More Movement Please

“of a fluke. I didn't intend on starting a fitness podcast. That wasn't what I, you know, went into things in 2025 with. But I don't know, just as I was beginning getting serious about fitness, it just made sense for me to start keeping a kind of like a digital diary of what I've been going through. And I don't know if it's going”

“just not. I mean, I just went to Bucky's and got an oatmeal raisin cookie, for crying out loud. And I've eaten my way more sweets this week than I normally would and just hormonal fluctuations and all the things. And that's, well, hell, that's why I work out as many hours a week as I do is because I love food. And so”

“much worse than it was. I slipped on some ice and I hit the ground pretty hard. And though I was in pain and I did have some soreness for a couple of days, I can't even imagine how bad that fall would have been if I was still in the shape I was about six months ago. You heard everything”

“on another hike that It would have been laughable for me to even attempt to do the hike that I did because it was a lot of effort required to get up to the top of that mountain. And the view, like whenever I got up to the top and I was able to see the overlook, I got really emotional.”

“it's functional. Muscle is how you get off the floor and how you catch yourself going off a curb or carry groceries or climb the stairs or travel or play with your grandkids and live without negotiating your own body every morning when you try to get out of bed. Movement is critical”

“definitely don't have time today. And the longer we wait for motivation to appear, the harder it becomes to start. Because we start to not even trust ourselves. We start to give up faith in what we're capable of doing. Because we said we were going to do it, and we didn't. Why would”

“this because I jumped in like full throttle. I fully recognize this. At the same time though, I had been moving a little bit for a little while. I had been trying to implement workouts into my life for about a year and a half before I went really nuts. But I really enjoyed it, so”

“it was the day that I said I only did half of a class because I was so emotional that day from from some personal stuff that was going on in my life that I literally just walked out of the class and could not come back. I had to have someone else put my stuff away and bring bring”

“to myself is I definitely have a lot of fear of disappointing people. I have a lot of fear of being judged by people. And the specific people who I'm afraid of being judged by, they know who they are and they know why I'm afraid that they're going to judge me. But I finally have”

“Ashley used to be the type of person that would use every single excuse possible to not work out. whether it was 4th of July or Thanksgiving or Christmas or even my birthday or whatever, I would use every single excuse I could think of to give myself permission to not work out.”

“importance of it to me. Now, grant you, the difference here is I've been doing this more than 100 days. And so I'm already motivated, already wanting to go to the go to the gym, regardless of whether or not I had all my things together. But when”

“move every single day. But having the days on Wednesdays and Sundays where I walk or just do yoga or just more stretching, that's really beneficial to me. It makes me feel like my muscles are getting that break that they need so that, you know,”
