This motivation is a reminder that even only doing “a little” adds up, especially if each of us just did “a little”.

Doing Nothing - MWM#230

Regular exercise is one of the pillars for long lasting health. Your everyday diet is also one of the main contributing factors of a healthy lifestyle. But what happens if you only focus on exercising in hopes that it will be enough to stay healthy and omit taking into consideration the foods that may be healthier for you over time?

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Why we wanted to shed light on this topic and how it affects what we are seeing in the news and on social media about new weight loss drugs, exercise fads and influencer fitness marketing.

2). How you can't assume someone's overall health and metabolism just by appearance alone. "Looking" like your in shape and healthy doesn't necessarily mean that you are.

3). Why it's important to learn about your ideal health not specifically in numbers (calories, steps, weight etc).

4). How one person's idea of what "healthy" is differs from others and how to find out what is the best definition of "healthy" for your body.

5). Why it's important to know that eating un-healthy meals and trying to over exercise to make up for it is not a good way of maintaining your overall health.

We hope the tips and information in this episode helps you or someone you know who may have trouble balancing exercise and diet. It's not always easy to manage a busy exercise schedule and stay on top of what goes into your body each week but it's important to know how both depend on each other for the best health results. Enjoying a "balanced" diet throughout the week along with regular exercise can make all the difference for a longer lasting active life.

Gratification - MWM#264

Ageism occurs far too often in society in many factors of life. Ageism is defined as “prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s age.” As our population gets older, this kind of problem is becoming more apparent especially in the fitness industry. Judging one’s abilities based on just their age can have a negative affect mentally and emotionally.

Fortunately there are positive and productive ways to address issues with ageism which can help society realize that all people have value regardless of age.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Why we thought this issue was important to discuss and how ageism in the fitness industry (and other industries) is affecting older individuals.

2). How being an older worker in a competitive job market can be difficult because of the stereotypes against older workers and the false ideologies of not being effective and not being able to learn new skills.

3). How experiencing ageism can affect you mentally and emotionally.

4). How assuming someone’s level of fitness based on their age can be a misstep to proper training.

5). Some of Meredith’s best tips on handling ageism and how to change this mentality in the fitness and all industries.
