Hello Knotty Ladies! If you're anything like me then you probably started singing right along with this title. Although I am not a big fan of the movies that made this song popular, I do however love to watch my boys dancing to it...so friggin cute!

I digress. So, a new episode and this one is about my journey through many, many different types of fitness modalities and how they started out as healthy ways to move my body then turned into wicked tools to turn good habits into unhealthy ways to try and control myself and my life. From counting calories, to competing tirelessly with myself and others to being ruled by the scale, I have fell victim to it all. In the end, I have realized that it's important to remember that:

• Workouts are not one size fits all for everyone.
• Don't frickin' run on the treadmill if you hate it just because so and so, whether a person, brand, Instagram influencer or otherwise, tells you it's the best way to get abs, burn calories etc.
• Try it all out and see what you love and...Do. That. Thing!! 
• Even my kids know that 5 is more than 0 so if you only have five minutes, then do the dang thing rather than poo pooing it because it's not your usually half hour, hour etc.
• Know that workouts ebb and flow with our lives and it's okay to change it up, slow down, take a break and most of all...listen to your body...XO!
• Below are links to the two workout programs I am currently doing. If you want a free two week trial at Obe, let me know and I'll hook you up! I believe The Sculpt Society is doing a free 14 day trial on their site right now woot woot!

This episode is a much longer one than all the rest but it really has some great tidbits in it that couldn't be crunched into the usual 20 minutes. So bear with me, I think you'll like it. I get pretty pumped about this subject! 

P.S. It pairs well with Episode 8 on Birthdays & Body Image but you don't have to listen to that one to get the gist of this one. But really, you should listen to it as well...shameless plug:)

Please listen, review and share! Thank you so much! EnJOY!
