The Kim Constable Podcast

Many of you know that my trainer for the last 3+ years is world-renowned champion heavyweight bodybuilder Mark Getty. As someone who’s been in the bodybuilding space for over 20 years, he is no stranger to the insane amount of discipline it takes to put on muscle and shred body fat.   Many people think that as long as they show up (to their workouts) and put in a bit of effort, that this is enough to stimulate a change in their bodies. Or they don’t truly understand the number of calories they need for their goals or what true failure feels like in the final reps of your final sets. One of the most shocking things about Mark is his approach to body change. When you look at all of his 275lbs of pure muscle, you’d never guess that he built his body by only going to the gym 4 days a week for 45-minute sessions.   Mark’s approach to training and eating is so shocking that every time I have him as a guest on my podcast, I get hundreds of messages from people whose minds have been blown by listening to him. So, of course, I had to bring him back on for another episode!   Listen in as he dishes everything he knows about building muscle and shredding, how he feels about tracking macros, “deload” weeks, and what he prioritizes in the gym: intensity or volume. He also gets real about anabolic steroids (do you think he takes them?), vitamins, mindset, and whether or not you should even be doing cardio!   Warning: this episode may light a fire under your ass!

Today is THE FINAL DAY (DAY 5) of FIVE bonus podcasts from our incredible 5-Day Shredded Body Challenge we ran last week! The live trainings blew everyone’s socks off - so I decided to bundle them all up into daily podcasts all week long!   Here’s the schedule:   Day 1 - The reason you’ve failed to successfully diet (and keep the fat off) in the past. Without this knowledge, YOU WILL FAIL.   Day 2 - The system that all pro stage athletes use to ensure they are ripped to the bone in record time. (Hardly anyone outside the industry knows this - but now YOU will!)   Day 3 - The exact formula you need to get shredded in record time that is tailored to your body and your goals. These are the secrets bodybuilders have known for years, now yours for the taking.   Day 4 - How to gain complete clarity on what you’re doing now that is SABOTAGING your results (and you probably don’t even know it!). Day 5 (TODAY!) - Create your 4-week shred plan that actually WORKS (this plan is unique to you, and the only way you can fail is NOT to follow it!)

Women weren’t meant to be the primary caretakers of their kids. And yet, most mums nowadays end up that way. To make matters worse, we have the constant societal pressure to reach obnoxious levels of perfectionism...   (Like juggling your career, your family, the non-stop schedules, the homework, the cooking, the cleaning, the midnight feedings...with little to no help! And don’t you even think about sitting your kids down in front of the TV while you take a moment to yourself.)   All of these impossible standards are making mums crazy! They are blaming themselves and feeling like sh*t parents, when the reality is, they weren’t meant to handle all of this alone. This isn’t the way motherhood is supposed to be.   You’ve likely heard the common phrase, “It takes a village…” but where the hell IS the village?   In this episode, I interviewed the lovely Jen Fulwiler—best-selling author, stand up comic, and mum of 6 kids! We dished all about the struggles of modern parenting and how utterly insane expectations are these days. She gave some great tips on how to survive parenting, including how to hire help when you don’t have any money so that you can relieve some of the pressure of being a mum without your village.   I really hope this episode brings you the peace and calmness you deserve in your parenting journey.

The other kids in the village would entertain your kids!”   “If I can just say at the end of my career, that I got a few more moms to stop blaming themselves, to stop thinking that the problem is you, and realize that the problem is that you are living in very unnatural circumstances, then I feel like that’s a success.”

As if these “Ask Kim” LIVE Q&A-style episodes couldn’t get any juicier, here comes the second to the last one, and it doesn’t disappoint!   (I am hosting only one more LIVE “Ask Kim” on my Instagram at 7pm UK | 2pm EDT Sunday, September 5th!)   From banishing “mum tum” to staying on track the day after drinking to how to keep your boobs from withering away (& everything in between), I really let ‘er rip in this episode!   I loved that I got the chance to delve into yet another hot topic in the industry: intermittent fasting (IF)! This diet protocol is so prevalent in so many fitness circles, but how do you know if it’s just another fad or if it’s really the answer to your prayers?   And not only that but what does IF do to your metabolism anyway?   I also discuss menopause and fat loss (be on the lookout for our brand-spankin’ new Menopause program coming out in early 2022!), as well as how to boost your metabolism in the morning and so much more.   Plus, I divulge a bit about our upcoming clothing line (yeah, baby!) Here are today’s questions:   00:30 Did you have any loose skin on your tummy after kids? If so, how did you get rid of it? 9:35 How do you recover from a night of drinking and get back on track? 17:43 How close are you to your clothes [clothing] line being done?   20:30 Thoughts on intermittent fasting for strength? 28:57 What am I supposed to eat to get a fast metabolism in the morning? 31:53 What are your thoughts on body part splits?  37:50 If you train in the morning, would you suggest taking protein powder before or after the workout? 38:43 How do you maintain a natural chest and not lose the girls? 40:07 Any advice for those of us going through menopause?

We are back with another episode of our much-loved Q&A-style podcasts!   (I am hosting a LIVE “Ask Kim” on my Instagram at 7pm UK | 2pm EDT for 4 weeks straight.)   This was another really fun episode, filled to the brim with the juiciest and most popular questions!    In the fitness industry, there are quite a few controversial & popular topics. In the previous episode, I discussed one of them: steroid use amongst bodybuilders (definitely go check that out if you haven’t yet).   In this episode, I tackle another popular one: FAT BURNERS! Not only do I give you the scoop on the two different types of fat burners that are out there, but I also tell you my absolute favorites (including one that isn’t even known to be a fat burner in the traditional sense) and how to take them safely.   I also give you a little-known tip for shuttling more nutrients into the muscles instead of being stored as fat, how to squat for bigger legs, how to know when to increase calories during a build, and soooo much more!    You are really going to love how much I packed into this episode!   Below are today’s questions:   1:00 What is the best cosmetic procedure you have done that you would do again and recommend? 11:20 How much bread do you eat (daily or weekly)? 15:11 During shredding, is it better to do cardio or weights on a day when you only have one hour available? 18:45 Can you discuss fat burners? 32:24 What is your opinion on the pendulum squat?

One set of squats is just not going to cut it.” - Mark Getty   “Never save energy on an exercise. You go to failure on your final set of an exercise!”   “A lot of people want to have the rectus abdominis, the six-pack on the front of the body. But those abs are completely useless in terms of keeping your body healthy. The only thing the rectus abdominis muscles are good for is breathing—they just move your diaphragm in and out.”

I’m back with another special Q&A episode!   Last week, there was so much great feedback on the Q&A-style podcast, that I’ve decided to keep the ball rolling all month long!   For the next 4 weeks, I am hosting a LIVE “Ask Kim” on my Instagram at 7pm UK | 2pm EDT.   What’s even more exciting is that you get behind-the-scenes access to the podcast recording by showing up live to get your questions answered right on the spot!   (So don’t miss it!)   In this juicy episode, I go deep into my business success by sharing how I choose the absolute best employees, my advice for staying consistent when training alone at home, and where my confidence comes from.   I also tackled a hot-button topic in the fitness industry surrounding steroid use in the competition circle (and how I really feel about athletes who use them).   Plus, find out how you can win up to $20,000 cash for Christmas (whaaaat?!)   Below are today’s questions:   3:38 Is the scream at the start of your podcast, you training? 6:15 How do I stay consistent when training alone in a home gym?
