Latest / The Unsexy Businessmen / Hate Yoga? We Did Too. Then We Had This Conversation with Macie Wood
Transcript
- Aaron: Welcome to the Unsexy Podcast where we talk about everything that is unsexy. today we have a very special guest, an old friend of mine from the old college days, Macie Wood: Yeah. Aaron: Macy Ann Wood. Now, mm Macie Wood: Hi. Aaron: hello. Macy is a 500 hour yogurt teacher certified professional. I'm sure I didn't butcher that at all. Alex: Yeah. Macie Wood: as perfect. Aaron: She's all about move movement and mindfulness. So Macy, the first thing we have to ask all of our guests is what got you into kind of just the the fitness sphere? Macie Wood: Hmm. Well, I think like a lot of women, especially after having babies, everything looks different, everything feels different. And I have found that any person that I've ever met that gets back into the gym after having a baby, taking it really slow, finding some friends that can go, I always found success early morning before anybody woke up. I could just. go to the gym, talk with my friends, we'd work out and kind of through that process of just showing up every day for myself in those early years in my young 20s, I just fell in love with fitness and then you start to see results and you discover lifting, you know, I was a runner. So cardio was kind of where I stayed. I liked the stair stepper, whatnot. I started signing up for races so I couldn't do as much cardio. So then I switched to lifting and then that just opened up a whole new world of, it was fun, know, and Instagram was new at the time. So you could go on Instagram and there was lots of like content on how to work your shoulders or this or that. So you didn't have to know much, but you could figure it out, Google it. And so yeah, I just became really into the gym going that early. I would go at like 5.30 in the morning. get my workout in, hang out with my friends, come home, feel good for the rest of the day. And then as time went on, that shifted into the yoga studio and going to yoga and then teaching yoga. And that's where I'm at today. So not really going to the gym much, but definitely practicing yoga. Aaron: So no, well, one of the things I always I always talk about whatever especially whenever I have a woman on, is so you said you started getting into lifting weights. Now, Macie Wood: Mm-hmm. Aaron: a lot of women think that like and just everyone look Macy. once you started lifting weights, did you notice that your muscles just started bulging out everywhere and you got super bulky and then you look like a man? Did that happen to you, Macy, once you started lifting weights? What? Macie Wood: No, no, surprise, what? Alex: Macy, did you turn into a man? Aaron: WHAT? Macie Wood: I did it. But what happened was I did gain muscle and it was lean muscle. And so because I was mixing it with cardio and lifting, because I was really lucky enough to have a friend who was really knowledgeable about lifting. So she was kind of with me, guiding me. And she would say like, do less weight, but more rest. you know, and then you start to build that strength and you can go up in things and you learn as you go. But then you see the transformation from like getting lean and then having your triceps show and you know, like you'll take a picture and you're like, wow, that looks great, Aaron: Yeah. Yeah. Macie Wood: you know, but it wasn't ever bulky. It was just strong. You look strong. And Aaron: Sure. Sure. Macie Wood: I think that's what I really was drawn to was that, yes, I was getting lean, which for me, I liked that look, you know, because it felt good to me. It's like I had two babies. I wanted to get strong. I wanted to get healthy. I wanted to get lean, but I really wanted to focus on looking healthy. I didn't want to get skinny. I don't know. Yeah. Aaron: Right. Yes. Yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. I totally know what you mean. Macie Wood: And it was just like, there was so much information at the time when I started that it was really cool to like lift and share it on Instagram. And so me and my friends, we'd have fun at the gym and those early mornings, like, you know, just playing around. We would go into the yoga studio and this was before I knew anything about yoga and we would like get into acro yoga poses in the morning. It was just really fun. We had a good time with it and yeah. Aaron: Yeah. Alex: How did how'd you make that community? You said you started to go back to the gym and started making friends, or were these friends from previous before that you got to start going with you? Macie Wood: I had one girlfriend that she and I started going and then like just word got out that we would go every morning. So then somebody else would join, somebody else was joined. By the time that group got up to like 10 to 15 people and she would just break us up into groups. She'd like, you go here, you go here. I'm like, this is free personal training. Like I'm here for this. So Aaron: Yeah. Macie Wood: yeah, that's how we did it. And we just would work out together. We'd chit chat and then. By seven o'clock I was home, getting my kids off to school, doing mom stuff. Aaron: So this was a long that was a long time ago. wit without Macie Wood: a long time ago. Aaron: without calling out anybody, obviously, have have a lot of those same people stuck with going to the gym? Yes. Macie Wood: yeah, the cool thing is, the friend that I'm telling you, her name's Whitney, she and I both switched to yoga at the same time, which is so cool. We fell in love with it, both went through yoga teacher training, and then she's opened up a yoga studio in Southeast Idaho. And that's where she's at. she's got, now she's, Aaron: Give it give it a give it a shout out, Macy. Macie Wood: well, it was previously called the Yoga Studio, and now it's NoviM. and they do Pilates, they have the actual reformers Pilates, they do yoga, it's incredible, it's right in Thornton. Yeah. Aaron: okay. okay. Gotcha. and so you went all right, so we're gonna get through your I wanna get into your yoga part, but before that, Macie Wood: Mm-hmm. Aaron: what what did you do as far as like like you n your nutrition and stuff like that? Like was that a big deal to you or are you just like I'm just gonna go to the gym and I can eat whatever I want because I'm young and whatever? Macie Wood: No, I actually was very much into meal prep. That's what worked for me and my family at the time. So we'd make our chicken, rice, vegetable. I would package it all up. And yeah, I was really consistent with meal prep. I really found success with 80-20. So 80 % of the time, I'm eating clean. I'm eating however way. But then that 20 % of the time was always for like going out to dinner, ordering whatever I want dessert. And so it helped me find balance in my life. And I found just easy recipes that I love, that my kids loved. And we would just eat that on repeat for years and years and years. And then kind of shifted over. My previous husband, ended up getting some health problems, autoimmune. And so we then went on like a big health journey where we discovered gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, grain-free. I did everything just to kind of figure out what actually makes the body feel the best. And I went pretty much all organic, like fresh food, no processed. And since then, I've come to a little bit more of a just, we eat really whole food, almost nothing processed. Very organic. I don't worry about calories or macros or anything. I just worry about like, can I understand the ingredients? And if I can, that's what I eat. A lot of fresh food here. Aaron: Well, it's because you've been doing it long enough where you probably don't need to do that, right? Like you know, like, hey, I'm full, I don't need to keep eating. And especially like good luck like eating overeating on like broccoli. Like that's just like never gonna happen. or even like Macie Wood: Right? Yeah. Aaron: chicken. Like you're not gonna like eat so much chicken that you're gonna go over in your calories. Like that's just never gonna happen. so it's like chicken Macie Wood: Yeah. Aaron: breast and stuff like that. but yeah. Macie Wood: And we love pasta, you know, like we Alex: How did Macie Wood: eat pasta, but I buy like really high quality pasta. We use whole ingredients, natural organic. So then it's like, yeah, there's actually quite a lot of protein and Parmesan cheese. And so I'm just great in the Parmesan tooth in here. Aaron: Ha ha ha. Macie Wood: And you think that you can eat pasta trying to like reach your fitness goals, but like you can eat a big steak with it too. And you're great. You're fueled Aaron: Yes. Macie Wood: for, you know, your day. Aaron: Right. Alex: What was the timeline like in that process and getting to the stage where you're at right now? Macie Wood: I mean, I had my last baby at 26 and that's when I, well, actually, my first, I actually just had a baby, but my first set of kids. No, 26 I had my daughter and then Aaron: I was like I I was like I was like what? You're twenty seven? Yeah. Alex: I know. Macie Wood: I went on my gym fitness journey, running marathons, I did that and then I switched to holistic health and I got really into nutrition and organic, which, was really in tight with yoga, and then I've been a yoga teacher for seven years now. And then I'm 38 and I had a baby last year. So, yeah. Alex: Okay. I I like to give people timelines when they're listening to this so they understand because a lot of times I think what scares people of starting the process is they hear stories just like, all right, we just had a nine minute long conversation and what Macy just did was condense twelve years of work into nine minutes. So anyone who's listening to this, like it's not just a nine minute like, okay, cool, now everything has changed over these last nine minutes. This takes like a really long, a really long period of sustained Macie Wood: Yeah. Alex: growth. Macie Wood: And it takes time to figure out what you like. Because in the beginning, I really liked cardio. And then I liked lifting. And then I really wanted to slow down in my life. And yoga was great. Now I'm really enjoying Pilates. Pilates is so fun. So there's just, and I used to love going to the gym in the morning. That was really like pumped me up. And now, I would much rather like go on a walk in my neighborhood, do some hills with my little baby and walking my dog. So it's just like ebbs and flows with life. And you Aaron: Yes. Macie Wood: have to be in tune with yourself in order to know when it's time for like maybe some like rest and recharge and when it's time to like go hard and you know. Aaron: Right, because there's just so many different types of like fitness that you can do. Like a like especially when especi I I I'm really bad at this because I love going to the gym. And so my thing is always like you just gotta go to the gym. You gotta go to the gym. But like maybe some people hate going to the gym. Maybe they have like a fear of being around other people or whatever it is. But like you said, like you go on walks and that's great. And then you do your your Pilates and yoga and everything like that. Like there's a million different things. Like this not just I it's like I like what you said, like you have to figure out what works for you. Cause Alex and I talk about this, like we harp on that all the time. Like, not even just with like exercise, but diet. Like if you hate asparagus, don't eat asparagus or you don't like Macie Wood: Mm-mm. Aaron: chicken breast, find something else. And you don't even have to have Macie Wood: Yeah. Aaron: like a a meat like source. Like you could if you we had someone on the other week that was was she veg no she wasn't vegan. She was Alex: Vegetarian. Aaron: vegetarian. Macie Wood: Mm-hmm. Aaron: If she was vegan, we would have known immediately. Macie Wood: Yeah Aaron: but yeah, but the and very healthy. Like there's just just figure out what figure out what works for you and then be consistent. I think that's what like the big thing for you, Macy, is like you've just been consistent, like whether Macie Wood: Yes. Aaron: it's with your diet or exercise, and even even as you're changing the maybe the types of things you're eating or the types of exercise you're doing, you're still being consistent doing those things, which is huge. Macie Wood: Always, always, because we all have those mornings where we wake up, we move our body in whatever way calls to us at that season of life. And then the rest of our day just goes smoother. Or if you're a night person, you have that to look forward to all night. And so then you can go, you can just like, you know, it's a moving meditation, whatever type of movement you're doing with your body, you're getting into that meditative flow state. so that you can turn off the mind and just like get really into your body. And that's why it's really hard to do this work and go down this like journey and be like stuck in a rut because you're constantly moving through anything that's stuck and you're moving forward and that translates into business, that translates into relationships, how you feel about yourself. It's just like that. constant build of your physical body, nobody can do that work for you. So it's just like confidence booster and you're building that trust with yourself. And then it's like, well, if I can do that in this category of my life, then I can do it in this category. And you just kind of, it just infuses itself into being the best version of you, whatever that looks like. Alex: And have a very interesting st story too, because you had a baby at twenty six and then a baby here at thirty-seven, I would assume. Thirty-seven, Macie Wood: Yeah. Alex: thirty-six. What so you have ten years of habits that you've been building up since you were twenty six? Any impact from having the baby and what your habits were? Any changes? You mentioned the walks, like you enjoy going on walks now. Macie Wood: Well, yeah, so it's totally different because I say I got into fitness after having a baby at 26. Well, I've lived this like fitness journey and then I have this baby at, yeah, I had him last October. So he's going to be a year now. And this last year has been so interesting because we're in a different energy of life. It's a lot slower. I couldn't wait to go back to the gym. the first time around because I want to be with my friends. So this time around, I've just found, yeah, I don't want to go to a noisy gym. I don't want to be around people. I am postpartum. I want to be by myself. I want to just push my baby. So I found a couple hills near my house and I'm like, this is better than the stair stepper. And that's this time in season. And I know that like it'll change and I'll want to do something else. But like there was nothing that was gonna get me to go to the gym. And then I was all having just this guilt of like, okay, like I need to do something. I need to move my body. And then I'm like, no, we're not doing that. What sounds good? What sounds appealing? And even with yoga right now, like I teach more of a fitness type of yoga. I love teaching that type of class. but I'm not going to those classes. I'm going to our yin yoga, which is much more restorative, slow, meditative. Like that's the type of yoga I'm drawn to right now in this season. And then I'll be back to, you know, other things. Maybe, maybe not. I don't know what life looks like, Aaron: Whatever it is, right? Yeah. Macie Wood: you know? I keep talking to my husband. So how he gets his stuff in is he plays basketball in the morning and that's his three days a week. and then I'm doing yoga, but neither one of us is lifting. So we're like, let's like carve out a space in our garage and put together a home gym. Like neither one of us has done that before, but that's appealing. Cause then we have our little guy, you know, toddling around. have, we have five other kids, we have teenagers. And so I can see them coming outside and lifting with us too. So it's like time of season, time of life, let's bring it home and do it barefoot in our garage. Aaron: Yeah. Well, that's actually a good segue into like the importance of like just being a good example, like with like health and fitness. Have you noticed that with your with your kids? I've noticed it with mine. my my oldest is just like she loves to go work out with mom. And so they they work out in the morning, just like a little home gym that we have. have you Macie Wood: Yeah. Aaron: noticed that at all in your life? Macie Wood: yeah, so our oldest son is 16 and he's on the football team. So he's lifting at school, lifting with football and it's like changed everything for him. Like, you know, he's taken his creatine and his protein and we're always like feeding that kid. He's like, nonstop. Aaron: Ha ha ha. Macie Wood: And then same with our, my daughter is also, she's 15 and she's in a really intense dance program where she's dancing five to six hours a day. So if they... aren't lifting, they're gonna get injuries. And so we're always taking them to the chiropractor. We're making sure that like we're doing the massage gun on them all the time, like just trying to like support them taking care of their bodies. And then it's like, yeah, like let's lift, let's eat healthy. Like let's do this as a family because right now they have this high school sports that's propelling their movement. But one day that's gonna go away. But if they know how to do it on their own. It doesn't matter what's next. This is like habits they can take into adulthood. Aaron: Right, right. Alex: Yeah. A Aaron and I talk about because a lot of times people think that we came from like a health family, but I don't really think we did. It was like health adjacent. It was it was primarily just fat shaming, I would say is what like most of our Aaron: Yeah. Alex: like most of our upbringing was about. But something interesting with your son that you mentioned is because we all played sports, but I wouldn't s like all of us got fat at some point. So all of us played sports in high school and then all of us got fat at some point. And I wish so much that I would have just followed the example of my friend Austin Bonasa, who is in the gym like we played basketball together, who is in the gym all the time and looks amazing since he was essentially sixteen years old. So that's I I think that's a really great thing that you're an example you're setting for your kids. And I don't think they and Macie Wood: Mm hmm. Okay. Alex: maybe they will eventually, and maybe they realize it now, like how awesome it is going to be that they have started building these habits Macie Wood: Okay. Alex: at such a young age because for us it was like you just go and run around for a little bit and then you come home. but running around for a little bit doesn't do a h whole lot for a thirty six year old at this point. So kudos to you. Macie Wood: No, there's no time to run around. Where are you gonna run around to? You Aaron: Right. Yeah. Macie Wood: got, you know, it's just, there's a lot. And I just tell them like, there's never a time in your life where you're gonna have this much time to focus on yourself. So learn how to cook, learn how to, learn how important sleep is. Like I am always encouraging them to take naps. Cause it's Alex: Dude. Macie Wood: like they're growing and. They've got so much going on and it's just like, rest is so important. And I try to get them to come to yoga with me sometimes. Aaron: Yeah. Macie Wood: My daughter this week, she actually did come to a class. So that was cool, but yeah. Aaron: nice. Well I Alex: Do you let them Aaron: think Alex: sleep in? Sorry, do you let them sleep in? I know my mom listens. Macie Wood: Yes, I let them sleep in but they do have to be on time for school. So that's kind of our standard but on days where they don't have anything they can sleep as long as they'd like. Aaron: Well, the importance of like the the nutrition, because I think our Alex: Thank you. Aaron: our biggest problem was like we just never understood nutrition really well growing up. And so Macy knew me when I was really fat too. You weren't that fat. Sh shut up, Macy. Shut up. but thanks. yes, I was. Macie Wood: Say that. Aaron: But like like like I I just wanna like Macie Wood: We were working in like an office setting. There was like, it was fluorescent lighting. Everybody looked bad. Yeah. sorry. Sorry. Aaron: Dude, it doesn't matter. Dude, I just Yeah. Cut her off. No, but like I just want to like give Alex: Wait, did you work at Melaluca? Sorry, pr well we'll last Macy. You're good. Aaron: you like props for that because like get like like you said, teaching your kids how to cook like healthy meals and that, like they'll carry that on to the rest of their life. Like they'll know what nutrition is, which I just like everyone always says that you can't outwork a bad diet. And so if you already have that established that your Macie Wood: I'm sorry. Aaron: diet is important and you they they understand that the working out part is for me that's like easy as it was the diet part that that screwed me up for so many years. but once I finally figure that out I'm like I guess I always just blame my metabolism like well you know just bad metabolism and then it turns out no just bad eating habits and and not understanding my body and that changed everything. So just I it's not even a question just props. Good job. Good job, Macie Wood: I'm home. I'm home. You're home. Aaron: Macy. Great mom. Great mom. Macie Wood: Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. Aaron: I I did want to ask you, so you you got into yoga. I do I do follow you on Instagram. I see you posting all your your crazy poses. what what made you get into like what what got you into yoga? Like you were lifting, doing all that stuff, then then you just transitioned into yoga. Was it like the community or just like I just like yoga in general? Or is it both? Macie Wood: Yeah, I moved from Idaho to Southern Utah and I just. One day the studio that I work for now, Be Hot Yoga popped up on my Instagram and they were in the, we do a challenge every year and part of the challenge is you take a picture with your instructor and your group. So it was just all these pictures of happy, healthy people, like posing after a yoga class. And I Aaron: Mm-hmm. Macie Wood: was like, that's the community that I want to be a part of. So. I signed up for a class, the instructor was amazing, the vibe was amazing. So I became a student there and just really fell in love with the community. I loved it so much that I, at the time my kids were going to school and I was like, needed a job. Well, like kind of just wanted a job. So I started working front desk at the studio just cause I'm like, it'll pay for my membership. I just, it just. Aaron: Well, you had you had tons of experience doing that at Meluca. Macie Wood: That's where I wanted to be, exactly, I was a front desk girl. And then through that process, decided to go through yoga teacher training and then my life changed from there. Yoga teacher training was single-handedly the best thing that I've ever done for myself. It just opened up this entire world of... mindful meditation, movement, like everything I'd been doing my whole life that made it so that I could be a high functioning human. I understood like the energetics and the spirituality behind it and that was really cool to me. And so I just like devoured yoga at that point. And I would teach, there was a one day like portion of time where I was teaching 15 classes a week at different gyms and studios. I was just. all in filming content, like just, I loved yoga and then life changed and things shifted and I went through a divorce and yoga was there the whole way, like reminding me to breathe, reminding me to move my body, holding space for me in this community and then being a single mom for a couple of years and now I'm remarried and we have this big, huge blended family. We have six kids, this caboose baby we just had and Aaron: Yeah. Macie Wood: Yoga has just been there, consistent. And everything that I've experienced, I've been able to take to my mat and breathe through and move through and have that conversation with myself, which I mean, I also had a therapist too, but that along with therapy, all of it, it was just what got me to where I wanted to be. So was like all these tools and things that I'd learned in my 20s. actually put into practice and they saved my life in my 30s. And so now I'm just kind of like, I don't know really what's next for me. I just know that I love this modality and I love talking to people about like, like what's stuck and how do we get it unstuck? And like, if you don't want to feel this way anymore, you can move through it. We can get to the other side. And that's why I love teaching yoga. Cause I, I do, see it, my husband, he He's tall, he's six, four, plays basketball. Like he's always had like, you know, lower back pain or rolling an ankle here and there. And then he starts coming to yoga with me and it like changes everything for him. And like right now we're not going together. Cause like either I have the baby or he has a baby. And he's like, the one thing that he realizes that he's missing in his life is yoga. And so, and I hear those stories all the time. It's just. such a powerful modality that if you really discover it and like put it to work in your life paired with all the healthy eating, the lifting, the whatever you're doing, if you can find some form of like meditation and that counter to the build, you do need to let your muscles rest. it, yeah, it just, it changed my life. So. Alex: How do you how would you suggest people like get into liking it as someone who has hated any time I've done yoga? Aaron: I d yeah, we did P ninety X and that was my least favorite part of P ninety X. Macie Wood: gosh. Alex: And so like I still have that where I'm just like I don't wanna do it for that. Macie Wood: I P90X yoga too, it was the worst. And that's funny, if you asked, like back in the day, I'd be like, gosh, I hate yoga, it's boring, like it's not for me. I got into it because I wanted to stretch, you know? It is all about like finding the right teacher, the right kind of yoga, the right time to do yoga. Like I love early morning yoga, but in the evening, is actually really cool because if you can take like a restorative class, it can be like you work out, you build early in the morning and then at night if you can, you know, set aside 30 minutes to an hour, if you find like a good studio, I mean, it can just be like this opportunity for you to just have like a one-on-one with yourself. And that's, I think the most important thing is teaching people to slow down to, allow for stillness. if like, I love a hot, sweaty, heated yoga class that like it's a hundred degrees and like steamy and like that's hot yoga and that's some people's heaven and that's some people's hell. Aaron: Ha ha ha. Alex: Yeah. Macie Wood: And I understand that, but in that same container of yoga, you can have a yin class with bolsters and props and like you're in the postures for like three to five minutes, but like they're cozy enough that you could fall asleep. So it's like. Alex: Yeah. Macie Wood: You just, yeah, sleep yoga is a thing. It's called Nidra. Alex: So yeah, but something Aaron: No, I the baby goat one. I wanna do the baby goat yoga. Yeah. Macie Wood: The goat yoga. Alex: Well Macie Wood: Yeah, I haven't I haven't Alex: something interesting Macie Wood: participated in goat yoga yet. Alex: missing out. just kidding. I've never done it. you Aaron: I've never it just looks cool. Alex: so you it's you said something interesting there where like you go you're really focused on like the personal the personal part of it, but you also mentioned like finding the right teacher and the right studio. So it's it's almost like the the holy trinity three and one, one and three, where it's like you you want to be part of a group where you are also just by yourself, but you're still with people. Is that is my making sense there? Like is that what you're saying? Macie Wood: yeah, yeah, because I mean, we have so many people, like I teach 5.30 a.m. So there are some people that just walk right in, set their mat down, they lay on their back until we begin. We start our class with some meditation, some breath work, little warmup movement. We go through our sequencing, hit all of our postures, asanas, and at the end of the class, you lay in a five minute shavasana. So that's just on your back, breathing corpse pose. And they roll up their mat and they leave. They don't talk to anybody. It's an experience that they have in a group setting that's their own. Alex: Guided. Macie Wood: you can do the same thing. Like there's tons of online yoga teachers that you could create that space for yourself. you know, like find a space in your room or in your backyard or. I mean, yoga can be done anywhere. It doesn't have to be done in a yoga studio. It just finding what works for you and then like creating that container and that ritual for yourself. Even if it's at the end of your workout and you just have like a little space at the gym and you set up your iPhone and you find a 30 minute, I mean, I can send you different videos of like a quick flow that you can just do right there. Boom, it's done. Aaron: Yeah. Well, you convinced Alex: Interesting. Aaron: me, Macy, because Tony Horton, Tony Macie Wood: Noooo Aaron: Horton was not the best coach for for yoga, or I guess representative. but I will Macie Wood: No. Aaron: be in your neck of the woods in November. So maybe I could sneak into one of your classes. would be would be cool. Macie Wood: I would love that. That would be fun. Aaron: one more just one more quick question for you, Macy. I know you gotta you gotta scramble. advice for anybody who Like is like I wants to make a change in their life, they wanna get healthier, they wanna be Macy no, not be Macy, but you know, be healthy and and they don't know where to start. What is your advice for those people? Macie Wood: and they don't know where to start. So what is your advice for those? I would say consistency. So whatever works for you that you can wake up and do every single day or five days a week, whatever that looks like, if there's something that you can find that you can be consistent with, it will work. It just will because you'll have time on your side. You'll have that belief. You'll have that self-trust. And so A lot of it is like be creative, look outside the box, try something that works for you and then stay consistent with it. And then on the other side of some consistency, like you're going to find the results that you're looking for. It's just a matter of can you stay consistent? And we all know that sometimes we can and sometimes we can't. And so then on the flip side, having compassion for yourself when it's not working out and it's probably not working out because If it's easy, it's right.
