Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to there is a Method to the Madness.
My name is Rob Maxwell and I'man exercise physiologist and
personal trainer.
I am the owner of Maxwell'sFitness Programs and I've been
in business since 1994.
The purpose of this podcast isto get to the real deal of what
really works and, mostimportantly, why things work.
(00:21):
Hence the name there is amethod to the madness.
Before I get to today's show, Iwant to thank Jonathan and Lynn
Gildan of the Gildan Group atRealty Pros.
They are committed to providingthe highest level of customer
service in home sales.
Why don't you give them a shoutand figure out what your home
is worth?
386-451-2412.
(00:44):
386-451-2412.
Paraphrasing here, but it isSocrates that said A wise man is
one who admits he knows nothing.
I think that is so powerful andI have always studied
(01:04):
philosophy so powerful, and Ihave always studied philosophy.
I find it to be extremelyinteresting and useful in all
walks of life.
And you know, I just find thatto be so true.
I think that for clients tohave success with their trainer
or at their gyms, they have toremain teachable.
(01:27):
I think trainers need to remainteachable, I think teachers
need to be teachable.
I think we just all need to beteachable.
And so I had this interestingthing occur and I've decided you
know this is a good podcastthis is something to kick around
(01:48):
a little bit.
But you know, as I've sharedbefore I believe I like to do my
cardio early in the morning,either run or walk or whatever,
and I get out at oh dark 30.
And you know you really have toin the summer months.
It is so freaking hot that evenwhen you get out at oh dark 30
and you know you really have toin the summer months, it is so
freaking hot that even when youget out in the early, early wee
(02:11):
morning, like 5 am or whatever,I am still absolutely drenched
at the end.
So I hate running in the dark.
I always have and I try toimprovise with running with some
kind of a light.
So I was using a headlamp, forI think I've talked about it
before but headlamp put it on myhat, it's okay, I mean it does
(02:34):
the trick.
But man, it's like you know Isweat and the humidity is so bad
.
And I was talking about likehow hot my head gets with the
hat and the uh, you knowheadlamp on it, which you know
it works.
So it works, it would stillwork fine.
But I was saying it to a clientand I know that uh, two clients
(02:54):
actually, but one of them I wastalking to about it because they
also run super early in themorning.
They run at 5.00 AM on adifferent days during the week
and you know I was talking tothem and I know that they use
these shoes on these lights ontheir shoes.
So the other day I was talkingto one and I was asking more
(03:16):
about it.
She's telling me all aboutthese lights that go on the
shoes, you know, clip onto theshoelaces and they beam out in
front about six feet or whatever, similar to a headlamp, and
she's telling me about it and Iwas, you know, curious because
I'm talking about my style thatI use with the headlamp, and
she's telling me about them.
They sounded great and thenafterwards I texted and asked
(03:39):
her the brand again because Iwanted to make sure, as I was on
Amazon, you know, looking, andshe confirmed it was the one I
was looking at.
So I ordered them and then theycame yesterday and I wore them
this morning and they workedgreat and it made me think.
It's like you know, I've beenrunning, god you know for a
(03:59):
really really long time.
I mean, I think, like everybodyin life, there's periods where
I get out of it for a bit, youknow whatever the hobby is, and
then get back to it.
But you know my 20s I ran someand then really ran all through
my 30s and a lot of my 40s, soreally really long time, right.
And uh, you know, you can't youcan teach a dog a new trick,
(04:21):
you know.
And I think it's just kind ofcool that, like I don't know I
don't want to say take pride,because that's the wrong word,
but I'm happy that I'm teachableLike I don't care who gives me
useful information that I canapply.
Like you know, they're tellingme about something that they use
(04:43):
when they run to make theirmorning runs.
You know more.
Uh, you know safe, um, maybemore comfortable for them, but
definitely more safe.
And uh, you know I'm theirtrainer and I know a lot about
running and everything.
But it's like they're tellingme, you know, they both talked
about them.
One gave me the specifics.
I order them, you know, it justgot me thinking.
(05:04):
Then it was funny.
I took a little picture with myshoes beaming today and I meant
to post it and I will, and I'llsend it to them and say, hey,
your tip paid off, you know.
But it just made me think how?
(05:26):
You know, we've got to remainteachable, all of us and I've
been doing this for a long time,over 30 years and the clients
that are teachable, you know, nomatter what they know,
teachable like, it doesn'tmatter what their backgrounds
are, as long as they're comingin and wanting to learn and
trying to learn, asking goodquestions and then following the
advice they're going to get thebenefits.
(05:48):
And the ones that think theyknow everything.
I've shared it before, but it'slike, okay, if you know so much
, why are you here?
Why are you here?
You know, it's just a humantendency, I think you know it's
not obviously, it's just notgeared towards personal training
(06:09):
or fitness training, it'severything.
There are two types of peoplemaybe out there, you know, and
I'm sure there's something inbetween, but the people that
like remain open and teachable.
And then the people that don't.
And I like to be teachable, Icontinue to learn all the time.
(06:31):
I mean, I hate the strong word,I can't stand no dolls in any
discipline because we don't knoweverything.
I don't care who you are and,by the way, it's my perspective
here it's not a profession thing.
You know, it's like I rememberwhen I was teaching personal
(06:55):
trainers to be personal trainers.
You know that, younger, someare younger, some are just, you
know, coming back to school andwanting to learn a different
trade, but majority of them wereyounger, like in their 20s and
whatnot.
But you know they'd always say,well, you know who's most
difficult, like the ones thatalready have a medical
background, like physicians.
And I'm like, no, honestly,it's not that.
(07:18):
It's every profession, everytype of person's not an industry
.
I mean I've had many physiciansthrough the years.
I have a few right now and I'vealways had some.
You know, like, going back,I've had orthopedics,
psychiatrists, generalpractitioners, skin, I mean you
(07:39):
name it everything.
And so it's not that I meanI've never had an issue with one
of them.
You know telling me, oh, I knowthe body better than you.
I mean that's never happened.
I mean it's not a profession,it is a personality type, it's
an ego thing.
You know it's an ego thing.
(08:01):
You know, and the people thatclaim to know the most typically
know the least.
I don't know if you've everpicked up on that.
Like ego and confidence are notthe same thing.
They are very, very different.
Confidence is you can keep yourmouth shut, you can ask for
(08:23):
advice and, you know, maybe youdon't agree with the advice and
you can go hmm, okay, well, youknow, thank you and move on,
where ego is always trying toprove something to somebody, you
know, and so I just want tobring that up so we can kind of
throw that around a little bitand talk about how we can make
this better in our physicaljourney, because this is about
(08:47):
health and fitness my podcast.
You know, how can we take thisinformation and make it help us?
You know, are you like that?
You know which one are you?
Are you, are you teachable ordo you know everything?
And if you think you knoweverything, or even if you think
you know a ton, I'd say, openyour mind a little bit.
(09:09):
I mean, we can all joke aroundabout social media.
I was going to say sociology.
Don't know why we can jokearound about social media, but
it is so true.
It's like I saw a meme theother day that went from you
know, everybody thinking they'relike you know, experts on
(09:31):
vaccines and COVID.
You know, now become experts onthe Middle East.
You know, it's just so true.
You know like people are goingto give their opinions on.
You know what's really going onand you know they break it down
and there's this long post thatlooks so expert on you know this
(09:52):
subject matter and it's alwaysthe same people.
You know could take those postsand go back five years ago,
during covid, whatever, whateverside you were on.
You know the same people,somebody you know getting into
like vaccine defense and they'relike, and they're they're not
physicians, like those weren'tthe people posting.
(10:14):
You know what I mean.
It's like not.
I mean, I have a lot of friendswho are physicians and I didn't
see one of them entering thedebate on.
You know, on Facebook.
You know that basically thephysicians I know that I've gone
to or were clients were likedon't be an idiot, just get your
vaccine.
You know, whatever it was like,you know, not anything like
post-wise, you know, but it waseverybody on both sides.
(10:37):
You know one, oh, why youshouldn't, and they're given all
their reason and their data.
And then why you should, andthey're given their reason,
their reasons and their data andthey again were not physicians
at all.
You know, going on, it's justthis is what people do and you
know, when it comes to fitness,people do the same thing.
(11:12):
There are people that just youknow are going to not listen to
anybody and they're always goingto be out there throwing stones
at people and you know,crushing people's arguments and
you know like somebody might putsomething on there about what
they're doing fitness wise andthey're going to yuck on
somebody's yum.
(11:33):
You know there's always goingto be somebody that says, oh,
you should be doing this, youknow you should be doing that.
You know my friend is followingthis diet and he goes to this
place and you know there's justalways going to be that.
You know, and I just want toencourage everybody out there, a
couple of things, a couplecouple of things here that are
really the main point I want toget across here.
(11:54):
So you know, if and our clientsare really really good like and
we screen people for that reasonyou know I've been doing this a
long time and I'm busy and Idon't need the aggravation, so
we screen people.
Number one we don't have spotsopen.
When they open up, we letpeople know on the waiting list
they come in, but we don't justlet them in.
(12:17):
We screen it's.
You know clients will joke nowabout it, but I think they're
glad we do that.
But I screen them.
I'll talk to them.
I'll first have a phoneconversation.
Then, if we have a phoneconversation and it goes well,
you know they come in.
We have another in-personconsultation and one of the
things I'm looking foravailability is critical.
(12:40):
But another thing I'm lookingfor is are they teachable, are
they coachable or are they aknow-it-all?
And we did have a referral comein, I don't know, a few months
ago and it was from somebody Ilike a lot and everything.
It's just they kind of gotthrough the phone conversation,
(13:01):
okay, very reachable, as far astheir schedule was good, and
they seemed you know, okay andeverything, and they're probably
fine people, right, but itwasn't going to be a match.
They come in and it's like well, yeah, no, I've done that, oh
no, I've done this.
Or you know, I really think Ishould be focusing on this and
I'm looking at them going okay,you just called an expert, like
(13:25):
seriously, and you know thatwe're like full.
So we politely turned him down.
Maybe they didn't see thispolite but said hey, can't work
in right now, so you got to beteachable, Like you're asking
(13:46):
for expert opinion.
Everything can be kicked arounda little bit.
I had a client years and yearsago and she was an eye doctor
and still is, but she was aclient back then.
She's great, I like her.
She was teachable, you know.
She used to like to talk anddiscuss things, not in a
(14:06):
disrespectful way, just.
I remember us talking about,like, the caloric deficit, like
this just stands out with melike having a hard time
understanding, you know, like,let's say, if you are eating try
to use her example eating 2000calories a day, but you cut back
(14:28):
a couple hundred.
You know, shouldn't you alwayslose weight?
It was something like that andI said, well, no, because maybe
that 1800 is still too much.
We don't know the metabolism,and I mean so many might have a
really low metabolism.
So it's not just cutting back100 to 200 to 300 calories from
(14:49):
where they are, you know andagain, a smart person not I'm
not, you know, it's just youknow bringing up a pretty solid
point it's cutting back fromwhere they need to cut back from
, and I remember it wasn't anargument, it was just you know,
need to cut back from.
And I remember it wasn't anargument, it was just, you know,
well, help me understand thattype of thing.
And then you know, I don't know, I don't take offense to that
(15:10):
Like I remember we're at my old,old, old facility and we just I
stopped working out because youknow, those are those kind of
like important things, and, um,I stopped and I was trying to
explain it to her and I did, oh,okay, so, like that's cool,
like I, like that.
You know, let's talk about whatyou don't understand.
You know, that's, that's fine.
(15:31):
It's when people are tellingyou what they should do.
Oh, I really think I shouldonly work my upper body because
I run Like well, yeah, but youknow, when you run, you're using
slow, twitch muscle fibers andwe want to, you know, strengthen
our joints so we can continuethe run.
Yeah, yeah, but I don't wantthem bigger.
It's like okay, like what areyou doing?
(15:52):
Like you're not, you're notteachable, what, what are you
doing?
So, like that's the first thing, like if you're and again, this
isn't to clients, it's so funnyI mean people will come in
they'll say, hey, I think youwere talking about me.
It's like, look, 50 people comein the gym.
This it's not you, it's reallynot, and it's not anybody like
Really not.
And it's not anybody like.
(16:13):
Again, I screen people.
We don't have people that arerude and disrespectful and
aren't unteachable.
I mean, of course there'slevels with everything, but no,
this is like in general and Isee to learn myself.
(16:34):
I love when I have clients whenthey're in the gym or whatever,
but typically is when I see him, he's in the gym and they teach
me something like about youknow, local government, cause I
have a Volusia County Countycouncil member who's running for
Senate.
Love to learn stuff from him.
I mean, I don't take theworkout time and make him go on
a speech now, but he'll tell mesomething they're working on or
(16:57):
whatever.
Love that stuff.
Or you know airport managementwith another client, or
different things in medicine,like how are insurance changing
for people.
You know with the physicianslike I keep an open mind.
Or how to put lights on yourshoes to light up the road
instead of wearing a ridiculoushat lamp, right?
(17:19):
So I mean I like that, you know, and I truly believe what
Socrates said.
You know, a wise man is one whoadmits he knows nothing.
We have to remain teachable.
So the other part of this iswhen you are out there perusing
on your social media sites ormaybe with your friends in tech
streams or however that worksfor you.
(17:40):
Just be careful.
Like, usually the loudestpeople in the room say the very
least, right?
I think we all know that peoplethat are loud and obnoxious and
talk too much and have opinionsabout everything I mean they're
usually the clueless people ofthe group, right?
So just don't fall for that.
(18:00):
Like there's a lot of sayingsnow on social media about like
it's a very loud minority andthat's very, very true.
Like we can get a really kindof a negative feel for how
society is if all we did wasread the comments of people on
social media.
But it's just a very loud,typically clueless minority,
(18:25):
right?
I mean, we have to learn how toget the information we want,
who we should be getting it from, and be very, very coachable.
So I just wanted to pass thatalong because I thought it was
cool.
So, um, from my you knowwonderful clients, marie and
Patty out there, thank you somuch for introducing me to the

(10:14):
You know what I mean.
It's like not.
I mean, I have a lot of friendswho are physicians and I didn't
see one of them entering thedebate on.
You know, on Facebook.
You know that basically thephysicians I know that I've gone
to or were clients were likedon't be an idiot, just get your
vaccine.
You know, whatever it was like,you know, not anything like
post-wise, you know, but it waseverybody on both sides.
(10:37):
You know one, oh, why youshouldn't, and they're given all
their reason and their data.
And then why you should, andthey're given their reason,
their reasons and their data andthey again were not physicians
at all.
You know, going on, it's justthis is what people do and you
know, when it comes to fitness,people do the same thing.
(11:12):
There are people that just youknow are going to not listen to
anybody and they're always goingto be out there throwing stones
at people and you know,crushing people's arguments and
you know like somebody might putsomething on there about what
they're doing fitness wise andthey're going to yuck on
somebody's yum.
(11:33):
You know there's always goingto be somebody that says, oh,
you should be doing this, youknow you should be doing that.
You know my friend is followingthis diet and he goes to this
place and you know there's justalways going to be that.
You know, and I just want toencourage everybody out there, a
couple of things, a couplecouple of things here that are
really the main point I want toget across here.
(11:54):
So you know, if and our clientsare really really good like and
we screen people for that reasonyou know I've been doing this a
long time and I'm busy and Idon't need the aggravation, so
we screen people.
Number one we don't have spotsopen.
When they open up, we letpeople know on the waiting list
they come in, but we don't justlet them in.
(12:17):
We screen it's.
You know clients will joke nowabout it, but I think they're
glad we do that.
But I screen them.
I'll talk to them.
I'll first have a phoneconversation.
Then, if we have a phoneconversation and it goes well,
you know they come in.
We have another in-personconsultation and one of the
things I'm looking foravailability is critical.
(12:40):
But another thing I'm lookingfor is are they teachable, are
they coachable or are they aknow-it-all?
And we did have a referral comein, I don't know, a few months
ago and it was from somebody Ilike a lot and everything.
It's just they kind of gotthrough the phone conversation,
(13:01):
okay, very reachable, as far astheir schedule was good, and
they seemed you know, okay andeverything, and they're probably
fine people, right, but itwasn't going to be a match.
They come in and it's like well, yeah, no, I've done that, oh
no, I've done this.
Or you know, I really think Ishould be focusing on this and
I'm looking at them going okay,you just called an expert, like
(13:25):
seriously, and you know thatwe're like full.
So we politely turned him down.
Maybe they didn't see thispolite but said hey, can't work
in right now, so you got to beteachable, Like you're asking
(13:46):
for expert opinion.
Everything can be kicked arounda little bit.
I had a client years and yearsago and she was an eye doctor
and still is, but she was aclient back then.
She's great, I like her.
She was teachable, you know.
She used to like to talk anddiscuss things, not in a
(14:06):
disrespectful way, just.
I remember us talking about,like, the caloric deficit, like
this just stands out with melike having a hard time
understanding, you know, like,let's say, if you are eating try
to use her example eating 2000calories a day, but you cut back
(14:28):
a couple hundred.
You know, shouldn't you alwayslose weight?
It was something like that andI said, well, no, because maybe
that 1800 is still too much.
We don't know the metabolism,and I mean so many might have a
really low metabolism.
So it's not just cutting back100 to 200 to 300 calories from
(14:49):
where they are, you know andagain, a smart person not I'm
not, you know, it's just youknow bringing up a pretty solid
point it's cutting back fromwhere they need to cut back from
, and I remember it wasn't anargument, it was just you know,
need to cut back from.
And I remember it wasn't anargument, it was just, you know,
well, help me understand thattype of thing.
And then you know, I don't know, I don't take offense to that
(15:10):
Like I remember we're at my old,old, old facility and we just I
stopped working out because youknow, those are those kind of
like important things, and, um,I stopped and I was trying to
explain it to her and I did, oh,okay, so, like that's cool,
like I, like that.
You know, let's talk about whatyou don't understand.
You know, that's, that's fine.
(15:31):
It's when people are tellingyou what they should do.
Oh, I really think I shouldonly work my upper body because
I run Like well, yeah, but youknow, when you run, you're using
slow, twitch muscle fibers andwe want to, you know, strengthen
our joints so we can continuethe run.
Yeah, yeah, but I don't wantthem bigger.
It's like okay, like what areyou doing?
(15:52):
Like you're not, you're notteachable, what, what are you
doing?
So, like that's the first thing, like if you're and again, this
isn't to clients, it's so funnyI mean people will come in
they'll say, hey, I think youwere talking about me.
It's like, look, 50 people comein the gym.
This it's not you, it's reallynot, and it's not anybody like
Really not.
And it's not anybody like.
(16:13):
Again, I screen people.
We don't have people that arerude and disrespectful and
aren't unteachable.
I mean, of course there'slevels with everything, but no,
this is like in general and Isee to learn myself.
(16:34):
I love when I have clients whenthey're in the gym or whatever,
but typically is when I see him, he's in the gym and they teach
me something like about youknow, local government, cause I
have a Volusia County Countycouncil member who's running for
Senate.
Love to learn stuff from him.
I mean, I don't take theworkout time and make him go on
a speech now, but he'll tell mesomething they're working on or
(16:57):
whatever.
Love that stuff.
Or you know airport managementwith another client, or
different things in medicine,like how are insurance changing
for people.
You know with the physicianslike I keep an open mind.
Or how to put lights on yourshoes to light up the road
instead of wearing a ridiculoushat lamp, right?
(17:19):
So I mean I like that, you know, and I truly believe what
Socrates said.
You know, a wise man is one whoadmits he knows nothing.
We have to remain teachable.
So the other part of this iswhen you are out there perusing
on your social media sites ormaybe with your friends in tech
streams or however that worksfor you.
(17:40):
Just be careful.
Like, usually the loudestpeople in the room say the very
least, right?
I think we all know that peoplethat are loud and obnoxious and
talk too much and have opinionsabout everything I mean they're
usually the clueless people ofthe group, right?
So just don't fall for that.
(18:00):
Like there's a lot of sayingsnow on social media about like
it's a very loud minority andthat's very, very true.
Like we can get a really kindof a negative feel for how
society is if all we did wasread the comments of people on
social media.
But it's just a very loud,typically clueless minority,
(18:25):
right?
I mean, we have to learn how toget the information we want,
who we should be getting it from, and be very, very coachable.
So I just wanted to pass thatalong because I thought it was
cool.
So, um, from my you knowwonderful clients, marie and
Patty out there, thank you somuch for introducing me to the
