  We weren't talking about it, and then I realized that I don't want to be the same person I was.
• 0:05
  It's really like coming into your own, and we're like, this is who I am.
• 0:21
  Welcome to Tonitown Podcast.
• 0:25
  Hey, we are here on set in Palm Springs, California, back there.
• 0:30
  You may hear. We've got some tone-up trainers doing workouts coming out for the summer challenge,
• 0:36
  and we're just sitting down answering your messages. So if you didn't know already, and now you will,
• 0:43

• 0:50
  on the pod and answer your questions. Yay!
• 0:53
  And we can do that for anything for Tonitown Podcast or the big silence podcast.
• 0:58
  So how are we? Oh, I was just going to say how are we feeling, and Ari's in the background saying,
• 1:04
  how are we feeling? Sarah and Dipettus. I know. It's a good word, guys.
• 1:09
  I know. You got to see maybe in like B-roll on YouTube. We'll show you some of the workouts we're doing
• 1:14
  the past two days here. Let's just say this isn't going to be an easy program.
• 1:19
  A lot of you said you're scared in the comments. Really?
• 1:22
  Don't be scared. Embrace it. You should be scared. You should be scared. Okay.
• 1:28
  So let's dive in. We're going to answer like five questions today.
• 1:32
  Amazing. Let's go with Melissa. Melissa.
• 1:38
  I turn it up. This is Mel. I have been part of the Tonitown community for many years,
• 1:45
  probably over a decade now, and you have supported me through all my seasons.
• 1:49
  I have loved this app. I do miss seeing your face, Kareena, and I remember I'm here.
• 1:57
  I'm loving Tonbadi Tonbine. Would you ever bring back a Tonbadi Tonbine 3.0?
• 2:04
  I'm also a fan of yoga Pilates along with cycles syncing and managing my energy through workouts.
• 2:14
  Can you bring on a program where some workouts that combine all of these three elements?
• 2:21
  I love that. And yes. So cycle syncing, there is in your Tonitown app. There are workouts for your
• 2:29
  cycle. Tonbadi Tonbine, I've been talking to you about that and doing a 3.0. But there is 1.0
• 2:38
  in the app. And of course, like any of the programs and workouts you can do any time.
• 2:44
  We have new workouts every week in the app as well. And actually, this comes out. Oh,
• 2:50
  the Christina's new program. Yeah. It came out yesterday. Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:55
  And if you want hard and tense, she is like your tabata queen. She's here too, filming for
• 3:00
  summer. It's called Activate and Ignite. And that's exactly what you're going to do.
• 3:05
  Yeah. Activate it all. Ignite it all. It's spicy. We were doing the programming for that. And I was
• 3:11
  like, dang, this is for the ladies who are like, I want something more intense. And oh, that's
• 3:17
  the other thing in the app too. You can actually go in the app and you can do beginner
• 3:23
  intermediate advanced and choose like whatever mood you are in for that day, like what kind of
• 3:29
  effort you want. You can choose a workout from that as well. Melissa, you're putting me on
• 3:36
  on point. Okay. I guess I'm going to do it. Yeah. It's too much. You glow, girl.
• 3:42
  Okay. Let's go with Emma. Thank you, Karina and the two that don't you just want to say thank
• 3:51
  you for coming back and for everything you've done over the years. I think I found you around
• 3:57
  25, 24 and it was a friend who introduced me to you and it really ushered in over the next decade
• 4:06
  of my life learning how to be fit, falling in love with the gym and homework outs and
• 4:13
  meal prep, all the things I learned it all from toned up. So thank you for that. Thank you for
• 4:19
  creating it. I'm not in my 20s anymore. I'm closer to 40. It's been really hard to let go of
• 4:29
  I guess the 20 year old version of my body and the changes that are happening that feel
• 4:36
  out of my control, like no matter how hard I work out, there are going to be wrinkles and there
• 4:42
  are going to be things change. So I would love to hear from you how you've handled that especially
• 4:48
  in the spotlight and how to I guess love this newer older version of my body and how you've
• 4:57
  navigated that for yourself. Thank you. Emma, Emma, I feel you, I've been pretty open about like
• 5:06
  my own like perimenopause, been a pause. No clue what was going on put on like 40 pounds and
• 5:14
  what the hell is happening to my body. And then I realized it, we weren't talking about it.
• 5:21
  Des over here is like the younger generation, but also going through so many hormones too.
• 5:28
  And then there's the question of like being in the public eye. And I think a lot of people who are
• 5:33
  in the public eye go through a lot of that and judgment and this and that, but I've had to work
• 5:39
  really hard to navigate around that and just be me. And all of the seasons that I'm in in life
• 5:48
  and my seasons of loving to work out and then hating it. And then wondering what's going on with
• 5:55
  my body and the different hormones and understanding all of my cycles. Actually, there's going to be
• 6:02
  a really good conversation next week that China is doing her own song. Yes. She's about to film it
• 6:09
  here on set. She's so nervous, but it's really like coming into your own. And this is who I am.
• 6:15
  I'm no expert in life. I'm no higher power. It's just we're all navigating life together in the
• 6:23
  present moment. And I think that's really important to give yourself grace of all of the changes
• 6:28
  that we do physically, emotionally through fitness. But I will say the one thing that keeps you
• 6:35
  grounded is always come back to fitness and getting those adorfins from moving your body
• 6:42
  period. It really does work. That's all I gotta say Emma. That's all I gotta say. Did I miss anything
• 6:48
  there? No, I honestly just piggybacking off of what you said. I don't even think it matters,
• 6:54
  you know, what stage in life you are, but really every like five to 10 years you go through these
• 7:00
  changes whether it's hormone changes as a teenager early 20s heading into 30s like it's just so
• 7:06
  many changes to navigate. And I think it's just about kind of like embracing that change is going
• 7:10
  to happen and figuring out how to like go back to your toolkit and the basics and what makes you
• 7:16
  feel good and just kind of figure out how to roll with the waves because we're not gonna
• 7:20
  all just stay the same for our whole lives. We're going to go through changes and how can we
• 7:23
  support ourselves in the best way and just embrace them instead of look at it like changes
• 7:27
  negative it's it's a sign of evolving and growing and it's not ensuring. Interesting though
• 7:33
  for those two or like oh you've changed oh you've done this and like I don't want to be the same
• 7:39
  person I want to celebrate the change like that's means you're not staying in the same space. We
• 7:44
  should all grow and mature each other with each other and so much so much I can say there. I feel
• 7:50
  that's such a good topic and we can go on and on Emma we won't dedicate upon to you and don't
• 7:57
  find all the voices in the background Bobby just got back from camping in idle wild. Hi Bobby
• 8:02
  and he is loud and clear. He's about to do another workout in the background. Woo I love being
• 8:09
  alive on set. I know it's so fun. Turn it up and then doing a podcast too. Look at that
• 8:14
  okay let's see here. Let's go to Marie. Hey Karina. I really love the episode where you and
• 8:24
  Diz were talking about how there would be more conversations about menopause, pregnant
• 8:28
  apause and hormones and Diz opened up about her cycle I think it can be really hard and confusing
• 8:35
  as a woman to get good advice around all of those issues and changing bodies and how it affects
• 8:43
  your mood, your workout, your pain, tolerance and even just taking care of your family.
• 8:50
  I'd love to hear more and can't wait to see what you guys are doing thanks so much
• 8:56
  for opening up both these great conversations for women. Thank you Marie. I feel like I've become
• 9:02
  like the poster child for Barry menopause and menopause. Well it shows how many people are going
• 9:09
  through the same thing we're literally just we all deal with it and it's not talked about
• 9:15
  enough in your opening the conversation and it's a beautiful thing so embrace it you're doing the
• 9:19
  work. Doing the Lord's work. So that's really interesting because you've talked about it to
• 9:25
  in your own cycles and you introduced me to an app natural cycles. Yeah but I'm wearing
• 9:34
  yes. I feel like that's their newest you know addition their natural cycles. I have to open
• 9:41
  the app and I love this because I literally didn't realize how normal it was to feel all these
• 9:49
  things. You do a questionnaire daily check in. I'll do more on stories so it's not part of this
• 9:54
  podcast but I clicked on yes hot flashes nights with her palpitations. Oh my god you have no clue.
• 10:01
  I thought I was dying so many nights but I didn't realize I was in person. Yeah joint pain.
• 10:08
  So Marie mentioned pain. I was like oh my gosh so like this like joint pain is part of it
• 10:15
  and Somnia oh my gosh in Somnia we need a hold podcast on that. I need to have a sleep doctor on
• 10:23
  fatigue always brain fog girls. So basically it asks you to check in and kind of like log symptoms.
• 10:30
  And like every day you can like check in and then when you first download the app and frequent
• 10:36
  urination. Sorry Bobby he gets so mad when I wake up at like 1 a.m. because I have to pee. I'm like
• 10:43
  dude nature calls natural cycles. Okay platter leakage. You guys I'm going to be so honest.
• 10:51
  Sometimes I sneeze now and I leak a little. You get to look forward to that.
• 10:57
  Can't wait. Yay. Honestly this app is great because I was on birth control for over a decade.
• 11:04
  They just hand that out like candy. They don't educate us on anything. We don't know I didn't know
• 11:08
  anything about it. I was in high school. I had painful periods. Still do. And it was just like
• 11:14
  low band aid and I was like oh great something a magic pill. So I was on it for a decade and then
• 11:17
  I started getting concerned about the long term side effects and just was feeling like I needed
• 11:23
  to cleanse because you're not on birth control anymore. No I'm not on anything. So I use natural
• 11:28
  cycles because it is an FDA approved form of birth control. I think the like success rate is
• 11:34
  over 99% accuracy. It takes your temperature at night and can tell like when what part of your
• 11:39
  cycle is so you know when you and it will tell you use protection. It'll tell you like use protection
• 11:46
  have some fun. You're ovulating. You're fertile. You're not fertile right now. And it's crazy.
• 11:50
  Like it it hooks up to a wearable whether it's an aura ring or an apple watch kind of your choice
• 11:54
  or their bracelet. And it's just it's a really cool thing because I mean it's it's worked for me
• 11:59
  for the last few years and I've been able to like have that peace of mind getting off birth control
• 12:04
  and still like being able to track everything. And yeah it's just it's really cool. So I love that
• 12:09
  they're now opening up into that stage of life too. So it's like not just women that need
• 12:16
  birth control. Now women that are going to hormone changes and they're like educating it's just yeah
• 12:21
  it's really cool. I'm glad that they're trying to you know open that space. Yeah. And I've always
• 12:28
  been like anti wearable but I actually like like something like this where yeah don't take my blood
• 12:34
  pressure or my heart rate because I live in high anxiety. Hey, it's in the aura ring told me I was
• 12:39
  stressed out for about nine hours. Well maybe because it's telling me that maybe that's why I'm
• 12:44
  stressed out. It's like when you go to the doctor and they're like let us take your blood pressure
• 12:48
  and I'm like normally like perfect blood pressure and then I'm like because you're there you're like
• 12:52
  they're like do you get anxious taking I'm like yes okay let's see Anna what you got to say girl
• 13:00
  can I create a dawn? It's Anna from Ohio. Hello everybody at Tonit up. I am loving this year's
• 13:09

• 15:34
  is so supportive from the trainers from the community and I just am so happy how everyone's coming back
• 15:41
  together and working out together and having those great conversations together as a community and
• 15:48

• 16:09
  so many messages on here I'm like what have I have I done Kristi okay yeah hi kreena hi does
• 16:16
  array this is Kristi and I have been with tone adips it's 2015 a lot has changed since then I am 43
• 16:27
  now and like a lot of the other ladies who've called in I'm dealing with impairment
• 16:32
  of pause and all of those changes that we go through I've been leaning more towards strength
• 16:39
  training I still do cardio but mostly like walking incline but I really don't have any questions
• 16:47
  necessarily I just want to say that I am very proud of you and congratulations for acquiring tone
• 16:55
  adip back you know I stepped away for a little while because we all go down different roads different
• 17:00
  paths but I think it's a testament to what you guys have built because look at how many of us have
• 17:06
  come back and this community has gotten me through a lot in my life but you know I still talk
• 17:14
  to a lot of the ladies that I've met when I first started and I've made new friends and I've met
• 17:19
  some of them and it's just wonderful so I just wanted to say I'm proud of you I hope you guys have
• 17:26
  a wonderful day Kristi it makes me so happy I also just as a such a testament to the friendships
• 17:35
  and community and what like she said you know goes through different roads and paths and comes back
• 17:41
  and like it's just it's a beautiful thing that we are a foundation of friendship and love and
• 17:50
  celebration and we embrace it all together and it's just the friendships and the relationships
• 17:55
  that come from it it's just it really is beautiful it is and to understand that as a member of
• 18:01
  tone it up and to see that from the beginning it's always been like you can come you can go but
• 18:08
  we're always here when you're ready to come back home and I just really feel that right now I think
• 18:15
  so many of us have been through so much and I know I have and I know you have Kristi okay go to
• 18:24
  hashtag TIU team and also Kristi we're gonna we need to put it in the show notes yeah she's awesome she
• 18:32
  like we were talking about yesterday her stories are so hilarious just the funniest memes just
• 18:37
  the most clever dry amazing humor and she sends me stuff about like my zodiac sign and
• 18:43
  like we've become little TIU besties and she's so funny and just makes my day so you just you
• 18:47
  got to follow her just for the stories alone they're so good yeah I love it I mean community is
• 18:52
  everything I I feel even as we get older Kristi said she's 43 I'm turning 45 y'all by the time
• 19:00
  this is out I'm like a couple weeks away which is wild because I co-founded tone it up when I was 27
• 19:08
  and to be able to be here and still have tone it up and feel like it's home for me and like you
• 19:13
  discovered tone it up in high school I know I was just because there are conversations yesterday
• 19:17
  Ari and I we were just getting to know each other we just met and it's just such a full circle I
• 19:21
  know I've talked about like me and DMing tone it up and this full circle moment but I mean I
• 19:25
  discovered tone it up when I was I think 13 I was probably 13 or 14 and it's crazy because I was
• 19:32
  just you know hospitalized for an eating disorder I was maybe eating a hundred calories a day
• 19:37
  in just such a brutal relationship with my body and food at such a young age like I'll be 30 in
• 19:41
  September and that's now I mean so many years ago and so it even shows like the phases of my life
• 19:47
  as I mean it was a child it was a teenager going through just a horrible relationship with food
• 19:53
  with exercise I didn't work out I just I just starved and I just needed to be skinny and it was
• 19:56
  so scary for me and then I found tone it up and it made working out fun and there was all these
• 20:01
  amazing recipes so add nutrition and then I actually wanted to start to feel my body and have fun
• 20:07
  and then the community and you got it's just it really is every single stage of life we're talking
• 20:11
  13 to 30 to 40 to 50 to 60 it's just it really is women we hear women we hear we are here for
• 20:19
  each other I love it and it's so freeing to know that we're like here in this moment and I have
• 20:28
  these beautiful amazing trainers in the background right now like it's trying to go oh my gosh okay
• 20:33

• 21:12
  she was adopted and she had a schizophrenic mother and I'm like girl like you didn't even know I
• 21:17
