ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with my sweet friend, Robin Long, who actually joined us all the way back in the second episode of Girls Night. Robin is a pilates instructor and the creator of an online community called The Balanced Life where she provides quick and efficient online workouts for busy women. Robin is passionate about empowering women to feel good in their own skin, and that’s exactly what she does!
Today, we’re talking about how to be consistent in your health journey. I think a lot of us have big ambitions when it comes to our health and fitness goals, especially at the beginning of the new year, but then lose momentum a few months or even a few weeks in! Robin’s going to share practical, and actually doable, tips that have helped her stay committed to her health for years now, and she’s going to teach us how we can do the same.
If you’re feeling a bit lost or frustrated in your health journey, whether it’s with food or fitness or both, please know you’re not alone! I’ve actually been feeling the exact same way lately. And that’s why I was so excited to talk to Robin. I left this conversation feeling so refreshed, motivated, and like I can ACTUALLY do this, and I know you’ll feel the same.
