Fit Womens Weekly Podcast

Sit back and get ready to laugh! Ashley and I talk about the ridiculous things we do as women to be prim and proper. And we might talk about that ONE time we each got "down there" waxed.  Fitness talk is about setting yourself up for success even if you don't have a gym, workout partner, or community around. Plus more! Head to Fitwomensweekly.net to get those workouts!

Should you eat your placenta? Should you workout? How hard? How often? Where should your heart rate be? Should you wait six weeks after the baby is born to move again? So many questions, so many awesome answers. Dr. Mary Sterrett, an OB-GYN from MUSC holds back nothing and allows me to ask her anything and everything for you guys in terms of women's fitness and pregnancy.  Not of interest to you? That's okay, share it with someone who would find it interesting.

We hit up some of your awesome questions like:  Are adult women catty? Why do people need a "pre-workout" tinkle?  Is it okay to be competitive while working out? When did we know it was time to start a business/make a life change? And more! Enjoy this episode and have a fantastic holiday weekend. If you have questions you would like answered on the FWW Podcast, shoot me an email or message me @TrainerKindal on Instagram.  Hit up Ashley at @AshleyDrummonds. 

Before your period, on your period, right after your period... when is the best time to go for a new PR and to feel your most energized? It might surprise you to learn!  Ashley and I turn our attention to the exercise that has beaten our ego time and time again... muscle ups. We're setting goals and want you to help keep us accountable. Plus, we want to help you! For more or to give suggestions, follow me on Instagram @TrainerKindal and Ashley @AshleyDrummonds.

Progress isn't always linear when it comes to fitness. In this episode we discuss our latest competitions or attempts to compete and how to deal with disappointments when you expected more from yourself. Plus, learning when it's okay to quit. Sometimes it's not better to have tried at all and lost. Sometimes it's just not cool to be last. Don't worry, there's lots of fun sprinkled in! Like Ashley sharing horoscope talk! Oh, it's good!

Sit back and let's have a coffee date while Ashley and I talk a lot about food. Mainly, the food challenges we've done (and why) plus the foods we wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole... and not because we don't like the flavor. Enjoy! For more, hit us up on Instgram @trainerkindal and check out FitWomensWeekly.net for workout coaching, killer programs and more. But more importantly, don't be a stranger. Feel free to ask questions or suggest show topics via Instagram or email. 

Today's podcast introduces Ashley into the Dirty Thirty Club by sharing what makes this decade so amazing. How do we change our outlooks on ourselves with age? How do we become more confident? And more! This weekend is a competition weekend for me & a PR test for Ashley so we share what we did right and wrong. What happens when you just know you're not going to hit your A goals? Find out today! For more and to share your thoughts, hit me up at fitwomensweekly.net or Instagram @TrainerKindal

We're going to talk about 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. 

There is 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 women's studio has given her back her "team" and purpose. You guys, if you only listen to one of my podcast, listen to this one.

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!

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?" Plus many more informational nuggets for a fit life.

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?"

Girls Gone Wod Podcast (Joy & Claire) is one of my favorites. It's two friends sitting together talking 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, what's negative, and how women are bringing one another down on social media by showing off their bodies instead of physical strengths. And Ashley and I have a few things to stay about it all.

Trying to clean up your nutrition a bit but not sure what you're supposed to do? Ashley and I share our favorite foods, balanced diets, and what our meals look like MOST days. Find out why we don't think there are "bad foods" and how to get over the thought of good and bad versus always and sometimes.

If you have a hard time getting better at skills because you don't want to sacrifice your workout intensity to slow down and learn then this podcast is going to help! I'm the same but Ashley... she's the queen of balanced training. In this episode we share our skill goals, our conditioning habits, and how we merge the two together to create a balanced workout plan to help you (and us) get better while still kicking butt from day to day in the studio.
