep, dealing with health issues, and honestly not wanting to be there at all. My form was off, I missed steps in the Zumba routines, and even my instructor called me out when I was struggling to lift my weights. In this episode, I get real about what it's like to push through a genuinely bad workout instead of skipping it altogether, and why that choice matters more than nailing every move. I think back to my very first Zumba class in August 2023, when I had to walk out after fifteen minutes, and compare it to where I am now. This one's for anyone who's ever dragged themselves to the gym feeling defeated. Consistency isn't about perfect workouts. It's about refusing to let yourself off the hook, even on the hard days. Have you worked out today?

Day 365: I Didn't Die (One Year of Moving My Body Every Single Day)

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

She said she'd move her body every single day for a year, and today she found out if she could actually pull it off. In this episode, Ashley recaps day 365 (and episode 100) of More Movement Please, walking through the Zumba, Tabata, and spin class that closed out a full year of daily movement after two decades of being sedentary. She talks honestly about the health scares that pushed her to start, the balance and strength she didn't expect to gain, and why she's not slowing down for year two. If you've ever wondered whether consistency really works or felt like it's too late to start moving your body, this one's for you.

Why I Record This From My Car: The Story Behind the Mess

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Most of the episodes of this podcast get recorded from the front seat of my car, and today I'm finally telling you why. In this milestone episode, I open up about the ADHD brain that needs a calendar appointment to get anything done, why removing every excuse is the only way I stay consistent, and why I refuse to turn this podcast into another polished highlight reel. This is episode 100 and day 365 of moving my body, and I want you in the mess with me for year two.

Music and Movement: Why I Can't Work Out in Silence

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

I didn't realize how much I relied on music until I got stuck doing squats in a gas station parking lot with no playlist at all. In this episode, I talk about why the right song can carry you through the hardest part of a workout, what happened when I tried to move without music, and why my instructor Rhonda's playlist at the YMCA might be the best one I've ever heard. If your workouts feel harder than they should, this episode might be the missing piece.

Why I'm Doing This in My 40s, For the Woman I'll Be at 70

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

I've never told anyone this, but I was on blood pressure medication for a few months long before I even turned forty, and it scared me more than I can explain. Sadly, even that wasn't enough to get me to move my body...but it should have been. In this episode, I talk about why every workout I do now isn't really for today, it's for the woman I'll be at seventy, eighty, and beyond. I get into why strength and mobility now mean independence later, and why fitness in your 40s is really about protecting your freedom for decades to come.

If I Started Over: The Mistakes I'd Skip This Time

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

I wasted money on weight loss pills and shots, and the second I stopped, the weight came right back on. In this episode, I get honest about the fitness mistakes I'd skip if I could start over, from diet culture guilt to obsessing over the scale. I share what I'd tell my younger self, why rest matters as much as movement, and how to make sure you're moving for yourself, not for anyone else. If you're just getting started, this one can save you time, money, and a lot of guilt.

The Goals That Scare Me for Year Two

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Ashley breaks down what she's learned after a full year of daily movement and why this was never meant to be a temporary challenge. She talks about her goal to consistently reach for 20 pound and 10 pound dumbbells, her hope to finally fit into smaller pants after dropping four sizes, and her plan to move throughout the entire day instead of just during workouts. She also shares why she wants to grow the accountability community and get more people moving, plus the new activities she's adding to her routine, including hiking, biking, dance classes, and maybe even kickboxing.

If you've ever finished a fitness goal and wondered what comes next, this episode will help you figure out how to keep going without burning out.

Saying Goodbye to My Before Clothes

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 07:33:00 GMT

In this episode, I get honest about cleaning out my closet and just how complicated that process turned out to be. Some clothes I was thrilled to get rid of. Others I felt weirdly attached to, even though I don't want to fit into them again. I talk about the clothes I bought just because they fit my bigger body, even when I didn't actually like them, and why I now realize that was tied to feeling embarrassed about my size at the time. I also get into the "fat tax," the frustrating reality that bigger clothes often cost more, and why I'm being cautious about buying a full new wardrobe while I'm still working on getting smaller. If you've ever felt weirdly sentimental about clothes you swore you'd never miss, or nervous about spending money on a body you're still changing, this one's for you.

Stop Scrolling Fitspo: Why Comparing Your Progress to Others Is Sabotaging You

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Scrolling fitspo and feeling behind? You have no idea what's really happening behind those posts. Here's why comparison is wrecking your progress and what to do instead. In this episode, Ashley breaks down "compare-schlager" (comparing yourself to everyone except who you were yesterday) and why doomscrolling through other people's fitness content can quietly derail your mental progress. She gets honest about her own struggles watching people who started later than her lose more weight or get stronger faster, and why genetics, stress levels, and unseen habits make those comparisons pointless. If you've ever closed an app feeling like you're not doing enough, this one's for you.

Tornado Watch or Tornado Warning: The Real Reason I Finally Started Working Out

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 19:00:00 GMT

A doctor's warning didn't change anything. Watching someone she loved struggle with their health did. In this episode, Ashley shares the honest, unexpected moment that finally got her off the couch after years of being told she needed to. She breaks down the difference between a "tornado watch" and a "tornado warning" and how that idea helped her understand why some warnings stick and others don't. If you've been told you need to take care of yourself but haven't felt the urgency yet, this episode will help you figure out exactly where you stand and what to do about it.

Freedom Isn't Just a Holiday. It's What Fitness Gives You Back.

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:00:00 GMT

A thirty-five pack of water used to mean asking for help. Now Ashley picks it up herself, and that's just the start of what fitness gave her back. In this Fourth of July episode, she talks about the real freedom that comes from getting stronger: carrying your own groceries, taking the stairs without stopping, dancing all night without needing a chair. She reflects on hikes she couldn't have finished a year ago and a dance floor moment with her husband that reminded her why she started. If you've ever felt boxed in by your own body, this one's for you. Have you worked out today?

Talk Nice to Yourself: A Pep Talk for Bad Gym Days

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:00:00 GMT

You just went from lifting twenties back down to eights, and you're furious about it. Ashley gets brutally honest about backsliding at the gym, gaining weight back, and why she had to become her own cheerleader instead of waiting for anyone else to clap for her. This episode is about ditching the scale-and-pant-size scoreboard and celebrating the fact that you showed up at all, even on the days it feels like nothing is working. If you're intimidated by fitness or stuck in a rut, this one's your permission slip to talk nicer to yourself.

Day 365 Is Coming: The Full Story of How More Movement Please Started

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

If you're new here and you keep hearing about Day 365 and have no idea what that means, this episode is for you. Ashley Grant tells the whole story from the beginning, and it starts with one sentence from instructor Rhonda Goode that finally stuck.

Ashley walks through the week of July 14, 2025, when she showed up to 19 classes in seven days and accidentally set her own life on fire in the best way. She talks about the Instagram accountability posts, the Medium article, the podcast launch, and why July 13, 2026 is not just a birthday but a celebration of 365 days of maximum effort. This is the origin story. New listeners, this is your entry point.

Almost There: What One Year of Maximum Effort Really Looks Like

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Thirty-one days away from one full year of showing up, and Ashley Grant is getting real about what this milestone actually means. If you think getting fit in your forties is supposed to feel smooth and easy, this episode will tell you the truth nobody else is saying out loud.

Ashley reflects on nearly two decades of being inactive, the pain that came with it, and why she refuses to let that be her story anymore. She talks about wanting more than just smaller clothes, about watching the people she loves start to struggle with movement, and about why functionality, not vanity, is the real reason to get up and go. This one hits different when you're 31 days from something huge.

From Morbidly Obese Teenager to Fitness Expert: Domenic Angelino's Story

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

What happens when a morbidly obese fourteen-year-old loses over 130 pounds and accidentally becomes the person his whole high school turns to for fitness advice? You get Domenic Angelino, and his story is one of the most fascinating ones to hit this podcast yet.

Domenic walks us through going from overweight teen to double-majoring in exercise science and psychology, then earning two master's degrees in kinesiology and public health. Ashley reacts to his voice note with her own honest reflection on how she spent her active years as a dancer and taekwondo student, only to go completely inactive in college and not find her way back to fitness until 41. This is a conversation about how people find fitness, and why that story matters.

Why Group Fitness Is Just Better (Sorry, Solo Gym People)

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Ashley Grant is back in the gym after ten days away, and she has thoughts. Lots of them. If you've ever wondered whether solo workouts and group classes are really that different, this episode settles it.

Ashley breaks down her new gym schedule, how she's adding 365 extra minutes of effort leading up to her one-year mark, and what happened when she went hiking with weighted wristbands on. Then she gets out of Zumba and low-impact cardio and delivers a verdict that will sound very familiar to anyone who has ever tried to convince themselves that working out alone is just as good. Spoiler: it's not. Plus, a big announcement about the More Movement Please community group.

Working Out in a Hotel Gym: No Excuses, Just Tabata

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Four and a half hours in a car, a mom and sister watching Madea in the hotel room, and Ashley Grant still made it down to the gym. If you're looking for a reason to skip your workout while traveling, this episode is not going to help you find one.

Ashley is in Pigeon Forge on a Mother's Day trip and she finds a Tabata class online, grabs the hotel's tens and twenties, and puts in 51 minutes of work. She gets sweaty, a little embarrassed, and completely unapologetic about it. This one is for everyone who has ever said they couldn't work out because they were on vacation. You can. Here's proof.

Is the Protein Craze Getting Out of Hand? I Want Answers!

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Protein pancakes. Protein coffee. Protein cereal. Protein pasta. And now apparently protein bars at Chick-fil-A, if you count a plain piece of chicken with no bun. Ashley Grant has questions, and she wants to know if you're as over it as she is.

This episode is a funny, honest reaction to the protein-in-everything trend taking over grocery stores and social feeds. Ashley is not anti-nutrition, she is pro-sanity, and something about paying premium prices for protein-fortified everything is setting off her nonsense detector. She wants your take. Is this a helpful push toward better nutrition or just another hyped-up trend in disguise? Call it in.

Your Body Wants Movement All Day, Not All at Once: Travel Fitness Tips from a Physical Therapist

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Physical therapist Jen Uschold has a tip that might change how you think about fitness on the go, and it starts with this: your nervous system actually prefers a little movement throughout the day rather than one big chunk all at once. That alone is worth the listen.

Jen shares practical, zero-equipment ways to keep moving while you travel, from taking the stairs at your hotel to doing squats at the gas pump. Ashley reacts with her own take on movement snacks and why she, as someone with a desk job, has started sprinkling Zumba songs and wall sits throughout her workday. If you're heading out this summer and worried about falling off your routine, this episode is exactly what you need.

Stop Commenting on People's Bodies: Rhonda Goode's Fitness Class PSA

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Think complimenting someone on their weight loss is always a kind thing to do? Rhonda Goode is here to challenge that assumption...and she does it in the most Rhonda way possible: with a personal story, zero filter, and a truth that is genuinely hard to argue with.

In this episode, the More Movement Please head coach shares why weight loss in a fitness space is not automatically a win worth celebrating out loud, what it actually felt like to lose weight while grieving and caregiving, and the one thing you should say when a classmate returns after a long absence. She also flips the coin and explains exactly when and why body comments CAN be motivating and appropriate. If you've ever been unsure what to say (or not say) in a fitness class, this episode will sort it out for you fast.

Still Moving: The Truth About My One-Year Fitness Anniversary

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Sometimes your body just refuses to cooperate, even when you're this close to a massive milestone. Ashley is getting real about the physical setbacks that are making her upcoming Day 365 celebration look a little different than she planned...and why that's not the same thing as quitting.

In this episode, she breaks down what's actually going on, why she's still moving every single day despite the challenges, and what her one-year fitness anniversary is going to look like regardless. Plus, she clears up a big misconception she's been hearing from listeners about what happens after you hit a milestone. Spoiler: slowing down is not the plan. This one is for anyone who's ever had to pivot mid-goal and wondered if that means you failed. You didn't. Keep moving.

Working Out for You: Why Choosing Yourself Is the Secret to Showing Up

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

If you've ever talked yourself into working out for someone else, this episode might explain why it stopped working. Ashley gets real about the difference between moving your body out of fear or outside pressure versus deciding to do it purely for yourself, and why that one mindset shift changed everything.

She shares what finally clicked after years of starting and stopping, including the moment she stopped competing with the people around her and started competing with her past self. Ashley also talks about how thinking about future you, the one who either benefits or struggles based on what you do right now, became her most powerful source of motivation. It's a quick, honest listen that might just give you the push you need to lace up today.

In-Between Stage of Fitness: Why I'm Buying Clothes a Size Too Small (Smart or Risky?)

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 02:35:37 GMT

Some of your clothes are too big. Some are too tight. None of them feel right anymore. If you're losing weight and stuck in that awkward middle where nothing in your closet matches your body, this episode is for you. Ashley talks through the real, unglamorous side of a changing body: donating bras that don't fit, buying new clothes a size too small on purpose, and wrestling with whether to keep her old "bigger" clothes or let them go for good. She gets honest about her complicated relationship with the scale, why she refuses to turn this podcast into a diet or calorie-counting show, and what she's learned from a past experience with restrictive dieting that taught her the hard way that quick fixes don't last. This is a real conversation about non-scale victories, body image in transition, and choosing movement over restriction every single time.

Meal Prep for the Win: How to Stay Out of the Drive-Thru Without Spending Hours in the Kitchen

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

If you keep ending up in the drive-thru because there's nothing ready at home, this episode is for you. Ashley breaks down the exact meal prep system she uses to get dinner on the table in 15 minutes without following a strict meal plan or living in the kitchen all weekend.

From bulk cooking chicken breast using a restaurant trick called velveting, to freezing waffles and sausage for fast breakfasts, to her 14-day meal planning strategy that kills the "what's for dinner" panic, Ashley walks you through a practical, no-diet-culture approach to eating at home more and spending less. You don't have to be a meal prep fanatic to make this work. You just need a few systems that fit your actual life. Have you worked out today?

How I'm Prepping My Body (and My Bag) for Four Days of Walking at Gen Con

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Someone told Ashley she'd walk eleven thousand steps in a single day at Gen Con, and that one comment lit a fire under her prep plan. In this episode of More Movement Please, she walks you through exactly how she's getting her body ready for four straight days on the convention floor and what's going into her bag to stay fueled the whole time. She talks through her beloved Asics Nova Blast 5s, the resistance band and bodyweight workouts she's packing, why she's swapping sodas for fruit juice, and her hunt for an electrolyte packet that won't wreck her budget. She also covers the snack strategy for when hanger hits, the chapstick and lotion she refuses to travel without, and the smart tip about labeling her board games. If you've ever wondered how to stay active and fed at a big event, this one's for you. Have you worked out today?

365 Days of Movement: My Plan to Celebrate One Full Year

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

A bowl full of random exercises, ten extra minutes a day, and five back-to-back classes on the big day. That is exactly how Ashley plans to celebrate 365 days of maximum effort in her fitness life, and she is letting you in on the whole ridiculous plan. In this episode of More Movement Please, Ashley breaks down the countdown she built to hit her one-year movement milestone without skipping a single day of what she already has scheduled. She pulls a mystery exercise from a bowl every day for the final stretch, adds five additional classes on day 365, invites her gym peeps to lunch, and yes, there will be ice cream. She also shares why episode 100 is set to drop on that same day. It is silly, it is sweaty, and it is a real celebration of showing up. Have you worked out today?

I Caved (And I'd Do It Again): What Happened When My Workout Plan Went Out the Window

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your fitness plan is ignore it. When the weather tanked Ashley's Thursday hike, she did what any reasonable person would do: she caved and headed straight to the gym instead.

In this episode, Ashley breaks down what happens when your new workout schedule collides with real life, and why "caving" might actually be the smartest move you can make. She shares what it was like to stack a Pilates class and a Tabata session back to back, why she only struggled with one exercise (and why that felt like a win), and what it meant to lift her 20-pound dumbbells and feel strong doing it. She also gets into her love for morning stretching, why bedtime stretches might be next on her list, and what it really means to stay committed to movement even when the plan changes. If you've ever felt guilty for adjusting your routine, this one's for you.

Why Doing Your Fitness Publicly Might Be the Only Thing That Actually Keeps You Going

Wed, 27 May 2026 07:00:00 GMT

What if the secret to sticking with fitness wasn't willpower or the perfect plan, but the fact that people are watching? In this episode, Ashley gets real about one of her biggest fears: failing at fitness in front of an audience, and why that fear might actually be her most powerful motivator.

She talks about what happens when you build your whole public presence around moving your body and then, sometimes, your body just won't cooperate. Those are the days the guilt hits hardest. Ashley opens up about working through that guilt, what daily accountability posts have done for her consistency, and why she believes doing your fitness publicly could be the missing piece for anyone who keeps falling off track. Plus, she's thinking about starting a community group where listeners can check in with each other around movement, nothing diet-culture, nothing toxic, just: did you move today?

Show Up: How You Do One Thing Is How You Do Everything

Mon, 25 May 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Three hundred days of movement didn't just change Ashley's body. It changed her finances, her spiritual life, her relationships, and her ability to handle the hard stuff life kept throwing at her. In this episode, Ashley breaks down the surprisingly real connection between showing up for your fitness and showing up for every other area of your life, and why that one small commitment might be the thing that finally gets everything else unstuck.

She gets into the unexpected ways consistent movement spilled into her mental health, her money habits, her friendships, and even her faith. She also talks honestly about the moments this year that were anything but easy, why showing up matters most when everything feels hardest, and the mindset shift that changed how she sees the challenges coming her way. If something feels off in your life right now, this episode is going to make you think twice about where the real fix starts.

Why I Feel Guilty About Food (Even Though I Don't Believe in Diets)

Wed, 20 May 2026 07:00:00 GMT

You don't subscribe to diet culture, so why does eating a bowl of pasta still make you feel like you've done something wrong? If the cravings have been hitting hard lately and the guilt is hitting harder, this one is for you.

In this episode of More Movement Please, Ashley gets honest about a stretch of relentless sweet, carb, and soda cravings, and the guilt that showed up uninvited along with them. She talks through what she's actually doing about it, from moving her body more and reaching for water first, to giving herself real permission to indulge in a mindful way so the guilt doesn't spiral into binging. This is not a lecture on willpower. It's a reminder that fitness is sometimes messy, that cravings are normal, and that you can be active, mindful, and still completely human. If you've ever felt alone in the messy middle, come hang out.

I Cried on a Mountain Last Week: How Should I Celebrate 1 Year of Maximum Effort?

Mon, 18 May 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Last week I stood at a mountain overlook and cried, and the view was not the reason. The reason was that this time last year, I physically could not have made the hike to get up there. In less than two months, I hit 365 days of maximum effort in fitness, and I have absolutely no clue how to celebrate it yet. In this episode, I talk through what one year of going all in has actually looked like (over 700 workouts, 624 classes, four pant sizes down, graduating from three-pound weights to twenty-pound dumbbells), why I refuse to stop celebrating every milestone along the way, and the half-formed ideas I am wrestling with for the big day.

Should I do 365 squats and 365 push-ups like one of my Facebook followers suggested? Stick with the espresso martini and tiramisu cheesecake plan? Pack the day with back-to-back Zumba, low-impact cardio, and toning classes? I want your help picking this.

Less Movement, Please? Wait, WHAT?!?

Wed, 13 May 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Three hundred plus days of pretty much daily movement, and the More Movement Please girl is about to say something you probably did not expect: less movement, please. Well…sort of. I just got back from a seven-day trip, got dressed to go to Tabata, made it as far as the doorway before getting sick, and finally had to admit out loud what my body has been screaming for weeks.

In this episode, I'm sharing the new four-week experiment I just announced on Instagram (three gym days instead of five, with yoga, walking, hiking, and stretching filling the other four), the head colds and cycle issues that have been piling up despite being healthier than I've ever been, and the very real fear of being judged that almost kept me quiet about all of this. If you're white-knuckling a fitness routine that is quietly wearing you down, this one is for you. Spoiler: pulling back is not quitting.

Waterfalls, Wet Rocks, and What Terrain Actually Does to Your Body

Mon, 11 May 2026 07:00:00 GMT

How does a 0.6-mile hike eat up a full hour and leave your quads screaming? Because terrain is everything, and I learned that the hard way over seven days of waterfall hikes from Kentucky to Florida and back. In this episode, I'm breaking down why hiking twelve miles on uneven ground hits harder than walking twenty miles flat, why downhill is secretly more brutal than uphill (looking at you, eccentric quad load), and the sliced pinkie I picked up at Tallulah Gorge that taught me to keep my hands free. I'm also sharing the non-scale victory I did not see coming: my husband asking me to slow down for once. Plus, the food and water recap I promised, including how splitting every dinner saved us money and calories, why packing one prepped meal for the road is a move I'll make every trip, and what we drank, ate, and refilled obsessively for seven days straight. Vacation does not have to mean pausing your movement. Here's proof.

Real Talk on Weights, the Scale, and What a Full Week of Working Out Actually Looks Like

Wed, 06 May 2026 07:00:00 GMT

She lifted the 20-pound dumbbells and didn't die...and that's just one of the wins Ashley is unpacking in this listener Q&A. From what a real week of workouts looks like after 280+ days of consistency to her honest, complicated relationship with the scale, this episode gets into the stuff people actually want to know. Ashley talks non-scale victories (including a wedding ring that hadn't fit in a decade), why she dialed back from 22 hours of exercise a week to 13, what the people in her life think about how much she works out, and what she'd tell anyone who keeps saying they'll start on Monday. Spoiler: don't wait.

Your Fitness Doesn't Have to Take a Vacation When You Do

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Packing your bags doesn't mean packing in your progress. In this episode, Ashley breaks down her actual plan for staying active on a road trip to Florida, from bodyweight workouts and resistance bands to a deck-of-cards exercise trick she picked up at a boot camp years ago. You'll also hear how she and her husband handle road trip eating without giving up every good habit they've built, including a meal-splitting strategy that just makes sense. Whether you've got a trip coming up or just need ideas for working out without a gym, this one's for you. Have you worked out today?

A Letter to the Version of Me Who Was Afraid to Start

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Two years ago, Ashley was terrified to walk back into a gym and convinced that dieting was the only option. Now, 280-plus days into her fitness commitment, she's "writing a letter" to that version of herself and it might be exactly what you need to hear today. From lifting 3-pound dumbbells to reaching for the 20s, she gets honest about the pain, the cravings, the moments she wanted to quit, and why she's so glad she didn't. If you've been waiting for the right moment to start moving, this episode is that moment. Have you worked out today?

Drop It, Keep It, Add It: A Trainer's No-Guilt Approach to Eating Better

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

What if eating better wasn't about cutting everything you love, but about knowing what to drop, what to keep, and what to add? Personal trainer and lifelong bodybuilder Virginia Kinkel shares her Drop Keep Add framework, and it might be the most realistic nutrition approach you've ever heard.

Virginia breaks down how women over 40 can build muscle, reduce fat, and eat in a way that actually fits their real life, not some idealized version of it. Ashley reacts in real time, fresh off a week of way too many sweets and some unsolicited commentary from people in her life about what she should and shouldn't be eating.

This episode is equal parts practical and personal, covering the 80/20 principle, strength training for women over 40, why deprivation backfires, and why giving yourself grace is not the same as giving up. If you've ever felt guilty for eating like a human, this one's for you.

The Shoe Update: Why I Went With Asics (And Why I'm Still Looking)

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

If you've been waiting for an update on my shoe saga, this is the episode for you. I finally landed on the ASICS Women's NOVABLAST 5 shoes after a mad dash to replace a pair that was falling apart, and I'm spilling all the details on why I made that call fast, and why I'm not done shopping yet.

Turns out being incredibly hard on footwear means you need a plan before urgency takes the wheel. I'm breaking down what I loved about the Asics, why I'm still curious about the Brooks Ghost and the Brooks Adrenaline, and why I'm fully prepared to become a shoe guinea pig in the name of finding the best workout shoe out there.

I also have some exciting personal news to share: my husband and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary at Gen Con, the largest tabletop gaming convention in North America, and it is going to lead to some very fun fitness content in the coming episodes. Whether you're a fellow nerd, a fitness newbie, or someone who just wants to stay active while traveling this summer, you're going to want to stick around for what's coming.

Stop Making Excuses and Start Making Appointments With Yourself

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

You had the wrong outfit. You ate too big of a breakfast. You woke up five minutes late. Sound familiar? If you have ever talked yourself out of a workout with reasons that wouldn't hold up under any real scrutiny, this episode is going to hit close to home.

Ashley gets real about the mental gymnastics she used to do to avoid the gym and how she completely flipped the script. Now she blocks her workout classes in her calendar like client appointments because, for her, that is exactly what they are. If you are still treating your workouts as optional, this episode will give you a new way to think about showing up for yourself, one calendar invite at a time.

Forget the Scale: Why Celebrating Small Wins Is the Secret to Staying Consistent

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Painting your toenails used to be a workout. Now it's just... the average Monday. That's a milestone worth celebrating, and Ashley Grant is here to tell you why tracking wins that have nothing to do with the scale might be the thing that actually keeps you moving.

In this episode, Ashley gets real about being a self-described pessimist who is actively learning to flip the script, and why that mindset shift has been the secret weapon behind 270+ days and 550+ workouts. She talks about the moments that don't show up on any fitness app but hit differently anyway, like getting up a flight of stairs without stopping, or reaching your feet without a whole production. If you've been waiting for permission to celebrate how far you've come (or to just get started), this is it. Your body is stronger than you think. Come find out why that matters.

Your Chores Count: The Science of Everyday Movement with Physiotherapy Researcher Sunaina Chopra

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

What if the workout you've been skipping credit for has been happening all along? Physiotherapy and PhD student Sunaina Chopra from the University of British Columbia breaks down the science behind non-conventional physical activity, and the research will genuinely surprise you. From gardening studies published in The Lancet to findings that show housework is just as effective as traditional exercise, this episode will completely shift the way you think about what "counts" as movement, and give you permission to stop waiting for the perfect workout.

Ashley reacts to Sunaina's voice note with her signature energy, challenging listeners to do a personal movement audit and find the small, sneaky ways to layer more activity into the life they're already living. Whether you're a gym devotee or someone who can barely find 20 minutes, this one is for you.

But These Shoes! Finding the Right Workout Shoes for Low Impact Cardio, Zumba, and Everyday Wear

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

If you've ever screamed "I want those shoes!" at your screen, you already understand the energy of this episode. Ashley Grant is on a full-blown mission to find the perfect workout shoes for low impact cardio, Tabata, and everyday wear, and spoiler alert: the most expensive pair she's ever bought lasted exactly twenty minutes before she had to rip them off mid-class.

In this episode of More Movement Please, Ashley breaks down her search for the right fitness footwear, including what finally worked for Zumba (hint: sliding matters), what didn't work for low impact cardio (looking at you, Brooks Glycerin 23), and why finding the right shoe is actually a bigger deal than most people realize when you're serious about moving your body more. Whether you swear by Hokas, Ryka, Brooks, or something else entirely, Ashley wants to hear what's on your feet and why. Because the right gear matters, and your feet deserve better than holes in the soles.

Also - this episode was partially inspired by that silly 2007 YouTube video by Liam Kyle Sullivan. It was a music video for his song "Shoes", performed as Kelly, and Wikipedia says it was one of the platform's first ever viral videos. It's cheesy as hell, but you can view it here: https://youtu.be/wCF3ywukQYA

What happens when someone at the gym calls you out for complaining, and you can't stop thinking about it four days later? In this honest, unfiltered episode, Ashley gets real about a rough mental health week, the fear of being "the girl who whines on the internet," and what it actually feels like to be a woman in her forties figuring out fitness in public.

Ashley opens up about the tension between staying private and being transparent as an online creator, reflects on what this podcast is really meant to be, and invites you to be a part of shaping where it goes next. If you've ever struggled with staying positive when everything feels hard, or wondered whether your story is even worth sharing, this one's for you.

Wait, Is HIIT Just a Marketing Label? What Fitness Buzzwords Actually Mean

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

That class you've been scared to try might not be as intense as its name suggests, and that "easy" walk might be doing more for you than you think. Fitness expert Annie Landry breaks down what HIIT and LISS actually mean from an exercise science standpoint (hint: the fitness industry has been a little loose with those definitions), and why women over thirty-five specifically may want to stop chasing intensity every single day.

Ashley also gets real about her own active recovery days and why pairing high and low intensity movement might be the smartest thing you can do for your body. Less confusion, more movement.

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

You don't have to go hard. You just have to show up. Personal trainer Chris Cooper has spent twenty years in the fitness industry, and his number one tip for workout success fits in one sentence: consistency beats intensity. In this quick but honest episode, Ashley opens up about a rough mental health week and why showing up at fifty percent still counts, why a ten-minute walk is a legitimate win, and why the pressure to go all out is one of the biggest reasons people quit before they even get started.

Stop Waiting to Feel Motivated: Why Action Comes First

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

If you've been waiting to feel motivated before you start working out, you might be waiting forever. Yoga teacher, podcast producer, and psychology-backed wellness expert Jamie Brooke breaks down why motivation is actually the result of taking action, not the starting point, and what that means for anyone who keeps pushing their workout to "next Monday."

In this episode, Jamie shares the science-backed concept from Atomic Habits that flips the motivation myth on its head, a real-life example of a retired, kid-free woman who still can't seem to get to the gym, and the one question you should ask yourself instead of "do I feel like it today?" Host Ashley Grant also gets real about how waiting for motivation would have kept her stuck as the girl who couldn't make it through 15 minutes of Zumba.

If you've ever talked yourself out of a workout before you even started, this episode is for you.

This Fitness Instructor Can Tell in 60 Seconds If You're Going to Quit

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Fourteen years of watching people walk through a gym door has given Rhonda Goode an almost unsettling ability to read a new student before the music even starts, and in this episode, she tells you exactly what she sees. This is the final installment of our Podcasthon series, and it might be the most important one.

Rhonda breaks down what separates the people who completely transform their lives from the ones who stay stuck in the same place year after year, and the answer is simpler and more uncomfortable than most people want to hear. She gets into why you cannot out-exercise a week of sitting, what the Netflix and binge lifestyle is actually costing your body, whether you can really outwork a bad diet, and what she would say right now to the person who knows something has to change but hasn't made the move yet.

She also shares what it feels like when a student sends her a photo from the top of a mountain and says her class made the hike easy. This episode wraps up our spotlight on the Humane Society Animal League for Life of Madison County, Kentucky, as part of Podcasthon 2026. Links to learn more and donate are below:

14 Years at the Front of the Room: What a Real Fitness Instructor Actually Sees

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

If you have ever wondered what your fitness instructor is actually thinking when they scan the room, Rhonda Goode is about to tell you. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on fourteen years of watching the fitness industry from the inside, and she has opinions. We get into the single biggest mistake she sees instructors make that costs them student loyalty, why she intentionally shows up five to seven minutes late to every class, what she can read from your body language before the music even starts, and why she does not waste time on people who are just there to check a box.

She also weighs in on where the fitness industry is headed, what she thinks about the explosion of online certifications, and the one piece of advice she would give any new instructor before they step in front of their first class. Fair warning: she is not gentle about any of it.

This is part two of three special episodes recorded as part of Podcasthon 2026, a global initiative where thousands of podcasts spotlight a charity of their choice. Our featured charity is the Humane Society Animal League for Life of Madison County, Kentucky. Links to learn more and donate are below:

She Never Planned to Teach. Then the Room Filled Up and the Mirrors Fogged Over.

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Rhonda Goode did not set out to become a fitness instructor. She set out to find someone who could kill her in a workout class, and when both of those instructors quit at the same time, she picked up the music and just went. What followed was fourteen years of packed rooms, fogged mirrors, pool classes that exploded out of nowhere, and a teaching style built entirely on refusing to stop moving.

In this episode, Rhonda walks us through the full origin story: the chaotic Zumba sub that started it all, the Berea College classes that grew from two loyal students to sixty-five people crammed six inches from the front mirror, the YMCA in Richmond that became her home base, and how a woman who freely admits she is not a people person ended up being the person hundreds of people refuse to miss a chance to work out with. This is part one of three special episodes recorded as part of Podcasthon 2026, a global initiative where thousands of podcasts shine a spotlight on a charity of their choice.

Is Your Workout Actually Working Against You? A Nurse Practitioner's Take on Strength, Recovery, and Training Smarter

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

A nurse practitioner who specializes in integrative medicine just made the case that strength training is literally medicine...not a bonus, not a nice-to-have, medicine. In this episode, Ashley shares a powerful voice note from Stephanie Baubie, NP, who breaks down why muscle mass is one of the strongest predictors of how well we age, and why the "more is always better" mentality could be quietly sabotaging your results.

Stephanie covers the science behind strength training for long-term health, why overtraining spikes cortisol and works against muscle recovery, and what women in their forties specifically need to know as hormones shift during perimenopause. Ashley also gets refreshingly honest about her own training habits, clocking in at 10 to 16 hours of exercise per week, and what this episode made her rethink. If you have ever felt like you were doing all the right things but still felt depleted, this episode is for you.

The Truth About Fad Diets, Fitness Goals, and Why There's No Finish Line

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

What if the biggest thing holding you back in fitness isn't your body, but it's what you believe? In this Q&A episode of More Movement Please, Ashley gets raw and reflective answering listener questions she didn't see coming.

She revisits the moment she walked out of her very first Zumba class after 15 minutes, what she wishes she'd told herself that day, and the one piece of advice from her instructor she ignored...and knows now she shouldn't have. She also breaks down how getting serious about fitness changed her work, her creativity, and even her social life in ways she never expected. Plus, she tackles the big question: is there actually a finish line in fitness? (Spoiler: it's complicated...and a little morbid.) If you've ever wondered whether it's worth starting when you feel miles behind, this one's for you.

Your Past Failures Are Actually Your Fitness Roadmap (Especially After 40)

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 08:00:00 GMT

What if every diet you've abandoned and every workout plan you've quit was actually preparing you to finally succeed? Fitness expert Domenic Angelino joins Ashley with a fresh take on weight loss after 40 that will completely change how you see your lived experience.

In this episode, Ashley reacts to Domenic's voice note about why people over 40 have a hidden advantage most fitness influencers never talk about. They dig into why willpower is a red herring, how to stop picking fitness strategies that don't match your personality, and why your past "failures" are actually the most valuable data you have. Ashley gets personal too, sharing why rice cake diets and treadmill sessions left her miserable, and exactly how she figured out that group fitness and great music were the keys she'd been missing all along. If you've ever felt like it's too late to get fit or like you just don't have what it takes, this one is for you.

If you're in your 40s and spinning your wheels trying to lose weight, you might be doing too much of the wrong thing and not enough of the right one.

Anne breaks down exactly why muscle mass is the key to a faster metabolism, better energy, balanced hormones, and long-term weight maintenance. Plus, host Ashley Grant gets real about her own experience finally picking up weights, why she resisted it for so long, and how it has transformed her overall fitness.

Whether you're brand new to strength training or you've been skipping it in favor of the treadmill, this episode will give you the push you need to start lifting. You'll walk away knowing exactly how often to train, what movements to focus on, and how to build a routine that actually sticks.

When Your Body Says No: Giving Yourself Grace Without Losing Your Momentum

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT

What happens when you've moved your body almost every single day for over 220 days and then hit a wall so hard you can't even talk yourself into a stretch? Ashley Grant gets brutally honest about the Sunday she chose to skip her workout entirely, and why that decision might have been the smartest fitness move she made all week.

In this episode, Ashley breaks down the difference between laziness and genuinely listening to your body, the guilt that can come with rest days, and how to make sure one skipped workout doesn't quietly turn into a week off. If you've ever felt like taking a rest day means you're failing, this episode will change how you think about recovery for good.

Want to Quit Mid-Workout? Me Too. Here's What Keeps Me Going

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Ever been in the middle of a workout and thought, I'm done, I'm out, I'm going home? You're not alone. In this candid Q&A episode of More Movement, Please, Ashley pulls back the curtain on the real, unglamorous side of staying consistent, including the day she had to walk out of class entirely and couldn't go back.

Ashley tackles three listener questions head-on: what it actually feels like to want to quit mid-workout and what gets her through it, how to tell the difference between a bad day at the gym and a genuinely bad week, and the exact moment fitness stopped being something she was "trying" and became a core part of who she is. Spoiler: it wasn't overnight, and it wasn't magic. It was day 100.

Whether you're brand new to working out or you've been at it for months and just hit a wall, this episode is the honest pep talk you didn't know you needed.

Aging Is Not the Problem. Inactivity Is.

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The number one fear people over 60 have isn't death. It's needing help. In this episode, certified health coach and personal trainer Dean Walters of Aging Boldly breaks down why movement is the single most important thing you can do for your body as you age, and why you don't need to become a gym person to do it.

After 30, we all start losing muscle and power if we don't actively fight for it. And for older adults, that loss isn't about how you look. It's about whether you can get off the floor, catch yourself on a curb, carry groceries, or play with your grandkids. Dean shares the three big reasons movement matters most: independence, resilience, and better health markers across the board.

Ashley also gets personal about a recent fall that could have been much worse if she hadn't been consistently moving her body. This is the episode to send to someone you love who hasn't started moving yet.

I'm Losing Weight But I Still Don't Love My Body (Here's What I'm Doing About It)

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Dropping pant sizes doesn't automatically fix how you see yourself in the mirror. In this raw Valentine's Day recording, Ashley gets honest about why she still sees her formerly fat self staring back at her, even as her body gets stronger and smaller. She opens up about the unexpected link between getting physically fit and finally being able to face the mental and emotional baggage she'd been hiding from for years. If you've ever felt like your confidence hasn't caught up with your progress, this one's for you. Ashley talks about where her self-love actually comes from right now (hint: it's not the scale), why fitness is unlocking parts of her brain she didn't expect, and why moving your body might be the best Valentine's gift you ever give yourself. Onwards and upwards, friends.

Why Joy Is the Most Underrated Weight Loss Strategy

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT

What if the reason your workouts aren't working has nothing to do with how hard you're pushing and everything to do with how little you're enjoying it? Certified Zumba and fitness instructor Gail Lazarus breaks down why joy might be the missing piece in your fitness routine and how one simple mindset shift can turn "I should exercise" into "I get to move today."

In this episode, Gail shares how she's spent over nine years helping women build sustainable workout habits by making movement feel energizing, accessible, and actually fun. Host Famous Ashley Grant jumps in with her own experience choosing group fitness for the energy, the community, and the music that stays stuck in her head for days. Together, they make a strong case for why consistency will always beat intensity and why finding what feels good is the real secret to lasting results.

If you've been forcing yourself through workouts you dread, this episode is your sign to rethink your approach.

The 10,000 Steps Scam: How a Marketing Campaign Became Fitness "Fact"

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Think you need 10,000 steps a day to be healthy? That magic number actually came from a 1960s Japanese pedometer marketing campaign and was never based on science. Dr. Melissa McDowell reveals the real step count you need based on current research: 7,500 steps if you're over 60, or 8,500 steps if you're under 60. Yep! Both significantly lower than the 10,000-step target you've been chasing. Ashley breaks down how this myth became fitness gospel and what you should do with the extra time you just got back (hint: strength training twice a week). Plus, she shares her relief at finally returning to in-person group fitness after 11 days snowed in and why this revelation makes her question every piece of fitness advice she's ever received. If you're tired of chasing arbitrary fitness goals, this episode will free you to train smarter, not longer.

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Ashley celebrates dropping another pant size - her fourth since July - and the powerful realization that the scale doesn't tell the whole story. In this raw and honest episode, she breaks down why she's ditching "weight loss goals" for "fitness goals" and how focusing on movement over restrictive dieting led to results she never thought possible.

Discover how Ashley transformed her body through consistent movement (hello, Zumba!) and simple hydration changes, all while still eating the foods she loves. She shares the emotional moment of trying on pants she thought would be too small, the reality of building muscle while losing inches, and why non-scale victories matter more than the number on the scale.

We're All Gonna Die Anyway: Why Mortality Should Motivate Your Fitness

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT

What if your doctor called you a "ticking time bomb"? Host Famous Ashley Grant shares her raw, honest story of going from crippling pain just standing up from a chair to reclaiming her health in six months. After recent losses forced her to confront her own mortality, Ashley realized before amping up her fitness efforts, she wasn't living, she was barely surviving in a body that hurt to simply exist.

This episode strips away the usual fitness motivation fluff and gets real about why the fact that we're all going to die should actually inspire us to move more, not less. Ashley opens up about the pain of lifting a water pitcher, her doctor's alarming warnings, and the moment she decided that if her time is limited, she refuses to spend it as a burden on others or trapped in a body that won't cooperate. If you've been putting off movement or need a wake-up call about what's at stake, this honest conversation about mortality, health scares, and finding strength will hit home.

Your Fitness Questions Answered | From Hating Workouts to Actually Craving Them

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT

How do you go from dreading a workout to actually craving it? What about those 20-pound dumbbells that keep taunting you? When will you finally feel strong enough? Listeners asked and I'm answering.

In this Q&A episode, I tackle real questions from people following my fitness journey. You'll hear about my transformation from someone who couldn't finish 15 minutes of Zumba to someone who gets genuinely excited about Tabata. I share specific details about strength progression (yes, I'm working up to those 20-pound weights), how my relationship with exercise completely changed, and what it actually feels like 150+ days into consistent training.

Topics covered: how long it takes for exercise to feel enjoyable instead of torturous, dealing with varying strength levels day-to-day, setting realistic progression goals, finding accountability partners, and why some days you'll still grab lighter weights even after months of progress.

If you've ever wondered when working out stops feeling like punishment and starts feeling like something you actually want to do (or if you're curious what realistic fitness progress looks like without filters or exaggeration) this honest Q&A gives you the real answers.

Working Out on Your Period: Does Exercise Actually Help Menstrual Cramps?

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Can barely stand because of menstrual cramps but the internet says exercise helps? I tested it so you don't have to. This real-talk episode documents my decision to work out during severe period pain…and what actually happened when I did.

I'm recording this on my way to the gym while literally struggling with debilitating cramps. The research says cardio and yoga can help with menstrual pain by improving blood circulation, but does it actually work? In this raw, vulnerable episode, I share the before and after, and how I felt heading to class versus how I felt after completing my workout.

You'll hear honest discussion about modifying workouts during your cycle, using lighter weights when needed, why movement might help relieve period symptoms, and the real truth about whether working out while cramping is worth it. This isn't medical advice. It's one woman's real experience testing whether the internet's claims about exercise and period pain actually hold up.

Perfect for women who struggle with whether to work out during menstruation, deal with severe cramps, or wonder if they should just stay in bed with a heating pad.

I Slept Through My Alarm | Why Missing One Workout Doesn't Mean You Failed

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Slept through your alarm? Feeling guilty about missing a workout? This honest episode is about giving yourself grace while staying committed to your fitness journey.

I share what happened when I overslept, why rest is sometimes exactly what your body needs, and how to get back on track without the shame spiral that usually follows a missed workout. You'll learn the difference between self-care rest and self-sabotage, how to listen to what your body actually needs, and why one missed workout doesn't erase all your progress.

This episode tackles the all-or-nothing thinking that derails so many fitness journeys. Missing a workout doesn't make you a failure. What matters is showing up consistently over time, not being perfect every single day.

If you've ever felt like missing one workout means you've "blown it," if you struggle with fitness guilt, or if you need permission to be human while staying committed to your goals, this vulnerable check-in will help you reframe how you think about consistency.

Too Busy With Kids to Work Out? How to Get Your Whole Family Moving Together

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 08:00:00 GMT

"I'd love to work out but I have kids" or "My partner isn't into fitness" are two of the most common excuses I hear. What if your family wasn't an obstacle to fitness, but actually part of the solution?

This episode tackles the real challenge of staying active when you have a family. Whether you have young children, a partner who hates the gym, or conflicting schedules that make solo workouts impossible, there are practical ways to incorporate movement into family life without fighting your reality.

I share how my husband and I solved this: I do Zumba while he plays pickleball at the same facility. Win-win. You'll get specific ideas for different family situations: dance parties for young kids, obstacle courses in the backyard, family walks after dinner, active video games with time limits, weekend hikes for older kids, bike rides together, trying new sports as a family.

The key is meeting people where they are. Don't drag your partner to spin class if they hate it. Find activities they actually enjoy. Make movement feel less like "working out" and more like quality time or play. Movement doesn't have to look like traditional exercise to count.

Perfect for parents struggling to find workout time, couples with different fitness interests, or anyone who thinks family responsibilities mean sacrificing health.

Stop Waiting for January 1st to Change Your Life | Why 'New Year, New Me' Fails Every Time

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 08:00:00 GMT

"I'll start working out in January" is the lie you tell yourself every year. And every February, you're back where you started. This episode exposes why waiting for the "perfect time" guarantees failure…and what to do instead.

I break down the psychology behind New Year's resolutions, why the arbitrary January 1st start date sets you up for disappointment, and why starting NOW (even imperfectly) beats waiting for the perfect moment. You'll learn how to build sustainable habits without the pressure of resolution culture.

This episode will challenge you to stop postponing your life and start taking action today…regardless of what month it is or how "ready" you feel.

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 00:22:16 GMT

From avoiding stairs because they left me winded to crushing multiple Zumba classes in one day…here's what 150 days of serious fitness commitment actually changed. This isn't a dramatic "before and after" post. It's an honest progress report about sustainable change.

You'll hear about the non-physical changes too such as improved energy, better mental health, increased confidence.

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 08:00:15 GMT

Your workouts feel harder than they should. You're tired all the time. Your muscles cramp. You might think you need to train harder, but you probably just need to drink more water. This episode reveals how chronic dehydration silently undermines your fitness progress.

I break down exactly how much water you actually need (no, it's not just "8 glasses"), how to tell if you're dehydrated, why hydration matters more than most supplements, and simple tricks to drink more water without thinking about it. You'll also learn when to drink around workouts for maximum performance.

Perfect for anyone who struggles with fatigue during exercise, gets frequent cramps, or simply forgets to drink water throughout the day.

Two Timelines: The You Who Works Out vs The You Who Doesn't | Your Fitness Sliding Doors Moment

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 19:58:47 GMT

Imagine two versions of your life playing out simultaneously. In Timeline A, you hit snooze on that 6:30 alarm and start working out. In Timeline B, you don't. Five years later, these timelines look dramatically different. This episode visualizes your fitness sliding doors moment.

I paint a vivid picture of what happens in both scenarios: the compounding effects of consistent movement versus gradual decline, the freedom versus limitations, the strength versus deterioration. This isn't about fear tactics. It's about helping you see the long-term reality of the choices you make today.

One of the most powerful and perspective-shifting episodes yet. Listen if you need motivation to start, clarity about why fitness matters, or a wake-up call about the future you're building with today's choices.

The Days You Don't Want to Work Out Are the Most Important | Fitness Discipline Over Motivation

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 08:00:00 GMT

Most people wait to "feel motivated" before working out. That's why most people fail. This episode is about showing up on the days you absolutely don't want to…because those are the days that actually build discipline and create lasting change.

I'll share real examples of times I showed up when I was exhausted, in pain, or just not feeling it, and why I've never regretted a single workout (even the hard ones). You'll learn why relying on motivation is a trap, how accountability helps, and the simple truth that nobody regrets taking care of themselves.

If you struggle with consistency, skip workouts when life gets busy, or wait for the "perfect time" to exercise, this episode will shift your entire mindset.

Why I Don't Believe in Total Rest Days Anymore

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 23:20:09 GMT

I work out 7 days a week and I've never felt better. Sounds crazy, right? Here's why active recovery days have replaced complete rest days in my routine, and why this approach prevents injury while keeping momentum.

In this episode, I break down what active recovery actually means (no, it's not another intense workout), why movement helps your muscles recover faster than sitting on the couch, and how to structure your week for sustainable fitness. You'll learn the difference between rest and recovery, and why staying active every day builds better long-term habits than taking complete days off.

Perfect for anyone wondering how often they should work out, whether rest days are necessary, or how to prevent burnout while staying consistent.

I Wasted 18 Months Half-Assing Fitness | Why Going All-In Is the Only Way to See Results

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 07:00:24 GMT

For 18 months, I went to the gym "occasionally." Sometimes once a week. Sometimes twice. I told myself I was "working on it." But I wasn't seeing results because I wasn't truly committed. Here's what changed when I finally went all-in.

This episode is about the difference between dabbling in fitness and actually committing. You'll hear why half-commitment wastes your time, how to know if you're truly ready to change, and what going "all-in" actually looks like (hint: it's not about perfection).

If you've been saying "I'll start working out" for months or years, if you go to the gym sporadically without real results, or if you're tired of fitness failure, this wake-up call episode is for you.

From Couldn't Finish Zumba to Multiple Classes Daily | 100 Days of Maximum Effort

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 18:36:21 GMT

Couldn't make it through 15 minutes of Zumba? That was me 100 days ago. Now I'm taking multiple fitness classes daily and using 15-pound weights. This is the real story of what happens when a complete beginner commits to movement. No BS, no before-and-after photos, just honest progress.

In this episode, I share how I went from winded after basic exercises to crushing workouts I never thought possible. You'll hear about my first disastrous Zumba class, why I started this fitness podcast as a "digital diary," and what 100 days of consistent movement actually looks like when you're starting from zero.

If you're intimidated by the gym, struggling to stay consistent, or wondering if it's even possible to get fit as a beginner, this episode is your starting point. I'm documenting this journey because I want you to see that transformation doesn't require being perfect, but it does require showing up.

Topics covered: beginner fitness journey, Zumba for beginners, building workout consistency, strength training progress, overcoming gym intimidation, fitness motivation for women

Subscribe to More Movement Please for weekly fitness inspiration, real talk about the struggles, and proof that if someone who couldn't do jumping jacks can do this, you absolutely can too.
