BIG SIS ENERGY

Athletic vs Aesthetic

Makenzie and Malia Season 2 Episode 6

Let’s talk fitness… On this episode of Big Sis Energy, we’re shifting the focus from aesthetic goals to athletic ones and unpacking why getting strong (physically and mentally) is the real flex!

From navigating gym anxiety and toxic fitness trends to redefining what progress actually looks like, we’re talking about how to train for you—not for the highlight reel. Because spoiler: strength is sexy, sustainable, and way more empowering than fitting into someone else’s body goals.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• How our fitness goals have evolved over the years (and why that’s a good thing)

• The pressure on women to train for looks over longevity, and why are women's body types trends???! 

• Our real thoughts on Pilates, cardio, weightlifting, and fitness trends blowing up online. And how we workout for what our body currently needs!

• Gym anxiety, “no days off” culture, and breaking up with toxic workout mindsets

• Celebrating wins like PRs, mental health boosts, and actually feeling good

• How to stop comparing yourself in a world of social media and always looking “picture perfect”.

Plus, we play a rapid-fire game of Keep It or Toss It: Fitness Edition and answer anonymous listener questions about comparison, gym confidence, and dealing with unsolicited body comments.
