This week Karen and Paula cover a little bit of everything when it comes to fitness, from the gym to the bedroom to the playground.

Grab a glass of wine (no judgment here!) as we kick things off with the wild ride that is women's fitness: leg warmers, aerobics tapes, diet culture, all of it.

Karen and Paula get real about what they were doing (and wearing) through every era of it. From there we get into why a good workout buddy can make or break your consistency, then make the case for lifting heavy weights (yes, heavier than you're currently doing) and why strength training matters more than ever for women in perimenopause and menopause.

Paula shares her nighttime routine, and how she uses her wearables to track it all.

Then we take a nostalgic detour through peak 80s gym fashion (leg warmers and leotards included) before wrapping up with a hot take on why Gen Alpha needs dodgeball back in their lives. The evolution of women's fitness, workout buddies, heavy weights, better sleep, questionable fashion choices, and a little bit of chaos for the kids.

This one has it all.
