[00:00:00] Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of the Health Movement Podcast. If you're listening to the audio version and want to jump over to the YouTube channel after you finish this, you certainly can. It's the Health Movement Podcast on YouTube. Without any further ado, enjoy the show.

[00:00:21] Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of the Health Movement Podcast. I am Derek, two-sport collegiate athlete, certified personal trainer and a teacher of over 20 years.

[00:00:32] I'm Tim, I'm a certified athletic trainer and a nationally registered EMT slash wellness coach.

[00:00:38] There you go. And with us today we have another guest, they just keep rolling in and this one is equally as awesome as all the rest. We have Lindsay Hassay with us. Did I pronounce that correctly after we went through it beforehand?

[00:00:51] Okay, as we were saying it I'm like, uh oh, I messed it up. But good, I'm glad I didn't. Lindsay, welcome to the show.

[00:00:57] Thank you for having me. I'm super excited for this opportunity.

[00:01:00] Awesome, awesome. Well, we um, we talked a little bit beforehand and it seems like there is a wide range of things that you are excited to talk about. I didn't know if there's anything in particular you wanted to start with.

[00:01:13] Um, or I can just dive in with a few questions.

[00:01:16] Let's dive in. Yeah, nothing specific at all. Yeah, just go.

[00:01:20] Okay, I did see and this is just because we have uh, Thanksgiving coming up in a couple days. This is recording the Monday before Thanksgiving. And I did see you had the Thanksgiving survival guide on your Instagram feed there.

[00:01:34] Uh, can you, can you give us that, that little survival guide or what you remember off the top of your head?

[00:01:40] Absolutely, yeah. It was meant to just be kind of fun and playful and relative to like the week of Thanksgiving.

[00:01:45] Um, I think a lot of people put a lot of stress on themselves and into the week and you know, you just shouldn't.

[00:01:51] Um, it's meant to be a week of thanks, a week of, you know, food, thanks, fun, you know.

[00:01:57] Um, so I put that with the intention of like, how to just, how to survive Thanksgiving Day essentially.

[00:02:04] Like, you spend a lot of time with your family, you eat a lot. Like, how do you get through that? You know, a lot of people will like fast that whole day.

[00:02:12] Like, oh, I'm just gonna save up for dinner. You know what I mean? Do not do that. Eat a light breakfast. You know, it'll get your metabolism going, that kind of thing.

[00:02:19] Yeah.

[00:02:19] You don't restrict just to, you know, have a big meal later or whatever. Um, and then yeah, stay hydrated is super important. I mean, cause you're gonna be eating a lot of salty foods and high carb foods.

[00:02:31] And so staying hydrated is just important to keep everything kind of digestion going, you know, that's kind of important with all the stuff you're eating. Um, and then yeah, heavy on the walks, like the walks, get you away from the family. You know, you spend a lot of time.

[00:02:44] Well, you're allowed to do them with the family too. That's also an option.

[00:02:49] That's very true too. Yeah. For the folks that don't have it as easy as maybe we do, who do love spending a lot of time with our family. Well, and you know, it can be overstimulating too. You know what I mean? Even with just the smoke.

[00:03:00] You know, there's cause it suddenly put a lot of pressure on yourself. Um, so yeah, it was meant to just be kind of like a playful, like, Hey, don't, um, don't restrict yourself. Um, and enjoy the week. And then yeah, if you need to get out from your family, take a walk, it helps with digestion. You know, it's a win-win.

[00:03:22] We'll see. Uh, it might be snowing up here on Thanksgiving, so we don't, I don't know. It'll be walking weather up here. Yeah. Oh, Lindsay, where are you? I forgot to ask.

[00:03:32] I'm in Columbus, Columbus, Ohio. Oh, okay. Ohio. Yeah. I love Columbus. It's a great city. It's fun.

[00:03:40] Are you guys a big, um, Browns fans over there? Are you Bengals fans?

[00:03:46] Well, so my husband, uh, grew up in Parma, Cleveland. So he is everything Cleveland for short diehard. Um, and then I grew up in Dayton.

[00:03:54] So we are basically Cincinnati fans. Um, the black, the Browns didn't come on a lot in Cincinnati or in Dayton, I should say. Um, so then him and I kind of met here and, um, I've kind of grown to love the Browns. Um, I feel for them as fans, you know, um, a little, um, but they are, they are so in love with their city and in love with their sport, um, and in love with their team.

[00:04:23] And like, I have never seen such devoted fans. Like they go through, you know, misery every year.

[00:04:30] Oh, absolutely. Um, you gotta appreciate it.

[00:04:33] You guys even had a movie where the Browns were the focus of it draft day with Kevin Costner. I don't know if that's a fan favorite.

[00:04:41] Yeah. Fantastic movie. But of course it's all about every year. They're thinking it's the year and the, you know, optimism is high.

[00:04:48] And then you get there's a, there's a bigger game in Columbus this weekend anyways. Right. It's, uh,

[00:04:56] Yes, that's right. You guys know. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:05:01] We're, uh, we're, we're Patriots fans. So, uh, we have probably the most famous Michigan alum, uh, as, as our, uh, as our quarterback, but it's all right.

[00:05:10] I've always been, so is that where your dedication lies? No, I've always, I've always been an Ohio state fan. So, uh, so I'm a big, I'm a big Buckeyes fan. So I love that. That's so am I.

[00:05:21] I love that. So am I. They, uh, it's, it's the Michigan rivalry has kind of became interesting over the few years. So we'll see what happens.

[00:05:30] Yeah. Last, I mean, up until last year, it was pretty one-sided, but, uh, it should be, it should be an ass whooping this weekend. Sorry, Derek, but.

[00:05:39] No, you're good, buddy. We'll, we'll allow that one in there.

[00:05:42] No, I swear to you.

[00:05:44] So Lindsay, um, I've seen on your Instagram, there's a lot of, of fitness content in there where you're, you're doing a great job coaching and giving a lot of information to, to your followers. Is, is that something you've been doing for a while? Is it more recent for you that you got into the fitness world?

[00:06:03] Yeah, great question. Um, I really started going full force with it probably a year ago. Um, and I've seen a little bit of growth,

[00:06:11] but you know, it's, as you know, starting something from the ground up is a grind and you know, as long as you believe in yourself, it's, it's going to go somewhere eventually, you know? Um, but yeah,

[00:06:22] fitness really became my passion. Um, that's really where I found my passion. And so that's, I really wanted to kind of just like shine that light onto others as well. Cause it really brought me out of a bad place.

[00:06:33] Um, so like I said, I've, I've pretty much always lived an active lifestyle with some kind of lulls in between, you know, due to life. Um, but I had my daughter in 2009 and that's really when I hit it hard. Um, I had gained a lot of weight with her and had some postpartum problems. Like I know I watched yours with, um, Sam coops.

[00:06:55] Yeah. So, you know, a lot of, like she said, it's the postpartum thing is really not talked about a lot and that hit me hard too. Um, and I just started, I honestly just started walking.

[00:07:06] I went to the gym and started walking on the treadmill. Um, cause I was inexperienced and I would kind of watch the other girls like lift the weights and stuff. And I'm like, Oh, I want to do that.

[00:07:15] So we really just started with like walking at the gym and then that kind of piqued my interest. I'm like, okay, I want to start strength training. So I started strength training. Um, and I did that for a really long time. Um, and then recently found Pilates, which has transformed, um, not only my mind, but my body too. Um, I mean, I had seen really good success with weightlifting, but it's, it's different. Um, it kind of just makes you, um, inflamed almost.

[00:07:45] Almost a little, but where Pilates is more like a long, lean, um, toned look, if you will. Um, and then what it does mentally to you is, um, I would recommend it to, to any woman and you don't even have to go to a studio. You can look up videos on YouTube or, um, you know, there's fitness apps and all that, that you can, you know, so it's really like an, there's no excuse type of thing with me, you know, like there's, you can,

[00:08:15] if you have 30 minutes in your day, you can find, um, find something. Um, and I guess that's really what I try to preach is like making fitness and food fun. You can achieve your goals. Um, having, you know, having fun workouts. It doesn't have to be something you hate. Um, and you can eat fun food while achieving goals. And that's really what I want to preach, um,

[00:08:38] um, to women, to moms, to anyone really, um, that you can change your life. You can change your body. You can change all of those things through fitness, um, and food. Um, and it doesn't have to be chicken, broccoli, rice every single day. Um, yeah. So that's,

[00:08:56] that's, that's what I preach, you know, fun and, um, balance over restriction. You know, you don't have to restrict yourself of anything. So I think that's good, especially where I'm off track a little, but no, no, that was, that's right on track. And you, you had mentioned the, um, you know, it, it takes a while once you get going and, and it's a slow progression, but if, if the goal is overall longevity,

[00:09:25] longevity and, and better health and better fitness, that's a lifelong journey. So it's not something that's completed in six months and you have to, you know, give yourself a deadline. And if you're not there, you failed. If you're a little better every day or you learn something new or you can teach something to somebody else, that makes a huge difference right there.

[00:09:45] Absolutely. And that is my goal. Like if I can motivate any, anybody to like, want to get in the gym that day, if they're not feeling like it to maybe want to prep some healthy food to, you know,

[00:09:55] whatever it is like, that's, that's my goal. Cause I mean, it, it is, it's, it's, I think it's done more for me mentally than anything. You know, obviously you can, you know, sculpt your body in any kind of way that you want with weights, but what it's done for me mentally is, I mean, cause if you have the dedication to go every day and put your mind to that, then you can handle other things that come at you.

[00:10:19] It shows you discipline. It shows you regimen, shows you punctuality, you know, so many things. So a lot can come. And that's when I love, I love seeing the younger kids get in the gym too, because I'm like, yes, like you're starting, you know, cause I think of myself at that age. I'm like, that was the farthest place that I was at, you know? Um, which is why I'm so glad I found it later in life. Cause it's, you know, it's never too late, but I love seeing the young kids in there. Cause it's like, yes, you could be running amok out here, you know, and you are exactly where you need to be.

[00:10:48] Um, because with, you know, the passion for the gym and fitness comes so many other things in life that, you know, you can grow from, you know, it's wonderful.

[00:10:58] Yeah. It's a good foundation. I like the way you talk about the progression of just showing up every day and walking on the treadmill and then progressing to, you know, strength or resisting training.

[00:11:11] And that, you know, just, just showing up and moving your body and, and starting somewhere, you know, everybody has to start somewhere.

[00:11:19] Um, and walking, walking is probably one of the best activities you could do for your body. You know what I mean?

[00:11:27] And, um, I always, I always see people that I think should be walking before they're running.

[00:11:35] Um, you know, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, it's, it sounds funny, but it sounds funny, but it's, um, you know, as far as things that can lead you down the path of, of hurting yourself is,

[00:11:53] is doing something to before you should be doing it and laying that groundwork with, um, with the, with the walking and the, you know, the strength training and then leading into running or jogging or, um, you know, I think those are, those are progressions where some people.

[00:12:12] And the other piece of that is like, you don't need any directions to show up and walk, right?

[00:12:17] Like you don't need the, uh, um, the experience or it's something you can do as a novice, uh, novice gym goer.

[00:12:25] And it, it gets you in the door and it gets you used to the environment.

[00:12:29] And, and then you're talking about, you know, you're talking about younger kids too.

[00:12:33] And if, if you've got a daughter, if you've got kids and then they see you doing it and then it creates a habit for, or an example for them.

[00:12:41] I mean, Derek, uh, Derek and I both have kids and it's, you know, it's something where, um, we, we're trying to set an example and also be able to keep up with them.

[00:12:54] You know, it's, it's, it's another thing for me.

[00:12:59] We were training, he had soccer tryouts.

[00:13:01] So we went running on the track together and we did some laps first to warm up my old bones.

[00:13:07] And we were running hundreds and it was like 80%.

[00:13:11] And then he's like, all right, let's go all out.

[00:13:14] And it was, I kept up the first like 40 or 50.

[00:13:18] And then I started feeling the hamstrings tighten and everything else.

[00:13:22] And then he just took off.

[00:13:23] And I was like, all right, I gotta, I gotta concede here.

[00:13:26] He's faster.

[00:13:27] I'm still stronger for now.

[00:13:29] That'll, that'll be another year or two.

[00:13:30] And then it'll pass me on that one.

[00:13:32] He's got more hair.

[00:13:34] No, maybe he's got it all.

[00:13:36] Maybe early twenties, you know, maybe early twenties.

[00:13:39] Yeah.

[00:13:39] Early twenties.

[00:13:40] Yeah.

[00:13:40] I got a few more years.

[00:13:41] He's still got some time to catch up.

[00:13:43] Well, I think that's such an important part of it too, is, is the progression.

[00:13:47] Um, because you do, you see people that just go straight for, we call it in the fitness

[00:13:52] world, ego lifting.

[00:13:53] They're just, you know, their form is absolutely terrible, but they're going for it anyway.

[00:13:57] You know, that's the closest way.

[00:13:59] The fastest way to injury is just, you know, doing what you cannot do faster than, you

[00:14:04] know, like you said, putting the cart before the horse, so to speak.

[00:14:07] Um, it is, it's like lifting what you can't do if your body's not ready for you.

[00:14:11] That's just, you know, you don't want it.

[00:14:13] That's you want to have health longevity.

[00:14:16] That's what we do this for, you know, is to, to, to run around with the little ones and

[00:14:21] the grandkids and the great grandkids and et cetera, you know?

[00:14:24] So you don't want to constantly be, I mean, I always think of Ronnie Coleman.

[00:14:28] He was, you know, top bodybuilder and was injured from like, I think he slipped a disc

[00:14:34] in his back or something.

[00:14:35] I don't want to be quoted on that, but I think he slipped a disc or something in his back

[00:14:38] and continued to train.

[00:14:40] Um, and now he, you know, is out for good.

[00:14:43] Um, and it's like, yeah, like let's, let's start slow, you know?

[00:14:47] And I would give any beginner that advice to start slow, start with just showing up and

[00:14:51] walking, you know, don't think you have to be a runner, a lifter, a Pilates girl, a

[00:14:55] meal prepper, you know, don't do it all at once.

[00:14:58] Just start, just show up and start, you know?

[00:15:02] Yeah.

[00:15:02] And have a, have a holistic approach too.

[00:15:04] You know, you got to focus on your mobility and you've got to focus on, um, your insufficiencies

[00:15:09] and the areas that you're not, I think everybody like, and I've said this before on here, but

[00:15:14] everybody likes to work on the things that they're good at or the strengths, but it's

[00:15:19] really working on your weaknesses and insufficiencies that are going to keep you healthy and keep

[00:15:22] you doing the things you want to do.

[00:15:25] It's so true.

[00:15:26] Vitamins, supplements, that all plays a big factor too.

[00:15:29] Cause that's, you know, our food is just so like, it's stripped of all nutrients, you

[00:15:33] know, um, it used to be good for us.

[00:15:35] It's not anymore.

[00:15:36] You know, I could go on and on about that forever, but yeah.

[00:15:38] Well, do you, high in sugar, high in fat, you know, Lindsay, do you track your food

[00:15:43] ever?

[00:15:43] If you use like a tracking app or do you do that?

[00:15:47] Um, or have you in the past?

[00:15:49] Yes and no.

[00:15:50] Yeah.

[00:15:50] Yes and no.

[00:15:51] I swear by them.

[00:15:52] Absolutely.

[00:15:53] I tracked for a while.

[00:15:55] Um, I, I do it loosely now.

[00:15:58] Like if I have a specific goal, I will track.

[00:16:01] And I think that like my fitness pal and those are revolutionary.

[00:16:04] I really do.

[00:16:06] Um, so I loosely track now because I'm, I'm really, I'm kind of at a maintenance a little

[00:16:11] bit right now.

[00:16:12] So I'm, I'm happy with where I'm at and I've done it for a while that I can kind of, I can

[00:16:16] kind of eat intuitively and know where I'm.

[00:16:19] Yeah.

[00:16:20] Yeah.

[00:16:20] You don't have to do it forever.

[00:16:22] Once you do it enough, you can kind of understand the portions, but I saw an ad or something

[00:16:27] for, uh, I don't mean to sound like such an old man right now, but where it takes a picture

[00:16:32] of the food and it, um, it can like, you can take a picture of your whole meal and it

[00:16:37] will tell you everything in there.

[00:16:38] And it's not a hundred percent accurate all the time.

[00:16:41] Uh, I downloaded it and took a picture of a sweet potato tonight and it told me it was

[00:16:45] a mango.

[00:16:45] So I had to adjust the camera angle a little bit.

[00:16:48] Like, no, that's not what that is.

[00:16:50] Um, but it was full proof, right?

[00:16:54] Yeah, it's not full proof, but I, I looked into, into just tracking food and apparently

[00:17:00] people aren't very good at it either, unless you specifically weighing out everything.

[00:17:05] And then, um, I saw the FDA allows, and maybe you guys already knew this.

[00:17:11] I didn't.

[00:17:11] The FDA allows a 20% variance on nutrition labels, so they can be off by 20% and that's okay in

[00:17:19] their mind.

[00:17:20] Um, so who knows if it's not whole foods, if you're getting something out of a carton or

[00:17:26] out of a package, like you do the best you can, but you know, that's that, I guess we,

[00:17:31] we say shop the perimeter, produce, the meats, that the frozen, frozen veggies, that sort

[00:17:36] of thing.

[00:17:37] And I guess if you do most of your food there, if you, you know, 15, 20% of your food is

[00:17:42] packaged, uh, stuff, then if it's off by 20%, it's not a huge deal, but it was just a little

[00:17:48] eyeopening when I saw that.

[00:17:50] I mean, it makes you think like, what else are they lying to us about?

[00:17:54] You know?

[00:17:55] Yeah, I don't, I don't know.

[00:17:57] We'll see.

[00:17:58] We'll see.

[00:17:58] But that is, that's a great, that's a great tip as well for beginners shop the perimeter,

[00:18:03] you know, cause that's where you're going to find your produce, your dairy, your meats,

[00:18:05] stuff like that.

[00:18:06] That's a great tip.

[00:18:07] Um, the only thing that I say too, is like, there's certain like pastas and rice and stuff

[00:18:12] like that, that you can find in the middle aisle.

[00:18:14] That's okay.

[00:18:15] But you know, you just have to know like anything in the cereal aisle is probably gonna, you

[00:18:19] probably want to stay away from anything in the kitchen.

[00:18:23] Yeah.

[00:18:23] Check your ingredients labels.

[00:18:25] You know, that's, that's the biggest thing.

[00:18:26] Like, like the calories and stuff are different, but you know, if your ingredients have a whole,

[00:18:32] whole ingredients and you know, it's not a 12 letter alphabet soup, um, that you can't

[00:18:38] pronounce, then it's, you know, it's probably okay.

[00:18:40] You know what I mean?

[00:18:41] It's, um, you know, and that's the, those are the kinds of things that, and again, it's,

[00:18:47] it's just knowing what to look for reading the labels.

[00:18:50] I think that's the start is like, if you're going to be looking in those areas, like you

[00:18:55] need to find the, find the sources of, of things that do have the natural, um, whole ingredients

[00:19:03] versus, you know, all the, the chemicals and all the processed stuff that, uh, that that's

[00:19:08] not so great for you.

[00:19:09] So, um, but you know, I think those are the big things is, is just getting people to be

[00:19:17] aware about those things and start thinking about what's going, you know, what you're putting

[00:19:21] in your body and, um, and, and, you know, it's a lot of what we said on here before, but those

[00:19:27] are, those are big pieces that I think it's, it's so foundation that that's where your foundations

[00:19:33] start.

[00:19:34] And then you're, you know, you're going from, you know, building off of that too.

[00:19:39] I did see, I did see something that looked awesome.

[00:19:43] And I know Thanksgiving is coming up and we all get leftovers and this is not really related,

[00:19:48] but we were talking about food and maybe think of it, but they took a, um, uh, a muffin tin

[00:19:54] and laid out a pie crust on top of it and like pushing it in all the tins, then took all the

[00:20:00] leftovers and made little like turkey bombs with all the other stuff in it, put another one on top

[00:20:05] and folded it up.

[00:20:07] It looked so good.

[00:20:09] And most of that's whole food too.

[00:20:11] You know, if you figure you got your turkey and your corn and everything else in there.

[00:20:15] So Tim, I think you guys should do that afterwards and let me know how it is.

[00:20:20] I'm pretty hyped.

[00:20:21] This is my, this is my favorite holiday.

[00:20:23] It's, uh, it's, uh, this it's Thanksgiving and, uh, Thanksgiving and, uh, 4th of July are my two,

[00:20:30] but mostly because of the food, you know, that's right.

[00:20:33] That's yes.

[00:20:34] You get to wear sweatpants and you're good to go or just bring them with you.

[00:20:39] Yeah.

[00:20:39] Well, we're hosting.

[00:20:40] So it's, uh, yeah, that's right.

[00:20:42] So you can just run up and get them and then show them off to everybody else who still has

[00:20:46] their khakis on.

[00:20:47] Yeah.

[00:20:48] I'll wear my baby Yoda Christmas Janies.

[00:20:50] That's what I'm wearing right now.

[00:20:53] I love that.

[00:20:54] I love that.

[00:20:55] Do you, um,

[00:20:56] I'm super excited.

[00:20:58] Lindsay, I saw you did something.

[00:20:59] Um, I think you said in your, in your reels that Sundays are your meal prep days.

[00:21:04] Yeah.

[00:21:05] Uh, do you have any go-tos things that you love or do you try to vary it up a little or

[00:21:10] combination of both?

[00:21:11] Okay.

[00:21:12] Great question.

[00:21:12] So yes and no.

[00:21:13] Um, I have, um, there are some go-tos, but I do try to switch it up because I don't like

[00:21:20] I'm not, you're not going to find my fridge stocked of like seven days worth of a meal.

[00:21:25] I will get sick of it in two days.

[00:21:27] It won't get eaten.

[00:21:28] I can't do the microwaved chicken over and over.

[00:21:32] So I will typically meal prep for like three or four days.

[00:21:34] That'll get us by and then, uh, do it again, maybe until the weekend.

[00:21:38] And then we typically take the weekends off.

[00:21:40] Um, but some favorites.

[00:21:42] Yeah.

[00:21:42] Um, chia seed pudding, which I know it sounds kind of iffy, but it's, it's delicious.

[00:21:48] Um, no judgment, no judgment.

[00:21:50] Yeah, right.

[00:21:51] I mean, no, don't try it until you try it.

[00:21:53] You know what I mean?

[00:21:54] Yeah.

[00:21:54] It's super, super high protein, super high fiber.

[00:21:57] So filling, um, and delicious.

[00:21:59] I mean, it's just like a protein shake that I blend with strawberries and then I add oats

[00:22:03] and chia seeds to it.

[00:22:04] And.

[00:22:05] Oh, I remember seeing that one.

[00:22:06] Yeah.

[00:22:07] That actually looked good.

[00:22:08] That looked really good.

[00:22:09] It's very good.

[00:22:09] And it's got a really good texture and then you can put extra fruit or granola or, you

[00:22:14] know, put some chocolate sauce on there.

[00:22:16] If it, you know, tickles your pickle, you know what I mean?

[00:22:18] Anything like that.

[00:22:19] So anything goes.

[00:22:21] Um, so that's, that's one that I've repeated constantly because it's, it's such a good breakfast.

[00:22:27] It's so filling.

[00:22:28] It takes five seconds to make, um, and that you just set them in the fridge overnight and

[00:22:33] they're ready to go.

[00:22:34] Bing, bing, boom.

[00:22:35] Um, I always have fresh prepped fruit, um, and or veggies.

[00:22:38] Um, so yeah, like fresh pineapple, fresh washed grapes, whatever, anything.

[00:22:44] I, I love fruit.

[00:22:45] Um, so any, anything like that.

[00:22:48] And then I typically will prep lunches.

[00:22:51] Lunches are a big one for us.

[00:22:52] That's a really busy time of day for us.

[00:22:54] And always when we'll tend to grab something out like a sandwich or whatever, because of,

[00:23:01] you know, we're going here and there or whatever.

[00:23:03] So lunch is a big one for me.

[00:23:05] Um, to any tuna salad, chicken salad are perfect.

[00:23:10] Um, it stays in the fridge really well.

[00:23:12] You can plop it on toast, have it on a salad, have it with crackers, um, a croissant.

[00:23:16] It's endless.

[00:23:18] Um, hard boiled eggs are great to prep.

[00:23:20] You can throw them in salads, just eat them whole, whatever.

[00:23:22] They're perfect.

[00:23:23] And people think like you want to do less yolk.

[00:23:27] While that's true from a fat aspect, like the yolk is so nutrient dense.

[00:23:32] Like don't skip out on the yolk unless you are cutting for like a fitness show or something.

[00:23:37] Don't, don't do that.

[00:23:40] You know, get, get yourself that good, the good fats.

[00:23:43] It's good for, it's good for you.

[00:23:44] Um, and so yeah, those are some, those are some ones that re we repeat often, but then

[00:23:51] I'll also do like seasonal ones too.

[00:23:53] Like for, for summer, I'll do more of like a grilled chicken kebab type of thing.

[00:23:57] Whereas like winter fall be more of like a soup or a stew or a roast or something in the

[00:24:03] crock pot or whatever.

[00:24:04] But the options are literally endless, endless.

[00:24:07] Just give me some of your favorite foods and I can give you meal props easily.

[00:24:12] And you have to get a, you've got to get a cookbook out there.

[00:24:16] I'm working on it.

[00:24:17] Actually.

[00:24:18] I have thought about it.

[00:24:19] Oh really?

[00:24:20] Yeah.

[00:24:20] No, it has like, well, I've always wanted to speak on a podcast.

[00:24:23] So check gold cheese.

[00:24:25] Oh, nice.

[00:24:26] Yeah, I know.

[00:24:26] Yay.

[00:24:27] Thank you.

[00:24:27] Thank you.

[00:24:28] Um, and then, yeah, I, I have always loved to cook.

[00:24:32] Um, it's, it's always been kind of big in my family.

[00:24:35] It's, I've, you know, taught my, I'm teaching my kids.

[00:24:39] Um, and I don't know.

[00:24:40] I just, I think I'm one of those ones that like think that you can like give love through

[00:24:44] the kitchen and give love through feeding people.

[00:24:46] And I'm totally one of those people.

[00:24:47] Um, so yeah.

[00:24:49] And then, like I said, and tacos, tacos are such a good meal prep.

[00:24:52] I don't know why I didn't think of that first.

[00:24:54] That's one of my, you can do breakfast, you can do lunch, you can do corn, flour, chicken,

[00:24:59] beef.

[00:25:00] I feel like tacos get a bad rap too.

[00:25:03] Like it, Mexican food gets a bad rap.

[00:25:04] Like you can, you can make it so healthy.

[00:25:07] Like it's, it's, it's insane.

[00:25:09] You know what I mean?

[00:25:10] And it doesn't, I feel like people talk about tacos the same way that they talk about pizza.

[00:25:15] It's like, it's not, no, they're not the same thing, you know?

[00:25:18] Maybe they're thinking of Taco Bell and going in there all the time, but tacos are the way

[00:25:23] Well, I love Taco Bell just like the rest of us.

[00:25:27] There's, I mean, there's nothing better than just like a homemade.

[00:25:29] Aversion, you know?

[00:25:31] Yeah.

[00:25:32] And yeah, use some Greek yogurt as your sour cream and you're good to go.

[00:25:36] You know, it's just loading them.

[00:25:39] That's not necessarily great for you.

[00:25:41] You know, the tortillas aren't bad.

[00:25:43] The meat isn't bad.

[00:25:44] But it's the tomato isn't bad.

[00:25:46] You know?

[00:25:46] Yeah, that's true.

[00:25:47] That's true.

[00:25:48] I've done the Greek yogurt as sour cream for a long time.

[00:25:51] I've never actually tried that.

[00:25:53] I know a lot of people do, but if there isn't anything that's not put onto that yet,

[00:25:57] I'm here to put you onto the thing.

[00:25:59] Yeah, no, I've never heard of that actually.

[00:26:00] So I appreciate that one.

[00:26:02] I'll try that for sure.

[00:26:04] Obviously, you miss a little bit of like the fatty taste of sour cream, but it's so much

[00:26:08] better for you.

[00:26:09] And when you put it on a taco or something, you really can't taste the difference.

[00:26:12] Yeah.

[00:26:12] Unless you're, you know, like having a spoonful, you could probably taste the difference.

[00:26:15] But yeah.

[00:26:15] I don't usually do the spoonful of sour cream.

[00:26:18] Yeah, I wouldn't think anybody does.

[00:26:19] It's not peanut butter, but I get you.

[00:26:21] That's right.

[00:26:22] That's like you could do the whole jar in a sitting, you know?

[00:26:25] Yeah, no, that's true.

[00:26:26] We talked about it on the last one or the one before where I had to stop buying it for

[00:26:30] a little bit because the sandwich turned into like four scoops of peanut butter on top

[00:26:35] of it.

[00:26:35] This wasn't working.

[00:26:38] Well, there's just so many calories.

[00:26:40] Yeah, that's the thing.

[00:26:42] There's not as much protein as people make it out to be in peanut butter.

[00:26:48] It really...

[00:26:49] That's right.

[00:26:50] It's because it's so much more high fat.

[00:26:52] Your fat to protein content is not great.

[00:26:57] It's so calorically dense too.

[00:27:00] It's just like, well, nuts in general, right?

[00:27:03] It's just so good.

[00:27:05] It is.

[00:27:06] It's so good.

[00:27:07] Melt it and drizzle it on ice cream.

[00:27:09] Like, all right.

[00:27:10] Every now and then you need that.

[00:27:12] You absolutely do.

[00:27:13] And I preach that.

[00:27:14] You don't have to give that up.

[00:27:16] No, definitely not.

[00:27:17] Definitely not.

[00:27:18] Nor should you, you know?

[00:27:21] But yeah, so with the peanut butter, it's like, if you can find one with just like peanuts,

[00:27:26] salt, great.

[00:27:27] But when you get into the ones with the oils, that's where like, it just doesn't even

[00:27:30] like taste the same.

[00:27:31] It doesn't sit in your stomach the same.

[00:27:33] The oils are just terrible.

[00:27:34] So yeah, get you one with just peanuts and salt.

[00:27:36] You don't need all the extra stuff.

[00:27:38] No, no, you don't.

[00:27:39] So you were mentioning you love Pilates now.

[00:27:41] Is there something like another activity or like, do you, is there stuff the family loves

[00:27:49] to do too, like hiking or bike riding?

[00:27:51] Or is your family an active family?

[00:27:54] Or is it just you kind of leading the charge?

[00:27:56] Well, it was just me kind of initially.

[00:28:00] Yeah.

[00:28:02] I have recently got my husband working out, which is great.

[00:28:05] I'm so happy for that.

[00:28:07] So he's been in the gym consistently for a few months now.

[00:28:10] So that's, I'm super happy with that.

[00:28:12] And then, yeah, a big part of that was, a big part of my journey was showing my kids, you

[00:28:20] know, living a healthful life, healthy life, you know, working out and whatever that looked

[00:28:26] like to them.

[00:28:27] Like I don't push them to work out or anything.

[00:28:28] I just, I push them to just, you know, have fun and be active.

[00:28:32] Yeah.

[00:28:32] So that is a big part of my life too, is like modeling that for them, a healthy, you know,

[00:28:38] active lifestyle.

[00:28:39] But that said, my daughter was a cheerleader.

[00:28:43] She got injured, unfortunately.

[00:28:46] So she was into tumbling, into gymnastics, into dance, all of the components of cheer.

[00:28:53] I miss being a cheer mom.

[00:28:55] It sucks.

[00:28:55] She had to stop because she really has like back issues now.

[00:28:58] So it's unfortunate, but I loved being a cheer mom.

[00:29:01] Um, my little guy, he's four.

[00:29:03] Um, he has not sat down since he has been born.

[00:29:07] So I'm not really worried about his activity level, not just yet anyway.

[00:29:12] Um, and then, yeah, we, we do, but that said, we always have been an active family together.

[00:29:18] We do love to hike.

[00:29:19] Like Ohio has great hiking weather.

[00:29:21] That's kind of one of the only things to do.

[00:29:24] Um, and then, yeah, uh, my husband has a, a baby seat on the back of his bike and him

[00:29:30] and my little guy, when the weather's nice, they're always going around the back.

[00:29:34] I mean, it's just hilarious, like seeing them, you know, but like you said, you got to find

[00:29:39] the things you enjoy and just get out and move.

[00:29:42] And I, like, I, I know as we get older, our socialization changes, but I was watching the

[00:29:48] kids at recess.

[00:29:50] They just, you know, they don't need anything.

[00:29:52] They just run around and they make up games and they're, they're playing in the wood chips

[00:29:57] in their eye.

[00:29:58] They just play.

[00:29:59] Like imagine seeing a hundred adults just running around playing tag and chasing each other

[00:30:05] in a park.

[00:30:06] Like how hysterical would that be?

[00:30:07] But that's, we don't do that.

[00:30:09] That's why the kids at that age are just, I think overall healthier is because that's

[00:30:15] how they, that's how they interact and have fun.

[00:30:17] You know, so carefree.

[00:30:19] It's so cute.

[00:30:21] You know, um, next time I see you, we're playing tag.

[00:30:24] We'll start that.

[00:30:25] You see those guys who have the, uh, the friends who have the tag game for a month.

[00:30:29] Yeah.

[00:30:30] Yeah.

[00:30:31] We've got to bring that in with the health movement podcast.

[00:30:33] Well, the podcast tag, everybody who's been on, we're just going to show up randomly.

[00:30:38] That'll go over as well as the next poker night.

[00:30:42] I love that.

[00:30:44] But yeah, I think that's super important.

[00:30:46] I would encourage anybody to find like fit.

[00:30:50] People tend to overcomplicate like fitness and nutrition.

[00:30:52] It really is simple.

[00:30:54] Like just move and eat good.

[00:30:56] You know what I mean?

[00:30:56] It really is simple at the end of the day.

[00:30:58] People put a lot of pressure on it, but like I would challenge anybody find something you

[00:31:02] love.

[00:31:03] It does not have to be weightlifting.

[00:31:04] It doesn't have to be on a treadmill, you know, go to the park, go.

[00:31:09] I mean, there's so many things you can do, you know, try a club, try, um, you know,

[00:31:14] the rec center has so many rock climbing.

[00:31:17] Like there's so many different things you can do and you know, you can stay fit and have

[00:31:22] fun.

[00:31:22] It doesn't have to be a grind.

[00:31:24] It doesn't have to be grueling.

[00:31:25] Um, you know, you think bodybuilding, they're just in their day and just grunting and it

[00:31:29] doesn't have to be that, you know, there's so many things you can do, um, to stay fit

[00:31:34] and to stay active.

[00:31:35] Um, you know, don't limit yourself to just thinking it has to be inside of a gym.

[00:31:41] You know, um, I forget the classes, but they're like suspended from the ceiling with like ropes

[00:31:47] and stuff.

[00:31:47] Like, you know, there's so many things.

[00:31:49] Oh yeah.

[00:31:51] Aerial yoga.

[00:31:53] I used, I had a client at one of my previous jobs that was, was like a, an aerial artist

[00:32:01] like that.

[00:32:02] Yeah.

[00:32:02] And, uh, it was like some of the most impressive, like athletic stuff that I've ever seen.

[00:32:09] And it was incredible, you know, those gals are chiseled.

[00:32:14] Yeah.

[00:32:15] Chiseled.

[00:32:15] Yeah.

[00:32:16] It can literally be anything.

[00:32:17] I mean.

[00:32:19] Well, and for guys, like, especially, you know, not just guys, but in the last five years,

[00:32:23] like golf has been, has made a huge resurgence and you don't realize like golf can be a great

[00:32:30] activity.

[00:32:31] Like it's, you know, especially if you're walking the course and if you're walking,

[00:32:35] yeah, that's, you know what I mean?

[00:32:36] Or five hours, depending on how you don't necessarily, you don't necessarily have to

[00:32:40] carry your clubs.

[00:32:41] People have push carts, they have even the robotic carts and stuff now where it's like

[00:32:45] you put the thing on your belt and the thing follows you around the golf course.

[00:32:50] Like all kinds of what?

[00:32:52] Yeah.

[00:32:52] You've never seen that.

[00:32:53] Oh yeah.

[00:32:55] That's pretty wild.

[00:32:58] Yeah.

[00:32:58] Super old now.

[00:33:00] I mean, it's, it's definitely not cheap either.

[00:33:02] So I think that's, I think we're kind of pigeonholing into that.

[00:33:05] Yeah.

[00:33:06] Maybe where we are, they don't have that as much.

[00:33:08] They don't have it at the local muni that I play at.

[00:33:12] You know what I mean?

[00:33:13] But, uh,

[00:33:14] dollars for nine holes.

[00:33:16] Well, and that's in, in honestly, it's, that's funny, Lindsay, that you say that.

[00:33:20] That's how Derek and I met is, uh, is through a men's league softball.

[00:33:24] Um, you know, that's, and, and even this year, like it was, it was just something that we look

[00:33:31] forward to that, you know, it's, it gets the group together and gets you outside, gets

[00:33:35] you moving around, gets you running around.

[00:33:38] And we, you know, I think we've talked about it.

[00:33:39] Like the, the average that, that like people are age, like people don't run max speed at

[00:33:47] all.

[00:33:48] You know, nobody sprints when they're over the, you know, over the age of some statistic,

[00:33:52] I think it was 35.

[00:33:54] Yeah.

[00:33:55] It's like less than 5% of people like max sprint.

[00:33:59] Yeah.

[00:33:59] Cause why do we need to be doing that?

[00:34:02] Well, you got to beat out the throat of first, you know, these softball games are important.

[00:34:10] So that, yeah, that's my husband joined a curling league.

[00:34:15] No way.

[00:34:16] Yeah.

[00:34:16] Yeah.

[00:34:17] That's all.

[00:34:18] Wait, is it on ice or do they, can you do it on?

[00:34:22] If it's that shuffleboard, Derek, that's shuffleboard.

[00:34:25] No, no, I didn't know if you could change it around and they put like little wheels on

[00:34:30] the bottom or whatever that brick thing is called.

[00:34:32] Yeah.

[00:34:33] No, they have like a club Columbus curling.

[00:34:35] Yeah.

[00:34:36] Wow.

[00:34:37] Yeah.

[00:34:37] They have one shirts, like curling shirts.

[00:34:41] That would be awesome.

[00:34:42] Team names and everything.

[00:34:43] I think so.

[00:34:44] He didn't have one cause like he wasn't in a league or whatever, but I do think they

[00:34:48] had them.

[00:34:48] Yeah.

[00:34:48] And they had like a little, like you get your like a beer and nachos and stuff like while

[00:34:53] you're afterwards or whatever.

[00:34:54] Like there's, there's one, uh, we have one here in Worcester, Derek, at the Worcester

[00:34:59] ice center.

[00:34:59] They have like a curling, uh, they had all painted out on the ice and stuff.

[00:35:04] You should check it out.

[00:35:04] I'm in.

[00:35:05] We'll do it.

[00:35:06] At some point.

[00:35:07] We have to.

[00:35:08] I don't know what the different positions are, but we, we could make that happen.

[00:35:14] I want to be the guy with the broom.

[00:35:17] Yeah.

[00:35:17] You can throw the stone and yell.

[00:35:19] I'll throw it and just slide on.

[00:35:21] Hard.

[00:35:23] Hard.

[00:35:25] Dodgeball.

[00:35:25] I think we'd be a blast.

[00:35:27] If we could get the, there are definitely dodgeball leagues out there.

[00:35:30] There's so many, there's so many things you can do.

[00:35:32] Or like the adult kickball leagues.

[00:35:34] They have the WACA.

[00:35:35] It's the world adult kickball association.

[00:35:37] It's like all over the country.

[00:35:39] It's, uh, they have them all over the dumb idea here where we, where we partake in all

[00:35:45] these different leagues and just videotape it so that we can put it out there for, for

[00:35:49] everyone to feel better about themselves.

[00:35:52] Just pumping out the content.

[00:35:54] Now you have a series, a signature series for your podcast.

[00:35:58] It's a good idea.

[00:36:00] A nice little segment we could cut away to.

[00:36:03] Yeah.

[00:36:03] I'm here for it.

[00:36:05] That would be really funny.

[00:36:06] I like it.

[00:36:07] Lindsay, your husband can be our first guest on the segment.

[00:36:11] Let's do it.

[00:36:11] We can videotape him curling.

[00:36:13] He would love to talk to you about sports and especially curling.

[00:36:17] He loves curling.

[00:36:18] It's, it's so funny.

[00:36:19] And I'm so proud of him because he literally was like, I, he talked about it forever.

[00:36:23] Like, he was like, I want to do it.

[00:36:24] I'm going to do it.

[00:36:25] He researched it.

[00:36:26] He looked it up.

[00:36:26] He went and did it.

[00:36:27] He was decent.

[00:36:28] Like he was pretty good.

[00:36:29] I mean, for what I know about curling, he was good, you know?

[00:36:32] Um, and I mean, we have just like pictures of him with the broom.

[00:36:35] He's like, it was great, but he would be like for real sore afterwards.

[00:36:43] Like he, cause you have to like, you have to hold your whole body in position.

[00:36:47] Well, you're doing something your body's not used to.

[00:36:49] So you're going to, you're going to feel something.

[00:36:52] That's the most activity we've had in a long time.

[00:36:56] Oh, is he going to love that you're sharing with, with our tens of, of listeners, the curling love he has?

[00:37:03] Yes.

[00:37:03] Yeah.

[00:37:04] Because he, he's truly like passionate about it and loves it.

[00:37:08] That's awesome.

[00:37:09] And honestly, he's super funny.

[00:37:10] So like he would probably love to come on and like make fun of himself and talk about it.

[00:37:16] That would be great.

[00:37:17] That would be great.

[00:37:18] You're going to have to write up a training program for him.

[00:37:22] Yeah.

[00:37:24] I love that.

[00:37:25] And I actually, I enjoyed watching him.

[00:37:27] It was, it was comical.

[00:37:29] Oh, that's gotta be fun.

[00:37:30] That's gotta be fun.

[00:37:31] Like you said, find things you love to do, be active and just get moving.

[00:37:36] That's right.

[00:37:36] I mean, curling.

[00:37:38] Did you guys know you could curl people out there?

[00:37:40] I had no idea.

[00:37:41] Did you know you could curl?

[00:37:44] For fun.

[00:37:45] Yeah.

[00:37:46] Yeah.

[00:37:46] Derek didn't know.

[00:37:47] Obviously.

[00:37:48] I'm, I'm okay admitting things I don't know.

[00:37:51] I, I'm not trying to impress anybody anymore.

[00:37:54] Well, we love that.

[00:37:55] Learn something new every day, right?

[00:37:56] It's supposed to learn every day.

[00:37:58] That's right.

[00:37:59] Yeah.

[00:37:59] Yeah.

[00:38:00] In the golf, I would back to the golf.

[00:38:03] It's like with as much as you walk and stuff like that, it is, it's such a, and with as

[00:38:07] much as you're like working your upper body and stuff like that, it's great.

[00:38:09] It's like, I was just telling my husband, like, this could actually be a really good workout

[00:38:12] for you if you didn't like drink the whole time you were golfing.

[00:38:15] Yeah.

[00:38:16] That kind of hinders it a little bit.

[00:38:19] Yeah.

[00:38:20] It's the good job.

[00:38:21] It's the performance.

[00:38:21] Make it not good for you.

[00:38:23] Yes.

[00:38:23] Yeah.

[00:38:25] There are enough bad memes out there of, of people drinking too much and golfing and then

[00:38:31] what they end up doing.

[00:38:31] So you don't, you don't want to turn into one of those.

[00:38:34] We've got enough of them out there.

[00:38:36] That's right.

[00:38:36] Yeah.

[00:38:36] No, you won't find me on the golf course.

[00:38:39] I'll be at Pilates.

[00:38:42] Yeah.

[00:38:42] My sister-in-law or something, you know, but you know, it's, it's funny that you bring

[00:38:46] up Pilates cause I was just talking to my sister-in-law over the weekend and she's

[00:38:49] really started to get into it too.

[00:38:51] And it's, I mean, you see, you see the videos of like the, the football players and all the,

[00:38:56] you know, the big, these big bodybuilder muscle, muscle bound athletes going into Pilates

[00:39:01] and just absolutely struggling because it's, you know, it just put it again.

[00:39:06] It's, it's a different movement pattern.

[00:39:08] It's really core intensive and it's really focused on stability.

[00:39:12] Right.

[00:39:13] So that's like, those are things that, you know, I feel like you're working on Olympic

[00:39:18] lifts.

[00:39:18] You're not, you're not really thinking about core stability and balance and all those

[00:39:24] things as much as, as you are, you know, in that type of, in that type of environment.

[00:39:29] So it's interesting to, and it's diverse.

[00:39:33] Like you said, you don't necessarily, you don't have to go to a studio.

[00:39:35] You can do it in your house.

[00:39:36] You can, you know, you can do it pretty much anywhere.

[00:39:41] That's, that's a, you know, it's, it's an activity that is definitely, I feel like it,

[00:39:47] again, you don't really think of it as, as front of mind for movement, but it's, it's pretty

[00:39:52] well-rounded.

[00:39:54] Absolutely.

[00:39:54] Yeah.

[00:39:55] And like, I think that, um, more athletes and, um, performers who have dancers, whatever,

[00:40:03] I think more people should do Pilates or some form of movement like that, because it is so

[00:40:09] good for stretching, elongating your muscles, working on your bones too.

[00:40:13] And joints.

[00:40:13] I don't think that's what people realize much about Pilates is that how much it helps your

[00:40:17] joints.

[00:40:18] I mean, when I started, I had hip pain that you wouldn't even believe from, from birth,

[00:40:23] from a rough, my son's rough birth, um, hip pain that like, I couldn't even get rid of

[00:40:28] from the chiropractor, um, multiple stretches and exercises, but Pilates corrected it because

[00:40:34] it was like, it gets, it just gets the, the places.

[00:40:38] It just works the places that you don't even know.

[00:40:41] You know what I mean?

[00:40:42] It's, it's, it's so, um, and people like kind of, I think underestimated too, because

[00:40:47] Pilate, like the real heavy end of Pilates people are lean and they think like, because

[00:40:53] they're lean that they're like not strong, but some of these instructors, I'm telling you

[00:40:59] that these classes like are to the point you can't even get through them at some, because

[00:41:04] they are so advanced and it is its whole body stability.

[00:41:08] I mean, you'll feel it in your earlobes, you know, like it's wild.

[00:41:14] So I do, I think like recovery is, is a really neglected part of training.

[00:41:21] Um, you know, because we just, it, it, it just kind of makes your muscles just so contracted,

[00:41:28] therefore inflamed and stuff like that.

[00:41:30] Whereas Pilates just elongates, um, and helps so much with the tendons and the fibers and

[00:41:35] all of that stuff that you wouldn't think of while, like you said, your Olympic training

[00:41:38] or, you know, whatever it's, you don't think of those things, but it is so good for, um,

[00:41:44] recovery as well.

[00:41:45] Um, which is so funny.

[00:41:47] You see the, you, the football guys doing it and it's hilarious because they're like,

[00:41:50] oh, ah, ah, you know, and you're like, yeah, see, don't play about us Pilates girls because

[00:41:56] we are tough, you know?

[00:41:57] Yeah.

[00:41:58] Like Pilates yoga too.

[00:41:59] You, you know, you see a lot with yoga too, where it's, it's a lot, again, core intensive,

[00:42:04] or, um, but also at the same time focused on, on, it's almost a recovery type of, of exercise,

[00:42:13] active recovery.

[00:42:14] Right.

[00:42:14] So that's, that's a big thing that we preach about recovery here is, is recovery day doesn't

[00:42:19] mean you just sit on the couch either.

[00:42:21] You know what I mean?

[00:42:22] So it's the kind of stuff that, um, it can really help with, with, with being, you know,

[00:42:28] keep getting yourself moving while you're also trying to not beat yourself up too much,

[00:42:33] you know?

[00:42:34] So.

[00:42:34] 100%.

[00:42:35] Yeah.

[00:42:35] And things like Pilates too are so good for that because it helps your mind and strengthens

[00:42:39] your mind while like working on yourself.

[00:42:40] So it's almost like a win-win.

[00:42:42] Um, it's good.

[00:42:43] It's good stuff.

[00:42:45] Well, Lindsay, thank you so much for coming.

[00:42:48] Is there anything else you wanted to end with or how people can get in touch with you if

[00:42:52] they want to see more of your, your, um, your reels and everything and all your fitness

[00:42:57] stuff out there?

[00:42:58] Yeah, that'd be great.
