317: What Fitness Girls Know About Exercise That Most People Don't, With Gabby George
#317: We've been taught that getting fit has to be hard (hour-long workouts, all-or-nothing routines, the "perfect" plan). But what if that's exactly what's keeping us from being consistent? Josie sits down with fitness creator and founder of GG Studio, Gabby George, whose viral Bridal Arms workouts have helped millions of women rethink what fitness can look like. After overcoming her own struggles with body image and learning to stop using exercise as punishment, Gabby built a philosophy around one simple idea: the best workout is the one you'll actually do. Josie and Gabby break down how just 5-10 minutes of movement can transform your health, the pressure of the "bridal glow-up," how to feel your best before a big event without obsessing over changing your body, and the small habits that actually move the needle when it comes to feeling stronger, healthier, and more confident.
You'll learn:

The biggest mistake people make when starting a fitness routine
How 5-minute workouts can build real results
The truth about "bridal glow-ups"
What you should (and shouldn't) focus on before a big event
