• 185. Moving Vs. Training: The Truth About Body Recomp and RPE

  Let’s talk about a question I hear a lot: “Am I training hard enough?”The answer? Probably not…especially if you’re not seeing the results you’re working for (i.e. if your goal is body recomp)!This isn’t about being extreme or living in the gym, BUT…if you’re just moving your body without a plan and calling it “training,” you’re definitely selling yourself short!Your body adapts to what you consistently do. If you want change, you’ve GOTTA challenge it (I love using RPE as a tool to do just that). No more winging it, sticking with the same 10 lb. dumbbells for several months, or walking out of your workout with energy to spare!This episode is your no-BS wake-up call to stop going through the motions and start showing TF UP with purpose. If you’re stuck in a plateau, questioning your workouts, or wondering why you’re not seeing changes, it’s time to do something different!!In this episode, we cover:The REAL difference between moving your body & training with purposeSigns that you’re not training hard enoughUsing RPE (rate of perceived exertion) to check in & push your limitsHow you can progress your weightlifting over timeLinks/Resources:Join IT GIRL Community Membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

• 183. How Sprinting Can Boost Your Fitness Routine (Even When You’re Not a Runner)

  Lately, I’ve been bringing something back into my routine that I haven’t done much of in years… SPRINTING!Nope - not distance running or marathons, but good old-fashioned, short bursts of speed. I used to LOVE running back in the day! These days, I’m all about doing what feels good and supports MY body. Right now, that looks like sprinting (along with my regular lifting workouts).Here’s the thing - what worked in your 20s probably won’t work in your 30s, and what worked in your 30s, won’t cut it in your 40s. As we evolve, so do our routines. Sprinting is simple, free, AND time-efficient (we can all use more of that, right?!)It doesn’t have to be a whole “thing” that feels complicated and stresses you out - just get outside and move your body!Listen to your body, find a pace that feels good, and have FUN with it. I’d love to hear how you feel when you add sprinting to your fitness routine!!In this episode, we cover:My real thoughts on running (and why I’m not trying to be a “runner”)Why your health routine has to evolve as you ageSimple ways to add sprinting or jogging into your daily lifeHow HIIT training supports your health goalsWhat the EPOC effect is + why it matters for fat lossLinks/Resources:Ep. 181 | You’re Not Too Busy: Stop Complaining & Start TrainingLink for weighted vestJoin IT GIRL Community Membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

  Today’s episode is a special one, because I’m celebrating my 44th birthday right after this releases!Honestly…it still feels unbelievable that I’m in my 40s, and these last few years have been interesting (to say the least)!Life has thrown me some curveballs in 2025, from dealing with high blood pressure and sickness at the beginning of the year, to navigating the wild, WILD west that is perimenopause. Even with all of this going on, I’m choosing to embrace the chaos and focusing on what I CAN control. I have no problem pivoting when I need to, and you shouldn’t, either!Moving forward, I plan to be super intentional and present with my body and health, and what I truly need.
