Description

Tired But Toned is the podcast for busy women doing their best on low battery.

Hosted by fitness and nutrition coach Tina Wieland, this show is all about building real strength, managing stress, and creating habits that actually work in your real life — whether you're running on caffeine, chaos, or a solid eight hours (rare, but we dream).

Expect a mix of bite-sized tips and deeper dives into movement, mindset, hormones, recovery, and how to feel good in your body without burning out trying to “fix” it.

Whether you’re navigating autoimmune challenges, the weight of modern life, or just tired of the all-or-nothing fitness game — this podcast gets it. And more importantly, gets you moving in a way that lasts.

Because you don’t need more motivation.
You need a smarter strategy — even on your tired days.

Send me a text about the episode! The holiday season doesn’t have to be a tornado that wipes out your routine. We break down a realistic path to enjoy the food, the people, and the moments while protecting your progress and your peace. Instead of the annual cycle of “screw it” now and “fix it” later, we walk through a maintenance-first approach that keeps you steady and proud by January. We start with clarity: decide whether you’re maintaining, dialing back slightly, or dialing up if your sc...
Send me a text about the episode! Ever feel like your brain won’t shut up? We dig into the one habit most people avoid—intentional quiet—and show how a few minutes of real stillness can ease racing thoughts, improve sleep, and make everyday decisions feel lighter. No incense required, no rigid poses, no perfection. Just simple practices that clear mental clutter and give your nervous system a chance to downshift. We start by challenging the always-on grind with a better model: seasons. Natur...
Send me a text about the episode! Tired of being told there’s only one “right” way to get fit? We’re cutting through the gatekeeping to show how real progress happens when you build a routine around your life, your energy, and your goals. No badges required—just a smarter mix of movement that meets you where you are. We walk through a clear, flexible framework you can tailor on the fly: cardio for heart health that might be as simple as a daily walk, strength training that’s heavy-for-you to...
Send me a text about the episode! What happens when your business finally matches your brain, but your body demands a new playbook? I’m opening the door on a messy, meaningful season—going full-time in my own fitness brand, navigating PCOS and Hashimoto’s, and unmasking neurodivergent traits I’d hidden for years. The result is a different kind of coaching model built on autonomy, story, and sustainability. I talk about the moment I left gym rules behind and had to build everything from scrat...
Send me a text about the episode! Your water bottle might be working against you—or it might be the missing link. We unpack how sodium, potassium, and magnesium actually drive hydration, muscle contraction, and nerve function, then map those fundamentals to real training lives: long runs, hot studios, desert heat, and the everyday desk-to-gym grind. No fluff, no extremes—just a clear path to smarter hydration. We start with the physiology and a high-heat deployment story that shows why plain...
Send me a text about the episode! Ever feel like you're playing fitness on hard mode? You're not alone. In this candid conversation, I pull back the curtain on my personal health journey and how it revolutionized my approach to fitness. Two years ago, my world turned upside down with a Hashimoto's diagnosis and a debilitating groin injury that left me unable to pursue the workouts I loved. What followed was months of frustration, repeated attempts to return to exercise, and ultimately, a com...
Send me a text about the episode! Are you caught in the endless cycle of fitness extremes—going all-in for a few weeks before burning out completely? You're not alone. This deeply honest conversation tackles the unspoken pressure we face to be consistent in ways our bodies simply weren't designed for. The fitness world wants us picking a lane and staying in it—bodybuilder, runner, yogi—but what if embracing variety is actually the key to sustainability? We explore how society's rigid expecta...
Send me a text about the episode! Ever feel like your workouts are rarely as amazing as fitness influencers make theirs look? You're not alone—and there's a scientific reason why. The bell curve concept offers a refreshing perspective on fitness reality: out of approximately 100 workouts, only about 10% will feel truly amazing. Another 10% will inevitably feel terrible, regardless of your experience level. The remaining 80%? They'll just be okay. Not Instagram-worthy, not particularly ...

The missing piece might not be another workout or diet plan—it could be your boundaries. In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my lifelong struggle as a people-pleaser and how it impacted everything from my autoimmune disorder to my decision to become an entrepreneur.

Send me a text about the episode! Have you ever been made to feel like you don't belong in a fitness space? You're absolutely not alone. In this candid and eye-opening discussion, I dive into one of the fitness industry's most problematic trends: trainers who turn away clients because they don't fit neatly into rigid training methodologies. Drawing from both client stories and my personal observations, I expose the harmful "black and white" mentality some fitness professionals bring to their...
