Summary

Peloton classes have made me a much happier and less anxious person. As you’ll hear in this episode, I wish there was a government grant that gave all new mothers Peloton bikes upon the birth of their first child. Being able to exercise and boost those endorphins while the baby is sleeping has been a total game changer for me.

And of their many great instructors, is my absolute favorite.

Emma’s teaching style is exactly what I look for: encouraging, but not too over-the-top. Her mantra is “progress, not perfection,” which seems appropriate, especially in this phase of life and this time of year (holidays = lots of stress and sugar).

In this episode, Emma shares her tips for staying active when you don’t feel motivated; which Peloton classes she actually takes; her “lazy girl ramen” recipe (she’s a bit of a recipe developer herself, her Substack is fabulous and worth a follow!!!), and much more.

We also get into:

* Teaching ourselves to drink water after being raised by parents who NEVER do

* Our guys stealing our skincare products

* Our shifting relationships with caffeine

* The surprisingly important role our pets play in our lives

* Finding a fitness community (Peloton #whattocookcrew, stand up!)

* “Throwing in an egg” for protein

* What made us laugh out loud this past week

Links:

* Emma's book, Live Learn Love Well

* Her Substack newsletter, The Love List

* Emma’s Peloton profile

* My Peloton name, if you want to be friends! @caro_chambers

* Jones Road Beauty’s Miracle Balm

* LMNT electrolyte hydration packets

* Lanniege Lip Mask

* Belkin 3-in-1 charger

0:00.0	Hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of So Into That, the podcast, where I chat with really
0:06.2	cool people about the things that we are into right now. It's January 3rd, the first week of January, resolutions are in the air.
0:15.2	Whether or not you're a New Year's resolution person, a lot of us are kind of like
0:18.8	resetting our health goals or just, you know, attempting to detox our bodies from the pounds and
0:24.2	pounds of sugar that we've been consuming every day for the past two weeks.
0:27.3	That's where I am anyway. I've been like living off of pepperman ice cream and
0:32.4	hot fudge, so it's time to, and hot fudge so it's time to I don't know it's
0:34.4	time to like just kind of shake things up maybe introduce some more vegetables into
0:38.0	the old diet I'm so excited that Emma Lovewell is my guest today.
0:42.6	If you are a pelotoner, you know exactly who I'm talking about.
0:45.8	If you're not a peloton or you probably also know exactly who I'm talking about
0:48.9	because she has grown a name of her own outside of the Peloton community. She was one of the first
0:57.1	instructors at Peloton. She was like number 11 or 12 instructors. She's been there for many many years
1:04.7	and she is my personal fave instructor. Maybe I shouldn't say that in case I interview Peloton
1:10.1	instructors in the future, but you know we're all allowed to have our faves right I think everyone who has a
1:16.1	palaton banker does Peloton works workouts has a favorite or a couple of favorites some of the
1:21.4	instructors are like really like ballbusters and like militant and some days that's what I need but most days what I need is kind of like a bit of calm outside of my like three young boys who are not calm and are very loud.
1:37.0	And Emma is serene and Zen and something that she preaches in her classes in her new book,
1:45.0	Live Learn Love Well, is progress, not perfection.
1:49.2	And as a mom of three, who works a lot,
1:52.4	and some weeks I do really well on my fitness goals and I
1:55.4	get in a workout every single day and I feel really strong and then the next
