The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast Constantly Varied Gear

You don’t need to spend hours in the gym every day to get results - and this statement is backed by science.

Studies show that the average strength gains for people working out 3x a week produced the most significant strength gains. Does that mean that you don’t get gains if you workout more than 3 days a week? No, you still get those gains, they’re just not as significant as the first three days…. And if you want to hear why AND the percentages then listen in to today’s episode of The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast.

What is one harmful message you received growing up about body image / health / nutrition? Now that you are an adult, what would you like to tell younger you about it?

Today we are joined by Sarah Ann Macklin. Sarah is a renowned podcast host, public speaker, TEDx speaker, international model, and health journalist, she was also named Woman of the Year in 2019 by Rake Magazine. Today we discuss how being a model affected Sarah’s views on nutrition, health, wellness, and her relationship with her body. Because of her unique experiences and education she has created what she calls The 7 Pillars of Health. Each pillar represents an area of life based on Body Image, Nutrition, Self Care, and how we can practice each area striving for flexibility and balance between them. 

With this knowledge Sarah, Kelsea, and Rachael, discuss what message we can send the younger generations about health and wellness, as well as tips on how to improve YOUR relationship within yourself.

“Everyone is going to judge me there.” “I don’t have the time.” “It’s too expensive.”

Have you said or thought these things when you are debating on if you should start going to the gym? We have a response:

It doesn't take a ton of time. It doesn’t cost too much money. There aren’t people that are completely different from you waiting to be mean to you, in fact, gym people are some of the most welcoming communities you will ever meet.

The reality is- as a society when it comes to wellness and health care we have made tremendous strides in addressing acute illness, but have taken steps backwards with long term health or even preventative health. Getting in vigorous activity actually decreases mortality by up to 31%, and that includes the health issues that come with it. So how do we have more tools to improve our long term health than ever- but not yet improved? Tune into today’s episode to hear our top 5 “reasons” that people aren’t making it into the gym, and what you can do about them.

“I’m trying to lose weight, I’m doing everything right. Eating well, exercising regularly, and the scale STILL won’t move”

Have you said this? And in return has someone else said:“Track ALL of your food. Every single nibble, bite, whatever enters your mouth. Track it. You need to be more honest with yourself.”

This is a problem, and we are addressing it. Not only is it disheartening to essentially be told you’re a liar, did anyone ask you about how long you’ve been working on this goal? Have you looked at any other health metrics? As in - are you stronger? Are you FEELING better? Do you have more energy? The scale is not the only health metric we should be measuring, not only that but the data ISN’T EVEN ACCURATE. Calories aren’t an exact science, they’re a guesstimate. Same goes with how we burn them and how they’re being measured on our fitness trackers and watches. So we’re building unsustainable habits off of inaccurate data and then wondering why we feel so frustrated. However - the good news is that in today’s podcast we cover what you can do instead. So tune in to hear what you need to know about building sustainable habits to help you reach your goals!

We get it…kinda.  You get some weird euphoria when pounding the pavement alone at 5am.  Sounds rad.  But your time spent in the gym with the weights is EQUALLY as valuable as your time spend on the run IF you want longevity in this hobby…. So how do we stay running? Focus on the basics:

1: Decrease risk of injury

2: Prevent / Correct muscle imbalances

3: Improve running performance

You can address ALL three of these things with strength training & accessory work.. Tune into this weeks episode to learn our favorite moves to keep YOU not only running your best, but PRing your times & feeling good at the same time!
