I love that. 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: I know you're from Italy and so the actual pronunciation 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: of your name is a little bit more Italian correct. 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: Yes, right, So I was born and raised in Italy, 13 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 2: and my mom's Italian. When she named me, she named 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 2: me thinking like we're going to be in Italy, So 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: if we were in Italy, I would be I would 16 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: be Selena Samuela. 17 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 4: But like, that's really not the easiest a name pronounce 18 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 4: for an American. But you absolutely nailed it. 19 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 3: You know, we're doing our best. 20 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: Say, I'm so excited to have you here for so 21 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: many reasons. You know, you do so many inspiring classes 22 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: on Peloton, and I feel like Peloton is one of 23 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: those forums in which you know, people taking your classes 24 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: feel such a connection with the instructors. It feels like, oh, 25 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: I know, Salna, I know you know so and so 26 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: and such and such because of that connection. But how 27 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: did you first get involved in Peloton? 28 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a really long story. So I moved 29 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: to New York from Hawaii. I had gone to school 30 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: there and I I really just like felt drawn to 31 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: the arts and I had the big dreams of being 32 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: an actor, writer, director, and all those things. So I 33 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: moved to the city. I went to Stella Adler Studio 34 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: of Acting. I you know, was trying to audition and 35 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: it just like, you know, it was really hard. It 36 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: wasn't getting gigs. Eventually, I found myself teaching fitness. I 37 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: got my certification as a personal trainer, which is also 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: a crazy way that I got there because I wasn't 39 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: getting jobs and I wanted to get my foot in 40 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: the door and I wanted to get I wanted to 41 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: get my bagcard. And one of my friends was a 42 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: stunt coordinator and he was like, you know, you're really 43 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: fit and you're active in fitness. He's like, why don't 44 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: you try doing some stunt work, and like that's a 45 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: way to get your foot in the door and like 46 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: maybe from there you can build and start an acting career. 47 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, amazing, great idea. So he 48 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: was like, you really have to perfect a fight technique. 49 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: And I was like, all right, Well, I was doing 50 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 2: some boxing for fitness at the time, so I was like, 51 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 2: all right, let me dig into boxing. So I really 52 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 2: dug into boxing.

And I competed as a 59 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: boxer for a little bit and that kind of led 60 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: me into teaching fitness because I was working in like 61 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: restaurants and stuff at the time, and it just wasn't 62 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: like aligning with it wasn't just aligning with who I 63 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: was as a person, right because you're working late at 64 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: night and then you know, it's just really hard to 65 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: have like a healthy schedule and a healthy lifestyle when 66 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: you're working those kinds of jobs.

And I think the what I 266 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: took away from that is that you can't assign yourself 267 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: an experience. 268 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 4: If you do that, you're going to set yourself up. 269 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 2: For probably disappointment, especially with something like having a baby. 270 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 4: It's so unpredictable. 271 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: Pregnancy is really unpredictable, and you know, it's really magical 272 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: and wonderful, but it can also be. 273 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: Kind of scary in that way. 274 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: Sure, and you just don't know how your body's going 275 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,239 Speaker 2: to react to that experience. 276 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 4: You also don't know if. 277 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: You'll have a c section or a naturally, there's so 278 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: many things that can happen in the process, and so yeah, 279 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: I like I really did That was the mistake I 280 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: made is that I like assigned myself a postpartum experience, 281 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: I'm like, this is how it's going to be, and 282 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: then as soon as I have you know, and then 283 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to start training on this day and then 284 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: dada da, and it was just like really unrealistic to 285 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 2: the experience I had. And sure, like I'll just I'm 286 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: going to just say it, like I gained seventy pounds 287 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: in my in my pregnancy, which is you know, it's 288 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: not nothing like, it's it's above what was recommended. And 289 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: granted I had a very healthy baby and everything was okay, 290 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: but it made it a lot more challenging to get 291 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 2: back to the physical activities that I had planned for myself, right, 292 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 2: and that was how my body reacted to pregnancy, and 293 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 2: that is what like, and thank God, like, you know, 294 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 2: I had this beautiful, healthy baby, and so I'm not complaining, 295 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: but it was certainly a challenge that I didn't expect 296 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: to to deal with, and so training for a triathlon 297 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: didn't make sense in the timeframe that I thought didn't 298 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: make sense. But what did end up working out was, 299 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 2: you know, by the time I saw the New York 300 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: City Marathon was coming up in November, so by the 301 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: time I was like maybe six and a half months postpartum, 302 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: which was the time that I would have had this 303 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: triathlon insane, right, because you have to train. So it's like, yeah, 304 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: I thought I was going to start training for this 305 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: triathlon at like two months postpartum, Like no, no, no, 306 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: But that was more more realistic, and so I didn't. 307 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: That made so much more sense for me, And I 308 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: was really happy that I was able to kind of 309 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: let go of this idea of the triathlon give myself 310 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 2: some grace because of what it did is it allowed 311 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: space for this other really great achievement that I accomplished 312 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: that I'm super proud of, was running a marathon ten 313 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: months postpartum. And honestly, like, when I think back on it, 314 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, that was like that was so amazing. 315 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: But at the time, like in the very beginning, I 316 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: was so hard on myself about not, you know, being 317 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: not being able to train for this triathlon. I remember 318 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: feeling so upset with myself that my body wasn't like 319 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 2: cooperate essentially cooperating with me. But what I learned is 320 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: that it my body was cooperating with me actually gave 321 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: me an enormous gift of my son. Yeah, and it 322 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: was just doing its thing in the time that it 323 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: needed to do. And so yeah, not assigning yourself an experience, 324 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: I think is kind of the best way to go 325 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: and to kind of just like work with it day 326 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: by day and just. 327 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: Yeah and just loking. I mean that's thing too. I 328 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: Mean we see, you know, covering the Giants. You see 329 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: so many football players go through these injuries and come 330 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: back and say, Okay, I'm going to be ready to 331 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: play by this day.

But 365 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: that was actually that, you know, that contributed to why 366 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: I had to like kind of let go of some 367 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 2: of the ego when I ran the New York City 368 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: Marathon after having my baby, because I knew even though 369 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: I was yes ready to train for something like that, 370 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 2: I wasn't ready to train for it at the paces 371 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: that would have been competitive with like my last marathon. 372 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: Right, I was ready to set that standard for yourself 373 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: in a way, yeah, exactly. 374 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 4: So I had to you know, I had to shift, 375 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 4: I had to adjust. 376 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: I had to say, Okay, well, what is what is 377 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: possible for me right now, and then like and then 378 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: push a little bit past that. Right. So then it 379 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: was just kind of like, okay, let's do the thing 380 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: that's just that's going to keep my body running, going 381 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: to keep me healthy so I can continue to teach classes, 382 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 2: but this is also going to get me across that 383 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: finish line. And so I you know, I trained at 384 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: a pace that was like way slower than anything I'd 385 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: ever trained at before, but it was it made sense 386 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: for me, and I had nice, solid, even splits, and 387 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: I cross the finish line with a smile and could 388 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: go and hang out with my son and play with 389 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: them after the race, and that was that was the goal. 390 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 4: And yeah, it was great. 391 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: Is there you know something that you've learned about yourself 392 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: in you know, the last five ten years, perhaps that 393 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: you think, wow, this is something that has changed my view, 394 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: and this is something that I find so important to 395 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: share with the audience that I've built. 396 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: That's an interesting question. I think off the top of 397 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: my head. And I guess this is more personal, because 398 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: I think this can very personal person But for me personally, 399 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 2: I've found that allowing myself to be vulnerable and to 400 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: share my stories, my various stories through life experiences has 401 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: been to great personal benefit. But I also feel like 402 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: it's allowed me to grow in community. I'll give you 403 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 2: an example of what I'm talking about, because that sounds 404 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: really vague, but I recently went through pregnancy loss and 405 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: I felt, you know, at the time when it happened, 406 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 2: I felt so alone and isolated, and that got me thinking, Like, 407 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 2: you know, I did some research on it, obviously and 408 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: found that so many women actually go through it and it. 409 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 4: Is such a common thing. 410 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 2: So I chose to share about that experience, even though 411 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 2: it was really scary thing to do. But I had 412 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 2: planned and as like one would, you know, I'd planned 413 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 2: to announce my pregnancy and I had shared that with 414 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: my employer, and like we had a date set for 415 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: when I was going to announce my pregnancy, like in 416 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 2: my second trimester, and you know, I ended up using 417 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: that date to actually announce my loss, and my loss 418 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 2: happened pretty close. It was, I was an early second 419 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 2: trimester pregnancy loss. And so I used that date and 420 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: I felt really empowered by this because I felt that 421 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: so many women go through an experience like this, feeling isolated, 422 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 2: feeling like they don't have community. And think about it, like, 423 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: your entire first trimester, you're hiding that you're pregnant, and 424 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 2: you're hiding that you're pregnant because like probably to avoid 425 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: any sort of like public like okay display of like 426 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 2: or whatever, you know, when. 427 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 4: If in case you do lose a baby. 428 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: And usually they say once you get out of the 429 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: first trimester, it's like you're in the clear. 430 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 4: You're in the clear, right. But I thought about it, 431 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 4: and I was like, but what an isolating thing it 432 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 4: is for all of us, Like, so we're you know, 433 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 4: we're hiding. 434 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 2: The first trimester can be the hardest trimester for a 435 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 2: lot of us, right, because you're sick all the time, 436 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: You're you're essentially kind of like lying about why you're 437 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: not having a drink or you're fake drinking, and you're 438 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 2: like there're so there are all these like aspects to 439 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: it that just like don't feel awesome, right, You're like, oh, yeah, 440 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: I must have eaten something bad and that's why I'm 441 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: throwing up in the middle of a meeting. Me. 442 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. So it's just like so already the already 443 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 4: just like having to like. 444 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 2: Kind of this, you know, this this essentially hiding of 445 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: like the fact that you're going through this this first 446 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: trimester and you're going through it and it sucks and 447 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: you can't like lean on people while you're like, you know, 448 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: lean on your community is already difficult enough, and then 449 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 2: when you go through a loss, you're for isolated because 450 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I just went through this horrible first trimester, 451 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 2: and now I'm going through this terrible thing, and I 452 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 2: can't share about that either, because then that's you know, 453 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: that's taboo and it's like weird and people don't want 454 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 2: to do so I was just like, you know what, 455 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 2: I think we should really if this is such a 456 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 2: normal thing. I should hate to say normal, because it's 457 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 2: it's a horrible and common as the word, right, If 458 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 2: this is such a common thing and so many of 459 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: us are going through this, I think that we should. 460 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 4: Be We should feel able to we should feel that 461 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 4: we could. 462 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: Be in community on this topic, and that we shouldn't 463 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: feel afraid to share these things and we should feel 464 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 2: empowered to share them. So I shared about it, and 465 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 2: the response that I got was overwhelming. Thousands of people 466 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 2: reached out sharing their own stories, and it wasn't like, 467 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't It wasn't like something that you 468 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 2: would expect where you're like, oh, this is so sad 469 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 2: and I'm going to feel sad. 470 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 4: All the stories are stories. 471 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 3: Of hope I had. 472 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 2: You know, I went through a loss and then I 473 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: had my baby six months later, or I had my 474 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 2: rainbow baby six months later, or I went through a 475 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: loss and then I adopted my son like a year later, 476 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: and like all these wonderful stories of like there's light 477 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 2: on the other side of this, which was so helpful 478 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 2: for me, and I think it was healing for just 479 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 2: the folks in my community as well, where they were 480 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: able to share about their stories.

I'm curious too, how do you translate that 650 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: to the peloton app and different? Like is it okay, 651 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: let's do this exercise and do you tell people this 652 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: is how it helps your swing or. 653 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 3: Are you how do you translate? Yeah? 654 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 2: Kind of so like in the program, I talk about 655 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: kinematic sequence, and I talk about like essentially what the 656 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: ideal way it is for your body to move to 657 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 2: create like the best, the more optimal like swing, right, 658 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 2: and everyone has different everybody will have a different swing. 659 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: There's no swing that's alike, right, And so depending on 660 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,239 Speaker 2: what your body can do is going to depend on 661 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 2: what your swing is going to be. And so you 662 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: want to like work with what you got essentially, but 663 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 2: at the same time, you want to also try to 664 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 2: heighten whatever it is. So like here's an example, say 665 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 2: you find that you have you don't have a lot 666 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: of great rotation with your upper body, and you would 667 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,239 Speaker 2: probably want to focus on like mobility work that's going 668 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 2: to help you get that rotation. 669 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: It's so interesting too, because the New York City Marathon 670 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: was recently just you know, relatively within the last few days. 671 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 4: Weeks. 672 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 3: Where are we in time? 673 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: I don't know it was it was two weeks ago, Yeah, 674 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: it was like no last week, it was last Yeah, 675 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that have happened, and like 676 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: time is expanding. 677 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 2: It was the third of November, I know that, depending 678 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 2: on what day it is today. 679 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 3: So we just had the New York City Marathon early November. 680 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I, much like many New Yorkers, decided I 681 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: want to run a marathon. And I have seen and 682 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: I've gone through this motion so many times as a 683 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: just lay person who you know, tried to get out 684 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: of running the mile every week in te and suddenly 685 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: after college was like, you know what, maybe I could 686 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: be an athlete, you know. And every time I've thought 687 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: I want to run a marathon, I was like, I'll 688 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: train for a half marathon, I'll do that, and then 689 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: I'll do a whole one. I've run a handful of 690 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: half marathons, and every time I have finished a half marathon, 691 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: I think I cannot imagine doing that Twice. I feel 692 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: like though there's some level of just a mental hurdle 693 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: there too. And you know when you've got you know, 694 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: people in your classes or people you're coaching or people 695 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: you're working with that are like, this is the goal 696 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: I have, but I am hitting this mental block here. 697 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if my body is physically capable of it. 698 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: How do you encourage people to get over those mental blocks, 699 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: whether they be in running, in fitness, in life? 700 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 3: What have you? 701 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? 702 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: I mean, to be honest, we have so many members 703 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: that it's rare that I have people well, at least 704 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 2: not during class time right, they'll make it come up afterwards. 705 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 4: But yeah, I I guess. 706 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 2: Like the mental wall thing is very real. I think 707 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 2: like anything else, it's it's kind of like you make 708 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 2: you make when you decide to try something new, right, 709 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: Like whether it's if you said, Okay, I'm gonna try 710 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 2: this marathon, but it's scary, Like first of all, you 711 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: made the choice to to tempt this new thing. Good 712 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 2: on you, Like you're amazing just for being brave enough 713 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 2: to say I'm gonna try something new. 714 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 4: And then if it scares you, good right, it should. 715 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, because if it didn't scare you, then that probably 716 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,719 Speaker 2: you need to shoot for something higher. 717 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: Then there's a lot of growth in it. 718 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: And I think you got to make peace with the 719 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: fact that not everyone is going to win their first marathon, 720 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: unlike some people at this table right here. I cannot 721 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: get over how impressive that is. I know you can 722 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: minimize and say, oh, there's only four people in Nova Scotia, whatever, 723 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: that is still wow. That is such an accomplishment and 724 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: just kind of facing these and tackle these hurdles and 725 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: life and all that kind of stuff.
