Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

Episode 2906: The kettlebell swing may look simple, but executing it correctly requires precise technique and body awareness. Eric Leija breaks down the movement step by step, highlighting key form cues and common mistakes to avoid.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.ericleija.com/this-is-how-to-do-the-perfect-kettlebell-swing/ Quotes to ponder: "The first thing you need to know about the kettlebell swing is that it’s not an upper-body exercise. The power comes from your hips." "One of the most important things to keep in mind is to hinge from your hips rather than squatting down." "If you feel like you’re lifting the weight up with your upper-body strength, think more about sending your hips forward with a snap, it’s more of a sharp movement than a slow, heavy one."

Episode 2905: The 80/20 rule offers a sustainable approach to nutrition, allowing 80% of your food intake to support your health goals while reserving 20% for indulgences.

"Plan to eat well all the time, and when life hands you an unforeseen obstacle, it won't be such a surprise." "Living by arbitrary rules without regard to your body's feedback is what gets us all in trouble."

2904: Can You Catch Heart Disease From A Chair by Bryce Hastings with Les Mills on How to be Healthier 10:06

Episode 2904: Sitting may be the new smoking, as Bryce Hastings explores the surprising link between prolonged chair use and heart disease. Studying the Hadza people of Tanzania reveals that it's not just sitting, but how we sit that matters; squatting and kneeling activate muscles, reducing harmful triglyceride buildup. Simple changes, like standing desks or moving more throughout the day, could dramatically improve long-term health. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.lesmills.com/fit-planet/health/sitting/ Quotes to ponder: "Sitting is the new smoking. Even if you’re a regular at the gym, long periods of sitting on a regular basis have been shown to significantly shorten your life." "The key difference is that the Hadza don’t use chairs; they squat or kneel. These positions require low-grade muscle activation that, despite the low intensity, has a dramatic effect." "Exercise is great for warding off the hazards of modern life. But if you’re inactive for long periods during the day, you’re still at high risk of contracting some nasty diseases."

Now shut up and do something productive." "You can’t change people, but you can be the best version of yourself, and this can have a positive influence on those around you."

"Good friends are protective of health and body image. If she’s in a group where she feels she has to be different from her true self to belong, how can she accept herself?"

Episode 2901: Mind-body interventions like yoga, meditation, and tai chi do more than just reduce stress, they may actually alter gene expression and lower the risk of inflammation-related diseases. Carolyn Joyce explores research showing how these practices counteract the harmful effects of chronic stress on a molecular level, potentially slowing cellular aging and improving mental health. Incorporating these techniques into daily life could not only enhance well-being but also contribute to long-term physical health. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.psychalive.org/new-benefits-mind-body-interventions/ Quotes to ponder: "Mind–body therapies focus on the relationships among the brain, mind, body, and behavior, and their effect on health and disease." "This response may precipitate a health risk when stress is severe or it occurs over a long period of time without adequate coping mechanisms." "Mind-body interventions can improve a person’s level of mental health when compared to those who do not practice these techniques."

It doesn’t require change, but it often leads to change, because people who keep close track of just about anything tend to do a better job of managing it." "By being observant of your habits and shifting daily patterns where needed, you’ll be surprised to find that results show up just as easily as ever." "It’s often disappointing that once you lose weight you have to maintain some level of focus and work to keep it off.
