Happy Monday!!! How’d you weekend go?! After talking to some of the members at my gym this AM, lots of people are doing sober January. Are you on that train? Not a bad train to be on. I love January. It’s gets people so excited for a new start, a new adventure, a new goal. But we can’t forget about the 11 other months in the year that we have the opportunity to kick ass in!
This week on my podcast, I talk about staying motivated in the gym, even past January. This whole health thing isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon…plus some. Even through changes in health, stress, moving, having babies, losing our minds – if we can keep up with the exercise, there will always be some sort of steadiness, some control, some positivity in the midst of all the chaos.
And if you are looking for more workout inspiration, make sure you are following along on instagram because I’m sharing lots of workouts there AND I’ll be sending out a special newsletter soon with bodyweight workouts you can do anywhere!
Now, in the meantime, I’m doing another podcast with reader/listener questions this coming week. So what random questions do you have? They can be related to fitness, food, hygiene, beauty products, relationships, pooping (just kidding, I don’t want to know about your poop), fashion – whatever! I’m excited to record another question podcast so ask away in the comments section below!

Random question (because it’s always fun to hear your responses to the random ones!): If you weren’t a full time lifestyle blogger/coach, what would your career be? Like, literally, anything…astronaut? professional surfer? news anchor? Just a fun one to throw in there! 🙂 love the podcast!
Hey Juli!
First of all, I’m an avid listener/subscriber to your podcast and I look forward to listening every week while taking my nightly walks! I had a question based on a specific goal I’m trying to reach…I’m getting married on March 4th (yay!!!) and have kicked my health and fitness into high gear for the last year and a half. Now that I’m down to the wire, I am most concerned with my arms. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to tone my arms to their best potential in this short amount of time? Is it heavy lifting, light weights/high reps, HIIT? Would also love to know of any suggestions you have to help curve pre-wedding stress!
Thanks so much!!! 🙂
Would you ever consider doing a series on workouts for beginners?!? I would even buy such a series from you….that is how awesome I think you are ????
maybe someday!!
Hi Juli! Here’s my question…When you’re taking some time off from scheduled CF programming, how do you determine your programming for your weekly exercises? Meaning, do you do upper body and lower body split days, or just say f*it and do whatever you feel like doing any given day?
LOVE the new podcast! Thanks! 🙂
Hi, love listening to your podcast!! My question is on packing. How do plan your packing? packing for a long weekend vs. a week? Do you just do carry on or do you check a bag? Going to peurto vallarta in a few weeks and am really trying not to overpack. Any tips or tricks would greatly appreciate!!
Thanks Kelly
Hi! I am obsessed with your podcast. I look forward to it every week. I’m wondering what your favorite “Oh shit! I only have 20 minutes!” workout is? I also love the landmine movements you shared on Insta. I introduced them at my gym 🙂 Thank you!
You are just the best!! Your podcasts are so great! You should listen to the podcast betch slapped! it is made by some of the founders of the website betcheslovethis and they talk about the Bach all the time!! I have a question about your wedding–did you always plan on having a destination wedding or did you plan it short notice? How many people did you have there?! Thanks for being so great! I love the idea of having your favorite people on your podcast!
I know you used to take Barre classes not sure if you still do, but I love it & I was wondering if you had suggestions on getting the most out of it without plateau-ing if that makes sense? I am not the type of person to lift weight to be honest so that’s why I like Barre, but I do wish to build a little more muscle other than just toning which Barre has done amazing things for.
Hey I was hoping you could quickly answer this – what sports bra would you recommend for CrossFit? I used to use the ones from VS but they have since declined rapidly in quality.
Love, love, love your podcasts! I had a question for your upcoming podcast; I’m fashion challenged and really like the outfits you put together. Have you always been good with fashion? How do you create your different outfits? I feel a bit silly asking but like I said, I really am fashion challenged!
