We're joined today with a very
special friend, Liz Rodriguez,

00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,520
who's living in a van down by
the river.

10
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,440
It's more of a stream, but there
is water behind me so.

11
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,680
It's more of a stream.
I appreciate the honesty.

12
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,080
Nice to meet you, Liz.
Thanks.

13
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,760
For coming on, that is.
Awesome.

14
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,960
Yeah, absolutely.
Thanks.

15
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,200
For having us, yes, and we can
hear you this time, which is

16
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,480
awesome.
For those that don't remember,

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,440
we had Liz on a while back, but
there was a glitch in the

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,800
matrix.
Yep, glitches are fixed.

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,040
We're dialing.
We're excited.

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,800
We're going to talk to her about
all kinds of things.

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,840
So where are you?
Let's start with where you're

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,960
at, Liz.
I'm in Arizona.

23
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:29,920
Mike's in in Pontiac, IL.
Where are you?

24
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,960
Nice, I am in Charleston, SC.
South Carolina.

25
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,960
You know right where that's at.
Yeah.

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,320
Better actually not far from you
in Myrtle Beach at the moment

27
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,280
with my brother.
Nice.

28
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:43,560
Yeah.
Came here for the summer, hadn't

29
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,120
been here before.
It's good stuff.

30
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,120
It's nice down there.
So the fact that you live in a

31
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:49,520
van.
That.

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Means you can travel at will.
Yeah, yeah, we actually.

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,760
So we're in a Airstream and we
just got it last fall.

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,880
And so we travel about like half
the year and then the other half

35
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,600
we're we kind of help out family
and stuff.

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,520
We're from the Midwest, so yay
for Illinois.

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,400
Yeah, yes.
Well, yeah, I'm, I'm originally

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,520
from a small town called
Pleasant Plains, which is

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,880
population 804, about 20 minutes
outside of Springfield, where

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,680
where once you pull in the
Pleasant Plains, the cell

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,920
service dies and you're just,
you know, in the Twilight Zone,

42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,600
you know?
Literal BFE.

43
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Right.
For like a mile and a half,

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,240
because that's all Pleasant
Plains is, you know, mile and a

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,720
half long.
Yeah, nice.

46
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,200
I'm for suburbs of Chicago, but
I knew a lot of people from that

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,120
area with just as I went to
Illinois State.

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,600
So lots of people from the from
the central part, yeah.

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,080
Oh, you know right where I'm at
then.

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,200
Yep.
I'm 35 miles north of where she

51
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,200
went to college, Chris.
Oh, oh, OK, right on.

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,960
So let's let's let's find out a
little bit more about Liz.

53
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,600
What, what got you to where
you're living in a, in an

54
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,000
Airstream, you know, just
travelling the world as as and

55
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,520
that's your life.
Like you just travelled the

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,240
world.
Or not the world, but the United

57
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,040
States drive around and coach
and stuff.

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,920
Yes, it's kind of evolved over
the last couple years.

59
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:15,120
I would say I'm like probably a
lot of people out there that

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,440
started out in the fitness
industry.

61
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,560
I celebrated 20 years this past
May worked in gyms for about 17

62
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,440
of those years everywhere from
mostly New York and Chicago, or

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,960
I should say Westchester and New
York City, and just was kind of

64
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,040
like ready to ready to pivot,
especially after COVID, the gym

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,320
scene, definitely, it changed a
lot, right?

66
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,560
And so I was just ready to do
something a little bit different

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,120
and, and be able to get in front
of people in a different way.

68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,280
I went and got my board
certification for health and

69
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,160
Wellness coaching and really
started to kind of hone in on my

70
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,400
niche of, you know, women in
their 40s trying to figure shit

71
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,280
out.
So I left the gyms and now

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,560
essentially when we travel, I
actually work and teach Pilates

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,160
when I'm doing it.
So I get to do something in

74
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,640
person and then as long as I've
got I'm.

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Going to stop you there.
Explain to the world what

76
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Pilates is.
Because I've never done it.

77
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,480
And I I see Pilates locations
all over the valley here.

78
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Yeah, but I don't know what it
is.

79
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,920
So explain to the world what
Pilates is.

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,880
Totally.
So it's a form of we'll see.

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,920
It's a form of fitness that
really focuses on, you know,

82
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,800
strengthening your core, but it
really also works on a lot of

83
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,000
core, works on a lot of balance.
I'm unaware of what Pilates is

84
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,440
as well.
I I am too.

85
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,640
And she froze.
That's why I didn't say

86
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,880
anything.
I'm right there with you.

87
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,680
I have no idea.
I've heard of it.

88
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,080
I am too.
I'm thinking it's an aerobic

89
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,000
thing.
It is.

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240
It's but I'm not sure.
Fitness exercise program kind of

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,880
like your muscle fitness
programs like an orange theory.

92
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,640
Pilates would be like an orange
theory program if I'm educatedly

93
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,040
guessing right.
Well, you got pretty much that

94
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,320
an educated guesser, so.
I have a PhD in educated

95
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,600
guessing, yes.
Oh, I hear her.

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,800
There she is.
She's back, man.

97
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,440
You.
You disappeared.

98
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,280
You froze on us.
It's all good.

99
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:04,920
She didn't.
She didn't.

100
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,120
She just didn't want to tell the
world what Pilates is because

101
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,560
she doesn't know people really
know.

102
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,240
It's a name.
Fuck that, I didn't tell you

103
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,680
shit man.
No, so it think of it like a

104
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,880
form of working out where it's
really focused on on your core,

105
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,080
which I think of as kind of like
the claim to fame is it works

106
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,680
your core, but it really helps
you with your mobility, with

107
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240
your sense of balance.
I like to say that Pilates isn't

108
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,000
going to help you with all your
other workouts, right?

109
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Like if you're lifting, right,
if you don't have good mobility

110
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,200
in your hips and shoulders, how
you going to lift those weights,

111
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,800
right?
If you want to go out and run,

112
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,560
you want to make sure that
you're staying mobile core

113
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,840
strong.
So, yeah, that's like a very,

114
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,320
we'll say a very brief answer
about Pilates.

115
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,400
OK.
So question for you is, is, is

116
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,520
the Pilates studios, are they
geared towards women?

117
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,960
Because as soon as you said
core, that piqued my interest

118
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,200
because I'm that guy that could
hold a nine minute 34 second

119
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,560
core.
So I'm, I'm all about the core

120
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,240
because that is the center of
our universe as a human, right?

121
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,200
Everything, everything
correlates from your core.

122
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,040
I mean your back strength, your
leg strength, your upper body,

123
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,760
it's everything is tied to your
core.

124
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,520
So the stronger your core is,
the better you are as far as

125
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,040
stature and strength and all the
mobility, things like that,

126
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,520
right?
Mm hmm, exactly.

127
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,120
And it's funny because it was
developed by a male like Joseph

128
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,560
Pilates.
And yet for whatever reason, I

129
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,520
think because of the formatting
of it, probably how it's

130
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,960
marketed, it's very much like
when I go into most studios,

131
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,880
it's 90% female.
I think it's starting to really

132
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,720
pick up more with athletes and
things like you're seeing more,

133
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,840
you know, like the NFL players
and the NBA players and things

134
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:43,880
doing Pilates.
And it's, I mean, hey, when you

135
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,760
got guys that are that long,
they've actually fit on the

136
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,120
reformers better because a lot
of times when they're going into

137
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,000
gyms, equipment is not equipment
essentially is set up right for

138
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,720
basically people will say about
5352 up to around 6263.

139
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,480
Once you start going above that,
they don't fit on the equipment

140
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,720
anyway.
So I think they find a lot of

141
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,680
nice stuff with bodies because
it helps them, because their

142
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,800
levers are so long.
We're going to say, you know.

143
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,280
That makes sense.
Levers mean in their hands and

144
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,280
legs.
I'm kind of a nerd with that

145
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,240
stuff, I said.
I'm kind of a nerd with that

146
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,720
stuff.
I nerd out when it comes to

147
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,720
movement.
Right.

148
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,720
So when when COVID hit, Orange
Theory Fitness is where I spent

149
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,560
about a decade working out.
So we just wore masks, right.

150
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,400
They let us in.
Yeah, they wore masks.

151
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,360
And what I found in that year or
so where they forced us to wear

152
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,800
a mask that I actually was
better cardio shape because it

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,560
forced my lungs so, you know,
breathe through the mask.

154
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400
And I had this really cool mask
that that Nikki found me my

155
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,080
wife.
And they, they look like thongs,

156
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,200
but they were a little thicker
to wear.

157
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,600
Like, you know, it was weird
because I put them on them.

158
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,520
It automatically thought I was
wearing underwear.

159
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,600
Let's see if I have one sitting.
Here if it helps.

160
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,200
Again, I just yeah.
But to me it just it just yeah,

161
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,240
I got one.
But to me legitimately it it I

162
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,200
thought I felt I was in better
shape during the COVID years

163
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,960
because the mask was required.
So check it out.

164
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Wow.
So it goes like this, Yeah.

165
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,240
Which one goes?
It goes around the ear.

166
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,280
And then you don't get those.
Got to have like.

167
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,320
I had like scabs back there from
like and then.

168
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,679
And then the way I would roll at
Orangetheory, I'd have one for

169
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,640
each station because it was
running, rowing in the weight

170
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,960
room.
So as we leave the treadmill,

171
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,919
I'd go through the lobby in the
locker room, grab my next mask

172
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,520
because I sweat my ass off.
So these would get soaked and

173
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,880
they're double layer, but
they're not super thick, you

174
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,960
know?
Yeah.

175
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,240
But I would just, I would wear,
I'd change one change when then

176
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,560
when I got done every day
working out.

177
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:58,600
I have three wet masks.
Orange Theory.

178
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,840
We'll do that to you.
I I did a stint there.

179
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,480
I opened up a lot on Orange
Theory.

180
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,280
This stuff is tough.
Yeah.

181
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,320
But it's fun, though.
It's good.

182
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,800
It's like organized chaos with
36 people.

183
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,160
Yeah, yeah.
And it got to the point where we

184
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,720
called it, where I out, I out
shaped orange theory because I

185
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,120
couldn't get any more orange.
I, I, I didn't matter how hard I

186
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,480
worked, I couldn't get splat
points.

187
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,800
I started doing four 4% inclines
in the treadmill.

188
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,640
Nothing.
I ended up doing back-to-back

189
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,880
workouts 3 * a week.
So Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I

190
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,080
go back-to-back studios.
I wouldn't, I, I couldn't get, I

191
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,600
could not get the orange, the
orange zone at all.

192
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,480
If I did, it was one or two
points and the, the trainers.

193
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,800
But Oh my God, you got a point.
Yay, that's a win for the day.

194
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,480
The one drawback is is that they
did you ever actually get like

195
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,560
your VO2 Max done or did they
just use your generic numbers by

196
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:56,080
your age?
I did the, the, the, the, the

197
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,800
body scan thing, but they never,
they never measured the VO2 at

198
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,080
all.
And we kind of, we would, we

199
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,560
would mess with it a little bit
a few times to try to get it

200
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:05,920
calibrated.
My Garmin 'cause I wear my

201
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,480
Garmin during the same workout,
my Garmin would register a

202
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,560
little bit more than the, the,
the Orange Theory app would, but

203
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:18,160
still not to the extent that I
wasn't, I wasn't, I just wasn't

204
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,120
getting there anymore because I
just like I said, we just could.

205
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,760
The two students I went to, it
was a combination probably 4

206
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,240
trainers.
We all just kind of decided one

207
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,920
day I just out, I out shaped
orange Theory because I'd gone

208
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,680
there for so long.
And then, and then when I

209
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:34,560
started doing the back to backs,
at that time, everybody thought

210
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:36,560
I was nuts.
And then as I continue doing

211
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,560
that, all of a sudden more and
more people started doing, you

212
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:40,920
know, the back to backs and you
know this and that.

213
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,920
But you know, that wasn't just
the weight part because they had

214
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,480
in towards the end of when I was
there, they had the weight, the

215
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,440
weight training classes.
So you could, you could do upper

216
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,280
body, lower body, full body
weight workouts after a, a

217
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,440
regular orange story workout or
vice versa.

218
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:55,760
So I would do those a couple
times too.

219
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,400
But you know, it's good for what
it was for sure.

220
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,800
Absolutely, I always bring up
the VO2 Max stuff to get it

221
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,280
tested where your actual heart
rate zones are just because are

222
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480
you like did you grow up?
Like are you an endurance

223
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,520
athlete?
Like from a young?

224
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,840
Age.
I grew up with asthma.

225
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,000
We moved from Illinois because I
was going to die in three

226
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,960
months.
So we moved here in 73.

227
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,480
I couldn't really run or do
anything physical to probably

228
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,280
hit about 12 years old by the
time I got to high school.

229
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,240
I started wrestling and then I
ended up doing the 800 meter,

230
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,800
but I was training with the
sprinters, which was weird, but

231
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,280
that's the only way I could
breathe and get my breathing

232
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,720
down.
And then in 2015, massive jump

233
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,920
there.
I started running with my wife

234
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,760
doing training for half
marathon.

235
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,800
So that was a different type of
cadence because the breathing, I

236
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,800
could control it more, longer,
slower movements.

237
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,720
And then as I just got more and
more shape, I was able to get my

238
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,400
mile under 6 minutes and I could
do a half marathon an hour and

239
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,560
46 minutes with my best.
So not really an endurance

240
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:04,600
athlete on a whole.
But once I stopped drinking, my

241
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,600
my addiction kind of turned into
to working out and that kind of

242
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,080
took control.
And, you know, for, you know, I

243
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,800
ran 6 minute less than 600 mile
when I was 53.

244
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,800
And I, you know, last trade held
a nine, nine minute, 34 second

245
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,440
plank.
So, you know, yeah.

246
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,480
Well, definitely I would
encourage you to get AV2 Max

247
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,840
just to find out your real
zones.

248
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,200
Like I was the other on the
other end when I would go to

249
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,680
Orangetheory.
So I'm a college runner, right?

250
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:35,160
So I ran 500 miles in college.
Don't do that, by the way.

251
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,360
So because of that, my So what
I'm 42 based on the basic, my

252
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,560
Max heart rate is supposed to be
around 180, right?

253
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:45,840
Like 220 minutes your age.
It's still well over 200.

254
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,560
And that's just because like
that's my Max.

255
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,840
Some people actually have lower
maxes, but all just depends.

256
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,160
So it's not a perfect sign.
So I was always in the red zone

257
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,440
and I'm like dude guys, I'm
fine.

258
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,480
Hello.
Hi.

259
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,800
So I would say like if you
really want to do good heart

260
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,920
rate training, you got to like
get your stuff checked.

261
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,320
Otherwise you're just going off
of a generic thing.

262
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,400
So anyways.
Yeah, I would have, I would have

263
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,960
some Reds too.
That didn't make any sense

264
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,080
because I was, it was.
And then so that I, I switched

265
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,880
out the the OTF band because it
had to be broken or something.

266
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,040
Because I'm sitting and talking
like this and I'm like in the

267
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,640
red zone.
Like, yeah, I'm not really like,

268
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,840
you kidding me?
It takes a lot to get me in the

269
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,000
red zone.
So, you know, and then here's

270
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,800
Mike sitting there like, what
are you guys talking about?

271
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,040
I.
Don't.

272
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,920
Yeah, I don't even know what.
That is, it's like peanuts.

273
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,400
No, it's all good.
He's into this, you know, that

274
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,240
became his life after his
addiction.

275
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,600
So that's the one thing him and
I have in common.

276
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,720
So yeah, I I admire his passion
for something that's going to

277
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,400
save his life instead of destroy
it.

278
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,600
There you go.
So you in the fitness industry,

279
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,240
married kids, you know.
Married, no kids.

280
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,400
No kids.
OK.

281
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,240
How long you been married?
Eight years.

282
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,400
Oh slacker, I've been 303032
together, 31 married.

283
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,440
It's gotta get her for 9.
Wait on.

284
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,480
Yeah, we dated for a year.
We like knew after six months,

285
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,920
but we were, we were like mid
30s by then.

286
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,840
Like we met a little later in
life and I was happy for that

287
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,080
'cause I didn't have my stuff
together yet.

288
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,280
I was not ready.
That's kind of what I, I preach

289
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,480
to my son is like, just don't
worry about relationships and

290
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,680
stuff till you're at least 30.
Like just get all the things you

291
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,240
want to do in your life out of
the way.

292
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,080
That's solid advice.
You know, because then you don't

293
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,520
have anything tying you down to
something.

294
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,280
You.
Know that's just, you know, my

295
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,880
way of thinking, Yeah.
So what's your husband do?

296
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,480
He is a trainer.
OK.

297
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,520
Just OK, so great.
So you're both trainers?

298
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,000
Yeah, so he he focuses just on
like, virtual training and

299
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,600
stuff.
He also like, left the gyms and

300
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,080
everything when I did.
So yeah, that's fun.

301
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,080
It like, means that we're big
nerds with everything.

302
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,600
You know, we work out together,
which I never was able to do

303
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,720
with anybody else.
You know, we cook healthy food.

304
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,400
We're like living the clean
life.

305
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,720
You sound like my wife and I, we
the same thing.

306
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,520
We, my, we, we did a, we went to
California 1/4 of July weekend

307
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,600
and did the Redondo Beach 4th of
July 5K.

308
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,960
And our son took our picture as
we were, we were just, we wasn't

309
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,880
the race day yet.
We were just running down the

310
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,200
side of the beach.
And he posted it and tagged us

311
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,680
as running buddies for life.
I'm like, oh, right on.

312
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,560
So that's kind of been our yeah,
we've probably done 100 half

313
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,200
marathons all the way down to 15
K, 10K5K.

314
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,760
You know what?
Not since 2015, so.

315
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,560
Nice.
Yeah.

316
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,320
Then a couple of races together,
he's one of those that like he

317
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,080
runs like 3 times and then he's
faster than me 'cause he's like

318
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,600
built like a runner and I am I
was in the wrong, I was in the

319
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,440
wrong sport.
I should have, if CrossFit was

320
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,760
the round back then, I would
have been like the, I would have

321
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,760
been Rich Froning like back in
2005.

322
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,920
Instead I was like, let's do
long distance running 'cause

323
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,600
that's a terrible idea.
I'm much more built for lifting

324
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,440
and stuff, but I love the
running and my husband loves to

325
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,120
lift, but he's so good at
running.

326
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,400
I'm like, well, you might as
well run.

327
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,520
So it's fun.
We've done a couple of races

328
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,320
together and then he beats me
and then I get upset.

329
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,040
So you.
Know yeah, I beat Nikki, but

330
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,360
it's it's it it it got to the
point in in our running time

331
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,600
together that that she would
tell me just go, you know, just

332
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:23,520
go because she didn't want me.
She knew I was trying to get to

333
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,640
a certain time.
So, you know now as we as we're

334
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,880
getting back and running, I
haven't been running for a while

335
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,800
because I had a stretch fraction
of my foot and then I have

336
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,440
degenerating vertebrae in my
neck.

337
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,000
So it's one of those fun little
things.

338
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,200
So literally Monday was the
first time I ran shit, I don't

339
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,080
know, maybe six months.
And we just basically did, we

340
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,200
ran 1/2 mile in a mile and a
half walk.

341
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,000
So in that walk we did a quarter
mile run and then walked a

342
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,280
little bit quarter mile run just
to see how I'd feel.

343
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,160
And so now it's nothing that I
want.

344
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,200
I, you know, it took me years to
get to where it's an hour and 46

345
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,800
minutes.
So I'm like, I'm not spending

346
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,599
years again to get there.
Yeah, you got a level set, you

347
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:08,720
know, like, hey, you're entering
a new season, as I like to say,

348
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,280
right?
Yeah.

349
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,280
Yeah, you know, so there's that.
So if people want to find your

350
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,760
coaching and stuff, how did they
find you?

351
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,720
Yeah, so I'm at
lizrodriguezcoaching.com and

352
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,200
then I'm on Facebook.
I don't do I'm kind of one of

353
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,000
those not do as much social
media.

354
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,400
So now that I travel a lot, you
know, I find clients that way.

355
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,360
Like as I'm working at the
different studios and things

356
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:33,000
like that have made, I've been
able to make connections kind of

357
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,800
all over the country, which is
nice.

358
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600
And I've worked with a lot of
studios to help get them open

359
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,360
and stuff.
And then people are like, oh,

360
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:42,040
you know, you also do nutrition,
you do health coaching.

361
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,080
So it's kind of nice where I can
kind of slide in to say like,

362
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,040
hey, keep doing the Pilates and
stuff.

363
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,360
But if you need help with the
other things, because I think

364
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:54,880
especially for obviously I focus
mostly on women because I am

365
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,720
one.
And we had a lot of weird, crazy

366
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,360
shit that happens to us when we
hit perimenopause, which could

367
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:04,240
be which could be 15 years long
in our prime years of earning.

368
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,920
So we kind of got to figure some
stuff out.

369
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,800
So I really like to, I like to
focus on them because I think

370
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,720
there's a lot of, you know,
you're big in fitness and stuff

371
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,760
and a lot of the stuff in
fitness is it's not even geared

372
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,760
towards men.
It's everything is based around

373
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,520
men.
And we're not, as you know,

374
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,240
Doctor Sims would say we're not
small men, we're women.

375
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,640
And so I think having them
figure out what it is that

376
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,440
they're trying to do and achieve
in a way that's healthy.

377
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,520
I think it's just really, really
rewarding and it's cool.

378
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,400
You know, you want, I mean, I
grew up doing sports and stuff

379
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,760
and I want a lot of women didn't
get to do that.

380
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,240
And now it's like, hey, now is
your time to figure out what

381
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,640
kind of athlete that you want to
be.

382
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,720
And it's not a good point.
That's the reason a lot of women

383
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,080
won't go to a gym, right?
Because they don't want men

384
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,320
Googling them while they're
trying to do something good for

385
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,720
their body.
I hear that a lot from.

386
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,400
Women, they don't know what
they're doing, you know?

387
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,560
And it's like another.
Yeah.

388
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,920
You know.
They're intimidated and they

389
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,160
don't know, so that's a bad
combination.

390
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,960
So now I'm not going to go.
So it's nice that.

391
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,680
Somebody like you is out there.
Women feel comfortable talking

392
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,360
to women for sure.
True.

393
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,120
Yeah, absolutely.
You know.

394
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:12,120
So so with your training so you
don't do virtual stuff.

395
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,320
I do, yeah.
So all my coaching and

396
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,840
everything is virtual just
because I'm not based anywhere.

397
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:18,480
Gotcha.
Yeah.

398
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,920
OK.
But then you also help set up as

399
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,640
you travel around, you're
helping studios set up and stuff

400
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,960
like that, which is really cool
because you're getting to see

401
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,640
all different kinds of dynamics
and all you do help with the new

402
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,920
stuff that's popping up.
Or is it just kind of the stuff

403
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,880
that like, you know, explain
that?

404
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,480
I mean, is it always just
plotting studios?

405
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,600
It's Orangetheory Studios.
What kind of studios are you?

406
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,400
Are you helping get started and
launch?

407
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,880
Yeah.
So it's primarily Pilates in the

408
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,800
past actually, like when I first
opened my business and stuff,

409
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,440
actually two of my trainers
opened up a studio in Chicago

410
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,080
and they wanted to like put in
some Pilates in there, right?

411
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,960
Like little boutique studio.
We have like 7000 of those in

412
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,080
Chicago.
And so I was able to like come

413
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,200
in, help them with the
equipment, get some girls in

414
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,000
there like that top Pilates
helping to bring in clients.

415
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,640
Now really actually, I'm mostly
focused with Club Pilates, which

416
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,600
is a franchise just kind of
everywhere.

417
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,560
And they have a great system
where they they're bringing in

418
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,520
new apprentices, they open up
studios.

419
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,080
And it's really a matter of I
help in and just kind of help

420
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,920
with the overflow of we're at
this weird point with Pilates

421
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,360
that you either are people that
have been teaching for 20 years

422
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:24,280
or teaching for minutes, right?
It's kind of weird.

423
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,320
Yeah.
I think you go through ebbs and

424
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,520
flows, right?
And so I'm basically basically

425
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,800
there to help get the new
instructors going and then

426
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,840
really just kind of get, get the
members excited and get them

427
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,800
familiarized so that they keep
coming back.

428
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,000
And it's so I've done in like an
I've done an Orangetheory launch

429
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
before, very similar, right?
Like you want to get everybody

430
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,080
in, you want to get them
excited.

431
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,720
You want to make sure that
they're have a plan because you

432
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,480
want them to keep coming back
and you don't want them just

433
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,080
paying for a membership.
And I think as we get to

434
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,960
boutique studios and you're
paying more per class, it's

435
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,440
easier to retain people because
they're spending more money

436
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,320
versus, hey, I got to plan a
fitness membership.

437
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,200
It's 15 bucks.
True enough to go, you know.

438
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,520
What does this say?
Goodbye to burpees in jump

439
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,440
squats.
Bullshit on your on your page

440
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,400
man.
I don't like jump squats.

441
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,840
It doesn't take an educated
person to make someone sweat.

442
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,680
Burpees are like a full body
workout.

443
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,640
I love burpees.
They're good, they they have

444
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,440
their place and everything.
But yeah, I know I am.

445
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:28,320
I am dream killer.
And you have to keep in mind

446
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,200
that a lot of my career I
managed trainers and when you're

447
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,760
dealing with general pop and you
got trainers that are like, hey,

448
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,320
let's start the workout with
burpees and oh, you haven't

449
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,720
worked out in five years and
have herniated disc and yeah,

450
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,920
yeah, diabetes.
Yeah, OK.

451
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,120
That's.
That's, and that's the ignorance

452
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,120
of the person going it.
Like when you go to orange, when

453
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:49,600
I went to Orange Syria the first
time, there really wasn't a

454
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,240
breakdown of anything about me.
It's just like you fill out the

455
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,280
paperwork and then you go.
So me being who I am, it's like

456
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,240
the first couple workouts, I, I
pushed myself to the point where

457
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,520
I didn't throw up, but I was on
the verge of throwing up.

458
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,880
And then that's when the
trainers kind of reel you back

459
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,520
in, like, what's wrong, man?
I'm like, well, you know, I'm

460
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,520
explaining.
It's like, well, you need to

461
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,440
slow down.
OK, well, you're the trainer.

462
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,960
Tell me that up front.
You know, you just so that's the

463
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,640
thing.
So as people would follow me and

464
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,520
and ask me about it and stuff
over the years, I would always

465
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,200
tell them, like, man, go slow.
Then you step your way into

466
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,760
this.
Because even if I can recall

467
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,840
times where we would go on
vacation and be gone for 10 days

468
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,320
and come back and, and really
orange theory shape was a

469
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,240
different kind of in shape
because when you're gone for a

470
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,600
couple weeks and come back, it's
like you're in fantastic.

471
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,080
I was anyway, fantastic shape
because I'm that guy that went

472
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,720
there like this, like leave me
alone.

473
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,320
I'm here to get my ass kicked by
myself.

474
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,360
And I would, and I'd had shirts
that, you know, would say

475
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:48,600
nothing, right?
And then when I'm all sweat it,

476
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,320
it says it's time to go home now
because I just, I just would, I

477
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,720
would just drill in my head,
this is my hour of, of kicking

478
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,080
my own ass.
And it drilled me nuts.

479
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,040
And people sitting there on
their phones taking selfies on

480
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,760
the treadmill or, you know,
really look at me.

481
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,960
And then and I did it for so
long.

482
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,200
There's people that I know from
start to finish, they never

483
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,240
changed.
And that's a big thing too, you

484
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,920
know, like it's like you gotta
and I, you know, I mean, I think

485
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,480
at the end of the day,
maintenance is great.

486
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,880
We're at a weird point with
fitness and we have more

487
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,800
information than ever.
And you got more people that are

488
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,360
unhealthy.
And I think it's, this is more

489
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:29,200
in getting people.
And I think on the, it's just

490
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,000
interesting, isn't it?
Like you want people to go in

491
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,080
and get a good workout, but I
think you kind of got a level

492
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,600
set with them.
You're on the extreme.

493
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,320
Like you would be one that it's
like, dude, hey, let's kind of

494
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,760
chill out.
Let's figure it out for the

495
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,640
people that come in that are
like, I'm just going to walk.

496
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,280
Well, you've been walking for.
Like.

497
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,960
Last 7 workouts maybe we try to
jog a little bit, you know?

498
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,600
Right.
But see, I'm also that guy that

499
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,840
as I got to know the people
around me in both studios that I

500
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,760
went to, I became friends and
then I would I would push them

501
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,560
and challenge them, but I
wouldn't push them and challenge

502
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,520
them to my level.
Like I have had really good

503
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,560
friends, Lindsay and Courtney at
the, at the Gilbert studio

504
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:07,720
where, you know, three years
into working out with them, you

505
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,120
know, Lindsay would pick up 10
LB weights to do the, the

506
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,040
dumbbell arm stuff.
And I walk over to, I'm like,

507
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,120
you're stronger than that,
Lindsay.

508
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,040
Like, come on, just pick up a
15.

509
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,160
And then all of a sudden she's
realizing, holy shit, I am

510
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,200
stronger than this.
And then I got them to the point

511
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,320
to where at the end of when I,
when I went, it's, it's, it's,

512
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,200
we would hold planks and I'd be
like, you can hold a plank

513
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,800
longer than 60 seconds.
Suck it up.

514
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,240
And oh, I can't.
Yes, you can.

515
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,280
You're stronger than you think.
And I think that's the biggest

516
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,960
misconception.
When people do work out

517
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,320
consistently on a consistent
basis, and you can correct me if

518
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,240
I'm wrong, because you're a
trainer.

519
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,280
They don't elevate their
weights.

520
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,000
They don't elevate or elongate
the time of things they're

521
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,760
doing.
As far as the repetitions, Like,

522
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,400
you know, instead of doing just
three sets of eight, do three

523
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,240
sets of 10.
Instead of holding a plank for

524
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,040
just a minute every time, do a
minute, then do a minute 10,

525
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,960
then do a minute 30, then do a
minute 40.

526
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,360
Keep pushing yourself to get
better and better and better.

527
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:03,840
So then you push through those
barriers that your body thinks

528
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,440
you're stuck in because of
muscle memory and stuff.

529
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,520
So in doing that stuff, I, I, I
wasn't a jerk about it, but I

530
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,360
come up, Hey, Liz, I, you know,
I walk up to you.

531
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:14,680
Hey, you know, you're stronger
than that.

532
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,080
Come on, you can lift 15 lbs.
It's not that much difference.

533
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,760
And then after, and then, and
then, you know, then they start

534
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,360
seeing difference and they be
like, Oh my God, Chris, thank

535
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:23,480
you so much, you know, and blah,
blah.

536
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,600
So it was kind of a cool report
that was built where I lived,

537
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,200
what I preached because I'd go
in there and kick my ass even

538
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,720
when I was in my boot for my
stress fracture 8 months, I

539
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,800
still went 8 * a week.
I went back-to-back the three

540
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,680
same days, but all I did was
upper body the whole time

541
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,440
because I couldn't run.
I couldn't run, I couldn't get

542
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,880
on the bike.
So I would do their core workout

543
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,920
that they had or whatever floor
workout they had.

544
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,120
And then the next 23 minutes
would all be core stuff that I

545
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:53,160
found online, you know, but
that's the thing.

546
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,160
So it's, it's nobody could ever
say I didn't put forth the

547
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,840
effort.
So when I would, you know, nudge

548
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,480
somebody, they would respect
that, 'cause I wasn't being a

549
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,160
jerk, you know?
And then when the trainers were

550
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,120
doing something else and they
would, Marla would come to, Oh,

551
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:08,280
thank you for telling her how to
do that.

552
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,600
I'm like no problem.
Thank you for helping me with.

553
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,320
You know, you know, So I'm on
your website, by the way, the

554
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,480
health coach for women.
Achieve your health goals with a

555
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,400
holistic Wellness approach
beyond fad diets and quick

556
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,000
fixes.
I love that because diets are

557
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,480
just that.
Mike and I, if you've watched

558
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,000
their show, I'm all about it's
not a diet, it's a lifestyle.

559
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,440
Diets don't work, fad diets
don't work.

560
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,080
Quick fixes don't work.
Ozim, Ozimpic, is that what you

561
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,320
call it?
Quick fix, right?

562
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:40,520
And look at all the stuff that's
coming from the fallout of that,

563
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,840
right?
Yeah, yeah.

564
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,600
And I think it's more, I think
specifically with the women that

565
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,320
I work with, there's a lot of,
there's a lot of stuff in their

566
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,320
brain of like, why do you think
that you need to do it that way?

567
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,600
Like where is it coming from?
Why do you think that you should

568
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,120
skip meals?
Why do you think that you

569
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,040
shouldn't?
Eat Internet, Internet, right,

570
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,960
Internet.
It's just getting dated.

571
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,720
You know, if you scroll on
Instagram and Facebook and

572
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,160
stuff, you see all these
different things.

573
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,440
My wife sends them to me and,
and you know, I'll see stuff.

574
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,880
And we've had, we've had a
health and Wellness coach on it.

575
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,840
We've had a fitness coach on
here several times.

576
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:14,760
Yeah.
It's just everybody's getting

577
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,200
inundated with stuff that you
think is real.

578
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,800
And it's not like last week,
Abraham Lincoln posted something

579
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,760
on on the Internet about Ozzy
Osbourne passing.

580
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,560
And it was, you know, people
thought that was real.

581
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,520
Abraham Lincoln's been dead for
like thousands of years.

582
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,560
Oh, I thought that was the world
is flat or something.

583
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,680
I'm like, what?
And there are, yeah, the flat

584
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,280
earthers, man, they're spending
a lot of money on all those

585
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,320
projects and experiments.
I feel bad for them.

586
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,360
What a real what about what?
That's fascinating.

587
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,760
What about the thing?
I've watched the documentary.

588
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,560
I'm like, my God, this is
fascinating.

589
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,080
I mean.
I know.

590
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,920
What about?
Before, but the documentary just

591
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,520
solidified it.
What about the alien spacecraft

592
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,120
that's going to crash into Earth
in November and and attack us?

593
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,680
I haven't looked much into that,
but it is coming from

594
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,320
scientists, which is sort of
strange.

595
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,480
So I'm like.
But.

596
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,200
So here's the deal.
They can't How to explain why

597
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,000
it's coming straight at us.
Nothing would come straight at

598
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,600
us.
Everything in this universe is

599
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,920
orbiting something.
This thing is coming straight at

600
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,080
us.
And she's right.

601
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,800
It's that's coming from
scientists.

602
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,800
It's not coming from like, yeah,
but snoop.com or something, you

603
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,680
know?
Yeah, but how?

604
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,200
How do they know it's an alien
spacecraft?

605
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,840
They don't.
They're speculating.

606
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,840
So if it would be an asteroid,
it would have an elliptical

607
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,040
orbit of some sort.
This thing doesn't have an

608
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,200
elliptical orbit.
It's literally like the space

609
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,440
shuttle flying straight out of
the atmosphere.

610
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,760
This is flying straight at us.
They can't explain why it's

611
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,600
coming straight at us.
Everything we're thinking in

612
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,480
circles.
OK, now something's not going

613
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,920
around in a circle.
It's flying through the diameter

614
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,720
of the circle.
That's not possible with our

615
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,680
laws of physics.
Where's where's this supposed to

616
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,160
land?
I don't know, I.

617
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,000
Don't think we figured out.
The only reason they're

618
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,400
speculating it could be a
spacecraft is because it it

619
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,080
would have to be propelled by
something to be going forward.

620
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,160
Gotcha.
See, I can explain it enough.

621
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,720
Enough different ways and he'll
finally just hit the light bulb.

622
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,920
Well, no, I got it.
I just went, you know.

623
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,360
No, I just.
I just saw it right there.

624
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,360
Yeah, right on.
Yeah, you saw pedal and.

625
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,320
The car goes forward.
This thing has a gas pedal of

626
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,520
something because it's coming
straight at us.

627
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,840
That's not possible.
I got you and I see it came.

628
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,600
It came up again this morning
too, because I was showing

629
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,400
little man.
Little man's my grandson Liz and

630
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,600
he wants, he's 5 1/2.
He wants to be a, a, an

631
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,040
astronaut when he grows up.
So I show him stuff from NASA's

632
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,680
page all the time.
And I was showing this morning

633
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,200
the asteroids that were, were
landing on the moon next and,

634
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,640
you know, impacting the moon.
He thought that was fascinating.

635
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,720
It is it's awesome.
And then I found then I found

636
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,800
the, the alien spacecraft.
He's what he's like.

637
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,920
What's that pop up?
I'm like, I, I have no idea,

638
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,640
man.
It's I wasn't going to get into

639
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,800
the I wasn't going to get tried
to explain to him that it's

640
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,280
supposed to be this alien ship
coming towards the Earth.

641
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,320
And then the next, the next NASA
picture is legit.

642
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,600
Where's these two aliens on
Earth?

643
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,560
He's like, those look like
aliens on Earth pop up.

644
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:13,680
I'm like, Oh my God, There you
go.

645
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,680
Being a grandfather these days,
man, I, I, we used just to talk

646
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,880
about like baseball and stuff.
You have a lot more topics you

647
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,680
have to cover with.
Oh.

648
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,640
Yeah, the Internet has ruined
that forever.

649
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,080
The Sky's the limit, people.
Yeah.

650
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,560
They get so much smarter,
faster.

651
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,960
These kids are fascinating.
It's just they are.

652
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,240
They're sponge.
They are.

653
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,600
And once they learn to read and
they're on that tablet all the

654
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,960
time, they're just like, what's
that?

655
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:36,680
What's that?
What's that?

656
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,400
What's that?
What's that?

657
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:37,560
Why?
Why?

658
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:37,800
Why?
Why?

659
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,800
Yeah.
And see, he's just, he's just,

660
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,320
he's two weeks in the
kindergarten.

661
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,800
Just those two weeks in the
kindergarten.

662
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,560
His vocabulary has just like
it's not cold.

663
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,280
It's it's like he said stuff to
me.

664
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,640
I can't even remember it, but he
said stuff to me earlier this

665
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,840
week in the mornings.
And I kind of looked at him

666
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,800
like, really?
Pretty soon he's going to be so

667
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,560
comfortable.
With you in the morning.

668
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:02,920
Yeah, yeah, it's.
That's what like every

669
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,080
generation feels like as you
start to get older and you look

670
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,480
back and you're like, oh, yeah,
I don't think I could have lived

671
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,760
during that time.
I'm glad I'm where I'm at now,

672
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,520
you know?
Cuz yeah, being a kid today

673
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,640
would be weird.
I've thought about that a lot.

674
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,240
You know, imagine that you're
his grandson's age right now,

675
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,960
knowing what we know.
I mean, him and I are in our

676
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,520
early to mid 50s.
So, you know, we grew up before

677
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,200
the Internet, obviously, with a
telephone on the wall.

678
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,880
And you'd like Chris always said
you had to go find your friend

679
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,760
and then you played till it got
dark and you better be home

680
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,440
before it got dark.
And those were our rules, right?

681
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,240
That was our.
World that was rules for how

682
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,600
many years?
Like think about it, we have

683
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,160
more in common.
I'm 42.

684
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,080
I have more in common with an 80
year old than I do with a 25

685
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,280
year.
Old you have more in common with

686
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,520
him and I than you would a 20
year old for sure.

687
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,760
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.

688
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,400
Because you grew up in a portion
of that transition period to

689
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,920
where the Internet was kind of
there, but it didn't really mean

690
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,160
much, right?
No, I mean, I didn't even get we

691
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,360
didn't get Facebook until I was
like a junior in college to like

692
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,400
give you a perspective like like
I had a cell phone, but it was a

693
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,040
next cell.
My parents had a landscaping

694
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,800
business, so two way, but I
mean, yeah, remember like trying

695
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,200
to do like to get the letters to
text.

696
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,280
Oh yeah.
Everybody just typed KY.

697
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,840
And or if they had next cells
you could two way them and just.

698
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,480
Yeah, those were great.
I love those things.

699
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,680
We used them at the printing
company I worked at when I was

700
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,560
in Arizona.
Nice.

701
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,040
And they work better in cell
phones.

702
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,400
Actually, if you think think
about it, they never failed.

703
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,800
No, they never did like and it
was great for them and they

704
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,480
didn't have to have a bunch of
company phones like with their

705
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,480
employees and stuff.
They just, they would set it up

706
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,240
and it was just two way, that's
how.

707
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,240
My brain works is.
What?

708
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,480
Why do why?
Why does AT&T drop my calls all

709
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,120
the time?
Why does their service suck?

710
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,920
When I think back to how easy it
was to just go, hey, can you

711
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,640
pick up a package on 5th Ave.
and wherever?

712
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:56,880
You know, right?
Right.

713
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,960
We got to go.
We got to bring the Nextel back.

714
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,560
We got to do it.
They knew something that these

715
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,160
cell phone companies now don't.
It's crazy.

716
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,000
Well, it was, it was analog,
right?

717
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,960
I believe it was it was.
Like it was.

718
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,360
Yeah, DMA.
Technology or Yeah, because how

719
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,520
many satellites are in orbit
right now?

720
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,040
It's it's almost too ridiculous,
right?

721
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,120
It's to where we're going to
trap ourselves.

722
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,240
Yes, on the planet.
Elon Musk does window keep

723
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,040
launching satellites at the rate
way?

724
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,120
Wasn't it him that said it or.
Yeah, who's launching satellites

725
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,880
at the rate?
That was the irony is he's the

726
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,520
one also launching satellites.
But yeah, we'll trap ourselves

727
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,120
here to where we couldn't get
off the planet if we wanted to,

728
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,680
if we don't do something about
all the junk that's orbiting the

729
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,320
Earth.
Right.

730
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,160
Crazy.
So back to

731
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:48,560
lizlizrodriguezcoaching.com and
it's Rodriguez coaching.com

732
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,640
websites.
Pretty straightforward, you

733
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,880
know, which I like.
I don't like the whole click

734
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,200
funnel websites because that's
kind of a pain in the butt.

735
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,680
But you know, there's a picture
of her.

736
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,640
She talks about her story.
She's standing on what looks

737
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,000
like a pier.
Was it Georgia?

738
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,720
Georgia.
OK, Georgia, we were, that's

739
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,880
when we were still over landing.
We still had our rooftop tent.

740
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:12,760
And, you know, I'm not really
good with the whole, you know, I

741
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,639
spent my career in fitness
working with a bunch of dudes.

742
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:17,960
Like, I'm not like, let's go do
a photo shoot.

743
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,040
So when we had to try to find
pictures for the website, it was

744
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,560
very difficult.
So we're at this beautiful,

745
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:25,719
like, piece of land and my
husband's like, go out on there

746
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:26,960
and we're going to take some
pictures.

747
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,000
I'm like, yeah.
Great.

748
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,840
I dig it, I know.
But I don't see.

749
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,560
And I like because I like that
too, right?

750
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,679
Just be yourself.
You don't need to be all prim

751
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:35,679
and proper.
Look at me.

752
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:37,199
I'm with him.
I like the simple.

753
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:38,880
That's what we try and do with
the show.

754
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,400
Simple, natural.
We're just having a

755
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,960
conversation.
We're just talking here.

756
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,840
We just got sucked down into my
space rabbit hole.

757
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,520
You're holding the V up plank,
which is cool.

758
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,600
Then you're then you're sitting
on a a pier.

759
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,920
Are you giving her website 2
thumbs up?

760
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:55,920
I am.
It's good.

761
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,680
It's good.
It's the whole, the whole

762
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,800
coaching concept is it's
customized, versatile,

763
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,680
collaborative and it's results
driven, which is what you want

764
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:04,120
and I like what.
You're looking at.

765
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,920
Right.
You know you've done this.

766
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,760
Right.
And I like the fact that you're,

767
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,080
you're, you're geared towards
women, especially the, what do

768
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,080
you call it, the perimenopause?
Yeah.

769
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,640
So like late 30s, early 40s,
yeah, perimenopause can be

770
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,600
anywhere from like 3334 all the
way up to 50s.

771
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,120
It's kind of.
So for us males in the room.

772
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,800
Yeah, explain that.
Explain that, please.

773
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,800
Totally.
Yeah, yeah.

774
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,040
Yeah, and the reason that
there's such a the biggest way

775
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,880
that it's like people are like,
well, how do I know if I'm in

776
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,400
perimenopause?
It's like, we'll talk to your

777
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,280
mom because that's really going
to be the first one.

778
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,000
So let's first separate and say
like, so what's menopause?

779
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,080
Menopause is after you haven't
had a period for a year.

780
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,080
So usually we're feeling more
like there's people that

781
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,560
specialize more in that, like so
50s and maybe even 60s.

782
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,720
So I'm really looking at the
women that all of a sudden

783
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:51,120
they're like, so OK, the
workouts that I'm doing, I

784
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,200
follow on the same diet.
Now all of a sudden I'm like

785
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,480
putting on weight.
I'm getting brain fog.

786
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,600
I don't feel as good as I used
to.

787
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,040
Like I'm not recovering as well
after I like I'm have a night

788
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,360
out of drinking.
You're probably in

789
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,960
perimenopause.
It's very difficult.

790
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,960
It's not one of those that you
like go to the doctor and like,

791
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,600
can I get the perimenopause
test?

792
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,600
Maybe one day, but it's more of
like all of a sudden, really

793
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,920
like how you were and how you
work out in your 20s and 30s is

794
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,720
very different.
You can take on a lot more

795
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:20,600
volume, you recover better, you
can do a lot more, right.

796
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,160
That's why I love watching
CrossFit.

797
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,400
I don't do CrossFit, but I'm
fascinated by it.

798
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Look at those athletes.
What ages are the women like Tia

799
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,920
Toomey is going to Tia Clara
Toomey is going to be she's 32

800
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,600
this year.
She's going to do her was 8th or

801
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,880
9th.
She's crazy.

802
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,520
But she's eventually going to
phase out because she's going to

803
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,560
start to hit perimenopause in
like the next couple of years.

804
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,120
And she's probably the training
is going to start to change.

805
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,760
But all those athletes are in
their 20s and early 30s.

806
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,880
Nobody's out there like that's
40, you know what I'm saying?

807
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,000
So we'll take that to the side.
So really like when I sit down

808
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,520
with women that are like, OK,
I'm really stuck.

809
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,560
Like I'm putting on weight.
I feel like shit.

810
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,560
And it's like, well, now that
your hormones are changing,

811
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,080
right?
Like your metabolism and

812
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,440
everything is changing, we just
want to look at things from a

813
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,760
different lens.
So if you're skipping meals,

814
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,680
you're just going to make your
cortisol levels shoot up.

815
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,000
Guess what that does?
Then you put on weight in your

816
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,680
belly, right?
If you're doing the same

817
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,480
workout.
That's the visceral fat around

818
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,480
your your waist, correct?
Exactly.

819
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,560
And if you're.
From Peter Ho we did nice.

820
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,800
And if you're doing the same
workouts, we're like, great, I'm

821
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,880
doing three sets.
It's a 15 reps and I'm, I'm

822
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,520
rocking out with the 10 LB
weight.

823
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:28,920
You're not putting on any volume
and you're actually just

824
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,400
straining your body more.
We actually need to be lifting

825
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,160
heavier.
So I actually love that those

826
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,360
women, I'm going to assume based
on your age and their age,

827
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,400
you're telling them actually
what they needed to be doing 6

828
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,320
to 10 reps and like higher
volume because we don't recover

829
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,960
as well.
So we want to lift more.

830
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,320
And if we're going out and I
love running, but all that

831
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,440
cardio is just draining our
system.

832
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,840
So doing either like short and
quick like getting up and doing

833
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:58,200
some like 30 seconds on full
recovery, or just slow steady

834
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,360
like walking.
So 30 seconds on meaning Sprint

835
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,520
for 30 seconds and walk.
Sprint and then walk until

836
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,560
you're fully recovered.
OK, cuz so kind of like the

837
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,800
orange theory concept, push base
all out.

838
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,840
Exactly.
So, OK, cool.

839
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,000
OK.
That's, but a lot of them, what

840
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,960
they follow though is zone 2 and
too much zone 2 for females that

841
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,720
are perimenopause can really,
it's, it's kind of draining

842
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,120
their system because what
they're up against is your

843
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,000
hormones are kind of going
crazy, right?

844
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,880
You might be starting, your
metabolism is starting to slow

845
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,800
down.
So if you're doing too much

846
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,720
volume, it's just going to kind
of crush you and it sort of

847
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:34,480
makes everything worse instead.
Of.

848
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,480
So define volume if you would
please, because now everybody's

849
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,640
going to understand what you're
saying.

850
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,560
Yeah.
So when we talk about volume, so

851
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,040
if we're staying on the cardio
side, like if you're going in

852
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,040
and you're like, great, I'm
doing a workout and I'm going to

853
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,280
do 2 minutes hard and then one
minute easy.

854
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,880
And I'm going to do like 10
rounds and you're like super

855
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,000
guest.
That's really a lot of volume,

856
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,120
right?
Versus like, hey, I'm going to

857
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,960
get on the treadmill.
I'm going to go as hard as I can

858
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,760
for 30 seconds.
I'm going to walk.

859
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,120
I'm going to make sure like, OK,
it's been 2-3 minutes.

860
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,720
I recovered, now I'm going to go
again.

861
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,920
So overall, I'm going to do a
couple of intervals, but I'm

862
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,560
going to fully recover.
That amount of volume is much

863
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,320
smaller.
I probably only did, let's say I

864
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,640
do 4 rounds, that's two minutes
all out versus the girl next to

865
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,360
her did 14 minutes of all out.
That's very different.

866
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,240
So if you're doing it outside
and you say you're going to go

867
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:25,640
for a two mile walk, so 30
seconds all out and you walk

868
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,520
until, like you said, you're
fully recovered and then 30

869
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,760
seconds all out again, walk to
till you're you're completely

870
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,640
recovered.
And you can do that for that

871
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,840
amount of distance and that
still has the same impact as if

872
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,880
you're on a treadmill.
Yeah, absolutely.

873
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,280
Or is that too much?
It's not too much.

874
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,400
It's not overkill.
I would say when you're going to

875
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,680
do all out, really, if you do
all out correctly, it no matter

876
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,440
who it is, whether we're talking
male or female, if you once you

877
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,760
get to 3/4 reps, you're going to
be done anyways.

878
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,920
And then you could do it in any
modality.

879
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,000
Let's say we're going to hear
people that are like, I don't

880
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,640
run.
You could use a bike.

881
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,480
You could use a rower, you could
use a ski.

882
00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:00,320
OK, but with both go back to the
bike thing, because the bike

883
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,680
thing, right, you're my wife and
I get up every morning 5:00 and

884
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,960
and we go for depending on how
quick we get out of the house

885
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,480
and how awake we are, anywhere
from one to three mile walk,

886
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,800
right.
Because and she's a teacher,

887
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,920
she's got to come and get ready
for school.

888
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:19,080
So as we do our stuff, there's
there's the, you know, the Iron

889
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,960
Man bicyclist and then there's
the neighborhood bicyclist,

890
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:22,360
right?
Yep.

891
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,360
To me, the neighborhood bike
list is not doing shit.

892
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,920
You're going to ride the bike.
He's.

893
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,520
Doing more than me.
I know, but what I'm getting at

894
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,120
is you're sitting on a bike and
you're just, you're pedaling

895
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,800
your legs.
No, he's really not because I

896
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,640
walk 3 miles a day.
I always forget to say that when

897
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,760
we start talking fitness.
I do walk 3 miles.

898
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,120
Yeah.
My question is this though.

899
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:48,200
Like if I go run 3 miles as
opposed to if I go ride a bike

900
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,360
for three miles, what's doing my
body more benefits?

901
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,120
What's more beneficial to my
body from a workout standpoint,

902
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,560
running or riding a bike?
I'm going to say riding a bike.

903
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,320
So I think I'm going to take it
in the context that I'm thinking

904
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,320
you're Speaking of, because
really what you're talking about

905
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,480
is saying that like there's
people out there that do the

906
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,800
same workouts all the time and
then they never improve because

907
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,960
they don't change anything.
Like they don't change the

908
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,600
speed, they don't change the
dality, they don't change the

909
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:11,920
amount of volume that they're
doing, like.

910
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,880
The people that pass us by on
the path by our house, it's the

911
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,520
same people every day.
They're, they're, they're just

912
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,560
riding their neighborhood people
that have a beach cruiser base.

913
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,920
That's not a beach cruiser.
But you know what I'm saying?

914
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,880
They're just riding the path.
So they probably get up in the

915
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:25,720
morning.
Oh, I'm gonna go ride.

916
00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:28,240
I'm gonna go bike for 10 miles
and then I'm gonna, oh, I worked

917
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:29,760
out for the day.
Right.

918
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,360
And that's gonna be, you know
what, it's at the end of the

919
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,520
day, is it better than nothing?
Absolutely.

920
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,000
And depending on their age, like
it's, it's all good.

921
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,480
But I think that really what
we're learning more of,

922
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,480
especially for us like cardio
junkies out there.

923
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,640
I'm, I like to say I'm more of a
reformed and it's great body

924
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,600
through those things and it's
good for your brain.

925
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,480
You're going outside, you're in
nature.

926
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,560
But when we're actually talking
about like, what do we want it

927
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,880
like, like I just talked about
like those short little

928
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,280
interviews.
Those are specific because of

929
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,360
our, how we want to spike our
metabolism, get our body moving

930
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,280
and like putting yourself in a
great place to increase muscle

931
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,680
mass, all that stuff.
I'm talking about specifically

932
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,240
like you are in your 40s and
you're like, I want to see some

933
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:10,760
results.
Like I want to look good for my

934
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,320
husband or boyfriend or myself
or whatever, you know what I

935
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,000
mean?
Like that's, but then there's

936
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,560
just the basic like, is this
person going on and moving?

937
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,520
We have a huge epidemic right
now that people don't do

938
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,560
anything, right?
It's if it's that versus

939
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,000
nothing, cool.
But if you're looking at like, I

940
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,480
want to improve my VO2 Max or I
want to put on more muscle or

941
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,520
something.
If you do the same thing every

942
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,080
day, what did Einstein say?
It's insanity, right?

943
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:35,360
You're not going to.
You're not going to change

944
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,440
anything.
Now, can you do interval

945
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,760
training on a bike?
Absolutely.

946
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,160
OK, so you.
Can you can just haul ass for 30

947
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,720
seconds and then kind of just
cruise it down, but.

948
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:46,840
Then you don't have all that
impact on your body.

949
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:50,880
Yeah, because really like when
we talk about the high impact

950
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,920
specifically like back to my my
target age group and stuff, is

951
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,240
that we want to make it like
sort of like really quality over

952
00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:59,320
quantity.
That's really what it comes down

953
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,160
to.
And that for a lot of people,

954
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,920
because I train a lot of former
athletes, even myself, is that I

955
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,000
was used to doing all of this,
right?

956
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,240
Like all this volume and now
you're like, so you want me to

957
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:13,160
lift 6 to 8 reps instead.
Yeah, but I got to go heavier.

958
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,200
Like you want me to go 33 or 4
rounds at 30 seconds.

959
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,960
That's it.
But it's what my body needs

960
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,240
right now.
Just like obviously you're in

961
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:23,480
your 50s now.
What you can do now is different

962
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:24,720
than what you did when you were
30.

963
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:26,440
And there's nothing wrong with
that, right?

964
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,800
I'm in better shape now than
when I was 30.

965
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,920
Well.
I could never have ran a 6

966
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,160
minute, a sub six minute mile
back-to-back.

967
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,320
No, I knew him when I was 30.
He was in my band.

968
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,360
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't.
I mean, it wasn't.

969
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:43,120
He wasn't in bad shape, but he's
no, he's not exaggerating at

970
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,480
all.
No, what he's saying is 100%

971
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:46,600
true.
He couldn't went out there.

972
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,600
He just wasn't into that kind of
stuff at the time because we

973
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,520
were out there playing all the
time.

974
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,640
So yeah, he's but he's 100%
right.

975
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:59,320
He's in 1000 times better shape
now at 50, something that he was

976
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,120
when he was 30.
Thank you, Mike, for sure.

977
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,000
So this fascinates me so.
I was there.

978
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,680
I saw it.
The, the interval, what you're

979
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,200
talking about, Liz, fascinates
me because it can work with male

980
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,120
or female, right?
So it's just a matter of so, so

981
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,600
from a running standpoint,
biking standpoint, 32nd

982
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,000
intervals, do three or four of
those.

983
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,760
And like you said, you should be
spent by that if you're doing it

984
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,880
correctly.
And then from a weight

985
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,960
standpoint, instead of, you
know, three sets of 10, you want

986
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,360
to do 6 to 8 reps, but you want
to add significant weight to it.

987
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:39,600
So if I'm curling 30 lbs 30
times, I want to get 40 lbs and

988
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,520
try to do three sets of 6 to 8
with that 40 lbs.

989
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,440
Exactly.
More impact on me.

990
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,000
Exactly.
And like you want to leave just

991
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,480
like one or two in the in the
tank, I like to say.

992
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:53,080
And really, I think the biggest
difference coming from someone

993
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,920
that like, I've been lifting now
for, I don't know, 25 years,

994
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,680
like it's just a different, it's
a different, it's a different

995
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,280
modality.
Like I think that we're really

996
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,080
taught of like, yeah, you know,
just do your reps and like

997
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,800
everything is good, you know,
like do your, you know, your,

998
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,560
your high reps and your low
weight.

999
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,240
So when you get, you really want
to make sure that you're

1000
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:12,800
proficient in the lifting and
stuff, right?

1001
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,520
Like you don't want to just like
jump up or like instead of chest

1002
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,640
pressing 15 pounders and you're
like, I'm just gonna grab the

1003
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,120
30s.
That becomes a very different

1004
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,880
lift, right?
Like in terms of like your form

1005
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,760
and like, you know, the exertion
and all that.

1006
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,120
So it's just even when I was
talking to my husband about it,

1007
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:28,600
he's like, what do you mean like
lifting heavy?

1008
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,120
Like as I've gotten more into
the research for women and stuff

1009
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,680
and what works and I'm like,
yeah, but think about it, babe.

1010
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,320
Like I've been training for how
long?

1011
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,880
Like I can do that though,
because I have the form.

1012
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,280
It's just like, it's literally
just going to the weight to the

1013
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,240
weight rack.
Like, OK, Liz, so if I'm going

1014
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:44,960
to go three sets, I'm going to
go 303540.

1015
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,120
Oh, OK.
So increase the volume as you

1016
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,400
go.
Yeah, I, that's how I like doing

1017
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,120
it.
I feel like it's easier for me

1018
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,040
because I still, I have some
limitations.

1019
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,160
I had some back surgery I've
had, I've gotten, I've got

1020
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,760
arthritis in every part of my
body.

1021
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,720
I'm your typical former athlete.
What was what, What'd you do?

1022
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:03,680
What was the what was the sport?
I was tracking cross country in

1023
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,400
college so I ran the five and
10K during track and then for

1024
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:12,560
collegiate sports you run 5 and
6, five and six K for women, men

1025
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:13,840
do.
You got for Illinois State?

1026
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,040
I did.
I was really that, But yeah, I

1027
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,680
did run for Illinois State.
So what's what was your fastest

1028
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,000
5K?
1846.

1029
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:28,680
Wow, what's your fastest 10K?
4038 wasn't very good.

1030
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,880
Yeah, it's OK.
Yeah, you know.

1031
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,880
My son's A rings better he Yeah,
my son's A rings.

1032
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,200
I mean, and then he'll poke shit
at me.

1033
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,320
He did.
He ran 4.88 miles the I think

1034
00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:43,280
Sunday, he said in 43 minutes
and he was he was disappointed.

1035
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,240
My husband's a Marine, once a
Marine, always a Marine.

1036
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:49,960
And yeah, he's still like, he'll
do like I like, I want to beat

1037
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,800
my PFT test again from 20.
I'm like, OK, yeah, go.

1038
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,040
You well.
That's yeah, that that's how I

1039
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,040
ended up getting the sub six
minute mile 'cause he he texted

1040
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,000
me one day and he's like, hey,
dad, I just I just ran a mile on

1041
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,880
6 O one.
I'm like, I'm coming after you.

1042
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,680
He's like, OK, old man.
It took me about 18 months

1043
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,280
because I was at 7:40 and it
took me 18 months to get to 555.

1044
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,400
But you know.
That's pretty good.

1045
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,400
And then, and then I rubbed it
in his face.

1046
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,640
Did he ever beat that?
I don't, I don't know if he did

1047
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,320
or not because then he changed,
He went to drill instructor

1048
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,640
school and then kind of changed
his, his stuff.

1049
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,000
Now he's now he's working with
reservist and Pendleton.

1050
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,800
So he's kind of getting back
into all the, the, the physical

1051
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:36,600
aspect of it because he doesn't,
he's not, he's accounting supply

1052
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,160
and logistics was what his MOS
was when he came in because

1053
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,000
there's a backup shipper.
So he filled the void of

1054
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,280
somebody and then he couldn't do
it was engineering and airplane

1055
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,760
mechanic and do either because
it's color deficient because oh,

1056
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,520
that's a red wire.
No, it's not as blue, you know,

1057
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,520
so we got stuck in that box,
which my wife loves because he's

1058
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:00,280
never going to get shot at.
So it's it's weird dynamic when

1059
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,200
you're when you was in drill
instructor boot camp.

1060
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,240
I don't I don't remember what
what the PFTS numbers were

1061
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:07,600
there.
He just had to pass.

1062
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,280
He's always passed them.
He's always he's always flown

1063
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:11,680
through that part of it.
Curious.

1064
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,840
To know if he beat that time
because you know he tried.

1065
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh yeah.

1066
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,440
I mean his his I want to say his
5K.

1067
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,600
His best 5K is around 1515 1/2
but don't quote me on that to.

1068
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:24,840
Find out my my sister's still
in.

1069
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,360
She's a master Sergeant over in
June.

1070
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,600
Right on.
He ate.

1071
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:32,000
I'm like, what?
It's kind of crazy.

1072
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,880
She's an E8.
You can tell your tell your son

1073
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,120
like, oh, the girl we
interviewed, her sister's an E8

1074
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,840
and he's gonna be like, he's
gonna be like, who's this?

1075
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,600
Newman.
Newman.

1076
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,480
It's.
Awesome.

1077
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:43,600
I love it.
You love Seinfeld.

1078
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:47,320
Yeah, I understand my husband
more now that I watch Seinfeld.

1079
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,600
That was like his favorite show
and like the more I watched him

1080
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,040
like oh.
Yeah, we like him more.

1081
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:55,280
Yeah.
We're we're Seinfeld, Seinfeld,

1082
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,880
Office, I'm that's too as soon.
As somebody says, I hate

1083
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,440
Seinfeld.
I'm like, what is wrong with

1084
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,720
you?
I don't.

1085
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,520
Trust you anymore, you know.
I have a hard time and I like

1086
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:06,720
you.
We have to figure this out,

1087
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:09,320
right?
I've had people that I really

1088
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:10,960
like go.
I just don't understand.

1089
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,680
I hate that show.
I'm like I we have to talk.

1090
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,480
It's so funny.
So we're going to circle back to

1091
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,080
lizrodriguezcoaching.com because
we're all about plugging people

1092
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,920
on our show.
So you're talking about food

1093
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,440
here and it's not all about
broccoli and chicken every day.

1094
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,960
So you want to give us some.
I don't want you to give away

1095
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:30,840
all your stuff because I want
people to go to your site.

1096
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,760
I want people to hire you to be
their coach, but I want you to

1097
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,840
give us Nuggets that will entice
people to want to go to your

1098
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,800
site to want to talk to you.
So from a meal planning

1099
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,280
standpoint, we got the interval
training for weights and for,

1100
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:47,360
for the running part of it.
And that's, that's great.

1101
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,240
I'm going to kind of incorporate
that the next couple weeks and

1102
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:52,520
see what it does for me because
I'm that guy that, that I like.

1103
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:58,280
Monday I went to the gym and I,
I did bench press, but I did 145

1104
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,600
lbs.
I did 6 reps of 10.

1105
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,240
And in between those reps I was
doing dumbbell curls, 30 lbs.

1106
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,160
And then I ended up doing
pullovers and then triceps and

1107
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:13,200
all that kind of jazz.
But to your point, now that's

1108
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,480
not going to really have a, a
severe impact on me because

1109
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,320
that's what I'm accustomed to,
right?

1110
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,640
So you get a you build a base
and then you just kind of do

1111
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,040
what you think is right.
So you just opened up a whole

1112
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,800
new can of whoop ass in my head.
Thank you for that.

1113
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:30,600
So now I, I want to, I want to
kind of explore and I hope you

1114
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,760
did that for people that are
watching us right now.

1115
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,760
And then those are going to
watch us when we drop us on the

1116
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,080
podcast platforms and stuff.
But I want to talk a little bit

1117
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:42,320
now about the food because food
is amazing if you, if you do it

1118
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,240
properly.
Like Nikki and I stopped

1119
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:48,600
starches, not completely, but I
was that guy that had had a, had

1120
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,360
a tortilla burrito for
breakfast, a chicken rice

1121
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,360
tortilla for lunch, bread,
things like that.

1122
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,560
And once I stopped that, all the
inflammation that I was having,

1123
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,000
the pain I was having in my, in
my neck from my, my vertebrae,

1124
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:01,760
which Mike has the same thing
from a, from an accident.

1125
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,240
It, it almost, I would say 95%
went away.

1126
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,240
Every now and then I'll get
tingling down my arm every now

1127
00:51:07,240 --> 00:51:09,920
and I'll get tingling in the
side of my head, but just

1128
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,280
stopping the bad starches like
like Ritz crackers, Liz.

1129
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,920
Oh my God, I love Ritz crackers.
They're so unhealthy and and

1130
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,760
just the stuff that's in that
blew my mind and Triscuits and

1131
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,720
and saltines.
I thought saltines are better.

1132
00:51:23,720 --> 00:51:24,760
Nick is like, what are you
doing?

1133
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,120
I'm like, it's just a saltine.
She's like, no, it's in rich

1134
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:29,400
flour.
It's bad.

1135
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,560
So it's like all that stuff is
gone.

1136
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,640
We've probably had, you know,
four or five occasions in the

1137
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,320
period of 2 1/2 months now where
we, we, we had tacos or

1138
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,320
whatever.
You're right.

1139
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,960
But I want to talk more about
the, the, the food because

1140
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,720
again, like you said, a diet
fad, quick fixes don't work.

1141
00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:50,440
It's a healthy lifestyle.
You have to change your approach

1142
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,440
and you got to create that
habit.

1143
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:57,280
And it starts by just, you know,
getting, getting geared towards

1144
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,720
a healthier way to consume food.
And so kind of explain, if you

1145
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:03,720
will, what the holistic approach
is, because not everybody's

1146
00:52:03,720 --> 00:52:05,320
going to understand that.
I'm one of those.

1147
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,040
I don't know how food can be
holistic.

1148
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:11,480
So please expand on that.
Oh, yeah.

1149
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,480
Well, part of that is when you
have a website and you hire

1150
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,640
someone with SEO, you got to put
in the keywords so people find

1151
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,640
your website.
So let's just get that out of

1152
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:20,760
the way.
That's why sometimes you read

1153
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,160
websites, you're like, it's kind
of a funky sentence.

1154
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,400
And it's like, Oh yeah, that's
because it got to get some

1155
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,920
keywords in there.
But in terms of overall, right,

1156
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,920
like the biggest thing that
really I work on with women to

1157
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,160
start is like, OK, let's let's
look at like what you're doing

1158
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:36,680
right now.
That's that's obviously it's not

1159
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,520
working, right?
So let's break it down and tip.

1160
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,920
So what am I typically seeing
and what I want to work on with

1161
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,640
them?
We're typically not eating

1162
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,880
anything in the morning.
Like we're starting with coffee.

1163
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,160
And then like we're not eating
for a while because we love the

1164
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,240
whole intermittent fasting
thing.

1165
00:52:49,240 --> 00:52:51,720
Guess who it works for men?
Guess who it doesn't work for

1166
00:52:51,720 --> 00:52:55,080
women?
And like, Oh yes, all in terms

1167
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:59,400
of like all if you Google, like
who was the research done on

1168
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,920
intermittent fasting men?
And so there's exceptions to

1169
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,160
that in terms of if you're
looking to lose a lot of weight

1170
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,280
and things like that.
That's not in my wheelhouse.

1171
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,000
That's, that's a different
population, right?

1172
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,800
I'm typically working with
people that are looking to lose

1173
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,560
somewhere between like 5 and
like 35 lbs, right?

1174
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,200
Kind of that.
And so the first thing I tell

1175
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,560
women is, is that especially as
your body starts to change, so

1176
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,320
hormones are going all woohoo.
And so when we wake up in the

1177
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,920
morning and the first thing
we're putting in is caffeine and

1178
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,360
then we're not eating for a
while, guess what the cortisol

1179
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:28,880
does?
It goes.

1180
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,040
So the first thing that I work
on with them is where's the

1181
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,120
breakfast?
Even if it's something small?

1182
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,120
And guess what they usually
combat that with, well, I'm not

1183
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,240
hungry.
It doesn't matter.

1184
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,360
Your brain is sending a signal
that if you don't eat within

1185
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,920
about an hour of waking up
something a little bit of

1186
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,280
protein, your cortisol levels
could stay level elevated the

1187
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:48,560
rest of the day.
Right.

1188
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,200
This is this is more towards
women than it is men, correct?

1189
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,520
More towards women than men.
Men do great within a minute

1190
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,560
fasting.
You can go into all the

1191
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,360
research.
The way I really explain it

1192
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,320
though too is if you look at our
bodies, right?

1193
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,240
Like so we both have essential
body fat that we need.

1194
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:06,040
I need 12 to 14%, you need 2 to
4%.

1195
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,240
You got to cover your testes.
I got to care, cover my uterus

1196
00:54:09,240 --> 00:54:12,560
and all that other stuff.
So we're made to outlive men,

1197
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,120
right?
That's why you guys.

1198
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,720
And then we could go back.
You can only evolve so far.

1199
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,680
Your muscular skeletal system is
better than ours, but our

1200
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,520
cardiovascular system is better
than yours.

1201
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,800
So you know what I'm saying.
And so you have to start to

1202
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,520
think that if we're made to
outlive men and bear children,

1203
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,440
whether or not you do that or
not, if you are trying to starve

1204
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,120
your body, it's not going to
work, right?

1205
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,280
Doesn't that make sense?
So I would say first big tidbit

1206
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,240
is look at your day and make
sure that we're starting with,

1207
00:54:40,240 --> 00:54:43,000
let's maybe swap a little bit of
water before that caffeine just

1208
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,320
to try to calm the cortisol and
then get something in your belly

1209
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,080
within an hour of waking up
something small.

1210
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,600
Yeah, So what are our past
fitness and and health Wellness

1211
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,320
coach?
And I have a big belief in this.

1212
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,120
I get up, I drink water.
I I this thing's full of water.

1213
00:54:56,720 --> 00:54:58,680
It's 32 oz.
It's the first thing I drink in

1214
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,120
the morning.
Then we leave and do our thing.

1215
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,040
When I come back is when I eat
right?

1216
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,120
And I've always done that.
Like I don't drink, I drink 1

1217
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,480
cup of coffee, sometimes 1 1/2.
But I only drink that after I've

1218
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,280
been up for at least 30 minutes
to an hour.

1219
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,120
So my initial intake is all
water and and I'm poking at

1220
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:16,680
Nikki to make her do that as
well.

1221
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,200
She stopped.
She stopped CAF coffee all

1222
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,440
together.
She just has English breakfast

1223
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:28,040
tea, but she doesn't start.
Anymore either, but I'm very do.

1224
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,400
Does this look like caffeine?
Yeah, see, I don't either.

1225
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:33,360
I just do it kind of like the
flavor Mike turned me on, the

1226
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,840
Don Francisco's butterscotch and
toffee flavor I changed.

1227
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,680
I do love the decaf.
I mean I love coffee.

1228
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:40,680
I just.
Changed his life.

1229
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,640
Yeah, he did change my life.
OK, so, so so your woman gets

1230
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,240
up, they're going to they're
going to pound some water to get

1231
00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:50,320
the I call it lubricating the
system, right?

1232
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:51,760
It's like oil for the body.
I.

1233
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,000
Mean, yeah, I love that you're.
Not OK cool woo Hoo.

1234
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,920
So we lubricate the body in the
morning and then within 1/2

1235
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,160
within an hour you're saying
they have to eat some type of

1236
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:05,200
protein regardless of what it
could be, an egg it can be.

1237
00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:07,360
It can be part of your protein
shake.

1238
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,920
It could be like a couple bites
of like some overnight oats

1239
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,640
that's got some whole milk in
there and some chia seeds and

1240
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,520
stuff like that.
Like just even if it's just

1241
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,200
something like I'm, I don't eat
a lot in the morning and

1242
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,520
especially like I'm either
working out early or training

1243
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,360
early.
And so I make my protein shake

1244
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,120
in the at night and then it's
got about 60 grams in it.

1245
00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:28,480
So I'll have maybe just like 1/3
of it, couple sips I'm good and

1246
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,320
I'll save the rest of it for
after my workout.

1247
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,640
So.
That's a brilliant idea 'cause

1248
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,080
we meal, we meal prep, Nikki
makes, we we do chicken like we

1249
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:41,400
go to This is Life Hack World.
Costco sells rotisserie chickens

1250
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,320
for $5.
OK, so you go to Costco on

1251
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,840
Sundays and you spend $10 and
get 2 rotisserie chickens.

1252
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,560
The reason why I bring this up
to go to the grocery store,

1253
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,120
They're 10 bucks for these tiny
little corners game him size

1254
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,040
looking.
Yeah, stupid.

1255
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,080
So for for 10 bucks, you you we
have an I could go get it.

1256
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,840
It's it's a container that's
like the size of I don't know, I

1257
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,400
don't know.
You could put a whole bag of

1258
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,480
popcorn that's popped in the box
in the plastic container and

1259
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,760
cover it and would fit perfectly
of chicken for the week.

1260
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,720
She makes her three meals right
away and then I have stuff for

1261
00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:16,520
my stuff and then she makes some
more stuff for Thursday and

1262
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,600
Friday.
But meal prepping in an

1263
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,240
inexpensive way by going to
Costco.

1264
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:22,560
Yes, Costco.
I'm giving you a shout out.

1265
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,400
Come sponsor us rotissue
chickens.

1266
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,440
You can't beat it, right?
But that's that's good protein.

1267
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,560
Fish is good protein, but but
for breakfast, you you don't

1268
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,840
want to eat chicken.
And I mean, you can, I guess,

1269
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,120
you know, if you're Mark
Wahlberg and, you know, weird

1270
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:39,680
people that just, you know, the
rock.

1271
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:46,840
It's a bit like 3:00 AM and.
So water, some type of protein,

1272
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,720
then you can have your caffeine
if you want it.

1273
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,960
I'm a big believer in like, like
I have my breakfast a couple

1274
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,600
hours later, couple hours later
I'll have a honey crisp apple.

1275
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,080
Then I'll have my lunch, which
is, is is still chicken based or

1276
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,880
tuna based.
But I, I took the rice away

1277
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,760
because of the, the starchiness
of it.

1278
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,680
Tortilla away.
Now I use egg wraps, you know,

1279
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,040
so I'll throw that in there with
Turkey sauces, things like that.

1280
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,640
So is it, is it, are you, are
you having for women?

1281
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,440
Do they need to eat, you know, 3
meals a day?

1282
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,360
Do they need to have like little
pockets between?

1283
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,560
Because like with Nikki, she's a
teacher, right?

1284
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,880
And teachers now don't have
lunches.

1285
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,360
They, they don't have prep
periods because the way the

1286
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,200
school districts are just, you
know, like whatever, you don't

1287
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,320
need that and you really do.
So she struggles sometimes with

1288
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,200
what you're talking about as far
as you know, she'll get to lunch

1289
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,360
and she's not hungry when I'm
like, you still need to eat,

1290
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:37,880
especially when you come home
and work out with me.

1291
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,040
You have to eat.
You have to have some type of

1292
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:41,320
protein.
Otherwise you're not going to

1293
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,360
get any result from working out
because you're going to be, I

1294
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,600
don't want to work out, which
she doesn't because I push her,

1295
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,320
but it still doesn't have the
same impact.

1296
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,040
So what would a, what would a
meal routine look like for

1297
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,280
somebody that's in the
premenopausal stuff you're

1298
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:59,640
talking about?
That is just kind of off, off

1299
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:01,600
course and they need to kind of
get dialed in.

1300
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:04,680
Make it simple, right?
Because like when we, when we

1301
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,320
had Nate the, the fitness guy on
the show, his big thing was if

1302
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,000
you're, if you're not in shape,
the first thing you do, you

1303
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,560
start walking, walk 30 minutes
in the morning, 30 minutes at

1304
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,560
night, get to your walk in an
hour a day.

1305
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,560
And that alone is going to make
a difference in your life

1306
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:19,440
because you're doing something
more than you were doing before.

1307
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,440
So what's kind of a snapshot?
And again, I don't want to give

1308
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,160
up your stuff, but just a
snapshot of what a day would

1309
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,240
look like for someone that you
say, OK, this is the best

1310
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,320
approach from a meal standpoint
for you to kind of adapt in your

1311
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,080
lifestyle to start the progress,
to start your journey forward.

1312
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,280
Yeah.
And I'm a big macro person.

1313
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,920
And the reason for that is
because I feel like it helps

1314
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,960
since I have all different types
of people and their schedules

1315
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,760
are different.
Just like you mentioned, your

1316
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,160
wife's schedule is different
than mine.

1317
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:51,080
So I really kind of break down
to them to say, hey, we kind of

1318
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,360
get the basics out of the way.
Like what's their water intake

1319
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:54,840
like?
How much processed foods are

1320
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,320
they eating?
Things like that kind of, we'll

1321
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,000
say the basics, are they eating
fruits and vegetables kind of

1322
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,440
thing.
And then as we're getting kind

1323
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,800
of into the meals, I.
I always give them a goal.

1324
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:06,440
I give them a little CHEAT SHEET
of macros for fiber and for

1325
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,960
protein, right?
For protein.

1326
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,320
And this is always, I always
like to say or not a, I'm a

1327
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:12,880
nutrition coach, not a
dietitian.

1328
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:16,000
Dietitians have viewpoints.
I always say if it's an active

1329
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,760
person that's working out a
couple times a week, we're

1330
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:21,800
looking at around .8 to 1.0g per
pound of body weight.

1331
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,080
So like I weigh 145.
I'm looking at around 1:30 to

1332
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,640
1:45 a day for protein and then
for five.

1333
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,400
How tall are you?
Okay.

1334
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,440
Yeah, so I'm 54, I get a lot of
muscles, so I'm probably.

1335
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:39,320
I'm not, I'm not judging.
I just, yeah, I just, I think

1336
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,800
it's like when everybody like we
had Justin Willoughby on, He's

1337
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,000
coming on one of our past shows.
He lost £600.

1338
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,880
He weighed 799 lbs, six when he
was 16 years old, which is

1339
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,560
insane, but until he told us how
tall he was, it didn't really

1340
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,480
like he's 58.
Wasn't he 58, Mike?

1341
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,120
Yeah, he's an inch shorter than
me.

1342
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:02,560
Right, so right, so that's.
Basically the same height.

1343
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:04,600
Right.
So that's why I asked that

1344
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,840
question, not not to be like,
yeah, I just wanted to know.

1345
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,080
So people that are watching,
listening, they understand, OK,

1346
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,880
this is somebody who is super
healthy, former athlete, still

1347
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:16,280
trains like an athlete, eats
very healthy, has a very clean,

1348
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,880
rich lifestyle.
So it's good to understand you

1349
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,920
have muscle.
You're 54145.

1350
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,640
And because that's the other
thing with women, right?

1351
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:27,000
It's hard to put muscle on.
It gets more difficult, Yeah.

1352
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,720
So that's why I give them a goal
of protein to start and then

1353
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,880
eventually fiber.
And fiber I still just kind of

1354
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,280
go by like the basics of if
you're over 40, you're looking

1355
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,760
at 30 grams a day.
If you're under, it's 25 men,

1356
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,920
it's actually a little higher.
You guys are more like 35 to 40.

1357
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,440
And then we break down to say,
like, what's their eating

1358
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,560
lifestyle like?
Are we looking at a regular

1359
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:48,440
carnivore?
Are they pescetarian?

1360
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,240
Are they?
I've worked with a vegan for a

1361
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:51,840
year and I did like all her meal
prepping.

1362
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,320
Oh my God, that was a lot.
But it was fun.

1363
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:55,520
And then from there I look.
Hard.

1364
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,680
It's so hard.
And then I look at their day to

1365
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:02,400
say, where can we plug in meals?
So back to your original thing,

1366
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,360
like in terms of how often and
stuff that they're eating, it's

1367
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,920
probably around 3:00 to four
times a day.

1368
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,560
And then I just base it off of
like, what do they like to eat?

1369
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:13,520
How are we going to hit that
macro?

1370
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,560
And then where are we going to
put in those meals?

1371
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:19,240
And then I can start to break
down like what's in the meals

1372
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,560
and things like that.
The one thing I will last to big

1373
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,680
tidbit though for women though,
because we, I think they're

1374
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,640
getting the whole protein thing.
But what really gets missed as

1375
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,520
our metabolism starts to change
and how we process carbs is

1376
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,480
differently.
And usually what happens is for

1377
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,560
men, you guys do pretty well
with low carb.

1378
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,480
We don't.
So that's why I use the big old

1379
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,000
F word and say like, I don't
want you to think of carbs.

1380
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,240
I want you to think of fiber.
What has fiber in it?

1381
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:48,120
Beans, lentils, your fruits and
veggies like your you know, your

1382
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:49,520
sweet potatoes.
Blueberries.

1383
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:51,040
Blueberries.
Right, All that stuff.

1384
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:53,040
Yeah, Get a combination of those
things.

1385
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,320
Get some soluble and insoluble
fiber.

1386
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:56,880
That's OK.
So stop.

1387
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,040
So stop there.
Explain to people what insoluble

1388
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:00,520
and soluble fiber is.
Yeah.

1389
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,360
So think of insoluble exactly.
It's got some roughage.

1390
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,280
So that's going to be your
berries, that's going to be your

1391
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,760
veggies.
That's like what keeps us going,

1392
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:09,760
right?
Keep this regular.

1393
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:13,080
And then your soluble is more of
your absorbable fiber, so helps

1394
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,080
with gut health, blood sugar
regulation, right?

1395
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,600
The brain fog out there, ladies.
And that's going to be more of

1396
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,600
your beans and your legumes,
your complex carbohydrates, your

1397
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,120
root vegetables.
And then as you look at those,

1398
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,120
it's a matter of like, well,
which ones do you like?

1399
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:28,760
Like if you're like, I don't
want to eat quinoa.

1400
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:30,600
Well, then don't eat quinoa.
Like eat.

1401
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,920
I usually start everybody root
vegetables seems to be the best

1402
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,360
route.
So sweet potatoes yams your

1403
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:41,520
acorn squash better not squash.
That's like a nice segue in and

1404
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,600
is also if you have any
intolerances, the likelihood of

1405
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,280
you being intolerant to a sweet
potato is pretty low versus

1406
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,880
couscous or quinoa or pharaoh or
buck weed or something like

1407
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,440
that.
Yeah, OK.

1408
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,360
Cool talking to somebody with a
lot of allergies so.

1409
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,280
Yeah.
And and like if you have

1410
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,680
different food intolerances or
allergies, then you have to kind

1411
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,120
of work around that, right?
So.

1412
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,280
Luckily for me I found that mine
aren't fruits and vegetables, so

1413
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,520
mine's all dairy products.
Well, and that's kind of a good

1414
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,600
thing because.
Good for you, I found out that

1415
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,600
I'm actually just a superior
human being.

1416
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,400
You're just figuring out what we
all should be doing anyways,

1417
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:16,560
right?
Less hormones.

1418
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,320
Yeah, we were lied to for a lot
of years.

1419
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,400
A lot of people don't know that.
This is proven through the

1420
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,440
Freedom Information Act that
scientists were paid the

1421
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:29,640
equivalent of $50,000 in today's
money to basically lie and say

1422
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:37,040
that butter and trans fat was
causing us to have heart disease

1423
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,520
and this is what was killing us.
And this is a true story.

1424
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,440
And they were, they were
basically paid off by the sugar

1425
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:46,520
industry.
So right after that happened,

1426
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,640
all the sudden breakfast cereals
went from just being bland corn

1427
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:56,120
flakes and Raisin Bran to sugar
pops and, you know, Frosted

1428
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,000
Flakes and all the shit we grew
up with.

1429
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,080
Count Chocula.
There was a reason that that

1430
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,440
stuff wasn't in the food before,
right?

1431
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,120
Because they were pretty sure it
was bad.

1432
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,000
And dude.
We just got, we got Hoodwink for

1433
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,760
a long time.
We did.

1434
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,000
I would say our my worst food
hangover ever.

1435
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:16,680
My husband and I like on
Saturdays and we lived in New

1436
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,240
York City.
We'd usually I would work until

1437
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,000
about 3:00, we'd get out, we'd
go get a drink somewhere, grab

1438
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:24,040
some pizza.
Anyways, we went over to, I

1439
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:25,320
forget the name of the grocery
store.

1440
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,640
It was probably Fairway and we
were like let's just have cereal

1441
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,440
for dinner and we got like all
the good ones like 7 different

1442
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:36,920
boxes of cereal like cocoa puffs
and like 6 days worth of sugar.

1443
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,600
In one cent.
Lucky tart and we had a small

1444
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,960
bowl of each of them.
I am telling you I was hungover

1445
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,280
for like 3 days and I'm like
this is.

1446
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,800
Amazing.
And I'm not nearly as good as

1447
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,920
Chris because I still have way
too much bread in my diet.

1448
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:55,080
Like I'll eat a bagel.
I'm on a time limit because I

1449
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,680
work in a factory, right?
So I have 10 minutes and I have

1450
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,640
20 minutes at lunch.
I have another 10 minutes.

1451
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,800
So whatever I consume and these
are excuses, right?

1452
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:07,360
So I get I get in habits.
So I'll eat a bagel for my snack

1453
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,200
and then I'll eat like a chicken
salad sandwich, right?

1454
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:13,440
So now I have more bread.
I have the same injury as him.

1455
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,320
I have like bulging discs
between the bottom 2 discs in my

1456
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:20,400
neck which is extremely painful
at times.

1457
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,280
And then it'll like he said, it
will pinch the nerve off to

1458
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,360
where you actually.
Can't feel your arm?

1459
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,160
Yeah, the bottom side of your
arm goes numb.

1460
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,080
You can feel the top side, but
it's just like no feeling down

1461
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,360
the backside of it.
And all it is, is that

1462
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:37,840
inflammation from that disc.
Yeah, it's crazy.

1463
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:39,840
Like when we start with.
That stuff too as well.

1464
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,720
I'm kind of talking myself into
it right here on the show, so.

1465
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,320
Absolutely.
And I think it's also, it's

1466
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,960
funny because when you really
start, when you work with a

1467
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,800
nutrition coach and like, it's
also really, and this is

1468
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,080
probably the really where it
technically is, we'll say the

1469
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:56,400
holistic part of it is, you
know, you do things and it's

1470
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,240
like, Oh yeah, I always feel
like crap every time I eat that.

1471
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,240
I'm like, then why?
Well, I really like it, but.

1472
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,160
In a lot of times you do like
the one thing that I'll notice

1473
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,480
after lunch is you just hear a
lot of Oh my God, I'm so tired,

1474
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:10,360
right?
Yep, there's a reason for that.

1475
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,480
And they don't realize it.
And you can't tell 30 people

1476
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,480
that you work with, hey, it's
because of the shit that you

1477
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,680
just put in your body, right?
They don't want to hear that.

1478
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,200
And I didn't eat that much
better, so who am I to say?

1479
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:26,240
But I know these things because
the one thing he'll always say,

1480
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,400
and I do a lot of it, is I
listen to thousands of hours of

1481
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:33,880
scientists and doctors and just
all kinds of podcasts on

1482
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,240
subjects that I'm not really
even going to follow through on.

1483
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,080
You know, that's why all the
nutrition stuff.

1484
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:42,040
Now you're talking my language
because I've heard so many

1485
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,120
people say those same things,
right?

1486
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,080
Yeah, and I like.
Starches, all that stuff causes

1487
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:48,600
inflammation.
It's just been done.

1488
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,040
You can eat it.
Nobody's saying you can't eat

1489
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:52,600
it.
But when you do, that's why you

1490
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:56,520
hurt and your joints ache and.
Yeah.

1491
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,080
And I think that we're at a
point, you know, control what

1492
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,560
you can control in terms of like
with nutrition.

1493
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,440
And I, we have more stuff
stacked against especially in

1494
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,960
the US because of the way that
our food is made and stuff.

1495
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,400
It's something that I'm working
more with clients is like when

1496
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,200
we look at like hormones and
stuff, especially for females,

1497
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,279
like, dude, if you're consuming
a lot of like dairy or like

1498
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:18,840
highly processed meat and stuff
that you have to think about

1499
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,160
what's the after effects?
So it's really a matter of like,

1500
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,479
you know, let's make sure that
we're, we're doing what we can,

1501
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:26,399
right?
Like we want to.

1502
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,200
And I do believe in so Peter,
Peter Attia has a great book,

1503
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:30,640
right?
It's like how not to die.

1504
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,800
And now research is really like,
if you're going to, if you're

1505
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,600
choosing, we're not choosing
nutrition versus fitness, but I

1506
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,399
would say, hey, if you're going
to choose, do the working out

1507
01:08:39,399 --> 01:08:41,319
instead of the nutrition.
But when we get to that

1508
01:08:41,319 --> 01:08:45,439
nutrition, you know, like do
something quality each day, it's

1509
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,040
never going to be perfect.
We work out a couple times a

1510
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:49,680
week.
Or if you're, if you're like me

1511
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,200
and Chris, we work out every
day.

1512
01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:55,120
You have to do every day, right?
You got to eat every day.

1513
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,800
It's like, I think Weight
Watchers says there's like 41

1514
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:59,560
decisions you make every day
about food.

1515
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,160
They're not all going to be
perfect.

1516
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,200
But if you can like kind of
break it down a little bit more

1517
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,439
where you're like, OK, well, Liz
told me to drink a little bit

1518
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:10,080
more water, try to get some
protein in, start, start looking

1519
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,560
at like what's fiber and like,
how can I get it in my diet?

1520
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:16,439
It's like the same.
It's the same concept of, OK, I

1521
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,520
just got to go out and walk.
You said I can just go out and

1522
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:20,600
walk.
You got to start somewhere with

1523
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:21,000
food.
Well.

1524
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,200
Another thing that you just said
that you shouldn't gloss over

1525
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,880
that people do all the time and
here's why they're in bad shape

1526
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,479
is what you're putting into your
body.

1527
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:34,000
We just learned last week, we
posted it on our page, there's

1528
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,560
nineteen ingredients and a
McDonald's French fry.

1529
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,880
Now in 1975, there was 3.
Chris just told me when he read

1530
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,439
the ingredients, that's the
reason that I've been getting

1531
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,680
sick when at the once in a while
that I'll stop at McDonald's.

1532
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:49,040
I would feel horrible
afterwards.

1533
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,920
There's dairy in there now,
there's straight up milk in a

1534
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:55,120
McDonald's French fry and I'd
sit there and eat like a medium

1535
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,880
sized fry with my burger and.
Getting dairy in there, why is.

1536
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:01,520
That yeah, yeah, there's if you
go to our, if you go to our

1537
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,320
Facebook page.
There's every bad oil, canola

1538
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,720
oil, yeah, oil, veg things.
You can't.

1539
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,480
The things you can't pronounce
that you should actually do is.

1540
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,080
That Peter host does when You
make hot really bad things.

1541
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,840
It's just crazy now.
I overheard your conversation.

1542
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,000
So cereal.
Binge, you were listening in.

1543
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:25,040
That's funny cereal binge night.
And then you you can have a

1544
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,960
chicken salad sandwich without
the sandwich.

1545
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,160
You can take chicken salad and
put it in a Tupperware bowl with

1546
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,560
just your Mayo, mustard,
whatever and and just use a

1547
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:33,800
spoon.
You know.

1548
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,520
So you can still have.
I know, you know, it's horrible

1549
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,840
being inside my head because I
know I'm doing wrong and I do it

1550
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,360
anyway, like.
I'm but see and but send so that

1551
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:46,400
also goes back to what Liz was
saying 41 decisions meal prep

1552
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,360
like you have 1020 and 10.
So if you meal prepped on a

1553
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:54,840
Sunday and took and took
something every like you don't

1554
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:56,920
have a Costco in Pontiac only
you probably have to drive to

1555
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,120
Chicago.
No, but we could get Mama Kay to

1556
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,600
pick me up some stuff.
Oh no, not not a rotisserie

1557
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:02,880
chicken.
But you, but you know what I'm

1558
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,280
saying?
So, so I'm going to, I'm going

1559
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,280
to challenge, I'm going to
challenge you when you come back

1560
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,120
from your vacation, your
birthday vacation, whatever, how

1561
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:13,280
long that is, I want you to meal
prep for a week at work.

1562
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:17,280
All right, and, and cut out the
bad starch stuff, cut out the

1563
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:18,880
breads and just see the
difference.

1564
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,360
All right, for those for those
four days because you only work

1565
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,440
four days a week.
So see the difference of those

1566
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:26,320
four days as opposed to?
That first Monday through

1567
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,120
Thursday going back, I will do
that.

1568
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,360
Because I would be interested to
see how you feel when we talk

1569
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:35,280
that Friday morning on the show
before we go live to see what

1570
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,040
that impact had on you for that
week.

1571
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,040
Because it'll happen that
quickly, won't it, Liz?

1572
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:41,560
It will.
It's like, and that's what's

1573
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,760
really cool, you know, like if
you give your body just a

1574
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,160
little, it's kind of like people
that start working out, you give

1575
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,960
them just a little bit and
they're like, I feel really good

1576
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,200
today.
Well, here's where I would apply

1577
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:52,720
it.
I used to give lessons when I

1578
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,640
was out in Arizona.
I had quite a few students a

1579
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,920
month.
I would all, I would make this,

1580
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:01,600
yeah, I'm a guitarist.
So to give back and to help me

1581
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,720
learn, I would teach.
You know, they always say those

1582
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:06,840
who can't do teach.
That's not true, you know?

1583
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:10,680
Yeah, that's a stupid saying.
But anyway, I learned more from

1584
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,280
my students than I taught them.
But we had one agreement.

1585
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,480
If you don't do what I teach you
this week, we're going to learn

1586
01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:18,520
the same thing next week, Right?
Yeah.

1587
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,000
Because what you've been saying
about working out and what Chris

1588
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,280
has been saying about working
out for this whole time we've

1589
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,800
been talking is if you're not
pushing yourself to the next

1590
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:28,680
level, there's no moving
forward.

1591
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,640
Right.
The same thing applies to

1592
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,400
playing playing an instrument.
I just got in a conversation

1593
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:37,560
about this at work today.
It's more physical than it is

1594
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:39,440
mental, right?
It's a given you have to know

1595
01:12:39,440 --> 01:12:43,520
how to play, but then you have
to be in the tip top shape to

1596
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,240
get on a stage and do it to
perfection, right?

1597
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:48,960
That's a whole nother level.
You have to physically be in

1598
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:50,800
shape to do that to to a certain
level.

1599
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,160
If you're a guitar player, your
dexterity and your stamina has

1600
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:55,560
to be in your fingers, in your
hands.

1601
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,080
You can't get tired, right?
Sorry guys, I can't play the

1602
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,720
last three songs because my
hands are tired, right?

1603
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:03,720
Chris would be like suck it up
buddy.

1604
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:06,840
And if you really think about
it, like we're set up, we have

1605
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,600
these like we're this amazing
species, you know what I mean?

1606
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,720
And we can do so much, but you
know, we're constantly, we're in

1607
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,240
this weird thing where we're
constantly fighting homeostasis,

1608
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,720
right?
Like, and we're set up now that

1609
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,480
the world is so easy, right?
Like life is so easy.

1610
01:13:20,480 --> 01:13:23,640
And it makes it more, we have,
we're less tolerant to things.

1611
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,320
Don't you notice that?
We're like, yeah, like, like

1612
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,720
when my Internet goes out and
I'm like, this is bullshit, you

1613
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:29,520
know?
And I'm like, really?

1614
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,440
This is the worst thing that's
happening to me right now,

1615
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:34,720
right?
There's somebody starving

1616
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,960
somewhere in the world, they
want a glass of water, right?

1617
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,480
And my Internet doesn't work.
I think the same thing, but I

1618
01:13:39,480 --> 01:13:41,720
instantly get angry just like
everybody else.

1619
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,360
Yeah, and I think the more that
you can work with, you know,

1620
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,560
whether it's we're talking about
nutrition or working out or

1621
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,160
whatever, it is like something
that's helping you with your

1622
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:52,280
stress and how you manage and
like just pushing your brain

1623
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,440
forward and like learning and
all that stuff.

1624
01:13:54,440 --> 01:13:58,000
It just, it puts you more flow
and it makes, it makes you more

1625
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,080
tolerant to things, which I
think that's like what, you

1626
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:03,080
know, you live a better life
when you're more tolerant and

1627
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,560
you're, you're less resistant to
all of the stuff that can suck

1628
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:09,480
you in, you know?
Yeah, I think most people would

1629
01:14:09,480 --> 01:14:12,440
describe me as you.
You got to screw up pretty bad

1630
01:14:12,440 --> 01:14:14,280
before I'm going to call you out
on it, right?

1631
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,320
Like a lot of times I'll just
let you fail just because I

1632
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:18,840
don't want to get involved,
right?

1633
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,040
And you think you're right.
I'm going to help anybody that

1634
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,880
wants to help themselves.
And if you're, if you're coming

1635
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,800
at me and saying what I'm saying
is wrong, peace, man, You're

1636
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:29,800
right 100%.
And then that same person will

1637
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,760
come back and have to eat crow.
You know what?

1638
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:38,000
You were right.
So the the picture on the Liz

1639
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:41,960
Liz Rodriguez coaching.com.
See how I Segway back there and

1640
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:43,840
you have, I'm assuming this is
your husband.

1641
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,360
He's he's saying goodbye to
burpees and jump squats and he's

1642
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,560
doing the reverse side plank
type thing.

1643
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:52,840
Oh no, that's me.
Oh, they.

1644
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,440
No, no, it's shirtless.
Is that you?

1645
01:14:55,440 --> 01:14:58,760
I'm like.
Which picture is it on the

1646
01:14:58,760 --> 01:14:59,920
website?
Well, if it's, if it's.

1647
01:14:59,960 --> 01:15:01,680
If it's you, it looks like
you're topless.

1648
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:06,680
Better get that off the website.
I'm like which picture is it?

1649
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:08,880
It's under.
It's under the home section.

1650
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:10,320
You got the.
It's not all about broccoli and

1651
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:11,760
chicken every day.
Then you have say goodbye to

1652
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,720
burpees and jump squats.
Yeah.

1653
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,000
And I mean, I guess it could be
you and you could just be

1654
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,520
wearing something that is very
similar to your skin tone.

1655
01:15:19,480 --> 01:15:24,440
Yeah, yeah, that's definitely
like I'm in like a yeah.

1656
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,840
OK, wow, yeah, you are ripped.
I can see where the muscle is

1657
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:30,280
now.
Right on.

1658
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:32,560
I'm like, because I'm trying to
think, I'm like, you know what

1659
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:34,920
we didn't do?
I had thought about doing some

1660
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,320
pictures on the website with me
and him, and then he was just

1661
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,520
like, you know what he's like.
I think you should just have it

1662
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,480
all.
Just have it all you.

1663
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,720
And so that's that's what I did.
All this is on the.

1664
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,480
Website, even the silly ones if
you go to the bottom and you see

1665
01:15:48,480 --> 01:15:50,880
some pictures like those are
nature pictures and stuff that's

1666
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,720
like from when we travel there's
one with cows in it like we were

1667
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,160
in Iowa.
We passed this like big thing of

1668
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:58,640
water and there's all these cows
sitting in the water.

1669
01:15:58,920 --> 01:15:59,960
It was so cute.
That's.

1670
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:02,560
Awesome.
Right now.

1671
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:04,400
No, I I see that one now, too.
With the cows.

1672
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:06,480
Yeah, I see it.
It's that's next to the

1673
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:08,800
paragraph of why choose me as
your Women's Health coach?

1674
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,760
But yeah, I just, I meant to ask
you that earlier, but I wanted

1675
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,600
to circle back around to your
reason you're here is to promote

1676
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,800
your, your business and your
brand and get the world out

1677
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,880
there.
And and she has a video that

1678
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,040
pops up that I haven't watched
it because we're live on the

1679
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,600
Chris and Mike show, but it says
ready to feel strong and you can

1680
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,760
watch this 10 minute free master
class now, now.

1681
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,200
But the real truth about why
your workouts aren't working

1682
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:34,720
anymore?
You got it.

1683
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:39,160
That's awesome go ahead I'm all
about like putting putting good

1684
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,120
info out there.
I think especially for

1685
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,840
regardless men, women, I think
just in general with fitness,

1686
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:48,320
it's like we just want to make
sure that we're putting good

1687
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,280
information out there.
We wanted we want people to know

1688
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:51,800
what they should and should not
be doing.

1689
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,600
That's really the bottom line.
You know what I mean because

1690
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:57,680
those of us that have been doing
it forever like I don't have 5

1691
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,960
million followers or anything
like that right like I'm just

1692
01:16:59,960 --> 01:17:01,680
doing my thing.
I got my little business.

1693
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:04,920
So you do, you put out the
things out there that you're

1694
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:07,840
hoping that people will see
because it's probably going to

1695
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,360
be more helpful than the number
one person on Instagram that

1696
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,400
walks around on high heels while
she squats, you know?

1697
01:17:13,440 --> 01:17:15,600
What I'm saying it's.
Just take this easier.

1698
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:20,240
So if you squat in platform
heels, it's taking the ankle

1699
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:21,440
mobility out.
That's all it's doing.

1700
01:17:21,440 --> 01:17:23,840
Right.
It's just, yeah, it's stupid.

1701
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,840
I I I actually sent stuff to
Nate because there there was

1702
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,320
Nate Palmer was on, you know,
before we met you.

1703
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:31,920
He's been on a few times.
He's great.

1704
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:33,320
We should have you both on.
That would be a fun

1705
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:35,760
conversation.
Get the male and female coaching

1706
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,520
version from things.
We did that with him.

1707
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:39,160
Peter Horror.
Yeah, right.

1708
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,240
But he had I had there's
something that popped up on on

1709
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:46,440
Instagram like the 10 things
like misrep things you shouldn't

1710
01:17:46,440 --> 01:17:48,720
do when you work out.
And I so I screenshot I'm like,

1711
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,400
dude, is this real?
Three out of the ten were real.

1712
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:56,880
So the reason why I bring that
up, boys and girls, find a coach

1713
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:58,600
that knows what the hell they're
doing.

1714
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:02,280
If you're looking to change your
lifestyle and become more fit,

1715
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:05,720
more healthy and more active,
find someone like Liz that knows

1716
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:07,840
what the hell she's talking
about because she's spent an

1717
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:12,360
entire lifetime being an athlete
and working out. 25 years that

1718
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:13,640
she's been working out, lifting
weights.

1719
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:17,160
You want someone that that knows
what they're talking about, but

1720
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:19,560
they can also back it up.
It drove me nuts.

1721
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:21,440
Some of the coaches at Orange
Cereal, when I first started,

1722
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:25,200
they weren't in shape.
Jelly rolls and man boobs.

1723
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,560
It's like you're going to train
me but you're not in shape.

1724
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,480
I don't respect you.
Like I want somebody that's been

1725
01:18:32,480 --> 01:18:34,120
there, done that.
It's like we talked when we were

1726
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,280
talking with Justin the, the,
the £600 weight loss guy.

1727
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:41,000
If someone's insanely obese and
they need a coach, are you going

1728
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,720
to go to Liz or are you going to
go to somebody like Justin who's

1729
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,720
dropped £600?
Once you get down to normal

1730
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:50,120
weight loss then you go to Liz
to fine tune everything and keep

1731
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,320
your life on track because we
all know like you on your

1732
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,800
website fads, quick fixes don't
work you.

1733
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:57,080
Have to know what your goals
are.

1734
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:58,520
You have to know what your goals
are.

1735
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,800
And I think what's great is
that, you know, and that's

1736
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:03,200
what's been the great thing all
the years of managing is that I

1737
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,320
watched the industry evolve
where it was because you know

1738
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,720
what, when I started like back
now, like it was so long ago,

1739
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:14,200
2005, 9 times out of ten former
athletes, people in like super

1740
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,680
big shape, everybody had an
exercise science degree.

1741
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,240
It's not like that anymore.
You have more people that are

1742
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:21,360
second careers.
They went through a big weight

1743
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,160
loss.
Maybe they have different

1744
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,800
autoimmune issues, whatever.
It is like, all of a sudden, I,

1745
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,120
you know, you looked at my team
by the time I like left the

1746
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:32,480
industry and it was much more
different personalities,

1747
01:19:32,480 --> 01:19:34,560
different backgrounds, which I
think is great because it's

1748
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,800
going to attract different
people into the clubs and

1749
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:38,960
they're going to feel more
comfortable.

1750
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:41,560
Like, no offense, there's women
that were like, yeah, oh, you're

1751
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:43,320
a former athlete, never had a
weight problem.

1752
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:44,440
I don't want to work with you
now.

1753
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,120
That's cool.
Let's find you someone that you

1754
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,000
feel like you can connect with,
Right?

1755
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:51,800
Right.
Yeah, and that's yeah, but

1756
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,480
that's the same thing with when
I first started Orange there,

1757
01:19:54,480 --> 01:19:56,080
there were trainers there that
were not in shape.

1758
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:59,120
And it's kind of like, OK, we
had this guy Thunder, big black

1759
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,640
man, just brick house and in
shape.

1760
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:05,360
I would respect more of what he
told me then Trainer B, which

1761
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:06,840
I'm not going to drop a name
because that would be rude.

1762
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:11,000
That wasn't in shape because
obviously Thunder lived it.

1763
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:14,920
He he lived that lifestyle.
He, he, he practiced what he

1764
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:18,600
preached, right.
So I can see that and I've, I've

1765
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:20,640
in my world selling houses.
That's my real gig.

1766
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,400
There's people I don't jive with
from a personality standpoint,

1767
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:26,720
it's OK, OK, let's you know,
I'll refer you to woman realtor

1768
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,360
if you were comfortable with,
I'm fine with that.

1769
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,880
I just the end game is you get
what you want out of it.

1770
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,720
You know, no harm, no foul.
It doesn't happen very often,

1771
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,480
but it happens.
So I like the fact that you have

1772
01:20:35,480 --> 01:20:38,480
that mindset too, that if if you
know somebody's like, oh, you're

1773
01:20:38,480 --> 01:20:39,960
an athlete, I've never been like
you.

1774
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,240
OK.
As long as you're still on the

1775
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,040
path to get healthy, that's all
that matters.

1776
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:45,800
How you choose to get there is
up to you.

1777
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:48,720
So that's cool though.
I like it.

1778
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:50,960
I like it.
Cool.

1779
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:53,240
Good conversation list.
Anything you want to say before

1780
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,440
we we wrap up the show.
And and you know, again, Liz

1781
01:20:56,440 --> 01:20:59,720
Rodriguez, coaching.com is your
website where they can find you.

1782
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:01,360
Yeah, on.
Facebook.

1783
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,360
But you know, anything else you
want to share with us?

1784
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:05,160
You want to get out there to the
world.

1785
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,760
Yeah, I think, you know, fitness
is for everybody.

1786
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:12,160
So find a way that find a way to
get started and you know,

1787
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:14,640
whether it's myself or someone
else, there's so much info out

1788
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,760
there.
Make sure that you know, you're

1789
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:18,840
you're finding someone that you
could work with that you can ask

1790
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,360
some questions.
It's like anything else.

1791
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,040
I have a financial advisor,
right?

1792
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,120
Like I have my business coach
that helps me with stuff.

1793
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:26,800
There's a reason why there's
experts in different fields.

1794
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:30,280
And don't don't be nervous or
afraid of like finding someone

1795
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:31,320
that's going to help you with
your life.

1796
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:32,440
I.
Always call them my people.

1797
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:34,880
Yeah, you got you.
Have my people everywhere.

1798
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:37,000
I'm sorry if you're not my
people, right?

1799
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:38,640
Don't take offense to it.
You're just.

1800
01:21:39,480 --> 01:21:41,800
Yeah, because my goal is to get
offended.

1801
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,280
It's like nothing when I need my
car fixed.

1802
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:46,720
Don't get mad because you think
you can do better than my guy.

1803
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:48,960
My guy never lets me down, you
know right?

1804
01:21:49,440 --> 01:21:51,320
If my guy does, you might be my
next guy.

1805
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,000
It's so Midwest.
We do have our people and we're

1806
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,000
so loyal.
It's like once you're on our

1807
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:57,440
good side, man, everything is
good.

1808
01:21:57,560 --> 01:21:59,200
I'm going to send.
You 17?

1809
01:21:59,480 --> 01:22:01,520
It's not just Midwest though.
I've been here since I was three

1810
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,240
years old and I'm that way.
I have my my insane home

1811
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,880
inspector, my same 2 lenders, my
same title company.

1812
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,120
I've had them for years.
I just work with the core people

1813
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,560
because you don't have to
micromanage your people.

1814
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:13,480
You just you trust them to do
their job.

1815
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:18,320
And it takes all the stress off
of us as as the person that's

1816
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,120
utilizing that service because
we know at the end of the day,

1817
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:24,040
Mike knows he I got his back and
vice versa.

1818
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,120
And that's what you want.
So absolutely.

1819
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:31,320
Liz Rodriguez coaching formal
collegiate Division One athlete.

1820
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:33,480
She's been working out for 25
plus years.

1821
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:37,960
Liz Rodriguez coaching.com.
It's kind of a niche market

1822
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:38,920
right now.
Is that what is that

1823
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,920
perimenopause?
Yeah, perimenopause, former

1824
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:43,880
athletes in their in their late
30s forties.

1825
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,000
I work with, you know, a lot of
high achieving women too.

1826
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:47,960
But I really, I love working
with former athletes.

1827
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:49,600
We're a different breed, you
know?

1828
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:51,880
Because you have the same
mindset, you got that tunnel

1829
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:53,480
vision.
Yeah, we do.

1830
01:22:53,480 --> 01:22:55,840
Which?
Which is awesome.

1831
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:57,560
And you got a tunnel in
different ways.

1832
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,640
Yes, yes, So thank you so much
for coming on the show.

1833
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:03,720
I'm glad we can finally get this
back happening because we did.

1834
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:05,320
We did try to have you on
before, and, you know,

1835
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:08,040
technology sucked that day, but
now you're, you're rocking.

1836
01:23:10,440 --> 01:23:12,320
Yeah.
So you've, you've watched her.

1837
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:13,120
We want to have.
We'll have.

1838
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:14,720
We'll figure out a way to get
you back on one.

1839
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:15,920
Nate.
I'm sure Nate will be game

1840
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:17,400
because Nate loves being on the
show.

1841
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,240
And I'm sure you've watched this
enough that, hey, you know, if

1842
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:23,080
you're having a bad day, don't
let the bad days win.

1843
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:25,200
Don't leave a hole in somebody
else's heart because you decided

1844
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,480
to take your own wife.
Somebody will miss you.

1845
01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:28,760
Somebody does love you.
Reach out.

1846
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:30,480
Somebody wants to hear you won't
hear your voice.

1847
01:23:30,480 --> 01:23:34,400
They want to talk to you,
journal it, skull screaming your

1848
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,520
pillow, go meditate for 20
minutes.

1849
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:39,360
What have you got to do to kind
of bring yourself down and get,

1850
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,440
you know, an even an even vibe
when you wake up tomorrow?

1851
01:23:42,440 --> 01:23:44,920
It's going to be a better day
and it'll be better day because

1852
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:48,080
you're here still with us.
So with that being said, I'm

1853
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:48,880
Chris.
He's Mike.

1854
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,360
That is Lid Rodrique.

01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:06,120
Talk to you.

Go insane.
Feel the teachers.

1859
01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:14,640
Focus your light on your
journey.

1860
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:24,830
Feel the trail behind your eyes.
Feel the show that needs your

1861
01:24:24,870 --> 01:24:31,510
turn.
Take a moment.

1862
01:24:32,310 --> 01:24:35,510
Look.
Until you see it, put the bail

1863
01:24:35,630 --> 01:24:37,390
into your balls.
We.

Now you're coming.
Come down here.

1865
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,440
You haven't bounced out in the

to keep our soul in every man.
