Fit Womens Weekly Podcast

This episode, Dan is back with me and we are relaxing and talking about some of the stories that have been hitting the media lately.  The New Year is always really crazy with stories about weight loss, fitness, workouts, nutrition, food, and so much more. So we thought we'd talk about it, share some insights, hopefully get your insights, and see what we can learn. You'll learn why obesity seems to be growing faster and faster and what can we possibly do to help slow it down. Why Instagram is dishing out insanely fit and big booty women and whether that's something that's motivating or not. How dieting is not so popular anymore. Plus some of the biggest fitness trends for 2014. These are all predictive of course, but it does seem like a lot is going to be changing in the new year.

This episode of What The Fitness is all about the New Year. However, Dan and I thought about new ways to think about getting in shape. We came up with ten good ideas that are different slants on how to approaching being healthy... about how to get in the best shape possible... and so much more.  You'll learn... Why you should stop thinking about losing weight altogether. Why calories have nothing to do with the health of food. Why how intense your workout is means nothing when it comes the effectiveness of your workout. Why the key to success in 2014 should be to scare yourself silly. Plus so much more. I really hope you enjoy this episode.

This was a really fun and powerful episode with Margaret of PhychologyOfAppetite.com.  Margaret is so smart and will really make you think about weight loss, exercise, your body image and so much more.  You're going to learn: The internal benefits... the stuff that really matters... of exercise. The best motivators to get started and how you can start using them. Why a smaller dress size isn't enough to sustain an exercise habit and always leads right back to weight gain. Why you should forget about dieting and even forget about food and focus on this first. Why we crave sugar and how you can turn the tables and fight back to regain control. I hope you really enjoy this episode and please leave your comments.

So you may or may not have heard the news about how much more it costs to eat healthy. It's been all over the main news channels, so I'm sure you heard. In light of this big dollar amount, we thought is appropriate to give you some great ways you can add more healthy food into your diet for much much less than the so called "experts" say. You'll learn the "P" word that holds all the power... it's completely revolutionized out weekly food budget. In fact when we don't follow it... everything falls apart. You'll learn a grocery shopping trick I use to save anywhere from $10 to $30 per week in groceries. $30 obviously being on the high end. You'll learn how a few small and simple decisions can give you enough money to buy all the organic food you need. Plus so much more.  I hope this episode of the podcast helps give you at least one good tip you can use to add a higher quality of food into your daily diet.

These are the five damaging admissions you need to know about going into the Holiday and New Year seasons. Many trainers, companies, and other people bash each other... bash the way they train... and so much more.  These little tifs that trainers and nutrition experts get in can really hurt how you see results.  In this podcast we are going to talk about 5 big hidden admissions that trainers use. You'll learn things like: What trainers and nutrition experts use to prove their point even though nothing is actually ever proven. What the real best type of training actually is and how you can start doing it very inexpensively. The best nutrition advice you can possibly get. The real reason you want to get healthy... and it has nothing to do with your trainer. Why being successful too fast can be the kiss of death. I hope you enjoy this episode and please leave us a 5 star review and some comments to let us know how to get even better.

Mike Boyle... no relation to Dan or I... is an amazing trainer and he's been a mentor for so long. Incredibly honest... talented... and with more experience than most trainers combined.  I think you'll really enjoy todays's podcast because it's a break from the "run your body into the ground" style of training and more about what type of training actually works. And when I say works I mean works to make you healthier, stronger, fitter, and live longer with no injuries. In this interview you're going to learn... Why the best exercises are the oldest and most basic. Plus what those exercises are. Why women tend to lack upper body strength and one way you can go about helping that. I love this becuase it differs from my opinion a little. The most important thing is this. If you don't have it... if you don't do it... you need to start immediately. Why training proportionatly is a waste of time. Just think about what your day typically looks like.  Get going and listen to this interview. I hope it helps you to tak

This weeks episode can come off as promotional, but it's not intended to be at all. It's a great interview with Chris "The Kiwi"... the creator of Athletic Greens.  This is a greens supplement that I have used a lot myself. I really love the product and I think greens supplements and supplementation as a whole is something that will become more and more popular.  Considering the fact that our food supply is clearly tampered with, supplements might play a bigger role in our lives. Anyway, in this podcast you are going to learn: Why even if you're healthy, you could have your body turn agaisnt you.  Why multi-vitamins are mostly a waste of money. Why you should consider greens supplements. What makes Athletic Greens different and the story behind it. Plus a lot more! I hope you lean a lot in this episode. Consider trying Athletic Greens of any greens supplement to see how you react and feel. It might be something you love. Only you can make that call.

Last week we talked about how to get started now, before the Holiday season really gets kicked off.  This week it's all about how to create a fitness plan from complete scratch so you can easily get going and work to build that healthy fitness lifestyle. It's a lot easy than you think... follow these 8 steps and you'll be there in no time. You are going to learn why you should just forget about food... at least for the first 4 weeks. You'll learn the best type of workout to get your started and why it's so effective. Discover the one type of "exercise" that's a must and how it doesn't have to take long at all to do. The one piece of equipment that you should go out and buy today. Super important. Why you need to take some time to reflect about your goals... if you don't do this then getting started probably isn't even worth it. And of course the one things that's probably the most important. It's one of the reasons to get started in the first place.

This is a really important podcast episode for so many of us. The Holiday season is amazing... I love it. But at the same time it also drives me crazy. It's stressful... it can be a little overwhelming... and temptation is everywhere.  That's why Dan and I think today... or tomorrow... the day you're listenting to this is the perfect day to start a fitness program so you can get in killer shape... shed some body fat... and feel amazing through the Holiday season.  Even better you'll be sitting pretty on News Years day feeling and looking great. Sounds pretty good right.  Well to do that, you need to know these 7 tactics to really unleash the best fat melting mission you can.  You'll learn things like how to set goals... what books you should probably take a look at... where to train... plus so much more.

This episode is a return of sorts to a more regular broadcasting of What The Fitness. We are going to come at you regularly... every Tuesday with a podcast. Today we're talking about th 5 fundamental rules you must follow if you want to shape your stomach into a sexy flat stomach or even a six-pack. It's funny because this has to do with a bet my husband and me have going on right now. So that's why we think it's really important to talk about flat stomachs.  Not to mention the Holiday season is going to be upon us super fast this year. All of these are great rules you can use to make sure you don't get bloated or pack on those mid-section pounds.

David Epstein is the author of the Sports Gene... it's a really great book and that's why I wanted to interview him. In this episode of What The Fitness you're going to learn...

And what are women's downfalls in these areas. The one racing event that women should compete against men in and beat them in!

Dan, my husband, is back in this episode. We catch you up on things happening in our fitness lives including cool things we've read and have done.  In particular, you will learn about a new study that shows the young generations of today are less competitive. What does that mean if anything? We also talk about the great six pack bet. However, this is not like any six pack bet you've seen before because the parameters are much different than you would think. I like to call it the empowering six pack bet. We talk about testing on our bodies. Right now we are in the middle of a nutrition test. Experimenting on your body is a great way to learn how it reacts and what you can do that will really make a difference.  I hope you enjoy this episode and please leave a five start review in iTunes.

This was a talk that Dan and I did last weekend. We really enjoy talking together as always we end up talking about all sorts of things. I swear, we try to stay on one topic but then it just goes all over the place. In this episode we talk about our recent paddleboard expidition... our first time trying stand up paddleboarding.  We also talk about giving things up for the short term but they not sticking with something that is really good for you. What our favorite oils are. And of course what we've noticed with clients both in person and online... that fitness first tends to produce better long term results when it comes to weight loss, strength, and happiness.

I have such a cool interview for you today. It's with Cora... The Lingerie Addict at www.TheLingerieAddict.com.  She is so amazing and we had such a great talk.

This is something Cora is very passionate about and I think you'll agree 100%. Make sure to check her blog out.

It's been so long since Dan and I had a good conversation together. We have decided that when we talk now, we'll keep our conversations to one topic rather than go all over the place. I hope this helps you get your training in a better place so you can see better results. In this episode, we talk about getting started with bodyweight training, when it's good to move to weights and maybe even kettlebells.  I think this is all about thinking about training differently and to give you some good ideas about how to progress safely and how you don't really need to progress to weights if you want to. But you'll see what we mean. Enjoy the episode!
