Kristi is a banking professional who shares her story of the challenges she faces balancing her working life with family, fitness goals, and all the other obstacles life throws at her.

Sure, we go off topic a little discussing the changes that happen at the end of summer, why it's important to start working now for next summer, and remember Chess King?

We had so much fun chatting with Kristi, we went a little long and decided to present her story in two parts. This is part one. Enjoy and thanks for listening to the Body Rockin' Goals podcast.

Ok, we're big fans of Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson at the Body Rockin' Goals podcast and he comes up a few times in this episode. But that's not all!

What about eating your vegetables? Or working out with a sore finger? Or the joy that comes after completing some good old fashioned hard work? Darlene, Lora, and Wizard discuss.

Darlene explains what goes into crafting a quality workout and a cheat meal chat evolves into a debate about carb cycling.

There's a lot of great information in this episode of the Body Rockin' Goals podcast. And we smell what the Rock is cooking. Enjoy!

It's the 26th episode of the Body Rockin' Goals podcast! And we are thrilled to be joined again by Joann for part two of her interview.

We introduced Joann in part one where she shared some of her story. Earlier this year she began working with Lora and Darlene and, after years of failed attempts, is finally making solid progress on her fitness journey.

In this episode we discuss Joann's first time walking through the door of the gym. We also delve into reverse dieting, why lifting is awesome, and what happens when you trust your trainer.

Lots of great information in this episode. Enjoy and thanks for listening to our Body Rockin' Goals podcast.
