Move for You: A No BS Guide to “Spring Training”

Spring is here, and with it comes the familiar pressure to "get in shape" for summer. But what if we flipped the script? Instead of chasing an arbitrary number on the scale, let’s focus on movement that feels good, builds strength, and supports our long-term well-being.

In this episode of Tarin It Up, I dive into realistic fitness goals, body positivity, and why functional movement matters more than outdated weight loss narratives. Whether you're starting fresh or just need a reminder that your worth isn’t tied to your workout routine, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now:

Ditch the Pressure & Focus on What Matters

The fitness industry has long pushed the idea that working out is about "fixing" something. But the truth? You don’t need to "get in shape" to start moving. Fitness isn’t about punishment—it’s about finding ways to move that support you, not something you suffer through.

“Start moving a little bit at a time.” – Tarin

Sustainable Habits Over Quick Fixes

Progress in fitness—just like in life—is a slow road. But consistency beats intensity every time. Whether it’s incorporating small bursts of movement (aka “workout snacks”), focusing on functional strength, or simply showing up as you are, every step counts.

“Workout snacks can be a great way to start.” – Tarin
