The Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast

Happy New Year!! I wanted to kick off the first episode of 2025 in true Kristy Castillo fashion with some #realtalk (I know those are your favorite).I recently posted a question on my Instagram stories about what’s *really* holding you back from having the body you want. I received sooo many amazing responses, and I wanted to share several of those in today’s episode (thank you for taking the time to answer if you did)!As I read through your responses, it became crystal clear to me that we ALL struggle, and honestly, it’s so much of the same stuff. From staying consistent and being ‘motivated’ to work out and eat better, to being addicted to sweets and alcohol, getting discouraged about how our bodies ‘look’, and everything in between, we all have insecurities, and we ALL struggle.While it’s comforting to know that we’re not alone in feeling this way, we also can’t stay stuck here. So much of the time, WE are the ones holding ourselves back, and WE are the ones who are in control of changing things for the better! After you listen to this episode, take some time to break down what’s REALLY holding you back from having the body you want. Don’t spend another year doing the same shit - otherwise, you’re going to have the same body, the same poor health, and the same struggles.I’m excited for some changes happening within my own life and business (I’ll be sharing more details, so stay tuned)! As always, I’m truly grateful to have you as a podcast listener and friend, and I LOVE hearing that this podcast has positively impacted your life. Cheers to more unf*cking your fitness in 2025!!In this episode, we cover:YOUR responses as to what’s holding you back from having the body you wantRealizing that we ALL struggle + have very similar insecuritiesWhy your focus, mindset, discipline, laziness, and need for immediate gratification are what’s actually holding you backTaking steps to identify what’s *really* holding you back + how to change this for 2025Links/Resources:Ep. 145 | New Year, New Focus: How to Actually Achieve YOUR Fitness Goals in the New YearEp. 143 | Breaking Down Self-Sabotage: Overcoming Procrastination and Perfectionism + Taking Steps Toward Positive ChangeJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!

I can’t believe it, but…we’ve made it to the last episode of 2024!As we gear up for 2025, you may be tempted to set a ton of New Year’s resolutions. I used to do this too; I would write my resolutions down, lose the paper I wrote them on, and totally forget about them all together!Instead of going the whole ‘traditional resolutions’ route, I want to encourage you to do something a little different. When you’re thinking about the year ahead, I want you to find clarity on your ‘focus’, and get SUPER specific on what this is for you, because this can apply to all areas of your life!And no..this shouldn’t look or sound like everyone else’s around you. When you think about your health and fitness, what is your focus, and WHY are you focused on that? Does that actually make sense for you, and what you want your fitness journey to look like? What is your environment like, and who are the people you’re surrounding yourself with?What you focus on matters so, SO much. Learning to control your focus and being super intentional with this can lead to lasting change, and totally transform your life!I hope you choose to focus on YOU, and what is truly possible for YOUR fitness journey. Let’s go into 2025 with laser focus, intentionality, and determination - we’ve got this!!In this episode, we cover:What I like to focus on instead of setting New Year’s resolutionsGetting super specific on your ‘focus’ for the upcoming yearWhy your environment, the people around you, and what you’re telling yourself mattersThe importance of focusing on YOU on your fitness journey + how to *actually* do this right nowWhat my fitness ‘focus’ is over the next 90 daysThe power of intentionality + getting support with your fitness goalsFocusing on the path rather than the outcome for your goalsLinks/Resources:Ep. 143 | Breaking Down Self-Sabotage: Overcoming Procrastination and Perfectionism + Taking Steps Toward Positive Change Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!

I don’t know about you, but this time of year has me feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and definitely TIRED. I’m often asked about navigating fatigue on your fitness journey. I’m feeling pretty damn fatigued myself right now, so I thought it was fitting to dive into this topic for today’s episode!For some reason, we beat ourselves up when we feel so tired, and we think something is *wrong* with us if we don’t feel great every.single.day. As human beings, we have SO much happening both within our bodies + in the world around us. Regardless of the season of life you’re in, there’s no way you’re going to feel amazing 24/7.As women, our menstrual cycle impacts our energy levels and overall well-being waaay more than we probably realize. I’m sharing more about the various phases of our cycle + other hormonal conditions (i.e. PCOS, endometriosis) and autoimmune conditions that can lead to energy levels fluctuating, and yes..leave us feeling fatigued.My biggest takeaway I want you to have is to really understand YOUR body - start paying attention to what YOU need. What makes you feel good, and what makes you feel depleted? While you can only control so much, you are in control of educating yourself on your health and well-being.I hope this episode sheds some light on the topic of fatigue and other health challenges + brings more awareness to how important it is to REALLY know your body! In this episode, we cover:Understanding that you WILL get tired, and you won’t feel great every single day + not beating yourself up over thisHow the menstrual cycle impacts women + a breakdown of what this looks like during a 30 day time frameCertain hormonal conditions that affect women + how this impacts energy levels throughout your cycleThe physical + emotional toll that autoimmune diseases can take on the bodyWhy it’s crucial that you learn your particular body and what YOU needLinks/Resources:Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!

Today’s episode is covering a topic that is pretty widespread, and affects all of us in some way or another: self-sabotage. Self-sabotage is complicated, and it can manifest in countless ways - the root of where it stems from within each of us is different, too. From our fitness goals to our personal ambitions, self-sabotage can rear its ugly head and realllly hinder us from making the progress we want to in our lives. Even though it’s a bit conflicting, self-sabotage can be both intentional AND unintentional. Whether it shows up in the form of procrastination, perfectionism, or something else, we still have the power of making INTENTIONAL choices!Regardless of your past experiences or what you *think* you’re capable of, you CAN make positive changes in your life..but you have to be willing to do so. I hope this episode empowers you to break free from self-sabotage (for GOOD) - I’m rooting for you!!Here are some questions to help you dig deeper and gain awareness on where you may be self-sabotaging in your own life:Is your behavior aligning with your goal?If not, what is stopping you from taking action to reach that goal?Do you feel uneasiness or discomfort when you progress? If yes, dig deeper.Is this discomfort based on what others told you that limited your aspirations?Is this discomfort based on a fear of failure and worry about looking foolish?Is this discomfort based on a fear of success?Are you concerned with achieving more than you thought possible?If you do better or achieve more, do you believe success is more than you deserve?In this episode, we cover:Why self-sabotage can be both intentional AND unintentional3 examples of how people self-sabotageThe REAL reason why you’re self-sabotagingWhy you see potential in other people so much easier than within yourselfWhy you continue holding yourself back & self-sabotagingRealizing that you are human and will make mistakes, but you don’t have to make that your permanent ‘story’Links/Resources:Ep. 136 | Overcoming Anxiety and Embracing Compassion on Your Fitness Journey with Erin Burns (Part 2)Ep. 32 | Dealing with Self-Sabotage and Self-Limiting Beliefs on Your Fitness JourneyCheck out verywellmind.comJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!
