I know this gets everyone fired up. It gets us fired up to start the week here, you motivation all time high going over some quotes going |
| 0:21.5 | over some questions you know really putting someone in the spotlight who's been crushing it |
| 0:25.3 | on their fitness journey so we are so so excited to get this episode started and i have an |
| 0:31.2 | amazing news amazing news i guess better it's a better way to say it you know i went on a walk today |
| 0:36.5 | and just a t-shirt. |
| 0:54.3 | It has been so cold and rainy for like four weeks where we're at. It has been brutal. But I was just out there, closed my eyes, took a deep breath. And I just thought it smells like summer special in the air. And, you know, it just motivated me to bring it back. I know everyone gets fired out for the special because this is where me and kyle gets you in the best shape of your life at an amazing |
| 0:58.1 | rate and amazing opportunity to get started with coaching you know i believe more than ever |
| 1:02.7 | having that extra accountability in the summer is so so necessary there are so many temptations |
| 1:07.9 | but we also all want to look the best obviously as you're wearing less clothing less clothing, going to beaches, barbecues, all that great stuff, more and more. You want to take advantage of that. So the best way to do that is get started right away. So to learn more about the summer special, please just DM us summer special to our Instagram at Kloss's Fit, C-O-L-O-S-U-S-F-I-T. Yeah, and this is probably the most amount of people will ever take just for a coaching special. We do have availability for seven people, which is awesome. So that gives a lot of you great opportunities. I assume we'll probably get about 40 to 50 messages. So, you know, just once again, send us a message. We'll have a |
| 1:44.4 | conversation. We'll see if you're the right fit, if we have the right resources. And we really look forward to helping you out. We care more than anyone out there. And I truly believe it from the bottom of my heart. So we're so pumped to get you in shape for summer, but also keep that shape for the rest of your life. Now let's jump into the quote. So I got a good quote today. So I'm |
| 2:03.2 | going to start with it. And my quote is, start by doing what is necessary. Then what is possible? And suddenly you are doing the impossible. And once again, I love this quote because, you know, someone was Tommy recently like, wow, I love love the outlook you have things. Like, you just see things as like really possible. And, you know, you just, you just do things. You find the solution. You, like, find a way to get them done. And, like, one thing I've always known about myself, about other people, you know, in general is the hardest thing really is getting started. Doing anything is just so tough. Like if I wanted to learn like how to fish |
| 2:37.2 | super well, I have no idea how to fish at all, you know, but I know like the hardest part is just getting started, right? It's like where do I go? How do I turn this thought into an action, right? But by doing what is necessary, it really just gets, you know, it's like baby steps, |
| 2:51.5 | right? And then before you know, you're walking, you're sprinting, you know, like you could perhaps go out, buy a fishing rod, go to a fishing store, they'll tell you what to, and eventually you find your way to it and you start doing it, you know, so sometimes it's just about doing what is necessary. then you start to do what's impossible, then you can do the impossible. |
| 3:06.9 | So just the same with the gym. |
| 3:08.6 | You know, sometimes the first part is getting a membership, you know, buying necessary. Then you start to do what's impossible. Then you can do the impossible. So just the same |
| 3:07.6 | with the gym. You know, sometimes the first part is getting a membership, you know, buying some gym clothes, you know, throwing out some junk food in your house, you know, just getting out there. And before you know it, you might be hitting all time new PRs, competing in competitions, feeling better than you've ever felt, doing things that you never thought you could do. And sometimes that all starts from just doing what is necessary. |
| 3:27.2 | Dude, I love that. feeling better than you've ever felt doing things that you never thought you could do and sometimes |
| 3:24.3 | that all starts from just doing what is necessary dude i love that that fires me up you got some you got |
| 3:30.0 | some good quotes it's too bad that wasn't from uh you know michael scott or anything this week that's |
| 3:34.8 | yeah no that's from uh kyle it's from kyle what the heck sometimes i google kyle quotes for my quotes for the week and they're just from different Kyle's of the world. And I think, you know, the Kyle's got to keep each other fired up. I know recently the Josh's. There was a big Josh fight. I thought that was amazing. Did you hear about that? No. What happened? So basically some, there's, it's a known thing. So even me. It's very hard for me to get like |
| 3:59.6 | tags of my full name, Josh Wilkinson, um, because it's taken. It's a very common name. Like a lot of |
