Number one, let's give ourselves some grace that this is the way the human body is. Any person who's had a child is gonna be transformed. And that is just the way it is, right? Don't crucify yourself. That being said, if we're living in a time of excess energy all the time, the way that I've described for you, the high intensity energy

interval, let's clarify that, the sprint intervals plus the weightlifting is what's going to transform your body. And you may never get rid of that extra little inch, but you'll get rid of most of it. You'll get rid of the back fat. You'll get rid of the heavy hips people don't like. And you will decrease visceral fat, the fat that is inside the smothering your organs will decrease.

And that's what we really want, right?

And that's what we really want, right?

The peripheral fat is that which you can pinch, whether it's on your hips or in your belly, around your belly button. That's not the fat that's going to really kill you. That's the annoying fat. That fat does make a protein called leptin, which is bad for your metabolism. It is bad for your bones.

But it is the visceral fat, the fat that you can only see on a body composition or an MRI, that literally we've got this apron, right? In our body, under our skin, under there's a layer called fascia. It's white like you would see on a steak. It's an apron of fat over our organs. It's a protective. Well, that gets thicker. And then fat is deposited around our organs.

And that fat, the visceral fat, is metabolically different than the peripheral that you can pinch. And it's that visceral fat that is what causes chronic inflammation that leads to disease. So... Yes, cosmetically, we want to get rid of the peripheral fat, but metabolically, we got to control the deep visceral fat.

Oh, let me think about that.

Oh, let me think about that.

I'll give you three examples and I'll tell you why. I think soccer players have the best cardiovascular machine because on average, a high level soccer player will run six to 10 miles on the pitch over the course of the 90 minutes at different speeds, right? Maybe they're jogging up the pitch and then they're sprinting, right? So they're getting it all in.

And usually they're muscular people, but they look more like runners than people who lift weights, even though I know they do, right? So that's one group.

The other group that I've had the privilege of taking care of that I think get it all in are rugby players. They're running up their pitch. They're sprinting. But they have to be full of muscle. Because if you've seen both male and female rugby players, they are physically lifting each other up as they... If no one's seen rugby, they're not going to know what I'm talking about.

They lift each other up to catch the ball in the air. That takes tremendous strength, not to mention rocking and, I mean, just the engagement they do.
