Where Were We?
These two friends come from different worlds but have become close through their shared experiences as athletes, fitness competitors, dog lovers, coffee addicts, and women. Ali & Ella share their experiences and talk about the things women think but don't share. From running a business, managing kids, women's health, periods, menopause, relationships and much more. Women want to feel connected & not alone. Come be a fly on the wall and tune in every fortnight while you do your morning walk, drop your kids to school, have lunch at your desk or prepare your dinner. Feel connected, maybe a little inspired and hopefully a little lighter with us in your life. If you'd like to contact them you can find them on Instagram @ellamartyn and @aliroserobinson - If you like what you hear, please screenshot it, share it and tag them so they can thank you.

Episode 58: Leave Your Ego at the Door
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we discuss how most gym gains happen when you ditch ego lifting and focus on proper technique. If you're guilty of lifting too heavy, rushing reps, or using momentum to cheat through sets, this episode is your wake-up call.
We break down how ego-driven lifts sabotage long-term progress and risk your joints for short-term bragging rights.
Discover the importance of warm-up sets, proper control, and realistic strength expectations - essentials for sustained gains and injury prevention. With honesty, humor, and expert advice, we empower you to lift smarter, stay injury-free, and build confidence from solid foundations. Stop proving and start improving.
