Speaker 2 (00:48):
All Right, Lincoln Lending Group, Friends and family. This is Frankdebank,
your owner of Lincoln Lending Group at eight one to
three mortgage dot com. You're number one a lender and
ta yup, and I'm the host of the Business Happy
Hour Radio She your number one show for all things
business and entrepreneurial and I am in studio by myself
today except for having my good friend Illy from X
(01:09):
Force body who has been friends of me for over
five years. Ali, I'm inviting you to your Instagram right now.
You should be getting your invite. If not, you can
pull up the what do you call it? Business Happy Hour?
Push go to my page and hit request to join.
But you should have gotten a request by now. Hopefully
you radio listeners can hear us. We're usually way better
(01:30):
at our Instagram. Recently we have had a little issue
on that says Elly is unable to join. You may
have to check your settings or something on there. It's
not letting you join, but you'll have to Why don't
you request to join the show? Go to the live
and request that. For you radio listeners, thank you for listening.
Oh look there go. Illy just joined now she just
(01:50):
has to request to be on video. So for all
of you listeners who have never listened to the Business
Happy Hour, she is having problems getting on here. To
get this figured out, there might be a set you
might have to give, like it access to your camera
and your microphone. On Instagram, it's possible that your permissions
are turned off, which is weird. Because that's never happened
(02:12):
before with Illy. Illy is actually the one that helped
me change my entire health journey and my workout and
everything that I have been doing for five years. Up
looks looks like it's working. I just did an invite again.
So if you guys knew Fat Frank? Did anybody know
Fat Frank? Raise your hand, Nicole, You're not allowed to
(02:34):
raise your hand. But back in the day prior to COVID. Actually,
and it's funny, do you guys realize that COVID is
like going on five years ago? I guess COVID officially
started for most of us, like I think we heard
about it, like in January of twenty twenty. I met
Illy in I want to say it was like September
(02:59):
or something about Settember of twenty nineteen is when we
first met each other. And I actually had her on
my radio show. And you know, I loved working out.
I used to work out in college a lot. And
then of course, you know, you have your your kids
and you get the old dad bought. And I swear
(03:19):
that some people probably thought I had stock in Columbia
shirts because I'd wear those shirts and they would hide
the little dad gut, But I did find myself not
wanting to take my shirt off at the beach. It's legit.
I was I never I always used to make fun
of those guys and'd be like, this dude's got a
T shirt on in the pool, what's wrong with him?
Or then these the guy Harvey shirts started coming out,
(03:40):
and those nice smooth fishing shirts, so you'd wear those,
and then guys wear them in the pool, and you'd
look around and be like, there's other guys that have
these shirts on the pool. It's kind of cool. No,
it's not. It's not. Sorry cuz if you're listening today,
we were talking about this on the phone the other day.
He's like, I like wearing my shirt at the pool.
I'm like, you do until you don't have to anymore.
(04:00):
And take it from a guy who was one hundred
and eighty eight pounds almost one hundred and ninety pounds
on a five foot eight and a half maybe five
nine on a good day frame one eighty eight. Don't
look that good when you take your shirt off at
the pool. But you know what looks too? Skinny? One
forty eight. And that's how skinny I got After Illy
challenged me on the radio show. She literally sat across
(04:22):
me and she goes, all right, you say you want
to lose weight, you say you want to put on
muscle again, right, And I'm like, yeah, that's exactly what
I want to do. And they're like. She's like, well,
you can do it with just two days a week
out of the week. Two days is all she told
and twenty minutes a day. And she now here, she
is on my Instagram makes she turned on all your
volume and everything. So so she challenged me and she's like,
(04:47):
you can do this two days a week, twenty minutes
a day. And I Am like, you are totally full
of it. Yeah, turn your volume up, your mic, turn
your mic off. I'm like, okay, how's that gonna work.
I'm like, Illy, I like to eat food, and a
lot of it. I like fettuccini Alfredo, I like passa.
I like going to uh to Olive Garden back and
then I used to work there and I get the
tour of Italy. That's fettuccini, alfredo, lasagna, chicken palm, all
(05:10):
you can eat, breadsticks alfredo, dipping sauce and the salad.
I know me too, But here's the thing before I
met Illy. I mean, I knew that wasn't good for me,
but I didn't realize how many calories I was eating.
And listen, I'm not a weight watcher's boy, I promise you.
But I have seen the pictures and maybe maybe Illy
and I'll pill up a picture of me and we'll
(05:31):
throw it on the Instagram. So I don't even know
if I know how to like share a picture on
the Instagram. I'll have to figure that out. But anyway,
I U, I do have a fat picture. It's pretty funny,
which Illy displays proudly n X force body right.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Now, Balm, it is on the wall, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It really, it really is right by the scale. So
I guess it's kind of motivation for me. But long
story short, I didn't realize. I didn't realize how important
calories were. But but if you think about like an engine,
You got your car right, and you got to fill
it up with gas, and you need so much gas
to go from point A to point B. But what
happens if if you just put way too much gas
(06:11):
in the car. Well, it's good, gas is gonna go everywhere.
But what if you just fill your trunk up with gas. Well,
that's what I did, and that's what other the man
wearing those shirts at the beach. Don't lie. Don't say
that you like wearing shirts in the water. Okay, I
was a liar, I can admit it. I used to
say that I was happy with my shirt and the water.
Well I'm not. I don't have to worry about putting
sunscreen on because I got a shirt on. I don't
(06:33):
got to worry about that. And then when I get
out and have my soppin' at sopping wet shirt, I
put on the Columbia shirt right because it's short sleeve
and it was real big in the waist, so it
covered my dad bod and my gut. And I'd walk
around being like, Yeah, this guy's got a dadbod. This
guy's got a dad bad. Dad bods are cool. No,
they're not. No, they're not all right, Stop lying to yourself.
They're cool until you don't have one, and you think
(06:55):
it's hard to not have a dad bod. It's not hard.
I'm gonna tell eli did to me. First of all,
my at the time, I don't know nine year old daughter.
Eight year old daughter looks at me when I'm sitting
on the couch with a beer, sitting on my belly,
legit on my belly, and she goes, Dad, youar fatter
than Santa Claus. I mean it was funny. It was
like the smack your ass in the face moment because
(07:17):
I'm like, okay, yeah, I don't want to be fatter
than Santa Claus. Maybe like as fat, but not fat.
He Santa Claus. So I have Elly on the radio
show very ironically, like a week later, and she tells me,
two days a week, twenty minutes a day, you can
change your life. I tell her she's full of s right,
and she's like, well, give it a try. So I
go in the gym. I do the work on in
these Nautilus machines called X force Body. By the way,
(07:39):
xforcebody dot Com is a website. I'm gonna ramp about
this for a minute, and then we are going to
talk about the real estate market and mortgages for a
little and then we're going to get back into Ellie's
story and how do you lose all this weight? But
so I went in the gym, I did the workout.
She told me don't eat half an hour before I
went in. I listened, I still almost threw up. I
saw stars. Like if you've never seen stars, either A
you've never hit your head hard enough, be you've never
(08:01):
been punched, or see you've never been to X force
body one of the three. Because I saw freaking stars,
all right, I could have counted them. So but I
will tell you this. Five years later, I work out
on the same fourteen machines and I still get sore
to this day. How is that possible? How am I
working out for twenty minutes a day and I'm getting sore?
(08:21):
How did I have this journey where I literally lost
forty pounds to the point where I walked in and
Illy's like, you're not eating enough calories. What are you eating.
I'm like, well, you told me to eat like sixteen
to eighteen hundred calories. She's like, yeah, but now you
have all this muscle. Now you got to feed the muscle, dude.
She told me to go get a play to pasta
like literally, but I will tell you how she got
(08:42):
me on the diet, because this is something I think
is very important for people. As the word sorry, Elly,
I'm just talking. I'm talking it up today. She's going
to get to talk eventually diet. Diet is such a
bad word to so many people because when people hear diet,
at least what I heard was I can't eat what
I want. That's what I hear. Illy told me the
very first day. She goes, here's what you're gonna do.
You're gonna eat a lot less calories, going back to
(09:04):
this tour Italy. I'm gonna freaking google it and see
how many calories are in a tour of Italy. Let's
see how many calories are in a tour of Italy
from olive garden. It's got to be at least three thousand.
There has to be, so I'm gonna look it up.
But so at least telling me to eat sixteen to
eighteen hundred a day a day, and I would go
(09:26):
and eat an entire tour of Italy like it was
no tomorrow, and have some tear massou and probably have
some wine. Dude, we're probably talking four thousand calories. You
had me go down less than half of that for
the entire day. Right, But here's the best. Here's what
she told me to do. She said, Frank, go eat
what you like to eat, but eat half of it.
(09:47):
Oh my god, did that work. I'll never forget my
first dinner after my first X Force workout. We went
to outback and I ordered the filet, broccoli, caesar sala
and what is my other side? I got a potato, potatoes,
sour cream, butter and everything. Dude, I ate a half
(10:08):
of everything.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I was full.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I was full. Number one. I was full. I was full.
I was uls full. That's the important thing. I was happy.
I was full, and then I saved it and like
four hours later I ate some of the rest. Right,
But the key was she had already taught me how
to count my calories. So from that day forward, I
started paying attention to when I ate and how many
calories I put in my body, because again, it's like
a gas You got to burn the gas. If you
(10:34):
have too much gas in the tank, then you're not
burning it. So you want to put just the right
amount of gas in there to burn it, so your
body has enough fuel and enough energy, but it doesn't
have too much, because that's when you start packing on
the pounds. Right. The other thing, you told me, like
I could eat all these things. You told eat sour cream, cream, cheese.
You're like all this stuff a bagel. I walk in
(10:56):
and I've seen her eating bread and people are like, you, kid,
carbs bs? What did you tell me about carbs?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
You can build muscle without them, right.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You can't build muscle without carbs because you need the energy.
That's the gasoline, that's the fuel. Right now, you can
do other things. You can add protein and do all
these other cool things that we're gonna learn from Elly today.
But I really wanted to take I just took that
whole segment explaining to you guys kind of the why
what happened to me? I was I was fat, Frank
my friends didn't tell me. I hate all of you
for not telling me. You know why you didn't tell
me because you were happy that I was fatter than you.
(11:27):
But now what do you say? And I'll tell you
what you're saying. You go on exportsbody dot com. You
gotta check it out. You guys have seen what has
done for me. You have seen that I have maintained
this weight loss. I've packed on muscle. I'm not one
hundred and forty eight pounds anymore. I'm like one hundred
and sixty something, but I've got muscle. I've got almost
a full six pack. I don't have to wear a
shirt anymore. Matter of FACTNA, I'm gonna throw my shirts away.
(11:48):
I'll probably go to jail. I love eat me. Let
me eat in a restaurant again.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Friends tell Frank to keep his shirt on.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
They did, They tell it anyway. I gotta go take
a break. We'll be back in a minute with Illy
from Exports Body. We'll learn about a workout journey day too.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
All the best mortgage or real estate advice from Tampa
Bay's top experts. It's the business Happy Hour with Frank,
de Bank, Koto and Sennia.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
All right, so we I know our commercials do say
mortgage and real estate advice. Senya is unfortunately out today.
Her little guy fractured at his wrist. I think it
was sad little guy. You know, I knock on wood here.
I lived my end. She's screw myself when I say this.
But I lived my whole life and have not broken
a bone. Knock knocktock doc talk. My kids have not
broken a bone. Dock doc doc talk. So I don't
(12:31):
know what I'm doing right. Maybe maybe you know my
dad didn't beat me hard enough. I'm not beating my
kids hard enough. I don't know exactly, but James, you
had that one cued up. But I yeah, I don't know.
I've never broke a bone, but so I can imagine
it's traumatic for a little guy to break a bone
and doesn't know what's going on, and you got to
wear the cast. So Sennya, I hope everything's going good
(12:52):
over there. Illy and I are going to talk a
little bit about real estate. We'll probably do it, and
we'll do it in this segment, and then we're going
to get into this whole health journey. But by the way,
all you dad bobs out that dad bod's out there,
I'm talking to you. I know I was rasing you
in that first segment, but I'm serious. I am so
happy that I met Illy and that I went on
this workout journey. And I know, Illy, you're gonna say
(13:14):
it's you, it's not me. But everybody needs a catalyst, everybody,
whether it's your daughter telling you you're fatter than Santa Claus.
And then ironically you go do a radio show and
you have somebody that gives you the path. Because I
think that's really what a lot of people don't. They
don't they think, oh, I just got to go to
the gym. I gotta not eat carbs. I got to
not eat anything I want. I gotta get on weight watchers. Dude,
(13:36):
I've tried it all. I've done fit Live foods. You know,
I focused on only eating here there. In the end,
it just becomes a habit. You start paying attention to
what you eat. You know, crap in crap out right,
really crap in crap goes to your belly, you know,
don't put it in then doesn't go to your belly.
But guys, dude, I eat out, by the way. Secret.
I eat out every single day. And I know a
(13:57):
lot of people would probably say that's terrible for you,
and right right, because most people you can't say. I
literally go to a restaurant every single day. And if
I don't go to a restaurant on a day on
a weekend, I'm like celebrating. I'm like, thank God, I
didn't have to go buy a restaurant meal this weekend.
Of course, I go on the weekends. The family wants
to go out to dinner and stuff like that, but
(14:17):
I go to lunch every single day. I go to
breakfast at a restaurant two days a week, probably three
if you count my weekends, and then I don't know dinners,
I'm probably going out to eat three or four nights
a week. How do I maintain it? Simple? I just
pay attention to what I eat, but I still eat
what I want. And if I want that dang chicken
Brian with all the cheese and the honey mustard, well
damn it. Frankie's ordering the chicken Brian and he's eating.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Half of it. It's not what, it's how much?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
How much? That's it. It's so magical.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So when people come and say, oh, I had ice cream,
so what with big deal? It's okay.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
You know what you told me because I told you
I had a sweet tooth. I don't if you remember this,
but you're like, at the end of the night, eat
a little something sweet, eat a piece of chocolate. If
satisfy that sweet tooth before you go to bed, it's
like my final little dosa calorie. Keep my metabolism going.
So another thing you taught me is you got to
keep the metabolism going. This fasting stuff is a fat dude,
like your body needs. It's like an engine. It's got
(15:10):
to run. You got to give it a little bit
of fuel all day long.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You can fast, and there may be some benefits to it,
but not when you're trying to build and keep muscle. Right,
if you're sitting all day doing nothing, fine, you can
fast all you can fast for three days and survive,
but the goal is not survival. The goal is right,
I don't want to survive my day. I want to
crush my workout. I want to feel good, I want
(15:34):
to have energy I want it's maximizing your muscle and
keep keeping active.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Maximizing your muscle. I mean, there's a million things that
we could say, you know how to do it, but
the bottom line is just making a habit. Pay attention
to what you eat. Crap in, crap out, don't eat
so much of it. Enjoy life. But listen, if you
can work out two days a week, twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
It's all you need. That's all you need.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Now, why really tell us this? What is the premise
on just two days a week. There's a reason for that.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
There's a reason for Like I said, perfect dose, right,
just like medication, exercise needs to be dozed perfectly as well. Okay,
so the two days a week allows for sufficient recovery.
We know we need forty eight hours recovery from fifty
(16:29):
plus years with the Nautilus studies, the Doctor Darden studies, right, right,
It's funny because I looked it up not too long ago.
The latest study in twenty sixteen on how often we
should lift weights, it says each muscle group twice a
week for the most efficient muscle building for sufficient recovery.
(16:52):
So we've been doing it because a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So let me let me let me break that down,
because I know all the gym rats out there saying, well,
that's what I do. I do chesting, trest and try
back and buy legs shoulders one day. So I do
it every single day. I do the muscle groups. Illy,
I'm doing what you say.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
They're doing it this way because in their mind, if
I train upper body only my lower body is resting. Right,
it's wrong because the I always ask people the question,
what do you think changes your body? What do you
think recovers your body? Your body recovers your body.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Our recovering systems the heart, the kidneys, the cardiovascular system,
the endocrine.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
System, nervous system.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
The nervous system is our body system to recover us, right, Okay,
but those systems, they don't know where the stress is
coming from. They don't know if you're emotionally stressed, if
you run a marathon, if you train legs or chest,
if you're sick, it's the same process of recovery, right right,
(18:01):
So now if you train just legs, then just back,
you're recovering. Systems don't know where the stress is coming from,
so they're constantly busting to recover you every single day
from something. They don't know if it's flu, if it's COVID,
if you train legs, or if you run a marathon.
Right right, So now we know train the body as
(18:26):
a unit, give the body a chance to fully recover
you as a unit, and then train it again as
a unit. This is why at x force we do
full body workouts.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Okay, so you just nailed it in that sense. Train
the body as a unit. So it's so the common
misconception is that people are not training as a unit.
They're training as a muscle group. And they think because
I'm training only this muscle group, that that muscle group
is recovering when I go to train another one. But
(18:56):
the truth is you're leaving the engine running.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
The whole time, right, So those systems they don't know
it's leg day, chess day, back day, they don't know
where it's coming from. It's just stress.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
They just know that they're being used exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
They know that we're and then over time, this is
why people start in January. They go hard two months, right,
and by month three they fall off because they're exhausted,
their immune system is run down. They start getting sick
because this is one of the symptoms of overtraining. Overtraining
(19:28):
is a serious condition. You know, do you know how
many bodybuilders I know that all of a sudden they're
posting pictures in the hospital, right.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Right, Actually, we're gonna talk about that. We gotta run
and take a quick break here. Illi and I are
having way too much fun. I promise we'll talk some
real estate probably in the third segment, but we're having
way too much fun talking about changing your life, changing
your waistline, changing your attitude and your health. Got to
go to x forcebody dot com and she will give
you that workout in person in Palm Harbor or South
Tampa on Kennedy esportsbody dot com. We'll be right back.

business talk with two of Tampa's top experts.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Here's Frank de Bank and Senia Hi Tampa Bay. Welcome
back to the Business Happy Hour, your number one show
for all things business and entrepreneurial. Though I just found
out my son might have gotten in trouble for long
hair at Jesuit can't have long had better watch yourselves
on her there. That's right, we've got spies everywhere. So
before the break, Illy Storylova and I good friend of mine.
(21:09):
She she's helped change my life. I'm sorry. I'm giving
you credit. I always do because you gave me the
path I had to. I know, she just gets it
right back to me. I had to choose to make
the decisions. I had to eat less calories, which now
I just walked what I eat. I mean, yeah, I
don't listen, guys, I see it, I see it right.
I don't count my calories anymore. I used to kind
of count them. I actually had the point where when
(21:30):
my wife was making like our home cooked meals, which
I loved, we actually like got this program where you
could tell what you could say what you were putting in,
like two eggs, flour, this or this, whatever the hell
it was, and it would say this is what the
total recipe had, and then you could figure out, well,
how am I gonna eat twenty five percent of this whatever?
I knew how many calories I But just by doing
(21:50):
that for thirty days, you get a really really good
understanding of what's what. So like today, I just actually
decided I didn't tell you this last couple weeks. I
decided to actually start focused on eating more protein because
I do these scans at x force body where it
scans my whole body. It tells me my fat composition,
my body composition, my muscle growth. It gives me an
outline of yourself, almost naked, where you can like see
(22:12):
things like your shape and stuff. Anyway, when I looked
at the last one of this one, I didn't have
any muscle increase. Right, I actually went down in fat.
I went down there, you know. So I decided, you
know what, I'm actually gonna do what you've told me.
I'm gonna start increasing my protein a little bit and
see if I can't. So I'm eating some pee protein.
I stopped by Smoothie King on the way here. Now
(22:34):
here's what happened. When I went to smooth King. I
did not order the strawberry chocolate Hulk like I would
have in high school. It's like literally like fifteen hundred calories.
I got the Gladiator, and it ranges from two twenty
to nine hundred calories. And that's depending on what you
put in it and the size you get. So I
got a small because guess what, guys, the small has
the same forty five grams of protein as the freaking large. Right,
(22:56):
So I got forty five grands of protein. I threw
a scoop of peanut butter in there and some straw,
So I mean, I'm probably in sitting at three four
hundred calories for that, but I'm getting that extra protein
which will help me build some muscle. And yeah, I
do weigh a little more now than than than where
I maybe want to be, because yeah, it's easy to
lose a little weight and get a six pack, but
I want What's what's interesting is I'm totally squirreling my son, Landing.
(23:18):
He messes with me all the time and he's like, yeah,
He's like, that's like a fat six pack. I'm like, no, dude,
did you know Landed that the the abs are muscles
and they actually grow and I actually stick out when
they're big, Right, They're not these little these little things
that you kids have where you just have little lines
there because there's no muscles.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Tell him, tell him, my goal is not to be skinny.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Oh, my goal is not to be skinny, buddy, Exactly,
I'm gonna I'm gonna be buff, more buff than you.
That's right. So Italy, before the break, we're we're talking
about the health benefits of working out, and one of
the things that you you kind of quickly mentioned was
getting sick.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Getting sick is another symptom of overtraining. When people do
too much exercise. We say, oh, exercise is medicine, so
we can just do as much as we want without
side effects, just like medication when they say take a
pill morning and evening. Is it going to help you
(24:16):
faster if you take the whole bottle? Right?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Nope.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
So symptoms of overtraining are sleep quality reduction. You can't
sleep well, your immune system weakens, so you start getting sick.
You constantly feel run down. Another another symptom is getting
(24:41):
injured all the time. How many times you hear people
getting gym injuries.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
A lot, especially at Orange Theory. Sorry negative plug Orange Theory.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
It is a fact. If you love doing Orange Theory,
sure love it. Just accept the risks of injury, just
like any sport.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Last week on this show, who tore her acl at
Orange Theory?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Happens every freaking week.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Okay, I believe that our workouts should be helping us
become resilient to injuries. Right, This is when you're lifting
right the right way, where your workouts when was the
last time you got.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Injured at exports. It's I'm not gonna say it's impossible.
It's it's as closed to impossible as that could be.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Exactly. It was the door in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Right, yeah, both and James said at the same time
it was this scar right here. And no, I wasn't drunk.
No I coughed into an addresser. But anyway, no, no,
I don't get I don't get injured there. Matter of fact,
X Force has taught me to slow down my motions,
right because you have the the hold on, hold on
and say, right, uh, three one five, which is how
(25:51):
does that work?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Three seconds positive lifting face, one second hold and five
second lowering phase. Moving the way it's slow means your
muscles is working harder. Right, But you're protecting the joints
when you move the way fast. Old, Look, you're using
momentum which causes the impact to go to the joint.
(26:14):
This is how you get injured.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
One hundred percent. Matter of fact, when I do my
pull ups now, I now go very slow on the backside. Now,
granted you can't pull twenty quick pull ups like that,
you can get like ten to quality good ones.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Right, right, and it's you know, quality versus quantity. You
can do a lot more fast, but you're it's not
the smartest way to go.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well, I it's not how many you do, it's the quality.
By the way, on with X force and mentioned this
to you guys, we're gonna talk about these machines here
in a minute. There's only seven machines on each side.
I think you call it the pull and push side
something like that. Ah.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yes, one side has more compound exercises with meach which
means multiple joints. But the point is that you have
a lot of variety, right, because I promise you most
people they go to gym and lift on their own, right,
don't use more than six exercises, and they repeat the
same six right. Right, you have fourteen different ways to
(27:14):
approach a muscle, which helps you prevent injuries from overuse. Exactly,
if you use bench every time the same way, you're
gonna get injury, shoulder injury just from using the same
exact right. It's called injuries from overuse. And that variety
helps you avoid injuries.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yep, it does, and they mix it up for you.
I mean I have literally used these same fourteen machines
for five and a half years.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Which is way more than the average Jim guy.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Uses the same five or six that I would say,
because think about you going there and what are you
gonna do. You're gonna do some bench press, you might
do some free weights, you go to do some curls,
you're gonna do your shoulder presses. What are you really doing?
You know, by the way, we're doing all of that, guys, Okay,
this isn't like aerobics. Okay, we're actually doing this and
it is hard. Okay, So the way it works is
(28:06):
you taught me this. Your body can lower forty percent
more than it can lift or press, right, So so
basically it's Schwarzenegger and Frignant and all these guys knew this.
That's why you'd see these videos of them putting twice
the weight that they could actually bench press on the
bar and the bar would be bending and low, and
his buddy be on the side and Arnold would be
on the bench and they would lift it up for
(28:27):
him and get it to the peak, and then he
would lower it down real slow, just like an X force.
And what was he doing, Haley when he did that?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
He's negatives?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
The negatives and I love it because you taught me
there's like two sides to the muscle, and we're only
working out one when we push it up and we
let gravity just drop it back down to our chest. Well,
we're not getting we're not getting the other side. That's
what these guys knew forty years ago.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
We just didn't have the technology to build the equipment
around it. Right now, we have x force, right and
x Force is the only negative strength training tool in
the world. Nobody else has it. Only five businesses in
America have it. That it comes from Sweden. But I
tell people, if you tell me you're lifting weights, makes
(29:13):
me happy, because lifting weights is good for you. But
the difference between X force negative machines and traditional weights
is in the level of healthy hormones that your body
is boosting to help you recover. We're talking growth hormone now, Frank,
you cannot touch those hormones with traditional weights. That's the difference.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, let's talk about hormones. This comes up a lot
these days. Everybody's talking about hormones and how when we
get a little older in our forties, girls and boys,
where our bodies start changing and stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
And yeah, that's a separate topic. How people nowadays say
I can't lose weight, I'm gonna go check my hormones, okay,
And I go, okay, but your sleep is crap. And
I'm dead serious. If you're sleeping six hours on average
all night, you never fix your hormones. There's no way,
because healthy sleep provides for normal hormone production. So the
(30:11):
hormones with the equipment, they get boosted because of the
deep level in which those machines break your muscles down.
And we're talking growth hormone, which is everybody knows people
take shots of it, which creeps me out because I
don't know what goes with the shot. Insulin growth factor
which helps you lose fat faster than ever, also protects
(30:31):
from diabetes. Now muscle protects from diabetes and helps people
with diabetes. If you get diagnosed with diabetes, go lift
weights right. The third one is interlukeunce six, which is
one of the biggest anti inflammatories, and in the last
five years they did studies with cancer patients and they
(30:53):
found that interlucunce six, it's a chemical slash hormones, literally
shrinks tumors on cancer patients. So interloqun six kills cancer cells.
So when you're thinking lifting weights, it's not just for
muscle and looks. It's for your health. And again, if
(31:14):
somebody gets diagnosed with cancer, go lift weights. Don't listen
to a doctor that says, oh, just rest, just relax.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
No, you need to lift weights because you want your
body to emit these things right, to create these things.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Yes, and muscle is responsible for so many things, including
healthy hormone function. I say lifting weights is the basics,
just like sleep, just like nutrition. If we don't have
the basics, going and getting hormones injected is like trying
(31:49):
to win a basketball game with our shoes on tied.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And that's a great analogy. With that, we're gonna take
a break care in the business happier. When we get
back on our last segment, we're gonna wrap it all
up into health, the benefits, least sickness, and what you
can do.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Check it out your show, your host Frank the bank Kodo,
owner of Lincoln Lending Group, and his co host Senya Akishana,
realtor with Mahara and Associates.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
You got a fans I know, right. All right, guys,
welcome back to the business. Happy we are having too
much fun in the break. By the way, if you
want to join in, that is fun that we have
every day because we keep talking about the Instagram when
we're doing We've got a whole crew of guys who
who watch our show religiously. We are on Instagram every Tuesday,
usually from about twelve ten until I'm sorry, eleven ten
(32:33):
until one o'clock eleven and ten to one o'clock. Always
at least eleven fifteen to one o'clock. That is our
our forty five minutes that we're on. So you guys
join the business. Happy are on Instagram and you guys
can chime in all look at it. You guys got
to go to class now have fun. You guys got
a break today, and we're going to talk about this
in this segment because illy, we're talking in the break
(32:54):
about how kind of wrapping this all together. And sorry, guys,
I didn't really talk mortgages, but I will mention I'll
do a shameless plug real quick. Don't forget that I
do do mortgages. This healthy guy likes to sell healthy
mortgages as well all types of mortgages one hundred percent
financing FHAVA, conventional reverse mortgage is one of my favorite
things in the world. If you're over fifty five years
old and you have equity in your home, it doesn't matter.
(33:16):
If you are behind on your mortgage payment, you could
be in foreclosure. We can take care of you with
a reverse mortgage today. There is no application. Credit doesn't matter.
Income is not even that big of a deal. It's
the easiest mortgage to get approved for if you have
equity in your home and you're over fifty five. By
the way, it's the only thing that I'll tell you this,
the older the better. The older you are, the better
(33:37):
it is for you when you're getting a reverse mortgage.
So don't feel bad. If we just did a reverse
mortgage for a ninety three year old retired doctor and
we had a great show with Tris burt On here
telling her reverse mortgage testimonial. That is on reverse guru
dot com. That's reverse guru dot com. That's where you
can watch the videos that I put out there and
you can reach out to me directly. That's reverse guru
(33:57):
dot com. Illy good Friend from x Force Body five
locations in the entire United States, and you own two
of them.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
No. Five businesses in the United States have the equipment.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Five have the equipment.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yes, they're different businesses. They're not US X Force Body
O x force is only here, only here, And there's
one in Gainesville too, where doctor Darden did the research.
The research was conducted in Gainesville.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
In Gainesville, and then the other ones across the country.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
So there's different businesses that have the equipment, but they're
not US.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
They're not so three x forces at period period and
they're in Florida. They're in Florida to in Tampa one
Palm Harbor on nineteen Tom Harbor, South Tampa on Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yes, in Gainesville, and then a couple other businesses have
the equipment. Okay, but they don't do the whole program
like US.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Got it. I'll tell you what, if I ever move
out of Tampa, probably never happening, I'm buying that equipment.
Whatever I gotta do to have that equipment, It'll cost
me as much as a house, but I will have
that equipment. God, illy man, we've had so much fun today,
So let's kind of wrap it all together. And by
the way, Exportsbody dot Com is where you go, and hey,
you know what, I'm gonna make a promise to my
(35:10):
listeners right now, if you're listening to this show and
you go to xportsbody dot com and you schedule your
first your first tryout with Illy, she's gonna meet with
you for an hour. She's gonna work you out. Be ready,
don't eat half an hour before you go, Illy, you
tell Illy that you heard about us right here on
the radio show. I will come to your first workout.
(35:30):
I will schedule it and I will come and I
will work out with you, all right, I will. I
will be there to see you throw up, and I
will be there to dance in the stars that you
see in front of you. Now, if you're not gonna
throw up, I promise I've never thrown up, but I
did see stars. Because it is a seriously good twenty
minute workout, I promise you will not get a better one.
So Elly, let's put it all together. Because what we
(35:50):
were talking about in the break a minute ago we
got four minutes left, is I cannot remember the last
time I got sick, Like I can't remember the last
time I had to take medication for anything, and I
remember what it was. It was probably like a Z pack.
I don't even they have done it in five years
since I've known you. I know I got something at
some point, but it's usually like you get something from
a kid, you get a call, you get walking cold,
(36:12):
whatever the heck we call it. I mean, when's the
last time you got sick?
Speaker 3 (36:16):
I don't even remember nothing to where it stops me
in my tracks. I can still function a little, But
this is the point of doing something that helps you
be healthier. Yeah, you can go to the gym five
days a week. That's not the healthiest way to go exactly.
It's not you. Like I say, all these influencers and
bodybuilders and at some point they're in a hospital bed.
(36:37):
I'm like, dude, you're thirty years old. Yeah, you should
not be if. This is why I never understand how
people have different reasons to do things. Now, if you
have emotional need to be in the gym five days
a week, I understand, sure, but that's a different reason.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
If you're busy, if you have a family, you run
a business, you're busy, professional, you don't have to be
in the gym five days a week, and actually is
not the best thing for you.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
By the way, that's part of how you got me,
because of how busy, I am running multiple companies. Two.
I got to emphasize this. This is an executive workout,
but it's way better than that. And the reason I
say executive is because you can be an executive at
a Fortune five hundred company and you can fit this in.
This is on Kennedy, guys. All the big companies are
right here in South Tampa. You literally walk out the
door to your office on West Shore. You go to
(37:26):
the place on Kennedy right here next to Lasagoon Metro Diner.
You go in there for twenty minutes. Take ten minutes
to sit in the waterbed afterwards, this is awesome. You
change clothes. That's about forty minutes, all right. Then you
go back to the office one hour from the day
you walk out in the minute you walk out the
office to the minute you walk back in. By the way,
my office is on lineballf the veterans, and I can
(37:47):
do it in an hour leaving from there, going changing,
coming back. But I do want we have two minutes. Now,
let's wrap this together about health, because there's some basics
of health, and you really emphasize those at X force.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yes, sleep okay, sofficial sleep between seven and nine hours
a night with regular sleep schedule too. That's very important.
Number two is nutrition, hydration, stress mitigation. Don't let one
little thought derail your whole day and make you have
a bad day, right, Okay, Stress and lifting weights, that's it.
(38:19):
And those are the basics. And without those basics, your
hormones will not be okay, right.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
And it's not that hard. So I throw in there.
She has me drink water. We do, drink a gallon
of water. We try to get the sleep. That's super important.
I try to get eight hours during the school week's
school Yeah week, it's hard, I get it, but get
at least seven. By the way, I can, I tie
my sleep, and I can tell the difference if I
get under seven to over eight. There is a physical
difference in your body, I promise you teenagers. But anyway,
(38:48):
the sleep, the snacks. You taught me to eat the
little snacks, which is great. It is I can teach
you with Illy in thirty days how to change your life.
And if you go to X Force and you check
it out, when you go in there and say I
want to see the picture of Frank, promise you're going
to see because you're going to look at it when
you get on the scale, and it is not a
flattering picture, but I allow her to put it up
there because you can see a drastic transformation in my
(39:09):
body in just a couple months. And guys, I'm not
mister weight watchers, and I used to think those were
fake pictures. I now live it. I am one. I
challenge you to do that, and I challenge you to
meet me there and you can see what I've done
in five years at x force. That's Xforcebody dot com. Elli,

today except for having my good friend Illy from X
(01:09):
Force body who has been friends of me for over
five years. Ali, I'm inviting you to your Instagram right now.
You should be getting your invite. If not, you can
pull up the what do you call it? Business Happy Hour?
Push go to my page and hit request to join.
But you should have gotten a request by now. Hopefully
you radio listeners can hear us. We're usually way better
(01:30):
at our Instagram. Recently we have had a little issue
on that says Elly is unable to join. You may
have to check your settings or something on there. It's
not letting you join, but you'll have to Why don't
you request to join the show? Go to the live
and request that. For you radio listeners, thank you for listening.
Oh look there go. Illy just joined now she just
(01:50):
has to request to be on video. So for all
of you listeners who have never listened to the Business
Happy Hour, she is having problems getting on here. To
get this figured out, there might be a set you
might have to give, like it access to your camera
and your microphone. On Instagram, it's possible that your permissions
are turned off, which is weird. Because that's never happened
(02:12):
before with Illy. Illy is actually the one that helped
me change my entire health journey and my workout and
everything that I have been doing for five years. Up
looks looks like it's working. I just did an invite again.
So if you guys knew Fat Frank? Did anybody know
Fat Frank? Raise your hand, Nicole, You're not allowed to
(02:34):
raise your hand. But back in the day prior to COVID. Actually,
and it's funny, do you guys realize that COVID is
like going on five years ago? I guess COVID officially
started for most of us, like I think we heard
about it, like in January of twenty twenty. I met
Illy in I want to say it was like September
(02:59):
or something about Settember of twenty nineteen is when we
first met each other. And I actually had her on
my radio show. And you know, I loved working out.
I used to work out in college a lot. And
then of course, you know, you have your your kids
and you get the old dad bought. And I swear
(03:19):
that some people probably thought I had stock in Columbia
shirts because I'd wear those shirts and they would hide
the little dad gut, But I did find myself not
wanting to take my shirt off at the beach. It's legit.
I was I never I always used to make fun
of those guys and'd be like, this dude's got a
T shirt on in the pool, what's wrong with him?
Or then these the guy Harvey shirts started coming out,
(03:40):
and those nice smooth fishing shirts, so you'd wear those,
and then guys wear them in the pool, and you'd
look around and be like, there's other guys that have
these shirts on the pool. It's kind of cool. No,
it's not. It's not. Sorry cuz if you're listening today,
we were talking about this on the phone the other day.
He's like, I like wearing my shirt at the pool.
I'm like, you do until you don't have to anymore.
(04:00):
And take it from a guy who was one hundred
and eighty eight pounds almost one hundred and ninety pounds
on a five foot eight and a half maybe five
nine on a good day frame one eighty eight. Don't
look that good when you take your shirt off at
the pool. But you know what looks too? Skinny? One
forty eight. And that's how skinny I got After Illy
challenged me on the radio show. She literally sat across
(04:22):
me and she goes, all right, you say you want
to lose weight, you say you want to put on
muscle again, right, And I'm like, yeah, that's exactly what
I want to do. And they're like. She's like, well,
you can do it with just two days a week
out of the week. Two days is all she told
and twenty minutes a day. And she now here, she
is on my Instagram makes she turned on all your
volume and everything. So so she challenged me and she's like,
(04:47):
you can do this two days a week, twenty minutes
a day. And I Am like, you are totally full
of it. Yeah, turn your volume up, your mic, turn
your mic off. I'm like, okay, how's that gonna work.
I'm like, Illy, I like to eat food, and a
lot of it. I like fettuccini Alfredo, I like passa.
I like going to uh to Olive Garden back and
then I used to work there and I get the
tour of Italy. That's fettuccini, alfredo, lasagna, chicken palm, all
(05:10):
you can eat, breadsticks alfredo, dipping sauce and the salad.
I know me too, But here's the thing before I
met Illy. I mean, I knew that wasn't good for me,
but I didn't realize how many calories I was eating.
And listen, I'm not a weight watcher's boy, I promise you.
But I have seen the pictures and maybe maybe Illy
and I'll pill up a picture of me and we'll
(05:31):
throw it on the Instagram. So I don't even know
if I know how to like share a picture on
the Instagram. I'll have to figure that out. But anyway,
I U, I do have a fat picture. It's pretty funny,
which Illy displays proudly n X force body right.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Now, Balm, it is on the wall, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It really, it really is right by the scale. So
I guess it's kind of motivation for me. But long
story short, I didn't realize. I didn't realize how important
calories were. But but if you think about like an engine,
You got your car right, and you got to fill
it up with gas, and you need so much gas
to go from point A to point B. But what
happens if if you just put way too much gas
(06:11):
in the car. Well, it's good, gas is gonna go everywhere.
But what if you just fill your trunk up with gas. Well,
that's what I did, and that's what other the man
wearing those shirts at the beach. Don't lie. Don't say
that you like wearing shirts in the water. Okay, I
was a liar, I can admit it. I used to
say that I was happy with my shirt and the water.
Well I'm not. I don't have to worry about putting
sunscreen on because I got a shirt on. I don't
(06:33):
got to worry about that. And then when I get
out and have my soppin' at sopping wet shirt, I
put on the Columbia shirt right because it's short sleeve
and it was real big in the waist, so it
covered my dad bod and my gut. And I'd walk
around being like, Yeah, this guy's got a dadbod. This
guy's got a dad bad. Dad bods are cool. No,
they're not. No, they're not all right, Stop lying to yourself.
They're cool until you don't have one, and you think
(06:55):
it's hard to not have a dad bod. It's not hard.
I'm gonna tell eli did to me. First of all,
my at the time, I don't know nine year old daughter.
Eight year old daughter looks at me when I'm sitting
on the couch with a beer, sitting on my belly,
legit on my belly, and she goes, Dad, youar fatter
than Santa Claus. I mean it was funny. It was
like the smack your ass in the face moment because
(07:17):
I'm like, okay, yeah, I don't want to be fatter
than Santa Claus. Maybe like as fat, but not fat.
He Santa Claus. So I have Elly on the radio
show very ironically, like a week later, and she tells me,
two days a week, twenty minutes a day, you can
change your life. I tell her she's full of s right,
and she's like, well, give it a try. So I
go in the gym. I do the work on in
these Nautilus machines called X force Body. By the way,
(07:39):
xforcebody dot Com is a website. I'm gonna ramp about
this for a minute, and then we are going to
talk about the real estate market and mortgages for a
little and then we're going to get back into Ellie's
story and how do you lose all this weight? But
so I went in the gym, I did the workout.
She told me don't eat half an hour before I
went in. I listened, I still almost threw up. I
saw stars. Like if you've never seen stars, either A
you've never hit your head hard enough, be you've never
(08:01):
been punched, or see you've never been to X force
body one of the three. Because I saw freaking stars,
all right, I could have counted them. So but I
will tell you this. Five years later, I work out
on the same fourteen machines and I still get sore
to this day. How is that possible? How am I
working out for twenty minutes a day and I'm getting sore?
(08:21):
How did I have this journey where I literally lost
forty pounds to the point where I walked in and
Illy's like, you're not eating enough calories. What are you eating.
I'm like, well, you told me to eat like sixteen
to eighteen hundred calories. She's like, yeah, but now you
have all this muscle. Now you got to feed the muscle, dude.
She told me to go get a play to pasta
like literally, but I will tell you how she got
(08:42):
me on the diet, because this is something I think
is very important for people. As the word sorry, Elly,
I'm just talking. I'm talking it up today. She's going
to get to talk eventually diet. Diet is such a
bad word to so many people because when people hear diet,
at least what I heard was I can't eat what
I want. That's what I hear. Illy told me the
very first day. She goes, here's what you're gonna do.
You're gonna eat a lot less calories, going back to
(09:04):
this tour Italy. I'm gonna freaking google it and see
how many calories are in a tour of Italy. Let's
see how many calories are in a tour of Italy
from olive garden. It's got to be at least three thousand.
There has to be, so I'm gonna look it up.
But so at least telling me to eat sixteen to
eighteen hundred a day a day, and I would go
(09:26):
and eat an entire tour of Italy like it was
no tomorrow, and have some tear massou and probably have
some wine. Dude, we're probably talking four thousand calories. You
had me go down less than half of that for
the entire day. Right, But here's the best. Here's what
she told me to do. She said, Frank, go eat
what you like to eat, but eat half of it.
(09:47):
Oh my god, did that work. I'll never forget my
first dinner after my first X Force workout. We went
to outback and I ordered the filet, broccoli, caesar sala
and what is my other side? I got a potato, potatoes,
sour cream, butter and everything. Dude, I ate a half
(10:08):
of everything.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I was full.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I was full. Number one. I was full. I was full.
I was uls full. That's the important thing. I was happy.
I was full, and then I saved it and like
four hours later I ate some of the rest. Right,
But the key was she had already taught me how
to count my calories. So from that day forward, I
started paying attention to when I ate and how many
calories I put in my body, because again, it's like
a gas You got to burn the gas. If you
(10:34):
have too much gas in the tank, then you're not
burning it. So you want to put just the right
amount of gas in there to burn it, so your
body has enough fuel and enough energy, but it doesn't
have too much, because that's when you start packing on
the pounds. Right. The other thing, you told me, like
I could eat all these things. You told eat sour cream, cream, cheese.
You're like all this stuff a bagel. I walk in
(10:56):
and I've seen her eating bread and people are like, you, kid,
carbs bs? What did you tell me about carbs?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
You can build muscle without them, right.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You can't build muscle without carbs because you need the energy.
That's the gasoline, that's the fuel. Right now, you can
do other things. You can add protein and do all
these other cool things that we're gonna learn from Elly today.
But I really wanted to take I just took that
whole segment explaining to you guys kind of the why
what happened to me? I was I was fat, Frank
my friends didn't tell me. I hate all of you
for not telling me. You know why you didn't tell
me because you were happy that I was fatter than you.
(11:27):
But now what do you say? And I'll tell you
what you're saying. You go on exportsbody dot com. You
gotta check it out. You guys have seen what has
done for me. You have seen that I have maintained
this weight loss. I've packed on muscle. I'm not one
hundred and forty eight pounds anymore. I'm like one hundred
and sixty something, but I've got muscle. I've got almost
a full six pack. I don't have to wear a
shirt anymore. Matter of FACTNA, I'm gonna throw my shirts away.
(11:48):
I'll probably go to jail. I love eat me. Let
me eat in a restaurant again.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Friends tell Frank to keep his shirt on.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
They did, They tell it anyway. I gotta go take
a break. We'll be back in a minute with Illy
from Exports Body. We'll learn about a workout journey day too.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
All the best mortgage or real estate advice from Tampa
Bay's top experts. It's the business Happy Hour with Frank,
de Bank, Koto and Sennia.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
All right, so we I know our commercials do say
mortgage and real estate advice. Senya is unfortunately out today.
Her little guy fractured at his wrist. I think it
was sad little guy. You know, I knock on wood here.
I lived my end. She's screw myself when I say this.
But I lived my whole life and have not broken
a bone. Knock knocktock doc talk. My kids have not
broken a bone. Dock doc doc talk. So I don't
(12:31):
know what I'm doing right. Maybe maybe you know my
dad didn't beat me hard enough. I'm not beating my
kids hard enough. I don't know exactly, but James, you
had that one cued up. But I yeah, I don't know.
I've never broke a bone, but so I can imagine
it's traumatic for a little guy to break a bone
and doesn't know what's going on, and you got to
wear the cast. So Sennya, I hope everything's going good
(12:52):
over there. Illy and I are going to talk a
little bit about real estate. We'll probably do it, and
we'll do it in this segment, and then we're going
to get into this whole health journey. But by the way,
all you dad bobs out that dad bod's out there,
I'm talking to you. I know I was rasing you
in that first segment, but I'm serious. I am so
happy that I met Illy and that I went on
this workout journey. And I know, Illy, you're gonna say
(13:14):
it's you, it's not me. But everybody needs a catalyst, everybody,
whether it's your daughter telling you you're fatter than Santa Claus.
And then ironically you go do a radio show and
you have somebody that gives you the path. Because I
think that's really what a lot of people don't. They
don't they think, oh, I just got to go to
the gym. I gotta not eat carbs. I got to
not eat anything I want. I gotta get on weight watchers. Dude,
(13:36):
I've tried it all. I've done fit Live foods. You know,
I focused on only eating here there. In the end,
it just becomes a habit. You start paying attention to
what you eat. You know, crap in crap out right,
really crap in crap goes to your belly, you know,
don't put it in then doesn't go to your belly.
But guys, dude, I eat out, by the way. Secret.
I eat out every single day. And I know a
(13:57):
lot of people would probably say that's terrible for you,
and right right, because most people you can't say. I
literally go to a restaurant every single day. And if
I don't go to a restaurant on a day on
a weekend, I'm like celebrating. I'm like, thank God, I
didn't have to go buy a restaurant meal this weekend.
Of course, I go on the weekends. The family wants
to go out to dinner and stuff like that, but
(14:17):
I go to lunch every single day. I go to
breakfast at a restaurant two days a week, probably three
if you count my weekends, and then I don't know dinners,
I'm probably going out to eat three or four nights
a week. How do I maintain it? Simple? I just
pay attention to what I eat, but I still eat
what I want. And if I want that dang chicken
Brian with all the cheese and the honey mustard, well
damn it. Frankie's ordering the chicken Brian and he's eating.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Half of it. It's not what, it's how much?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
How much? That's it. It's so magical.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So when people come and say, oh, I had ice cream,
so what with big deal? It's okay.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
You know what you told me because I told you
I had a sweet tooth. I don't if you remember this,
but you're like, at the end of the night, eat
a little something sweet, eat a piece of chocolate. If
satisfy that sweet tooth before you go to bed, it's
like my final little dosa calorie. Keep my metabolism going.
So another thing you taught me is you got to
keep the metabolism going. This fasting stuff is a fat dude,
like your body needs. It's like an engine. It's got
(15:10):
to run. You got to give it a little bit
of fuel all day long.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You can fast, and there may be some benefits to it,
but not when you're trying to build and keep muscle. Right,
if you're sitting all day doing nothing, fine, you can
fast all you can fast for three days and survive,
but the goal is not survival. The goal is right,
I don't want to survive my day. I want to
crush my workout. I want to feel good, I want
(15:34):
to have energy I want it's maximizing your muscle and
keep keeping active.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Maximizing your muscle. I mean, there's a million things that
we could say, you know how to do it, but
the bottom line is just making a habit. Pay attention
to what you eat. Crap in, crap out, don't eat
so much of it. Enjoy life. But listen, if you
can work out two days a week, twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
It's all you need. That's all you need.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Now, why really tell us this? What is the premise
on just two days a week. There's a reason for that.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
There's a reason for Like I said, perfect dose, right,
just like medication, exercise needs to be dozed perfectly as well. Okay,
so the two days a week allows for sufficient recovery.
We know we need forty eight hours recovery from fifty
(16:29):
plus years with the Nautilus studies, the Doctor Darden studies, right, right,
It's funny because I looked it up not too long ago.
The latest study in twenty sixteen on how often we
should lift weights, it says each muscle group twice a
week for the most efficient muscle building for sufficient recovery.
(16:52):
So we've been doing it because a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So let me let me let me break that down,
because I know all the gym rats out there saying, well,
that's what I do. I do chesting, trest and try
back and buy legs shoulders one day. So I do
it every single day. I do the muscle groups. Illy,
I'm doing what you say.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
They're doing it this way because in their mind, if
I train upper body only my lower body is resting. Right,
it's wrong because the I always ask people the question,
what do you think changes your body? What do you
think recovers your body? Your body recovers your body.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Our recovering systems the heart, the kidneys, the cardiovascular system,
the endocrine.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
System, nervous system.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
The nervous system is our body system to recover us, right, Okay,
but those systems, they don't know where the stress is
coming from. They don't know if you're emotionally stressed, if
you run a marathon, if you train legs or chest,
if you're sick, it's the same process of recovery, right right,
(18:01):
So now if you train just legs, then just back,
you're recovering. Systems don't know where the stress is coming from,
so they're constantly busting to recover you every single day
from something. They don't know if it's flu, if it's COVID,
if you train legs, or if you run a marathon.
Right right, So now we know train the body as
(18:26):
a unit, give the body a chance to fully recover
you as a unit, and then train it again as
a unit. This is why at x force we do
full body workouts.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Okay, so you just nailed it in that sense. Train
the body as a unit. So it's so the common
misconception is that people are not training as a unit.
They're training as a muscle group. And they think because
I'm training only this muscle group, that that muscle group
is recovering when I go to train another one. But
(18:56):
the truth is you're leaving the engine running.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
The whole time, right, So those systems they don't know
it's leg day, chess day, back day, they don't know
where it's coming from. It's just stress.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
They just know that they're being used exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
They know that we're and then over time, this is
why people start in January. They go hard two months, right,
and by month three they fall off because they're exhausted,
their immune system is run down. They start getting sick
because this is one of the symptoms of overtraining. Overtraining
(19:28):
is a serious condition. You know, do you know how
many bodybuilders I know that all of a sudden they're
posting pictures in the hospital, right.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Right, Actually, we're gonna talk about that. We gotta run
and take a quick break here. Illi and I are
having way too much fun. I promise we'll talk some
real estate probably in the third segment, but we're having
way too much fun talking about changing your life, changing
your waistline, changing your attitude and your health. Got to
go to x forcebody dot com and she will give
you that workout in person in Palm Harbor or South
Tampa on Kennedy esportsbody dot com. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Here's Frank de Bank and Senia Hi Tampa Bay. Welcome
back to the Business Happy Hour, your number one show
for all things business and entrepreneurial. Though I just found
out my son might have gotten in trouble for long
hair at Jesuit can't have long had better watch yourselves
on her there. That's right, we've got spies everywhere. So
before the break, Illy Storylova and I good friend of mine.
(21:09):
She she's helped change my life. I'm sorry. I'm giving
you credit. I always do because you gave me the
path I had to. I know, she just gets it
right back to me. I had to choose to make
the decisions. I had to eat less calories, which now
I just walked what I eat. I mean, yeah, I
don't listen, guys, I see it, I see it right.
I don't count my calories anymore. I used to kind
of count them. I actually had the point where when
(21:30):
my wife was making like our home cooked meals, which
I loved, we actually like got this program where you
could tell what you could say what you were putting in,
like two eggs, flour, this or this, whatever the hell
it was, and it would say this is what the
total recipe had, and then you could figure out, well,
how am I gonna eat twenty five percent of this whatever?
I knew how many calories I But just by doing
(21:50):
that for thirty days, you get a really really good
understanding of what's what. So like today, I just actually
decided I didn't tell you this last couple weeks. I
decided to actually start focused on eating more protein because
I do these scans at x force body where it
scans my whole body. It tells me my fat composition,
my body composition, my muscle growth. It gives me an
outline of yourself, almost naked, where you can like see
(22:12):
things like your shape and stuff. Anyway, when I looked
at the last one of this one, I didn't have
any muscle increase. Right, I actually went down in fat.
I went down there, you know. So I decided, you
know what, I'm actually gonna do what you've told me.
I'm gonna start increasing my protein a little bit and
see if I can't. So I'm eating some pee protein.
I stopped by Smoothie King on the way here. Now
(22:34):
here's what happened. When I went to smooth King. I
did not order the strawberry chocolate Hulk like I would
have in high school. It's like literally like fifteen hundred calories.
I got the Gladiator, and it ranges from two twenty
to nine hundred calories. And that's depending on what you
put in it and the size you get. So I
got a small because guess what, guys, the small has
the same forty five grams of protein as the freaking large. Right,
(22:56):
So I got forty five grands of protein. I threw
a scoop of peanut butter in there and some straw,
So I mean, I'm probably in sitting at three four
hundred calories for that, but I'm getting that extra protein
which will help me build some muscle. And yeah, I
do weigh a little more now than than than where
I maybe want to be, because yeah, it's easy to
lose a little weight and get a six pack, but
I want What's what's interesting is I'm totally squirreling my son, Landing.
(23:18):
He messes with me all the time and he's like, yeah,
He's like, that's like a fat six pack. I'm like, no, dude,
did you know Landed that the the abs are muscles
and they actually grow and I actually stick out when
they're big, Right, They're not these little these little things
that you kids have where you just have little lines
there because there's no muscles.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Tell him, tell him, my goal is not to be skinny.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Oh, my goal is not to be skinny, buddy, Exactly,
I'm gonna I'm gonna be buff, more buff than you.
That's right. So Italy, before the break, we're we're talking
about the health benefits of working out, and one of
the things that you you kind of quickly mentioned was
getting sick.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Getting sick is another symptom of overtraining. When people do
too much exercise. We say, oh, exercise is medicine, so
we can just do as much as we want without
side effects, just like medication when they say take a
pill morning and evening. Is it going to help you
(24:16):
faster if you take the whole bottle? Right?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Nope.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
So symptoms of overtraining are sleep quality reduction. You can't
sleep well, your immune system weakens, so you start getting sick.
You constantly feel run down. Another another symptom is getting
(24:41):
injured all the time. How many times you hear people
getting gym injuries.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
A lot, especially at Orange Theory. Sorry negative plug Orange Theory.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
It is a fact. If you love doing Orange Theory,
sure love it. Just accept the risks of injury, just
like any sport.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Last week on this show, who tore her acl at
Orange Theory?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Happens every freaking week.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Okay, I believe that our workouts should be helping us
become resilient to injuries. Right, This is when you're lifting
right the right way, where your workouts when was the
last time you got.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Injured at exports. It's I'm not gonna say it's impossible.
It's it's as closed to impossible as that could be.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Exactly. It was the door in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Right, yeah, both and James said at the same time
it was this scar right here. And no, I wasn't drunk.
No I coughed into an addresser. But anyway, no, no,
I don't get I don't get injured there. Matter of fact,
X Force has taught me to slow down my motions,
right because you have the the hold on, hold on
and say, right, uh, three one five, which is how
(25:51):
does that work?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Three seconds positive lifting face, one second hold and five
second lowering phase. Moving the way it's slow means your
muscles is working harder. Right, But you're protecting the joints
when you move the way fast. Old, Look, you're using
momentum which causes the impact to go to the joint.
(26:14):
This is how you get injured.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
One hundred percent. Matter of fact, when I do my
pull ups now, I now go very slow on the backside. Now,
granted you can't pull twenty quick pull ups like that,
you can get like ten to quality good ones.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Right, right, and it's you know, quality versus quantity. You
can do a lot more fast, but you're it's not
the smartest way to go.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well, I it's not how many you do, it's the quality.
By the way, on with X force and mentioned this
to you guys, we're gonna talk about these machines here
in a minute. There's only seven machines on each side.
I think you call it the pull and push side
something like that. Ah.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yes, one side has more compound exercises with meach which
means multiple joints. But the point is that you have
a lot of variety, right, because I promise you most
people they go to gym and lift on their own, right,
don't use more than six exercises, and they repeat the
same six right. Right, you have fourteen different ways to
(27:14):
approach a muscle, which helps you prevent injuries from overuse. Exactly,
if you use bench every time the same way, you're
gonna get injury, shoulder injury just from using the same
exact right. It's called injuries from overuse. And that variety
helps you avoid injuries.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yep, it does, and they mix it up for you.
I mean I have literally used these same fourteen machines
for five and a half years.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Which is way more than the average Jim guy.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Uses the same five or six that I would say,
because think about you going there and what are you
gonna do. You're gonna do some bench press, you might
do some free weights, you go to do some curls,
you're gonna do your shoulder presses. What are you really doing?
You know, by the way, we're doing all of that, guys, Okay,
this isn't like aerobics. Okay, we're actually doing this and
it is hard. Okay, So the way it works is
(28:06):
you taught me this. Your body can lower forty percent
more than it can lift or press, right, So so
basically it's Schwarzenegger and Frignant and all these guys knew this.
That's why you'd see these videos of them putting twice
the weight that they could actually bench press on the
bar and the bar would be bending and low, and
his buddy be on the side and Arnold would be
on the bench and they would lift it up for
(28:27):
him and get it to the peak, and then he
would lower it down real slow, just like an X force.
And what was he doing, Haley when he did that?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
He's negatives?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
The negatives and I love it because you taught me
there's like two sides to the muscle, and we're only
working out one when we push it up and we
let gravity just drop it back down to our chest. Well,
we're not getting we're not getting the other side. That's
what these guys knew forty years ago.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
We just didn't have the technology to build the equipment
around it. Right now, we have x force, right and
x Force is the only negative strength training tool in
the world. Nobody else has it. Only five businesses in
America have it. That it comes from Sweden. But I
tell people, if you tell me you're lifting weights, makes
(29:13):
me happy, because lifting weights is good for you. But
the difference between X force negative machines and traditional weights
is in the level of healthy hormones that your body
is boosting to help you recover. We're talking growth hormone now, Frank,
you cannot touch those hormones with traditional weights. That's the difference.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, let's talk about hormones. This comes up a lot
these days. Everybody's talking about hormones and how when we
get a little older in our forties, girls and boys,
where our bodies start changing and stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
And yeah, that's a separate topic. How people nowadays say
I can't lose weight, I'm gonna go check my hormones, okay,
And I go, okay, but your sleep is crap. And
I'm dead serious. If you're sleeping six hours on average
all night, you never fix your hormones. There's no way,
because healthy sleep provides for normal hormone production. So the
(30:11):
hormones with the equipment, they get boosted because of the
deep level in which those machines break your muscles down.
And we're talking growth hormone, which is everybody knows people
take shots of it, which creeps me out because I
don't know what goes with the shot. Insulin growth factor
which helps you lose fat faster than ever, also protects
(30:31):
from diabetes. Now muscle protects from diabetes and helps people
with diabetes. If you get diagnosed with diabetes, go lift
weights right. The third one is interlukeunce six, which is
one of the biggest anti inflammatories, and in the last
five years they did studies with cancer patients and they
(30:53):
found that interlucunce six, it's a chemical slash hormones, literally
shrinks tumors on cancer patients. So interloqun six kills cancer cells.
So when you're thinking lifting weights, it's not just for
muscle and looks. It's for your health. And again, if
(31:14):
somebody gets diagnosed with cancer, go lift weights. Don't listen
to a doctor that says, oh, just rest, just relax.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
No, you need to lift weights because you want your
body to emit these things right, to create these things.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Yes, and muscle is responsible for so many things, including
healthy hormone function. I say lifting weights is the basics,
just like sleep, just like nutrition. If we don't have
the basics, going and getting hormones injected is like trying
(31:49):
to win a basketball game with our shoes on tied.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And that's a great analogy. With that, we're gonna take
a break care in the business happier. When we get
back on our last segment, we're gonna wrap it all
up into health, the benefits, least sickness, and what you
can do.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Check it out your show, your host Frank the bank Kodo,
owner of Lincoln Lending Group, and his co host Senya Akishana,
realtor with Mahara and Associates.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
You got a fans I know, right. All right, guys,
welcome back to the business. Happy we are having too
much fun in the break. By the way, if you
want to join in, that is fun that we have
every day because we keep talking about the Instagram when
we're doing We've got a whole crew of guys who
who watch our show religiously. We are on Instagram every Tuesday,
usually from about twelve ten until I'm sorry, eleven ten
(32:33):
until one o'clock eleven and ten to one o'clock. Always
at least eleven fifteen to one o'clock. That is our
our forty five minutes that we're on. So you guys
join the business. Happy are on Instagram and you guys
can chime in all look at it. You guys got
to go to class now have fun. You guys got
a break today, and we're going to talk about this
in this segment because illy, we're talking in the break
(32:54):
about how kind of wrapping this all together. And sorry, guys,
I didn't really talk mortgages, but I will mention I'll
do a shameless plug real quick. Don't forget that I
do do mortgages. This healthy guy likes to sell healthy
mortgages as well all types of mortgages one hundred percent
financing FHAVA, conventional reverse mortgage is one of my favorite
things in the world. If you're over fifty five years
old and you have equity in your home, it doesn't matter.
(33:16):
If you are behind on your mortgage payment, you could
be in foreclosure. We can take care of you with
a reverse mortgage today. There is no application. Credit doesn't matter.
Income is not even that big of a deal. It's
the easiest mortgage to get approved for if you have
equity in your home and you're over fifty five. By
the way, it's the only thing that I'll tell you this,
the older the better. The older you are, the better
(33:37):
it is for you when you're getting a reverse mortgage.
So don't feel bad. If we just did a reverse
mortgage for a ninety three year old retired doctor and
we had a great show with Tris burt On here
telling her reverse mortgage testimonial. That is on reverse guru
dot com. That's reverse guru dot com. That's where you
can watch the videos that I put out there and
you can reach out to me directly. That's reverse guru
(33:57):
dot com. Illy good Friend from x Force Body five
locations in the entire United States, and you own two
of them.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
No. Five businesses in the United States have the equipment.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Five have the equipment.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yes, they're different businesses. They're not US X Force Body
O x force is only here, only here, And there's
one in Gainesville too, where doctor Darden did the research.
The research was conducted in Gainesville.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
In Gainesville, and then the other ones across the country.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
So there's different businesses that have the equipment, but they're
not US.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
They're not so three x forces at period period and
they're in Florida. They're in Florida to in Tampa one
Palm Harbor on nineteen Tom Harbor, South Tampa on Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yes, in Gainesville, and then a couple other businesses have
the equipment. Okay, but they don't do the whole program
like US.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Got it. I'll tell you what, if I ever move
out of Tampa, probably never happening, I'm buying that equipment.
Whatever I gotta do to have that equipment, It'll cost
me as much as a house, but I will have
that equipment. God, illy man, we've had so much fun today,
So let's kind of wrap it all together. And by
the way, Exportsbody dot Com is where you go, and hey,
you know what, I'm gonna make a promise to my
(35:10):
listeners right now, if you're listening to this show and
you go to xportsbody dot com and you schedule your
first your first tryout with Illy, she's gonna meet with
you for an hour. She's gonna work you out. Be ready,
don't eat half an hour before you go, Illy, you
tell Illy that you heard about us right here on
the radio show. I will come to your first workout.
(35:30):
I will schedule it and I will come and I
will work out with you, all right, I will. I
will be there to see you throw up, and I
will be there to dance in the stars that you
see in front of you. Now, if you're not gonna
throw up, I promise I've never thrown up, but I
did see stars. Because it is a seriously good twenty
minute workout, I promise you will not get a better one.
So Elly, let's put it all together. Because what we
(35:50):
were talking about in the break a minute ago we
got four minutes left, is I cannot remember the last
time I got sick, Like I can't remember the last
time I had to take medication for anything, and I
remember what it was. It was probably like a Z pack.
I don't even they have done it in five years
since I've known you. I know I got something at
some point, but it's usually like you get something from
a kid, you get a call, you get walking cold,
(36:12):
whatever the heck we call it. I mean, when's the
last time you got sick?
Speaker 3 (36:16):
I don't even remember nothing to where it stops me
in my tracks. I can still function a little, But
this is the point of doing something that helps you
be healthier. Yeah, you can go to the gym five
days a week. That's not the healthiest way to go exactly.
It's not you. Like I say, all these influencers and
bodybuilders and at some point they're in a hospital bed.
(36:37):
I'm like, dude, you're thirty years old. Yeah, you should
not be if. This is why I never understand how
people have different reasons to do things. Now, if you
have emotional need to be in the gym five days
a week, I understand, sure, but that's a different reason.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
If you're busy, if you have a family, you run
a business, you're busy, professional, you don't have to be
in the gym five days a week, and actually is
not the best thing for you.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
By the way, that's part of how you got me,
because of how busy, I am running multiple companies. Two.
I got to emphasize this. This is an executive workout,
but it's way better than that. And the reason I
say executive is because you can be an executive at
a Fortune five hundred company and you can fit this in.
This is on Kennedy, guys. All the big companies are
right here in South Tampa. You literally walk out the
door to your office on West Shore. You go to
(37:26):
the place on Kennedy right here next to Lasagoon Metro Diner.
You go in there for twenty minutes. Take ten minutes
to sit in the waterbed afterwards, this is awesome. You
change clothes. That's about forty minutes, all right. Then you
go back to the office one hour from the day
you walk out in the minute you walk out the
office to the minute you walk back in. By the way,
my office is on lineballf the veterans, and I can
(37:47):
do it in an hour leaving from there, going changing,
coming back. But I do want we have two minutes. Now,
let's wrap this together about health, because there's some basics
of health, and you really emphasize those at X force.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yes, sleep okay, sofficial sleep between seven and nine hours
a night with regular sleep schedule too. That's very important.
Number two is nutrition, hydration, stress mitigation. Don't let one
little thought derail your whole day and make you have
a bad day, right, Okay, Stress and lifting weights, that's it.
(38:19):
And those are the basics. And without those basics, your
hormones will not be okay, right.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
And it's not that hard. So I throw in there.
She has me drink water. We do, drink a gallon
of water. We try to get the sleep. That's super important.
I try to get eight hours during the school week's
school Yeah week, it's hard, I get it, but get
at least seven. By the way, I can, I tie
my sleep, and I can tell the difference if I
get under seven to over eight. There is a physical
difference in your body, I promise you teenagers. But anyway,
(38:48):
the sleep, the snacks. You taught me to eat the
little snacks, which is great. It is I can teach
you with Illy in thirty days how to change your life.
And if you go to X Force and you check
it out, when you go in there and say I
want to see the picture of Frank, promise you're going
to see because you're going to look at it when
you get on the scale, and it is not a
flattering picture, but I allow her to put it up
there because you can see a drastic transformation in my
(39:09):
body in just a couple months. And guys, I'm not
mister weight watchers, and I used to think those were
fake pictures. I now live it. I am one. I
challenge you to do that, and I challenge you to
meet me there and you can see what I've done
in five years at x force. That's Xforcebody dot com. Elli,
