0:00.0	What's up, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Muslim intelligence podcast. I'm your host Ben Bikolsky. Today we're going to interview James Fitzgerald from OPEX Fitness,
0:25.2	one of the top coaching platforms in the entire world for personal trainers and people looking to
0:32.0	assist others in their fitness journey. James is an absolute brilliant man when it comes to understanding all of the
0:40.2	pieces that are going into this integrated model of fitness over the long term. I love his
0:47.8	conversation around when someone walks into his facility, he's not looking at what you need to do
0:54.0	to get you in shape now. He's looking at what you need to do to get you in shape now.
0:56.2	He's looking at what you need to do to get in shape now and sustain it until you're 100 years
1:02.5	old. And I think that's a beautiful way to approach fitness is rather than saying, hey, what do I
1:07.7	need to do to get a six-pack right now? What can I do that's a sustainable model that allows me to thrive, not just today, not just tomorrow, but long term.
1:17.6	Because I think a lot of people put pressure on themselves to, I need to be in shape right now.

1:22.8	But nobody plays a long game.
1:24.4	And that's where people start to thrive is even in business, right? Everyone's worried about what they can get done in one day or one week or one month,
1:30.4	but they're not thinking about what they get done in three years or five years or even 25 years.
1:35.6	And looking at the long game, puts things in perspective and it lets you look at it a little bit different.
1:40.2	So I really love that about James and my conversation today.
1:44.0	So I know you guys are going to love this.
1:45.4	If you're interested in becoming a coach, I strongly suggest you dive into OPEC.
1:50.0	So James has generously allowed me to dive into his program and dissect it, really, and learn from it.
1:55.8	I'm actually learning a lot of new information from how to assess a client to how to progress to programming. He's got a
2:03.2	very extensive view on programming and looking at all the X's and O's. I think it's a great
2:08.0	compliment to the muscle intelligence way of training. So muscle intelligence focuses on what I call
