14:00of start in that mindset where you of start in that mindset where you you're playing the comparison game which you're playing the comparison game which you're playing the comparison game which I do not recommend you know playing that I do not recommend you know playing that I do not recommend you know playing that comparison game of I'm Sally but I'm comparison game of I'm Sally but I'm comparison game of I'm Sally but I'm looking at Pamela and Mandy thinking oh looking at Pamela and Mandy thinking oh looking at Pamela and Mandy thinking oh I cannot wait to be there let me do that I cannot wait to be there let me do that I cannot wait to be there let me do that today right but they're comparing their today right but they're comparing their today right but they're comparing their day one to your day day one to your day day one to your day 700 and it just doesn't work you know 700 and it just doesn't work you know 700 and it just doesn't work you know so it's just not something I would so it's just not something I would so it's just not something I would recommend is playing the comparison game recommend is playing the comparison game recommend is playing the comparison game I find a lot of people do that and just I find a lot of people do that and just I find a lot of people do that and just automatically have that hesitation to automatically have that hesitation to automatically have that hesitation to not start so that's why I like going not start so that's why I like going not start so that's why I like going back to you building something that back to you building something that back to you building something that literally starts at what you did day one literally starts at what you did day one literally starts at what you did day one and offering that to people because I and offering that to people because I and offering that to people because I mean I know I had that comparison before mean I know I had that comparison before mean I know I had that comparison before because you know like I said I was doing because you know like I said I was doing because you know like I said I was doing Beachbody and looking at all these Beachbody and looking at all these Beachbody and looking at all these people that you know were already fit people that you know were already fit people that you know were already fit and active as moms and here I am with and active as moms and here I am with and active as moms and here I am with two kids under two and I'm like like I I

29:00so down okay so Ken this is definitely so down okay so Ken this is definitely this was not on my list of questions but this was not on my list of questions but this was not on my list of questions but you brought it up and I know a lot of you brought it up and I know a lot of you brought it up and I know a lot of people are curious about it because I've people are curious about it because I've people are curious about it because I've talked to a lot of people about this talked to a lot of people about this talked to a lot of people about this because I am also really big in the cold because I am also really big in the cold because I am also really big in the cold plunging too um and when I tell people plunging too um and when I tell people plunging too um and when I tell people we talk about it it's like because some we talk about it it's like because some we talk about it it's like because some people are curious right and some people people are curious right and some people people are curious right and some people are like no way in hell would I ever do are like no way in hell would I ever do are like no way in hell would I ever do that right you know and I'm just and that right you know and I'm just and that right you know and I'm just and then I have some other people that are then I have some other people that are then I have some other people that are like well I've tried the cold shower and like well I've tried the cold shower and like well I've tried the cold shower and stuff like that and I'm like it's not stuff like that and I'm like it's not stuff like that and I'm like it's not the same standing underneath running the same standing underneath running the same standing underneath running water that's cold and sitting still in water that's cold and sitting still in water that's cold and sitting still in still water that is cold is completely still water that is cold is completely still water that is cold is completely different and so the best way that I try different and so the best way that I try different and so the best way that I try to explain it to people is it's it's the to explain it to people is it's it's the to explain it to people is it's it's the initial getting in it's just that initial getting in it's just that initial getting in it's just that jumping in and I'm like and I know this jumping in and I'm like and I know this jumping in and I'm like and I know this sounds crazy I'm like but within 10 sounds crazy I'm like but within 10 sounds crazy I'm like but within 10 seconds you don't feel it and I'm not seconds you don't feel it and I'm not seconds you don't feel it and I'm not joking like it's you get in there and joking like it's you get in there and joking like it's you get in there and when you sit still as long as you don't when you sit still as long as you don't when you sit still as long as you don't move right because it's the movement of move right because it's the movement of move right because it's the movement of the water that's what makes it feel so the water that's what makes it feel so the water that's what makes it feel so cold if you get in and don't don't move cold if you get in and don't don't move cold if you get in and don't don't move and let the water become calm and you
30:00and let the water become calm and you and let the water become calm and you just control your breathing like I'll just control your breathing like I'll just control your breathing like I'll turn on the music in my bathroom because turn on the music in my bathroom because turn on the music in my bathroom because I feel like my Tubb and dump ice in I feel like my Tubb and dump ice in I feel like my Tubb and dump ice in there and I'll turn on the radio and there and I'll turn on the radio and there and I'll turn on the radio and within 10 seconds I'm singing along to within 10 seconds I'm singing along to within 10 seconds I'm singing along to the radio like it's nothing my husband the radio like it's nothing my husband the radio like it's nothing my husband walks in he's like you are freaking walks in he's like you are freaking walks in he's like you are freaking crazy what are you doing because I'll crazy what are you doing because I'll crazy what are you doing because I'll set my timer for like six minutes and I set my timer for like six minutes and I set my timer for like six minutes and I try to increase it so like I'm up to try to increase it so like I'm up to try to increase it so like I'm up to like seven or eight minutes right now like seven or eight minutes right now like seven or eight minutes right now and I just sit there and but it's what I and I just sit there and but it's what I and I just sit there and but it's what I found is several things a I cut fat a found is several things a I cut fat a found is several things a I cut fat a lot faster when I do that consistently lot faster when I do that consistently lot faster when I do that consistently my muscles are not sore when I do it my muscles are not sore when I do it my muscles are not sore when I do it consistently my abs show up more than consistently my abs show up more than consistently my abs show up more than they've ever in my life there's so many they've ever in my life there's so many they've ever in my life there's so many benefits to it and not to mention when I benefits to it and not to mention when I benefits to it and not to mention when I do it first thing in the morning it's do it first thing in the morning it's do it first thing in the morning it's like a mindset thing like it's like when like a mindset thing like it's like when like a mindset thing like it's like when I get out I feel like I can conquer the I get out I feel like I can conquer the I get out I feel like I can conquer the world and I know that sounds crazy but world and I know that sounds crazy but world and I know that sounds crazy but it's true it's like you do it's when you it's true it's like you do it's when you it's true it's like you do it's when you do something that's so hard right it's do something that's so hard right it's do something that's so hard right it's just that instant mindset flip of I can
31:00just that instant mindset flip of I can just that instant mindset flip of I can do anything I've never done it so y'all do anything I've never done it so y'all do anything I've never done it so y'all are making me intrigued to try it are making me intrigued to try it are making me intrigued to try it because I scared I've been the one because I scared I've been the one because I scared I've been the one that's like no way I'm not I hate being that's like no way I'm not I hate being that's like no way I'm not I hate being cold like absolutely hate it so cold like absolutely hate it so cold like absolutely hate it so what and I'm always cold like I get like what and I'm always cold like I get like what and I'm always cold like I get like I get that sense of cold like where my I get that sense of cold like where my I get that sense of cold like where my bones are cold on the inside and I'm bones are cold on the inside and I'm bones are cold on the inside and I'm miserable Mandy I am like I you can ask miserable Mandy I am like I you can ask miserable Mandy I am like I you can ask like I do not like I am cold all the like I do not like I am cold all the like I do not like I am cold all the time I live cold I love cold plunging time I live cold I love cold plunging time I live cold I love cold plunging love it yeah so what's the love it yeah so what's the love it yeah so what's the question what is your I'm sorry I know question what is your I'm sorry I know question what is your I'm sorry I know what's your experience with like what what's your experience with like what what's your experience with like what made you want to do it and what have made you want to do it and what have made you want to do it and what have what benefits have you seen from it what benefits have you seen from it what benefits have you seen from it because I know what I see and how I can because I know what I see and how I can because I know what I see and how I can explain it to people but it's different explain it to people but it's different explain it to people but it's different when you know just more people can chime when you know just more people can chime when you know just more people can chime in on that so I would definitely say I in on that so I would definitely say I in on that so I would definitely say I I've loved it what made me start doing I've loved it what made me start doing I've loved it what made me start doing it I was influenced it I was influenced it I was influenced by a a friend and a a couple in Savannah
32:00by a a friend and a a couple in Savannah by a a friend and a a couple in Savannah and she she's a dear friend of mine and and she she's a dear friend of mine and and she she's a dear friend of mine and I just saw them doing it SAA cold plun I just saw them doing it SAA cold plun I just saw them doing it SAA cold plun SAA cold plune like consistently and SAA cold plune like consistently and SAA cold plune like consistently and they're bomb like bomb body and I was they're bomb like bomb body and I was they're bomb like bomb body and I was like okay well this is clearly working like okay well this is clearly working like okay well this is clearly working so how can I be a part of this and so I so how can I be a part of this and so I so how can I be a part of this and so I started doing the shower thing which I started doing the shower thing which I started doing the shower thing which I think that is a good Gateway okay I do think that is a good Gateway okay I do think that is a good Gateway okay I do think it is a good Gateway it does there think it is a good Gateway it does there think it is a good Gateway it does there is a difference just like Pamela said is a difference just like Pamela said is a difference just like Pamela said there is a complet it's freaking there is a complet it's freaking there is a complet it's freaking miserable I I don't like it I tried it miserable I I don't like it I tried it miserable I I don't like it I tried it it is it is a good segue into the plunge it is it is a good segue into the plunge it is it is a good segue into the plunge okay if you're gonna start at least okay if you're gonna start at least okay if you're gonna start at least start there but I I want an ice Barrel start there but I I want an ice Barrel start there but I I want an ice Barrel on Instagram like the ice Barrel brand on Instagram like the ice Barrel brand on Instagram like the ice Barrel brand won it was sent to my house and I was won it was sent to my house and I was won it was sent to my house and I was like heck yes I'm so down but I will say like heck yes I'm so down but I will say like heck yes I'm so down but I will say no one well No One Believes Me like when no one well No One Believes Me like when no one well No One Believes Me like when when you say cut fat when you say cut fat when you say cut fat more rapidly yes it you really really do
33:00more rapidly yes it you really really do more rapidly yes it you really really do just like mental Clarity is better just like mental Clarity is better just like mental Clarity is better fatigue is better mood is better I mean fatigue is better mood is better I mean fatigue is better mood is better I mean internally like you said your your internally like you said your your internally like you said your your muscle soreness has decreased because muscle soreness has decreased because muscle soreness has decreased because there's more blood flow it increases and there's more blood flow it increases and there's more blood flow it increases and regulates blood flow like there's so regulates blood flow like there's so regulates blood flow like there's so many different benefits that I feel many different benefits that I feel many different benefits that I feel like uh the people that complain about like uh the people that complain about like uh the people that complain about it or say I could never I don't know how it or say I could never I don't know how it or say I could never I don't know how you do it you know whatever like the you do it you know whatever like the you do it you know whatever like the mandes I mandes I mandes I know but I'm just like do you want to know but I'm just like do you want to know but I'm just like do you want to optimize your health and wellness or you optimize your health and wellness or you optimize your health and wellness or you you do or you don't right like you got you do or you don't right like you got you do or you don't right like you got to do like a small small time sacrifice to do like a small small time sacrifice to do like a small small time sacrifice for a long-term gain like think about for a long-term gain like think about for a long-term gain like think about the benefits rather than the pain you the benefits rather than the pain you the benefits rather than the pain you know and I don't know I'm just like a know and I don't know I'm just like a know and I don't know I'm just like a more harsh mindset I'm like either do it more harsh mindset I'm like either do it more harsh mindset I'm like either do it or you don't but I'm going to still do or you don't but I'm going to still do or you don't but I'm going to still do it and you're going to be wishing suck it and you're going to be wishing suck it and you're going to be wishing suck [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] you see all this fat okay I I'm
34:00you see all this fat okay I I'm you see all this fat okay I I'm down for that so I'm gonna go find find down for that so I'm gonna go find find down for that so I'm gonna go find find one this weekend I'm I'm committed so one this weekend I'm I'm committed so one this weekend I'm I'm committed so I'm like the super nerdy geek that I I'm like the super nerdy geek that I I'm like the super nerdy geek that I went and like researched it because I went and like researched it because I went and like researched it because I was like why does it make it burn fat was like why does it make it burn fat was like why does it make it burn fat because you know I am like I have to because you know I am like I have to because you know I am like I have to know why about everything like I want to know why about everything like I want to know why about everything like I want to know why so I went research and I'm like know why so I went research and I'm like know why so I went research and I'm like why does it burn fat more and so they why does it burn fat more and so they why does it burn fat more and so they explained that your body has white fat explained that your body has white fat explained that your body has white fat and brown fat which I did not know this and brown fat which I did not know this and brown fat which I did not know this until I read this right your body has until I read this right your body has until I read this right your body has white fat cells and brown fat cells and white fat cells and brown fat cells and white fat cells and brown fat cells and that when you're went from working out that when you're went from working out that when you're went from working out eating right doing all that stuff you're eating right doing all that stuff you're eating right doing all that stuff you're only burning the white fat and your only burning the white fat and your only burning the white fat and your brown fat is what is on the very very brown fat is what is on the very very brown fat is what is on the very very surface like right below the skin layer surface like right below the skin layer surface like right below the skin layer and when you're doing those cold plunges and when you're doing those cold plunges and when you're doing those cold plunges because of something and I don't even because of something and I don't even because of something and I don't even know all I don't remember all the know all I don't remember all the know all I don't remember all the technicals on that but that that burns technicals on that but that that burns technicals on that but that that burns the that burns the brown fat for how how the that burns the brown fat for how how the that burns the brown fat for how how again I researched all this and I don't again I researched all this and I don't again I researched all this and I don't remember all that it those are the remember all that it those are the remember all that it those are the things that I do remember that stood out things that I do remember that stood out things that I do remember that stood out to me was the difference in and I was to me was the difference in and I was to me was the difference in and I was like so but but from working out and like so but but from working out and like so but but from working out and eating right and all that stuff your
35:00eating right and all that stuff your eating right and all that stuff your body can eventually burn Brown fat but body can eventually burn Brown fat but body can eventually burn Brown fat but it's like extremely hard to get to that it's like extremely hard to get to that it's like extremely hard to get to that point or where your body is doing that point or where your body is doing that point or where your body is doing that on its own but the cold plunges do that on its own but the cold plunges do that on its own but the cold plunges do that so I was like well that's cool that so I was like well that's cool that so I was like well that's cool that makes you know some sort of behind it makes you know some sort of behind it makes you know some sort of behind it yeah yeah and it it it makes sense like yeah yeah and it it it makes sense like yeah yeah and it it it makes sense like why not expedite your goals you know I why not expedite your goals you know I why not expedite your goals you know I know it's painful I know it's cold but know it's painful I know it's cold but know it's painful I know it's cold but like it's also really enjoyable when you like it's also really enjoyable when you like it's also really enjoyable when you get out it's like oh yes so refreshing get out it's like oh yes so refreshing get out it's like oh yes so refreshing even if it's 40 even if it's 40 even if it's 40 outside it's it's actually warmer outside it's it's actually warmer outside it's it's actually warmer outside when it's 30 40 degrees and it outside when it's 30 40 degrees and it outside when it's 30 40 degrees and it is in there so it's actually just a is in there so it's actually just a is in there so it's actually just a relief stress relief like we could all relief stress relief like we could all relief stress relief like we could all use that you know okay use that you know okay use that you know okay wait so I listened to this podcast and wait so I listened to this podcast and wait so I listened to this podcast and it was with this and I wish I remember it was with this and I wish I remember it was with this and I wish I remember which one it was because I would say it which one it was because I would say it which one it was because I would say it because it was so freak I listened to because it was so freak I listened to because it was so freak I listened to this podcast episode 12 times and I'm this podcast episode 12 times and I'm this podcast episode 12 times and I'm not even exaggerating that's how like not even exaggerating that's how like not even exaggerating that's how like it much I liked it so this guy talked it much I liked it so this guy talked
36:00it much I liked it so this guy talked about cold plunging and he said it this about cold plunging and he said it this about cold plunging and he said it this way and I was like you just hit the nail way and I was like you just hit the nail way and I was like you just hit the nail on the head when you take a shower right on the head when you take a shower right on the head when you take a shower right and it's hot the water is hot when you and it's hot the water is hot when you and it's hot the water is hot when you get out you're cold and you're freaking get out you're cold and you're freaking get out you're cold and you're freaking miserable but when you cold plunge and miserable but when you cold plunge and miserable but when you cold plunge and you get out of that cold plunge your you get out of that cold plunge your you get out of that cold plunge your body is instantly warm and it feels a body is instantly warm and it feels a body is instantly warm and it feels a heck of a lot better getting out of a heck of a lot better getting out of a heck of a lot better getting out of a cold plunge than it does getting out of cold plunge than it does getting out of cold plunge than it does getting out of a hot shower and that is the truth and I a hot shower and that is the truth and I a hot shower and that is the truth and I was like oh my God I was like that is so was like oh my God I was like that is so was like oh my God I was like that is so true and I never thought of it that way true and I never thought of it that way true and I never thought of it that way but he's like wouldn't you rather get but he's like wouldn't you rather get but he's like wouldn't you rather get out and your body feel warm then get out out and your body feel warm then get out out and your body feel warm then get out and your body feel cold and that makes and your body feel cold and that makes and your body feel cold and that makes so much sense too that makes so much so much sense too that makes so much so much sense too that makes so much sense it does and that just brought up a sense it does and that just brought up a sense it does and that just brought up a point and I was like oh my gosh yes point and I was like oh my gosh yes point and I was like oh my gosh yes where when you do get out and it is where when you do get out and it is where when you do get out and it is colder I'm wondering if that's where the colder I'm wondering if that's where the colder I'm wondering if that's where the body temperature regulation comes into body temperature regulation comes into body temperature regulation comes into play like I'm thinking about this in
