Kathy's Story:400 Pounds to a Decade of Showing Up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kathy was close to 400 pounds at 19, but her weight is genuinely the least interesting thing about her, and that's kind of the whole point of this episode. Morgan and Brooke sit down with Kathy Novak, Brooke's client of many years and a friend for over a decade. Kathy was close to 400 pounds at 19, and what started as a weight loss journey turned into something bigger: years of setbacks, injuries, plateaus, and slow stretches, and a body she learned to value for what it could do instead of how i
So You Want To Work on Skills You Suck At (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a certain grace we give kids while they're learning that we completely stop giving ourselves as adults. Morgan , Brooke , and Jess Gordon get into why being bad at something is worth leaning into, not avoiding. As adults we tend to stay parked in the areas where we're already competent, so choosing to be a beginner at something you might fail at over and over is its own kind of brave. They talk about the ego hit of sucking at something in a season of life where you feel like you shouldn'
So You Want To Build Endurance Without Losing Strength (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adding endurance doesn't automatically cost you your strength. Bad programming, under-fueling, and no recovery cost you your strength. Amanda and Jess G. get into how to build endurance while holding onto the strength you spent years earning. The good news up front: maintaining strength takes far less work than building it did. The catch is you can't max out everything at once, and pretending you can is how people end up run down and stalled in both. They talk about why the interference effect g
So You Want To Stop Procrastinating Your Workouts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wanting to be fit and talking yourself out of a workout can very easily coexist since the hardest part of a workout is usually the part where you decide to do it. Amanda and Christin get into why procrastinating a workout is almost never a discipline issues. It's usually a friction, expectations, or decision-making issue. They talk about why the couch always wins in the moment, why "if I can't do the whole session I might as well skip it" keeps you stuck, and why the goal isn't to make yourself
How Lifting Builds Confidence Outside the Gym (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The confidence you build under a barbell doesn't stay under the barbell. Morgan, Christin, and Manders have a front row seat to it: watching timid, unsure people walk into a gym and slowly turn into someone who volunteers for the hard thing, cheers on strangers, and signs up for the boxing class they'd have driven away from a year ago. They get into the difference between confidence based on how you look and confidence based on what you can do, why the second kind lasts, and why failing a lift i
