We are honored to have our first call-in guest be our big brother, Bill Mayo! WooHoo! Calling in from Louisville, Kentucky and dropping truth bombs and wisdom around Fitness, Mindset and the importance of Community and CrossFit! He just turned 40 and has done just about anything he puts his mind to and succeeds no less…that’s no exaggeration, listen in and find out yourself! It’s about discipline, drive, and not letting fear stand in his way. He lets us in on the inside scoop of why people who CrossFit just love it so much, the misconceptions about it and weightlifting, the importance of the community and how mindset is everything. Don’t worry, as much as he is knowledgable and sounds super intelligent he is still our big brother, so theres a lot of ridiculousness along the way!#ConfidenceThroughStrength—————Real Tip of the Day: THE BILL MAYO WAY Finish what you start, quitting gets easier every time you do it, and be fore you know it you’re too afraid to start anything.

We frequently put out surveys on the Instagram asking what you’d like the next episode to be about…and this is a F2BR request! This is a topic we are not well versed in. We tried all of the popular and expensive products growing up and I am happy (and not so happy) to report that none of them are on the Do list! Genetics plays a huge part in all things self-care, so take that for what it’s worth and of course, always consult with a professional doctor or dermatologist for all of your individual needs and inquiries. We are learning right along with you, and super pumped to put some of these tips into play in our nightly skin care routines! Check below for all of the links to where we found our information.—————Real Tip of the Day: Cabinet HabitA client of mine perked my ears when she noted how munch consumerism plays a part in trends and purchased products. Why are we quick to buy the latest product and clutter up our cabinets with stuff we don’t even end up using?!? CLEAN IT OUT! Open those drawers and cabinets and instead of asking if it brings you joy, ask yourself if you actually use it! If you don’t, toss it. It’s as simple as that.Lets make it EXTRA! Fix Your Face!Listen back in the episode where we talk about Skin Cycling ( min sec) and try it out!

She is the personality behind who we are and why we have so many bloopers. She has experienced many things in her lifetime, tried all the jobs, started all the businesses, and the one that stuck fo the past 26 years is her beloved dance studio, Carmela’s Dance Studio, in Springfield, Pa.

The importance of a good support system in your life is incredible.

*Trigger warning for those who have eating/food disorders. In this episode we will talk about weight, weight loss, dieting, healthy lifestyles and personal experience with it all.Life is all about balance! With technology and social media we all have instant access to legitimate facts…but also unsolicited or marketed personal opinions. When it comes to nutrition or “dieting” it is easy to get sucked into the quick fix of “fads” and that’s what we are going to chat about today. We have done a majority of those fad diets and we have to let you in on a little secret we have realized along the way.—————Real Tip of the Day: Prep for Success!If you are not prepped, you are prepped for failure, for stress, for more work for yourself. Set aside 1 day out of the week to cook and box up your meals. Maybe its just one meal. Maybe its just healthy snacks. Whatever you prep for your Monday - Friday, we guarantee you will feel more at ease with making decisions, having more time, and feeling less frazzled each day.Lets make it EXTRA! Package? I’ll PassIf it is in a pre-packaged container or bag…PASS. Go for clean, healthy snacks and meals for 5 days and take note of how you feel at the end of the week. We guarantee this extra step will be all the difference!————If you want to workout with us, at home or in person, check us out www.CFITfitness.com We would love to have you join the CFIT Community :)Follow us for updates, inspiration, and ridiculousness!Instagram: @fittoberealpodcast Instagram/Facebook/Tik Tok @cfitfitnessReferences:“Miami Diet” —-> South Beach DietBook: Skinny BitchThe Most Popular Diet Trends on TikTok in 2022Top 6 Diet Trends of 2022The 17 Day Diet10 Principals of Intuitive Eating

At the end of 30 days realize what brings you all the joy and do more of that!Lets make it EXTRA!From your journal realizations, take something that feels more challenging for you to get through and try to perk it up with a badass outfit or accessory or something you really love and see if that little piece of confidence you added makes it that much better to get through.————If you want to workout with us, at home or in person, check us out www.CFITfitness.com We would love to have you join the CFIT Community :)Follow us for updates, inspiration, and ridiculousness!Instagram: @fittoberealpodcast Instagram/Facebook/Tik Tok @cfitfitnessReferences:Billy’s Crossfit Gym! www.ButchertownCrossfit.com Insta: @butchertowncrossfitMom’s studio! www.CarmelasDanceStudio.com Insta/Facebook: @carmelasdancestudioCFIT Gear! www.HBICbynicole.com Insta: @hbicbynicoleOur 1st fitness job in NYC! www.mdancefitness.com Insta: @mdancefitness

Have we mentioned that we're "real" yet? You would think saying hello, our names, or the title of our new podcast would be a breeze...guess again! We grew up in the theater world, so hand us a monologue or 8 bars and we've got you covered...ask us to stand on stage and talk about ourselves and we will be sweating bullets. Gross. I know. As it turns out sitting on a couch with a full soundboard/microphone set up also makes us a little loopy.To be completely honest, there was about 15 minutes of "take #5," "take #12," "take #23"...but we're still figuring out how to do this whole tech thing, and it all got deleted! Don't worry, they'll be plenty more each episode. We guarantee it : )-------If you want to workout with us, at home or in person, check us out www.CFITfitness.com We would love to have you join the CFIT Community :)Follow us for updates, inspiration, and ridiculousness :)Instagram: @fittoberealpodcastInstagram/Facebook/Tik Tok @cfitfitness
