Key Takeaway

The most effective workout isn't the one that burns the most calories or builds muscle fastest—it's the one you'll actually do consistently. Focus on three factors: genuine enjoyment (ask yourself: would I do this even without results?), effectiveness relative to time invested (strength training offers the highest ROI at just 1-2 days per week), and appropriateness for your life long-term. Start with one full-body strength session weekly, 8,000 daily steps, and one play activity. This sustainable approach beats any intensive program you'll quit in weeks.

Episode Overview

The hosts discuss how to choose the right workout routine by focusing on enjoyment, effectiveness relative to time investment, and long-term sustainability. They emphasize that strength training provides the best return on investment for most fitness goals, requiring only 1-2 sessions per week to see significant results.

Main Insights

The Enjoyment Paradox in Exercise

Many people believe they enjoy certain workouts when they actually have an unhealthy relationship with them—either through punishment-based thinking or association with past results. Ask yourself: 'Would I do this if it gave me no results?' This reveals true enjoyment versus results-driven attachment. Building a genuine relationship with exercise takes time, like dating before marriage.

Strength Training's Unmatched ROI

Strength training is unique because it requires minimal time investment for maximum results. Just one day per week of full-body strength training produces significant strength gains for the average person. Even doing five sets of squats weekly, consistently over years, would dramatically improve mobility, energy, and metabolism—something that would require far more time with other modalities.

The 'Have To' vs 'Get To' Mentality

Professional athletes often lose their love for their sport when it becomes a job. The shift from 'I have to work out' to 'I get to work out' fundamentally changes your relationship with exercise. Forcing yourself creates a path to quitting; approaching it as a privilege creates sustainability.

Effective Coaching Focuses on Enjoyment First

The most important thing a coach can do isn't perfect programming—it's making each session enjoyable. When workouts feel good rather than punishing, clients look forward to training. This creates a positive feedback loop where consistency leads to results, which reinforces the behavior.

Notable Quotes

"Would you do this form of activity if all you got from it was you did that you just did that activity? Like that's a really good way to know whether or not you enjoy it."

— Sal

"I almost always get the 'Well, my friend who runs all the time, she's got this great ass' and they will always point to that or they were 'Well, I was in the best shape of my life when I used to run, you know, two or three marathons a year and so I just want to get back to that.'"

— Justin

"You can fall in love with an activity because of how it makes you feel and because of how it improves the quality of your life. So you can't necessarily separate the two."

— Sal

"I look I've never looked forward to working out. I look forward to it now cuz I feel good. I don't feel like I got the crap beat out of me. I'm getting stronger. It almost feels like I'm doing nothing and my body's responding."

— Sal (quoting client)

"There's a difference between I have to work out and I get to work out. That's an attitude. I have to go do this thing. Well, if you keep going at it with that I have to, where you feel like you're forced, you're moving towards a relationship where you're going to eventually quit it."

— Sal

Action Items

  • 1
    Start with the Minimal Effective Dose

    Begin with 1-2 full-body strength training sessions per week, aim for 8,000 daily steps, and add one weekly play activity (hiking, swimming, frisbee, etc.). This sustainable baseline works for most people and can be built upon over time.

  • 2
    Track Your Progress to See the ROI

    Keep detailed records of weights lifted and performance metrics. People forget their starting point within weeks and think they've plateaued when they've actually made significant progress. Reviewing this data reinforces that your minimal investment is working.

  • 3
    Make Sessions Enjoyable, Not Just Effective

    Add elements that increase enjoyment: train with a friend, listen to audiobooks during cardio, join a gym with great community, or work with a coach who makes sessions engaging. The activity itself doesn't have to be inherently fun if you can attach enjoyment to it.

  • 4
    Question Your Own Exercise Beliefs

    Challenge what you think you enjoy or need. More than half of people are wrong about what modality works for them due to past associations, punishment mindsets, or trying to replicate a friend's results. Give new approaches at least several months before judging.

Uh how many times do you're 100% right. Uh how many times do people lie to themselves about what they people lie to themselves about what they people lie to themselves about what they enjoy doing? enjoy doing? enjoy doing? Um you know, people are like, "Oh, I Um you know, people are like, "Oh, I Um you know, people are like, "Oh, I love running every single day." Uh and love running every single day." Uh and love running every single day." Uh and then you try a different modality to get then you try a different modality to get then you try a different modality to get better results and suddenly they're better results and suddenly they're better results and suddenly they're like, "I actually didn't like running so like, "I actually didn't like running so like, "I actually didn't like running so much." I guess a good way to answer it much." I guess a good way to answer it much." I guess a good way to answer it cuz it's there's nuance to it. We're cuz it's there's nuance to it. We're cuz it's there's nuance to it. We're going to get to that, but one way to going to get to that, but one way to going to get to that, but one way to answer this is like, "Would you do this answer this is like, "Would you do this answer this is like, "Would you do this if you got no results from it?" if you got no results from it?" if you got no results from it?" >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Would you do this form of activity if >> Would you do this form of activity if >> Would you do this form of activity if all you got from it was you did that you all you got from it was you did that you all you got from it was you did that you just did that activity? Like that's a just did that activity? Like that's a just did that activity? Like that's a really good way to know whether or not really good way to know whether or not really good way to know whether or not you enjoy it. you enjoy it. you enjoy it. >> I mean and that's a great way to >> I mean and that's a great way to >> I mean and that's a great way to position that when you get somebody who position that when you get somebody who position that when you get somebody who says something like that, right? Like or says something like that, right? Like or says something like that, right? Like or they tell you something like, "Hey, I they tell you something like, "Hey, I they tell you something like, "Hey, I really want to build this butt or I want really want to build this butt or I want really want to build this butt or I want to look this way, um but I love running to look this way, um but I love running to look this way, um but I love running marathons." marathons." marathons." >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And so you ask them like, "Well, if >> And so you ask them like, "Well, if >> And so you ask them like, "Well, if running marathons never got you that running marathons never got you that running marathons never got you that body or never got you that butt, would body or never got you that butt, would body or never got you that butt, would you still do it?" you still do it?" you still do it?" And if they say, "Yes, I love it." Okay, And if they say, "Yes, I love it." Okay, And if they say, "Yes, I love it." Okay, well, then then we got to find a way to well, then then we got to find a way to well, then then we got to find a way to include We got to find a way to include include We got to find a way to include include We got to find a way to include some some runs in there to to let you some some runs in there to to let you some some runs in there to to let you enjoy that cuz I think that's important enjoy that cuz I think that's important enjoy that cuz I think that's important to overall health. to overall health. to overall health. >> Exactly. It's like the question of like, >> Exactly. It's like the question of like, >> Exactly. It's like the question of like, "What would you do uh for a living if "What would you do uh for a living if "What would you do uh for a living if you did if you had all the money in the you did if you had all the money in the you did if you had all the money in the world?" And what tends to come out is a world?" And what tends to come out is a world?" And what tends to come out is a thing that someone would enjoy. thing that someone would enjoy. thing that someone would enjoy. >> Right, right. But the answer you you you >> Right, right. But the answer you you you >> Right, right. But the answer you you you you typically get when I say that and I you typically get when I say that and I you typically get when I say that and I position it like that, position it like that, position it like that, I almost always get the "Well, my friend I almost always get the "Well, my friend I almost always get the "Well, my friend who runs all the time, she's got this who runs all the time, she's got this who runs all the time, she's got this great ass and she great ass and she great ass and she they will always point to that or they they will always point to that or they they will always point to that or they were "Well, I was in the best shape of were "Well, I was in the best shape of were "Well, I was in the best shape of my life when I used to run, you know, my life when I used to run, you know, my life when I used to run, you know, two or three marathons a year and so I two or three marathons a year and so I two or three marathons a year and so I just want to get back to that." And so just want to get back to that." And so just want to get back to that." And so so that you you you're you're you also so that you you you're you're you also so that you you you're you're you also are positioned with this this other are positioned with this this other are positioned with this this other challenge. challenge. challenge. >> what comes you're 100% right cuz what I >> what comes you're 100% right cuz what I >> what comes you're 100% right cuz what I said was a super oversimplification. said was a super oversimplification. said was a super oversimplification. Like would you enjoy doing this if it Like would you enjoy doing this if it Like would you enjoy doing this if it gave you no results? Super gave you no results? Super gave you no results? Super oversimplification because in real life oversimplification because in real life oversimplification because in real life what contributes to whether or not you what contributes to whether or not you what contributes to whether or not you like what you do is like what you do is like what you do is A or one, I enjoy doing it because I A or one, I enjoy doing it because I A or one, I enjoy doing it because I just enjoy doing it. But then it's also just enjoy doing it. But then it's also just enjoy doing it. But then it's also what it does for me which contributes to what it does for me which contributes to what it does for me which contributes to my enjoyment, right? Like my enjoyment, right? Like my enjoyment, right? Like you can fall in love with it an activity you can fall in love with it an activity you can fall in love with it an activity because of how it makes you feel and because of how it makes you feel and because of how it makes you feel and because of how it improves the quality because of how it improves the quality because of how it improves the quality of your life. So you can't necessarily of your life. So you can't necessarily of your life. So you can't necessarily separate the two. 100% separate the two. 100% separate the two. 100% >> Yeah, and as a coach I consider these >> Yeah, and as a coach I consider these >> Yeah, and as a coach I consider these like hot buttons. So if if somebody's like hot buttons. So if if somebody's like hot buttons. So if if somebody's like describes in detail like, you know, like describes in detail like, you know, like describes in detail like, you know, I really love running. I've always I really love running. I've always I really love running. I've always loved, you know, so I know that like loved, you know, so I know that like loved, you know, so I know that like that form of movement is enjoyable for that form of movement is enjoyable for that form of movement is enjoyable for them and I can kind of like start them and I can kind of like start them and I can kind of like start catering, prescribing something that catering, prescribing something that catering, prescribing something that like would actually benefit them cuz I like would actually benefit them cuz I like would actually benefit them cuz I know they're going to keep showing up. know they're going to keep showing up. know they're going to keep showing up. >> No, I had a woman this reminds me of a >> No, I had a woman this reminds me of a >> No, I had a woman this reminds me of a client I had years ago. This woman that client I had years ago. This woman that client I had years ago. This woman that I trained, she was in her at the time I I trained, she was in her at the time I I trained, she was in her at the time I think late 40s. think late 40s. think late 40s. Um and she wanted to hire me because she Um and she wanted to hire me because she Um and she wanted to hire me because she started to get kind of nagging aches and started to get kind of nagging aches and started to get kind of nagging aches and pains from her favorite form of exercise pains from her favorite form of exercise pains from her favorite form of exercise or activity which was dancing. or activity which was dancing. or activity which was dancing. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> So she did salsa dancing and I think she >> So she did salsa dancing and I think she >> So she did salsa dancing and I think she did like four days a week.

She did it for years. It kept her pretty darn fit and she came It kept her pretty darn fit and she came It kept her pretty darn fit and she came to me because she started getting kind to me because she started getting kind to me because she started getting kind of these nagging issues and so she of these nagging issues and so she of these nagging issues and so she really had no interest in strength really had no interest in strength really had no interest in strength training aside from the fact that she training aside from the fact that she training aside from the fact that she heard that strength training could heard that strength training could heard that strength training could prevent some of these aches and pains. prevent some of these aches and pains. prevent some of these aches and pains. And so what I did is we applied strength And so what I did is we applied strength And so what I did is we applied strength training as a way to allow her to training as a way to allow her to training as a way to allow her to continue to do the thing that she loved continue to do the thing that she loved continue to do the thing that she loved so much. And this is why this is such an so much. And this is why this is such an so much.

It and this is a very complex question. It and this is a very complex question. It sounds very simple and I over simplified sounds very simple and I over simplified sounds very simple and I over simplified it earlier. it earlier. it earlier. But it's such an important question But it's such an important question But it's such an important question because if the thing that you're doing because if the thing that you're doing because if the thing that you're doing for exercise is something that you hate, for exercise is something that you hate, for exercise is something that you hate, that you despise and I know people that you despise and I know people that you despise and I know people listening know exactly what I'm talking listening know exactly what I'm talking listening know exactly what I'm talking about.

You figure this out by the way as a You figure this out by the way as a You figure this out by the way as a coach when you train people for a long coach when you train people for a long coach when you train people for a long enough period of time, enough period of time, enough period of time, you start to realize that the most you start to realize that the most you start to realize that the most important thing I can do and I got to important thing I can do and I got to important thing I can do and I got to train people properly. I got to make train people properly. I got to make train people properly. I got to make sure they exercise the right way, don't sure they exercise the right way, don't sure they exercise the right way, don't hurt themselves, you know, do all the hurt themselves, you know, do all the hurt themselves, you know, do all the right stuff. But the most important right stuff. But the most important right stuff. But the most important thing I could do as a coach is make this thing I could do as a coach is make this thing I could do as a coach is make this an enjoyable session every time you show an enjoyable session every time you show an enjoyable session every time you show up. And so there are ways to do this. up. And so there are ways to do this. up. And so there are ways to do this. What does this look like? Well, let's What does this look like? Well, let's What does this look like? Well, let's say you're like, look, I'm going to walk say you're like, look, I'm going to walk say you're like, look, I'm going to walk every day.

So there are ways to make your there. So there are ways to make your there. So there are ways to make your help yourself enjoy something. And there help yourself enjoy something. And there help yourself enjoy something. And there also are ways to help you to make also are ways to help you to make also are ways to help you to make yourself hate something. Like here's a yourself hate something. Like here's a yourself hate something. Like here's a great way to make you hate something, great way to make you hate something, great way to make you hate something, okay? That you do it so hard that each okay? That you do it so hard that each okay? That you do it so hard that each time you regret that you actually did time you regret that you actually did time you regret that you actually did that workout where you leave and you that workout where you leave and you that workout where you leave and you feel like you're dying. This is a great feel like you're dying. This is a great feel like you're dying. This is a great way to hate working out. And I know way to hate working out. And I know way to hate working out. And I know sometimes people love that. You keep sometimes people love that. You keep sometimes people love that. You keep doing that long enough and you're going doing that long enough and you're going doing that long enough and you're going to hate it. I promise you. If every to hate it. I promise you. If every to hate it. I promise you. If every workout feels like you survived, at some workout feels like you survived, at some workout feels like you survived, at some point you're going to wake up and be point you're going to wake up and be point you're going to wake up and be like, I really don't want to do do And like, I really don't want to do do And like, I really don't want to do do And that's a fast track to a bad that's a fast track to a bad that's a fast track to a bad relationship with exercise. relationship with exercise. relationship with exercise. >> Let me Let me address the the common one >> Let me Let me address the the common one >> Let me Let me address the the common one that you just said because it is common that you just said because it is common that you just said because it is common that you would get a client that would that you would get a client that would that you would get a client that would say something like I don't like say something like I don't like say something like I don't like anything. I don't like any of that. anything. I don't like any of that. anything. I don't like any of that. Um Um Um it's more often if not always it's more often if not always it's more often if not always the person who It's like uh the person who It's like uh the person who It's like uh they've had five jobs that they've tried they've had five jobs that they've tried they've had five jobs that they've tried and none of them paid them. and none of them paid them. and none of them paid them. They went to work for 6 months at this They went to work for 6 months at this They went to work for 6 months at this new job and they got no check and they new job and they got no check and they new job and they got no check and they got no paid and they hated it so they got no paid and they hated it so they got no paid and they hated it so they went to the next job. Same thing. And went to the next job. Same thing. And went to the next job. Same thing. And then so their relationship with that then so their relationship with that then so their relationship with that work or all the all those modalities is work or all the all those modalities is work or all the all those modalities is horrible because the ROI was terrible. horrible because the ROI was terrible. horrible because the ROI was terrible. >> That's right. >> That's right. >> That's right. >> Now >> Now >> Now >> That's 100%. >> That's 100%. >> That's 100%. >> if I can show you a way to get And by >> if I can show you a way to get And by >> if I can show you a way to get And by the way, ROI isn't always mirror and and the way, ROI isn't always mirror and and the way, ROI isn't always mirror and and scale and body fat percentage to the scale and body fat percentage to the scale and body fat percentage to the point where you're going. If I can show point where you're going. If I can show point where you're going. If I can show you how just adding a walk for 10 you how just adding a walk for 10 you how just adding a walk for 10 minutes after your meals all of a sudden minutes after your meals all of a sudden minutes after your meals all of a sudden makes your digestion better and you makes your digestion better and you makes your digestion better and you sleep better which then makes your mood sleep better which then makes your mood sleep better which then makes your mood better. If I can connect those dots for better. If I can connect those dots for better. If I can connect those dots for you, a 10-minute walk you, a 10-minute walk you, a 10-minute walk >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I can I can start to enjoy that cuz I I >> I can I can start to enjoy that cuz I I >> I can I can start to enjoy that cuz I I can I can connect the ROI and then I can I can connect the ROI and then I can I can connect the ROI and then I have something to build on. And then if have something to build on. And then if have something to build on. And then if I can show you, hey, if we just did five I can show you, hey, if we just did five I can show you, hey, if we just did five sets of squats in a week sets of squats in a week sets of squats in a week >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> that's it, nothing else >> that's it, nothing else >> that's it, nothing else and I and I show you strength gains cuz and I and I show you strength gains cuz and I and I show you strength gains cuz I balance that out with proper nutrition I balance that out with proper nutrition I balance that out with proper nutrition >> down. >> down. >> down. >> Yeah. Pain goes down, strength goes up >> Yeah. Pain goes down, strength goes up >> Yeah. Pain goes down, strength goes up and you start to build a little bit of a and you start to build a little bit of a and you start to build a little bit of a butt or something and that's all you did butt or something and that's all you did butt or something and that's all you did was five sets of squats all week and was five sets of squats all week and was five sets of squats all week and nothing else and your 10-minute If I can nothing else and your 10-minute If I can nothing else and your 10-minute If I can And then so you start getting this And then so you start getting this And then so you start getting this connection to a return on your connection to a return on your connection to a return on your investment that you go, I kind of do investment that you go, I kind of do investment that you go, I kind of do like this. like this. like this. >> There's also this other point too, Adam, >> There's also this other point too, Adam, >> There's also this other point too, Adam, because you brought up the jobs thing. because you brought up the jobs thing. because you brought up the jobs thing. It's really interesting. Um you see this It's really interesting. Um you see this It's really interesting. Um you see this with athletes. with athletes. with athletes. Athletes who love the sport that they Athletes who love the sport that they Athletes who love the sport that they play, absolutely genuinely love it, who play, absolutely genuinely love it, who play, absolutely genuinely love it, who get to the professional level there's a get to the professional level there's a get to the professional level there's a psychological phenomenon where many of psychological phenomenon where many of psychological phenomenon where many of them stop start not loving what they did them stop start not loving what they did them stop start not loving what they did because now it's almost it's a job. because now it's almost it's a job. because now it's almost it's a job. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> It's [snorts] a job. And so, I know >> It's [snorts] a job. And so, I know >> It's [snorts] a job. And so, I know people have heard this before, and I people have heard this before, and I people have heard this before, and I think this is again an think this is again an think this is again an oversimplification, but there's truth in oversimplification, but there's truth in oversimplification, but there's truth in it, which is there's a difference it, which is there's a difference it, which is there's a difference between I have to work out and I get to between I have to work out and I get to between I have to work out and I get to work out. And [snorts] so, that's an work out. And [snorts] so, that's an work out. And [snorts] so, that's an attitude. I have to go do this thing. attitude. I have to go do this thing. attitude. I have to go do this thing. Well, if you keep going at it with that Well, if you keep going at it with that Well, if you keep going at it with that I have to, where you feel like you're I have to, where you feel like you're I have to, where you feel like you're forced, you're moving towards a forced, you're moving towards a forced, you're moving towards a relationship where you're going to relationship where you're going to relationship where you're going to eventually quit it. Versus I get to go eventually quit it. Versus I get to go eventually quit it.

Just like a job. Oh, I have to work way. Just like a job. Oh, I have to work way. Just like a job. Oh, I have to work cuz I got to pay these bills versus man, cuz I got to pay these bills versus man, cuz I got to pay these bills versus man, I get to I get to go to work. It's a I get to I get to go to work. It's a I get to I get to go to work. It's a different mentality completely. But, to different mentality completely. But, to different mentality completely. But, to to point to go kind of the direction you to point to go kind of the direction you to point to go kind of the direction you are, are, are, here's part of what we're talking about, here's part of what we're talking about, here's part of what we're talking about, which is how effective is this method which is how effective is this method which is how effective is this method for your goal? for your goal? for your goal? And now, how do you determine And now, how do you determine And now, how do you determine effectiveness? Here's the Here's the way effectiveness? Here's the Here's the way effectiveness? Here's the Here's the way you determine it. It's not how great how you determine it. It's not how great how you determine it. It's not how great how fast it gets you to your goals. It's not fast it gets you to your goals. It's not fast it gets you to your goals. It's not that. It's how much time do you invest that. It's how much time do you invest that. It's how much time do you invest versus how much you get out? Yes, right. versus how much you get out? Yes, right. versus how much you get out? Yes, right. That's effectiveness, because I can give That's effectiveness, because I can give That's effectiveness, because I can give you a workout that gives you great you a workout that gives you great you a workout that gives you great results that requires, you know, 40 results that requires, you know, 40 results that requires, you know, 40 hours a week of investment, and I don't hours a week of investment, and I don't hours a week of investment, and I don't care how great the results are, you're care how great the results are, you're care how great the results are, you're not going to do it. You're not going to not going to do it. You're not going to not going to do it. You're not going to work out 40 hours a week. But, if I can work out 40 hours a week. But, if I can work out 40 hours a week. But, if I can show you a form of exercise where you show you a form of exercise where you show you a form of exercise where you can invest very little time in can invest very little time in can invest very little time in comparison to the results that you get, comparison to the results that you get, comparison to the results that you get, a lot of people, this is something that a lot of people, this is something that a lot of people, this is something that people really like, and this contributes people really like, and this contributes people really like, and this contributes a lot to the fact that they enjoy it. a lot to the fact that they enjoy it. a lot to the fact that they enjoy it. One form of exercise does this for a lot One form of exercise does this for a lot One form of exercise does this for a lot of different goals, and that's strength of different goals, and that's strength of different goals, and that's strength training. What's unique about strength training. What's unique about strength training. What's unique about strength training? Yes, it builds muscle, it training? Yes, it builds muscle, it training? Yes, it builds muscle, it builds strength, but it's unique in the builds strength, but it's unique in the builds strength, but it's unique in the sense that you don't need a lot of it to sense that you don't need a lot of it to sense that you don't need a lot of it to get really good results. get really good results. get really good results. When you're training with other When you're training with other When you're training with other modalities, you tend to need to invest a modalities, you tend to need to invest a modalities, you tend to need to invest a lot more time to get something back from lot more time to get something back from lot more time to get something back from it. Like, if I'm just trying to burn it. Like, if I'm just trying to burn it. Like, if I'm just trying to burn calories calories calories or build endurance, I got to do a lot to or build endurance, I got to do a lot to or build endurance, I got to do a lot to really build lots of endurance. Strength really build lots of endurance. Strength really build lots of endurance. Strength training, average person does one day a training, average person does one day a training, average person does one day a week of strength training, you're going week of strength training, you're going week of strength training, you're going to see significant strength gains for a to see significant strength gains for a to see significant strength gains for a while. while. while. >> I'll back it off even more, like I said. >> I'll back it off even more, like I said. >> I'll back it off even more, like I said.

Once a week they always do five sets of Once a week they always do five sets of Once a week they always do five sets of squats. Over years, how good that person squats. Over years, how good that person squats. Over years, how good that person would get at that at that movement and would get at that at that movement and would get at that at that movement and the the benefits that come from knowing the the benefits that come from knowing the the benefits that come from knowing how to do a proper good squat and the how to do a proper good squat and the how to do a proper good squat and the strength gains over the time and what strength gains over the time and what strength gains over the time and what that would do to your body, to your that would do to your body, to your that would do to your body, to your mobility, to your energy, to your mobility, to your energy, to your mobility, to your energy, to your metabolism. I mean, there there's such a metabolism. I mean, there there's such a metabolism. I mean, there there's such a huge ROI on that. huge ROI on that. huge ROI on that. >> I have a guy that I'm training right >> I have a guy that I'm training right >> I have a guy that I'm training right now, good friend of mine, very smart now, good friend of mine, very smart now, good friend of mine, very smart guy, highly educated, works in the guy, highly educated, works in the guy, highly educated, works in the medical field. He's always been a medical field. He's always been a medical field. He's always been a cyclist, he's always been a runner. He's cyclist, he's always been a runner. He's cyclist, he's always been a runner. He's always tried to stay fit and I started always tried to stay fit and I started always tried to stay fit and I started training him, training him, training him, you know, we start working out once a you know, we start working out once a you know, we start working out once a week together. And I'm explaining to him week together. And I'm explaining to him week together. And I'm explaining to him how exercise really works, how it we how exercise really works, how it we how exercise really works, how it we send this signal, we're looking for send this signal, we're looking for send this signal, we're looking for adaptation. You're already an ER doc, adaptation. You're already an ER doc, adaptation. You're already an ER doc, you've got lot lots of stress, your you've got lot lots of stress, your you've got lot lots of stress, your sleep is crap half the time. So, we sleep is crap half the time. So, we sleep is crap half the time. So, we can't apply too much stress. So, I'm can't apply too much stress. So, I'm can't apply too much stress. So, I'm telling him all this stuff. Logically, telling him all this stuff. Logically, telling him all this stuff. Logically, he gets it. He's a smart guy. And I can he gets it. He's a smart guy. And I can he gets it. He's a smart guy. And I can communicate it very well, right? So, communicate it very well, right? So, communicate it very well, right? So, I've been doing this for a long time. I've been doing this for a long time. I've been doing this for a long time. So, he gets it, but as we're training, So, he gets it, but as we're training, So, he gets it, but as we're training, you could tell he's like, wait, maybe I you could tell he's like, wait, maybe I you could tell he's like, wait, maybe I should go harder. Like, are you sure I should go harder. Like, are you sure I should go harder. Like, are you sure I shouldn't go hard? So, should I do more shouldn't go hard? So, should I do more shouldn't go hard? So, should I do more on my off days? And I'm like, listen, on my off days? And I'm like, listen, on my off days? And I'm like, listen, if you're getting stronger in here, if you're getting stronger in here, if you're getting stronger in here, which you are, it's working. And so, which you are, it's working. And so, which you are, it's working. And so, I've been working with this guy now for I've been working with this guy now for I've been working with this guy now for eight weeks and he come and he comes in eight weeks and he come and he comes in eight weeks and he come and he comes in now and he's like, you know what? I now and he's like, you know what? I now and he's like, you know what? I heard you, I believed you heard you, I believed you heard you, I believed you intellectually, but I didn't feel the intellectually, but I didn't feel the intellectually, but I didn't feel the belief cuz I didn't experience it.

He goes, I look I've never looked forward goes, I look I've never looked forward goes, I look I've never looked forward to working out. I look forward to it now to working out. I look forward to it now to working out. I look forward to it now cuz I feel good. I don't feel like I got cuz I feel good. I don't feel like I got cuz I feel good. I don't feel like I got the crap beat out of me. I'm getting the crap beat out of me. I'm getting the crap beat out of me. I'm getting stronger. It almost feels like I'm doing stronger.

Our first question is from Chell's Lab. What is optimal body fat percentage and What is optimal body fat percentage and What is optimal body fat percentage and muscle mass for women? How do you know muscle mass for women? How do you know muscle mass for women? How do you know when to stop when it's not for when to stop when it's not for when to stop when it's not for aesthetics? So, there's there's two ways aesthetics? So, there's there's two ways aesthetics? So, there's there's two ways to look at this. One of them is to look at this. One of them is to look at this. One of them is backwards and the other way is the right backwards and the other way is the right backwards and the other way is the right way to look at it. So, the backwards way way to look at it. So, the backwards way way to look at it. So, the backwards way is to constantly test your body fat is to constantly test your body fat is to constantly test your body fat percentage and muscle mass and try to percentage and muscle mass and try to percentage and muscle mass and try to hit some kind of target. hit some kind of target. hit some kind of target. That's the backwards way. The right way That's the backwards way. The right way That's the backwards way. The right way to do it is to do the right things and to do it is to do the right things and to do it is to do the right things and allow your body to fall where it's going allow your body to fall where it's going allow your body to fall where it's going to fall. And the reason why I'm saying to fall. And the reason why I'm saying to fall. And the reason why I'm saying that is because I can give a range. that is because I can give a range. that is because I can give a range. Look, I can give a range right now and Look, I can give a range right now and Look, I can give a range right now and say say say for most women a healthy for most women a healthy for most women a healthy body fat percentage with good hormones body fat percentage with good hormones body fat percentage with good hormones and good lean mass and all that stuff and good lean mass and all that stuff and good lean mass and all that stuff and fitness is probably going to be and fitness is probably going to be and fitness is probably going to be somewhere in the low 20s body fat somewhere in the low 20s body fat somewhere in the low 20s body fat between 20 to let's say 25 26% body fat between 20 to let's say 25 26% body fat between 20 to let's say 25 26% body fat give or take. But uh there's a wide give or take. But uh there's a wide give or take. But uh there's a wide variance there. variance there. variance there. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> And I think if a woman was eating whole >> And I think if a woman was eating whole >> And I think if a woman was eating whole natural foods, getting good sleep, she natural foods, getting good sleep, she natural foods, getting good sleep, she was exercising appropriately, and she was exercising appropriately, and she was exercising appropriately, and she was doing that for a long enough period was doing that for a long enough period was doing that for a long enough period of time, her body will will fall to of time, her body will will fall to of time, her body will will fall to where it's supposed to be and that's the where it's supposed to be and that's the where it's supposed to be and that's the ideal place that she needs to be. What ideal place that she needs to be. What ideal place that she needs to be. What happens when you do this backwards is I happens when you do this backwards is I happens when you do this backwards is I start chasing a body fat percentage start chasing a body fat percentage start chasing a body fat percentage um and I'm like, "Well, I'm supposed to um and I'm like, "Well, I'm supposed to um and I'm like, "Well, I'm supposed to be I know they said low 20s. I'm at 24. be I know they said low 20s. I'm at 24. be I know they said low 20s. I'm at 24. Maybe it should be 20." Maybe it should be 20." Maybe it should be 20." And you start pressing into that. And you start pressing into that. And you start pressing into that. Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but then you start doing things that aren't then you start doing things that aren't then you start doing things that aren't necessarily uh better for consistency necessarily uh better for consistency necessarily uh better for consistency and longevity. So, I think where you and longevity. So, I think where you and longevity. So, I think where you fall is uh is going to be a result of of fall is uh is going to be a result of of fall is uh is going to be a result of of how you get there. I think you should how you get there. I think you should how you get there. I think you should just focus on how you get there rather just focus on how you get there rather just focus on how you get there rather than the result. than the result. than the result. >> In other words, building healthy >> In other words, building healthy >> In other words, building healthy behaviors around nutrition and exercise behaviors around nutrition and exercise behaviors around nutrition and exercise and movement and you should kind of and movement and you should kind of and movement and you should kind of naturally fall there. And I think I I naturally fall there. And I think I I naturally fall there. And I think I I agree with that cuz I I've seen um agree with that cuz I I've seen um agree with that cuz I I've seen um probably like probably like probably like the good examples a lot of in from 18 to the good examples a lot of in from 18 to the good examples a lot of in from 18 to 24 for women. 24 for women. 24 for women. I've seen I've seen some women be able I've seen I've seen some women be able I've seen I've seen some women be able to hold 18% naturally just eating good, to hold 18% naturally just eating good, to hold 18% naturally just eating good, exercising, balance. exercising, balance. exercising, balance. >> I've seen as high as 28, 29 even. >> I've seen as high as 28, 29 even. >> I've seen as high as 28, 29 even. >> And I've and and then all the way up >> And I've and and then all the way up >> And I've and and then all the way up into probably the mid-20s. into probably the mid-20s. into probably the mid-20s. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And that could look very different on >> And that could look very different on >> And that could look very different on everybody's type. everybody's type. everybody's type. >> And so going for a look or a body fat >> And so going for a look or a body fat >> And so going for a look or a body fat percentage because we say this is a good percentage because we say this is a good percentage because we say this is a good place is a really tough thing to answer place is a really tough thing to answer place is a really tough thing to answer somebody. A much better approach is eat somebody. A much better approach is eat somebody. A much better approach is eat whole foods, hit your protein targets, whole foods, hit your protein targets, whole foods, hit your protein targets, strength train three times a week, make strength train three times a week, make strength train three times a week, make an effort to get 8 to 10,000 steps a an effort to get 8 to 10,000 steps a an effort to get 8 to 10,000 steps a day, make sure you do things that you day, make sure you do things that you day, make sure you do things that you love to do and enjoy, have balance in love to do and enjoy, have balance in love to do and enjoy, have balance in your relationship. It's like and then your relationship. It's like and then your relationship. It's like and then guess see where you fall. And do that guess see where you fall. And do that guess see where you fall. And do that consistently. consistently. consistently. >> and health markers are like your north >> and health markers are like your north >> and health markers are like your north star. star. star. >> And if you do that consistently, cuz >> And if you do that consistently, cuz >> And if you do that consistently, cuz that's the other thing is if you have that's the other thing is if you have that's the other thing is if you have these swings of I do that for a while, these swings of I do that for a while, these swings of I do that for a while, but then I eat like crap and I don't do but then I eat like crap and I don't do but then I eat like crap and I don't do these things then it's like it's hard these things then it's like it's hard these things then it's like it's hard and then that question comes up where and then that question comes up where and then that question comes up where it's like really try and just be it's like really try and just be it's like really try and just be consistent about that and and watch consistent about that and and watch consistent about that and and watch where your where your where your >> it puts you. >> it puts you. >> it puts you. >> Yeah, and see where it puts you and >> Yeah, and see where it puts you and >> Yeah, and see where it puts you and that's probably a good healthy place. that's probably a good healthy place. that's probably a good healthy place. >> Next question is from Nora Tulapriv. How >> Next question is from Nora Tulapriv. How >> Next question is from Nora Tulapriv. How do you increase the maintenance calories do you increase the maintenance calories do you increase the maintenance calories without gaining too much fat while without gaining too much fat while without gaining too much fat while simultaneously cutting down cardio? simultaneously cutting down cardio? simultaneously cutting down cardio? >> Yeah, by building muscle. >> Yeah, by building muscle. >> Yeah, by building muscle. >> So you increase your calories, you cut >> So you increase your calories, you cut >> So you increase your calories, you cut down cardio, you make strength the down cardio, you make strength the down cardio, you make strength the focus, focus, focus, the extra calories go to muscle. the extra calories go to muscle. the extra calories go to muscle. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Uh and so you don't gain too much body >> Uh and so you don't gain too much body >> Uh and so you don't gain too much body fat. Now I do want to be clear, some fat. Now I do want to be clear, some fat. Now I do want to be clear, some people need to gain body fat. people need to gain body fat. people need to gain body fat. So if this is a woman who's asking and So if this is a woman who's asking and So if this is a woman who's asking and she's walking around at 15% body fat, she's walking around at 15% body fat, she's walking around at 15% body fat, we're probably going to need to increase we're probably going to need to increase we're probably going to need to increase your body fat percentage uh to make you your body fat percentage uh to make you your body fat percentage uh to make you healthier and give you better healthier and give you better healthier and give you better performance. Not a lot, but you probably performance. Not a lot, but you probably performance. Not a lot, but you probably need to get yourself up to closer to 20. need to get yourself up to closer to 20. need to get yourself up to closer to 20. >> [snorts] >> [snorts] >> [snorts] >> But that being said, it's about building >> But that being said, it's about building >> But that being said, it's about building the muscle. So if you Here's what the muscle. So if you Here's what the muscle. So if you Here's what [clears throat] often happens. Often [clears throat] often happens. Often [clears throat] often happens. Often times I get someone like this, they're times I get someone like this, they're times I get someone like this, they're afraid of increasing their calories. I afraid of increasing their calories. I afraid of increasing their calories. I do what what saying, we cut down their do what what saying, we cut down their do what what saying, we cut down their cardio cuz they're doing too much of it. cardio cuz they're doing too much of it. cardio cuz they're doing too much of it. I bump their calories, we focus on I bump their calories, we focus on I bump their calories, we focus on strength, and they're blown away by how strength, and they're blown away by how strength, and they're blown away by how [snorts] little or no body fat they [snorts] little or no body fat they [snorts] little or no body fat they gain. They're absolutely I can't believe gain. They're absolutely I can't believe gain. They're absolutely I can't believe I'm not gaining any body fat. I'm eating I'm not gaining any body fat. I'm eating I'm not gaining any body fat. I'm eating 800 more calories. Okay, but what else 800 more calories. Okay, but what else 800 more calories. Okay, but what else are you noticing? Well, I'm way are you noticing? Well, I'm way are you noticing? Well, I'm way stronger. I'm lifting more weight. Uh I stronger. I'm lifting more weight. Uh I stronger. I'm lifting more weight. Uh I did gain a couple pounds on the scale, did gain a couple pounds on the scale, did gain a couple pounds on the scale, but seems to be all muscle. So, it's but seems to be all muscle. So, it's but seems to be all muscle. So, it's really about really about really about aiming it towards muscle by sending the aiming it towards muscle by sending the aiming it towards muscle by sending the right signal, um training appropriately, right signal, um training appropriately, right signal, um training appropriately, and then that's where those calories end and then that's where those calories end and then that's where those calories end up going. up going. up going. >> Yeah. I'd be interested to hear what uh >> Yeah. I'd be interested to hear what uh >> Yeah. I'd be interested to hear what uh cutting down cardio is where you're cutting down cardio is where you're cutting down cardio is where you're coming from. Because this this could coming from. Because this this could coming from. Because this this could also be challenging, too, if you if cuz also be challenging, too, if you if cuz also be challenging, too, if you if cuz somebody could say something like this somebody could say something like this somebody could say something like this to me, and and their cardio is training to me, and and their cardio is training to me, and and their cardio is training for a marathon every week, and their for a marathon every week, and their for a marathon every week, and their cutting down is still cutting down is still cutting down is still >> Too much. >> Too much. >> Too much. >> Yeah, still too much, and they're trying >> Yeah, still too much, and they're trying >> Yeah, still too much, and they're trying to reverse diet and build muscle. This to reverse diet and build muscle. This to reverse diet and build muscle. This can be difficult. If you're still can be difficult. If you're still can be difficult. If you're still sending a louder signal of cardio than sending a louder signal of cardio than sending a louder signal of cardio than you are of building muscle, this could you are of building muscle, this could you are of building muscle, this could be a challenge for you to build muscle. be a challenge for you to build muscle. be a challenge for you to build muscle. And so, I would be interested to hear And so, I would be interested to hear And so, I would be interested to hear exactly where that's at. Um exactly where that's at. Um exactly where that's at. Um normally, what I like to do is whatever normally, what I like to do is whatever normally, what I like to do is whatever my cuz normally, people are doing 3 to 5 my cuz normally, people are doing 3 to 5 my cuz normally, people are doing 3 to 5 hours of cardio a week, I like to switch hours of cardio a week, I like to switch hours of cardio a week, I like to switch that immediately from cardio to walking. that immediately from cardio to walking. that immediately from cardio to walking. And focus on building muscle. And focus on building muscle. And focus on building muscle. >> And >> And >> And >> Walking's a great form of >> Walking's a great form of >> Walking's a great form of activity for muscle building. activity for muscle building. activity for muscle building. >> And it's not such a drastic cut in >> And it's not such a drastic cut in >> And it's not such a drastic cut in movement and calorie burn that they're movement and calorie burn that they're movement and calorie burn that they're going to see this massive weight gain, going to see this massive weight gain, going to see this massive weight gain, especially if we shift over to strength especially if we shift over to strength especially if we shift over to strength training, and we we do a small increase training, and we we do a small increase training, and we we do a small increase in calories, then most all those extra in calories, then most all those extra in calories, then most all those extra calories will get partitioned over calories will get partitioned over calories will get partitioned over building muscle, metabolism will speed building muscle, metabolism will speed building muscle, metabolism will speed up, and we shouldn't see any real fat up, and we shouldn't see any real fat up, and we shouldn't see any real fat gain over the course of we look at it gain over the course of we look at it gain over the course of we look at it over a 30- or 60-day window, uh it'll be over a 30- or 60-day window, uh it'll be over a 30- or 60-day window, uh it'll be a nice transition. But, still trying to a nice transition. But, still trying to a nice transition. But, still trying to maintain some cardio cuz I don't want to maintain some cardio cuz I don't want to maintain some cardio cuz I don't want to put fat on, sometimes can send a put fat on, sometimes can send a put fat on, sometimes can send a conflicting signal of what we're trying conflicting signal of what we're trying conflicting signal of what we're trying to do. We're trying to reverse diet, to do. We're trying to reverse diet, to do. We're trying to reverse diet, we're trying to build muscle, but you're we're trying to build muscle, but you're we're trying to build muscle, but you're still hanging on to the cardio, still hanging on to the cardio, still hanging on to the cardio, >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> you know, a little bit, and a little bit >> you know, a little bit, and a little bit >> you know, a little bit, and a little bit to you is half of what you're doing to you is half of what you're doing to you is half of what you're doing before, but but what you're before, but but what you're before, but but what you're >> 10-15 miles a week. >> 10-15 miles a week. >> 10-15 miles a week. >> what you were doing before was marathon >> what you were doing before was marathon >> what you were doing before was marathon training, which is still ridiculous. So, training, which is still ridiculous. So, training, which is still ridiculous. So, I'd want to know more to be even more I'd want to know more to be even more I'd want to know more to be even more precise on what I'd prescribe here. precise on what I'd prescribe here. precise on what I'd prescribe here. >> Next question is from Matthew with >> Next question is from Matthew with >> Next question is from Matthew with faith. What movements should I faith. What movements should I faith. What movements should I concentrate on to help fix my forward concentrate on to help fix my forward concentrate on to help fix my forward rolled shoulder? rolled shoulder? rolled shoulder? >> I'm going to be >> I'm going to be >> I'm going to be I'm going to be just to be clear, you I'm going to be just to be clear, you I'm going to be just to be clear, you could do what I'm about to say in a way could do what I'm about to say in a way could do what I'm about to say in a way that will make your forward shoulders that will make your forward shoulders that will make your forward shoulders worse. Okay? So, typically it's rows. worse. Okay? So, typically it's rows. worse. Okay? So, typically it's rows. Typically it's all rows or row Typically it's all rows or row Typically it's all rows or row variations. Now, here's variations. Now, here's variations. Now, here's the key. The key is that you pull your the key. The key is that you pull your the key. The key is that you pull your shoulder blades back and down while you shoulder blades back and down while you shoulder blades back and down while you do the row. So, I can pull and do a row do the row. So, I can pull and do a row do the row. So, I can pull and do a row with forward shoulder and just use my with forward shoulder and just use my with forward shoulder and just use my lats lats lats >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> and actually make my forward shoulder >> and actually make my forward shoulder >> and actually make my forward shoulder worse. worse. worse. The key, again, you got to bring If you The key, again, you got to bring If you The key, again, you got to bring If you look at your shoulder blades, they need look at your shoulder blades, they need look at your shoulder blades, they need to come back and down, and that's what to come back and down, and that's what to come back and down, and that's what corrects or strengthens that kind of corrects or strengthens that kind of corrects or strengthens that kind of tall posture. Look, what we're what tall posture. Look, what we're what tall posture. Look, what we're what we're trying to strengthen are the we're trying to strengthen are the we're trying to strengthen are the rhomboids and mid to lower trapezius rhomboids and mid to lower trapezius rhomboids and mid to lower trapezius muscles, which are the ones that bring muscles, which are the ones that bring muscles, which are the ones that bring the shoulder blades back and down. If I the shoulder blades back and down. If I the shoulder blades back and down. If I don't do that, I can pull with my lats. don't do that, I can pull with my lats. don't do that, I can pull with my lats. I can pull a lot of weight with my lats, I can pull a lot of weight with my lats, I can pull a lot of weight with my lats, but it's not going to fix the issue that but it's not going to fix the issue that but it's not going to fix the issue that we're talking about here. we're talking about here. we're talking about here. >> I love doing >> I love doing >> I love doing uh just just having weights in my hands uh just just having weights in my hands uh just just having weights in my hands and like creating that posture position and like creating that posture position and like creating that posture position you're you're describing. you're you're describing. you're you're describing. >> Like a farmer walk? >> Like a farmer walk? >> Like a farmer walk? >> Like a farmer walk, but even before >> Like a farmer walk, but even before >> Like a farmer walk, but even before walking is just holding isometrically walking is just holding isometrically walking is just holding isometrically holding the weights. holding the weights. holding the weights. >> Setting them down is even a primer or >> Setting them down is even a primer or >> Setting them down is even a primer or just to kind of like spark that that just to kind of like spark that that just to kind of like spark that that that connection there. So, to your point that connection there. So, to your point that connection there. So, to your point is if you're just doing rows and you're is if you're just doing rows and you're is if you're just doing rows and you're not really conscious of what's happening not really conscious of what's happening not really conscious of what's happening with your shoulders as you're rowing, we with your shoulders as you're rowing, we with your shoulders as you're rowing, we could be reinforcing that uh bad could be reinforcing that uh bad could be reinforcing that uh bad pattern.

But, you know, I like to start with that, and then, you know, I do like with that, and then, you know, I do like with that, and then, you know, I do like to incorporate quite a bit of farmer to incorporate quite a bit of farmer to incorporate quite a bit of farmer walks with really good upright postural walks with really good upright postural walks with really good upright postural positioning. positioning. positioning. >> I would I would prescribe um prone >> I would I would prescribe um prone >> I would I would prescribe um prone cobras and band pull-aparts almost cobras and band pull-aparts almost cobras and band pull-aparts almost daily. daily. daily. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> To get [clears throat] them to get that >> To get [clears throat] them to get that >> To get [clears throat] them to get that get that that scapular articulation down get that that scapular articulation down get that that scapular articulation down and we're not like we're not going to be and we're not like we're not going to be and we're not like we're not going to be breaking down anything that I can't do breaking down anything that I can't do breaking down anything that I can't do so they can do it daily and practicing so they can do it daily and practicing so they can do it daily and practicing that and then doing what both of you are that and then doing what both of you are that and then doing what both of you are saying as far as your strength building saying as far as your strength building saying as far as your strength building exercises in your routines. Uh because exercises in your routines. Uh because exercises in your routines. Uh because depending on how bad the forward depending on how bad the forward depending on how bad the forward shoulders and stuff like that, if you shoulders and stuff like that, if you shoulders and stuff like that, if you just go right to a movement like rows to just go right to a movement like rows to just go right to a movement like rows to your point, it's been many clients your point, it's been many clients your point, it's been many clients before I've seen there they're rowing before I've seen there they're rowing before I've seen there they're rowing with their arms. with their arms. with their arms. >> Yep. >> Yep. >> Yep. >> And they're they're not articulating >> And they're they're not articulating >> And they're they're not articulating >> You got to actually literally physically >> You got to actually literally physically >> You got to actually literally physically move their shoulders back. move their shoulders back. move their shoulders back. >> Yes. And and so and that'll just >> Yes. And and so and that'll just >> Yes. And and so and that'll just exacerbate the problem especially they exacerbate the problem especially they exacerbate the problem especially they get strong doing it that way. Um and so get strong doing it that way. Um and so get strong doing it that way. Um and so doing good priming stuff like prone doing good priming stuff like prone doing good priming stuff like prone cobras, band pull apart stuff on a daily cobras, band pull apart stuff on a daily cobras, band pull apart stuff on a daily basis uh frequently if you can. basis uh frequently if you can. basis uh frequently if you can. And then when you get to the strength And then when you get to the strength And then when you get to the strength building type stuff, doing those farmer building type stuff, doing those farmer building type stuff, doing those farmer walks where you really articulate the walks where you really articulate the walks where you really articulate the scapula back, doing the seated rows and scapula back, doing the seated rows and scapula back, doing the seated rows and bent over rows uh is going to be the key bent over rows uh is going to be the key bent over rows uh is going to be the key to this for sure. to this for sure. to this for sure. >> Totally. >> Totally. >> Totally. >> Next question is from More Life Jojo. >> Next question is from More Life Jojo. >> Next question is from More Life Jojo.

Uh but I'm going to just I'm with me. Uh but I'm going to just I'm with me. Uh but I'm going to just I'm going to sell it. Okay, because this is going to sell it. Okay, because this is going to sell it. Okay, because this is 100% true. 100% true. 100% true. You have to always and I made this You have to always and I made this You have to always and I made this mistake many times. You have to always mistake many times. You have to always mistake many times. You have to always maintain a separation, a professional maintain a separation, a professional maintain a separation, a professional separation between you and your clients. separation between you and your clients. separation between you and your clients. And this is why it's so difficult. When And this is why it's so difficult. When And this is why it's so difficult. When you train people for 10 years, you when you train people for 10 years, you when you train people for 10 years, you when you see them twice a week for 10 years, you see them twice a week for 10 years, you see them twice a week for 10 years, you know them. They know you and it's you know them. They know you and it's you know them. They know you and it's very difficult. That that professional very difficult. That that professional very difficult. That that professional line it's it's so easy to blur it line it's it's so easy to blur it line it's it's so easy to blur it because because because you've known this person for a decade or you've known this person for a decade or you've known this person for a decade or even if it's just a year or two years even if it's just a year or two years even if it's just a year or two years and you want to hang out with them and and you want to hang out with them and and you want to hang out with them and you want to do things outside of the gym you want to do things outside of the gym you want to do things outside of the gym and you want to go on trips with them and you want to go on trips with them and you want to go on trips with them and you want to and you end up having a and you want to and you end up having a and you want to and you end up having a a a relationship that's both a a relationship that's both a a relationship that's both professional but then also not professional but then also not professional but then also not professional. And I'm going to say this professional. And I'm going to say this professional. And I'm going to say this right now, it will hamper your right now, it will hamper your right now, it will hamper your effectiveness as a trainer if you blur effectiveness as a trainer if you blur effectiveness as a trainer if you blur that line. When this person starts to that line. When this person starts to that line. When this person starts to see you outside of this kind of see you outside of this kind of see you outside of this kind of professional relationship, like we're professional relationship, like we're professional relationship, like we're just buddies, just buddies, just buddies, your effectiveness actually starts to your effectiveness actually starts to your effectiveness actually starts to drop. You'll still maintain your drop. You'll still maintain your drop. You'll still maintain your friendship with them uh but your friendship with them uh but your friendship with them uh but your effectiveness starts to drop. So, how do effectiveness starts to drop. So, how do effectiveness starts to drop. So, how do you maintain that? Well, um and I had no you maintain that? Well, um and I had no you maintain that? Well, um and I had no problem with knowing my clients' problem with knowing my clients' problem with knowing my clients' families and my clients knowing my families and my clients knowing my families and my clients knowing my families, but it would happen with families, but it would happen with families, but it would happen with professional events. I'd have events at professional events. I'd have events at professional events. I'd have events at my gym. I'd invite my [snorts] family, my gym. I'd invite my [snorts] family, my gym. I'd invite my [snorts] family, they'd meet my kids and stuff like that. they'd meet my kids and stuff like that. they'd meet my kids and stuff like that. But I didn't go travel with my clients But I didn't go travel with my clients But I didn't go travel with my clients and I had many clients who I knew very and I had many clients who I knew very and I had many clients who I knew very well who like, "Hey, let's go to Vegas well who like, "Hey, let's go to Vegas well who like, "Hey, let's go to Vegas together. Let's go to the Cancun together. Let's go to the Cancun together. Let's go to the Cancun together." Whatever. And I had I'd turn together." Whatever. And I had I'd turn together." Whatever. And I had I'd turn it down because I had too many it down because I had too many it down because I had too many experiences where I'd experiences where I'd experiences where I'd the line would get blurred and then the line would get blurred and then the line would get blurred and then either the client it felt weird asking either the client it felt weird asking either the client it felt weird asking them for money, if they started to them for money, if they started to them for money, if they started to become more flaky because we're buddies, become more flaky because we're buddies, become more flaky because we're buddies, uh or it was harder for me to influence uh or it was harder for me to influence uh or it was harder for me to influence them as their coach and trainer because them as their coach and trainer because them as their coach and trainer because they didn't view me so much as that and they didn't view me so much as that and they didn't view me so much as that and more as their friend. more as their friend. more as their friend. And I think that's an important one uh And I think that's an important one uh And I think that's an important one uh to talk about cuz it's so easy to kind to talk about cuz it's so easy to kind to talk about cuz it's so easy to kind of blur that line. So, of blur that line. So, of blur that line. So, two come to mind to me right away um two come to mind to me right away um two come to mind to me right away um related to mainly to financial. related to mainly to financial. related to mainly to financial. So, I I was faced with a a major ethical So, I I was faced with a a major ethical So, I I was faced with a a major ethical situation uh when I was scaling the boot situation uh when I was scaling the boot situation uh when I was scaling the boot camps. camps. camps. Um and and that weighed on me a lot Um and and that weighed on me a lot Um and and that weighed on me a lot because it was at a period of time when because it was at a period of time when because it was at a period of time when we were transitioning before Mind Pump. we were transitioning before Mind Pump. we were transitioning before Mind Pump. I was moving out of cannabis I was moving out of cannabis I was moving out of cannabis and so and so and so like coming from a time of making a lot like coming from a time of making a lot like coming from a time of making a lot of money and being very successful in of money and being very successful in of money and being very successful in the cannabis space, moving out of that the cannabis space, moving out of that the cannabis space, moving out of that before Mind Pump was the uh least amount before Mind Pump was the uh least amount before Mind Pump was the uh least amount of money I was probably making over the of money I was probably making over the of money I was probably making over the last almost you know 25 years of my last almost you know 25 years of my last almost you know 25 years of my life. life. life. And during that time I was scaling these And during that time I was scaling these And during that time I was scaling these boot camps and they were growing and boot camps and they were growing and boot camps and they were growing and doing well. doing well. doing well. And And And I was also and I tell the story about I was also and I tell the story about I was also and I tell the story about this is what made us all connect was I this is what made us all connect was I this is what made us all connect was I was aware of what would be best serving was aware of what would be best serving was aware of what would be best serving of those people. What they needed. of those people. What they needed. of those people. What they needed. >> So what they wanted versus what they >> So what they wanted versus what they >> So what they wanted versus what they needed. needed. needed. >> Yes. And I wrestled >> Yes. And I wrestled >> Yes. And I wrestled >> a very common one with the trainer. >> a very common one with the trainer. >> a very common one with the trainer. >> I wrestled with this because >> I wrestled with this because >> I wrestled with this because uh uh uh you know I and the lie I told myself was you know I and the lie I told myself was you know I and the lie I told myself was they love it. they love it. they love it. >> And they did love it. >> And they did love it. >> And they did love it. >> They love me. They love me and they >> They love me. They love me and they >> They love me. They love me and they high-fiving and this is what they wanted high-fiving and this is what they wanted high-fiving and this is what they wanted and they they I didn't have to close and they they I didn't have to close and they they I didn't have to close anyone. They were signing up every month anyone. They were signing up every month anyone. They were signing up every month and and and you know we built this great community you know we built this great community you know we built this great community and so I told myself all the other and so I told myself all the other and so I told myself all the other positive things that they got from it or positive things that they got from it or positive things that they got from it or whatever but deep down inside I knew I whatever but deep down inside I knew I whatever but deep down inside I knew I wasn't really physically helping them wasn't really physically helping them wasn't really physically helping them and most of them were you know these and most of them were you know these and most of them were you know these most of these clients were 40, 50, 60 most of these clients were 40, 50, 60 most of these clients were 40, 50, 60 years old and there was other things years old and there was other things years old and there was other things that they should be doing that they should be doing that they should be doing that I wasn't providing in a boot camp that I wasn't providing in a boot camp that I wasn't providing in a boot camp setting and I I wrestle and I and I setting and I I wrestle and I and I setting and I I wrestle and I and I needed the money. needed the money. needed the money. So I wrestled with that quite a bit. So I wrestled with that quite a bit. So I wrestled with that quite a bit. Ultimately I walked away from it. Ultimately I walked away from it. Ultimately I walked away from it. Ultimately I shut them down and I Ultimately I shut them down and I Ultimately I shut them down and I stopped doing them. I've told the story stopped doing them. I've told the story stopped doing them. I've told the story that that that the probably the guilt from that I the probably the guilt from that I the probably the guilt from that I continued to do that stuff for free continued to do that stuff for free continued to do that stuff for free for a mobility classes for a long time for a mobility classes for a long time for a mobility classes for a long time with those people. Um with those people. Um with those people. Um So that was the first one So that was the first one So that was the first one that comes to mind and then the other that comes to mind and then the other that comes to mind and then the other one was one was one was around similar time so probably why it around similar time so probably why it around similar time so probably why it was ethical and I struggled with it was was ethical and I struggled with it was was ethical and I struggled with it was cuz I knew I I needed I needed the the cuz I knew I I needed I needed the the cuz I knew I I needed I needed the the finances. finances. finances. Um but I knew [clears throat] what was Um but I knew [clears throat] what was Um but I knew [clears throat] what was right and what was wrong. Uh when I was right and what was wrong. Uh when I was right and what was wrong. Uh when I was in competing which was beginning of my in competing which was beginning of my in competing which was beginning of my pump my pump hadn't taken off yet. We're pump my pump hadn't taken off yet. We're pump my pump hadn't taken off yet. We're doing it but we're not paying ourselves doing it but we're not paying ourselves doing it but we're not paying ourselves yet. It's growing. There's a lot of yet. It's growing.
