 Next question is from Marie in motion as someone who is interested in being a personal trainer What core disciplines should be established in oneself first before they can really train others successfully? Core disciplines that they should have themselves well I think the obvious one is it's probably a good idea to have been pretty consistent with Fitness and good nutrition with yourself now. This may not be absolutely necessary But I think it's very hard to train people to teach them and to Relate to them if you yourself are not kind of doing it yourself. You know, I don't mean you need to look ripped That's not what I'm trying to say But if you're trying to communicate to someone about consistency and exercise and here's the things you need to do with nutrition There's a lot of stuff that you can learn in books But there's sometimes you have to kind of experience it yourself Before you can communicate it really effectively to somebody so I would say I mean that that sounds Obvious, but I would say that's probably the most interesting. This reminds me of a post. I just saw from Max Marzo He he put out there that like Elon Musk Basically had built a rocket without oh, yeah, you know rocket engineer Or have never done it before basically, but I I feel that like, you know If you're competent and you're you're really passionate about fitness and you want to you know learn I Honestly, I don't see I can do it without Practicing on yourself first and being able to get through all of that to then translate and relay that to somebody else I just that would be a really hard thing to overcome You know just to be able to have that kind of dialogue with somebody Well, it's like the exercise piece right like to to cue somebody like it's you don't learn the cues until you've kind of done it Yourself and seen enough bodies like that. I feel the same thing goes for like Nutrition and or being able to build muscle on your body or burn body fat like to your points out You don't need to be five percent body fat You don't need to be the most ripped guy or girl in the gym But you should have been able to take the science that you've learned from either your Certifications or schooling and have applied it to yourself to have shown change whether that is adding five to ten pounds of Muscle to your frame or reducing ten to fifteen pounds of body fat both of those require Discipline consistency and knowledge with the science to apply to your own body And you I think first need to be able to do that to be able to communicate it effectively to somebody else true because you know One of the big, you know factors and being a good trainer is being able to relate To the client and to connect to them And it's hard to relate to someone Unless you've kind of experienced some of what they're About to go through or some of the challenges that they may have with you know Trying to change the nutrition and exercise By the way again, I'll give you an example of what I mean by you don't have to be ripped I had this one trainer that worked for me once who had lost 50 pounds was it was a client actually He was a client not of mine of an of a trainer that worked for me lost 50 pounds Kept working out for about a year and then decided to become a trainer now He was by no means the most fit-looking person in the gym or trainer He looked like in every day like a regular guy that that worked out nothing spectacular Because he could relate to the people because it just gone through the journey himself. He'd lost 50 pounds He would did such a good job communicating to people He did such a good job with his clients and his clients absolutely loved him because he went through it personally absolutely But that's the thing like I I think you can understand Like and you could read books and you can you know go through the education and everything But until you actually apply it yourself like you're not gonna be able to have that kind of connection like you could if you You know apply to yourself. Totally the other one is a little bit of self-awareness I think on the other end of the scale if you're a trainer, you're probably somewhat of a fitness fanatic So there's a little bit of self-awareness that might be necessary to realize that you are a fitness fanatic and the people you're working Are not right true, you know So when you're talking to someone about coming to the gym four days a week and they're telling you That's too much time for them and you're thinking like I just gotta make the time I may and I work out five seven days a week Yeah, like a little bit of self-awareness like okay, this person is not fanatical about fitness like I am so it's gonna be different for them The other thing is that comes to mind for me too is in it I feel like it seems obvious, but I remember having to communicate this to my staff all the time is that When you come across something that you don't know or you don't understand or you've never seen before or you're challenged by like Immediately go home and research that mm-hmm and and it's crazy because today compared to what it was like for me 20 years ago was totally different like to go search seek out the knowledge and information that I may need to Help this client that I'm that I just got that is hitting me with a question. I'm like, oh my god I've never heard that before or I've never dealt with that issue Let me go home and figure it out like I think that's just part of it too It's just if you you're constantly seeking out new information and knowledge I think that's a great discipline You should be if you love and you're passionate about this Then a lot of what you should be reading should be related to the type of people that you're probably gonna be helping totally
