1 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,507 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport Podcast with Jason Vine 2 00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:11,747 Speaker 1: from newstalk ZEDB. 3 00:00:12,707 --> 00:00:16,227 Speaker 2: Anuary a time for resolutions, for making plans to ensure 4 00:00:16,227 --> 00:00:19,267 Speaker 2: the year ahead is your best ever and to implement 5 00:00:19,387 --> 00:00:22,707 Speaker 2: positive change to improve performance. But the fact is most 6 00:00:23,067 --> 00:00:26,987 Speaker 2: resolutions fail. In fact, many don't even make it into February. 7 00:00:27,067 --> 00:00:29,827 Speaker 2: So how do those of us involved in sport make 8 00:00:29,987 --> 00:00:34,267 Speaker 2: and more importantly, keep our New Year's resolutions? There's only 9 00:00:34,307 --> 00:00:38,187 Speaker 2: one man I would ask, our coaching guru, Global sports 10 00:00:38,187 --> 00:00:42,307 Speaker 2: performance consultant, Wayne Goldsmith, who joins us our Wayne, You've 11 00:00:42,307 --> 00:00:44,907 Speaker 2: sent me a wonderful one pager that we're going to 12 00:00:44,907 --> 00:00:46,987 Speaker 2: post on our socials about this. I want to talk 13 00:00:47,027 --> 00:00:48,827 Speaker 2: through the main points of it. But first of all, 14 00:00:49,427 --> 00:00:52,987 Speaker 2: one of the myths of making and keeping resolutions, you 15 00:00:53,027 --> 00:00:56,467 Speaker 2: tell me, is that you need grandiose gestures, one hundred 16 00:00:56,467 --> 00:01:00,787 Speaker 2: dollars diaries, new wearable technology to motivate you to act, 17 00:01:00,787 --> 00:01:04,147 Speaker 2: when actually you believe it's the other way around. And 18 00:01:04,187 --> 00:01:09,107 Speaker 2: getting moving with eva and a small steps the key 19 00:01:09,147 --> 00:01:11,027 Speaker 2: to all of this, Well, happen to. 20 00:01:11,107 --> 00:01:15,547 Speaker 3: You, Piney, Happy to everybody in my second most favorite 21 00:01:15,547 --> 00:01:18,987 Speaker 3: country in the world, of course, But look I've made 22 00:01:18,987 --> 00:01:22,427 Speaker 3: a resolution not to make any more resolutions. That's that's 23 00:01:22,507 --> 00:01:27,587 Speaker 3: been by resolution. But what I think happens with resolutions 24 00:01:27,627 --> 00:01:32,067 Speaker 3: piny is people make more of it than it needs 25 00:01:32,107 --> 00:01:37,147 Speaker 3: to be and they they go, right, what I need 26 00:01:37,227 --> 00:01:40,507 Speaker 3: is signs on my wall. You're going to print out 27 00:01:40,547 --> 00:01:42,387 Speaker 3: this is going to be my year. And they print 28 00:01:42,387 --> 00:01:44,987 Speaker 3: out posters, or they go and buy a piece of 29 00:01:44,987 --> 00:01:49,267 Speaker 3: technology that measures heart rate and weight and height and 30 00:01:49,507 --> 00:01:52,067 Speaker 3: gives you a lot of numbers for next week, and 31 00:01:52,107 --> 00:01:54,707 Speaker 3: they think they need to make these big gestures and 32 00:01:54,747 --> 00:01:58,467 Speaker 3: spend lots of money. Whereas you know all the stuff 33 00:01:58,547 --> 00:02:01,467 Speaker 3: that and certainly if anyone reads Mark Manson staff and 34 00:02:01,547 --> 00:02:04,307 Speaker 3: James Clear stuff and you've read some of that stuff, 35 00:02:04,787 --> 00:02:08,427 Speaker 3: what it keeps coming out and over again is that 36 00:02:08,907 --> 00:02:12,947 Speaker 3: you don't need to be motivated to start a resolution. 37 00:02:13,267 --> 00:02:18,067 Speaker 3: You need to start doing something that provides the motivation. 38 00:02:18,267 --> 00:02:20,547 Speaker 3: I think way too many people are looking for a 39 00:02:20,587 --> 00:02:24,827 Speaker 3: magic key or a secret trick, or a poster or 40 00:02:24,907 --> 00:02:29,347 Speaker 3: something that's going to strange and revolutionize their life instead 41 00:02:29,387 --> 00:02:31,627 Speaker 3: of just say no, let's get going tomorrow morning. I'm 42 00:02:31,667 --> 00:02:36,027 Speaker 3: going to do this five minutes. And that creates momentum, 43 00:02:36,187 --> 00:02:38,067 Speaker 3: and that creates motivation. 44 00:02:38,147 --> 00:02:40,347 Speaker 2: Is it also the fact that doing something small is 45 00:02:40,387 --> 00:02:44,867 Speaker 2: perhaps what feels more achievable than setting this big, huge 46 00:02:44,987 --> 00:02:48,147 Speaker 2: mass of daunting goal and you're almost paralyzed by it. 47 00:02:48,027 --> 00:02:54,507 Speaker 2: It is actually taking a step, the best first step, absolutely. 48 00:02:54,547 --> 00:02:57,387 Speaker 3: And have you ever noticed that a lot of the 49 00:02:57,467 --> 00:03:01,347 Speaker 3: people who write about resolutions and goal setting and so on, 50 00:03:01,347 --> 00:03:03,747 Speaker 3: one of the things they say is do first things first, 51 00:03:03,867 --> 00:03:07,147 Speaker 3: and do the big things first, and do the high 52 00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:10,227 Speaker 3: prot things. I don't know any of us can keep 53 00:03:10,307 --> 00:03:12,907 Speaker 3: to that. You know, I've got seven or eight things 54 00:03:12,947 --> 00:03:14,947 Speaker 3: to do, and one might be a four or five 55 00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:18,587 Speaker 3: page report or a proposal or something like that. The 56 00:03:18,627 --> 00:03:21,107 Speaker 3: idea of sitting down first thing in the morning, no 57 00:03:21,107 --> 00:03:24,947 Speaker 3: matter how much caffeleen I've had, and doing that first 58 00:03:25,507 --> 00:03:28,147 Speaker 3: is pretty daunting. So what I'll caught off and do 59 00:03:28,307 --> 00:03:31,267 Speaker 3: is I'll do a two hundred word social media pace 60 00:03:31,307 --> 00:03:33,787 Speaker 3: so the old brain starts to click in a little bit. 61 00:03:34,147 --> 00:03:35,987 Speaker 3: And then I might ring a colleague and we'll have 62 00:03:36,027 --> 00:03:38,267 Speaker 3: a chat about whatever's in the news at the moment 63 00:03:38,307 --> 00:03:41,707 Speaker 3: in sport, and then I might and then my brains, 64 00:03:41,747 --> 00:03:44,907 Speaker 3: like you would in any exercise program, that little bit 65 00:03:44,947 --> 00:03:48,667 Speaker 3: of action momentum builds and builds and then you go, right, 66 00:03:48,787 --> 00:03:53,067 Speaker 3: let's get into this thing. And I think that that 67 00:03:53,347 --> 00:03:58,307 Speaker 3: idea of creating your own momentum, your own movement, just 68 00:03:58,507 --> 00:04:02,147 Speaker 3: getting things rolling and then it gains momentum and then bang, 69 00:04:02,547 --> 00:04:04,987 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you're there, you know, And look, 70 00:04:05,027 --> 00:04:06,987 Speaker 3: you've only got to look at the fitness industry, pinty. 71 00:04:08,387 --> 00:04:12,987 Speaker 3: The fitness industry makes so much money. So gyms and 72 00:04:13,067 --> 00:04:15,787 Speaker 3: fitness centers and so on, they make so much money 73 00:04:15,827 --> 00:04:20,187 Speaker 3: when in January because everyone's going this is the year, 74 00:04:20,307 --> 00:04:24,267 Speaker 3: gym membership, hot pilates, whatever's going on at the moment, 75 00:04:24,707 --> 00:04:27,827 Speaker 3: spin classes, this is the year. And they spend huge 76 00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:31,147 Speaker 3: amounts of money and promise they're going to come every 77 00:04:31,227 --> 00:04:35,107 Speaker 3: day and change their life and high protein diets, and 78 00:04:35,147 --> 00:04:36,707 Speaker 3: then by the time they get the first week of 79 00:04:36,787 --> 00:04:40,587 Speaker 3: every they're going how to offload my membership? Whereas if 80 00:04:40,587 --> 00:04:47,427 Speaker 3: they started small, achievable little things and just stick at it, 81 00:04:47,467 --> 00:04:50,467 Speaker 3: that's the and I think people are so stressed about 82 00:04:50,467 --> 00:04:53,267 Speaker 3: a plenty. I've got to do it every day and 83 00:04:53,307 --> 00:04:55,947 Speaker 3: it has to be thirty minutes, and no it doesn't. 84 00:04:56,507 --> 00:05:00,147 Speaker 3: It has to be whatever works and whatever's fun and 85 00:05:00,227 --> 00:05:03,427 Speaker 3: whatever you feel like as long as you're doing something 86 00:05:03,987 --> 00:05:07,907 Speaker 3: and creating that movement and and that momentum things start 87 00:05:07,947 --> 00:05:08,347 Speaker 3: to happen. 88 00:05:09,067 --> 00:05:11,147 Speaker 2: We mentioned a word there, I think, which is key 89 00:05:11,187 --> 00:05:13,947 Speaker 2: as well, and that's fun. Because if we don't like 90 00:05:14,027 --> 00:05:16,347 Speaker 2: doing something, I guess there's least chance that we will 91 00:05:16,387 --> 00:05:19,347 Speaker 2: continue doing it. So how important is it to make 92 00:05:19,427 --> 00:05:23,587 Speaker 2: things enjoyable and to find the fun in our resolutions? 93 00:05:24,547 --> 00:05:29,147 Speaker 3: Oh? It's so important, isn't it? Because look, if you 94 00:05:29,307 --> 00:05:33,547 Speaker 3: google what are the top five ways, or go to 95 00:05:33,627 --> 00:05:36,067 Speaker 3: AI and go what are the top five ways to 96 00:05:36,227 --> 00:05:41,227 Speaker 3: burn killer jewels? It'll say running, cross country skiing, probably swimming, 97 00:05:41,227 --> 00:05:44,307 Speaker 3: it'll say something like that. Well, that's great. But if 98 00:05:44,307 --> 00:05:48,467 Speaker 3: you hate running and you've got you've got sourceins and 99 00:05:48,507 --> 00:05:51,267 Speaker 3: bad knees and maybe carrying a couple of kilos after 100 00:05:51,347 --> 00:05:54,427 Speaker 3: Christmas dinner, and you live at a high climate see 101 00:05:54,667 --> 00:05:58,627 Speaker 3: cross country ski and you can't swim, it doesn't matter 102 00:05:58,667 --> 00:06:01,507 Speaker 3: what the experts and what Google is telling you is 103 00:06:01,547 --> 00:06:03,907 Speaker 3: going to burn the most killer jewels? But if you 104 00:06:03,987 --> 00:06:06,907 Speaker 3: go you know what I really like doing. I like walking, 105 00:06:06,947 --> 00:06:08,747 Speaker 3: and then when I come back from a walk, I 106 00:06:08,907 --> 00:06:11,787 Speaker 3: like to do ten or fifteen minutes of light exercise 107 00:06:11,827 --> 00:06:14,827 Speaker 3: around the house, which could be anything I mean, finally, 108 00:06:14,867 --> 00:06:18,347 Speaker 3: I live in the bush, right, and you and I 109 00:06:18,387 --> 00:06:20,427 Speaker 3: should market this and make some money out of it, 110 00:06:20,467 --> 00:06:22,987 Speaker 3: because I've got this thing I call a bush fitness. 111 00:06:23,387 --> 00:06:26,827 Speaker 3: And around our house we've got rocks, and we've got logs, 112 00:06:27,267 --> 00:06:29,787 Speaker 3: and we've got sticks and all sorts of stuff of 113 00:06:29,907 --> 00:06:33,547 Speaker 3: bricks and things around the house. And what I like 114 00:06:33,627 --> 00:06:37,027 Speaker 3: to do, as crazy as it sounds, sometimes I just 115 00:06:37,227 --> 00:06:40,587 Speaker 3: moved the wood pile from one one place to another 116 00:06:40,627 --> 00:06:43,587 Speaker 3: place only a few meters. Now I'm getting a little 117 00:06:43,587 --> 00:06:46,227 Speaker 3: bit of a rapeic exercise. I'm getting some arm strength, 118 00:06:46,267 --> 00:06:48,147 Speaker 3: a little bit of leg strength, I'm getting up a 119 00:06:48,187 --> 00:06:50,867 Speaker 3: back strength, and I love doing it. Costs me nothing. 120 00:06:51,667 --> 00:06:55,067 Speaker 3: In the past, I've spent a fortune on waits. I mean, 121 00:06:55,107 --> 00:06:57,907 Speaker 3: how many times have we all got aw year and 122 00:06:57,947 --> 00:07:00,627 Speaker 3: we've gone on to marketplace, or we've gone online, or 123 00:07:00,627 --> 00:07:04,907 Speaker 3: we've gone to a sports store. We've spent one hundred 124 00:07:04,947 --> 00:07:06,947 Speaker 3: and two hundred and three hundred and four dollars on 125 00:07:07,027 --> 00:07:10,027 Speaker 3: sports equipment that all it does is end up sitting 126 00:07:10,067 --> 00:07:11,667 Speaker 3: in the corner of the room and we'll use it 127 00:07:11,707 --> 00:07:13,787 Speaker 3: for a leadweight to keep the door open, or somewhere 128 00:07:13,787 --> 00:07:17,187 Speaker 3: to hang our shirts. You know, just if there's something 129 00:07:17,227 --> 00:07:21,067 Speaker 3: around the house you're like doing. Just do that. Don't 130 00:07:21,147 --> 00:07:23,587 Speaker 3: waste too much money and too much time. Just get 131 00:07:23,667 --> 00:07:24,707 Speaker 3: moving and do something. 132 00:07:25,427 --> 00:07:31,187 Speaker 2: When we talk about training and staying accountable and being consistent, 133 00:07:31,427 --> 00:07:36,227 Speaker 2: often having somebody else there must help with that. So 134 00:07:36,787 --> 00:07:38,787 Speaker 2: bring a buddy along for the ride. Would that be 135 00:07:38,787 --> 00:07:41,107 Speaker 2: a fair piece of advice, you. 136 00:07:41,147 --> 00:07:44,827 Speaker 3: Would think so, And you know, try to find somebody. 137 00:07:45,827 --> 00:07:48,427 Speaker 3: In a perfect world, you'd find somebody who had the 138 00:07:48,427 --> 00:07:52,027 Speaker 3: same level of fitness and same training background, and just 139 00:07:52,187 --> 00:07:56,027 Speaker 3: find someone who you can get along with. Because lookin 140 00:07:56,787 --> 00:08:00,147 Speaker 3: in my distant past, I was part of the Australian 141 00:08:00,147 --> 00:08:03,947 Speaker 3: Triythlon team and manage Australian Triythleon team going into the 142 00:08:04,107 --> 00:08:06,627 Speaker 3: Athens Olympics. I used to get up in the morning 143 00:08:07,347 --> 00:08:10,347 Speaker 3: and go running with the elite triathletes. Now before everybody 144 00:08:10,387 --> 00:08:15,987 Speaker 3: gets excited and things, you know, imagines that I'm like 145 00:08:16,027 --> 00:08:19,947 Speaker 3: a gazelle running across the fields of France. It was 146 00:08:20,027 --> 00:08:22,707 Speaker 3: quite the opposite. I got up in the morning and 147 00:08:22,787 --> 00:08:26,347 Speaker 3: I liked their company, and so we would go downstairs 148 00:08:26,347 --> 00:08:28,307 Speaker 3: and get a coffee and they'd walk with me for 149 00:08:28,347 --> 00:08:31,187 Speaker 3: the first ten or fifteen minutes, and then they jogged 150 00:08:31,267 --> 00:08:33,427 Speaker 3: slowly with me and we'd have a few laughs and 151 00:08:33,627 --> 00:08:35,947 Speaker 3: a bit of a chat, and then the elite athletes 152 00:08:35,947 --> 00:08:39,547 Speaker 3: would take off and do their training. So you can 153 00:08:39,627 --> 00:08:42,307 Speaker 3: do that. You don't have to be look for someone 154 00:08:42,347 --> 00:08:45,947 Speaker 3: who's got the same size, same weight, same training background. 155 00:08:46,147 --> 00:08:49,907 Speaker 3: Just go with someone that you enjoy spending time with. 156 00:08:50,347 --> 00:08:52,107 Speaker 3: And if you're fitted than they are and you're a 157 00:08:52,107 --> 00:08:54,547 Speaker 3: little more advanced in your training, well say hey, look 158 00:08:54,587 --> 00:08:56,227 Speaker 3: this is where I'm going to turn off to the left. 159 00:08:56,227 --> 00:08:57,907 Speaker 3: I'll see you tomorrow. You go and do a little 160 00:08:57,947 --> 00:09:01,547 Speaker 3: bit harder or longer, and vice versa. If you're with 161 00:09:01,627 --> 00:09:04,747 Speaker 3: somebody and you're struggling a little bit, say hey, look, 162 00:09:04,987 --> 00:09:07,787 Speaker 3: I've had a great morning the fifteen minutes walking with 163 00:09:07,907 --> 00:09:10,147 Speaker 3: you and warming up. I really love that. I'm going 164 00:09:10,227 --> 00:09:12,227 Speaker 3: to do my own thing now. I'll see you tomorrow morning. 165 00:09:12,227 --> 00:09:14,587 Speaker 3: And they can go off and run into the hills 166 00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:18,867 Speaker 3: and so on. But Troy, don't be overly obsessed with 167 00:09:19,187 --> 00:09:22,707 Speaker 3: who's the fittest and who's just do I like walking 168 00:09:22,707 --> 00:09:24,667 Speaker 3: with this? But do I like swimming next to them? 169 00:09:24,667 --> 00:09:27,587 Speaker 3: Do I like riding a bike next to them? If 170 00:09:27,627 --> 00:09:32,427 Speaker 3: you're looking forward to just spending time with your fitness buddy, 171 00:09:32,787 --> 00:09:36,267 Speaker 3: that's the motivation they'd be too obsessed with they can 172 00:09:36,307 --> 00:09:38,147 Speaker 3: do more push up for me? Or how much weight 173 00:09:38,227 --> 00:09:40,867 Speaker 3: that you forget? All that just do I like them 174 00:09:41,027 --> 00:09:42,027 Speaker 3: and can we get along. 175 00:09:42,707 --> 00:09:45,147 Speaker 2: There's a very famous saying about the best laid plans, 176 00:09:45,387 --> 00:09:49,187 Speaker 2: and look, we all know waying that life happens. How 177 00:09:49,227 --> 00:09:53,187 Speaker 2: important is it to be flexible around your resolutions and 178 00:09:53,227 --> 00:09:57,307 Speaker 2: not getting too stressed out if something happens that jettisons 179 00:09:57,347 --> 00:09:58,947 Speaker 2: those plans for a little while. 180 00:10:00,107 --> 00:10:02,387 Speaker 3: So I think that's one of the best points Piney. 181 00:10:02,387 --> 00:10:06,507 Speaker 3: And the best question that we can address is if 182 00:10:06,507 --> 00:10:09,947 Speaker 3: you're training to win the Olympic gold medal and you're 183 00:10:10,027 --> 00:10:15,307 Speaker 3: six weeks out and miller meters matter and micro seconds 184 00:10:15,387 --> 00:10:18,387 Speaker 3: are everything, well, yeah, probably you don't want to miss 185 00:10:18,387 --> 00:10:21,667 Speaker 3: too many training sessions. But if your people like you 186 00:10:21,707 --> 00:10:23,707 Speaker 3: and I may we just want to feel better and 187 00:10:23,787 --> 00:10:26,827 Speaker 3: we want to maybe go up a rung on our belts, 188 00:10:26,907 --> 00:10:29,147 Speaker 3: or we want to have more energy to spend time 189 00:10:29,187 --> 00:10:31,907 Speaker 3: with our kids that play golf, go fishing and do 190 00:10:31,947 --> 00:10:35,267 Speaker 3: the things that we like doing. Don't be overly obsessed 191 00:10:35,507 --> 00:10:38,547 Speaker 3: and trying with you again, this is there's the beauty 192 00:10:38,587 --> 00:10:40,907 Speaker 3: of AI as you can go and you can put 193 00:10:40,907 --> 00:10:43,467 Speaker 3: a little profile about yourself. Say hi, I'm Jason Pine. 194 00:10:43,467 --> 00:10:46,947 Speaker 3: I'm the world's best broadcaster, as you are. But I 195 00:10:46,947 --> 00:10:49,267 Speaker 3: could go on and say I'm a Kiwi. I live here, 196 00:10:49,307 --> 00:10:51,707 Speaker 3: this is my background, this is what I like to do. 197 00:10:52,267 --> 00:10:54,027 Speaker 3: This is sort of things that interests me. You can 198 00:10:54,067 --> 00:10:56,027 Speaker 3: do all that in AI, and AI will give you 199 00:10:56,627 --> 00:11:00,107 Speaker 3: a day by day, hour by our training program if 200 00:11:00,147 --> 00:11:04,867 Speaker 3: you want it. And I urge people don't become slaves 201 00:11:04,947 --> 00:11:09,347 Speaker 3: to your program. Don't allow it to dictate your life. 202 00:11:10,467 --> 00:11:14,027 Speaker 3: You're better off having it over. I'll say, okay, let's 203 00:11:14,027 --> 00:11:17,907 Speaker 3: think about Jason Pine six months from now. What would 204 00:11:17,907 --> 00:11:21,187 Speaker 3: I like to see walking down the street. I'd like 205 00:11:21,227 --> 00:11:23,147 Speaker 3: to go I'd like to have more energy. I'd like 206 00:11:23,187 --> 00:11:25,707 Speaker 3: to feel better. I'd like to jump out of bed 207 00:11:25,707 --> 00:11:27,787 Speaker 3: in the morning instead of just sort of rolling over 208 00:11:27,907 --> 00:11:30,107 Speaker 3: like most of us bite and sit there for a 209 00:11:30,107 --> 00:11:32,027 Speaker 3: few seconds thinking how do I get through the day? 210 00:11:32,467 --> 00:11:36,627 Speaker 3: I'd like to do it with stress better. I'd you know, Okay, Well, 211 00:11:37,067 --> 00:11:40,347 Speaker 3: start with a really clear vision of the endpoint and 212 00:11:40,387 --> 00:11:43,907 Speaker 3: then work backwards from there and keep the vision really 213 00:11:43,987 --> 00:11:45,747 Speaker 3: clearly in your mindset. Well, that's for I want do 214 00:11:45,827 --> 00:11:49,947 Speaker 3: we end up and focus on that rather than hey, 215 00:11:49,987 --> 00:11:52,067 Speaker 3: it's ten o'clock, I've got to weave a protein stack. 216 00:11:52,067 --> 00:11:53,907 Speaker 3: All right, it's three o'clock, I've got to do my bike. 217 00:11:54,467 --> 00:11:59,627 Speaker 3: Because everything we know about resolutions, the more rigid and inflexible, 218 00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:02,427 Speaker 3: the less likely it is that you're going to stick 219 00:12:02,467 --> 00:12:02,747 Speaker 3: to it. 220 00:12:04,227 --> 00:12:06,987 Speaker 2: And you mentioned before about the you know, the small 221 00:12:06,987 --> 00:12:09,787 Speaker 2: steps perhaps to begin with, so you've got that vision, 222 00:12:09,787 --> 00:12:12,907 Speaker 2: as you say, maybe work backwards from there, but as 223 00:12:13,027 --> 00:12:18,147 Speaker 2: small sustainable steps. The best way to attack, to attack 224 00:12:18,227 --> 00:12:19,387 Speaker 2: the road to that. 225 00:12:19,427 --> 00:12:22,707 Speaker 3: Vision, I think so, you know, look I think so, 226 00:12:22,787 --> 00:12:26,547 Speaker 3: And look, you can start with some really simple things, 227 00:12:26,587 --> 00:12:31,347 Speaker 3: like people, if you've got okay shoulders and an okay ticker, 228 00:12:31,587 --> 00:12:33,307 Speaker 3: who might say, you know what, this is year I 229 00:12:33,347 --> 00:12:35,907 Speaker 3: start doing some push ups. You don't have to start 230 00:12:35,947 --> 00:12:39,347 Speaker 3: with one hundred and thirty seven. And you know, I 231 00:12:39,347 --> 00:12:41,507 Speaker 3: don't how many people said this year, I've got a 232 00:12:41,507 --> 00:12:43,587 Speaker 3: goal I'm going to do. Figure out how I can 233 00:12:43,587 --> 00:12:45,827 Speaker 3: get fit enough and strong enough to do fifty push ups. 234 00:12:46,267 --> 00:12:49,867 Speaker 3: So they start the first day, we're doing as many 235 00:12:49,907 --> 00:12:52,187 Speaker 3: as they possibly can, and of course what happens the 236 00:12:52,187 --> 00:12:55,267 Speaker 3: next morning they're pick miners and their shoulders are so 237 00:12:55,267 --> 00:12:58,587 Speaker 3: sore they can't do any so three days off, there's 238 00:12:58,707 --> 00:13:01,787 Speaker 3: nothing wrong. Whither on the first of January or the 239 00:13:01,827 --> 00:13:04,907 Speaker 3: eighth of January or the fifteenth of January, starting off 240 00:13:04,907 --> 00:13:08,947 Speaker 3: and doing to push all one push up and do 241 00:13:09,067 --> 00:13:11,747 Speaker 3: that for a few days, and then do two, and 242 00:13:11,787 --> 00:13:14,547 Speaker 3: then three weeks later you're doing five, and all of 243 00:13:14,547 --> 00:13:17,667 Speaker 3: a sudden, by March you're doing your twenty or thirty 244 00:13:17,667 --> 00:13:21,267 Speaker 3: push ups. But you know, I think people go, this 245 00:13:21,387 --> 00:13:23,587 Speaker 3: is it, this is the year, this is my time, 246 00:13:24,147 --> 00:13:31,867 Speaker 3: and that almost overwhelming desire for revolutionary change, to look 247 00:13:31,947 --> 00:13:35,307 Speaker 3: better and feel better, they try to do too much, 248 00:13:35,347 --> 00:13:38,387 Speaker 3: too soon, too early, and then they start missing days, 249 00:13:38,387 --> 00:13:41,027 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, that's well, maybe next year 250 00:13:41,747 --> 00:13:44,867 Speaker 3: is the thing. Let's make it. Twenty twenty seven will 251 00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:47,827 Speaker 3: be the I get better. So yes, give that. Really, 252 00:13:48,187 --> 00:13:52,147 Speaker 3: there's nothing wrong. We're going for a five minute walk. 253 00:13:52,307 --> 00:13:55,707 Speaker 3: You don't have to do an hour. People think in 254 00:13:55,787 --> 00:13:58,347 Speaker 3: terms of thirty minutes or one hour blocks because cut off, 255 00:13:58,387 --> 00:14:00,947 Speaker 3: and that's the way exercise classes are set up. There's 256 00:14:00,987 --> 00:14:04,267 Speaker 3: nothing wrong with doing a five minute walk and two 257 00:14:04,307 --> 00:14:07,907 Speaker 3: push ups. There's nothing wrong with doing ten minutes on 258 00:14:07,947 --> 00:14:12,427 Speaker 3: a stationary bike and two sit ups. There's nothing wrong 259 00:14:12,827 --> 00:14:16,547 Speaker 3: because you know. The beauty of our bodies. Point is 260 00:14:16,587 --> 00:14:20,747 Speaker 3: that is that they adapt no matter how old you are. 261 00:14:21,587 --> 00:14:26,427 Speaker 3: They adapt so incredibly quickly to the stresses and demands 262 00:14:26,467 --> 00:14:28,707 Speaker 3: you put on them if you give them enough time 263 00:14:28,787 --> 00:14:32,987 Speaker 3: to adapt. Your body doesn't like being shocked. It doesn't 264 00:14:33,187 --> 00:14:35,907 Speaker 3: like all of a sudden going from nothing to being 265 00:14:35,947 --> 00:14:39,347 Speaker 3: bombarded with huge amounts of exercise and hard work all 266 00:14:39,347 --> 00:14:43,467 Speaker 3: of a sudden. But you would be surprised at the 267 00:14:43,867 --> 00:14:47,667 Speaker 3: tiniest of increments. Two sit ups, two push ups, three 268 00:14:47,747 --> 00:14:52,707 Speaker 3: minute walk. Those things accumulate so quickly, and just imagine 269 00:14:52,747 --> 00:14:57,307 Speaker 3: by March, for so many people starting from scratch. By March, 270 00:14:57,667 --> 00:15:01,267 Speaker 3: you could realistically be walking thirty forty minutes a day, easily, 271 00:15:01,547 --> 00:15:05,827 Speaker 3: doing ten or fifteen push ups, and feeling fantastic because 272 00:15:05,827 --> 00:15:07,307 Speaker 3: of the small steps that you took. 273 00:15:07,387 --> 00:15:11,387 Speaker 2: Now, the final point on this one page is perhaps 274 00:15:11,427 --> 00:15:14,187 Speaker 2: the most important, so much so that you've even given 275 00:15:14,227 --> 00:15:17,987 Speaker 2: it a different color. And it says nothing changes, if 276 00:15:18,027 --> 00:15:23,387 Speaker 2: nothing changes, least thinking less, talking more doing. Actions change 277 00:15:23,427 --> 00:15:27,827 Speaker 2: the world, not intentions. So it's action, isn't it. We 278 00:15:27,827 --> 00:15:30,467 Speaker 2: can talk all we like, we can we can think 279 00:15:30,507 --> 00:15:32,667 Speaker 2: all we like, But it's the doing part of this 280 00:15:33,227 --> 00:15:34,427 Speaker 2: isn't it? That is key? 281 00:15:34,587 --> 00:15:37,707 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is piney. And look, I can share a 282 00:15:37,787 --> 00:15:41,187 Speaker 3: quick personal story with everyone. Is that that? You know? 283 00:15:41,227 --> 00:15:44,347 Speaker 3: I've got a bit of an online presence, and you know, 284 00:15:44,387 --> 00:15:46,187 Speaker 3: I write to a lot of social media stuff and 285 00:15:46,267 --> 00:15:50,147 Speaker 3: substacks and so on. And I was talking to a 286 00:15:50,147 --> 00:15:53,267 Speaker 3: friend of mine who's really into media. She's she's done 287 00:15:53,307 --> 00:15:56,507 Speaker 3: to just finished her degree in media, and she's really 288 00:15:56,547 --> 00:15:59,587 Speaker 3: into filmmaking and so on. And she said, Wayne, am 289 00:15:59,587 --> 00:16:02,307 Speaker 3: if I give you some advice, She said, every time 290 00:16:02,307 --> 00:16:04,907 Speaker 3: I talk to you're talking about getting the latest technology 291 00:16:04,987 --> 00:16:07,947 Speaker 3: or a new camera, all the lighting. She said, you know, 292 00:16:07,987 --> 00:16:10,547 Speaker 3: those things don't matter. People want to hear from you. 293 00:16:10,827 --> 00:16:12,867 Speaker 3: And if you fluff a couple of lines, or if 294 00:16:12,907 --> 00:16:16,867 Speaker 3: you make a mistake, or if you make an era 295 00:16:16,907 --> 00:16:19,787 Speaker 3: halfway through or your cough, I don't worry about it 296 00:16:19,867 --> 00:16:23,747 Speaker 3: because people just want to hear you you say something. 297 00:16:23,867 --> 00:16:26,027 Speaker 3: And she had this wonderful line point. It's a great way. 298 00:16:26,027 --> 00:16:28,627 Speaker 3: I think the wrapper up is she said, Look, you 299 00:16:28,787 --> 00:16:32,267 Speaker 3: don't have to be great to start, but you have 300 00:16:32,347 --> 00:16:36,827 Speaker 3: to start to be great. And it's such a brilliant line, 301 00:16:36,867 --> 00:16:39,867 Speaker 3: isn't it that She said, you're overly concerned with video 302 00:16:40,027 --> 00:16:42,987 Speaker 3: angles and worry about how good your camera is and where. 303 00:16:42,987 --> 00:16:45,587 Speaker 3: She said, just get on the bloody camera way and 304 00:16:45,747 --> 00:16:50,347 Speaker 3: talk because people want to hear you and all your 305 00:16:50,427 --> 00:16:54,747 Speaker 3: ugliness and mistake. Nobody cares what your background is. They 306 00:16:54,787 --> 00:16:57,467 Speaker 3: want to hear what you've got to say. So she said, 307 00:16:57,867 --> 00:17:01,027 Speaker 3: if you want to be great, it's not about being 308 00:17:01,027 --> 00:17:04,267 Speaker 3: great to start, but you have to start. You've actually 309 00:17:04,267 --> 00:17:07,547 Speaker 3: got to do something. You've got to start to become great. 310 00:17:07,587 --> 00:17:10,307 Speaker 3: And that's more mono for you. That is more resolution body. 311 00:17:10,627 --> 00:17:12,627 Speaker 3: If you're like you've got to start to be great. 312 00:17:12,867 --> 00:17:16,827 Speaker 2: Wonderful stuff as always, Wayne, just such a privilege listening 313 00:17:16,827 --> 00:17:19,827 Speaker 2: to your talk so much, so much information and tips 314 00:17:19,867 --> 00:17:22,387 Speaker 2: people can take away.
