March 24 Body Evaluation Fitness

Air, we did the video, correct this time. Uh, so you can see, uh, I get here, let me push all the way out. That’s pushed all the way out, but we’re still kinda, there’s not as jiggly. Now. This is just normal. There’s more light in here. We can see it. We’re not as Jake Lee, we’re tightening up our arms. We’re kind of getting more well-defined our pictorials are having more, more recurl um, I don’t know. Um, again, kind of clearing up, I guess. I wouldn’t know. Um, if you pay attention now, this, this could just be me. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just crazy. Before I was working out, I was starting to get gray hairs, right. By this time, uh, I was starting to get, like, I mean, you can see one or two, however, the more I’m working out, it’s kind of like I’m reversing the greatness.

I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous and crazy. However, the proof is in the pudding. I was grayer in December than I am now, if that makes any sense. So whatever I’m doing, it’s affecting my body. Right? Cause I’m getting one. My cardio’s better two. My, my figures looks better because my arms are kind of getting bigger. We’re worried about legs and just a little bit, uh, stomach’s getting more, a little bit more. Well-defined kind of do the side view. I’m still big. Right? I still got my love handles, which were worried about those. Um, but I’m feeling much better. Um, my flexibility is almost better than it’s ever been and I can easily touch my toes. Even when I wake up, uh, I’m sore all the time. Like they’re, they seem, I feel like I need to stretch, but um, every time I scratch, I’m getting closer and closer to like almost easily putting my whole Palm on the ground, which is good because I can tie my shoes without bending my knees easily if I so chose.

So my flexibility is great. My endurance is getting better and better their treadmills. So the internal parts of my body, right? Not just the, the physique and uh, there’s, I’m firming up shoulders and kind of filling back out. I don’t, I mean, I’m guessing if you remember for awhile, I didn’t notice any difference. So this to me is like finally, uh, all this hard work is finally starting to show dividends or pay dividends. So if you’ve made this far, or this is the first video, you see, check out the other videos, I’m going to hop in the shower, just cause I’m hot and I’m sorry, sweaty. And I’ve already made a nine, like, or I’ve made the other video and there’s only so much we can talk about my wife. So, Oh, well not quite because starting next month, which is basically we have one more evil in this section, which is next week, but then the week after that, we’ll then I’m going to start like going further into my legs because then we’re going to start working into my legs. So we’ll have to on the eval, we’ll have the upper half and then also the lower half. All right. See you next week.

Day Eighteen FYMM Fitness

Sorry about yesterday, I just wanted to reiterate you really don’t have any excuse. It’s 10 minutes. 10 minutes minimum, every single day, and it’ll change your perspective in your life. Now, after this run today, 10 minutes isn’t really enough. I know that sounds weird because three weeks ago, man. Whew. 10 minutes, whew. But now, I’m like, “Man, the 10-minute jog, I’m not feeling anything.” It’s really easy. Running backwards, again, really easy. My treadmill only goes six miles per hour, so I’m not sprinting, and it’s falling apart. I’ve said that four times now. So, I’m going to buy another treadmill in a couple of days. I’ll hopefully buy one that goes faster than six miles an hour, maybe it’s just the simple fact I’m not running fast enough. And then, maybe if I pump up the volume a little bit, it’ll be a little bit more difficult, in theory, hopefully. I mean, most likely. But let’s remember, come Monday, today’s Saturday, we start doing two sets of pushups and two sets of curls, and then, above the head. So, we need to remember we’re going to start adding that, but that’s after the run. And so, what I might do, because if I keep running, our treadmill’s going to break. So, I’m going to keep it at 10 minutes. Maybe run five minutes. Well, it’s just a song because I’m not looking at the time when I’m running backwards. So, I’m just guesstimating, oh, a song is long enough. Starting next week, two-a-days, I’ll start doing that. Make sure to remind yourself to stretch. Stretching is a very important key to all this. And with the drinking of water, the drinking of water is easy. The whole waking up and drinking lemonade, basically, pouring lemon in there. That’s not a habit yet. I need to get much better with that. I’m going to have to do a little more research on that because I mean, I have faith. Don’t get me wrong, but not that much faith. Yeah, it’s great. It’s difficult. Because I need to start drinking some apple cider vinegar as well because in the past, that’s helped on just speeding the process up, of everything up. So, do a little research on nutrition. But, let’s get ourselves up to a full workout first, and then, we’ll worry about nutrition. Next month is all about getting us to the four set reps and doing it easily, and adding a couple other things like sit ups and all that kind of good stuff. We still have a journey to get to more nutritional stuff. We got to get to the full workout first. So, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. But what I will be doing is just brainstorming a little bit. I got some great nutrition books. I’m building a library. So, with that, I’ll go over a few books trying to optimize myself because each person is different, obviously. But I’ll give tips and traits on what I’m learning for myself. But yeah, as of right now, it’s easy. It’s impossible for me to really convince myself not to work out now because it’s so easy. You know what I’m saying? And that’s where we want be, where it’s so easy, it’s second nature. And I feel good after it, gives me a little burst of energy, which another thing is what I’m working out for, just build my energy up so I can maintain optimal levels longer throughout the day. So, yeah. I’m enjoying it, having a good time. Hope you guys are at this point as well. And through the journey, keep on going.

Day Three

My apologies. I was supposed to make this video before I went on a run. Forgot, so, I’m making it after. But I want to bring something to the forefront. I lied a little bit. So, this is day number three for you guys, but in actuality, it’s a week, maybe day number 10 for me on running. And a funny thing happened this morning. I wanted to run. Midway through, I wanted to quit like every other day, but I ended up watching something, and it sparked my interest. And then, little by little, like I said, If you take my class, the way to accomplish any goal based on the Kaizen method, then you’ll understand what I’m saying. But don’t try to shock yourself into it.

If I try to do an hour today or start off with that, then it’d be ridiculous. But one day at a time, 10 minutes, 10 minutes, because the 10 minutes is something that I can convince myself to do. An hour? Yeah, right. I’ll never do an hour. That won’t work. It takes too long. But 10 minutes works. And then, after a while, it becomes a habit. And then, your body starts to yearn for it. It’s just like smoking cigarettes. At first, when you first started smoking your first cigarette, you didn’t want it. You know what I’m saying? It was probably like, “Oh God, it’s terrible.” But then, over a little bit, are you still smoking? Or even beer. The taste of beer is terrible. Or energy drinks. They’re terrible. They don’t taste good. Right? But after we drank and drank, and drank, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink them, then we acquire the taste for it.

It’s the same thing with exercise. At first, the taste of it, running on a treadmill’s absolutely miserable. Chests are burning. You know what I’m saying? Spitting every five minutes because you’re hocking up loogies. You know what I’m saying? Wanting to quit. But if you continuously do it little by little, mind you, it’s only 10 days for me. So, it’s not like I’ve been doing this for months on end. But today was like a turning point. We’ll find out tomorrow if I’m motivated tomorrow. But after the fact, I feel motivated, and I want to do more. I might want to go to the gym or I got a little mini gym at the house. So, we’ll see tomorrow. And maybe, we’ll give it two more days. If I still feel like this after, man, let’s do a little bit more.

This 10 minutes isn’t enough. Right? It’s not as tiring as it was in the beginning. Well, then, maybe we’ll add some pushups. We’ll do some pushups and some curls. Do two sets of 10, of each. I don’t know if I’m going to do it. I’m not there yet. But if I feel like I do right now in two days, then what? Today’s Thursday. So, Friday, Saturday, then, we’ll go Friday, Saturday, Sunday of running. But if I feel good, this good Monday, then we’re implement a little bit more. Maybe run for 12 minutes, and then, maybe just do 10 pushups and 10 curls. Or whatever it is. Just find a little something else that I’m going to add to the system. All right? And we’ll go from there.

Day Two

Day number two, nothing really to write home about. I’m thinking of how I can film each little session. As of right now, it’s really only 10 minutes a day, just so I can get my mind and my body used to it and enjoy the 10 minutes. Mind you, because I mean, even today, I want to convince myself I don’t have 10 minutes. So we have to go through our mental toughness, mental blockades, whatever we have. 

To have mental toughness to go through our mental blockades because literally, I have argued in my mind longer than 10 minutes about how I can not find 10 minutes. In actuality, look, I’ve already talked for one minute, so I’m already 10% done. And if we were to count the other little video, which was probably about a minute and a half, that’s 30% done in three minutes. Think about that, 30% done. How many of us can talk and talk and talk for more than three minutes, but then convince ourselves that we don’t have 10 minutes to work out in a day? 

Convince yourself you do. Convince yourself you don’t have time to do the other stuff and convince your mind and your matter that you want to do this and that you’re going to do it for 10 minutes every day until you get used to it. And then after the 10 minutes, we’ll worry about something else. It’s the Kaizen approach, a class about it and everything. All right. See you on the other side. Talk to you in the morning, after I do these 10 minutes.

Day One

So part of my goal, besides just creating a library and creating a whole bunch of different websites for your guys’ enjoyment is to get myself in better shape. I have my own personal reasons why I want to do this, but one of the main reasons is I walked over to my neighbor’s house and I was winded. It’s not even that far. That’s never happened to me before in my entire life. I used to be much more active. part of my problem is smoking.

I had this novel idea I was going to quit smoking cigarettes. So I started rolling the tobacco out of the cigars from rolling a blunt. I’m thinking it backfired on me because it’s way harsher. And my wind isn’t quite there as it used to be. So my challenge for myself and the journey that I’m bringing you guys with me is getting myself back in shape.

Now, like I said, I’m not in good shape at the moment, might be better than you or worse than you. We all start on our own journey. We’re all starting at our own spot. So what I’m going to be doing is we’re starting with this little treadmill. It doesn’t go very fast. You can get it at, I’m pretty sure, Amazon. I’ll have a link down below. And we’re going to be doing this just for 10 minutes. Until it becomes second nature to where I’m excited to do it. Because that’s the same as doing a habit. In order to create a habit, you have to continuously do it over, and over, and over, and over again until your body’s like, “Wow. It feels funny that I don’t do it.” So every day, 10 minutes. And little by little, I’ll bring updates on the new little exercises I do or whatever. Yeah. So enjoy the journey. I don’t know what else to say.
