Ep. 89 Getting In Shape When Life Is Busy
Episode 89
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
Text us to let us know what you want to hear on the podcast!Ep. 89 is for the woman who keeps telling herself she will get “back on track” when life calms down.Jess and Jill break down why busy is not the problem. The problem is unrealistic expectations, all or nothing thinking, and trying to force a “peak physique” plan into a season that cannot support it. If your habits drifted for years, a 30, 60, or 90 day hail mary is not a strategy. It is a repeat of the cycle.This episode reframes what progress actually looks like in real life seasons like travel, kids, demanding work schedules, high stress, and low sleep. They explain why maintaining a great physique can look deceptively simple once you have built muscle, repaired your relationship with food, and established consistent fundamentals. That is not luck. That is earned infrastructure.You will hear the practical levers that matter most when bandwidth is limited: daily movement, protein at each meal, lifting a realistic number of days per week, sleep and recovery, and choosing foods that actually nourish you. No biohacking detours. No complicated routines. Just the highest return basics done consistently.If you want your body to change, your inputs have to change. If life is heavy, the plan should adjust, not disappear. This episode gives you a clean framework to meet yourself where you are, keep moving forward, and build the kind of consistency that makes “busy” irrelevant over time.Reviews are everything! We'd love for you to drop us a 5-star rating and anything you want to share if you enjoyed this episode!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Apply for 1:1 coaching -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA!Jillian: www.instagram.com/jillianrfitJess: www.instagram.com/jesserefitFueled: www.instagram.com/fueledby.balanceReality Check: www.instagram.com/realitycheck_fitpodcast Jillian's TT: www.tiktok.com/@jillianrfit
