The Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast

It’s been a bit since I’ve talked about it, but today’s episode is going to cover a topic that is very important to me: mental health. I’ve been on my own mental health journey over the last few years, and I’ve learned just how closely related it is to your physical health. I’ve been going to therapy for awhile now, and I’ve also been on medication - we all go through shit, and we MUST be able to...

I’m excited to talk all things fat loss in this episode, and really, what it looks like for you to enjoy your favorite foods, treats, and drinks, while living your best life! We often get stuck in the ‘all or nothing’ mindset that comes with following a certain diet. When we lose weight with said diet, we think it’s somehow magical, when in reality, it’s simply because we’re cutting out certain fo...

I want to kick off today’s episode by sharing some exciting news - this podcast recently hit 500k downloads, which is a HUGE milestone for me as a podcaster! I really want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for being here (whether this is your first time, or you're a long time listener). I absolutely LOVE getting to show up and connect with you in this way, and I’m very happy my message...

Today’s episode is covering kind of an ‘unsexy’ topic, but it’s something that is crucial for anyone on a fitness journey. When it comes to the workouts that you’re doing, your specific fitness training MATTERS. I have ladies come to me all of the time, sharing that they feel like they’re working out and doing everything they ‘should’ be doing, but they don’t see (or feel) the results they’re desi...

You’ve probably heard the saying ‘old habits die hard’; this has been a common theme among many of my clients lately as they’re navigating their fitness journeys and implementing new habits. This probably WILL feel hard at first, because changing your habits (even if you’re excited to do so), is never a smooth or easy process. This doesn’t mean you should give up on being able to successfully do s...

Summer is officially here - it’s my favorite time of year! It’s also a time that seems to throw so many of us off track with our health and fitness goals, so it’s something that I’m regularly talking about with my clients. I know our schedules are different and extra ‘stuff’ is often crammed in during Summer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn to adapt along the way. Whether it’s the literal cha...

Today’s episode is all about supplements - those trusty aids that really can positively impact your fitness journey! Honestly, the majority of supplements I currently use I have been for awhile. I’m a creature of habit and don’t change up my routine too often..especially if I’m using something and it’s working well for me. I want to share more about my top picks for supplements (like why they’re a...

In today’s episode, I’m diving into 3 popular health trends that I’m frequently asked about - juicing, detoxing, and intuitive eating! With all of the Summer vacations, holidays, barbecues, and more happening this time of year, it seems that many of you think that juicing and detoxing are the best ways to help you reset and ‘get back on track’ after indulging a little too much. They’re almost like...

In today’s episode, I want to dig into a topic that has been coming up a lot in conversations I’ve been having with sooo many ladies lately: the unnecessary pressure and judgment from others regarding your nutrition and fitness choices. This is something that fires me UP; I’ve dealt with this often myself throughout my fitness journey, so you better believe this one is going to be spicy! Unfortuna...

I’m fresh from celebrating my 43rd birthday + my daughter's graduation and party; honestly, there were sooo many celebrations during the month of May! It has been a LOT, and I’m finally coming down from the ‘high’ of all of it. Even with everything that’s been going on in my world lately, I’ve learned that it’s STILL possible to make progress toward (or at the very least, maintain) your fitne...

Today is a pretty special day - it’s my 43rd birthday!! After a pretty fun (but also VERY chaotic) last couple of weeks celebrating my daughter’s high school graduation and grad party, I hope to be somewhere relaxing, and enjoying some peace and quiet on my birthday. You could say life has been pretty overwhelming for me lately, and I’ve been hearing that from many of my clients and other ladies a...

I don’t know about you, but the month of May has been pretty crazy, and has flown by! Between Mother’s Day, my wedding anniversary, my birthday, and other special occasions (like my daughter's high school graduation), it’s a fun month I always look forward to. I also know this can be a challenging time of year as kids are finishing up school, and everyone is transitioning to summer..which als...

Today’s episode topic isn’t necessarily groundbreaking information, or anything you’ve never heard before, but..it’s pretty damn important! When it comes to your health and fitness, intentionality is KEY. While it’s a pretty basic concept, too often, we ‘unintentionally’ drift into unhealthy habits (or habits we weren't setting out to create). We don’t usually realize this has happened, but i...

Today’s episode is covering a VERY requested topic I’ve gotten lately - the smart scale! I personally use the RENPHO Smart Scale, and I absolutely love it! I highly encourage my clients to get a smart scale, because it tracks SO much more than a typical scale that just gives you your body weight. The smart scale provides some pretty fascinating data when it comes to health metrics, but I promise t...

I’ve been noticing a common theme when working with my clients lately - it’s also something that I’ve experienced myself, and have come to realize I’m really good at doing.  The ability to be able to pivot, and really embrace more flexibility on my fitness journey in a way that feels authentic to me has helped me SO much - it’s kind of my specialty. I’ve been at this for over 15 years now, so you...

Have you ever felt like the scale is basically your worst enemy when it comes to your health and fitness?? I hear often from the ladies I work with that they’re either weighing themselves daily and are super fixated on the results, or they’re never stepping foot on the scale and want to steer clear of it all together. Either way, the scale still seems to control SO much of how we feel about oursel...

I will say this forever....consistency is the key to getting the healthy, fit body you want. Patience plays a big part as well. I started my Spring cut a few weeks ago and it has been a SLOW progress. In years past I would have gotten very discouraged and went to drastic measures to lose a few pounds. This year I am proud of my mindset and ability to show up despite not seeing changes on the scale...

Whether you are just curious about my journey from hairstylist to Beachbody coach to full time personal trainer or if you would like to help others in the fitness field, this podcast is a little sample of what my timeline and career journey looks like. It was hard to decide which parts to share and what would best help you understand my journey the most... so in true Kristy fashion I share a littl...

The entire point of unf*cking your fitness is to think about things differently, in a way that actually works, so you can stop the diet cycle you are stuck in. Do you "burn off" calories you've eaten? Do you do extra cardio so you can eat more? Earn your food? Do you obsess over macros and calories? I used to do those things too! The good news is you can redefine your relationship w...

This episode is a great conversation about how to approach the topic of health and fitness with your kids. I get asked about this commonly and I feel like I can't give that advice since I don't know your kids. So instead, lets have a conversation about things to take into consideration when deciding how you want to handle to topic of food in your home. I started lifting weights (little w...

This episode is full of tough love and truth bombs! I think you will really enjoy and appreciate my thoughts on this topic "No one is coming to save you." You will walk away feeling motivated! You have to take control. That is a scary thing to hear when you don't know what steps to take and don't have the confidence it takes to get sh*t done. I know, I've been there. I get...

Carbs have been demonized for far too long, and it's time to set the record straight. We have made so much progress in the health and fitness space with weight lifting and overall treating our bodies better... but the fear of carbs is still alive and well and it needs to stop. I would love to help you realize you can have a healthy mindset around carbs and that YOU can be in control. Carbs co...

I have felt bombarded on social media lately with ads of products promising to improve my face, my body, my digestion, my sleep (and just about everything else... and honestly... I'm sick of it. It makes me feel like I can't get away from the pressure of buying something or looking a certain way.  Social media in general has become overwhelming lately and the constant feeling of needing...

Every season in my 15 year fitness journey has been a lesson in determination and grit...a test to see if I would quit or keep going! This current season is proving to be the same. This episode is about my current personal struggles as well as my mindset to get through it. There is always something that could be in our way if we let it... life, family, health issues, self sabotage. There are alway...

The title pretty much says it all! "THIS SH*T IS NOT OPTIONAL". I see so many people approaching health and fitness with an optional mentality...  When it's gets hard, you quit.  When it's time consuming, you quit When it feels uncomfortable, you quit When you are not motivated, you quit If it "doesn't work for you", you quit A lot of things in life are not optio...
