If you want to get involved in the conversation, go to Good Company discord dot com. Join the Discord. You get exclusives on clothing, first DIBs on all our launches, and a like minded community. And is where we garnish gather, garnish gather all these questions from you all. Now, this one's a little bit broad, but I'm sure, oh maybe not. Um, what fitness stigma does society need to get over? Fitness? Tima? Some of it's hard because we're so niched out, like we're so deep into this. I don't even know what society always thinks on fitness. I'm not sure I do either.

0:59 This is our friend and member Miles asking this question. Um. I think that one of the ones I see all the time people saying that people need to get over is that if women list waits, they'll be bulky. Yeah, that's probably still fairly common in the world, I'd imagine, Yeah, I would say, And and women who are jacked, like some women get jacked without steroids or anything like that because they just have a propensity to put on a muscle and but what's wrong with that? Yeah, yeah, so much as genetic Yeah, I would say, And this is for the world and for fitness, is what effort or hard work looks like. Yeah, because we answered another question another day about like the built different guy or the motivational guy. I think that that kind of portrays that you have to go one hundred miles per hour to get any type of physicis Yeah. And the truth is it's one. It's literally just about consistency over time. Three workouts a week and I know this is what every like baby trainer on the internet says, but it's so true. If you go three workouts hour and a half hour a week, lock in your protein and like get after it.

2:19 But like eight out of ten, seven out of ten effort on those workouts, you'll see insane results. Now, part of the issue is is people don't know what ten out of ten effort looks like. So to get to seven out of ten, often people maybe don't push as hard as they need in the gym. But if you can get to a seven or eight out of ten three or four days a week, a little bit more protein, a little bit more walking in a year, you'll you will like and again sounds so corny cliche, but you'll literally be a different human. Like if you double your steps, which for most of you firely like me, well, I walk like three four thousand steps if I'm not trying. If I'm not trying, I am moving. If you double that, you double whatever your protein intake is, just get your body weight and protein and you follow a training program where you're getting after it, but you're not bashing your head through a wall. That's kind of all you need. Where again, yeah, the Instagram, and I try not to show because I do. I do train five six times a week, but a lot of it's just part of my lifestyle at this point. Plus I own a gym, plus et cetera. Et ceter is just more convenient. But you don't need that, and you definitely don't need to wake up before I am and bash your head against the wall and chug raw eggs. And like the extreme, the extreme level of hard work and fitness is more about consistency than it is like one bout of work, you know, And I get that, like the Rocky Montages only work because it's extreme, and it looks cool, but yeah,

3:51 lifting isn't cool, right, it's consistency, it's boring, it's bland. Diet's not cool. It's consistency. It's boring. It's and the cardio isn't as exciting as you want. Is consistency, it's boring, it's bland. Now you can mix up your cardio a little bit to have fun. But in terms of training, like you need the same exercises for a year. For foods, you probably need the same foods for a year. Walking is very boring, but it's so important, So I would probably say that's my number one because then the same with business. Everyone thinks that you're just like ripping papers all day and fucking throwing up a tornado in your business, but or like your office. But it's mostly just like staying on top of the right things for a long period of time, answering emails on time, small progress here, small projects. They're a little bit of creative, a little bit of grass, but it's not you can't. You can only do so much in a day in the gym. You can only do so much in a day in business. So yeah, it's more about the chug. Yeah, I think that that figure out how to be consistent. It's like, is maybe the hardest thing for most people is you know when it comes down to the boring or whatever. I mean, Like, I guess maybe one trick to sticking to it would be that I don't I don't. I don't think like going I work out for my mental health. Thing is is it's not that I don't think it's the working out that does it. It's that your mind moves on from the thing that you're obsessing about. Yeah, yeah, just a shut off time. Yeah, but I think that I mean,

5:25 if you're using it that way, it may be easier to stick to the consistency. I don't know. Yeah, I mean that's where you know, we built this gym, and I think a community is such a big part of it. Like a little bit of adherence is built in by having a training partner, Right, You're just more likely to not want to let them down for some reason, Like the world thinks that way. Um, I forgot what the analogy is, but like people made a bunch of analogies of dogs, Like you're like, have no issue not giving your dog a chocolate or grape because you know it's bad for him, Right, like you won't do that for yourself or whatever that. Yeah, it's the same idea with the training partner, Like damn, I don't want to let Johnny down because I know he's expecting me to work out, rather than like not working out, you're letting yourself down. Yeah. But so instead of like trying to change that within yourself, which is like some deep rooted, weird human shit, just find the community, right, just find the answer that's outside of like, no I need to show up for myself. Like that's fine, and maybe that works for some people, Yeah, but I think you're better off just solving the answer a different way, and that way is finding a community, and so I think that's yeah. In terms of finding consistency, yeah, same thing like diet, Well, just buy ten pounds of meat and then I feel bad if I don't cook it. Yeah, so then I'm gonna cook it and need it right because then I'm wasting money and wasting time. So instead of like the answer is it always right in front of your face, And so for me, all those answers work finding community,

6:59 finding training partner, rather than show up for myself or whatever the internet preaches. Instead of where you know, care about micronutrients and eat healthy food for yourself. I don't care about that, but I care about my bank account. So I feel bad when I buy a bunch of meat and don't eat it right. Like, you have to find the answers that work for you rather than whatever this Internet says. Um, and it is. Yeah, consistency, that's it. But I don't know the other stigmas. And I think that, um, you know that it's a it's a pretty common expression to say getting out of your own way. Yeah, And I think that, um, being overly gung ho about something is getting in your own way for sure, because you're you're you're setting up, you know, standards and expectations. It's going to be a letdown. Yeah, that there's some point you're gonna you're not you're not gonna be able to meet and if you can, um, if you can hear on the microphones that there's some there's there's a major lift going on out in the gym right now. I don't know what not over seven hundred pounds. I'm a freak out. Yeah, they're deadlifting one thirty, acting like a goddamn circus out there. Yeah, that's got another point too is like yeah, hype and yeah yeah yeah.

8:09 So anyway, that's that's. I don't know what other stigmas there are other than maybe you guys can hit us with them.

But if you go to one good Question, only ask questions there. But if you want to tap in um right and there, maybe tell us some stigmas you think that the world thinks about fitness, and we'll revisit this yeah yeah, and maybe just tackle a few and give our points because I really don't know. Like I said, I think we've both just been in this too too long to even understand what the outside perspective is on fitness. Probably yeah, the protein chuggin grow into a yeah, broccoli and chicken and rice, Yeah for every meal, that kind of yeah, I don't really know, But tap in with some of those, or some of your fitness hot takes or any question and we will visit them on an upcoming episode.
