1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of My Heart Radio. 2 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland and this is Fitness Disrupted. I 3 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: come from a large family, five boys, five brothers, six 4 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: boys total, and most are involved in some aspect of 5 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: the financial industry of investing stock markets stuff. My dad 6 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: included I'm the black sheep who went the fitness route. 7 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: But they're connected. They're absolutely connected, and we don't approach 8 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: it that way unfortunately. And that's the problem is that 9 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: we're shortsighted. Human nature takes over. We don't invest in 10 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: our health the way we try to accumulate wealth. And 11 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: there is the saying that many people spend the first 12 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: half of their life accumulating wealth at the expense of 13 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: their health, and the second half of their life trying 14 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: to get it back their health. That is, so we 15 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: need to take the opposite approach, or look at it 16 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: the exact way we do accumulating wealth. You have to 17 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: invest in your health. One of the problems is we 18 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: don't have to worry the way we did many many 19 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: hundreds and thousands of years ago about being eaten by 20 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: a tiger, about worrying about where we're going to get 21 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: our food from, our next meal, we're very comfortable. And 22 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: that's a huge problem. And human nature is what it is, 23 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: such that we don't worry about it until it's too late, 24 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: until it's a problem, until we get injured and have 25 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: to go to rehab for a muscular issue, until we 26 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: get sick and have to change our diets to accommodate 27 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: the illness and to try to fix it. And so yes, 28 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: we should. You should approach your health and wellness as 29 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: if you are. I'm gonna say already six it is 30 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: not coming out the right way, but you know the point, 31 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: do it before it's a problem, prehab versus rehab when 32 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: it comes to exercise, and the same thing with your diet. 33 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: And what happens when you are diagnosed And this tough 34 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: topic and I have a family member who's recently diagnosed 35 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: with something and kind of push this topic to the 36 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 1: top of the pile for podcasts. But what happens when 37 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: you are diagnosed with a similar common issue. I don't 38 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: want to get into specifics, but you know what I'm 39 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: talking about. You don't go on these deprivation diets. What 40 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: do you do? What does your doctor tell you to do? 41 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: For the most part, eat healthy, fruits and vegetables, lean 42 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: sources of protein, healthy fats, lots of water, get rest, 43 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: all those things that we should be doing before we 44 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: get sick, before we get injured. So that's today's show, 45 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: reiterating hammering home and telling you how to do it. 46 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: You don't have to spend a lot of money, but 47 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: there is value in investing, and I will talk about 48 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: that in certain areas for obvious reasons. All right, So 49 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: it's about doing now what you would do if and 50 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: when you had that issue, and many of you have already. 51 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: But that's the other frightening aspect of human nature. As 52 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: we forget. We forget that's a good thing and a 53 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: bad thing. We don't want to remember. Pain part of 54 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: evolution as well, but in today's world, that is a 55 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: huge problem with our health. Okay, quick break, you're gonna 56 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: get right into it, and'm gonna talk about how you 57 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: should go about beginning to investing in your health, where 58 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: you should do it, how you should do it, and 59 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: why you should do it. I meanther why should be obvious, 60 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: but many most are not doing it the way I'm 61 00:04:49,600 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: going to describe. Quick break. We'll be right back. Yeah, 62 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: the other wine I love when it comes to investing 63 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: in your health is if you think being healthy is expensive, 64 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: wait until you get sick. And I'm a really positive 65 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: person if you haven't noticed that from all my other 66 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: podcasts accentuate the positive control attitude. That's up to me. 67 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: How I react to things, how I decide to go 68 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: through life. But I have to talk about being sick, 69 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: because that is what this whole topic is about, investing 70 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: in your health. And that is why I have such 71 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: a problem with the bad science and with the articles 72 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: and people and doctors telling you you have no control. 73 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: Your genetics are a death sentence in some regards. It's 74 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: not true. And so the most important thing that you 75 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: need to embrace, and this is how I start my 76 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: most recent book, The micro Workout Plan. It is so 77 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: essential that you what that you believe you have control, 78 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: that you believe that exercising and eating healthy makes a difference, 79 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: because it does a huge difference in preventing disease, in 80 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: preventing so many different negative health outcomes, but so many 81 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: people don't believe that. Had one client out of the 82 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: thousands I worked with over the years, who I so 83 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: vividly remember sticking out as someone who said talking about cancer, 84 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: and that believe that there's nothing you could do about 85 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: any of those diseases, that nothing you did could make 86 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: a difference. It's a huge problem because it's not true. 87 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: But far too many people actually believe that because there 88 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: aren't enough articles, aren't enough people telling you otherwise, over 89 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: and over and over again, that every single workout matters, 90 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: that every single workout counts, and that yes, we need 91 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: to be a healthy weight coming up more and more 92 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: now with COVID and the issues with being overweight and 93 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: all the you know, negative outcomes that that came about 94 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: with COVID and being unhealthy or not being as healthy 95 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: as we could be, making excuses people, and that is 96 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: beyond wrong on so many levels. So it matters. Exercise 97 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: and eating healthy matters. Every single time you eat a 98 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: healthy meal, you have done something great for your body. 99 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: Every single time you eat that apple, you have that salad, 100 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: it is just as effective, if not more so, than 101 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: a workout, depending on what the goals are, weight loss, 102 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, different health outcomes, blood pressure, all of those things, 103 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: and so we need to invest in our health. That 104 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: is the topic of today. But I need to hammer 105 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: home over and over again that you have control how 106 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: much you move, what you put into your mouths, and 107 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: and your attitude, and all three of those things, all 108 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: three of those things will help prevent disease, will help 109 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: prevent injury, will help you live a longer life and 110 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: improve your quality of life while you are on this earth. 111 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: And so how do we start? You start with what 112 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: you eat? You know, and preparing my notes and outlined 113 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: for the show. So how am I gonna are? You 114 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: start with what you eat because it makes the biggest 115 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: impact right away. Exercise is super important people, But when 116 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: it comes to weight loss, which so many of you 117 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: are interested in, and that's important, it's about what you eat. 118 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: It is exponentially easier to keep five colories out of 119 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: your mouth, and it is to burn it off. That 120 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: is about an hour of exercise for most people. And 121 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: and you know, moderate exercise. I don't care what your 122 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: trackers and your machines are telling you more than that 123 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: quite often. So when you eat healthy, you are decreasing 124 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: your colork intake for the most part, and you are 125 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: feeding your body really important nutrients that help prevent disease. 126 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: And that has not talked about enough. And that is 127 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: why when I talk about intermittent fasting topic for another day. 128 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: But when people ask me about intermittent fasting, I say, sure, 129 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: you can start that. We can talk about the benefits 130 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: of going periods of time without eating, But you can't 131 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: start that if you haven't already started eating healthy because 132 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: if you're intermittent fast and eat processed foods after or primarily, 133 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: what's the point. Sure, you're gonna lose weight, but you're 134 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: not feeding your body healthy things, protective nutrients, phytochemicals. So 135 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: what's most important first is that you feed your body 136 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: healthy things. And here's the great thing. When you start 137 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: feeding your body healthy things, you're not gonna worry about 138 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: intermittent fasting for the most part, because you can feel 139 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: good and you're gonna be a healthy weight. So you 140 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: start with what you eat. It makes the biggest difference 141 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: right away on so many levels, weight loss, being a 142 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: a healthy weight, feeling good about yourself, and feeding your 143 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: body healthy things. Leave it at that, So you want 144 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: to start there. And so what are the two excuses 145 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: people make generally when it comes to exercise and eating healthy. Well, 146 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to exercise, it's I don't have the time. 147 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: And COVID has taught us that that's not true because 148 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: suddenly everyone's home, and what do they talk about. The 149 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: COVID fifteen has nothing to do with time. There's nothing 150 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: to do with time. Has to do with you making 151 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: the time, has to do with you believing that five minutes, 152 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: ten minutes, fifteen minutes throughout the day makes a difference. 153 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: You don't have to go to the gym if you 154 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: don't want to. You don't have to do an hour 155 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: if you don't want to. You need to move. You 156 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: need to eat healthy, so exercise. You don't have the time. 157 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: That's the number one excuse has been since the beginning 158 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: of time, and the second one for eating healthy. It's 159 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: too expensive, right, it's too expensive, which on so many 160 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: levels if you actually looked at what you spend your 161 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: money on food is as well. It's not true. Now, 162 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: that's not to say that there are numerous fast food 163 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: companies that have ridiculously inexpensive processed foods totally you know, 164 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: dollar dollar menu, absolutely, and that's a problem, it's absolutely 165 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: a problem. But you can also do the same with 166 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: healthy foods. So many different foods you can buy in bulk, 167 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: you can buy in large quantities and different you know, 168 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: you would talk oatmeal things like that.

We'll be 198 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: right back talking about investing in your health. It is 199 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: such an important topic not talked about enough in the 200 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: right way, because this is exactly what we should be 201 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: spending our money and our time on. And it truly 202 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: goes back to human nature is we don't worry about 203 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: it till it's an issue, you know, keep hesitating to 204 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: say till it's too late. But it's true. And that 205 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: is totally connected to your belief that investing in your 206 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: health makes a difference, that eating that food makes a difference. 207 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: And that's why I do all these shows on eggs, 208 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: on on the protective elements of fruits and vegetables, and 209 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: that's why I gets so angry when I hear these 210 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: fitness medical experts talk about fruit being bad for you 211 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: and sugar and all the garbage is literally hurting you. 212 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: They're telling you not to consume something that is going 213 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: to help better your life and extend your life. And 214 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: then same thing holds true with exercise. When I hear 215 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: this garbage about card I don't do cardio. That's that's 216 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: good for you. Really, you don't exercise, you don't get 217 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: that heart rate up, you don't strengthen your heart. All right, 218 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: before I start to get angry, enough on a tangent, 219 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: So we talked about I talked about you know, start 220 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: by what you eat and buying in bulk. Find the 221 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: foods you like, the healthy foods, and when you find them, 222 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: buy in bulk. I was at the getting ahead of 223 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: myself again, that's the way it works. Uh the supermarket 224 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: yesterday and I bought a handful of things that I like, 225 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: but it was just one thing. But I'm getting aht 226 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: of myself. So we'll say that, all right, So you 227 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: buy in bulk. That can be large sizes, that can 228 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: be quantity. You buy what you like that is healthy 229 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: in book that is going to be less expensive, and 230 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: it's going to be in the house which is so 231 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: important that you have it there to grab when you 232 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: need it. And secondly, you prepare ahead of time. In Book, 233 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: I cook at least a dozen eggs every Sunday night 234 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: for my boys and myself. I will grilled chicken in bulk. 235 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't do one or two, you do six or eight, 236 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: and then you have it ready to go. Investing in 237 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: your health and when you buy meets if you're a 238 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: meat person, if you're not, if you're again vegetarian, whatever, 239 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: you buy all of that in bulk, so it's there 240 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: and I cook. In Book, I made a huge thing 241 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: of pasta, which was interesting. I had plant based pasta, 242 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: but then I used some special grass fed beef and 243 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: some peas and things like that. But it made an 244 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: enormous bowl and my kids ate it, and I have 245 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: a lot left over again that I will be able 246 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: to serve them after they come home from school. It's 247 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: ready to go. That makes all the difference. And one 248 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: little aside on that. I actually posted a picture to 249 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: a sports nutrition little group that I am a member of, 250 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: and the administrator, who's a friend and a sports nutritionist 251 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: as well, what was the term she used. It's something 252 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: to do with like a one meet, one bowl meal 253 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: or something like that. Basically, it was getting everything at 254 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: one time. And another topic, Actually, this could be a 255 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: fit tip for kids. You know, if if I had 256 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: meat and pasta and peas separate, the chances of them 257 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: eating all three. It's a night you know with kids. 258 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: All the you who have children, kids, you say you 259 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: gotta finish your peas, you gotta finish your pasta, you 260 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: gotta finish your meat. So any time. My point is 261 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: that I can put them all together. That is one 262 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: of those common sensical things. Simple, get effective. That's what works, 263 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: all right. Third point about starting with what you eat. 264 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: Invest in equipment, and it doesn't have to be expensive. 265 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: I'm super lazy when I talk about hard boiling eggs. 266 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't even want to put water into a a 267 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: a pot and wait for it to all that kind 268 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: of stuff. I have an egg cooker which costs I 269 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: think twenty dollars. It looks like an egg and it 270 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: takes seven eggs and I pour water in and I 271 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: put the top on, and I flip a switch and 272 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: it beats when it's done. And I do that twice eggs. 273 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: I'm good to go on Sunday twenty bucks. I've used 274 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: it for a couple of years now. I think it's 275 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: on its last legs, but I will invest twenty bucks again. 276 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: So blenders, egg cookers, slow cookers, whatever you are going 277 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: to use, that is where you invest your money. Do 278 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: you want that vite A mix? Talk about vite Mix 279 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: all the time. I am so cheap. I would never 280 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: buy that for myself. I had a client by it 281 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: for me years ago. I rarely use it. I was 282 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: on the QBC in in Canada, the equivalent with the 283 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: vite A Mix person. We traded off every hour doing shows. 284 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: Have he got me so jazzed up to use it again? 285 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: I got home, I shopped. I'm lazy. I used it 286 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: like twice. So this is a great example of you 287 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: find what works for you. And if you buy a 288 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: Vita Mix, if you want that and you're gonna use 289 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: it every day or you know, multiple times per week, 290 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: then it's worth it. And that's how we're going to 291 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: finish up the show is talking about that. But something 292 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: you will use, invest in that equipment. If you're like 293 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: me and super lazy, it's a twenty dollar egg cooker. 294 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: If you love you know, blenders and things like that. Awesome, 295 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: that's investing in your health, something you will use to 296 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: prepare healthy foods. Have to throw this in there. It's 297 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: not supplements. Just did a show on the plant and 298 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: veggie supplements. Please a hundred dollars a month. Hundred dollars 299 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: for something that is not what they say. It is 300 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: not even close. I can't believe they get away with 301 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: saying what they do. Take that hundred dollars and buy 302 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: the egg cooker. Take that hundred dollars and put it 303 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: towards a vitemics. You are so much better off. Fourth point, 304 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm okay with home delivery of foods. When I was 305 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: a trainer many years ago and I just started, I 306 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: remember how incredible it was that you could actually have 307 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: someone cook for you and deliver it to your door. 308 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: And so when I was a trainer and was working 309 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: with you know, some high profile clients at their homes 310 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: to jump start their program, we would often do that 311 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: for two, three, four weeks, and it was five meals 312 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: and they were tiny, and the client would freak out 313 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: and go, really, this is the portion size. Now those 314 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: are ubiquitous. Now those are everywhere, and they're not half 315 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: the price that they used to be. I'm okay with that. 316 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: That's investing in your health. Now. Ideally I would like 317 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: that to be a jump start for you. But I 318 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: have friends that do that for their whole family when 319 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: they're busy, and they're healthy options, and they're not that 320 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: expensive relatively speaking. But with the expense point, it's your health. 321 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: It's your health. So I'm gonna keep hammering that home. 322 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: And that is the takeaway from all of this is 323 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: that you should never feel guilty about investing in your health. Ever. 324 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: Oh you bought, you bought something was really healthy for 325 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: you and your family, and you know you had to 326 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: deliver to your door. That's okay, that's that's that's okay, 327 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: all right. And the final point here on the food 328 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: end is tied into all of this pay for convenience. 329 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: I'm so lazy when it comes to preparing food for myself. 330 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: So what I was alluding to earlier, I went to 331 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: the supermarket, local supermarket that I go to. They have 332 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: pre made salads. I found one, a new one that 333 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: has I don't even know what it is, that unbelievable 334 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: addicted to this salad is my point. I bought like 335 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: seven yesterday convenience, and now every day that is what 336 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have for lunch for a week. Could I 337 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: make it myself? Absolutely not. No, I'm not gonna do it. 338 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna shop for all those ingredients. It's not 339 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: gonna taste the same way. And sure would it be 340 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: a couple of dollars less. Absolutely? I know that I 341 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: have seven launches that are super healthy for me. And 342 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: it's maybe fifteen dollars extra, maybe a little bit more, 343 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: but it's worth it. It's worth it. What am I 344 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: gonna spend my money on if it's not what I 345 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: put into my mouth? What is more important than what 346 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: we put into our bodies? So pay for convenience, whether 347 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: that's a protein drink, a green drink, you know, a 348 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: beat drink. I had a local store I used to 349 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: go to every day that made my green and red 350 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: drink because I wasn't gonna do it in my vite 351 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: mix I tried. I even have a juicer client bought 352 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: me many years ago. I had good clients. I used 353 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: to like three times. That was a nightmare with like 354 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: paper and the cleanup ever gonna happen? Did I feel 355 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: guilty about getting my red drink and green drink there 356 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: every day. Absolutely not that's what I spend my money 357 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: on being healthy and other things. But that's where I start, 358 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: and that's where you should start, because it is the 359 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: most important thing if you don't have your health. We 360 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: hear this all the time to actually invest in their health. 361 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: With that in mind that if you don't have your health, 362 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: you don't have anything. It's true to stop feeling guilty 363 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: for investing in your health, buying that salad, getting that 364 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: green drink. It's the last thing you should feel guilty about. 365 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: Think of all the other things you spend money on, 366 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: and you know what, in the long run, it will 367 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: pay off incredibly. All right, switching gears really quickly. Exercise, 368 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: You got to invest in your health there. So you 369 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: start with food. Start with food, and then the exercise questions. 370 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: You have to ask yourself how are you gonna burn calories? 371 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: And how are you going to build strength? It goes 372 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: to the shows I've done on how to build your 373 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: home gym, what you should do totally connected but important. 374 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: So how are you gonna burn calories? How are you 375 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: going to strengthen your heart? Are you gonna do your 376 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: cardio vascular exercise and how are you going to build strength, 377 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: build muscle, So the strength in the cardio component first 378 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: and foremost. If you're a walker, if you're somewhere who's 379 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: a runner, shooes, invest in those shoes, good shoes, shoes 380 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: that work for you and get outside or do what 381 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: you need to do in those shoes. So shoes where 382 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: you start really important. Right if you want to go 383 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: barefoot and you're you're a barefoot person on the beach, 384 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: things like that again topic for another day, but I'm 385 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: not going along barefoot. And then we got to talk 386 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: about cardio for the home, all right, especially with COVID 387 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: and how that has totally changed the landscape of home 388 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: gyms and home workout and gyms in general. This is 389 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: where you're going to invest. This is where you're gonna 390 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: spend some money you don't have to, But your heart 391 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: is your most important muscle. So if you're gonna buy 392 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: that bike, that treadmill, that rower, that is where you're 393 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna spend extra. That's where you're going to invest in 394 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: your health. But this is where gonna say what am 395 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: I actually going to use? So when people say, Tom, 396 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: what do you think about this bike or this treadmill 397 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: or this rower. I say, what do you like to do? 398 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: Because yes, these can be and you should actually spend 399 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more because you get what you pay for. 400 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: You don't want a fifty dollar treadmill, obviously, but this 401 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: is generally speaking, going to be your biggest investment and 402 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: the most important, and it's worth it. And listen, you 403 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: can finance most of these products. And what is that 404 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: payment every month? That is your gym payment? You know? 405 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: I say this when I go on the shopping channels 406 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: and sell these bigger pieces of equipment, they often have 407 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: a payment plan through the qvc hs N shopping channel 408 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: them on in Canada, they have payment plans. You can 409 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: spread it out and it's gonna sound crazy, but even 410 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: if you can pay for it all up front, there's 411 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: something to be said for spreading it out and taking 412 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: that payment plan. You know why, You're gonna see that 413 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: a month. I'm going to see that whatever it is, 414 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: that's your home Jim payment. And even if it's as 415 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: opposed to nine dollars that you have at your gym 416 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: that you go to once a week, once a month, 417 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: once every couple of months, it is in your home. 418 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: And when you stick with it when you use it 419 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: frequently and other family members use it frequently, and then 420 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: it's paid off and then you haven't you paid off 421 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: in two years, a year or whatever. That it's yours 422 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: if you have the subscription services, as so many of 423 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: them do now, and I'll talk about that quickly. The content, Okay, 424 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: it's a couple of dollars extraly that keeps going, but 425 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: it's worth it and you use it and it's effective. 426 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: So think about that cardio for the home. That's your 427 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: biggest piece, that's your biggest piece, that's your biggest investment, 428 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: and it's the most important. Now. Strength is super important, 429 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: so let's go there. Actually, first let me talk about 430 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: the content real quickly. So content for the bike, for 431 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: the rower, for the treadmill. You have that option now 432 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: and that's important. You can be coached, you can be entertained, 433 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: so many different ways to uh utilize and purchase content 434 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: and that's awesome. So think about that as well. What 435 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: are you going to use now? Strength side, I'm a 436 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: big dumbbell person. I'm a huge dumbbells because you can 437 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: do so many things with it and they're so inexpensive. 438 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: Just gotta um email from someone who listened to the 439 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: podcast saying, you know which dumbbells do you recommend? So 440 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: many different options. I'll leave it at that inexpensive. You 441 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: can spend more with the selectorized dumbells, and that's a 442 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: great option if you're in the market for that, and 443 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: you should invest in that if you're going to use it. 444 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is you need some strength, and 445 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: so that's a great place to start. You don't have 446 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: to get this huge multi station home Jim that you 447 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 1: don't even see those much anymore because people want smaller 448 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: spaces and it's about the content. And so you've got 449 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: your cardio, you invest in your health at home, and 450 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: then you've got your strength. Dumbbells. I've talked about bands 451 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: before again, super inexpensive strength. Now if you want to 452 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: buy barbells, you want the rack system, you want some 453 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: of these really you know, cutting edge home content delivery systems. 454 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that as well. Awesome, what are 455 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: you going to use? And many of them have trials. 456 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: Now people again, the yeah butts are gone, no more excuses. 457 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: You need to invest in your health and that goes 458 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: for the healthy eating, That goes for the cardio and 459 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: that goes for the strength. So this is where it 460 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: goes back to the show I did on the five 461 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: Components of fitness. This is what you need to do, 462 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: the five components of fitness, right, and how do you 463 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: do that? You invest in all of those components. Now, 464 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: you can go to the gym. If you love going 465 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: to the gym, go to the gym. That's an investment, 466 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: but I don't want you spending that money if you're 467 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: not using it. I would much rather you figure out 468 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: what you're going to use at home. And COVID has 469 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: taught so many of you how valuable you know. I've 470 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: been saying this for years, years, working with different companies 471 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: and just in general because that's what I've done and 472 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: believed in for decades. Sure gyms are worthwhile, but it's 473 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: exercising at home that micro workouts you're gonna do more frequently, 474 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: be more consistent with, and you're gonna get the most 475 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: out of. So the cardio for their home, the strength 476 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: for the home. Invest in that. But I do want 477 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: you to sit down and really think about what you 478 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: enjoy and what you are going to use. And if 479 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: you buy a three thousand dollar treadmill that you use frequently. 480 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: That is money incredibly well spent, especially because those are 481 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: going to last years. And so you do the math 482 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: on what you would spend on a gym membership, on 483 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: some goofy supplements, all of those things that so many 484 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: people try to get that quick fix with and don't use. 485 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: If you spend the money on something you use frequently 486 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: and it's expensive, it is worth every single penny, all right. 487 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: So that's where I'm gonna end. This go on and 488 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: on and on, and I know it tortures many of you, 489 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: but the takeaway from today's show is that there is 490 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: no money spent even here. This will probably be counterintuitive. 491 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: So you've purchased equipment in the past that you haven't used, 492 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: I get it. Don't consider that failure. It wasn't the 493 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: right piece of equipment, or it wasn't the right time 494 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: and the right time, because on many levels you may 495 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: not have known what to do with it. Now with 496 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: all the content you have, you may have a treadmill 497 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: and elliptical and you go, oh my gosh, now I 498 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: can work out with this content with this instructor. But 499 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: there is no failure. You didn't fail because you purchased 500 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: something and tried to be healthy when it's exercise equipment, 501 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: and truthfully, the exercise equipment is the harder thing. So 502 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: in other words, you can take You spend money on 503 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: those ridiculous supplements that do absolutely nothing because you just 504 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: pop them. It's easier. You feel like you did something 505 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: healthy and they told you you did.

You realize that's not for you. 512 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: But don't wait until it's too late.
