Why You’ll Never Stick to Your Goals... Until You Hear This
If you’ve ever felt frustrated that you can’t seem to stick with your workout routine or New Year’s resolution—you're not alone. Melissa Gray, LCSW, owner of Kindle Counseling in Fulshear, joined Busy People Getting Fit to explain why we fall off track and how to change it.
The problem often isn’t willpower—it’s structure, priorities, and mindset. “Sometimes,” Melissa says, “just getting started is a workout in mental fitness.”

Why Recovery Is Where You Get Stronger
While training breaks your body down, recovery is when real gains happen. Coach Ahmed Zaher emphasizes that sleep is your #1 tool—cheaper and more effective than cryotherapy or massage. Want proof? He recommends Dr. Matthew Walker’s Why We Sleep for the full science breakdown.
Tip: Start by finding your personal "recovery number"—hours of sleep, minutes of foam rolling, or recovery work required to match your training load.
Honor the Fallen with the Murph Workout in Fulshear
Why We Do Murph Every Memorial Day

Monday Motivation: Improve Sleep with DREAMS
Most people think of sleep as a passive shutdown. But according to holistic health expert Adriana Shuman, sleep is an active process—your body detoxes, rebuilds, and restores itself while you rest.
And if you’re struggling with fatigue, cravings, or low motivation, poor sleep might be the culprit.
That’s why Adriana developed the DREAMS Method, a simple acronym to help you build a sleep routine that energizes your life.

How Geno Auriemma Redefines Winning for High Performers
Geno Auriemma isn’t just one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time—he’s a master of mindset. Last night, before UCONN stepped into their 24th Final Four appearance, he reminded his players of something every high performer should hear:
“We’ve won 11 of them, and we’ve lost 12. But nobody introduces me as the guy who’s lost 12 Final Fours.”
Let that sink in.
He didn’t fixate on the losses. He emphasized the showing up. The going hard. The consistency.
Is My Metabolism Failing?
In this episode of the Busy People Getting Fit podcast, Dr. Tiffany Breeding (Dr. Tiff), author of The Metabolic Makeover: 8 Weeks to Macro Mastery, breaks down what many of us get wrong about our metabolism—and how to fix it.
We hear phrases like “my metabolism is broken” all the time. But according to Dr. Tiff, that’s simply not true. Your metabolism may slow, adapt, or become inefficient—but it never truly fails. And the best part? You can reverse the trend with the right lifestyle and nutrition changes.
Monday Motivation: Live a Long, Strong, Healthy Life
It’s not just genetics. It’s not luck. It’s not even your doctor’s advice. The two most powerful predictors of how long, and how well, you’ll live are your VO2 max and your strength.
That’s right. Your heart and lung capacity (VO2 max) and your muscular strength aren’t just fitness stats—they are life insurance you control.

The Truth About Perimenopause Weight Gain — And What To Do About It
