I'm so excited to have Tara LaFerrara join me today as we dive deep into coaching women, navigating fitness through different life stages, and redefining what it means to be strong and confident.

She's been in the fitness industry for years, coaching both in-person and online, and she recently launched her app, Broads, which is all about helping women take up space and feel strong in their bodies. The discussion also touches on the challenges of body image, the acceptance of aging, and the importance of movement as a baseline for well-being. Tara shares insights on entrepreneurship, the trust required to navigate it, and the impact of her business on women's lives.   Resources and Links:

Are cardio workouts or strength training better for women? Fitness coach Tara settles this ongoing debate in this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle Podcast.  We discuss why cardio, despite its mental clarity benefits, can lead to increased hunger and calorie consumption, while strength training increases resting metabolic rate through muscle development. We also dive into Tara's personal journey from HIIT workouts to strength training, the mindset shift required to make this transition, and her minimalist approach to supplements, focusing primarily on protein and creatine for optimal results.

Are hip thrusts better than squats for building glutes? Fitness coach Tara LaFerrara settles the age-old debate in this week's Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle Podcast. According to Tara, hip thrusts are indeed superior for glute development, with numerous studies backing this claim. But the real takeaway? The boring basics are what actually work. We discuss why compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and presses deliver better results than isolation exercises and debunk the myth of spot-toning abs. We also dive into how to determine if you're lifting heavy enough using the RPE scale, appropriate rep ranges for different fitness goals, and why consistent "boring basics" outperform flashy social media workout trends in delivering real results. Tara LaFerrara is a certified strength and mobility coach who transformed personal struggles with body image and unhealthy habits into a mission to help women approach fitness from a holistic perspective. With 13 years of industry experience, she advocates for sustainable, enjoyable movement rather than strict regimens, empowering clients through her app Broadzit and virtual training programs. Tara specializes in a well-rounded approach to fitness that combines strength training expertise with mindset coaching, emphasizing community support and individual needs.  What we discuss:  Hip thrusts vs. squats for glute development  The benefits of different compound exercises  "Waste of time" exercises  The truth about spot-toning and targeting belly fat  Women's common fears about lifting heavy weights How to know if you're lifting heavy enough (RPE scale) What progressive overload is and how to implement it Breaking through plateaus in your training The importance of consistency over flashy workout routines Thank you to our sponsor: AquaTru: Get 20% off any purifier at aquatru.com with code HUSTLE Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

Tara LaFerrara's journey as a trainer began in 2013 when she realized the same drive and team spirit she thrived on as a former DI athlete could fuel her coaching.

Tara believes strength goes beyond the gym. She'll push you to grab a heavier weight just as quickly as she'll remind you to trust yourself, listen to your body, and take up space—physically and mentally. Her message? You're capable of more than you think, and she's here to help you prove it. Tara has been featured in SHAPE, Women's Health, and Oxygen Magazine and has partnered with brands like Under Armor and Red Bull. Whether leading a small group of women at her international fitness retreat to coaching one-on-one, her mission remains the same: help women own their strength, build confidence, and prioritize themselves. Now, through her Broads App, she's bringing that same energy to online coaching, creating a community where women feel strong, supported, and unstoppable. We discuss True wellness comes from balancing movement with a nourishing diet and a lifestyle that supports your goals. Embrace physical activities that bring you happiness to create a sustainable and fulfilling fitness journey. Defining clear and achievable fitness objectives ensures consistency and keeps you on track. A structured workout plan and accountability partners can help maintain enthusiasm, even during winter's challenges.

Working out and building muscle makes you sexier. And it isn't because of the changes you might see in your body—you're sexy enough the way you already are—but because of the way you carry yourself, knowing what your body is capable of, and feeling like you're the shit. Then the next magical thing happens: the sexier you feel, the better sex you'll have. Don't we all want better sex? Tara Laferrara and I talk about how our physical practices make sex better, exploring new positions and self-pleasure, celebrating our own bodies, the taboo of talking about sex, and how lube and leggings are related. Working out gives you better sex … 1:52 How sex has changed over an 8 year relationship … 6:09 A Catholic home and learning about sex … 9:17 New explorations … 18:56 The taboo around sex and masturbation … 23:07 A 30-day sex challenge … 29:54 A training practice and sex … 34:32 Giving your body ample rest … 44:27 Trying butt stuff … 50:42 Lube and leggings … 58:36 Celebrating ourselves and our sexiness … 1:06:27 Setting the tone for sex … 1:15:24 Sex injuries … 1:23:21 You don't have to change your body to love it … 1:26:05 Connect with Tara: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook Sign up for Sexy Sunday poetry prompts HERE Connect with Bonnie: Instagram, Email (hello@bonnieweeks.com), Website Check out the Yoga Strong Podcast HERE

Have you ever felt stressed out or anxious about movement? Feeling like you ‘should’ because of a guilty moment? If you answered yes to either of those then this is the episode for you. Tara Laferrara is here to remind us all that movement is something we get to do, not something we have to do. As she shares, movement should be for joy, releasing stress, the high from edorphins, and feeling strong in your body, not becuase you feel forced to. As a personal trainer and movement coach Tara shares her experience from obsessive/extreme fitness to intuive movement that leaves her feeling strong and energized.  In this episode we discuss:Shifting mindsets with movementMoving for joy and stress release, not out of guiltMisconceptions about workoutsExternal pressures that led to her disordered eatingBody image strugglesLeaving toxic fitness culture To connect with Tara: @taralaferraraTo connect with me: @emilyfeikls @letsthrivepodcast

It's not uncommon for people to stick with careers they're unhappy with just because they aren't sure what else they'd do, especially when it comes to "finding your passion". But what if you know what you're passionate about but you're still unsure about taking that path? On today's episode, Tara Laferrara found herself caught in that very dilemma. She knew she was passionate about fitness but didn't think it would become a viable career and make enough money from it. She initially started teaching classes on the side because that's where she felt lit up, that's what she loved. But through the programming in society, from her family, and from others, she didn't think you could just teach classes, so she went the traditional route into the corporate world. She decided she wanted to climb the ladder in advertising. She ended up quitting that job only after 3 days because she just knew that path wasn't for her and she decided to dive in head first into her love of fitness. Now, in under 3 years she has gone on to co-own a brick and mortar gym, Compass fitness, in Colorado. She also does online training through her TL method and program and has amassed over 100k followers on Instagram. She's been featured in Shape, Women's Health, Redbull, Finish Line, among other notable brands and publications. She is a testament to the fact that there is so much opportunity out there now and there are so many ways to do things. You really can create a career out of the thing you love!   Here is what we chat about in this episode: How EVERYONE has doubt and imposter's syndrome. Why you should just get started where you're at. Why it's important to have a good support system. And so much more!

Chances are you know that taking care of your physical well-being can have an incredible effect on your mental health too.

[clear] As a former sprinter and kid-sister of three brothers, movement has always been in my blood. Becoming a NASM certified personal trainer was the best step after college track was in the past. I will never look back. I work as a personal/group fitness trainer and yoga teacher to inspire and be inspired on a daily basis. There is nothing more powerful than someone saying they can't do something, and then doing it. [clear] While the gym is my second home, my passion is sharing fitness education, food, real-life struggles, athletic wear, and plenty of laughs on my social platforms. We're all in this together as a community, or a tribe. [clear] “LIVE THE MOST VIBRANT AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE YOU CAN BY BEING EXACTLY WHO YOU WANT TO BE.
