One year ago, I hit publish on a fitness podcast from my car, and I didn't see myself as a fitness expert at all. Today, More Movement, Please is celebrating its first birthday with 120+ episodes, 6,600+ downloads, and listeners in more than 80 countries.

In this anniversary episode, I'm getting real about what year one actually looked like. I share how one blunt conversation with my YMCA instructor, Ronda, finally got me to commit to working out. I also talk about dropping from XXL to medium sizes without dieting, and why I kept showing up through months of health setbacks that kept me out of the gym.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

– Why you don't have to be a guru to start something (thanks to my money mentor, Denise Duffield-Thomas) – Why this show has zero diet culture, no restrictions, and plenty of room for cheesecake and espresso martinis – What it's really like to get fit in your forties when your body isn't cooperating – How to modify your workout and still win on low-energy days – What's next for the podcast and the More Movement community in year two

Whether you're just starting out, getting back into fitness, or need a reason to keep going, this one is for you. Move your body more so you can enjoy your life.

Onwards and upwards, my friends. Have you worked out today?

The day this episode drops is the day I'm getting a biopsy, and I'm nervous. Today I'm sharing where I'm at with my health, why my workouts look totally different lately, and how I'm still finding ways to move.

I was finally feeling strong and confident, then had to drop to lower weights and rest more than I wanted. In this update, I talk about getting back to Zumba, low impact cardio, and toning, what happened when I pushed too hard, and how I'm keeping my spirits up. If you've ever had a setback that knocked the wind out of you, this one's for you.

This week is also the one year anniversary of More Movement Please. I never set out to start a fitness podcast, and a full year of episodes still blows my mind. Year two is going to be all about you, the community.

Onwards and upwards, my friends. Have you worked out today?

#MoreMovementPlease #FitnessMotivation #WorkoutUpdate

What do you do when your body won’t let you work out, but you know sitting still will make it worse? I’ve been sidelined by anemia, fibroids, and ovarian cysts, and I’m sharing exactly how I’m trying to get back to movement without pushing too hard.

I told you that you can work out anytime, anywhere, no matter your physical state. Then my body tested that promise. In this episode, I’m eating my words about what “anytime, anywhere” really means when you’re dealing with severe fatigue, dizziness, and blood loss. I walk you through the gentle movement I’m doing right now, including seated dumbbell work, easy yoga, short walks, and modified Tabata with the lowest weights I own.

If you’re feeling weak, tired, or stuck in a health setback, this one’s for you. You’ll learn how to move when you can’t stand up, why rest is important but too much rest can make getting back to it harder, and how to listen to your body without letting a hard season become the excuse to quit for good. I also talk about why I’m more committed to movement than ever, and why I think staying active before all this started kept it from being even worse.
