We have these special scenarios all the time where it's like, hey, the Olympics are coming, world championships are coming. We can juice up this a little bit with all kinds of little tricks, but those don't last. And sometimes they burn you into a bigger hole. So if we're thinking long-term strategy with you, I'd say, great, I'm fine with two. We would scope up a little program.

And in your brain, it goes to two. And I'm watching. And I'm like, Jay, you didn't do this thing for recovery. It's been three days. It's been a week. We're at zero for recovery. Don't expect fitness goals with no recovery. Bam. Jay, went out again last night. Went out a little again, took another trip. Friends has been at three or four. You get the point here, right?

So I can hold you really accountable to that and saying, if you're not getting your fitness goal, number one starter is, are you even giving it a chance to succeed? If not, we have a non-starter and we have to change our expectations. If you want more results, You got to give me more pie. Give me a bigger shot at it and we'll get more results.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

So let me run you through two specific examples on that. I love you brought up travel. This is super easy. We have a coaching program called Arate. This is this like excellence in kind of everything program. If you were an Arate with us right now, I would say, great, you've been home. I'm going to change your entire program. It's going to be more gym stuff. We're going to lift more weights.

It's going to be more gym stuff. We're going to lift more weights.

We're going to have a very specific plan. I'm going to ask you to report back exactly how much you lifted and we're going to track it and we're going to do heavy there. Had we flipped the rule and you were all of a sudden on the road, I would say, great. If I gave that same program, that's going to be a terrible one. It's not going to work. Why?

Because everywhere you land, you're going to have to go to find a gym. It's not going to work. And then the hotel gym sucks. Like, I've set you up for failure. That's bad coaching. I would have spent six weeks going, you know what? Here's what we're going to do. It's called a flexible program. We don't need anything more than a band and a kettlebell. Okay? Maybe not even the kettlebell.

And we're going to rotate the days. So what I mean by that is, right now, if you're at home, I would say, okay, Mondays are this. Tuesdays are this. Wednesdays are this. And when you didn't do that on Wednesday, I'd be calling you. Why didn't you finish? Why didn't we train Wednesday? I don't care. I'm on it, right? That doesn't work for you on the road.

I would do more flexible program where we have a concept we're trying to hit. We're trying to get a strength training day in. You do that strength training day, whatever day that comes up. And as soon as you get it in, we check it off. And then we have, say, the next day is gonna be a long duration workout. Great, you get that in when you can.

But we also have flexibility because when you go, hey, you know what? I got an extra hour today. There was no gym, but I went for an hour walk. Boom, got that thing in. You have different things you can plug and play based on availability, time, and energy, right? So that's the way to have you success.
