80's Diets and we pay tribute to Richard Simmons! Evolv The Podcast Episode 10...

Evolve the Podcast: Episode 10 – Totally 80s Vibes! Step back in time with us as we celebrate the vibrant and eccentric 80s in our 10th episode of "Evolve the Podcast." This week, Andrea and Julie don their best fluorescent leopard tracksuits and dive into a world filled with quirky fitness icons and bizarre diet trends. If you remember Richard Simmons and his infectious energy, this episode is a delightful trip down memory lane. The 80s were a unique era, marked by bold fashion choices and an array of fitness trends that were as entertaining as they were questionable. Andrea and Julie kick off the episode by paying homage to Richard Simmons, a beacon of positivity and self-love who inspired millions to get off their couches and move. They also give a nod to other fitness legends like Jane Fonda, whose workout videos became a staple in many households. But the episode doesn't stop at fitness icons. Our hosts delve into the wild world of 80s diets, where no fad was too outrageous. From the grapefruit diet, where participants indulged in sugar-coated grapefruit for breakfast, to the infamous eggs and wine diet, Andrea and Julie share some hilarious and shocking diet trends that defined the decade. They even touch on the cabbage diet, which has made a surprising comeback on TikTok as the cabbage detox diet. One of the highlights of this episode is Julie's personal anecdote about her early days as an unqualified aerobics instructor. At just 17, she found herself teaching aerobics to professionals and even pregnant women, despite having no formal training. Her story is both amusing and a testament to the carefree spirit of the 80s. The episode also features a fun segment where Andrea and Julie discuss their "highlights and hiccups" of the week. Julie's highlight is the installation of heating in her home, a much-needed upgrade during the cold winter months. Her hiccup, however, is letting Andrea choose their 80s-inspired costumes for the episode. Andrea, on the other hand, shares a bittersweet moment as her son goes away on camp for nine days. While she enjoys the break, she also misses him dearly. As always, Andrea and Julie bring their signature humour and warmth to the episode, making it a delightful listen. Whether you're a fan of the 80s or just looking for a good laugh, this episode is sure to entertain and bring back fond memories of a bygone era.
