Welcome to Nacho Fitness Coach. The podcast where
fitness is technically the topic, but let's be
honest, we get distracted. I'm Sarah, the fitness
expert who actually understands this stuff. And
I'm Kaylee, the beginner who thinks Bulgarian
split squats are a hate crime. Every week we
break down fitness myths, call internet nonsense,
and try to make sense of the chaos. while also
going off on tangents, making bad jokes, and
questioning our life choices. If you're looking
for expert advice with a side of whatever Kaylee
does here, or just need a podcast that makes
you feel better about your own fitness journey,
you're in the right place. All right, let's do
this. Or, you know, talk about doing this. Sarah,
did I tell you that Dwayne The Rock Johnson listens
to our podcast? He does. I mean, he's never said
that and we don't have any proof, but I just
like feel like it's probably true. You know what
I mean? I mean, I feel like that's the way the
world is anymore. Like as long as it feels true,
it's fine. That's where I'm telling yourself
whatever you want. That's where I'm at. I feel
like probably. Hey, Dwayne. Hey, Dwayne. Shout
out. Hey. I know. Honestly, ever since we have
went through like endless cycles of Moana. Now,
every time I see the rock, I just picture Maui.
Oh, for sure. You know, I mean, you just kind
of always have that one character that, you know,
once you play him, that that's who you become.
And that is just who I picture now when I hear
his voice is Maui. He's got a good voice. He's
got a great voice. We should get him on as a
guest sometime. Yeah. I mean, maybe this is our
breaking moment. Dwayne, if you're listening,
we'd love to have you. You're welcome. You know,
he actually has been to Miami because he's pretty
fit. You know, there's conflicting reports on
whether or not he has any assistance in his level
of fitness, but it's fine. Let's just be real
here. You know, but he also has always kind of
shared what his nutrition looks like. Yeah. The
man eats wild amounts of food. One of my favorite
things is his relationship with Kevin Hart. Oh,
yeah. They are so funny. Do you know how tiny
Kevin Hart is? No, but I just Googled how tall
The Rock is, and he's 6 '5". And Kevin Hart is
like 5 '5", probably. 5 '2". And they are so
funny. Heart tight. We should have a podcast.
He's teeny. Oh my gosh, he is. Yeah. What? I
didn't realize he was that short. Yeah, he's
very small. I just saw a video of him with like
a bunch, I think they were like a bunch of like,
I don't know, female. This picture's him next
to Shaq. Yeah. I think it was like him with next
to a bunch of like female WNBA players or something.
Whoa. Yeah, he's a teeny tiny little guy. Oh,
there's one with The Rock. They are so funny.
And Will Ferrell. Oh, Will Ferrell is pretty
tall too. Their dynamic together is just top
tier. He is awesome. Yeah. But yeah, that is
a, I mean, that's. That's a just, that's a discrepancy.
That is a huge discrepancy, especially like,
wow, that's crazy. But The Rock does eat insane
amounts of food. I'm sure. Like at one point
I did see like a little video where he was like,
this is how many rolls of sushi I eat. And this
is how many eggs I eat. And it's just like, dang.
I mean, he's. He's a big dude. So whether it's
assisted or not, the man still has to consume
a lot of calories. Yeah, we're not here to speculate.
No, I don't really care either way. I mean, he
looks amazing. So just keep doing you. But if
you ever want to be a guest on our podcast, you
just contact us directly. Like you can skip our
agent. Yeah. Just get ahold of us like right
away. Okay. So today I thought we would talk
about this little graphic that I ran across that.
I thought it was just kind of an interesting
way to kind of break down different ways of how
you might choose to do your training. Oh. So
it's breaking down fitness training is the actual
like little graphic. And so it says. Did you
share this somewhere with me so I could look
at it? Yeah, it's on the little list. I just
want to get a visual here. Yeah. I don't even
remember which one I just. If you highlight it,
I think it's like a shared. Oh. Okay, well here,
hold on. Let me see if I can figure out which
one. Oh, I put it down at the bottom for episode
three. That way you can kind of see the link.
Okay. So it says breaking down training. And
it says when it comes to choosing a fitness training
approach, think of it in the same perspective
as commuting. So then they have like a little
graphic where it says bus, carpool. Or, you know,
you're driving yourself, basically. And so it
says group training classes. It's the cheapest
way to get where you want to go. You don't have
to choose who gets to ride with you. You don't
get to choose. Oh, yeah. You don't get to choose.
When I say give. You said you don't have to.
Oh, you don't have to. Oh, you you don't get
to choose who gets to ride with you, but you'll
get where you need to go. OK. OK. That's like
a bus. It's like a commuter bus. That's how he
likens that to group training classes, which
is very true. Which is like your. You're just
kind of along for the ride. Yeah, that's your.
Point A to point B. Soul cycle or your jazzercise
or whatever. Right. Any group training class.
Like you show up, you don't get to choose who's
there. You don't get to choose what you do. You
just know that you're going to go through a class
and away you go. Okay. So then there's the next
one is like a SUV where it's like, okay, carpool.
Right. Here's it's semi -private training. So
you get to pick who you're going with. You have
more control over the route and more attention
through the ride. Okay. Right. So, I mean, this
is kind of what I've done when I've done like
my small, my small, my workshops, my small group
workshops. Right. So you kind of get to pick
a lot of times it's somebody grabs like a friend
or two, you know, and they kind of start, we
put together a group with a schedule and then
we let other people join in and they kind of
create their own little like. sure cohort if
you will for you know yeah a little like you
know groupie group session for four weeks sure
but then it's a little bit more controlled right
because we tailor it to the people who are in
the group i'll let you finish before i okay get
my commentary okay Do you want to go to the next
one or do you have some thoughts on this one?
Yeah, I'll go to the next one. So then the last
one is like your own car, right? He likens that
to personal training. Like this is your ride.
Everything is customizable for you. The direction,
the attention, the music changes, right? You're
in complete control. You're just driving yourself
there. You get to, you know, have control over
everything. So, you know, it just says you can
take all the options to get to your destination,
right? Because that's also true. I mean, you
might. Use a little bit of them all to do different
things throughout the day. But it's pretty easy
to explain, you know, the differences when people
are just trying to, I guess, consider different
ways. They're like different ways. Like if you're
looking at exploring help or, you know. Sure.
Class one -on -one training, you know, what's
going to be best for you. So. I feel like I can
speak on this coming from a place of the fact
that I've never done any of these. Sure. So.
I have a lot to add to this conversation. You
do? Perfect. I work out alone in my basement.
Oh, you're like, well, that's actually like a
fourth option. Just fly solo. Yeah. What would
that be like? A moped? Excuse you. I'm training.
A scooter? I'm training very hard. Skateboard?
Rollerblades? so insulting i mean a moped has
a motor on it at least like i mean you're not
gonna get there as fast but you're just putting
away let's go ahead and read the first comment
on here because you know we love the comments
that was actually part of let me read that is
better okay go sam jones from dot movement coach
said loving this analogy except the bus group
class takes an unpredictable route, stops wherever
the driver feels like, and drops you off closer
to their house. Sam Jones, what are you talking
about? The bus doesn't just stop wherever it
feels like. What? If your destination happens
to be nearby, great. If not, you might have a
long walk ahead or most likely back. Oh, and
the bus driver got their license out of a Starbucks.
Sam Jones, I don't know what buses you've been
taking. I don't think that's supposed to be the
typical. of public transportation. Maybe they
should have, instead of just saying bus, they
should have said public transportation bus. But
I don't feel like that is the typical public
transportation experience. Listen, we live in
a small town in the middle of the Midwest. We
don't have public transportation where we live.
So have I been on a lot of public transportation
buses? No, I have not. But I don't think that
they, A, take an unpredictable route. B, stops
wherever the driver feels like. Like the driver's
not stopping at the, you know, local. Just random.
Come and go for a pack of Marlboro Reds. Right.
You know what I mean? Right. They're at work.
Right. I don't know, but drops you out closer
to their house. Sam, what are you talking about?
Anyway, let's move on. Okay. So that's just,
I mean, that's just the first slide. Like it
goes into more detail, like, but let's do this.
There's another comment where it's like, um,
does a group bus really take you where you need
to go? You know, another fitness person. And
I'm like, listen, if that's what works for somebody
to be consistent and move their body and like
go, then yes, please. Okay. Oh, there's apparently
typos in the last paragraph of the last slide.
Cause that's what everyone's now talking about.
Somebody said, what if I drive a Tesla? Okay.
So let's go to the next slide. Breaking it down.
So then he's doing like, all right, here's your
levels of attention for each of them. Here's
your costs. So there's like the pros and cons
to each end. Well, and there's like a. correlation
right so obviously if you have low attention
there's low cost and there's low program customization
right you get and then you step it up and you're
like okay semi -private training you're gonna
get a little bit more attention a little bit
higher cost a little bit higher program customization
and then obviously if you're doing personal training
it's really super high like the attention is
high but the cost is higher and you're you know
whatever yeah but it's saying that it can all
get you results right Yeah, that you can get
results from any of them because it's pros and
cons. Sure. And again, it's you have to weigh
all of those things for your situation to say
what's going to work for me like long term. Right.
And so then the bus take a bus commuting low
cost option. And so I don't know. Don't get to
choose what it looks like. Absolutely. But they're
going through kind of some details, which I guess
I feel like we kind of already like talked about.
If you want to stop along the way, you can change
the music. You can carpool solo car service.
Personal training is like having a car for your
commute. You know, you get a lot more. Sure.
But, you know. Are you still on the first or
second slide? No, I'm going like all the way
to the end. The last one. You know, because if
you're driving yourself there, but then you're
taking on all the expenses, right? Because you
have to own your own car and do all the things.
And it's definitely more costly, but it is all
about you. Sure. You get complete control over
everything. Perfect sense. So, you know, I just
it's an analogy and it can help people because,
you know, especially if you have never done group
classes or if you've never had a personal trainer.
I mean, sometimes you just don't know what you
don't know. Right. And you're not really sure
what you like. And I I've tried them all. I think
I think that's the most important part is. Being
open to trying them. Yeah. If you're at that
point. I've tried none of them. And you don't
like them. I don't like people. I know. Well.
So like group classes out. I think it's maybe
time for a little quick ad break. Hey y 'all.
Thank you for listening. This is show producer
Audio Allen. While the girls are taking a break
and I kind of need one too. Like, follow and
subscribe. Stick around. We'll be right back.
Okay. We're back. Yeah. Semi -private. That involves
people out. Personal trainer? Absolutely not.
One -on -one with somebody who knows more than
I do? No, thank you. Why would I do that? Why
would I better myself like that? No, that's too
much. That's pushing me too far. The one thing
I will say for me was always the hardest part
about any of these was that they were scheduled.
And I hit a point in my life where, you know
what? Couldn't necessarily I didn't necessarily
want to get right to class at 530. Yeah. You
know, for me, having flexibility over either
moving it around or doing what I wanted to. That
would work better for me just knowing that's
how I work out anyway. I wake up. I wake up at
5 a .m. and I know I'm going to be working out
by by six. Right. Around six, probably. And so
if I don't, I'm not working out later. So I don't
need that like. You know, oh, 6 a .m. didn't
work for me. Right. If it didn't work, I'm not
going to go later anyway. No, you're skipping
it. I just never, and that happened to me, I
feel like, more once I had kind of my corporate
life and job. If I needed to make sure it got
done, morning's the easiest way. Because you
just don't have any other distractions. I do
not understand how people work out at any time
of day besides morning. No, because life just
happens. And then I feel like you get guilty.
Like if life happens and things happen and it
encroaches upon your workout time and then you
like miss it or whatever. Then those feelings
of guilt creep up really super fast. For whatever
reason, I don't even feel that way. I feel like
if for whatever reason I missed it in the morning.
You're just done. You're like, yeah. Yeah. And
I don't honestly, I don't think I didn't work
out. I didn't do anything this morning. I think
last episode we were talking about or some episode
we were talking about how I get on the treadmill
for at least 30 minutes. Like, that's my bare
minimum. I didn't today. You act like you do
it every day. Can I explain myself? Here's what
happened. My husband, bless his heart, he was
watching a clip of us on the Internet of our
podcast. And he was like. You looked really tired.
I was like, tune out. And I was like, that's
because A, sometimes Sarah's boring as shit.
And B, like, listen, I go to bed at nine every
night. Right. And so when we have these recording
nights, like nine o 'clock hits, I'm done. And
this was like three days ago we talked about
this. And so then we just we had a little brainstorm.
And he was like, well, what if for the next few
nights, because we knew recording was this weekend.
He was like, what if you just. Stay up a little
later, sleep in, and just kind of try to adjust
your bedtime. Sure. And so that you're ready.
Did that work? I don't know. This is night one
to be continued. Oh. You know? I mean, it's 930.
I'm fine right now, but I also, I'm also, you
know, I also have 800 milligrams of caffeine
running through my veins right now. So right
now I'm fine. But yeah, so the last few days
I did, I stayed up late and slept in. So I did
not get my workouts in, which is fine. And I
didn't, I don't know. I'm not the kind of person
like life handed me what it handed me at this
moment in time. I will, you know, we'll get done
with this weekend and I'll get back to it and
it'll be fine. But if I wake up at 8 a .m. like
I did today, no, no, it's not happening. That
time has passed. Now my kids are up. Now life's
happening. I have things going on. It happens
really fast. But I don't dwell on it or beat
myself up about it. It is what it is. This is
the priority for me this weekend is to be here
with you fine people and not look tired. And
not look tired. I don't want to be judged by
my husband through my social media clips that
I look tired. Baby look tired and bored. Sometimes
I do. It's so hard. You do get bored when you
talk about real stuff. You texted me last night
or recently. I feel like you texted me. Oh, I
didn't see it until I was up watching TikToks,
but I didn't see it because my phone goes into
bedtime mode. I didn't even see it. You sent
me some texts about something and I didn't see
it until the next day. That's fine. Nobody's
going to contact me after 9 p .m. Yeah. I know.
That's fine. I mean, that's good. Those settings
are amazing. That's for you to control you. Thanks,
Apple. I know. You have to be able to control
what is being thrown at you. Because if you choose
to let it be thrown at you, it will. You have
to be in control. So kudos. Yeah. That's been
my life. So you have no interest of ever doing
really anything with anyone else workout related?
Not particularly. No. No. You know what? I'm
just going to say it with my whole chest. No.
Decision is made. I know. I don't. I mean, I
thought about like, you know, my friends, she
started going to the gym and I was like, maybe
I should get a gym membership. Maybe we can go
do that together. And then I was like, I love
her. She's one of the very few people I enjoy
spending time with. Yeah. I'm still even like,
no, that's the thing I just do by myself. I do.
I do my weird dances and shit while I'm working
out. You do some weird shit while I'm working
out. You dance. Yeah. Oh, are you a good dancer?
No, ma 'am. That's why I do it alone. Does it
count as cardio or is it just like shake everything
out? It counts as moving my body. Like I don't
give a shit. We have full mirrors in our basement
now. We're like building a workout room. And
yeah, no, I just get, I get real weird. Cause
you know, I listen to weird music. Right. When
I work out like Celine Dion. I don't even know
how that's motivating. It's fine. Do you sing,
too, then? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Does it not
wake up the girls? No, I'm in the basement. Hmm.
I don't think so. Yeah. Now you have to go downstairs
to work out. Like, you should roll out of bed
and just go. Yeah, now my room's in the basement.
Yeah. Right next door. Yeah, that's awesome.
I mean, yeah, but it just where are you at right
now? Where are you at on this as far as like
working? I'm not doing anything because my doctor
won't let me. I'm in a weight restriction mode
from surgery still. So but what do you prefer?
I prefer to strength train on my own because
I don't like to get distracted with like. conversations
like if i'm going to be lifting i want to just
get in and get out and get it done so i prefer
to do that uninterrupted yeah and i don't feel
like um now i did actually really enjoy my one
-on -one training sessions when i very first
got started and for probably a year or so i did
weekly personal training sessions and i did actually
really like those um because if somebody's watching
me do something and like counting i mean i don't
stop early right so it taught me retaught me
how to learn how to make sure i was finishing
sets and all that fun stuff but i because i do
like lifting heavy you just don't really get
that same effect in like group fitness classes
or even small group training classes um you know
that's less focused i feel like on that side
of things but um for as much as i've always thought
that i was not a social workout person There
was probably, oh my gosh, it was probably a two
year stint in Kansas City. We had a Sunday morning
workout group that we called ourselves the Casey
Divas. And we, yeah, we would show up. It was
so fun. Like a lot of us met through the competition,
like fitness competition kind of circuit or through
the gym or then like people would pull people
in. And every Sunday morning we would probably
have. I would guess 12 to 20 girls that would
show up from all parts of the city. And we would
like same basic fitness level. Generally speaking,
I feel like. But, you know, some of the friends
that would come, you know, it just it would vary
a little bit. And so we we met at the World War
One Memorial in downtown Kansas City. And I think
we said like 10 o 'clock or something in the
morning. So it was like super early and we would
meet. And it is. It has a lot of stairs. And
so we would meet on the platform of the World
War I Museum. We would kind of like chat and
see who all was there. And then we had this routine
where we would go down the steps. And it was
probably like three flights worth of stairs.
By the time you came up from the landing and
you would go down and down and down. And then
between the World War I Memorial and Union Station,
there's this huge kind of like grassy area that
has this. Like a grassy knoll. Like a grassy
knoll. And it had a paved like walking path on
it, like kind of just around the perimeter. And
so those steps, there was maybe actually four
or five flights of stairs. By the time you came
all the way down, it was pretty high all the
way down, down to that. Did you just see that?
Yeah. It's just we have a ghost. That ghost was
mad at her microphone. And then the microphone
just moved down on its own. Don't. he's gonna
freak out somebody else is touching his mic ghost
go away and so then there was but it was a small
like downhill decline okay so we would start
at the top we would go down the steps so the
first half of it wasn't bad because it was down
and all the way down okay and then you would
come up and it was slightly uphill and then up
the steps and you would be toasted and so then
we would do like one loop every like 10 to 15
minutes and then kind of do something in the
middle like walking lunges or whatever and then
we go taking it so if your fitness level varied
yeah you could either slow down or you would
run at your own pace basically would you make
fun of the people who couldn't keep up with you
you didn't no no no i was like i mean it actually
was probably the one time that i i mean i went
every week unless we were in town and It was
the most fun I have ever had doing, say, like
cardio, for example, because that's basically
what it was, right? We just were there to run
stairs and run that loop around that paved path.
But that was the only time where group fitness
I did enjoy because it kind of pushed me a little
bit with cardio. You know? No, that's fair. It
was fun, though. That's fair. We don't really
have hills like that here. Obviously, you look
back on it fondly. Yeah, it was fun. It was a
good time. No, I've never, there was a, I did
a stint after I had my second daughter where
I was just like, you know, I was like, oh, I'm
going to get in shape. I went and worked out
with a group of ladies, my cousin and some other
ladies. It was just kind of an informal morning
thing. I would run to Grand Island, which is
like 30 minutes away. And we would work out.
We would, I don't know, walk a trail and stop
and do, I don't know. I didn't know what I was
doing at the time. Right. It was fun because
you just like. It's a, I don't know, a point
of socialization that's consistent. And I guess
when I think about it, that was kind of cool.
I love seeing, I don't love to be a part of it,
but I do love seeing like groups of women getting
together for like with the goal of moving their
bodies and whatever that looks like. All right.
I think it's time for a quick break. If you have
something to share with us or even suggest a
new topic idea, email us at nachofitnesscoach
at gmail .com. And we're back. I don't need to
be a part of it necessarily. Just love seeing
it. I do love to see it. Every time I see it,
I'm like, good for you. Yeah, good for you. Glad
that for you. Even if that for you. Yeah. Even
if it's nothing, you know, wild or crazy. So
I don't know. I don't know how I feel about all
this. I'm just like a troll in my basement, you
know, sobbing to sleep beyond while I'm lifting
weights every morning. That's where I'm at in
my life. I start my day. And that's fine. And
you know what? That's fine. I don't think there's
anything wrong with that either. Whatever it
looks like for you, I will wake up and get on
that moped every morning. No, I'm totally going
to picture that. But I also did love, like, a
couple summers ago, you and I were going to the
track together. I know, see? And running. It's
the same thing, though. I think it's just that
level of, like, accountability. It is. And I
was like, well, I can't, you know, bitch out
because Sarah knows I'm meeting her there tomorrow.
Right. I don't like letting people down, for
sure. Right. So maybe that's why I don't do those
things. Yeah, that actually was fun. And we need
to do that again this summer. Yeah, those are
really fun. Every other day. Let's go run. Well,
I mean, it would be like 5 a .m. I'm up. We could
do that. I mean, that's what it would have to
be. In the summer? Probably 5 .30. I mean, I'll
have class at 6. At 6? Well, I don't think we'll
do it on Fridays, though, so we can maybe do
Friday mornings. Or Saturday or Sunday. I like
running with you. I don't like running so much,
but... We had fun. I do like, I do like track
workouts. Those are pretty fun. I didn't go,
I did not go to that track one time last summer.
I was there every morning, but unrelated. Nope.
Not related at all. But yeah, it is. I mean,
it can, that is a perk of, you know, group fitness
or scheduling something. It's the accountability
because you do feel like you. Which I probably
actively try to avoid at all costs. Accountability,
just in general. In every aspect of my life,
really. Yeah, because why would we want to do
that? Why would you want that? That makes no
sense. I'm just a lone wolf. There's nothing
wrong with that. There's a lot of areas of my
personality that are like that, too. I just went
to a... We have a local coffee shop here in town
who sometimes puts on like little crafty things.
I don't know if our podcast audience knows this,
but they call me Crafty Kaylee. They call you
a lot of things. Did you go? I do love a good
craft. Did you go? Did I go? Okay. No, because.
There's people there. Listen, let me set the
scene for you. I love what I've been doing for
the last couple of months. As I've been sitting
on my old lady chair in my living room, it's
floral even like it's a legit old lady chair.
And I have a crafting table and I pull it up
over me and I make little teeny tiny houses.
Oh, yeah. Like miniature house kits, which is
God, I love it. Oh, my God. I would not rather
be doing anything else ever at any point in my
life. Love it. So our local coffee shop, they
were putting on a. Well, I buy these kits from
this coffee shop. So the owner now, she sees
me come in constantly buying these kits. I've
seen those in the back room. So she was like,
listen, we're going to put on a workshop. Can
you lead it? Well, no, no, no. Hold tight. She
says, I'm going to put on a workshop. We're going
to do a little miniature Altoid tins. And I was
like, sign me up. because that's a good time
for me and I also signed up my daughter my 10
year old because she's into that stuff too so
the day came we went it was me my daughter and
two other old ladies and it was it was fine it
was fine we had a fine time everything's fine
everything was fine fine everything's fine but
we got to talking about I used to dabble in making,
like, polymer clay miniatures. I used to, like,
make people, like, little replicas of people's,
like, wedding cakes. That was actually pretty
good. Okay. Okay. They used to call me Clay Kaylee.
Clay Lee? Clay Cake Kaylee? Clay Cake? I don't
know. Nobody called me that. So I was telling
her this. So anyway, she knows that I'm, like,
super passionate about these, like, little miniatures.
So she was like, wow. She keeps talking about
all these things that like we should do this
class. We should have a class like this. It's
like kind of like springboarding off of miniatures.
And I'm like, lady, I love I like I love all
these ideas, except the fact that I have to be
around people. I do all this stuff at home by
myself. That's how I don't want to be social.
I don't. But I need to. You do like you. It's
a social connection. Right. We've talked about
that. Yeah, I think I probably need to put myself
out there a little bit more and be a little bit
more social. I basically only talk to you, my
husband, my friend Bree, and my sister. So, you
know, probably needs to be a little bit more.
But, you know, do I want to go work out with
people? No, I don't. No. So that's my take. That's
my hot take on that. You have to find what works
for you. You know, people have asked me my opinions
and it's like, well, but I have what works for
me or doesn't work for me. I would like to start
doing strength training with you because I know
that you would push me further than I push myself.
So I often think about you in the morning when
I stop short of my reps and I think. Sarah would
have none of this. Probably not. And so, you
know, I've got my eye on you. Oh, okay. Okay,
okay, okay, okay. I mean, I definitely, people
are much stronger than they give themselves credit
for. Or they think they are. And that's where
it's like, you know, because you don't, you're
going to be, I don't know, for me, I'm like,
I give up on myself. And then I'm like, but.
sarah would have believed in me sarah knows i
know you could do it cranked out three more reps
but i do and that's that's honestly the place
where it comes from is i'm like i know you can
do it because i can see that your movement is
still fine you know it's just people start to
feel the burn and then they want to quit i'm
like i'm done like no your form is still fine
you still look strong like trust me i can see
when you hit that wall right you know until like
it's just like i don't want to pay you as a personal
trainer well no obviously not But I would love
to just, as a friend, you know, just be like
a workout buddy. Just throwing that out there.
If you're ever interested, I'm available. I did
use the line this week where I'm like, well,
you need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
You know, because there was one of the kids that
was kind of like, you know, she got cleared with
medical clearance. And so this was like the first
time that she'd been working on a front squat,
a zombie squat, which you have the barbell then
across like the front of your shoulders. And
you're like, your hands are out. She's like,
well, it hurts my shoulders. Well, yeah, you've
got 45 pounds now sitting on your arms, which
you've never had before. She's like, it's hitting
against my collarbone. Well, yes, because it's
pushing on your collarbone. And I said, that
hurts it. You need to get comfortable with being
uncomfortable because there's nothing about what
you're going to do in this weight room. It's
going to be comfortable if you're going to change.
Can we talk about you have been what coaching
morning weights at the middle school? High school.
High school. I thought it was the middle school.
Well, it's physically located in the middle school,
but that's where the public school's weight room
is. Okay, because... But it's high school students.
Okay. I have a friend. I think this student...
I think she likes me now, though, by the way.
I have a friend who has a high school kid who
has a friend. My friend overheard these two school
children discussing... She heard the friend saying,
I hate Sarah Sutherland. She is the meanest coach.
Whatever they call it. I think she called you
some choice words. She might have. And I was
like, yeah, that's Sarah. Do you want me to apologize
for that? I don't think anyone expects anything
less from me. I just thought that was so funny.
You know, I warned them from the very beginning.
I'm very intense. I'm very intense about movement.
I'm very intense about doing things correctly
because I really do believe the way we move matters
and doing things correctly. And especially when
it comes to the weight room, I have just seen
over the years, if we don't do things right,
you get hurt. Right. And injuries are no fun.
You end up in a neck brace. Right. And it's just
like. Downhill from there. You know what I mean?
As soon as I say, not if I do. Exactly. And so
it's just like, I mean, I warned him. I'm like,
you know, you guys have probably seen me in different
areas of the community or life or whatever. But
this is the area that I am super intense about
because I really do believe that the way we choose
to move matters. And we have an age group of
children that aren't always mindful. Yeah. They're
not always paying attention. To how they move.
Whether it's different from when I was in high
school or not. I don't really know. Because I
don't remember. Right. That was a long time ago.
It was a long time ago. A really long time ago.
But like. There is just a general level of mindfulness.
Of like. paying attention to how you're doing
something that has kind of gone by the wayside
a little bit. And I'm like, you know what? That
doesn't work in this area. Like you have to pay
attention to what you're doing. Yeah. Cause if
you don't, that's why you're loving it. Are you
loving it? I absolutely love it. Well, good.
But you know, I'm also not willing to let them
do it wrong without restarting it. I'm sure you're
not. And so I'm like, Nope, that's not. And so
do you feel like, what do you feel like is if
they all had to fill out like a rating for you
as a whole? Um, I don't know. One to five. If
they don't like me now, it's probably because
they don't quite understand yet. Well, they're
children. I mean, you know. I don't quite understand
yet. I'm tough. I mean, I'm for sure tough, but
I'm also not going to apologize for making you
restart it and paying attention and doing it
right. So. Maybe I don't want to work out with
you. We're going to start over. We're going to
do it again. You know, and that that phrase has
flown out of my mouth a few times. And they do
this first thing in the morning. Yeah. Just verbally
abusing them first thing in the morning, like
before they even start their school day. That's
rough, man. There is zero verbal abuse. I am
very. I think your definition of verbal abuse
and minor to vastly different things. I have
high expectations. There's no doubt about that.
But I'm not going to apologize for that either.
So that's fine. You know, just rise to the challenge.
That's fine. I love that you're doing that, and
I love that you love it. I do love it. It just
changes my schedule in the mornings. I just thought
it was so funny that my friend overheard somebody
just completely bashing you, talking shit about
you. That was funny. It was funny. I know. Because
I just, yeah. Because I was like, of course.
Oh, she'll like me eventually. She's only a freshman.
She'll realize over the years that. Maybe I was
onto something. She'll look back fondly. I'm
sure as we all do. I mean, that is, that would,
Alan, are you doing lunges out there? What are
you doing? Ready to move a little bit. Oh, I
thought he was doing lunges. You know, that is
the one thing I will definitely say that is probably
the, the one thing that is hard about group training
classes from like an instructor standpoint is
you have a chance with like personal training
or one -on -one stuff that you get to build the
relationship with them. It's, It's a whole different
ballgame trying to build that same level of relationship
with each individual person in a group setting.
Yeah. And when you look specifically at probably
high schoolers or anyone that's brand new to
like their fitness journey. Right. They're all
kind of beginners regardless of your like actual
age. And that relationship is key. Right. Because
you got to build that trust. You got to build
just kind of that general relationship for them
to want to. believe that you're gonna guide them
down this like right path and so that's that
is the hardest part is when you've got 45 kids
all going through a group class right getting
to the level of like hey i really actually do
care about you i care about your goals like i
need to know where your injuries are i need to
understand like i want to know you as a person
not only how you move but like what are your
goals what do you want to do like what are your
aspirations like um Which is really important.
That is our education system in a nutshell. Well,
we don't need to go there. You're like, this
is why I homeschool. Just sign, seal and deliver
that one. All right, let's wrap this up. So anyways,
that's it. So there we go. We just kind of talked
about the different types of group training and
that's it. That's all we got for today. Okay.
So until next time. Bye. Thanks for listening.
