We would love to hear what topics matter to you! Drop us a text and let us know!
What if your strongest self is one tap away? We sit down with trainer Kate Bustos to unpack how telehealth turned strength training into something simple, portable, and surprisingly personal. Kate shares the story of moving online during 2020, juggling a newborn, and discovering that short, focused sessions with dumbbells and kettlebells can outpace hour-long gym trips—because consistency wins.
Across the conversation, we get into why strength isn’t optional, especially for women 40 and up. Kate explains how lifting supports bone density, posture, and metabolic health while still pushing your heart rate. Think full-body circuits that fit into 30 minutes and travel well—hotel rooms, living rooms, and everything in between. We also talk about gym intimidation and how a virtual coach builds confidence: real-time form checks, clear programming, and zero wandering from machine to machine wondering what to do next.
Nutrition gets the practical treatment too. Kate breaks down daily protein goals, realistic calorie ranges, and the power of meal prep without food rules. From her “eat what I eat” approach to simple grocery lists and portion visuals, you’ll hear how small, repeatable habits fuel better workouts and steadier energy. Whether you want a live session, a group option, or a four- or twelve-week plan you can follow on your schedule, Bustos Training makes it easy to start and easier to stick with it.

SPEAKER_01 (01:10):

introduce you all to KateBustos.
So she and her husbandcollectively have Bustos
training.
And um she has been in theoverall health and wellness
space for a really long time,her husband for a really long
time.
I've known her in the medicinespace because she worked in the
(01:31):
medical office with me for along time in neurosurgery.
Actually, she was like aneurosurgery rock star with me.
And so we kind of got to knoweach other really well there,
even though we had a past umworking together before that.
And then, you know, as we allknow, COVID happened, and so
each of us kind of switchedgears and changed how we did
things.
Well, then she started thrivingdoing her health and wellness um
(01:54):
training sessions with herpatients or her clients.
Um, I say patients, she saysclients.
Um, telehealth, and so that'skind of when she kicked it off.
And and I even became a clientof hers for a really long time
because I wasn't able to go dothe things and I needed someone
to keep me accountable.
And who better than my dearfriend who would kick me in the
rear and be like, get off yourbutt?
(02:16):
And so she did, and she's justamazing.
And so I have her here today,and I want you guys to have an
opportunity to understand thatyou know, telehealth is so much
more than just seeing yourprovider.
We've talked about havingnutrition uh on the on the speed
dial for telehealth, we'vetalked about having counseling
(02:36):
and and um being able to see amental health provider on speed
dial via telehealth.
Well, guys, you can also seeyour trainer on speed dial via
telehealth, and here she is, andshe is fantastic.
So, Kate, why don't you let usknow kind of how that got
started, what it looks like foryour clients, how do they do it,
how do they find you?
(02:57):
What's the gig?
SPEAKER_00 (02:59):
Yeah, so um you're right.
In 2020, everything shifted,everything for everyone.
It all changed dramatically.
So my husband actually uh kickedoff starting seeing um a lot of
his clients um virtually, andand I was like, well, gosh, you
know, if he can do it, why can'tI?
(03:19):
And about a year later, um I hada baby, a surprise-free uh 40
baby, my IUD baby.
So I started looking too atother avenues.
And since Andrew had had suchgreat success with it, I
thought, well, gosh, let's let'stry this out.
And um I love online training.
(03:41):
It's easy for the trainermyself, it's easy for the
client.
I I've literally gone onvacations with clients because
you can go everywhere.
It's so awesome.
Just his telehealth is so nicewhen I can be on a trip and I
need you guys.
Same thing.
(04:01):
Um, clients can be on a trip andand it literally doesn't stop
the process.
Because how many people arelike, well, God, I went on
vacation, and then you come backand you're like, oh, I feel like
I'm at ground zero.
On with the virtual, you justyou just keep going.
So it's wonderful.
But yeah, so the 2020 is reallywhat started it.
(04:22):
And then me having a surprisebaby being at home is what
really led to really startdiving into it and and and doing
it more.
SPEAKER_01 (04:31):
And you have you have a full setup at home too.
She and I have our office athome.
You have a gym at home, like youhave a setup where you can show
your clients how to do it, whatyou you're asking them to do.
SPEAKER_00 (04:41):
Yes, absolutely.
Um, because I also have in-homeclients that come and are at the
house um in our little studio.
But yeah, the whole the wholesetup.
So I can example everything toeveryone.
I have everything I need thatthey're using, and so it's easy.
Um, you know, it's just reallysimple.
SPEAKER_02 (05:01):
So, what type of training do you do?
What type of training?
I think um for myself, I want alittle more detail of what is it
strengthening?
Is it weights?
Is it training on, I mean, itcould be training on like, do
you use a butt like stationarybikes?
Do you it is it yoga?
Like what what type of trainingdo you do?
Yeah, girlfriend has a rower.
SPEAKER_01 (05:22):
She would make a couple of rower.
SPEAKER_00 (05:24):
I'm like, no, I hate that thing.
I've I've got the assault bike,the rower.
Um, really, as far as virtual,it all depends on what they
have.
So say they're like, hey, Kate,I want you to do a cycling
workout with me.
Cool, we can do that.
Um, but typically it's gonna bea dumbbell, kettlebell type
(05:45):
situation, because most peoplehave a set of dumbbells at their
house.
So, so it is mostly strengthtraining, um, for sure with
cardio.
I'm very much you're gonna getfull body, you're gonna get
cardio strength.
Because I mean, time is anotherhuge issue, which I think why
the virtual space is soimportant.
(06:05):
People don't want to waste theirtime.
Yeah.
So if I'm gonna give you aworkout, I want to hit your full
body.
Definitely want to hit strengthbecause, especially for us
women, this time in our life, itis imperative.
Um, everyone should be strengthtraining, but um, so such an
important time.
SPEAKER_01 (06:22):
For the people in the back, say it again for the
people in the back.
SPEAKER_00 (06:25):
Everyone should be able to do it.
You might strength train.
Strength train.
Yeah.
So um, so definitely we hiteverything.
And I like to hit everythingbecause a lot of people, it's
like, well, I don't have thetime to do Monday on, Monday up
or Tuesday.
If you have that time, that'sawesome.
But um, I really cater forpeople to hit everything.
(06:45):
I typically keep it at about 30minutes.
Um, but yeah, it's it'sdefinitely strength, but
strength that will also drivethe heart rate up.
If you don't think that strengthtraining can be cardio, I can
prove you wrong.
No, I can absolutely can.
I can.
SPEAKER_02 (07:01):
So do you how so how do patients find you?
Do they do you have an app?
Do you have um do you FaceTime?
Do you zoom?
How do patients find you?
And that's great.
SPEAKER_00 (07:11):
The best way to find us, we are at Bustos Training.
It's B-U-S-T-O-S training.
Uh, you can find us atboostotraining.com.
We also are on every umInstagram, Facebook, TikTok, all
the things.
We're on all of those.
So yeah, just at BustosTraining.
Uh you can find my husband andI.
We also do a lot of programsales.
(07:33):
So you can come in if you're ifyou don't even have time to do
virtual, you just want aprogram.
We have four-week programming,12-week programming, you can
just um buy off of off of thesite um that you can just
purchase.
It's a one-time purchase.
Here's your 12-week plan, go getit.
It just really helps people stayconsistent.
(07:54):
I I think consistency is whatreally hinders people a lot, is
they just they don't stayconsistent.
So if you can find somethingthat will keep you consistent,
um you're ahead of the game forsure.
SPEAKER_01 (08:10):
I love that you also can focus on.
I've sent Kate patients, not tospeak about any patients in
particular, but I've sentpatients to Kate that needed
help.
They're not looking to loseweight, they're not looking to
do anything other than behealthy, learn good movement,
because Nicole and I preachmovement as medicine all the
time.
Um, and I've sent people to Katejust so they can learn good
(08:32):
form, how to incorporatemovement as medicine into their
daily life.
She even does nutrition.
When she and I worked together,Kate, I don't know if you still
do this or not, but I did itwith her.
She did a time when it was likefor a whole month, we paid her
to eat like she did for a wholemonth.
And it was fantastic.
Like I learned a lot aboutnutrition that month.
Um, I learned a lot about what ameal plan looked like, how to
(08:54):
meal prep, how to buy from thegrocery store.
She gave us a whole month worthof you eat like her.
And we literally ate everythingKate ate that month.
Um, and it was great because ittaught me a lot about nutrition.
And so that's a big bonus forpatients, I think.
SPEAKER_00 (09:07):
Oh, absolutely.
Some people, it's it's it's notcrazy.
I uh for people like us, itseems crazy, but so many people,
they don't even know where tostart.
Yeah, they're like, Well, isthis healthy?
Is this not healthy?
Is this and then you have thepeople that are really trying to
eat healthy, but you can alsoeat too much healthy?
(09:28):
It's both ways.
I I love the nutrition space.
I think um sometimes it goesoverlooked.
We we kind of jump into thefitness, which is 100%
important, but that nutritionaspect, just to understand like
what does 1500 calories evenlook like?
What does 130 grams of protein aday even look like?
(09:50):
Having some kind of visual andguidance, um, and when that
clicks for clients, I I lovethat because it's a it's such a
game changer.
But I I still do a lot ofnutrition coaching.
Yeah, very important.
And it is true.
It's it's now it's about yes, Ihave a lot of people wanting to
lose weight, but it is justimportant.
(10:10):
Some people just want to knowwhen I when I go to the gym, am
I am I deadlifting right?
Is this how you do uh thosethose questions?
They just they just want to besure they're doing it right.
SPEAKER_01 (10:21):
So there's like this whole stigma around women going
to the gym.
And even I think that that spansacross all of generations, even
younger women, older women, butyou're you're constantly
wondering who's watching me,who's recording me, who's making
fun of me, am I doing it right?
Are they are they snickering atme?
And you know, so some of us arejust not comfortable in that
(10:42):
space.
And so you bring that to them,being able to work out in their
home, or at least give them theconfidence, even if it's just
like I'm gonna do this with Kateat home for three, four, five,
six months, get my confidence upto know that I'm doing it right.
So when I do step into a gym, Idon't feel like I'm, you know,
the outlier that doesn't knowwhat they're doing.
SPEAKER_00 (11:01):
Oh, absolutely.
Intimidation is such a big partof why people just they just
don't step in the gym.
They're just intimidating.
And they don't do anything atall.
This kind of takes that away.
Exactly.
And the worst thing is if if youdon't have a plan when you walk
in the gym and you're just kindof, hmm, I'll pop on this
machine or maybe I'll do this.
(11:24):
It it just, you know, it's awaste of your time.
I I just think when you walk inthe gym without a plan and you
don't have experience, well, ofcourse you're gonna be
intimidated because you haveyou're like looking at this room
of intimidating equipment, like,what the yeah.
So it's so helpful, so helpfulto have some kind of knowledge
(11:44):
um and confidence.
You know, I think walking into agym with confidence is is a
really big deal.
So if I can help someone gainthat confidence, feel good about
how they move and be ready totake it on, that's yeah, huge
deal.
SPEAKER_02 (11:59):
That's good.
So, like the two major things Ithink that people shy away from
is in the gym is number one,time, the time it takes.
And number two, not really sureor being judged or whatever.
So your practice literally takesthat completely out of out of
the question.
So that's that's amazing.
And um, so that's a reason rightthere for patients.
(12:19):
So especially women in their aswe get into our 40s and and
older, you know, if strengthtraining is super important for
us as our bones get morefragile, just inherently women,
osteoporosis and things likethat, and strength training is
definitely a way to keep thosebones and and the musculature
that supports our skeletonstrong.
And so that is just that'sreally good.
Um I do have a question.
(12:40):
You said it's you and yourhusband.
So does your husband teach themen?
Does do you teach the women?
Do you do them together?
Do the patients have a choice?
How does that work?
SPEAKER_00 (12:49):
So my husband is heavier in the actual gym
setting.
So in 2020, um, when he wasdoing it from home, uh, it was
mostly clients that were werefrom the gym, but then now at
home.
Um, so he is more in the gymsetting, uh, whereas then I'm
more um I'm a double, I do both.
(13:11):
So uh then I kind of took overonce he was back full time in
the gym, once COVID had passedand all that was done, and he
was in the gym, then I took overall of the all of the virtual
clients.
SPEAKER_02 (13:24):
So um where are you?
So patients that are maybe inyour area and hear this want to,
you know, to check you guys outin person.
SPEAKER_00 (13:32):
Oh, absolutely.
In Abilene, so we're in Abilene,Texas, uh good old West Texas.
Um, he is at Hendrick HealthClub, he manages the training
programs there.
And then I am just strictlythrough Bustos training.
Um, I I do train some groups atat Hendrick Health Club as well.
But if you're wanting to dovirtual, then you would contact
(13:54):
me through the the Bustostraining avenue.
SPEAKER_01 (13:57):
Awesome.
Yeah.
So she and I used to work withone of the neurosurgeons that
trains with her husband.
And let me tell you, the daysthat he trained with her husband
with Andrew, he would come backup to the office like whining
about how his arms hurt and hislegs hurt, and then we would
have to go operate.
And I'm like, self-inflictedpain, dude, to get getting on.
SPEAKER_00 (14:20):
And and you just keep going back for more.
That's the crazy part.
I love it.
It's the best.
There's no one ever said theyregretted a workout.
You know, you might be like, Oh,I gotta complain about it, and
you're like, man, I'm reallyglad I got that done.
So true.
SPEAKER_01 (14:36):
So, Kate, if you could leave our listeners with
just one good piece of advicewhen it comes to a beginner
that's never trained, they'rescared of it, they're like, nah,
I just can't do that.
What what would you try to do tosay to them to encourage them to
just give it a shot?
SPEAKER_00 (14:53):
Just one step at a time.
Don't look at the picture sobroad.
Just give yourself, okay, I'mgonna do even if it's five
minutes, I I'm going, even ifyou don't have contact with me
or anyone else, get on YouTube,find a beginner, a beginner
(15:13):
dumbbell workout, get you acouple of dumbbells, and just
start, just move.
On YouTube, right?
Do what you guys are on YouTube.
Oh yeah, yeah, we are onYouTube.
And if you're if if you find us,you're gonna find I know all of
all of our platforms that wehave like right there, 15-minute
(15:35):
workouts all over the place.
So yeah, find us on BusoTraining, grab you a kettlebell,
some dumbbells, and just do it.
But just I I just think peopletry to chew off uh too much,
they put too much pressure onthemselves.
They're supposed to be way overhere.
No, no, no, no, no.
Five minutes, ten minutes.
(15:56):
Even when I tell people if youstart walking, just walk around
your block.
Like, hey, I did that next week.
Let's walk around, you know,just just take it in baby steps.
Don't don't drink from the whatis it?
Don't drink from the the fire,the firehouse.
Just take a little, put it in acup, drink it from the sink, but
just start.
(16:17):
And that that would probably bemy my biggest advice.
And and if you do have a way tobe accountable for it, I I do
think that is tremendously umhelpful.
But yeah, get you some dumbbellsand just just start.
SPEAKER_02 (16:33):
So it's it sounds like it doesn't matter how fast
you go, it doesn't matter howfar you go, just go because
you're lapping everybody on thecouch, right?
No matter whether you do fiveminutes, slow, you're lapping
everybody on the couch.
So just go.
SPEAKER_00 (16:49):
Yes.
Amen.
You just gotta put one foot infront of the other or one bicep
in front of the other.
SPEAKER_01 (16:54):
I love it.
Look at her flexing.
SPEAKER_00 (16:57):
Let's go, let's go.
All right.
SPEAKER_01 (17:00):

Um, but yeah, it's it'sdefinitely strength, but
strength that will also drivethe heart rate up.
If you don't think that strengthtraining can be cardio, I can
prove you wrong.
No, I can absolutely can.
I can.
SPEAKER_02 (07:01):
So do you how so how do patients find you?
Do they do you have an app?
Do you have um do you FaceTime?
Do you zoom?
How do patients find you?
And that's great.
SPEAKER_00 (07:11):
The best way to find us, we are at Bustos Training.
It's B-U-S-T-O-S training.
Uh, you can find us atboostotraining.com.
We also are on every umInstagram, Facebook, TikTok, all
the things.
We're on all of those.
So yeah, just at BustosTraining.
Uh you can find my husband andI.
We also do a lot of programsales.
(07:33):
So you can come in if you're ifyou don't even have time to do
virtual, you just want aprogram.
We have four-week programming,12-week programming, you can
just um buy off of off of thesite um that you can just
purchase.
It's a one-time purchase.
Here's your 12-week plan, go getit.
It just really helps people stayconsistent.
(07:54):
I I think consistency is whatreally hinders people a lot, is
they just they don't stayconsistent.
So if you can find somethingthat will keep you consistent,
um you're ahead of the game forsure.
SPEAKER_01 (08:10):
I love that you also can focus on.
I've sent Kate patients, not tospeak about any patients in
particular, but I've sentpatients to Kate that needed
help.
They're not looking to loseweight, they're not looking to
do anything other than behealthy, learn good movement,
because Nicole and I preachmovement as medicine all the
time.
Um, and I've sent people to Katejust so they can learn good
(08:32):
form, how to incorporatemovement as medicine into their
daily life.
She even does nutrition.
When she and I worked together,Kate, I don't know if you still
do this or not, but I did itwith her.
She did a time when it was likefor a whole month, we paid her
to eat like she did for a wholemonth.
And it was fantastic.
Like I learned a lot aboutnutrition that month.
Um, I learned a lot about what ameal plan looked like, how to
(08:54):
meal prep, how to buy from thegrocery store.
She gave us a whole month worthof you eat like her.
And we literally ate everythingKate ate that month.
Um, and it was great because ittaught me a lot about nutrition.
And so that's a big bonus forpatients, I think.
SPEAKER_00 (09:07):
Oh, absolutely.
Some people, it's it's it's notcrazy.
I uh for people like us, itseems crazy, but so many people,
they don't even know where tostart.
Yeah, they're like, Well, isthis healthy?
Is this not healthy?
Is this and then you have thepeople that are really trying to
eat healthy, but you can alsoeat too much healthy?
(09:28):
It's both ways.
I I love the nutrition space.
I think um sometimes it goesoverlooked.
We we kind of jump into thefitness, which is 100%
important, but that nutritionaspect, just to understand like
what does 1500 calories evenlook like?
What does 130 grams of protein aday even look like?
(09:50):
Having some kind of visual andguidance, um, and when that
clicks for clients, I I lovethat because it's a it's such a
game changer.
But I I still do a lot ofnutrition coaching.
Yeah, very important.
And it is true.
It's it's now it's about yes, Ihave a lot of people wanting to
lose weight, but it is justimportant.
(10:10):
Some people just want to knowwhen I when I go to the gym, am
I am I deadlifting right?
Is this how you do uh thosethose questions?
They just they just want to besure they're doing it right.
SPEAKER_01 (10:21):
So there's like this whole stigma around women going
to the gym.
And even I think that that spansacross all of generations, even
younger women, older women, butyou're you're constantly
wondering who's watching me,who's recording me, who's making
fun of me, am I doing it right?
Are they are they snickering atme?
And you know, so some of us arejust not comfortable in that
(10:42):
space.
And so you bring that to them,being able to work out in their
home, or at least give them theconfidence, even if it's just
like I'm gonna do this with Kateat home for three, four, five,
six months, get my confidence upto know that I'm doing it right.
So when I do step into a gym, Idon't feel like I'm, you know,
the outlier that doesn't knowwhat they're doing.
SPEAKER_00 (11:01):
Oh, absolutely.
Intimidation is such a big partof why people just they just
don't step in the gym.
They're just intimidating.
And they don't do anything atall.
This kind of takes that away.
Exactly.
And the worst thing is if if youdon't have a plan when you walk
in the gym and you're just kindof, hmm, I'll pop on this
machine or maybe I'll do this.
(11:24):
It it just, you know, it's awaste of your time.
I I just think when you walk inthe gym without a plan and you
don't have experience, well, ofcourse you're gonna be
intimidated because you haveyou're like looking at this room
of intimidating equipment, like,what the yeah.
So it's so helpful, so helpfulto have some kind of knowledge
(11:44):
um and confidence.
You know, I think walking into agym with confidence is is a
really big deal.
So if I can help someone gainthat confidence, feel good about
how they move and be ready totake it on, that's yeah, huge
deal.
SPEAKER_02 (11:59):
That's good.
So, like the two major things Ithink that people shy away from
is in the gym is number one,time, the time it takes.
And number two, not really sureor being judged or whatever.
So your practice literally takesthat completely out of out of
the question.
So that's that's amazing.
And um, so that's a reason rightthere for patients.
(12:19):
So especially women in their aswe get into our 40s and and
older, you know, if strengthtraining is super important for
us as our bones get morefragile, just inherently women,
osteoporosis and things likethat, and strength training is
definitely a way to keep thosebones and and the musculature
that supports our skeletonstrong.
And so that is just that'sreally good.
Um I do have a question.
(12:40):
You said it's you and yourhusband.
So does your husband teach themen?
Does do you teach the women?
Do you do them together?
Do the patients have a choice?
How does that work?
SPEAKER_00 (12:49):
So my husband is heavier in the actual gym
setting.
So in 2020, um, when he wasdoing it from home, uh, it was
mostly clients that were werefrom the gym, but then now at
home.
Um, so he is more in the gymsetting, uh, whereas then I'm
more um I'm a double, I do both.
(13:11):
So uh then I kind of took overonce he was back full time in
the gym, once COVID had passedand all that was done, and he
was in the gym, then I took overall of the all of the virtual
clients.
SPEAKER_02 (13:24):
So um where are you?
So patients that are maybe inyour area and hear this want to,
you know, to check you guys outin person.
SPEAKER_00 (13:32):
Oh, absolutely.
In Abilene, so we're in Abilene,Texas, uh good old West Texas.
Um, he is at Hendrick HealthClub, he manages the training
programs there.
And then I am just strictlythrough Bustos training.
Um, I I do train some groups atat Hendrick Health Club as well.
But if you're wanting to dovirtual, then you would contact
(13:54):
me through the the Bustostraining avenue.
SPEAKER_01 (13:57):
Awesome.
Yeah.
So she and I used to work withone of the neurosurgeons that
trains with her husband.
And let me tell you, the daysthat he trained with her husband
with Andrew, he would come backup to the office like whining
about how his arms hurt and hislegs hurt, and then we would
have to go operate.
And I'm like, self-inflictedpain, dude, to get getting on.
SPEAKER_00 (14:20):
And and you just keep going back for more.
That's the crazy part.
I love it.
It's the best.
There's no one ever said theyregretted a workout.
You know, you might be like, Oh,I gotta complain about it, and
you're like, man, I'm reallyglad I got that done.
So true.
SPEAKER_01 (14:36):
So, Kate, if you could leave our listeners with
just one good piece of advicewhen it comes to a beginner
that's never trained, they'rescared of it, they're like, nah,
I just can't do that.
What what would you try to do tosay to them to encourage them to
just give it a shot?
SPEAKER_00 (14:53):
Just one step at a time.
Don't look at the picture sobroad.
Just give yourself, okay, I'mgonna do even if it's five
minutes, I I'm going, even ifyou don't have contact with me
or anyone else, get on YouTube,find a beginner, a beginner
(15:13):
dumbbell workout, get you acouple of dumbbells, and just
start, just move.
On YouTube, right?
Do what you guys are on YouTube.
Oh yeah, yeah, we are onYouTube.
And if you're if if you find us,you're gonna find I know all of
all of our platforms that wehave like right there, 15-minute
(15:35):
workouts all over the place.
So yeah, find us on BusoTraining, grab you a kettlebell,
some dumbbells, and just do it.
But just I I just think peopletry to chew off uh too much,
they put too much pressure onthemselves.
They're supposed to be way overhere.
No, no, no, no, no.
Five minutes, ten minutes.
(15:56):
Even when I tell people if youstart walking, just walk around
your block.
Like, hey, I did that next week.
Let's walk around, you know,just just take it in baby steps.
Don't don't drink from the whatis it?
Don't drink from the the fire,the firehouse.
Just take a little, put it in acup, drink it from the sink, but
just start.
(16:17):
And that that would probably bemy my biggest advice.
And and if you do have a way tobe accountable for it, I I do
think that is tremendously umhelpful.
But yeah, get you some dumbbellsand just just start.
SPEAKER_02 (16:33):
So it's it sounds like it doesn't matter how fast
you go, it doesn't matter howfar you go, just go because
you're lapping everybody on thecouch, right?
No matter whether you do fiveminutes, slow, you're lapping
everybody on the couch.
So just go.
SPEAKER_00 (16:49):
Yes.
Amen.
You just gotta put one foot infront of the other or one bicep
in front of the other.
SPEAKER_01 (16:54):
I love it.
Look at her flexing.
SPEAKER_00 (16:57):
Let's go, let's go.
All right.
