Baddie In Progress Podcast

I'm breaking down my actual supplement stack this week — no crazy routine, just what I take and why.The 2 I take daily:Women's multivitamin (liquid, from Mary Ruth's)Creatine — my #1 non-negotiable supplementWe're talking about why creatine deserves way more credit for women specifically: supporting muscle and bone mass (especially heading into perimenopause/menopause), reducing bloating and puffiness, supporting cellular hydration, and even helping with mood and brain fog around your cycle. And NO — it will not make you bulky. That takes years of dedicated training, not a scoop of creatine.The extras I rotate in as needed:Electrolytes (dehydration days)A magnesium/melatonin sleep blend (Beam)A nootropic for focus (Gray Matter) — my swap for a second coffeeWhat I don't take: fat burners, GLP-1s, or anything promising a shortcut. My stack is built around recovery, muscle health, and brain function — that's it.Not medical advice — always check with your doctor before starting a new supplement, especially if you're managing a health condition.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

This week I'm talking about something that comes up constantly in my DMs: feeling intimidated at the gym — especially in the weight section, especially as a woman in a male-dominated space.We're breaking down:Why 90% of the "everyone's watching me" feeling is all in your headWhy the weight section isn't just "for the guys" — you're paying for that membership tooThe mindset shift from "I don't know what I'm doing" to "everyone started as a beginner"Why nobody at the gym is actually paying attention to you (and that's a good thing)How showing up for yourself inspires other women, even when you don't realize itIf you've ever hesitated to walk up to the squat rack because you felt like you didn't belong — this episode is for you. You belong in every square inch of that gym. Time to take up space.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

If you've been putting off getting your nutrition together because you don't have time to meal prep on Sundays — this episode is going to change things for you.I'm a fitness coach. I'm in shape. And I do not spend three hours on a Sunday prepping a week's worth of food. Not even close. In this episode I'm walking you through exactly how I eat every single week — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — without a single dedicated meal prep session. Just five extra minutes added onto whatever I'm already doing, and I'm set up for success the next day.We're talking about why lunch is the meal that trips most people up, how I use dinner leftovers to solve that problem, what I eat on the mornings I have to be at the studio before 6 AM, and why the complicated Sunday routine you see all over Instagram is not the only way to stay consistent with your nutrition.It's not groundbreaking. It's just what actually works.And if you want the exact meals I'm making this week — DM me the word "LIST" on Instagram and I'll send you my grocery list and meal plan. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the whole week. The same meals that have been getting me results.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

I saw a post this week that claimed five Pilates moves will flatten your stomach. And I need to address it — because it's not the full picture and women deserve better information than that.I'm a Pilates instructor. I'm also a strength coach. And I'm telling you that no workout, no matter how many times you do it, is going to give you a flat stomach on its own. The real work is in your nutrition. Tracking your macros, eating in a calorie deficit, getting the right proportions of protein, fats, and carbs — that's what actually shows the results you're working toward in the gym.In this episode we're talking about why nutrition will always matter more than your training, why going to the gym is actually the easy part, and what it really takes to have visible abs and a toned body. The fitness internet is full of posts that give you half the truth. This is the other half.If having a flat stomach, toned arms, sculpted legs and a lifted booty is your goal — DM me the word "TONED" and let's talk.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

Fair warning — you can probably hear my dogs in the background of this one. I'm recording from my couch at 8:30 in the morning, running on bad sleep, with cramps that have been beating my ass for three days straight. I called in subs for my other 3 classes this morning. I feel completely terrible.And I'm here anyway. Because that's the point.This is episode 12 and I haven't missed one yet — and I'm not starting today. In this episode I'm talking about consistency. Not the pretty, aesthetic, everything-went-according-to-plan version. The real version. The showing up on your worst days version. The putting in the reps even when you have absolutely nothing left version.We're getting into how mastering consistency in the gym was the thing that made it trickle into every other area of my life — my podcast, my business, my content, my mindset. Why the gym is one of the hardest things you can choose to do consistently, especially in a country where temptation is literally everywhere. And why so much of your fitness journey is actually mental — and what changes when you finally figure that out.I might be a little delulu in this one. Bear with me. But I think it might be one of the most honest episodes I've recorded yet.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

You're tracking your macros. You're showing up to the gym. You're trying to stay consistent. And you still feel like garbage, can't stop eating, and your results have stalled. Before you download another program or cut another food group — when's the last time you got 8 hours of sleep?In this episode I'm getting personal about what I've noticed in my own body when my sleep is on versus when it's not — and then breaking down what's actually happening inside your body when you're running on 5 hours. We're talking hunger hormones, cortisol, muscle recovery, gym performance, and yes — your skin. Because bad sleep shows up on your face too and no serum is fixing that.This episode is for the woman who's doing everything right and still feels like she's fighting herself every single day. The answer might be the simplest one you've ever heard.Go to sleep.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

In this episode I'm talking about the real reason women stay stuck even when they know exactly what to do — and it has nothing to do with motivation, willpower, or discipline. It's about consistency, identity, and what it actually takes to become the woman who follows through instead of the woman who keeps starting over.And at the end I'm sharing something I do once a year that I've never talked about on here before.Once a year I take one woman through 12 full weeks of fitness and nutrition coaching — completely free. One spot. This is it for the year. If you've been stuck in the knowing-but-not-doing cycle and you're ready for someone to actually be in your corner — link to apply is in my bio.

A few weeks ago I was doing everything right. Hitting my 10k steps, tracking my macros more consistently than ever, showing up to every workout. And I was still in my head. Still questioning myself. Still wondering why I wasn't seeing the physical changes I was working toward.Then last week it happened. My legs and arms looking more toned and lean than ever. Feeling like I'm in the best shape of my life — better than when I was running consistently last year.In this episode I'm taking you through exactly what that period of doubt looked like, the signs of progress I was seeing that I wasn't giving myself enough credit for, and why the physical results are always the last thing to show up. They're the lagging indicator — proof that what you've been doing is working, just on a timeline your body controls, not you.If you're in that place right now where you're putting in the work and feel like nothing is changing — this episode is for you. Don't you dare quit right now.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

Episode 8: In this episode I'm getting into something nobody in the fitness industry wants to say out loud — "I can't afford it" is almost never actually about the money. It's about not believing you'll follow through. It's about being scared to try again and fail again. It's about not wanting to admit that the only thing standing between you and your goal is you actually doing the work.This episode isn't a pitch. It's a conversation about what's really going on when we use money as a reason to stay exactly where we are — and what it's actually costing you to keep waiting.If this one hits home, you already know what to do.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

Episode 7: You did everything right this week. Hit your macros, got your workouts in, stayed on track. Then the weekend happened and by Sunday you're back to square one wondering what went wrong.In this episode we're talking about why the weekend keeps derailing your progress — whether you're restricting so hard all week that Friday becomes a free-for-all, or you genuinely don't realize how quickly it adds up. We're getting into what mindful weekends actually look like, how to enjoy your brunch and your drinks without blowing your macros, and why the spiral after the weekend is doing more damage than the weekend itself.You don't have to choose between a social life and your goals. You just need a structure that works for both.And if you want exactly that — grab my free weekend blueprint, just DM me "WEEKEND" and I'll sent it over. It's the same framework I use with my clients to make weekends work for them instead of against them.Instagram: @andreamartinez.fitclick here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

Episode 6: If you've been going to the gym consistently and your body still looks exactly the same as it did six months ago — this episode is for you. And before you blame your genetics, I need you to ask you one question: are you grabbing the same weights every single time?In this episode I'm breaking down progressive overload — what it actually is, why your body stops changing when your workouts stop getting harder, and why most women are stuck in a loop of showing up without actually progressing. We're also talking about why women specifically fall into this trap, why comfortable workouts are keeping you small, and what it looks like to actually push yourself without going overboard.If you'd like my help with this, apply for my 1:1 coaching program!

Episode 5: Every woman who's ever told me she doesn't think she can do it — I want you to hear this. That feeling didn't come out of nowhere. It came from years of telling yourself you were going to do something and not doing it. Small things. Big things. Doesn't matter. Every time you broke that promise to yourself, you made your own words mean a little less.In this episode we're getting into the real reason confidence breaks down, why discipline has nothing to do with being hard on yourself, and how self-respect + not wanting to be average is actually what separates the woman who follows through from the woman who's still waiting to feel ready.This one's going to call you out a little. That's the point.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

Episode 4: Last week I strength trained 3 times instead of 5. I made it to Pilates on the days I couldn't get to the gym. My protein wasn't at 130g every day — so I aimed for 100g instead and kept moving. And at no point did I spiral, quit, or decide to start over Monday.In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on what an off-track week actually looks like — not the dramatic kind, the real kind (for me). The week where life just gets in the way and your plan needs to be flexible. I'm talking about the mindset shift that kept me going, why "done is better than perfect" isn't just a cute saying, and what I want you to do the next time your week looks nothing like you planned.Because the woman who makes progress isn't the one who never slips. She's the one who doesn't let a messy week become a messy month.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

Episode 3: I teach Pilates everyday, and I'm about to tell you it's not going to give you the toned look you're after. In this episode, I'm breaking down what "toned" actually means, why lifting weights is the missing piece, and where the fear of getting "bulky" even came from. If Pilates has been your whole plan, this one might change things for you.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/

Episode 2: In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes a bit — how I actually got into coaching, and why my approach looks different from what you've probably been told before. We're talking about getting real results without forcing your way through restriction, and why "I've tried everything" might not mean what you think it means. If you've ever felt like you've done it all and still come up short, this one's for you.click here to send fan mail :)my instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/andreamartinez.fit/
