Everything 46 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: that fitness disrupted us about excessive moderation, and the same 47 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: thing with Dr Stewart. Okay, she is incredible at just 48 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: doing a lot of things, and I want you to 49 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: google her, go to her Instagram page and stuff. She'll 50 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: give that out because she doesn't look like you would 51 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: think and you go, what does that mean. It's just 52 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: trust me. You know, she's someone who waits to hear 53 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: the sports she did, and she just doesn't look like 54 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: that type. And I know those are stereotypes, but that's 55 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. She, you know, is going to 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: talk about most likely Olympic weightlifting and things like that, 57 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: and they're generally body types that go for that. She 58 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: doesn't look it. And it's just my point is that 59 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: she goes outside her comfort zone and she does it 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: in a healthy way, and it's just amazing what you 61 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: can do if you put your mind to it. I 62 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: read that she was the time trial champion or is 63 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: the timetile champion. She's gonna tell your story. She did 64 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: that kind of on a whim, so I don't want 65 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: to continue on. I want to bring her in when 66 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: we come back from the break again. This is someone 67 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: who hopefully will inspire you.

It's not hard, 80 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: it's challenging, but you can do it. And then I 81 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: want her to teach you and show you that getting 82 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: outside the comfort zone is it's it's a good thing 83 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: and that's where change happens. And playing it safe, that's 84 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: not where true living lies.

Amazing, right, 118 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: and he did that one way, right, And so Dr 119 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: Stewart's here, She's going to talk about her collegiate sports 120 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: and what she does today because she's got two young kids, 121 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: she's got two businesses, she's doing triathlons, she's getting up early, 122 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: and you don't have to do everything she does. But 123 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: you're gonna learn from her and learn different ways to 124 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: do it, because there is no one way to do it. 125 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: So let's start, like way back. What were the sports 126 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: you were playing growing up? You were an athlete obviously 127 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: for you know, forever. So I started running at age 128 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: seven in our local town track and field events. We had, 129 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, the hundred yard dash, we had long jump, 130 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: So I started running track that early. I had horses 131 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: growing up. So I started riding at age four, and 132 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: I competed all through high school in barrel racing, pole bending, 133 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: show jumping. Wait, what's what's barrel? That doesn't sound like 134 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: anything to do with horses. It is so rodeo riding. 135 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: So I know you didn't know that one so rodeo events. 136 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: Where did you grow up? I grew up in the 137 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,559 Speaker 1: Hudson Valley from so I also did show jumping team 138 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: penning with cattle. So I grew up with two horses 139 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: and riding pretty much every day in my life. What 140 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: is what is team penning? Team penning is moving cows 141 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: into a pen, and that's an event. It is an event. Yes, 142 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: that was how we see active in the winter. So okay, 143 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: I did not know that. I thought I knew just 144 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: about every thing. I'm still getting to the Stewart, but 145 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: this is that amazing. And wait, back up, who was 146 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: the barrel? And then the barrel racing and pole bending? 147 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: There timed events in Western horseback riding and showing, so 148 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: they're all timed. What do you do do You run 149 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: around barrels, you run around poles and you have to 150 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: google it and look on YouTube. Yes, homework is to 151 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: look that up. So is it just it's it's riding 152 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: the horse around those things timed events as fast you 153 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: can go. So I did that. I played field hockey 154 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: for eight years. I was a varsity fields hockey player 155 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: for four years. I also did gymnastics for thirteen years, 156 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 1: and I ran track my whole life. So I was 157 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: in high school, I did triple jump, long jump, shot 158 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: put hurdles, and pentathlon. Athletic family parents like, no, I 159 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: don't know where I came from now, No, Yeah, I 160 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: just am an anomaly. So I just kind of took 161 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: to it very early on. And competitive by nature, very 162 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: hard working, goal setting and just really love being active 163 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: and continue to love being active and just always was 164 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: happiest when I was outside and working hard. Yeah, brothers 165 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: and sisters doing that. Only child only to wow, So 166 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: just talk about nature nurture. This is like all it's 167 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: just me. It's me and just you know, I think 168 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: I just really thrive on competition and thrive on on 169 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: working hard. And I also in high school was a powerlifter, 170 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: So I did powerlifting my junior and senior year of 171 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: high school. So I competed at that as well. See 172 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: now this is a podcast, so you can't see, but 173 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: I go to my Instagram page, you will see, you know, 174 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: a picture of doctor Stewart. She's not your typical and 175 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: that's what I love, and I want to talk about 176 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: that too. We'll talk about, you know, the women in 177 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: the fear of bulk and lifting weights. I actually, in 178 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: full disclosure to I know Dr Stewart's husband, who is 179 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: a phenomenal triathlete. So like I frustrated because because he's 180 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: he's skinny, strong, he's like he's one of these guys. 181 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: And so we actually at the same gym. And when 182 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: my kids are practicing hockey. I've talked about this on 183 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: the podcast, that's when I go to the gym. I'm 184 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: doing a lot of the workouts at home. But what 185 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: I love. One of the things I love about her 186 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: husband is he is lifting heavy, heavier weights than I am, 187 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: and he's a hard gainer. So but he's a phenomenal 188 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: athlete triathlete at both distances, which is so rare, like 189 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: short course long course. But he's lifting weights and showing. 190 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's a topic for a whole another show, 191 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: and I'll have him in to talk about it, because 192 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, should triathletes lift weight? Should runners lift weights? 193 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: And again, Dr Stewart is not your typical you know, 194 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: the person you see with the CrossFit body. You're tall, 195 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: first of all, and that's not really great for powerlifting, right. 196 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: The levers are are too long, that's harder. You know, 197 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: generally the people who squat a lot of weight or 198 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: bench press are my height. So um so, so you're 199 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: doing all that powerlifting in high school. So I started 200 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: power lifting my junior year to get stronger for track, 201 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: so I was primarily field events. I was mostly triple jump, 202 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: long jump, and shot put. So my physics teacher in 203 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: high school was also the football coach, and he said, 204 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you want to get stronger and fitter, 205 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: we need to get you in the weight room and 206 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: I had lifted a little bit in high school in 207 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: gym class, but never really learned proper mechanics or proper form. 208 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: So I spent a lot of time lifting with him 209 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: and the football team, learning proper form for squat, deadlift 210 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: and bench pruss. But I was tall, so and I 211 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: was I'm not a small person. I'm tall and strong, 212 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: so I was in kind of one of the middle 213 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: weight classes, so I lifted against some of the strongest 214 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: boys that were out there. Also in football, so I 215 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: competed in UM one of our large weightlifting competitions. I 216 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: was the only female. Was not the female only, No, 217 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: there were no females. I was the only female with 218 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: I think I was in high school. I think there 219 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: were four hundred boys and me, and that it was 220 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: what the fact that you're doing that, so, you know, 221 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: going outside your comfort zone, taking those risks. I used 222 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: to love when I was a trainer in New York City. 223 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: You know, generally you have like you know, the freeweight 224 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: area and then the machines and it's it's changed now, 225 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: but back then, especially the women were not going in 226 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: the front areas. So one of my favorite things to 227 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: get that woman not only strong physically, but mentally to 228 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: say and to think and know that she could go 229 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: in that area whenever she wanted to do the exercises 230 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: with the right form. And I used to say them 231 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: after we learned the right proper form for everything, I'd say, 232 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, if a guy ever comes up to you 233 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: and tries to correct your form, he's hitting on you. 234 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: As I always was very proud that I learned early 235 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: on to lift with proper form, and that helped me 236 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: in college running Division one track. We had a great 237 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: lifting program as well. And you know, my first couple 238 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: of weeks of school, I you know, I introduced myself 239 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: to our our lifting coach and said, you know, I 240 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: want to be down here on the floor, not up exactly, 241 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: not up, you know, with the with the machines, like 242 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: I can do this and teach me to be stronger 243 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: and fitter. And now that I'm competing against Division one athletes, 244 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: I really have to work hard. So I lifted again 245 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: with all the men and really learned a lot more 246 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: there and just continue to learn and get stronger. Where 247 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: you so, where did the confidence come from? I don't know, 248 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: you know, I just think it's so much fun and 249 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: it's so motivating to see how much you can do 250 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: and to really take a challenge on and say, you know, 251 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way I can lift that, 252 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: and I still do that. You know, I continue to lift, 253 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: and I have a great trainer that I work out 254 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: with here in Westport, Matt McDonald, who also went to Marist. 255 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,479 Speaker 1: I work out with him at m Train in Westport, 256 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: and you know, he continues to challenge me and some 257 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: of the things that he has me do that I 258 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: think there's no way I can do it. But I'm 259 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: almost forty, and it's amazing to to keep improving. I 260 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: think I'm in the best shape I've ever been, in 261 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: the strongest and fittest and leanness that I've ever been 262 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: in my whole life. And you know, and I've been 263 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: an athlete my whole life, so to get here and 264 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: to continue to improve has just been amazing. And that's incredible. 265 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: And that's again the fact that as we get older, 266 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: you know, you can be fitter, and so many because 267 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: we're not doing in our twenties. Most people are you were, 268 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, but you know, that's an amazing and and 269 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, hopeful thing for people is they're like especially 270 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: the people I love, you know, Jen, who like haven't 271 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: done anything and they're like fifty, I'm like, oh my god, 272 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: Like you could literally change your life in a week, 273 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: like feeling strong. Now, I have to say I I'm 274 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: super scared of the heavyweights. So for those things like, yeah, 275 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, she's much tougher than I am when it 276 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: comes to the weight room. But that's the thing everybody 277 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: there's You're gonna find what you like, right And so 278 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: when people say to me they don't like exercise, I'm like, 279 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: you just haven't found what you like to do. Because 280 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: it feels good now lifting super heavy weights to men 281 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: feel you know, doing you know, really hard sprints not good. 282 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: But I do both because I know that it's good 283 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: for me. Right. But you're gonna find your thing. And 284 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: that's another reason I wanted a doctor Stewart on the show, 285 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: is to tell you that your thing can be so many. 286 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: I mean, who would have thought riding horses to power? Again, 287 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: you gotta take a look, like, you know, stereotypes exist 288 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: for a reason. She not, and I keep, you know, 289 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: And then I mean in high school and in college, 290 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: I think the farthest I ever ran was probably an 291 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: eight hundred. And you know, for me, now, I've done 292 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: a marathon, I've done two half Iron Man's UM, I've 293 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: done a number of trail races, probably twelve half marathons. 294 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: So you know, I feel like I'm constantly reinventing myself 295 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: and figuring out what's next and what can I do 296 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: and then saying no, I'm going to figure out why 297 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: I do that. And when I moved here in two 298 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: thousand and eight to join my current practice, I watched 299 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: some friends do a sprint triathlon and said, you know, 300 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be my next goal. I've 301 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: never ridden I mean, I've ridden a bike, but I've 302 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: never ridden a road bike. I don't know that I 303 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: could run three miles, but I think I can somehow. 304 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: And I think I know how to swim, but I've 305 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: never really swim a lap in a pool. So I 306 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: sure enough went and signed up for the race the 307 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: next year and figured out a way to get out there, 308 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: and I was scared to death. Joined a local triathlon 309 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: club and you know, took some swim lessons, got a 310 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: road bike, figured out how to shift gears and kind 311 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: of figure out how to stay upright and just push 312 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: myself to run farther than I've ever run. And that 313 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: was in two thousand nine, was my first triathlon, and 314 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: ten years later, eleven years later, still out there. And 315 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine, you know, the first race that I did, 316 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to die in the swim 317 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: and the panic sets in in the open water swim, 318 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: but I somehow pushed through, and I was terrified the 319 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: whole race and crossed the finish line and signed up 320 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: for half iron Man. So, um, you know, iron Man 321 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: is still out there one day, not quite yet, but 322 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: that's so funny. You never know It'll one one year. 323 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: You know. It's nothing I've done yet, but I have 324 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: a feeling sometime in the next couple of decades I'll 325 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: get out there too. Self efficacy is just the single 326 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: greatest thing when it comes to challenging yourself, and so 327 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: for so many of you who don't think you can 328 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: do something, I was the same way. By the way, 329 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: my first triathlon, Central Park Triathlon, I didn't own a bike. 330 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: I could not swim one lap of the pool, and 331 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: if you've read my triathlon book, my first one the 332 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: swim was six laps of the pool in a pool 333 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: in Central Park right at Harlem And luckily I swam 334 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: one lap and I was done. I had nothing left 335 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: and I stepped down, and I realized the pool was 336 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: four ft deep the entire way across. And look at 337 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: the guy next to me who's adjusting his goggles and walking. 338 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: So I pretended that like my goggles. I kept adjusting. 339 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: So I ran the entire swim all right, and then 340 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: iron Man's later. But what what Dr Stewart's talking about 341 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: is when you take a challenge on that that scares you. 342 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: And I love that quote. Right, if your goal doesn't 343 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: scare you, it's not big enough. When you've finished that, 344 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: when you achieve it, it opens up the world to you. Right, 345 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: And we haven't even gotten in, so, you know, Dr Stewart, 346 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: let's talk about your doctor parts. So we're talking about 347 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: the physical, but the connection between achieving your fitness goals 348 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: and then you know, translates over into everywhere, including your business. 349 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: So tell people you know the two different things you're 350 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: doing right now with the business side. I moved to 351 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: connect it in two thousand eight to join my current practice, 352 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: Norwalkaye Care. We're now a four doctor large location where 353 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: I'm a partner. I've been there. This is my twelfth 354 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: year of seeing patients there. In two thousand and fifteen, 355 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: my husband and I started Performance, which is one of 356 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: the only probably now there's a few of more, but 357 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: at the time we were probably one of the only 358 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: standalone sports and performance vision training centers in the country. 359 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: So we work with athletes to improve eye hand coordination, reaction, timing, anticipation, 360 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: decision making, overall athletic performance. So a little bit different 361 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: than any of the training that's available to athletes. We 362 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: go above and beyond strength and conditioning and sleep and nutrition. 363 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: It's kind of the last frontier of training that's not 364 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: really tapped into. That's so cool and again so full 365 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: time you know, optometrist. Then on the side, on the side, 366 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: it's not really on the side that it's not really 367 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: a side hustle. It's another hustle and two kids and 368 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: two kids and husband that competes a lot in traathlons, 369 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: and then I'm competing usually something throughout the year. Last 370 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: year was a quiet year for me. I did two 371 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: trail races and I did a time trial by race 372 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: that was my next for a another like that to me, 373 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: and I've never done one. I will at some point, 374 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: I'll try, but that, like talk about pain, it was 375 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: the most painful thing I've ever done. Idea what I 376 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: was doing, But you know it's something a patient of 377 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: mine for you know, the last decade has been trying 378 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: to get me out there into a cycling race. I said, 379 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to do any quit racing, 380 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: and I'm a little scared of that, but I said, 381 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: you know you're ready. You're right, I'm ready. Let's do 382 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: I'll do a time trial. So signed up for one 383 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: in Rhode Island, the New England Time Trial Championships and 384 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: caravan my family up there and didn't really know what 385 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: to expect, just figured I would go as hard as 386 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: I could for twenty k and that's exactly what I did. 387 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: And yes it was very painful, but again not something 388 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: you enjoy while you're doing it, and the whole time 389 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: thinking why am I out here? There's a lot better 390 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: ways to spend a beautiful summer day. But you know, 391 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: the minute I crossed the finish line again, feeling very 392 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: accomplished and and just excited to do something else. And 393 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: it's been a great lesson for my kids too. You know, 394 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: with my kids seeing us try a million different things, 395 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: and you know, especially my son is seven, so he's 396 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: trying to figure out sports and we're you know, kind 397 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: of exposing him to different things and it's intimidating. And 398 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: I said, you know, do you think I was scared 399 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: when you came up to that race with me? And 400 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: he said no, I said, absolutely, I was terrified. You know, 401 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: I've never done this. I didn't really know what to expect. 402 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was doing, but I brought 403 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: myself out there. I got up there, towed the line 404 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: and went as hard as I could and finished and 405 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: did as well as I could expect, and you know, 406 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: it really felt accomplished. So he remembers that and he 407 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: brings that up to and he said, yeah, you know, 408 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: I'll try something just like you tried that bike race. 409 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,239 Speaker 1: So I think for us competing, not only is it 410 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: great for us mentally and physically, but I think it 411 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: gives our boys something to look up to. And you know, 412 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: they've grown up with us racing, so it's been it's 413 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: our lifestyle. Working out is not optional for us. It's 414 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: something we do every day and it's part of how 415 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: our family operates, So I think that gives them really 416 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: good ways to look and see all the hard work 417 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: that goes into it. We work very hard, both athletically 418 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: and professionally. But I hope that I'm you know, giving 419 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: my son's good role models both as a parent, as 420 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: a woman, as a business owner, and as an athlete. 421 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: So I love that. And if you've noticed, we haven't 422 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: talked about weight loss, and I love that. And whenever 423 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: I say that, I always preface it saying, of course, 424 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: we want to be a healthy weight. And yes, that's 425 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: a goal of people, that is to lose weight and stuff, 426 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: but that is not the be all end all. That's 427 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: not how you judge your fitness program. It's not And 428 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: I love that you brought that up. And that's again 429 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: why I wanted to have you on because I'm gonna say, 430 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: I have two boys as well, and they are my why, 431 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, And that's and before it was vanity and 432 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: it was my business, and you know, obviously it's my career. 433 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: But what Dr Stewart just said, like that is exactly 434 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: what motivates me. Everything, the eating, the how I react 435 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: to you know, if someone cuts me off in the car. 436 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: It's all connected, right, And when people talk about you know, 437 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: we'll be sitting kids and nutrition and we got to 438 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: teach them, you know, yes, but it starts at home, okay, right, 439 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: and where the we're the our kids want to be 440 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: like us. You know, they're not going to eat. I 441 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: tell the story all the time Jen that, like, you know, 442 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: I used to have my son on my lap and 443 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: I'd be eating, you know, peeling my hard boiled eggs. 444 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: And like the thirtieth time he's sitting and he's probably 445 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: two at the time, he said, can I have some? 446 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: You know? And I love that you said that. And 447 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: it's about being that role on so exercise and challenging 448 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: ourselves and and pushing our limits. It's for a bunch 449 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: of different things. And you know, they've grown up watching 450 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: us work out in the morning. My younger son sometimes 451 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: gets up with me at five o'clock in the morning, 452 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: and but he sits down and watches TV while I'm 453 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,959 Speaker 1: biking or if I'm lifting, he's watching. And they're always watching. 454 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: And they really have grown up watching us work out, 455 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: so they're used to it. They wake up and say, oh, 456 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: are you lifting today? Are you running? Are you biking? 457 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: Are you going to matts. So there they expect it 458 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: and they know so it's just part of our daily routine, right, 459 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: and they're exactly the kids know what they know and 460 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: they don't know what they don't know. Right, Wait a minute, though, 461 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: it's not like the Peloton commercial gem where like you 462 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: get up and like you're in in the forest with 463 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: the lasting and everyone's sleep. Because that's why it's not 464 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: not real life. My son was home last week with 465 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: the flu and I biked and watched Toy Story three. 466 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: So that's a great commercial. That's the real one. That's 467 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: real life. So but but you know, they're used to 468 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: it and they enjoy it. They ask if when they 469 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: can lift weights. You know, they watch them and I 470 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: can hear them while I'm lifting. Sometimes I hear them, 471 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, mimicking and doing their own workout. So they've 472 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: grown up watching triathlons. I mean, my old their son 473 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: was eight months old when we went to Kona for 474 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: the World Championship, so that was his first flight, was 475 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: going to Yeah, I mean it's pretty awesome and amazing. 476 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: And you know, I said, he here, I am pushing 477 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: him on the Queen Kay Highway and a stroller and 478 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: but that's been their whole life. And they're used to 479 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: watching races. You know, whenever we go, people always remark 480 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: of how well behaved they are at races, and they said, 481 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: they're so used to it, and they love it. They 482 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: love watching. You know. I hope one day that they 483 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: get out there. But there's no pressure. But you know, 484 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: I think they just see that we're very active and 485 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't just stop in the morning when we're done 486 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: working out. We hike, we go to the beach a lot. 487 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: They've started riding a little bit. Um. My mother in 488 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: law has horses, so they've been starting to ride. They 489 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: play soccer, they swim. We're just an active family. But 490 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: there's no talk of weight loss in our house. There's 491 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: really no talk of nutrition. We eat well, we eat 492 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: a balanced diet, everything in moderation. But they see how 493 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: we act and that's they grow up the same way. 494 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: It's not about deprivation. It's you know, I tell people, 495 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: don't focus on what you can't have. There's so many 496 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: really good options that you can, right, and that's unfortunate 497 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: that people want to make it more complicated than it is, right, 498 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: and that sells books, right and all that kind of stuff. 499 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: But you know that's exactly what more people have to 500 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: do is just look at it that way and it's 501 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: all connected in that just kind of amazingly unique way. 502 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: So and let's talk about so you're super busy. You 503 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: already talked about, you know, working at home, you got 504 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: your trainers, so you're doing a little of everything right, 505 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: And as you said, it's it's more about being active. 506 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: And you know, I always say people, if you want 507 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: to go to the gym five times a week, that's awesome, 508 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: but true health and fitness comes from what you do 509 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: outside that, right, and just being active. So what's your 510 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: advice to people who you know, the mother out there 511 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,479 Speaker 1: who you know is just trying to figure out how 512 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: to do it, how to do it all? Like anything, 513 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: it has to be scheduled. So you know, I think 514 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: for me, I'm a morning person. I work out better 515 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: in the morning. If I don't do it first thing, 516 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: it's very challenging. I used to work out in the 517 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: evening before I had kids. But for me, I think 518 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: setting aside a time that is non negotiable. You know, 519 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: at five o'clock, I'm working out, no matter who's awake 520 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: or what has to be done. I get it done first, 521 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: and then I feel better. My day is much smoother, 522 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm a better person. So I think scheduling it in 523 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: is so key, and you know, you hear that all 524 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: the time, but it really works. And in our house, 525 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: you know that workouts kind of come first in the 526 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: morning and that's what we do and I don't miss 527 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: a workout ever. So I think making the time and 528 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: just figuring out what you like to do. And I 529 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: think every year, the big joke still going on even 530 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: though it's the end of January, is what's going to 531 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: be next this year and just finding something that you're 532 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: passionate about and that is not a grind and that 533 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: you enjoy. And for me, that's been a million different sports. 534 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 1: But I get bored easily, so I get I like 535 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: to switch it up, and you know, I never know 536 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do that week. But you know I 537 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: lift three or four times a week. I bike, I swim, 538 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: I run, I you know, go for walks with my friends. 539 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: Some days I say, you know, let's just go for 540 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: a walk or go for a run, hike. Um. So 541 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: I think just finding something that you like to do 542 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: and that motivates you to get up and get out there, 543 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: whatever it is, and just be moving. And um, even 544 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: just for fifteen minutes. You know, there's some days I 545 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: don't even want to get up and do it, and 546 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: I said, okay, just get up, get dressed, and if 547 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: after ten minutes you don't feel like doing it, you 548 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: can stop. I've never stopped, because once you're out there, 549 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: once you're moving, there's no way you're gonna stop. But 550 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: taking that first step is the hardest, and just getting 551 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: yourself up and moving. I have my cup of coffee 552 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: before I go, and hopefully it's quiet at that point. 553 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: I you know, I I do some reading. Sometimes I 554 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: just sit and I have, you know, do some meditation 555 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: or just some quiet thinking and kind of set the 556 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,719 Speaker 1: tone for the day before I work out. But I 557 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: think for anybody, just setting aside that time. And we're 558 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: really really good at saying we don't have time to 559 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: do things. And you know, I mean I I have 560 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: other than my two practices. I have a consulting business, 561 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: I do speaking, Um, I do a lot of writing. 562 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: So I think for me, I prioritize working out because 563 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the day I know is going to 564 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: be insane. But I have that hour two hours in 565 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: the morning where that's all I'm doing. And there are 566 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: two things you said I want to hit on as 567 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: we slowly wrap this up, and it's so important and 568 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: again one of the main of many reasons I wanted 569 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: to have you on. As you said, you're a better 570 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: person as a result. And when I was a trainer, 571 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, I have the women and there was always 572 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: that guilt. There was always the guilt, and they'd say 573 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: you just tell, or they'd say it out loud, or 574 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: you could tell or both that I'm taking time away, 575 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: especially women who had just had the young ones. And 576 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: you're a better person because you exercise right your kids. 577 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: I always say, your kids want you to where your 578 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,959 Speaker 1: kids are all enough? My wife, you know when you know, 579 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: like when you're tapering for a race and you're doing 580 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: less so and I want to say, Jen was talking 581 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: about that you just do fifteen minutes and you just start. 582 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm that way too now, where like I'll say I 583 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: don't want to go for like it's crazy. There's days 584 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: that I'm just like, I don't want to do that 585 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: longer workout, and I'll say I'm just gonna go do 586 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: ten minutes as Jens, and inevitably you never stopped. Never, never, 587 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: But that is so again the quote unquote secrecy. We 588 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: that we hear about whatever, and that you dismiss the 589 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: people who are listening are actually the trick. So so 590 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, when you tell yourself psychologically, I'm just gonna 591 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: go do ten minutes. That's that's manageable. I'm gonna get up, 592 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, and inevitably, because it feels so good, the 593 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: hormones and all that stuff, you never And I love 594 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: that you said, because never cut it now. Never. Even 595 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: today when my when my computer wasn't working for my bike, 596 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, I was twenty minutes and I said, well, 597 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: now I have to keep going, so I'll do something else. 598 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: So I could have stopped, but I said, no, I'll 599 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: switch and do a swim work out on our swim trainer. 600 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: But the same thing, you know, when I work out 601 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: early morning and lift. I think lifting can be very 602 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: difficult first thing in the morning because your body is 603 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: not warmed up and you're not feeling it. But I said, okay, 604 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: I'll go and stretch. I do a lot of mobility work. 605 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: I do a lot of foam rolling, and I just 606 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,479 Speaker 1: do a kind of a long warm up and I 607 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: think that really gets me going and it goes quickly. Um, 608 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: I mean we go to bed early. I make that 609 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: a priority to you know what. I love to spend 610 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: another hour watching Netflix, absolutely, but you know, I know 611 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: exactly what time I need to go to bed to 612 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: make the next day good and to make sure I 613 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: get up and um, you know, I I power down 614 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: my computer. I really don't check email after a certain point. 615 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: We do watch TV, but I try and kind of 616 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: have a relaxing nights that I'm not keyed up trying 617 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: to fall asleep because that makes the morning much more difficult. 618 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: It make me feel bad about my There are two 619 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: things I don't do well at all. I do not 620 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: get enough sleep and I don't check enough water. Not 621 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: even close on either front. And I'm working on it. 622 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, um, and that's you know you're doing. You're 623 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: hitting everything right. But to do everything, that's the difference 624 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: to right. To do everything you're doing, you have to 625 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: do all the little things. You have to do all 626 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: the little things consistently. As a moderation. I talked about 627 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: all the time. So when's the iron man? The moment 628 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: I know my husband said, oh no, don't say anything 629 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: on the air. Don't put out a goal that you 630 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: can't back up. So I said, what do you think 631 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: my goal should be? And he's very very very good 632 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: to me. Where anything crazy that I come up with? 633 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: He says, sure, I think you could do that. And 634 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: you know, with half iron Man's that was for me 635 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: a crazy, absolutely crazy goal. But you know, the time 636 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: trial was a crazy goal last year. And you know, 637 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: I've I've got a few things that I want to 638 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: do and I just have to decide what's gonna motivate 639 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: me the most. I know I can do all of them, 640 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: but it's just deciding where I want to put my energy, 641 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: my time and what's going to give me kind of 642 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: the most satisfaction. Um, you know what workouts really make 643 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: me happy. And I think I've learned that I don't 644 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: have to do things I don't want to do. And 645 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's hard to you know, I said, 646 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: I did a marathon and I actually thought I would 647 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: do another one, um, you know, last year, and it 648 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: just wasn't the right time. And I did a couple 649 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: of long runs and I went out there and came 650 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: home and said, you know, I just don't feel it, 651 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: and I'm not feeling this energy of going out and 652 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: doing a three or four hour run. I'm not excited 653 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: about doing it, and you know, I kind of looked 654 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: at my husband said I don't think this is the 655 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: year to do it. And I just didn't push, and 656 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: I didn't want to push and get injured and dread 657 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: waking up and doing my workout. So I said, you know, 658 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: I think I'm really interested in biking this year and 659 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: kind of switched my whole workout plan and my goals. 660 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: But you know, I think the other key is just 661 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: not punishing yourself by working out and not making it 662 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: this horrible thing to go out and do these things. 663 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: And you know, there's so many sports and types of 664 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,719 Speaker 1: things you can do and not feeling that because everyone 665 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: you know is doing a marathon or everyone I know 666 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,479 Speaker 1: is doing an iron Man, that that's something I have 667 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: to do and it would be great to do it, 668 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: but it just not might not be the right time. So, 669 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: you know, finding something that gets you out of bed 670 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: at five o'clock in the morning and that you look 671 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: forward to getting out there and doing and it's such 672 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: a great way to kind of bring it all together. 673 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: Is that, um, there's no failure, right, you know, and listen. 674 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: I had one client for years who I would train 675 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: him for iron Man and he just he wouldn't do it, 676 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: and he used to feel bad about himself. And I'd say, listen, 677 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: you're training like that's the party, right, And so you know, 678 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: if and listen again, I was running for a really 679 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: long time and then kind of you know, we switch 680 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: it up because we get mentally fatigued. And you know, 681 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: that's the problem is so many people find they go, oh, 682 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: they love spinning, what's that? And they do it to 683 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: death and then they hate it, right, And so the 684 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: great news is that if and when you mix it 685 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: up together. And I would say, I'm not a triathlete, 686 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm someone who is like you and e d with this. 687 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: With the activity, I get so bored. I mean, if 688 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: you see me in the gym, I'm not doing three sets, 689 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm doing one set and I'm doing something else. So 690 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: people say can I work in? I go take it. 691 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not working. I'm not coming back. So you know, 692 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: you can pivot, and you have to be ready to pivot. 693 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: And so you may train for an event and you 694 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: go you know I'm not ready for it now or 695 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to do it, but you trained, and 696 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: that's not I hate the word failure. It's just it's learning, right, 697 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: and we are too tough on hers. And it goes 698 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: with eating too like people, Oh, since I ate a 699 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: crappy breakfast, then the whole day's rule and we take 700 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: that philosophy or that you know, towards everything and that's 701 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: not okay. So there is no failure and just keep 702 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 1: trying different things. And so I love it. And again 703 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: the takeaway from this is there's so many but challenge yourself, right, 704 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: go outside the comfort zone, and you go outside the 705 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: comfort zone where you can write, in other words, where 706 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 1: where you're kind of comfortable going uncomfortable right, setting kind 707 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: of realistic goals about what's realistic in your life at 708 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: that time. And you know, I know I would love 709 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: to do an iron Man, but right now I don't 710 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 1: have the time, and I think it would other things 711 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: would have to be sacrificed for that, and it's just 712 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: not the right time in my life for that. So 713 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: I said, you know, what could I do that I 714 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: could compete in in shorter amount of time, whether it 715 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: be time trials or getting back into sprint triathlons, aquabike, 716 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: really kind of focusing on swimming and cycling, doing more weightlifting, 717 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: really feeling as fit as I possibly can, and enjoying 718 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: that part of a different type of workout, but being 719 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: able to do that and not say, well, oh, I 720 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: have to go for a twenty mile run so I 721 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: can't lift, So kind of figuring out how it all 722 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: fits in and how it fits in in my life, 723 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: my family's life, and but doing things I enjoy and 724 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: then I schedule and make sure I get them done. 725 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: So again, if if she, if Dr Stewart isn't someone 726 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: to just inspire you there there's something you're thinking about. 727 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: There's something you're thinking about, right People who are listening 728 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: and say, I've always wanted to do that, but you're 729 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: scared to go take that group cycling class, or you're 730 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: scared to go, you know, do that five k walk 731 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. And what you will learn is 732 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: there is such power in achieving that and going. And 733 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: I always say, you know what, there's something about when 734 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: we put ourselves through the suffering, when it's chosen suffering, 735 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, you learn that you're tough, You learn that 736 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: you can the resiliency and all that cot grit, you know, 737 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: these great books, and that's that's what it's about. When 738 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: we don't challenge ourselves and you know, self efficacy, you 739 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: don't think you can do so many different things right, 740 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: and so when you go outside that comfort zone and 741 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: you achieve something and it gets addictive people, you know, 742 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: that's the danger. I think that's the big warning is 743 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: that it doesn't just stop at one. You know, I 744 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: did that one sprint traathlon where I thought I would 745 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: truly die and then cross the finish line and you know, 746 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 1: as soon as I as I'm coming up going there's 747 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: no way of ever doing this again. And that's I 748 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: think how every tray athlete starts and you know, I'm 749 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: never doing this again. I crossed fish and I'm gonna 750 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: do a half iron man. I mean, that's a ridiculous conversion, 751 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: but that's how it happens. And it's just that addiction 752 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: to you know, feeling good about doing something and kind 753 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: of looking back and saying, wow, you know I did 754 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: seventy point three miles of swim, swim, bike and run, 755 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: and you know a year ago I couldn't swim one 756 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: lap in the pool and really just I think being 757 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: proud of what you accomplished and setting you know, I'm 758 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: a goal setter. I'm a numbers person, so you know, 759 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: setting these goals and kind of taking them off and 760 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: that translates to life as well. And you know, I 761 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 1: do a lot of speaking and media stuff now where 762 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: probably three years ago I couldn't imagine doing it, and 763 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, being up in front of a crowd of 764 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: a hundred people and speaking was terrifying. And now I 765 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: can't wait to be out. Yeah, just doing you know, 766 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: doing something like this or being on you know, doing 767 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: a lot of media work where it's terrifying. But if 768 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: you can do you know, one thing, then there's no 769 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: reason you can do the rest of it right. And 770 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: it's will be with this everybody. It's scary for everybody, 771 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: you know. I tell this story. Final story then is 772 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: my first iron Man again, didn't own a bike going 773 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: to New zealand, couldn't swim lap. I mean, there was 774 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 1: no business doing this, iron Man, And you might even 775 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 1: be too young. Rock Fry and Paul Huddle, right, two 776 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 1: of the greatest coaches back in the day, happened to 777 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: be I don't even know who they were. So I 778 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: was in a bike shop someone said, oh, you're doing 779 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: an iron Man in New Zealand in six weeks. Rock 780 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: Fry and Paul hud are going to be in town. 781 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna do it one day seminar. You should do it. 782 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: I said, okay, I don't know who they are, but 783 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: I'll do it. They were, you know, the pre eminent 784 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: coaches at the time. Long story, short swim, bike run. 785 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: They coach us for all of it. We're in the pool. 786 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: They had a video camera underwater and for everyone else 787 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 1: in there, like, okay, you know, work on your reach, 788 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, catch all the stuff they're giving pointers. I 789 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: do my two lapps of the pool and there's just 790 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: a pregnant pause. I have this on VHS tape still 791 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: to this day, and rock Fry said, Okay, Tom, you've 792 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: got an iron Man six weeks in New Zealand. Good luck, 793 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: And looking back years later, it was the greatest. He 794 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: didn't he could. There's nothing he could have said that 795 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't have freaked me out. There's no advice, but it 796 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: was like, you know, it was one of the greatest experiences, 797 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: right because I finished and you can finish and the 798 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: goals you set for yourself and all you people out 799 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: there who have kids and are trying to find your 800 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: y and we'll go back. You're probably not gonna ride horses, 801 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: and you're probably not gonna do an iron man. You're 802 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: probably not gonna do a time trial bike ride, but 803 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: you can if you want all that stuff. But you 804 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: can get up ten minutes earlier. Get up ten minutes earlier. 805 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,439 Speaker 1: You're gonna feel better at least to so many other things. Um, 806 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: get up five minutes, do us, set a push up stretch. 807 00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: Start your day that way, and you know, we'll do 808 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: a whole show on why you should exercise in the morning. Um, 809 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: so many different reasons. But um, you can set your 810 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 1: clock for ten minutes earlier and it leads to so 811 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 1: many great things. So which iron man did you say? There? 812 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: You know what I know how much just about every 813 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,320 Speaker 1: anyone else, Jenn, I would force them, But because you 814 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,439 Speaker 1: are so ridiculously busy like but that's you know, pick 815 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 1: your battles everybody too. You know there are no small steps, 816 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: right and you know again everyone was a beginner at 817 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: some time. Everyone was scared at some time. Yes, yes, 818 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: that's the scary thing right. I mean I realized that 819 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: I wasn't training as hard for ironment because I needed 820 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: to make it harder in some convoluted way. Because and 821 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: then you go, oh, I can do this, and you're 822 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: onto the next thing. So just challenge yourself and just 823 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: you know, we all have the ability to to do 824 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: what what we think we can write. I mean, if 825 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: you look back yourself, even though you were doing all 826 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: that stuff back then, you would never Oh no, I 827 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: would never have thought I could run a five k. Yeah, 828 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,919 Speaker 1: never in high school, even in college. But I've even 829 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: thought that in my twenties i'd run a five k 830 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: let alone. Do you know the laundry list of things 831 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: I've done and continue to do? Who knows what this 832 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: exactly I was gonna say, five years from now, we're 833 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: gonna help you back on. Shall be a professional triathlete? 834 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 1: You know, yes, but just you know, set goals for yourself, 835 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: put it on the calendar, be accountable. And you know 836 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 1: that's the other great thing, by the way, the final thing. 837 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: And I've said that a couple of times. Too much 838 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: good stuff. When you have a goal like Dr Stewart's 839 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: talking about, then your workouts a purpose Okay. That's another 840 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: huge reason we set these goals for ourselves when you're 841 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: in the fitness industries, because we get bored too, and 842 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: we need a reason to go down and work out, right, 843 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 1: And so when you have an event like a charity 844 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: walk or a bike ride or anything like that, it 845 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: gives your workouts purpose and that makes it exponentially easier 846 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: to to do it. So thank you so much. I mean, 847 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: where did you have the time to you?

We're doing 850 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: this on a treadmill that would have been you know, 851 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: super efficient that we've talked about doing just low intensity 852 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 1: right now, no speed work. Um, well, thank you so much. 853 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: Thank you for having and not nothing on the calendar 854 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: that you can talk nothing yet.

I want 873 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: to thank one final time Dr Jennifer Stewart for making 874 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: the time coming in here and hopefully inspiring some of 875 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: you people, some of you who are so busy. The 876 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: mother's being the father doesn't have to be just a 877 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 1: female thing. But we're all busy and we all have 878 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: comfort zones, and you just have to figure out what 879 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 1: works for you. There is no one way, and that's 880 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: why I bring on all of these different guests to 881 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: show you all of the different ways that you can 882 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: get to your goals and set goals, because that is 883 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: one of the major issues with exercise and nutrition, and 884 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: everyone speaks of the one way. It's one of the 885 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: favorite things when I interviewed Matt Fitzgerald and if you 886 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 1: haven't heard that show, listen to it. Do Diet Coults 887 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 1: when he talks about the one way. There is no 888 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 1: one way. There's science, and that's why I do those shows. 889 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: Science and then you take the science and you figure 890 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,919 Speaker 1: out your way. And Jen Ellison so surprising and that's 891 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: that's what she's so when I first heard her story, 892 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: so intriguing because again, she doesn't look like someone who 893 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: would do all the different things she does sports wise, 894 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: and it's it's about getting outside that comfort zone. And 895 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: when you do that, that's where self efficacy, as I 896 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: talked about, it happens confidence and it affects everything in 897 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,320 Speaker 1: your life in a positive way. So thank you again, 898 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,720 Speaker 1: thank you for listening. And if you have not rated 899 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: the show, that is your homework.
