More Movement Please

Famous Ashley Grant

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?

    36,477 Steps: What Gen Con Taught Me About How Far My Body Has Come

    Just two years ago, walking a convention floor for five days straight would have wrecked me. This year I logged over 36,000 steps at Gen Con, the world's biggest tabletop gaming convention, and actually enjoyed every minute of it. In this episode I break down what four days of nonstop walking and standing felt like in my body now versus then, why I noticed swollen ankles on other convention goers and felt for them, and what this trip taught me about building real stamina instead of chasing a number on a scale. If you've ever skipped a trip or an event because you weren't sure your body could handle it, this one is for you. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.

    Why Strength Training Now Could Save You From a Broken Hip Later

    What if the exercises you skip today are the reason you can't get off the floor at 70? Chiropractor and strength specialist Dr. Matt Tanneberg breaks down exactly why muscle strength and balance training aren't optional as we age, they're what keeps you upright, steady, and able to catch yourself before a fall turns into a fracture. In this episode, Dr. Tanneberg explains how single leg exercises, yoga, tai chi, and qigong build the coordination and stability that protect your joints and bones for the long haul. He also breaks down what's actually happening inside your body when you strengthen your tendons and ligaments, and why that "clicking" or achy joint feeling often traces back to weak connective tissue you can train. This one will change how you think about every workout you do from here on out. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.
