The Kim Constable Podcast

In the first of two episodes this week, I want to share an interview I gave to the amazing Sheila Bella of the Pretty Rich podcast. Sheila is the owner of not one but two seven-figure businesses. So it really was a case of not one but two successful women sharing the mic, comparing experiences, and ramping up your motivation to succeed. Listen up for how I see succeeding in your fitness is related...

Last weekend, I turned to my husband and said, "I feel depressed." He turned to me, incredulous, and said, "You've just had a $500,000 launch, and you're in the best physical condition of your life." I couldn't help feeling that he had a point. But nonetheless I felt depressed. So how can a woman who seemingly has it all get to a point where she feels depressed? And most importantly, how, when I f...

The other day, somebody messaged me: Kim, you make it all look so easy. But that’s wrong. I don’t make it LOOK easy, I DESIGN it to be easy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of shredding, trying to make money, and living your life all at the same time, then this episode is for you. I’m not saying it’s easy to juggle all these demands, but you can certainly make it a heck of a lot eas...

Due to special demand, here it is - a very special live training session I gave to teach people like you just how I made my millions. Oh yes, baby, it’s all in here: every detail of how I went from disgruntled yoga teacher to buzzing millionaire. There’s no fluff here. This is the down in the dirt nitty gritty. If you don’t take away at least one shiny golden nugget of information that will transf...

So many of you ask me this question: how do I cope when my nearest and dearest won't support me? Well, my lovelies, I've been there, bought the t-shirt and planted my flag. When a girl from a working class family in Belfast decides she's going to stand on stage and strike a pose that her relatives consider should only be seen in a porn mag, how much support do you suppose she gets? That’s right, z...

You cannot make time. But you can juggle with it, kick it around a bit, and tweak its nose. Relax, listeners, I haven’t lost my mind. But people are always asking me how I find the time to sculpt my body, raise four kids, and run a successful business. Some people even accuse me of having more time than everybody else. But I swear, I haven’t invented the 30-hour day. For years, I thought I’d never...

Coming to the end of a diet or shred can be a very emotional time if you’ve not mentally prepared for it. If you’re not careful, you get sucked into a kind of half-off half-on limbo where you’re not shredding but you’re not doing anything else either. Let me tell you - that’s hell on earth. But fear not, listener, I have just the strategy for you. I reveal the very first thing I do after I finish...

A short while ago, I blew up Instagram by suggesting that too much fruit can make you fat. A lot of people completely lost their minds because I said this, and the whole brouhaha became known as “fruitgate”.  In this week’s show I’ll explain why I said it, what I learned about human behaviour from the whole crazy episode, and explain how to use food as a tool instead of an emotional crutch. It’ll...

Everybody has an opinion on parenting - especially the way I do it. You see, I was brought up in a very traditional way, which caused me all sorts of problems in my early adult life. When I became pregnant for the first time I was determined to find another way of parenting: a way to raise my kids to be full of joy, and to avoid the kind of controlling behaviour that can fill kids with fear. That’...

Oh dear. Well, this all began when an internet troll decided to criticise the state of my house’s window sills. I kid you not. Living life on the internet as a health & fitness influencer, as I do, I get used to this kind of nonsense, and much worse. But it did get me worrying about people who are less thick-skinned. So, if your life is ever blighted by haters and trolls, on the internet or off it...

Hot flushes, sleepless nights, mood swings, loss of libido - going through the menopause can be a tough time for women. On top of all that, how do you prevent your training and diet regime from going to hell in a handcart? It’s tough. But in this episode I give you advice on resisting the temptation to beat yourself up, and the mental side of getting into your sneakers, no matter how bad you feel.

Inside all of us there’s a 4-year-old rebel trying to get out - myself included. But a single act of defiance nearly ruined my results when I was shredding for my first bikini show. Luckily I learned from my mistake. Now, I have a simple mantra to ensure I get results, whether I’m shredding, building my butt, improving my life, or succeeding in business. What’s that mantra? Listen to find out. the...

Whenever I launch a new training program I always offer big cash prizes for the people who achieve the greatest transformation. In today’s episode I talk to two winners of one of those competitions. Standby to pick up amazing tips on how to get the very best results from your workouts and nutrition. From how to avoid buying food that will do you no good, to going the extra mile in your workout, th...

This is a question I get asked a lot. Some people like the idea of having everything they eat planned out for them. Other folks are more attracted to the idea of doing it themselves, to favour the foods they like best. But what everybody wants to know is, which system will get you the best results? In this episode, not only do I tell you which system is best for which kind of person, but I give yo...

It took her sister having a baby to make chef Trish Lewis realise she had to do something about her life-threatening obesity (over 370 pounds). She wanted to spend time with her new-born nephew and that wasn’t going to happen unless she took action. She lost 100 pounds in one year. Listening to her today, her crazy, infectious good humour and thirst for life shows how just far Trish has come from...

What do training dogs, bringing up children, and diet fads all have in common? Proof that there are no shortcuts to long-term success. Over the years there’s been no shortage of fashionable diets - Keto, Paleo, Intermittent Fasting, FODMAP - they come, they go, they rarely work in the long-term. And yet we keep trying the latest ones. In today’s show, I reveal the good, the bad, and the WTF of die...

I used to have really bad back pain. And training in the gym, especially squatting, didn’t help at all. But that’s because I was doing it wrong. Years of research and experimentation later, my back is so much better, as is my squatting technique. What’s the secret? It has something to do with imagining you’re sucking a smoothie through a straw using an intimate body part. Let me explain. On with t...

Bear with me for a moment. “Cellulite” was invented by the fashion magazines and beauty product manufacturers in the 1960s. Before then it didn’t have a special name. So nowadays we’re all being misled into spending fortunes on magic creams that claim to “reduce its appearance” and never do. In this episode, I strip away all the lies, all the nonsense, and reveal what cellulite actually is, and wh...

Butt, bum, arse, ass - whatever you call it, few parts of the body cause as much head-scratching and discussion as the rear end. Whether you like it big or small, we all aspire to having firm buttocks. My guest this week is known as The Glute Guy. Bret Contreras was teased at school for his diminutive butt, so he decided that the best revenge was to learn everything there was to know about glutes....

I’m getting asked this question a lot during lockdown. So in this week’s show I clear up some of the myths about how muscles grow, how long they stay toned, when they start to atrophy and what you can do about it. And how you DON'T even need anything as basic as a couple of dumbbells and an exercise band to maintain your muscles when the gyms are closed. Oh, and hear the secret of how my husband g...

My guest this week only eats meat - that’s all. And when I first heard about her I dismissed her as a crazy fool. But when I heard her moving life story, I changed my opinion 180 degrees. This is the story of how Mikhaila - daughter of the famous professor of psychology, Jordan B. Peterson - and I became firm friends, despite fundamental differences in our approach to food.

Anybody who runs the Marathon des Sables - which is 6-day race, run through the Sahara Desert in blistering heat - knows something about ultra-fitness, and is definitely worth a listen. This week, I talk to Brian Keane about his journey from primary school teacher to ultra-athlete and coach, and specifically about the fears he conquered to get there.

They’ve closed your gym. And you’ve got little, or no, equipment at home. So, what now? What’s achievable if, like most of the world at the moment, you’re stuck training at home? Well, you can achieve more than you think. This is a behind the scenes look at how, after four years of professional bodybuilding, and only training in gyms, I took on the challenge of developing a training program that c...
