Welcome to Day 7 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series! Today we’re talking about something many women struggle to embrace- recovery- and why it’s not time off, but a critical part of your training plan. If you’ve ever felt guilty taking a rest day, worried you’d lose progress, or thought you had to be sore or exhausted for a workout to “count,” this episode is for you. Casey breaks down why recovery matters more after 40, especially during high-stress seasons like the holidays, and how intentional recovery actually supports strength, energy, and fat loss. In this short episode, you’ll learn how to use recovery strategically so you can stay consistent, avoid burnout, and feel better in your body-without feeling like you’re falling behind. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why recovery becomes more important as we age How stress and lack of recovery can stall progress What actually counts as recovery (and why it matters) How to let go of guilt around rest days A simple way to schedule recovery with intention Recovery isn’t a step backward- it’s how your body gets stronger.

Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series! Today we’re talking about why strength training deserves a spot in your routine even more during the busy holiday season- and why doing less can actually be the smartest strategy right now. If December has you thinking, “If I can’t get all my workouts in, what’s the point?” this episode is for you. Casey breaks down why protecting muscle and momentum matters more than chasing perfection, especially for women over 40. You’ll learn why committing to just two short strength workouts can help maintain muscle, support metabolism, and make January feel like a continuation-not a restart. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why women tend to skip strength training in December How muscle supports fat loss, energy, and confidence after 40 Why 2 workouts is better than aiming for 3–4 and quitting What short, effective strength sessions can look like The mindset shift that keeps momentum going through the holidays December isn’t about pushing harder- it’s about staying connected to your strength.

Welcome to Day 3 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series! Today we’re focusing on one of the simplest habits you can use to reduce stress, boost energy, and improve consistency during the holiday season: walk before you scroll. Before the emails, the notifications, and the morning chaos, giving your body just a few minutes of movement can completely change the tone of your day. This episode breaks down why morning movement matters-especially for women over 40-and how even a short walk can help improve mood, focus, and appetite regulation. This isn’t about adding another workout to your schedule. It’s about starting your day with intention instead of overwhelm. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why scrolling first thing in the morning increases stress How a short walk supports energy and mindset Simple ways to make morning movement realistic How this habit helps you make better choices all day long Five minutes. No pressure. Big impact.

Today we’re talking about the simplest nutrition shift that makes every holiday meal, party, and treat feel easier to navigate: protein first, treats second. This isn’t about restriction.

In this short episode, Casey breaks down why women over 40 benefit so much from this approach, how to make it practical during a busy season, and how this one tiny rule can help you feel more in control of your choices- without giving up the foods you love. In this episode: Why protein is especially important during the holiday season How protein helps curb cravings and stabilize energy Real-life protein ideas you can use before meals or events The mindset shift that lets you enjoy treats guilt-free A small shift in the order you eat can create a big shift in how you feel.
