Feeling paralyzed by conflicting fitness advice and diet trends? You're not alone. This episode cuts through the noise with a refreshingly simple approach to wellness that will have you taking action today.

The fitness industry thrives on complexity, but I'm here to bring it back to basics. Starting your wellness journey doesn't require fancy equipment or hours in the gym—it can begin with just three minutes a day focused on a single muscle group. The key insight? Action creates motivation, not the other way around. Once you begin moving, even in small ways, the motivation naturally follows as you experience increased energy and see physical changes.

When it comes to nutrition, I don't advocate for any single approach. Your body is unique, and learning to listen to its signals is more valuable than following the latest trend. This might mean experimenting with an elimination diet to identify what's causing bloating or fatigue, or focusing on gut health as the foundation of your wellness. For those wanting personalized guidance, I offer free weekly health coaching sessions for my Plexus customers.

Beyond wellness advice, I'm thrilled to announce two exciting developments: our new Spandex and Wine merchandise line featuring comfortable, stylish apparel, and the launch of our VIP Lounge membership. For just $12 monthly, the membership gives you access to exclusive recipes, wellness tips, behind-the-scenes content, and monthly group calls where we can connect and support each other. This is wellness made simple, enjoyable, and community-focused.

Hey friends, welcome back to the show. Today's episode is packed with three juicy segments that I know you're going to love. First, we're tackling the confusion that so many of us feel when it comes to exercise and diet, because, let's be honest, the internet can be a lot. Then I've got something super fun to share spandex and wine merchandise, and if you haven't seen it yet, you're in for a treat. And then, finally, I've been dreaming this up for a while and it's finally here. So stay tuned to hear about my new membership. I am beyond excited to tell you all about it. So let's dive in. Hello and welcome to the Spandex and Wine podcast. I'm your host, robin Hackney, and I'm so happy that you're here.

Speaker 1: 0:49

This podcast is a place for conversations about balancing a healthy lifestyle and being happy. More specifically, happy hour. Together we'll explore all things wellness and wine. I hope you learn a little, laugh a lot and, along the way, know you're not alone on this balanced wellness journey. Ready to jump in? Pour something in your glass that makes you happy, because it's time for Spandex and Wine.

Speaker 1: 1:15

All right, so let's talk about health and fitness and confusion. How many times have you gone online and you've seen an influencer doing something wild and thought, okay, I guess I need to try that, and maybe you even bought the equipment. You started the program and then you saw someone else doing something totally different and now you're questioning everything. It is overwhelming and the truth is it does not have to be that complicated. Here's what I recommend. Okay, ready, ready for this. You might get a piece of paper. Just start, seriously, start small. So maybe you're going to just pick a muscle group a day. Maybe on Monday you'll do 30 seconds of bicep curls followed by 30 seconds of rest, and you're going to repeat that three times. Just start with three sets. You guys, that's three minutes. And then Tuesday maybe you're going to do chest press with the same 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off, and then just do that throughout the week. So, keep it simple and focus on just what you can accomplish in that day, starting slow and, most importantly, make it work for you and make it be fun. You guys, I get that exercise can feel daunting, and when you're just starting, for sure, but action creates motivation. A lot of people think it's the other way around I'm just not motivated, I need to get motivated and then I'll start. Nope, it is when you start, motivation will follow, you'll begin to feel more energy, you'll see changes and the momentum will build, promise you. I promise you trust me on this.

Speaker 1: 2:52

And as far as nutrition, oh gosh, there are so many opinions out there. You'll hear plant-based, you'll hear carnivore, you'll hear everything in between, and you're gonna hear that on the podcast. Here too. I'm not saying that one is better than the other. I'm not saying that there's a cookie cutter plan, because there is not. I don't push one approach. I encourage listening to your body, and I know when you hear that you can be like okay, what does that really mean? It might mean that you need to try an elimination diet so you can figure out what's causing the bloating or the fatigue. And you know how I feel about gut health. If you don't, you haven't been listening. It is the foundation.

Speaker 1: 3:34

If you're not sure where to start, I would love to be your health coach. And if you're already one of my Plexus customers and focusing on your gut health, guess what? Your health coaching is free. You get a free weekly session. You've received that link and if you lost it, please let me know.

Speaker 1: 4:07

Okay, so? Spandex and wine merchandise, goodness gracious, so fun. All right, so it's officially here. I shared it in my private Facebook group and I'll be sending out an email with all the details as well. So this month I am putting out tank tops, t-shirts and those really cute three-quarter sleeve style baseball shirts. They're comfy, they're cute and totally you. The t-shirt is just a unisex. The tank top, I mean, it's just for women. I guess guys could wear it too. It's just more of a female cut. And then the three-quarter sleeve can is unisex as well. So be the first to wear the garb and rep your spandex and wine pride. I'll be switching things up periodically.

Speaker 1: 4:56

So this is just the beginning. You can start collecting your favorite items, and when you wear it, you're not just rocking fun fitness fashion, you're supporting a small business with a big heart. So wear it proudly, share it with your friends and tag me when you do. I would love for you to take a picture with your shirt, your tank top, whatever it is that month that I am offering Tag me personally, tag Spandex and Wine. That would be amazing. I would love to see you in your garb.

Speaker 1: 5:27
