Fitness Redefined: A refreshing approach to fitness in your 40s.
Health isn’t just about exercise. The 30 minutes we spend working out each day doesn’t define our overall well-being. I realized this firsthand when I turned 40–I had to rethink everything I was doing. I had to redefine fitness.
The biggest question I faced was: Can I achieve real health and fitness in my 40s through walking, strength training, and good nutrition? Or do I need more–more supplements, stricter routines, a rigid approach?
The answer lies in Exercise Science, but not in the way you might think. It’s not about punishment or perfection. It’s about experiencing real, sustainable change–fitness that aligns with your goals, your schedule, your hormones, and life’s unpredictability. Fitness with heart. Fitness with grace.
I’ll be sharing my own journey, along with expert guests who will help us all navigate this stage of life with strength and confidence.
What Will We Talk About?
From the 1,000 focus groups I’ve led to the thousands of emails I’ve received, one thing is clear: Most women are too hard on themselves when it comes to fitness. They feel like they’re not doing enough, struggle with consistency, or let life’s chaos derail their progress.
My goal? To help movement become a natural part of our lives–not just another task on the to-do list. To embrace aging with strength and confidence.
This podcast will share HOW to uncomplicate and enjoy movement again, while de-bunking some very pervasive theories out there.

Muscle vs. Fat: Why the Scale Doesn’t Show Your Real Progress

Muscle vs. Fat: Why the Scale Doesn’t Show Your Real Progress
If the scale is making you second-guess your progress, this 3-minute podcast episode will change your perspective.
If you’re exercising and not seeing the scale drop, don’t panic—fat loss happens before weight loss becomes noticeable. The scale doesn’t tell the full story of what’s happening in your body.
Why the Scale Can Be Misleading–Muscle is about 75% water, while fat is roughly 15% water. Since water is heavy, muscle naturally weighs more than fat. Muscle is denser, it's more metabolically active.
This means you will lose inches before you see the scale change.
If you’ve started strength training—whether it’s barre, Pilates, lifting weights, or even resistance-based workouts—your body will retain water to repair tissues. This is a normal and necessary part of the process.
