Episode Transcript

Kevin Tejada: We don't all have the same 24 hours in a day. You ever heard someone say that (00:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: when they're making excuses for not doing something? (00:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I always wonder what they mean by that. Like, do you mean that you feel like (00:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you have 23 hours or something? (00:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I know most people don't say that. They say, I don't have enough free time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. (00:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: The thing is, we do all have the same 24 hours in a day, but we all use them differently. (00:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And the people who use them poorly fall into the time poverty trap. (00:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: They think that there's never Enough (00:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: time To worry about their health Their (01:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: fitness or other important things They think (01:04):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: oh in terms of time Broke Now I'll (01:06):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: give a disclaimer as well Before I start complaining about these people If you're (01:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a parent Let's say a single parent You might be an exception Because that shit's (01:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: fucked Although even then I will say in terms of just exercise Or eating decently like (01:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: bring your kid into it have them fucking exercise with you use them as a weight (01:27):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: cook with them teach them something while you're cooking you can still do it (01:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: but that's like the only situation, (01:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: where i'm like you know what you might just be fucked i don't (01:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: know if you're a mother you have like you have like four kids (01:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: and you have no no one help you you know what you might just be fucked i don't (01:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: know like there's definitely a way to still make it work even in that case but (01:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i don't if you have the sanity left so i don't know and i hesitate i hesitate (01:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: to say this stuff because then someone who's listening is gonna be like oh yeah (01:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i'm justified not doing shit i got kids yeah. (02:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Come on i'm just saying if you're a single parent the shit's fucked i'm sure (02:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you can find a way though i believe in you but shit's extra fucked for you i'm (02:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: just saying or another case hypothetically back in the day i'm sure this might (02:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: happen these days but i'm talking like a hundred years ago or more. (02:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Early days America, mid days America, whatever. (02:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You had those immigrants who came in, they had like fucking five kids. (02:22):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: They worked at the factory for 18 hours. (02:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Yeah, that's tough. Yeah, fair, fair enough. (02:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But we're not talking about these cases. And if there's some other case that (02:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: comes up, shut the fuck up. You understand what I'm saying? (02:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Okay, you can make time. That's going to be the general point. (02:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If you're too dumb or you're too mad, just click off right now. (02:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But just remember, you can make some time. (02:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But let's get into a lot of people, especially busy adults. They're thinking, (02:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: oh, man, I have no time to do anything. (02:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But the interesting thing is when they get down, they want to decompress. (02:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: They want to chill out. and by that I usually mean like scrolling on social (02:59):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: media or watching some YouTube videos or whatever which not a problem on their (03:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: own I mean the social media thing is has mental mental consequences but you (03:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: know chilling out watching some YouTube watching some anime whatever, (03:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: that's totally cool and badass right but if you're doing that and you say you (03:18):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: do not have time you're bullshitting yourself. (03:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: What you mean to say is you don't want to prioritize this thing with the time that you do have. (03:27):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: There have been times back a couple of years ago when I was really heavy into (03:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: playing video games a lot. (03:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Here's the thing. When I was losing weight, the hundred pounds, (03:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: when they were coming off like 15 years ago, and I was starting that, here's the thing. (03:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I was actually a couch potato, except when I exercised. (03:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Like I would literally go to the gym, go exercise, then go to my room and fucking (03:52):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: play video games, waste time on the internet, eat. That's it. (03:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So my point is I prioritize health and fitness from a long time ago and that stayed true. (04:02):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: It stays true today. I remember that there was a time where my schedule was really shitty. (04:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Like four years ago, I had another office job where I would sometimes be driving (04:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: home. It'd be nighttime. (04:22):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You know that feeling when you're done with work, but the sun's down. (04:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: It's like, fuck, today's basically over. (04:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I didn't have that much time. I wanted to go home, just play some games or watch something. (04:27):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But I'm like, today is the day I have to exercise. So I'm going to drive to (04:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: the gym and fucking do it. (04:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If that means I have just like half an hour when I get back home. (04:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Well, that's how it has to be. (04:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And there were even some times where I was driving home. I had to drive home (04:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: with my girlfriend at the time. (04:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I mean, she's still my girlfriend, but at the time I had to drive with her. (04:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And she's like, I don't want to go to the gym. I'm like, fucking Christ, (04:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: are you serious? So I had to drive her back home, then go to the gym, (04:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: then exercise, then go back home. (05:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So yeah, I, it's, it would have been easy for me to say, yeah, I just want to go home. (05:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And you know, with my last two hours of the day, let me just watch some stuff, chill out. (05:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And that's, that would have been me falling to the time poverty trap. (05:12):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: What's better? Time tightness trap time. I like, I like alliteration. (05:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't know what I'm going to name this episode. (05:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: We'll see, but I'll use them interchangeably. Time poverty trap, (05:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: time tightness trap, the mental trap of you (05:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: thinking you don't have time my point is you you (05:29):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: do have time unless for (05:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: some god forsaken reason there are things that (05:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you you have to do until you have like even (05:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: less than eight hours to sleep at that point fine go (05:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: to sleep but you don't live that life don't kid yourself and (05:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i'm only shaming people just a little bit i don't want people to (05:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: feel like i'm talking down fuck you you're like lazy piece of shit what (05:52):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i'm more saying is please look more deeply (05:55):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: into your time and see where it can (05:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: be better used because i guarantee you have more time than you think you do (06:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: it's just that you're using it on other things for example i know someone who (06:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: they don't like you know they have a specific goal and i told them many times (06:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: hey you need to track your calories now luckily there's not a client of mine (06:13):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: because i would have fucking kicked them to the curb a while ago, if that were the case. (06:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But there's someone I know personally, they're like, oh, I don't want to count. (06:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't feel like counting calories or whatever. Like it takes too much time. (06:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And first of all, that's, that's fucking absurd. (06:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Tracking your food does not take much time at all. But what I did was, (06:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: okay, how much time does it take you? (06:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: They were like, I don't know, like 10, 15 minutes, two things. (06:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: First of all, that's not a lot of time for the return that you get knowing what (06:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you're intaking, that's fucking great. (06:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Secondly, it does not take that much time. They're just throwing out a fucking (06:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: number out there because they don't track their calories. (06:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Thirdly, they use those same 10, 15 minutes to watch an extra YouTube video. So I'm thinking... (06:55):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: What? And this is how most people think. Now here, here's, here's something. (07:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If you're like, you know what? I have the time. I just don't care. (07:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You're awesome. I mean, you're not going to live as long as I want you to, (07:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: but that's fucking sick. (07:13):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You acknowledge it. You're like, Hey, yeah, I don't want to spend the time on that. (07:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: It's not a priority. You know what? Fair enough. Cool. Very badass. (07:18):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But if you're in denial, that's not cool. Now, (07:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: some people feel like they don't have enough time because they're you know (07:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: the work culture sucks you have to commute you got to go to (07:29):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: work and then when you go to work for some jobs they're like (07:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: hey i'm contacting you on slack or teams or (07:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: whatever hey you you got time like no here's a (07:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: tip by the way anything work related if possible (07:40):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a lot of these like messaging types of (07:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: things they have a do not disturb mode so set your hours (07:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: like after five or whatever it just does not alert (07:50):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you until the next day and if not there are (07:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: apps that can accomplish that for you or you can just manually turn (07:56):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: off notifications if you have android if you (08:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: have iphone get fucked i guess because apple doesn't want you to do anything that (08:02):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: would benefit you or because or you know be customizable so you're just have (08:06):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: to deal with it i guess but point being some people think they don't have a (08:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: lot of time because their work keeps encroaching on their fucking personal life (08:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: which is annoying and some people think they just have to be busy in general (08:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: like oh i don't have free time my calendar is booked on purpose. (08:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I forgot who said this. And with the power of editing, I tried really hard to (08:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: look it up. But anyway, this quote I heard one time, it's pretty nice. (08:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Life exists. Well, I think I'm butchering it. But anyway, life exists between (08:34):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: calendar appointments, which means like the times you're not forced to do something (08:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you don't necessarily want to do. (08:43):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: That's when your life is basically, right? So if you try to fill that up, (08:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you're not going to have a life or time for things. (08:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Not counting appointments for fun stuff, of course. (08:52):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But yeah, some people think they got to be real busy and then they neglect other (08:55):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: really important things. (08:59):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: A lot of people, they fall into this time poverty trap because not that they're (09:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: lacking actual time, it's because they feel like they don't have control over (09:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: the schedule or they're pissing away their time. (09:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And here's the thing, you don't (09:12):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: actually need that much time to care about your fitness and nutrition. (09:13):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Like I gave the example with this person who thought tracking their calories (09:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: took 15 fucking minutes per day. (09:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And if they're listening to this, they might be upset with me, but whatever. (09:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Some people think, oh, yeah, the gym takes two hours. Not really. (09:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: There are some days where I'm like really efficient in the gym. (09:29):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I'm like, huh, I thought the hour number would be one bigger by now. That's crazy. (09:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But no, I'm actually just done. That's cool. Now, granted, I'm fairly efficient (09:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: in the gym because I focus on movement patterns instead of specific exercises. (09:43):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So I don't have to waste time waiting for, you know, a specific equipment or (09:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: whatever. And if you want to (09:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: learn more about that, check the description for that fun little course. (09:52):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And as a result, I'm usually, it takes like an hour or less for me to work out (09:56):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: depending on what I'm doing. (10:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Obviously, it doesn't count getting to the gym, changing, blah, blah, blah, blah. (10:02):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: The actual exercise, though, it's pretty efficient. (10:06):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Most people think you need two hours to exercise. And that's because they're (10:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: fucking, they're following this bodybuilding shit. (10:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Where they're like, oh man, I'm going to do an exercise for every fucking part of my upper body today. (10:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Yeah buddy seven cents for my fucking triceps shoulders (10:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: biceps forearms chest upper chest lower fuck off a lot of people think that (10:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: needs to be done it doesn't so sometimes when they say i don't have time they're (10:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: saying that under a false assumption that the time they need is more than the (10:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: time that they have i think i'm gonna cut out usually in these episodes i have like a (10:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: kind of victim spotlight, (10:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you know, like people who are most at risk of this, uh, this issue that I talk about. (10:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And I feel like every single fucking time I do it, this is the 50th fucking episode. (10:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I only started this format a couple dozen ago, I think, but. (10:59):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Basically, every time this most at risk comes up, it's beginners who don't know better. (11:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: That's basically what it fucking is. So I think I'm going to cut this shit out at least this time. (11:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So, you know, weave it into something else. But anyway, if you're wondering, (11:13):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: oh, the people who people who are most hurt by this. I'm not saying that this time. (11:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You know who it is. It's you. So let's play devil's advocate. (11:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I genuinely don't have time. My schedule was patched from morning to night. (11:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I doubt it. I gave copious examples of this actually probably being the case (11:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: earlier on but like I said you can usually always find a way shit even if you're (11:34):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: working a cubicle too you can get some squat I mean it's not gonna be comfortable (11:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: but like if you literally have no other time it's fucking squat in your cubicle (11:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you know air squats are good some push-ups maybe I don't know, (11:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: just saying that's you probably do have time you just want to use it in a different (11:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: way which is cool but don't lie to yourself if I can't do a full hour at the (11:52):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: gym it's not worth it I kind of get where this is coming from, (11:56):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: like if you can't get a full body workout in, then it's not great. (12:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But listen, if you don't have time, get what you can get. (12:04):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And also it doesn't take a full hour. Not if you're focusing on just the patterns. (12:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Meal prepping and eating healthy takes too long compared to takeout. (12:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Well, too long is an opinion. (12:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Does it take longer? Sometimes. I mean, depending what you're prepping, if you go to a place, (12:18):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: then have it, you know, waiting a drive-thru (12:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: or whatever then that could take longer if you're (12:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: talking about delivery yeah that's faster than anything of (12:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: course but here's the thing if you're having delivery there (12:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: i mean i was gonna say there are plenty of healthy options but there (12:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: aren't so uh choose chipotle whenever you (12:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: can i guess that's pretty good yeah i guess if you (12:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: can't meal prep order chipotle that's that's my recommendation for (12:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: that this uh this devil here and uh yeah (12:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: meal prepping doesn't take that long just honestly here's the (12:50):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: thing what helps me figure out (12:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: what you like and see if you can optimize it okay i've made my taste way simpler (12:56):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: recently because i don't like cooking for like two hours my girlfriend does (13:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: that she cooks for like an hour an hour and a half or something there's pots (13:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: pans fucking the whole sink is fucked then it takes extra time to clean that. (13:12):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And I'm like, listen, the food may come out good, but I can get pretty good (13:15):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: food with much less preparation, much less time. So I'm going to just do that. (13:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I'm going to simplify my taste, not remove what I like out of my life, (13:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: just simplify it. Swap things around, whatever. (13:27):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Make it work for you. If you want to eat that good stuff, maybe, (13:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: maybe takeout would be best for you if you want all that preparation without (13:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: having to spend the time. I don't know. (13:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If you're going to cook, you should simplify. Don't fucking waste the whole (13:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: day. Because then you really won't have time. (13:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I'll focus on my health when things slow down at work. Things are never going to slow down. (13:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I mean, they may slow down, but the thing is, a couple things wrong with that. (13:50):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: One, if you do wait for them to slow down, you're just going to stop when they're (13:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: not slow anymore. Second, this is just an excuse. Don't kid yourself. (13:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Third, if you're not going to do it now when you're somewhat busy, (14:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you're probably never going to do it. Let's be real. (14:06):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If it's this easy to dissuade you, you're probably just not going to do it. (14:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So don't say that you are. Just say, yeah, I'm not going to do it. It's too much. (14:12):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Fourth, if you are busy and you can still make it work by being smart about it, guess what? (14:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: When things do slow down, holy fuck, you're going to have a lot more time while (14:22):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: keeping up the habit you started while you were busy. That's sick. (14:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Shortcuts and quick fixes are the only way for people like me. (14:30):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't know who the, I don't know. This is stupid. (14:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't want to address this devil. that's dumb only way for people like you (14:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: what are you talking about you mean like lipo or something, (14:40):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: liposuction i don't know i don't agree with you man i think you can instead (14:44):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: of shortcuts and quick fixes you can shorten the time of other things that are (14:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: maybe wasting your time and get quicker workouts and possibly that's probably (14:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: better for you and the last one people who make time for fitness must not have (14:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: real responsibilities. (15:02):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I'm not going to lie. I work from home, obviously. When I'm at the gym, (15:04):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: sometimes at like 11 a.m., sometimes I think, do these people not have jobs? (15:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You know, ignoring the irony of me being there. (15:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: True. If you don't have a lot of responsibilities, you can devote a lot more time for this. (15:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But here's the thing. A lot of people who are really fit, pretty healthy, (15:21):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: they're busy as shit. They just have different priorities than you. (15:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: This is like a butthurt devil. They don't have re-responsibility. (15:29):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: It's like those people say, oh, they're fit. They must not have kids. (15:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You know, they're fit parents, right? (15:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Anyway, let's get us into some stats over here. (15:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Over half of Americans cite lack of time as a primary reason for not exercising regularly. (15:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Real reason is they don't want to prioritize that time. They would rather use (15:48):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: it on TikTok or Netflix or jerking off or whatever. (15:52):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Here's what I say to them exercise or track your food (15:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: whatever meal prep first and then jerk off (16:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: on tiktok whatever okay see if you got time for it maybe (16:02):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you have less but you probably don't need that much time to do your little quick (16:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: fix thing you know your quick little hit because let's be real whether you spend (16:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: 10 minutes on on shit like that or an hour it's going to be the same thing like (16:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you're just going to remember like none of it so who cares fuck that focus on something that'll last, (16:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: 80% of people overestimate The time required for a workout They think they need (16:25):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: 60 minutes Or more, one hour Really you need I mean it depends honestly What you're doing. (16:29):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I remember one time I was like just counting the actual workout stuff. (16:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I think I was done in like 26 minutes. (16:43):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: These days I take a little more, not quite an hour, but a little more because, (16:45):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you know, I'm trying to accomplish more stuff, but you don't need like literally (16:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: getting the movements down. (16:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: You got the push, pull, hinge, knee dominant, whatever. (16:55):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If you superset as well, it's, it's, it's pretty quick. (16:59):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: About half of adults say they always feel rushed and they rarely have time to relax. (17:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Some of this might be because of their lifestyle, feels extra busy, stuff like that. (17:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Saying no to things is a pretty good skill. Only about one-fourth of U.S. (17:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Adults get their recommended amount of exercise each week, with the main barrier (17:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: being lack of time when they don't accomplish that. (17:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I think that's kind of high, 23%. Get exercise each week, that's crazy. (17:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Good on them though about one third of americans (17:32):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: say they don't have time to cook healthy meals but average (17:35):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: meal prep is honestly like depends what you're doing (17:38):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: of course but you can get this done in like half an hour or (17:41):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: less just cook a meal but bigger and (17:43):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: then portion it out and put in the fridge it's not (17:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: crazy 80 percent of about 80 percent gym (17:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: memberships go unused with not enough time as (17:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a top reason for them not showing up that was (17:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: one of the funniest things when i used to work at blink fitness and (18:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: equinox mostly blink fitness because you (18:04):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: know the people there paid less so less patience more (18:07):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: complaints that kind of shit i remember overhearing a (18:10):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: lot of the front desk conversations about people wanting (18:13):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: to cancel their membership and a lot of them said i don't go like i haven't (18:16):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: been here in two months why are you charging me for for this month which is (18:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: crazy to say not only do people not realize that for a gym you're paying for (18:24):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: access not usage so it doesn't matter if you go once or once a month or every (18:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: day it doesn't matter you pay the same. (18:34):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: But it's also sad how they're just saying hey i'm giving (18:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: up i don't want to do this because usually (18:39):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: never a timed thing let's be fucking real unless the (18:43):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: gym is like super far away and they can't reasonably fit it in but (18:46):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: usually it's not you know a time thing because if that were the case but I just (18:49):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: said they wouldn't have signed up in the first place probably just signed up (18:53):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: for you know New Year's and never showed up and just saying I don't have time (18:57):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: it's not that I don't have the discipline to come or I'm too lazy I don't have time sure. (19:01):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Studies show that people who schedule short, regular exercise sessions are two (19:09):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: and a half times more likely to stick with their routines than people waiting (19:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: for the perfect time. There's no perfect time. (19:17):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: What you can do instead of pretending that exercise takes more than an hour (19:19):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: is just schedule smaller ones and get them done maybe more frequently or something like that. (19:22):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: It doesn't even have to be more frequently. Just do something. (19:28):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Just make it shorter. Make it work. (19:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: If you don't have that much time, lower the amount of time then. (19:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: This one's interesting. About two, I mean, this is obvious too About two thirds (19:36):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: of people who report Having no time for exercise Spend at least 30 minutes Daily (19:40):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: on activities That don't further their goals That means they're on That means (19:46):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: they're scrolling on their phones, (19:51):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Which, by the way It's not great by itself, but if you've done Everything you (19:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: need to do for the day Fucking whatever, okay But if you're going to say, (19:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: I don't have time And you're doing that, you're full of shit. (20:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And that's not good so how do you survive this (20:05):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: here's here's the tip honestly you probably do (20:08):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: have time but here's how you figure it out for real this is (20:11):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: like the only tip i'm gonna give do a time audit there's (20:14):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: a specific one by dr david burns you can look up about what your tasks are what (20:18):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you did for each or what you plan to do for each hour of the day and then what (20:23):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: you actually did for the hour of the day so i recommend that one or even easier (20:26):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: literally as you're going through (20:31):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: the day write what you're doing for each hour or half hour, whatever. (20:33):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: At the end of the day, look, hmm, what time was I just bullshitting or what (20:37):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: time could be changed or maybe condensed or something like that? (20:42):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And then you'll figure out, oh, I do have some time here and there. (20:47):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Maybe I can combine those little here's and there's and do something useful. (20:50):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Like track my fucking food for the two minutes it takes. (20:54):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: So do a time audit. However you want to do that, it's up to you, (20:58):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: but you got to do one. You got to figure it out. (21:00):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: And if you don't, you're not going to make it. Let me know in the comments. (21:03):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: Hey, actually, actually, actually, I actually do not have time. (21:06):
undefined

Kevin Tejada: All right, bro. Anyway, see you next time. (21:11):
