The FitSister Podcast

In this episode we review Nat’s 33 minute garage gym workout. Moo gives me some high fives and some ways to improve my at-home fitness routine. Then a listener asks about lifting weights and walking as an option for women over 40. I ask Moo about the role of elevated heart rate in our exercise regimens. We end with a conversation about how to find time to workout when we want to be with our kids in the evening and the 5AM morning routine isn’t working for us either.

On today’s episode I ask Moo the question I have been asking her for years-- what do I do when the boss brings donuts and I really want a donut, and at the exact same time I also do not want a donut. It’s complicated! Moo and I talk about the differences between healthy eating, intentional eating and mindful eating (which is not what happens with me and donuts). Then Moo fields a question on vitamins, minerals and supplements. We end with Moo’s take on creatine and its role in the world of female

I ask Moo to build me the perfect sandwich for my school lunch. (To-go lunches are a challenge--am I right?!) Then we dive into listener questions about belly fat and weight gain during menopause. Moo tells us her tale of being in the free weight section of the gym in the late 90s--scary stuff!

I confess to Moo that I have a bad habit of snacking on junk food while I cook my healthy dinner. (Sometimes it takes so long!) Then Moo addresses a listener question on motivation. Begrudgingly, I allow her (only because she is my sister!) to take me through an exercise so we can “find my why.” (Insert eye roll emoji). Shockingly enough, I think we make progress. Finally, Moo explains tracking macros versus counting calories. I make sure to stop her when it gets boring.

On this inaugural episode of The FitSister Podcast, Moo and I (guys, I call my sister Moo-- I’ll explain later) discuss what I should eat for breakfast. Then we take listener questions about what to do when your underwear is a little too snug, and how can we honestly find time for a workout routine when we are, ya know, doing everything for everyone else all the time.
