 Austin Schaefer. He knows a crazy amount of stuff about crazy amounts of things. Swear to God. I don't normally say that, but I will say that in this context of which we are talking about, he knows a lot. I don't know as much. So what are we talking about? What are we talking about? For those of you don't know, I am a reservist in the Marine Corps, and so I have to run this thing called a PFT every year. What does that stand for? Physical fitness test. Wow, there it is. Oh yeah. Physical fitness test. But what it involves involves we have to do some pull-ups, we have to do crunches, although it added a plank alternatively this year, and then a three mile run. So I have a little loop. I've been running around my neighborhood and I would say I'm inconsistent in my training would be a fair assessment. Would you say that? You're consistently in consistent. That's a good one. At least you're consistent. Yeah, I am consistent in that aspect. You're doing it. I am doing it. I am doing it. And so I actually have no idea because I'm not technologically savvy and I kind of refuse to do things like download apps for most parts. So I don't know how long this loop is. Alright, so I was actually going to go old school the other day and drive it and see how and then you put the thing on your car to like see how many miles it is. And Dustin's assistant was here and he's like there's this app that I'll just put on your phone for you and you could just get you run with your phone and it'll track it for you for the next time. Okay, that sounds cool. I'll do that if you put the app on. Alright, so you basically what you're telling everybody is that you you run. Now you have to run, you're gonna do planks or sit-ups and then you're not gonna do pull-ups because you're I have a janky elbow right now. Janky. Spell that. Somebody spell janky. I don't know how to spell it. Spell janky, I wanted to know. So you try hard. You're actually, April's actually a pretty good runner, like naturally a pretty good runner. I like running. It calms my head. Well, and she can just she's one of those people that can she's like it's like it's like what's that guy Matt Damon from Goodwill Honey. She has like the amazing gift of running but yeah she never does it. It's like come on. So you ran it in you normally run that that loop at how far how long? You know the the last couple times I ran it it was like 26, 27, you know those it was not that many minutes 26, 27 minutes. Alright, how many of you all can run for 26, 27 minutes? I'm just curious without stopping you didn't stop. No, I don't stop. I mean that's that's exhausting. Somebody says can we talk about how good your skin looks the both of you. Yeah, it's called the the keto glow is what that's called the keto glow and not sleep at night. We have not slept well in the last few nights. Yes, kids are all getting up at all hours in the night. Lots of stuff going on here. Our daughter taught she could count to nine and ten not anything before nine or ten but all night. She throws an eight in there. So here's the craziest thing is you went for a run a couple days ago and then what happened? I want to explain this because I think it's really cool. Alright, so went for a run and I literally ran so I was I was running and I was dying to the point where I knew how I said I never stopped I almost felt like I wanted to stop and actually there's a turnaround where I can make it a little bit shorter and I almost wanted to do that I said no we're getting close to game time here you've got to keep pushing it all the way as I pushed it all the way and was dying and I I always take screenshot my times at the end and I took screenshot my time and I was like whoa that's like way faster and it literally was almost six minutes off my last runtime from Wednesday so it was Wednesday to was it Sunday? Sunday Wednesday to Sunday took six minutes off my time I have never had that great never that was huge. So here's the deal anybody know why she did but there's something else going on here so earlier Sunday she she goes doesn't I haven't been able to break through the 140 pounds she's on a body transformation maybe number three maybe number three is taking a little bit longer okay the road gets a little higher to climb as you have more kids and get a little older right and she's like I go I have a video that I'll teach you how to drop that extra body pad what happens when you plateau she's I'm not watching the video she goes you can just tell me hey there has to be a benefit right with us being married I shouldn't have to watch the third party validation and so it was kind of funny because in one hand she was not I wouldn't say frustrated but concerned or maybe a little frustrated that she wasn't breaking that plateau and dropping more body fat. I was a little I wasn't like uber frustrated I was more like okay what do I need to shift because I'm like I need to shift something right that's how I was kind of like I'm kind of been reasonably consistent at being low carb I've been you know but like I think I have I've been reasonably consistent at being low carb where I'm drinking my ketone unfortunately this is probably how she should live normally yeah she just I want to she goes I want to drop all my weight quickly so I can eat all the crap again that's what she said well I like bread I'd like to get to a weight where I can eat bread again brownies and topics of cookies why not who doesn't if you don't you're lying we live in a whole different world there and I okay so she runs her time and she comes back she shows me she's like blown away now this was different and now there's a couple variables that might have happened um one she's getting better shape why one of them that she's getting healthier she's getting more fit um April doesn't have a really good perception of time um and so to not know that you ran six minutes faster is kind of like for me kind of mind blowing that you're like oh I felt like it was really hard but yet it was six minutes faster she drank it was hard she drank keto up like what 10 minutes before you ran a little bit longer than that 10 20 minutes 10 or 20 minutes before she ran she drank keto up yeah right before she ran so I I'm almost out of keto up by the way and so I maybe will save a can for you when you do your test no you're totally gonna save a can maybe two I'm just gonna like double fist that stuff we're in 12 minutes faster my son stole some before she got to go run he always steals the stuff but um that's pretty cool I mean very impressive in 20 minutes we don't know how far this is my guess it's like two mile two I think it's two and a quarter maybe just based off of what I understand of your abilities yeah I would say that's probably sounds about right yeah you have no idea I've thought it was around two miles for like a long time all right so we'll see we're gonna you're gonna have to run it again and then you will know the track but and I gotta beat my new time now yes you should so how fast do you want to run your actual three mile because you run three miles in the military for for the Marine Corps every other service that you just run but if I ran 24 23 to 24 I'd be happy so three miles who can run three miles in 24 minutes just curious can anybody run three miles that's what she's she wants to go for 23 she won't be happy unless and here's the thing if she runs 2256 the first thing she's gonna say you know she doesn't know if I would have trained just a little bit earlier I would have ran it under 22 minutes guaranteed out of her mouth every single time every single time it's true she doesn't think I'm listening but I am a little bit earlier I would have gone a little bit better you ever have something crawling you or you think it's I'm crawling you like don't know what it's gonna be and it's just your pants I bet it's a spider because we've had a lot of those recently all right so here's the deal so you drink your keto up so she basically drank a form of our ketones before she ran now she doesn't normally drink this form she has our other flavor that she likes I actually don't normally drink ketones right before I run to be honest when the morning wow she doesn't watch my videos apparently so either way so she drank her ketones before and what it does is that you utilize scientifically you utilize less oxygen when you're exerting your body or not exerting your body so basically for every step let's say that she ran 100 steps and she would breathe let's say 20 times well with ketones she may take the same 100 steps but only breath had 18 breaths like she saved herself efficiency so she's utilizing she utilizes less oxygen for the same amount of work so she has more in the tank to give that actually explains a whole lot because during this run my muscles were fatigued but I never felt like I was out of air and I thought that was weird yeah so you basically feel like your lungs some people say my lungs gave up before my muscles gave up now they're actually all working together but but you there's a sense there and a lot of times this can be the case so that's one reason the other one is the ketones make your ATP which is an energy efficient energy producer in your body that your body uses for energy it uses more you have more of that so by having ketones in your system before you work out you're only going to increase your performance which is pretty remarkable and I truly believe that most world records are going to get broken the next six eight to ten years because of what's going on what we're doing and it's pretty remarkable it's pretty pretty remarkable so if you're working out definitely especially if you're competing definitely won't use ketones before you train it's only going to help you better now here's the downside the only downside is if you're obsessively working out and you're addicted to it and it makes you work out more not me keep in mind you still have to rest your body it's not really a downside but there's a small case of Janet's out there rolled my ankle in March so just finished soaking Janet there she is of course you rolled your ankle you're killing yourself I'm just kidding I like Janet's she's got a motor and it's awesome 50 years old and she's crushing it so that's why you ran more efficiently so if I'm going to summarize this and more like April speak what I'm hearing is that if I drink ketones before I run I don't get winded and I have more energy so I just run faster yes that's awesome yes like really awesome it only makes sense to drink ketones before you run yes how fast I actually hide in with my career so this matters yes it does matter like yes I mean it was she's doing math I mean you how long is the plank you have to do four and a half minutes you have to do that tonight yet I know I still have to do that so four now anybody can anybody do in a four and a half minute plank if you can do it I love you honestly I've only talked to one person who's been able to do the four and a half minutes if you if you uh so that's the Marine Corps if you're wanting to join the air force all you have to do is get off the toilet and you pass sorry sorry sorry just having some fun love all the services how many setups how many setups oh god for my age they may make any more crunches when you're older which is so weird but true um I think I'm at 107 I have to do 107 107 crunches now you have to do like the behind the heads like rip your head up now that we do them a little differently he's a little older they've advanced since then and they realize you don't want to hurt your neck old school right here that's what they call me the champ now we get over here the champ is here the ghetto crunches all right so then how many pull-ups do you have to do or push-ups I have no idea on push-ups because I I'm never gonna do those 50 probably 60 it's like 50 or 60 or something like that in a minute or two minutes I don't know I didn't read the paragraph because we don't know about push-ups but pull-ups I want to say I think to max out for my age range was eight or nine eight or nine pull-ups so dead hangs yes dead hang pretty cool right the Marine Corps bad ass that's why um and they're cooler because they're doing all these awesome like you know alternative ways to do it they used to not be able to do the plank I think when you get when you get really old they let you like row or something instead of front and we keep your knees are all jaky yeah yeah see I didn't have it we had it the hard way you know for us it was uphill both ways I mean it was through the snow it was just in Hawaii so here's the cool thing is there's a lot of lessons in this I you get thanks to you guys for for plugging in with us here um if you all want us to do more lives together let us know we'll do more lives together uh I actually way better with another person by myself um always the same thing so here's the bottom line is first off drink ketones before you work out if you don't have ketones get ketones um it doesn't make sense you wouldn't it makes no sense in the world that you wouldn't have to just doesn't make any sense number two is that if you're on a journey of health and better just keep in mind that you're getting better in a lot of ways and so April was looking at the scale and she plateaued there's a lot of reasons she could have plateaued we were talking about maybe her protein levels were down she's been eating kind of some different foods even though they're low carb potentially their calories were higher than she realized um not a calorie count she doesn't sleep well um mostly with three kids getting up well that's it's almost also well here's the deal it's sleep and April decompresses at at 11 o'clock at night till two and the kids get up so uh so so those are some reasons why her body's plateauing also she's older um why does that matter is metabolically your body shifting right she also has been very inactive over the last four years really since you transitioned to being a reservist you're way less active you're physically more active now than you've been in a long time so she is going to be more prone to gaining some muscle and that may be happening right in this little window because her basically since you started working out more is when you plateaued the most yeah so I was like straight muscle many years ago like almost all muscle and then I went to like almost all fat so that's like a big train it wasn't all it was a lot of muscle I got like I had muscle in my arms for picking up my kids nowhere else and she got pretty ripped when she was in her military training like in 2012 and 13 you're like shredded she was crazy it's actually a little bit like a little too skinny a little too skinny um so you got to have some courage you know um but anyway anyway so so she plateaued and she got kind of stuck at that scale and here she ran six minutes faster I didn't even tell you so today I was 139 what did I tell you and what did I tell you you said I was about to start losing some weight again you said that plateau was over and it was I was about to start doing it now so so April somebody when she sees the scale she doesn't get it doesn't really beat her up maybe a little bit but probably as a whole it doesn't she sees it as competition it's a reminder to get her butt off the in gear and get things taken care of most people don't see the scale that way so Michael Rutherford remind me of that and so if you're a person that sees that scale and you emotionally get stressed or overwhelmed or worried then you got to get rid of it it's not going to serve you or go work on your mindset to not let that scale have that kind of control over you and if you do have a scale don't go on it every day yeah once a week is the max that you want to go on yeah yeah if you get mad at that scale you it literally biochemistry wise will slow down your results and it's not worth it um so it's so there's some okay ladies out there if you've ever been trying to lose some some body fat right how many of you've ever gotten on the scale and been like what the f what is happening right now and then like the next day or later that day you start your period you're like oh that's why I gained three pounds like how many of you've ever experienced that before right yeah that's when I said this scale things bogus yeah we watched it happen then she came in she's like you know I would never want my daughter to go through that little I mean it was like I want a six eight hour emotional kind of like shift right yeah this was I was trying to lose weight after Sophia so no the bloody hormones what's up Chanel I don't remember yeah I was going to lose weight at some point and it's one of those things where you wouldn't want that to happen you know you just realized that something you know as arbitrary as a number on a machine that has no opinion or control of your life can actually have that much impact on you so um we went dark and then that caused something to happen but yeah so anything else you want to tell these amazing people you know I love that you know crazy amounts of shit a lot of stuff because like he knows the science behind it I'm just like oh my god I just lost nearly six minutes off my runtime like that's legit like that's serious stuff right now and I still have a couple more weeks to like train some excited about what's going to happen I love that he can explain like why that's happening in my body I just love that I experience it but uh we'll do some more of these lies we'll keep you updated on the uh the journey the fat loss journey and the the next crazy thing that happens in my exercise journey because I know something's about to happen because I'm going to take all the keto ups I'm going to seal them and drink them every time before I work out well you know what's funny you know it's funny and uh maybe we should do we could get if we could ever get on a schedule and do regular lives because you know apparently we bicker in a funny way uh to each other and so we were just doing a coc call earlier and and Mitch sets it up and here and I are just doing our little thing and so next time we'll have to do a live about how we want to decorate our backyard and you want to see the most crazy conversations it's probably the same conversation you have with your spouses but uh um you know April's obsessed with this crack that's an inch inch it doesn't even it never has to change and she's obsessed with that crack like like so we have to do something with this crack I'm like the whole ground is completely dirt like let's focus on that let's focus on putting something so we know what we're going to do with the dirt let's get that done let's get that over at that crack you're like it's a crack all right that fence needs support all right you'll see it you'll trust me you'll be all hey what's the moral of this live would you say the moral I don't know what I mean moral is the one way to or key to run faster drink it runs run through and if you don't run your drinking you might start running it's the crazy thing in the world um and then I if the scale kicks your butt then kick it back don't literally kick it back because I oh you did do that I didn't tell that story I did not tell that story you guys got to hear this this is funny this is funny I was gone he was gone it was it was baby number two two um and so legitimately Dustin's mom was here staying with us because I literally just just given birth like a couple like a week couple weeks I think it was like in Australia or something I wasn't in Australia he was in Australia and um so anyways so I'm in the bathroom and I had this scale it's like a glass like a clear scale and it had some like metal like you know the strips that you raise your blades on the outside yeah literally that's what that's what they were well anyways it's like I trip or something I don't remember what that's what I did and I slam my foot into the metal part of the scale and like slice like a big a big slice right here I mean pulls a blood like on the floor literally like my mother-in-law grabs like a maxi pad like the big ones and like puts it on my foot to stop all all of the bleeding and how many people have used a maxi pad for a bleeding foot if you have if you can use it for many types of bleeding but injuries they collect a lot of blood it's very it's very efficient way to to deal with an injury um but legitimately like I was like going like oh god am I gonna have to get stitches I've actually never had well no childbirth about stitches better than that I never had stitches and I was like dude this really blows right and then we had to go to the hospital emergency room with a newborn baby and my other child because nobody was there to because I couldn't drive myself to the hospital so she had to drive us with the babies and she had to go stay outside with them and but we get to the hospital and then they actually see us pretty quick because of the naval hospital and it's like literally my skin had healed back together like it wasn't even bleeding anymore it wasn't separated it like literally just went back together and I'm gonna throw a conspiracy theory out there but like I honestly think with my ketones could have been the maxi pad but I think it was the ketones I don't know that I mean the magic of maxi pads I mean and they heal you like you're like the doctor's like I know this was bleeding intensely because of the amount of blood on the pad so he knew I wasn't making up a story but he's like I've never seen any he was like I've never seen anybody heal like that well the truth is that after your c-section they were they like they couldn't believe how fast you held there actually is research being done on ketones and wound healing well I attest to my many wounds and I'm not making that up actually true story there's a healing aspect or an acceleration of healing and it makes sense scientifically or like primitively if you really want to get into the the root of it all but but uh that's pretty cool so I'm superwoman or it's the ketones I think it I think you're special I'm totally I think you're special I mean you know in special isn't always a good thing we're talking about me it's always a good thing all right y'all really we got to go stop stop bugging us we got to go um we got to go we got to go appreciate y'all thanks for plugging in and drink your ketones have a good night love y'all see you next time bye bye instagram bye facebook yeah you have to use my mouse
