In this episode, we chat about how women in their 30s and beyond can start incorporating weight training into their fitness routines. I emphasize the importance of analyzing one's current life circumstances and goals to guide your training. I also highlight the significance of having a growth mindset and overcoming gymtimidation. What I recommend to get started: Having a plan, considering the gym layout, and starting with beginner-friendly exercises for the squat, hinge, upper body push, upper body pull, and core. We cover all this in detail and more on this episode!

I knoowwww how frustrating it can be to be working so hard in the gym and have very little to show for it. You feel like you’re doing all of the right things and nothing…

I created this episode specifically for you if you’re currently struggling to see some tangible results from your workouts. These two reasons can be a game-changer for your fitness progress moving forward, so be sure to tune in!

Time Stamps

Main Topic: Two Major Roadblocks to Progress in Lifting (04:49 - 15:43)

Lack of Progression (04:49 - 11:11)

So, let's get into the nitty-gritty. One of the biggest reasons you might not be seeing the results you want in your lifting sessions is the lack of progression.

Trust me; it doesn't have to be massive leaps. It's about making small improvements over time. Having a structured training plan can help you track this effectively.

Whether it's increasing weights, reps, or refining your form, it's all part of the progression game.

Inconsistency (11:11 - 15:43)

Now, the other major roadblock is inconsistency. Consistency is king in achieving your fitness goals.

If you're not consistently showing up at the gym, especially for strength or physique goals, you're unlikely to see the results you desire.

Be honest with yourself about your commitment to your goals.

Personal Experience and Closing (15:43 - 19:24)

Speaking from my own experience, consistency and progressive overload were game-changers. That's when I started seeing serious changes in my physique and strength.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this, so feel free to share them.

Closing Remarks (19:24 - End)

I’m excited to share this mindfulness conversation I had with Licensed Professional Counselor and best friend of many years, Nipa Desai. Mental health plays a huge role in our holistic wellness and the conversation is very fitting for May, Mental Health Awareness Month. 

Nipa’s goal as an LPC is to help her clients become the best versions of themselves by managing their emotions and living a values-driven life. She practices a holistic, strengths-based, and eclectic approach to mental health. 

Nipa utilizes different treatment modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) while individualizing interventions based on identity and cultural backgrounds. 

During our convo, we discuss what mindfulness is, how it can help you process your thoughts and emotions, how mindfulness can lead to a more meaningful life, how to start using mindfulness today, and more.
Nipa just opened up a private virtual practice in Pennsylvania and is accepting new clients. She is also available for follow-up questions. Please visit her website at www.alignmindtherapy.com or email her directly at info@alignmindtherapy.com.

I'm sure you've seen the trainers and fitness influencers on IG or social media doing the absolute most in their exercise videos.  They string a bunch of different exercises together or create a really complicated sequence that most would have a lot of difficulty completing...

Well, in today's episode, I'm exposing them ALL! Just kidding... kind of. What I do talk about is mastering the basics when it comes to training and what that entails. We talk about:

  • How these fabulous trainers and influencers ( I mean it, they're fabulous and probably well-intentioned) more than likely don't train this way on a regular basis.
  • How to get real results from your strength training-based program
  • What types of movements to include in a well-rounded strength-training program
  • How periodization works on a basic level
  • How to structure your workouts to get the most out of your training

We are taking a break from nutrition this week (if you haven’t been tuning in, we took a deep dive into nutrition over the last 8 episodes of the show!), and talking about a very important concept in fitness called the minimum effective dose.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How I learned the hard way that the “go hard or go home” mentality does not work long term and why it’s more harmful than productive
  • Why beating yourself up in your workouts is not a requirement to get results
  • What the minimum effective dose is and ways to use it to your advantage
  • What it looks like to build a more sustainable approach to fitness that serves you for years to come
  • Why prioritizing recovery will help you get closer to your goals

Your action items from this episode:

  • Simplify your training sessions by building a plan that works for YOU and is aligned with your goals and lifestyle
  • Grab my FREE Train like a Pro Cheatsheet to help you build that plan by clicking here
  • Incorporate lower-intensity movement into your daily life. Walking, yoga, leisure bike rides, hiking, etc…
  • Align your nutrition with your fitness goals and let them work hand in hand (visit the previous 8 episodes for more guidance on this!)
  • Prioritize recovery. Build it into your program to better adapt to your training and look, move, and feel your best!

Thank you so much for tuning in! Please be sure to subscribe for more episodes just like this. If you're really loving the podcast, please leave a rating and review! I truly appreciate your support. <3

  • Consuming fat-The biggest contributor to your overall health
  • How much of each type of fat to consume
  • What fats to avoid

I’ve created you a Fat Facts PDF guide to reference everything we talk about today so that you can start putting this nutrition knowledge to good use!

As a reminder your action items from this episode are:

  1. Download the Fat Facts PDF
  2. Audit your current fat consumption. The types of fats you’re eating, how much, and how many. Just become aware of it, no need to change anything right away!

We're rewinding back to an episode I did a little over a year ago where I talk about what to do if you have zero motivation to exercise. This is definitely an episode worth revisiting!

This is one of my favorite questions to address and topics to talk about. In this episode, we dive into:

  • Why motivation is unreliable and what to focus on instead
  • Digging deep and finding a meaningful reason for exercising
  • Why it's okay to half-ass and even skip workouts (occasionally)
  • How change requires action

I will talk about consistency as it relates to fitness (or any goal) until the day I die! Sounds dramatic, but I’ve seen amazing things happen with my clients and in my own fitness journey when we keep showing up for ourselves. You deserve to see your fitness goals through as well.

2021 has arrived, and so has the flood of fitness marketing ads pushing their 21 day detoxes, 90 day shreds, and fitness plans to "get in the best shape of your life." It's like Ground Hog's day every January with the fitness industry. 

In this episode, I bring up my issues with the fitness industry and its problematic marketing messages, why it's definitely okay not to focus on your fitness going into 2021 (or any year, but especially this year as we live through a Pandemic and insurrection..WTF..), and some advice for being successful in your fitness journey long term.

Are you struggling to get started with exercise or stay consistent with it?

In this episode I cover:

  • Rethinking your time and priorities
  • Flipping your mindset around exercise
  • Ideas for how to get going with confidence
  • Whether or not seeking medical advice may be a good idea

This is all tied to the 3 biggest hurdles I cover on the episode!

I was so happy to sit down and talk with my battle buddy (a dear friend in the Army) Yvette Zabala! Yvette is an Active Duty Army Sergeant currently stationed in Maryland. She is also a certified Crossfit, USAW Sports Performance Coach, and Personal Trainer, an amazing chef, a mom of three, and an overall badass of a woman. 

Yvette and I talk about how we met in military training, kept each other sane while living the barracks lifestyle, and how we bonded over fitness. She shares her own unique fitness journey and past struggles with an eating disorder and difficult pregnancies. We also discuss the importance of accountability in fitness and our stances on coaching/ coaching philosophies. I really enjoyed having this conversation, and I hope you enjoy it too! 

Follow Yvette over on IG @my_saucy_life for some everyday training insights, takeaways, and motivation! If you're looking for a Maryland based fitness trainer, Yvette is your woman!

Nutrition is just one of those things we're mostly left to figure out on our own as adults. At least that was the reality for me.  This week, we discuss macronutrients and what they do for you, but we also get more practical and talk about how to make sure you're getting adequate amounts of each macronutrient in your diet using a very simple method. 

I cover: 

  • protein, carbs, fats (what they do in the body)
  • The hand measurement portion control method (really easy to do!)

Grab your free portion control guide over at brieogletree.com. This guide is basically what I cover in today's episode in written form for you to reference! Sign up for the newsletter and it's yours.

I'm sure you've seen the trainers and fitness influencers on IG or social media doing the absolute most in their exercise videos. They string a bunch of different exercises together or create a really complicated sequence that most would have a lot of difficulties completing...

Well, in today's episode, I'm exposing them ALL! Just kidding... kind of. What I do talk about is mastering the basics when it comes to training and what that entails. We talk about:

  • How these fabulous trainers and influencers ( I mean it, they're fabulous and probably well-intentioned) more than likely don't train this way on a regular basis.
  • How to get real results from your strength training based program
  • What types of movements to include in a well-rounded strength-training program
  • How periodization works on a basic level
  • How to structure your workouts to get the most out of your training

Enjoy! And be sure to share this episode with your friends if you find it helpful!

I feel like this topic often gets glossed over in the fitness industry, but it's a big one! Our thoughts and beliefs shape so much of who we are and what we think we're capable of. In this episode, we dissect how to start shifting your beliefs to get closer to your fitness/ nutrition/ wellness goals. We discuss how real change starts in the mind, how awareness of your current belief systems is the first step, how to start questioning your current belief systems, and how to ask better questions to get you closer to where you want to go. Tune in and listen to learn how!

What belief around fitness/ nutrition/ wellness (or anything else) are you currently working on shifting? Shoot me a DM on Insta and let me know! https://instagram.com/brieogletree

Welcome to the very first episode of the Intuitive Strength Podcast! I’m so excited to have weekly discussions with you around fitness, nutrition, and all things holistic wellness! 

In this episode, I share my plans for the podcast, but I also share my own fitness journey. I talk about my struggles with body image, yo-yo dieting, and my relationship with food and exercise. My journey is why I became a fitness coach! I'm hoping my story can help other women break the vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting and wrapping their self-worth in their bodies.  We are so much more than our bodies.
