Through their experiences as a trainer of many TGD folks, Bowie has gained an understanding of just how life-changing becoming physically active can be. Non Gendered Fitness provides online fitness coaching for queer folks, specialising in the needs of the TGD community and supporting them to transition with a holistic approach.
Episode 87 - How To Apologise If You Misgender Someone
This episode is for all the TGD allies out there. I wanted to break down exactly how you can apologise respectfully when you misgender someone, without making excuses or turning the whole situation into something about yourself. I wanted to take time to talk about how to apologise for making mistakes, which we all do by the way. Now I don't think anyone is perfect and to be honest there isn't an expectation to be. But what I think is important is to show respect and be accountable.

Episode 86 - How To Get Started With Kettlebell Training
In this episode we will be looking at how you can get started training with Kettlebells. Because I love kettlebells and I love training folks and teaching them about kettlebells. But kettlebells can be pretty intimidating. And it's easy to avoid trying them out because you may now know how to train with them. So I wanted to break it down and go over some steps that you can take if you're wanting to get started using a kettlebell.

Episode 85 - Making Your New Skills Work For You
In this episode we will be looking at how we can put the skills of self discipline, time management and adaptability that we've looked at over the past 3 weeks together in a way that is sustainable long term. And it's important to remember that whatever changes that we make in our lives, we do them in a way that helps improve our quality of life and not add to our stresses by causing feelings of overwhelm, being restricted or that you're missing out on the things that you enjoy. Because at the end of the day, if the changes you're trying to make don't feel good, it's unlikely that you're going to be able to sustain your new habits.

Episode 80 - How You Can Prepare Yourself For Challenging Family Gatherings
In this episode we will be looking at how you can prepare yourself for the upcoming holiday period and family gatherings that you may be required to attend. Because this time of year is stressful for people who celebrate the holidays. And these celebrations often come with family commitments and having to engage with people that you might not see often and may be completely insensitive to your experiences. I mean let's face it, we can't choose the family that we are connected to genetically. But we can choose how we can manage ourselves around them. Or even choose not to put yourself in those situations.

Episode 78 - Where Does Our Fat Go When We Lose Weight
In this episode we will be looking at another thing about our body that's important to know. And today we're gonna have a see of what actually happens to our body fat when we get leaner or lose weight. Because all we ever hear about from the fitness industrial complex and western culture when it comes to weight loss is that we should do that. We need to have less body fat to be "attractive", "healthy", "fit", "athletic" or whatever. But the concept of losing weight is pretty vague. What actually is happening in our bodies when we do reduce the amount of body fat that we have? It's like this information isn't important at all. The only important thing here is the aesthetic result of weight loss. If you have any questions about this episode or would like to learn about how we may be able to support you, you can go to www.nongenderedfitness.com and send us a message. If you're enjoying the show and know other folks that may find some benefit in having a listen, I'd be so grateful if you shared it with them or anywhere else where you think that it could help someone.
