Ever been in the middle of a workout and thought, I'm done, I'm out, I'm going home? You're not alone. In this candid Q&A episode of More Movement, Please, Ashley pulls back the curtain on the real, unglamorous side of staying consistent, including the day she had to walk out of class entirely and couldn't go back.

Ashley tackles three listener questions head-on: what it actually feels like to want to quit mid-workout and what gets her through it, how to tell the difference between a bad day at the gym and a genuinely bad week, and the exact moment fitness stopped being something she was "trying" and became a core part of who she is. Spoiler: it wasn't overnight, and it wasn't magic. It was day 100.

Whether you're brand new to working out or you've been at it for months and just hit a wall, this episode is the honest pep talk you didn't know you needed.

The number one fear people over 60 have isn't death. It's needing help. In this episode, certified health coach and personal trainer Dean Walters of Aging Boldly breaks down why movement is the single most important thing you can do for your body as you age, and why you don't need to become a gym person to do it.

After 30, we all start losing muscle and power if we don't actively fight for it. And for older adults, that loss isn't about how you look. It's about whether you can get off the floor, catch yourself on a curb, carry groceries, or play with your grandkids. Dean shares the three big reasons movement matters most: independence, resilience, and better health markers across the board.

Ashley also gets personal about a recent fall that could have been much worse if she hadn't been consistently moving her body. This is the episode to send to someone you love who hasn't started moving yet.

Dropping pant sizes doesn't automatically fix how you see yourself in the mirror. In this raw Valentine's Day recording, Ashley gets honest about why she still sees her formerly fat self staring back at her, even as her body gets stronger and smaller. She opens up about the unexpected link between getting physically fit and finally being able to face the mental and emotional baggage she'd been hiding from for years. If you've ever felt like your confidence hasn't caught up with your progress, this one's for you. Ashley talks about where her self-love actually comes from right now (hint: it's not the scale), why fitness is unlocking parts of her brain she didn't expect, and why moving your body might be the best Valentine's gift you ever give yourself. Onwards and upwards, friends.
