More Movement Please is a fitness podcast dedicated to moving your body more. It's time to get healthy, and get fit with small and steady changes. Hi! I'm known online as Famous Ashley Grant, and this is my story about how I went from fat to fit...well, I'm working on it... In July 2025, I decided to get more serious about my health and fitness journey. I'd been dabbling since August 2023, but the week of July 14 - one month from my birthday, I dove in deep! July 14-19 I took 19 classes. Extreme, I know, but it felt necessary to jolt me in the right direction. Now, I'm sharing my reflections because hey - as a gal over 40 trying to finally get fit, I feel like documenting it will help keep me accountable. The goal is not to get skinny or meet a threshold number on the scale. Nope! The goal is to get strong and feel better in my body. I hope through sharing what I'm going through, others can feel empowered to do the same. Let's frikkin GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    The 10,000 Steps Scam: How a Marketing Campaign Became Fitness "Fact"

    Think you need 10,000 steps a day to be healthy? That magic number actually came from a 1960s Japanese pedometer marketing campaign and was never based on science. Dr. Melissa McDowell reveals the real step count you need based on current research: 7,500 steps if you're over 60, or 8,500 steps if you're under 60. Yep! Both significantly lower than the 10,000-step target you've been chasing. Ashley breaks down how this myth became fitness gospel and what you should do with the extra time you just got back (hint: strength training twice a week). Plus, she shares her relief at finally returning to in-person group fitness after 11 days snowed in and why this revelation makes her question every piece of fitness advice she's ever received. If you're tired of chasing arbitrary fitness goals, this episode will free you to train smarter, not longer. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

    Down 4 Pant Sizes in 6 Months: The Non-Scale Victory That Changed Everything

    Ashley celebrates dropping another pant size - her fourth since July - and the powerful realization that the scale doesn't tell the whole story. In this raw and honest episode, she breaks down why she's ditching "weight loss goals" for "fitness goals" and how focusing on movement over restrictive dieting led to results she never thought possible. Discover how Ashley transformed her body through consistent movement (hello, Zumba!) and simple hydration changes, all while still eating the foods she loves. She shares the emotional moment of trying on pants she thought would be too small, the reality of building muscle while losing inches, and why non-scale victories matter more than the number on the scale.

    We're All Gonna Die Anyway: Why Mortality Should Motivate Your Fitness

    What if your doctor called you a "ticking time bomb"? Host Famous Ashley Grant shares her raw, honest story of going from crippling pain just standing up from a chair to reclaiming her health in six months. After recent losses forced her to confront her own mortality, Ashley realized before amping up her fitness efforts, she wasn't living, she was barely surviving in a body that hurt to simply exist. This episode strips away the usual fitness motivation fluff and gets real about why the fact that we're all going to die should actually inspire us to move more, not less. Ashley opens up about the pain of lifting a water pitcher, her doctor's alarming warnings, and the moment she decided that if her time is limited, she refuses to spend it as a burden on others or trapped in a body that won't cooperate. If you've been putting off movement or need a wake-up call about what's at stake, this honest conversation about mortality, health scares, and finding strength will hit home.
