Is that uh you know, 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.840 we we're gonna be very positive for the next five 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.080 minutes that we make a deal. And I loved how 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.040 you made sort of fitness the analogy with everything even 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.160 coming in from the stock market about the heavy lifting. 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.160 I loved it. Yeah. So how are you, like, how 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.600 are you feeling about things? You're in a beautiful place. 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.240 Our worlds have all been affected, but you have been 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.720 such a positive force to your point for decades now 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.320 and helping people sort of get through things. And man, 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.520 we need some of that right now. Well, I appreciate 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.560 you saying that. And it has been very challenging for 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.560 for all Americans, right, I mean, you know, since the 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.640 pandemic hit in March. Uh, people have been locked in lockdown. 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.039 You know, you look at businesses and people and families. Uh. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.760 I have my wife and we have four kids, uh, 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.400 spread around the country and around the world, and it's 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.920 it has been very challenging. But interestingly enough, when this 0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:00.680 pandemic hit, guys, um, I got vocals immediately, um from 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.480 folks like yourselves and CNN and Fox and ESPN saying shake. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.280 People are locked in their homes, uh, gyms are closed, 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.720 they're putting on weight, stress levels are high. You're the 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.320 guy that created personal fitness training and made it an occupation. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.000 And that's what I did. You know. I went to 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.440 people like Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford's homes with a broomstick, 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.400 a towel, and a chair and sort of created a 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.200 thirty minute workout that you could do in your home. 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.240 And it's really interesting, guys, when you're able to just 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.440 get a little creative. You know, when you're locked up, 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.640 and whether it's an apartment or a condo or your house, 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.079 you need to take a few minutes, just a few minutes, 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.680 you stand up and get your blood flowing. Whether it's 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.360 two cans of MoMA's tomato paste or a broomstick that 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.880 you could do some stretching, some squats, some lunges and 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.960 just believe is stought to. You know. I'm a big 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.440 believer in positive thinking. I was given a poem when 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.399 I was cut from my eighth grade basket ball team. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.760 True story, uh colt, don't quit And the last two 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.919 lines of the poemar stick to the fight when your 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.680 hottest hit. It's when things seem worse that you must 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.880 not quit. And it's it's a matter of changing those 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.480 negative thoughts of I can't do I can. So if 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.000 you're obviously, if you're driving right now, you can squeeze 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.359 your hands on the steering wheel and go do some issommetrics. 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.040 But if you're listening at home, you know, all you 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.560 have to be doing, guys is and you can be 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.520 doing right now in the studio, Jason and Carroll, UM 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:34.760 some isometric exercises that we have an official body by Jake. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.960 I'm I've been antisocial media for a very long time. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.680 Kind of silly. Yes, it's been silly, and you know, 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.000 but my two young sons were home from school and 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.640 they got me engaged with it and we started posting 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:53.000 up a little sixty second vignettes. Um, kind of like 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.440 I did with Ted Turner, me my start doing the 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:01.760 fitness break on Cable News Network back. Uh and uh, 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.920 just simple exercises that you can do. Look, exercise is 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.520 very boring, if you admit, we all admit it. Right, 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.440 if it was easy, everybody would be in great shape. Uh. 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.920 But what you need to do is find something that 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.240 works for you that you can incorporate into your lifestyle. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.960 And now more than ever, especially because look, I've talked 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:26.520 to so many gym owners, so many fitness studio owners 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.360 who are working diligently to keep their places clean so 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.120 they can open them.

I mean, 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.440 I would add in the idea and Caroline, I've talked 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.000 a lot about this on this show that she and 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:42.239 I notice, uh that because we're not commuting, we're getting 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.720 more sleep. And you know, it all is sort of 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.600 like this this machine that we all have that is 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:53.080 our bodies, Uh, does respond differently when you treat it well. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.600 And I love that you're taking I talk about the 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.560 upwich spiral of success and looking at the positives as 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.840 opposed to the challenges.

And I wanted 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.040 to make sure a because it's expensive and be because 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.120 the more you take in, the more you You know, 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.120 when you go to the bedroom, you get rid of 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.280 a lot of those vitamins. And here's an opportunity where 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:22.400 I want to make sure that you are healthy. And 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.200 especially you open the fridge in the morning and you 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.840 see the words don't quit. What is that? I mean? 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.720 You want to you want to talk about positive and 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.960 mid day.

You know I eat so I trained so 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.280 I could eat. I tell people we if you if 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.560 we go to dinner sometime I like to eat like 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.160 we're going to the electric chair. That's what I say, 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.559 because you know, you want to live your life. And 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.640 as I said, what's super important is how you are 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.119 mentally right. A lot of people right now, especially struggling, 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.480 and it's all about taking that first step at first 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.200 moment of just moving your body and doing something positive 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.720 for yourself. And there are lots and lots of people, 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.920 millions of folks who listen to you guys every day, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.400 and this is an unbelievable opportunity for me to spend 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.880 some time with you all, but especially people in the 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.680 Tri State areas where I grew up to do something 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.480 positive and at this moment in time especially, don't quit. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.520 Don't quit on you, on your families, on who you 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.360 are and how you're gonna be because as I said, right, 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.640 stick to the fight when your hardest hit. It's when 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.800 things seem worse that you must not quit. Listen, this 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.920 is so important and this is why you know, Dison, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.200 I do talk to a lot of folk in the 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.480 fitness industry because I think you know we've seen in 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.960 this virus, Jake. You know that for those who are unhealthy, 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.280 this virus has hurt them that much more. And I 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.560 do think about how we can make fitness much more 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.000 available to more people, make it accessible, make it cheaper. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.160 And you just said it and and it and it 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.280 is and listen, it's important to people love. I love 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.680 to go into a gym. It's great to see friends 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.000 and people. But you have to make good decisions. And 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.840 like I said in the earlier UH segment that we 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.560 had spoke two lots of gym owners who are doing 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.480 great things to keep their places clean and open. And 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.000 I'm so proud of everybody in Jersey and New York 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.320 can open again. It's doing in a smart way. That's 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.240 the way. We'll do it. Nice and slow, nice and smooth. 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.600 But especially folks over the age of fifty years old 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.800 who are being smart. You gotta be careful, right, go 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.720 out there and live your life, but do it in 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.880 a positive way. And nutrition, being health. You know, I 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.960 would never want to say that don't quit as a vaccine. 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:08.600 But did I just say don't quit the vaccine? Well, listen, 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.839 being healthy is the ultimate vaccine and living a healthy lives, 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.840 so we know that that is true and there's science 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.280 to back that up. You got to take care of yourself. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.120 That's for sure. What a treat for us. Thank you 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.360 so much, Jake Steinfeld. We look forward to, uh having 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:27.000 that dinner with you when things normalized, because I have 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.920 followed that very thing.
