The Real Sassy Fit Girls Podcast

WHAT. A. YEAR. Uff-dah. 2020 has been a year for the record books, fam. It's been up, down, back and forth. For some of us it's been a challenging and trying year, for others it's been a year of massive growth, surrender and introspection. It's one that some of us want to forget and one that none of us will be able to forget.

Inspired by recent events, today we are diving into the concept that fitness is not one size fits all. Actually, health and wellness aren't either!

In today's episode we decided to recap Part 1 from Glennon Doyle's infamous book, Untamed. We are currently reading this book in our virtual personal development book club (link to join the group below for the book club + more) and we thought it would be fun to dish about our takeaways and thoughts. We shared how we feel about the flow and structure of the book, our favorite chapters, and talked about when we "lost our spark" during our childhood among other connections throughout the chapters. We will definitely be doing this for all parts of the book and can't wait to do it again! The Real Sassy Fit Girls Club is officially OPEN.

This week's episode was inspired by our personal experiences lately. We've both been working out less than usual and figured you all could benefit from hearing about our experiences with this and how we handle it mentally. Working out less does NOT mean you won't make progress- sometimes less workouts = more progress. We live in a society that puts being busy on a pedestal and is constantly pushing us to do more and be better. How is this serving you? How is it not serving you? Tune in to find out more!!
