Pat and Zach talk about Pat's 11 rules for getting started with a workout program.

PAT'S 11 RULES:

1. God didn't invent couches, recliners, McDonald's or Wendy's, man did that because he is weak – but he did invent you and your two working arms and legs so get at it.

2. Your mind wants you to give up when your body has only given 40% (credit to @davidgoggins for this)

3. 100 is the new 20

4. Unless your 16-25 years old you won't build anything in 20 minutes a day. That's like telling you to pay off your credit card using only minimum payment. It's better than not paying but holy cow is that bs. Stop looking for quick fixes. You are going to have to suffer and learn to love it.

5. Don't listen to anyone unless you are paying them to train you or you are specifically asking a professional. Everyone wants to tell you a better way and at the end of the day, you haven't repeated enough of the same types of reps to do anything. Discipline and consistency is the key.

With Pat McCormick, Zach Englehart SPECIAL GUEST: Ayla Chase

In this edition of the TEN LIST, Ayla tells us ten ways we can both connect with ourselves and the world. Ayla is an Army Officer, ultra-athlete, rock climber, ice climber, triathlete, crossfitter, EMT - the list goes on and on!

CONNECTING WITH YOURSELF UNDERSTAND, RESPECT, AND APPRECIATE YOURSELF

• The probability of your existence is close to nil.
• The fact that you exist is a miracle.
• Leaning into controlled suffering.
• Get outside of your comfort zone.
• Pain + perseverance = strength
• Keep track of all the things you have achieved and remind yourself what you are capable of when things get hard?

FAIL

• If you have never failed then you have never tried.
• Push yourself beyond your known limits.
• Failure, like success, is self-defined.
• Fail forward.

BE CURIOUS

• Don't worry about being good at something before you try - go out and do it! Proficiency comes later.
• Take every opportunity to learn about life.
• Think Like DaVinci

CONNECTING WITH OTHERS: EVERYONE HAS A STORY

• You never know what other people are going through.
• Approach every conflict with questions.
• Everyone's perception is their individual reality.
• Everyone is fighting a battle that you know nothing about.

SONDER

• You are a part of a much larger story.
• Your actions create ripples in other people's lives.
• We are all interconnected.

BE SCARED

• Feel the fear and do it anyway.

VOLUNTEER

• The best way to learn about yourself is to give to others.
• Seeing how other people live, puts your existence into perspective.

GO OUTSIDE

• Get off the screens.
• Go outside. 
• Mental and physical benefits.

SIMPLE ACTS OF KINDNESS

• Whether big or small, simple acts of kindness are a direct route to happiness and have a butterfly effect throughout the world.
• Don't stop at strangers.
• Social media has given us a "connection illusion" - clicking "like" has taken the place of engagement with people who need to feel important.

SMILE

• Smiling improves the lives of people around you.
• Smiling has proven to release dopamine in your brain. Using the muscle in your face can actually make you happy.
