 All right, next question is from jazz fitness. How do you know if you're getting results because of what you're doing or in spite of what you're doing? You're gonna you're gonna mess with jazz fitness those how to scat. Yeah, that's a If you okay, you gotta be careful not to play mind games with yourself because if you get trapped In the cycle of am I doing enough? It's just perfect. Um, that could really mess with you So number one are you getting good results? Do you feel really good? Are you getting good sleep? Do you feel healthy? You're getting stronger all that stuff if it's a yes, then I would say you're probably okay You're probably doing an okay job. Here's where things get kind of weird if you're doing all that Getting great results. I feel good. I'm strong. I'm getting good sleep Healthy healthy libido skin looks good. Everything looks good. And then I sit there and I ask myself Could I be getting there faster? Am I doing the the right things? Am I perfect? What ends up happening from that is you end up overdoing things This is a game I used to get with myself if I saw some progress Then I would add more if I had a great workout. Wow, that was good. I got stronger next week I'm gonna do even more and you get trapped in this in this cycle of questioning yourself So really just you got to look at all those things and if all those things are doing well, you're probably doing okay Well, I I have a kind of a key indicator for you that you're not most people are gonna like to hear But it's true is if you're getting really fast results, they're probably not good Because the body does not build muscle and burn body fat very fast. It's not a fast process. It's a very slow process So if you know your goal at the end take either into the spectrum if your goal is to lose body fat You know, you have a 30 50 pound goal to lose weight and you know, you're losing five pounds a week You know or more Not good, you know, even if that's your goal. It's still that's not that's too fast Your body is most certainly not just losing body fat at that rate So if you're and then the same thing is true if your goal is to build you want to build muscle You want to add 20 pounds or 10 pounds of muscle to your body and you're gaining two pounds a week You're not gaining two pounds of muscle week. Just that the body doesn't do it that fat Not unless you're on anabolic steroids. So if you're an all-natural person, even then you're not gaining two pounds of lean That's my point is so honestly A really good indicator that you might be, you know, seeing results in spite of what you're doing or doing it Right is if it's really fast. This is a very slow process And if you're seeing major fluctuations on the scale week over week, it's too quick Regardless of what direction you're trying to go and that's that's a very very good point I would see this with weight loss a lot with clients, you know, oh my god. I'm doing everything right I lost, you know 12 pounds this month and I said, whoa, you know, hold on a second, right? Let's do the body fat test to see what's happening. He's like, oh, we lost some muscle Looks like we also lost a lot of water Um, you know, I would look at their program It usually consisted of a lot of cardio and a dramatic, you know, reduction in calories Here's another thing. Um is what you're doing Something you can maintain. Okay. So let's say you are getting good results Or you think you're getting good results and you think you feel good and all this other stuff But then you look at your routine your diet and you're like And you got to be honest with yourself. Could I do this forever? Right? If the answer is no Then you're probably either a come up with a good exit strategy so that you don't get this crazy rebound Or b, you know, change your routine. Maybe you are doing, you know, too much Maybe it's something that's not going to benefit you in the long term But again, you know, I do stress this don't get stuck in the mental game of Am I doing enough? I know I feel good But maybe I could do more because that cycle, uh, boy, can that spin in your head? Yeah, I keep waiting to get like a specific metric for this like I know hrv's been trying to tackle Uh, you know based on how you feel like how to interpret that on, you know The variability of your heart rate In the morning and also like we've talked about just testing out like your your force output in your grip And like how strong your grip was which I thought is smart Like so if there's a way that you can measure, I think strength is just a good measure in general to see Whether or not, uh, you know, your progression or you should back off a little bit And just keep that always in mind everything else aesthetic wise and, uh, you know weight loss or You know muscle gain. It's all going to revolve around like maintaining that strength and pay attention to a lot of signs Not just your your workouts or your weight loss or weight gain like You know, are you sleeping good? How is your energy? Do you have good mood? Is your skin look good? Do you have any signs of poor health? Um, you know, you could be progressing in the gym But be but you could be having bad skin or start to notice you're irritable or You know, you'll see bodybuilders do this when they get really really really lean at some point They start to lose their sex drive. They start to become irritable. Yet. They're becoming more shredded Is that something that would be would you consider that you know going in the right direction? And, uh, definitely when you throw in the is a sustainable question the answer is almost always no So those are the things you want to kind of ask yourself, but then at the end of the day if everything feels good Um, just relax. Relax in it. You're probably okay
