35. Be a Great Human and The Rest Will Follow
This week has been an incredible reminder of the AMAZING humans I have in my corner! My friends, my family, my clammies - everyone around me has taught me so much about what it means to be a good human. I think we can all use an occasional reminder on ways we can be a brighter light in people’s lives, so in this episode, I’m sharing those lessons with you!

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
It doesn’t take much to make someone’s day. It’s truly the small things that people remember about you!
Challenge yourself to go a whole day without saying anything negative about yourself - or anyone else. We’ve all enjoyed a little gossip here and there, but it will absolutely change your mindset to intentionally avoid it.
Every morning you wake up and put your feet on the ground, say a word of gratitude to yourself. No day is guaranteed, and practicing gratitude affects how you treat yourself and the people around you.

34. My Biggest Pet Peeves + How to Communicate Yours
We all have pet peeves. As a matter of fact, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have them - everyone has something that makes them tick! In this episode, I’m sharing some of my biggest peeves and my philosophy on how being open and transparent about your pet peeves in your relationships would actually help avoid a lot of unnecessary tension.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
It’s completely normal and human to have pet peeves. I actually think we could have more conflict-free relationships if we politely share our pet peeves with the people we’re closest with and be mindful of theirs as well.
Remember that if someone is demonstrating one of your pet peeves, they’re probably not doing it on purpose. Give them some grace and decide whether it’s worth it to say something to them about it. If they’re a stranger to you, maybe let it go.
If you are doing something that’s someone else’s pet peeve, and that person is important to you, do your best to hear them out and correct the behavior.

33. The Epiphany I Had About My Body
If you are struggling with the way your body looks and feels today, this is the episode for you! This is something that absolutely all of us experience throughout our lives, and I’m sharing a recent epiphany I had about my changing body and learning to accept it exactly as it is. Your body is AMAZING and hopefully this episode is exactly the pep talk you need to treat yourself with more love today!

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
If you’re aspiring to get back into the best physique you ever had, think about how you felt during that time in your life. You might have looked “the best” in your own eyes, but were you happiest during that time? That’s what truly matters.
It’s natural for our bodies to change based on our age, hormones, and the season of life we’re in. As long as you are doing your best to take care of your body, it’s important to celebrate it no matter how it looks!
Meet your body where it is, not where you want it to be. If you’re injured, or sore, or unable to do certain moves in a workout, modify as needed and give yourself grace! Life is too short to waste any time being unkind to yourself!

32. Someone Made Me Feel Small… Here’s How I’m Building Myself Back Up!
Have you ever had an experience where someone belittled you or tried to dull your sparkle? I’ve been there - just a couple weekends ago, a woman made me feel small, and in this episode I’m unpacking what went through my mind and what I’ve been focusing on to build myself back up. I’m going to talk about leveling up, taking control of your emotions, and more tools for self assurance in this episode!

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
Sometimes you just feel it in your gut when it times to level up a certain area of your life. Maybe it’s your career, or your workout routine. Whatever it is for you, make a plan of what your next level dream looks like, and get after it!
You’re not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, and that is okay! Release yourself of the pressure to make every single person like you. It’s not possible, so focus on the people who love the most authentic version of you, just as you are.
Take responsibility for your emotions, and let other people take responsibility for theirs. Yes, it feels super crappy when other people are mean to you, but you still have the power to keep yourself in a positive headspace.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
The 2023 Masters Tournament is this week! This tournament means so much to me as a professional golfer, and I love that this tournament is beloved even to people who don’t regularly play or watch golf tournaments.
If you’re on any sort of travel adventure, really lean into the experience. Try new things, be fully present with the friends and family you’re traveling with, and find fun new ways to get your workout in.
When you build strength, you build confidence. Think about how your attitude, posture, and mood changes after a great workout! Just an hour a day will make the other 23 hours so much better!

30. Q&A with My Mom! Talking Motherhood, Body Image, Legacy, and Finding the Fun Everywhere You Can
My mom just turned 70 years old, but she is giving us a gift! She is the first guest ever on the podcast this week! In this episode, I’m asking her all the questions about motherhood, learning to love her body, staying young as we age, and more life lessons. I loved having this conversation with my mom, and I hope you love it, too!

Just a few of the gems from this episode include:
If there's a habit you want to maintain forever, find a way to make it fun! For my mom, that’s dancing. She’s danced her whole life because it makes her feel vibrant and beautiful and energized. Find what that is for you and stick with it!
It’s so important to teach your children the meaning of discipline. However, that is different from criticizing your children, which is something to steer away from if you want to build a strong relationship with them into adulthood.
What’s your legacy? For my mom, it’s wanting to stay active for her kids and grandkids, and that intention and commitment to her health is absolutely leaving a legacy of wellness and vibrance for her family.

29. What’s Your Subjective Age? Getting Older But Feeling Younger Than Ever!
My family is currently celebrating my mom’s 70th birthday, and this amazing woman is proof that age is just a number! In this episode, I’m talking about our “subjective” age and how the age we “feel” we are can literally impact how our body functions. By taking care of your body and overall health, you can still feel youthful, vibrant, and energetic… no matter how old you are.

Article: Relationship between subjective age and frailty
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
My mom instilled in me from a young age the value of taking care of our bodies and staying active! She just turned 70, and she does my BBT workouts, yoga, and even pickleball.
We have three ages: chronological age, mental age, and physical age. Chronological age is our literal age according to our birthday, our mental age is how mature a person feels, and physical age is how old someone feels in their body.
Studies show that your “subjective age,” which is how old you feel, has an impact on your overall health including your cognitive function, organ health, and behavior. If you feel younger than your actual age, your brain and body reflect that.

28. Feel Cute or Die Trying | How to Feel Good About Yourself, No Matter How Your Body Looks
Have you ever looked back on old photos of yourself and thought “damn, I looked cute!,” and then remembered how hard you were on your appearance then? This episode is all about ending that cycle, building confidence, and practicing self love! This is not an overnight fix, and it is something we will probably need to work on forever, but we are absolutely worth all the love we can possibly give ourselves!

Some key takeaways on loving yourself better:
When you need a reset, go back to simple pleasures. I rode a bike outside for two hours in my favorite place - Hilton Head Island - and it reminded me of childhood memories of being fully present and worry-free outdoors.
Every single part of you is a blessing, just as it is, right in this moment. We can be so unbelievably hard on ourselves that we forget how freaking cute we are exactly as we are, and we deserve to feel good in our skin!
Do your best to feel better about yourself in the moment. We take for granted the little things - like being able to taste, chew, and swallow delicious food - when we can practice gratitude, dress ourselves well, and take care of ourselves instead.

27. Processing My Feelings About the Dancing With the Stars Results | Part 2
Alright, y’all… It's time to talk about the results from Dancing with the Stars. If you don’t know already, I did not place in the competition. Even if you’ve never participated in a big competition like this, chances are you’ve dealt with the feelings I’ve been dealing with as I’ve processed this: disappointment, anger, sadness, etc. In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve been processing these feelings and my big takeaways from it all. Plus, a recap of the fun weekend that followed with some of my most favorite people.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
There’s nothing like having a hype girl in your ear cheering you on. You stand taller, walk with confidence, and just feel so good! I hope I’m that person for y’all, and it means the world to have my family, friends, and clams be those people for me!
Try not to be a recluse when you’re feeling sad. It might be your first instinct to isolate yourself, but let a trusted loved one just sit next to you and be a source of comfort.
When I’m grappling with feeling super bummed about the results of something, I really try to hold onto the best parts of an experience overall. How I felt on the stage while dancing, the friendship I built with my dance partner, and the money we raised for a great cause are all keeping me rooted to the positive.

My DWTS experience has come to an end, and I’m sharing all the details of my journey to the stage. I have so much I want to say, so this will be a two parter! In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of how this experience helped me grow as a performer, what it was like to be on stage, and my CT scan prevention plan for my costume (if you know, you know). In part 2, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the results and a recap of my weekend with friends and family!

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
Give your body rest when it needs it. I took this past Friday off to recover from being sick. It’s so important to recognize when you need a break and take that time for yourself so you can get back to it soon!
You should feel 100% comfortable in what you’re wearing! You won’t go as hard as you can in your workout if you’re thinking about how your outfit looks or how it fits the whole time. Wear what makes you feel amazing!
If you’ve given your all to something, that’s all that really matters. Of course, we love winning too, but you should be proud of the effort you put into it and how the experience helped you grow.

24. An Expert? Maybe. Good Enough to Keep Going? Definitely!
Embrace the fact that you know a little bit about a lot of things. Are you an expert at any of them? Maybe, or maybe not. BUT you are pretty damn good at a lot of them.

If you need some motivation to keep going, especially at this time of year, tune in as I use my best sass and smooth podcast voice to pump you up to keep going.

In this episode you’ll learn…
That there is only one YOU! You bring uniqueness to this world. You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea and that is ok. There is a place for everyone to grow their skills and talents. Be who you are and be proud of it.
Clams keep me going! Every time I get a message about how you added burpees to your routine, a heavier weight, or tried a new move, it keeps me motivated to keep showing up and create more kick-ass workouts.
Self-care routines are essential. My life is about to get crazy with lots of travel, and while I love to travel, I can tell I feel a bit unsettled. This is when I stick with my self-care routines. They ground me, keep me healthy, and reduce my stress. If your life is feeling crazy like mine, stick with those routines, including your daily BBT workout.

23. Friendship and Fellowship
No offense to men, but women are better at friendship. Don’t believe me? It’s true. Women are better at communication, helping each other out and having heart to heart conversations. Inspired by an interview with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sally Fields and Rita Moreno, who star in the new film 80 for Brady, I am diving into the topic of friendship and fellowship. As they say, friends are the family members you get to choose. And I choose you clams!

3 ways to be a better friend:
Support your friends. Build them up. We all need this from time to time. As we enter the doldrums of winter we might need this more than ever, so put a little sunshine in someone’s life.
Stay in touch. Let your friends know what’s going on in your life, even the mundane moments. It is not as hard as you think but it is so goddamn important. Your homework is to reach out to your friends today.
Be less sensitive. Don’t take life so seriously. Laugh. Do it really loud. Do it again! We need this more than we think.

22. Reasons Not to Negotiate With Yourself
When saddled with a decision, we can choose to stay the course or we can give ourselves an excuse to stray from our path of good health. Do not negotiate with yourself. When you negotiate with yourself, you are going to negotiate with everything else in your life. Feeling uncomfortable aka sticking to your goals is good for you. I didn’t say it was easy though. If you find yourself distracted at this time of year, looking for excuses to stray from your intentions, then sit up and lean in as I give you a pep talk on how to stay the course and take care of yourself.

3 key takeaways from this episode:
Be wary of distractions. Especially these days, we are overflowing with options that it is easy to get lost in it all. All those distractions can become an easy excuse to stray from your intentions.
If you’re negotiating with yourself and you let that little voice win, it is ok. Don’t beat yourself up, but don’t let it happen again and again. Know that next time you will get closer to your goal. Get back on the path.
Sometimes we negotiate with ourselves when we are afraid of change. Change is scary but necessary for improvement. Do something a little different and watch the change that happens. Start small. These small changes accumulate over time to something magical.

Everyone has a down day. Use the magic of movement to change how you feel and push through it. Keep your body moving. Get some fresh air. Do a BBT clam workout … just saying.
Keep those post-holiday goals short and attainable. Build up your confidence and get a win right away!

20. New Year, New Attitude!
New year, new goals, new YOU in 2023! What will the new you be in 2023? Clams, it's time to think about the things you want….more muscle definition, better health, a mended relationship, something else? Don’t set yourself up for failure with unattainable goals that will leave you feeling defeated. Reach for smaller, short-term goals.

3 Things to consider for your new year goals:
If your goal is better muscle definition make sure you are really comfortable with the exercise first before adding heavier weights. Even adding just two more pounds can make a big difference. It's better to work on this slowly and thoroughly instead of setting yourself back with an injury.
If your goal is to mend a relationship, then keep working at it. Often when you are going through a rough patch with someone, it might be because of something you are going through. Take a step back and examine what might be going on with you first. Dig deep into those feelings and see where they might be affecting other parts of your life. Learning to recognize and control our emotions is a skill we need to continually work at.
Remember to practice good health habits. Drink more water, go for a 20 minute walk each day, get more sleep. You can do these things without spending any money and they will ultimately make you better.

19. Behind the Scenes with BodyByTrainor
It's no secret y’all that I love to workout and inspire others to improve their lives through fitness. For almost 3 years I have created a brand new workout every morning without repeat. How and why does this happen you ask? Well, if you are a die-hard clam or even a new clam, then buckle up as this episode is for you. Tune in as I share the steps, thoughts and attitude I put into creating each workout of BodyByTrainor, including my thoughts on night workouts, why I am a morning person and who I look to for inspiration.

In this episode you’ll learn:
BBT workouts are very intentional in targeting certain muscle groups one day and then letting them rest the next. When we target a muscle group it breaks down the muscle fibers and rebuilds them, essentially rebuilding your muscle better and stronger.
Why mornings are the best time for inspiration, brain work and body work! Create routines that you can stick to and don’t negotiate. When you negotiate, you start to talk yourself out of healthy habits.
Motivation and inspiration are key to progress, including my own. When you shout out that you’re excited for the workout on IG, it pumps me up. When you share how BBT has changed your life, it inspires me to keep putting my all into these workouts.

18. Your Presence is the PRESENT!
This is a wonderful time of year but it is also stressful, chaotic and possibly even full of grief. If you find yourself full of anxiety this week, you’re not alone. Take it all in and know that you are going to be ok. Remember to pause and take a deep breath. Maybe a few deep breaths. Tune in this week as Meghan shares tips for handling this crazy holiday week, including a reminder to move your body when your mood needs to shift and the knowledge that being present might be all you need.

3 key takeaways from this episode include:
When you feel stressed about all the obligations and events, just remember it's not about what you are bringing. It's about showing up. You are special in this life. Be present and be the present for others.
It's so easy to get ahead of ourselves and feel so much anxiety about this week. When this happens go for a walk, pump yourself up with the Clam Hype playlist, do a 3 minute workout. Start moving.
Never underestimate the power of a workout, even a quick one, to shift your mood. You are only 1 workout away from a better mood.

17. Birthday Hype + Training for Life
I am feeling the love y’all! I am celebrating all that is good in life: health, friendships, and my clams during my birthday week! I know that this is not everyone’s jam but it is my jam. Life is too short to not be thankful for all that you have and surround yourself with positivity. Keep showing up for yourself - this is the gift you need to prioritize!
This week we are digging into the shellphone and hearing about the bonds formed and success earned by our clammies in the BBT community.

3 key takeaways from this episode include:
The clams are a community of support. We lift each other up. At the Delray Beach fundraiser, out of town clams came together to meet for the first time and forge new friendships including sharing Airbnb’s together. Where else does this happen?!?
Let me coach you. Let me challenge you. When you do, you will see more than just results in your muscle tone. I am here to push you. Hype you. And change you for the better.
We are training for life, people! When you are in the BBT community, you are not only training your body, you are training your mind! We are getting stronger in all the ways, so we can live our life no matter what is thrown our way.

16. Sunday Scaries Are A Real Thing!
Thanksgiving is behind us, Christmas is in front of us and there is a whole lot of livin’ that needs to happen in between. As your trainer, we are making the most of our weeks to set ourselves up for success. Tune in as I discuss some key tips to handle the Sunday Scaries as well as share my Delray beach adventures involving Magic Mike and my plans for getting a new dog in spring. Spoiler alert: it’s going to be a girl dog and I already have the name picked out!

3 Tips to help you conquer the Sunday Scaries include:
Investigate where your anxiety comes from. Anticipatory anxiety, anxiety about something that hasn’t happened yet, is common. You need to determine what is causing you to feel this way. Do some journaling- get to the bottom of it. Then try some small tactical tips to reduce those Sunday Scaries.
Eat the frog- do something you are dreading first thing and get it out of the way! As clams, we always make our bed first thing in the morning. No one dreads this but now you’ve accomplished something right off the bat and can start checking other items off of your list.
Make Sundays Fundays. Go do something that brings you joy and this day will no longer be one you dread. I love catching a Panthers game, going golfing, and getting a good workout in!

To top that off, gift giving is my love language. This holiday season, I challenge you to not get caught up in the commercialism of it all, but be thoughtful in your gift giving. If you are having a hard time deciding, give the gift of health. You honestly can’t go wrong improving someone’s health. Tune in today, as I discuss health, gift giving, and how workouts could possibly change the world.

Some key takeaways from this podcast include:
Be an athlete. Embrace your athleticism. Even if you’ve never played sports in your life, when you are doing BodyByTrainor, you are embracing your inner athlete. You are strong and confident. Encourage your bada#$ self to show up.
Invest in your health. This is the greatest gift you can give yourself! Keep showing up. Each and every goddamn day! If you can’t make the live class, hit play later on in the day. Get that workout in any way you can.
Workouts = World Peace. You might say this is a stretch but when you work out, you are happier. With each workout, we are creating happier people and that leads to a happier world, right?

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
Acknowledge the effort and hard work you are putting in. You are showing up and that counts! And remember to keep showing up. Whatever happens over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, make sure to keep moving your body.
Give yourself grace and that includes practicing some self-care. Get your nails done, go out for happy hour drinks with friends. Life is too short to stress about a holiday. When you practice kindness to yourself, you can show up for the other important people in your life and isn’t that what life is about?
It's hard to make friends as an adult, that is unless you are a clam. Bennett called in to share the huge welcome and support she has received since joining the clams 4 months ago. Don’t sit on the sidelines, come join this community and we will welcome you with open arms!

13. Embracing a YOLO Mentality For a Fuller Life + A Trip Down Memory Lane
Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we? In this episode, I’m sharing some of my most recent adventures, including a trip to my alma mater, Elon University, where I dartied (AKA partied in the daytime) with some of my sorority sisters from college. In addition to providing good times and great stories, this experience taught me some really cool lessons that I’m sharing with you today.

Allow your arm to be twisted from time to time. In other words, stay open to the possibility of an unexpected experience! You never know who you’ll run into, who you’ll meet, and what you’ll get to do along the way. YOLO!
Don’t wait to start taking care of yourself and your body. No matter what your age is, don’t wait until you’re ready or until it’s convenient to start prioritizing your health and boosting your energy.

12. Sharing Fun Stories, Updates, and Gratitude for the People That Inspired Me This Week
You can (and should!) practice gratitude all year round, but November is an excellent month to hone in on all the thankfulness! In this episode, I’m sharing fun stories about just a few people and things I’m grateful for, including the crew on my fabulous flight back from Florida, Charlotte Dancing with the Stars, two Clams that inspired me this week, and the BBT Plankful Thankful Challenge!

Some key takeaways from this episode:
Life doesn’t always have to be so serious. If you can make other people smile by doing something silly, or let yourself laugh at something silly even if you aren’t in the mood to laugh, do it! It’s so worth it.
If there’s something you want in life, put it out there! Speak out loud to the universe, to a friend, in a prayer, whatever resonates with you. You need to share it to help manifest it!
This one is from our fellow Clam, Shannon: know how strong you are, mentally and physically. Be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself. Get your mammogram! And remember you are strong as f*ck!

11. An Emotional Recap of Our Clam Retreat in Cancun, Straight From the Clams Themselves!
Get your hearts ready... This episode is a straight up love letter to our clam community and every beautiful human that attended our clam retreat and everyone who has shown up for themselves through their workouts with me over the last two years. I am playing your messages, sharing your experiences of attending the clam retreat and meeting each other in real life, and hopefully hyping everyone up for the next one!! P.S. the audio is a little wild until 8 minutes in, I promise it gets better so please stick with it!

Some key takeaways from this episode are:
I’m going to start doing something special, just for fun, on a random day of the week, like Tuesdays. Creating an exciting moment on a usually boring day is a great way to add more sparkle to your life.
You need to hold space for yourself during tough, emotional seasons in your life. When it feels like everything is out of control, don’t forget to keep living your life. Workout for an hour, take a vacation, or just treat yourself, guilt free!
Do things that scare you and push you out of your comfort zone. So many clams traveled solo to the retreat and were nervous to meet new people in person, but they all rocked it and had the best time!! Being brave in these moments will carry you through life’s challenges.

10. Turning Comparison Into Celebration + Behind the Scenes of Our Clam Retreat Prep!
In this episode, I’m sharing all the prep work and pre-retreat jitters I experienced while getting ready for our first ever Clam retreat in Cancun! By the time you’re listening to this, the retreat will have already happened (recap coming soon!!), so I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes before the trip. I’m also sharing my thoughts on comparison and how important it is to cheer on people who are reaching their goals and doing things you aspire to do. It’s so hard not to compare yourself to others in this social media landscape, but it’s also never been easier to leave positive comments and messages for people who inspire you.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
I was inspired by the quote “A vision without a plan is merely a dream,” and it led me to creating the Clam retreat for you all. If you have a vision, you have to take the action needed to make it happen!
It can be challenging to root for others when you’re not where you want to be with your goals yet, but you will attract so many more opportunities and positivity to yourself if you cheer others on anyway!
The best friendships are the ones where you appreciate each other deeply. It’s totally okay to have different friends that you call on for different reasons, but ultimately you want to build relationships with people you love to celebrate and who love celebrating you.

9. How Do You Speak? | Channeling Your Nervous Energy Into Passionate Energy
Happy Monday, Clams! In this episode I’ll discuss all of the wonderful tips and tricks I learned throughout the Excellence in Speaking Institute course I took last week. Do you want to know the most important thing I took away from my experience? Be comfortable with the uncomfortable! We’ll talk about how having eye connection, standing firm, pausing and eliminating non-words doesn’t come easy to everyone and how to implement these things in your life. You don’t have to master it all at once, but by putting some of these things into practice in your daily life will ultimately be of value to you!

Some key takeaways from this episode are:
A non-word is an um, like, so, etc. Take time to think about your non-words and try pausing instead. I encourage you to be aware of yours and try not to start every sentence with “so”. You know what you’re going to say. Pause, think about it and proceed.
Give everyone you’re speaking to an opportunity to connect with you through your eyes. Yes, it’s easier said than done… but try it, own it. The more we do it the more it becomes our habit.
Anytime you’re talking to someone, you’re presenting your thoughts and opinions. Storytelling is my favorite because you’re simply regurgitating what happened to you. The most important thing to remember if you’re a storyteller is your grabber opening and power close.

The clams and I are taking over Cancun Oct 14-17th for the first ever Clam Retreat. I’m bringing like-minded, kind, caring, funny, and supportive people together in a judgment free space. Open hearts with an attitude of gratitude.
As we approach Halloween, think zip-lock bags. Portion your goodies into individual servings. The goal is to find what works best for you. Stick with your plans and if you don’t have one? Create one.
Rather than buying the big bag of candy at the store, buy the individual bag to save on time and effort. It’s all about convenience!

Don’t negotiate with yourself! If you decide setting your alarm for an early morning is a great idea, show up and keep that promise to yourself. If 5 PM is the time you want to get after it, that’s awesome, too! Set a time and stick to it.
You are the company you keep. I had an amazing time connecting with my bestie and her friends at her baby shower this month, and the clam community has supported each other through so much in their lives even though so many of them haven’t met in real life!
Going from working out because you don’t like your body to working out because you love your body is a huge transition and SO worth celebrating!! Movement is a celebration of your body and I’m so grateful you join me every week to workout together!

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
If you’re ever feeling down, get up and get moving! The endorphin rush from getting a workout in will instantly make you feel so much better. Just 10 minutes makes a world of difference.
When we feel called to blame something or someone other than ourselves for how we’re doing, sometimes we have to take a hard look at ourselves and see what we can individually do better to achieve a better outcome.
Be comfortable with your own company! There’s a difference between being alone and being lonely. Try something fun on your own and just enjoy the quiet time to yourself. Developing your relationship with yourself will help you keep your promises to yourself when it’s time to get the work done!

Some key takeaways on turning a crappy day around are:
Do what feels good and feels right! We skipped the Clemson game in person due to the weather, and ended up making the best of it with charcuterie and fireball. A dream!
If you’re hungover, do a workout! It’s probably the last thing you’re feeling, but I promise after 10 minutes you’ll feel so much better!
When things aren’t going your way, don’t get mad at the folks that probably have no control over what’s happening. Get that angry energy with some physical movement, like a workout with our clams!

Some key takeaways from this episode are:
I don’t care what Britney Spears is rocking on the ‘gram, low rise jeans should never make a comeback… ever!!
The small things keep us sane and pull us out of whatever funk we’re in. For Bennette, it’s moving her body in one of my workouts, and for Juju, it’s connecting with her fellow CLAMS!
Every single workout we do in the CLAM community is different, and that’s intentional. It keeps everyone guessing, excited, and motivated to keep tuning in!

Some key takeaways to pump your workout routine are:
Find joyful movement whenever the moment strikes. If you’re down to drop it like it’s hot in the grocery store when your jam comes on, DO IT! If you’re working out and your favorite hype song comes on, jump around or fist pump like there’s no tomorrow.
Make your home gym setup exciting and fun to look at and spend time in. Mine has bright lights that move with me. Yours might have motivational quotes up on the wall, or maybe a more serene vibe with candles
If you’re trying to reignite the flame in your fitness journey, buy yourself some new workout clothes. It is so much fun to treat yourself to a new outfit and show it off, knowing how amazing you look! Buy fun new workout gear and feel that motivation flowing back to you!

I know it, you know it, your mama knows it: you can do hard things! But if doing the hard thing feels like a huge chore, this is the episode for you!

If you need a pep talk to get you through some hard shit this week, I got you!

Some key takeaways on doing hard shit:
It’s okay to have high expectations, but only if you’re willing to do the work. If you expect greatness to come to you from doing nothing, you’re gonna have a bad time.
Sometimes we need to have that difficult conversation with ourselves and ask: are we willing to do the hard work? If the answer is no, that is 100% okay! Move on to the thing where the answer to that question is HELL FREAKING YES!
Putting yourself out there and losing will always always always be better than sitting on the sidelines for fear of failure. Failing is hard, but we learn and grow so much every time we go through it. You got this!!

1. Who Is BodyByTrainor? The CLAM Community Origin Story
Welcome to the CLAM studio, y’all! In this first episode of the Talks With Your Trainor podcast, I’m sharing the origin story of how I started BodyByTrainor, or BBT for short! BBT has brought so many amazing humans into my life, and this episode is the who, what, when, and why behind the community that’s 35,000+ strong and counting!

IV Wellness by Nurse Joanie
Some key takeaways from this episode are:
BodyByTrainor was born seven years ago when I competed in my first ever bikini competition. I had about 300 followers (can you say “influencer?”) but I look back at the work I put in during this season of my life as evidence I can do anything!
After competing, I started learning the art of balance. Gaining weight and losing muscle in order to allow myself to live a sustainable lifestyle was (and still is!) so damn hard, but so worth it!
You’ll hear me refer to my “Clams,” which is what we call our community members! It originated from a leg day workout where we did a clamshell exercise and a few dirty jokes later, bada bing bada boom, the CLAM community was born!
