1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland, and this is Fitness Disrupted. Oftentimes 3 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: in social media on the web, different web site, you 4 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: will see these common phrases sayings the number one food 5 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: to avoid, or avoid this number one exercise or avoid this, 6 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: number one cardio mistake, clickbait, generally garbage, and I'm gonna 7 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: tell you what you really need to avoid. And as 8 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: I record this show, it is just a few minutes 9 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: until midnight. I just spent the last ten or so 10 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: hours in the hospital, not personally, but taking well personally, 11 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: yes I was there, but not for myself, taking a 12 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: family member. And actually it was two hospitals. We started 13 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: at one, ended up at another. This family member had 14 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: a major sudden back issue and it took ten hours 15 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: to just deal with. And so I've said this for 16 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: a long time, and I threw away the topic for 17 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: the podcast because if you know me, you know I 18 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: like to talk about what's happening right away when I'm 19 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: passionate about it and amped up. And for many, many decades, 20 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: how I've been saying, the number one thing you really 21 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: want to avoid is having to go to the hospital. 22 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: Is having to go to the doctor. Now, God blessed 23 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: doctors and nurses. And I have many friends who are 24 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: in both professions, and I could never do it. My 25 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: goal is to keep you from there to having to go. Oh, 26 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: as I sat there for the ten plus hours and 27 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: listened to the people in pain, God bless those of 28 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: you who are listening who are in those professions. Unbelievable, 29 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: unbelievable what you do every day. But when we have 30 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: as our primary goals for working out and exercising and 31 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: eating healthy and all the things that go in our 32 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: healthy program as weight loss being the top thing we're 33 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: thinking about, and vanity and those things are fine. Listen, 34 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: I've had those goals too, But the real thing we 35 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: want to avoid. Here's the here's the kicker. It's actually 36 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: something not happening. In other words, we're gonna judge the 37 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: success of our program if you really just break it 38 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: down to what matters to something not happening, judging the 39 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: success of your exercise and nutrition program by the absence 40 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: of something, and that's next to impossible for most people. 41 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: That's why we are where we are. It's one of 42 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: the main reasons, and a huge part of that is 43 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: human nature. A huge part of that. We forget the 44 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: pain we've experienced, and that's protective from evolution. It's good 45 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: and bad though, and it's bad in today's society. And 46 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: let me say this, I just have to throw this 47 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: out there. It was a shared room and the two 48 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: people next to us ordered fast food from uber eats, 49 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: huge quantity of super unhealthy food from uber Eats. I'm 50 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: just gonna leave it out there. It's gonna leave it 51 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: there to the e r ah. But that's what I 52 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: want you to think about, something that's never talked about. 53 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: We're not in the right way or not in a 54 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: way that people are grasping that. Once again, I have 55 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with those goals of looking better and within 56 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: that weight loss and vanity building must of course, I've 57 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: lived all that, but that's not why you stop exercising 58 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: or judge the relative success of your program on whether 59 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: or not that happens. Because you can look really good. 60 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear me say this for many decades to come. 61 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: You can be a perfect way, You're perfect weight whatever 62 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: that is there that's in air quotes, and you can 63 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: have all the muscle in the world and be in 64 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: pain and be sick, and those two things are meaningless. 65 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: I know too many people who took performance enhancing drugs 66 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: in the bodybuilding world that are no longer with us, 67 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: who pursued that vanity too far. Of course, there are 68 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: things outside of our control. You're saying, well, Tom, you know, 69 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: things happen. Of course they do. And therein lies another 70 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: huge problem with the human condition and with what is 71 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: being preached you and why I get so angry when 72 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: you are told what that you don't have control, that 73 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: it's all about genetics, and that hey, you're just gonna 74 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: you know, people are just gonna get cancer or something 75 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: like that. It's just inevitable. No, no, depending on the 76 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: statistics you look at of diseases and deaths and major issues. 77 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: Health issues are lifestyle related. And so that's the fifth 78 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: tip I want you to think about, is actually trying 79 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: to wrap your head around judging the success of your 80 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: overall program. And that's the three things I end every 81 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: show with what you put in your mouth, how much 82 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: you move, and your state of mind, your attitude. When 83 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: you start to control those three things and focus on 84 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: consistency and moderation and what we know works, the likelihood 85 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: of you going to the doctor, going to the hospital 86 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: exponentially decreased. My g P doctor retired at like guys, 87 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: she had to be in his eighties. Incredible. A couple 88 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: of years ago a new doctor. And when we went 89 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: to the hospital today, this family member also has the 90 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: same doctor. Both switched over to this person, this new doctor, 91 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: and I couldn't remember the name because I've only been twice. 92 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: I don't go that frequently. If you want to say 93 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: that's luck, I feel sorry for you. Yes, things happen, 94 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: but with that, it's about luck. View of the world. 95 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: What are you exercising and eating well for? Is it 96 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: just the vanity side? And when you focus on just 97 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: the vanity and the weight loss, that's when you do 98 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: things that aren't healthy. That's when you do things that 99 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: don't work. Long term, study after study after study is 100 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: showing us that we do have control, so much more 101 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: control than we thought even a couple of years ago, 102 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: and that the benefits of exercise, the myriad benefits are 103 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: more than we even thought with strength training, with cardiovascular exercise, 104 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: with things like meditation, and how much control we have. 105 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: And so every time you eat something healthy, every time 106 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: you engage in purposeful movement whatever you want to call 107 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: what you want to call it exercise, fine, but I 108 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: want you to do more than that. Every time you 109 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: do something positive cognitively. Yeah, as crazy as that sounds, smiling, 110 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: complimenting people, being positive, every single time you do any 111 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: of those things, know that it's going to help you. 112 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: It's going to help things not happen. Every Time you 113 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: go to bed feeling good, every time you wake up 114 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: feeling good. That success, that success, the ultimate success. So 115 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: let's try to avoid having to go to the doctor, 116 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: having to go to the hospital. Let's decrease the likelihood 117 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: of that happening. And yes, you have control, and I'm 118 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: going to continue to bring you the latest in the 119 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: science and the evolution of that science and how they're 120 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: connected to evolution itself, and then what we can do 121 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: on a behavioral level, and then we're gonna do it 122 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: focus on things not happening. As crazy as that sounds. 123 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. Again.

This is why I get 130 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: so crazed about the bad information, because it's not keeping 131 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: you at a hospital. It's not keeping you from going 132 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: to the doctor. It's not allowing you to go to 133 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: bed feeling the best you can and waking up in 134 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: the morning feeling the best you can and doing everything 135 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: you want to throughout your day pain free.
