00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,600
Welcome to Nacho Fitness Coach. Two friends discuss all things fitness to

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,320
bring knowledge and some opinion to you wherever you may be in your health

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,040
journey. My friend Kaylee, the beginner, almost ran a 5k once. Recently had her

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:19,080
first protein shake and is the proud owner of one set of five pound dumbbells.

5
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:23,820
And my friend Sarah, the expert, runs when she lifts, has racewalked dozens of

6
00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:30,280
races, including a full marathon and has 12 open protein tubs in the pantry. So

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:38,720
let's get started. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. So this podcast is for entertainment only.

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,720
If you have concerns about your health, consult a physician or other health care

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:50,280
professionals. So Sarah, what? You talk about the 12, 3, 30 challenge that we

10
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,760
started a while back. Yeah. Should we talk about that? Yeah, I think we should talk about that.

11
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,440
Okay. Yep. Let people know how it's going. Right. I did a thing that I don't think

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,320
you're gonna be super happy with. I know what happened. We're gonna need to change

13
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,840
the intro to the podcast. If you're okay with that. If we have time. Why did you buy

14
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:14,440
heavier dumbbells? No. No, I already blew my gym home equipment. Budget for the

15
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:22,320
year. So no, no, okay. Okay. Five, five pound dumbbells threw me over on my budget.

16
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:29,080
Okay. Got it. So what I did do was last weekend, supposed to do the challenge. So

17
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,120
what we're doing is we're walking on the treadmill, what is it at a 12 incline,

18
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,120
three miles per hour for 30 minutes. Right. And we decided we're gonna do this

19
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,880
every day. Well, that's the challenge. Right. For 30 days. That's the 30. Right.

20
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,600
So there was the one day that I didn't want to do it so badly. I wasn't gonna do

21
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:58,800
it. So instead I went ahead and I ran my first 5k. Oh, I mean, I'm proud of you.

22
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,760
You could be a little worse. I mean, whoo. You know, you know what I mean? I mean,

23
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,760
you were supposed to be, we're supposed to be doing the challenge. But I mean,

24
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:12,840
like I ran a 5k, like I ran, you know, and to be honest with you, it didn't suck

25
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,960
as bad. I'm not, I mean, that's good. It was better than walking. But no, so we've

26
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:25,120
been meeting at the gym every morning. 6am. There was a snowstorm. So you didn't

27
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,720
meet me those mornings for like a week. Why did you not meet me those mornings,

28
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,600
Kaylee? There was snow on the ground. Because you get your car out of your garage.

29
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,400
I mean, probably after like, if you really wanted to, you could have. Right. I mean,

30
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,160
there's just like a little bit of snow. So you wanted to use your treadmill home.

31
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,600
I had my treadmill home. So then those days that you did your, the workout at your house,

32
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:55,960
right? Oh, here we go. Here we go. Go ahead. Go ahead. Was it still the 12, 3, 30? I mean,

33
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:08,000
it was a 10, 3, 30. So 28, 30, you know, like, wait a second. Variables on multiple. My

34
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,960
treadmill does not go up to 12. Sorry. It stops at 10. I even tried. I even like, maybe if I

35
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,920
just keep pushing the button. No, no, no, it stops. It's out of 10. Okay. So you're like,

36
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:23,520
negative 2%. I mean, I don't know if you want to get, if you want to get technical. I mean,

37
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,320
but I'm pretty proud of myself. I mean, I'm proud of you too. It's better than nothing.

38
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:36,800
Right. So how are you doing? I haven't missed a day. No, you haven't. No. And we've even gone

39
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,920
for a couple of days and I did it first thing before we left in the morning, like think at home,

40
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:48,400
went out of town for like a one night thing and got back and I was at the gym at like 830

41
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,960
PM wrapping up about nine that next morning, rolling back in at 6am was the worst. I will tell

42
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,640
you like there, the breaks I did do, I had like three different times where I just had to step on

43
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:08,240
the rails for about 15 seconds. So you're not like, not as okay as I'm like leading on to be.

44
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:16,480
You ain't better than me. But that was one time that I was like, I was just here less than 12

45
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,880
hours ago. I'm just saying like if we're going to call out, you know, like what I'm doing wrong,

46
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,680
like let's go ahead and just talk about all the ways that you're not perfect. You know what I

47
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:31,120
mean? Right? Yeah. Yeah. No, that's good. So I did. I had that one rough that one that morning was

48
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,400
rough. Cause that was that was, I would not recommend that if you're going to take on this challenge.

49
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,560
I'd recommend trying to have like a full 24 hours like in between the workouts because

50
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,520
that back to back like a night and then coming back the next morning was pretty brutal. It's a

51
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,640
rough one. It's a rough workout. I'm going to encourage that. But you know, what's funny about

52
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,560
this is like from the very beginning, you looked at it, you're like, this is going to be easy. I

53
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,800
thought it was going to be so easy and it's not, it's not. And so you hit a point what probably

54
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,960
about a week or so in that you were like, forget this. I didn't want to do it. I'm just going to

55
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:12,400
run my first 5k instead. Something I had set out to do six months ago and just kind of got sidetracked

56
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,520
with when I didn't do it. Then that was that. I'm probably never going to do it. But you know,

57
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,640
you put something else in front of me that sucks worse. Like I guess I'm going to do it.

58
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,320
That's not so bad. I did. It took me like, I mean, I was on the treadmill. So I just had the

59
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,480
speed set. Right. It wasn't a fast 5k. You made it. Did you stop? No. Okay.

60
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:42,240
No, I did. I did not get off the treadmill. I did jump up on the sides one time because my ponytail

61
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,320
was getting wild, flopping around. So you technically have not then ran a 5k. I mean,

62
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:54,000
it was like 30 seconds. I mean, but that's still a break. You have sometimes when you have something

63
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,680
that's just like, I can't like my ponytail was falling down. I mean, I get that. But you know,

64
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,160
now all of a sudden it's like, I mean, I stopped for a little bit. It was a 5k.

65
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:14,080
That's the point. When I finished on the treadmill, it said 3.1 miles. So you're like, I did it.

66
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,280
Yeah. Come on now. Cut me some slack. I had to fix my ponytail. I've seen you. So we've been

67
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:24,880
going to the gym together. I've seen you, dilly-dally around over there. I've seen you grab the bars.

68
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,040
You grab the, you know, there has been a couple of times where it's been like, okay, this is

69
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:38,000
getting, it does. It gets really rough. It does. But it is crazy how much it does change the intensity.

70
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,800
If you just have to like hold on to the console for a few steps. Yeah. All of a sudden,

71
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,040
you're like, it does. It, I just thought it was funny because you were always like, never,

72
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,520
never hold the panel bars, never hold the panel bars, but I've seen you. I've seen you.

73
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,560
I've been for very long though. No, but I, you know, I don't know. That's what,

74
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,720
I guess that's what I'm saying. It's like, if we're going to, you know, like, if you're going to

75
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,000
call me out, I'm going to go ahead and call you out. That's totally fine. I mean, I can, you know,

76
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,760
it's one of those things we're doing it though. I'm proud of both of us. We've been getting up,

77
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,440
getting to the gym at 6am. In the middle of, you know, winter here right now. Yeah. So it's like,

78
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,920
not exactly fun to roll out and it's cold. And so you taught me to, so I started covering

79
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,680
the time. Oh yeah. That's, that's a good trick that I learned. Cover the time.

80
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Years ago is to grab an extra towel and like drape it over the display. Right. So you're not

81
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:35,280
just like staring at the numbers turning and then try to find something that's going to occupy

82
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,480
your time a little bit. That definitely helps. It helps a lot. Not knowing where you're at.

83
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,480
No. And you're just kind of zoned into, you know, whatever you're listening to or watching or

84
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,040
whatever. It definitely makes a big difference. And what's crazy is the very, of the very first time

85
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,280
that we did the workout, I got home and like by later that day, I was like, why is my,

86
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,680
my lower back was killing me? Well, by the second morning then I was like, okay, I'm going to pay

87
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,720
attention to like what was going on with that. And I realized that with the incline,

88
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:10,000
instead of staying tall and like almost leaning forward at my waist, I was defaulting to the

89
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,920
thing I feel like I do a lot, which I like hunch over. And I was creating like, I wasn't holding

90
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,640
my abdominal wall very tight and my lower back started hurting by walking up that incline for

91
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,800
that long. And that's what I read about when I read about that challenge. A lot of people

92
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,800
say that that's a thing. So it happened the first time that first night day. And then I was like,

93
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,000
okay, pay attention. And I did, I thought my shoulders like slunching over. And I was like,

94
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,040
almost like to walking with my arms just kind of like, yeah, being down by my sides. And I was

95
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,160
like, okay, pay attention to stand up straight, stand up straight, hold my like belly button in.

96
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,360
And I, it brought me back then memories of years ago when I did a lot of treadmill work where I

97
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:58,080
was like, okay, I am going to get my arms into it more. So I bent my elbows, started swinging

98
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,920
them a little bit more, even got, you know, some like little air punches going in, just because

99
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:07,840
it holds you upright a little bit more and you're paying attention. And then it started spinning

100
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,960
me into a whole nother, you know, thought pattern around benefits of walking over running.

101
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Yeah. Because there are some, the way our bodies move, how walking can have more benefit to me.

102
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:27,680
If you love running and running is your thing, then run, then run. But there's a lot of gravity

103
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:32,560
things that happen, like, you know, when you're pounding on the pavement or whatever. So it's

104
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:37,120
like, okay, if it's bothering your knees or whatever else, then walking is a great option.

105
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,320
Great thing is, is you twist your trunk a little bit more when you're walking versus running.

106
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,280
And so you're getting some like core engagement happening, especially when you're really paying

107
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,320
attention, right? You know, throw up those air punches, it keeps you nice and tall,

108
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,800
keeps your core engaged. And then now you're focusing on like a target. It's intense. It looks

109
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,680
silly. You're getting wild with it. Well, but you're not, you're not there. It is, you know,

110
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,760
worry about what other people are thinking about you walking on a treadmill. We're not. No, no,

111
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,960
okay. No, you just got to throw that. You got to throw that like out the window. So I think it's

112
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,320
been getting easier. Yes. For both of us. Well, we hit that one day, that one day, whereas like we

113
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,320
got off and it was like, that wasn't bad. That wasn't so hard. Yeah. So even today, after I was

114
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:31,200
up late last night, we had a party. It was up late consuming alcohol. I got home and took a nap,

115
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,920
like a three hour, well, two hour nap today. Yeah. And then I was like, well, I can't go face

116
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:42,560
Sarah tonight. Right. I don't do this. So I did. I got on the treadmill. Which treadmill? Mine.

117
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:50,240
You want to home? You want to home? So you did what? 10, 3. Did you do the full 30? I did do the

118
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,160
full 30. I can show you. I'll show you on my app. Oh, that's good. I did do the full 30. I got the

119
00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:01,040
full 30 in there. So, so yeah, I did it. When so other than the day that I switched it out for a 5k,

120
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:09,840
I haven't missed a day. But that does count as a day. As a big red blemish technically did miss

121
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,800
the challenge. That's fair. Do we need to start it over? No.

122
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:19,440
Absolutely. It is sucking the life out of me, Sarah. When I open my eyes in the morning,

123
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,320
my alarm goes off at 530. And all I can think is like, that's what I have to go do now.

124
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:31,040
And it's soul sucking. Yeah. But how do you feel when you're done with it? Fine. Great. Yeah.

125
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:37,760
I don't know the ever leave a workout regretting going. No, absolutely not. So, you know, I mean,

126
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,280
sometimes you just gotta get yourself there. You gotta just suck something. I'm ready to be done.

127
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,000
I'm ready to be done. We have a while. We have a while to go. And there's no stopping. I mean,

128
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:52,320
at this point, if I weren't doing this with you, I mean, I wouldn't be doing it. It would have been

129
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,880
on your own. And when nobody else was watching, like how many days do you think you would have

130
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,920
gotten into it before you're like, okay, I'm done. I'm over it. You know, it really just depends on

131
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,680
like how, I don't know, like how big a deal it was to me. Like if it was really, really, really

132
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:12,080
something I wanted to do and prove to myself, I would have stuck. I mean, I could, I would do it.

133
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,880
But like, you know, I started, I tried to do it before we even started the challenge. And I,

134
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,320
I was like, nope. How many minutes did you make it that 23? I think 23 or 24. And I was like,

135
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,800
well, this is a thing I'm never doing again. And now here I am. And then we talked about it. And

136
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,000
I was like, this is a great idea. We should do this. And then I'm never, I'm not bringing you

137
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,640
at least maybe you'll think twice about the thing you find on Tik Tok. You're like,

138
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,280
how is this going to go or not? Is Sarah going to want to do this? Yeah. Well, I will tell you

139
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:49,680
a hard stop for me would be if you try to bring me any burpees challenges. Yeah, I won't. Those,

140
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:54,800
those aren't good for anybody to be doing. I that's a whole nother, that's a whole,

141
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,560
that could be a whole nother episode. I will keep that in mind. I'm so box about burpees,

142
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:02,400
but don't find, don't try to find some burpee challenge on Tik Tok and try to bring that to

143
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,440
me. Cause I just thought this was going to be easy. Like, right. Otherwise, I wouldn't probably

144
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,560
brought it to you. How, I mean, how hard could it be just walking, right? And that pace is only a

145
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:19,440
20 minute mile pace, which is a very like casual kind of stroll. Yeah. You're not speed walking

146
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,640
at that point. If you're just out, you're like, um, you know, normal day pace, probably for a

147
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,880
lot of people 20 minute a mile. And then how do you pass the time when you're doing it? I watch

148
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:36,720
cake squad. Wait, not cake squad, big squad. Which one is it? No, it's a big squad. They make cakes.

149
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:46,560
My kids randomly found it and it's like really kind of entertaining. Are they 30 minute episodes?

150
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:52,160
They're like 36. Okay. So I don't always get through like the full episode, which is fine.

151
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,080
Cause the next morning I'm like, Oh, I get to wake up now and figure out which cake that they

152
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,680
picked. So I don't finish watching it and then let's start over. I like stop. Leave it on a cliff

153
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:06,320
hanger. I do. Yeah. Yeah. And that's been really super helpful. So I mean, it's just, it's light

154
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,640
hearted. You just kind of watch it and it's something I could never do. So it's like, okay,

155
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:17,440
you can't make cakes. No, you like to make cakes. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like, uh-huh. Yeah, I do.

156
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,560
And like me, I'm like, uh-huh. I'll buy the cake from you. I like to make it. I don't,

157
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,360
I'm not into the baking aspect of it so much as that I like to decorate. So then what are you

158
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,320
doing to pass the time? Tick tock. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Well, you've got your clicker. I bring my,

159
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,760
yeah, I've been, it's been a whole thing. I don't think we've talked about this. It's like me,

160
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,760
cause my clicker stays on my treadmill at home. It's like right there in the little cup holder.

161
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,000
And every morning it's like this whole like, I'm not used to getting up and going to the gym.

162
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,680
No, right. You just roll out. So I'm like, I want to home. Water, keys, earbuds, clicker.

163
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,280
Let's see. Yeah. It's just a whole new routine for me. And I didn't have that first workout where

164
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:03,520
I was like, I need to make sure if I forget my hair, like AirPods, I'm going to freak out. Yeah.

165
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:09,600
Not being able to hear something because you can't just leave a phone on like speaker phone

166
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,880
and hear it. Yeah. At the gym. Like you got to have your headphones in and so. And I love,

167
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,520
it's funny because we meet there and we really don't like need to other than it's just like a

168
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,760
checkpoint for us to be like, are you here? Are you here? Yeah. Cause we don't talk. No, we don't.

169
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:30,960
There's been a couple of days when we're like, Sarah, check out this. Here's this video, the one

170
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,760
video, the guy, the two guys on the treadmill and the one guy goes to take his hoodie off.

171
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:43,280
That never works by the way, people don't ever try. He falls into, so the one treadmill is in

172
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:48,800
front of the other treadmill. Two guys, front guy takes his hoodie off, loses his step and goes

173
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:56,320
flying into the guy behind him. That's funny. I mean, I'm sure those guys didn't think it's funny

174
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:04,800
right in the moment. I've got it with one video. So we can all see it. But yes, that is, that was not,

175
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:11,200
not probably a very smart decision. Don't try to remove something off of your head while you're

176
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,000
trying to walk on a treadmill. That's probably never going to end well. Never going to end well.

177
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,200
But yeah, he did quite the collision. All right. So how do you think the rest of the challenge

178
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,240
is going to go? I think fine. I feel like it's getting a lot easier even today. Like semi hung

179
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,760
over and after and in the afternoon versus like first thing in the morning. Yeah. It wasn't too

180
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,640
bad. I think it's getting easier. So then, so then we just do 30 days and then we're done like,

181
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,240
hurrah. I mean, gold star for us. Yeah. And then it's like, it's hard for me to do a challenge

182
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:48,240
where it's like, like when I was doing the couch to 5k, it was like, started little and then you

183
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:54,560
were working up to something bigger. So this one feels like, I don't know. They're literally doing

184
00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:02,160
the same thing every day. Yeah. And it's really for no point. Yeah. Other than what Kim Kardashian

185
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,360
did it, right? We're going to get the Chloe. We're going to get that Kim K. But that's what we're

186
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:13,040
going to do. Not with this. She had a lot of stuff going on. The 12% in Kardashian now.

187
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,360
She did it with the treadmill. Was it, was it Kim or was it one of the other ones? I think it was

188
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:25,360
Chloe. Chloe. Okay. Well, I don't know. Which ever one or all the same they are. Yes, that they are.

189
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:30,560
But you know, it's like, you're right. There's no building. There's no, other than the fact that

190
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:35,120
you do kind of hit probably one day like we did and you're like, Oh, this is, yeah, that's

191
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:40,480
all good to finally be like, Oh my gosh. And I did. I went this, I went this afternoon to

192
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:48,080
and it was like, okay, it's done. Like this is good. But I think that if I have, I will probably try

193
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,840
to avoid the two sessions within 12 hours. Yeah. Yeah. If I can, that was rough. You drink your

194
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,040
water and you wake up first thing in the morning and it's definitely getting easier a little bit.

195
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,200
But I don't know. Then I guess we'll just have to finish this one out and then we'll have to find

196
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:08,000
something new. Oh, I'm going to put you on that assignment. I mean, yeah, as long as I can find

197
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,680
it, challenge accepted, challenge accepted. And maybe we'll look for one that builds a little bit.

198
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,520
Are you working out more than this? Are you doing, are you doing things on top of this?

199
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,040
I'm lifting a little bit only because kind of trying to get a little bit more of a structured

200
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:29,040
yeah, land together right now. Yeah. Trying to work off the rest of this and final baby weight.

201
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,680
Yeah. So once I get there, you know, but yeah, starting to kind of incorporate in some strength

202
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:39,840
training, which if I was not doing this challenge with you, the strength training would be my priority.

203
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,840
Right. I'd be making sure that I was doing that three days a week and then just throwing in the

204
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:50,080
cardio whenever I felt like it. So it's definitely flip flopped this month, which it's okay. It's

205
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,400
better than nothing. But maybe next time we should switch in because I don't know. I've never done

206
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,480
strength training. I'd like to, I don't really know what that means. Oh, well, then there we go.

207
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,440
We should, we should figure out something. I wonder if there's challenges around that. It always

208
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,440
seems like it always does seem like though a lot of these things that go viral are cardio based.

209
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,880
Yeah, it does. And I wonder why that is. I mean, because, you know, when you look at it,

210
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:19,200
cardio for the most part is not something in my opinion should be your priority.

211
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,240
Yeah. But I like it. If it makes you feel good, it's a stress reliever, you know,

212
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,160
but I think it's time for me to like crossover to the other, to the dark side.

213
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:28,640
I guess.

214
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,040
I'm gonna start picking up some heavy stuff. It's got scary.

215
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:40,880
I'm like, now you're, now we're talking. All right. So do we love this? Do we hate it?

216
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:49,520
You know, here, I do love it from the standpoint of I do not very willingly choose to do cardio

217
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:58,320
on my own. So it has given me some structure and I am, I am somewhat like competitive. And so it's

218
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,040
like, okay, and like check boxes. So I'm like, okay, this is 30 days. We're going to do this.

219
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:09,920
Like now we got started. We can't quit. We're going to finish it out. So I actually do like it

220
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:16,320
because it is giving me a reason to do cardio. But will I continue doing it after the 30 days?

221
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:22,720
Not every day. No, but I will say walking on an incline on a treadmill has always been

222
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,560
one of my more favorite ways to get my heart rate. Yes.

223
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:32,240
Oh, so I'm not, I'm not a runner. I've noticed that the longer we're doing it. Yeah. Today,

224
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,480
my, I think my max heart rate was only like, I don't know, maybe it's an issue with my watch,

225
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,360
but my max heart rate is going down each time. I think I hit today was like one 12.

226
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:48,560
I feel like personally when I've watched my heart rate really closely, it seems like at like two

227
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:54,880
weeks, if I don't switch up what I'm doing, my heart rate doesn't max out. So like, or like max

228
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,360
out in quite the same way. So I've went through spurts where it's like step mill, like I'll do

229
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:05,520
the stair master and it'll be in the 150s for 30 to 60 minutes that I'm on there. But it seems like

230
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:11,600
when I hit like around two weeks, my body will adjust and it's like it gets used to it or something.

231
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,280
Yeah. That's what it's been like. Yeah. It'll be interesting to see them what happens because

232
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,200
I'm still sweating a lot. Oh yeah. We're both drenched in sweat by the time we're done. It's

233
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,160
disgusting. It is very disgusting. Like I haven't sweat like that in a while. And so it's like

234
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:29,040
dripping and all the things. So it's like, that's been good. But yeah, we'll have to watch the

235
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,560
heart rate because that'll be interesting thing to report back is what happens kind of now on

236
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:38,240
the rest of it. Yeah. If it keeps getting lower or not. So I know. Okay. So I like it. So we love it.

237
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:43,920
We love it. You love it. I think try it. I think people should try it. I think it's okay to say.

238
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,600
Yeah. I think anyone is capable of doing anything for 30 days. Yeah. So it does help having some

239
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,160
structure, some guidance. Sometimes it's just getting in the habit of actually showing up

240
00:21:54,160 --> 00:22:00,080
to do something. Yep. And so now you have something to show up and do. And so it could be the start

241
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,960
of some really new habits. So which would be great. Yeah. All right. We love it. We love it.

242
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:30,880
Give it a try. Listen to what you think. Yep. And until next time. Bye.
