But you learn a lot working with people like that.
One thing is getting them to weight train in a way that builds muscle. It's just to alter their physique in a way they didn't think was imaginable. But what they're after is to be leaner and shapelier. And the way you do that fundamentally is by losing fat and building muscle. And cause no offense to orange theory. A lot of that cardio bullshit, it just doesn't do a whole lot of that.

In addition to that, cardio doesn't really do a whole lot of much for weight loss because your body just reduces your energy expenditure concomitantly and you just don't get a lot of it. It's healthy for you. If your diet is very set in stone, more cardio can help you lose a little bit more weight, which is meaningful for competitors and stuff, but it's not this big thing. Probably one of the

biggest variables is diet control. It means knowing what you're putting in your body by tracking slash programming what you put in your body, and then maneuvering from that. Because people will say, oh, I can't lose weight. I'm like, well, how much do you eat on average? Like, well, I don't know. Well, who the fuck? No shit.

Like, how theoretically would we be able to help you if you don't even know what's going in your body? So Getting these people to eat four meals a day of high protein and some fucking veggies, knowing what they're eating, and then going, okay, we have your maintenance. Now we're going to crank it down by 500. We're going to have you weight train. We're going to track your steps.

All of a sudden, fat mounts off, muscle builds. Because you're actually doing the thing for the first time. It's like people are trying to build the Lego spaceship or school bus or whatever they got, but they don't look at the instructions on the fucking back of the box. They're like, it's not a school bus. No shit. Do you ever try looking at the instructions?

You're like, well, I thought I could just figure it out. Well, that clearly didn't fucking work. And here's the thing. If you're some kind of genius savant, maybe you can figure it out.

The big irony here is that as a busy mom who doesn't get enough sleep, who's diet is shit, and she's in her fucking late 40s, and there's no one in her family that had very good genetics to begin with, she is working completely at a deficit on all of these things. And so for her to get in remotely good shape,
