    Camila Ramón talks music, movement, Peloton and Self Love

    If you've been on your Peloton bike, Tread or App since 2021, you've probably taken a class with Camila Ramón. She was the first Spanish speaking instructor on the bike and since her inaugural ride, she's brought the music, culture and body positivity she wanted to see more of in the world.We spend our time on the episode talking about how she came to fall back in love with movement after years of dance, the importance of music to her, and what it's like to work at Peloton.But the thing that was most delightful to me was just experiencing the silliness wrapped up in someone you should take very seriously. Camila knows how and when to crack a joke to make you comfortable, but she also has a big important story to tell that can make even more people feel seen in fitness.Resources:* Find Camila Ramón's Peloton class (https://www.onepeloton.com/instructors/CMR_pelo)es (https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/all?instructor_id=%5B%22696bd08dd5284accab065e2147b121d7%22%5D&sort=original_air_time&desc=true)* Follow Camila on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/camilaramonnn/?hl=en)* Read Shape's article about Camila (https://www.shape.com/celebrities/interviews/peloton-camila-ramon)* Read The LA Times piece about Camila Ramon (https://www.latimes.com/delos/story/2024-01-03/camila-ramon-latinas-fitness-peloton-exercise)

    Why Kayla Jeter Created 100MilesofSummer

    What started as a personal challenge for Kayla Jeter seven years ago has evolved into a global sensation. From May 1 until August 31, 100MilesofSummer (https://www.100milesofsummer.com/) challenges thousands of participants across the country to simply log 100 miles. That amounts to 25 miles a month and approximately 6 miles a week.And to make this challenge even more doable, participants can walk, run, jog or roll those miles.I met Kayla just after she moved to Chicago and was making her way in the city in her post-professional sports career. Her vision for this summer program has always been clear (and fun to watch): create change in the sport of running to make it more inviting and inclusive.In our conversation, you'll hear a lot about where 100MilesofSummer came from, the role of movement and community in dealing with grief, and the power of community to help you achieve your goals.And in the seventh year of the challenge, there are some really big updates - aside from reaching folks on other continents.* Kayla and her team created a community home on the Circle Platform (https://www.100milesofsummer.com/).* Kayla and her team launched their own platform-agnostic miles tracker (https://www.100milesofsummer.com/?target=818468a1bfad492599706dafa106d579¶ms=%7B%7D) (so if you love Nike's app, use it. If you're a Strava stan, go crazy. You'll just log your miles for the challenge on the tracker separately.)Resources:* Follow Kayla on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/kaylajeter_/)* Follow 100MilesofSummer on Instagram (https://instagram.com/100milesofsummer/)* Join the 100MilesofSummer Circle community (https://100milesofsummer.circle.so/)* Start using the tracker (https://www.100milesofsummer.com/?target=818468a1bfad492599706dafa106d579¶ms=%7B%7D)* Read the Chicago Tribune's Feature Story on Kayla's journey and goals (https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/05/01/kayla-jeter-running-challenge/)* We chat about Kayla's insane experience taking on Lululemon Further and running more than 200 miles in six days. Here's her synopsis (https://www.instagram.com/p/C4f0EkMLT0o/?img_index=1) and details from Lululemon on the project (https://shop.lululemon.com/story/run-further).

    Haley Shapley talks About the History of Women's Strength in her book "Strong Like Her"

    Haley Shapley (https://www.haleyshapley.com/), author of the book "Strong Like Her (https://www.haleyshapley.com/stronglikeher)" is a walking history book of women's foray into sports and strength.That's because she literally wrote the book on it ("Strong Like Her (https://www.haleyshapley.com/stronglikeher)," which is now available in paperback). After the author entered a bodybuilding competition, she had the eye-opening experience of hearing first-hand the outdated ideas about women's strength. So, she started looking into the people she calls, "our Muscular Foremothers.""Don't lift too heavy," "No man will find you attractive," and "you look like a man." No matter how much we try to move past these ideas, we still encounter them them. In our conversation, Haley talks through the rule breakers in strength as well as the link between gender, strength, feminism and suffrage.In this conversation, you'll hear some really interesting stories of strength - some that may be new to you:* The story of Ada Anderson and the sport of Pedestrianism, who smashed attendance records for her feats of walking.* Cynisca and the loophole that allowed her to be the first woman to win in the Olympics in the four-horse chariot race* Pudgy Stockton, who was not only a weightlifter, but also a gymnastResources:* Find Haley Shapley online (https://www.haleyshapley.com/)* Get "Strong Like Her (https://www.haleyshapley.com/stronglikeher)" wherever you get books* Follow Haley Shapley on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/haleyshapley/)* And get excited for her next project, Night Owl (https://www.instagram.com/p/C6eg0DcPQiP/)

    Learning to Create an An-Home Fitness Routine With CrossRope

    I was never the kid who sought out a jump rope for fun, I wasn’t counting how many jumps I could do uninterrupted, and I wasn’t doing double dutch. However, as an adult I was handed a jump rope to work out and after a couple of minutes, I was gassed. So I incorporated it into workouts and developed a love for how much I hated it.At one point, I was even teaching a fitness class called “Ropes Gone Wild,” but that’s a story for a different day.So when CrossRope reached out, promising to make jumping rope at home a fun part of your workout (with a connected fitness component), I tried it, I loved it, and I selected a 25-minute workout my first time back to jumping rope. That was a mistake - my poor calves.And in the world, we’re going back to hybrid everything - hybrid work, hybrid workout. I know for me, if I choose to work out at home, it's because I’m in a time crunch, so I need whatever I do at home to be efficient.So today, we’re talking to two experts from Crossrope: Dave Hunt, Founder and CEO of Crossrope, and Jennika Landon, a Crossrope Trainer (who I’m pretty sure is also a molecular biologist). We’re going to dig in to making at home workouts fit your time and your lifestyle.References: * CrossRope (https://www.crossrope.com)* CrossRope on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/crossropejumpropes/)* Dave Hunt on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-hunt-crossrope/)* Jennika Landon on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennika-landon-a332161a1/)

    What Is an Essential Fatty Acid and What Do Dolphins Have to Do With the Newest One?

    As a lifelong learner, I feel pretty fortunate that I get to interview smart people, innovators, and inventors and say, "teach me something."And this week, the big question was about Essential Fatty Acids. What makes a fatty acid essential? Spoiler: you have to ingest it and your body needs it for important functions. And what about saturated vs. unsaturated fats?We dig in with the co-founders of Fatty15, Stephanie and Eric Venn-Watson, on the discovery of the essential fatty acid you'll find in the Fatty15 capsules: C15:0.And the best part? Stephanie was studying dolphins when she made this discovery. Resources: * Fatty15 (https://fatty15.com/): the company that Eric and Stephanie co-founded* Stephanie Venn-Watson's TED Talk about her discovery that C15:0 is an essential fatty acid.

    Dr. Gwen Bass Talks About Helping Everyone To feel like They Belong at the Gym (and everywhere)

    The thing about being human is that we’re born ready to discover the world - the sights, the sounds, what makes us happy, what scares us, and even who we are. Our identity is something that comes to us piece by piece as we mature and explore the world around us. Can you imagine living a life that fully supports you discovering your identity?Today, we’re speaking with Dr. Gwen Bass about her work in creating identity-affirming environments that promote belonging. She also wrote a book Called Immaculate Misconception about her journey to finding her biological siblings who shared a sperm donor as well as her family that was created around love and belonging. She was one of the first children conceived in the '80s to two lesbian moms.That journey of identity and hiding her identity in certain situations and being accepted in others shaped her research and her academic work since.In this conversation, she talks about risk factors and protective factors for identity. Dr. Gwen shares some steps that leaders can take to ensure that folks know that they an be themselves while not getting in the way of others needs being met. We talk about how the concepts of belonging apply to the fitness space. Dr. Gwen chats through how yoga is an exceptionally inclusive fitness space because of the ways instructors cue leveling up and down, using props. She talks about:* Leadership in a fitness space* Music in a fitness space * The language used in a fitness* The Peloton App and how the instructors take the modifications and how important that modeling isReferences: * Dr. Gwen Bass (https://www.drgwenbass.com/)* Immaculate Misconception (https://www.drgwenbass.com/immaculate-misconception)* Dr. Gwen Bass on aSweatLife.com (https://asweatlife.com/2023/07/gwen-bass-immaculate-misconception/)* Peloton Digital fitness (https://www.onepeloton.com/app)

    What We're Thinking About - Aliens, Astrology, and What We Save on TikTok

    It has admittedly been a weird week or so on the Internet. We went from learning that aliens might be super real (told you, Gideon (https://asweatlife.com/2023/07/316-gideon-akande-project-365/)) to moving on. Maybe it was the full moon, who knows.So, we decompressed and talked it over on our monthly tête-à-tête - our podcast episode that we call "Let's Talk About It." Sure, we spent a little bit of time talking about aliens and whether or not they're just tourist, but we also covered which astrology apps we like and what we're saving on Instagram and TikTok.On this week's episode, you'll hear from me, Jeana Anderson Cohen, and from the Senior Director of Communities at aSweatLife, Kelly Matkovich. Joining us is Dana Farber who runs Moonstone marketing and works with aSweatLife on content strategy and social media.Resources:* What Dana is saving on social: Snack queen baked potato dip (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT88fdv44/)* What Dana is saving on social: Women living alone - extra lock (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT88fMu9w/)* What Dana is saving on social: Treehouse glamping in Washington (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT88fYgU4/)* What Kelly is saving on social: Heel hook (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tPGJ3-mxbY)* What Kelly is saving on social: Tour de mont blanc (https://www.gadventures.com/travel-styles/active/hiking-trekking/mont-blanc/?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2qKmBhCfARIsAFy8buJY2Xenhd3iD2bY4PBKciZE6Sr-kmA5Mc8D7kmebTUPavO0wK5ztZgaAgseEALw_wcB)* What Kelly is saving on social: Derma planing (https://www.gillettevenus.com/en-us/womens-shaving-guide/womens-hair-removal/dermaplaning-and-benefits/?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2qKmBhCfARIsAFy8buI3ymcLxwJNonSa9K8orE1kwPQTJ00TzKykRrDZNl1UosSUw36VXjQaAi78EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds)* UFO hearings (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ufo-hearing-congress-uap-takeaways-whistleblower-conference-david-grusch-2023/)* Therabody smart goggles (https://www.therabody.com/us/en-us/eye-mask-smart-goggles/?utm_a=140175693782&gclid=CjwKCAjwq4imBhBQEiwA9Nx1BkihRiu-MY4ARLgzfEPrEmQpTJtz1EgpG-9ptzq-vkGSR0KDOC6brRoCnuwQAvD_BwE)* Mystic Monday (https://www.mysticmondays.com/)* Horoscope app: Co-star (https://www.costarastrology.com/)* Horoscope app: Pattern (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-pattern/id1071085727)* Horoscope app: Sanctuary (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sanctuary-psychic-reading/id1417411962)* Astrology app: The chani app (https://chaninicholas.com/chani-app/)* Tarot card app: mystic monday (https://shop.mysticmondays.com/pages/app)* Dana’s playlists for moods: sad (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWSqBruwoIXkA?si=0ae1ab556cc74798&nd=1)* Dana’s playlists for moods: stay in bed (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX6tTW0xDxScH?si=0f3f72f6dd614b33&nd=1)* Dana’s playlists for moods: Lazy Afternoon (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX7QUXSrhM7mI?si=5085b3e85f694171&nd=1)* Therabody Smart Goggles (https://www.therabody.com/us/en-us/eye-mask-smart-goggles/?utm_a=143592395758&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2qKmBhCfARIsAFy8buKlu9Ff--VO-1TY-d-CaDxpDhrgtMesUGhFqDbOrt_O7t2R0clurK4aAjivEALw_wcB)
