Have you ever felt like a vacation totally derailed your workouts? Like everything was finally clicking… and then spring break or summer hits, and boom, momentum is gone?

You’re not alone. But what if I told you that taking a break doesn’t have to mean starting over?

In this episode of Miles From Her View, I’m sharing the exact mindset and strategies I coach my KatFit Strength clients through so they can take time off without spiraling into the all-or-nothing trap. Whether it’s spring break, a two-week summer trip, or a rough week at home, you’ll learn how to keep progressing, even when life gets lifey.

I’ll discuss real client examples (like Jess and Sarah), explain how I handled my own 12-day national park trip in the middle of 100-mile ultra training, and give you actionable ways to prep for and bounce back from any break.

Because fitness isn’t about perfection, it’s about flexibility.

You’ll learn:

• What to do before a vacation to stay consistent
• How to reframe “time off” as part of your training
• Why movement counts (even when it’s not a “workout”)
• How to pick up where you left off without guilt

Let this episode be your permission slip to take a break and keep going.

Feeling exhausted instead of energized after cardio? Not seeing the fat loss results you used to? It’s time to rethink how cardio fits into your fitness plan. In this episode, we’re diving deep into how cardio affects hormones, metabolism, and fat loss—especially for women over 35. Because here’s the truth: more cardio isn’t the answer, but the right cardio is.

Join me as we break down the different types of cardio, how they impact your body, and how to structure your week for maximum fat loss and longevity.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔ The three types of cardio (LISS, moderate intensity, HIIT) and their benefits
✔ How cardio affects your hormones and metabolism post-35
✔ Why too much cardio can work against you
✔ How to structure your workouts for optimal fat loss, muscle retention, and overall health
✔ The ideal balance of strength training and cardio for women over 35
✔ Why your body craves a different approach to fitness as you age

Key Takeaways:
💡 Low-intensity steady-state (LISS) cardio helps with recovery and stress relief
💡 Moderate-intensity cardio builds aerobic capacity and supports heart health
💡 High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is best in small doses for power and metabolism
💡 Excessive cardio can increase cortisol, leading to muscle loss and fat retention
💡 Strength training is crucial for insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and longevity
💡 A balanced approach that includes different types of cardio and strength training leads to better results

Welcome back to MilesFromHerView, the podcast powered by KatFit Strength, where we challenge the outdated narratives around motherhood, fitness, and self-worth.

In today’s episode, Kat shares a deeply personal moment from the start line of her 100-mile race—one that solidified her belief that strength isn’t about shrinking but about stepping into more. We’re tackling the toxic messaging that tells moms their bodies are ruined, that fitness is just about bouncing back, and that taking time for themselves is selfish.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ Why motherhood doesn’t ruin your body—it transforms it
✔️ How to shift your mindset from external validation to internal motivation
✔️ The damaging fitness narratives that keep moms stuck in guilt
✔️ Why strength training is about expansion, not erasure
✔️ How to claim space in your own life—without permission

If you’ve ever struggled with guilt around prioritizing yourself or felt pressured to work out to be a “better mom,” this episode is your wake-up call. You are already enough, and your strength isn’t about proving yourself to anyone but you.
