Jim Fortin, certified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Master Hypnotist, believes that the key to creating actual, lifelong change is not barreling through with willpower, but instead, using mental development to reshape your habits, attitudes, and even your very identity. If you are ready …
One of Kelly’s deepest fears is that someday she’ll be too old and physically unfit to participate in the activities she’d like to be a part of. The date this episode goes up—August 5—is actually Kelly’s birthday! So you can understand why that particular anxiety might be on her mind. But don’t fret: while you’ll obviously need to prepare more …
Kelly was recently taken aback when a fitness-minded friend of hers said that he considered being part of an accountability group to be “cheating.” In truth, when you mix layered accountability into your routine, it’s not only easier to get what you want out of it but it feels more purposeful as well. Layered accountability will keep you on track …
Kelly is on vacation, and while she is getting in your standard rest and relaxation (plus podcast recording), she’s also making a point of staying active through kayaking. That’s because she knows consistency is key to staying on top of your fitness goals. Even when life gets in the way of our fitness, it’s good to step back and examine …
Kelly has traditionally gone solo with her fitness, training and working out on her own, but after recently speaking to a friend and going through her own cooperative fitness experience, she learned how much better working out could be if you’re surrounded by a supportive community.

She wants you to consider a time—or even times—you set a goal for yourself but ultimately didn’t follow through on it. Why didn’t you? Did you take on too much at once? Or maybe you didn’t truly want to follow …

It’s not necessarily that a new diet or fitness routine is too much. It’s more that pressure we put on ourselves when we commit to something can push us towards overload. With this in mind, …
Kelly’s hosting a Q&A episode for this week, and in fishing for questions she received a lot about consistency—working out consistently, eating well consistently, generally just sticking to a repeatable routine that keeps you active and healthy day in and day out, rather than something we only do sporadically. It’s one thing to throw yourself into a new workout or …
