🎙️ Episode 134: One "Off" Weekend Doesn’t Mean You Failed

Had a holiday weekend where you overindulged? Maybe you had a few drinks, ate more than usual, stayed up too late, skipped your steps, or woke up feeling puffy, tired, and a little frustrated. You’re not alone. And you did not ruin your progress. In this episode, I’m talking about what to do after a holiday, vacation, or life event throws off your normal health and fitness routine. And spoiler: the answer is not to slash your calories, punish yourself with cardio, or say “screw it” and keep going down that road. In this episode, I break down: * Why one day of overindulging will not ruin your progress * Why trying to overcorrect usually makes things worse * How poor sleep and alcohol can dysregulate hunger * What “getting back on track” actually looks like * Why your baseline habits matter more than perfection * How to use the weekend as feedback instead of failure Because the reality is, you only fail if you give up. If you get back to your protein, your steps, your workouts, your hydration, your sleep, and your normal routine, you’re going to be just fine. A misstep is part of the journey, but quitting doesn’t have to be. 🙌🏻 Let’s Connect 📱 Instagram: @fit.habit.emma [https://instagram.com/fit.habit.emma]🌐 Website: www.fithabit.club [https://fithabit.club/]🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode!

🎙️ Episode 133: The Uncomfortable Truth About Building Muscle

Everyone wants to build muscle… Until the scale starts going up.Until their clothes feel a little tighter.Until they have to eat more food than they’re comfortable with.Until they realize recomping forever is probably the slowest path to the body they actually want. In this episode, I’m talking about the part of building muscle most people don’t want to hear: You will probably have to gain weight.You will probably feel uncomfortable.You will probably feel a little puffier.And yes, some body fat gain may be part of the process. But the payoff? More muscle.A better metabolism.More food freedom.More strength.A body that looks leaner at a higher weight.And the ability to stop dieting forever. If you want to look toned, strong, and athletic, the answer is not endless fat loss phases. At some point, you have to build. And building requires discomfort. 🙌🏻 Let’s Connect 📱 Instagram: @fit.habit.emma [https://instagram.com/fit.habit.emma]🌐 Website: www.fithabit.club [https://fithabit.club/]🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode!

🎙️ Episode 132: What’s Actually Normal? Stop Letting Doctors Gaslight You

You’ve probably been told at some point that what you’re feeling is “normal.” You’re bloated every day.You’re exhausted every morning.You wake up throughout the night.You crash every afternoon.Your recovery sucks.Your libido is gone.Your digestion is unpredictable.Your stress feels harder to manage than it used to. And maybe someone told you, “That’s just life,” or “Your labs are normal,” or “You’re fine.” But common does not always mean normal. In this episode, I’m breaking down what healthy biofeedback should actually look like when it comes to: SleepHungerRecoveryEnergyDigestionStressLibido Because these things tell us a lot about what’s going on underneath the surface. This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt like something was off in your body but you couldn’t quite explain it — or you’ve been told to ignore symptoms that are clearly impacting your life. You’re not crazy.Your symptoms are valid.And your body is probably trying to tell you something. 🙌🏻 Let’s Connect 📱 Instagram: @fit.habit.emma [https://instagram.com/fit.habit.emma]🌐 Website: www.fithabit.club [https://fithabit.club/]🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode!

🎙️ Episode 131: How to Lose 10lbs of Body Fat in 10 Weeks

Losing 10lbs of body fat in 10 weeks is possible… But only if your body is actually in a place to respond. This episode is not about slashing calories, adding endless cardio, or white-knuckling your way through another miserable diet. It’s about how to run a smart, strategic fat loss phase so you can get in, get out, maintain muscle, keep your metabolism healthy, and avoid rebounding afterward. In this episode, I break down: * Why you may need a build or maintenance phase before dieting * How to know if your body is ready for fat loss * Why knowing your maintenance calories matters * How I’d set calories, protein, steps, and cardio * Why strength training is non-negotiable * How to use the scale without obsessing over it * What to do when progress stalls * How to reverse diet out of a fat loss phase and maintain your results Because fat loss is not just about eating less. It’s about having a plan, using data, making educated adjustments, and respecting your body enough to not live in a deficit forever. ⚠️ This is not a crash diet.It’s a 10-week strategy for people who want results without wrecking their hormones, metabolism, performance, or relationship with food. 🙌🏻 Let’s Connect 📱 Instagram: @fit.habit.emma [https://instagram.com/fit.habit.emma]🌐 Website: www.fithabit.club [https://fithabit.club/]🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode!

🎙️ Episode 130: What Coaching With Me Actually Looks Like

Have you ever wondered what online coaching actually includes? Not just “here are your macros” or “here’s a workout plan”... But what does the process actually look like? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I coach, why I coach online, and what working together with me actually looks like. Because coaching should never be one-size-fits-all. Your plan should be built around your goals, your lifestyle, your stress, your training experience, your digestion, your schedule, your preferences, and what you can realistically execute consistently. In this episode, I break down: * What happens before we start working together * Why I ask so many questions on discovery calls * How I personalize training and nutrition plans * Why I don’t just hand out macros without seeing your current habits first * How tracking builds awareness and creates faster results * Why form videos are such a valuable part of online coaching * What check-ins, messaging, daily texts, and group calls look like * How functional health, labs, gut health, hormones, and lifestyle factors can play into the process * Why online coaching can be so powerful for the other 23 hours of your day ⚠️ This isn’t about giving you a random meal plan and workouts and hoping you figure it out. It’s about education, accountability, personalization, and helping you build a lifestyle that actually supports your goals. If you’ve been curious about coaching, this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look at what working with me actually looks like. 🙌🏻 Let’s Connect 📱 Instagram: @fit.habit.emma [https://instagram.com/fit.habit.emma]🌐 Website: www.fithabit.club [https://fithabit.club/]🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
