00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year when we know so many

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: people are thinking about their wellness, thinking about, you know,

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,720

00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: is the perfect time. So it's good to be back. Well,

36
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: I missed you. I was in New York last the

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: first quarter last year. Came by the shop over Mulberry

38
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: Street right about their clamhouse up. How has COVID affected

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: the fitness game because we're all shocked. You know, we

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: shut down for two months, but you had to come

41
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: out of that. How did it? A New York is steal,

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: that's what you're based in New York City, and so

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: how in each state has different rules for COVID eight team.

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: So how have they affected your business? Well, Listen, it

45
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: was devastating for us in the beginning because we had

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: spent the prior six months getting ready for a big

47
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: launch in March, and right when we were ready to

48
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: kind of relaudunch our brand UM in the new studio,

49
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: we got asked to shut down. So we were shut

50
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: down for six months. And that has affected a lot

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: of the fitness businesses in New York, especially the small

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: operators UM. And so it's decimated a lot of businesses,

53
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: you know. UM. But at the same time, one of

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: my phrases that I use a lot is looked plans change,

55
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: but purposes permanents. Right, So even though plans changed, the

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: your purpose, the deep soul level, passionate purpose that you

57
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: live by, that's permanent. And so my purpose is always

58
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: to encourage uplift others, help them make that mind, body

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: and soul connection and so we found new ways to

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: do that. We've created a new app, the brace Life,

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: and uh that's going to be free to everybody in January, right,

62
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: free to everybody. You get your motivating it should need

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: yet your workouts, you get your telling. This helps us

64
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: really and help me specifically when you focus in on

65
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: what my true purpose is. And look, we're still here,

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: our gym is still surviving, and so people are still coming.

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: People want to work out, people are seeking us out.

68
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: So you know we've been we've been blessed. Well that's

69
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: the key people seeking you at because you can promote

70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: like you're having a great hamburger. Nobody is there to

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: buy it. Okay, there's new cases, a great workout program.

72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Talk about this the app, and then I'm gonna go

73
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: back to the twenty day program. But let's tell us

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: about the app. So when I get the word app

75
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: is free? Is downloadable? Is their name for the app.

76
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: The app is called the brace Line. Thought they need

77
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: to do is go to the brace life dot com

78
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,280

Speaker 1: got the nutrition, you've got your workouts, maybe you have

84
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: your your meditation. But what we're trying to do, especially

85
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: during this time, Look, one thing covidanceins taught us is

86
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: that we can't wait to start living our best lives, right,

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: We need to do it today in every interaction, in

88
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: every word spoken, and every action and reaction. And so

89
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: this app is designed to really help people make that mind,

90
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: body and soul connection, right. The mind being the intelligent

91
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: problem solving part of you, the body obviously the physical

92
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,839

Speaker 1: live workouts with me and so honestly, you know, what's

99
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: happened this year for me personally has really helped me

100
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: um focus and decide what do I really have to

101
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: give and what is this moment asking me to give

102
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: and how can I deliver that? And that's how the

103

108
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: Okay days a signature program that kind of put us

109
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: on the map. So to refresh Paul, this is the

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: program that a comedian came and asked me if I

111
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: could get him in shape in in thirty days and

112
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: get six pack abbs in thirty days. And I just said, yes, comedian.

113
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: You see a comedian. Yeah, he was a comedian, Mark Malcolm.

114
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: He's a filmmaker and he does these different projects, right,

115
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: these insane projects. He went to all Starbucks in Manhattan

116
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Island in a day. And so his next insane project was, look,

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: these fitness magazines say that you can get six stack

118
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: ads in thirty days. Can that really be done? And

119
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: so he came to me and I said, sure, we

120
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: can do it in thirty days. And we ended up

121
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: doing it. And this was back in two thousand eleven

122
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: and that video he posted it on an obscure platform

123
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 1: and that platform it got a million views, right sorry,

124
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: two thousand got a million views, and so people started

125
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: seeking me out and since then the Challenges has become

126
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: a signature program where we transformed people's bodies in twenty

127
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: eight days UM and so uh, it's uh, it's an

128
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: intense program. That that is the most intense program that

129
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: we offer. But it comes with a mail plan. It

130
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: comes with UM specific um caudio protocols designed to really

131
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: strip down body flat flat and mod your body within

132
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: a short period of time. So let's talk about that.

133
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that first program. Let's let's slow you

134
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: back down, you know, because you know thirty days and

135
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: you have a person who says he wants it done,

136
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: but really doing it for arterior motives. She's doing it

137
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: for video project or a docuseries. So what were the

138
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: frustrations in that process and what were the uplifting moments

139
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: for you in that process? Are working with a person

140
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: there's the first time you did this type of program,

141
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: which is because a signature part of your program. So

142
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: now you know what the bumps in the road are

143
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: in this particular program. Where people will push back or

144
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: the pushback was in that initial program with him, I

145
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: think to push back. The one thing that I remember

146
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: working with Mark and and has shown itself in subsequent

147
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: clients and projects, is that people think it's um People

148
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: try to oversimplify it. There is a lot of science

149
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: and there is a lot of dedication that you have

150
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: to put in to make this work right. And so

151
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: it's not just a matter of while I'm going to

152
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: cut a few meals here and there, getting people to

153
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: see that, look, you can have what you want, it's

154
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: right here, right, but you have to go through steps A, B, C,

155
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: and D in this order to get there right. And

156
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: so I think initially, Mike, where I had to grow

157
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: is learning to communicate that in a way that is

158
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: encouraging and uplifting and inspiring and so um in terms.

159
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: So that was one of the challenges. Right, everybody wants

160
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: what is Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody

161
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: wants to die right. Everybody wants to add, but nobody

162
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: wants to do the work right. So so it's getting

163
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: people through that process and helping people to connect and

164
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: visualize their goals and how they see themselves with the

165
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: work that they're putting in every single day, and once

166
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: you make that connection, then that's like rocket fuel, right.

167
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: They're like, Oh, I want to be here. I can

168
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: see myself there, and in order to get there, all

169
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: I gotta do is these steps every single day and

170
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: stay focused on what's right in front of me. That's

171
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: where it becomes inspiring. And you know, Mark went on

172
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: and yet an incredible transformation. It's one of the most

173
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: dramatic transformations we've ever had. And so you know, he's

174
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: just been one of those people who always supported our

175
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: program and that we ended up one of the highlights.

176
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: The program ended up being turned into an infomercial, and

177
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: so we were flown out to l A. We were

178
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: on a sound stage built for the twenty day challenge,

179
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: and Mark, who was there at the beginning, was there

180
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: one of those you know, big moments. You know, it's great.

181
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: One thing I liked about that whole story is when

182
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: I talk about people who come on my show and

183
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: I talked about the purpose of money making conversation, being

184
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: ready and not shine away from a challenge. Like you said,

185
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: there was something you've never done before, but it was

186
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: presented to you. You felt that you could pull it

187
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: off without proper planning. But you knew that. You knew

188
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: your brain and you knew what your brain is based upon,

189
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: and so a lot of people shy away from That's

190
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: what I always tell people. Let's walking out in the

191
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: dark without a flashlight, but your flashlight was that your

192
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: brand was on sound footing and you knew how to

193
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: accomplish the task. Talk about when people are presenting you

194
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: with ideas and how people shouldn't shy away from that,

195
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: and how you was able to overcome that doubt when

196
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: this project was presented to you. Uh. I think that

197
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: that you know, everything that you do in life is

198
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: preparation and when opportunities or challenges like that are presented.

199
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: For me, you know, part of my back round as

200
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm spiritual, I was a minister for many years. For me,

201
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: it's um, you know, God saying to me, it's time

202
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: for you to be scrapped. It's time for you to

203
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: be uncomfortable, and that's where the blessings really come from.

204
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: And look, you might not be successful in every single one,

205
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: right Listen, if you haven't failed enough, it means you

206
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: haven't been trying hard enough, right, But you're going to

207
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: fail us some things that you're gonna learn through those failures.

208
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: But at the same time, when those opportunities are presented,

209
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: it's it's just like an opening a door to another gateway.

210
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: You don't know what's going to come from that. You

211
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: don't know what's behind that door. And so so long

212
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: as you can stay true to your core beliefs, true

213
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: to your integrity, true to the trajectory that you see

214
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: yourself on, right when these opportunities present themselves, um, it's

215
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: it's time for me. It's always represented as an open door,

216
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: a time to step up and discover something new. And

217
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: if I had not stepped up, really a huge part

218
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: of what has h helped my personal brand and my

219
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: gym be successful, I would never have I would never

220
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: have been introduced to And that's really important now. Now

221
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: when I came by your studio when I was in

222
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: New York, and I would like, at the one, let

223
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: you know this right now, Robert, I'd be in New

224
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: York two weeks a month starting June January eight, So

225
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: you definitely need to take this old body and kind

226
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: of like, let's talk about my old body, because that's

227
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: a lot of that's just the first of the year,

228
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: and we all want to get in shape immediate, you know,

229
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: but there's a process, Like I've learned that. Like I'm

230
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: moving into a new building and I found myself going

231
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: up and down steps and my knees started talking to me.

232
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: So that means that my knees and say, okay, you

233
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: you look like you're in shape, y show, but your

234
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: knees are not prepared for going up and down these steps.

235
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk about doing the process right. What's your program

236
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: in general, and not trying to overextend the physical capabilities

237
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: that body is not prepared to undertake. Yes, you, this

238
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: is really important, and I'm glad you asked this question

239
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: because sometimes when people like me come on a show,

240
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: it can seem like and I've just talked about a

241
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight day program, right, so it can seem like

242
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: you just gotta go hard and you're got to smash

243
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: your body. That's definitely not where we come from. Right.

244
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: My background, as you know, as a professional dancer, as

245
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: I was in school, I was an athlete, and so

246
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: one of the main things that we focus on is

247
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: doing things with the right form and the right technique right,

248
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: because if you do things with the right form, and

249
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: you may take a little more longer on the beginning end. Right,

250
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: your body is going to adapt to proper form, and

251
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: it's going to accelerate your results. Whereas if you just

252
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: bang away your body and you're not listening to your body,

253
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: it can exacerbate any injuries. Um and it can and

254
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: it can ultimately take you longer to get to where

255
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: you want to be. So you talk about your old body, right,

256
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: there's no old bodies. Your body has a lot of

257
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: wisdom in it. Your body has been through a lot

258
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: of things. I know that you work out. You can

259
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: see out me on that on my knees. Well, listen,

260
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: your knees be talking to you because they've got something

261
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: to say some places, right. So so since in some

262
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: places there's some wisdom in there, right. So what do

263
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean by that is that your your body has

264
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: muscle memory, right, and so more that you train it

265
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: in the right way, the more that it's going to

266
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: adapt and respond. Right. And so it's just a matter

267
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: of doing things in the right way over time and

268
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: your body will change and respond. What I say to

269
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: my clients is gentle um uh, gentle pressure applied relentlessly right,

270
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: little general pressure, apply relentlessly and your body is going

271
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: to change and physically, but getting too scientifical technical, there's

272
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: this thing called specific adaptation to impose demand. If you

273
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: um impose a demand on your body specifically and over time,

274
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: your body will specifically adapt to meet that demand. And

275
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: that is how it will change and mold to be

276
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: the body that you want it to be. And that's

277
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: when your serotonin goes up, your dolphins go up, You

278
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: get the joy, you get the stress relief in addition

279
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: to your body changing, that's what makes it a whole mind, body,

280
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: and soul experience. It's finally here, the season of celebration.

316
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: of the major steps, Like, you know, I do a

317
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: little light workout, I do walking, I do some cardio,

318
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: I do some you know, do the core. What are

319
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: the dynamics of the twenty day program? You did say

320
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: there is a meal plan associated because like you said,

321
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: you you can't go out there and double b cheese

322
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: burgers and try to do a twenty day program at

323
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: the same time. Let's go and get that out. Okay.

324
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: So how does this start and how does it in

325
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: in the twenty day period? Okay? So there are for instance,

326
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: if you go on somewhere app, there are four signature workouts, right,

327
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: and they're designed to be done one after the other.

328
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: So we start you off with a dynamic warm up.

329
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: We teach you the principles in the in the course

330
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: before you even start, we show the principles of how

331
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: to move your body as a principal I called fierce form.

332
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: So how to move your body in the right posture

333
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: in the right way so that you accelerate your results

334
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: and get everything that we've talked about. And also how

335
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: to engage your core. Engaging your core in the right

336
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: way means that over time you're going to be able

337
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: to do more explosive movements faster. So we progress the

338
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: movements and the work workouts in a certain way. And

339
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: so there's a four basic ones, but then as we

340
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: go we'll be doing live workouts as well, so people

341
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: will be able to join in for free, especially in January.

342
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: The live workouts um that are going to add to

343
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: those four they say workouts, and you'll see, we build

344
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: up your care, we build up your form, then we

345
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: build up your power, that we build up your joance,

346
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: then we build up your own athletic ability, and it

347
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: just slowly, slowly rises like this. And so within either

348
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight calendar days or twenty eight actual workouts, those

349
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: are the two versions, you get a whole body transformation.

350
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: And what we've added it Listen, but I want people

351
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: to understand is the challenge we've done all day, every

352
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: day and we've we've gotten results many many, many times,

353
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: especially in this year. We want people to connect their

354
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: mind to what they're doing, and this is the reason

355
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: why people are coming off COVID nineteen. There's a lot

356
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: of anxiety, there's a lot of depressing, a lot of

357
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: people going through many different things. Everybody has a different

358
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: life story. When you move your body, the thing to

359
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: understand is that it produces something called serotonin, which is

360
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: it would increases your joy, increases endolphins, which takes the

361
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: edge off of the physical markers of stress. And especially

362
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: for other people in black communities, you know, the markers

363
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: of stress are affecting us in terms of arthritis um

364
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: in terms of inflammation in our joints and in our

365
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: arteries which can lead to heart problems which can lead

366
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: to diabetes, affecting our aggestive issues. Right, And so when

367
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: you move, you get more seroto tonnel, which gives you

368
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: more joy. You get more endolphins, which takes the edge

369
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: of your stress. There's even a hormone called endoc cannabinoids,

370
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 1: and it increases your bliss, It helps you think more clearly,

371
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: increases the executive functioning of your brain. So, in addition

372
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: to what a changed body, you're getting a changed mind.

373
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: And in addition to a changed mind, you're getting feelings

374
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: of of of joy, of peace. It actually increases the

375
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: love hormone, so your ability to bond with other people.

376
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: So those those feelings of joy and peace, love, those

377
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: are spiritual, soul level qualities. So change your body, you

378
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: elevate your mind, and you refresh your soul. So I

379
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: want people to get the body changed. Everybody wants to

380
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: be snatched. Everybody wants to be looking good with that

381
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: shut off for the swimsuit. Right, we got you no

382
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: problem all day every day. In addition to that, we

383

Speaker 1: want to give you that elevated experience. You know, Robert,

Speaker 1: something that people need to know about sustaining it. Right.

414
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: Listen again, don't want to get too technical, but you've

415
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: got to connect your long term goals to something bigger

416
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: than yourself or to your bigger life goal. Right. And

417
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: what I mean is you just talked about Black History Months,

418
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: doing something that we're all going to be celebrating, and

419
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: that is bigger than us. Right. And look, there is

420
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: still more work to be done in this arena. We've got,

421
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: you know, for me in my house, and I've got

422
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: my daughters I've got to raise and I've got to

423
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: help them be more focused. I've got to I've got

424
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: to help them see the love of themselves, love themselves

425
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: so who they are too, beautiful black girls. And so

426
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: I need to be strong and available. And so because

427
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: I need to be strong and available, I need physically

428
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: to be where I need to be so that I

429
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: can give them the attention that they need, with the

430
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: energy that they need, so that I can be there

431
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: for my wife, be there for my kids. And that

432
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: is that's that's a belief right in the center of

433
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: my being. And so I make that the reason why

434
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: I work on my body and we have got to

435
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: connect to the higher goals in our lives. Yes, it's

436
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: been shown that when people go for just merely short goals,

437
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: after you reach the goal, there's a little bit of

438
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: a depression to gold and then it's like what's next.

439
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: And many people, many programs say Okay, you've got to

440
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: go onto maintenance. But maintenance maintenance is who wants to

441
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: just maintain? Right? People want to excel, people, people want

442
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: to grow, people want to elevate. I don't want to

443
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: spend my life maintaining right, And so what we've got

444
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: to do is connect with a higher goal. Right. So

445
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: I want to be there for my kids to do

446
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: this work that I do, which I consider an extent ministry, right,

447
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: So I need to be strong for that. So everybody's

448
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: going to figure out what is your big why? What

449
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: is the big why? Um that you need to take

450
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: care of your body to make sure that you're strong,

451
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: to make sure that your for strength is where it

452
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: needs to be and you're at peace in your soul. Right,

453
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: So that's how you keep it going a long time.

454
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: And then if you want to do a twenty eight day,

455
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: you smash it for twenty eight days. Then you can

456
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: go back to the lifestyle, a lifestyle regiment, and then

457
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: as you want to move from a lifestyle regiment to

458
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: look for an adventure and you want to go on

459
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: a hike, com man, you want to climb it, then

460
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: then you do that. But your prime goal, your prime purpose,

461
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: right is always connected to why you're moving your body

462
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: and why you're exercising. It's got to be elevated. And

463
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: that's one of the things we talked about. You know,

464
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the end Ofview, I talked about

465
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: your studio on one thirty one thirty two Mulberry Street

466
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: down a little place I visited and peep through little door,

467
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: so I saw I saw a studio. It's not a

468
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: big studio, so a studio that how many people can

469
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: get in your studio And with people coming out of COVID,

470
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: you know, with the vaccine coming out, look, I expect

471
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: people at the end of the first quarter to start

472
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: start coming into studio and starting to be reminded they

473
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: could interact, talk about your studio size, in the location

474
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: and what benefits of coming to your studio. Will have

475
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: a period ten okay, so yeah, we've got I mean

476
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: for a Boutich Studios is a decent size. We've got

477
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: square feet and you know what what in typical times

478
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: we can have a capacity of fifty people, but during COVID,

479
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: we've produced that to sixty. Right. Well, the building has

480
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: the run, has a capacity of fifty people, right, but

481
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: during COVID the maximum occupancy is sixteen. But we've gone

482
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: further one. We ah, we've passed our health inspection and

483
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: we've gotten a grade in terms of our COVID cleanliness.

484
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: And so we're trying to limit the amount of people

485
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: in the studio to just three to five clients will

486
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: for the trainer, right, um, so that there's enough space

487
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: between everybody, everybody feels safe. Um. And look, we can

488
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: have sixty people in the studio, but we just want

489
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: to go Look if if we're talking about helping people

490
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: be well, right, then we need to go above and

491
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: beyond that when people are in our environment that they

492
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: are well and so, um and so and so. Yeah,

00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: maintaining the distance, wearing the masks, getting in shape, and

496
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: we're going to continue. They need to do that, and

497
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,520

Speaker 1: goals and everything that we talked about. So we put

522
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: on these noise canceling headphones so you cancel out all

523
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: the noise around you. You go through this meditation and

Speaker 1: because I need to, you know, I would tell you that.

542
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: You know, when I was like in the eighties, you know,

546
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: the class at the top of the month, and as

547
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: you go through the month, they started dropping off, and

548
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: then you started zero again almost, you know, because you

549
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: start with thirty eight with ten. That's usually I happened

550
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,560
