Get the Girlies Moving!

Get the Girlies Moving is a podcast about women's health, fitness, and wellness hosted by Kaitlyn and Abigail. Each week, we cut through the doom scroll noise of Instagram at 2am and break down what science actually says, backed by real research. We share our own experiences, bring on guests you can relate to, and have plenty of laughs along the way. This isn't just a podcast to listen to, it's a space to feel empowered, learn something new, and become the best version of you. New episodes every Wednesday.
