Welcome to The Bloom Your Mind Podcast, where we take all of your ideas for what you want, and we turn them into real things. I'm your host, certified coach Marie McDonald. Let's get into it.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to episode number 133 of The Bloom Your Mind Podcast. This was an amazing interview that I did with Ashley Adam, who trains me physically and has for the last five months or so in functional movement and exercise. She's changed my life, and this is the first of a two-part series on some physical habits that have really just changed my life, my husband's life, my family's life, and helped me heal from injury and a bunch of pain and all kinds of other junk.
I wanted to share these practices in a two-part series, and I wanted to mention before you listen to the amazing Ashley Adam that something funky happened with my mic when I was recording this, and the settings were off and I did not know it. So you'll notice that my own audio in this interview is a little like tinny and “echoey, which is not the norm. And Ashley's luckily sounds amazing.
So luckily she's talking more than me in this episode, and I'll be back to our normal crystal clear audio next time. Enjoy the interview.
Well, hello everybody, and welcome to episode number 133 of the Bloom Your Mind Podcast. Today, I have a very special guest. Today, I have with me Ashley Adam, who is an individual that has changed my life over the last six months, and impacted our family in such incredible ways through her instruction in exercise and physical training.
And I'm going to talk a little bit about that and let Ashley introduce herself in a minute. But first, I'm going to tell you a little story. But welcome, Ashley.
Thank you. I'm glad to be here.
So y'all, I have to tell you this story on the podcast about my experience with my hip and how I had this injury that happened maybe almost a year ago now, maybe 10 months ago that really took me down for a while. I couldn't walk for multiple days. I went in and sort of utilized a regular traditional Western medicine approach.
Went in, got some x-rays, and had really frustrating responses. So I got form emails, was told to just medicate basically, and that it was only going to get worse over time. So within all of that, I started going to seek some more holistic practitioners to help me with my hip.
And one of the things we identified is that my 20-year practice of really strenuous hot yoga and sort of like adult jungle gym yoga, where I was doing inversions and lots of separate hip moves, was not something that was available to me right now and was probably exacerbating my hip. So I switched over and one day met Ashley at my friend's birthday party. And Ashley described to me that she has a history of teaching bar and that she's really passionate about bringing people back from injury through her Pilates practice and her fusion classes.
So I started becoming interested in this and I started taking Ashley's classes. Originally, I went to a park where she offers classes once a week in San Diego, in a park at an elementary school, which was like so gorgeous and wonderful and challenging. The class itself was physically challenging.
An amazing group of people there, so fun. And then I started taking her new program that she rolled out about five or six months ago, that was every four or five mornings, and she's iterated on that. And so it's gone from every five mornings to every four mornings.
And my husband started coming into that class with me. Since I have taken that class, I feel like physically I have totally changed my body. I also introduced two months ago a blood sugar program, which I'm going to talk about in the next episode.
So the combination of these two have completely just changed my life. But these morning exercise classes with Ashley are so amazing. And I've talked before about how my husband and I wake up, I do my little morning routine, then we sit and meditate together with a candle, and then we get ready and we do these classes with Ashley together.
So it's not only changed my own life and my own physical experience of my body and helped me to heal, but also created this beautiful space that I share with my husband that we both love and he's transforming his body too. So I am so excited to bring Ashley to you for anybody that is interested in this and I also have to share, I don't know how to share this in a humble way because I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but people who have known me for a while keep saying, what have you done to your body? What are you doing?
You look great. What are you doing? And it feels so good when people ask me that, but every single person that asks me, I'm like, her name is Ashley.
That's what I'm doing. And so I wanted to bring Ashley onto the podcast because I just am experiencing such an incredible change in my own life. So Ashley, please introduce yourself and tell everybody what you do.
Okay. Well, thank you so much for having me and thank you for that beautiful story. It always brings tears to my eyes to hear the changes that people experience through this practice because that's how I got started, basically.
I was experiencing change. And I guess what I would say, like in a nutshell, if I were to choose one sentence of what I do, I say that I teach movement with purpose. So I don't like to say, oh, I teach bar or I teach strength training or, you know, I teach exercise because that's not at all what I'm trying to do.
It's obviously, it's the vessel that I am using, but I'm really trying to teach people to connect to their bodies and connect to themselves through movement. And that's why I chose the name of my business as Kinnect Fitness. And the spelling is all funny, and I could go into a whole story on that.
It was really fun to come up with that. But the spelling is very intentional for like kinetic energy and all of these things. But yeah, I'm really, really, really passionate about people not just exercising, but moving in their bodies and learning about their bodies.
And from there, really understanding what they need in any given moment, knowing that even if you're an avid athlete, you're going to have days that your body is saying no. And we're taught like no pain, no gain, right? Like that's the old school teachings that still prevail today.
And a lot of different messaging in the fitness world. And as I got deeper and deeper into the fitness world, I really understood how that messaging is there. And it's all about what your body looks like.
And it's all about pushing harder. And it's all about your bikini body. And for me, the metamorphosis that I went through in my own body and my own self, and also in my business, and in the way that I teach and what I offer, I really started to notice how important it is for us to look at this from a whole mind, body, soul standpoint as cliche as that sounds.
It's like it's so, so, so true and it's so important.
That's so good. It's interesting that those very specific things that you say, I have to say the thing aside from the actual content and the accessibility of your program, and we'll talk a little bit about the longevity research that you've done and how that weaves into your program. Those things all are what make it work for me because it pulls in strength training and weights and it pulls in Pilates and BARD, pulls in HIIT classes and cardio, all these things that I'm looking for that I don't have to look anywhere, but it's a one-stop shop, right?
So that is amazing and it really works for Max and I. But the other couple of things that are so special about your classes, from my point of view, are that they're really hard if you want them to be, but you can also scale them back and make them super easy. Like that's for me that they're hard, they're challenging.
But I really feel like on a day when I'm really tired, it's so easy to scale back. But secondly, how there is meditation and mindfulness, mixed in, really helps again make it a one-stop-shop. We meditate at the beginning before we start the class, but then you offer a meditation at the end.
And it really gives us that hit of stillness in our day. But the biggest thing for me is the clear level of mastery. And I don't even know if I've ever talked to you about this, but that I feel when you're teaching, because the other day you taught pigeon, which I have done, it's a yoga pose that I have done for 25 years.
And the way you articulated that pose made me get it. After 25 years. And I feel that all the time in your classes.
The way you articulate things is so much easier to understand than most teachers. But also you have so much awareness around alignment that I feel safe in your hands. I feel you pause yourself all the time and make verbal adjustments for alignment.
That help me make sure I'm protecting my body, my back, right? Or whatever part it is. So that level of mastery just creates, I can relax in the classes.
I'm not afraid I'm gonna hurt myself.
I love that so much. Cause that's literally my passion, right? Like making sure that people are safe and making sure that people have options for any given day.
For those days that you need to back off, you know how to back off for the days that you want to push harder, you know how to push harder, safer, right? Yeah. And I mean, I blush when you say mastery, cause I don't consider myself a master, but I very much am passionate about always learning and always trying to deepen my understanding to be able to deepen my teachings to other people.
So, yeah.
Well, tell us a little bit about your journey and how you got here.
We'd love to hear your story. It has been such a crazy journey. It's been such an organic journey, which has been really beautiful.
If you would have told me, however many years ago now, before I got started, I started training to be a bar teacher in 2008. And if you would have told me, even just like six months before that, that I would be, you know, teaching bar, let alone owning a studio, let alone starting my own brand and doing all this stuff, I would just would have been like, what are you talking about? I am, even now, I'm a little bit nervous.
I'm a person that gets like nervous speaking in front of people, even though I will teach, you know, big classes. And that's like where I feel the most comfortable. I would have never envisioned that for myself before.
So long story short, I started taking bar because I was living up in San Francisco at the time. And a friend of mine was telling me, she thought I would really love this class. And like anyone else, when someone tells you like to start something new, it took me like three months to take my first class.
And then my first class in, I absolutely loved it. And so I basically just started taking bar. I was a huge runner at the time.
And I had been in a car accident. And all of these things compounded over time where I ended up in my mid 20s, not able to walk more than like two blocks because my back was so bad. And it was right as I was going into training to be a bar teacher that this started to really flare up.
And I had already been taking bar classes before that. And like my sole purpose for taking bar was to change my body. I wanted my body to look different.
And that was the only reason I was taking class was to push hard and try to change my body. And simultaneously, my back starts really flaring up. I can't walk and I can't even be at social events without seeking a chair when I first walk in the door to make sure I'm gonna be able to sit down after five minutes.
And I'm sort of freaking out about this, but I was taking my bar training through, luckily through a company that really cared about alignment and they were teaching us about alignment. And so I started taking those teachings into my personal practice and really being like the only person in class that would back off of something and I would have to ask the instructor what else can I do? This isn't working for me.
My back is hurting. Whereas before, I would push harder and just be like, oh, this hurts so bad. And I would just keep doing it, right?
And so through that, I wish I would have chronicled, you know, in a journal or something how long it took. But I think if I look back, it was probably about eight months of like really backing off of my practice and coming from a place of like, I don't care what my body looks like right now. I just want to be able to walk because I'm in my mid 20s and I can't walk.
And this is like really scary. And that was when I really understood. It was like eight months into it.
All of a sudden, my roommate asked if we wanted, if I wanted to go for a walk with her and I didn't even think about it. I said, yes, we went on the super long walk through San Francisco. And when we went to turn around, I had this moment where I just like stopped and just started crying.
And she was like, what's going on? And I was like, do you understand that we just went on a 45 minute walk? And I didn't even think about it.
I just said yes to go walking with you. Whereas before I'd be like, I can't go for a walk. And we've walked for 45 minutes and I'm in no pain.
And I just had this revelation of like, oh my gosh, my back is doing better. And I don't even, you know, I was going to a chiropractor and going to physical therapy, but they even got to a place before this that they said, they recommended that I get surgery, that there was no other option. They had done everything that they could.
I'd been seeing them for like a year. And it was so severe that they were saying, you might lose control of your bowel movements.
Oh my gosh, Ashley.
Yeah. And I'm like, oh my gosh, you know, just freaking out. So I even scheduled an appointment with a surgeon.
And when I walked out of that appointment, I had this moment of like, I haven't done enough. I haven't tried enough things to avoid surgery. I want surgery to be the very, very last thing that I do.
And I want to be able to tell myself, I tried everything else. And this is the only solution is I do have to get surgery. So, you know, flash forward to this walk, all of that had happened previously, you know, and all I had done really, like, I still was going to see this chiropractor, even though I wasn't getting much relief from them.
But really, I think the difference was me backing off of my practice, which is such a funny thing to say, right? I was going very consistently, but I wasn't pushing myself. I was all about just staying in my body and listening the minute I felt pain, I would stop, I would adjust, do something else, take a break, whatever.
And so for me, it was this revelation of not only changing what I was physically doing, but changing my mindset from trying to change my body to trying to heal my body, and trying to listen to my body, that changed everything for me. And honestly, that is when my body changed. Also, that is like you were saying, everyone started commenting about my posture.
They were commenting about how my body looked and just like, oh my gosh, what are you doing? What are you doing, you know?
Same, yeah.
Yeah, and for me, it was like, I'm just trying to be able to walk.
Same, I was trying to be able to walk again. It's wild, the similarities in the story, because I couldn't walk. And one day, I was trying to take a walk with my husband and broke down in tears, because I was limping in the first two blocks.
And I'm like, I'm in my mid 40s, and they're telling me this is the rest of my life and it's only going to get worse. And I have an eight year old and a 12 year old, this is going to be my life. It's so sad.
And it's just so striking how sometimes the body talks to us in that way. Like you're just going about it wrong. If you'll listen, like I feel like my hip turned into a great teacher for me.
Totally. I'm pushing too hard in these other ways. And I need to back off similarly.
100%.
Listen. So good.
Yeah. And that's the journey that I went on. And then, of course, that opened up this whole new world to me of connection and connecting to my body, but also connecting to my thoughts and connecting to slowing down and really seeing the value in that.
And then as that opened up, I started diving more and more into meditation and more spiritual stuff that I had never done before. And I can say now, because I'm so deep into this now, that I am a deeply, deeply spiritual person and I would have, I never knew that before. And so it just opened up this whole new space for me that just got better and better and better and better.
And so then, of course, I was just obsessed with it and like, oh my God, I need to share this with people. I was like in a whole other world. I was working for a nonprofit in San Francisco, and I decided to open up my own studio.
And I grew up in San Diego. And at the time, there were so many bar studios up in San Francisco. So it was sort of a bad business decision to open up a studio there.
And I was ready for a change too. And so I moved back to San Diego to open my bar studio. And as the story goes for many small businesses, COVID hit.
I was almost 10 years into business when COVID hit. I had just opened up a second studio and just had my baby. And we were about to hit our year anniversary in that studio and COVID hit.
And so it was downtown in Little Italy area. Like just outside Little Italy. Yeah.
So I did what so many fitness professionals did overnight. OK, we're just, you know, we thought it was just going to close for two weeks. We're going to be closed for two weeks.
So I'm going to figure this out and hop on Zoom. I've never, I don't think I had ever been on Zoom before, even for like a call for someone else. And let alone teach online.
And I was just like, I'm going to hate this. I have no idea what I'm doing. It's going to be so uncomfortable.
I was in my living room shoving coffee table to the side. My kids were crawling all over me, you know? And I just said to my students, we're just, we're going to do this together.
And we did. And it was easier than I thought. I liked it so much more than I thought.
And as COVID went on and on and on and on, I really felt called to all of the messages I was getting from people of how I was just keeping them going and offering, again, not just exercise, but a removal from what was going on and a release. And then I started adding more and more mindfulness into it. And when I finally decided to let go of my physical space because I was one of those people that was like, I'm going to get through this, I'm going to go back to my studio.
But when I realized that it was going to be a lot longer than I thought, and I would have to go into a lot more debt than I was already in from all the... Oh, right. I was just like, I can't keep this going because I don't know how much longer it's going to go.
So I decided to rebrand and start a virtual business and a park. I had started teaching in the park late through the quarantine and realized, oh my goodness, how much I love that. Being out in nature.
Amazing. Yeah.
Oh my gosh. The two of those things together, class and nature, it really opened up my soul in a different way. So I created this model where now I'm a virtual business and outdoors in San Diego, which was something again that I would have never thought.
I would have thought I'd be outside of the studio.
So who are your programs for now? Who would you say is a great candidate for coming to you and taking your online programs?
I mean, honestly, I am creating this for everyone. And my hope is that every single person could take my class and get something out of it and feel comfortable and get results. That is, when you take a marketing business class, they tell you, you got to think of one specific person, right?
And you even think about the clothes that they wear and all of these things. And it's like this very niche, niche, niche thing that's always been so hard for me, because I want this to be available to everybody. I want it to be for people who haven't exercised a day in their life or haven't exercised in a really long time or are coming back from a really severe injury.
I want it to be for the avid athletes, you know? And so I want it to be for couples. I want it to be for men and women.
And that's really where I come from at the detriment of some of my marketing coaches that I have. Like, no, no, no, you have to pick one person.
I was just telling you the other day that I think you should market to couples, but then here I send your information to everybody. I love it for myself and I'm athletic, right? I'm recovering from an injury, but I'm strong and have done really challenging athletic stuff.
And I'm 5'1, and female, and my husband is 6'2, and a hundred pounds more than me, right? And loves it. So it's hard to describe to people, it's yes, bonding for both of us, but really good physically for both of us too.
And when I tried to describe your class the other day to somebody, she said, oh, that's so cute that your husband's doing bar stuff. And I was like, oh, I'm definitely not describing it right, because yeah, there's bar moves in there, but it does not feel like a bar class. There's HIIT, there's strength training, there's weightlifting, there's stretching.
It's just it's for everybody. And it's really amazing to me that within one class, you can actually create a space where I'm like, oh, yeah, my parents in their 70s could do this. And I sent them all the information.
But also, I can do this. And someone that's more authentic than me can do this. It's just really cool how you create such an inclusive model for each class where you can dial it up and dial it down.
Yeah. Because that's important not only for people of different ages or different backgrounds, but it's important for every single person on any given day, right? I would say in my class, like, every day, your body is so different, depending on what you ate, what you drank, what you didn't eat, what you didn't drink, depending on what's going on emotionally in your body.
And we're not taught this. We're taught to have this regimen that you do the same thing every day, and you push as hard as you can on those days. And that's the only way you get results.
And it's not at all. Like, once we start connecting to ourselves, that's really when the results start compounding on themselves. And you really, I mean, you know, as we've talked about, that was when I experienced the biggest changes in my physical appearance, was when I wasn't even thinking about my physical appearance.
I was thinking about my feeling.
And I'm learning in the blood sugar program, how aligned all the research is with that as well, right? Your sleep and your blood sugar levels and your body's stress level, if you push really hard on the days when you're stressed, it's not gonna be helpful. You're gonna spike your cortisol levels and the workout is gonna be counter-productive for your body, right?
Exactly.
The thing that I'm interested in is that, I know you did a whole bunch of longevity research in order to come up with your new kind of system of classes that Max and I have been doing the last five months or so. What, is there anything that was like really surprising to you in your longevity research? Or is there anything you want to share with people?
Yeah, I mean, I would say longevity is like all the rage right now, which is awesome, right? So there's a lot of information out there. And I think that was part of what I was trying to do was to get through all that information and come up with something very concrete for people to follow because it can be so overwhelming, right?
I mean, it was so overwhelming for me even in my research of just like, oh my goodness, I mean, you should see all the notes that I have and trying to like figure out how to put this into a program. But basically, like one of the biggest surprises for me was finding out that like, hit type cardio is so much more beneficial for our heart health than just like pushing super hard for like a really long time. And research shows that like just four minutes of hit a day can impact your heart health.
And for me, that was massive because I'm like, okay, this is great because for people who are just feeling really overwhelmed by cardio or really overwhelmed by a longer hit class, they can build up to longer versions by just doing four minutes a day while simultaneously increasing their heart health and their capacity and their VO2 max and all of these things, right, that are so important. So really changing my model from like my cardio classes have always been 45 minutes. And like it was hit-ish because of course, you can't just like push as hard as you “an for 45 minutes.
I would have these moments where we would stop. But after researching, I really realized, okay, no, we really should go on this like 40 seconds on 20 seconds off. And there's different varieties of that.
You could do 30 seconds, 30 seconds, whatever, you know, 45, 15. But really 40, 20 is a really great model. And having that 20 seconds of like rest for a minute and then hitting it again, like that is best for your heart on so many different levels.
And so for me, changing like my whole way of teaching cardio was was, yeah, that was surprising of like, okay, I need to change this actually.
And it also echoes the whole through line that we've been talking about, which is like you don't have to, you get to rest, you have an inhale and an exhale, right? So you put the effort in and then you break for a minute. And that's actually better for your body than pushing, pushing, pushing without breaking.
Totally. Yeah.
Pretty a burst. That's amazing.
Okay.
So the other thing that I love is that I love that I can go to the park “and take your program once a week, although I haven't been there in a while for my schedule. But I love that you teach a live class once a week so that I can see you, right? Have that connection.
And then once a month, you've been doing a series of live classes for a week. So I get to see you every morning and we do it at 6 a.m. But also, any morning I can't make it when you're doing a live, it's just immediately recorded and I can do it later. And then you have this massive library of resources.
So most people, I think, don't do your classes live. They do them whenever they want, right? And you have hundreds of videos.
But you also have a couple, what I like, I get overwhelmed by like 200 videos. Make your own when I don't know what I'm doing. So I just do the ones that you put together.
And I just follow that. And Max and I follow it every month. But you vary it month to month.
It's like the perfect thing to create consistency, but keep it fresh. So I love that.
Oh, good. I'm glad. Yeah, that was my whole point of this new program that I created.
It's called, well, you saw the metamorphosis of that too. I first started out doing five days. And then I always, I'm really, really major on feedback.
As you know, we're like texting all the time. And I do this with a lot of my students that my students have know that about me now. So they're not afraid to send me feedback, you know, over a text or email or whatever, even phone calls sometimes.
Because I love that. And that's what helps me teach better and figure out what programs are working for people. And a lot of people told me, you know, five days is like a little much for me on some weeks.
And so what should I do if I'm not doing five days? Some people wanted more, right? So I decided to create the Connect4 program.
And I liked the little play on words for anybody that remembers that game. But it's based off of all of my longevity stuff. And just so that you can get everything you need in four days and 45 minutes a day.
And “then great, if you want to do more, I have recommendations for what you should add on. And if you don't, then you have completed it in these four days. And it's, you know, your strength training, your heavy lifting, your cardio and like mobility type stuff.
Mobility can sometimes sound geriatric, but it is so vital for us, right? At any age to be doing movement that supports our joints and supports movement in our lives.
Mobility one's my favorite out of all of them. I love it. I feel like it's one of the harder ones too.
I think it's so fun. I love it.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so I also want to say that for Max and I, we love the four days and then on day five, we take an hour-long brisk walk around the neighborhood, and so we just vary it that way. It's so nice.
Yeah.
And I also wanted to share with you, I'm going to ask you to just like a couple more questions to wrap up, just if there's anything else you want everybody to know, and then I'll also ask, how can people connect to you? How can they “find you? And of course, everybody will put Ashley's information in the show notes, so you can just go to the show notes and find her there, but she'll say it here.
But I did want to tell you Ashley, that you have also. Not only does Ashley's background for her videos, it's the most beautiful, I want to say glamorous, but it's just delightful to look at. It's all white in her studio, but there's a giant disco ball in the background.
And it's so fun. We love the background. It's so fun.
You're always wearing some beautiful workout outfit that sets you apart from the background. You're super easy to follow. But you also have a signature laugh that you do.
In videos, you do. And Max and I love it. And it just makes us delighted.
For instance, it's like spark of joy. So we're not only getting an awesome workout, like we feel safe, but we giggle with you. You throw in a laugh.
You make yourself laugh during the class.
Oh my gosh, love that.
And it's such a nice balance of like, hey, this is important, but not serious. Totally. We're just not taking ourselves too seriously.
Oh gosh, no.
The whole set up that you have is so wonderful. So thank you so much for what you do. Thank you for the impact you've had on our lives.
It's so big. Finding you was so special and important to our family. And so I'm so grateful.
I hope so many people find you, that hear about you and how can they find you?
Speaking of. Okay, so I'll say that in a second, just because I wanted to say how much I love that you brought that up, because that is all of my people know this, that I do not take myself or life too seriously or these workouts. You know, I as much as I'm here to like, really try to tell you to honor yourself, I also joy is so important in our lives, and especially right now.
And so I even, you know, during COVID days and sometimes even still, my kids will pop into the class. I let it happen. My dog comes in sometimes, and I'm all about just real life situations and just bringing joy.
And we, as you know, I cue dance parties all the time in our class, if you want to break out and dance, because I think we need that more and more and more and more. So the place to find me, my website. So the name of the business is Kinnect Fitness, and the website is connectwithus.com.
And as I was mentioning earlier, connect is spelled a special way. It's K-I-N-N-E-C-T. And that's a whole other story, but it is very intentional from kinetic energy and all of these things that I came up with.
And I'm also on Instagram. I just started a YouTube channel. I'm trying to get in with the times here.
I even started a TikTok. I kind of need help with that. Anyone's out there that can help me, please do.
But yeah.
All right, beautiful. So check out Ashley's website. And then from the website, what do they do?
They just, they can purchase classes there. And there's a contact if they want to reach out to you questions.
Yeah, there's a contact there. There are, there's a bunch of information on there. I am an open book.
So if you ever want to contact me with any questions whatsoever, I really, really love chatting with people so, and I can do one on ones if that's helpful for someone to feel more comfortable. I can even just hop on the phone and chat with you. Yeah.
Yeah, Ashley is to this physical exercise routine to mobility, to longevity, to all of this, her work like as I am to my work where I could just talk about it all day long and nerd out on it all day long. She answers every text right away and she like geeks out with me on stuff in the class. It's so fun to have you so connected to the work, right?
And so accessible, it's beautiful. And then you should all know that Ashley's going to come over in two days from now and do a one-on-one private session with me to help me get ready for two weeks on a road trip to understand how I can like work out on the road in a light, easy way because I'm on a road trip just with me and my kids and how to balance my body after driving all day and all that good stuff. So that I'm really excited for that one-on-one with you.
Yeah. And you inspired me to create a little module for people traveling this summer. So that's what I've been filming this week is amazing.
Yeah. So you can do it in a hotel room or wherever you are.
That's awesome. I learned so much from you. Thank you so much, Ashley.
Everybody get in contact. Hopefully, I'll see you in her classes. And we just so appreciate that you took the time to share your incredible wisdom and the gifts that you're offering with all of us today.
