Episode 24 Get Fit, Stay Motivated and Confident

[00:00:05] Alright everybody, we're a WOD, you're now tuned into your Motivation and Confidence, and I'm your host, Tom Danger

[00:00:13] Back this week with a new episode, with a new episode, about 10th of May, with a new episode

[00:00:20] And this week we're going to talk about, from a confidence level and a motivation level fitness

[00:00:29] So a lot of times, and I think this is like the best time to talk about it because

[00:00:36] We're in November and the holidays are about to hit us, we're going to get our eat on, throw down and everything

[00:00:44] And we're going to eat all this food over the holidays and then we're going to come January or New Year's

[00:00:49] We're going to say New Year, New Me

[00:00:51] Right? And everybody going to run to the gym, you're going to get your memberships, you're going to go for that first two weeks

[00:00:58] And then the weather is going to get a little ugly and nasty and you're going to decide like, you know, I'm not going to go anymore

[00:01:06] Right? Let's get the feel sound

[00:01:10] That's pretty bad

[00:01:12] But when you think about it, if you start now and do things in moderation

[00:01:20] You can save yourself some money come January because you won't waste your money on a gym membership, you know

[00:01:28] This is just real brief. I had been diagnosed with high blood pressure about 6 years ago now

[00:01:35] Right? And I had to think of a way to keep my blood pressure low and one way was just exercising

[00:01:45] So without going crazy, my wife and I we just decided to go for walks

[00:01:50] We would do like a 30 minute walk hour walk first started out on the weekends

[00:01:54] Then we started doing it after dinner and then it transformed into a whole different lifestyle

[00:01:58] Right? Key word, lifestyle, not a diet

[00:02:03] Right? Because if you think of a diet and hate the sound redundant but a diet is temporary

[00:02:10] Right? You have a prom coming up, a prom, a reunion. How old are we here?

[00:02:15] You have a reunion coming up or you have some sort of special event and you want to fit into that outfit

[00:02:21] Especially ladies, you know, you want to get into that dress

[00:02:23] You're going to do the cabbage soup diet, you're going to do the...what's another one?

[00:02:30] You know, you're going to juice for a couple of days, you're going to try and fast

[00:02:35] You're going to do all this fancy stuff and it will work

[00:02:38] I don't doubt that it will not work. It will work

[00:02:41] You will drop that 10 pounds that you're looking for

[00:02:44] And you will fit into that dress and you may appear and look the way that you want to look temporarily

[00:02:50] Which is a very good segue because you know when you drop that weight, all of a sudden what happens?

[00:02:55] You feel better about yourself. You feel good. Like you set a goal, you went for it, you set it

[00:03:00] Now you're looking good in that dress, people are complimenting you

[00:03:03] And your confidence automatically goes up

[00:03:07] You step in that room, you feel motivated

[00:03:09] You're ready to show everybody how you look and what you've been doing

[00:03:12] Like look at me now, you know

[00:03:14] Now that goal that you set shouldn't be just for that weekend

[00:03:21] Just to show your friends or family members

[00:03:24] That should be your lifestyle. Every day you step out of your crib, you want people to go

[00:03:28] Wow, you got it going on

[00:03:30] You're really one sided right now

[00:03:33] Because you're talking about a woman but you're not talking about the men

[00:03:37] You know I'm recording live and I have no problem with you interjecting

[00:03:41] Because there is a female audience

[00:03:45] And I only said that because most women do the quick fix right?

[00:03:54] Let's be honest, the women do the quick fix because when they get around the girls

[00:03:58] They want to be like, I got it going on

[00:04:00] Guys you get older, you're a little bit more set in your ways right?

[00:04:04] As long as my suit can fit

[00:04:06] I'm rocking it. I'm not really concerned about the way other guys are looking at me

[00:04:11] When I got my suit on right?

[00:04:14] However, from a competitive standpoint

[00:04:21] If you're in the gym or if you're exercising and you see another guy exercising

[00:04:27] And he has another great point right?

[00:04:29] You know I'll post pictures on Instagram

[00:04:32] Look at me. I'm running. I'm doing this

[00:04:35] Next week what you see

[00:04:37] You see another guy that we know posting a picture right

[00:04:39] Next week what do you see? Two or three more guys posting their pictures

[00:04:44] Next week what do you see? More people posting their pictures

[00:04:47] And it's great that in that case social media

[00:04:51] We can motivate each other to do something good

[00:04:55] You know, hopefully it's not a temporary thing

[00:05:00] Just because you see one person doing it this week

[00:05:03] And you want to try to go hard for a month

[00:05:05] And then after that you write back to your regular routines

[00:05:07] So all I'm saying is in order to boost your confidence and stay motivated

[00:05:15] Make little changes. Don't try to do dramatic changes

[00:05:20] We're not telling you to give up your junk food

[00:05:22] We're not telling you to stop drinking

[00:05:24] We're not telling you to stop being couch potato

[00:05:27] That's what you want to do

[00:05:29] Hey, do you

[00:05:31] Just remember there is an end result if you keep doing that same thing day in and day out

[00:05:37] An example

[00:05:41] Easy one is like just cut down on the fried foods

[00:05:44] Real simple

[00:05:46] If you want to have fried foods once a week, your Friday or Saturday

[00:05:49] Go for it

[00:05:51] But the rest of the week do a steam, do a grill

[00:05:53] Limit your portions

[00:05:55] Break your meals up into smaller meals

[00:05:58] So that you're not starving by the time you sit down

[00:06:01] And you just eat everything that's in sight

[00:06:04] You know what I mean?

[00:06:05] You can have your little cocktails or whatever

[00:06:07] Like don't mix it with juice

[00:06:09] Don't mix it with soda

[00:06:11] We like to use Trop 50 or even mix it with crystal light

[00:06:15] Or a zero calorie

[00:06:18] Seltzer or something like that

[00:06:20] Keep it in to limits

[00:06:23] And do it in moderation

[00:06:28] Like I said walking is really good

[00:06:30] There's plenty of videos on YouTube that you can watch

[00:06:33] Just do something light

[00:06:35] Like start out with one day a week

[00:06:37] Just do an exercise routine

[00:06:39] 10-15 minutes, whatever you like

[00:06:41] Do the things that you like

[00:06:43] Don't do it because you see somebody else is doing it

[00:06:45] They going hard and they doing that

[00:06:47] P90X

[00:06:49] And they in the gym 6 days a week

[00:06:51] And they running X amount of don't do that

[00:06:53] Try different things out

[00:06:55] And find out what you like

[00:06:57] And when you find out what you like

[00:06:59] Just stick to the routine

[00:07:01] Simply put

[00:07:03] And keep in your body emotion

[00:07:05] So that between the two it balances

[00:07:07] Everything just stays in motion

[00:07:09] And that's all you got to do

[00:07:11] Now I'm interested to hear

[00:07:13] Some of the things that you come up with

[00:07:16] I don't want to do a 30 day challenge

[00:07:18] I want to do a one day challenge

[00:07:20] I want you to take one day

[00:07:22] And see if you can get up in the morning

[00:07:24] And push yourself to exercise

[00:07:26] One day to see if you can just

[00:07:28] Modify the way that you eat

[00:07:30] And just cut back on something

[00:07:31] And then next week

[00:07:34] Like check in with us

[00:07:36] Hit us up on the podcast

[00:07:38] Like email us

[00:07:40] Let us know like

[00:07:42] Yo Tom this is what we tried out

[00:07:44] This is what I did

[00:07:46] I just want to

[00:07:48] Give a shout out to myself

[00:07:50] For even trying

[00:07:52] Because that's what it's all about

[00:07:54] It's just about trying it

[00:07:56] Once you try it

[00:07:58] It's like riding the bike with training wheels

[00:07:59] You can take off the other training wheels

[00:08:01] You ride with no wheels

[00:08:03] You're going for it

[00:08:05] And you're doing your thing

[00:08:07] That's all we're saying

[00:08:09] And keep that confidence up

[00:08:11] And stay motivated

[00:08:13] And like we always do
