]]> When Life Is Out of Your Control | with Lana Almukdad Get the Girlies Moving 00:33:23 What happens when the body you’ve always known suddenly doesn’t feel like yours anymore? When strength turns into exhaustion. When movement that used to feel normal becomes something you’re grateful just to be able to do. When you look in the mirror and don’t fully recognize the person looking back at you. This episode is really special to us. We’re sitting down with our dear friend Lana, who has spent the last few years fighting aggressive acute myeloid leukemia, to talk about what it looks like to keep loving your body when it changes, to keep choosing life when life feels wildly unfair, and to start again without hating yourself for not being where you used to be. And somehow, through all of it, Lana still has one of the biggest loves for life of anyone we know. In today’s episode, we’re talking about: • Learning to see movement as a privilege instead of a punishment • Losing strength, starting again, and being patient with the body you have today • How to navigate comparison when your path looks completely different from everyone else’s • Treating taking care of yourself as an act of service to your future self • Finding gratitude, hope, and growth even when life feels wildly outside of your control There are a lot of Lana golden nuggets in this one. “Feelings come to go.” “I have one body that has to last me a lifetime.” And maybe our favorite: you might not get to control what happens in your life, but you do get to choose how you respond to it. This conversation is about cancer, but it’s also about so much more than cancer. It’s about looking in the mirror when you don’t recognize yourself. Starting over when your body can’t do what it used to. Letting yourself have hard days without deciding that they’re permanent. And remembering that your health, your movement, and this one life you get to live are worth appreciating now—not someday. Lana, thank you for trusting us with your story. We love you endlessly. And girlies, wherever you are in your own journey: be patient with yourself, show your body some love, and keep growing. Love you, girlies!!

]]> Do I really need to lift weights? (& will it make me bulky?) Get the Girlies Moving 00:23:45 Will lifting weights make you bulky? No. Babe, we promise. In this episode of Get the Girlies Moving, we’re talking about why women should be lifting weights, what strength training actually looks like, and why building muscle matters for a whole lot more than just how your body looks. In today’s episode, we’re chatting about: • The different styles of strength training and which one actually makes sense for your goals • Why lifting weights will not accidentally turn you into a bodybuilder • The long-term health benefits of building muscle, especially as women age • How to start lifting without feeling completely lost in the gym Muscle is a good thing. It supports your bones, your joints, your independence, your ability to move through life, and yes… it can also give you the toned arms and strong booty you’ve been trying to get from three-pound dumbbells. You are not going to accidentally get bulky from lifting weights. But you can absolutely get stronger, feel better, protect your body as you age, and build a body that actually lets you live your life. So grab a dumbbell. Preferably one heavier than three pounds.

]]> How many times a week should I be doing abs? (and I hate crunches…) Get the Girlies Moving 00:25:48 So you’ve done a million crunches… but still don’t have abs. Let’s talk about why. In this episode of Get the Girlies Moving, we’re breaking down what your core actually is, why your neck and back might hurt during ab work, and what we’d rather you do instead of 500 crunches. In today’s episode, we’re chatting about: • What actually makes up your core—and why your six-pack is only one piece of it • Why your neck or low back might hurt during core work (and what your spinal alignment has to do with it) • Why crunches aren’t our favorite core exercise and what we’d choose instead • How often you should actually train your core to get stronger Your core is a 3D system. Think Coke can. Apple. Onion. Apparently we needed several analogies to get this point across. And building a strong core isn’t just about looking good in a bikini. Your core plays a role in your balance, stability, posture, back health, athletic performance, and a whole lot of the movement you do every single day. (Harvard Health⁠) So no, you do not need to get on the floor and do 100 crunches tonight. Pick a dead bug, bird dog, side plank, suitcase carry, Pallof press—or literally just practice breathing properly—and give your core some love this week.

Get the Girlies Moving 00:28:17 PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN It’s important… But do you actually need as much as the internet says you do? In this episode of Get the Girlies Moving, we’re breaking down what protein actually does, how much you really need, when to eat it, and why “high protein” on the label does not always mean what you think it means. In today’s episode, we’re chatting about: • How to tell if a food is actually high in protein • Complete vs. incomplete proteins and why the difference matters • How much protein you really need based on your goals • Whether the post-workout “anabolic window” is actually as strict as people say • Why fiber deserves WAY more attention than it’s getting Protein matters. A lot. But more is not always better, and turning every snack, coffee, water, and dessert into a protein product probably isn’t the answer either. We’re here to make this a little less confusing, a lot more realistic, and hopefully keep you from taking nutrition advice from some random guy named Chad on social media. Eat your protein.

Get the Girlies Moving 00:31:37 In this episode of Get the Girlies Moving, we’re going back to the actual method—where Pilates came from, the principles it was built on, and what separates it from simply doing a workout on a mat or reformer. In today’s episode, we’re chatting about: • The core principles of Pilates and why they actually matter • Why breath, control, and the mind-body connection can completely change the way you move • How to tell if you’re actually practicing Pilates—or just taking a really good workout class • And, of course… whether Pilates is actually worth all the hype Pilates has been changing bodies long before Instagram, matching sets, and the current Pilates craze—and we think there’s a reason for that.

In today’s episode, we’re chatting about: • How Kimiko rebuilt her relationship with running after burnout and overly restrictive habits • The calendar system she uses to balance work, workouts, relationships, rest, and yes—even showering • How she protects her mental health online—and why sometimes the answer isn’t to mute, it’s to block • Why blindly following wellness trends can leave you frustrated, even when you’re doing everything “right” • How her “one body” mindset motivates her to build strength, protect her health, and keep making memories for years to come We also chat about sleep routines, cycle tracking, realistic nutrition, strength training, running for funsies, and dance parties as pre-workout. Because wellness isn’t about becoming the hottest version of yourself. It’s about caring for the one body you were given so you can actually enjoy your life in it. 💗 Tell us in the comments: What’s one wellness habit you’re stealing from Kimiko? Love you, girlies!!

• The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation—and why one actually lasts to help you achieve your goals


 

• The biggest things quietly killing your motivation (hint: it’s probably not just laziness)


 

• How routines, accountability, playlists, and the five-minute rule can help you keep showing up


 

• Why your “why” matters so much more than your workout plan


 

Motivation isn’t something you either have or don’t have.


 

Some days your 100% looks like crushing a workout. Other days it’s a five-minute walk—and both count.

Some days you’ve got your life together—meal prepping, booking your workout classes, drinking plenty of water. Other days, you wonder if walking from your bed to the couch feels like enough cardio. In this episode of Get the Girlies Moving, we’re talking about why motivation comes and goes, why that’s completely normal, and what actually helps you keep showing up when you don’t feel like it.

]]> Why comparison kills progress (this is your life babe) Get the Girlies Moving 00:28:22 Have you ever left a workout feeling worse about yourself than when you walked in? Whether you’re comparing your body to someone on social media, your progress to the girl next to you in class, or your hardest season to someone else’s highlight reel, comparison has a way of making us forget just how far we’ve come. In this episode of Get the Girlies Moving, we’re having a little girly chat about why comparison steals our joy—and how to bring your focus back to your own life. In today’s episode, we’re talking about: • Why comparing yourself to other women keeps you feeling stuck • Why you never actually know someone else’s story, struggles, or starting point and how assuming keeps you spinning • How positive self-talk, self-soothing touch, breathwork, and nervous-system regulation can help you interrupt comparison in the moment • Why celebrating other women, tracking your own progress, and practicing self-love can completely change the way you see yourself Because you deserve to enjoy your life—not spend it wishing it looked like someone else’s. So give yourself a little grace, celebrate how far you’ve already come, and remember: this is your life, babe. Build one you love. 💗 Tell us in the comments: Where does comparison show up most often in your life? Love you, girlies!!

]]> Why do most girlies stop exercising? (And how can I restart safely?) Get the Girlies Moving 00:22:19 Why do so many women stop exercising—even when they genuinely want to be consistent? And why does “getting back on track” so often turn into doing too much, burning out, and quitting all over again? In this episode of Get the Girlies Moving, we’re talking about the real reasons women stop exercising—and why a lack of discipline might not be the problem. In today’s episode, we’re chatting about: • The many reasons women stop exercising and fall out of consistent movement routines • How to identify your authentic physical and fitness goals—and make sure the goals you’re chasing actually belong to YOU • How shame affects our relationship with exercise, our bodies, and our ability to stay consistent • How to start moving again safely and sustainably without doing too much too soon, getting injured, or burning out Because the goal isn’t to never miss a workout again. It’s to build a relationship with movement that makes your life better—and that you can keep coming back to. 💗 Tell us in the comments: What has made it hardest for you to stay consistent with exercise?
