If your workout routine keeps falling apart, it's not a you problem — it's a plan problem. In this episode, Val shares her own real week of workouts (spoiler: nothing went according to plan and it was still a great week), breaks down the brand new 2026 ACSM resistance training guidelines, and gives you the exact framework to build a routine that actually fits your life — not your ideal life. Your imperfect week still counts. The stroller run counts. The 15-minute living room workout counts. Let's talk about it.

In this episode:

  • Why the all-or-nothing mindset is the #1 thing killing your consistency — and the real-life week that proves it
  • What ACSM's first resistance training update in 17 years actually says (and why it's great news for busy moms)
  • The 3-question framework to build a routine around your real schedule
  • The "never miss twice" rule and how to come back without guilt or punishment
  • Why your backup plan IS the plan
