Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:39Why did you decide from never working out or not working out that much, except for on the slopes, which is a workout, but going to the gym and working on, I guess, different types of working out? Yeah. Why did you decide to take that on? Well, it was kind of my fitness journey is definitely a journey so let's talk about it so i think after the first olympics 2018 i some people were telling me that maybe i should look into a trainer because i had partially torn my acl when i was 15 and i don't know i just wasn't that strong in that leg and so obviously okay let's work out and hit the gym cool met a trainer through nike that's also how i met vinnie was through this trainer and i just like wasn't really consistent like i would do it for a bit and then i wouldn't and then i'd do it yeah i'm like oh i'm still young and like i want to have fun during the summers like i didn't really learn time management well yeah you know like schedules and structure so then covid happened i went to school and then covid happened into going into my spring semester and i put on a lot of weight when i was at college really but like whatever but then COVID hit and we doubled down.

1:50Yeah, it was bad. You doubled down on the weight gain? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Just like eating and... Eating, you know, chilling, not going outside. Yeah, of course. And then I think that's also when I started to work with Roy. It was like during COVID, like the... 2021, 2022. 2021, I think. And then I went back to snowboarding and it hurt. like oh my gosh really yes because i gained 40 pounds come on yeah so i was 40 pounds of muscle though right i wish i really wish but yeah so i was sitting at you know 40 pounds heavier than i was the last time i snowboarded and it hurt just like the recovery i mean being on the slopes from landing or all of it you know and i i think that i was like oh my gosh i'm getting old because this hurts for the first time but when you think about it we're like 20s i know i know i should be fine but it'd be like if i fall on my butt kind of hard i'd be bedridden for a week really because you know we fall from pretty high you're like 30 40 feet in the air i feel like yeah because the wall's 22 feet so then you add how much you go from there and then you fall it's like a lot when i go snowboarding and i jump like three feet i'm like stared to fall if i do 180 i'm like uh i don't want to hurt myself.

3:10You're going so high. So high and doing all these spins and falling a lot. And it just really felt like I was getting beat up. Then I somehow made it to Beijing, but I was still, you know, carrying extra weight on me. And after that season, I was like, I can't do this anymore. This is so painful. It makes me never want to do this again. It's not enjoyable. It's not, it's so hard. And I don't like being in this much pain. I'm used to pain, but this is excessive over something so small. We fall on our butts all the time, and the fact that I couldn't handle it was just really hard for me. And so that's when I just locked in.

3:48After Beijing, I just locked in, and I was like, I'm going to be consistent. I'm going to go every morning. I'm really going to stick to this. I'm going to start jogging. Roy got me onto jogging. I started doing Pilates, and I feel great. Yeah. You look fit. Thank you. Yeah, we met in the gym. I'd stay there a few different times, and I was like, yeah, she's fit. She's shaped strong. Yes, I love it so much. Wow. And I think now I feel good like after a workout. So I enjoy how I feel afterwards. But getting there and starting. Getting there is rough. Yeah, yeah. You know, when he has a start on the bike, that's rough.

4:25Roll your feet on the thing first and then on the bike. How do you feel getting in the gym the last four years supported you physically for this time around at the Olympics then? I think that if I hadn't put that much work in, I don't think I would have been able to come back in the way I did. Really? Yeah. Because, you know, people will still compete in their respective sports with injuries. And sometimes you need like expedited rehab to get you there, you know, for something like the Olympics or like a really important game or whatever. I think the reason why a lot of athletes are able to do that and have such a quick turnaround is because they put in the work before you know our muscles do protect us from a lot of things you know people I have a partially torn ACL and so I got my legs really strong and now everything's supported because my legs are strong I have anything with my shoulder you know my arms are strong so like it can just support it a bit more than if I didn't have all those you know just put all that time into it and I think that overall I just feel healthier like I feel like I'm not in as much pain as I typically would be after a season because even one trip to snow you get pretty banged up yeah you know and so it's nice that when I come home like yes I'm sore but I can bounce back pretty quickly and find you know just peace and painlessness pretty quickly yeah
