• 159. Redefining Fitness Culture

  Something that has really been on my mind lately is fitness culture (or gym culture), and what it looks like to redefine that.Fitness culture is EVERYWHERE these days. It can provide motivation, support, and a sense of community, which are all amazing things!But…it can also lead to unhealthy thoughts and beliefs that are unrealistic, and end up doing more harm than good.I personally LOVE following other women in the fitness space; I look to them for inspiration and motivation, but I also find myself feeling overwhelmed and drained if I’m doing too much of it. I bet you can relate to this, too!Instead of following and consuming content from every.single.fitness coach, influencer, etc. online, I want to encourage you to ONLY learn from those who align with your personal goals.Redefining fitness culture/gym culture is super important to me - it’s a huge reason why I’m all about helping you unfuck your fitness with this podcast, my programs, and more. Ultimately, I hope this episode leaves you refreshed, inspired, and ready to embrace the path that feels right for YOU!In this episode, we cover:What you think you’ll feel vs. what you *actually* feel when consuming other people’s content onlineWhat gym culture/fitness culture refers toNavigating overwhelming fitness advice & feedback from othersRedefining fitness culture and what that means for YOUBeing particular about who you follow and consume content fromLinks/Resources:Ep. 148 | Making Sense of Macros: How to ‘Budget’ Your Macros and Stop Dieting for GoodJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

• 158. Preparing for a Successful ‘Cut’: Being Intentional + Building Sustainable Habits for Long-Term Success

  I don’t know about you, but mentally…I’m preparing for Spring!Since we’re (hopefully) getting to warmer weather soon, this is a great time of year to start preparing for a ‘cut’. I’ve found that this is something many people think about too late though, so let’s talk about it (and plan for it) NOW, before summer arrives!Before you even *think* about doing a ‘cut’, you need to consider 3 missing pieces: your habits, preparation, and intentionality. You’ve got to be both flexible AND realistic with your goals, and make sure they’re attainable for you in this season of life. I can’t stress enough that you should be building habits that are SUSTAINABLE - especially before you do a ‘cut’. We’re not trying to constantly do 30, 60, or 90 day challenges, and then start back at square 1 - no thanks!There will be sacrifices (usually short-term), when you’re in a ‘cut’ phase. Ultimately, it’s up to YOU to make sure you’re truly ready to commit to those changes. If you’re ready to build a body (and life) that you love, I’d love to support you in doing so. There’s no better time, so let’s GO!!In this episode, we cover:Thinking and planning ahead of time vs. waiting until the last minuteSetting yourself up with sustainable habits BEFORE you start a ‘cut’ phaseBeing flexible & realistic so you CAN be successful with your long-term fitness habits5 things to really consider when going into a ‘cut’ phaseBreaking down what your ‘trade-offs’ can look likeWhy you need to make sure you’re *actually* serious about your fitness journey BEFORE hiring a coach or starting a workout program Links/Resources:Ep. 152 | Effective Strategies for Transitioning Through the 3 Fitness Phases: Surplus, Maintenance and DeficitJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

• 157. Real Talk: Do We All *Really* Have the Same 24 Hours as Beyonce?

  You’ve probably heard the saying “we all have the same 24 hours in a day”. Honestly, this is one of those statements that drives me CRAZY. So, I’m just going to come out and say it…We do NOT all have the same 24 hours in a day.Sure, we all ‘get’ a total of 24 hours every day, but they do NOT look the same. Not all time is created equal!I know you have a lot on your plate, but that doesn’t give you permission to use the whole ‘I don’t have time’ excuse indefinitely, either. It’s important to make the most of YOUR 24 hours - especially if your health and fitness is a priority!You’re not a loser, and you’re not a failure - you just don’t have the same amount of time as Beyonce, or anyone else! Thankfully, you DO have time to focus on what really matters to you. Stop waiting for life to be ‘less busy’, and make it happen NOW!In this episode, we cover:Why being an influencer & building a business online IS a full-time gigWhy we don’t *actually* have the same 24 hours as anyone elseMaking the most of YOUR 24 hoursThe real ‘time suck’ that is social mediaRealizing that you probably *won’t* have more time in your schedule as your kids get olderLinks/Resources:Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

• 156. Dealing with Unsolicited Comments About Your Body: Transform Unwelcome Advice into Personal Strength

  Something that seems to be prevalent now, more than EVER in our society, is receiving unsolicited comments about our bodies.Today’s episode is actually inspired by a recent message I received from a listener, all about THIS topic. I’ve dealt with it on my own journey, and even if you haven’t, I bet you know someone who has!For some reason, people feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and opinions on other people’s bodies (typically, women are the ones getting this feedback). This is happening super frequently online with social media, but it happens in person too (i.e. women working out in the gym). I’m not sure where people have gotten the audacity to do this, but it is NOT okay to put other people’s bodies down. Words DO matter, and they have consequences.We really need to get back to the concept of ‘thinking before we speak’ (or type online) - not everything should be spoken out loud!If you’ve experienced this, I want to urge you to protect your peace, however that looks for you. You are ENOUGH already, and if you need support to keep kicking ass on your fitness journey, I’m here for you! In this episode, we cover:Why people are feeling more comfortable than EVER to comment on other people’s bodiesThe audacity that people have, thinking it’s okay to say the things that they sayNormalizing the concept of ‘thinking before you speak’How to protect yourself when someone gives their unsolicited opinion on your bodyLinks/Resources:Ep. 150 | Empowering Women in Fitness: Breaking Stereotypes, Embracing Authenticity and Building Strength + ConfidenceEp. 116 | Social Gatherings Without Guilt: Tackling Food and Drink Pressure from OthersJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
