Do you beat yourself hard when you slip up on your fitness routine? Or do you throw in the towel when you feel like you’re drifting apart?

Friends, 42ers, here’s the truth: it’s okay not to be in your A-game all year round. Yes, you read that right.

You have to understand that there are seasons of fitness, just like there are seasons in the world. Even we, coaches, also have in-seasons and off-seasons. Why? Because we’re not 100% perfect human beings. 

There is a season to go hard (like most people are in January), but then there’s also a season to take your foot off the gas. However, it doesn’t mean you have to stop moving. How do you do that?

Tune in now and learn more about the seasons of fitness and how to plan yours, the latest happenings in the Fit in 42 universe, what you need to know about whey protein, and more.

Let’s jump right into it!

We've been abused for a few years. Gym people were mostly ridiculed, especially during the height of covid. Some people considered us as the "super spreaders". But are we?

A recent article just came out, and I know I have to get the word out. 

So, after all the restrictions (especially to gym facilities) and covid guidelines that took a toll on people’s physical and mental health, I came across something that should have been shared earlier. And I don't want to say, "I told you so.", but I thought everyone should need to hear this.

The Washington Post article says that those who exercise die less from covid. And between those who don't exercise and who exercise at least 150 minutes per week, the former group was 391% more likely to die after developing covid. 

Where was this the last two years when there were just rules - rules that were crushing us, gym people, from all angles? 

Tune in now and listen to what Ryann and I have to say about this recent study and some key takeaways on exercising.

Let's get started!

"If you take away the ability to exercise for someone, I guess they're gonna wish they were able to exercise if they could have prevented something." - Gerry Washack

"Taking care of yourself is preventative work. That's the frontline defense against disease, illness, and mental issues. Don't wait for the Black Plague to come to start caring for yourself like most people did" - Ryann McMillon

"Disease and illness are all linked to nutrition and how you care for yourself. So do the work NOW." - Ryann McMillon

Key Takeaways:

Introduction (00:00)

Quick fun fact (02:58)

"New Year is like a fresh start. It's something like, 'Okay, I might not have everything I wanted this year, I might not have achieved my goals, I might not have been as good as I want it to be, but I get another start.'" - Gerry Washack

"When you're intentional, deliberate, thoughtful, and strategic about your life, you'll achieve everything you want." - Ryann McMillon

How well do you know yourself? Who do you visualize yourself to be? Are you showing up as your best self yet?

We actually have two versions of ourselves - the anti-self and the ultimate self.

The anti-self is the root cause to all of our problems - depression, anxiety, anger, mood swings, etc. And the ultimate self is the highest version of ourselves or the person we all want to be.

In this week's episode, Ryann shares a step-by-step guide on tapping into that ultimate self and having it as your dominating self.

Once you master this exercise, you'd be surprised how it can really change the way you view and live your life.

Remember, you are what you feed yourself every day. So, choose to feed your ultimate self every single day.

"It's a struggle to watch people die while they're alive instead of living while they're here." - Ryann McMillon

"Do everything in your power every day to feed the wolf of ultimate self." - Ryann McMillon

"Identify the great parts about yourself, who you want to be, and who you visualize yourself to be. And think about it and be intentional." - Gerry Washack
