It's my mission to help everyone 98 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: feel good about themselves. And exercise is just one of 99 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: the ways to get positive, to feel good and to 100 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: have the energy to go out and do the things 101 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: you love to do. And you know, it's so funny Denise, 102 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: because I have questions I always write out. But you know, 103 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: when I first started in the business and I was 104 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: doing stand up comedy and acting, and I learned, like 105 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, you just kind of react right that at 106 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day. So I just love that 107 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: you didn't say there was nothing in there about weight loss. 108 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: And you know, I constantly preached that, of course we 109 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: want to be a healthy weight, and that is important, 110 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: but there's so many other benefits to exercise, and you 111 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: don't judge the success of your exercise plan based on 112 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: the scale. And what you just said is what you know. 113 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: That's I think why we love each other so much, 114 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: and it appreciate because we we believe the exact same thing. 115 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: And that's it's about feeling good and and feeling good 116 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: mentally and physically, and that's why I exercise. It kind 117 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: of gets rid of all the grouchiness or anxiety that 118 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: you get. As soon as you get in about twenty minutes, 119 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: I feel so much better. It's just starting that I 120 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: want to get people going on just that first five minutes. Still, 121 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, you kind of gotta get into it. And 122 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: then once you pass that five minutes, okay, I can 123 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: do it, and then you feel great after workout. It's 124 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: a great feeling of self accomplishment that you overcame procrastination 125 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: and laziness. It's a really badge of a winner. When 126 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: you're finished, you feel so good. And that's what I 127 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: want people to feel. Even if it's simple exercise like 128 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: a twenty minute walk, whatever it is, you did something 129 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: good for you and your body and your mental your 130 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: your mental health too.

And it goes for eating healthy. Right, 173 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: There's so many choices, you know. There's I I don't 174 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: like swimming.

So you've had this storied career and you know, 180 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure there there are things you would have changed 181 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: and lessons you learned. So she's so fortunate to have 182 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: you as a mentor. Um, what's the advice you're giving her? Well, 183 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: always be yourself and that's pretty much what my mom 184 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: raised five kids that would always say, just be you 185 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: and you're gonna be fine. You're true to yourself and 186 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: I that's pretty much what I tell her, And she, 187 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: you know, has taught me a lot being a young 188 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: um entrepreneur herself.

You know, we do some 196 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: fun mother daughter workouts together that has been really successful 197 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of moms out there that want 198 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: to get their daughters in shape and vice versa, a 199 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: lot of daughters that come on, mom, you can do this. 200 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: So it works really well together as a bond for 201 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: mothers and daughters. So we have found that through traveling 202 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: all over the country, um all, a lot of mothers 203 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: and daughters show up to our live workouts that we 204 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: were doing a tour.

I was on for twenty four years every 211 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: day from ESPN to Lifetime TV. So for twenty four 212 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: years I was in their living rooms, in their basements, 213 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: working out every single day with the moms um all 214 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: over the country. So a lot of daughters remember that. 215 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: So it's kind of fun to you know, hear all 216 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: the stories and those were the Facebook comments I got 217 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: Denise were just that right, my pregnancy and all the 218 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: different you know, it's so many videos.

Uh there is right. 222 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: We are selling and happiness, and it's just especially at 223 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: a time like this right where oh my gosh, do 224 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: we need it now? Oh it's so unnerving and I 225 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: were all at home. This is the time to take 226 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: good care of your health. If you're healthy, keep going, 227 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: keep being optimistic. You need to keep your immune system up. 228 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: So I've been making sure we're exercising as a family 229 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: every single day. We've been taking some walks that no 230 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: one else is around. We've been exercising in the home together. 231 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: We've all set up office home offices. So I've grown 232 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: daughters now so they each have their own business. So 233 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: every little section of the house is being used for 234 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: conference calls and meeting so everything virtually. So I'm very, 235 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: very um you know, thankful to all of our health 236 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: workers for doing so many wonderful things for us at 237 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: the hospitals. I call them the hospital heroes. They are 238 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: our heroes. They are at the front lines. It's almost 239 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: like war there. So I really am thankful and less 240 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: that how hard they're working. From a family of nurses, 241 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: so a lot of my family and friends are doctors 242 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: and nurses. And I've talked to to this morning and 243 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: they are going through a lot and it's really great 244 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: to hear their stories to get through the day. So 245 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: we're thankful to be healthy and at home and stay 246 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: at home for them so they can work right. And 247 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: and I just did a show Denise on I've done 248 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: many and you have talked about it your entire Grede 249 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: two is time right. The number one reason people give 250 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: for not exercising. Well, now we have it right, So 251 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: this incredible opportunity to make incredible change and hopefully will 252 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: never happen again. But we want to look back and say, 253 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: what did you do with all that time? Turn it 254 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: into a positive. Right, you could take twenty minutes to 255 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: get in to work out, and on my website, I 256 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: have over one hundred and fifty different workouts you can 257 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: do and we're offering it all for free at Denise 258 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: Austin dot com.

Because honestly, I believe 261 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: this is your time to start a routine that hopefully 262 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: will take on for the rest of your life. It's 263 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: all about healthy habits. If you could just wake up, 264 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: I tell everyone, just start with tempering at you guys, 265 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: ten minutes that could lead to twenty minutes. Hey, I'm 266 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: feeling pretty good. Maybe I'll go for thirty minutes today 267 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: to work out.

It's it's shorter workouts and doing 273 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: the majority of them or many of them at home. Right, 274 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: what you just said, and I think what's incredible is 275 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: that you have this incredible you know, decades of content 276 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: that now people can access.

Just start. That's the key to start. 299 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: And you know that's I say, Denise that the yeahbuts 300 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: are gone. Right. There were a lot of yeahbuts when 301 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: you and I it was a couple of years after 302 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: you but been in for a long time myself and 303 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: the yeahbuts are gone. Yeah, but I don't have a 304 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: lot of time. Science says ten minutes matters, five minutes matters, 305 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: and do it throughout the day. You don't have to 306 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: go to the gym, you don't have to do an hour, 307 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: and that's what you're saying. And now to have all 308 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: of that content and all of that motivation is pretty amazing. 309 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: All you have to do is push to play. And 310 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: I got you. I was doing you a simple exercises 311 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: throughout the day too, because I tell people, you know, 312 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: what you could do a minute here of leg squats, 313 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: a minute here push up, because your muscles don't know 314 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: if you're in a fancy gym, they can't go to 315 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: any more, or in your kitchen or your living room, 316 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,719 Speaker 1: so you could be doing one minute exercises to tone 317 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: and shape and firm up your muscles and strength in 318 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: your muscles, and you don't have to do it all 319 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: at once. Where cardio is a little different, which I 320 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: like to stay sustained for about twelve minutes at least 321 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: to get the cardio vascular system going. But for toning 322 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: and for stretching being done all day long, anytime you want, 323 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: you could just stand out of your chair and stretch 324 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: your arms over your head right now, and that's great 325 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: for your back and keep your spine healthy. Remember your 326 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: spine is your lifeline, so keep it healthy and keep 327 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: it strong. And that's it, you know, and thank you 328 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: for writing the forwards to my new book. That is 329 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: everything you just said right, the micro workout planets. It's 330 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: shorter workouts and as you said, you know, people coming 331 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: out and thank you. Like to have your name.

People you have, 419 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, and just make changes. I started my career, Denise, 420 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: by modeling myself after the people who had what I 421 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: wanted look like I did, and and or what I 422 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: wanted to look like them and be like them. Right, 423 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: So I did what they did, and shockingly, you start 424 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: to achieve those things. Right. So you are just someone 425 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: who has stood the test of time, and if you 426 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: follow what Denise says, shockingly enough, things will change for 427 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: the better. Right. And it's easy. Everybody I eat and 428 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: I have wine at night. It's easy. You just gotta 429 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: stick to it. Consistency pays off. And I try to 430 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: work out most days for only thirty minutes, which is 431 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: so doable. So make sure you just do something. Move 432 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: the body, you know, move at home, stay at home, 433 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: and just do this. Stand up as often as you 434 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: can out of your rear end to shape up that 435 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,479 Speaker 1: rear end. Just move and walk and ever you're on 436 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: the phone calls, just walk and pace and walk and 437 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: talk and you'll get in better shape. You learn more 438 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: calories that way too. I'm standing as we I changed 439 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: my studio. It is now up on a standing platform, 440 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: so as you're talking about, because and that's all we do, right, 441 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: because you know, we're meant to move, We're not meant 442 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: to sit. And people that listen to my show, Denise 443 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: are going to think that we set this up beforehand 444 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: because I say you have to eat and I drink 445 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: red wine, and we did it together in Nantucket, so everybody, 446 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: we're both, uh, you know, being honest. And yes, you know, Tom, 447 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: I eat well eight percent of time and then have 448 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: my treats tent a time and some nights could be 449 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: a bowl of ice cream some nights or glass of 450 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: red wine, some nights margarite asy, So I kind of 451 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: mix it up. Yeah, I call it excessive moderation. You know, 452 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: most people do a lot a little bit, whether it's 453 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: exercise or trying to eat healthy, and it's about doing 454 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: a little bit a lot, and you can do that 455 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: and it's sustainable and you don't deprive yourself of anything. 456 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: And you can look.

I started the interview 498 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: with Denise purposely asking her the question what she attributes 499 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: her longevity in the industry too, and I was curious 500 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: to hear what she said. But I have my opinion 501 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: and strong opinions about what that is, and and they 502 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: are that she preaches common sense. She preaches avoiding the fad. 503 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: She's never pushed a crazy fad diet or fat workout, 504 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: not that I know of. Uh, the fact that she 505 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: grew up under I mean, she truly was mentored by 506 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: Jack Olaine. I just idolized him. And yes, I got 507 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: to talk to him during that hour long interview, but 508 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: I studied him and you know, he was my teacher 509 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: without having met him in person. And the other thing 510 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: is Denise is really really likable. You know that. I 511 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: always say, a squats, a squat, push ups a push up. 512 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: So when you have an instructor or a coach or 513 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: someone who inspires you, you gotta like them. And it's 514 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: really tough to dislike Denise Austin, and she's been around 515 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: for a reason. It is a really tough business, it's 516 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: and it's even harder for women. I would argue it's brutal. 517 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: It's tough enough. We're an industry where you know, looks 518 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: and image and all that kind of stuff, and that's 519 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: why so many people push this crazy stuff. But she 520 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: never has. And I love the moderation. Hey did she 521 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: talk about drinking wine and enjoying yourself in twenty Where 522 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: have we heard that before? And I have to say this, 523 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,959 Speaker 1: I get requests all the time to have people on 524 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: this show, and I turned the vast majority of them 525 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: down because they are preaching stuff that I don't believe in. 526 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: I don't care how big you're following is. And and 527 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be on a show because it's about 528 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: credibility and it's about helping you and I truly, truly 529 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: that's what it's about. For me. That's what I've spent 530 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: over thirty years doing. And I'm not ready to put 531 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: someone on who you're gonna go Wait a minute. That 532 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: kind of goes against what Tom says. But Denise Austin 533 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: disagree with one thing she says. That's not to mean 534 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: I can't disagree with people and love debates and stuff, 535 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: but when you're so obviously going against common sense, exercise 536 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: science and the basics, exercise science one oh one, not 537 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: happening here, not happening here. I just saw the hangover 538 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: for like the twenty millionth time scene in the police station. 539 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: But anyway, how amazing, how amazing Denise Austin, thank you 540 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: for listening to this show with her, and hopefully she 541 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: inspires you. And I mean it when I say you 542 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: have access to all this content. You have so many 543 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: different people you can follow, and you should mix it up. 544 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: But she has a website that is unbelievable with content 545 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 1: filled with all that. She said she bought back her shows, 546 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's a couple of bucks a month, but 547 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: what isn't now? And you can do different things in 548 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: that magazine. I mean, it was so unique she came out, 549 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: it was a week ago, not even a week ago, 550 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: and it is a beautiful magazine filled with recipes and 551 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: exercises and everything. So that's one of my goals with 552 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: the show is to give you not only the science 553 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: and the exercises and busting the myths. Hopefully I inspire 554 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna be the only one, and I'm 555 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: going to bring you the authentic, true people. We're gonna 556 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: help you have a better life. And Denise Austin has 557 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: done that for millions and her positivity and and I 558 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: love we didn't talk about weight loss at all. I 559 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: should tell you something and that will come. As I 560 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: always say, we want to be a healthy weight. You 561 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: will hear me say that over and over again. But 562 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: it's not the focus, and it is not the be all, 563 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: end all, and it is not how you judge your 564 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: exercise program. If you want to be as happy and 565 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: as healthy as someone like Denise Austin, especially into your sixties, 566 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,479 Speaker 1: you gotta meet her in person. By the way, she 567 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: looks phenomenal, but it's what she gives off that is 568 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: so incredible, the positive feelings. And you can have that 569 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: too by exercising and feeding your body really good things. 570 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: All right, enough said, I hope you enjoyed that.
