Details

I walked into my first Zumba class and lasted 15 minutes before I had to leave because I couldn't breathe. I couldn't do a single jumping jack. I couldn't hold a plank. I was using 5-pound dumbbells and calling them my "big weights."That was August 2023. Today? 600+ group fitness classes. 26 pounds down. I'm using 20-pound dumbbells, taking multiple classes in a day, and chasing the high that comes with working out and moving more every chance that I get.I'm Famous Ashley Grant, and More Movement Please is a fitness podcast for women over 40 who are done waiting to feel stronger. Think of it as your fit after 40 survival guide, minus the unrealistic advice and the influencers who make everything look effortless.I record most episodes from my car on the way to and from the gym, so they're quick (5-10 minutes), honest, and easy to binge. Think of me as your workout buddy who keeps it real.This show is part accountability, part education, part inspiration. I talk about beginner fitness tips, gym motivation, what to do when you sleep through your alarm, why most fitness influencers are full of it, and how small lifestyle changes beat crash diets every single time. Sometimes I bring on guests — like my YMCA instructor Rhonda Goode, who told me the thing that changed everything: "Everyone is busy, but it's a choice to schedule exercise just like anything else."The goal isn't a number on a scale. It's getting strong, feeling better in your body, and building a community of people who believe they deserve to move. I want this to be more than a podcast. I want it to be a movement of movement.Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes weekly.Onwards and upwards, friends.

How I'm Prepping My Body (and My Bag) for Four Days of Walking at Gen Con
<p>Someone told Ashley she'd walk eleven thousand steps in a single day at Gen Con, and that one comment lit a fire under her prep plan. In this episode of More Movement Please, she walks you through exactly how she's getting her body ready for four straight days on the convention floor and what's going into her bag to stay fueled the whole time. She talks through her beloved Asics Nova Blast 5s, the resistance band and bodyweight workouts she's packing, why she's swapping sodas for fruit juice, and her hunt for an electrolyte packet that won't wreck her budget. She also covers the snack strategy for when hanger hits, the chapstick and lotion she refuses to travel without, and the smart tip about labeling her board games. If you've ever wondered how to stay active and fed at a big event, this one's for you. Have you worked out today?</p><p>Want to share your story or give feedback on the show?

365 Days of Movement: My Plan to Celebrate One Full Year

365 Days of Movement: My Plan to Celebrate One Full Year
<p>A bowl full of random exercises, ten extra minutes a day, and five back-to-back classes on the big day. That is exactly how Ashley plans to celebrate 365 days of maximum effort in her fitness life, and she is letting you in on the whole ridiculous plan. In this episode of More Movement Please, Ashley breaks down the countdown she built to hit her one-year movement milestone without skipping a single day of what she already has scheduled. She pulls a mystery exercise from a bowl every day for the final stretch, adds five additional classes on day 365, invites her gym peeps to lunch, and yes, there will be ice cream. She also shares why episode 100 is set to drop on that same day. It is silly, it is sweaty, and it is a real celebration of showing up.

I Caved (And I'd Do It Again): What Happened When My Workout Plan Went Out the Window

I Caved (And I'd Do It Again): What Happened When My Workout Plan Went Out the Window
<p>Sometimes the best thing you can do for your fitness plan is ignore it. When the weather tanked Ashley's Thursday hike, she did what any reasonable person would do: she caved and headed straight to the gym instead.</p><p>In this episode, Ashley breaks down what happens when your new workout schedule collides with real life, and why "caving" might actually be the smartest move you can make. She shares what it was like to stack a Pilates class and a Tabata session back to back, why she only struggled with one exercise (and why that felt like a win), and what it meant to lift her 20-pound dumbbells and feel strong doing it. She also gets into her love for morning stretching, why bedtime stretches might be next on her list, and what it really means to stay committed to movement even when the plan changes. If you've ever felt guilty for adjusting your routine, this one's for you.</p><p><em>Do you want a Facebook Group for accountability?
