Fit Womens Weekly Podcast

This is such a cool episode of What The Fitness. I interview a good blogger friend of mine Lindsay Cotter of CotterCrunch.com In this episode we talked about what it's like being married to a professional athlete... aka... her husband is full time triathlete. This does affect her sanity both good and bad. It's really interesting. You probably are thinking does this make her feel more pressured to workout harder or be more strict on herself? We'll talk about that. We also talk about following your heart and your dreams which she did and make a huge change. It inspires me to go bigger with my dreams for sure. I will! We also talked about how to listen to yoru body and know when to take a break. Plus how to have a great marriage by setting goals and supporting eachother. Finally we talk about blogging and why it's so much fun and how to get started.

We need more kettlebell! Marianne Kane is a kettlebell expert and she has so many great tips about kettlebells and women's training in general. I think you're really going to enjoy this episode.  You'll learn... How to choose a kettlebell so you get one that will last you a lifestyle and feel good. You are going to learn how to avoid common injuries and how to get started safely.  You'll learn what weight of kettlebell you should buy first. They are pretty expensive but so worth the investment. Finally we talk about the best exercises to get started and how you can safely progress with kettlebell training. 

This episode is one of those random shows where we cover all sorts of different stuff. Our guest is one of our trainers, Ashton. She's an amazing trainer, great motivator, and hyper competitive which is powerful.  As you'll see she has a lot to say and you will probably relate to her immediately. 

This is a great interview with an amazing trainer and woman, Alli McKee. She lives in Baltimore and she's a great trainer. I love her outlook on fitness, exercise, and living. You are going to love it too.  You are going to learn about finding something that works for you when it comes to fitnes and nutrition too. Nothing is ever going to be perfect but they can be close based on you. You will also learn about how not to fall into the trap of following the crowd and doing something just because it's expected or becuase it's the hot new things. This goes with all things like fad diets, paleo, vegan, and even workouts like crossfit, yoga, running, etc... You can do this by keeping things fresh and doing more fitness classes or getting outside of the classes altogether and doing things that fitness trains you for. Learn to use your body and your new found strength for things outside of the actual exercise class. Finally, you'll learn that exercise is for more than just your body. It's for your mind and soul. Thi

Okay, it's no shocker that juice cleanses are all the rage these days. I just got through the Blueprint Juice Cleanse and I have to say it was the best one I've done. Granted I've only tested one other, but this one was great. It had calories, it didn't make me feel like I was going to diet of energy starvation, and the juices tasted great. In this interview - we don't do any real promotion so don't worry about that - Rather we talk about juicing as a whole. What are the benefits? Can you really lose weight on a juice cleanse, should you do one... should you not do one... all the the information about juicing as a whole.  It's a great interview and I really want to thank Blueprint for doing this with me. Check them out. I like them.  If you want more from me, then my blog has it all. Also come train with me every week... 24/7... whenever you want to and melt fat through a great diet and awesome workouts.

This is such a fun interview today with Jenny and Heather of Sporkfoods.com. They are vegan chefs and they are so knowledgable... it's insane. You are going to get so many golden nuggets.  Of course we talk all about vegan cooking tips and tricks to help you be faster and increase taste too. We also really went in deep about how to make a transition to a vegan based lifestyle.  You are going to learn how Jenny and Heather became vegan themselves. It has to do with their parents but not like you may expect. You are also going to learn about their amazing cookbook which is a great deal over at SporkOnline.com. I highly suggest you get yourself a copy!

This episode of What The Fitness is another great one... as always. First off, sorry for the echo. We ended up having to use Skype and Skype is known to give issues like this when recording and doing interviews. But the content in this interview is incredibly helpful.  I talk with Molly Galbraith. She is a business owner and has her own gym now In Kentucky. She used to be a figure competitor, but like me she stopped doing them because of how harsh they were on her body. You'll learn more about that. Make sure you take note of this and why what you see is not always healthy. We talk a lot about training for women. In particular, strength training and weight training. This is great to listen to because as a woman you need to get into strength training. It does not have to be weights, you can use bodyweight but you must get off that endless treadmill run and do more strength training. Finally we talk about her butt. She's always gotten compliments about how firm and tight her butt is. She actually has a Twitter

This is episode is such a good one. You are going to meet Kyla who is a business owner - personal trainer. She's a figure competitor and really amazing at it too. Take it from me, that is a tough sport and she does it super well. You'll learn about how she trains and what allows her to be successful and not.  Plus we get into the process of doing figure competitions, the ups and down. While you may never want to be a figure competitor, it's very analogous to life. Ups and downs are part of the process and how you handle both will determine if you continue to move in the direction you want. I think you'll learn a lot from this section. Finally we talk about nutrition and supplements. Always great information to know about. Make sure you go subscribe at Lifting Revolution, my blog, and if you want some personal trainer to help you hit your goals then all you need is to check out Fit Women's Weekly. 

This is a fun episode of What The Fitness where we bring my hubby Dan back into the mix. In this episode we talk about how you view yourself and we look at it in two different lights. One from a perspective of being negative and how other women do not respond well to that... but then we also look at this from your own perspective.  Recently there was a Dove Soap campaing that looked at beauty in a different light. It's a pretty good subject and relates very closely with exercise, nutrition, and the base reasons why you workout. We also talk about how to get and stay motivated to push yourself. We've talked a lot about this in the past, but this is a little different because we talk about events and do you need some type of even to get yourself motivated. What about you? Plus there is a lot more great stuff going on. Make sure you check out the blog where we consistently post up taining help like our recent 30 different types of plank exercises. This is a great directory to help you build better workouts.  If

This is a great interview for this episode of What The Fitness. Mandy Anderson is a certified L.E.A.N. coach and has been dealing with cystic fibrosis for her whole life. She is a true inspiration not just because of that, but also because of the many different set backs she had to deal with in her life.  She's a health coach now and somebody who I would suggest you add to your reading list. You are going to learn a lot, plus you'll get so motivated knowing that you too can accomplish your goals and get through any tough time you may be dealing with.  Enjoy the show. Make sure you visit Mandy at her site here. Also check out Lifting Revolution and Fit Women's Weekly for more personal trainer and weekly plans for exercise and nutrition too.

I am beyond excited to share with you this interview I did with one of my boot campers, Kim Schofield. I call a lot of women amazing, and trust me they all are. Kim is a special bread of amazing. She's proof that you're capable of making radical lifestyle changes... getting fit and now only fit, but strong and powerful... and she's proof that it's a realization that can set you free. You'll see what I mean. She was pretty big and not very healthy growing up. She always thought she was stuck in that body, but she soon had a realization that she was not stuck in that body. She had the power to change it and it was not permanent. I think you'll learn a lot about yourself here because you might be holding yourself back by a limiting belief. Then you'll learn about how she got healthy and amazingily fit. If you could only see her workout, she would blow you away. What's really great is how her husband is part of her team. They got healthy together and continue this amazing journey together. It's shaped them for th

First I want to say that this episode was recorded while I was on the Blend retreat in Park City Utah. I have lots of special guests on this episode... women that I am very blessed to call my friends now. However because of where we recorded and what I was able to bring with me, the audio is low at certain points. I'm sorry about that. I did the best I could. In this episode, you'll learn about how to get started making the lifestyle changes needed to be really healthy. Finding what works for you and your body and mind. You'll hear the personal stories of these amazing women that make the changes themselves and that lead lives that make them happy.  You're also going to learn about getting started with exercise and making it part of your life. That's what really separates those women who are forever fit and healthy... they've made fitness and being healthy a centerpiece of their life.  I hope you enjoy this special episode.

This is such a great episode of What The Fitness. I have the privledge of interviewing Miss Zippy of MissZippy1.com. She is a Mom, a writer, and a certified running coach. Plus she's a wonderful woman and good friend.  In this episode we talk all about running. Miss Zippy is a believer in natural running so we will definitely talk about that. The more you learn about this the better decisions you'll be able to make to help your running and what shoe is perfect for you.  We talk about training for an event and really go in-depth about how to set it up and do it. This is very helpful if you're a runner that like to do anything from a 10k or above. Gosh, even if you run 5ks and you're new to them, this can help make sure you have a lot of fun and post good times.  Enjoy this episode and make sure you subscribe and rate What The Fitness on iTunes.

This is a fun episode of What The Fitness with just Dan and I. During this conversation we talk about a bunch of different things like... Why one of our clients, Sherry, is going to be a major weight loss and strength success story. She does something that most women are not willing to do, but it's a good example of what it means to want it really badly. I think you'll learn a lot from Sherry and how she is approaching her weight loss efforts.  We also talk about why women find guys with guitars more attractive and the gym going guy the least attractive. Plus why verbal motivation is not as effective as you would think when it comes to exercise. However, there is more to this story than you know.  I really hope you enjoy this weeks episode of What The Fitness and make sure you check out Lifting Revolution for more great fitness and nutrition training and advice.

You've probably never heard of Jess, but she's an amazing woman. She is actually one of my boot campers here in Charleston. She's been a client for a very long time and more importantly, she's an incredible inspiration to women everywhere looking to not to just lose weight, but transform their bodies for strength too. In this episode of What The Fitness, Jess shares how she lost over 25 pounds in just 12 weeks. She talks about training, tracking her nutrition, and making those daily decisions that really count.  What's great about Jess is she's not like a celebrity who is paid big bucks to workout and look good. She does it because it's part of her lifestyle and that alone makes her feel strong and great about herself. Remember that! I hope you enjoy the episode and make sure to check out Lifting Revoluiton for more amazing - daily - posts about fitness, nutrition, and living a healthy life.

This past episode was a longer one and crazy to boot. We talked about all sorts of great things and let the fitness and nutrition conversation go free. We talked about body image a lot including breast augmentation. My husband Dan had some views that are different so forgive him.

This is a very common problem for women and fixing it can open the flood gates to better results.  I hope you enjoy this fun and revealing episode of What The Fitness.
