Wait, Is HIIT Just a Marketing Label? What Fitness Buzzwords Actually Mean

That class you've been scared to try might not be as intense as its name suggests, and that "easy" walk might be doing more for you than you think. Fitness expert Annie Landry breaks down what HIIT and LISS actually mean from an exercise science standpoint (hint: the fitness industry has been a little loose with those definitions), and why women over thirty-five specifically may want to stop chasing intensity every single day. Ashley also gets real about her own active recovery days and why pairing high and low intensity movement might be the smartest thing you can do for your body. Less confusion, more movement.

Consistency Beats Intensity: A 20-Year Trainer's Best Advice for Beginners

You don't have to go hard. You just have to show up. Personal trainer Chris Cooper has spent twenty years in the fitness industry, and his number one tip for workout success fits in one sentence: consistency beats intensity.

Stop Waiting to Feel Motivated: Why Action Comes First

If you've been waiting to feel motivated before you start working out, you might be waiting forever. Yoga teacher, podcast producer, and psychology-backed wellness expert Jamie Brooke breaks down why motivation is actually the result of taking action, not the starting point, and what that means for anyone who keeps pushing their workout to "next Monday." In this episode, Jamie shares the science-backed concept from Atomic Habits that flips the motivation myth on its head, a real-life example of a retired, kid-free woman who still can't seem to get to the gym, and the one question you should ask yourself instead of "do I feel like it today?" Host Ashley Grant also gets real about how waiting for motivation would have kept her stuck as the girl who couldn't make it through 15 minutes of Zumba. If you've ever talked yourself out of a workout before you even started, this episode is for you. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

This Fitness Instructor Can Tell in 60 Seconds If You're Going to Quit

Fourteen years of watching people walk through a gym door has given Rhonda Goode an almost unsettling ability to read a new student before the music even starts, and in this episode, she tells you exactly what she sees. This is the final installment of our Podcasthon series, and it might be the most important one. Rhonda breaks down what separates the people who completely transform their lives from the ones who stay stuck in the same place year after year, and the answer is simpler and more uncomfortable than most people want to hear. She gets into why you cannot out-exercise a week of sitting, what the Netflix and binge lifestyle is actually costing your body, whether you can really outwork a bad diet, and what she would say right now to the person who knows something has to change but hasn't made the move yet. She also shares what it feels like when a student sends her a photo from the top of a mountain and says her class made the hike easy. This episode wraps up our spotlight on the Humane Society Animal League for Life of Madison County, Kentucky, as part of Podcasthon 2026.

14 Years at the Front of the Room: What a Real Fitness Instructor Actually Sees

If you have ever wondered what your fitness instructor is actually thinking when they scan the room, Rhonda Goode is about to tell you. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on fourteen years of watching the fitness industry from the inside, and she has opinions. We get into the single biggest mistake she sees instructors make that costs them student loyalty, why she intentionally shows up five to seven minutes late to every class, what she can read from your body language before the music even starts, and why she does not waste time on people who are just there to check a box. She also weighs in on where the fitness industry is headed, what she thinks about the explosion of online certifications, and the one piece of advice she would give any new instructor before they step in front of their first class. Fair warning: she is not gentle about any of it. This is part two of three special episodes recorded as part of Podcasthon 2026, a global initiative where thousands of podcasts spotlight a charity of their choice. Our featured charity is the Humane Society Animal League for Life of Madison County, Kentucky.

She Never Planned to Teach. Then the Room Filled Up and the Mirrors Fogged Over.

Rhonda Goode did not set out to become a fitness instructor. She set out to find someone who could kill her in a workout class, and when both of those instructors quit at the same time, she picked up the music and just went. What followed was fourteen years of packed rooms, fogged mirrors, pool classes that exploded out of nowhere, and a teaching style built entirely on refusing to stop moving. In this episode, Rhonda walks us through the full origin story: the chaotic Zumba sub that started it all, the Berea College classes that grew from two loyal students to sixty-five people crammed six inches from the front mirror, the YMCA in Richmond that became her home base, and how a woman who freely admits she is not a people person ended up being the person hundreds of people refuse to miss a chance to work out with. This is part one of three special episodes recorded as part of Podcasthon 2026, a global initiative where thousands of podcasts shine a spotlight on a charity of their choice.

Is Your Workout Actually Working Against You? A Nurse Practitioner's Take on Strength, Recovery, and Training Smarter

A nurse practitioner who specializes in integrative medicine just made the case that strength training is literally medicine...not a bonus, not a nice-to-have, medicine. In this episode, Ashley shares a powerful voice note from Stephanie Baubie, NP, who breaks down why muscle mass is one of the strongest predictors of how well we age, and why the "more is always better" mentality could be quietly sabotaging your results. Stephanie covers the science behind strength training for long-term health, why overtraining spikes cortisol and works against muscle recovery, and what women in their forties specifically need to know as hormones shift during perimenopause. Ashley also gets refreshingly honest about her own training habits, clocking in at 10 to 16 hours of exercise per week, and what this episode made her rethink. If you have ever felt like you were doing all the right things but still felt depleted, this episode is for you. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

The Truth About Fad Diets, Fitness Goals, and Why There's No Finish Line

What if the biggest thing holding you back in fitness isn't your body, but it's what you believe? In this Q&A episode of More Movement Please, Ashley gets raw and reflective answering listener questions she didn't see coming. She revisits the moment she walked out of her very first Zumba class after 15 minutes, what she wishes she'd told herself that day, and the one piece of advice from her instructor she ignored...and knows now she shouldn't have. She also breaks down how getting serious about fitness changed her work, her creativity, and even her social life in ways she never expected. Plus, she tackles the big question: is there actually a finish line in fitness? (Spoiler: it's complicated...and a little morbid.) If you've ever wondered whether it's worth starting when you feel miles behind, this one's for you. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

Your Past Failures Are Actually Your Fitness Roadmap (Especially After 40)

What if every diet you've abandoned and every workout plan you've quit was actually preparing you to finally succeed? Fitness expert Domenic Angelino joins Ashley with a fresh take on weight loss after 40 that will completely change how you see your lived experience. In this episode, Ashley reacts to Domenic's voice note about why people over 40 have a hidden advantage most fitness influencers never talk about. They dig into why willpower is a red herring, how to stop picking fitness strategies that don't match your personality, and why your past "failures" are actually the most valuable data you have. Ashley gets personal too, sharing why rice cake diets and treadmill sessions left her miserable, and exactly how she figured out that group fitness and great music were the keys she'd been missing all along. If you've ever felt like it's too late to get fit or like you just don't have what it takes, this one is for you. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.
