Why Losing More Weight Won't Make You Toned After 40 | Ep. 388 Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott breaks down one of the most common goals women have in fitness: wanting to look more "toned."

She explains why the toned look so many women are chasing has very little to do with weighing less and everything to do with building muscle and improving body composition. Nikkiey also challenges some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding cardio, light weights, scale weight, and the fear of becoming "bulky."

If you've been working hard but still aren't seeing the definition you're after, this episode will help you shift your perspective and better understand what it actually takes to build a stronger, leaner physique.

Stop Changing Your Workouts Every 2 Weeks (It's Killing Your Results) | Ep. 387 Aug 14, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott challenges one of the biggest misconceptions in fitness: that constantly changing your workouts leads to better results.

She breaks down the difference between simply exercising and truly training, why repetition is essential for building muscle, and how chasing variety can actually slow your progress. Nikkiey also dives into the myths surrounding muscle confusion, soreness, and the belief that a workout needs to leave you exhausted to be effective.

If you've ever felt tempted to switch programs after a few weeks or questioned whether your workouts are "working" because they feel repetitive, this episode will help you understand why consistency—not constant change—is the real key to transforming your body.

The Truth About Group Fitness Classes | Ep. 382 Jul 27, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott tackles one of the biggest fitness debates today: can reformer Pilates actually build muscle?

After trying a popular reformer class herself, Nikkiey shares what these workouts do well—from improving mobility and body awareness to providing a fun, low-impact workout. But she also explains why feeling the burn isn't the same as building muscle.

You'll learn the difference between metabolic stress and true progressive overload, why mechanical tension is the key to muscle growth, and why strength training with external weights remains essential for improving body composition, bone density, and long-term health.

If you've ever wondered whether Pilates is enough—or how it fits into a strength-focused routine—this episode will help you separate fitness marketing from the science.

Whether it's a number on the scale, a clothing size, or a dream physique, it's easy to believe that everything will change once you arrive. But what happens when you get there and the feeling doesn't last?

If you've ever found yourself constantly chasing the next milestone or wondering why reaching your goals didn't bring the fulfillment you expected, this episode will challenge the way you think about success and help you build a healthier relationship with both the journey and yourself.

In this episode of The Macro Hour, Bryn shares how learning macros, lifting weights, and staying consistent helped her break free from restrictive dieting, overcome sugar cravings, build muscle, and transform her body at 58. She and Nikkiey discuss navigating plateaus, the importance of coaching and accountability, and why menopause doesn't have to be a barrier to lasting results.

If you've ever felt stuck because of your age or changing hormones, Bryn's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to create lasting change.
