Today the boys unpack an interesting discussion.

What is better?

Having the accountability to train on your own, with nothing but self motivation.

OR

Being motivated by friends, and always training in a group.

There are definitely positives to both.

Question - why do you exercise? Or, to word it another way, what do you get from exercise?

Most people when they join a gym, say they're doing it for a range of three reasons. Get fit Lose weight Tone up

But often, that isn't the real reason someone trains.

Today, Trav and Pat take you through why they train, and why a lot of people that come to Reborn train.

Spoiler alert, the answers aren't what you'd think.

Listen along and enjoy the ride.

There is a real push for running at the moment, with plenty of events and run clubs going off.

Elon Musk was on a podcast recently.

He was asked about jealousy.

"My mind is a storm. I don't think most people would want to be me. They may think they would want to be me, but they don't. They don't know, they don't understand."

This is why jealousy is a stupid emotion.

Here's Naval on jealousy:

"I realised that all these people that I was jealous of, I couldn't just cherry-pick and choose little aspects of their life.

I couldn't say I want his body, I want her money, I want his personality.

You have to be that person.

Do you want to actually be that person with all of their reactions, their desires, their family, their happiness level, their outlook on life, their self-image?

If you're not willing to do a wholesale, 24/7, 100% swap with who that person is, then there is no point in being jealous."

The price you'd need to pay to be the person you admire is probably one you would not foot the bill for.

Today Trav and Pat delve deep into your mental state influencing what your body can do, and how powerful your words and thoughts are, leading to your actions.

There's a couple of examples of studies that the boys speak about that show: 'Where the mind goes, the body will follow'.

Fitness isn't everything.

But everything in life is easier when you're fit.

Today Trav and Pat talk about a few examples of life being really difficult for people they know.

Yes, there's plenty of cliches coming today.

But there's also a lot of depth in what the boys talk about.

If you take easy choices, you'll have a hard life. If you take hard choices, you'll have an easy life.

There's a zinger for ya.

Question: At what stage of success do you get satisfied? Are you ever satisfied? Is that a bad thing? Do you celebrate your wins?

Today the boys talk about being satisfied, content and acknowledging our wins.

Like a lot of these podcasts do, it comes back to gratitude, and the boys touch on some heartfelt moments in their own lives.

Expect to have a think back at your own lives after hearing this chat, especially if you're a parent!

If you take a cold shower every day, but don't tell anyone about it, does it actually count?

Do you take cold showers yourself? Or do you think everyone that takes cold showers has rocks in their head?

Most people have an opinion at an extreme end of the spectrum.

Today, Trav and Pat take you through the benefits of cold showers, who should and shouldn't do it, and what benefits they have got from doing it consistently themselves.

Whether you think it's a good idea or not, have a listen, because you might have your mind changed.

The man in the arena. Theodore Roosevelt said this speech back in 1910.

It's amazing not only how it is still relevant today, but potentially even more relevant because of social media.
