Lower back pain is one of the most common ailments that people experience in their lifetime. However, there are many misconceptions around how to manage it, and why it’s happening in the first place. Tune in to hear Dr. Becky explain how to figure out where your pain is coming from, how to fix it, and how to manage it in the future.

On today’s episode of The Fit Parent Podcast we are talking about how to get ourselves out of a rut and back to winning with our fitness & nutrition routines.

We go into depth on:

We can't let ruts define what we do. When we focus on our failures, we steer into them and continue the cycle. To break this, we have to focus back on the basics. Focus on one single thing that you can achieve and celebrate the hell out of it. Motivation is a momentum game. When we give ourselves the chance to win (no matter how small it may feel) it creates a domino effect that will start to make our failures feel smaller.

On today’s episode of The Fit Parent Podcast I am joined by my friend, fellow dad & coach Adam Badger to talk about how to stay on track with your fitness goals through life’s interruptions.

We go into depth on:

Life is filled with interruptions. They are unavoidable & can easily derail your progress if you aren’t set up for success. In this episode, we dive into how to take quitting off the table so that even when you forget your lunch or your kids are home and interrupt your workout or you’re flat out too exhausted, you’re able to keep on track with your goals.

On today’s episode of The Fit Parent Podcast I am joined by my close friend, mom of 3, and current client Danielle Towle to talk about how she started using fitness to become the best version of herself.

We go into depth on:

Fitness goals tend to drive short term solutions; “I want to lose 20 lbs by summer”. But, when we shift our focus from what we want to achieve in the short term, to who we want to become, we are able to make changes that will bring us long term results and closer to living our fit life.

On this special episode of The Fit Parent Podcast I am joined by my wife, Megan, to talk about how she lost 25 lbs and over 18 inches in the last year without tracking calories or giving up cheesecake.

We go into depth on:

A year ago, my wife said to me: “Maybe I’m just not meant to lose weight.” It broke my heart. But, after a year of consistently showing up, the other day, she donated half her closet because it was too big. This morning, she came downstairs wearing a shirt she hasn’t worn since before pregnancy (nearly 5 years ago). Last week, she went shopping &, for the first time in years, came home feeling good about herself. And while she’ll tell you it wasn’t always smooth, it hasn’t gone as fast as she wanted, & she still has progress to make, she will also tell you that she’s proud of herself. I’m proud of her, too.

On today’s episode of The Fit Parent Podcast we are talking about why mastering the skills are more important than focusing on the solution.

We go into depth on:

The problem: you want to lose 20 lbs. The solution: calorie deficit (pre-prepped meals) strength training & cardio (group class at the gym 3 days/week). The solution is simple. But if you haven’t mastered the skills to keep you there, what is going to happen when you’re at a restaurant and don’t have your prepared meal in front of you? Or your cardio class at the gym got canceled at the last minute? You’ll fall off. Long Term fitness success is all about building your toolbox of skills so that you can stay on track no matter what life throws at you.

On today’s episode of The Fit Parent Podcast I am joined by certified personal trainer, nutrition coach & mom Rachel Trotta to talk about building short term weight loss goals into long term lifestyle changes.

We go into depth on:

When defining our fitness goals, we tend to zoom in really closely on results - “I want to lose 40lbs” or “I want to be lean & toned” - but we forget to ask ourselves how we want our lifestyle to look like in the end. Would you be willing to lose 20 lbs instead of 40lbs if the resulting lifestyle meant that you’d be able to keep it off without excessive pressure and stress? Finding the right fitness routine is all about building long term habits and changes that bring us closer to the lifestyle we ultimately want to be living.

On today’s episode of The Fit Parent Podcast we are talking about the fourth trimester of pregnancy, postpartum. 

We go into depth on:

As I’ve said before, once you are postpartum you are always postpartum. Your body will always carry the markers of pregnancy and delivery. It does not define you, but it would be silly to ignore these markers when planning your fitness routine.

On today’s episode of The Fit Parent Podcast I am joined by fitness coach and strength training expert, Ren Collier, to talk about the components of a good strength training program.

We go into depth on:

Strength training is key for fat loss. But, most importantly, it’s essential for your overall health. Longevity, injury prevention and building strength for everyday challenges (like getting off the toilet or going up & down the stairs unassisted) all come from training your body now. No matter where you are starting or what your goals are, add strength training into your routine. Your future self will thank you.
