EPISODE 3 – FITNESS WITH ANGELA DAVIS

Bonus Episode: This episode is from an archive of Brooke's previous show, "The Naked Mom."

Brooke welcomes Soul Cycle Master Instructor, founder of A.M.D.I.O Method and 5-time All-American and professional sprinter Angela Davis to the studio to talk about their shared passion for fitness and wellness. Angela talks about the connection between spiritual and mental wellness with the physical work in the gym. Change happens from the inside out! That approach makes it obvious why Angela was named to Oprah's "Supersoul 100" list and was asked to create a 21-day challenge for Oprah.com. The mind-body link and connecting that to her purpose in life and bond to family are a big part of the "why" for Angela. This holistic approach is a key reason Angela's classes have lines out the door and weeks-long waiting lists. Angela's move into being a trainer started with her own journey through post-partum depression. Finding the people in your life who lift you up. Daring to, love or to be brave and persevere when you think you have nothing left. Making an investment in yourself. All of these are reasons it's much bigger than just the physical workout. Brooke and Angela also try to help listeners get past their reasons for not working out and making the leap of faith to tap in to their inner purpose. Angela talks about maintaining belief in the dark times and being grateful for those times because they make her who she is and make her able to appreciate the lighter moments. Working out is a powerful medicine. Just start. Embrace the joy of moving your body! After saying goodbye to Angela, Brooke also shares her own personal passion, philosophy and tips for people who want to make health and fitness a part of their lives. She also talks about the deep satisfaction she gets from teaching her own "Booty Burn" class. As a special bonus, Brooke wants to share this "booty burn" workout iTunes playlist.
