Camila Ramón talks music, movement, Peloton and Self Love
If you've been on your Peloton bike, Tread or App since 2021, you've probably taken a class with Camila Ramón. She was the first Spanish speaking instructor on the bike and since her inaugural ride, she's brought the music, culture and body positivity she wanted to see more of in the world.
We spend our time on the episode talking about how she came to fall back in love with movement after years of dance, the importance of music to her, and what it's like to work at Peloton.
But the thing that was most delightful to me was just experiencing the silliness wrapped up in someone you should take very seriously. Camila knows how and when to crack a joke to make you comfortable, but she also has a big important story to tell that can make even more people feel seen in fitness.

Kayla Jeters, Founder of 100MilesofSummer
What started as a personal challenge for Kayla Jeter seven years ago has evolved into a global sensation. From May 1 until August 31, 100MilesofSummer (https://www.100milesofsummer.com/) challenges thousands of participants across the country to simply log 100 miles. That amounts to 25 miles a month and approximately 6 miles a week.
And to make this challenge even more doable, participants can walk, run, jog or roll those miles.
I met Kayla just after she moved to Chicago and was making her way in the city in her post-professional sports career. Her vision for this summer program has always been clear (and fun to watch): create change in the sport of running to make it more inviting and inclusive.
In our conversation, you'll hear a lot about where 100MilesofSummer came from, the role of movement and community in dealing with grief, and the power of community to help you achieve your goals.
And in the seventh year of the challenge, there are some really big updates - aside from reaching folks on other continents.
Kayla and her team created a community home on the Circle Platform (https://www.100milesofsummer.com/).
Kayla and her team launched their own platform-agnostic miles tracker (https://www.100milesofsummer.com/?target=818468a1bfad492599706dafa106d579&params=%7B%7D) (so if you love Nike's app, use it. If you're a Strava stan, go crazy. You'll just log your miles for the challenge on the tracker separately.)

Haley Shapley, Author of "Strong Like Her"
Haley Shapley (https://www.haleyshapley.com/), author of the book "Strong Like Her (https://www.haleyshapley.com/stronglikeher)" is a walking history book of women's foray into sports and strength.
That's because she literally wrote the book on it ("Strong Like Her (https://www.haleyshapley.com/stronglikeher)," which is now available in paperback). After the author entered a bodybuilding competition, she had the eye-opening experience of hearing first-hand the outdated ideas about women's strength. So, she started looking into the people she calls, "our Muscular Foremothers."
"Don't lift too heavy," "No man will find you attractive," and "you look like a man." No matter how much we try to move past these ideas, we still encounter them them. In our conversation, Haley talks through the rule breakers in strength as well as the link between gender, strength, feminism and suffrage.
In this conversation, you'll hear some really interesting stories of strength - some that may be new to you:
The story of Ada Anderson and the sport of Pedestrianism, who smashed attendance records for her feats of walking.
Cynisca and the loophole that allowed her to be the first woman to win in the Olympics in the four-horse chariot race
Pudgy Stockton, who was not only a weightlifter, but also a gymnast

[…] And that's why you need to leave medicine to doctors and leave science to the scientists and not have politicians involved, but they are involving themselves. And so we need everyone to make sure you ask every elected official where they stand on a woman's right to decide what happens to her body. […]
