1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland, and this is Fitness Disrupted, the 3 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: latest celebrity diet and exercise program. Makes my skin crawl, 4 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: makes my skin crawl. I just saw yet another, yet 5 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: another advertisement for Yes, the Latest Celebrity Diet, the Latest 6 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: Celebrity Diet, and I said, this is the fit tip, 7 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: this is the fit tip I'm gonna do because when 8 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: I first started this show Fitness Disrupted, and I had 9 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: to write my intro. You know, I did like a 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: thirty and a sixty second and a ninety second what 11 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: it centered on. And for those of you who who 12 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: heard the original intro to this show, I talked about 13 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: when your car breaks down, do you take it to 14 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: a mechanic, an experienced mechanic with years of training and 15 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: experience fixing cars, or do you take it to a celebrity? 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: Would you take it to Gwyneth Paltrow? And I have 17 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: a rule where I don't mention people. And my two 18 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: rules are unless they're a celebrity and unless they really 19 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: call me out, which even then I generally don't use 20 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: their names. But celebrities are different, especially when they attached 21 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: their name to it, and that's pretty simple. So this 22 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: was a specific one. I'm not going to name the 23 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: product doesn't matter. Gwyneth pitches a lot of different things 24 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: in this world, which I find really, really really irresponsible. 25 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: But that's the world we live in. And here's the quote. 26 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,639 Speaker 1: Let me just give you the quote. One of the quotes. 27 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: This is from Gwyneth. I've done a million different crazy fasts. 28 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: I've tried everything, but this one was pretty incredible. I've 29 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: had a really amazing experience doing it. Let's just let's 30 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: just look at those three sentences. I've done a million 31 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: different crazy fast Really, you've done a million well obviously exaggerating, 32 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: but so she hasn't eaten, so she's focused on not 33 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: eating a million different fast and then she called them crazy. 34 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: So which one is it? Which one should we believe? 35 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Is it this one? Now you've done a million crazy ones, 36 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: so why isn't this one crazy? Well, you know why 37 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: it's not crazy because she's making a lot of money 38 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: off It is two dred and twenty five dollars a fast, 39 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: and it doesn't end there. Yes, when you go and 40 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: you look at the description the homepage for this two 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: and twenty five dollar fast that is not crazy after 42 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: the million that Gwyneth Paltrow has done. Here's the line 43 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: and I read verbatim, Yes you're fasting with food exclamation point. 44 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: One of the best ways to experience fasting. Um, really, 45 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: does anyone know what the definition of fasting is? This 46 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: is insane. This is insane. So the fifth tip of 47 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: the week is very simple. Avoid the celebrity diet and 48 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: exercise programs like the Plague and listen. When I was 49 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: a personal trainer New York City, Connecticut, I spent years 50 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: training not only real people and athletes and CEOs, but 51 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: a handful of celebrities. Celebrities are not in the business 52 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: of being healthy. Okay, you don't see health on your screen, 53 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: on your movie theater screen, on your TV screen, on 54 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: your you know, computer screen. That's not what they're in 55 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: the business for. And it was a tough time with 56 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: a couple of different celebrities that I trained. And I've 57 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: given that story about the two thousand crunches. I'm not 58 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: proud of the fact that Quinin and I actor up 59 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: and coming actor in New York City. He wanted to 60 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: do two thousand crunches a session, and he wanted me 61 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: to do them with them, and I said that's ridiculous, 62 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: and he said, well, that's what we're doing. And that 63 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: was just on the exercise side of stupidity. You say, well, 64 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: why did you do it? Listen? I was starting out, 65 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: I needed the money, wasn't gonna hurt him, and I 66 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: told him it was a waste of time and money 67 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: didn't matter, all right, two thousand crunches could have saved 68 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: an hour and change. And and the story I tell 69 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: is I got in even better shape because I had 70 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: to do them with them. But I was also eating well, 71 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: So it's not just about crunches. I talked about that 72 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: on a different podcast. But exercise stupidity from a celebrity, right. 73 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: And then one more story, quick story. Celebrity I was 74 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: working with was working with this person at their home 75 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: and the first day we worked together, so I did 76 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: a session where I met with the person. We did 77 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: the whole intake that I do or used to do 78 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: before I worked with a client, goals, injury, all that 79 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So we met and then a couple 80 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: of days later was the first session. And so when 81 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: I arrived at the door, there was a FedEx package 82 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: on the door. Express FedEx joke Lee. I picked it up, 83 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: knocked on the door, celebrity opened the door, handed it over, 84 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: and I said, wow, your testosterone and growth hormone came 85 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: really quickly, and the celebrities face dropped and looked at me. 86 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: The celebrity looked at me confused and quiet. We walked 87 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: to the gym and the celebrities said, how did you know? 88 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what was in there, because it's not 89 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: about the healthy eating and it's not about a healthy 90 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: exercise program. It's getting in shape really quickly, losing weight, 91 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: gaining muscle to look great on screen, because let's face it, 92 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: we don't want our celebrities to look like we do. 93 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 1: For the most part, I'm not gonna get into specific 94 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: people who take you know, certain wrestlers and people like that, 95 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: huge movie stars. We want them to be different from us, 96 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: and they put their bodies through that they pay a 97 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: price to leave it at that. Okay, so please, celebrities 98 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: are not about health. They are not about eating healthy 99 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: a long excessive moderation doesn't work for the celebrity right well, 100 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: it does if they're in it for the health and 101 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: the long term. And obviously I am generalizing to a degree, 102 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: but you all know what I'm talking about. It's these 103 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: fasts with food for two d and twenty five dollars 104 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: from someone who's done a million different fasts, a million 105 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: different crazy fasts. Oh my gosh, the fact that that's 106 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: even the quote is insane. I want you to be healthy. 107 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: I want you to save your money. I talked about 108 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: that every show. My goal is for you to save time, 109 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: save money, be as healthy as possible, get the greatest 110 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: results shortest amount of time, with the least likelihood of injury. 111 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: And that goes for nutrition as well as exercise and 112 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: the psychology as well. So if your car breaks down, 113 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: take it to a mechanic, not a celebrity. When you 114 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: need advice in nutrition, you go to someone who studied it. 115 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: Want sports nutrition advice, you want, you know, exercise science advice, 116 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: go to someone who studied it and applied it and 117 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: lives it. And that's it. Avoid the latest celebrity diet 118 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: and exercise program. I just say five dollars hopefully or 119 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: more going forward. All right, I hope you enjoyed the 120 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: shorter version.
