Is Meal Prep worth the effort - Ep 1

In today’s podcast, we talk about some habits that we’ve already incorporated into our lives and also some that we plan on adding into our daily lives to continue improving ourselves and our lives. Anthony mentions some health and fitness habits that have helped him like tracking calories and macros, meal prepping, morning workouts and drinking a gallon of water. I talk about how budgeting has helped my financial status and also helped increase my credit score. I also talk about how intermittent fasting helped me reach my fitness goals a lot quicker and that I want to incorporate it back into my daily life. We also mention some habits that we want to start incorporating into our daily lives such as meditating, journaling, reading, getting more sleep and revisiting our passions, like painting.

Habits that changed our lives Ep 9

In this week’s podcast, we talk about misconceptions in the fitness industry surrounding cardio and weight training. We started off by mentioning some clear benefits of weight training versus cardio, which are that: metabolism stays elevated for up to 38 hours, better for building muscle, ability to reshape your body and it’s more sustainable and fun to do. We mention the misconception of women that lift heavy weights will get bulky. We explain our experience of sticking to the cardio machines and being afraid to lift weights at the beginning of our journey because of this myth. We also mention the misconception of women’s body image issues and the myth of being thinner versus curvier is healthier and more accepted in society. Nowadays, social media has slowly begun to fix this issue and has elevated and put much curvier, plus size women in the forefront of ads and made it more appealing to have curves. Please rate our podcast and leave some comments on if you enjoyed this podcast. As always, thanks for your support!
