Your Brain on Movement: Why It's Not Just About Your Body
What if a real benefit of movement has nothing to do with your body? Fit-ology founder Jessica Covington joins More Movement Please to explain why movement is actually brain care, boosting focus, mood, and motivation in ways that have nothing to do with changing how you look. Listen as Jessica breaks down the connection between movement and the brain's dopamine and motivation networks, and why even one minute of moving can shift your mental state before a hard task. She shares her method for pairing movement with affirmations, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how showing up for small movement wins builds real self-trust over time. If you've ever skipped a workout because you didn't have time for "real" exercise, this episode will change how you think about movement completely.

How Judgmental Fitness Content Hurts Beginners (Even When It's Not About Them)
Ever wonder why online fitness spaces can feel so judgmental, even when all you're trying to do is move more? In this episode, guest host Domenic Angelino, who lost over 130 pounds and now holds two master's degrees in exercise science and psychology, breaks down a side effect of toxic fitness culture most creators never think about. Domenic explains how hostile, status driven fitness content doesn't just affect the people watching it directly. It trains people to bring that same harsh energy into other fitness spaces, comment sections, and conversations, making the whole online fitness world feel less safe for beginners. This episode is part of our Take Over series while Ashley steps back to build out the More Movement Please community. Tune in for an honest look at how creators, often without meaning to, shape whether fitness feels welcoming or intimidating for the next person walking through the door.

The Good Kind of Sore: What a Kayaking Trip Taught Me About Getting Back in Shape
I hadn't picked up a kayak paddle by myself in almost twenty years, and my arms let me know about it for two days straight. In this episode I talk about my four hour paddleboarding and kayaking trip at Lake Laurel, why I skipped the paddleboard for the kayak, and what it felt like to realize just how out of shape I still am on the water. I also open up about the physical stuff I've been dealing with lately, hitting day 365 of continuous movement, and why there's a real difference between pain from pushing your body and pain from sitting still all day. Plus, I've got a big announcement about some upcoming guest hosted episodes and what's coming to the Patreon from Rhonda, including boot camps and exclusive content you won't hear anywhere else. If you're trying to figure out how to stay active, get stronger, or just show up for your body more consistently, this one's for you.

Is Walking Enough? The Guilt of "Just" Moving Your Body
Is a walk and some stretching really "enough" movement, or does that guilty voice in your head know something you don't? Ashley gets real about the shame spiral that hits even after a full year of daily movement, and breaks down what the American Heart Association and Harvard Medical School actually recommends. She walks through the real numbers behind the 150 minutes a week guideline, why sitting for hours at a stretch carries real health risks, and why "enough" movement looks different for everybody. This episode is a reminder that grace matters as much as effort, that moving throughout your day counts, and that you don't have to earn your rest by going full throttle every single time. No diet talk. No guilt trips. Just an honest conversation about showing up for your body, one walk at a time. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

When Every Rep Feels Wrong: Showing Up on Your Worst Gym Day
I walked into the gym on zero sleep, dealing with health issues, and honestly not wanting to be there at all. My form was off, I missed steps in the Zumba routines, and even my instructor called me out when I was struggling to lift my weights. In this episode, I get real about what it's like to push through a genuinely bad workout instead of skipping it altogether, and why that choice matters more than nailing every move. I think back to my very first Zumba class in August 2023, when I had to walk out after fifteen minutes, and compare it to where I am now. This one's for anyone who's ever dragged themselves to the gym feeling defeated. Consistency isn't about perfect workouts. It's about refusing to let yourself off the hook, even on the hard days.

Day 365: I Didn't Die (One Year of Moving My Body Every Single Day)
She said she'd move her body every single day for a year, and today she found out if she could actually pull it off. In this episode, Ashley recaps day 365 (and episode 100) of More Movement Please, walking through the Zumba, Tabata, and spin class that closed out a full year of daily movement after two decades of being sedentary. She talks honestly about the health scares that pushed her to start, the balance and strength she didn't expect to gain, and why she's not slowing down for year two. If you've ever wondered whether consistency really works or felt like it's too late to start moving your body, this one's for you.

Why I Record This From My Car: The Story Behind the Mess
Most of the episodes of this podcast get recorded from the front seat of my car, and today I'm finally telling you why. In this milestone episode, I open up about the ADHD brain that needs a calendar appointment to get anything done, why removing every excuse is the only way I stay consistent, and why I refuse to turn this podcast into another polished highlight reel. This is episode 100 and day 365 of moving my body, and I want you in the mess with me for year two. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

Music and Movement: Why I Can't Work Out in Silence
I didn't realize how much I relied on music until I got stuck doing squats in a gas station parking lot with no playlist at all. In this episode, I talk about why the right song can carry you through the hardest part of a workout, what happened when I tried to move without music, and why my instructor Rhonda's playlist at the YMCA might be the best one I've ever heard. If your workouts feel harder than they should, this episode might be the missing piece. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

Why I'm Doing This in My 40s, For the Woman I'll Be at 70
I've never told anyone this, but I was on blood pressure medication for a few months long before I even turned forty, and it scared me more than I can explain. Sadly, even that wasn't enough to get me to move my body...but it should have been. In this episode, I talk about why every workout I do now isn't really for today, it's for the woman I'll be at seventy, eighty, and beyond. I get into why strength and mobility now mean independence later, and why fitness in your 40s is really about protecting your freedom for decades to come.
