The Nancy Stevens Lifestyle Show 53 | Exercise Without the Guilt: Fitness at Home, Menopause & Small Wins with Jo Mara
The Nancy Stevens Lifestyle Show
Sunday, 22 February 2026 - 27 minutes
In this episode of the Nancy Stevens Lifestyle Show on the new Horizon Radio, Nancy is joined by personal trainer Jo Mara for an honest, practical discussion about exercise, motivation and wellbeing. They explore why January guilt and extreme resolutions rarely work, and how small, sustainable changes can make a real difference.
Jo shares her journey into personal training, explains why fitness doesn’t have to mean joining a gym, and outlines how strength, cardio and flexibility can all be achieved at home. The conversation also dives into menopause and exercise, why strength training and variety are so important, and how movement supports both physical and mental health during this stage of life.
They also talk about body confidence, social media pressure, cortisol, stress, and the importance of being kinder to yourself – treating yourself as you would a friend. With plenty of relatable moments, practical tips and encouragement, this episode is ideal for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start with exercise.
