We 8 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.240 have your member here, Danielle. 9 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:35.280 Hello. 10 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.399 Have you ever done a podcast? 11 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:41.240 I did one with my friend once, but not besides that, 12 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:42.799 So we'll see how this goes. 13 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.000 All right, So we're going to start off with a 14 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.240 little bit about you. You are my breath Transformation Station. Maybe 15 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.240 why you walk through the door. 16 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.560 Yeah, I think it was just time to walk through 17 00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.159 a door of a gym and like actually keep going. 18 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:06.400 I think I grew up playing soccer and I was 19 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:10.719 always like fairly fit for like doing minimal activities. 20 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.120 I remember always joking, you know, I can. 21 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.879 Just eat whatever and and stay you know, tiny, And 22 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.400 then all of a sudden that just didn't happen anymore. 23 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:26.760 And so I did some personal training before COVID for 24 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.319 like a year, and I kind of got the forms 25 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.319 down pretty well. And then through COVID tipped that scale 26 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:41.920 over two hundred and kind of got like thirty off 27 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:48.640 and then it came all right, right all back. And uh, 28 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.359 my ex actually was a trainer recently and got me 29 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.319 back into the gym. I was in an empty gym 30 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.400 because she worked there, which was really nice in building 31 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:04.719 my confidence. And then coming here it was just everyone 32 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.680 was so welcoming. And I think also being in a 33 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.000 queer owned space was very helpful to me being newly out, 34 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.280 and I think that also was like very welcoming and 35 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.159 everyone is so nice here and I just had a 36 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.039 really fun time and kept coming back. And I know 37 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.400 you watched me. I was out on a trip and 38 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.080 you were sending me all like all of these like 39 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.319 being like, oh wow, look at the mountains things like that, 40 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:31.719 and I was like, I don't actually go to your 41 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:34.840 gym yet, but I'm so excited to start going when 42 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.439 I get back. And so I think we kind of 43 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.879 had that banter before I even started here, and I 44 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:41.680 loved it so far. 45 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:48.240 It's interesting too, sometimes like I have never seen like Alberta. 46 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.319 Calgary hasn't like any of those places. So every time 47 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.319 I see like the mountains and I see like travel, 48 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.680 different travel things. I'm like, see so great, And sometimes 49 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.280 like I forget what account that I'm on, whether it's 50 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.319 like the gym account or like my personal account, because 51 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:04.719 it's just like a double click and then you're in 52 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.560 the other account, and then when you comment or see things, 53 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.120 it doesn't show you what account you're actually like, so 54 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.280 like I at this point, I don't even almost care 55 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.319 because most people know that I owned the gym if 56 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.479 they look at the profile and says like my username. 57 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.960 But my intention of when I bantered with people is 58 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.960 it's never the intention of I want to talk with 59 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.759 you because I want you to come to the gym. 60 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.240 And it's really cool that you actually answered that back, 61 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.520 because I was like, wait, I want to I'm probably 62 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.520 when I come back, I was like, okay, I was like, 63 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.159 did you know I know you said like it's you 64 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.199 were excited to know, like it was a queer on space. 65 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:43.800 Did you know that when you joined? 66 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:44.599 No? I didn't. 67 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:45.199 No. 68 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.159 I think you made a comment because I I think 69 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.400 because I asked where could I fill up my water 70 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.520 bottle somewhere and you made the comment of because I 71 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:56.840 think you had filled Chris's water bottle up part way 72 00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.680 through class and you were like, oh, you can just 73 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.840 hand me your water bottle. That's my spouse. And I 74 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.479 was like nice. I was like, that makes me feel 75 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:06.439 so much better too. 76 00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.400 So I loved that and that's fair. 77 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.520 And I think that was because I drank. Yeah maybe yeah, 78 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.480 I do that sometimes and I realized, like there's someone 79 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:18.519 new in the class and I was like, oh, they 80 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.680 just think that. I just like, yeah, I'll go, Philip, 81 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.720 but there's a tax on it. Here you go. Sometimes 82 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.480 I verbally will say that just because people are like, hey, 83 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.680 like you like here, you feel this er do whatever. 84 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.639 It's like oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So a little 85 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.399 bit about further into that. So what is your goal now, 86 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:43.920 because like you just finished, Yeah. 87 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:49.759 I'm still very sweaty and you're here, right, So how 88 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:51.079 has your outlook on? 89 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.839 Because you said like you're actually joining and you're gonna stick. 90 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.319 So what's the difference. 91 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.319 Oh, I think, like I said before, like I think 92 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.560 it was just time and just being here. I'm already 93 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.519 noticing so much difference. 94 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:20.160 Moving the micro the first time, that's the first time 95 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:26.480 that someone recording loud. Oh yeah, so if you're listening 96 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.639 to turn your volume down back and watching did I 97 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.560 was like, your your volume, things are going higher than one. 98 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.759 I try to make it so it's balanced. But like 99 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.920 anyone that's listened to the podcast prior, Hello listeners, you've 100 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.160 noticed that we've had some technical difficulties with our mics 101 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.519 and our sounds. So this is something that I'm really 102 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.839 working on. Anyway, So how has thing? How have things 103 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.079 changed now that you're you're here? 104 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.800 Is your I was actually just talking to you, I 105 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.120 think last night about maybe well, when I first joined 106 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.040 the gym, I was like, I want to do High Rocks. 107 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.759 We tried that we did not get or you got tickets. 108 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.800 I guess I really wanted to try and get a 109 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.839 team together to do a High Rocks. 110 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.759 But we didn't get tickets. 111 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.560 So I was kind of like, Okay, what is like 112 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.120 something else that I can like? I really like goals 113 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.839 and like working my way towards something. And so I 114 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.560 think the Decca, which is kind of like a little 115 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.439 maybe an easier version of Higher Rocks in October. That's 116 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:36.639 kind of like my stretched out goal. Also, I'm not 117 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.879 going to get a breast production, so that's another thing 118 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:47.120 that I'm like working towards and so yeah, So I 119 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:51.639 think both of those things like have kind of got 120 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.240 me to stay here some sort of like fitness goal 121 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.319 as well as the surgery and making sure I can 122 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.560 lose enough wait, not necessarily because I have to, but 123 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.759 because I want to and to come out of that 124 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.519 surgery and feel like really good. 125 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:10.279 In my body. 126 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.439 And so far just being here, I've noticed like such 127 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:19.959 a difference. I mean, just like energy wise, I've lost 128 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.720 like a good amount so far that I'm happy with 129 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.639 and to continue on with. But I think too noticing 130 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.279 that the number on the scale doesn't necessarily matter, but 131 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.360 my pants do not fit so so like the yeah, 132 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.800 they're they're too big. And I was actually I was 133 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.199 looking at a picture the other day of me at 134 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.560 a concert where I was wearing like like baggy jeans, 135 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:49.639 and I was like, Okay, they're not necessarily like cute 136 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:50.360 baggy anymore. 137 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.560 I thought they were still cute baggy. They're not. I 138 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:53.920 just need a different. 139 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.240 Size of genes, which is like, which is so great, 140 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:02.319 Like I don't like I'm you know, started at the 141 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.279 heaviest that I've ever been, and so I'm just like 142 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.439 really excited to go back down a size or two. 143 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:09.120 I haven't. 144 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:14.560 I haven't really tried yet in pants. Yeah, that's awesome. 145 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:19.120 That's awesome, and then you can like healthfully recover. I'm like, 146 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.519 oh my god, I didn't know. There's so many people 147 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.240 in these four walls that have had breast production or 148 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:27.199 they're going through it as well. There's some people in 149 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.319 these walls that have had breast and plants because they've 150 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.320 gone through cancer. There's so many, like, so many different 151 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.480 things I myself did have. We will call it a 152 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.879 breast lugging. So I have breast and plants, which is 153 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.840 not really secret. I had them done I don't know, twelve, twelve, 154 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.480 thirteen years ago maybe, and I had it done when 155 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.600 I was in my twenties. So I'm like, fast forward 156 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.200 to today. I don't know if I would do it. 157 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.360 In my famous last words, I went to like one 158 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.480 of the top five surgeons in Canada or Ontario or whatever, 159 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:02.919 like a sleepover nurse, like a sleepover anyway. It was 160 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.559 like a private practice that I went to, and my 161 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.679 famous last words were, well, just filled them up so 162 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.720 I can get my money's worth. So I ended up 163 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.519 being man made from like a B cut with like 164 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.519 a fifty band. Is the thing. A lot of people 165 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.639 like when you like shop for like plus sized clothes 166 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:23.080 and stuff, there's so many people that they just assume 167 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.000 that if you're like four hundred pounds that you have 168 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.720 gigantic melons, which is totally not the case for myself. 169 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.600 So I remember like losing weight and likes my dresses 170 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.519 and everything would just like fall open. And I remember 171 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.519 I was in There's a store in Toronto and I 172 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.480 was with my mom and it's like all Italians for 173 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.440 the most part, and I tried on this dress and 174 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.679 I kept going down in sidees from down, insides down 175 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.240 in size. It just hit my watch that wasn't fun. 176 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:49.679 And I went down size and this Italian woman watched 177 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.399 was oh, no, no, you can't wear that dress. You 178 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.440 have no booze. I was like, okay, anyway, my mom 179 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.360 bought the dress, never wore it. And then after I 180 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.639 had my bood job, I was like, remember remember that 181 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:04.879 dress from a long time ago that you got Like, 182 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:06.159 I don't know what you're talking about.

So when I play second at a 189 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.000 twin end competitors with the w BFF at Worlds in 190 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.720 Las Vegas, we had different we had different athletes meetings 191 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.559 that we had to go to leading up to that event, 192 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.000 and actually wore that dress for one of the events events. 193 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.080 So to me, that was like yay, gold check mark contained. 194 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.879 But I ended up being man made to be an 195 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.519 at Cup and now that I'm not a small quotation mark, 196 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.879 I'm much stronger than when I was in my mid twenties. 197 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.840 Now I'm a g so like this sucks and no 198 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.759 matter what I wear, I'm like, I always look like 199 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.679 I'm bigger than what I am and it's so uncomfortable. 200 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:58.080 Like that's something the one warned me about is when 201 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.559 you go from being like small chested to gigantic, like 202 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.000 you're like floating, like trying to do stuff on your 203 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.759 chest and stuff like that. I'm like, all my shorts 204 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.159 are too short, too short, my shirts that look like 205 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:10.519 when the boo, I'm like, oh no, I have to 206 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.000 wear undershirts to cover all my ship. But anyway, long 207 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.519 story short, it's interesting because everyone has their own yea 208 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.639 and some people don't talk out loud, like on the 209 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:21.720 gym floor, we hear, but like I'm trying to get 210 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.639 in more protein, I'm trying to get in less stress. 211 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.120 I come here because it's the mental health. But you 212 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.879 know I'm saying like, oh I got a boot job, 213 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.720 it feels good, or oh I'm working towards getting a 214 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.799 breast direction, like there's not a whole lot of that. 215 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:38.399 Yeahsation, Yeah no, that's definitely like my main reason for 216 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:43.000 being here other than like mental health and helping my anxiety. 217 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:46.519 Which has also been like crazy help for me as well. 218 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.799 So so, so what do you find, Like I always 219 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.639 go into the wheel of emotion because a lot of 220 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:58.279 people think that the wheel of emotions just like anger, sadness, excitedness, 221 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.360 and like humor or whatever. I don't think that's like 222 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.639 those things. But there's so much more different feelings in 223 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:08.639 the wheel of emotion. So like when I wanted to 224 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.480 ask what it's like, what do you want to feel? 225 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.120 And I actually did this with a life coach years ago, 226 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.440 and I said, well, I want to feel the word radiant. 227 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.559 Feel what makes me feel radiant? Like I want to 228 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.000 feel like it's beyond even just saying I just want 229 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:21.960 to feel like we hear that so much, Like I 230 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.480 just want to feel good. What is good to you? Like, 231 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.799 how do you want to feel I want to feel radiant? 232 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.600 Like super Mario when he hits like the do and 233 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.039 he hits a flashing star, then he can go and 234 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.159 take over the entire world, not necessarily world, but you 235 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:35.799 know what I mean. Like he goes into like the 236 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.519 evil plants that are throwing things at him, they just 237 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.440 die when he touches them, like nothing is holy the 238 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.200 super Mario flashing thing back. And I know that's a stretch. 239 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.480 I hope some of you are audio and visual burners 240 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.240 know what I'm talking about right now. And if you 241 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:55.840 didn't play video games, then me neither. But like radiance, radiance, 242 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.639 So I'm like, okay, well, working out makes me feel radiant? 243 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:01.919 Kind of well kind of workouts making it feel radiant? 244 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.360 Is it the strength training? Is it? Cardio? What style? 245 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.039 And I said, well, step step work for workouts And 246 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:10.600 then at the time I wasn't taking zoom and I 247 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.399 never had done maybe once in my life. I did 248 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:16.840 the zoo way, so like dancing specifically, but now I'm 249 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.840 too old to go out dancing. Some people are still 250 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.039 that's fine, no shame, that's just not for me. So 251 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:26.039 I love dancing to feel radiant, and I love like 252 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.120 step class was my answer. And then she's like, okay, 253 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.320 I'm like and music. She said, well what style of music? 254 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.759 And I said, well, I love all music. When I 255 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.960 want to feel radiant, I love like Latin music. Then 256 00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:40.200 that's how we left it. So she was like, Okay, 257 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.000 when you want to feel this way, when you don't 258 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.720 feel that way, these are the things that you can 259 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.120 choose to grab a step. You can grab a step class. 260 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.080 Well there's not a lot of places anymore that are 261 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.759 teaching step, but grab a step class. And I was 262 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.720 teaching stuff at the time. And then she said, or 263 00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:57.320 dance it out. So when I was coming back from Cuba, 264 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:01.000 I was sitting in the airport and I was like, oh, okay, 265 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:04.639 sign up to teach you zoomba. I was so anti Zooma. 266 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.679 I kid you not like as a zoom instructor for 267 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.080 like I think four years now, I'm like, I've never 268 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.840 I came from like the more of the CrossFit, bodybuilding 269 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:17.279 style background, and I love I loved like taking step 270 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.279 and like those things within reason because I like I 271 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.559 wanted to have like my harder exterior, Like you don't. 272 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.120 Those worlds don't make They can, but they can't. Two 273 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:26.759 things can be true at the same time. You can 274 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.200 love zuoma, you can love strength training, you can love 275 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.279 bar bell work, and you can love doing step class. 276 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.919 So I was like, Okay, so these are the things. 277 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.879 So that's a whole long winded bunny trail that brings 278 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:43.519 me back to when you feel good? What is it 279 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.639 that you love to do that makes you feel good? 280 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:47.879 Like so far, you've been doing quite a few different 281 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:52.159 styles of classes here, which one ultimately when you leave here, 282 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.879 makes you feel the most best. 283 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.360 The most goodest, the goodest that I feel when I 284 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:06.919 leave here. Honestly, I love the cardio kick. Yeah, well 285 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.600 so I think the like the strong fit, definitely like 286 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.799 doing the super sets. I do really like that, But 287 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.360 the cardio kick is very It's just different than anything 288 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.200 that I've like tried before. And I remember doing the 289 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.759 first class using the whatever the rental ones that are 290 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.240 here for your versus the boxing gloves. Yeah, and then 291 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.919 being like I need to purchase my own, and I 292 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.600 like post it on the app, being like I need 293 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:42.320 recommendations because I want to keep hitting something. So I 294 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:47.440 feel like, yeah, the cardio kick cardio on the Wednesday mornings, 295 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.120 I love that one for sure. But other than that, 296 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.440 like the strong the Strong Fit doing the super sets. 297 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.039 I was that's the one that I was doing this 298 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.200 morning and my legs were just yellow by the end 299 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.440 from like the different squads that. 300 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.440 We did, squads on squats. 301 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:13.840 Yeah, that's so fun. So then are you here tomorrow? Yeah? 302 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:14.960 I think it's Strong Fit again. 303 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:23.080 Different. The nice thing is that we don't repeat exact Yeah. 304 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:30.600 So the cardio, yeah, how often? How often do we 305 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.399 actually get to hold things? Never? 306 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.559 That's what I mean. That's why it's so fun. 307 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.120 I was like, you know, you do like the the 308 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.960 up and down movement and like the just the different Yeah, 309 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:42.080 I love all the movements. 310 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:43.279 It feels so good. 311 00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.799 It feels like I've just you know, like it's it's 312 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.039 one thing to be like, you know, throwing a weight around, 313 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.000 but another thing to like actually be hitting something and being. 314 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.320 Like this feels so good. 315 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.039 I'm not an angry person, but like, sometimes it's fun 316 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:00.039 to hit since. 317 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.000 You know what's funny, I remember when you first joined. 318 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.319 I was like, oh, you're a little bit more like 319 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.519 the quieter or so. So usually this is just something 320 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.799 because we've taught cardio kick for these four years now, 321 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:16.960 and the friend the trend is that the people that 322 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.160 love it the very very most are always the more 323 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:24.960 quieter people. It's so shocking to me when someone is 324 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.319 like so like kind, like kind and like soft spoken. 325 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:31.319 I'm everything, I'm so kind, but like I am complete 326 00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.759 opposite personality of that. So when I hear someone say 327 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.039 like that's my favorite and they didn't even think they 328 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.599 wanted to try it in the first place, I was like, oh, 329 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.559 we have one member. This was going back when I 330 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.640 first bought the bags and I went up to her, am, 331 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:47.559 I do you think you're gonna do this class? And 332 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.960 she was like no. I'm like, well, she's like I 333 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.319 don't want like I don't kick in punish things. I 334 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.480 was like, okay, she's super like to put together and 335 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.200 she's so pretty and she's so kind, and like I 336 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:03.240 couldn't I couldn't imagine her punching or kicking anything, even myself, 337 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:06.480 to be honest, but like still has bad ass bove so. 338 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.119 But I actually dragged the bag over to her spot, 339 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:14.160 and I was like, okay, just just try it. Like 340 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:16.720 here's some gloves. Their mind, they're new, just try it, 341 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.680 just try it. She's like okay, she did, and she did, 342 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.319 and she like punched it once and she like looked 343 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.680 at the bag and then she punched it twice. I'm like, okay, 344 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:31.079 what else you got? Like all right, all right, and 345 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:32.960 she's I'm like, what do you think. She's like, not bad, 346 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.039 not bad. And then the next time she came in 347 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:39.319 it was cardio kit coss. She comes in with these 348 00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.160 brand new gloves and likes by her own glass. She's like, yes, 349 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.559 like I love that so much. She hasn't unless she's 350 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.599 been out of the country. She has not missed a 351 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:51.279 cardio Okay, yeah, yeah, And it's so phenomenal to see 352 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.440 it because it was like, no, I don't do those 353 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.880 things to like I see her in class now and 354 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.880 she's a freaking weapon. Yeah yeah. And then like chakes 355 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:01.119 off her gloves and cleansing, puts her bag back and 356 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:04.519 then she like she like floats when she watched like floats, like, 357 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:08.960 oh my god. Nobody would know during the day that 358 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.720 you went to a six am plastic ship from your bag. 359 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.359 I think that's one of my favorite things. So it's 360 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:17.799 interesting how that works. And the bags are neat to 361 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.839 So the bags are the Century Fight simulator bags actually, 362 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:25.519 so they're actually in Did you ever watch Copra Kai? 363 00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:30.920 So there's the show Copra Kai. It was remade like 364 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.079 from the Karate Kid and it had some of the 365 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.599 original kid actors that are not adults in the show, 366 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:39.880 but it's all like karate and stuff. And they have 367 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.759 those in almost like every episode at least once or 368 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:47.759 twice because they're like sponsoreds something through Central. So those bags, 369 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:50.279 they don't make them anymore, but some places do have 370 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.200 them that you can order them. There was a place 371 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:54.920 in Barry that had a bunch of them as well. 372 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.920 It's it's like a specific martial arts gym. When they're 373 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.640 used with the proper technique, those bags can last a 374 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.400 long time. But they're meant to be like wavering bags, 375 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:07.799 like they're not meant to ever be heavy bags. And 376 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.680 I'm saying that on the podcast because there's a few 377 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:11.920 people that have said, like, the bags move a lot, 378 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:14.519 so it's time to replace the bags. And I'm like, 379 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.599 you have like two cardio kay classes a week because 380 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.480 of some of the other classes like strong fit, Circuit 381 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.359 power burn, tempo steps as those are also very popular. 382 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:28.799 So those bags are what they cost because they moved, 383 00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:31.799 are not going to be replaced anytime soon. And at 384 00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:35.680 least four of those bags are breds, so when they move, 385 00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:37.839 people are like, oh, the bag just keeps moving and 386 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.960 it goes to the one side. I'm like their fight 387 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.319 simulator bags. It's meant to be like an opponent, so 388 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.119 it's meant to be like you know those those bags 389 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.039 can get them for like twenty dollars, have homart and 390 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:49.880 they're blow up, yeah, like those like tip over clown things. 391 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.599 So essentially that's how those bags were made in mind, 392 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.920 but more sturdy, so they're meant to go side to side. 393 00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:58.880 And that's why I'm like, practice your footwork, walk around 394 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.160 the bag, because some times I see the same people 395 00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:02.759 that just beat the ship out of a bag for 396 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:05.720 forty minutes just in the one spot. They're like, oh, 397 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.160 we need new bags. The bags are falling apart, and 398 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:10.920 I'm like, they're new bags. They're meant to be They're 399 00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:11.839 meant to do that. You got to go to the 400 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.160 other side. So yeah, yeah, and I'm like, if if 401 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:21.079
