The Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast
If you've tried all the fad diets and are sick and tired of not achieving your health and fitness goals long-term, you've come to the right place! Welcome to the Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast with me, Kristy Castillo. I'm here to help you break the annoying diet cycle, gain confidence, and reach your health and fitness goals.
This podcast will show you how to be proud of the body you have, build the body you want, and enjoy the process along the way. I'll cover topics like how to get the most from your workouts, the importance of feeding your body what it needs, and key mindset shifts that will empower you. I've broken through the BS surrounding diet culture and built my dream body, all while being a busy wife, Mom and business owner, and I know you can too!

221. The Bare Minimum Is Enough: Real Talk for You This Christmas
Christmas week can be beautiful and magical, and also… heavy, chaotic, and emotionally exhausting.
Today’s episode isn’t about protein targets, perfect workouts, or “balancing out” desserts. It’s about making your fitness a VIBE, and something that supports you (instead of draining you).
This year stretched me in ways I never expected. From serious health issues to scary moments with my kids, unexpected losses, and being forced to slow down when I didn’t want to, 2025 asked more of me than most years EVER have.
Honestly? I did the bare f*cking minimum with my fitness for long stretches of time. Not because I didn’t care, but because that’s all I had.
If you’re in a similar season where all YOU can do right now is the bare minimum, that is still enough!
This week, your effort might look smaller, but your intention gets to be BIGGER. It’s not about pushing harder - it’s about showing up softer, and in a way that truly supports you in this season.
Episode recap:
- Why your Christmas week doesn’t need perfect workouts or rigid rules
- My reflection on an incredibly challenging year + how this impacted my fitness
- Why the bare f*cking minimum IS enough
- Prioritizing your atmosphere over workouts
- 3 ways to romanticize your fitness during the holidays
- Why your biggest fitness progress isn’t always physical
