Trainer Talk: A Fitness Blender Podcast

Welcome back to Trainer Talk: A Fitness Blender Podcast. In episode 3, the team dives into pre-workout routines and rituals that help prepare our body and mind for exercise!

After a brief discussion on whether or not we feel pre-workout routines are important, we share the steps each of us take. We talk about everything from our fueling preferences, playlist choices, and how we approach our own warm-ups, to mindset hacks and clothing choices.

Something we all agreed on is that having a pre-workout routine of some sort IS important, but what that looks like will vary from person to person (and even day to day).

Episode Highlights

• Why Tasha’s pre-workout routine starts the night before
• Which trainer involves dancing and “paparazzi” in their pre-workout routine
• How our routines are different before filming a FitnessBlender workout vs. doing our own workout
• The team’s go-to music playlists
• Tip for preparing for post-workout nutrition BEFORE your workout

We took a more casual, conversational approach with this episode and ended up having some good laughs and even learning from one another as well!

We hope this helped you evaluate your own pre-workout routine and gave you a few ideas to incorporate before your next workout to optimize your energy and results.

Ever wonder how we, as personal trainers, navigate fitness when we’re faced with something hard in our lives, or we just aren’t feeling motivated?

A Fitness Blender member recently wrote in to the community - 

“In my life I have utilized working out to get me through the hard times in life and recently have had some potentially worrying news and I’m finding it hard to get myself moving even though I know I will feel better afterwards. I would love to hear how others move through this and any tips or advice on what works for you?”

In this first episode of Trainer Talk: A Fitness Blender Podcast we are breaking this topic down with Nicole, Tasha, Patrice, and Brian.

Spoiler alert: We’re human, and not always motivated either!

We each share our honest personal experience with low motivation as a result of illness, overtraining, or personal life struggles.

Episode Highlights:

• How Patrice handled workouts during a family emergency
• Handling feelings of guilt around missing workouts or losing progress
• The approach Brian teaches his clients and kids around motivation
• Trusting yourself and taking the pressure off
• How Tasha knows when she truly needs a break
• How Nicole makes it easier to approach fitness in tough seasons

We hope you enjoy this 15-minute conversation!
