Most people are not walking around in a body that they genuinely love because they aren't willing to do what it takes long enough to get that goal.
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.839
Dude, you're so close to having a breakthrough, but you just never give it enough time.
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:19.199
It's not about being great, it's just being good enough long enough to let that stuff compound it.
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:20.879
Welcome back to Mojo ⁇ Co.
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:21.359
Podcast.
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:22.399
I'm Katie Fleece.
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:23.600
And I'm Dustin Fleece.
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.039
People reach this stage of life and start believing their best years are somehow behind it.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.879
And we don't believe that at all.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.320
It's about becoming the strongest, healthiest, most competent version of who you are now.
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:39.200
Because the goal isn't about just adding more years to your life, it's about adding life to those years.
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:40.399
Because you're not done yet.
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:41.840
Welcome to Mojo and Co.
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:43.039
Now let's dive in.
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.280
Welcome back to Mojo and Co.
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:46.399
Podcast.
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.119
Congratulations are in order for this guy.
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:50.000
Yeah, it's it.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:50.719
Right here.
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.079
Is it my birthday?
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:53.840
It's like coming up, but not yet.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.039
It is coming up.
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.399
Actually, by the time this episode releases, will you be another year older older?
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:01.439
Pretty close.
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:02.399
I don't know.
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.200
Yeah, I think.
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:09.840
Anyways, what I was saying is congratulations are in order for this guy because he's completed.
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.959
How many marathons have you telling?
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:15.120
We're gonna go here.
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.439
Is this what this episode's gonna be about?
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:18.879
Well, it's leading into it.
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:19.439
Oh, okay.
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.840
How many marathons have you completed this year, babe?
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.159
I have completed 52 marathons this year.
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:26.799
I wonder how many I've completed.
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:28.159
Probably more.
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:28.799
You think?
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:29.599
Close.
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.239
Well, I don't know.
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.239
Probably like, where is this going?
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:32.799
Yeah.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:34.799
I didn't run a single one.
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.719
No, we didn't run a single marathon.
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.840
But here's what random fact that he told me this morning on our car ride.
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:42.480
I don't even know.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.159
I didn't know this was gonna be a topic here.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:44.799
So I'm gonna go.
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:45.680
Oh, I know where we were going.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:46.959
We were going to the Kohl's.
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.719
Yeah, why to get a belt for a wedding?
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:49.680
We gotta get a belt.
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.640
So we've done a whole episode on Kohl's before.
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:58.239
Well, not a whole episode, but you know how much we despise Kohl's, and we've been to Kohl's like twice this past week.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:03.760
But we got a wedding tomorrow to go to, and he needed a belt, so yeah, he went and got a Kohl's special.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:17.199
Anyways, but on the way to Kohl's, he was telling me how many marathons that he's completed just because he's just been consistent with steps, walk 10, walk 12,000 steps a day.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.400
But no, I started this.
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.199
I I actually researched this like back in January, and I saw like the coolest stat.
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.520
It was like how many steps you walk in a day, and then like how many marathons you complete in a year.
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.000
So I was like, well, hell, I'm gonna, that's the coolest.
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:32.400
That's cool.
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.280
So I was like, I'm gonna start, you know, keeping track of that.
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.520
So do you want my I got some stats pulled up?
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:38.159
Okay, tell me.
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:51.680
So yeah, since January 1st through, and this is October 1st, which is a you know where we're at now, but over uh I've done over 3,288,000 steps, which is averaging out at around around 12,000 steps per day.
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:57.360
That's 1,370 miles that I've completed, which is the equivalent of uh 52 marathons.
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:22.240
So my goal is to keep this pace up, which will put me at uh 4,380,000 steps, which is going to be about 1,825,000 miles or 1,825 miles, uh, which will be about 70 marathons by the end of the year if I do this until January 1st, which is like walking from New York City to Phoenix in a in a year, if you want to.
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.280
Oh, wait, I was thinking New York City to Phoenix is a marathon.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.039
That's no, that's the but but the 1825 miles is the equivalent of walking from New York City to Phoenix.
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:40.560
And uh but yeah, and it was all about like how much more powerful like consistency is versus intensity.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:41.039
Right.
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.280
Because if you actually think about this, like which one sounds more impressive?
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:52.080
It's like I I completed a marathon this year or I completed 70 marathons this year.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.520
That is crazy to think about when you put it that way.
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:03.199
Yeah, and if you think too, like wait, and then again, what I love about it is like, well, which one was better for your health?
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:03.840
Right.
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:09.120
Which which one is more like which one could you see you're doing yourself doing consistently?
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:09.840
Yeah, right?
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.759
Which one can you do for the next 10, 20, 30 years?
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:22.959
Yeah, run a marathon every year or complete or walk 70 marathons in a year just by doing a very simple task.
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:24.560
Like walking.
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:26.959
Like walking, that would be it.
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.399
Yeah, that's where the steps come.
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.639
I didn't run them, I didn't jog them, I didn't uh um karaoke.
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:33.279
Karaoke?
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.040
Is that or no karaoke?
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:41.040
I didn't uh didn't karaoke skip or do you like butt kicks or flutter kicks or bear crawls?
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.920
If you got a bad didn't do a single fucking burpee either.
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:44.399
Never will.
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.000
No, fall falling down and getting up.
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:48.319
Sorry.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.000
That would be not that great of an exercise.
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.720
If you did 52 marathons of burpees, yeah, I won't be.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.800
That's not a stat that I'm actually seeing.
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.680
I don't have any desire to to accomplish that.
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.800
Well, I mean, if somebody opened my eyes and like, like, when you fall down and get up, like, what does that really do for your body?
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.959
I was like, eh, you put it that way.
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:08.079
Yeah, great.
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:09.839
When you put it that way, it's not a lot.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.560
It it does make you tired wearing you out, but like, is that the goal?
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:13.680
Is the goal to be really, really tired?
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.199
Right, is the goal to be tired?
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.800
Yeah, so that's good.
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:18.399
Well, but you know what though?
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.360
I will say this.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:30.800
I think some people think that if they aren't completely exhausted or completely wiped out or sweating to death in their workout, then it wasn't a good workout, though.
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:32.800
We've seen that time and time again.
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:33.279
Yeah.
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:42.639
And I learned to throw that out the window a long time ago because it's not necessarily like the goal isn't to be completely exhausted after a workout.
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.399
It's like, did you do, you know, did you work yourself?
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.600
Was it efficient?
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:48.000
Right.
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:48.399
Yeah.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:48.879
Yeah.
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:56.079
And that's where this whole thing concept came in when I was reading about it, was more of like how consistency will always trump intensity.
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:56.560
Yes.
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:57.120
Always.
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:57.759
Always.
00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:58.240
Right.
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:29.759
And if you think about that, and if you you think about all the people that struggle with health and fitness and nutrition in it, and they've tried, you know, multiple times in their life, and it generally will come down because their plan of attack is always very, very, very high on tens intensity, yeah, meaning it's some super intense, crazy restrictive nutrition, some super intense, you know, workout plan, you know, like we're gonna do 75 hard again.
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:30.639
It's like, okay, cool.
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.319
Like, but again, from the third time.
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:39.839
Yeah, it's that like if you have to ask yourself those kind of questions, like, can I see myself doing this long term?
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.240
If the answer is no, then I can tell your plan of attack is it does, it sucks.
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.079
Like, and it's never going to be consistent.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.040
And that's why you see so many people like starting and stopping and starting and stopping.
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:57.920
And then they've and then after the amount of times that that happens to them, then they just now the the belief in their mind is like, well, I'm just one of those people that I can't do it.
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.600
I don't have the discipline, nothing never works for me.
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:00.639
It's not meant for me.
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:01.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.480
It doesn't work for me.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:02.879
Yeah.
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:03.759
So I love that.
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.079
And I I talked like I had a buddy that I told that too.
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.079
He was what he wanted me to do a high rocks competition.
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.199
I was like, nope, sorry.
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:10.079
He's like, Oh, why not?
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.639
Because that's just not my yeah, it's not my thing.
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:13.920
Again, that is cool if it is.
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:18.000
That's an intense, not it's a very intense thing that I know I will not be consistent.
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.839
And then I started weighing my okay options here, the pros and cons here.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.240
And I was like, okay, like what would be better for me, right?
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.279
It's like cool.
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.600
And then I then I get kind of told him, like, well, look, bro, I've already ran, I've already completed 52 marathons this year, man.
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:30.720
Like, I can't do a high rocks.
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.519
On top of that, I ain't got time for that.
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:35.600
Yeah, he was like, What?
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.480
And then I kind of told him the analogy was like, Oh, never really thought about that.
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.519
That was so cool though.
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:50.959
Well, I started doing that with my clients because if you're walking like around around 10,000 steps a day, like it takes you about four or five days to actually complete a full marathon just by being consistent with those steps.
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.000
So I'll shoot them a little.
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.079
I didn't know you were a marathon runner.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.160
Or didn't know you, I didn't know you could do a marathon or something.
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:56.959
Like, what are you talking about?
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.800
It's like, oh man, you you hit a marathon this week.
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.720
Yeah, like look, here's here's your steps, here's how much it takes, here's how many miles you've gone.
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.639
That is a it's a marathon, bro.
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:05.839
You you did a marathon this week.
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:06.240
Congrats.
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.160
And they and they love that stuff, you know.
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:08.560
Yeah.
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.759
Well, you know what though, speaking of clients, so we have this thing.
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.519
I was actually doing this the other day.
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:30.959
Like I I had a conversation with a lot of my clients, a very similar conversation with a lot of my clients this week about, you know, when I'm looking at their dashboard and I'm looking at like the overall compliance for the week or the month or the last three months or the year, whatever it may be.
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:36.799
And, you know, we can tell, like we see these green little check marks when they've hit their targets, right?
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.639
Or we see the red X's when they haven't hit their targets.
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:57.679
And as I'm going through clients' dashboards and I'm going over it with them, you know, there was not a single client that actually had green check marks across nutrition, fitness, steps, um, you know, all the other things that I've got them do.
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.200
Not a single one had a green check mark for every single day.
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:01.919
Not one.
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:10.080
But it's I always come back to like, well, first of all, number one, I'm not asking you to be perfect because that's life.
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.279
Like, we you gotta live life, you know, and there are gonna be days where it's just simply impossible, you know.
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:19.840
But what we're looking for is more green check marks than red X's.
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:25.840
Yeah, you know, and so when you're looking at your week as a whole, it's like, okay, did majority votes win, right?
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.120
Just like in an election.
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.679
So are there more green check marks than there are red X's?
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.039
And if the answer is yes, then it's like, okay, and you know what?
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.919
You're set up on the right path to actually achieve what you say you want to achieve.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:40.240
Yeah.
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:54.960
If it's opposite, you know, where there's more red X's than there are green check marks, well, it's like, okay, well, look at that data, and this is why your progress is stalled, or this is why you aren't losing the weight.
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.399
You know, you've got it's like a five to two ratio.
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:05.440
You got five days where there's more red X's than green check marks, and then you've got two days that were pretty solid.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.039
Well, if you do the math, it's it's science, right?
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.840
That that is not going to get you closer to the goal.
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:18.720
So when you can kind of put it in perspective of like that, like, okay, if you just take it like a week at a time, you got seven days in a week.
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:23.600
Okay, can you be consistent four out of those seven days?
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.399
Why four?
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.279
Because four is more than 50%.
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:47.840
You know, obviously we want you consistent for more than just four days, but if you're just taking it a week at a time, and if you can consistently be on target on, you know, most of those things for four out of the seven days, then you are on track to achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve.
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:57.200
Now, how quickly you get there also is determined by how long you can remain consistent at those things, you know.
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:57.759
Yeah.
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.600
And that's the part that nobody really likes to hear.
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.159
Yeah.
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.519
That's the hard part.
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:04.000
Yeah.
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.919
A lot of people think consistency means doing things perfectly.
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.679
And the minute that you don't do it perfect, uh-oh.
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.200
All of a sudden now I'm not consistent because I didn't do it perfectly.
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:23.279
And really, it's just consistency is just like really just getting it's your ability to get back to the behavior, right?
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:30.720
Quick enough to where to where the repetitions, the things you're doing will actually compound and they'll start to stack up, right?
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:36.639
It's not about being great, it's just being good enough long enough to let that stuff compound.
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.799
It's like if you're in, you know, like thinking about investing money and things of that nature, it's no different.
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:47.120
Like just because you invested$50 today, right, doesn't mean you're a freaking wealthy millionaire overnight, right?
00:11:47.519 --> 00:12:02.559
But if you do if you literally do that over time$50 every day, every single day for 365 days in the year, and you did that for multiple years in a row, that is the massive action, right?
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.600
That is the compounding energy, and it's no different than this.
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.120
Yep, everything compounds.
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.080
And but you know, if you think about that too, I I would laugh at this.
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:16.000
And one of the things I kind of thought was funny because it was like, you know, and we think, and I'm gonna go back to the marathon.
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:29.120
Number one, running a marathon and training for a marathon and completing a marathon is a level of commitment and fitness, and like that is I'm not downplaying a marathon that is hard, that is challenging, that is difficult.
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.279
Kudos to you if you completed one, right?
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:38.159
I'm not I'm not cracking on it, but it is like it's funny though, because it's like, you know, we love to celebrate.
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:50.399
Like, think about like the those big like New York City, I think, you know, marathon, Boston, like how many people sit at the finish line just to cheer on the accomplishment of these people for this one major massive event.
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:51.600
It's that one accompany.
00:12:51.840 --> 00:13:00.159
But you know, nobody's standing at the edge of my driveway clapping for me every single day when I knock my my little cum my 12,000 steps out, right?
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:00.960
When I go for a walk.
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:08.799
We're not we don't celebrate the little small, you know, habits and wins that were going to compound.
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.120
We always celebrate, it's like the transformation, right?
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:19.919
Of somebody that loses, you know, 40, 50 pounds, changes your life, and we see the before and afters in a massive, and we we applaud and we're like, oh my god, that is incredible.
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.840
But nobody was there when you were doing the little things and keeping the promise to yourself.
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.159
You were in the parking lot of the gym negotiating with yourself whether or not you should go home.
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:29.200
Yeah, you know what I mean?
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.799
And that's the whole point of it, like what we were saying earlier.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:47.200
Like that's the if if you're I would say if your plan requires you to be like motivated, like like you have to be like just so motivated every single day for you to be successful at it, not happening.
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:48.799
It is a shitty plan.
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.919
I literally just talked about that on my podcast last week.
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:57.440
Like, yeah, we can all agree that motivation is unreliable.
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.399
Some days you're gonna have it, some days you aren't.
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.919
And quite honestly, especially lately, more days than not, you're not gonna have it.
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.480
I and I am speaking from personal experience.
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:14.480
You know, you are not going to wake up out of bed every morning like LFG.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:16.399
You know, it's just like it's not gonna happen.
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:17.919
But so many people wait for that.
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:23.440
Yeah, they wait for motivation to take action, and then they realize they're waiting for a long time.
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:32.720
Also, I want to say too, just to rewind back on what you were saying, is like this time of year we're getting, you know, ready to go through the holidays, right?
00:14:32.879 --> 00:15:02.159
This time of year is people are notorious starting in October to start just like thinking about throwing everything that they've done all year that they've worked so hard for all year, and just throwing it out the window because the holidays are coming up, and we'll say all start over in January, you know, because they had Halloween.
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.039
Because they enjoyed a Halloween party and had a couple margaritas, maybe more than they should have.
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:23.840
But it's like like you were saying, it's it's about your ability to have days like that, have days that aren't perfect, have the margarita, have the entire bag of Halloween candy that you said you weren't gonna have, and how quickly you can get back up and just go on about your day the very next day.
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:24.240
Yeah.
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.960
And I love like you've heard that simple like 80-20 rule, like people talk about 80-20.
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.639
There is true to that.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:31.759
Like you think about that.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.000
Yeah.
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:44.960
If you if 80% of your life and your and when it comes to this, like this part, like your health, your fitness, your wellness, like all the things that we preach about, and and the reason we're so hard about it is because we just see what kind of impact it has on people and everything that they do, right?
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:59.039
But that 80-20 rule, like you know, I like to live that 80-20 lifestyle, and that is a true little real thing, but not a lot of people can actually do it, commit to it, and stay to it because the 20% of the time, that's what like compounds and gets them off track.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:12.480
Because if you're 365 days a year and you're and you're dialed in and you're doing really well and you're consistent 80% of the time, that means there are 72 days out of that 365 where you're completely not on your game.
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:13.039
Yeah.
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:13.759
Right?
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.759
That is again three, two and a half months.
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.960
So, like, that's the thing I think a lot of people don't understand.
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.960
Like that will win.
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:24.399
8020 will win.
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:24.720
Yeah.
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:29.840
Because that is enough, like I said, but getting back to the behaviors that are going to actually stack up and win.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.000
Yeah.
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.720
I would say that people like more people are probably 20, 80.
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.120
Right.
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.159
Like, you know, and and there, and God love there.
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:42.559
Like, there's a man here in our community, and um, you know, I want to I want to reach out to him so bad.
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.639
I want to hug him, and I want to help him, and I want to like be like, bro, like let me, let me, let me help you.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.480
He loses the same 50, 60 pounds every year.
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.120
Every year.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:17:00.240
And it's just, I mean, it's like I hate it, and it's like you'll see, and he'll put a Facebook post out, and it's like him, like he just killed himself on the step, the step climber.
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.400
He's like, it was like 60 minutes on the step climber, and he's just dying lane's pulling.
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.000
It's like Which is awesome.
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:18.400
It is even more impressive, and what a lot of people it's the hardest part, like getting to the goal, losing the weight is one thing, but staying there is even more impressive.
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:30.319
And also, I think that's where the pressure of timelines, when we put timelines on a specific health and fitness goal, that's what throws people off track.
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:40.880
Because if you think about it, it's like how many times, women, I'm talking to you, have have you said, like, I'm gonna get in shape before my summer vacation.
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:41.839
And they do.
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.319
They lose the weight, they lose the 20 pounds.
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.960
Then the summer vacation happens, and then what happens?
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:52.559
They go right back, they revert back to the habits that got the 20 pounds on them.
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:59.200
They go right back to doing those same things, and then the next year rolls around and it's like, oh shit, uh, spring breaks, you know, rolling around.
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.359
Okay, we have 12 weeks till spring break.
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:06.960
All right, I'm gonna lose 20 pounds in 12 weeks, and then spring break comes, and then guess what happens?
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:13.599
Then they go right back to doing what they were doing before that made them gain that 20 pounds, and that is how the cycle just keeps going.
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.000
So I don't love timelines.
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:31.519
I mean, I'm all for a goal and and I get I I encourage goals, but I also try to teach my clients that like, look, this is a this is a life shift.
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:37.839
Like my goal is to not only help you get to your goal, but then teach you how to stay there.
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.440
Yeah, because if you can't stay there, what's the freaking point?
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:48.000
Well, in the roller coaster ride, is that is the most tremendous waste of time, energy, effort, money, no, no demand.
00:18:48.079 --> 00:19:03.359
Because what happens is it's like you lose the 30, you gain the 30, you lose the and if you're on this, but if you look and then and if you do that and you go over the course of five years, yes, you've accomplished some things, but if you really look back, you're you're you're actually when you're up and down so much, you're you're actually right where you started.
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.880
You're you're in that same plane.
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:07.519
Nothing has really changed at all, right?
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:21.839
But I think the reason why a lot of people like struggle with consistency is just because you don't, like I was saying, like compound the things that compound over time, like you work out one day, you don't come home and look in the mirror and you look different.
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:28.720
You eat perfectly for a day, and then the next morning you get on a scale, chances are the scale's not gonna move, probably could go up, right?
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:47.440
So it's like and that's so so like we are there the people are so quick because we're we just want that immediate feedback, we want that immediate win, and they're so quick to give up on something and say it doesn't work when the going gets tough, they just evaluate things way too quickly, yeah.
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:56.240
And it's like the analogy of like, you know, and I can't remember who said it, but it's probably Alex Ramosy because I'd probably listen and probably most of his stuff sticks in my brain.
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:02.799
But I think it was something of a matter of like people will like the analogy of digging up a seed to see if it's growing, right?
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:03.680
It's like you don't do that.
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:04.799
No, it's our pastor.
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.440
Oh, was it?
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:06.960
Okay, well, Aaron's awesome too.
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.680
So he's talking about growth happens in the dirt.
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:16.720
Yeah, but you put yeah, it's like, but you you plant that seed and then you don't sit there and dig it up and look at it and see if it's working and something.
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:22.160
No, you just you just keep putting the things you need to be doing, and then over time that thing, you know, obviously grows.
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:29.839
And I think but that is really what consist that's the biggest problem with consistency with for people is just that it's that it's generally that they don't see the immediate results.
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:32.640
So then they've come up to the conclusion, oh, this isn't working.
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:40.880
And a lot of times, like if you look at them and you're kind of watching things, you're like, dude, you're so close to having a breakthrough, but you just never give it enough time.
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:52.559
Yeah, and I we I have family members that I mean, I'm you know, it's got every machine, every videotape, every app, everything, everything you could possibly imagine.
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.839
And they'll tell you about it.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.319
Like, I'm starting this, I'm doing this, I'm doing that.
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.839
And then it's like three weeks later, ah, that didn't work.
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:01.279
I'm doing this now, I'm doing that.
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:13.359
Why most people are not walking around in a body that they genuinely love because they aren't willing to do what it takes long enough to get that goal.
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:22.559
And a lot of people underestimate how long it actually takes and how many consistent reps it actually takes.
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:30.960
And we've seen it, yeah, like you said, we we've seen all the time where people will quit before they're like so freaking.
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:41.200
Well, because it's not it's not the individual action that changes your life, it's the accumulation of those actions over time that actually change your life.
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:48.160
And to your point, this the whole point of this episode was you know, we started out with like saying how many marathons he completed.
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:50.799
By the way, I'm gonna figure out how many I've completed this year.
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:52.480
Um now it's a race.
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.240
Uh, but anyways, um the one that you didn't know you signed up for.
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:05.200
But the whole point of that was to To prove to you that it's those consistent little actions that add up over time.
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:07.200
Right.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.559
Instead of preparing for one big race, right?
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:21.039
It's it's the consistent little things, the little boring daily habits that you do that are going to eventually lead to the big result.
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:27.920
But you have to be willing, like I said, to do it long enough and consistently enough to actually get there.
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:49.519
And yeah, because my whole point was like if you think about those two things training hard and running and completing a marathon versus simply just walking and compounding enough mileage and step that you've done 70 marathons and you're which is more impressive, which is more sustainable, which can you see yourself doing long term?
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:50.000
Right.
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.680
And those are always the questions that you ask yourself about your plan.
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:57.920
If you want to be consistent, it's like, can you do it when you're not motivated?
00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:59.599
Can you do it when you're traveling?
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.640
Can you do it like consistency consistently?
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:05.119
Can you see yourself doing this consistently next year too?
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:05.359
Yeah.
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:20.960
Because if the answer is no to all those things, and that's why I say, and again, we we were part of some of the you know six-week challenges and we've done and we've seen this, you know, this and again, those things, what people don't understand, those things are meant to be like like steps, right?
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:21.759
Like steer step.
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.119
They're meant to like get you started and hopefully get you going.
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.559
But most people use them as like they're six weeks and I'm done.
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.920
There's a start line and a finish line.
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.119
Yeah, there is no consistency, has no finish line.
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.640
That's the beautiful thing about consistency.
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:36.799
It doesn't have a consistent, it doesn't have a finish line.
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:45.359
So some of those other things, when you when you set those, like you said, expectations and those finish lines, the moment you get to that finish line, it's like it's over, you have nowhere to go relax.
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.400
Instead of you set up like consistency is all about checkpoints, right?
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:48.799
Right.
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.599
Like, cool, I got to checkpoint A.
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:53.680
And we know that we don't stay here.
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.799
That's a checkpoint.
00:23:54.960 --> 00:24:00.079
We do, we, we, we celebrate it, the milestone, the checkpoint, but then we're on to the next, right?
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:01.920
And we're just can you just kind of keep down that path?
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:11.279
And if you're playing a game that's what they say, like an infinite game versus a finite game, meaning there's no beginning end, like it's just how long can I continue to do this?
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:19.119
And you will find the longer you continue to do something, like that's when those massive accomplishments happen and massive change happens.
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:25.759
It's not from that, you know, one workout or that one meal or that, you know, one supplement or whatever.
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:47.039
Consistency looks like, you know, doing those boring things every single day, and then taking a vacation and maybe not doing those things and taking a break, and then coming back from vacation and just getting right back to what you were doing before the vacation instead of like letting the vacation ruin your entire progress for the rest of the year, you know.
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:50.000
That's what people don't realize.
00:24:50.160 --> 00:25:01.599
Like that's why I personally hate timelines, you know, and and again, I'm all about goal setting, but I also always try to set that expectation of like, hey, yeah, like I love it.
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:28.160
I know you want to be 125 pounds by Halloween, amazing, but I want to do it in a way to where we're gonna, we're we're uh building that foundation to where we get you to that 125 by Halloween, and then you're not gonna go backwards and you're not gonna just go back to the you know 160 or whatever it was that you were like like again, like I was saying, it's one thing to get to the goal, but can you stay there?
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:37.680
And if not, then you either need to re-evaluate your plan or you need to reevaluate your goal, and you need to ask yourself, like, okay, do I really actually want that?
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:42.640
Yeah, you know, am I really willing to do what it takes to actually get me there?
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:48.400
Like, you know, I have this one girl that was in my DMs and she's you know sent me pictures of Kim Kardashian.
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:51.440
She's like, I really want to look like Kim Kardashian, you know, like body, right?
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.960
Like, don't we all, but but uh there's surgery for that.
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:00.240
But anyways, um and I'm like, okay, that's that's awesome, you know.
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:05.039
But are you willing to do what it takes to actually get you to look like Kim Kardashian?
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:10.960
You know, because it's not a that's not a six-month thing, it's not a one-year thing, it also depends on where you're starting from.
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.200
Yeah, it could be a decade thing.
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.680
Yeah, sorry, I'm just keeping it real.
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.240
Yeah, you know, yeah, truly.
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:18.960
Yeah.
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.319
So yeah, and I say all the time, like, you know, you got a goal, what is it?
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:24.079
Cool, we can get there.
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:25.200
How long?
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:26.160
That's gonna be up to you.
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:27.759
How long are you willing to keep going at it?
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:31.599
If it we'll get there, not if we're gonna get there, we will get there.
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:33.039
It's just like when are we gonna get there?
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:36.880
And are you gonna actually do what it yeah, and that's always up to the and that that's what I was saying.
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:45.200
Like, at the end of the day, like obviously I know I didn't, you know, go out and walk 1370 miles or complete 50 some modern marathon.
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:49.759
I I know I didn't physically go out and do that in one, but all I did was go for a walk.
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.039
Yeah, and then I did it again.
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.519
A daily and again, and again, and again.
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.440
And that's to me, is like that's what again, if you want the result, it's all it is.
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.240
It's just showing up and doing it again and again and again.
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:04.400
And if you have a bad day, cool.
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.359
Show up and you wash it and you go and you move on.
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:09.599
Yeah, and I think that's again with the coaching aspect.
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:10.960
I mean, we talk about all the time.
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.640
Like, a coach isn't really there to make sure you never have a bad day again the rest of your life.
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:15.839
That's not what it's all about.
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:18.000
It's to make sure that we don't compound it, right?
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:19.359
Yeah, you don't have multiple days.
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:24.559
Like you say, cool, man, you had a shitty day, you had a shitty week, we had a hey, we had a shitty month, but like, look, we're still here.
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:25.440
Let's regroup.
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:25.839
Let's go.
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:28.160
Game ain't over till it's over, baby.
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.119
Right?
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:29.680
All right.
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.839
Well, with that, all right, guys.
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:33.200
We will see you next time.
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.079
Peace.
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:09.599
Most people are not walking around in a body that they genuinely love because they aren't willing to do what it takes long enough to get that goal.
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.839
Dude, you're so close to having a breakthrough, but you just never give it enough time.
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:19.199
It's not about being great, it's just being good enough long enough to let that stuff compound it.
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:20.879
Welcome back to Mojo ⁇ Co.
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:21.359
Podcast.
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:22.399
I'm Katie Fleece.
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:23.600
And I'm Dustin Fleece.
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.039
People reach this stage of life and start believing their best years are somehow behind it.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.879
And we don't believe that at all.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.320
It's about becoming the strongest, healthiest, most competent version of who you are now.
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:39.200
Because the goal isn't about just adding more years to your life, it's about adding life to those years.
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:40.399
Because you're not done yet.
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:41.840
Welcome to Mojo and Co.
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:43.039
Now let's dive in.
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.280
Welcome back to Mojo and Co.
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:46.399
Podcast.
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.119
Congratulations are in order for this guy.
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:50.000
Yeah, it's it.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:50.719
Right here.
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.079
Is it my birthday?
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:53.840
It's like coming up, but not yet.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.039
It is coming up.
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.399
Actually, by the time this episode releases, will you be another year older older?
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:01.439
Pretty close.
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:02.399
I don't know.
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.200
Yeah, I think.
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:09.840
Anyways, what I was saying is congratulations are in order for this guy because he's completed.
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.959
How many marathons have you telling?
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:15.120
We're gonna go here.
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.439
Is this what this episode's gonna be about?
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:18.879
Well, it's leading into it.
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:19.439
Oh, okay.
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.840
How many marathons have you completed this year, babe?
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.159
I have completed 52 marathons this year.
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:26.799
I wonder how many I've completed.
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:28.159
Probably more.
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:28.799
You think?
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:29.599
Close.
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.239
Well, I don't know.
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.239
Probably like, where is this going?
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:32.799
Yeah.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:34.799
I didn't run a single one.
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.719
No, we didn't run a single marathon.
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.840
But here's what random fact that he told me this morning on our car ride.
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:42.480
I don't even know.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.159
I didn't know this was gonna be a topic here.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:44.799
So I'm gonna go.
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:45.680
Oh, I know where we were going.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:46.959
We were going to the Kohl's.
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.719
Yeah, why to get a belt for a wedding?
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:49.680
We gotta get a belt.
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.640
So we've done a whole episode on Kohl's before.
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:58.239
Well, not a whole episode, but you know how much we despise Kohl's, and we've been to Kohl's like twice this past week.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:03.760
But we got a wedding tomorrow to go to, and he needed a belt, so yeah, he went and got a Kohl's special.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:17.199
Anyways, but on the way to Kohl's, he was telling me how many marathons that he's completed just because he's just been consistent with steps, walk 10, walk 12,000 steps a day.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.400
But no, I started this.
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.199
I I actually researched this like back in January, and I saw like the coolest stat.
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.520
It was like how many steps you walk in a day, and then like how many marathons you complete in a year.
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.000
So I was like, well, hell, I'm gonna, that's the coolest.
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:32.400
That's cool.
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.280
So I was like, I'm gonna start, you know, keeping track of that.
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.520
So do you want my I got some stats pulled up?
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:38.159
Okay, tell me.
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:51.680
So yeah, since January 1st through, and this is October 1st, which is a you know where we're at now, but over uh I've done over 3,288,000 steps, which is averaging out at around around 12,000 steps per day.
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:57.360
That's 1,370 miles that I've completed, which is the equivalent of uh 52 marathons.
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:22.240
So my goal is to keep this pace up, which will put me at uh 4,380,000 steps, which is going to be about 1,825,000 miles or 1,825 miles, uh, which will be about 70 marathons by the end of the year if I do this until January 1st, which is like walking from New York City to Phoenix in a in a year, if you want to.
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.280
Oh, wait, I was thinking New York City to Phoenix is a marathon.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.039
That's no, that's the but but the 1825 miles is the equivalent of walking from New York City to Phoenix.
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:40.560
And uh but yeah, and it was all about like how much more powerful like consistency is versus intensity.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:41.039
Right.
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.280
Because if you actually think about this, like which one sounds more impressive?
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:52.080
It's like I I completed a marathon this year or I completed 70 marathons this year.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.520
That is crazy to think about when you put it that way.
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:03.199
Yeah, and if you think too, like wait, and then again, what I love about it is like, well, which one was better for your health?
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:03.840
Right.
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:09.120
Which which one is more like which one could you see you're doing yourself doing consistently?
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:09.840
Yeah, right?
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.759
Which one can you do for the next 10, 20, 30 years?
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:22.959
Yeah, run a marathon every year or complete or walk 70 marathons in a year just by doing a very simple task.
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:24.560
Like walking.
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:26.959
Like walking, that would be it.
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.399
Yeah, that's where the steps come.
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.639
I didn't run them, I didn't jog them, I didn't uh um karaoke.
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:33.279
Karaoke?
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.040
Is that or no karaoke?
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:41.040
I didn't uh didn't karaoke skip or do you like butt kicks or flutter kicks or bear crawls?
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.920
If you got a bad didn't do a single fucking burpee either.
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:44.399
Never will.
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.000
No, fall falling down and getting up.
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:48.319
Sorry.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.000
That would be not that great of an exercise.
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.720
If you did 52 marathons of burpees, yeah, I won't be.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.800
That's not a stat that I'm actually seeing.
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.680
I don't have any desire to to accomplish that.
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.800
Well, I mean, if somebody opened my eyes and like, like, when you fall down and get up, like, what does that really do for your body?
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.959
I was like, eh, you put it that way.
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:08.079
Yeah, great.
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:09.839
When you put it that way, it's not a lot.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.560
It it does make you tired wearing you out, but like, is that the goal?
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:13.680
Is the goal to be really, really tired?
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.199
Right, is the goal to be tired?
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.800
Yeah, so that's good.
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:18.399
Well, but you know what though?
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.360
I will say this.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:30.800
I think some people think that if they aren't completely exhausted or completely wiped out or sweating to death in their workout, then it wasn't a good workout, though.
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:32.800
We've seen that time and time again.
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:33.279
Yeah.
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:42.639
And I learned to throw that out the window a long time ago because it's not necessarily like the goal isn't to be completely exhausted after a workout.
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.399
It's like, did you do, you know, did you work yourself?
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.600
Was it efficient?
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:48.000
Right.
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:48.399
Yeah.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:48.879
Yeah.
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:56.079
And that's where this whole thing concept came in when I was reading about it, was more of like how consistency will always trump intensity.
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:56.560
Yes.
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:57.120
Always.
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:57.759
Always.
00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:58.240
Right.
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:29.759
And if you think about that, and if you you think about all the people that struggle with health and fitness and nutrition in it, and they've tried, you know, multiple times in their life, and it generally will come down because their plan of attack is always very, very, very high on tens intensity, yeah, meaning it's some super intense, crazy restrictive nutrition, some super intense, you know, workout plan, you know, like we're gonna do 75 hard again.
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:30.639
It's like, okay, cool.
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.319
Like, but again, from the third time.
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:39.839
Yeah, it's that like if you have to ask yourself those kind of questions, like, can I see myself doing this long term?
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.240
If the answer is no, then I can tell your plan of attack is it does, it sucks.
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.079
Like, and it's never going to be consistent.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.040
And that's why you see so many people like starting and stopping and starting and stopping.
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:57.920
And then they've and then after the amount of times that that happens to them, then they just now the the belief in their mind is like, well, I'm just one of those people that I can't do it.
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.600
I don't have the discipline, nothing never works for me.
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:00.639
It's not meant for me.
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:01.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.480
It doesn't work for me.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:02.879
Yeah.
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:03.759
So I love that.
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.079
And I I talked like I had a buddy that I told that too.
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.079
He was what he wanted me to do a high rocks competition.
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.199
I was like, nope, sorry.
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:10.079
He's like, Oh, why not?
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.639
Because that's just not my yeah, it's not my thing.
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:13.920
Again, that is cool if it is.
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:18.000
That's an intense, not it's a very intense thing that I know I will not be consistent.
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.839
And then I started weighing my okay options here, the pros and cons here.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.240
And I was like, okay, like what would be better for me, right?
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.279
It's like cool.
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.600
And then I then I get kind of told him, like, well, look, bro, I've already ran, I've already completed 52 marathons this year, man.
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:30.720
Like, I can't do a high rocks.
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.519
On top of that, I ain't got time for that.
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:35.600
Yeah, he was like, What?
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.480
And then I kind of told him the analogy was like, Oh, never really thought about that.
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.519
That was so cool though.
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:50.959
Well, I started doing that with my clients because if you're walking like around around 10,000 steps a day, like it takes you about four or five days to actually complete a full marathon just by being consistent with those steps.
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.000
So I'll shoot them a little.
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.079
I didn't know you were a marathon runner.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.160
Or didn't know you, I didn't know you could do a marathon or something.
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:56.959
Like, what are you talking about?
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.800
It's like, oh man, you you hit a marathon this week.
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.720
Yeah, like look, here's here's your steps, here's how much it takes, here's how many miles you've gone.
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.639
That is a it's a marathon, bro.
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:05.839
You you did a marathon this week.
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:06.240
Congrats.
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.160
And they and they love that stuff, you know.
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:08.560
Yeah.
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.759
Well, you know what though, speaking of clients, so we have this thing.
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.519
I was actually doing this the other day.
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:30.959
Like I I had a conversation with a lot of my clients, a very similar conversation with a lot of my clients this week about, you know, when I'm looking at their dashboard and I'm looking at like the overall compliance for the week or the month or the last three months or the year, whatever it may be.
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:36.799
And, you know, we can tell, like we see these green little check marks when they've hit their targets, right?
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.639
Or we see the red X's when they haven't hit their targets.
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:57.679
And as I'm going through clients' dashboards and I'm going over it with them, you know, there was not a single client that actually had green check marks across nutrition, fitness, steps, um, you know, all the other things that I've got them do.
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.200
Not a single one had a green check mark for every single day.
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:01.919
Not one.
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:10.080
But it's I always come back to like, well, first of all, number one, I'm not asking you to be perfect because that's life.
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.279
Like, we you gotta live life, you know, and there are gonna be days where it's just simply impossible, you know.
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:19.840
But what we're looking for is more green check marks than red X's.
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:25.840
Yeah, you know, and so when you're looking at your week as a whole, it's like, okay, did majority votes win, right?
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.120
Just like in an election.
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.679
So are there more green check marks than there are red X's?
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.039
And if the answer is yes, then it's like, okay, and you know what?
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.919
You're set up on the right path to actually achieve what you say you want to achieve.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:40.240
Yeah.
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:54.960
If it's opposite, you know, where there's more red X's than there are green check marks, well, it's like, okay, well, look at that data, and this is why your progress is stalled, or this is why you aren't losing the weight.
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.399
You know, you've got it's like a five to two ratio.
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:05.440
You got five days where there's more red X's than green check marks, and then you've got two days that were pretty solid.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.039
Well, if you do the math, it's it's science, right?
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.840
That that is not going to get you closer to the goal.
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:18.720
So when you can kind of put it in perspective of like that, like, okay, if you just take it like a week at a time, you got seven days in a week.
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:23.600
Okay, can you be consistent four out of those seven days?
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.399
Why four?
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.279
Because four is more than 50%.
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:47.840
You know, obviously we want you consistent for more than just four days, but if you're just taking it a week at a time, and if you can consistently be on target on, you know, most of those things for four out of the seven days, then you are on track to achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve.
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:57.200
Now, how quickly you get there also is determined by how long you can remain consistent at those things, you know.
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:57.759
Yeah.
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.600
And that's the part that nobody really likes to hear.
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.159
Yeah.
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.519
That's the hard part.
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:04.000
Yeah.
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.919
A lot of people think consistency means doing things perfectly.
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.679
And the minute that you don't do it perfect, uh-oh.
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.200
All of a sudden now I'm not consistent because I didn't do it perfectly.
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:23.279
And really, it's just consistency is just like really just getting it's your ability to get back to the behavior, right?
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:30.720
Quick enough to where to where the repetitions, the things you're doing will actually compound and they'll start to stack up, right?
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:36.639
It's not about being great, it's just being good enough long enough to let that stuff compound.
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.799
It's like if you're in, you know, like thinking about investing money and things of that nature, it's no different.
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:47.120
Like just because you invested$50 today, right, doesn't mean you're a freaking wealthy millionaire overnight, right?
00:11:47.519 --> 00:12:02.559
But if you do if you literally do that over time$50 every day, every single day for 365 days in the year, and you did that for multiple years in a row, that is the massive action, right?
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.600
That is the compounding energy, and it's no different than this.
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.120
Yep, everything compounds.
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.080
And but you know, if you think about that too, I I would laugh at this.
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:16.000
And one of the things I kind of thought was funny because it was like, you know, and we think, and I'm gonna go back to the marathon.
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:29.120
Number one, running a marathon and training for a marathon and completing a marathon is a level of commitment and fitness, and like that is I'm not downplaying a marathon that is hard, that is challenging, that is difficult.
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.279
Kudos to you if you completed one, right?
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:38.159
I'm not I'm not cracking on it, but it is like it's funny though, because it's like, you know, we love to celebrate.
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:50.399
Like, think about like the those big like New York City, I think, you know, marathon, Boston, like how many people sit at the finish line just to cheer on the accomplishment of these people for this one major massive event.
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:51.600
It's that one accompany.
00:12:51.840 --> 00:13:00.159
But you know, nobody's standing at the edge of my driveway clapping for me every single day when I knock my my little cum my 12,000 steps out, right?
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:00.960
When I go for a walk.
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:08.799
We're not we don't celebrate the little small, you know, habits and wins that were going to compound.
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.120
We always celebrate, it's like the transformation, right?
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:19.919
Of somebody that loses, you know, 40, 50 pounds, changes your life, and we see the before and afters in a massive, and we we applaud and we're like, oh my god, that is incredible.
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.840
But nobody was there when you were doing the little things and keeping the promise to yourself.
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.159
You were in the parking lot of the gym negotiating with yourself whether or not you should go home.
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:29.200
Yeah, you know what I mean?
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.799
And that's the whole point of it, like what we were saying earlier.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:47.200
Like that's the if if you're I would say if your plan requires you to be like motivated, like like you have to be like just so motivated every single day for you to be successful at it, not happening.
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:48.799
It is a shitty plan.
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.919
I literally just talked about that on my podcast last week.
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:57.440
Like, yeah, we can all agree that motivation is unreliable.
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.399
Some days you're gonna have it, some days you aren't.
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.919
And quite honestly, especially lately, more days than not, you're not gonna have it.
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.480
I and I am speaking from personal experience.
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:14.480
You know, you are not going to wake up out of bed every morning like LFG.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:16.399
You know, it's just like it's not gonna happen.
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:17.919
But so many people wait for that.
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:23.440
Yeah, they wait for motivation to take action, and then they realize they're waiting for a long time.
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:32.720
Also, I want to say too, just to rewind back on what you were saying, is like this time of year we're getting, you know, ready to go through the holidays, right?
00:14:32.879 --> 00:15:02.159
This time of year is people are notorious starting in October to start just like thinking about throwing everything that they've done all year that they've worked so hard for all year, and just throwing it out the window because the holidays are coming up, and we'll say all start over in January, you know, because they had Halloween.
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.039
Because they enjoyed a Halloween party and had a couple margaritas, maybe more than they should have.
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:23.840
But it's like like you were saying, it's it's about your ability to have days like that, have days that aren't perfect, have the margarita, have the entire bag of Halloween candy that you said you weren't gonna have, and how quickly you can get back up and just go on about your day the very next day.
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:24.240
Yeah.
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.960
And I love like you've heard that simple like 80-20 rule, like people talk about 80-20.
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.639
There is true to that.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:31.759
Like you think about that.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.000
Yeah.
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:44.960
If you if 80% of your life and your and when it comes to this, like this part, like your health, your fitness, your wellness, like all the things that we preach about, and and the reason we're so hard about it is because we just see what kind of impact it has on people and everything that they do, right?
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:59.039
But that 80-20 rule, like you know, I like to live that 80-20 lifestyle, and that is a true little real thing, but not a lot of people can actually do it, commit to it, and stay to it because the 20% of the time, that's what like compounds and gets them off track.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:12.480
Because if you're 365 days a year and you're and you're dialed in and you're doing really well and you're consistent 80% of the time, that means there are 72 days out of that 365 where you're completely not on your game.
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:13.039
Yeah.
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:13.759
Right?
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.759
That is again three, two and a half months.
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.960
So, like, that's the thing I think a lot of people don't understand.
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.960
Like that will win.
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:24.399
8020 will win.
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:24.720
Yeah.
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:29.840
Because that is enough, like I said, but getting back to the behaviors that are going to actually stack up and win.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.000
Yeah.
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.720
I would say that people like more people are probably 20, 80.
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.120
Right.
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.159
Like, you know, and and there, and God love there.
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:42.559
Like, there's a man here in our community, and um, you know, I want to I want to reach out to him so bad.
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.639
I want to hug him, and I want to help him, and I want to like be like, bro, like let me, let me, let me help you.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.480
He loses the same 50, 60 pounds every year.
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.120
Every year.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:17:00.240
And it's just, I mean, it's like I hate it, and it's like you'll see, and he'll put a Facebook post out, and it's like him, like he just killed himself on the step, the step climber.
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.400
He's like, it was like 60 minutes on the step climber, and he's just dying lane's pulling.
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.000
It's like Which is awesome.
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:18.400
It is even more impressive, and what a lot of people it's the hardest part, like getting to the goal, losing the weight is one thing, but staying there is even more impressive.
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:30.319
And also, I think that's where the pressure of timelines, when we put timelines on a specific health and fitness goal, that's what throws people off track.
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:40.880
Because if you think about it, it's like how many times, women, I'm talking to you, have have you said, like, I'm gonna get in shape before my summer vacation.
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:41.839
And they do.
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.319
They lose the weight, they lose the 20 pounds.
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.960
Then the summer vacation happens, and then what happens?
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:52.559
They go right back, they revert back to the habits that got the 20 pounds on them.
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:59.200
They go right back to doing those same things, and then the next year rolls around and it's like, oh shit, uh, spring breaks, you know, rolling around.
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.359
Okay, we have 12 weeks till spring break.
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:06.960
All right, I'm gonna lose 20 pounds in 12 weeks, and then spring break comes, and then guess what happens?
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:13.599
Then they go right back to doing what they were doing before that made them gain that 20 pounds, and that is how the cycle just keeps going.
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.000
So I don't love timelines.
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:31.519
I mean, I'm all for a goal and and I get I I encourage goals, but I also try to teach my clients that like, look, this is a this is a life shift.
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:37.839
Like my goal is to not only help you get to your goal, but then teach you how to stay there.
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.440
Yeah, because if you can't stay there, what's the freaking point?
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:48.000
Well, in the roller coaster ride, is that is the most tremendous waste of time, energy, effort, money, no, no demand.
00:18:48.079 --> 00:19:03.359
Because what happens is it's like you lose the 30, you gain the 30, you lose the and if you're on this, but if you look and then and if you do that and you go over the course of five years, yes, you've accomplished some things, but if you really look back, you're you're you're actually when you're up and down so much, you're you're actually right where you started.
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.880
You're you're in that same plane.
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:07.519
Nothing has really changed at all, right?
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:21.839
But I think the reason why a lot of people like struggle with consistency is just because you don't, like I was saying, like compound the things that compound over time, like you work out one day, you don't come home and look in the mirror and you look different.
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:28.720
You eat perfectly for a day, and then the next morning you get on a scale, chances are the scale's not gonna move, probably could go up, right?
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:47.440
So it's like and that's so so like we are there the people are so quick because we're we just want that immediate feedback, we want that immediate win, and they're so quick to give up on something and say it doesn't work when the going gets tough, they just evaluate things way too quickly, yeah.
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:56.240
And it's like the analogy of like, you know, and I can't remember who said it, but it's probably Alex Ramosy because I'd probably listen and probably most of his stuff sticks in my brain.
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:02.799
But I think it was something of a matter of like people will like the analogy of digging up a seed to see if it's growing, right?
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:03.680
It's like you don't do that.
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:04.799
No, it's our pastor.
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.440
Oh, was it?
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:06.960
Okay, well, Aaron's awesome too.
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.680
So he's talking about growth happens in the dirt.
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:16.720
Yeah, but you put yeah, it's like, but you you plant that seed and then you don't sit there and dig it up and look at it and see if it's working and something.
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:22.160
No, you just you just keep putting the things you need to be doing, and then over time that thing, you know, obviously grows.
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:29.839
And I think but that is really what consist that's the biggest problem with consistency with for people is just that it's that it's generally that they don't see the immediate results.
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:32.640
So then they've come up to the conclusion, oh, this isn't working.
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:40.880
And a lot of times, like if you look at them and you're kind of watching things, you're like, dude, you're so close to having a breakthrough, but you just never give it enough time.
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:52.559
Yeah, and I we I have family members that I mean, I'm you know, it's got every machine, every videotape, every app, everything, everything you could possibly imagine.
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.839
And they'll tell you about it.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.319
Like, I'm starting this, I'm doing this, I'm doing that.
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.839
And then it's like three weeks later, ah, that didn't work.
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:01.279
I'm doing this now, I'm doing that.
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:13.359
Why most people are not walking around in a body that they genuinely love because they aren't willing to do what it takes long enough to get that goal.
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:22.559
And a lot of people underestimate how long it actually takes and how many consistent reps it actually takes.
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:30.960
And we've seen it, yeah, like you said, we we've seen all the time where people will quit before they're like so freaking.
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:41.200
Well, because it's not it's not the individual action that changes your life, it's the accumulation of those actions over time that actually change your life.
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:48.160
And to your point, this the whole point of this episode was you know, we started out with like saying how many marathons he completed.
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:50.799
By the way, I'm gonna figure out how many I've completed this year.
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:52.480
Um now it's a race.
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.240
Uh, but anyways, um the one that you didn't know you signed up for.
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:05.200
But the whole point of that was to To prove to you that it's those consistent little actions that add up over time.
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:07.200
Right.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.559
Instead of preparing for one big race, right?
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:21.039
It's it's the consistent little things, the little boring daily habits that you do that are going to eventually lead to the big result.
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:27.920
But you have to be willing, like I said, to do it long enough and consistently enough to actually get there.
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:49.519
And yeah, because my whole point was like if you think about those two things training hard and running and completing a marathon versus simply just walking and compounding enough mileage and step that you've done 70 marathons and you're which is more impressive, which is more sustainable, which can you see yourself doing long term?
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:50.000
Right.
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.680
And those are always the questions that you ask yourself about your plan.
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:57.920
If you want to be consistent, it's like, can you do it when you're not motivated?
00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:59.599
Can you do it when you're traveling?
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.640
Can you do it like consistency consistently?
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:05.119
Can you see yourself doing this consistently next year too?
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:05.359
Yeah.
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:20.960
Because if the answer is no to all those things, and that's why I say, and again, we we were part of some of the you know six-week challenges and we've done and we've seen this, you know, this and again, those things, what people don't understand, those things are meant to be like like steps, right?
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:21.759
Like steer step.
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.119
They're meant to like get you started and hopefully get you going.
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.559
But most people use them as like they're six weeks and I'm done.
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.920
There's a start line and a finish line.
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.119
Yeah, there is no consistency, has no finish line.
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.640
That's the beautiful thing about consistency.
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:36.799
It doesn't have a consistent, it doesn't have a finish line.
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:45.359
So some of those other things, when you when you set those, like you said, expectations and those finish lines, the moment you get to that finish line, it's like it's over, you have nowhere to go relax.
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.400
Instead of you set up like consistency is all about checkpoints, right?
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:48.799
Right.
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.599
Like, cool, I got to checkpoint A.
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:53.680
And we know that we don't stay here.
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.799
That's a checkpoint.
00:23:54.960 --> 00:24:00.079
We do, we, we, we celebrate it, the milestone, the checkpoint, but then we're on to the next, right?
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:01.920
And we're just can you just kind of keep down that path?
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:11.279
And if you're playing a game that's what they say, like an infinite game versus a finite game, meaning there's no beginning end, like it's just how long can I continue to do this?
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:19.119
And you will find the longer you continue to do something, like that's when those massive accomplishments happen and massive change happens.
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:25.759
It's not from that, you know, one workout or that one meal or that, you know, one supplement or whatever.
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:47.039
Consistency looks like, you know, doing those boring things every single day, and then taking a vacation and maybe not doing those things and taking a break, and then coming back from vacation and just getting right back to what you were doing before the vacation instead of like letting the vacation ruin your entire progress for the rest of the year, you know.
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:50.000
That's what people don't realize.
00:24:50.160 --> 00:25:01.599
Like that's why I personally hate timelines, you know, and and again, I'm all about goal setting, but I also always try to set that expectation of like, hey, yeah, like I love it.
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:28.160
I know you want to be 125 pounds by Halloween, amazing, but I want to do it in a way to where we're gonna, we're we're uh building that foundation to where we get you to that 125 by Halloween, and then you're not gonna go backwards and you're not gonna just go back to the you know 160 or whatever it was that you were like like again, like I was saying, it's one thing to get to the goal, but can you stay there?
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:37.680
And if not, then you either need to re-evaluate your plan or you need to reevaluate your goal, and you need to ask yourself, like, okay, do I really actually want that?
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:42.640
Yeah, you know, am I really willing to do what it takes to actually get me there?
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:48.400
Like, you know, I have this one girl that was in my DMs and she's you know sent me pictures of Kim Kardashian.
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:51.440
She's like, I really want to look like Kim Kardashian, you know, like body, right?
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.960
Like, don't we all, but but uh there's surgery for that.
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:00.240
But anyways, um and I'm like, okay, that's that's awesome, you know.
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:05.039
But are you willing to do what it takes to actually get you to look like Kim Kardashian?
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:10.960
You know, because it's not a that's not a six-month thing, it's not a one-year thing, it also depends on where you're starting from.
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.200
Yeah, it could be a decade thing.
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.680
Yeah, sorry, I'm just keeping it real.
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.240
Yeah, you know, yeah, truly.
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:18.960
Yeah.
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.319
So yeah, and I say all the time, like, you know, you got a goal, what is it?
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:24.079
Cool, we can get there.
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:25.200
How long?
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:26.160
That's gonna be up to you.
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:27.759
How long are you willing to keep going at it?
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:31.599
If it we'll get there, not if we're gonna get there, we will get there.
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:33.039
It's just like when are we gonna get there?
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:36.880
And are you gonna actually do what it yeah, and that's always up to the and that that's what I was saying.
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:45.200
Like, at the end of the day, like obviously I know I didn't, you know, go out and walk 1370 miles or complete 50 some modern marathon.
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:49.759
I I know I didn't physically go out and do that in one, but all I did was go for a walk.
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.039
Yeah, and then I did it again.
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.519
A daily and again, and again, and again.
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.440
And that's to me, is like that's what again, if you want the result, it's all it is.
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.240
It's just showing up and doing it again and again and again.
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:04.400
And if you have a bad day, cool.
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.359
Show up and you wash it and you go and you move on.
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:09.599
Yeah, and I think that's again with the coaching aspect.
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:10.960
I mean, we talk about all the time.
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.640
Like, a coach isn't really there to make sure you never have a bad day again the rest of your life.
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:15.839
That's not what it's all about.
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:18.000
It's to make sure that we don't compound it, right?
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:19.359
Yeah, you don't have multiple days.
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:24.559
Like you say, cool, man, you had a shitty day, you had a shitty week, we had a hey, we had a shitty month, but like, look, we're still here.
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:25.440
Let's regroup.
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:25.839
Let's go.
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:28.160
Game ain't over till it's over, baby.
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.119
Right?
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:29.680
All right.
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.839
Well, with that, all right, guys.
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:33.200
We will see you next time.
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.079
Peace.
