The Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast

I’m excited to talk with you all about how I set up my own personal training programming in today’s episode!There are plenty of ways to set up your workouts each week, and there’s really no right or wrong answer in regards to how they should be. I’ve had quite the journey with my workouts over the years. From being an avid runner to doing only Beachbody workouts, to then finding weightlifting and falling in love with that, I’ve tried a little bit of everything!I’ve grown to love workouts that are full body focused (i.e. compound movements), and so do the ladies I work with! I enjoy getting to create full body and accessory workouts for myself and my Fit Club ladies that are both fun AND effective. While accessory-style workouts (isolation movements) are very beneficial, I’ve found that full body workouts tend to give you more ‘bang for your buck’ overall.You can totally do 3-4 workouts/week and build a body that you love. But..you’ve got to be doing the RIGHT kind of workouts + lifting heavy enough to do so!Whether you’ve been working out for years like me, or you’re just getting started with exercise, I hope you find this episode valuable as you navigate your fitness journey!In today’s episode, we cover:My personal journey with workouts + how that’s changed over timeMy decision to really shift my workouts & programming a few years ago + what that looks like nowCompound movement examples + the awesome benefits of doing theseMy current workout programming with both compound and isolation movementsHow I’m able to make my Fit Club membership effectiveWhy full body workouts tend to yield better results Paying attention to soreness and how your body recovers after workouts + why enjoying your workouts & getting results mattersHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

I’m excited to cover a highly requested topic in today’s episode - taking ‘breaks’ on your fitness journey!This has come up a lot with clients - many ladies worry about taking a break, or taking time off from their fitness routine. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, an injury that’s resulting in surgery, mental health issues, or something else, we all face struggles that require us to change and pivot.It’s totally okay to take some time off and/or adjust when you’re experiencing a major life change - especially something like pregnancy. This is a time that can vary sooo much from person to person, and you’ve got to be willing to shift your mindset and goals along the way.If you’re focused on making healthy choices for you and your baby and finding a balanced routine that works for YOU, it will be that much easier as you move into postpartum, too!This also applies to an injury, illness, surgery, and even mental health struggles. Maybe you’ve had an injury or sickness that requires surgery, or maybe you’ve had extra stress due to a shitty life circumstance. Whatever the case may be, you’ve GOT to take a step back, and give yourself a chance to fully heal.At the end of the day, we ALL experience life’s curveballs, but we’ve got to be willing to adjust and pivot along the way. Taking a break from fitness when needed doesn’t have to be a huge deal, because we’re in this for the long-term!!In today’s episode, we cover:Why it’s okay to take time off when you need to heal, experience a major life change or setback, etc.Understanding that you will need to shift your mindset and goals as you navigate pregnancy Choosing to pivot and do the best you can when you’re going through a challenging (or different) life circumstanceWhat can happen if you don’t take the time to truly recover and heal your body My personal experience with slowing down and allowing my body to ‘chill out’ when I need toPlanning ahead + visualizing what your upcoming life event is going to look like How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

I’m digging into one of my favorite topics today - MACROS! I looove the world of macronutrients (aka macros), but I’ve found this is something that gets very overcomplicated for people as they’re navigating their fitness journeys. There is no shortage of information about macros today, but even if you feel like you understand macros fairly well, that doesn’t mean you know how to make them work for you. I freaking LOVE the flexibility and freedom that macros have brought me; that’s why I’m passionate about teaching my clients and community to take more of a ‘balanced’ approach with tracking macros. I’m no longer obsessed with macros, or feel like I need to be ‘perfect’ when tracking them. However..I didn’t always feel that way, and I’ve learned a LOT on my 15+ year journey!From following rigid diet plans with color-coded containers as a Beachbody coach, to counting and measuring every.single.thing I was eating, I used to really struggle with my nutrition. I also had NO idea what I was doing! I knew I needed something sustainable so I could actually achieve my goals, and still enjoy my life.Thankfully, I chose to educate myself and took more of a ‘flexible’ approach to macros. As a result, I've built my BEST body over the last several years!I know there can be confusion surrounding nutrition labels, food measurements, etc., but you can’t get wrapped up in all of that. This journey doesn’t have to be so damn stressful or ‘perfect’. Find what works for YOU long-term, and give yourself some grace as you’re fostering a healthier relationship with food and fitness - you’ve got this!! In today’s episode about simplifying macros, we cover:How I want to teach macros + why flexibility mattersMy journey with tracking food, counting calories, tracking macros, etc.Why taking control of your long-term health and truly understanding what you’re doing is keyThat ‘perfection’ mindset that often sets in when tracking macros + finding what works best for YOUWhat to do when you’re struggling with tracking certain foods and macros + trying to hit your initial macro targetsThe confusion around nutrition labels and measurements + choosing to aim for progress, not perfectionWhy being both intentional and flexible has allowed me to build my BEST bodyHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

I’m super excited to be chatting with you, all about the Oura Ring today!I’ve been using my Oura Ring for almost a year now, and I’ve gotten quite a few questions about what I think of it. Honestly..it’s been a game-changer for my overall health, and it’s a seriously great product! I wanted to take some time and dive into what my experience has been like, and really, why I believe it’s such a phenomenal tool for your long-term health.First of all, the Oura Ring isn’t just another fitness tracker - it’s actually not a fitness tracker at all. The Oura Ring monitors a variety of health metrics, from your sleep quality and heart rate variability, to your daily activity, resilience, menstrual cycle (a huge reason why I wanted it), and more. It literally breaks everything down and is customizable to YOU; it gets to know you on a deeply personal level. The Oura Ring has really transformed my health and fitness, and has helped me better understand other important metrics I didn’t think about as much (or really know about). I feel like it’s more of a ‘balanced’ approach to tracking too; it’s given me extremely accurate data without me falling into the trap of obsessive monitoring like I have in the past. Whether you're curious about tracking your sleep or menstrual cycle, managing stress, or simply wanting a clearer picture of your overall health, I hope this episode gives you the knowledge you want (and need) to know about the Oura Ring! In today’s episode about my experience with the Oura Ring, we cover:My previous experience with the Apple watch + our society’s obsession with fitness trackersWhy I wanted to try the Oura Ring + the specific factors it tracksWhat my personal Oura Ring stats are like on a typical dayThe 5 tabs that show up in the Oura Ring app + how the Oura Ring is customizable and unique to YOUWhat the readiness, sleep, and other various pages within the app provideHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

Today’s episode topic may be a bit of a ‘buzzkill’, but..we’re going there anyway!An ongoing challenge that many of us face (it comes up ALL.THE.TIME. with my clients), is staying on track on the weekends. There’s a variety of reasons why people tend to fall ‘off track’ regularly on the weekends, but this episode isn’t going to be filled with a bunch of corny ‘tips’, because this isn't a 'one-size-fits-all'. I recently went out of town over the weekend and had a blast, but I didn’t go ‘balls to the wall’ either. I chose to stay ‘on track’, and was very mindful of my macros, getting movement in, etc. It’s totally possible to do this, and you need to learn how to navigate your weekend successfully because they ARE coming every single week (who knew right?!) Weekends aren’t an excuse to eat like an asshole either. When you decide, commit, and plan out your weeks and weekends (and stay consistent in following your plan), you actually have more flexibility on the weekends too!Weekends do NOT have to derail your progress when it comes to your fitness journey. No more continuously falling ‘off track’ - YOU are in control. I want you to find confidence in what you’re doing, and the steps you’re taking to better yourself & your health!In today’s episode, we cover:Understanding that staying ‘on track’ on the weekends is never a ‘one-size-fits-all’My recent weekend adventure + why I didn’t completely fall ‘off track’ by going out of town & being off my normal routineLearning to plan for the weekends because they ARE coming every single weekWhy you need to stop quitting every weekend & starting over on Monday + realizing YOU are in control of thisFueling your body correctly if you want to have a strong and healthy body'Decide, commit and plan' + actually following through and being intentional with what you’re doingPlanning your weeks out so you actually have more flexibility on the weekendsWhy your body NEEDS certain foods, nutrients, etc. + being consistentCelebrating your wins and progress along the wayRelated episode mentioned: Episode 129 | Being Obsessed with Your Habits Instead of the Outcome of Your JourneyHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

One of my favorite things to talk about is habits. They are so, SO important when it comes to unf*cking your fitness, and honestly..I want you to be obsessed with your habits! When I say ‘obsessed’, I don’t mean that in a super unhealthy way of course. But..I DO want you to be obsessed with the habits you’re creating and implementing, instead of being obsessed with the outcome (yes, there’s a difference)! Your habits should be a priority, and something to honor and protect, no matter what's happening in your life. Just because life gets crazy or throws you ‘off track’ for whatever reason, doesn’t mean your habits should go out the window.While the results and end goal(s) you’re working toward matter, I would much rather you focus on building sustainable habits you enjoy, and can maintain long-term! Whether you need to improve your relationship with food, find a fitness routine that works for you, etc., you HAVE to get crystal clear on how you’re going to get there. You also need to make sure you can (and actually want to) continue what you’re doing to keep those results, because if not..why even bother doing so in the first place?!The information I’m sharing here probably isn’t brand new or earth shattering, but I hope my real, no BS approach (like always) is just what you needed. I want you to freaking LOVE the habits you’re building and truly enjoy the process so you CAN achieve long-lasting results, regardless of where you are on your fitness journey! In today’s episode, we cover:The importance of your habits + protecting & honoring them, regardless of what life throws your wayWhy being obsessed with the ‘outcome’ of what you’re doing shouldn’t be the only thing you’re focused onWhy fixing your relationship with food is essential + breaking down how to actually do thisUnderstanding that if you’re not getting the results you want on your fitness journey, you’re not putting in the right kind of workFinding a sustainable way to achieve your goalsLearning to truly ENJOY the habits you’re creating so you can do them long-termRelated episode mentioned: Episode 127 | How to Effectively Shift Your Workouts, Macros and Mindset from Summer to FallHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

Today’s episode is one that has definitely been on my heart lately, and after talking with many of you on Instagram, I found out it’s something I NEED to talk about here! When it comes to your fitness journey, I’m sure you’ve wanted to give up at LEAST a time or two along the way. We all experience struggles and hardships through various seasons in life; it would feel sooo much easier to just throw in the towel, and give up on ourselves, right? Maybe you’re not seeing results as quickly as you hoped, or maybe what you’re doing feels a lot harder than you thought it would be, and you don’t know if you can keep going. Whatever it is, trust me - I’ve BEEN there! I’ve been on my fitness journey for over 15 years now, and I’ve had to adjust and pivot many times. I’m pretty much a boss at doing so, and that’s why I love helping my ladies do that when they need to!Taking a ‘pause’ and actually slowing down to figure out what you need to do next is super beneficial, and will truly help you in NOT giving up. You must believe that you’re worthy of committing to, and even when things get hard (because they inevitably will), you and your health ARE worth putting effort into! Be confident in what you’re doing, and get crystal clear on WHY you’re on this journey in the first place. We’re ALL busy and we all experience tough sh*t along the way - that’s just life. It’s okay to slow down, ‘chill’ for a bit, and get back up when you’re ready - you’re not a failure or ‘less than’ for doing so. At the end of the day, I want you to believe that you ARE worth it; choose to celebrate yourself and what you’re doing, and never give up on yourself!In today’s episode, we cover:My decision to continually pivot and adjust when I need to, instead of ‘give up’ on my fitness journeyPausing and taking some time to figure out what you really need in the season you’re inUnderstanding that you ARE worthy of committing to and not giving up onFinding confidence in whatever your reason(s) are for wanting be healthy and fitGoing back to the basics and looking at everything you’re *actually* doingThe habitual ‘busyness’ that plagues all of us in our society today + learning to slow down and ‘chill’ a bit when you need a breakHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

It’s hard to believe, but summer will soon be coming to an end, and fall is right around the corner. This is the time of year where I transition my health and fitness routine to prepare for the new season, and I love helping my clients do the same! While there are some changes you can make for the cooler months ahead, this doesn’t have to be drastic or overwhelming.So often, we tend to overcomplicate our health habits, and automatically think cutting calories/eating less is the best option. In reality, you probably just need to move your body more, and make sure you’re eating enough!Establishing simple and sustainable habits will ensure that you can actually stick with them consistently, regardless of the season OR life transition. When you’re crystal clear on the workouts you’re doing, your food and meal ideas, and even how you want your home to be in this season, it all becomes super simple and totally doable.Life can be really messy, and (especially) as busy women and moms, we NEED to keep our fitness and nutrition as simple as possible. Let’s stop overcomplicating everything, and stop pushing ourselves to the backburner when sh*t hits the fan. It’s time to get back to the basics and simplify our fitness, nutrition, and mindset. I’m excited for the new season, and for progress in new ways - I hope this episode encourages YOU as you prepare for the upcoming season, too!In today’s episode, we cover:Why you need to increase your steps and overall movement instead of cutting your caloriesUnderstanding that life will put you through many transitions + the importance of establishing simple & sustainable habits along the wayHow your workouts can vary during different seasonsThe importance of training vs. doing random workoutsGetting back to the basics + making a list of what you need to get done in your home, with your health and fitness, etc. Keeping your fitness & nutrition (UN)complicated, so all of it becomes habitual and easily fits into your lifeThe current season I’m in with my mindset, workouts, body changes, and moreEpisode mentioned: Episode 66 | How to Set Up Your Environment for A Successful Fitness JourneyHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

As a health & fitness coach, I've worked with a variety of clients over the last several years, and I've learned that every single woman I work with has a desire to change her body in some way! Typically, my ladies are undereating when we first start working together. However..that’s not the case with everyone. Whether you’re undereating or overeating, it often comes down to your lack of awareness and mentality around WHY you’re eating the way you are.Many people think overeating means that you’re just eating a ton of food, all the time, but that’s not necessarily true. If overeating becomes a consistent habit for you, it can lead to disordered eating, which unfortunately, changes your relationship with food. Undereating or overeating isn’t something you set out to intentionally do - it’s usually because you’ve experienced a major life change or stressful situation, and you turn to food to cope with it. Your mindset and emotions REALLY come into play here, and if you don’t choose to get trusted support from someone who can actually help you, you will stay stuck in this cycle.While your workouts, macros, water intake, sleep, etc. are important, your mindset and self-esteem is what truly matters. You’ve got to take ownership of your situation, put a plan in place you’re excited to commit to, and work with someone who has your best interest at heart. Ultimately, I hope this episode is a valuable reminder for ALL OF US to be less judgmental and more empathetic towards others and their bodies, too!In today’s episode about understanding overeating, we cover:The 3 types of women who come to me for support with their fitness & nutritionThe lack of awareness and mentality that comes with both undereating and overeatingWhat overeating actually means and how this can impact your relationship with foodThe key role that cortisol plays in overeating + what tends to lead to overeatingFactors that contribute to both undereating and overeatingUnderstanding that even when you know what to do, you won’t always follow through with doing itThe crucial role your mindset & emotions play with overeating + why you will continue to struggle if you don’t get trusted support5 tips to help get you into a better & overall healthier place if you’re struggling with undereating or overeating How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

When it comes to your fitness, do you tend to follow a plan..or your mood?Maybe you’re not feeling motivated to work out, track your macros, or drink more water. Maybe you’re just not seeing the progress you thought you would by now, so you’re ready to say ‘f*ck it’, and throw in the towel all together. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this from ladies over the years; I’ve felt like this many times too, but I’ve still showed up, and put in the work anyway. When it comes down to it, you should NOT be making decisions on your fitness journey, solely based on how you feel!There are some factors to keep in mind here, like following a fitness plan that allows for flexibility so you actually CAN be consistent with it. When you start something that is doable for you in your current season of life, you’re way more likely to stay committed to it. Perfection is never required when it comes to your health and fitness, and it’s vital that you look for positive progress outside of just your body weight (like your nutrition, workouts, water intake, sleep, mindset, etc.). Getting into the habit of doing the boring and ‘unsexy’ stuff really matters, and even more so when you’ve hit a plateau, or just aren’t ‘feeling it’.Yes, your feelings are very real and valid, BUT..that doesn’t mean they’re facts. I hope this episode is a valuable reminder for you to not only give yourself some grace (we all need it sometimes), but also, show up regardless of how you feel. I want you to get shit done so you can enjoy your life - this is how you unf*ck your fitness, friend!In today’s episode, we cover:Why you shouldn’t be making decisions on your fitness journey solely based on how you feelThe importance of finding consistency + practicing flexibility with your fitness and nutrition planWhy redundancy with your plan/program is NOT bad thingFocusing on progress beyond just body weightWhy paying close attention to how you feel one day matters, because it can easily change the next (especially if you’re feeling negative or ‘stuck’)Getting into the habit of doing the boring and ‘unsexy’ things, no matter whatUnderstanding that feelings are very real, but they’re not factsFollowing a plan that is flexible with both your particular life + the changing seasonsHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

It’s been a bit since I’ve talked about it, but today’s episode is going to cover a topic that is very important to me: mental health. I’ve been on my own mental health journey over the last few years, and I’ve learned just how closely related it is to your physical health. I’ve been going to therapy for awhile now, and I’ve also been on medication - we all go through shit, and we MUST be able to find support in ways that work for us. I'm sharing a bit more about my personal journey in this way, and why it’s VITAL that we openly discuss our mental health struggles when they arise.I’ve learned the power that comes from expressing your feelings and actually speaking out loud what you need-suppressing emotions can negatively impact your physical well-being, leading to a variety of unwanted issues. It’s also okay to not have all the answers - I’m currently in a season of better understanding myself and who I really am. I’m ready to take up space unapologetically-I don't need to change myself, or try to fit in a neat little ‘box’ that society thinks I should be in.Healing out loud is an incredibly beautiful thing, and a huge part of my story. If you’ve ever felt inadequate or are struggling with confidence in your life, I hope this episode encourages you to prioritize your mental health alongside your fitness goals, and get support where you need to. Don’t be afraid to take up space in YOUR life, because you matter, and you’re already enough!In today’s episode, we cover:Normalizing mental health struggles & using medication when you need toUnderstanding that your mental health is directly connected to your physical health, because your body and your mind work so closely together The importance of expressing your feelings and actually saying what you needMy current season of working through better understanding myself and really figuring out who the f*ck I amNavigating the whole ‘take up space’ movement as womenAll of the ‘shoulds’ that are pressed upon us as women, and especially as we become wives & mothersRealizing that you’re already ENOUGH, just as you are How gaining confidence seeps into your fitness journey + every other aspect of your life tooFollow Caroline Middlesdorf on InstagramHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

I’m excited to talk all things fat loss in this episode, and really, what it looks like for you to enjoy your favorite foods, treats, and drinks, while living your best life! We often get stuck in the ‘all or nothing’ mindset that comes with following a certain diet. When we lose weight with said diet, we think it’s somehow magical, when in reality, it’s simply because we’re cutting out certain foods and drinks (aka in a calorie deficit). This isn’t actually teaching you anything - it's just setting you up for failure, and keeping you in the vicious dieting cycle. Tracking your food doesn’t have to be obsessive or time-consuming, but you DO need to do it. If you’re not giving your body enough fuel, your metabolism will be impacted, and your results will come to a plateau.

I want to kick off today’s episode by sharing some exciting news - this podcast recently hit 500k downloads, which is a HUGE milestone for me as a podcaster! I really want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for being here (whether this is your first time, or you're a long time listener). I absolutely LOVE getting to show up and connect with you in this way, and I’m very happy my message has resonated with so many of you. I’ve gotten some recent requests to share more about my journey, my challenges, and what my everyday life looks like, so that’s exactly what I’m diving into today.While I do enjoy sharing snippets of my life on social media, I’ll never share every single part of my day either - it's not possible, nor is it something I want to do! I want you to understand that I’m a REAL person who struggles with my nutrition, fitness, mental health, and more too - I’m not some unicorn who has it all together and is always kicking ass! My current season of life has been super unpredictable, pretty hectic, and I’ve rarely felt in control with my everyday routine. I’ve also learned to pivot and adjust when necessary, and focus on making progress where I can.I’ve been on my fitness journey for 16 years now, and I’ve experienced many highs and lows along the way. I’ve learned to embrace growth, chaos, and everything in between, but more than anything, I’ve learned to be authentically ME. I hope this episode shows you that I’m not always motivated, I’m far from perfect, and I’ll never give up on myself - I hope you don’t either, because you’re worth fighting for!In today’s episode, we cover:Why I enjoy sharing on social media, but I’ll never share every single moment of my day (and you shouldn’t feel like you need to either)Understanding that I’m a real and relatable person who struggles and doesn’t have it all togetherMy current situation of living very ‘day to day’ with unpredictabilityLearning to pivot and adjust where I’ve needed to on my 16 year fitness journeyHelpful habits I try to stick to and/or fall back on as much as possible (no matter how crazy busy life gets)Realizing that life won’t always look this way, or feel quite as chaotic as it does right nowHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.

Today’s episode is covering kind of an ‘unsexy’ topic, but it’s something that is crucial for anyone on a fitness journey. When it comes to the workouts that you’re doing, your specific fitness training MATTERS. I have ladies come to me all of the time, sharing that they feel like they’re working out and doing everything they ‘should’ be doing, but they don’t see (or feel) the results they’re desiring from their workouts. While you can do workouts that you love (i.e. fitness classes, running, etc.), you can’t *only* do workouts that you love. Yes, moving your body regularly is a wonderful thing and you should be doing that! But..you WILL need to incorporate weight training if building muscle and changing the way your body looks is a goal.This will feel uncomfortable along the way - I’ve been there too, but nothing worth having is going to feel super easy when you’re starting out! I can’t stress how important it is to be training with purpose (like utilizing progressive overload). When you’re both specific and consistent with your workouts, not only will you change the way your body looks, you’ll also achieve strength, longevity, and overall improved health.So yes..the way you train f*cking matters! If you’re frustrated with what you’re doing and you’re not getting the results you crave, it’s time to get support from an expert. I would love to help you figure out a better way to reach your long-term fitness goals, and ultimately, build a body you love!!In today’s episode, we cover:Understanding that you can do workouts you love, but not JUST workouts you love + why training to build muscle is not the same as simply ‘working out’Why you should have some kind of physique goal(s) as you age and are actively working to add muscle to your bodyHow training to build muscle and lose fat (aka body recomposition) will be different than training simply to lose weightFocusing on progressive overload with your workouts + how this will look with your reps and restWhy you need to be both specific and consistent with your training, regardless of the workout plan you choose to followChoosing movement that you love and will also support you in building strength and long-term healthHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

You’ve probably heard the saying ‘old habits die hard’; this has been a common theme among many of my clients lately as they’re navigating their fitness journeys and implementing new habits. This probably WILL feel hard at first, because changing your habits (even if you’re excited to do so), is never a smooth or easy process. This doesn’t mean you should give up on being able to successfully do so, but you have to figure out how all of this is going to look for you in YOUR unique season of life.Maybe you’re dealing with the infamous #momguilt that makes you feel like you can’t prioritize yourself, feeling guilty about indulging in your favorite foods, setting healthy boundaries with your loved ones, or something else. Whatever life situation you’re experiencing (all of these are real examples my clients have been working through), you have to realize that while changing your habits is going to feel uncomfortable, it will get easier over time.It’s totally possible to stay ‘on track’ and make progress toward your goals when you have the right tools and support in place (that’s where I come in for my ladies)! It’s also okay to go at a pace that feels doable for you, and won’t leave you in that vicious ‘I’ll start again on Monday’ cycle. Ultimately, your body, your health, & your life is your responsibility. This shit is NOT optional, and I know you have what it takes to create lasting change on your fitness journey! In today’s episode, we cover:Why old habits die hard, and new ones aren’t necessarily ‘easy’ to make time for and implement into your lifeThe never-ending struggle of #momguilt + the importance prioritizing yourself along the wayWhy you shouldn’t beat yourself up for eating extra foods & treats when you’re having fun and enjoying lifeSetting boundaries with your family and friends in social settings Understanding that getting ‘off track’ is going to happen sometimes + choosing to recognize it, get support where you need it, and keep moving forwardRealizing that the state of your body & your life is YOUR responsibility + why it’s also okay to make changes gradually and at a pace that works for youHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

Summer is officially here - it’s my favorite time of year! It’s also a time that seems to throw so many of us off track with our health and fitness goals, so it’s something that I’m regularly talking about with my clients. I know our schedules are different and extra ‘stuff’ is often crammed in during Summer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn to adapt along the way. Whether it’s the literal change in season, or a different ‘season’ in your life (like getting married, having a baby, changing careers, etc.), you totally can stay on track with your fitness goals, and still enjoy your life along the way.The reality is, we ALL have circumstances that are going to make us pivot at times, so it’s important to set yourself up for success, and get support where you need it. Whatever ‘track’ that you’re currently on, that track has to be realistic for you. You should be prioritizing the ‘unsexy', foundational things that will allow you to keep progressing toward your fitness goals, and keep it simple when it comes to your food and workouts.You better believe I’m staying focused on my fitness goals, but I’m also enjoying myself this summer - I want this for you too! Make sure the ‘track’ that you’re on is attainable for you, be intentional with what you’re doing, and have FUN this summer!!In today’s episode, we cover:Understanding that you HAVE to be willing to adjust and pivot during different ‘seasons’ of life (both literal and figurative)Choose the ‘track’ you’re currently on + make sure you’re setting yourself up for success and being realistic with what this looks like for youHow I lay out and organize my schedule each month to fit in my ‘non-negotiables’ for my health + how you can tooWhy you need to make sure your workouts are actually geared toward your specific fitness goalsThe simple foundational things you can start doing right away that will help you with reaching your fitness goalsSome of my current favorite foods & snacks for summer + what this looks like with my current scheduleTaking inventory of what you’re already doing + staying focused on your goals while still enjoying life and having fun this summerHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

Today’s episode is all about supplements - those trusty aids that really can positively impact your fitness journey! Honestly, the majority of supplements I currently use I have been for awhile. I’m a creature of habit and don’t change up my routine too often..especially if I’m using something and it’s working well for me. I want to share more about my top picks for supplements (like why they’re actually beneficial), and why I personally enjoy taking them. In this episode, I’m discussing my supplements routine, and how these tried-and-tested products have supported me through different seasons of life. From the critical role of protein in muscle growth and maintenance, to my go-tos like protein powder, glutamine, creatine, essential amino acids, and more, I’m diving into all things supplements, and why these specific types may be helpful for you to add into your own regimen. Just like with anything I share, I’ll always be transparent and authentic about what I’m doing. I’m not super strict about my supplements, and have learned to change and adapt when necessary as my body changes, as I get older, etc. While supplements can be incredibly beneficial (and I do believe they’re more needed now), it’s vital that you find what works best for YOUR unique health and fitness needs - it won’t look exactly like mine, or someone else’s. Wherever you are with your fitness journey, I hope this episode gives you some valuable insights on supplements, and of course, optimizing your body for long-term health and wellness!Related episodes mentioned:Episode 7 | Supplements 101: My 7 Favorites, and How They Can Benefit Your Health & Fitness Supplement Guide (mentioned in episode)How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into 3 popular health trends that I’m frequently asked about - juicing, detoxing, and intuitive eating! With all of the Summer vacations, holidays, barbecues, and more happening this time of year, it seems that many of you think that juicing and detoxing are the best ways to help you reset and ‘get back on track’ after indulging a little too much. They’re almost like a form of punishment, and something to continually fall back on as you stay trapped in the vicious ‘on again, off again’ dieting cycle. Like..what’s the point of this, and what good is it really doing you?!I’m also sharing my very real and unfiltered thoughts regarding intuitive eating, and what I see so often with the ladies I work with who are ‘eating intuitively’. I don’t believe you should just ‘wing it’, and simply guesstimate what/how much you should be eating - I would rather you take some time and learn how to track your macros, so you can properly fuel your body for the long-term! ALL of this comes down to intentionality with your health and fitness goals, and the habits you choose to build for yourself. Ultimately, I want you to find freedom with your food and be in tune with your body so you CAN feel empowered and confident in your everyday life. If you need support doing so, I would love to help you do that!In this episode about juicing, detoxing and intuitive eating, we cover:Why you don’t need to do a juice cleanse or ‘detox’ after every vacation, holiday, special occasion, etc. + what would be more helpful to do insteadTaking time to consider WHY you continue ‘going off the rails’ or ‘falling off track’ so often + how to actually stop doing thisMy thoughts on intuitive eating + the eye-opening results my clients typically see when they start accurately tracking macrosWhy macro tracking doesn’t have to be a tool that you absolutely dreadRelated episodes mentioned:Episode 17 | Intuitive Eating: What Is It, And Should You Be Doing It?How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

In today’s episode, I want to dig into a topic that has been coming up a lot in conversations I’ve been having with sooo many ladies lately: the unnecessary pressure and judgment from others regarding your nutrition and fitness choices. This is something that fires me UP; I’ve dealt with this often myself throughout my fitness journey, so you better believe this one is going to be spicy! Unfortunately, judgment from others will always be there, but I want to tackle this subject as it relates to your health and fitness. While it can be really tough to stand up to others when they’re questioning your food and drink choices, you have got to STOP making yourself uncomfortable by giving in to them. This isn’t helping anyone, and constantly feeling like you have to conform to what others are doing can really derail you and your goals. For some reason, people think that if someone is choosing to eat healthier and skip the drinks, they feel the need to comment, and make them feel guilty for doing so. Yet, when others are throwing back the alcohol and eating allll the shitty foods, no one questions a thing. Talk about a double standard!!At the end of the day, YOU have to be assertive, and f*cking stand up for yourself - you don’t owe anyone an explanation for anything. It’s time to embrace your healthy habits, and be proud of what you’re doing on your fitness journey - I’m always here to talk and will happily encourage you when you need it, too!!In this episode, we cover:The unnecessary judgment we often receive from others + why you need to STOP making yourself uncomfortable in order to make other people feel comfortableUnderstanding that your family and friends probably aren’t trying to sabotage you and your goals, but they also have no business commenting on what you’re doing The never-ending pressure surrounding food and alcohol in social settingsThe ‘double standard dilemma’ when it comes to healthy choices in social settingsWhy you need to stay strong and stand up for yourself, and realize that you owe no one an explanation for your food and drink choices (‘healthy’ or not)How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

I’m fresh from celebrating my 43rd birthday + my daughter's graduation and party; honestly, there were sooo many celebrations during the month of May! It has been a LOT, and I’m finally coming down from the ‘high’ of all of it. Even with everything that’s been going on in my world lately, I’ve learned that it’s STILL possible to make progress toward (or at the very least, maintain) your fitness goals! I thought this episode would be the perfect time to address a couple of questions I received regarding food timing + hunger cues, as well as what types of workouts are best to do.I hate to break it to ya, but there’s NEVER going to be a ‘perfect’ time to start something new - whether it’s with your fitness, nutrition, or something else. You have to be willing to start messy, go slow, and get help where you need to. Perfection is not possible, and it’s not achievable - you shouldn’t be striving for that with your nutrition and fitness. No matter how jam-packed your schedule is, you should be able to navigate all of those ‘‘holy shit’ and ‘what if’ moments that life throws at you, and not feel like you’re going to completely fall apart. Ultimately, I want to help you unf*ck your fitness so you CAN make progress, and have some fun along the way, too!! In this episode, we cover:Knowing that while life has seasons, there will NEVER be a ‘perfect’ time to start something new, and we all have our own sh*t going on Getting your foundations solid and in place first before worrying about all of the little detailsUnderstanding that there is a certain amount of food/macros that your particular body needs + why you need to be eating close to that amount consistentlyFinding an eating schedule with your meals and snacks that works best for YOU and your daily lifeListening to your body when it comes to eating before and after your workout + why your hunger cues are super importantWhy the types of workouts you’re doing matter more than you may think + what to do when it seems like you’re growing muscle too quicklyHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

Today is a pretty special day - it’s my 43rd birthday!! After a pretty fun (but also VERY chaotic) last couple of weeks celebrating my daughter’s high school graduation and grad party, I hope to be somewhere relaxing, and enjoying some peace and quiet on my birthday.You could say life has been pretty overwhelming for me lately, and I’ve been hearing that from many of my clients and other ladies as well. For today’s episode, I really want to share some very real talk when it comes to your health and fitness, and also, my honest thoughts as I’m celebrating another year around the sun. There's no way to get around doing the ‘work’ when it comes to reaching your fitness goals. Whether you just started or you’ve been at this awhile, you HAVE to be realistic and intentional about the actions you’re taking, and stop overcomplicating every.single.thing.At the end of the day, you need to be taking positive action and working towards your goals in a way that works for YOU long-term. Life is too short to always be stressing about hitting that ‘magical’ number on the scale, hitting your macros perfectly, and so on. I feel like the older I get, the ‘spicier’ I get too, but I feel like I’m in a place now where I can truly embrace confidence and happiness, regardless of the season of life I’m in - I want the same for you! I hope this episode encourages you AND gives you the kick in the ass you need to take control of your health & fitness - you are worthy of doing so, and you’ve got this!In this episode, we cover:My honest thoughts on why you really haven’t seen the results you’ve wanted with your health and fitness so farWhy there’s no way around you doing the ‘work’ when it comes to achieving your fitness goalsWho you surround yourself with matters more than you may thinkThe importance of the content you’re consuming on a regular basisWhy the beliefs you hold about yourself absolutely matter, regardless of what anyone else thinksFocusing on finding true confidence and happiness, instead of obsessing over the scale, your macros, water intake, steps, etc.How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

I don’t know about you, but the month of May has been pretty crazy, and has flown by! Between Mother’s Day, my wedding anniversary, my birthday, and other special occasions (like my daughter's high school graduation), it’s a fun month I always look forward to. I also know this can be a challenging time of year as kids are finishing up school, and everyone is transitioning to summer..which also means you may feel like you won’t be able to stay on track with your fitness goals. I used to feel this way, but over the years, I’ve gotten to the place of realizing I CAN make positive progress - you can too! It all comes down to consistency, and being super intentional with what you’re working toward.Soo much of your health and fitness is super simple - you don’t need to overcomplicate everything, contrary to what the diet and fitness industry wants you to believe. It really comes down to actually knowing your long-term goals, and staying committed to the process - even if your weight loss, muscle gain, etc., is going slower than you would like it to. I want you to start building sustainable habits that work for YOU, no matter what your season of life looks like right now.I hope this real talk episode gives you the encouragement you need to stop quitting on yourself, and take action to keep moving forward. Staying consistent with your fitness goals doesn’t have to feel daunting or unachievable, just because it’s Summer time - I know you can do it, and I’m here to support you on your journey, too!In this episode, Navigating Busy Seasons and Staying Consistent with Your Fitness Goals, we cover:The realization that you really CAN achieve your goals, once you get back to a place of listening to your body and being intentional with what you’re doingBeing able to enjoy foods that you love to eat, while gaining control and tracking macros in a way that works for youWhy slow and steady weight loss is NOT a bad thing + knowing your long-term goal(s) and committing to the changes you’re making Building sustainable habits and finding those little wins along the way, no matter how crazy busy your season of lifeHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

Today’s episode topic isn’t necessarily groundbreaking information, or anything you’ve never heard before, but..it’s pretty damn important! When it comes to your health and fitness, intentionality is KEY. While it’s a pretty basic concept, too often, we ‘unintentionally’ drift into unhealthy habits (or habits we weren't setting out to create). We don’t usually realize this has happened, but it can feel really difficult to get back to being intentional with our workouts, macros, water intake, sleep, and so on. The truth of the matter is, you will NOT be able to reach your health and fitness goals long-term without being intentional - end of story! I’ve learned that there’s no such thing as ‘winging it’ - you’ve got to know your purpose, and have some kind of plan of action so you know what you’re working toward. You need to be making deliberate choices to create the life you want, instead of just letting life ‘happen’ to you.No, you don’t need to wait for next Monday, next month, or next year to start making progress toward your goals.

Today’s episode is covering a VERY requested topic I’ve gotten lately - the smart scale!I personally use the RENPHO Smart Scale, and I absolutely love it! I highly encourage my clients to get a smart scale, because it tracks SO much more than a typical scale that just gives you your body weight. The smart scale provides some pretty fascinating data when it comes to health metrics, but I promise to keep the information I’m sharing here simple and digestible (no BS like always!), so you can see how this would potentially benefit you and your specific health goals, lifestyle, etc. In today’s episode, I’m talking all about understanding the smart scale, and the unique metrics that are possible when utilizing this device. From tracking your BMI (body mass index) and body fat percentage, to the different types of fat (subcutaneous and visceral), skeletal muscle, bone mass, and more, the smart scale is giving you information for all of YOUR specific metrics. The smart scale even gives you information on your protein intake and why protein is so important, your ‘body water’ (so you can see how hydrated you really are), and your metabolic age (which is different from your ‘actual’ age).My goal with this episode was to break down these numbers and metrics, and really help you take more of a proactive approach versus reactive approach with your health. It shouldn’t be difficult or feel overwhelming to use your smart scale; I’ve found that doing so will absolutely improve your relationship with the scale, which is pretty powerful in itself. I hope that learning about the smart scale gives you the confidence and control with your health and fitness that you deserve, friend!The RENPHO Smart Scale (which I use and love)!How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

I’ve been noticing a common theme when working with my clients lately - it’s also something that I’ve experienced myself, and have come to realize I’m really good at doing. The ability to be able to pivot, and really embrace more flexibility on my fitness journey in a way that feels authentic to me has helped me SO much - it’s kind of my specialty. I’ve been at this for over 15 years now, so you could say I’ve had to pivot a time (or two) along the way! I’m currently in an extremely busy and chaotic season in my own life. While a lot of these are new things I’m navigating and am figuring out as I go, I’m also NOT letting it keep me from prioritizing my fitness and nutrition. Taking time to plan your fitness and nutrition around all of your day to day ‘stuff’ is key. We’re ALL busy, and while I think this often can be an excuse, I also know you can’t juggle ALL.THE.THINGS in every season of life you’re in. Sticking to a program that is too rigid with little wiggle room will lead you to feeling like you’re a failure when you miss a workout, or eat foods that you ‘aren’t supposed to’. I can’t stress this enough - the ability to pivot well in your fitness journey is super important. In order to NOT quit, you have to learn how to pivot, adjust when necessary, and embrace change - I truly believe this should be a welcomed part of your journey!In this episode, we cover:Planning your fitness & nutrition around all the other ‘life’ stuff you have going on in this season Understanding that being ‘too busy’ is an excuse, but also realizing that balance really is a facade and you can’t juggle #allthethingsHow I support my clients with ‘pivoting’ their health and fitness as they’re navigating different and challenging seasonsWhy you need to stop setting yourself up for failure and set yourself up for success insteadDoing an 'audit' of your schedule + what this looks like in my own life right nowRelated episodes mentioned: Episode 55 | The #1 Skill You Need To Master To Get Into Amazing ShapeHow to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

Have you ever felt like the scale is basically your worst enemy when it comes to your health and fitness??I hear often from the ladies I work with that they’re either weighing themselves daily and are super fixated on the results, or they’re never stepping foot on the scale and want to steer clear of it all together. Either way, the scale still seems to control SO much of how we feel about ourselves and our overall health. This is something I've personally struggled with in the past, because the scale used to hold so much meaning for me too. Fortunately, I’m in a place now where I don’t dread stepping on the scale. It’s simply a metric for me to celebrate my body’s capacity for strength and transformation; the number staring back at me doesn’t dictate how I feel about myself, or my worth. While I do believe the scale can be very helpful and it is important to understand, it’s not the ‘be-all, end-all’ when it comes to your health and fitness. It IS possible to foster a healthy relationship with the scale - one that aligns with your fitness goals and your emotional well-being. No matter where you fall when it comes to the scale, I want you to be confident in yourself. You ARE worthy, regardless of what that number says!In this episode, the importance of fixing your relationship with the scale, we cover:Deciding how often you’re going to weigh yourself + not letting it have a mental or emotional ‘hold’ over youWhy having a positive relationship with the scale DOES matterMy journey with the scale growing up + why so many of us are still negatively impacted by the scale as adultsMy experience using the Renpho smart scaleUnderstanding that you can change your body drastically, within just a few pounds5 key things that actually help my clients in regards to the number on the scaleThe Renpho smart scale (mentioned in this episode)How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

I will say this forever....consistency is the key to getting the healthy, fit body you want. Patience plays a big part as well. I started my Spring cut a few weeks ago and it has been a SLOW progress. In years past I would have gotten very discouraged and went to drastic measures to lose a few pounds. This year I am proud of my mindset and ability to show up despite not seeing changes on the scale. I have been reminded of the importance of consistency during this process and in this episode I am giving you little update on my cut as well as some insight on things I have been reminded of, I think both will help you. Slow and steady wins this race. I think this episode will be a good reminder of what matters in this journey and will give you reassurance that we ALL struggle and that the progress will come if you put in the work.

The entire point of unf*cking your fitness is to think about things differently, in a way that actually works, so you can stop the diet cycle you are stuck in.Do you "burn off" calories you've eaten?Do you do extra cardio so you can eat more? Earn your food?Do you obsess over macros and calories? I used to do those things too! The good news is you can redefine your relationship with fitness and food!Imagine appreciating each calorie not as something to burn off on the treadmill but as the energy that takes you through life. This episode will help you understand how sustainable fitness is more than just workouts and food tracking; it's a way to build a healthy body you love. The way you think impacts the way you act. There are essential mindset shifts that will transform the way you view your health journey and therefore change the action you take. In this episode I explain my simple process and how I made this mindset switch so I am able to have a very healthy relationship with food, movement and my body. Let's make another mindset shift and make fitness an enjoyable and long lasting part of our lives.

This episode is a great conversation about how to approach the topic of health and fitness with your kids. I get asked about this commonly and I feel like I can't give that advice since I don't know your kids. So instead, lets have a conversation about things to take into consideration when deciding how you want to handle to topic of food in your home.I started lifting weights (little weights 😆) when my kids were 2 and 6 months old... that was 15 years ago. I have lived through my own fitness struggles and raised my kids through some of my messed up eating habits. Guess what?? They turned out fine!There is no "right way", no "one size fits all" answer. I suggest a few things:Fixing your relationship with food and your body so you can be an example.Deciding how you want your kids to view health and fitness.Realizing how you grew up and what you want to change for your familyThose are just a few of the things discussed in this episode! I hope this helps give you some things to think about, and keep in mind ... your family does not need to think or look like anyone else's family.👚 Kristy Castillo Fit MERCH is available now!💪🏽 How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

Carbs have been demonized for far too long, and it's time to set the record straight. We have made so much progress in the health and fitness space with weight lifting and overall treating our bodies better... but the fear of carbs is still alive and well and it needs to stop.I would love to help you realize you can have a healthy mindset around carbs and that YOU can be in control. Carbs come in different forms: oatmeal, rice, bread, fruit, veggies and oreos. YOU can choose what you would like to fill your plate with. You can decide what foods work for you. But, you need to know that your body needs carbs for energy and other reasons discussed in this episode. Fearing carbs isn't doing you any favors if your goal is fat loss... trust me, I am speaking from experience.I hope this episode helps to equip you with the know-how and confidence to enjoy the foods you love, while creating balanced nutrition, while also building a strong healthy body.As always I love hearing from you and I appreciate you rating, reviewing and sharing the podcast!👚 Kristy Castillo Fit MERCH is available now!💪🏽 How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.

I have felt bombarded on social media lately with ads of products promising to improve my face, my body, my digestion, my sleep (and just about everything else... and honestly... I'm sick of it. It makes me feel like I can't get away from the pressure of buying something or looking a certain way. Social media in general has become overwhelming lately and the constant feeling of needing to look, shop and workout the way someone else does and it has me feeling irritated. Please join me in this episode as I talk about it all!As women (I can't speak for men) we are always pressured to do more, be more, be prettier and act like we have it "all together" and it's exhausting. I can see my 18 year old daughter being tempted by social media as well and as a Mom that is terrifying. This episode is a conversation about these things. The pressure and the constant messaging we endure daily to be something we are not, to try to modify ourselves to fit into a box we are simply not meant to fit in. I can't fix it but I hope this brings some awareness and let's you know you are not alone.

Every season in my 15 year fitness journey has been a lesson in determination and grit...a test to see if I would quit or keep going! This current season is proving to be the same. This episode is about my current personal struggles as well as my mindset to get through it. There is always something that could be in our way if we let it... life, family, health issues, self sabotage. There are always reasons and excuses why we can't get started: I'm too busy, I'm too old, I'm too overweight. I want to drill into your mind that - It's not too late! Whatever the goal is...it's not too late! At 42 I know my life and body are going to change and I know I can figure it out and keep going. It's not too late for me or for you! Even if you have a long way to go... it all starts with the first step1 I have learned how to navigate changes for myself and my clients and I know it's important for you to be inspired too!

The title pretty much says it all! "THIS SH*T IS NOT OPTIONAL".I see so many people approaching health and fitness with an optional mentality... When it's gets hard, you quit. When it's time consuming, you quitWhen it feels uncomfortable, you quitWhen you are not motivated, you quitIf it "doesn't work for you", you quitA lot of things in life are not optional... health and fitness should be one of those things.From the moment I realized this was a life-long journey I decided to never quit. Sure, I have had my share of set backs and difficulties but I never gave up or stopped completely. It's hard (so hard) to show up and workout or track my food when I don't want to... but it's also hard to parent, or work, or to do many other things I do in a day but I show up and do my best in all things.The difference is the mentality and how I think and speak to myself: It's simply not an option to go more than 2/3 days without a workout. It's not an option to hit my protein goal. I will no it no matter what.You need to adopt this same mentality if you want to keep showing up. At first it will feel forced and before you know it you will be doing new habits without thinking about it.

Most of the ways I see other people approaching macros do not work for me. For example: Have you ever found yourself knee-deep in tupperware during a weekend meal prep marathon, only to end up with food that you don't even want by Wednesday? Yeah, me too.. and I hated it. I needed to figure out how to make macro tracking work for ME!I started learning about macros at the same time I learned to budget (which I talk a lot about in this episode). I saw success through being perfect with both and thought I needed to maintain that perfection to maintain the results. This quickly became impossible and I knew I had to figure out how to make macros fit into my life, not the other way around. This episode is full of real talk that you NEED to hear. I love to discuss and teach macros in a way that makes it seem doable for anyone. With a mindset shift, some planning and permission to screw up I think you will find it's more simple than you think!

Do you get stuck wondering why it feels like you never get any closer to making progress or reaching your goals? Sometimes you even feel like you are working hard but you still quit or get stuck!? Things always happen to cause setbacks in your progress?? There are 4 traits, mindsets, attitudes that I have noticed in myself and my clients over the years that cause this feeling of being stuck.

I'm sharing my personal insights on why a January slow start isn't just okay—it's actually pretty smart. (If I do say so myself!!) What happens when the excitement of a fresh start meets the reality of old habits? What happens when you realize you bit off more than you could handle? That's where we need to pivot to creating resolutions and standards that actually stick. I'll break down how to set goals that won't leave you feeling defeated by the rest of the year and the secret sauce to sustainable success (hint: it's not just about the grind). From taking on one habit at a time to finding accountability in unexpected places, this episode is packed with little game-changing strategies that have improved not just my fitness routine, but my business too.

This episode covers two important topics: The mindset you need to see success with macros and the correct way to find your calorie/macro goals.If you approach macros from a place of restriction you are doing yourself a disservice. Macros are the way you fuel your body for longevity and true health, it's not a quick fix. I help my clients view macros differently and this episode will help you too! Knowing how to set up your macro targets is a common struggle and I wanted to be sure to give you my practical thoughts on that topic. Finding your maintenance calories is the first step to setting up your macro goals (not an online calculator). I think you will appreciate the simple, personalized strategy I give in this episode.

Let's chat about the current most popular fitness trends I am seeing all over Instagram! I can't get on social media for any amount of time without seeing something claiming to get rid of the "mom pooch" or "snatch your waist" or release trauma in my body. And as you can imagine.... it drives me crazy. These posts and videos are most commonly created to gain views or mislead you into believing you need what they are selling ... NOT to actually help you. The marketing can be tricky! They target our deepest insecurities and use key words to grab our attention. We are so easily persuaded by the visual that we fail to think through whether that person is qualified to make such claims and whether we need what they are selling. Knowledge is power in the fitness game, the more you know the less you will be distracted by the shiny objects or tempted to try yet another program that is just a sleazy marketing tactic.

I believe that you do have to understand and track macros to really have success in your health and fitness journey. I don't know if I have ever said that in such a firm way before (since it's not going to match everyone's opinion) but F-it.... it's the truth. I am going to stand by my opinion here.

It sounds a bit cheesy to say "macros and workouts changed my life" but, honestly, they did. When I really took the time to look back on my journey from the restrictive and obsessive lifestyle I was living to what I went through to get to the freedom based fitness lifestyle I currently live ... I was shocked at how much different I am now. How different my life is now. I no longer view food as restrictive.I no longer view workouts as punishment.I am no longer obsessed with my food, workouts or what my body looks like. I no longer care what anyone is trying to sell me .... I don't need it.This episode is personal and I think you will benefit from hearing the reality since it's rarely talked about in the fitness space. I hope this episode inspires you to take charge of your own health and fitness.

I remember feeling like fitness was something I would never be able to fit into my life... not long term anyway. I felt like I was constantly giving up things I loved or rearranging my entire life to meal plan, meal prep and workout. It seemed impossible to do it all. I eventually realized that I needed to do it my way and make it fit into my life, not the other way around. One-size-fit's-all fitness plans were not working for me. I needed something I could actually stick to, that I enjoyed and that would give me the results I wanted... a strong, sexy, fit body!I coach a lot of women who come to me in this same situation, having tried program after program and feeling like a failure because they can't make it work! Trust me... it's not you, its them! Cutting out your favorite foods, trying to get to the gym after a 12 hour work day when you have a home and family to get to, feeling stuck and not making any progress.... I have been there. In this episode I will walk you through a little bit of my journey where I realized how I could make it work and how you can too! A simple mindset shift that will help you realize that it's possible for you too! You CAN seamlessly integrate fitness into your daily routine without having to restructure your life around it.

Sometimes it's hard to know whether you should hit the gym or hit snooze when you are feeling under the weather. Sickness is something I used to struggle with in my fitness journey and since I have been sick for going on 7 days ... I decided to get real in this episode about how I have navigated these last few days to hopefully give you permission to navigate in a similar way when you are sick.Being able to listen to and understand your body is vital when you are sick. Your body needs to trust you and pushing it too hard is never beneficial. I know the importance of listening to my body and understanding the value of rest days. "Control what you can" is a quote I live by always but especially in these times. In this episode, I share my personal experience on the blurred lines between self-care and commitment to fitness goals. Taking a day off does not need to viewed as a failure and it doesn't mean you have to "start over". The alol or nothing mindset doesnt do us any favors here. I also share my own tips and tricks on making the most of rest days. It's all about recognizing that fitness is a long-term marathon and not a short-term sprint. I hope you enjoy this episode as an open and honest discussion about the importance of resting during sickness and the role of self-care in our fitness journey.Check out my fitness program options to help you reach your goals!https://www.trainerize.me/profile/kristycastillofit/Kristy.Castillo/Check out my 1:1 coaching program, where we work closely together to cut the BS, and learn what to do to get the results you want-for life!
