Ashley Grant teases the episode's topic and introduces a voice note from Rylie Teeter, CEO at Teeter, who argues that chasing trends and fast results causes people to lose sight of consistency — and that finding something you love is the key to sticking with fitness.
So you want to know the fastest thing that's going to make you quit working out? I'll tell you. What's up, you guys? Famous Asha Grant here. Welcome to Movement Please, the podcast where I hope to inspire you to move your body more. Today, I have an awesome voice note for you. This one comes to us from Riley Teeter, and this is what she had to say. I'm Riley Teeter, CEO and tier, and if I had one piece of advice for people in their 40s about fitness, it's find something you love, something that's doable, something you can stick to consistently. People start... thinking about fitness, they start doing research, they look for the newest trend, the thing that's going to get them the biggest, fastest results, and they lose focus on what is really important. And that is consistency. If you don't love it, if it's not supportive of your body, you're not going to stick to the program. So trust me, do something you love, do it all the
time, and you will see the biggest results. Y'all, I could not agree with Riley more. It is the very reason that I was so adamant about doing group fitness classes because I feel like that is the only thing that's keeping me motivated and excited to constantly be working out. I have to be working out with other people. That is when I have the most fun, especially when there's damn good music and doing movements that I like to do. That's why I love Zumba so much. It's because I love to shake my ass. I love to hear the music. I love to dance. That's kind of why I like low impact cardio and toning too, is because though it's not dancing, the music is so good.
Ashley agrees with Rylie and explains that group fitness classes — especially Zumba and low-impact cardio — are the only thing keeping her motivated, because she loves dancing, good music, and working out with other people.
And so that's why it's so important that whenever you are trying to get into fitness, you find something that you get excited about that will make you motivated to keep coming to the gym. So that's what I've got for you guys today. I hope this was beneficial to you. If you want to leave a voice note, I would love to hear from you.
