1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have a theme song for Gideon,

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: but Body by Gideon Personal Trainer to the Stars, and me,

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: h is here high Gideon.

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 2: What's going on?

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Fred?

6
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: How you feeling?

7
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 3: Baby?

8
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Look a look at this guy? Look at this guy?

9
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Can you do? He just radiates happiness and positivity. And

10
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: it's so annoying because he's so good looking, and he

11
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: has this great smile and he sounds like that while

12
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm huffing and puffing and having a heart attack and

13
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: needing resuscitation, He's still smiling and sounding like that. Like

14
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: it's so frustrating, Gideon.

15
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: Fred is not frustrating. We have a good time when

16
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: never wear together. Sometimes you just don't realize it until

17
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: it's over.

18
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right. But we have our intern here, Bellahamine,

19
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: who answers the phone and responds to many of the

20
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: text messages. And you said to me the other day

21
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: that you want to go couch to Chicago marathon.

22
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: Right right, Well, not Chicago. I'm doing a half marathon

23
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 4: at the end of September.

24
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Okay, So you haven't from now May June July August,

25
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: so you have five months. Yeah, I've been a while

26
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: to run a half marathon. And so now tell Gideon

27
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: where we're at, because you've run how many marathons? Now? Six? Seven?

28
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: I run seven? But who's counting me?

29
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm counting. This guy's been la this guy's

30
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: done Chicago many times, he's done Houston, he's done New York. Wow,

31
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: he ran around the world one time. Yeah, I could

32
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: see that. He climbed out Everest six times. It's crazy

33
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: and all while I ran one mile, So it's crazy.

34
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: So where are we at in our journey so far?

35
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: Two days in?

36
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 4: We're about two days in right now, my back is

37
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: hurting like no other. I didn't know your back hurts

38
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 4: when you run, you guys, I didn't know the spots, everything,

39
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: everything hurts.

40
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: So how much have we run? Cumulatively?

41
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: Like?

42
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: What kind of running? What have we accomplished in two days?

43
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: We've done like a run walk walk, walk run kind

44
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: of a situation where I start to get embarrassed. The

45
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 4: people behind me are looking at me, They're like, why

46
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: is this girl just running and walking? So I like

47
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: motivate myself to keep running. But then I stopped because

48
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: we had.

49
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: To learn Gideon and said, and teach me, this is

50
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: no one's actually looking at you. You should just know.

51
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: And they might be, but they're not really internalizing, so

52
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: no one's really judging you. There's that That the right, right, Gideon.

53
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: That's correct. Everybody has their own problems and struggles and

54
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: no one's concerned about the other person.

55
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

56
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 4: That's my biggest thing is I feel like I look

57
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 4: like an idiot out there because I also run, like

58
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: my legs go like, uh, side to side, like they just.

59
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: Look a little silly. They go side to side.

60
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, that might be a something a horse.

61
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: And I just always ran like this and like people,

62
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 4: my friends always make fun of me, and it's like,

63
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 4: you know, I feel like people look at it when

64
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 4: they like, I run, my legs go out.

65
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: See. But here's the good news. The good news is

66
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: that you can blend in imagine me six five and

67
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: forty pounds like trotting down the lake. It's like, who

68
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: is this NBA player who's out of clearly out of

69
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: shape and hasn't been in the league in fifteen years?

70
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: Like that's what they look when they think of me.

71
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: And then they see this very good looking fit guy

72
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: and they're like he must be paying him, you know what.

73
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: It looks like we're on the lake front. It looks

74
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: like I hired someone to go on a date with me,

75
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because like no one is

76
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: No one is saying, like this guy, the tall like

77
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: guy that looks like a moron running that that man

78
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: is not electively training with him. Like no one thinks

79
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: that I'm coming, that he's coming to me for any

80
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: form of inspiration. Yes, so don't worry about how you look.

81
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 4: But I look like a sad child, you know. It's

82
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: like running away from home on.

83
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: The last like.

84
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: Their parents ever talked about to run, like just running

85
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: away from her trouble.

86
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: So Gideon, what should she do? Like what's the progression here?

87
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 6: Well, first and foremost, congratulations on making a decision and

88
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 6: working towards that, because a lot of people don't give

89
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 6: themselves credit for the fact that it takes some courage

90
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 6: to kind of put yourself out.

91
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: There, especially on the radio on the Fread Show. I know, Man,

92
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: just tell your friends and family that you had this

93
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: audacious goal and you're actually doing something to work towards it.

94
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: So big congratulations to you. And then I would say

95
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: that like this is a journey and it's not going

96
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: to be perfect. I say this a print all the time.

97
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: You're going to.

98
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: Stumble a little bit. You may feel awkward or it's

99
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: a cure at times, but you're doing something good for yourself,

100
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: and you're doing something that's going to challenge you and

101
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: change you positively.

102
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: So she's crying a lot.

103
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: That to be a reward, you know what I mean,

104
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: in its process, and you'll learn so much about yourself

105
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: as you go through it. So it's not going to

106
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: be perfect, but you will grow and you will be

107
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: glad that you took that first step.

108
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: Thank you, Gideon. I have one question for you that's

109
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 4: really like keeps me up at night about running. So

110
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: I look close to a path on the lake. But

111
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 4: I would like to run to the path, but there's lights,

112
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: like traffic lights.

113
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: What do you do? There's the stop light?

114
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: Like do I stop running?

115
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: You do what I do, and you pray that it

116
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: goes longer, but the traffic light lasts longer. You just pray.

117
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: You pray that, like not that anyone gets hurt in

118
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: the accident, but you pray for an accident that blocks

119
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: the road and then you have to go home. Now

120
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: what do you do getting so.

121
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: It depends on how you want to approach it. So

122
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: you can stand at the light and jog. I'm sure

123
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: you've seen that many times. But what I like to

124
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: do is I double back. You generally are going to

125
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: figure out how long these lights are, especially if that's

126
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: a normal path for you. So if I'm coming up

127
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: on the red light, I'll circle around, run back from

128
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: where I just came from. I kind of time it

129
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: up so that that lights in his green I'm pretty

130
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: close to circle back again, and now just make that cross.

131
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: So this way, I didn't break stride and I'm keeping

132
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: my energy moving forward.

133
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we don't want to break stride. We never

134
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: we never do that. Never do we break the stride

135
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: to stop with the hot dog standing, I have a

136
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: little something to eat. No man, because sometimes he tricks me.

137
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: He says we're running to raising canes, and I'm like,

138
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: we are, and then we never get there. We never

139
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: we never go there. Exit Yeah exactly. Okay. So then

140
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: as far as getting like for people who want to

141
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: get off the couch and then go to a like

142
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: let's say a five K or me next month there

143
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: you go do it? So like okay, so maybe five

144
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: k's like the first goal, So then what would be like,

145
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: how would we, in simple terms, get there from couch

146
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: to five k with a stroller? Because that's okay.

147
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: By the way, I think you should share those details

148
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: on when this five k is gonna be because I

149
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: may show up and we.

150
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: May have some of the thirteen that want to join

151
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: you in support too.

152
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: That's the thing very illegal now that biggest past it

153
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: in the city council. Yeah, how do you do that?

154
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: I'll say this anybody, anybody who's looking to get off

155
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: the couch and get going.

156
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: Needs to do just that.

157
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: Bella, I love your approach of running and walking. People

158
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 2: don't give walking enough credit. Like that is a great

159
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: way to start, a great way to break up your

160
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: run so that you're not doing too much too soon.

161
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: I know you were saying that your back is hurting,

162
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: and I know you're pushing yourself at certain times because

163
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: you maybe feel insecure that other people are watching and judging.

164
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: But take those walks, take those breaks, and watch how

165
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: your endurance improves, and then you can actually make a

166
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: note on how you improving in the fact that you

167
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: don't have to walk as much or walk as long

168
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: over time. So just getting started and giving yourself a

169
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: lot of grace in this process, especially if it's something

170
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: that you haven't done in a while or ever have done,

171
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: because you just need that great that time that's going

172
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: to allow you to make those developments and changes later.

173
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: So just get going.

174
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 6: Just get going.

175
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: Grab a friend or two, a family member, some type

176
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: of support system, right, and like I said, do something

177
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: that's going to be fun, encouraging with your dog, with

178
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: your child, by yourself, with friends, and put it out there.

179
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: Like oftentimes, we hold ourselves accountable more when other people

180
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: know that we have this big goal and they're going

181
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: to be checking in on us.

182
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: See, I agree with what he said because you and

183
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: I have the same problem, bell and we're worried about

184
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: what other people think. Yeah, and you should see me

185
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: like when a pretty girl's running like the opposite direction,

186
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: like towards us. Oh my god, my form is on point.

187
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm running like the wind. I'm running. I look like

188
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Usain Bolt for the amount of time until the very

189
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: moment she crosses in her back and then I collapse,

190
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: actually physically collapse, and I need to be resuscitated. Gideon

191
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: knows CPR. I learned. So that's exciting, and he carries

192
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: a demipulator with him, which is wild. I didn't know

193
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: that until I needed so it's true. But Gideon is

194
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: the best, and we're holding you accountable. You can do this,

195

00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 4: That's what I'm telling people, because I want to be

197
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: held accountable.

198
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: That's what I did too. I went on the radio

199
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: and said I'm gonna lose thirty pounds because I wanted

200
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: to gi. I had to because he looks stupid. If

00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, I pay him to be my friend, and

204
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: he shows up and I have no choice and he

205
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: doesn't let me make excuses. I'll be like, I don't know.

206
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, we're going and then before long
