Exciting News! Episode 19 (4/26/24)

Today’s podcast is on a totally different topic! Last podcast we focused on social media, cell phone use and how it can be addicting. We discussed the importance of being aware of this and implementing different strategies to avoid becoming overconsumed, especially when we have little ones around.
Today we have an update on Hey Fit Mom and on our workouts. When we started the Vanessa Carlson Podcast we were leaning on hosting our workouts on a channel called Locals but after some time we did not have peace and did not move in that direction. But now we have a way to bring our vision alive. So grateful to have my husband involved as well. We are hoping that our website and platform will be done within 30-45 days. We will be able to host the workouts, provide LIVE workouts, one on one training and more. We are grateful to use our knowledge and experience these last 10 years in the gym industry as owners and 20 years as instructors and trainers – and service women.
Why do this? There is a need. And we are called. Heart Disease is the number one killer in women. We all know we should workout and eat healthy. There are gyms accessible to us and there are tons of online platforms. So, what is the problem? My husband likes to say that we judge others by their actions, and we judge ourselves by our intentions. Our intentions are not helping us, they are killing us. And I don’t want to see someone’s boobies, belly, and booty while I am working out in a gym or online. I also do not want to hear sexual innuendos or cursing. And not every woman feels comfortable working out with men around. Our goal is to bring a wholesome environment for women of all ages, shapes, sizes and levels. We want to bring light; cheer and we want to involve the Lord and honor him.
In the meantime, we are doing a few things:
• We are raising money through GiveSendGo.com/Heyfitmom to really get our baby rolling with the equipment needed and to pay for the time and talents of those involved.
• We are filming, editing, and organizing all the workout videos.
• With the donations we have received already we were able to purchase equipment to do live workouts so stay tuned for that as we hope to do live workouts on Facebook and Rumble
We have already submitted a Therapeutic Series to Restore 7.tv. Thank you, Johnny Enlow and Elizabeth Enlow, for hosting these workouts. We love what you and your team are doing. These workouts are for the woman who has never worked out before, the woman who has exercised before, but it’s been a long time and they don’t know where to start, there woman who is coming back from an injury or surgery, or the woman who has had a bad experience in the gym, online or with a trainer and they want to move forward but don’t know where to begin. This series is made to be simple. This series is to provide TLC and therapeutic movements to help those doing it feel confident while exercising and also become re-acquainted with their bodies. The workouts are 10-20minutes long.
We also finished filming another series that is more advanced that focuses on specific muscle groups and made for the busy woman or those that need ideas. There are many ways you can use this series! More to come!
Our Pre and post-natal workouts are still on our Hey Fit Mom You Tube Channel.
Prayers and encouragement are welcome!
