Behind the Body

Welcome to Behind The Body, the podcast that's like having a personal health and fitness coach, two hilarious (at least they think so) BFFs, and a supportive community all rolled into one. Hosted by Andrea and Anna, Behind The Body is a podcast all about helping women of all ages achieve their health, fitness, and lifestyle goals in a fun, honest, and relatable way. Each episode gives you a refreshing take on health and fitness that's not all protein shakes and chicken breasts. Instead, based on their own unique experiences, Andrea and Anna discuss approaching health and fitness in a realistic and achievable way without sacrificing the things you love.  They'll dive into the real struggles women face when it comes to diet and exercise, how to create healthy habits that will stick, self-perception and confidence, and how to set realistic goals that don't leave you feeling discouraged. They'll cut through all the social media "fitfluencer" and diet trend BS, and you'll get practical tips and advice that actually work, as well as inspiring stories from women who have overcome (or still trying to overcome) their own health and fitness challenges.

The #1 Reason You Aren't Reaching Your Goals (and How to Fix It)

Hey friends! In this week's episode, we get real about excuses - how they impact our lives and fitness journeys, why we make them, and most importantly, how to overcome them. We know excuses are inevitable (we are definitely not immune!), but we share our own personal tactics for not letting excuses win, like being ruthlessly honest with ourselves, making commitments we can't break, and outsourcing what we don't like doing. We also talk about taking baby steps instead of going all in, readjusting your mindset, and understanding that you don't have to be perfect. The key is knowing yourself and where you're at - it's okay if you aren't ready yet! In the comments, let us know what your biggest excuse is and how you plan to overcome it. We can all inspire each other! And don't forget to like and subscribe for more real talk every week.
