Getting real with fitness trainer and beauty guru Michael Hoess and YouTube creator, Mykul Labs

Show NotesInterview with Michael Hoess / Mykul Labs.Show Notes.Today we are joined by Jessica’s best friend Michael Hoess aka Mykul Labs, a fitness and personal trainer since 2009 with a string of impressive certifications. He works at The Dailey Method and all over Indianapolis and is also a beauty guru to be reckoned with – he knows more about skincare than all of us combined! When it comes to fitness, Michael believes in getting exposure to all five pillars of fitness to ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of injury, so instead of sticking only to yoga or SoulCycling, he encourages women to do strength training despite the common reservations they have about it. Working with predominantly women in their late 20s to mid-40s, Michael understands the struggles especially mothers have in keeping all the plates spinning, whether they have careers or are stay-at-home moms. Regardless, he urges listeners to keep self-care a top priority because it is the old-but-true story of taking care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else – and that hour you have for a workout might just be the thing that keeps you sane! Tuning in, listeners will hear Michael gush about J.Lo, his favorite skincare ingredients, 45-minute showers, and the soon-to-be-released makeup range for men.
