Hayley Canova is a mother of five, fitness enthusiast, and the author of Focus on Fitness, Not Thinness. In this episode of The Nerd Nexus, Hayley shares her journey from a teenager learning about health and exercise to becoming a published author determined to help others build sustainable habits.
We dive into the difference between chasing thinness and pursuing true fitness, how to eat healthier without falling into restrictive diets, why strength training matters more than many people realize, and practical ways to fit exercise into a busy life. Along the way, we discuss Crumbl cookies, family fitness, marathon running, the famous Five-Minute Rule, and why the scale isn't always the best measure of success.
Whether you're trying to lose weight, gain confidence, build healthier habits, or simply find a realistic approach to fitness, this conversation is packed with encouragement and actionable advice.
Hayley's book, Focus on Fitness, Not Thinness, is available on Amazon, and you can find her online at Healthy by Hay and Focus on Fitness, Not Thinness.
