Episode Description

Feel like you should be doing more to stay active—but don’t have the time? This episode is your reset. Dr. Emily sits down with Terra Castro (16 Ironmans + 42 marathons!) to talk about what happens when you ditch extreme fitness and focus on something that actually sticks: joyful, everyday movement.

In this episode:
1. Why all-or-nothing fitness doesn’t work
2. What “workout snacks” are (and why they do)
3. Simple ways to get your whole family moving
4. How to make movement feel fun again
