Swole Sisters

This week, the Swole Sisters are in Bettina's (wheel)house as she "teaches Kerri to cook" and the ladies talk health, bodies, food, gasses...you know, the usual.

Also, are you really obligated to talk about Whole 30 while on Whole 30? Not really a spoiler alert - yes.

Swole Sisters make podcast history–okay, just *this* podcast's history–and finally make it to Pilates!! We answer age-old questions such as 'what is pilates,' 'can you exercise while in bed,' and 'are reformers the ugly step cousins of transformers'? Also, Bettina talks about her new workout schedule, Kerri talks about Whole30 because you're legally bound to talk about Whole30 when you're on Whole30, and both babes burb a lot. Is this a workout, or is it a blast?!

Strap on your heart rate monitors, because Bettina and Kerri are going to Orange Theory! Sweating through the data-based HIIT class, we consider the metrics of wellness, play some word association, and use wine and Thai food to dismantle the patriarchy.

The Swole Sisters are on a time crunch this week, but that's okay...we talk fast!

The Swole Sisters settle into their first Self-Care Sunday, trading in brutal burpees for...butt stuff?

Bettina and Kerri accidentally book a couples massage, where the two kneed out knots as well as some serious issues like bodily autonomy, drinking in moderation, and the discomfort of self-care. Also, reality t.v. because duh.

 

The Swole Sisters step out of Williamsburg and brave a new neighborhood–Greenpoint–to get sweaty on a Sunday with Zumba at Breakin' Boundaries.

It wouldn't be a Swole Sisters podcast without some weird segues, and this episode we rhyme a bit, talk about Vanderpump Rules and Queer Eye, and the limitations of our calorie obsessed culture.

The Swole Sisters are in for a rude awakening, when they want a Lazy Sunday but end up at an early morning cardio class filled with Amazon gladiator women. This episode also boasts the return of Kardashian Korner, a study of the intersection between political uncertainty and financial (ir)responsibility, and bagels!

What happens when you get four feminists in a Foundations of CrossFit class? It sounds like the start of a terribly problematic joke, but it's actually this weeks episode! Kerri and Bettina grab some friends and go ass-to-grass on the inclusivity, hypocrisy, and weird vibes of crossfit training. Ding, Ding–Science!

Swole Sisters get really, uncomfortably sweaty this week at the musically-modivated Y7 yoga class. We revisit our discussion of cultural appropriation in the fitness industry, discuss the tell-tale signs that Kerri's been abducted by aliens, and take a call from a very special listener...

This Black Friday, help yourself to some leftovers, and a new episode of Swole Sisters! Bettina and Kerri hit the gym to test out Fitness Magazine’s Bridal Bootcamp, and test their hypothesis that wedding culture is toxic. Tune in to hear our hot takes on holiday stress, body positivity, and the power of a well-crafted mantra…

The Swole Sisters are back in the ring for Season 2! We channel our aggression and inner punk rockers at Overthrow, the seedy dive-bar converted into a boxing gym.

A lot has changed over the summer--marriage proposals, marathons, therapy, oh my!--but a lot has stayed the same...I'm looking at you, on-pod burps.
