0:01
Welcome to a brand new episode of the
0:02
fit women's with a podcast Buckle up because
0:06
today's episode is gonna be all over the
0:08
place to be completely honest I don't have
0:11
an actual topic or anything with the news
0:14
to bring to you guys today I just
0:15
want to do an old-school fit ones
0:18
with a podcast where we catch up because
0:20
I feel like I have a lot of
0:21
catching up To do with you and I
0:24
don't know I still like these episodes where
0:26
it's just you and me Chit-chatting over
0:28
a cup of coffee and I miss them
0:30
I feel like for the past several episodes
0:32
for about the past year I've really been
0:34
trying to maintain more of a professional sense
0:37
with the podcast in terms of like coming
0:39
with this particular topic and sticking to That
0:42
topic where it used to just be I
0:44
would come in here and talk about what
0:46
was going on in my fitness life Or
0:48
with fit men's weekly or answering personal questions
0:51
to you guys and I want to bring
0:53
that element back.
0:54
So today That's what we're gonna do.
0:57
We're gonna catch up because it was either
0:58
catch up or Bring back another episode from
1:02
the vault, which is what I did last
1:03
week because things have just been very crazy
1:06
around here It's not that I don't have
1:07
things to talk to you guys about I
1:09
just haven't had a chance to sit down
1:11
and Storyboard and anytime that you're coming to
1:14
the podcast or making a YouTube video You
1:16
want to obviously make sure that all of
1:17
your thoughts are laid out in a good
1:20
way that you can actually organize them and
1:23
bring a story to you guys that makes
1:25
sense and I just haven't really had time
1:26
to Do that and that is because there's
1:29
stuff going on.
1:30
So Let's just jump right into it.
1:33
First off.
1:34
We are moving gems So if you follow
1:37
me on social media, which I hope that
1:39
you do, please do especially on tik-tok
1:42
because I think I'm only around 25 Followers
1:46
short of finally hitting a thousand for years
1:49
I have focused on not Focusing on tik
1:54
-tok and it really only in the past
1:56
like four months I've been like, you know
1:58
what?
1:58
No, I'm gonna give this a little bit
1:59
more effort and play around with a little
2:02
bit more I like that platform because it
2:05
truly is just I come on here and
2:07
or come on there and do Basically little
2:10
mini podcast episodes.
2:11
I just talk post workout about answering questions
2:15
or topics that I'm dealing with with my
2:17
clients And it's been a lot of fun.
2:18
It's just not as curated which I appreciate
2:21
that in a very fast-paced world So
2:23
if you're not following me on tik-tok,
2:25
please do just follow trainer Kindle.
2:27
You'll find me over there So all that
2:30
to say is yes You will notice next
2:33
week The background of our space is gonna
2:37
be changing because we are moving studio locations
2:40
for the past year and a half I've
2:42
been running out a garage space where we
2:44
were really able to build out the perfect
2:47
place for us.
2:48
I loved it It was a great size.
2:50
We painted the walls black and really outfitted
2:52
it perfectly However, the place that we are
2:55
running from it's going on on the market.
2:57
So which is a good thing I'm really
2:59
happy for my friend who's selling her house
3:02
I think it's a really great move for
3:03
her but it obviously left us in the
3:05
position of okay Now what do we do?
3:07
We don't want to go back to running
3:09
a brick-and-mortar space if you are
3:11
new to the podcast.
3:12
I guess I should Kind of back up
3:15
a little bit, right?
3:15
Why were we running a garage to begin
3:17
with?
3:18
For over 10 years Dan and I owned
3:21
and operated a woman's fitness studio here in
3:24
Charleston Brick-and-mortar location and it was
3:27
fantastic.
3:27
And then the chaos of 2020 really made
3:30
us Change the way that we were running
3:33
our business and also look at things of
3:35
like, how do we want to scale?
3:36
What do we want our life to look
3:37
like?
3:38
Obviously 2020 changed it for some not great
3:41
ways as well It basically forced us to
3:44
close down the studio that we were running
3:46
but we still maintained That space as we
3:50
turn our attention more to online training and
3:52
educational videos But after a while I was
3:55
like, why are we doing this?
3:56
We don't need this space or pay thousands
3:59
of dollars Yes, multiple thousands of dollars per
4:02
month to be here for two to three
4:05
hours a day To film live workouts or
4:07
to film social media content so I was
4:10
like, let's save that money so we can
4:12
actually start putting together a marketing fund because
4:14
marketing is very very expensive and See what
4:17
other options that we have and we really
4:19
thought about different ways that we could go
4:21
about doing that We tried to look into
4:23
storage units, but apparently places in South Carolina
4:27
Do not let you rent storage spaces just
4:30
for fitness use you can only store things
4:33
there which makes sense But anyways, we were
4:35
able to find a friend who was willing
4:37
to let us Rent out her garage and
4:39
that worked out really well and that takes
4:40
us to where we are now that house
4:42
is going on the market and so My
4:45
friend's goal is to find a house That's
4:47
a little she's just downsizing a little bit
4:49
But she was like, well that house will
4:50
have a garage too and in an ideal
4:52
world Yes, we could plan for that.
4:55
But what if that space didn't work out
4:57
for us?
4:57
We couldn't put all of our eggs in
4:59
one basket hoping that that would come to
5:01
fruition So Dan and I started researching a
5:03
little bit more Seeing what else was available
5:06
to us and another one of our friends
5:09
and older clients Like not old as in
5:12
age older clients that had been with us
5:14
for a very very long time reached out
5:16
and said hey We outfitted our frog for
5:19
a home gym.
5:20
We don't use it very often We still
5:22
go to a gym as well Would that
5:25
space fit you so we went and checked
5:26
it out and you guys it is Perfect.
5:29
It is already painted this pretty Marbly gray
5:33
black color.
5:34
It already has gym floors in it It's
5:36
already outfitted with a lot of equipment that
5:37
we use like barbells and benches and boxes
5:41
So yeah, that's where we're moving to next
5:45
week the first week of October and I'm
5:47
very stoked for it We were able to
5:49
sell off the gym flooring that we had
5:51
in the garage floor as well as some
5:53
of our plates I just don't have room
5:55
to store those a lot of my dumbbells
5:57
and all of my kettlebells will come with
5:59
me to the new Space so we'll outfit
6:00
their home gym even a little bit more
6:02
and then we'll save some of our equipment
6:05
here Cuz Dan doesn't want to let go
6:07
of everything.
6:08
We do want to take some things with
6:09
us eventually when we move but yeah, that's
6:12
the plan and it's very chaotic because Dan
6:15
works a nine-to-five job And because
6:17
Kelly's house is going up on the market
6:19
at the end of the week or on
6:21
the this weekend She's really trying to pack
6:22
things up.
6:23
I want to be out of her way
6:25
for convenience for her.
6:26
So I am Packing up everything at the
6:29
gym today and Thursday to take to the
6:31
new space.
6:32
So that's been part one of the chaos
6:34
But I'm really excited.
6:35
I'm really excited to share it with you
6:37
guys so please make sure to follow me
6:38
whether it is on the tickety-tock or
6:42
Instagram those are the two that I am
6:44
definitely the most active with so follow me
6:46
on one of those and then say hi
6:48
If you're a new follower say, oh my
6:49
gosh, I'm finally following you after listening to
6:51
you on the podcast That would be great.
6:53
And then the second thing that's been taking
6:55
up.
6:55
Well 90% of our time.
6:58
This has been the most chaotic thing of
6:59
all is Putting together some new products for
7:02
you guys.
7:03
I talk about fit women's weekly live, which
7:05
is my online training studio I go live
7:07
two times a day with a 30 minute
7:09
workout and a 60 minute version of that
7:11
workout I film from start to finish of
7:13
every workout.
7:14
I push hard, right?
7:15
These workouts are not timed intervals like every
7:18
other online workout where it's 40 seconds on
7:20
20 seconds off no, these are full workouts
7:23
every workouts a little bit different and I
7:27
love it.
7:27
Filmmens weekly live is definitely my premiere training
7:30
program.
7:30
The community there is amazing We truly are
7:33
training partners but I also get to be
7:35
a trainer to all these ladies as well
7:37
and help them hit their goals and then
7:38
they help me hit my goals because I'm
7:41
forced to show up.
7:41
I'm forced to push myself the way that
7:45
I Need to push myself to see results
7:47
because I'm trying to push other women to
7:49
get the results that they want, right?
7:51
However, I've heard feedback I know that sometimes
7:54
people don't want to be part of an
7:56
ongoing membership or something like that They want
7:58
something that they can just purchase as a
8:00
one-time product also just kind of get
8:03
their toes wet a little bit and see
8:05
if my type of training is for them
8:07
or To help answer a specific problem that
8:10
they're having so after a lot of brainstorming
8:14
and a lot of trial and error of
8:16
getting things Done for the past six months
8:18
Dan and I've been working on a program
8:19
called ignite 30 It is a 30-day
8:22
program designed for busy women who aren't afraid
8:25
of a challenge who want to Get their
8:28
strength training and consistently who want to be
8:31
pushed to the level to get stronger to
8:33
get fitter to get leaner and faster But
8:36
they their schedule doesn't always allow it and
8:39
by that what I mean is I use
8:40
my special programming of to-do lists Where
8:43
every day so ignite 30 is gonna be
8:45
its own app Like it is an app
8:48
-based program and every day you'll open it
8:50
up and you'll see your to-dos for
8:52
that day But what makes this so special
8:54
and so unique is that you'll have the
8:56
workout that you're supposed to do the workouts
8:58
Were filmed and fit women's weekly lives.
9:01
So it is filmed from start to finish.
9:02
You just have to hit play But you'll
9:05
have your primary goal and that's the main
9:06
workout that I want you to do some
9:08
days It's a 30-minute workout.
9:09
Some days.
9:09
It's a 60-minute workout, especially on the
9:12
60-minute workout There's then also a busy
9:14
women's goal so that when life does get
9:17
in your way because it always does right?
9:19
Maybe you have to work late or the
9:21
kids need to be picked up from school
9:23
And that wasn't supposed to be the issue,
9:25
right?
9:26
Something happens or you have to wake up
9:28
early to run to the store I don't
9:31
know whatever the case may be something happens
9:33
that keeps you from Getting the workout in
9:35
that you want to normally you'd say man
9:38
I guess my workouts just not gonna happen
9:39
today But with ignite 30 it gives you
9:42
a backup plan So on those days where
9:44
you can't do the 60-minute workout There's
9:46
already a 30-minute workout version or even
9:48
sometimes a 15-minute workout version For you
9:51
to knock out instead that way making it
9:53
possible to do something when normally you wouldn't
9:56
and that's gonna keep you Accountable and it's
9:58
gonna keep you consistent because knocking out one
10:02
to two workouts per week Isn't going to
10:04
give you the results that you want You
10:06
have to do something small every day that
10:08
drives results and then on top of the
10:10
primary goal and the busy goal There's small
10:12
little fit activities to do throughout the day
10:14
as well or as you guys know you've
10:16
heard me say it before fit quickies where
10:18
it might be a Specific number of steps
10:21
that I want you to get or your
10:22
goal to get to or a specific exercise
10:25
Like let's do 50 push-ups today on
10:28
top of the workouts that you're doing Those
10:30
little things add up after time and the
10:33
cool thing about ignite 30 that I'm really
10:35
proud of too Is it's almost like an
10:36
interactive game as you mark things off because
10:39
it's a to-do list and you guys
10:40
know We love to-do lists and by
10:43
we I mean like women in general I
10:45
make a to-do list every day and
10:47
even if it's something that I've already accomplished
10:49
I'll still write it out just so that
10:51
I can mark it So you have all
10:52
these to-do lists and as you're marking
10:54
off your activities that you've completed that day
10:56
You get points and you build streaks and
10:59
then at the end you get a report
11:00
card And there might be a special prize
11:02
at the end of the 30 days if
11:05
you receive a certain grade on your report
11:07
card meaning that You accomplished a certain percentage
11:10
like, you know, like a grade of the
11:12
30 days Do I expect you to be
11:13
perfect with it?
11:14
No, are there days that you might forget?
11:16
There might be but I've done my best
11:19
to make sure that I'll send out a
11:21
little reminder of hey Don't forget to do
11:24
something today at least mark off one thing
11:27
on your list So I'm really stoked about
11:29
it, but it has been a lot of
11:31
work and it's finally getting released this week
11:36
I'm very very excited and we're starting with
11:38
an introduction Price, so it's only gonna be
11:41
$67 for the entire 30-day program But
11:45
as soon as it hits a hundred buyers
11:48
that price is gonna go up.
11:49
We're gonna get out of that introductory price
11:51
So if it's something that you're interested in
11:53
and you want to be the first to
11:54
know about it Just shoot me an email.
11:56
I can add you to our first to
11:58
know newsletter And so that you'll have first
12:01
dibs on it when it does come out
12:02
But you can also go check out Philmentsweekly
12:05
.com and see if it's already released and
12:07
I will put the direct link down in
12:09
the show notes when you guys hear this
12:10
It should be released.
12:12
But yeah, I'm pretty excited about it.
12:14
And that's only one product that's coming out
12:17
I have another one coming out that's gonna
12:18
be called the kettlebell clinic.
12:20
I've already filmed it I'm just now putting
12:23
the app part together and that will be
12:25
the next product So again for people who
12:27
want to participate want to get stronger But
12:30
being in some sort of monthly membership is
12:33
a little off-putting at least at first
12:35
These are great ways to get started and
12:37
at night 30 will be a 30-day
12:39
program I'm sorry, the kettlebell clinic will also
12:41
be a 30-day Program, but it's a
12:44
line for people who want to get better
12:46
at guess what kettlebells It's gonna walk you
12:49
through all of the fundamental elements of kettlebells
12:52
So learning hip hinge and swings and cleans
12:54
and snatches But then each of those also
12:57
has anywhere from two to three specific Workouts
13:00
to help you really zone in and get
13:02
better before you move to the next skill
13:04
So it is badass.
13:06
I've already filmed Like I said all of
13:08
the workouts for that and I am so
13:10
excited to get these programs out to you
13:12
So with both of them, you can do
13:14
them at home It takes a very little
13:16
equipment for ignite 30 All you need is
13:19
a couple of sets of dumbbells and you'll
13:21
be ready to rock and roll So if
13:23
it's something that you're interested in you can
13:24
go find out more link is down in
13:27
the show notes Let's see.
13:28
What else is going on?
13:29
Oh, we signed up for 50k I don't
13:32
remember if I talked about this on the
13:33
last podcast episode probably not I don't think
13:35
it had been released yet, but there's a
13:39
50k here called paintings wild and wacky 50k,
13:42
which is a 5k every hour on the
13:45
hour space play It's like an e-mom
13:47
but an hour and it's done for 10
13:50
hours I was had already decided that I
13:53
wanted to do this.
13:53
I was gonna do it as the full
13:55
50k do all 10 last by myself.
13:57
I've done it before actually I've done it
14:00
several times.
14:01
I've done it I think two times with
14:02
a partner.
14:03
I've done it two times by myself the
14:05
first time I did it I only got
14:06
through the first eight laps Not the first
14:09
I got through eight laps I couldn't do
14:11
the last two due to a knee injury
14:13
and then a few years ago two to
14:14
three years ago I did it again all
14:17
by myself successfully and it was amazing So
14:19
I've just been having the itch to do
14:21
something big and bold and hard And I've
14:25
really been working a lot on my running
14:26
lately More so than normal like increasing my
14:29
mileage and really feeling good And so I
14:31
decided that I wanted to do this But
14:33
then there's a little bit of a curve
14:35
ball thrown in there that Dan came to
14:37
me and said hey I got the email
14:39
because he's already he's also done the race
14:41
before wild and wacky how about we sign
14:43
up and we do it together as a
14:44
team and Who am I to not do
14:48
something fun with my husband?
14:50
Even if it means that I'm gonna be
14:51
taking my foot off the pedal a little
14:53
bit and not doing the full thing I'll
14:56
do at least half of it.
14:57
And yeah, so I'm excited.
14:59
So we're gonna do the 50k Wild and
15:01
wacky as a team as a partner.
15:04
I had mentioned today.
15:06
I'm like, okay I'll do it as a
15:07
partner, but I'll probably still run every lock
15:09
with you because I want to do the
15:11
challenge and He does not like that idea
15:14
cuz he's like no I want to do
15:15
this as a team I want us to
15:17
alternate.
15:17
I want to do it the right way.
15:19
And so right now That's probably what we'll
15:22
do But we'll see as we get closer
15:23
and see how he feels about his running
15:25
because he's not huge into running But I
15:28
know that this will inspire him to get
15:29
moving a little bit better and a little
15:32
bit more consistently with that But yeah, I'm
15:34
really excited to do it nonetheless because it
15:36
is a well put on event We don't
15:38
get a lot of trail runs here in
15:39
Charleston.
15:39
So this is kind of the highlight for
15:41
the trail running community So I'm stoked about
15:44
it.
15:44
I think it's sold out in something like
15:45
two hours, which is crazy It went live
15:48
at 12 p.m. A couple of weeks
15:51
ago and I immediately hopped on I think
15:54
I was on at 1201 Got us signed
15:57
up and I'm so glad that I did
15:58
at first I was like do I really
15:59
need to be this proactive with the registration?
16:02
And then when I saw how fast it
16:03
closed down, I was like, yep, surely did
16:05
So yeah, if you're ever in the Charleston
16:08
area, obviously this year it's already sold out
16:10
But put it on your calendar that in
16:12
September of next month registration will open up
16:15
and then definitely sign up for 2020 It's
16:17
a great cause it's a great event.
16:20
It's so passionate the runners there are so
16:23
kind It really turns into a tailgating event.
16:25
Everyone pops up tents and you hang out
16:27
for the day.
16:28
So I'm excited for it I can't wait
16:30
to do this with my husband And then
16:32
we always celebrate these really big races with
16:34
our favorite pizza place here in town Which
16:36
we don't go to very often, but we
16:38
always use big trail running events to go
16:40
back and visit.
16:41
So Yeah, so mellow mushroom, I guess will
16:45
be coming our way In March this event's
16:48
not till March, but it is on the
16:49
calendar But let me know if you think
16:51
should I still run every like they do
16:54
it so that if you're signed up for
16:55
the event You can technically run every single
16:57
lap that you want with or without a
17:00
partner So should I still run every lap
17:03
or should I do the handoff where I
17:06
do one Dan does one I do one
17:08
Dan does one does one The benefits of
17:10
that is if I have that full hour
17:12
to rest between each lap Obviously, I'm probably
17:15
gonna do some pretty decent times But Dan
17:19
is not a competitive runner.
17:20
So I've already talked to him and asked
17:22
him.
17:22
Hey, are you Gonna actually train so that
17:25
we can see how good we can do
17:26
and he said like no We're just gonna
17:28
do this for fun.
17:29
I want to train enough where I can
17:30
run five five K's But I'm not out
17:34
there trying to set PRS every time which
17:36
bothers me because I am very competitive But
17:40
obviously we are not like we are hybrid
17:42
training trainers I'm not out there to win
17:45
it, but I am out there to do
17:46
the best that I can so there's that
17:49
or should I Do every single one and
17:52
just try to get it for the mileage
17:54
So one is should I try to go
17:56
for pace or two should I try to
17:57
do it for mileage?
17:58
Let me know.
17:59
Let me know what you would do.
18:00
And then last but not least, you know,
18:02
I've been talking a lot about My sourdough
18:06
journey.
18:06
I am still loving it.
18:07
I make sourdough every week Even though I'm
18:10
not eating sourdough and I recently made If
18:14
you guys missed it go back and listen
18:15
to the podcast from two weeks ago Where
18:17
Dan's giving up alcohol for the month of
18:19
September and to support him I gave up
18:21
sourdough.
18:22
It's all about having self Persistence and self
18:28
-control So go go listen to that one,
18:31
but I did try a new Bread recipe
18:35
to me that Dan took to work to
18:37
his co-workers and it turned out So
18:39
good.
18:40
So even though I'm not eating it, I'm
18:41
still making it I also made a chocolate
18:43
loaf a couple weeks ago for a friend
18:45
of mine, too And that looked beautiful Dan
18:48
said it was really good.
18:49
So I'll take his word for it But
18:51
this recipe I've had a lot of you
18:52
guys ask for more tips on sourdough First
18:56
off if you need tips, let me know
18:58
and I can actually start putting together a
18:59
video but one source that I recommend is
19:03
I believe it's calmly and She's on tick
19:07
-tock her recipe is the one that I
19:09
most Regularly follow.
19:12
However for this bread recipe, it was from
19:15
Carissa Stevens Carissa is really big on Instagram
19:18
and tick-tock and her bread recipe I'm
19:21
just gonna say this out loud cuz I've
19:22
had a request write it down real fast
19:24
or make sure to come back to this
19:26
episode at around the 19 minute mark so
19:29
that you can write it down.
19:35
It's So you mix that together and then
19:38
you mix in a little bit of olive
19:40
or neutral oil I use a very light
19:43
olive oil and that's 20 grams.
19:45
So 20 grams of olive oil and Then
19:48
once you mix that together, it's 30 grams
19:50
of honey is what she called for I
19:52
only put in about 10 grams of honey
19:54
Because I've also heard that you don't want
19:57
to add in too much sugar When you're
19:59
first mixing in because it can kind of
20:00
affect your starter a little bit So I
20:03
only did 10 grams of honey and I
20:05
felt like that was plenty And then it's
20:07
500 grams of flour and 7 grams of
20:09
salt.
20:11
So just to repeat 325 Filtered warm water
20:15
150 grams of starter 200 grams of oil
20:17
and 10 to 30 grams of honey mix
20:20
that together Then fold in your flour 500
20:24
grams and 7 grams of salt and then
20:26
you're gonna do the classic Folds every 30
20:30
minutes for about 2 hours of 4 folds
20:33
total and then you want to cover it
20:35
Bake at 400 for 35 minutes uncover it
20:39
cook at 400 for an additional 15 minutes
20:43
So at the 400 that's actually a little
20:45
bit cooler.
20:47
Normally you do sourdough at 415 to 450
20:51
So to bake it at 400 was unique
20:53
to me but again, it turned out to
20:56
be amazing soft on the inside crunchy on
20:59
the outside an Amazing rise highly highly recommend.
21:04
