Work it Out!

Happy Labor Day, babies! We have a special mini-sode featuring Caitlin's hubby Diego (Sports Lordz podcast) and we wanna about Health At Every Size or HAES. We know Caitlin name drops Dr. Linda Bacon's book and research, but don't always have a chance to really get down and dirty with what the research has taught us. So let's talk about it!

Mego and Caitlin are flying... not solo but duo? this episode because they have a LOT to say about fitness queen Cassey Ho's decision to publicly announce that she is trying to lose weight. The girls break down why this is so problematic and harmful to the body positive movement, and also find a few potential silver linings on this cloud of internalized fat-phobia.

We are so pumped to bring you this interview with personal trainer and knowledgeable-as-hell Asher Freeman. Asher is the trans-masculine owner of the Non Normative Body Club in Philadelphia with the goal of “creating accessible fitness spaces for those of us whose bodies and identities rebel against normative definitions of beauty and health.” Asher creates inclusive fitness spaces through personal training, workshops, and group fitness that is trans/queer/LGBTQ+ and truly body positive. We talk about navigating fatphobia and internalized fat phobia in the fitness industry, what heart health REALLY means, biking across the country and staying with generous but homophobic people, and the best ways to really help the revolution. We love Asher’s positive energy, and we know you will too!

Travel Blogger Noel Salter (TravelingFat.com) shares what it's like getting back into the exercise after a long break- you're gonna love this one, peoples. We all learn what a heel stretch is, how to handle the voices in your head that tell you everyone at the gym is looking at you, and what to do if you can't bring yourself to cancel your Blink membership.

We’re so pumped to have Henry Zebrowski (Last Podcast on the Left, You’re Pretty Face Is Going To Hell) on the ‘pod. We reminisce about long lost days of partying hard, how Hollywood doctors aren’t real doctors, ritual magick, which type of yoga Henry likes the most, and how
Henry went through a period of slightly disordered eating when his career really started taking off. Through awareness and support from his wife, he’s learned to strike a balance and is now in a healthier place, but we talk about how people don’t often clock ED behaviors in men or people in bigger bodies. You’re not gonna want to miss this one, kids!

Caitlin is out of town so Mego is holding it down with Natasha Vaynblat, and ladies are talking about maybe the hardest workout yet- Switch Playground in New York City. Not only is Switch a super hard all-around strength training class with a live DJ and assigned partners, but maybe they hire models to take the class with you? Megan and Natasha give you the dirt on what the real poor man’s Soul Cycle is, what it’s like to briefly believe in a higher power even as an atheist, and how to deal with fat-girl-attention at the gym.

The girls are back discussing their stretching and foam rollin' so don't skip this rest day, BBs! Mego and Caitlin disagree on the best post-workout drinks (apparently MANY people go for chocolate milk, and science supports this choice), weigh in on the Nike plus size mannequin, and sing more than normal.

Guys we have a treat for you! Molly Knefel (Radio Dispatch, Page Seven podcasts, teaching artist extraordinaire) talks about pregnancy, becoming acutely aware of your body at all times, her full-proof plan to become a postpartum Ninja Warrior, and how healing our own body image issues helps the kids in our lives. It's fun one and we talk about a lot of gross pregnancy stuff, including an epic round of "EWWW GROSS!"

So what to do when you quit on a 28 day challenge after 4 days? Or work so many hours you literally don't have energy to do anything other than sit and zone out? Or you're Kim Kardashian and you just released a #problematic sculpt wear line? LISTEN TO FIND OUT, kids.

The girls talk dancing on your own with the one and only Rebecca Robles. Rebecca was a performer from a young age, so finding time to perform for herself and herself only was the start of her fitness journey. We talk tap dancing, being the young child at a Weight Watchers meeting, and some CLASSIC Britney and Christina lewks.
