  Speaker 5: right now. I have a tendency to be really hard
• 8:22

  Speaker 4: That's a word for somebody that I might not be there,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: but i know I'm on the way. Okay, it's there,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: It's all there, listen, Brie. One of the things that
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I've been enjoyed about, like your content and stuff that
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: you are really consistent. And another one of the things
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I learned about you just kind of doing some research
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: is that you were a student athlete, and I've always
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: been curious about the journey of a student athlete. Can
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: we get into that, like, have you always been an
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: athlete your whole life or what?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Give us a little background on that.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So for me personally, I have always been an athlete,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: from whether I wanted to or not. From like the
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: early stages of like elementary school, you know, I was
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: I was put into sports. Tried almost every sport from
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: tennis to swimming, to basketball, to track and field everything.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: So I actually ended up running track in college and
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: I played basketball majority of my life actually, but I
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: ran track in college, and sports has just always been
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: a part of me. It has made me who I am.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: It was my full identity. I actually struggled with that
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: once I graduated a lot, actually, because it was such
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: a huge part of my identity. But after I graduated,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: that was kind of what led me into fitness even
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: throughout my college journey, throughout my collegiate experience, that is
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: what pushed me to where I am today. But I
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: loved every second of it. It was tough for sure,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: But I don't know what I would have done if
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: I didn't have that background or that experience throughout college.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you said that it what it was a challenge
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: to your identity. What do you What do you mean
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: by that as far as like being an athlete? What
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: does that look like for you?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: So when you are an athlete, and I can't say
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: when you are looked from my personal experience, when I
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: was an athlete in college, that was how people recognize me.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: It's like, oh, you're on the track team. Oh you're
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: a track girl. You know, this is that like you,
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: That is your identity. That is how people refer to
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: you as that, that's just who you are. And I
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: at the time did not see a problem with that
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: because that was who I was, you know, and where
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: I went and they're like, oh, you run track at
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Georgia centern So yeah. And then when I graduated, it
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: was kind of tough because I'm like, who am I? Like,
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I'm not an athlete anymore, but who am I outside
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: of this? I've really I didn't know for a while,
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: and that that really was was a tough thing to
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: kind of mentally shift, like who am I? How do
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: I know who I am If I'm not an athlete?
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: What do I represent all of those things? That that was?
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: That was a struggle?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: So and what so what did the point of resolve
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: look like for you? What? What do you do?
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: You know the moment you was like, Okay, I think
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: I'm getting something, I'm coming up, coming up with something
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: outside of just being an athlete.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: What like what was that that space and what did
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that look like?
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I won't necessarily say it was a moment specifically
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: that I can remember. It was more of a progression
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: over time where I spent a lot of time outside.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Once I graduated, I spent a lot of time like
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: spinding myself, still going to the track, still trying to
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: do my track workouts, still trying to record track workouts,
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: and identifying with that type of person. And eventually I
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: kind of fell out of love with that part of
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: exercise and I realized that this is just not who
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: I am. So I got to figure out what I
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: enjoy now. So I started to try different things. Strength
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: training has always been where I thrived, even in college.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Like honestly, I was a better lift than I was
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: an athlete, Like I was better in the weight room
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: than I was on the track, and you know, that
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: was something that another thing that I was known for,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: but just kind of leaning into that aspect of it,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: because athlete not athlete, sports or you know, exercise has
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: always been a part of me. So figuring out how
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: I identify with that outsid side of specifically identifying with
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: being a competitive athlete, that was kind of where that
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: kind of where that shift started to happen. Just leaning
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: more into accepting this part of who I am, but
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: not making that my identity.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: That's so good. I think a desil Ray came out
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: and saying, the interesting part that you just brought up
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: was that they're different opportunities and exercise. Can we lean
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: into that because I don't think when people nowadays it's
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: so easy to get on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or whatever
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: and to see, oh, they're working out this way and
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: you got so many avenues, How did you figure out
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: what your avenue was for you? And how do you
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: teach people what to lean into when they're being introduced
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: to the fitness world.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I tell people try try something or try everything
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: until you figure out what you love. A lot of
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: people when it comes to exercise they think that has
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: to be done one way. They think I have to
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: go to the gym, I have to look these weights,
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: or I have to do it a certain way, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: that's not necessarily the case. There are so many different
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: options that you have out there. Try it out. You
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: you have your life, Like, I don't understand why people
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: think that everything has to be this one sided thing. Like,
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: there's so many different opportunities for you to try. If
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: you like pilates, try pilates. If you like yoga, try yoga.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: If you like cycle, tricycle. Me personally, I hate cycle,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: but some people enjoy that group fitness or you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: things like that. But just continuously giving yourself the opportunity
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: to try something without the fear of looking crazy you're
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: going That's one thing that I find that holds people back.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: They're like, oh, I don't want to go do this
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: because I'm going to look stupid. So everybody's going to
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: look stupid at first. Everybody goes through that trial period,
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: but you will continuously keep yourself from actually walking your
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: potential and reaching the things that you can do until
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: you get over that fear of looking it's going to happen.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to tell you that just because you
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: try it and you're not going to look crazy, but it's
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: okay to actually go through that process. It's a learning curve.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: Everybody goes through it, and eventually, once you go through it,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: you'll learn, Okay, I don't like this. I kind of
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: like this a little bit more, but let me tweak
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: it this way. So it's a trial and error process
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: that everybody has to go through.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I'm so glad you brought that up, like, because that
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: the intimidation, like when you go, like somebody goes to
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: the gym, right. I was talking to my sister and
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: she has this gym member strip ship and she was like, man,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: I was I've been nervous to just continuously go to
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: gym because I don't know what I'm doing, right, I don't. Unfortunately,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: when we were in high school and we played basketball,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: they didn't really give us weight training, Like I went
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: to a private school and they focused more so on
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the guys, the males the boys team, and they didn't
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: really We did a lot of running, but no weightlifting
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: or anything like that. So this was was a new
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: thing for both of us as far as like working out.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: But she started going to the gym, and she mentioned
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: that she was like, I look I feel like I
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: look so stupid. But then she mentioned also that there
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: were gentlemen that came and started like seeing her regularly
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: come and they was like.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Hey try this, like try that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: And I was so happy that somebody was willing to
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: go to her and say hey, try it this way.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: I could see that you're doing wrong because you can
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: really hurt yourself.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: That's my fear. My fear is not even just looking stupid.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: My fear.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you this breath. I had a coach.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: I was in the gym and I had a coach
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: and I did a rip. I think it was called
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: a han clean. This is what that is.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: And I pushed.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: It up for some I don't know what happened. The
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: thing fell on my head. Adam not so i'd be.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: I'm a little fearful.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Lord, say.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Blessed, blessed, honey.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Marcus looked at me. He said what he said, Well, but.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Time, that's all you can say all you can.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: So that's personally my fear is the safety. But I
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: think they're also just the not knowing what you do.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: It can tie tie into that because if I wasn't
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: fearful of I was probably scared to get it up.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: I was probably afraid of the weight. I oh, this
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: is so good, and I want you to speak to it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: The limitations that we put on ourselves when we're going
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: to places like the gym, What does that look like?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: How do you break those limitations for when you're talking
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: to your clients, because I know I got them. I'm like,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I can't lift this weight, I can't do this rip,
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Do it for sure, for sure. Yeah, number one, safety
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: is a huge thing. So I will never tell anybody
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: to just go into the gym and just put one
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: hundred pounds on the bar. That and you've never even
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: lifted your own body weight, you know, starting small. So
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: for some people that intimidation is like an actual It
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: causes them anxiety, like they're truly fearful to go and
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: do these things, which I understand when and in that instance,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: I always say start at home with body weight exercises.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: There is every single movement that you do in the
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: gym you can do at home, just body weight, so
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: you can learn the form, you can understand what you're
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: supposed to be feeling. We're the biggest issue that I
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: see is a lot of people we're just going because
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: we saw something on Instagram. There is an exercise we
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: saw that we saved and we're like, Okay, I'm going
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: to go do that workout. Which, okay, that's somewhere to start.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: But if you don't understand the form, you don't understand
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: what you're supposed to be feeling when you're doing exercise,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: is that can play a role. You can get injured,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: you're not even going to be able to see the results.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: But it's a progression. So you start with the body
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: weight movements, and that is perfectly fine. You start by
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: doing the movements body weight, you start by adding them,
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: you start, and then from there you just progress on.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: So for you with that hang clean exercise specifically, that
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: is a complex movement, like that's not an easy thing
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: to do. There's a lot of different techniques that go
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: into being able to do that appropriately. So it needs
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: to be broken down, break it up into different parts.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: And that's something like you know, further along the way,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: I would never have a Beaconder client do and exercise
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: like that unless they're personally with me. But for a
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: lot of like the people trying to do this journey
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: on your own. Simple movements, squats, rdos, deadlifts, all of
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: these things you can learn how to do them on
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: your own to the point where you're at home like, ooh,
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I want to get in the gym now, let me
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: go ask some way to do this. I feel good
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: at doing this now. But you just got to build
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: up these reps. Just like in business, with everything that
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: you do, you got to get the reps in. You
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: got to be able to do the baby steps, do
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: the little things to be able to build the confidence
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: and build that reassurance within yourself to actually progress to
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: the next level.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: That's so good, that that's really good. I think what
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: I heard you say, the big part of it is
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: confidence that you have to start somewhere in the fitness journey.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: And I love how you said, like you can do
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: stuff at home, because that's what we're doing. Like some
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: of the stuff that we're doing in our community is
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: just doing stuff at home. Because right now I don't
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: have a gym membership. I'm not going to pay for
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: one right now. That's not in the budget, however, and
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: I don't want that to be an excuse for me
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: not to kind of like lean into my weight loss journey.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: And that's something that I've kept from myself for.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: A long time.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: So I'm so glad that you brought it up because
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: a lot of people don't think they can start at
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: home with their.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Body weight right.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: They think is like, oh, I need these materials to
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: because I was one, like I just I made an
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: excuse you like, the only way I'm gonna lose weight
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: is if I go to the gym.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And that's what I felt.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: But I'm starting to see a difference and I have
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: not been to one gym, Like I've been at home
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: in my room, doing the workout that's posted for the
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: day and then going about my business.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: So I think that's so awesome.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: So I would love to hear your your your intake
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: on the benefits of having a coach, right. I know
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: when I was first looking for a coach or whatever,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: I didn't necessarily know what to look for. I just
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: know what I desired as far as like getting the
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: results right. And when you think about different coaches, you girl,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: I've seen some extreme coaches on like the social media
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: or whatever that are just that's just kind of wild,
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: like disrespectfully round, like some people like that, I ain't her.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: So when somebody is looking to go like, what's the
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: benefits of the coach and how do I find the
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: coach that fits me best?
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, first before I get to that, I want
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: to ask you, how has the doing this the way
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: that you're doing it, the body waight exercise at home,
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: how has that made you feel personally?
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. Look just asked me.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Personally, it has made me feel better by myself. It
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: was it was not just only the fitness part. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: was trying to get more disciplined, and I was like
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: trying to defeat the excuses that I was giving myself
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: on not working out and doing something for me, Like
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: I felt like.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: The relationship with me was damaged.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: And so fitness is not just is a definitely was
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: the Waight thing, because I was like, I've always had
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: like you said, You've always been an athlete. I've always
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: been a fat girl, like whether it was just in
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: my mind or in my mind and in my actuality. Right,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: and so now even just getting up at home, I
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: feel like I have more power. Like I feel empowered.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: That's probably the best word I can say. I feel empowered.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: M I love that. Yeah, And that honestly is the
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: biggest mental block. We think that a lot of us
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: think that we have to go to the gym and
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: we have to do these things that we see on
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: social media just because that's what's going to give us
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: that empowerment. But it starts with the little things. It
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: starts with you actually starting to break down the reason
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: why you have so much anxiety around going to the
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: gym and the reason why you're finding all of these excuses.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: Like I have a friend that she wants to get
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: at her fitness journey. We've had the conversation, she has
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: the goals that talks about this, but the gym membership
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: she got is thirty minutes from her house. She's literally
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: creating an extra limitation to her reaching these goals. We
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: try to put in all do all of these extra
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: things when we need to create the least amount of
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: resistance possible to get to these goals. We're making it
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: way more complicated than it has to be. We try
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: to put all these bearers, especially as business owners, especially
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: as business owners, as entrepreneurs, as high performing corporate women,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: high performing professional women. Thing we expect things to be hard.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: We have the mindset we have to work so hard,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: we have to do all of these things. We have
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: to be the ones to take control. We have to
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: do all of this, and this journey doesn't have to
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: be that. This journey definitely does not have to be that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Creating this can be easy. It's okay for something to
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: be easy, and as powerful women, it's hard to accept that,
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: and we create barriers that don't necessarily need to be there.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: She said a word, girl, my shando help. I mean
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: my my, my arms was just changing. Like she she
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: basically said, you're putting more pressure on yourself, but then
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: you have to No, this is so so the solution.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Let me just be clear on solutions, because I know
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: your target is like entrepreneurs, business.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Owners, women, empowerment.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I love how you said that, because if I my
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: mom said this to me one day, Breeze, she said,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: we're not doing hard anymore. And when she said that,
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: I was like, was I intentionally seeking hard? Because it's
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: almost like hard validates us. If it's not hard, then
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: you don't.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: Honor.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So with your clients, is that something that you
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: how do you break that aspect down?
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Because that's such a powerful point that you just made.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: With my clients specifically, it's more so just through conversations
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: like this, like understanding the deeper reasons. So when we
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: first started having this conversation with you, Jess, you said that,
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: you know, you just you just started at home. Somebody
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: could leave it at that conversation, but then we got
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: a little bit deeper, why why do you just you know,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: why are we doing that? And then you got into
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: the deeper reason of I've always had the mentality that
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: I'm the fat girl, right, I've always had that mentality
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: that that's just kind of you know that insecurity that
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: I have. We kind of break it down, so we
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: have this conversations. It's specific for each end. Visual we
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: all have our own history and our own trauma that
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: we've been through that we may even be subconsciously putting
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: into our daily activities. We wear certain clothes because we
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: just feel more comfortable in these clothes when really we
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: would rather be wearing this other outfit that we see
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: in our closet, but in the back of our mind
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: it just doesn't look right right now. But just figuring
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: out what exactly is holding that one person back and
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: going a little bit deeper seven levels deep. That's what
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I was taught in psychology, like seven levels deep, just
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: figuring out why, why why. Surface level, we may understand
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: this one thing like well, I just don't like the gym.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: I hear a lot of people say I just don't
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: like the gym. It's not that you just don't like
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: the gym. There's a reason why you have anxiety around
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: going to the gym. Maybe you got injured before and
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: maybe somebody said a comment that just didn't sit right
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: with you. Maybe you know whatever, insert whatever your trauma is.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: But we have to figure that out first and then
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: just dig a little deeper and we can kind of
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: just baby stuff. We're not taking any dressing measures, but
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: it's baby steps to just overcoming these things. First, we
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: got to understand what it is, and then we can
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: take steps to overcome these these anxieties and these traumas
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: that we have under levels.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Deep, Bri, I'm gonna tell you to goat right now.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you where you to go. I ain't go,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie, I ain't never listen, y'all.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: I ain't worked out with the woman again at this
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: our first time talking.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: If you want to know the truth about it. You
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: to go. I'm gonna tell you why you could go.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: It's an art.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: For people to really listen. People don't really listen. And
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: for this is what I just I'm gathering from the
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: encounter that I'm having with you that you don't just
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: go be like, okay, your body you're batter fact on
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: twenty percent.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that go. But your by to
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: fact on this.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Percent and you're eating hamburgers, hot dogs and cupcakes and
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: French fries, and you not just doing it like you're
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: looking into the soul of a person and saying, Okay,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: this is what's holding you.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Back from your weight loss? Is that Is that fair?
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Because I saw that you did these calls or these
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: uh what you call it? These the coaching calls? Yeah,
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: the coaching calls. And I'll just tell you my experience
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: when I first started getting coaching, I don't have that
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: same coach anymore. He was more focused on like, Okay,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: what do you want to be? What's your goal or whatever?
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: But it sounds like you do something different.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: It is a little bit different. So yes, we have
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: that conversation and we figure out what your goals are,
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: what you want to accomplish. But honestly, that's not enough
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: because when it comes to and I would say earlier
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: in my in my training career, that is how I
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: approach it because like it's a science, boom, this is
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: what your stats are. I know the science to help
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: you get to where you want to be. But over
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: time I have learned that that doesn't apply for everybody.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: I'm an athlete. I've always been an athlete, so working
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: out it in my nature is like if I don't
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: do it, I don't feel right. But not everybody is
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: like that. There are people that have never worked out
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: a day in their life. There are people that were
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: forced to be in sports when they were growing up,
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: so now they have this anxiety around actually exercising. There
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: are people that have just honestly never showed interests. They've
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: always done different things. So it's more so about figuring
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: out what is going to entice this person to actually
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: make a change from what you're so used to doing
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: for all these years. Why do we need to make
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: this change. Is it the fact that now you have
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: to be on medication? Is it the fact that you
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: had a kid and now you're just uncomfortable in your
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: own body. Is it the fact that now you want
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: to start dating and you don't even feel confident enough
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: to go out and allow yourself to be put out
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: there anymore. There are different reasons and different things that
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: are going to entice the individual people. So until I
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: can figure out that I'm not a therapist. Now correct
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: that I'm not a therapist, but I'm wanting to coach
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: you and figure out what those underlying things are and
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: how I can help you actually kind of work through
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: these things through health and fitness. Health and fitness can
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: do a lot, especially for women. Like you said that
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: you're starting to build confidence and you want us to
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: get the discipline right. You can be disciplined in your
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: business all day. Somebody wants to do a podcast, somebody
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: wants to work with you. You're going to make sure
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: that gets done. But before, when it comes to your
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: health and fitness, you would have said, not today, I'm
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: too tired. I'm gonna bring it on the back burn.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: You know, I'll do it tomorrow, and then tomorrow never comes.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: You know, we don't have that same discipline, and then
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: we just have to figure out why not. Because you
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: know that it's important. You know that you need it,
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: But there's something mentally, like everybody has the same stats everybody,
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: and everybody has the same information. We know that health
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: and fitness is good, you lose weight, you feel better.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: We know all that, But at the same time, why
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: don't we do it? And that reason is different for everybody.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's different.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: And did I hear that you like took psychology or
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: was that your major?
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: So my major wasn't psychology. My major was exercise science
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: and kinesiology, so study of the body. But then within
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: that we took sports psychology. We took a lot of
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: psychology classes within my degree.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Mm.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, so that's another thing to it. Okay, I'm getting
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: to a point here, because that's another thing to it
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: because what I'm hearing you say, not only do you
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: have the physical appearance, but you have the knowledge to
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: back it up. Because one thing we think about with
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: knowledge is oh, I can go get certified because correct
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: me if I'm wrong. Anybody can get certified as like
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: a physical coach or a fitness instructor or anything like that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: But what's special about you, Bree, is that you have
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: not only a degree in it, but the degree plan.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm most spoken to them. So I notice it.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: The degree plan sets you up for the total person,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: not just for the physical part.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: That's what I just heard.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So I would say this process is different for
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: every coach. There are coaches that have the degree. There
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: are coaches that have the certification just for the title,
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: but they're not paying attention to the person. They're paying
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: attention to the science. And yes, you need to know
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: the science. Yes you can have all the information and
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: know what you need to do physically for sure, but
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: there's a difference when you pay attention to the individuals
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: and that just comes from experience. Like, yes, I have
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: the degrees, and I'm grateful for the degrees that i have,
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: but regardless, talking to people outside of the science, talking
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: to people and really understanding the deeper levels and understanding
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: what gets people results. I work with people for years
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: at a time, and there are phases that we go through.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: So this phase may work for this person and this
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: phase may not work for the next person. Like it's
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: just it's a process of just really understanding how people work.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Like you can't just know the science when it comes
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: to this. That is a great thing. You can program
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: all day, but if you can't get them to commit
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: to the program, then what kind of coach are you?
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Listen, she said, she dropping bars all this year, like no,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: this is this is really good, so much to the
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: point where like I'm interested in knowing one of another
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: things that I see what I'm just gonna talk about
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: me one of the things that I was intimidated by
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: when I was thinking about getting a coach.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: What's the financial commitment?
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: And so how would you explain, like how do you
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: get overcome that that idea? Because I find it, but
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: these things happen and people are concerned about their finances, right,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: how what is your explorinent of being able to maybe there's.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: A trade or maybe health conditions. I don't know.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: There's so many explanations I've heard. What do you how
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: do you combat there? The financial commitment of it?
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so this again goes back to why is this
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: so important? We can break down? So within my program
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: we do it's called a health assessment. So within this
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: health assessment, we figure out how much money are you
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: actually spending on Netflix, on DoorDash, on Hulu, on going
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: out and smoking hookah and drinking on the weekends and
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: brunch on every Sunday and things like that. So we're
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: breaking this down. I need to in order to actually
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: help you. I need to know. I'm in your business
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: as a coach. Let me know what's going on, and
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: with that we can figure out. As long as they're
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: honest with me, we can figure out. Okay, we can
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: consolidate these funds. And I'm not saying don't get me wrong,
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying don't go to brunch. I'm not that
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: kind of coach. I'm not going to tell you to
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: not go have fun with your people and do these things.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: But moderation is key. You're going every Sunday and you
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: spend in Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday in the club with
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: your friends, Like okay, relax a right, come on, now,
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: there are adjustments we can make. So we just kind
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: of we go through all of these things and I'm
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: not like breaking out anybody's finances, but I'm seeing where
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: is your money going and if this is something that
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: you need to change. Not everybody's in that position where
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: they mentally understood that they need to make this change.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: And that's part of where that mental thing comes from.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: So that's why I help you. Uncovered do we need
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: this right now? And how bad do we need this?
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: Why do we need this? What are we sacrificing if
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: we don't do this. Once we figure all of that out,
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: it can become a priority, just like if you have
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: a let's see, you got your Krno, you got to
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: pay your carno, you got to get to places right
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: This needs to be a non negotiable, just like the
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: rest and stuff. So how are we going to factor
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: this in? Because your health and wellness matters. The rest
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: of the things aren't even going to exist if you're
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: not here to take care of it. You want to
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: sit here and take your kids here. You want to
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: make sure your kids get there. You want to make
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: sure that these sales calls get done. You want to
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: make sure this business item gets handled. But if you
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: are not mentally and physically in a place to even
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: long term be able to handle that, you're sacrificing your
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: health now for what It can't even be sustained long term.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: So it needs to be a priority. It needs to
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: be something that you add into your budget to make
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: sure that you do it. And now that again looks
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: different for everybody. If you invest in a coach, great
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: but if you're just investing in a cheaper online program
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: that you're going to commit to, Okay, that process looks
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: different for everybody, but you got to figure out where
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: you are, what type of discipline you have now, and
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: what level of accountability you need?
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Does y I feel like I am getting a whooping
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: right now, Like I just it's like to get id.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: It's like I don't like, oh Jesus, you know, I
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: would want to straighten up. I Like, it's like that.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: But she's talking good though, because the reality is if
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: we are if we understand that we're here for a
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: purpose right at the end of the day, ultimately we're
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: in this earth space one to you know, worship God,
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: but also and we're a solution to somebody's problems. Come on.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: So if we are not taking the necessary steps, if
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: we're not prioritizing ourselves to be the best version, the
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: best shape, the best health that we can be in,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: then where our purpose is going to outlive us?
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Like, Like, that's that's what I'm hearing I say, is
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: like you have to you have to begin to prioritize you.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: And that's not selfishness, that's actually like self love, that
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: self care. That's that's doing the things that's necessary to
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: make sure that you can function fully, to be able
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: to do that that you actually love doing. You know,
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: that's what I just keep and I hear our heart
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: behind it too, man, Like you can't miss her heart
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: on this because it's just oozing out of her. Because
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: one thing about just ass I don't do no prescripted questions.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: This is like, did you get breathed? Did you get
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: any prescripted questions.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: To just show up? Okay?
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: And I was looking for it too, I'm like I'm
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: missing something.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: No, But I think this is so.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: I think this is needed because the thing about it
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: is we have to be real with ourselves. A lot
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: of us want the blessings of God but can't even
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: maintain it because we ain't breathing.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Man, we can't.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: We we we we one breath from a heart attack,
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: and we expecting God to do miracles side and wonders
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: for what.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: You're not healthy enough to maintain a.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Blessing just just as simple as that, you're not healthy enough,
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: and then you're so prideful that you're not even even
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: This is free game, right Bria is giving us free
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: game right now on Okay, she's she's literally saying, hey,
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: even if you don't have a coach, give yourself the honor,
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: honor yourself enough to wake up in the morning, wake
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: up or commit yourself to a time start to where
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: you just do some exercise with your body. Yeah, it's
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: just as simple as that. I'm not asking you to
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: gona hurt yourself. I'm not asking you to inconvenience yourself.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: I'm asking you to choose yourself. Yeah. So good, That's
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: what I hear you saying. This is yeah, you got anything.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, sometime that desert said she said that it's not selfish,
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: it's you actually loving yourself enough to do this. As
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: going back to powerful women, people with responsibilities, you put
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: so many other people ahead of yourself, and in the
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: back of your mind you feel like you have to
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: continuously pour into these people, and pour into your business
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: and do all of these things. And the moment that
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: you take something or yourself, the moment that you take
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: some time for yourself or step away or don't answer
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: a call or anything like that, you feel like you're
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: being selfish, when in reality, if you were to just
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: take that thirty sixty minutes even ninety minutes. Sometimes, if
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: you really need it, take that time to yourself away
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: from everything, pour back into yourself. You'll show up better
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: and you'll have way more to give to all of
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: the other responsibilities that you have. It's not selfish, it's
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: actually helping everybody else, because you're gonna be too annoyed
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: and frustrated and lower energy and just drain to even
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: pour into these people the way that you really want to.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Like you, guys are saying like you have a purpose,
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: and you are limiting your purpose and your ability to
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: actually do these things that you want to do because
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: you're not taking care of yourself. And like you said,
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: it's the little things. Get up in the morning, move
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: for five ten minutes in the morning, Take twenty minutes
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: out of your day to go for a walk and
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: to do some exercise and get some fresh air. You're
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: sitting at a desk all day, You're answering calls all day.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: You're trying to be here for all these people and
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: do all of these things and check off all these
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: things on your task list, and you feel like, excuse
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: my lane, I don't know if and cuts on here
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: because this is this is a godly podcast, But you
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: feel like, I don't know how free spirit we are
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: in here, but.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: We're not moved.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: I love it to be free breathe, but no, it's no,
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: you're right, You're you're you're absolutely right. So while we're
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: while we're telling people, you know, okay, it's time to move,
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: it's time to move, could you give the community like
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: a rundown if you had thirty minutes to if a
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: person had thirty minutes to work out, what's a go
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: to workout that you would provide.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: Them one go to workout? So I definitely am going
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: to recommend starting with mobility. So when you are warming up,
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: you do all these things. So any type of like
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: yoga movements or I wish I could kind of a demo,
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: but there's like some hit movements that you can do.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: You can do some up or downward dog. I think
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: pretty much everybody knows uper downward dog. But just try
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: to get some like five mobility exercises. And another issue
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: that I see is a lot of people are trying
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: to pack in so many different exercises in one session.
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: You don't have to hit every single muscle group, you
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: don't have to do all of that. You can hit one,
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: I say, four movements, especially in the thirty minute workout,
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: four exercises is all you need. So you got four
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: to five mobility exercises for your warm up, you got
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: four to five exercises for your actual workout, and then
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: you cool down, you stretch, you go for a quick
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: little walk, things like that. Squats for your main workout
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: is going to be a good one. Some rdls is
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: going to be a good one. You can add in
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: some pushups. Again, all of these things can be done
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: body weight. You don't necessarily need to go to the
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: gym and add all these If you're just starting out
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: and you are trying to time block and just dedicate
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: some amount of times to have some structure to it.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: Add in some cat cows, add in some hi range
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: of motion things, some squats, some RDL, some pushups, and
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: then go for a walk or if it's cold outside,
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: orf it's rein or if that's not an option, do
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: some light stretching, some spit down, reach for your toes,
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: some a butterfly stretch, just something. But the more that
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: you do these simple movements, the more that you just
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: start moving your body around, you'll you'll feel so much better.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: You'll have so much more motivation to actually go and
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: do these things. And these are these are simple movements
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: like you can sign on Instagram find a body weight
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: workout on Instagram. Now be careful, you know, because a
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: lot of those aren't. There are some people that are
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: doing some crazy stuff on there, but just simple movements.
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: Just just keep it simple as simple as possible.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: Keep it simple. Now bring clarification. What is RDL.
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: URDL stands for Romanian dead lift, So what that movement
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: is doing? So you know, a squad, you're you're going
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: all the way up and down. When you think of
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: an r D O, you think about movement at your
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: waist instead of at your your your knees, so you're
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: more so hinging for you know. I always use the
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: example of you know, when you're trying to close the
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: door with your butt and you don't want to like
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: reach back there, You're just trying to close the door
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: in that movement. That's a good example.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's good.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Does a ray what do you think about this? I
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: think Breed is pretty cool, man, She's pretty dope. I
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: just love, uh, I love when God shows me what
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: it looks like to conquer your mountain, m right.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: So you know, there's seven mountains of influence.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: And I believe that each one of us is called
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: to a space and it's important in this life journey
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: that we find ourselves in that space doing exactly what
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: God has called us to do individually in that particular space.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: So there's plenty of fitness coaches and you know, gyms
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: and things like that, but it's like, Okay, what do
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: you want me to do in this space? And I
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: think her heart speaks to where God is calling her
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: in this space that she's in. Yeah, you know what
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. It's not just about the workout, but it's
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: the whole person. It's like, yeah, I hear you saying
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: that you can't do this, but let's dig a little
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: deeper into why, because we can't allow this to be
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: a hindrance to where you need to go, you know.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: And so it's just been really it's been really inspiring.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: Even even being in the community with you and Kindle
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: and Jazz has been accountability for me. I actually I'm
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: not the best. I'm also have been an athlete like
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: all my life, right, So I love the gym, and
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: so for me, I'm lazy at home, Like that's what anything, Like,
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: I literally have to get like's praying, Like I used
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: to try to pray in a bed and I be sleep,
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: so I actually have to get up. I literally have
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: to get up and go somewhere to pray. And that's
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: kind the same thing with working out for me. I
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: have to get up and get out of the house
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: so I can be so I can give my attention
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: to that thing. But when I get up and I
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: get there, man, I feel so good. And then just
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: to see the results, Like as you're progressing and you
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: get to see the results, you're like, oh, man, like
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: my efforts are actually like working. So it just kind
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: of makes me more excited about staying consistent with it.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: So I've really enjoyed this conversation. I've enjoyed getting to
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: know miss Brianna, you know what I'm saying, getting to
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: know her heart, getting to know her story. And I
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: hope you guys too, have really been listening, finding yourself
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: somewhere in this conversation and just starting somewhere. If you
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: haven't started, if you're not starting, if you haven't started yet,
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: just find something to start with and build upon that
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: because man, life is worth living.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Listen that life is worth living.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: And the thing about it is we were talking about
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: value and valuing yourself not too long ago, and God like,
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: that's one of the things that God. I feel like
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: God cares about God cares about you enough, uh, and
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: he overly cares about you. He overly loves you, so
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: you can have enough love, some love to love yourself.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: What I mean by that is we don't even have
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: the capacity to love ourselves. Sometimes we don't love ourselves
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: enough to value ourselves to see that the importance of
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: I need to just move for like thirty minutes. And
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: people are not just out here saying it though. People
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: are dying because they're they're there there their heart. It's
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: something the Lord is bringing this to my attention. There
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: was something I heard not too long ago where when
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: when your heart is almost like you're all so overweight
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: or so unhealthy that you're damaging your heart, Like you
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: have to take care of your heart. Your heart when
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: your as your heart beats, it's proof of your living.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: When your heart stop, you dead, you know what I'm saying.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: So we have to manage our outside or our inside
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: can be taken care of as well, Like you know
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like it works, it works together. And
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: so Bri, I'm so excited that you decided to come
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: on here. I'm so glad to me.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: You cool people, man, you real cool.
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: So one of the things that we do here just
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: is we believe in giving our gifts the final word.
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: And so if there's anything that you wanted to make
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: sure that you left here on this platform before you left,
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: if there's anything that you want to clear up the floor.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Is your seas.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, First off, I want to go back to what
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: Desi Ray was saying when she was talking about she
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: used to be an athlete and she actually enjoyed going
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: to the gym and it's hard for her to actually
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: do stuff at home. She needs to be in that
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: space so she can give it her attention. I love
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: that she said she can give it her attention, and
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: that is something that a lot of us, even people
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: that move a lot. Today we talked a lot about
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: people that aren't really on that journey and how you
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: can get started with that journey. But even if you
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: are that person that starts and stops and finds issues
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: with being consistent, just go. Nobody has ever left the
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: gym saying, dang, I'm mad I did that work out.
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: You don't leave the gym. I'm saying that, like you
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: may before you go to the gym, you may say, oh,
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: I do not feel like doing this today. I don't
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: feel like going there. I don't feel like doing this.
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: But as soon as you just get up and go,
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: the more that you just create that discipline within yourself
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: to just get up and go. Even yeah, even if
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: you just spend ten minutes in there and you say, okay,
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: I'm just gonna go walk on the tradill. Now you
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: walk on the trip, but you are okay, maybe I'll
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: go lift some weights, maybe I'll go do this, and
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: then you by the end of that, you're there for
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: thirty forty five minutes and you feel way better. You're
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: more productive, you're more creative, you're going back and you're
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: pouring into your business. You just feel better. You do
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: not leave the gym saying I wish I wouldn't have
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: done that. Like there's never been a moment before that happens.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Now there's straight things like I'm seeing here thinking like, dang,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: she that's so right, Like you never leave. You might
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: go like dog, I don't feel like doing. But by
• 49:51
