0:00.0	Welcome back to Arnold's pump club. Today we have three incredible topics. I'll be sharing
0:06.0	a study that reveals how many calories you burn during sex. We'll also talk about a popular
0:12.7	dieting technique that might make you feel sad and not just because you're cutting calories.
0:18.4	But my favorite part of today's episode is sharing how to navigate the days you don't feel like
0:26.6	I have some advice you might find surprising and I hope it helps a lot of people. I created
0:34.7	this podcast because I believe that fitness is for everyone. So I'm using the power of machines
0:42.0	to help me deliver news, motivation and advice that will make you healthier. And because I know
0:50.6	you're busy, I won't take up much of your time. I'm not a cybernetic organism. But I do have an
0:57.9	important mission to build the positive corner of the internet and lift up the world. There's
1:03.5	too much negativity online and I hope this podcast gives you the support you need to become
1:08.1	a little bit better. I want to start with a question from the village. I was asked about how

1:25.2	Adam has a great way of explaining why PRs aren't always necessary that I think you'll find helpful.
1:34.3	And then I want to show how I became my best. Even in moments when I didn't feel like I could
1:40.8	push myself to the limit, we talk all the time about the importance of a vision. I love this
1:48.4	because it gives you an end point. But that doesn't mean there won't be hot days and challenges
1:53.9	along the way. There's no need to beat yourself up when you don't feel like training. What matters
2:00.2	most is showing up. Even if you can't show out because if you keep putting in the work and appreciating
2:09.2	the investment you make in your health, it creates habits that will make your vision a reality.
2:16.1	Adam uses an equation and I think it can help you feel better about those days you don't want to
2:23.2	exercise. He says approximately 25% of your workouts are going to be a struggle. These are the days
