all these questions from you all.
Now, this one's a little bit broad,

7
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:40.960
but I'm sure, oh maybe not. Um, what fitness stigma does

8
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:49.600
society need to get over? Fitness? Tima? Some of it's hard because

9
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.679
we're so niched out, like we're
so deep into this. I don't even

10
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:59.240
know what society always thinks on fitness. I'm not sure I do either.

11
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:04.599
This is our friend and member Miles
asking this question. Um. I think

12
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:10.400
that one of the ones I see
all the time people saying that people need

13
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.239
to get over is that if women
list waits, they'll be bulky. Yeah,

14
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.480
that's probably still fairly common in the
world, I'd imagine, Yeah,

15
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:25.159
I would say, And and women
who are jacked, like some women get

16
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.799
jacked without steroids or anything like that
because they just have a propensity to put

17
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.920
on a muscle and but what's wrong
with that? Yeah, yeah, so

18
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.560
much as genetic Yeah, I would
say, And this is for the world

19
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:46.840
and for fitness, is what effort
or hard work looks like. Yeah,

20
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.640
because we answered another question another day
about like the built different guy or the

21
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.879
motivational guy. I think that that
kind of portrays that you have to go

22
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.040
one hundred miles per hour to get
any type of physicis Yeah. And the

23
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:07.359
truth is it's one. It's literally
just about consistency over time. Three workouts

24
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.199
a week and I know this is
what every like baby trainer on the internet

25
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.400
says, but it's so true.
If you go three workouts hour and a

26
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:19.479
half hour a week, lock in
your protein and like get after it.

27
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.759
But like eight out of ten,
seven out of ten effort on those workouts,

28
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:29.240
you'll see insane results. Now,
part of the issue is is people

29
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.120
don't know what ten out of ten
effort looks like. So to get to

30
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.039
seven out of ten, often people
maybe don't push as hard as they need

31
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.240
in the gym. But if you
can get to a seven or eight out

32
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.800
of ten three or four days a
week, a little bit more protein,

33
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.159
a little bit more walking in a
year, you'll you will like and again

34
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.159
sounds so corny cliche, but you'll
literally be a different human. Like if

35
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.879
you double your steps, which for
most of you firely like me, well,

36
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.840
I walk like three four thousand steps
if I'm not trying. If I'm

37
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:04.080
not trying, I am moving.
If you double that, you double whatever

38
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.919
your protein intake is, just get
your body weight and protein and you follow

39
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.400
a training program where you're getting after
it, but you're not bashing your head

40
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.240
through a wall. That's kind of
all you need. Where again, yeah,

41
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.199
the Instagram, and I try not
to show because I do. I

42
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.159
do train five six times a week, but a lot of it's just part

43
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.000
of my lifestyle at this point.
Plus I own a gym, plus et

44
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.479
cetera. Et ceter is just more
convenient. But you don't need that,

45
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.520
and you definitely don't need to wake
up before I am and bash your head

46
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.879
against the wall and chug raw eggs. And like the extreme, the extreme

47
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.280
level of hard work and fitness is
more about consistency than it is like one

48
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.400
bout of work, you know,
And I get that, like the Rocky

49
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.919
Montages only work because it's extreme,
and it looks cool, but yeah,

50
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.520
lifting isn't cool, right, it's
consistency, it's boring, it's bland.

51
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.919
Diet's not cool. It's consistency.
It's boring. It's and the cardio isn't

52
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.759
as exciting as you want. Is
consistency, it's boring, it's bland.

53
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.360
Now you can mix up your cardio
a little bit to have fun. But

54
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.439
in terms of training, like you
need the same exercises for a year.

55
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.560
For foods, you probably need the
same foods for a year. Walking is

56
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.199
very boring, but it's so important, So I would probably say that's my

57
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.000
number one because then the same with
business. Everyone thinks that you're just like

58
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.160
ripping papers all day and fucking throwing
up a tornado in your business, but

59
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.959
or like your office. But it's
mostly just like staying on top of the

60
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.480
right things for a long period of
time, answering emails on time, small

61
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.920
progress here, small projects. They're
a little bit of creative, a little

62
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.920
bit of grass, but it's not
you can't. You can only do so

63
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.120
much in a day in the gym. You can only do so much in

64
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.319
a day in business. So yeah, it's more about the chug. Yeah,

65
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.639
I think that that figure out how
to be consistent. It's like,

66
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.839
is maybe the hardest thing for most
people is you know when it comes down

67
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:02.079
to the boring or whatever. I
mean, Like, I guess maybe one

68
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.120
trick to sticking to it would be
that I don't I don't. I don't

69
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:12.040
think like going I work out for
my mental health. Thing is is it's

70
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.240
not that I don't think it's the
working out that does it. It's that

71
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.519
your mind moves on from the thing
that you're obsessing about. Yeah, yeah,

72
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.279
just a shut off time. Yeah, but I think that I mean,

73
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.000
if you're using it that way,
it may be easier to stick to

74
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.319
the consistency. I don't know.
Yeah, I mean that's where you know,

75
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.040
we built this gym, and I
think a community is such a big

76
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.959
part of it. Like a little
bit of adherence is built in by having

77
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.000
a training partner, Right, You're
just more likely to not want to let

78
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.639
them down for some reason, Like
the world thinks that way. Um,

79
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.000
I forgot what the analogy is,
but like people made a bunch of analogies

80
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:57.120
of dogs, Like you're like,
have no issue not giving your dog a

81
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.399
chocolate or grape because you know it's
bad for him, Right, like you

82
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.680
won't do that for yourself or whatever
that. Yeah, it's the same idea

83
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.920
with the training partner, Like damn, I don't want to let Johnny down

84
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.319
because I know he's expecting me to
work out, rather than like not working

85
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:15.120
out, you're letting yourself down.
Yeah. But so instead of like trying

86
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.240
to change that within yourself, which
is like some deep rooted, weird human

87
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.199
shit, just find the community,
right, just find the answer that's outside

88
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.639
of like, no I need to
show up for myself. Like that's fine,

89
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.759
and maybe that works for some people, Yeah, but I think you're

90
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.680
better off just solving the answer a
different way, and that way is finding

91
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:35.639
a community, and so I think
that's yeah. In terms of finding consistency,

92
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.439
yeah, same thing like diet,
Well, just buy ten pounds of

93
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.720
meat and then I feel bad if
I don't cook it. Yeah, so

94
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.600
then I'm gonna cook it and need
it right because then I'm wasting money and

95
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:55.279
wasting time. So instead of like
the answer is it always right in front

96
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.040
of your face, And so for
me, all those answers work finding community,

97
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.600
finding training partner, rather than show
up for myself or whatever the internet

98
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:08.279
preaches. Instead of where you know, care about micronutrients and eat healthy food

99
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.519
for yourself. I don't care about
that, but I care about my bank

100
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.040
account. So I feel bad when
I buy a bunch of meat and don't

101
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.000
eat it right. Like, you
have to find the answers that work for

102
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.120
you rather than whatever this Internet says. Um, and it is. Yeah,

103
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.240
consistency, that's it. But I
don't know the other stigmas. And

104
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.800
I think that, um, you
know that it's a it's a pretty common

105
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:30.319
expression to say getting out of your
own way. Yeah, And I think

106
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:35.800
that, um, being overly gung
ho about something is getting in your own

107
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:41.079
way for sure, because you're you're
you're setting up, you know, standards

108
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.759
and expectations. It's going to be
a letdown. Yeah, that there's some

109
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.279
point you're gonna you're not you're not
gonna be able to meet and if you

110
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:53.240
can, um, if you can
hear on the microphones that there's some there's

111
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.439
there's a major lift going on out
in the gym right now. I don't

112
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.839
know what not over seven hundred pounds. I'm a freak out. Yeah,

113
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.800
they're deadlifting one thirty, acting like
a goddamn circus out there. Yeah,

114
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:09.600
that's got another point too is like
yeah, hype and yeah yeah yeah.

115
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.680
So anyway, that's that's. I
don't know what other stigmas there are other

116
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.800
than maybe you guys can hit us
with them. If you go to the

117
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.639
Discord Good Company Discord dot com,
we have one good question tap on the

118
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.319
left. The group chat is the
main one where you can kind of answer

119
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.240
chat post. Everyone's just talking.
But if you go to one good Question,

120
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.399
only ask questions there. But if
you want to tap in um right

121
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.959
and there, maybe tell us some
stigmas you think that the world thinks about

122
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.320
fitness, and we'll revisit this yeah
yeah, and maybe just tackle a few

123
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.720
and give our points because I really
don't know. Like I said, I

124
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.960
think we've both just been in this
too too long to even understand what the

125
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:45.519
outside perspective is on fitness. Probably
yeah, the protein chuggin grow into a

126
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.919
yeah, broccoli and chicken and rice, Yeah for every meal, that kind

127
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.799
of yeah, I don't really know, But tap in with some of those,

128
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.480
