Fit Womens Weekly Podcast

Today is the perfect mix of everything. We're going to talk about shopping (ugh), life, and being the best woman we can be by learning how to balance being a delicate flower (lol) and a macho woman. Both are needed and both are okay to accept. Additionally, what 3 pieces of fitness equipment do we recommend to create a home gym and going deeper... how we handle anxiety and overcoming exercise addiction. Get more by going to FitWomensWeekly.net and following Kindal @TrainerKindal on IG and @AshleyDrummonds.  Let us know what you want to hear more of! 

If you ask Stacy, she'll tell you that I've been a blessing to her. That's not true. The moment I became her trainer, I was the one blessed. So much to learn from this woman and so much inspiration. After several tours through Iraq as a combat photographer, Stacy was forced to leave the military after sustaining severe injuries from a bomb. Her life changed, her lifestyle changed and her mind and body changed. Listen to her story as she explains how the ketone diet has helped her seizures and how finding a womens studio has given her back her "team" and purpose. You guys, if you only listen to one of my podcast, listen to this one. For more from Stacy, follow her @slpearsall on Instagram and for more from me, head to FitWomensWeekly.net and @TrainerKindal on Insta.

Hello friends! In this week's episode, Ashley and I hit on quite a few topics... the biggest being: Is it possible to gain muscle without fat? And if so, how?  What kind of workouts should you do? What should your nutrition look like to fuel a body to gain a few healthy pounds of muscle and strength. As someone who has gained 15 pounds, you can imagine I have a few things to say about this one. Oh and let's talk pimples! To get more from Ashley, check out @ashleydrummonds on Instagram. For more from me, @TrainerKindal and fitwomensweekly.net for the best training programs for busy women who want killer results.

6 week nutrition challenges are popping up all over the place, and recently Ashley (@AshleyDrummonds) and I received the question... "Why does this particular meal challenge have my friends eating nothing but tilapia and asparagus?"  Our thoughts on this rigid meal plan plus catching up on our life happenings, workouts, books and more. Listen in and let us know what you think about 6 week challenges! Motivating? Or silly? Make sure to follow along on Instagram @TrainerKindal and subscribe over on iTunes :) 

Macros, intermittent fasting, paleo, Whole30, keto... it's as if we need a plan to survive and eat. The other day I was telling Dan that I was going to start IF (intermittent fasting) with Alex to which he responded with... "Why do women need a plan for eating!? Why can't you just eat good food, leave out the sugar and just eat when you're hungry?" The man has a point. For so long, I've been tracking macros or trying something. Have we (women) forgotten how to naturally eat? Why do we need a plan? I talk about it today and also fill you guys in on some random happenings!

Girls Gone Wod with Joy and Claire is one of my favorite podcast. It's two friends sitting together and talking about life, food, fitness and everything else in between. But recently Joy has been having a lot of deep chats about body image, what's positive and what's negative and how women are bringing one another down on social media by showing off their bodies instead of physical strengths. As someone who has battled exercise addiction and food obsessions, I get it. But That doesn't mean I don't have a counter argument. Luckily, Ashley (@AshleyDrummonds) is with me and we share VERY similar thoughts on positive body image between ladies. So sit back and enjoy. If you have thoughts don't hesitate to share!

I'm the same but Ashley... she's the queen of balanced training.

It's just me today! I wanted a chance to catch up, explain some training goals and tactics and share how I've achieved an ab goal I never thought would be possible.

We've heard stories about the women who lost their periods due to high intensity exercise, so they cut back for a bit, ate more and voila... period returns. (Listen to Ep 111 for Tina Muir's story). But that's not always the case. What happens when you cut back on exercise, relax more with food, and nothing happens? No period, no hormonal changes... just frustration and more waiting. That's what's going on for my friend Emma (@healthybalancewithemma). I feel honored that she asked to share her story and the steps she's taken to work for her fertility. In today's episode she shares everything. What led her to not have a period. How long she waited before seeing a doctor. And the steps she has taken since to try and regain her fertility. Please be kind and share some love as this is a very personal episode and takes a lot of courage to share. Love this episode? Listen to more at iTunes and give a review!

Ashley (AshleyDrummonds.com) is back with me to discuss an issue that seems to be popping up everywhere: under eating. You've likely seen women talking about losing weight while eating the most they ever have. Or women having a hard time losing weight because they aren't eating enough. In the current trend of Macros, undereating and overeating are getting lots of attention. Recently, we've heard undereating being used as an excuse for lack of results and even weight gain... so let's talk about it.  We break it down and explain the truth about not eating enough vs not fueling enough. There's a difference.  We also talk wine, finds, and workouts. Enjoy!  Listen in and make sure to subscribe.

We all can agree on two things: 1). Social media is an important part of our society 2).
