1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland and this is Fitness Disrupted. I 3 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: missed fitness magazines. I started my career, started to make 4 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: my way into the business working with Fitness magazine, Self 5 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: and Oxygen and Fitness and Women's Health. All of the 6 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: magazines very few are around today. It makes me sad 7 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: at least print versions. They're all online, obviously, but there 8 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: was something to be said about either going to the 9 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: store and picking them up, getting them in the mail, 10 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: and it was really cool when you started to see 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: your workouts in there, as I did, and there was 12 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: really good advice. There was really good information to be 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: had in those magazines, but they had their problems. They did. 14 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: I found the advertisements often really problematic and often completely 15 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: contradictory to what the information was, especially when it was 16 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: in uh well, both male and female fitness magazines, because 17 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: they would have supplements and products that were questionable at 18 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: best questionable at best. And they also, if you are 19 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: being honest, which I always am, the bodybuilding magazines left 20 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: out that most crucial part for the young teenage boy 21 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: like I was that you weren't gonna look like those 22 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: guys in those pictures without doing some uh you know, 23 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: things that were beyond what we're in those pages. You 24 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: know where I'm going with that, and that that was 25 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: a big problem. It is a big problem for so 26 00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: many kids who look at people Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Rock 27 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: people like that and think I'm gonna look like that 28 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: by just doing those workouts and taking those protein powders. 29 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. So there were issues with the magazines, 30 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to say. But what I would 31 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: tell people is that one of the most powerful pages 32 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: often found in those magazines were what it was the 33 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: success story. That's what you could learn so much from 34 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: a real person quote unquote who achieved real results. Is 35 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: usually one page and most often was about weight loss. 36 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: And there was never a surprise. There was never I 37 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: took this product and I lost the weight. It was 38 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: that they did the work, They found the things that 39 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: worked for them, the exercise, the nutrition, they had, the 40 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: motivation they found what got them out the door, got 41 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: there behaviors to change. That is so powerful and that's 42 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: what today shows about. I'm gonna talk about four of 43 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: my top client success stories, three of which are in 44 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: my newest book, The Micro Workoff Plan, and it was 45 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: essential to me that I put those stories in so 46 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: much so that I start the book and I end 47 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: the book with them, and in between our the studies 48 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: and the workouts and the exercises and the information, but 49 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: you have to see that it's been done and you 50 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: have to see how it's been done for a lifetime. 51 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: These clients that I'm going to talk about didn't achieve 52 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: these goals for a month or two months or three months, 53 00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: years years. That's who we study. When I wanted to 54 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: be successful in fitness, in in performance and all of 55 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: the things I do, I found the people that I 56 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: respected that had achieved it, and I studied what they did. 57 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: Did I do everything that No, But those things that 58 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: were essential and are essential to success, That's what I 59 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: emulated and followed. And you are going to see patterns 60 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: with these clients. Not surprisingly. You know, how often do 61 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: I talk about the book the Blue Zones and all 62 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: the books and that go with that, because it's so powerful. 63 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: These places in the world where people live a really 64 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: long time and are super healthy for you know, their 65 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: entire lives, eighties and hundreds and beyond. What were those 66 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: researchers doing when they were circling these blue zones on 67 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: the map, when they and to study these people to 68 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: see patterns, to see what they had in common. That's powerful. Yes, 69 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: we'll look at the studies, of course, Yes, we're gonna 70 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: talk about the exercise science and the sports nutrition side. 71 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: But what you can actually do, What are you gonna 72 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: actually do? Well, you're gonna hear about people that did it, 73 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: see the patterns, figure out the buckets that you have 74 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: to pull from the cardio, the strength, the nutrition, the motivation, 75 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: and you're gonna find what works for you. But what's 76 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: most important about all of these people is that they 77 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: may change significant change. They weren't people on the internet 78 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: who have really good genetics and post pictures and say 79 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: do these exercises to look like me? No, those people 80 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: didn't do those exercises to look like they do. They 81 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: were born that way. So many of them find that 82 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: person who has made major change that you need to 83 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: make the same type of change you want to make, 84 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: and study them and start to implement certain behaviors and 85 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: scientifically based concepts so that you can do the same. 86 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: Because that's the way the world works people, that's the 87 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: way it works. And I'm gonna give you four clients, 88 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: three in the book, one extra, and you're gonna see patterns. 89 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna see similarities, and you're gonna see differences, different goals, 90 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: different outcomes. But it's the similarities and the ones that 91 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: align with your goals that we're most interested in. Quick break, 92 00:06:53,400 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: we'll be right back, Yeah, all right. The first client 93 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about it is the first chapter of 94 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: my book, The micro Workout Plan for good reason. Incredible 95 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: success story and not a weight loss one. I'll give 96 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: you those as well, because I know that is a 97 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: huge goal of so many of you, but not everyone. 98 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: Not everyone, And regardless if you implement the changes we're 99 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: gonna talk about, weight loss will come. Weight loss will 100 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: come when you move more and you eat better. Weight 101 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: loss comes. It happens even when you're not focused on it, 102 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: especially when you're not focused on it. So Bill, be 103 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: like Bill, is the chapter interesting, interesting guy, super motivated, 104 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: came to me, totally beaten up, so many surgeries, so 105 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: many injuries, more so than the vast majority of the hundreds, 106 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: if not thousands of people when you count camps and 107 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: things like that that I've done over the decades, Just 108 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: had experienced elbows, knees, surgery after surgery. Bill loves and 109 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: he's still doing it today, racket sports, tennis in the summer, 110 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: squash in the winter, play tennis in college, and just 111 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: loved it. Worked really hard, still works really hard, and 112 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: tennis is his release, his relief, his hobby, his passion. 113 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: But he kept getting hurt, He kept getting hurt, but 114 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: his desire to play was so great that he was 115 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: willing to do whatever it took to get back and 116 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: to do what he loved. And so when he came 117 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: to me, so many of these issues were still there, 118 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: the weak winks, and we put together a plan and 119 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: Bill followed and did everything he needed to do. He 120 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: started with the rehab and he now does it all 121 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: his prehab. He's now in his sixties and is beating 122 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: twenty one year old Division one tennis players. And if 123 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: you looked at his injury and surgery history, you'd say 124 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: there is no way. Bill had every reason to not 125 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: do it, to give up. And truthfully, when he first 126 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: came to me, I looked at these injuries and and 127 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: surgeries and was like, wow, this is a challenge. But 128 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: that's the most one of the most challenging and and 129 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: just fun parts of what I used to do back 130 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: when I was working with clients one on one, especially 131 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: when I had someone who I knew was going to 132 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: follow through. So the difference with Bill was he did 133 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: everything he needed to do the stuff that most people 134 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: won't do, especially men. What do I mean by that? 135 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: Pilates not five times a week, not three times a week. 136 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: Once a week. So Bill had the most perfectly balanced 137 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: plan to fix the injuries and then to continue to 138 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: be able to play as he is today, injury free 139 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: for years to come at a super high level. So 140 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: what is his plan? Well back then when I was 141 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: working with him. The only difference today, I believe is 142 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: that I'm not working with him. Was with me once 143 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: a week, totally sports specific, strength training and conditioning, tennis based, 144 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: racket sport based, and focusing on fixing those weak links 145 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: relative to what he wanted to do sports wise, So 146 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: me once a week. Then he would go to the 147 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: gym and do a routine, and he had a different 148 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: trainer who would watch him just do it, make sure 149 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: he did everything with good form, and we talked about 150 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: how crucial that is all the time. Form form form, 151 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: then pilates and I'm talking the machines, the hard stuff, 152 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: stuff most people won't do, especially men, because he needed 153 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: that flexibility and core strength and all of those benefits 154 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: of pilates. And then he works out twice a week 155 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: at home as well, different routines, so strength, two on 156 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: his own, one with me, one at the gym with 157 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: a trainer, and pilates. Weight loss was not his goal. 158 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: It was to do and enjoy the things he wanted 159 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: to do. And that's what I loved about him is 160 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: that it's not always about weight loss. And many of you, 161 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: if you follow the advice, will get to the point 162 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: where it no longer becomes about weight loss. And that's 163 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: when I want you to be injury free and doing 164 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: everything you want to do for the rest of your 165 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: life at whatever level you want to do it. And 166 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: when I say he is performing at a high level, 167 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: it is ridiculous how well he performs given his age, 168 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: although I truly believe ages in number, but most people don't. 169 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: But he did the work and he continues to do 170 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: the work. And let me leave you with one final thing. 171 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: He gets up early. That is a common theme with 172 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: so many, not everyone, but the vast majority of my clients, 173 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: The vast majority of people who are successful are busy. 174 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: It's not about time. The more time you have, the 175 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: less likely you are to do this stuff. And we 176 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: all know that's true, all right. So starting off with Bill, 177 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: and again, if you want to know more about that 178 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: story written in my book, The Micro Workout Plan, let's 179 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: go to Susan. Again, these names have all been changed. 180 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: So Susan, similar to Bill in that super busy super 181 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: busy she was and is the head of a multi 182 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: millionaire company, could not be busier. And she came to 183 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: me with three main goals to increase her energy, to 184 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: decrease her stress, and yes, to lose some weight. But 185 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: she knew how valuable exercise would be and how necessary 186 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: it was to do what she needed to do to 187 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: keep up the hours. And they don't want to give 188 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: too much information because again, protect the anonymity of my clients. 189 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: But she knew that exercise was an integral part of 190 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: her success going forward, because even though the business was 191 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: super successful, she knew it needed to be. She wanted 192 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: it to be even more successful and knew that she 193 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: needed that extra energy and stress reduction to do that. 194 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: And again weight loss was part of it too. She 195 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: wanted to lose weight, so had kids, young kids at 196 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: the time, crazy job and crazy home life. And here's 197 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: where I will give away a little because I've discussed 198 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: it with her and it's part of the story. You know. 199 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: She had a difficult relationship the husband with her significant 200 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: other at the time. So we started early and she, 201 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: unlike Bill, what's going to go five days a week? Now, 202 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,359 Speaker 1: I know most of you people, you know, A that's expensive, 203 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: and B you don't need to do that with a trainer, especially, 204 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: But if you're like Bill, you do it on your own. 205 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: You have that motivation, or you might be like Susan. 206 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: And we started five days a week, which is rare, 207 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: by the way, even you know, back in the day, 208 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: five am, pitch dark, and we were out running and 209 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: walking to start, and then we added the weights in, 210 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: and then we put in a home gym. But I 211 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: brought up her significant other because we also started doing 212 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: local races. I encouraged her. She wanted to, you know, 213 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: have some goals, and so we started with five k's 214 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: and ten k's and she was kind of a run walker, 215 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: not a fast runner by any stretch of the imagination 216 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: and at one point after a ten k race and 217 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: I would run these with her occasionally, I said to her, 218 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, she talked about potentially doing something crazy like 219 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: a marathon. I said, you could totally do it, and 220 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: her significant other said at the finish line, she'll never 221 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: do it. Well, she ran six I ran ever with her, 222 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: and she's no longer with that significant other, and her 223 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: business is thriving. So her goals energy increased, stress, decrease weight, loll. 224 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: She achieved them all. And yes, we started out five 225 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: days a week. She wanted that focus. She knew she 226 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: needed accountability and she could afford it, obviously, but she 227 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: still had to get up and this was before work, obviously, 228 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: And her ultimate goal was to golf. She loves golf 229 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: and she's doing it so to be injury free. She 230 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: had issues, as most people do. It didn't mention that, 231 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: but almost goes without saying. But that was a goal 232 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: as well, to be healthy enough to do what she 233 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: wanted to do when she wanted to do it in 234 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: her free time, and that was golf. So exceeded expect 235 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: Paitians with the marathons, and I actually ran into her 236 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: recently hadn't seen her in quite a while, and she's 237 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: like so done with that. Actually, couldn't believe that she 238 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: had done it. She she said, again, exceeded expectations. But 239 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: she was consistent. She showed up. There was no canceling 240 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: unless there was the most extreme reason. And she was 241 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: super successful and still is to this day. And as 242 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: I said at the beginning of the show, weight loss 243 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: became a side note. It was not the focus, and 244 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: it happened. Of course it's going to happen. She was 245 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: moving more and during those workouts, by the way, when 246 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: we would walk and run and do things like that, 247 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: we're talking, she's talking, and I'm giving her the information 248 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: she's asking for. And so the eating habits improved all 249 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: of those things. That snowball effect, that systems theory I 250 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: talk about that is not discussed enough. So starting with 251 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: Bill and Susan, totally different. What did they have in common? 252 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: Got up early? No excuses, haven't said that for both 253 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: of them. None. Bill had every excuse, every excuse and 254 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: Susan busy. We know, you have to be honest with 255 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: yourself and look back and say, when I'm the busiest, 256 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: am I not the most productive? And when I have 257 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: so much time on my hands, then you can afford 258 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: to screw around. When you can't afford an extra minute, 259 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: that's when things get done. That's when things get done. 260 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: All right, final break. When we come back, I let's 261 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: talk about John. I'm gonna talk about Kelly. Will be 262 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: back alright, talking about four of my top client success stories, 263 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: different but similar, male, female, all over the spectrum and 264 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: in the decades I was a personal trainer, Suddle worked 265 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: with it all. Could do a hundred of these shows, 266 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: but I want to give you four of the ones 267 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: that just connect and resonate and should inspire you and 268 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: give you even more actionable information to use to figure out, 269 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: as I said at the beginning, what works for you 270 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: and what works for many. Let's talk about John. Next 271 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: to Bill. John is up there with just one of 272 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: the most successful clients when it came to not only 273 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: achieving his goals but far exceeding them. So John, if 274 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: anyone has listened to my podcast the Quick Fit Tips Story, 275 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: I think it was trained by Tom. This is the story. 276 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: This is the quiet rather And if you haven't heard 277 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: that one and won a little quick laugh Trained by Tom, 278 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: that's t a w m Yes, I went to school 279 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: in Boston. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Listen 280 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: to that show. But for those of you who don't know, 281 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: and I didn't go into great detail in that podcast 282 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: about John, John incredible person. Came to me wife as 283 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: his fiftieth birthday present. One of his fiftieth birthday presents, 284 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: gave him personal training sessions with me, and John was, 285 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: like so many of you who are listening on medication, 286 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: wasn't really working out, had devoted a significant amount of 287 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: time to his business, was actually an entrepreneur, had you know, 288 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: worked for several companies, then gone off on his own, 289 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: super busy again and turn fifty and said, you know what, 290 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: I got some health issues. I got aches, I got pains. Uh. 291 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: He would have loved to run, he said to me 292 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: when we sat down for the initial consultation. That was 293 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: one of his goals, just to be able to run. 294 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: He couldn't do it. I couldn't go out for a run. 295 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: And it's seen, you know, friends of his, and you 296 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: know it was in a community that that that was 297 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: done by many of his friends and peers, and I 298 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: just wanted to be able to do that. If he 299 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: wanted to so get off meds, yes, lose some weight, 300 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: fix those aches and pains, you know, lower back, common issues, 301 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: and ideally be able to go out for a couple 302 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: of mile run on a beautiful day. And we started 303 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: working out three days a week I think it was 304 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: at the start, and we did a mix of everything, 305 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: and we walked and we ran, and this is one 306 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: of those walk run stories that truly amazing. We would 307 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: run for thirty seconds to sixty seconds because that was 308 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: all we could really do. That's all he could really do, 309 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: and then we'd walk for a couple of minutes, and 310 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: then we'd run for thirty seconds or so, and then 311 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: we'd walk and we continue that that was our cardio, 312 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: and then we would do strength at home with him 313 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: out of the house. Dumb Bell's body weight, nothing fancy, 314 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: no equipment that was you know, other than bands and 315 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: and waits at the start, and over time he got 316 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: stronger and he could run farther. Suddenly thirty seconds turned 317 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: into two minutes, and three minutes and five minutes. I 318 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: just want to fast forward through this because he went 319 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: through every running related issue I t band issue, runners, knee, 320 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: all of those things that come and go and that 321 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: you deal with immediately and figure out the ideology of 322 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: And it's complicated, but it can be done. And fast 323 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: forward to not only did he achieve the ability to 324 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: run extended periods of time, not three miles, he became 325 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: a marathoner in his fifties, not only a marathon or 326 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: a Boston Marathon qualifier. And then we started doing bike workouts, 327 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: and he loved to bike. And today he has biked 328 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: all over the world. Not only has he done it, 329 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: but his wife has joined him as well, and his 330 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: kids have gotten involved with his workouts and his events. 331 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: So he went from being on medication to having aches 332 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: and pains, to not being able to run more than 333 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: a minute or so without stopping, to becoming a marathon 334 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: or a Boston Marathon qualifier, someone who has biked hundreds 335 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: of miles. He does the bike tours all over the world, 336 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: bikes across country, got off a bunch of those meds 337 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: and lost weight. He got up early too, not every 338 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: time we would mix it up. Sometimes it was after 339 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: work for him, but he gave it time. He showed up. 340 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: He set goals and he achieved them, and then he 341 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: far far exceeded them. Alright, final story, and I feel 342 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: like I should be doing way more as far as 343 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: these stories go. There's so much more to them. But 344 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: I want to give you the the overall gist of 345 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: it and the commonalities and just the inspiration. And I 346 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: know that many of you are listening saying I don't 347 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: have the remote is or two running marathon and you 348 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: don't have to. And my final quin is not someone 349 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: who did, so I saved her to the end and 350 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: threw her in here as well. My point is hope, 351 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: which is taken away so often in the discussion about 352 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: exercising nutrition, that you can't lose weight, that you can't 353 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: achieve your goals, that you have to be in pain. 354 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: Final client, Kelly, six kids and one of the worst 355 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: knees I've ever seen in my life. The X ray 356 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: with the number of pins and the number of surgeries 357 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: in this one knee, it was truly remarkable. And she 358 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: just wanted to get through the pain. She wanted to 359 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: be pain free. She had six kids, young kids. You know, 360 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't a CEO. I wanted to lose weight. Most 361 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: people do. Uh. You know, Bill, the only client in 362 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: this discussion, and you know rare you know, when you 363 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: work with many different types of people, not everyone wants 364 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: to lose weight, although it's becoming obviously more and more 365 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: of an issue with so many more people. But yeah, 366 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: Kelly busy mom, ridiculously busy mom, and a really painful 367 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: need which was preventing her from doing the exercise and 368 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: doing her activities of daily living that she wanted to do. 369 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: And she was gaining weight as a result as well. 370 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: And she wasn't someone who was going to work out 371 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: in the morning, and that's important. Not all of you 372 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: have to get up early to work out, but the 373 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: studies are pretty strong, and all of you know that 374 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: the longer you wait in the day, the more things 375 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: that can get in the way, kids in school, and 376 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: work and and friends and things. So that is one 377 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: of the commonalities of many people. But Kelly couldn't do that. 378 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: So I would see her after her kids had gone 379 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: to school, and we strengthened and we walked, and we 380 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: used hills, as I've talked about listen to my podcast 381 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: why you Should Use Hills in your workout by everyone 382 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: should run or walk hills, and Kelly was one of them. 383 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: And she gave a time and we did the work, 384 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: and she took her focus off of the weight loss, 385 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: and she just showed up. And she ended up doing 386 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: some sprint triathlons and biking as well, and doing many 387 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: other things. After she had achieved all her goals. She 388 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: lost the weight and she most importantly strengthened that knee. 389 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: And I bring this point up because so many of 390 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: you have knee issues, so many have shoulders and hips. 391 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: And again, if you saw her x ray and the 392 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: number of pins and and just the trauma that had 393 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: happened to her knee through life and surgery, you'd say 394 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: there's no way. But these were the clients I love 395 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: the most as far as the challenge that was posed 396 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: on me. And I would say to all these clients, 397 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: just show up or just don't cancel and give it time. 398 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: And every single one of them achieved and exceeded their 399 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: goals weight loss, stress reduction, increased energy, improved quality of 400 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: life all of them, and all of them exceeded it. 401 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: And that's why when I say to you, I want 402 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: you to set goals, you also have to be open 403 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: to things you can't even imagine that are gonna come 404 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: from your good habits. And so let me wrap it 405 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: all up. All of them found fun recreational activities too. 406 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: You didn't hear a lot of going to the gym 407 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: and diets none. You know, Bill goes to the gym 408 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: one day per week and does the rest at home. 409 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: He mixes it up. He wants that variation and he 410 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: needs it. Variation is crucial to his success and to 411 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: everyone's success, and different variation depending on your goals. All 412 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: of these people are busy. It's not an excuse. Stop 413 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: saying you don't have time. COVID taught us anything and 414 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: many things. It's time is not the issue because suddenly 415 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: we all had time and you still had the COVID 416 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: nineteen putting on the nineteen pounds or whatever it is. 417 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: It's not about time. Many of these clients got up early. 418 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: Do you have to know, But it's one of the 419 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: sure fire ways to make sure you get those workouts in. 420 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: They were consistent. They didn't have excuses. They got that 421 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: right out. There was nothing that was in their minds 422 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: that said they couldn't do it, and partially was because 423 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: I told them that, but they had to believe it. 424 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: You know. I start the micro workout plan by saying, 425 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: if you don't believe you have the capacity to change, 426 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: then you can stop reading the book. That's what gets 427 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: me the angriest about the fat diets and the bad 428 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: exercise plans. That it's not your fault that you didn't 429 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: achieve your goals. The recipe was incorrect, the instructions were wrong. 430 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: You can't get to your destination if the directions aren't 431 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: going to get you there. And so all of these 432 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: seemingly simplistic commonalities I'm bringing up this is what will 433 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: get you to your results. Giving a time, setting those goals, 434 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: being consistent one of the most important things. Just show 435 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: up having no excuses and believing that you have the 436 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: capacity to change. And then finally you go, well, Tom, 437 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: you worked with these people. I don't have a trainer. 438 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: I don't have that person. You don't need it. Follow 439 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: the advice. Yes, if you need that partner, find that 440 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: training partner, find that group, your spouse, your friends. You 441 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: can go to you know, a class, Bill, as I said, 442 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: goes to that pilates class. So find accountability where you 443 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: need it. But know that we are living in a 444 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: time where you have access to everything you need from 445 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: where you are right now. You have a phone in 446 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: your hand, you have a home, you have a home gym, 447 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: and so four clients, no fat diets, no supplements, no 448 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: excessive training, no crazy workouts. Yet they did marathons, bikes 449 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,959 Speaker 1: cross country, so had the capacity to do whatever they 450 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: wanted to do. Even though when I started with that 451 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: client who now bikes across the country or has pikes 452 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: across the country and by the way, gone to Europe 453 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: and done experience so many things that literally opened up 454 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: the world to him and his wife and his kids. 455 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: And that's the be open to things that you couldn't 456 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: even expect. If I sat down with him on that 457 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: fiftieth birthday a couple of weeks after and said to him, 458 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: not only am I gonna get you to be able 459 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: to run more than you know, three miles without stopping 460 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: and feel comfortable, I'm gonna make you a marathon, or 461 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna become a Boston Marathon qualifier. You're gonna bike 462 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: cross country. He would have said, you're out of your mind. 463 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: And I didn't create that marathon. That's was who he was. 464 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: I just brought it out. I helped to bring it 465 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: out of him. And had so many experiences like that 466 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: with women, especially because back when I was training clients 467 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: that age group of women. They came from the time 468 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: when it wasn't okay to do sports. And so the 469 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: number of clients female that I worked with who found 470 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: out that they were phenomenal athletes or just way better 471 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: than they thought they were because it wasn't okay, and 472 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: so it wasn't me per se by any stretch. It 473 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: was I'd just help facilitate that. I help them believe it. 474 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: I gave them the instructions to follow. They needed to 475 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: believe that, follow and trust the plan, and then they 476 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: did it.
