This episode of the Healthy Living Doesn’t Have to SUCK podcast, Melyssa interviews special guest Alayna Curry, a mom and fitness instructor, who shares her journey through fitness and motherhood, highlighting strategies for incorporating exercise into a busy lifestyle. Topics include overcoming toxic fitness messaging, advocating for personal wellness needs, setting realistic fitness goals, and finding joy in physical activity. Alayna introduces her Workout with Mom program, designed to help busy moms find effective, enjoyable ways to exercise. They discuss the significance of modeling healthy behavior for children and the importance of fitness for long-term well-being, rather than short-term appearance goals.
