Speaker 1: Wind Down and Radio podcast. It's a little bonus episode.
Speaker 1: How you feeling it was like groundhold day? Why? Because,
Speaker 1: like we said last week, every day just seems like
Speaker 1: it's the same. Well on a positive note, because I'm
Speaker 1: going to be positive Patty and negative Nancy over there
Speaker 1: negative a statement. Okay, Well, this is a little extra
Speaker 1: added episode and I'm humped about that because it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful day out in Nashville and it's just feeling like
Speaker 1: a good day. And we've got Jillian Michael's calling in
Speaker 1: at any second, and I love her so much. She
Speaker 1: was from the Biggest Loser and she's badass and she's
Speaker 1: gonna get us all in shape because lord knows, I've
Speaker 1: just been going to the pantry every two seconds because
Speaker 1: there's nothing else to do. But it's been really fun.
Speaker 1: What have you guys been doing to like stay in
Speaker 1: shape and stay like fit during because you guys are
Speaker 1: in an incredible shape. Everyone knows that. Wait, wa have
Speaker 1: you neon to stay active during this time where you
Speaker 1: stuck inside probacept curling chicken nuggets? My man? No, I mean,
Speaker 1: like Jenna said, it has been a lot of trips
Speaker 1: to the pantry and the refrigerator. But because we have
Speaker 1: a home gym and it's starting to get nice out,
Speaker 1: Janna walks like almost every day and then she's more
Speaker 1: consistent than I am. But I get my workouts in
Speaker 1: a couple of times a week in the garage, so
Speaker 1: we're making the most of it. Yeah, I mean, I've
Speaker 1: been working out a lot. I actually feel, you know,
Speaker 1: as much as I've been eating, I feel pretty good
Speaker 1: about how much I've been working out and going for walks,
Speaker 1: and um, just like being as active as I can
Speaker 1: be because I can either sit in my bed all
Speaker 1: day and be depressed and not do anything, or I
Speaker 1: can move my body and I can be outside and
Speaker 1: I can go for walks, and I can you know,
Speaker 1: FaceTime my trainer and I can I can choose that
Speaker 1: rather than being depressed in bed, and I chose. I've
Speaker 1: chosen bed a few days, but I've chosen getting out
Speaker 1: and exercising a lot more. And it's felt. It's just
Speaker 1: I don't know, every time I work, I just feel better.
Speaker 1: I love being outside and just you know, there's so
Speaker 1: many things that like I've rearranged, you know, my linen
Speaker 1: closet and I've organized and I've you know, I have
Speaker 1: a few other things that I probably wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to do during this time if we were all working,
Speaker 1: just because there's something more important that I would have
Speaker 1: been doing. We've been kicking about with the house projects. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've been doing a really good job. So it's it's
Speaker 1: been nice to get out and do things. And I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't like this. You know these walking stones here,
Speaker 1: Let's pick up these giant stones and move them over here.
Speaker 1: And um. So that's just been really nice to just
Speaker 1: do things that normally I probably wouldn't have done because
Speaker 1: I would be so focused on all the work now
Speaker 1: and I stressed out about money. Yaw. But you know again,
Speaker 1: just go out, do things, be positive, and hope that
Speaker 1: it all in soon. I keep seeing this thing on
Speaker 1: social media where people are like, um, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: during this time, you don't have to like write the
Speaker 1: great American novel. You don't have to like, uh, make
Speaker 1: a sculpture of of your family or whatever. You don't
Speaker 1: have to have these great cheaments. Feel free to like
Speaker 1: sit on the couch, watch TV and like maybe have
Speaker 1: another slice of cake, and like you feel free to
Speaker 1: like treat yourself like that. And uh, Whenever I see that,
Speaker 1: I always think like, yeah, you don't have to like
Speaker 1: be like going NonStop during this time we're real stuck inside,
Speaker 1: but like there should also be a little bit of
Speaker 1: moderation in there, like you should just be on the
Speaker 1: couch the whole time. And it's kind of rude that
Speaker 1: summer is approaching, like if this is if this is
Speaker 1: winter approaching. And I've been like, you know, because I've
Speaker 1: season for sure. Yeah, I mean I've gotten to the
Speaker 1: freezer to get my ben and Jerry's more times than
Speaker 1: not than I never do that. But now I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's summer, okay, crap, it's like around the corner. So
Speaker 1: people are gonna get hit with a rude awakening when
Speaker 1: they put on their bab suit. They're like, old, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't have had those, I know. But I've like my trainer,
Speaker 1: Aaron has been awesome and she actually has a um
Speaker 1: um an app um called Pretty Muscles, so I've been
Speaker 1: using her app a lot. It's been great. And then
Speaker 1: Julian Michaels who's calling in, has another app as well.
Speaker 1: It's I think it's like seven minutes um. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: called um Julian's My Fitness by Jillian Michael's app offers
Speaker 1: a seven minute daily workout, just seven minutes a day
Speaker 1: to get some exercise that can help you calm your
Speaker 1: mind and strengthen your immunity. And I just it already
Speaker 1: catches my attention because it says seven minutes. Jillian's on hold,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna disinfect my hands before I answer the call.
Speaker 1: So let's take a quick break really quick. Hey are
Speaker 1: you a friend? Oh my gosh, of course, I was
Speaker 1: just reading your breakdown um about your app, and seven
Speaker 1: minutes just sounds amazing, Like, oh my god. We were
Speaker 1: trying to figure out like what we could ask people
Speaker 1: to do right now, you know, because the kids are wrong,
Speaker 1: like everything's crazy, and we were like, all right, seven minutes.
Speaker 1: Everybody can commit to seven minutes, so they're free. You
Speaker 1: download the app and anyone can do it at home,
Speaker 1: no equipment needed. Seven minutes in heaven. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: know about that. But seven minutes, Jillian, does that include
Speaker 1: like any warm up? Or is it just seven minutes
Speaker 1: start to finish, let's go. It's seven minutes start to finish,
Speaker 1: let's go. But the idea and the hope is that
Speaker 1: you will maybe do like a three minute cardio warm
Speaker 1: up and a three minute stretch on your own. But ironically,
Speaker 1: like I didn't kind of come up with seven minutes
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. It's all based on data, so as
Speaker 1: kind of micro workouts and many workouts have risen the popularity,
Speaker 1: that number seems to be the magic number. So we're like,
Speaker 1: all right, it's the least barrier ventry, right, there's no charge,
Speaker 1: you don't have to travel, you don't need any equipment.
Speaker 1: It's not too hard, it's not too easy. It gives
Speaker 1: people a sense of accomplishment. It's like this a little
Speaker 1: seven minute micro break and and that really kind of
Speaker 1: is like a gateway drug. You kind of hope it's
Speaker 1: like a gateway work out to get people to do more.
Speaker 1: But that does seem to be kind of the number
Speaker 1: that they can manage right now. But it's not so
Speaker 1: crazy that you if you don't warm up, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get hurt. Like we're not doing Olympic lips or apply
Speaker 1: a metrics, like, it's just body weight training, um calisthetics
Speaker 1: using body weight. So yes, I'd love more, but it's
Speaker 1: seven minutes all in right, now do you kind of
Speaker 1: get frustrated that that's the limit seven minutes? Because I
Speaker 1: I don't want to think. I hope people don't take
Speaker 1: this the wrong way, but I think a seven minutes
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it sounds amazing to like my to
Speaker 1: my laziness and to just also know that, Okay, at
Speaker 1: least I did seven minutes, but like, don't they recommend thirty?
Speaker 1: And it's like, shouldn't we all be trying to do
Speaker 1: more than that? Do you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: it's like a lot of people, let's do more. I
Speaker 1: mean for years, when when I was younger, I used to,
Speaker 1: you know, get furious of people would say things like
Speaker 1: just take the stairs, and I was like, that's ridiculous,
Speaker 1: it gonna don't reading. And then to realize that, like you,
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of got to meet people where
Speaker 1: they're at. So I mean, look, yeah, I've got twenty
Speaker 1: minute workouts, thirty minute workouts, forty five minute workout, sixty
Speaker 1: minute workouts, which is totally unnecessary to be honest, like,
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty minutes done right four times a week
Speaker 1: will be more than more than effective, especially when you're
Speaker 1: eating right. But unfortunately or maybe that's the wrong word,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to make anybody feel bad. But
Speaker 1: the reality is, people I think are just they're overwhelmed,
Speaker 1: they're overworked, they're intimidated, and they're they can cite anything
Speaker 1: from I don't have the money, I don't have the time,
Speaker 1: I don't have the equipment. So there's something about these
Speaker 1: little micro workouts that you think, all right, I can
Speaker 1: do that. It doesn't sound horrible, it doesn't sound miserable
Speaker 1: to you. You kind of get him in the door
Speaker 1: with that, and then hopefully it does become a bait
Speaker 1: and switch. So it's like, you know, rad, let's try,
Speaker 1: you know, give me just a few more um and
Speaker 1: you you hope to acclimate them, introduce them, get them
Speaker 1: a base level of conditioning, get them comfortable with carving
Speaker 1: out some time. Uh and and then you know, get
Speaker 1: like good and you would get them there like twenty
Speaker 1: minutes uh and and if again, if if done right,
Speaker 1: twenty minutes will work. Um but you know you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta make every minute of those twenty minutes count.
Speaker 1: But that that is the goal, right as we start
Speaker 1: out with something is better than nothing. Get them in
Speaker 1: the door, warm them up, acclimate them and then you know,
Speaker 1: then you kind of do that bait and switch of
Speaker 1: like all right, now give me, give me a little
Speaker 1: bit more. So basically, your seven minutes is like a
Speaker 1: way to where there's no justifiable excuse around. That's like,
Speaker 1: we're not using weights, it doesn't cost you anything, it's
Speaker 1: only seven minutes. Like what excuse could somebody possibly come
Speaker 1: up with to say that they can't do seven minutes
Speaker 1: because their kids aren't in scoring pretty much? Here? Well,
Speaker 1: people always I totally, I totally agree with you, and
Speaker 1: and the argument there is like, look, you know what,
Speaker 1: you give them the iPad, you use the I parent
Speaker 1: for ten minutes or you you know, they jump around
Speaker 1: behind you and they do it with you, which I have.
Speaker 1: Yet I've tried that so many times and it really
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to work in my household because then it's
Speaker 1: like I was look at my daughter and she's like doing,
Speaker 1: you know, doing something totally wrong, and I'm like the
Speaker 1: trainer and me like no, no, no no, no, no no, bend
Speaker 1: your name, no no, but wait no, sweetheart, pull your button, no,
Speaker 1: don't do that. You're gonna get So finally I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna work out, here's your iPad
Speaker 1: and then we'll play later. Um, but I just don't
Speaker 1: think right now. The concept of being perfect if anything
Speaker 1: was laughable before this moment. No, it's it's sound right hilarious,
Speaker 1: like forget it, like homeschooling, then that the other it's
Speaker 1: just not going to be perfect. You do the best
Speaker 1: you can, and if you give your kid an iPad
Speaker 1: for ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes while you work
Speaker 1: out the world is not gonna end. I totally hear
Speaker 1: you on that. Um, I do have an excuse that
Speaker 1: I use a lot that I would love to to
Speaker 1: figure out why. Um, I don't like working out by myself.
Speaker 1: I hate it, like I truly don't like it. And
Speaker 1: even when I if I were to go on an app, um,
Speaker 1: like my trainer has an happen and I would go
Speaker 1: on there and I'm like, like, you know it. She
Speaker 1: has to do three rounds and I'm like I'm good.
Speaker 1: But I's like I had someone else in there. It's
Speaker 1: like my husband, like if Mike was in the gym,
Speaker 1: or if like my friends, I'd be like, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: thirty more squats, Like let's do this. I just don't
Speaker 1: like working out alone and it really sucks because I
Speaker 1: don't really have as many like active like let's go
Speaker 1: get him, let's go go do it. So it's just
Speaker 1: it's like, is that, like, what's wrong with me? Why?
Speaker 1: Like what do I How can I change that like mindset?
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with you. There's a reason that's called fit. Bam,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like this, there's a reason
Speaker 1: this stuff is like church for people because it does
Speaker 1: provide a sense of community and camaraderie and we're all
Speaker 1: in this together. And I mean it, it's a huge industry,
Speaker 1: group classes all the like for a reason. It's because
Speaker 1: of the social component. Right, Um, So there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with you. You're You're actually wired perfectly correctly. Human beings
Speaker 1: are designed to be social. Um. And what I would
Speaker 1: say is, in this particular instance, try a few of
Speaker 1: the Instagram live workouts, like they kind of suck. I
Speaker 1: started doing one just this past Sunday and thirty specific
Speaker 1: and in my mind, I'm Mike, all right, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if they can hear me. I
Speaker 1: I don't know if the music is like, can they
Speaker 1: hear me over the music, like I can't see what
Speaker 1: they're saying. Is I'm trying to instruct your workout like
Speaker 1: it's on a tiny little phone. I don't think this
Speaker 1: can stream to the TV. But you know what they
Speaker 1: people loved it because it gave them. It wasn't as
Speaker 1: a trainer. Of course, I was annoyed, right because it's
Speaker 1: like it's not perfect as a trainer. It's like, I
Speaker 1: want to hear everything, see everything. I want your feedback.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you're doing. And even my
Speaker 1: app allows that because you can say like too are
Speaker 1: too easy, don't want this move, don't like these foods,
Speaker 1: and then you'll get the response I would give you
Speaker 1: in real life, but on Instagram, like I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're doing. But I think people love it because
Speaker 1: even though it's not perfect, it's giving you a sense
Speaker 1: of like we're all in this together. We're all doing
Speaker 1: this at the same time for sure. Okay, I'll give
Speaker 1: that a shot. Or zooms. Try zoom the zoom with
Speaker 1: some of your friends. We should have bought zoom stock.
Speaker 1: Zoom is going crazy right now, right Like, do zoom
Speaker 1: with like five friends and throw up a video that
Speaker 1: you're all doing at the same time. Seriously, that's not bad, Jillian,
Speaker 1: How are you doing with this personally? Like obviously, your
Speaker 1: your profession, your whole world is is active and doing
Speaker 1: these kind of things. So how how are you feeling?
Speaker 1: Just like on a daily basis, are you going stare crazy?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you can still get outside, but
Speaker 1: you're still limited with what you can do. You know.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. I on one hand, I want to be like,
Speaker 1: we got this and it's okay and don't worry team,
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, I feel like that would
Speaker 1: be false. And while I know it's going to be okay,
Speaker 1: and while I know that there is a great lesson
Speaker 1: and opportunity for each and every one of us to
Speaker 1: grow from this and become better, I think it's important
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that this is the alter Like it is
Speaker 1: just such an incredible head f I don't know wearing
Speaker 1: your podcast, but everybody I know is having pretty intense
Speaker 1: feelings about very different things. So it could be a
Speaker 1: couple that's been married for ten years and has never
Speaker 1: had a fight, and now they're at each other's throats
Speaker 1: and because they're home all day long together and it's
Speaker 1: totally bizarre. It could be that you've lost your job
Speaker 1: where you have a hair salon with forty dollars a
Speaker 1: month overhead and you can't pay your bills for the
Speaker 1: first time and you don't know where the next meal
Speaker 1: is coming from. It could be that you have older
Speaker 1: parents that you're extremely worried about. It could be that
Speaker 1: your kids are home, and I mean, for me, it's
Speaker 1: it's the kids. It's been really not my kids. Actually,
Speaker 1: here's the crazy part. My kids have actually been fine.
Speaker 1: It's me feeling guilty because I still have work, and
Speaker 1: in fact, I have more work than ever right now,
Speaker 1: because it's like I've got so many different businesses and
Speaker 1: some are being impacted by this badly. Some are doing fine,
Speaker 1: like my app, but then it's like I've got to
Speaker 1: constantly feed that beast with new content and free content
Speaker 1: and flash the price and do all different. It's just
Speaker 1: I'm busier than ever work wise. And the other day
Speaker 1: I literally was like, oh my god, it's one thirty.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen my daughter. She's in her room in
Speaker 1: a dark room, in her pajamas. She hasn't had lunch,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, Like it was
Speaker 1: the worst feeling. I was like, I'm neglecting her, and
Speaker 1: I am, I'm ignoring her, and I am it's terrible
Speaker 1: for her. She's like not around her friends. She's this
Speaker 1: homeschool thing is a joke, flat out joke. At least
Speaker 1: my kids schools and they go to two different schools,
Speaker 1: and it's like that to me is really messing with
Speaker 1: my head. You're not the only mom. I mean, I'd
Speaker 1: walked with my mom's this morning and they were all
Speaker 1: like struggling because they felt guilty, like they weren't being
Speaker 1: you know, good enough parents. So you're not alone, and
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing that. Honestly, for sure, it's tough.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's crazy. That's what's messing with my
Speaker 1: head me personally. But Y just gave yourself a little
Speaker 1: grace because you're not the only mom feeling that. You're
Speaker 1: truly not. I mean, it's just you're doing the best
Speaker 1: that you can, and you're you're doing the best that
Speaker 1: you can, and you're also still trying to provide for
Speaker 1: your family, which is you know, and I think that's
Speaker 1: like why we're stressing out of here because I'm like, crap,
Speaker 1: like everything's canceling and it's like, how are we going
Speaker 1: to provide for our kids? And you know, just give them,
Speaker 1: give them some extra cuddles at night, and they're you know,
Speaker 1: they're going to be appreciative and they're going to know
Speaker 1: that you, you know, you were just doing what was
Speaker 1: best for them. I love you for saying that. And
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, we're exactly that. It's like we're
Speaker 1: all trying. And I said to my my ex today,
Speaker 1: who's you know, still like a very close friend and
Speaker 1: an incredible co print, but I was like, dude, summer
Speaker 1: school and she was like, how dare you? I'm killing
Speaker 1: this and you know this is where she shines, so
Speaker 1: thank god, but she's still have the kids half the time.
Speaker 1: And I was like, if they have to go to
Speaker 1: summer school, they have to go to summer school, Like
Speaker 1: I feel terrible, you know, they don't want to, but
Speaker 1: I am not a teacher. She's not a teacher. Like
Speaker 1: this is just not there's no way this is normal
Speaker 1: fourth grade, second grade, or whatever grade your kid is in.
Speaker 1: So it's like, you're right, it's like you you love
Speaker 1: your kids, you do the best you can and and
Speaker 1: it's just trying to kind of reconcile that and finding
Speaker 1: this new normal for however long this is gonna take.
Speaker 1: And here in l A, we just got to notice
Speaker 1: and it was like school is not going back quote
Speaker 1: indefinitely end quote. And you're just like, okay, alright, parents,
Speaker 1: But you know what, we all have at least seven minutes.
Speaker 1: So I need every single one of you guys to
Speaker 1: download Jillian Michael's app. Um, she offers. I mean obviously
Speaker 1: more than seven minutes to but if you have seven minutes,
Speaker 1: get your body moving. It's gonna make you feel better.
Speaker 1: Because Jillian, I was depressed in bed, so upset, and
Speaker 1: second I got outside, did some physical activity and worked out.
Speaker 1: I felt so much better, and I know you guys
Speaker 1: will too, So get out there download her app. And Jillian,
Speaker 1: thank you for being honest and thank you for just
Speaker 1: being you. I love you. Oh you guys, thank you
Speaker 1: for having me and I really appreciate it. And it's
Speaker 1: just nice to talk to people and connect. So giving
Speaker 1: you a hug through the microphone, I love it. And
Speaker 1: I'm just stay safe and stay healthy like you have. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Thanks Julian. Bye, guys. You know I love about the
Speaker 1: seven minutes thing. It's kind of like that concept that
Speaker 1: we've talked about before where if you wake up and
Speaker 1: make your bed in the morning, at least, no matter
Speaker 1: what you did the rest of the day, you've accomplished something.
Speaker 1: So it's like the seven minutes. Is your body going
Speaker 1: to change that day? No, but you did something, and
Speaker 1: over time your body is gonna change. Yeah, for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I love I just love her theory behind it,
Speaker 1: and I think it is a way that and promote
Speaker 1: people to get more active, more into it. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: and your body will change eventually if you do the
Speaker 1: most consistently. Yeah, consistently. Um, but I love her and
Speaker 1: I love that she was honest because it's hard. It
Speaker 1: can be very hard, especially with kids. But um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think I wanna affirm you. I think you've handled
Speaker 1: it very very well when it comes to work, slash
Speaker 1: time with kids, uh ratio and having any work. No.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying no, no no, no, I'm saying not from
Speaker 1: a sense of because usually you the way you are
Speaker 1: is without the coronavirus stuff going on, You're just like work, work, work,
Speaker 1: As immediately as work ends, you're with the kids, right,
Speaker 1: So you don't really make very seldom do you make
Speaker 1: time for you to just relax. You're either working out, working,
Speaker 1: or with the kids or doing something you just you
Speaker 1: can't you even say yourself, you just can't sit down.
Speaker 1: But the fact that you know, a few days ago,
Speaker 1: in the middle of the afternoon, during Jayson's nap, We're
Speaker 1: able to close the curtains and watch a movie, you know,
Speaker 1: during the middle of the day, and you've taken more
Speaker 1: moments to kind of realize, Okay, we don't have to
Speaker 1: be with the kids every minute every day right now.
Speaker 1: We do have some things take care of things around
Speaker 1: the house, you know, jobs that we've wanted to get done.
Speaker 1: So I just I'm proud of you how you bounced
Speaker 1: it out because I know how usually you are. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: if they appreciate that. But at the same time, it
Speaker 1: like kind of triggers me because I'm like, but I'd
Speaker 1: rather be working. I would rather like work than than
Speaker 1: watch a movie in the afternoon, And the anxiety of
Speaker 1: like not having money coming in is like nauseating me.
Speaker 1: Everyone across the country can understand that right now. So
Speaker 1: it's but I'm saying, we can't control that. So with
Speaker 1: that being said, what can you control what you do
Speaker 1: every day, and there's no reason to stress yourself out
Speaker 1: or have to feel guilty about spending every minute with
Speaker 1: the kids or whatever. I'm just you know, for sure,
Speaker 1: I get that, Like I totally get that, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. It's just it's been a challenge, for sure.
Speaker 1: But I feel like I've spent more time with the
Speaker 1: kids now then. Yeah, we all have, for sure. But
Speaker 1: I've loved every second of it. It's been amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've loved every second of it. They're the best, all right.
Speaker 1: Well that was a fun little bonus, Yeah, bonus
