no. 33 – The BeachBody Episode
BeachBody may sound like the kind of program only the young, supermodel striving types should try. But the ease, affordability and workout-anywhere nature of the program actually make it an ideal choice for many unmillennials. Or at least that’s what one fan of the show thinks. Today’s show is her story.
In this episode I interview Julie Staley — a talented entrepreneur, mom and newbie to the BeachBody workout program. While Julie isn’t an official BeachBody coach and isn’t trying to sell the program, she does believe in it and has had some exciting success with it. In this episode she shared with me:
-
- Why she decided to try BeachBody
-
- Why BeachBody ultimately turned out to be the fitness that “fit” for Julie
- The affordability of BeachBody
- The results she’s had since starting BeachBody
- What role the BeachBody shakes did or did not play into Julie’s success
To close out the show, I’m doing something a little different this week. I’m sharing a portion of another interview I taped with a listener of the show — Pamela Hernandez. As a personal trainer and fellow unmillennial, Pamela has begun discussing with her clients the idea of embracing a “middle ground manifesto.” Based in the notion that there IS middle ground between ninja warrior and couch potato, Pamela’s middle ground manifesto is an ideal reminder that age 40+ is the perfect time to seize your health and happiness and realize that you’re good enough, you deserve a healthy lifestyle, but you don’t have to be perfect.
As always, I’d love to connect with you – the listener – online. Find Me On Instagram, Tweet Me @ReganJonesRD, leave me a voicemail, or join the This Unmillennial Life Facebook Group . I also invite you to submit a show idea here!

I just found your podcast and am so happy I did. I have had a similar experience to your BeachBody guest in that after years of neglect of myself for my professional life and children I realized the only time that is my own that I can exercise is 5-7am – and that I need to be able to do that from my own home. I really like Revelation Wellness with Alisa Keeton. There’s a monthly subscription you can get with this too with access to many types of different exercise videos. Alisa also has a podcast and has “Reving the Word” episodes that are interval training that are great to use outside on a walk or run (or inside on a treadmill), and she has other episodes that are more of a guided meditation. What is unique about this Rev Well program is that is is Christian based and it’s very much a workout and a “time with God”. I a was so surprised that it’s not cheesy! I discovered this program trying to combine two areas of my life (spiritual and fitness/health) that I was truly neglecting before. And I LOVE that I can “multitask” and do both at the same time. I have no stock or investment in this and am not trying to “convert” anyone. I just haven’t found anything else like this out there and it is good solid fitness advise in a loving open not overly evangelical way. So FYI on this option for your podcast followers. It might be a great fit for you too.
I’m so glad you found the podcast AND that you enjoyed it! And I love the sound of the Reving the Word episodes. I will confess that I struggle finding a way to fit in spiritual time into my week outside of Sunday mornings. I will definitely check it out!
