Let's 3 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: talk about pilates. How many of you know what that is? 4 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: How many of you have tried it? Many of you 5 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: think you know what it is? How many of you 6 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: have tried it and then stopped? I didn't think that 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: it worked for you. I have a history of pilates. 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: Many years ago. I used to teach Matt pilates. So 9 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: that was in New York City. A little bit of 10 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: Matt Pilates along with other group exercise, very basic. I'm 11 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: nowhere near the level of training or expertise that my 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: next guest has. And funny story with that. Came out 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: to Connecticut and you know, I had people reaching out 14 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: to train and I received a call for um a 15 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: Supermodels assistant, Grantwich Caneticut, and she wanted me to come 16 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: train her client. And I said, I am that is 17 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: way outside my expertise. Would have been great money, could 18 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: have faked it, as many in this industry do, but 19 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: it's not my style. It's not what I do. And 20 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: so I referred her to someone like my next guest, 21 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: who has truly studied it, who had the expertise, especially 22 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: in the equipment.

I mean 89 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: crazy time that we'll talk about, and it all ties 90 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: into this thing that we're trying to do. You and 91 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: I help people better their lives, and COVID has taught 92 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: us so much. I always reframe, you know, to the positive. 93 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: But let's just well, let's let's get into like the 94 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: last time we met, I mean or we're together. Do 95 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: you remember where we were having breakfast? Let's just admit 96 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: where like we had Yes, I was gonna just I 97 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: was just open up with that. That was such an 98 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: impactful moment for me, Like you know what I mean, 99 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: Like it was one of those moment it's where we're 100 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: just talking and um, you were just bouncing ideas just 101 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: organically like hey, you could do this, you could do that, 102 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: you are this, you're that. And I was thinking to 103 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: myself afterwards, like I paid for that breakfast, but that 104 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: was like, uh, pretty good consulting gig. I just got 105 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: a free breakfast out of it. That's the costumes, the 106 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: breakfast to get all that wisdom. But where was it? 107 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: Where was it? What was the restaurant? Yeah, that was 108 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: right there. So I have to throw that out there 109 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: because you know, this is not TV and it's one 110 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: of the times I wish I did video, and you know, 111 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: maybe I'll do that going forward. But I I said 112 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: to Martin just before we went live and started recording, 113 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's nice to not have to worry about 114 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: how we look, especially in an industry where that's so 115 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: important and you know, social media. So Martin is not 116 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: your typical pilates instructor, and I'm gonna talk about that, 117 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: like he's muscular, not to say that many are not, 118 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: but he just goes against what many of the common 119 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: stereotypes and misconceptions about bodies. And again, that's what we're 120 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: gonna talk about, and we eat it. Denny's right, you 121 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: can do that there is no right. Yeah, so I 122 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: love that. Let's just get right into it. I didn't 123 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: want to do it because you're so much better at 124 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: it than I. And this is your expertise. Tell people like, 125 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: what's your thirty to sixties second pitch? Here's what plates 126 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: is someone who has no idea really what it is, 127 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: or they kind of think they know what are you telling? Well? 128 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: I always stoop by saying that plays is a system 129 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: of exercises that helps with your mobility, with your stability, 130 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: and help with your posture, with your core strength. And 131 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: you know a little known fact that Joseph Plotti is 132 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: actually a man named Joseph Plots and he was a 133 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: boxer and gymnast. So Plottes was actually designed by a 134 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: man for men, and for some reason it got caught 135 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: up with the dance industry and helping dancers because a 136 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: lot of the instructors were dancers, and then it became 137 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: this mindset of it being for women and for dances. 138 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: But really, if you look at the exercise, it's for 139 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: men and it helps us to just look better, feel better, 140 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: and just move better. Yeah, and so it goes way 141 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: back and I was it was perfect, perfect, you know 142 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: Joseph Polottis is an actual guy behind the name. One 143 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: other thing I want to jump into before I forget 144 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: Martin has tell people how long it takes to become certified. 145 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think people realize the amount of 146 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: work to truly become you know, a certified Plottis instructure. 147 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: There's different certifications, but but give them that kind of insight. 148 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, yeah. I mean you can, you can take 149 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: a weekend kind of special interest course. But then the 150 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: more you do what you realize that there's so many layers, 151 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: like an onion to this that you want to dive 152 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: deeper and deeper. I did an apprenticeship program that was 153 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: six hundred hours, and even within that, one of the 154 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: segments I didn't succeed in passing, So I had to 155 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: do another hundred two hundred hours just to get this 156 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: in my body and to understand how us all connected 157 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: and how to really help people. So yeah, it's it's 158 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: at least six hundred hours to get into a really 159 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: in depth understanding of the work. It's incredible. I don't 160 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: think people have the concept of that. And what's always 161 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: frightened me Martin as and you started as a personal trainer. 162 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you have many different layers to your expertise. 163 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: No certifications like does not matter. You can get and 164 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: most people, if they get anything, it's not even close 165 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: to SIS. Let's be honest. And that's why Martin. One 166 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: of my newest revenue streams is being a fitness expert 167 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: in lawsuits because of all of the you know, stupidity 168 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: nets out there. It's unfortunate but true. So I just 169 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: want people to realize that when you go to someone 170 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: like Martin, it is months and months and often years, 171 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: usually years of expertise. UM talk about the difference between 172 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: Matt pilates and then you know the machines, Like I 173 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: think that's a great differentiator for people. Yeah, it is, 174 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: you know. And and that's the thing too. I thought 175 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: that there was a difference, but then the deeper I 176 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: got into our realized that it's all part of the 177 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: system and it's all connected. So the Matt work you're doing, 178 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: the you know, the same exercises that you would on 179 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: a reformer or the tower or the ploodies share there's 180 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: some other piece of apparatus. The apparatus helped a guide 181 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: your body, whether it's like your leg circles with your 182 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: feet in the straps, or you have your handles to 183 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: give you some joint stability. But the point is that 184 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: all those exercises actually point you back to the mat work. 185 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 1: So one's going to help you with your mobility, or 186 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: one's going to help you with your flexibilities that you 187 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: could do the mat work with ease. Right. So the 188 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: base system is the mat work and the reformer, and 189 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: then the other pieces like the chair, the magic circle, 190 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: like the little circle you see sometimes all those pieces 191 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: are accessories to help you to do the mat and 192 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: the reformer work better. Right. Right. I love that you 193 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: put those together because you know, oftentimes so much of 194 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: fitness and everything is kind of pulled apart the pieces, 195 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: but in the end it all comes back together. Right. 196 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm just speaking two things. Like, you know, I think 197 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: there are people morton who obviously go to like the gym, 198 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: and they'll take a mat pilates class, right, and they'll 199 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: have no idea that there are these torture devices. By 200 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: the way, for those of you have never seen what 201 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: a pilate studio, Martin started by turning on his video 202 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: into a studio and we were getting ready to record, 203 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: and you see these, it's like torture devices though. That's 204 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: pretty funny, right, I mean if you see a yeah, 205 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: oh yeah, absolutely, or people think they're like sex machines 206 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: or something like what do we use totally And let 207 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: me give you a little history. I think you and 208 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: I talked about this morning at breakfast, but and on 209 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: the set um. You know, back when I was in 210 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: New York City starting as a personal trainer and spending 211 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: the years, you know, kind of honing my craft there, 212 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: I took pilates and there was one studio like main 213 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: studio right in midtown Manhattan, and it was like, you know, 214 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: the Manhattan elite. And I was the only guy who 215 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: ever walked in that door that I ever saw. And 216 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: when I walked in the door, they would just they 217 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: were not happy because I was a guy and it's 218 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: like their time. And I get that and be because 219 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: I would sweat on those ships. Right. People don't think 220 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: it's a workout, it's it's brtile. So talk about that, well, 221 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: it's I had a client this morning we were just 222 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: talking about that. There's this newer muscular fatigue that happened 223 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: is because you're trying to work from not your big 224 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: muscles that you're used to using, but from your small muscles, 225 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: and then there's a balanced component, and then there's all 226 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: these little small muscles that are firing, just fighting for 227 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: balanced and stability. Next you know, there's just this waterfall. 228 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: You're like, what's happening right? Like it? It can be 229 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: that challenging because you are engaged mind and body, and 230 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: every exercise you're not mindless. You doing a bicep curl on, 231 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, on a Preacher pro bench. You're connected from 232 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: your toes to your fingertips in each and every exercise, 233 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: from your core from the inside out. So it can 234 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: be challenging, and it can be it can be recovery 235 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: to like, let's not just like put it like, it's 236 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: just like, yeah, it can be. This could be something 237 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: that's corrective and it helps with your hips so you 238 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: feel better when you walk your gates different when you 239 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: walk out. But there is that performance component where you 240 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: have you know, athletes, weekend warriors who come in and 241 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: get a good workout and they're like, I don't need 242 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: to jump on the waist because I just got that 243 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: sweat on, I just got that muscle fatigu that I needed. 244 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: So so important Martin and I don't know if we 245 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: did talk about this because I think it came after. 246 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: But in my new book that might well about a 247 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: year old now Micro Workout Plan, I have a couple 248 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: of success stories and I opened the book with one 249 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: of you know, my top success stories and it's a 250 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: guy and it was someone who has you know, experienced 251 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: all the injuries known to man, but love tennis, loved 252 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: the racket sports so much that he was like, I 253 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: have to figure out all I mean, surgeries, knees, elbows, everything. 254 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: Long story short, he did all of the smaller things consistently. 255 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: And one and is to this day, Matt pilots once 256 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: a week every week. You know, hardcore. I think he's 257 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: maybe even ninety minutes. But like he does strength training, 258 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: he does you know, we worked with me for years 259 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: and and but pilates is a huge part of his 260 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: success too. For everything you just said, right, he came 261 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: in injured. And what I want to kind of impressed 262 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: on people men, Yeah, prehab versus rehab, phab versus rehab. 263 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: And that's the thing, Like, that's my pitch to my 264 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: athletes is that lotise can be the missing link for 265 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: your training because you think that squads and dead lifts 266 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: are going to get you that faster forty time or 267 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: that higher vertical. It's when you get into Plotty studio 268 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: and you're working on like your glue men, or you're 269 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: working on you're so asked, you're working on someone's muscle 270 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: that you never think about, and those are the weak 271 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: links that are actually gonna help your overall performance. So 272 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: when I was taking my apprenticeship, the gentleman that I 273 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: did my training with, Chris Robinson, is an athlete. He's 274 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: not a dancer, he doesn't come from that dance world. 275 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: He's actually a kickboxing champion and a track athlete and stuff. 276 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: And he basically said to me, stopped working out, stop 277 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: doing resistance training while you're doing this course, and so 278 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: you can get plotties quote unquote in your body. So 279 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: for eighteen months, I did no resistance training. I draw, 280 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: stop benishing, stop squads, stop those things. So I can 281 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: understand this and I wouldn't keep depending on my same 282 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: strong muscles and continue to not use my weaker muscles. Right, 283 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: and over the eighteen months, I lost about five pounds, 284 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: but I got faster playing my flight football league. I've 285 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: felt stronger. Every now and then I cheat and go 286 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: back and just touch the bench press, and my numbers 287 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: didn't go down like that. I was stronger in my 288 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: weakest links. So my overall strength didn't drop off, even 289 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: though I did lose a bit of body mass. I 290 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: love that and that and I told my wife, Yeah, 291 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: I to my wife, like, if I'm slower on the field, 292 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: I'm going back to lifting weights. Like if I see 293 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: my performance drop off, I'm dropping this plotting state. And 294 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: sure enough I was. I was better at every category 295 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: except for my mass. And you know what, that proves 296 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: that you trusted him. I always talking about trust on 297 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: this show, and I know you do too on yours. Um, 298 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: you gotta trust the process that you can't, you know, say, 299 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: the the outcome of the recipe isn't what you expected 300 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: when you didn't follow the recipe, right, So the fact 301 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: that you trusted him enough and listen, it's a vanity 302 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: thing again. If you could see Martin. Martin we hire him, 303 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: you know, both likes to be on TV because he 304 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: looks really good. He is muscular. He defies what you're 305 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: common kind of poods expectation would be for this instructor 306 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: but you trusted the guy, right, and that's a huge 307 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: thing and people have to trust you. Um. Let me 308 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: just go back to, uh, my experience and what you're 309 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: talking about with like the accessory muscles and weak links. 310 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: When I was taking that uh you know, going to 311 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: that studio in New York City Martin what what I 312 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: call it the box from Hell with the springs and 313 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: you stand on it in your cat che So I 314 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: get on this machine one of the first times. Now 315 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm hardcore into my iron Man training. This is back 316 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: when I was you know, I was doing everything performing 317 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: a pretty darn high level, I would like to say. 318 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: Got on this thing and the instructor said, okay, raise 319 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: your cats, you know, gave me a queue and I 320 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: said I and I said, I can't, and she said 321 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: and she said and she cut raised, you know, raise 322 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: your do a basically a calflif stand up. And I go, 323 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: I can't, and she put more. There's springs involved, right, 324 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: she put more springs on. I couldn't do this most 325 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: basic movie. It was so humbling. It was so humbling. 326 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: Now it's and as eyes Morton, I think that's it. 327 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: Guys don't want to be humbled, especially in a public situation. 328 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: Well that that's my experience. If you're asking what my 329 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: experience of going to flies was. I did a plot 330 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: ease for men class in air in air quotes, and 331 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,239 Speaker 1: it crushed me. And I was like, okay, and I 332 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: was coming off of playing football, university and all these 333 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: different things, and this class just crushed me. And I 334 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: was like, I'm coming back every week and I'm going 335 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: to own this because it owned me today. So at 336 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: the same sense of just being so humbled because I 337 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: couldn't do one move on one side of my body 338 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: and I could on the other side and I couldn't 339 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,719 Speaker 1: figure it out. And that's what hooked me and saying, Okay, 340 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: I have not master my body if I can't do 341 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: these things, and this is gonna help me get there. 342 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: And it's that mindset though, Martin, I think because you know, 343 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: as I was preparing for the show, and it's what 344 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: we think about all the time with parties, like what 345 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: is the reasons? What are the reasons more people don't 346 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: do it? There's the time component, there's oh that stuff, 347 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: but especially men, it's like, Okay, I'm not getting that 348 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: pump the way I thought it I would right it's 349 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: not your traditional strength training, and they don't see the 350 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: benefit right away and all that kind of stuff, and 351 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: it's so valuable. It's so valuable. It's it is. And 352 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: And well, when I'm speaking with people on my show 353 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: and I talked about their strategies for getting men into 354 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: their studios, I have to challenge a lot of people 355 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: because you think that you need to just crush every 356 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: guy who comes in. Let's make them really humble them. 357 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, if you make them feel good on 358 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: that first day, if they could walk out and they 359 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: have thorastic spine mobility, like can walk and they swing 360 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: their arms normally, or their gate is free er and 361 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: they could squat right down, they could touch their toes. 362 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: After the first session, they'll come back because they feel good, 363 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: and then you crush them on the second session. Right, So, 364 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: but you wrote them in if I recognized that they 365 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: can do things that body couldn't do before. That's what 366 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: plies helps you do. And I think that when it's 367 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: it's scary and you got these machines and there's this 368 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: movement and you are going to fail the first day, 369 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: So why not give people a few successes? Give them 370 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: carrot the first day and then start to challenge them 371 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: in ways that they feel comfortable instead of just proving 372 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: how much you know on day one, welcome them and 373 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: let them walk away feeling good, and then get them 374 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: into the process. That's how you build that trust. I 375 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: love that, and I alluded to it at the in 376 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: the intro, your intro and your bio. It's not surprising 377 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: you come from a counseling background, and I love that 378 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: because there's so much it's so easy to kill people. 379 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to do my nantucket camp Martin that 380 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: I've done for over twenty years, and you know, it 381 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: used to be called a boot camp, and I immediately said, 382 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: after one year of calling it that beach boot camp, 383 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: I go, no, Like, it's so easy to make someone 384 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: do too much of something. How do you, as you 385 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: just said, you know, give themselves efficacy, build them up, 386 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: challenge them Like that's really hard, and then to do 387 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: that in a group situation, it's brutally difficult. But I 388 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: love that, and it's no surprise that you kind of 389 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: take that mental and physical thing and you put it together. 390 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: It's so important. Yeah, you know, and that's I have 391 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: to give credit to one of my clients who was 392 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: a psychologist for that, when I introduced him to plot Ease, 393 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: we watched the first question is like, you know, I 394 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: feel good, but you didn't give me enough successes today. 395 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: Because as instructors, with six hours under your belts, you 396 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: want to cute everything. Do this, turn your toil that 397 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: that looks good, But can you reach a little taller? Now, 398 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: scoop into your belly, now turn your head like that? 399 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: Can you little? And then you give people cues for 400 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: one exercise and then you're like, okay, so the next 401 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: exercise is and and they never like, did I do 402 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: that right? We're moving on so they can get lost 403 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: in it. So I learned from him. Give people successes 404 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 1: que a couple of things, let them feel like they 405 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: have that self efficacy, like they know what they're doing. 406 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: They they're moving right in space. And then add the 407 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: next layer, and then add the next layer. And then 408 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: you see how you can do the same exercise over 409 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: five six weeks, and you keep introducing new pieces and 410 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: they get deeper into the work and it makes so 411 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: much sense in their body. They feel so much better 412 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, They feel taller, they feel like stronger, 413 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: they feel, and it comes from just introducing in a 414 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: proper way and giving people successes all along the way. 415 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: It's so important and so few people, I would argue, 416 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: accept the guests I have here on the show Martin 417 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: talk about that stuff, because there's so much to this, 418 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: and this is why when you go to a pilates 419 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: studio you want to go to someone like Martin who 420 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: gets it on so many levels, has done it, you know, 421 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: lives it. But most importantly, I would argue, along with 422 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: the training, understands the mental aspect. I love that you 423 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: had that experience with the psychologist. What a great lesson, 424 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: and that you weren't from it. A lot of instructors 425 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: would go, yeah, whatever, yeah, yeah, yeah whatever, I'm gonna 426 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: kill people. I'm gonna be known as the toughest trainer 427 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: or something like that. Right, I mean, so you have 428 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: to sit back and right like I like, I'm sure 429 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: you see it over yours years as well. It's a 430 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: cheap gift to make an exercise harder. Yeah, it's a 431 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: cheap gift, like when you can regress an exercise, when 432 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: you can find meet the person where they're at and 433 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: and get them to move and feel good. About that movement. 434 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: That's the highest calling as a trainer right there. Yeah, yeah, 435 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: quick story with that. And and it's it's really hard 436 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: in our business to to not you know, people are 437 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: paying a lot of money, right they come, and they 438 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: expect the expectations, like wait, you know my first day 439 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: of the Nantucket camp. It's a two week camp in 440 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: the sand. People have no concept that you and I 441 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: know Martin like, oh my gosh, working on the sand. 442 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: And they'll leave. And right before they leave, I say, listen, 443 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: you're gonna walk out of here and say, wow, that 444 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: was nothing. And then you're gonna wake up tomorrow and go, 445 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what happened? Right? And yeah, And I 446 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: don't I don't. I want you to be sore enough, 447 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: not so sore that you can't get out of bed 448 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: in the morning, but sore enough that I'm the first 449 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: thing you think about when you do. But you come back. 450 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: You have to come back, right Martin. I mean, I 451 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: just love it. Um. And one thing you know, you've 452 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 1: kind of I've been talking about that I don't think 453 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: people really grasp is the kin esthetic awareness along with strength. 454 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: So one thing that plot he is does so amazingly 455 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: is it. It connects you to your body. And we 456 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: hear those terms all the time, but until you do it, 457 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: you won't understand it. And it's just one of the 458 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: greatest gifts, as Martin's has been saying that you can 459 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: get because your your whole life is better. It is 460 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: and it translates to your whole life like it doesn't 461 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: like I don't do plotties that you can become a 462 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: good Plotties practitioner. I do plies that you can be 463 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: better in your everyday life. So whether you're an Olympian 464 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: or like your podium performance is chasing your grandchildren around 465 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: and not being sort of the next day, I want 466 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: your plies to be like, Okay, i'm driving, let me 467 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: sit taller, Okay I'm picking that up. Let me engage 468 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: my core first, Okay I'm reaching for that. Let me 469 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: make sure my shoulders sets so I don't pull my 470 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: back out. That's where all that connection comes, Like when 471 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: you translate what we do in the studio to your 472 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: everyday life and you you live your life connected Like 473 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: that's the way exactly and what I think people fail 474 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 1: to realize as well. Martin. It's like I talk about 475 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: the three reasons most people get into exercise look better, 476 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: feel better, a wave longer. Most often it's looked better. 477 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: At the start, you get the other two regardless, right, 478 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: So safely with plot is right. If you start because 479 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: you want to fix and injury, as many guys do, especially, 480 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: you get that, but you also get activities of daily 481 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: living are better, your sports perform, You get all of 482 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: the other things. Doesn't matter why you start, you get 483 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: all the other benefits. Yes, yeah, And the fun part 484 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: two is like when I have like women who come 485 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: in here and then they refer their husbands and significant others, 486 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: and then eventually the woman drops off and the guy 487 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: sticks around because they get it right. Why, Yeah, that 488 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: happens in group class a lot to Like women get 489 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: busy with their lives and the guys stick around because 490 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: and now finally it's in their body and makes sense 491 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: in their body, and they just feel better, like I mean, 492 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: because they're getting beat up. They're sitting at desk and 493 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: their stuff and then yes, like that injury they came with, 494 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: and they stick around because now they they just feel 495 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: better and they this is something neat at part of 496 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 1: their everyday life. That statistic is so huge it's with 497 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: yoga as well that uh, you know, men generally go 498 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: for two reasons, one of or two or both. It's 499 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: that they are brought in bias. You said, girlfriend, wife 500 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: or their doctor tells them they have to go right. 501 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: Usually it's both their doctors like enough, um, yeah, those 502 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: are my court order and people like all them. But 503 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: it's it's a testament to how good you are. I 504 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: have to throw that out there because the fact that 505 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: they stay, they stay, and to all the people who 506 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: are listening. You have to just like everything else, weight loss, 507 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: you have to give a time, you know, if you 508 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: do pilates, you know, once a week, even for you know, 509 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: four weeks first time, you're gonna feel better with the 510 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: right instructor, like Martin. But it's amazing how good you 511 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: can feel. And people don't know how good they can 512 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: feel Martin and you know, and and a quick story 513 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: with that. I teach a class, a community class at 514 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: a community center and it's one day a week, five o'clock, 515 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: you know, the pre pre pandemic. And there's people that 516 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: I know did not come in the gym but for 517 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: that one class once a week, and over the course 518 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: of the year, I noticed the body is changing. I 519 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: notice him getting stronger with one hour a week, right, 520 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: So it's not like, you know, even like they weren't 521 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: even doing their home they were just they just roll 522 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 1: into the class and rollout until next week, and they 523 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: were still changing. And I was like, Okay, that's powerful, 524 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: right If I know this is the only time that 525 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: you think about movements when you're with me for that 526 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: hour and you're still changing, Good on you, right, Like, 527 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: That's that's power of the system. And that's the that's 528 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: what's you know, uh, the systems theory that I talked 529 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: about frequently here Martin that like, you know, we have 530 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: all these arts. It is its strength, training, is it diet, 531 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: is it machines, it's everything, and it's self efficacy that 532 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: we'll keep talking about over and over in both our shows. 533 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: Because they take your class, they do it once a week, 534 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: they feel better about themselves. They leave, they make better 535 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: food choices, they move more throughout the day, they're better. 536 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: Like that's the difference that we have to you know, 537 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: and we are trying so hard to get across to 538 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: people that it's not about doing too much. It's there 539 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: are no small steps, no exactly. That's exactly, like we're 540 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: so aligned on that. Jill Supplies in his book Returned 541 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: to Life, talks about doing I think it's ten minutes 542 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: a day. It's such a low threshold entry point. It's 543 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: like it's so low because he believes that if you 544 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: even just do it for ten minutes, that's gonna make 545 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: you want to do more. As your body feels more, 546 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: it's going to start the momentum. How do we get 547 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: people consistent with practice as opposed to that personal training mindset, Well, 548 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: you have to just sign up with me three times 549 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: a week. So no, you just have to just move 550 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: just and just keep moving, right. And what I always say, 551 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: you heard me say it for hours on end when 552 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: we do the TV on the Shopper Tailor Canada, is 553 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: we have to take that word just out, you know, 554 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: just ten minutes, ten minutes. And as you said, it's 555 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: a gateway drug. It's a gateway drug. Right, you start 556 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: feeling good, right, I mean, you know, oh, I gotta 557 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: do an hour, I gotta go to the gym. I mean, 558 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: this is what I've been a broken record about for years. 559 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: All Right, people need to get much more from you 560 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: tell him about core conversations. Yeah, Core Conversations is an 561 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: Instagram ve show I do daily at ten o'clock and 562 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: I used that to just amplify other voices. I say, 563 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, I have all these different plies instructors and 564 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: people in the fitness in Tree and beyond, but I 565 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: highlight the plotties industry and just let people know the 566 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: man behind the brand, the woman behind the brand, you know, 567 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 1: and just hear their story. It's a lot easier to 568 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: understand and signed up with someone when you know a 569 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: little bit of their backstory, where they studied, what got 570 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: them into plotties, what pivots they made during this quarantine. 571 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: I've been doing that for a year now.

Plates I can't emphasize enough 660 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: how this is that second third level stuff, although it 661 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: shouldn't be to take you to just feeling incredible, performing incredible, 662 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: and that's activities of daily living as we talked about, 663 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: along with sports performance and when we find if you 664 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: can have access to someone like Martin in person, like 665 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: if you live in Canada or the Toronto area, amazing. 666 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: But as we talked about, you can now work with 667 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: someone like Martin remotely. That's insane. And that's why I 668 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: only bring you the best of the best because it's 669 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: too important. It's too important with your time and your 670 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: money and your self efficacy. I mean I say it 671 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: every interview. I bore myself by saying, you know, I 672 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: wish I could do three hours, you know, do the 673 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan interview with someone like Martin, But you guys 674 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: would kill me.

With all of the stuff that works, 679 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: you have to give a time, especially the stuff like 680 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,439 Speaker 1: pilates where you're just connecting to your muscles at the start, 681 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: neuromuscular facilitation, connections, all of these different techniques and things 682 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: that we do.
