  • 191. Body Dysmorphia: The Struggle No One Talks About + Why It Doesn’t Disappear at Your “Goal Weight”
    A struggle that comes up for pretty much everyone, but isn’t talked about NEARLY enough in this space? Body dysmorphia.Yep, this one hits DEEP, and is so, so real. It shows up in quiet moments, fitting rooms, mirror reflections, and even when you’re crushing your fitness goals. I’ve felt it, my clients feel it, and I KNOW you do too. Most of us are walking around with some version of it, whether we say it out loud or not.This episode was sparked by a conversation with my client Julie (who’s been KILLIN’ IT), and a reel that broke me wide open (the creator is linked below). I realized how often we think we’ll feel “better” when we reach our goal, but even then, we still pick ourselves apart. Even after we have incredible, life-changing results on our fitness journeys, we’re STILL our biggest critics. Body dysmorphia doesn’t *magically* go away, just because you fit into a smaller pair of jeans.If you’ve ever reached a goal, only to find new insecurities waiting for you, this episode is for you. You’re not broken, and you’re definitely NOT alone!!In this episode, we cover:Why unf*cking your fitness goes way beyond macros & workoutsHow social media feeds body image struggles Julie’s powerful transformation + why she’s still her own worst criticWhy always wanting to “do more” in fitness, parenting, or life isn’t a bad thingWhy body dysmorphia can actually get worse, the fitter you getPractical ways to combat body dysmorphia on your journeyUnderstanding that reaching your “goal body” isn’t the finish line, because you’ve got to maintain itWhy compliments are rare (especially IRL) + why you don’t need themThe real flex of building self-confidence, self-love, and owning your imperfectionsLinks/Resources:Follow @mattyq.fitness on InstagramJoin IT GIRL Community Membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

  • 190. Building Strength: Lifting Heavy in a Way That Works for YOU
    If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how much weight you should be lifting, or comparing your numbers to someone else’s, you’re NOT alone.This is something I get asked about pretty often! Honestly…the obsession with numbers can completely derail the whole point of your workout.Here’s the truth: lifting heavy is relative. There’s no magic number that determines whether you’re doing it “right.” What matters is your EFFORT! Lifting heavy means lifting a weight that challenges you - based on your strength, experience, and energy level that day. It’s about showing up with intensity, and moving with intention!Progressive overload is a helpful concept, but…it’s also kind of gotten out of hand. You don’t always need to be adding weight to your lifts every.single.week. Progress looks sooo different for everyone!This episode is your permission slip to let go of the noise, stop overthinking it, and just start with what actually works for YOU on your fitness journey!!In this episode, we cover:Why it’s time to stop obsessing over the numbers & start focusing on showing up with intentionWhat “lifting heavy” really means + why consistent muscle tension is the goalThe power of experimenting and adjusting as you goHow embracing imperfection can lead to more sustainable strength gainsLinks/Resources:Ep. 185 | Moving Vs.

  • 188. Fitness Without the “Fluff”: How to Simplify and See Real Progress on Your Fitness Journey
    Let’s be honest: most of you are out here doing WAY too much of what doesn’t matter - especially when it comes to fitness. You’re consuming alllll the content, chasing new & shiny workouts, and trying to “fix” the weekend by starting over every freaking Monday. You’re obsessing over fat burners and the “perfect” macros, but honestly, where the hell is it REALLY getting you?! Here’s the deal - more isn’t better. Doing “more” will only lead you to burnout, paralysis, and like you’re never enough. Better means focusing on what *actually* moves the needle: progressive strength training, walking daily, hitting your protein, managing stress, and creating routines that fit YOUR actual life. I knooow this isn’t sexy or flashy, but this is what WORKS.You don’t need more noise. You need clarity, simplicity, and you need to get laser-focused on doing the stuff that truly MATTERS on your fitness journey. Figuring this out can be a game-changer for you this summer, AND for the long-term!!In this episode, we cover:Why doing MORE isn’t always better + what to focus on insteadThe common trap that keeps many of us “stuck” in overwhelmWhat doesn’t actually move the needle on your fitness journeyHabits & routines that DO make a difference on your fitness journeyHow to audit your OWN fitness routine so you can simplify & get resultsLinks/Resources:Join IT GIRL Community Membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

  • 187. Redefining Fitness on YOUR Terms: What Does It Actually Mean to You?
    In today’s episode, I want you to get crystal clear on what fitness ACTUALLY means to you.I’m not talking about what your Instagram feed is telling you, or what your old Beachbody program claimed it should be. If you’re serious about unf*cking your fitness, this is the first step - you can’t skip it!I used to think fitness meant burning the most calories, chasing a smaller body, and hating my workouts. For years, I had ZERO clue what I was doing, because I was following someone else’s definition of what I thought I “should” be doing.Now? Fitness for me means feeling STRONG over being skinny. It means knowing when to rest without guilt, and having the clarity and confidence to listen to my body!Think about - what does being “fit” feel like for you, and what do you want your body to be able to do? What BS beliefs are you still holding onto about what fitness should be?You don’t need to follow my routine, or what you see some influencer doing. Your goals and your season of life is what matters, and YOU are in control of your journey!This episode is your permission slip to stop following the outdated fitness “rules” that don’t serve you, and redefine fitness on YOUR terms!In this episode, we cover:Being mindful of the fitness content you consume + making sure it aligns with youHow my definition of fitness has evolved over timeWhy confidence is a total game-changer on your journeyJournal prompts to help you define fitness on YOUR termsWhy fitness isn’t a “look”, but a FEELING that’s all yoursHow this ties into body recomp & sustainable resultsRedefining fitness for your current season + giving yourself permission to pivotLinks/Resources:Join IT GIRL Community Membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
