Speaker 1 (00:00):
The 8 things fit and healthy people have in common.
After being on my own fitnessjourney for the last 10 years
and working with over 500 people, and also being surrounded by
other amazing fitness and healthcoaches and other fit and
healthy people, I've seen thatthere's a lot of common traits
(00:22):
that these people tend to have.
Not only do I see these traitsover and over and over again,
but also these are the thingsthat we like to teach our
clients in order for them to notonly see great results, but to
actually sustain them.
These are the eight things thatI find to be the most important
and most common amongst themost healthy and fit people, not
(00:44):
only inside the gym, butoutside the gym as well.
So for each of these eightthings, I'm going to break down
in detail what they are and howyou can ultimately implement
them or build these things intoyour lifestyle and, if done
properly, being able to havethese eight skills and habits
(01:04):
and things in your life, I canalmost guarantee you're going to
not only see, but be able tosustain success on your own
journey.
So let's dive in to these eightthings that healthy and fit
people have in common.
Number one may be prettyobvious, but it's something a
lot of people lack, which isconsistency.
(01:26):
Consistency does not mean younever miss a workout.
Consistency does not mean youare hitting a certain calorie or
macro goal every single day.
Consistency means that youdon't go a long period of time
without doing something thatcontributes to your health.
So missing a workout is okay.
(01:48):
Having a day where your mealsdon't go as planned or you don't
eat according to your normalroutine is okay.
What's most important is thatwhen you fall off, when you have
those days that are not sogreat, those days that are not
perfect by any means, you canget back on track without giving
(02:08):
yourself a hard time.
You can get back on track thenext day.
That is the power ofconsistency.
The power of consistency is notbeing perfect, but being okay,
with things going off thescheduled plan, going off
routine and then getting rightback on.
I always like to tell peoplethe only way to truly fail is to
(02:28):
give up.
So unless you actually justgive up and stop trying for an
extended period of time, you'rebeing consistent.
So being consistent really justlooks like you're continually
moving the ball forward, even onyour hard days, even after your
hard days.
That is the power ofconsistency and it compounds
(02:49):
over time.
It's just like investing Earlyon.
When you're just investinglittle bits here and there,
you're really not buildingextreme wealth or anything crazy
.
But if you look over timeyou'll see this wealth will
build more and more and more.
And that's the power of beingconsistent.
The longer you can beconsistent for without giving up
(03:10):
, the better your results willbe over time.
Number two is finding joy ineating healthy and cooking Now
at first, when you are goingfrom a diet that's highly
processed or you're eating outall the time, to be honest, I
know for me personally I didn'tfind too much joy in eating
healthy.
But I'll tell you somethingcrazy.
(03:31):
It's like when I first startedto cut out fast food for my life
.
I really started to focus oneating more clean foods and
started cooking more.
Number one I sucked at cooking.
I made a lot of meals that wereabsolutely disgusting, but over
time I learned to figure out mytaste buds.
I learned to figure out likeman when I put this seasoning on
(03:53):
or this sauce or tried cookingthe meal this way, like.
I started to really enjoy it,barbecuing and putting stuff on
my Traeger and smoking meats andI really found a passion for
actually cooking different stylemeals and really found what
works for me Ultimately.
Right now you may be in a placewhere you don't really cook much
(04:15):
at all and you may not evenlike your own cooking, and
that's okay.
But I promise you, over timeyou start to find that acquired
taste that you really enjoy.
And let me tell you, like now,when I go eat out, it's not even
close to the meals I cook.
I'm not that amazing of a cookby any means at all, but I love
(04:35):
my food, I love my cooking.
I enjoy cooking because, numberone, it tastes really good, but
number two, I feel good.
One, it tastes really good, butnumber two, I feel good Because
I'll tell you this now when Ieat out, unfortunately, my
digestion is not the same.
It is not enjoyable to sit onthe toilet after eating out
anymore, and I know that mightbe graphic and probably not at
(04:57):
all what you wanted to hear orwhat you expected, but I have to
be honest with you I don'tenjoy it.
For that reason I don't feelgood when I eat out.
My body doesn't like it andbecause of that I found a lot of
joy in cooking, making my ownmeals.
I enjoy eating healthy becauseI love how it makes me feel.
Number three is settingrealistic goals but not
(05:19):
obsessing over them.
A big mistake people make whenthey first start is they set
these big, lofty goals and theybecome so hyper-focused and
obsessed on reaching thatspecific goal.
I want to hit this specificweight on the scale.
I want to weigh this amount, orI want to look this certain way
.
Well, what happens is peoplecreate these bad relationships
(05:39):
with the scale.
They create these badrelationships with the mirror
and ultimately, when they don'tlook that way or they don't see
those results, they becomefrustrated, upset and end up
giving up.
That is not what you want tohappen on this journey.
What you want to do is you wantto set these goals and be okay
with them taking longer than youexpect.
You want to set these goals andknow that eventually you'll get
(06:02):
there, but really falling inlove with the process is what
you should become obsessed with.
What you should become obsessedwith is hitting those daily
targets, those action items.
Those goals are likely outcomegoals, meaning that you have no
direct influence of the actualoutcome.
What you actually have controlover is the actions that you do
on a daily basis to get to theoutcome.
(06:23):
And if you win every day byhitting those action items, the
outcome will be inevitable.
You will hit that outcome, youwill get to those goals and it's
just a matter of time.
So if you can have patiencealong with these goals, I have
no doubt you'll get there.
Number four I'm going to keepshort and sweet.
They avoid fad diets.
(06:45):
If the specific diet that youare trying right now or you're
going to attempt has a name, youprobably shouldn't do it.
More often than not, people trythe keto, they try the fasting,
they try the this, the that,the, whatever it may be.
More often than not, if thediet has a name, you will not be
able to stick to it for life.
(07:05):
Because if you're on the ketodiet and you go to your kid's
birthday party and they havecake and you want a damn slice
of cake, go eat the cake or justbe miserable, and that's okay
too.
But at the end of the day, ifyou truly want to sustain your
results, you want to find thediet that is best for you.
You need to do the diet you canstick to, you need to do the
diet you can stick to and thediet you can stick to is
(07:28):
probably a combination, a sweetspot, of all the little things
that you've learned from maybetrying all these diets.
So what we need to do is findsomething that fits your
lifestyle, something that fitsyour daily routine, something
that fits into what you enjoy,what you like, and that probably
includes carbs and thatprobably includes eating
breakfast, and that probablyincludes having freedom and
(07:50):
being able to eat out, go tosocial events, have date nights,
have a drink here and there,and that should be okay.
What you don't want to do iscut out or find or do anything
extremely restrictive, because Ipromise you it will not be
sustainable, it will not beenjoyable and you're eventually
not going to stick to it, whichcould lead to the downfall of
(08:11):
you not feeling healthy or younot looking fit, which is why
you're ultimately watching thisvideo.
Number five is placing value onthe effects of exercise that are
not how you look.
Placing value on things such ashow you feel when you work out,
like.
(08:32):
Personally, when I work outafter a workout, by the way,
most days I go into the gym, Ido not do not always feel like
oh, I'm going to have a greatworkout today.
I just feel so energized, liketo be honest.
More often than not I'm in thegym.
I'm like, oh gosh, here we goagain.
And then let me tell you, themost amazing thing is after my
workouts.
I feel so refreshed, I feel soenergized, I feel so amazing
(08:57):
after my workouts and that's whyI still do it, that's why I
still show up, that's why Istill put in the work in the gym
, because I know how amazing Ifeel after.
I also love how my joints feel,so I can hop into a squat any
time of the day.
I also love the energy boost Iget for the remainder of my day.
I usually work out in themornings or mid-afternoon and
(09:18):
that's when it gives me thatenergy boost to continue my day.
And I also love the effects ithas on my mental health, my
confidence.
As many of you can probablyrelate to, one of the amazing
benefits of exercise is theincrease of your own confidence,
your own self-worth.
One of the main reasons Istarted working out about 10
years ago was to increase myconfidence.
(09:39):
I wasn't comfortable in my ownskin, I wasn't comfortable with
who I was, but when I startedworking out, I started to unveil
this confidence I had withinmyself.
I started to become not onlymore comfortable in my own skin,
but I started to become morecomfortable in my everyday life.
I started to figure out who Iwas, why I was doing the things
(10:00):
I was doing, and I started to bemore comfortable in other
situations.
So don't think exercise is onlyabout how you look.
Exercise is so much more thanthat and if you shift that focus
to the other things aside fromhow you look, chances are you're
going to look pretty damn good.
Number six is separating yoursocial time from your workout
(10:21):
time.
The most fit and healthy peopleI know don't go to the gym to
go socialize with their friendsor to go chitter chatter with
all the people inside the gym.
I know sometimes people may askyou questions, you can get
distracted, but I'll tell youthis the most healthy and fit
people I know tend to get in thegym.
(10:42):
They get their work done andthey leave, and maybe after they
have the social hour or aftertheir workout is done inside the
gym, then they can go talk.
But most importantly, what Ifind is that the people that are
most healthy, most fit and mostsuccessful on their own
journeys just like many of myclients is they go into the gym,
they put their earphones in,they're locked in, they go get
(11:03):
their workout done and they getout, so they're not wasting a
ton of time at the gym.
They're there for 45 minutes anhour, maybe an hour and 15 if
they stretch after, butultimately they get in, they get
out, they take care of businessand that's what helps them see
success on their journeys.
Number seven is allowing life todictate their workouts and not
(11:24):
the other way around.
Too often I see people early ontheir journey moving all these
things around in their life justso they can go get their
workout done.
When the more successful peopleI know adapt their workout to
their lifestyle and the thingsthat they have going on.
If they have a really stressfulday and they still want to go
(11:44):
get their workout in, they knowhow to back off and go a little
easier and to listen to theirbodies, to adapt the workout to
their lifestyle or theirday-to-day life.
Being able to mold and shapetheir workouts, their routines,
into their daily life is whatmakes these people successful.
During the busiest times of mylife, I have gone from working
(12:07):
out two hours in the gym threedays a week to I'm doing 20
minute workouts every day.
I've gone and changed myworkouts to adapt to the
different phases or seasons I'min in my life, to make sure I
can still be consistent.
Working out looks different foreveryone.
You may go through a phasewhere just going on an hour, 30
minute, 15 minute walk afterevery meal may be the thing that
(12:29):
you need to do in that currentseason or phase of your life.
But ultimately, adapting yourworkouts to your lifestyle is
going to be much more effectivelong-term strategy compared to
someone that is just trying tostick to this rigid, strict,
straightforward routine thatthey have to do every week or
all hell breaks loose.
That's not what we want to do.
What we want to do is find aroutine that we can mold and
(12:52):
shape to our lifestyle.
And, last but not least, lastbut not least, number eight is
moderation.
Do not overdo it and do notovercomplicate it.
Finding balance, synergy withyour lifestyle is the most
important factor.
Being able to have themoderation of still having
(13:17):
things that you love integratedinto your routine, integrated
into your life, is essential.
You should still be able to eatthe cookie.
You should be able to go onthat date night, have the drink,
enjoy the foods that you love,while still seeing results,
(13:39):
while still being consistent onyour journey.
This also goes for your workouts.
Your goal in the gym should notbe to kill yourself every time.
You should not walk out of thegym feeling like you just got
beat up.
Leaving the gym energized, in agood mood, are the things that
you should experience.
Leaving the gym ready for therest of your day, ready to have
(14:02):
an amazing day.
Those are the things that youshould be looking for in
moderation.
Moderation looks like beingable to take your foot off the
gas pedal at times when thingsare crazy in your life, but it
also looks like putting a littlemore pressure in the gas when
things are going well, when lifeis good, when things are all in
(14:22):
alignment, you can go a littlebit harder, but you're not
putting the pedal on the floorand you're never fully releasing
.
This ties into that consistencyof being able to adapt the
workout schedule, the nutrition,to the phases or the seasons in
your lifestyle.
And, ultimately, if you canreally work on and master and
(14:46):
practice the eight things I wentover today, I promise you this
journey is going to be easy.
This journey will besustainable.
This journey will lead to youbeing one of those healthy and
fit people One of those healthyand fit people for life.
More importantly, and if I couldleave you with one really
(15:06):
important tip, that is not to goand try to implement all eight
of these things.
What you really need to do ispick one of them, get good at it
, practice it, implement it,make it part of who you are,
make it part of your life.
Then add the second, then thethird, then the fourth.
(15:27):
I always like to tell people,if you can add one, two maybe,
maybe three really solid habitsinto your life every year, just
imagine where you'd be in fiveyears.
And just know, after those fiveyears, you'll never be back in
the shoes you are in today.
You'll never go back to theunhappy version of yourself, the
(15:50):
unhealthy, the unfit version ofyourself.
Because I know that's not whatyou want.
What you truly want is to getthere and stay there, to not
have to go through those samestruggles, the same frustration
as you have in the past.
And if I had to give you onebonus, one little bonus on top
of all of this is don't startthe journey because you hate
(16:14):
yourself.
Don't start your journeybecause you're so upset with who
you are, what you look like oranything like that.
Do not come from a place ofhate.
The final thing that all ofthese people have in common is
they come from a place of love.
They love themselves so muchthat they want to take care of
themselves.
They treat themselves like theywould a friend or a family
(16:35):
member.
They love the potential theyhave.
They love the opportunity theyhave to take care of themselves.
They love that they are able tochange who they are, change how
they feel, change how they lookto, change the habits and
routines and the skills thatthey have right now so they can
(16:57):
become the best versions ofthemselves.
And ultimately, I want you toknow this isn't easy and it's
not for everyone, but I do knowyou're more than capable of it,
and if you need some extra helpor you need some assistance, I'm
one message away.
My Instagram DMs are alwaysopen and if you ever have
(17:22):
questions, I'm always here tohelp.
Ask away and you shall receive.
So, that being said, I hope yougot a ton of value out of
today's video.
I hope there are a few littlenuggets in there that you could
take away and take action andimplement into your life.
I hope you have the mostamazing day of your life today
and I'll catch you on the nextone.
Peace.
The 8 things fit and healthy people have in common.
After being on my own fitnessjourney for the last 10 years
and working with over 500 people, and also being surrounded by
other amazing fitness and healthcoaches and other fit and
healthy people, I've seen thatthere's a lot of common traits
(00:22):
that these people tend to have.
Not only do I see these traitsover and over and over again,
but also these are the thingsthat we like to teach our
clients in order for them to notonly see great results, but to
actually sustain them.
These are the eight things thatI find to be the most important
and most common amongst themost healthy and fit people, not
(00:44):
only inside the gym, butoutside the gym as well.
So for each of these eightthings, I'm going to break down
in detail what they are and howyou can ultimately implement
them or build these things intoyour lifestyle and, if done
properly, being able to havethese eight skills and habits
(01:04):
and things in your life, I canalmost guarantee you're going to
not only see, but be able tosustain success on your own
journey.
So let's dive in to these eightthings that healthy and fit
people have in common.
Number one may be prettyobvious, but it's something a
lot of people lack, which isconsistency.
(01:26):
Consistency does not mean younever miss a workout.
Consistency does not mean youare hitting a certain calorie or

So missing a workout is okay.
(01:48):
Having a day where your mealsdon't go as planned or you don't

What's most important is thatwhen you fall off, when you have
those days that are not sogreat, those days that are not

(02:08):
yourself a hard time.
You can get back on track thenext day.
That is the power ofconsistency.
The power of consistency is notbeing perfect, but being okay,
with things going off thescheduled plan, going off

I always like to tell peoplethe only way to truly fail is to
(02:28):

So unless you actually justgive up and stop trying for an

So being consistent really justlooks like you're continually
moving the ball forward, even onyour hard days, even after your
hard days.
That is the power ofconsistency and it compounds
(02:49):
over time.
It's just like investing Earlyon.
When you're just investinglittle bits here and there,

But if you look over timeyou'll see this wealth will
build more and more and more.
And that's the power of beingconsistent.
The longer you can beconsistent for without giving up

Number two is finding joy ineating healthy and cooking Now

I just feel so energized, liketo be honest.
More often than not I'm in thegym.

And then let me tell you, themost amazing thing is after my

I feel so refreshed, I feel soenergized, I feel so amazing

And I also love the effects ithas on my mental health, my

As many of you can probablyrelate to, one of the amazing
benefits of exercise is theincrease of your own confidence,
your own self-worth.
One of the main reasons Istarted working out about 10
years ago was to increase myconfidence.
(09:39):
I wasn't comfortable in my ownskin, I wasn't comfortable with
who I was, but when I startedworking out, I started to unveil
this confidence I had withinmyself.
I started to become not onlymore comfortable in my own skin,
but I started to become morecomfortable in my everyday life.
I started to figure out who Iwas, why I was doing the things
(10:00):
I was doing, and I started to bemore comfortable in other
situations.
So don't think exercise is onlyabout how you look.
Exercise is so much more thanthat and if you shift that focus
to the other things aside fromhow you look, chances are you're
going to look pretty damn good.
Number six is separating yoursocial time from your workout
(10:21):
time.
The most fit and healthy peopleI know don't go to the gym to
go socialize with their friendsor to go chitter chatter with
all the people inside the gym.
I know sometimes people may askyou questions, you can get
distracted, but I'll tell youthis the most healthy and fit
people I know tend to get in thegym.
(10:42):
They get their work done andthey leave, and maybe after they
have the social hour or aftertheir workout is done inside the
gym, then they can go talk.
But most importantly, what Ifind is that the people that are
most healthy, most fit and mostsuccessful on their own
journeys just like many of myclients is they go into the gym,
they put their earphones in,they're locked in, they go get
(11:03):
their workout done and they getout, so they're not wasting a
ton of time at the gym.
They're there for 45 minutes anhour, maybe an hour and 15 if
they stretch after, butultimately they get in, they get
out, they take care of businessand that's what helps them see
success on their journeys.
Number seven is allowing life todictate their workouts and not
(11:24):
the other way around.
Too often I see people early ontheir journey moving all these
things around in their life justso they can go get their
workout done.
When the more successful peopleI know adapt their workout to
their lifestyle and the thingsthat they have going on.
If they have a really stressfulday and they still want to go
(11:44):
get their workout in, they knowhow to back off and go a little
easier and to listen to theirbodies, to adapt the workout to
their lifestyle or theirday-to-day life.
Being able to mold and shapetheir workouts, their routines,
into their daily life is whatmakes these people successful.
During the busiest times of mylife, I have gone from working
(12:07):
out two hours in the gym threedays a week to I'm doing 20
minute workouts every day.
I've gone and changed myworkouts to adapt to the
different phases or seasons I'min in my life, to make sure I
can still be consistent.
Working out looks different foreveryone.
You may go through a phasewhere just going on an hour, 30
minute, 15 minute walk afterevery meal may be the thing that
(12:29):
you need to do in that currentseason or phase of your life.
But ultimately, adapting yourworkouts to your lifestyle is
going to be much more effectivelong-term strategy compared to
someone that is just trying tostick to this rigid, strict,
straightforward routine thatthey have to do every week or
all hell breaks loose.
That's not what we want to do.
What we want to do is find aroutine that we can mold and
(12:52):
shape to our lifestyle.
And, last but not least, lastbut not least, number eight is
moderation.
Do not overdo it and do notovercomplicate it.
Finding balance, synergy withyour lifestyle is the most
important factor.
Being able to have themoderation of still having
(13:17):
things that you love integratedinto your routine, integrated
into your life, is essential.
You should still be able to eatthe cookie.
You should be able to go onthat date night, have the drink,
enjoy the foods that you love,while still seeing results,
(13:39):
while still being consistent onyour journey.
This also goes for your workouts.
Your goal in the gym should notbe to kill yourself every time.
You should not walk out of thegym feeling like you just got
beat up.
Leaving the gym energized, in agood mood, are the things that
you should experience.
Leaving the gym ready for therest of your day, ready to have
(14:02):
an amazing day.
Those are the things that youshould be looking for in
moderation.
Moderation looks like beingable to take your foot off the
gas pedal at times when thingsare crazy in your life, but it
also looks like putting a littlemore pressure in the gas when
things are going well, when lifeis good, when things are all in
(14:22):
alignment, you can go a littlebit harder, but you're not
putting the pedal on the floorand you're never fully releasing
.
This ties into that consistencyof being able to adapt the
workout schedule, the nutrition,to the phases or the seasons in
your lifestyle.
And, ultimately, if you canreally work on and master and
(14:46):
practice the eight things I wentover today, I promise you this
journey is going to be easy.
This journey will besustainable.
This journey will lead to youbeing one of those healthy and
fit people One of those healthyand fit people for life.
More importantly, and if I couldleave you with one really
(15:06):
important tip, that is not to goand try to implement all eight
of these things.
What you really need to do ispick one of them, get good at it
, practice it, implement it,make it part of who you are,
make it part of your life.
Then add the second, then thethird, then the fourth.
(15:27):
I always like to tell people,if you can add one, two maybe,
maybe three really solid habitsinto your life every year, just
imagine where you'd be in fiveyears.
And just know, after those fiveyears, you'll never be back in
the shoes you are in today.
You'll never go back to theunhappy version of yourself, the
(15:50):
unhealthy, the unfit version ofyourself.
Because I know that's not whatyou want.
What you truly want is to getthere and stay there, to not
have to go through those samestruggles, the same frustration
as you have in the past.
And if I had to give you onebonus, one little bonus on top
of all of this is don't startthe journey because you hate
(16:14):
yourself.
Don't start your journeybecause you're so upset with who
you are, what you look like oranything like that.
Do not come from a place ofhate.
The final thing that all ofthese people have in common is
they come from a place of love.
They love themselves so muchthat they want to take care of
themselves.
They treat themselves like theywould a friend or a family
(16:35):
member.
They love the potential theyhave.
They love the opportunity theyhave to take care of themselves.
They love that they are able tochange who they are, change how
they feel, change how they lookto, change the habits and
routines and the skills thatthey have right now so they can
(16:57):
become the best versions ofthemselves.
And ultimately, I want you toknow this isn't easy and it's
not for everyone, but I do knowyou're more than capable of it,
and if you need some extra helpor you need some assistance, I'm
one message away.
My Instagram DMs are alwaysopen and if you ever have
(17:22):
questions, I'm always here tohelp.
Ask away and you shall receive.
So, that being said, I hope yougot a ton of value out of
today's video.
I hope there are a few littlenuggets in there that you could
take away and take action andimplement into your life.
I hope you have the mostamazing day of your life today
and I'll catch you on the nextone.
Peace.
