February 01, 2023 29. Are You Thinking About Signing-up for a 5K?
Welcome to Simple(ish) Fitness!
We have talked about motivation many times throughout the Simple(ish) Fitness episodes, and mentioned the value of implementing external motivators. An excellent way to do this is signing up for an event and putting a date on the calendar!
This is a great way to commit to something and manufacture some motivation for exercising when you know that you have an active event on the calendar you are working towards. Today’s conversation will chat about why and how this is so helpful in helping us meet our goals.
We have the discussion in the context of a 5K because they're easy for almost anyone to find, sign up for, and participate in - though the lessons we learn in this episode can be applied to any sort of fitness event that you think is a good fit for you!

January 18, 2023 28. How to Introduce Resistance Training to Your Fitness
Welcome to Simple(ish) Fitness!
As we progress along our fitness journeys, we will need to add new things and challenge ourselves. You likely will start fitness at the very beginning with increasing your daily movements, walking, stretching, and other tasks that you can begin today.
Resistance training should be soon to follow, so how do we introduce resistance training (or weight training) into our lifestyle and what are the best ways to go about doing that?

January 04, 2023 26. What Should You Wear During Exercise?
Welcome to Simple(ish) Fitness!
I realize that what you wear during exercise doesn’t seem like the most complex of fitness conversations, it doesn’t carry a lot of importance or impact in meeting your goals… but actually, maybe it does.
The experience you create through things that are in your control makes a huge impact on your success. And what you wear is certainly one of those things that is in your control!

December 21, 2022 25. Consistency in Action with Tom Mounsey
Welcome to Simple(ish) Fitness!
Today we are talking with a special guest, Tom Mounsey. Brandon has been training Tom for about a year and we asked him to come share about his fitness journey with us.
Consistency is the hero of this story, as in most fitness success stories. We dive into how Tom has seen the effects of being consistent in fitness, how he started out when ‘consistency’ hadn’t taken hold yet, and what tools we can use to be more consistent in our own fitness journeys.
If you want to follow Tom on Instagram and say hi you can find him here: @mounseyt

December 14, 2022 24. When and Why (or Why Not) to Use BMI
Welcome to Simple(ish) Fitness!
Let's be honest, we’ve all done it, punched our height and weight into a BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator to see where we are on the scale.
But how important is the number we are given on the BMI chart? Why is it even a thing… and when should we pay attention to it? Today we have this conversation and answer all the burning BMI questions you’re asking yourself too.

December 07, 2022 23. Review Episode: What Are the Biggest Lessons We’ve Learned So Far
Welcome to Simple(ish) Fitness!
Through the past many months we have been working hard to bring fitness to you without overcomplicating it and helping you to understand what makes us healthy.
We have uncovered the biggest themes that we will use moving forward and that define the mindset we need to adopt as we get further along our fitness journeys. Our foundation if you will. Today we will talk about the biggest lessons we have learned so far.
Our mission up to this point has been to simplify what it means and takes to have a healthy lifestyle… and that’s still our mission as we move forward.

November 23, 2022 22. What You Need to Know About Stretching
Welcome to Simple(ish) Fitness!
What does stretching actually do for you? What is your knowledge of stretching and how to best use it in your life?
Growing up I always thought you stretched to avoid injury. That’s when I did it, when I was engaging in an activity that I believed to have a higher risk of injury. I was not educated on the full benefits of stretching or even how to actually reduce the risk of injury.
So in this episode we are going to talk about stretching. How it benefits you and if it really does (or doesn’t) reduce the risk of injury. Now, we aren’t going to tell you what stretches to do here or when to do them - we will save that for another conversation. But we are going to teach you what stretching actually does!

Welcome to Simple(ish) Fitness!
You want to exercise, you’re trying to get into shape, maybe you even started moving and … BAM, you roll your ankle and you’re told to rest for 2-4 weeks while it heals. Sound familiar?
Not only is that an all too common story, it’s also generally the right solution. Join us as we break down what you CAN do to exercise through injury when you think you’re stuck back at zero.
