Courtney Babilya | Women's Fitness Nurse

As a former ER nurse, I know how important it is to stick with the stuff that WORKS. I help women become stronger through sustainable + effective strategies that feel like coming home. I've made menstrual cycle-informed fitness the new natural way for women to train, helping thousands embrace their strength through my app. Welcome! Love, your friendly neighborhood fitness nurse.

I'm starting over.

Greetings from Arizona, fam! 🌵 Something MUST be going on with the planets, because the wind of change has been strong over here. Or maybe it's just the 117-degree wind blowing in my face like a blowtorch. Anyway. After years of hosting all of my personal content and KBM content on @courtneykeepingbalance, the time has finally come: KBM is getting her very own Instagram page. She's all grown up! 🥹 This is really exciting for a lot of reasons: 1️⃣ My @courtneykeepingbalance page is getting a...

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! We’ve been serving up sustainable fitness for women that DELIVERS on results for a whole year! Have you tried KBM yet?! Downloaded the app but haven't started yet! Been using and LOVE! Not yet but I'm interested... In the past 12 months, KBMers have been sharing that they: Have never been more consistent with exercise in their LIFE Are experiencing symptom-free cycles Are hitting new PRs and nailing new skills Finally stopped being so hard on themselves and started to...

I'm about to give you a little insider knowledge: Cycle syncing may not be for you. Yep, let me explain. When it comes to exercise, the term "cycle syncing" has become defined as doing different types of fitness throughout the cycle, such as strength training in the follicular phase, boxing or HIIT during the ovulatory phase, pilates in the luteal phase, and yoga in the menstrual phase. This approach is fabulous if you want to move your body more, work on your general fitness and wellness,...

Ladies, it's been an interesting few months in the world of fitness + women's health (my two ❤️'s), so I combed through the research to bring you the important stuff. I want to get straight to it, so let's cut the fluff and dive in! 1️⃣ Women need half as much exercise as men to get the same longevity benefit. YES, you read that correctly. The Journal of the American College of Cardiology published these findings last month. Ji, Gulati, et al used a prospective model on 412,413 American...

Hey Reader! If you want to build muscle to get healthier, be more capable, and unlock the only "fountain of youth" that actually exists, I've learned in my 28 years of athletics that there’s four non-negotiables that are absolutely crucial for making strength training a sustainable staple in your weekly routine. And missing even one could be the difference between throwing in the towel and blasting your post-workout selfie all over IG. WHY? Because each of these elements isn't just a...

Hellooooo, friends! And welcome to March! Spring is just around the corner and I can FEEL the seasonal depression leaving my body. Hallelujah! January and February were super busy over at KBM HQ - in the best way possible! Here's the full scoop: 🍦 🍀 Introducing Unstoppable Volume 2 Wow, is this exciting! After a whole year of Unstoppable, I HEARD your cries for more! In January, Volume 2 was released to current Unstoppable members on pre-sale. The new installment is 16 weeks long, with all...

I literally cannot make this up, so buckle in. 🤣 Even if you don't watch reality TV, this is a must-read. First, some context. Love is Blind is a Netflix show where contestants date each other without ever seeing each other (there is a wall between them). Ultimately someone proposes, and after the other person answers, they finally get to see each other. The experiment aims to prove that love can truly be blind, but honestly, it's just darn good TV. I'm lowkey obsessed with it. Season six had...

Hi friend! Castor oil packs are taking over the wellness corner of the internet, but what exactly are they...and do they work? If you tuned into my Instagram stories this week, I shared how I used castor oil on my abdomen after feeling HELLA bloated. And also on a random stye that I got last year. And also...on my breasts if they're sore before my period. Wait, one cure for all of our ailments?! Sounds a little too good to be true. Especially when you consider that castor oil packs are mainly...

Happy New Year, KBM Fam! 🎉 Gosh, 2023 had it all - the ups, the downs, and the allll arounds. Today, you deserve to reflect on your own highlight reel and celebrate the HECK out of what you accomplished. Sure, we learned hard lessons and struggled at times. But screw it. We kicked ass, too. 💪🏻 Let's wrap up KBM's year and ring in the new year with some gifts, shall we?! This was a year of transformation for the Babilya crew, and if you told me this time last year I'd be writing this email...

Woohoo, it's Friday again! Which means I get to pop into your inbox and hopefully make you smile! How was your Halloween? Compared to our old neighborhood in Tennessee (who knew how to turn UP), trick-or-treating was pretty mild this year, but the kiddos still had a blast. And I certainly wasn't complaining about the 75-degree weather in my Eevee costume. We took a trip to the beautiful Desert Botanical Gardens here in Phoenix last weekend. Kellan decided that he'd like to plant something in...
