I walked into my first Zumba class and lasted 15 minutes before I had to leave because I couldn't breathe. I couldn't do a single jumping jack. I couldn't hold a plank. I was using 5-pound dumbbells and calling them my "big weights." That was August 2023. Today? 600+ group fitness classes. 26 pounds down. I'm using 20-pound dumbbells, taking multiple classes in a day, and chasing the high that comes with working out and moving more every chance that I get. I'm Famous Ashley Grant, and More Movement Please is a fitness podcast for women over 40 who are done waiting to feel stronger. Think of it as your fit after 40 survival guide, minus the unrealistic advice and the influencers who make everything look effortless. I record most episodes from my car on the way to and from the gym, so they're quick (5-10 minutes), honest, and easy to binge. Think of me as your workout buddy who keeps it real. This show is part accountability, part education, part inspiration. I talk about beginner fitness tips, gym motivation, what to do when you sleep through your alarm, why most fitness influencers are full of it, and how small lifestyle changes beat crash diets every single time. Sometimes I bring on guests — like my YMCA instructor Rhonda Goode, who told me the thing that changed everything: "Everyone is busy, but it's a choice to schedule exercise just like anything else." The goal isn't a number on a scale. It's getting strong, feeling better in your body, and building a community of people who believe they deserve to move. I want this to be more than a podcast. I want it to be a movement of movement. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes weekly. Onwards and upwards, friends. Have you worked out today?

    Can a Fitness Podcast Survive Without Sponsors? An Honest Update

    More Movement Please is moving to one new episode a week, and I'm telling you exactly why. This year hit hard, and I need your help to keep the movement of movement alive. I've been sick, the bills are piling up, and I'm a one-woman show. Putting out two episodes a week isn't something I can keep doing right now. In this honest update, I'm sharing what's really going on behind the mic. You'll hear: – Why I'm slowing down instead of hitting pause – What being sick this year cost me in time, money, and workouts – How sponsor outreach actually went (hello, ghosting) and why affiliate income alone doesn't pay the bills – Why this show is the most important project of my creative life – The biggest lesson of the year: you have to be your own health advocate – Why real human voices matter more than ever in the age of AI I don't want to be another podcaster who quits. I want this show to blow up in 2027. To get there, I'm asking you to weigh in. What do you want to hear? What would make you press play every week? What would make you share an episode with a friend? Send in your ideas and your voice notes. Your feedback could shape what this show becomes. Onwards and upwards, my friends. Have you worked out today?

    Use It or Lose It: How to Start Over When You Feel Like You're Back at Square One

    Taking time off from working out is brutal, and the restart is the hardest part. I used to lift tens and twenties, and after a health setback I'm fighting my way back with eights and tens. It's frustrating, and I'm not going to pretend it isn't. In this episode of More Movement Please, I get real about starting over after a break. You'll hear why losing strength is normal, why it feels so defeating, and why showing up still beats staying home. If you've skipped a few days, a few weeks, or a lot longer, this one will push you to get back to it today. In this episode you'll learn: – Why starting over feels like going backward, and why it's still a win – How a lighter weight day still counts as progress – Why putting workouts on your calendar protects them from everyone else's priorities – Why you're the only person who can advocate for your health – A simple mindset for walking back into the gym after time away ⚠️This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

    My Biopsy Is Today: A Health Update and One Year of More Movement Please

    The day this episode drops is the day I'm getting a biopsy, and I'm nervous. Today I'm sharing where I'm at with my health, why my workouts look totally different lately, and how I'm still finding ways to move. I was finally feeling strong and confident, then had to drop to lower weights and rest more than I wanted. In this update, I talk about getting back to Zumba, low impact cardio, and toning, what happened when I pushed too hard, and how I'm keeping my spirits up. If you've ever had a setback that knocked the wind out of you, this one's for you. This week is also the one year anniversary of More Movement Please. I never set out to start a fitness podcast, and a full year of episodes still blows my mind. Year two is going to be all about you, the community. Onwards and upwards, my friends.

    Too Weak to Work Out? Here’s How I’m Moving Through Anemia

    What do you do when your body won’t let you work out, but you know sitting still will make it worse? I’ve been sidelined by anemia, fibroids, and ovarian cysts, and I’m sharing exactly how I’m trying to get back to movement without pushing too hard. I told you that you can work out anytime, anywhere, no matter your physical state. Then my body tested that promise. In this episode, I’m eating my words about what “anytime, anywhere” really means when you’re dealing with severe fatigue, dizziness, and blood loss. I walk you through the gentle movement I’m doing right now, including seated dumbbell work, easy yoga, short walks, and modified Tabata with the lowest weights I own. If you’re feeling weak, tired, or stuck in a health setback, this one’s for you. You’ll learn how to move when you can’t stand up, why rest is important but too much rest can make getting back to it harder, and how to listen to your body without letting a hard season become the excuse to quit for good. I also talk about why I’m more committed to movement than ever, and why I think staying active before all this started kept it from being even worse. ⚠️This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

    Why Your Mindset Matters More Than Your Meal Plan (The Triad of Health)

    You can nail your workouts and still stall out if you don’t believe you’re worth the time it takes to take care of yourself. Today, I react to a voice note from Heath Jones about the triad of health (nutrition, exercise, and mindset) and share where I agree, where I push back, and why the mindset side might be the one holding you back. Heath breaks down why cardio and strength training both matter for your health goals, and how stress and sleep can quietly work against you. I’m not a diet culture girly, so I also talk honestly about calorie counting, restriction, and why I’d rather you focus on movement and eating better quality food without the guilt. If you’ve been putting everyone else first and your own health last, this one’s for you. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and you deserve an hour (or four percent of your day) to move your body.
