What's going on, everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcast.

I'm our coach and host Josh here with. His co-host and co-coach, G. And I'm in the house. And today, you know, I had a question recently. It's like, hey, how do I get to like elite level fitness status? How can I get to the point where I'm not just someone who goes to the gym? but like I'm a fit person.

You know,

I'm an example.

I want to,

you know,

kind of know what you do.

Like,

what's the secret. So that's,

you know, kind of know what you do. Like, what's the secret? So that really inspired me to write down, you know, eight tips to really help you go from just being someone who goes to the gym who's fit to elite level fitness status. So I find these eight things are what really separate, you know, the people who are just kind of going, going through the motions, they're in the gym, they're seeing okay results to the people who get incredible results that people are like, oh my gosh, look how Jack that person is, or wow, that person's so fit. So let's jump right into it. So number one, first and foremost, is you need to be on a really good routine. And we've said this so many times. I wanted to take it a different angle and you need to be

on a routine where you move and train on all the planes of fitness so think sagidil coronal or frontal

as i like to call it and transverse so it's a fancy way of saying make sure you you know kind of push

you pull you stand you twist you do all these important movements and you'll notice people that have imbalances or odd-looking physiques are people who really neglect a lot of these things. So perhaps they're not training legs and they're not seeing development there or they're not doing pulling motions or rear delts and you're seeing imbalances. And what this can lead to is pelvic tilt. This can lead to bad posture. This can lead to hunching the shoulders of an overdeveloped chest. So if you want to be an elite person, you need to do those hard movements. You need to do those muscle groups you dislike. You need to be on a balanced routine. You need to be doing compounds. And it's really important you identify all these things because even twisting in particular is the one a lot of

people like to use because not many people twist in the routine you know you're not really necessarily

doing any obliques you're not doing any rotary movements and now this isn't the most essential thing in

the world when you think of strength but you do want to be addressing all these different areas

and making sure you do have that incorporated your routine and that's something we really make a point to do is to make sure we are training all different angles with our clients you know

all different kind of strengths we're building specifically with what that individual needs so that is

number one now as we go into number two and this is a big one I'm really passionate about this that

there are two types of workouts. So there's a workout

where you're peaked, you're mentally aware, you're primed, you're focused, and then there's the other

we're on the phone, you have a here to get it done attitude. And it's funny, I made the notes for
