Inspire Fitness

Today we’re talking about one of the biggest predictors of fitness success for women over 40… community.Inspired by one of my favorite James Clear quotes - “One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where your desired behavior is normal” - this episode explores why the people you surround yourself with matter just as much as the workouts you do.Inside Inspire Fitness, hundreds of women show up for themselves every day. Different ages, different lifestyles, different responsibilities… but the same mission: to be strong, confident, and healthy. And when you plug into a community where prioritizing your fitness is the norm, consistency stops feeling so hard. You feel supported. You feel encouraged. You realize you’re not alone.In this conversation, I’m breaking down why community accelerates your progress, why engagement matters (yes, even posting that sweaty selfie!), and why the holiday season is the worst time to go it alone.If you’re craving accountability, motivation, and a group of women who will lift you higher- in every way I’d love to welcome you into the Holiday Bootcamp. Workouts begin Monday and the community opens Friday… and trust me, being surrounded by women who are moving with you will change everything.Let’s talk about the power of showing up together.“You become the strongest version of yourself when you surround yourself with people who lift you higher.” UnknownIf you are new here, I welcome you to join us in the Holiday Bootcamp! We are kicking off the week of November 17.

This week, I’m getting personal. Back in January, I made a commitment to get outside for a walk every single day  in the month of January- even through Michigan’s cold, dark and generally unenjoyable winter. What started as a month long challenge quickly turned into an almost year long habit… and eventually, part of my identity.In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about discipline, discomfort, and how real change happens - not overnight, but through small, consistent actions that reshape who we become.Whether you’re working on your fitness, nutrition, or mindset, this one will remind you that the hardest part is starting  -but the most rewarding part is who you become when you keep going.Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d
