Have you noticed a sudden shift in your body after menopause, despite maintaining your usual exercise routine? That unexplained weight around your middle, loss of muscle tone, and decreased energy isn't your imagination—it's your hormones working against you.Award-winning fitness coach Ashley Selman reveals the missing piece of the midlife fitness puzzle that most women never hear about: as estrogen drops during menopause, human growth hormone (HGH) plummets alongside it. This hormonal double-whammy explains why traditional workouts stop delivering results after 45, and why some exercise approaches might actually be making things worse.The good news? There's a scientifically-proven training method that can reverse these changes by naturally stimulating HGH production—without requiring heavy weights, intense impact, or hours at the gym. Blood Flow Restriction training has been used safely for decades in medical settings and is now becoming accessible to everyday women looking to reclaim their strength, energy and body composition during midlife.Through this enlightening conversation, you'll discover why muscle truly is your friend after 45, how to activate the specific muscle fibers that diminish with age, and why just 20 minutes three times weekly can transform how you feel and function. Ready to stop fighting your changing hormones and start working with them? Listen now to discover how this approach could transform not just how you look, but how you'll feel and function for decades to come. Your future self will thank you.Bio A former nationally-ranked athlete and Olympic trainer, Ashley Selman has been an award-winning fitness coach and expert in California's Silicon Valley for 30 years.

“It's better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.” So says Olympic legend Jackie Joyner-Kersee.

Yeah, I know we're already at the end of February, but that still gives us ten months of films to anticipate (and you already saw DEN OF THIEVES: PANTERA, against which all 2025 movies will surely pale). Dan, Stephen, and Megan have each compiled a list of ten films that have them champing at the bit to get to the theater. Come plan your moviegoing year with I Like to Movie Movie!

A day after earning a silver medal in the heptathlon at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, Chris Chavez had the pleasure of speaking with Anna Hall and Jackie Joyner-Kersee (the world record holder in the heptathlon and two-time Olympic gold medalist in the multis). Hall became just the second American woman to win two World Championship medals in the heptathlon. Jackie Joyner-Kersee won gold in 1987 and 1993. Joyner-Kersee's heptathlon world record total of 7,291 still stands but Hall could be the one to break it in the years to come. Thanks to Adidas for the opportunity to bring these two greats together!

Alexandra Allred made sports (and medical) history through activism and determination. When she learned that women were not allowed in bobsled, she lobbied for equal status with a relentless letter-writing campaign. It had not yet occurred to her that she had no idea how to actually bobsled. As a former fighter in martial arts, she had only cared that women were banned from a sport deemed “too dangerous” and “too fast.” When told that the women's program had no by-laws and was therefore unofficial, Allred co-authored the first U.S. women's bylaws and helped secure a sponsor. She ultimately won the U.S. Nationals in September 1994, making sports history as she was named to the first-ever U.S. women's bobsled team. When the United States Olympic Committee named her Athlete of the Year for her sport, it made international news that Allred was also pregnant. At the time, there was very little data on elite pregnant athletes who did powerlifting and plyometrics. While Allred became the “poster child” of the Case Western OB/GYN international study, Allred was squatting 375 lbs. and clocked at 20 MPH sprints into her second trimester.  The results of this study changed how to measure the safety of baby in utero for competitive athletes. Both the United States and International Olympic Committee used Allred's training data as a safety guide for pregnant athletes and she served as a fitness/nutrition expert for two decades.  Today, Allred is an adjunct professor at Tarleton State University and continues to write/research and work with those living with special needs. Her most recent book: When Women Stood - The Untold History of Females Who Changed Sports and the World. Was published in February 2023.   About the book: When Women Stood - The Untold History of Females Who Changed Sports and the World.   An unapologetically candid and illuminating history of women and their fight for equality, told through the influential world of sports. From early Amazons to modern-day athletes, women have been fighting for their rightful place in the world. The history of these female athletes—whether warriors on the battlefield or competitors in the sports arena—has often been neglected, yet it is through sports that women have changed society, gaining entry into education, travel, politics, and more. When Women Stood is an eye-opening chronicle of the amazing women who refused to accept the status quo and fought for something better for themselves and for those who would follow. Featuring exclusive insight from athletes such as Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Kathrine Switzer, Nancy Lieberman, Briana Scurry, and Nancy Hogshead-Maker, this book includes the stories of female football players, Olympic athletes, powerlifters, and soccer stars, of historians, archeologists, crusaders, and scientists. Women's sports history cannot be told without also telling the story of the fight for gender and racial equality, economics, medical biases, gay and transgender history, violence, religion, media, abuse, and activism. When Women Stood is the first to go beyond the record books and gold medal counts to truly dig into the vital role women and sports have played in instigating change in society as a whole. And it shows that, despite seemingly unsurmountable odds, the true spirit of the female athlete can never be restrained.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Subscribe so you don't miss out.  Support the mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media.

It was Arthur Ashe, who made Ivan recognize the power of the athlete. Arthur had just been diagnosed with AIDS as a result of a tainted blood transfusion during heart by-pass surgery. He was dying and he could have hidden, but he asked, how can we use this? The resulting widely viewed, highly attended televised event the day before the US Open in what would eventually become Arthur Ashe Stadium put a face on the AIDS epidemic. After twenty-five years in the agent business, Ivan started Athletes for Hope to help athletes leverage their unique skills the way that Arthur had. Muhammad Ali, Mia Hamm, Jeff Gordon, Warrick Dunn, Andre Agassi, Alonzo Mourning and Jackie Joyner-Kersee remain the founding members of an organization that now numbers more than 12,000 athletes.

Her meteoric rise and unprecedented success has Athing's name in conversations with top athletes around the globe and expectations continue to grow which is both a good and bad thing for the young star. Unbeaten for 13 races, Athing is considered the future of of American sports and the most exciting runner in track and field at the moment where that pressure can seem overwhelming, especially for a young woman, but Athing takes everyday day with stride and realizes she is running for herself, focusing on her personal growth with each challenge she faces.

With her family migrating from Sudan before she was born, Athing doesn't forget the sacrifices her parents made for her and although she runs for the United States she represents her homeland every time she steps on the track.
