Balancing Farming and Fitness! With Farm Fit Momma
In the latest episode of the Dairy Hour Podcast, host Val Lavigne sits down with Amanda Nigg, also known as Farm Fit Momma on Instagram, to discuss the unique challenges and rewards of Balancing Farming and Fitness. Amanda’s journey as a farm wife began when she married into a farming family, and since then, she has embraced the agriculture industry with passion and dedication.
Embracing the Farming Life
Amanda shares her experience of adapting to the rigorous demands of farm life. From early mornings milking cows to late nights in the fields, the life of a farmer is anything but easy. However, Amanda speaks about the advancements in farming technology that have made the work more efficient and less physically taxing. She emphasizes the importance of embracing these innovations to carry on the legacy of farming.
The Importance of Physical and Mental Health in Agriculture
One of the key topics discussed is the critical importance of Balancing Farming and Fitness; maintaining both physical and mental health within the farming community. Amanda highlights how the stresses of farming can take a toll on one’s well-being and how crucial it is to find ways to manage this stress. She advocates for regular physical activity as a means to not only stay fit but also to release tension and improve mental clarity.
Introducing FarmFit Training
Amanda also introduces her fitness business, FarmFit Training, which provides a tailored approach to fitness for those in the agriculture industry. FarmFit Training offers programs designed to fit the busy and unpredictable schedules of farmers, ensuring they can prioritize their health without sacrificing their work responsibilities.
Nutrition and Fitness for Busy Farmers
Valerie and Amanda delve into the importance of proper nutrition and fitness for farmers. They discuss the need for a balanced diet rich in macronutrients – proteins, carbohydrates, and fats – to fuel the body for demanding farm work. Amanda encourages listeners to view nutrition as fuel and to find a routine that works for them, emphasizing the mantra: start small, stay consistent.
Building a Supportive Community to help with Balancing Farming and Fitness
Both Valerie and Amanda stress the importance of building a supportive community to stay motivated and accountable. Whether it’s family, friends, or fellow farmers, having a network of support can make a significant difference in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
