Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the thought of jumping back into routine after a trip or vacation? You're not alone. In this episode I chat about my reality of juggling responsibilities while attending my best friend's out of town wedding and my own struggles of getting back on track with my routine. I'll share the real struggles of managing a family, a job, and other commitments while attempting to stay on track. I get real about the mental load that comes with traveling and the importance of honoring that and being kind to yourself throughout the process.The reality is... it's impossible to jump right back into your fitness routine after traveling, When we try to get right back to the grind we end up neglecting the mental load and exhaustion that comes with traveling. The longer we neglect that the more it piles up.I don't think this is talked about enough and I think you will enjoy this real talk and a fresh perspective!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!

Are you struggling to find a balance between staying consistent with your fitness routine while also understanding and listening to your body's needs? You're not alone!I talk about the importance of consistency...I also talk about being able to listen to and honor what your body is telling you. But what if they seem contradicting? How do we do both?I know how hard it can be to find a balance. This episode is all about how you can achieve your fitness goals without falling into the trap of the "never miss a Monday " and perfection mindset which is encouraged by diet culture. In my own experience I have found that it's important to make sure your goals align with what your body is able to achieve. It's all about showing up for yourself, in a way that embraces your body's needs and signals. Your body knows best.I know you will learn a lot from this episode!

It's time to talk about the reality of our fitness journeys. Have you ever found yourself feeling lost in the comparison and self-doubt... feeling like you should have lost more weight or that you should be further along than you are? The key is to separate yourself from the outcome and instead be sure to focus on the daily habits. I am talking to you as your coach in this episode, chatting about the cycle of comparison and the pressure of unrealistic timelines (that we usually set on OURSELVES)! But...let's change the narrative. Let's focus on the present moment and the steps we can take today to nourish our bodies and create the healthiest versions of ourselves. Let's focus on the little daily habits that define our fitness journey. You'll be surprised to see how small changes like hitting our macros, adding in a daily walk and lifting heavier in your workouts can make a significant difference. And, let’s not forget to celebrate the small victories as we navigate our way through this journey, inching closer to our goals each day.Are you more consistent? Are you drinking more water? Are you hitting your macros more often than you were a few weeks ago? Do you have a better understanding of your goals and what it will take to get there? These are all wins! Celebrate that!

I know protein is not a topic most people get excited about.... but I do. This episode is all about the importance of consuming enough protein and I think you will have a new outlook on the topic after listening to this episode. Getting enough protein in your diet can be a struggle. I want to help you make it simple and even more than that I want to let you know WHY protein is so important. Protein is a major building block of our body. Protein fuels our bodies, aids in cell repair, regulates hormones, supports muscle recovery and so much more. Sometimes when we know the "why" behind something it lights a fire under us to take it more seriously.The 3 most common struggles I hear when it comes to hitting a protein goal are "it's hard", "it's expensive", "it's time consuming". While I am not discounting these concerns I do want to offer different perspectives in this episode as well!I think you will learn a lot about in this episode about the importance of hitting your protein goal and you will feel a little more passionate about trying to hit that number. That is my hope anyway!Check out all of my fitness program options!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!

Do you ever get caught wondering if your fitness journey will ever feel like a lifestyle? What would that look like for you? Will it ever feel easy to hit your protein goal? Will working out ever become a habit? I know my clients struggle with this and I thought you might too. I have been on my fitness journey for almost 15 years and if I am good at one thing... it's making fitness a lifestyle! Creating a sustainable fitness lifestyle is more than just about losing weight or gaining muscle, it's about creating consistency in what YOU are able to do. It's about setting realistic goals that fit into your life, not the other way around. The quick fixes, the 30 day challenges and the restricting have got to go!You will need to focus on importance of daily tasks and habits rather than the huge end goal. In this episode I will walk you through my thought process and some mindset shifts to make so that your fitness journey can begin to feel simple. Your fitness journey is about you, your health, and your wellbeing.

I am sure you have heard of calorie and carb cycling and have probably wondered if it is beneficial for your health and/or weight loss journey. In this episode I will be explaining my honest thoughts on both topics. The truth is these methods might not be the best approach for you if your goal is to look good, feel good, and enjoy food freedom. I view carb and calorie cycling as something that is unnecessary and something to further confuse you in your journey. Yes, most things in the health and fitness industry have their place and are helpful for some people. The question is... is it right for YOU? Does it match your goals? Do you want to take on the hassle of counting carbs daily and living your life around high and low carb days? Is this giving you food freedom? Is this even help or necessary to get you to the goals you have? I help my clients understand how calorie and carb cycling are best naturally incorporated into your lifestyle to complement health and fitness goals. I want you to learn how this can be implemented in a non-restrictive manner and on your terms, allowing you to enjoy meals and satisfy cravings throughout the week, without the pressure of waiting for the weekend.

What if the only thing holding you back from achieving your fitness goals was your mindset and the fact that you keep giving up? Would you be willing to change that? Here are some questions to ask yourself: Do you rely on motivation to keep you going? Do you want to quit when the results don't come fast enough? Do you struggle to stay consistent? Do you show up even when you don't want to? Are you showing up as the person you want to be? Are you hitting your macros?Truth bomb... those reasons are exactly why you never get to your ultimate goal! I will always talk about the importance of persistence and consistency in your fitness journey. Too often, I see people quitting when things get hard ... unaware that the results they are working toward are just around the corner. If you just keep going for one more week ... one more month, the results you want will come. I believe in pushing through, adjusting your plan as needed, and staying the course until you witness the change. Success in fitness isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. It's not about how fast you can get to the finish line, but about the steps you take to get there. There are many different routes to success but the basics will never change. Getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, adequate movement, weight training, tracking your macros and setting realistic goals. Fitness is personal, and the key is to find out what works best for you and stick to it.Check out all of my fitness program options! 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!

Progressive overload is a pretty popular term in the online space these days and I want to give you my thoughts about it. Instead of it being another thing you have to try to navigate, I would like to help you understand what it means and whether or not it is something that you need to implement into your workouts. I do not recommend progressive overload be a focus for everyone in a workout program, sometimes it can do more harm than good. It is important to get consistent with your routine and to be able to execute good form before pushing too hard. Pushing yourself in your workouts is important and there are many ways you can do that. Whether it's the weight, reps, sets, or tempo, it's all about striking a balance and not losing sight of the fact that progressive overload is not to be mistaken for a some sort of magic, but rather a tool that can be counter-productive if misused. Remember, it's not about jumping in headfirst into grueling workouts. It's about preparing your mind, mastering the basics, and then gradually stepping up the game. Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that your workout priority should be all about setting a realistic workout schedule, getting your form right, and picking the right weights. Find out how I navigated my way back to the basics in my exercise routine and how that can serve as a blueprint for your routine.

We will chat about societal standards and the freedom to embrace and be confident in yourself.

In this episode I'm going to shed light on some technical aspects that I often find my clients questioning. We'll be reviewing the importance of rest times during your workouts, the role pre-workout meals play, and the best approach to stretching before and after your sessions. Remember, while these aspects are very important, nothing beats consistency, macro tracking, hydration, sleep, and regular exercise when it comes to achieving your fitness goals.Now, imagine this: you're at the gym, about to start your workout but you're unsure about which weights to pick or the rest time between sets... Sound familiar? I've got you covered! In this episode, I talk about the concept of supersets and guide you on how to balance rest and fatigue to get the most from your workout routine. We'll also discuss dynamic stretching versus static stretching and the role each plays in mobility, longevity, and overall body health. And I also answer the very popular question: what should I eat before a workout?Enjoy the episode!✨NEW LINK THIS WEEK ✨ Check out all of my fitness program options AND a new addition...Macro Coaching program! 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!

Have you ever focused so hard on the number on the scale dropping...assuming that's where you will find happiness? Do you tend to associate a toned body with confidence and an overweight body with lack of it? You're definitely not alone! In this episode I am talking about how to attain true happiness in your fitness journey... and it goes beyond body shapes and sizes. We are going to debunk the myth of equating fitness with happiness, proving that it's not about having the perfect body, but about nurturing a healthy relationship with food and recognizing your worth.Why do we desire a smaller body? Why do we have a terrible relationship with food? In the second part of this episode I talk about how our childhood eating habits and thoughts around food can affect our body image and relationship with food in adulthood. It's all tied together! We're going to dig into these topics and help you understand that it's not just about food and exercise. It's crucial to realize the 'why' behind wanting the body of your dreams, and most importantly, how to create a loving and positive relationship with food and your body.

I get a little spicy in this episode! I have been on my own fitness journey for 14 years and I have heard it all. So many comments and opinions on my body, the way I eat, the goals I have... all of it.When I first started I thought everyone would be proud, want to join me and get fit too! Or at least be supportive... and I was wrong! It turns out people make fun of things they don't understand or are not willing to work for. (Ope... READ THAT AGAIN)If you are on your own fitness journey you will encounter this negativity too and I want to give you a real perspective on my thoughts and some suggestions on how to handle it. And no.... my advice is not to ignore it or to roll over and take it! Along your journey you will face judgement, comparison, criticism, defeat and more... from others and yourself. It's just the way it is. Learning to expect it, navigate and handle it all when it comes is key! I hope you enjoy my real thoughts and sass on this topic!

I know it's easy to think that if you are not seeing the results you want with your workouts that you need to push harder.... do more. But does it every occur you that you might actually need to be doing less? Slowing down? Give your body a break?We, as humans, need rest. I know, I know... I didn't want to believe this either. I learned the hard way that it's true.I pushed too hard mentally and physically which led to anxiety, depression and autoimmune issues. If you are struggling with any of these things you just might need to slow down too.In this episode I talk about the importance of slowing down, what that looks like and how it can benefit you.

Macro tracking is one of the most confusing and daunting topics for my newer clients and for people that are new to fitness. It used to be very overwhelming for me too and it has taken me YEARS to figure out a way to approach macros in a way that is less time consuming and that works as a long term lifestyle.Tracking is the best way to gain the knowledge you need about food. You learn so much about calories once you start tracking and seeing food for what it actually is. Macro tracking is not a diet... it's understanding food and how it fuels your body. It's understanding fitness and not just "starting a diet". Your mindset matters the most. Approaching macros with a positive mindset and knowing this is a lifelong journey is helpful in taking some of the pressure off. So many people want to be perfect with tracking macros in the beginning and its just not possible. I have a few different ways that I think and ways that I track to make things super simple for me and I am super excited to be able to share them with you in this episode.

Mindset shifts are HUGE! Once you can think about your fitness journey in a way that makes sense to you the work becomes easier. A new outlook can really change the choices you make and those choices bring results.I am sure you have heard the analogy: Walk, Crawl, Run. It's a great analogy! I took that and turned it into a Marathon mindset. A marathon is a very long race, very similar to your fitness journey.You wouldn't just wake up one morning and decide to go run 26.2 miles without any prior training. There are steps that need to be taken to get your body ready for such a long race. Steps that will set you up for success. Preparation. You can use this "long distance" mindset in your fitness journey too. Once I started viewing my fitness journey the way I explain in this episode everything changed fro me and my body.I know you are going to love this episode!

The diet cycle and the constant obsession with your body can wreak havoc on your mental health. It's draining, it can make you feel like you are doing everything wrong, like you have no self control. It's draining. One of the biggest wins in my health journey has been my improved relationship with my body and my mental health. I used to say things like "The gym is my therapy" and "My workouts are my therapy" but that is not something I agree with anymore. I learned the hard way that workouts are not a substitute for therapy. Workouts are good for your health, physically and mentally, but they are not a replacement for seeking help if you are really struggling. You can focus on all of the right things... the macros, workouts, progressive overload, water, supplements, etc but if you don't also focus on your mental state you will not feel satisfied in your journey. Your workouts, your nutrition and your mental health are all linked but should also be addressed separately to make sure there is a balance. I get real in this episode about my own experience with my physical and mental health and I hope it helps you.

So many of my clients struggle with "falling off track on the weekends". They are able to stick to their plan during the week and then blow it when it comes to days with less of a routine. I am excited to talk to you about it and let you know my thought process and what I have learned over the years. I think what I say will surprise you.I used to struggle with the same thing. I used to measure everything I ate, plan every meal, restrict foods and then fall all the way off track. I know how frustrating it is to plan it all out and still not be able to have self control at times. But what if I told you it has nothing to do with self control or planning...!If you can relate to feeling this way then you need to listen to this episode. There are a few things you need to ask yourself and some mindset shift to make so you can set reasonable goals, stick to them and stop being so hard on yourself.

This episode is a sneak peek into how I personally switch my mentality, my nutrition and my workouts going from Winter to Spring. My goals for Winter are not the same as my goals for Spring and it takes a different mindset and different actions to get me the results I want.You are getting a "behind the scenes look" at what I do for my workouts, how I change up my macros and my exact mindset shifts to make sure I am set up for success. The mindset shift, knowing WHY Being able to adjust and make changes in your fitness journey is the key of making it a lifestyle. You cannot expect to be able to workout, eat and live the exact same way year round... and honestly, you shouldn't want to. I use the Winter to loosen up my macros and to gain muscle while I use the Spring to lose fat and lean out my body. This works best for me.I hope this episode helps you think about what will work best for you and I hope it encourages you to take a look at your current fitness plan and make some changes to hit your goals.SHRED fitness program: https://www.kristycastillo.com/SHRED Shop fitness programs at: https://www.kristycastillo.com/workout-programsCheck out my 1-1 coaching program, where we cut the BS, and learn what to do to get the results you want-for life!

Your focus determines your reality. When you are feeling stuck and overwhelmed in your fitness journey it's often because you lack focus. You are thinking about too many things at one time which causes you to not know what kind of action to take. (I know, I've been there!) You would like to lose weight, tone up, have energy, build muscle, fit in your clothes with confidence, fix your relationship with food... and on and on...You need to focus on ONE of those things at a time. This will help you make progress, see results and build momentum to keep going!

In this episode I am talking all about maintenance calories. What they are, how to find yours and why they are so important. This will help you lose weight and keep it off for life.Finding the set point of your body is so important. In fact I would go as far as to say that if you do not know your maintenance calories (your body's happy place) you will not be able to ever have the body you want. Most people are already eating less than they should be and when they want to lose weight they eat even less. That causes your body to hold onto fat for energy. You must get your calories up to a level place so you can enter a calorie deficit that will actually pay off for you. THIS is how you can eat more AND lose weight. Most people would rather skip this part and go straight to a magic pill or shake BUT NOT YOU! You are my person and you are doing this the right way!I hope you love listening to this episode as much as I loved recording it!Shop fitness programs at: https://www.kristycastillo.com/workout-programsCheck out my 1-1 coaching program, where we cut the BS, and learn what to do to get the results you want-for life!

Starting with focusing on being strong and not skinny... that would have saved me a lot of time and allowed me to eat a LOT more calories!There are so many things that can distract you and cause you to not see results even though you are putting in the work.

In this episode I go into detail about how the simple mindset shift of setting STANDARDS instead of GOALS can help you take action. I have a lot of clients that come to me with a similar problem: they struggle with taking action toward their goals. For example: You have a goal of getting in 4 workouts this week..you even put them on the calendar to ensure you have the time..and still you don't get those workouts done. WHY?!? Goals can feel exciting at first and then sometimes become overwhelming ... which causes us to not take any action at all. Setting a standard for the version of yourself that you want to become can feel empowering and you when you feel empowered you are more likely to take action.Join me for some real talk as I dive deeper into this concept!

I am excited to share with you exactly how I eat to keep my body in shape year-round. It's the most simple way to build and maintain your body.I have been "through the ringer" of diets and quick-fixes in my 14 year fitness journey and I can confidently tell you that right now, as a 41 year old, busy, mom of teens, this is the simplest it has ever been to maintain my body.I have tried it all: Paleo, vegan, Beachbody containers, shakes, intermittent fasting, carb cycling, obsessive calorie counting ... and it was ALL a dead end. The way I eat and workout now is like second nature. My body trusts me - and that is the KEY!I know this episode will inspire you to know that food freedom is possible for you too, and it's more simple that you might think!Shop fitness programs at: https://www.kristycastillo.com/workout-programsCheck out my 1-1 coaching program, where we cut the BS, and learn what to do to get the results you want-for life!

Macro tracking can be overwhelming.... am I right?!There is so much information on the internet and each person you look up to on social media seems to be teaching macros a different way! Which leaves to figure out if it's right for you and how to start! In this episode I am breaking down how to start tracking macros as a beginner. I am also walking you through exactly how I teach my clients to track macros. I specialize in teaching busy women to track and learn about macros in a way that makes sense and is doable for them... because that is how I needed it to be for me too.Early in my fitness journey I realized I did not want to be measuring out my foods, cutting out food groups or obsessing over whether the food was "good" or "bad". I knew I needed this to be more flexible and to feel like freedom rather than restriction. That is what I want for you too!I am giving it to you real in the episode (as usual) and I know you will benefit from it!

If you think you need a ton of workout equipment to see results in your fitness journey this podcast should change your mind! Most of my clients start with only a few sets of dumbbells...and this might surprise you, but that's how I started too!

In this episode I am talking about 9 different ways you can continue to level up the difficulty of your workouts and get the results you want, even if you only have access to minimal workout equipment. Here are just a few:SupersetsPyramid trainingTempo changesCircuitsKeeping your body challenged is most important and I want to teach you how to do that and not break the bank!

In this episode, I’m talking about the 3 main phases of fitness. I want you to understand what each phase entails, what will be happening to your body during each phase, why experiencing the different phases (just like the different seasons throughout the year), is necessary, and more.I truly believe knowledge is power-especially when it comes to your health and fitness, and your specific goals.

I really want to bring awareness to something that I know can be triggering for some to hear, but I also know it’s extremely important for me to share about. Disordered eating (this is different from a specific eating disorder) is something I used to struggle with, and the majority of my clients are struggling with this in some aspect when we first start working together. In today’s episode, I’m talking about:-My personal story of suffering with disordered eating-The hard truth surrounding disordered eating due to diet culture, wanting to lose weight and be smaller, etc.-Learning to fuel your body and view food differently (aka not let it control your life)Whether you’ve personally experienced disordered eating or not, it is a very real thing, and it’s just not the way to live. I KNEW this was a subject I needed to bring to light, because I am living proof that you can overcome this, and only great things will happen as a result. I absolutely love seeing the ladies I work with learn to fuel their bodies, and as a result, gain confidence, and feel fulfilled.
