physical in 15 years so I made the
appointment got to the doctor’s had the
physical went out with life and about a
week later I got a call from the doctor
said Mike would you do me a favor would
you stop back in the office I’d like to
talk to you walked in the office he
looked at me he says Mike I’m gonna tell
it to you just like I know you tell your
clients in the next three words that
came out of his mouth changed my life
forever
change or die then you’re sitting back
thinking well what’s wrong with Mike he
looks like he takes care of himself he
looks fit and you’re right but we’re not
talking about Mike we’re talking about
him 336 pounds borderline diabetic high
blood pressure high cholesterol a
ticking time bomb and here’s the kicker
I worked out two hours a day five days a
week for 15 years so what’s the problem
I am going to be the first trainer that
stands before you and tells you this it
is not and it will never ever be about a
how many more times that we need to be
told on a daily basis weekly monthly
yearly you should eat better well
there’s a surprise thanks for sharing
that with me you know what you should
exercise more well there’s a shocker so
what’s stopping us what’s stopping us
well for most of us you know what’s
gonna happen we won’t stop and take a
look at that
until what happened to me think about
this walking to an office the doctor
says three words to you change or die
when I walked out of that office the
feeling came over me and maybe some of
you has felt this in your lifetime the
waters here you’re drowning and you
don’t know how to get out so we know
we’re supposed to change so what’s the
process
well I’ve simplified the process for you
you see if you or my client or new
client comes in we’re not meeting at the
training facility I’ve already told you
it’s not about the workout you and I are
gonna meet it at a coffee shop I’m gonna
ask you bring one thing with you
pictures are the most important people
in your life we’re gonna sit down we’re
gonna have a conversation get a chance
to know each other after that I’m gonna
ask you to put the pictures in front of
me
I’m gonna ask you one question and one
question only are those people that I
see in front of me worth change the
people you told me you love that needs
you that you want to be around for are
because if the answer is no you and I
have nothing further to discuss look
nothing on my sleeve
no magic wand and my last name is not
Houdini
there is no exercise program no food
program on planet Earth
that’s gonna save you because you are
not ready to change
so we know we’re supposed to change how
does change occur let me show you what
how I changed the first thing you need
to know about me is I’m a food addict
once a food addict always a food addict
let me give you an example you and I go
to dinner I’m ordering two entrees oh
yeah oh it gets better stay with me I’m
gonna wear an appetizer maybe two of
course I’m ordering dessert and if I
can’t make a decision on dessert I’m
ordering too you’re sitting back go yep
that would qualify him as a food addict
stop we’re not done now I’m gonna ask
for the desserts
to come to me before my entree because
in my mind I have convinced myself what
order doesn’t matter it’s all going the
same place that’s a food addict that’s a
problem then there’s my why it’s my
strength my mother breast cancer
survivor’ diabetic food addict 400
pounds now there’s two of us sitting in
a room two of us the waters here we
don’t know how to get out what do I do
I’m Taipei I’m going to the best I want
to find the best to help me in this so I
researched it Hospital diet center
doctor we’re going we walk in we sit
down we made the appointment shortly
after that people start walking in 300
400 500 pounds two people were wheeled
in on beds because they physically
couldn’t get out of bed to sit in a
chair and there was one thing they all
had in common they all were attached to
it’s me I’m looking at my life in front
of me that’s me so now I’m ready I need
help I’m dialed in I want to hear what
these guys have to say the physicians
start their presentation and within 15
minutes two feelings come running over
my body the one the first is excitement
I can do this someone’s given me a plan
I see the plan can work I’m doing this I
can’t wait for tomorrow the second one
is I’m angry I’m upset because I’m
sitting here in a room full of doctors
with all this information all this
scientific information that could be
helping you your kids and your family
and they’re holding it from us well I’m
here to tell you right here at the Fox
today I’m gonna share it with you I
don’t care if they don’t like me sharing
it with you I’m sharing with you are you
structure structure think about that
when you’re at home you have a family
you have structure you have success you
go to high school you go to college you
study you have structure you’re
successful you go to work tomorrow
you have structure you’ll be successful
so why does it come to our health and
our well-being that we ditch structure
why why so I’m ready to go I’m trying
this I’m trying this right now and you
know what happens I’m gonna tell you
sixteen months I lost the 133 pounds you
could do the same thing my mother was a
better healthier version of herself mom
I love you I need to say that sorry I
love her she’s my strength 133 pounds
now there’s another piece to the puzzle
I am a trainer so now the other piece of
the puzzle is the workout let’s see I’m
going to the Fox the be on stage how do
I get my scientific gym the magical
equipment on stage here at oh thanks
guys backstage they brought it
billion-dollar gyms all these fancy
equipments classes this is it this is
what saved my life watch we’re gonna do
some cardio it’s that simple then we’ll
do some cardio and some core then we may
do some cardio some core and some strain
training it’s a very powerful tool
there’s one problem to find people who
know how to do that this is a physical
test to teach it to you but it’s very
powerful it is the number one tool in
the world is called a Russian kettlebell
so there you have it the secrets keep it
simple trust someone that knows what
they’re doing to make you successful in
the biggest piece of the puzzle that
they were hiding away back in that
office I shared it with you today
structure I forgot to tell you what
structure looked like you surprising
okay structure what is structure so
let’s go back there for a second five
plus one six what’s that mean Mike well
I had breakfast in a protein shake every
three hours
and all the vegetables I got then there
was flexibility I could have a protein
shake every three hours and all the
vegetables I could eat thank you Mike
thanks for ruining my dinner tonight so
you’re telling me that for me to be
successful I got a dream shakes and eat
vegetables all my life
no yeah listening I did I was the one
that’s sat in that room and was told
three words change or die I was the one
and you’re sitting in front of you and
realize this realize this I had two to
two shots at life and I almost lost the
one this one I have now in front of you
all of you I am hanging on for dear life
and everybody in this audience would
have to rip it from me that’s how much
passion I have about living because I
know it’s important so do you so you so
