Welcome to Fit to Be Real and a little extra.
Happy day everyone.
Happy day.
Oh happy day.
Oh I like the key you chose.
Choices.
What are we talking about today?
What are we getting into?
Fitness.
What?
Fitness.
How to get started and make your own fitness routine.
And if you've already started how to make your own fitness program.
I honestly, I'm going to be honest with you.
Honestly.
Thank you for your transparency.
I've been talking to people recently and you know people come up to us all the time when we're out in the wild.
It is the only thing they want to talk about.
It is the only thing they want to talk about and which is fine.
That's what we're here for.
But a lot of them say, oh my gosh, we keep meaning to come to your classes.
We're going to come.
Okay.
But I don't know how to start.
What do you, what should I start with?
And that's like the most general question.
Paying for it.
Sign up online.
Or I started and stopped so many times like I just can't figure out what I need to do.
Cause a lot of people have a lot of goals.
Different goals and it's overwhelming.
So not that you can't ask us that when we're out in the wild.
Totally ask us that.
But it's been happening a lot lately.
I was just been with a bunch of moms that were like, we've been looking on your website.
We just don't know where to start.
Well, you can do it yourself.
We're going to tell you how.
But also like, don't talk to us about this.
Like if you're out and you're with an accountant, don't talk to them about your taxes.
They don't care.
They're not behind a desk.
You know, but if you're in Seafit, we're more than happy to answer your questions.
That's not the wild.
When we, well, things get wild in there.
But when we're at the grocery store, we don't care what's in your cart.
Okay.
And when we're out at a bar or restaurant and you're having a burger with fries,
kudos to you.
Yeah.
Cause so are we.
No judgment.
You're doing it right.
That is the wild.
It did.
Yeah.
Just life.
Yeah.
In real.
I call them real people clothes.
Hmm.
We don't go out in real people.
Hmm.
We don't go out in real people clothes either.
I just showed somebody in my closet who hadn't seen the house for the first time and she
was like, oh my gosh, the amount of clothes.
And I said, yes, do you see all these clothes?
I wear what's in this one drawer, Seafit shirts and leggings.
I mean, your closet is like a sight to see.
Right.
But I don't wear any of it because I don't go out in the wild.
Well, for instance, we have a wedding, a family wedding coming up and I needed to
dress because shopping in the wild is like the main of my existence.
And I tried it and there's nothing.
So I shopped in Carly's closet.
She did.
And there are tags on tag.
Like it was an actual store.
I.
And I was like, you don't wear, you've never worn this.
Well, well, I don't get invited to black tie events very often.
But even just like other dresses where you were like, yes, I bought this in 2021 in the
month of October.
Yeah.
Well, I listen, that is my guilty pleasure other than Bravo.
My guilty pleasure is plethora.
I do love plethora.
I have a lot of plethora also in my closet.
My guilty pleasure is shopping and then my problem is I don't have anywhere to go.
Make a place to go.
I know.
I keep meaning to like have a date night with Andrew, but I don't know if that's going to happen.
Oh my God, I will babysit.
Stop it.
Okay.
We're sidetracked.
We're going to get into this.
It's important because it's for your future.
Okay.
Buckle up buttercup.
I was hoping you would go there.
No.
I'm Victoria.
Hey guys, I'm Carly.
And today we're going to talk about fitness.
So you know, there are so many benefits to a program.
However, it is difficult to start.
What we want to do with you today is talk about how you can start it all on your own.
Yes, there are so many platforms out there that will help you do this, but guess what?
You can figure it out for yourself with a pen and a piece of paper and yourself.
Really?
There's everybody can have an app these days.
Like any fitness company, any singular fitness coach or studio or whatever it may be, that
doesn't mean they're acclaimed.
That doesn't mean they have the answers.
And that doesn't mean that's going to be the right program for you just because, oh, look,
I have an app like to a degree.
It almost feels like, oh, well, they must.
They must know what's going on.
Exactly.
You know, and that's not the case.
So putting money and sometimes they're really expensive.
I know.
And so putting money into somebody an influencer, whatever it is an app because it just seems
like if you have an app, you've got the answers for me and you're the fix.
It's not the case.
So yes, pen and paper, do it yourself and start there.
And then you can, you know, and even grow your branches.
Oh, God.
Wow.
That was a little woo-woo for me.
But even if you've started a fitness program and you've been working out for years, you
might have gotten lost in translation basically, and you're all over the place with your workouts.
You're all over the place with your nutrition and you start a little bit here.
You start a little bit there.
We're going to start with what we're going to say because there's just so much information.
Yes.
So you're like, oh, you want it.
You're doing that.
You think I should do that.
I'm going to do that too.
And then you don't follow through because there's 12 other things that just came into your view
that are telling you that you should actually, this needs to be your important, you know,
part of the piece or puzzle piece.
Yeah.
Do you ever see those influencers or people online that are like so clever and it's so
great to follow or like find these videos that you're like, I was thinking that, but
you did it.
And like, I love that.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Anything that's funny.
Yes.
But they're like, oh, you can't have an egg every day for your cholesterol.
But wait, I'm sorry.
What did you just say?
You can't have an egg every day.
Oh, okay.
So, you know, you have to raise your, like your cholesterol will rise is that I'm so
sorry to tell you that I heard you go, I don't know.
I don't know.
I never did.
I had no idea what you said.
Honestly, God, it was a run on word because they talk fast.
So I was acting.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
You did not use your degree to its full potential.
Go ahead.
Not book the job.
Start over.
Thank you for my second chance.
My name is Traya Mayo.
I'm five foot four and here are my 16 bars.
They're like, you they just battle off all the things that you can't do and that you
should do, but it contradicts everything.
Right.
Like you can't have an egg every day because your cholesterol is going to rise, but you
really should have eggs because it's the best form of protein to start your day in
the morning.
And too much water.
You could put yourself into shock and drain your electrolytes, but you have to have a
gallon of water a day or else you're not going to survive.
And like the back and forth and it's everything that you hear and then also everything that's
like, it's not, it's not true.
It just, you have to do what works for you.
I know everything's so trendy and it's hard to find the facts in all of the fiction online,
which makes it hard to follow through on your own program when you're trying to take pieces
of it all and put it together.
Right.
And then your brain becomes scrambled eggs.
Don't eat them every day.
You know, it's the new speaking of scrambled scrambled oatmeal is the new thing.
What the heck is that?
It's putting like making your oatmeal.
First of all, don't look so disgusted.
You have no idea what it sounds.
Gross.
It's, it looks amazing in the video.
Okay.
It's all about how it looks.
Go ahead and make your, you make your oatmeal and then you put it in a frying pan and you
add like the nuts and the cinnamon and the berries and you just kind of like scramble it up.
Okay.
I was thinking that you make oatmeal and you scramble eggs and you put it together.
That's why I made that face.
No, you were be wrong.
I was assuming and you know what assuming does.
Makes an ass out of you and me.
And there goes that E right on the podcast.
All right, let's start.
So number one in making your fitness program.
I'm ignoring her.
Whether you're starting out, whether you're mid workout, whether you're in advanced level,
measure your fitness level.
So how you do that, how you do that, how you be doing that is that was good.
Man, I was both the job.
It was something.
Yeah.
I'm going to get canceled.
I'm going to call back.
Yep.
Your pulse rate before and right after you walk a mile.
Oh, so check your pulse before and after just one mile and see what it is.
How long it takes to walk a mile.
That's really, really important.
Yeah.
For me, it's long.
Really?
Mm hmm.
To walk to walk a mile.
Mm hmm.
Okay.
How many pushups you can do modified.
Okay, and how well you move through a full range of motion in your hips,
knees, ankles, shoulders and elbows.
Now there are many exercises you can do for that squats burpees, you know,
everything your waist circumference and your body mass index.
Now that's a little tougher if you don't have a scale that does BMI.
Yeah, there's a formula to do that, but I can guarantee the normal person is
not going to do that to do that.
So, so if you want to do measure your fitness level, do those previous things
that I said and that you create a benchmark.
So you're going to go back to all of that mid, let's say four to six months
from now and see how much you've made progress.
Yeah.
And that would be sort of the beginning of your.
Measuring.
Yeah, your progression.
I also want to say BMI is very important.
Yeah.
It's important to know like how much fat your body has versus how much muscle
versus whatever.
But when you go to the doctor and they do all of your like health checkups,
which apparently we should do every year.
Apparently.
Don't listen to them.
When they tell you you're morbidly obese in whatever version of yourself
that you're in and it's like one number over whatever the BMI.
The BMI scale needs to change.
It's people have been saying that for years and years that the BMI everyone's obese.
Mm hmm.
Everyone.
Yeah.
Everyone needs to be in a sport athletic body to be healthy according to the BMI
that your doctor is going to like talk to you about.
And that's not that's not true.
Right.
We're not all going to be somombials and even somombials has an off season.
Right.
And she I would guarantee is not, you know, imperfect mint condition at that time.
So the BMI take it with a grain of salt and do not leave the doctor's office
completely depressed when they tell you.
Are you looking in the mirror right now?
I just I have a lot of clients that are like, well, I went to the doctor and I'm
like, you went to the doctor and they told you that and you were like,
I'm in my healthiest state right now.
Yeah.
And I was very thin, not necessarily healthy, but I was thin and I was like,
I'm not obese.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I know.
That's yeah.
Well, that's a good tip because it can really mess with your head.
Yeah.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Number two.
I'm going to say this differently every now and what they want.
Design your own fitness program.
So you need to first this is where the pen and paper comes to play.
You need to take out a pen, take out a paper.
Done.
Step one.
Easy.
Right down your fitness goals.
Yeah.
Write them down.
What are they?
Is it to get stronger?
Is it to lose weight?
Is it to have endurance because you can't get through that walk a mile.
You can't get through that run a mile.
Like those are all different.
Some of them work together.
Some of them don't.
So, you know, if you're trying to get endurance and be like in a fitness
competition, those things are different.
Yeah.
Those are going to compete with each other.
So you need to write them down.
I slapped my fist because I'm like,
yeah, do it.
Really?
We can hear.
We can get the full effect.
There we go.
Yeah.
Very good.
Even if it's just I want to get down on the ground and play with the grandchildren
or the kids and get up with ease.
Like that's a that's a proper goal.
That's a huge thing.
And that is also for longevity.
So even if you're in your 20s, you have to think about later on and not necessarily
like in the moment of like this stage of your life.
And I guarantee you a lot of you are sitting here going, I want to lose weight.
I mean, that is the number one thing.
Yeah.
And goal everybody wants to do.
And that's fine.
Write it down.
And then you can start to figure out how to go about it instead of just being like,
I want to lose weight and throw it up into the clouds and just like hope that the idea
comes to you on how you're going to do that.
Yeah.
I do that a lot.
Yeah, we do.
We do want to pay for this.
Somehow the clouds take my money.
It does the opposite.
Yeah.
So then you want to make a balanced routine.
So you have to figure out how many, how many hours a week you can work out.
Yeah.
And usually for beginners, especially if you're new to a program, we say make it
two times a week.
Just make it two times.
Yeah.
Because you have a lot of seven days.
Yeah.
Come on.
But then you have to come more consistently.
Yeah.
We just got to look come on.
You're shit together two times.
And I said to somebody last night and she's newer.
I said, oh my gosh, this is your third time this week.
Yeah.
Good for you.
So now she's up to three and that's what you want to go for progression, not perfection.
Like you're not going to go seven days a week.
Say it again.
Progression, not perfection.
See fit.
Oh, yes.
I saw the like bomb explode at the end.
And my face.
Yeah.
See fit.
Yeah.
I was ignoring the face.
I'm like, keep going.
But that's but that's real because seven.
Sure is.
But that's real guys.
It is real.
You're not going to go.
This is what happens in a lot of people do this.
We've seen it time and time again.
People come and they come six days right in a row.
They start out with a bang.
They want to lose weight.
They want to get healthy.
They want to get strong and then we never see them again.
Yeah.
The stamina of that unless you have a job.
That your hours are so flexible or you are jobless for your
hours are very flexible.
That's impossible to keep.
In the beginning.
Yeah.
In the beginning of starting a program.
It's it's just something that is like you're going to burn out
a little too quickly.
Yeah, you don't want to burn out and that's something that we
tell people like, oh my gosh.
Whoa, you've done so many this week.
We don't want you to burn out.
We want you to keep coming.
We want you to sustain this.
So like take it easy for a little bit.
Yeah, yourself up for success, you know, and that's exactly
what the next one is.
Start slow and go forward and then keep adding on, adding
on and that's fine.
And then you'll realize where the balance is because then
you'll go hard and then you'll come back.
You'll also learn like what doesn't work for you and what
does work for you that way and be like, you know what?
I really didn't like to do it on Tuesday morning.
I prefer to do it Tuesday night and like you kind of play
with it.
Right.
And then yeah, yeah, you're so good at this.
Yeah.
So in saying that you want to allow time for the next week
and you want to allow time for recovery.
Say it to yourself for the back.
Carly.
I don't have any mirrors here today, so I'm going to say it
to you because I don't like to listen to myself.
Recovery is so important.
It's not even.
It's not even funny.
Like it's not even a joke.
You have to rest.
You have to.
You shouldn't.
You have to rest in in the workouts itself.
Like there has to be that bell curve of like you dip down
so that you can go back up with the heart rate and then
also in your schedule, there has to be a day of rest and it
can be active rest.
Right.
It can be active rest, which is a walk or yoga class or a
Pilates class or a bar class, which if you come to see
if it's like a very active rest anywhere else, it's probably
chill.
So there has to be a day where you let your body soak in all
the good work that you're doing so that it can start up again
and continue to push at its best ability versus wearing it
down to nothing.
And that's also with getting overwhelmed and going too
hard too fast and then not wanting to continue.
Yeah.
Because you're sore and you're like, wow, and you're not
going to see progress when you're going, going, going,
going, your body doesn't have time to make the progress.
So then you're going to quit because you're like, I'm not
seeing any results and I'm going hard seven days a week.
So there's like a lot to that.
Your body's like, bitch, slow down.
Yeah.
I'm like, give me a second.
Wow.
Your body's mean.
Yeah.
But that's an attitude.
That's, she totally has an attitude.
I've been trying to control it for years.
It's impossible.
Moving on.
Gather equipment.
So if you're planning on working out at home or alone or
you're going to add in workouts at home when you can't make
it to class, you need to make sure you have the right equipment.
I actually have a brand new client that is starting to
work out for the first time in her life in her fifties and
walking is kind of like the norm, but she wanted to get better
at that and in turn start weights and all that stuff.
So she started exactly this that she's now on number three,
gathering equipment.
Nice.
And she has like a little home gym in a room that was
probably used to be an office, something like that.
And she just came in today and said, I got 12 pounds.
I have fives and eights.
Like we did a whole list of what she has at home and it's
enough to make great workouts and they're lighter.
She has now seven weeks in been confident enough to buy a set
of 12 pounds and she's bypassed 10 pounds.
Yeah.
She already had eights and fives.
And so she was like, I'm just going to put the eights and fives
in the basement.
I said, oh, no, no, no, no, keep them in that room because
there are some days that you want to do lighter weight and
and so that the next day you can do the heavy weight and feel
okay.
Right.
So you got to keep them all.
Don't, you know, don't get rid of the light stuff once you
started advancing, but it's such a cool thing to see when you
start to feel more confident and then you kind of make it like
you get excited to go into that room in your house.
Yeah.
You know, that it was cool.
I'm telling you the best thing is seeing yourself get better.
When you notice it in yourself, when I see people up their
weights in our weight classes and they're excited about it,
that is so that's the best because it's like, yes, you can
do this.
You got, but sometimes people need that little push.
Yeah.
I mean, I know I need it.
Yeah, it's been 78 weeks.
I'm trying.
I'm really trying.
At some point it will kick in.
Number four, get started.
Stop thinking about it.
Just as Nike says, do it.
Okay.
Just do it.
Monday is always going to be too late to start.
You know, like, I'll do it on Monday.
I'll start on Monday.
I know.
I'll get through this day.
I'll start on Monday.
Everyone's favorite thing to say.
Don't start on Monday.
Don't start in January.
Start right now.
Cause why not?
Literally why not?
Yeah.
You can start it on a Wednesday.
Wednesdays are great.
Thursdays are even better.
Yeah.
Do it.
Should we go through each one?
No.
So you want to, as we said, start slowly and build it up
gradually.
Break it up.
If you can't do an hour workout in the morning and that's
what you want to do because you really want to get that
cardio in too because you're trying to lose weight or you
want to do some weights and cardio break it up.
Do cardio in the morning, weights at night.
Do weights in the morning and do a little run in the
afternoon for 30 minutes.
Like break it up.
It's okay to do that.
Don't feel like you're like, oh man, I don't have two hours
to work out right now.
There is no.
It's better to do weights before you eat and cardio after
you eat and a morning workout versus a night workout.
Like there's no rhyme or reason to that.
Don't listen to anybody online that says you got to do it
this way for the maximum burn, blah, blah, blah.
You put in the activity at the time that you can put in
the activity and your body will respond.
Right.
Fact done.
Mike drop.
Like there's nothing else to say about that.
Yeah.
Mike drop.
Oh, what did I say?
Drop Mike.
And the last one in your personalized that you
personalized for yourself fitness program.
Check your progress so that that little outline we gave
you in the beginning.
Go walk that mile.
See how much faster you got to some measurements because
guess what the scale might not change in six weeks, but
your measurements will your whole body will and I've said
this before when I first started working out, I did not
lose one pound, but I lost four dress sizes and I was like,
how is this possible?
Because my weight went all over the place and started
turning into muscle.
Yeah.
But I leaned out and people don't realize that.
And also it takes more than a week.
It you need.
What is that thing?
You know, I love referencing memes on Instagram that you
don't know.
Yep.
I'm making up these numbers.
So it's two weeks for you to notice.
Yes.
So it takes two weeks for you to notice your own body
change when you start taking care of it.
It takes four weeks for your close friends and family that
you see all the time to start to notice how you're dressing
in the wild with your real people clothes, you know, and
then it takes like six to eight weeks for the rest of the
world that doesn't know you to just notice that you're a fit
person and healthy, right?
So it takes time and that's not a perfect measurement.
Like don't go into two weeks being like, I see nothing.
Right.
Like I'm not a part of the right statistic.
I'm sorry.
You know, I'm going back to district.
I love it.
To district statistic.
It's not.
It's just take it for the grain salt, but two weeks at
minimum with consistency.
Well, also, side note, we're just talking about a fitness
program here.
We are not talking about a nutrition program.
Right.
So if you're doing this fitness program for yourself, you
planned it all out.
You're doing three to five workouts a week.
You've changed everything, but you haven't changed your
new trick.
Oh my God.
Can we not talk today?
Your nutrition.
Then guess what?
Nothing will change.
Yeah.
So you have to make sure that that's part of your new
program and that's completely different.
We are specifically talking about fitness.
We've said it a lot.
I'm going to say it again.
When we lived in New York separately, but we have the
same experience.
We were working out and teaching cardio, straight
cardio classes, hours and hours and hours a week.
Like at the end of the day, you're drained.
You can't do anything else.
We used to throw up.
We used to.
Oh my God.
We used to.
We used to vomit.
Carly has stepped off of subway cars to throw up the
trash to get back on the subway car.
Yep.
And.
Oh my God.
Because the cardio was so intense and we were doing
so many hours of it a day.
There's nothing.
There's nothing worse than that.
And I was like, oh, that's just my job.
It's just.
I remember like trying to get the key in the door faster
and when you're trying to do that, like you can't you
can't do it efficiently and finally getting in and
immediately turning into the bathroom.
And thank God I made it and just yeah, opening up the
toilet.
So welcome to our world.
But we were doing this strenuous cardio and pushing
our body and doing all these things, but I was not in
good shape.
No, I was not healthy.
I was actually not losing weight and I wasn't gaining
weight, but like everything was just like not good.
Yeah.
Well, you would get home at the end of the day and then
you would order sushi and you would order food and you
would eat all these horrible things.
The food part of our life was not on par with the
fitness part.
So nothing was changing.
Right.
And it wasn't until we changed our food or a decade
later that our body actually started to respond and
change because the food, if whatever you're eating
right now needs to change, if you're trying to change
your body composition.
If you're trying to maintain, go for it.
You do you.
But if you, if your goal from step one is to lose weight,
you've got to also change your nutrition.
Yeah.
You know, we don't want you throwing up because your
workouts are so hard, but then you go home and eat a
burger and french fries because you're like, I need to
replenish what I just vomited.
Yeah.
It's the mentality really because we were like, well,
we work out so hard.
We just like, this is fine.
I deserve this entire thing of cookie dough.
It's fine.
But yeah, you can't do that.
So yeah.
So basically long story short, this is strictly to
create your own fitness program.
Get a book, write it down.
What are your goals?
Write it down every, you know, every week.
I did this, this, this, this and this six weeks.
You can look back and be like, oh man, this week I
really fell off or this week I went way too hard.
So I didn't want to work out following week.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like a journal.
Yeah.
It's a fitness journal.
Do you ever see?
Well, we haven't been to the gym in a long time, but
even at CrossFit gyms or wherever you people could
do it at Seafit if they wanted to, they have a notebook.
Like people that are serious at the gym like Billy, our
brother, our brother has a legit notebook.
It is a notepad dedicated to justice and it's a Bible.
Like don't lose that.
Don't touch it.
It is something that he needs when he goes.
Why?
Because it's exactly what we've mapped out.
It is what he did day to day to know what to do the
next day and he's like a lifter.
So it's that's a little bit more specific than just
starting a workout routine, but he has, hey, this is where
I was six weeks ago.
This is what I was lifting.
Now I'm able to do this.
Right.
I was really slow on my cardio and my stamina, but I started
doing like mile runs in the middle of everything and now
I can do a two mile run.
Like he has the stats for himself.
So if you ever see that at the gym, it's not because these
guys are like trying to steal your workout.
Right.
They're trying to check their progress.
It's exactly what this is because it's a thing.
It's an actual thing.
Um, Carly's not making it up.
No, I swear.
I swear.
And if you've been working out for 10 years, it's still do
this, write it down, check your progress because you might
have been working out for 10 years and you're like, I'm
all over the map.
Yeah.
I'm, I don't know where my fitness progress has been.
Like I can sort of tell that I've lost weight or whatever
the case may be.
Start day one like you are new and see what happens.
Yeah.
And then it becomes habit and routine and it's a part of
your life that isn't an inconvenience or you can't really
like one day off, you're going to feel it.
Like, you know, yeah, I've talked to, uh, I know list.
One of our C fitters up list has said this many times
before I workout because I get to not because I have to
like you're able to you're able to and that is something
that I think about all the time.
I have to actively tell myself.
I get to do this.
Yeah.
I don't have to do this.
It's an opportunity.
Right.
So if you think it, if you just twist it a little bit, it
might help you get over that hump and just say, all right,
I'm going to start today.
Yeah.
It's, it's like if someone invites you to have, oh, I
don't, this isn't a life of mine, but someone, someone
invited you somewhere.
Now this is not any life that I live.
I was thinking we're like a nine to five or in the city.
She's cute.
She wears pencil skirts and you're, you're in a musical.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And somebody, you know, invites you to happy hour, but you
know that you have to get your workout in for your, like
you're in it and it's part of your life and you're like, well,
I can meet you at this time, but at five I can't.
So you have to change the conversation to I can't.
I have to work out.
I have to do this too.
Oh, I get to work out at five.
So you know what?
I can meet you at eight.
Yeah.
Or instead, you know, I'm going to do my workout at 7am so
that I can go right from work to my happy hour.
Things have to change that, that phrase.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Yeah.
Like that is.
You're crushing it.
Like, I know wisdom today.
Nothing, because I keep reading that.
It keeps coming up on like the algorithm of my Instagram.
Yeah.
It's not going to change.
If you don't change nothing will.
Right.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
She just said that.
I said it differently, but that's the truth.
So it's an opportunity, but I really like that.
So list.
You got something going on there.
It's an opportunity to get up every single morning, which we
take for granted.
It's an opportunity to do all of the menial tasks that we get
to do.
And it is sure shooting an opportunity to get to work out
because your body is able.
It may not be in the version that you want it to be in, but
it can be in the version that you want it to be in.
If you look at everything as an opportunity.
So this.
I know we're sort of saying the same thing, but this is
something I've realized just in the past couple of weeks.
When I go to the grocery store, I actually think about lifting
weights when I take the grocery bags in the house.
It's like a joke because you know how you have to take all
of the men at once and one trip only.
Yeah, but I think about it.
I'm like, yes, I got like 12 bags.
You know, like my fingers are falling off, but I got them
like I'm so strong.
And the other day I squatted down to talk to Dean and I in
the past was like, Oh my gosh, how am I going to get back up
and I popped right back up.
Yeah.
And that's a that's a real issue people have.
They can't get down to talk to their kids because they can't
get back up.
Yeah.
And I can easily do that.
And I think those benefits we forget about and you want to
continue to easily do that well into your 60s and 70s.
Yeah.
Without hesitation.
Right.
So yeah, that's yeah.
Don't forget about those, you know, daily things that people
take for granted.
Those are those are really important.
I mean, there's a lot of people that cannot say that they
cannot say it for whatever reason.
They cannot say that I get the opportunity to easily catapult
me into ABC and D.
So if you have the opportunity, meaning your body is able,
you got to take it.
Yeah.
You got to take it.
So make it work for yourself.
Write it down.
And do it.
Your real tip.
Welcome back to Real Tips.
And Action Tips.
Your real tip of the day is to go to write aid or CVS or
Walgreens or Dwayne Reed.
Go to a store and get a notebook and a pen.
Something that excites you.
It could be Lisa Frank.
It could be regular marble.
It can be aliens.
It doesn't matter.
Get something that you're like, this is for this fitness
routine, this progress only.
And get excited about it.
Keep it in the car.
If you're going to someplace, keep it in the car and don't
look at it.
Put it underneath the driver seat.
I meant always keep it in the car.
If your fitness program is somewhere else and not in your
basement.
If it's in the basement, keep it in the basement.
If it's in the basement, keep it in your car.
And now for your real extra tip of the week.
It's called You Don't Know Jack.
What does you don't know Jack mean?
There it is.
It means if this episode still overwhelmed you and you have
absolutely no idea how to start or you're in the middle of
your workout journey and you are just not seeing any progress
hire somebody that does because there are very well educated
people like personal trainers and nutritionists that can help
you.
That's what they do.
Yeah.
If you're not seeing progress, it's something that it's
because you didn't you don't know all the information but
there's somebody that does.
Yeah.
So you don't know Jack hire somebody that does.
That is your extra extra tip of the week.
We're specifically talking about a trainer named Jack.
So if you can find him, let us know.
And yeah, you know what?
It's an with that opportunity and finding Jack.
It's an investment.
You have to invest in yourself.
Each workout is an investment into your future and if hiring
someone is something that has to happen for you, it's an
investment because you got to pay money for it.
But you have to look at it as an investment instead of oh my
gosh, I'm spending so much money on this.
Right.
And then if you take that investment process and go to
the grocery store, this is an investment for my future.
I'm buying fruits and vegetables and right now raspberries
are like 379 or 399 a thing.
But it's an investment for the future.
I mean, there's no really else other way to say it.
So look at things like that because guess what?
Hospital bills are more expensive.
Oh my God.
And it's not it's not even a joke, right?
Health insurance doesn't care.
So everything is an investment, whether you're spending the
money for it or whether it's the mindset that you need to
put into it.
So Jack is worth it.
Okay.
Jack is totally worth it.
We have our own Jack at Seafit.
So find our just Jack.
Her initial starts with the and her end of the name is
Ektoria.
So sometimes she doesn't know Jack though.
Oh, she knows a lot of Jack.
I know a lot of Jack shit.
