 Next question is from Connie Chiwa. What's your take on the catchphrase, sweating for the wedding as seen on social media? What is an alternative strategy or mindset for people who are preparing for a big event? I didn't know this was a thing. I know. Is it a thing? Is people getting creative again, making hashtags? I'll tell you. No days off. Here's some behind the scenes, like, you know, what your trainer doesn't tell you stuff as a trainer. When I was a trainer, if I had a goal assessment, somebody shows up and I'm going to show them some exercises, and my goal, they should try to get the person to hire me, right, because I'm trying to build my business and I want them to hire me. If they said anywhere in my goal assessment, when I said to them, why are you working out? And they said, oh, I'm getting married in five months. Guaranteed client. It was like the most, it was easy because. They're super motivated. Yeah, it's like, it's the big day. They've probably been thinking about it forever since they were kids. They want to look a particular way and I knew that they were going to hire me on the spot. It's an extremely events or dates, things that are important to you, are very powerful short-term motivators, terrible long-term motivators, absolutely terrible. Once the date is up, all the drive and motivation and all the mental aspect of every, the reason why you're working out in the first place and eating a particular way in the first place is gone. Yeah, throw it out the window. It's literally gone in a day and your consistency afterwards completely disappears. And so I knew this. I knew if a client hired me for their wedding, I was already thinking ahead of time. First off, I knew they were gonna hire me. Second off, how am I gonna keep this person consistent after the wedding was the second thing. So I would say this, there's nothing wrong with training for a specific date, but in your mind have a plan for afterwards and understand that your motivation is gonna be low afterwards. It's just gonna be, what is that gonna look like and how are we gonna maintain your consistency? I think what really matters too is if we start sweating, sweating for the wedding, how far out from the wedding really makes a big difference, right? So if I had somebody who came to me and they had a wedding in six months, that's a lot of time for me to spend the first couple of months trying to rebuild their metabolism. I get them eating really well and create some good behaviors and lay a solid foundation of lifting. And then I have plenty of time to really ramp up the intensity and the movement and the sweating and the cardio leading up to that event to kind of get them to peak at their best. But somebody who says I'm sweating for the wedding and the wedding is in 30 or 60 days, that's really tough. It's really one, it's really tough to even see that much change in that short period of time. And I really know that whatever I give them for that four to eight week window is gonna set them up for failure afterwards. And so to me, depending on how much time I have to prepare this person for that wedding really dictates what that programming looks like heading into the wedding. Because yeah, if you come to me and you say I've only got four weeks and I've got a wedding I need to shred as many pounds as possible. Then yeah, calorie restriction and moving like crazy is the best route to shred as much as you can in four weeks. The reality of that is though is you're only gonna rebound that much harder when you get out of it. It's usually that. It's usually a really small window they give you and they just wanna crash. Basically do all of it at once. All the kitchen sink in there with cardio, with diet like stream dieting and then lifting weights. Basically lifting weights with cardio. And they wanna do all of that the entire time to basically burn themselves out completely. And then they just don't realize what they're gonna have to pay for after the event and all that. And then there's the wraps and then the sweet sweat and then all this bullshit that they're gonna add on top of that at the end which I'm sure they're waiting for us to talk about that kind of stuff. The other thing too is I had this conversation this week and I was with my aunt, right? And she's talking about, she's wanting to drop weight. She's in some of the worst shape she's been in a long time and I've written diets for her before and got on stuff. And she's like, you know, I really want you to help me, I need to get at least 15 of these pounds off as fast as possible. And I was going over diet with her and I was explaining like what I want you to do though this first month is I don't wanna lose any weight on the scale. And she's like, no, no, no, no, I wanna lose 15 pounds. I said, you don't understand, pounds is not what you care about on the scale. You wanna change your body as fast as possible, correct? She's like, yes, yes, I wanna change, I wanna lose body fat, I wanna drop down. And I said, so then it's not about the scale weight and the fastest way, believe it or not, to change your body composition isn't you dramatically dropping on the scale. It's a nice exchange. As you are slowly burning body fat, you're also building muscle. And so there's very little movement on the scale. And I think people get so caught up in seeing the scale go down in these short bouts where you have 60, 90 days to get ready for a wedding. And just because you're 60 or 90 days out for a wedding still doesn't mean that you wanna see the scale move that much. It's still the fastest way to change your body composition would be a nice beautiful exchange of losing body fat while also building muscle that will make your body look the most different. But we get in this like hurry of, oh, I got it, I wanna be down 15 pounds or I'm 15 pounds heavier than I've ever been. And we get so caught up in the scale as our gauge of are we doing a good job. And in reality, if you're just really getting after it or starting your program, seeing the scale drop down in those first 30 to 60 days is not a good strategy. And even if you think that moving the scale that fast is helping you look better faster, you're not necessarily true if you're not building muscle at the same rate. Yeah, again, I really stress this, like plan for post wedding. What am I gonna do after and also realize you're gonna be not nearly as motivated and be honest with yourself. So you're working out five days a week leading up to your wedding, set a goal for three days a week after you get married. Okay, when I'm done, I get back from a honeymoon, I'm gonna go to the gym three days a week. If you lost 20 pounds going into your wedding, you're gonna gain back eight pounds or 10 pounds. So plan for that, be okay with it and come up with a long-term plan because otherwise you're gonna have a tough, tough road ahead of you.
