Reasonably Fit

"What I eat in a day" videos -  you've probably seen them. Fitness influencers sharing a perfectly curated day of what they eat in attempts to "inspire" or educate their followers on nutrition. But are these types of posts actually helpful, or can they be harmful for the people consuming the information? Coming into this discussion, Lauren had very strong opinions, only to find out that Jason had a different perspective on it. And then through a quick Instagram poll we developed an even broader perspective on how people feel about the topic. 

Things get vulnerable and messy, but we share it all and come together in the end with an evolved opinion while respecting each other's truths.

You can't do fitness "wrong" and all movement is good movement, but there are some common mistakes that could be holding you back from making progress or reaching the goals you've set for yourself. In this episode we break down the top 5 mistakes we see people making in the gym, and provide tangible takeaways so that you can either make some positive changes or avoid those mistakes altogether!

The episode starts with a 5 minute conversation about whether it's better to be the oldest kid in the class or the youngest, and has nothing to do with the rest of the episode but is a small glimpse into who we are as humans and how we navigate situations as parents. Feel free to skip ahead if you just want to get straight to the information :)

In our first official episode we dive right into a question we get asked all the time, "how do I get motivated to workout?" After some conversation around what it even means for someone to "be motivated" we provide our top four solutions for anyone who is feeling a lack of motivation to exercise. Toward the end we mention a solution that we actually left off the original list (goal setting) and offer a new way of looking at goals and their relationship to motivation.

Welcome to Reasonably Fit! This podcast brings a sense of grounded realism to an industry that is dominated by extremes. Right now, fitness is made out to be this all-or-nothing, highly intense, and somewhat elitist endeavor. But contrary to what social media will have you believe, most people aren't trying to become figure competitors or powerlifters or bodybuilders. Most people are looking to have fitness seamlessly fit into their lives, without taking over their lives. And that's where we come in! We've been trainers for over 14 years and we've worked with thousands of people just like you. People who want to be able to run and chase their kids around without having to stop and catch their breath. People who want to be able to say YES to 5Ks and hikes and adventures. People who want to feel strong and confident and independent in any situation. People who want to be reasonably fit. In this podcast we will deep dive into topics that most people face on their fitness journeys such as how to get (and stay) motivated for your workouts, and mistakes in the gym that are keeping you from reaching your goals. We can't wait to bring you sensible, realistic, tangible advice to help you feel your very best!
