This week on the blog: If you’ve spent any time This week on the blog: 

If you’ve spent any time in the fitness world lately, especially in spaces focused on women’s health, perimenopause, or strength training over 40, you’ve probably heard the phrase progressive overload over and over again. I talk about it in my videos and programs, and the term is trending all over social media. We know it’s important, but what exactly is it?
It sounds technical, but the concept is actually simple: your body changes when you gradually ask it to do a little more over time.
That “little more” is what creates strength, muscle, resilience, and long-term health benefits.
And for women — especially during perimenopause, menopause, and as we age — it matters more than ever.
Check out my stories for links to the full blog, and for info on the three different progressive overload programs I’m launching this summer: STRONG, IGNITE, & SHIFT. Each is its own standalone program, but they all build on each other, AND they are all designed to get progressive overload and build strength in 35 MINUTES or less. Effective but efficient for our busy summer months!

Got questions? Add them below!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month❤️ I’ve share May is Mental Health Awareness Month❤️

I’ve shared about my mental health over the years, in my content and in connecting with so many of you during my postpartum anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, ADHD, running a business, frustration of social media and everything in between.

As a trainer, I’m (happily) obliged to tell you that exercise can be so helpful for mental health. The research supports it, and so many of us can attest to the benefits. 

BUT-It’s not easy. I’ve had times where anxiety consumed my thoughts and drained my energy. Even as someone who understood exercise professionally, there were times when I felt disconnected from myself physically and emotionally. I could tell you to get moving to feel better, but it wasn’t always easy myself.

I still struggle, feeling I should be “over it” now that my kids are older. I still take it day by day. And of all the things I’ve done—therapy, medication, support, self care -the one thing that makes the biggest difference for me is, in fact, movement.

I know it sounds cliché  from a trainer. And I acknowledge that I have tremendous privilege on this topic because fitness is my job. But, this makes me realize even more what an impact consistent movement has on my life.

On days I don’t want to move but have to for work, the benefits of fitness become the most clear. I go into a workout feeling angry, sad, anxious, or just on edge, and leave feeling better.

To be clear: exercise is not a replacement for therapy, medication, or professional support. Those are crucial for so many of us, myself included, and I highly encourage you to seek out professional support when and how you can. But for me, movement has become one of the most powerful tools in my mental health toolbox.

I know it’s not easy. Time. Resources. Childcare. Motivation. LIFE. But my hope has always been to help you find ways to get moving and be where you are today—wherever that is physically or emotionally. 

I just shared a new blog post (in stories) about this specific topic: getting personal and sharing some things i hope can help. This community has always supported me in sharing my journey, and I hope I do the same for you❤️
Happy Mother’s Day to this mama, who just returned Happy Mother’s Day to this mama, who just returned from Uganda (her second trip there in less than a year) where she was building houses for families in need. This first picture tells you everything you need to know about my mom— she’s happiest when she’s helping others. 

She taught me so much and continues to do so— to write thank you notes and eat something green at every meal, that girls can do anything boys can do, that expiration dates are just suggestions, to always know my worth and never let anyone question it, that sleep is the best medicine——the list goes on.

By far the greatest thing she’s taught me, and shown me by how she’s lived in her life —- is to love and serve and show up for others—- your family, your friends, your community, and, perhaps most importantly, those you don’t know and those that are different from you. She lives this out, spending her retirement traveling all over the world building houses with @habitatforhumanity, volunteering locally, and getting out and getting loud to show up and stand up for others. 

We constantly remind her to slow down, to rest, to take breaks, but truthfully that’s hard for her to do 😂. 

My hero, my mama, the world’s best Nan. We are so lucky to have you. 

Love you Mama❤️

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and today is #m May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and today is #melanomamonday. Today I’m sharing #mymelanomastory and reminding you (again!) to get your skin checked! 

 Did you know: 

 ☀️Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer
 ☀️It’s estimated the 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime 
 ☀️More than one million Americans are living with melanoma 
 ☀️The majority of melanoma cases are related to UV exposure 
 ☀️Melanoma rates have been rising rapidly over the last 30 years (partly due to more people getting checked!) 

In 2018 I went to see a dermatologist for the first time since high school. Truthfully, I only went because we’d met our insurance deductible having a baby and were trying to schedule those appointments we’d put off .In 2018, a small spot biopsied came back as melanoma in situ —- meaning Stage 0, and only on the epidermis (surface) of the skin. If left untreated, it could progress under the skin and become dangerous. I had skin surgery soon after and thankfully all margins were clear. Since then I’ve had to go to the dermatologist every 3 months; and in the last few years have had four more skin surgeries for melanoma on my leg, shoulder, and back. 

None of these tiny spots looked suspicious to me— that’s why skin checks are so important! ‘m extremely grateful that these were caught early and all margins are clear, but even more aware that early detection is key! 

I’ve always tried to be careful as someone with fair skin, but I had many years as a teenager lifeguarding and teaching swimming lessons where I loved to tan. Even more regrettably, in my twenties I frequented tanning beds. While I try not to fixate on this, and stay focused on what I can do moving forward, there’s no doubt this contributed to my diagnosis.

Today I still love being outside but with lots of sun protection and my tans come from a bottle. My scars are my daily reminder to do all that I can to show up for my health. So reminding you today: Get regular skin checks yearly Wear sunscreen daily Stay on top of your health! #bodyfitbyamy #melanomamonday #skincancerawarenessmonth
🎉BIG NEWS!! 🎉 BodyFit by Amy in person is BACK! 🎉BIG NEWS!! 🎉

BodyFit by Amy in person is BACK! 
 
Come work out and hang out with us this summer! We would love to meet you!
 
Back in 2024, to celebrate 10 years of the BodyFit by Amy YouTube channel, we held four live workout and meet-up events: Los Angeles, Atlanta, Grand Rapids, and Baltimore. They got bigger and better each time, and we had such a blast meeting, connecting, and moving with so many of you!

While I had so much fun moving with all of you, my absolute favorite part of our meet-ups has been meeting y’all in person and hearing your stories. Getting to hug you, meet your families, and hear about your fitness journeys from pandemic days, pregnancies, postpartum, finding your strength, reclaiming your power, healing your relationships with your bodies, shifting your mindsets around food and exercise, and so much more. I left each of these events with a full heart and a greater understanding of what this BodyFit community means to you, and to me!

We had big plans to do the same in 2025, but life and scheduling conflicts got in the way. Now we are BACK! Your BodyFit by Amy team— Amy, Kurt & Vivian – will be showing up to move with you in:
 
Gastonia, NC (Charlotte area) on Saturday, June 20th
Grand Rapids, MI on Saturday, July 11th
Seattle, WA on Saturday, September 26th

More details, including sign-up information, will be coming your way via email and on my socials, so save the date and stay tuned! 

These will all be outdoor, kid-friendly events, so bring the whole family! Or make it a girls’ weekend with your besties! Either way, we hope to meet as many of you as possible! 

Can you make it? Let me know, plus where you’d like to meet up next!
