    The Kindle and Kerosene podcast hosted by Kenzie Presnell is an absolute gem. From the very first episode, I was hooked. Kenzie's topics are always so relevant and seem to come at just the right time when I need them the most. Her episodes provide a perfect blend of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement that I am incredibly grateful for.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Kenzie's ability to keep it real. She doesn't sugarcoat things or pretend that life is always rainbows and sunshine. Instead, she shares her own personal experiences and provides honest advice that resonates with listeners. Her authenticity is refreshing and makes her messages even more impactful. Whether she's discussing health and fitness or delving into broader topics about life, her words hit home every time.

    Another great aspect of The Kindle and Kerosene podcast is Kenzie's talent for making you truly reflect on yourself and your choices. Her episodes aren't just relatable in terms of health and fitness but in all areas of life. She has a way of addressing difficult truths that may be uncomfortable to face but are necessary for personal growth. Through her personal stories and well-researched advice, she empowers listeners to take control of their mindset and make positive changes.

    If there was any downside to The Kindle and Kerosene podcast, it would be hard to find. Some may argue that Kenzie's rawness can be overwhelming at times, as it forces you to confront uncomfortable emotions or truths about yourself. However, I believe that this discomfort is necessary for personal development and growth. It's in these moments of vulnerability that we have the opportunity to truly transform our lives.

    In conclusion, The Kindle and Kerosene podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration, motivation, and personal development. Kenzie Presnell has a unique ability to deliver powerful messages that resonate with listeners on a deep level. Her authenticity, relatability, and well-researched advice make this podcast a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their mindset and overall well-being. I cannot recommend it enough.

In this week's podcast episode, we're diving deep into the art of choosing the right movements for YOUR body. At Fixed on Fitness, we believe that exercise selection is a personal journey. It's not about following the crowd; it's about selecting movements that are appropriate for your fitness level, experience, and any prior injuries you may have had. Our coaches are here to guide you and offer suggestions tailored to your individual needs. But it's not just about the exercises themselves; it's about movement quality. If you can't achieve the proper range of motion, there's likely an alternative that's better suited for you. We also emphasize focusing on movement patterns rather than getting caught up in exact movements. Remember, when it comes to training, ego is the enemy. It's time to become thinking athletes and select the movements that will not only make us look good but also feel good and get results.

    Patience...everyone's favorite topic. It's what we are chatting about today. The truth is, your impatience is what often makes us quit. What would happen if we stopped placing made up timelines on our goals and dreams and started focusing on our progress? Join us on FOF Gym Chat as we unpack the topic of patience and how your impatience might be sabotaging your results. Learn strategies to cultivate patience and stay committed to long-term success. We do chat about the Slight Edge Curve today. Here's a link to that graphic. If you haven't read that book, buy it here. **Please note that the link provided is an Amazon affiliate link**
