I launched More Movement Please on October 22, 2025, the day after I hit 100 days of consistent fitness, to inspire people to actually get moving! The podcast chronicles my journey from barely surviving 15 minutes of Zumba to crushing multiple classes daily and lifting weights I never imagined possible. Most episodes are quick 5-10 minute gym musings with real talk about staying committed, hydration, accountability, and making fitness a lifestyle instead of another failed resolution. This isn’t just another fitness podcast though. My goal is to build a supportive community and create an actual movement of movement where we choose ourselves, prove fitness can be fun, and help each other stay committed to our health!
