| 0:00.0 | What do heavier people need to think about differently when it comes to training versus people who are lighter? |
| 0:05.1 | Most of my bigger guys, if I have you ride a bike for 10 to 15 miles, it'll do just as well as if you were to run. |
| 0:12.9 | 9 miles. If you're over 200 pounds, you have no business running that much. |
| 0:16.5 | So you can utilize certain exercise techniques that you can still train really hard, still get an |
| 0:23.2 | awesome training effect, not leave any negative residue on you. My perspective on things is I want |

| 1:07.0 | be? John was actually a walk-in client. Let's stay a little closer to the microphone. Okay. A walking. Yeah, John was actually a walk-in client. Just stay a little closer to the microphone. |
| 1:11.2 | Okay. |
| 1:11.5 | A walking? |
| 1:12.5 | Yeah, he was officially a walk-in. |
| 1:15.7 | Wow. |
| 1:16.6 | So when I first started working with him, I was actually working with a client at one of my old locations. |
| 1:24.4 | And when I had some guys dragging sleds outside, he happened to be walking around the neighborhood because we're pretty close to the original Jackson wink. |
