At twenty-one, Ashley Grant was active without even trying. At forty-one, she's rebuilding everything she let slip away. In this episode of More Movement Please, Ashley gets honest about the two decades she spent not moving her body, and the specific advice she wishes someone had handed her before the weight crept on. From ditching the stairs to falling for quick fixes, she breaks down exactly where things went sideways and what she'd tell her younger self instead. If you're standing at your own turning point right now, wondering whether the small choices really matter, this one's for you.

A doctor's warning didn't change anything. Watching someone she loved struggle with their health did. In this episode, Ashley shares the honest, unexpected moment that finally got her off the couch after years of being told she needed to. She breaks down the difference between a "tornado watch" and a "tornado warning" and how that idea helped her understand why some warnings stick and others don't. If you've been told you need to take care of yourself but haven't felt the urgency yet, this episode will help you figure out exactly where you stand and what to do about it.

A thirty-five pack of water used to mean asking for help. Now Ashley picks it up herself, and that's just the start of what fitness gave her back. In this Fourth of July episode, she talks about the real freedom that comes from getting stronger: carrying your own groceries, taking the stairs without stopping, dancing all night without needing a chair. She reflects on hikes she couldn't have finished a year ago and a dance floor moment with her husband that reminded her why she started. If you've ever felt boxed in by your own body, this one's for you. Have you worked out today?

Ashley's tired of guessing whether that protein bar or electrolyte packet is actually worth your money. So she's volunteering to test it first and tell you the truth. In this episode, she opens up her new plan to try the products, classes, and trends her listeners are curious about, from protein pancakes to electrolyte supplements, and report back with zero sugarcoating. She's clear about her boundaries too: no detox teas, no diet culture nonsense, just honest takes on the stuff that might actually help you move more. If you've ever wanted someone else to try it first, this is your show.

You just went from lifting twenties back down to eights, and you're furious about it. Ashley gets brutally honest about backsliding at the gym, gaining weight back, and why she had to become her own cheerleader instead of waiting for anyone else to clap for her. This episode is about ditching the scale-and-pant-size scoreboard and celebrating the fact that you showed up at all, even on the days it feels like nothing is working. If you're intimidated by fitness or stuck in a rut, this one's your permission slip to talk nicer to yourself.

If you're new here and you keep hearing about Day 365 and have no idea what that means, this episode is for you. Ashley Grant tells the whole story from the beginning, and it starts with one sentence from instructor Rhonda Goode that finally stuck.

Ashley walks through the week of July 14, 2025, when she showed up to 19 classes in seven days and accidentally set her own life on fire in the best way. She talks about the Instagram accountability posts, the Medium article, the podcast launch, and why July 13, 2026 is not just a birthday but a celebration of 365 days of maximum effort. This is the origin story. New listeners, this is your entry point.

Thirty-one days away from one full year of showing up, and Ashley Grant is getting real about what this milestone actually means. If you think getting fit in your forties is supposed to feel smooth and easy, this episode will tell you the truth nobody else is saying out loud.

Ashley reflects on nearly two decades of being inactive, the pain that came with it, and why she refuses to let that be her story anymore. She talks about wanting more than just smaller clothes, about watching the people she loves start to struggle with movement, and about why functionality, not vanity, is the real reason to get up and go. This one hits different when you're 31 days from something huge.

What happens when a morbidly obese fourteen-year-old loses over 130 pounds and accidentally becomes the person his whole high school turns to for fitness advice? You get Domenic Angelino, and his story is one of the most fascinating ones to hit this podcast yet.

Domenic walks us through going from overweight teen to double-majoring in exercise science and psychology, then earning two master's degrees in kinesiology and public health. Ashley reacts to his voice note with her own honest reflection on how she spent her active years as a dancer and taekwondo student, only to go completely inactive in college and not find her way back to fitness until 41. This is a conversation about how people find fitness, and why that story matters.

Ashley Grant is back in the gym after ten days away, and she has thoughts. Lots of them. If you've ever wondered whether solo workouts and group classes are really that different, this episode settles it.

Ashley breaks down her new gym schedule, how she's adding 365 extra minutes of effort leading up to her one-year mark, and what happened when she went hiking with weighted wristbands on. Then she gets out of Zumba and low-impact cardio and delivers a verdict that will sound very familiar to anyone who has ever tried to convince themselves that working out alone is just as good. Spoiler: it's not. Plus, a big announcement about the More Movement Please community group.
