06:22first episode episode number one of the juice and toil obla podcast so uh let's get into it let's um
06:28we'll split up a little bit you talk about where you're from and how you got here to los angeles
06:35to los angeles how you got here um so i am from i was born in germany and lived there till i was seven
06:43then moved from germany to missouri and then can i add something yeah to let them know for like give
06:49them a little bit of german just like oh it's a little hello we get my name is latoya um ich bin aus
06:55bitburg deutschland sehr gut sehr gut we are both i can speak i'd say like 60 percent german i can
07:04understand it better than i can speak it back to you um and then he's learning also on duolingo
07:09i have 140 day streak on there you go so he's learning as well and then our goal is to also
07:15teach jakai i speak to jakai in german in some way every day just to same yeah get it like into his
07:21head and then now he does as well so i do if you leave a comment in german i read it in german and try
07:28to respond back in german as best as i can um so yeah i'm from germany um and i moved then from
07:37germany to missouri when i was seven and then grew up in missouri for the most part um went to high
07:43school all the way up to high school um in missouri and then went to college in missouri as well so
07:49from seven to 21 i was in missouri and then graduated college and packed up my car and drove to los angeles
07:58and it was one of those things where it was like i i guess kind of backstory in high school i was
08:05always um active in sports and then when i went to college same thing active in sports wanted to be a
08:11physical therapist and then had a knee surgery went through physical therapy and was like i do not want
08:16to do this every day the rest of my life i dreaded going to physical therapy um and was like i don't want
08:22to do this so changed my major sophomore year to nutritional sciences um and then that same time
08:28um i'd say beginning of my junior year i started competing in bikini bodybuilding competitions so
08:34going from nutrition major to also um then competing in bodybuilding it was like i really understood for
08:42the first time how nutrition changes your body but also at that time i mostly ran i was just a runner
08:49that's what i would do you wouldn't catch me in the gym lifting right and so i then once i started
08:55bodybuilding that's when i got serious about strength training and true weightlifting and not
09:00just like here and there weightlifting um and saw how my body changed and then kind of got obsessed with
09:06that of like wow i didn't understand like i knew what eating healthy was but i didn't understand how
09:13carbs fats and protein each play their own respective role in your body right and so
09:18that's kind of how i got into um personal training because that's when i was like oh i want to help
09:23people change their body composition it was more than just i want to help people lose weight i became
09:29like very intrigued and how you can change your body composition and then started helping friends do it
09:35and people i worked with and then that's how i got into personal training um so anyways moved to la
09:40because i also at the same time was doing like some very very small like acting print stuff and so
09:47i came to la my junior year for this convention thing and literally was here for four maybe three
09:55or four days and became obsessed with los angeles in that short amount of time but i think it was also
10:00because i grew up in a small town and then went to college in missouri and so it was all the same
10:05thing and then you get out and see something different you're like oh my goodness i need that
10:09um but also it was because i knew if la didn't work out i could just go back home you know and so it
10:16was almost like why not yeah um so ended up here started personal training at a gym here and that's
10:22kind of where i'll leave that that's a good story yeah that's pretty much my story um i played
10:29from houston texas um lived there my whole life even went to school there went to college there
10:35full ride football scholarship at rice university um played football all four years um had a couple
10:44opportunities to make it to the big leagues didn't happen very hard to do um moved to la just because
10:51it was a lot of different things but mostly i lived in houston my entire life and i've always been
10:58um curious about living somewhere else i mean especially with like i mentioned before football
11:03allows you to travel and see different places so um with that i just was so intrigued on um even just
11:10seeing the country i didn't have to even move but i just wanted to like travel a lot more so when i came
11:14to la the first time i was like oh it's it was sunny every day and i saw a sunset at the beach
11:23and the weather i mean i can go on and on it was just so many things that i just loved being outside and
11:31then i saw just like how active people were it was always somebody running it was always somebody
11:36like working out in a park so i just felt like this was the place for me to just come and um naturally
11:42fit in as far as just fitness or just lifestyle exactly so um moved to la i actually moved to la to
11:49work at a small gym because i was still trying to train uh to try to get an opportunity in the nfl
11:55um but it got to a point where you know if you played football before you know it just beats up
12:00your body and it got to a point where i actually i spent some time on myself i focused on strength
12:05focused on healing i feel like for most of my career i was hurt a lot um i was battling like some
12:11nagging injuries um so it got to a point where i was like man i feel healthy for the first time
12:17in years i felt like i was like 100 healthy so i really made the decision then i was like man do i want
12:23to put my body back into that trauma again or do i want to just really try to find a new career and
12:29just focus on um building myself and being healthy so yeah that's when i started sort of uh transitioning
12:34to wanting to train and at first i had the mentality that i wanted to train athletes so i started to
12:39train a few athletes but then i realized especially when living in la you need you need consistent income
12:47you gotta diversify you gotta diversify you can't really be super niche especially starting off so
12:54um you know athletes are seasonal you only get them so much of the year so i got to the point where i
12:59love just training regular people and my sort of um methodology was to make normal people or average
13:08joes feel like athletes right i wanted people to move better and feel like they can do things that
13:12they've never done before or maybe they were former athletes back in high school and they want to
13:16feel like they can do the things that they formerly were able to do so that was kind of my methodology
13:21as far as what i wanted for people and that's how i started just personal training and sort of building
13:26my clientele there um so as we move forward uh we didn't know each other obviously as we moved here
13:34we both moved here on a whim we're just kind of same week same week um again didn't know each other
13:40um we both worked at a gym i won't say what gym but i worked there first and i realized that all the
13:48work i did in those three weeks were not worth the money that i got paid so i left and the manager that
13:55hired me like left out of nowhere so i felt like i had no support so i ended up leaving and who got
14:01hired after i literally walked in and was like need a job just moved here and they're like yeah we just had
14:07some people quit when can you start and one of those people that quit was him and we didn't find
14:11out this until like six months later until we actually met each other so i mean i don't speak
14:17for you but her um stay there didn't last too long no we had college degrees and it was for sure this
14:24was a very it was a small gym and it was just like you know not just i guess kind of like the the
14:30goals that we had with training you know we were so ambitious about it and um that just was not the
14:35home for us um and then get kind of getting into how we met because this was probably the most asked
14:41question um we both tried to go work at a different gym a larger gym and both ended up getting hired at
14:49this gym so we both interviewed in the same interview process um both got hired and then
14:55kind of ramped up there and then became friends at this gym and that's kind of like not kind of it is
15:00how we met where we met but there's so many instances before that that we could have met
15:06like there's so many we lived two minutes away from each other didn't know until six months into
15:10living there you know and so um like i said working at that small gym it was like when i finally was
15:17like yeah i'm quitting there like it was so small and like didn't he was like wait i literally just quit
15:22there too so there were so many instances that we should have run into each other but how we ended up
15:27meeting was both working at the same gym um becoming friends there and just like you know
15:33if you've lived in la or even moved to a larger city you know just with nothing and just to make
15:41it work with no family you know like having good friends and meeting good people and like-minded
15:46people is hard to do and then when you do that you hold on to those people you know and so we had a
15:51great group of friends there that we all just kind of wanted to make it work you know and so we all
15:57had that same mentality um that's kind of how we became good friends and like best friends at the time
16:04you know just both having that same like grind and mentality and it was one time the same thing yeah
16:09it was a grind just because um at this particular gym is no like you really got to work to get your
16:14clients like you really have to be present and being present involved working like 12 to 15 hour shifts
16:21just being available being there yeah being there so like sometimes clients would come in or people
16:27would come in looking for a trainer and if you weren't there you just kind of missed out so
16:30we spent obviously a lot of time together just being on the floor and then being kind of like the
16:35younger trainers that were there like we kind of really stuck together and helped each other out
16:39um as far as just building up our clientele so that kind of just built up our friendship um to the
16:45point where like we trust each other um you know we wanted to really help each other out and help each other
16:50succeed and just got to a point you know um where we just fell in love you know wow wow
16:57six seven months down the road we just you know we realized like wow we spend a lot of time together
17:04you know we have a lot in common you know here we are let's see what happens yeah here we are
17:10almost 10 years later yeah literally 10 years that's crazy yeah so wow um that's pretty much our
17:16how we met um but moving forward we worked at this gym for about two years uh to to a point where we
17:23kind of realized like we can do more we can do better and we want to do more we want to reach
17:28a wider community we want to train more people because i think at the peak of my
17:33um clientele i think i had like 17 to 18 clients i was training and she was training 20 plus
17:39um but even then um we wanted to try to even do group sessions or things that kind of get us out
17:45there to where we're getting like a whole hour of there's only 24 hours in a day you know so there's
17:49only so many people that you can train in a day um and so it just kind of put a cap on the amount
17:56of people we could reach correct so uh we both ended up um quitting this job and just going out on a
18:02whim and starting our own business and that's where we come to one body la one body los angeles so that is
18:07our baby that is our business that was our um sort of training business that um sort of the idea
18:15behind one body was you only get one body right you only um like if something happens to you you
18:21know some things in your body you just can't replace or um you know some you can improve on
18:27certain things but like we really want to focus on uh just really taking care of yourself and teaching
18:32people um a sustainable way to do so too as well so um one body is just kind of a name she actually
18:37came up with that just really stuck with us um and we started out our private training business we
18:43started to do group sessions and everything was kind of on a roll we started to see just like the
18:48benefit of just kind of going out on a whim and doing it on our own and then guess what
18:52um yeah so 2017 we started one body la um but 2019 pre-covid and just backing up a little we
19:02started our youtube channel and um well with that youtube channel at that time instagram i think was
19:08only like 15 second videos so um when we started one body la again we wanted to reach a wider audience
19:15and obviously social media is a great way to do that but at that time instagram was not it like
19:20that wasn't how you there was no long form then um there were no reels um and so it was hard for us
19:26to do that on instagram and so we were like let's start a youtube channel however when we started this
19:31youtube channel it was it took a lot for us to actually hit start on this because we were so busy
19:38at the time that it was like how can we start this channel and be consistent with it one thing that
19:43he was big on was like if we're gonna start this and put the work into it i want it to be consistent
19:48i don't want to start it and then a year goes by and we don't you know so we started it um and then
19:54it kind of got to where we got busy and it was hard to again we're training we were training from
19:59some days 5 a.m and you might have a client at 7 p.m you know and so from 5 a.m to 8 p.m
20:05throughout the day you're training and so there were times that we didn't see each other until
20:10it's time to go to sleep you know with our different schedules and so the only time we could film was on the
20:16weekends and then if you're working hard throughout the week and then you're filming on the weekends
20:20when do you have free time you know so we didn't have a life yeah and then it was hard to do that
20:25so anyways fast forward to when covid hit at that time maybe it'd been like two months since we'd put
20:33a youtube video out and so when covid hit gyms shut down and we were like okay gyms are gonna be shut
20:39down for two weeks at that time it was two weeks and we were like if we can't train let's at least put
20:43this time to our youtube channel so in that time that was the first time we had free time together
20:50like ever honestly like it was just even when we took time off it was usually to go home or you know
20:56we had maybe a two or three day vacation so at that time we got bigger into our youtube channel because
21:02we had the time at home um and then fast forward to gyms are shut down indefinitely and it was like
21:09oh okay now what you know and so that's when we started our follow-along videos and it started
21:15because we filmed the workouts to send to our clients to be like here's something you can do at
21:20home nobody had equipment at home you went to a gym to work out you know we had nothing at home
21:25body weight yeah yeah we had we had nothing at home and so we really focused on body weight workouts
21:31because one we didn't have equipment to film with um but two that's all really most people had you
21:37were lucky if you had some mismatched dumbbells laying in your garage you know so um yeah that's
21:42how our youtube channel started was we started it to create long-form content to help others and then
21:50when covet hit that's where the follow-along started so we already had our channel pre-covid but
21:56we really got to focus on it during covet because we had a little bit more time
22:00not that we had more time we were like forced to just because we were like how are we going to make
22:05money we went from like i mean all of our business was essentially gone because we had to not weren't
22:12able to go to gym so we had a few people that kind of wanted to do the whole um virtual virtual thing
22:18which i'd say maybe 40 percent of our business was just people coming to train with us virtually but
22:23that's a lot of money that we were missing on so we just use it as an opportunity like we have to
22:29find some form of income right now i will say what was it almost two years before we made a penny
22:34oh we didn't make yeah we weren't making anything so he says that in a sense of like in the future
22:39because i think it was almost two years before we made a single set like a year and a half off of
22:43a youtube video yeah so it was more like creating opportunities for us um so yeah so that's how our
22:52youtube started um and then once we started to grow on that it was the reason we started to grow
22:58honestly was we saw people they started to leave comments of how the workouts were helping them
23:04not just physically but mentally like covid was rough for so many people um and so people found
23:12some mental like clarity in that and they were able to kind of like help them move it helped them
23:18look forward to something to do every day and so that inspired us to keep going and motivated us to
23:24like you said we were training virtually then and so there were days that because you're training
23:28virtually you're not driving from client to client you were able to stack 11 12 1 2 3 4 and we did that
23:36not thinking the mental load that that had on you staring at a computer screen all day and so
23:42when it was time for us to film it was like a breath of fresh air because it was like oh my goodness okay
23:47off the computer screen just moving being active you know so eventually it got to where we grew
23:54um that and found that we wanted to kind of make this bigger and like really found a passion in it and
23:59that's how we kind of transformed into full-time content creators because then it's like we
24:06found more of a passion in creating this and helping more people versus again giving one hour to a
24:13single person it's like in that one hour i can be filming a couple of videos that are going to help
24:19more than just one person sure yeah and it was i mean not to mention even even though it was like
24:26fresh to be able to do these videos after like training so many people that had its struggles too
24:32just because we were new to youtube we were new to just being in front of the camera um and then also
24:38just me being new new to editing like yeah these videos i had learned how to edit maybe a year
24:44or two before just the basic editing so like to be able to like put these videos together was tough
24:49for me just because i was it was a learning curve every day whether it's learning how to set the
24:53camera up to certain settings that we had lighting the lighting was awful man if angles in our tiny
25:00on our channel still but if you go back to some of our oldest videos we filmed in a we had a very dark
25:06apartment like they had one window in the whole the whole apartment um and that was a struggle
25:12just figuring out the lighting and then we couldn't work out side by side so we had to film the workout
25:16separately and i had to piece it together it was a lot and it got to a point where um like when we
25:22first put the video out it didn't do much just because we were just starting to follow along but
25:28like she said when we started to see some comments and i think we got like a thousand views on the
25:32video i was like whoa that's yeah that was like one of our biggest videos it was a thousand view video
25:36and that's when i realized like okay we can we got something going on here maybe we can continue it
25:41and we just sort of put our foot on the pedal and you know we knew um we weren't getting paid for this
25:47but again like she said we we wanted to try to create that opportunity to try to generate some type of
25:52income on top of our um virtual training that we were doing as well so ultimately by the end of that
25:59year uh we grew the channel what to was it the year of 2020 we grew it to 10 000 subscribers which
26:08is crazy for us because we didn't even bear we barely had 2 000 instagram followers you know what
26:13i mean so being able to build that together um 10 000 subscribers and to be able to press the
26:17subscribe button is hard to do yeah i feel like it's harder to get people to subscribe to your channel
26:22on youtube than it is uh for somebody to press follow on like tiktok or instagram so that was a big
26:27deal for us and once we sort of saw the impact that we're making we just kind of put our foot
26:32on the pedal and kept going and just continue to expand the content make it better um we wanted each
26:38workout to feel like we didn't want to feel like we were demonstrating the workout we wanted you to
26:43feel like you were working out with us that's the kind of vibe that we sort of want to give off
26:47when we do the workouts we're not filming an exercise piece by piece so it's we were actually doing it
26:53with you along yeah you know what i mean so we kind of want you to feel like you're in the living room
26:58with us you know jamming to some music and uh getting your workout in so fast forward i mean
27:05to be we hit the 10 000 subscriber mark 50 000 100 that when we hit 100 000 we were like sky's the limit
27:11like it's always so much we can do um and 250 500 seven like it just got to a point where we realized
27:19like wow we're not only you know achieving what we set out to achieve as far as like reaching more
27:26people but it was not i think my mindset was like america yeah but when we started to get like messages
27:32from like mexico philippines honduras like france italy it was crazy just because we were able to not
27:40only reach people in america but all over the world so um it's been a true blessing uh just to kind
27:46of get to where we are now um we're still doing what we were doing and then now um fast forward
27:52now we're doing it full time this is our full-time job we no longer really train clients anymore we
27:58might do some programming here and there we do at some point want to get back into training but this
28:02is i mean with a child and we had to honestly choose one right now and um yeah we know how many of you
28:09just benefit from our workouts on a daily basis so this is something that you know we're blessed to be
28:14able to do full-time um so going into that that's pretty much the breakdown of our entire one thing
28:20to add there so with the youtube like he was saying like we love training right and so we had to choose
28:27one but that's where most people don't know we have an app and with the app that was something we started
28:33in 2021 yeah it was four years ago 2021 and once gyms opened back up we personally do more circuit
28:42training that's how we were doing a lot of follow-alongs at home because that's kind of what
28:46kept us motivated and moving and things like that but personally when we go to the gym workout it's
28:52circuit training um we'll do follow along our own following videos at home but um we wanted we got a lot
28:59of like oh are these the videos that you do every day and it was no we don't do this every day this
29:04isn't how we built the muscle um and so we wanted to share that too and help people that wanted to
29:10kind of progress and have a more fine-tuned look at their programs um and so that's kind of where
29:17we focused on the app so now like what a blessing to be able to have both where if you do want more of
29:23a circuit style training program you can join us on the app if you love the follow-alongs and that's
29:28what's keeping you moving then you have the youtube videos so we have like kind of the best
29:34of both worlds now where we're able to um kind of offer both of the things that we love to do that
29:40programmed training and then just videos to keep you moving you know so yeah that's like you said
29:46that's that's our full time now and it's not just youtube we also have the app which has thousands
29:52of people on it utilizing every day too so it's a lot of people that we um are helping throughout
29:57their journey and it's amazing it's just kind of like yeah what we set out to do with one body la
30:02when we first started and when we first started especially when we started to really grow on youtube
30:07we really wanted to connect with all of our subscribers and people doing our videos so we
30:11would comment back to every every comment every comment like we would spend like hours a day just
30:16commenting back to people because we wanted people to feel seen and heard and really like um you
30:21know we base a lot of our content on what people want to see so um that's what helped us grow so we
30:26knew that that was important but obviously you get to a point where you know you get a million
30:30subscribers you can't you can't respond to every yeah we get hundreds of comments every day um but
30:34that was a cool thing about the app it allowed us to have that messaging have that messaging and
30:39really connect with people who really want to get better and and focus on themselves so uh basically
30:43what toy was just doing was plugging the app so if you haven't already go check out the
30:47juicing toy app i'll link it down in the description or maybe we can pop a qr code or something on the
30:51screen um to just go download it you get a week free to check it out i mean we have a whole
30:56community of people on there who are crushing it every single day doing or use those discounts
31:00that we mentioned in the housekeeping use that discount i might pop that on the screen right
31:03here too um but yeah check it out for yourself again it's not for everybody uh we don't think
31:08you know some people just aren't ready for the app and that's okay we have the free youtube
31:12workouts for a reason um again there's tiers to it to where you know if you still want to get in
31:17some good workouts and you don't have the budget for it right now again we're going to continue
31:21to always drop videos on youtube but if you want to really invest again 15 a month or you can get
31:26the annual subscription where i think it breaks down to six dollars and 50 cents or seven dollars
31:30a month um i mean we try to make it more than worth uh the money that you're spending on yourself
31:35so um go check that out um link in the description and then you also have access to a
31:40lot of the videos that we haven't even dropped on youtube yet so that's another benefit we kind of
31:44use that as a way to people to preview the video sometimes you give us some ideas to add to the
31:49videos and then that video might be a little bit different on youtube uh just because y'all helped
31:53us make it better so that's one of the benefits from the app you just get it sooner and it helps us to
31:58kind of make things better so um with all of that said yeah um if you hear screeching our sun is awake so
32:07um which is kind of perfect segue to kind of wrap this up with our q a because we dropped a q a on our
32:15instagram and on the app so we're gonna try to do some of these q a's at the end of different
32:20podcasts based on the topic of the podcast so if you're not following us on instagram um follow us
32:26at juice and toya um we'd like to just see what you all want to hear and then we also drop these
32:32prompts on our app as well so we asked you all what do you want to know about us what questions do
32:37you have about juice and toya our channel um one of the biggest questions was what does personal day
32:44look like for you all what does the day today yeah so in a perfect world because no day is perfect we
32:50can have plans to do certain things but that doesn't mean it's going to go that way but in a
32:54perfect world i wake up at 4 30 or 5 o'clock uh to get my workout knocked out at 5 30 in the morning
33:02um i just like to get done something about being done with your workout and at home showered ready
33:08to go for the day at 7 7 30 that feels good toy gets the baby up um feeds them at 6 5 45 it depends
33:15on what you know you can hear him right now he's playing we got about four minutes before he loses
33:22his mind yeah but um basically she gets him ready she makes breakfast we all eat breakfast together i
33:27think that's the most the best part about each morning we get to just have family time in the
33:32morning and then i take over the feeding toy goes to the gym um i put him down for a nap
33:39to where it comes back from the gym and that's kind of when the day starts so either we're
33:44maybe filming a workout so usually on days we film we won't work out yeah um but we might film some
33:49stuff for instagram or do some busy work for the app uh honestly it's broken throughout the day we kind
33:54of take turns as far as watching him but we don't have any um help family nannies sitters yeah it's us
34:04blink if you need help no it's it's nice though because it we kind of have a structure where like
34:10he said you know we know he goes to the gym come back pass the beer i'm still full-time breastfeeding
34:15also and so it's hard for me because i don't leave for more than a couple hours um people keep saying
34:22when they start eating solid foods it gets better it didn't it was a lie he ate he breastfeeds more
34:28and eats three salt meals a day he's also doing push-ups yeah he's a solid man he likes to eat
34:35he loves his milk which is fine i'm it's i love that i'm able to work from home because i'm able to
34:41continue breastfeeding um so i don't complain about it because i know there are people that wish they
34:46they could breastfeed more and so um yeah the man likes to eat um and so yeah our day is pretty
34:52much from i get back from the gym around 9 45 10 and from 10 to 4 we are passing the baby back and
35:01forth between what work we have to do i can pretty much write emails and we can play with him keep him
35:07entertained um and he does have he takes two to three naps a day and so if we have to meet it's usually
35:14during a nap time but the day pretty much is we work out in the mornings from 10 to 4 we work
35:20and then from 4 to 7 it is would it um it's uh i don't it's like i don't know what to call it i
35:27don't know what to call 4 to 7 is a very vicious time in our life it's a shift it's because we don't
35:33stop moving it's cooking it is feeding bath maybe another nap i take him on a walk to get that other
35:40nap four to seven is rough and if you've ever asked either one of us to do anything between
35:45four and seven the answer is usually no it is if anyone asks us to do something between four and
35:50seven i get anxiety i start getting hot like four to seven is rough every single day so but yeah that's
35:57the normal day for us um next question yeah i mean but it's been cool to just uh one thing about me and
36:04toy i'll add we've always been great teammates yeah um and we kind of sort of develop roles
36:09where it's not really we just kind of naturally develop certain things like i'm the bather she's
36:14the you know the feeder like we just kind of naturally develop these roles and so it's kind
36:18of seamless it's never just us trying to figure out who's doing what that's what just like we both
36:24if we see it we tag team and we both know like if we get if we get it done individually or whatever
36:30needs to get done and it just makes both of our lives easier so uh next question how has parenting
36:36affected your work and fitness oh it's been great um of course of course there are some things that
36:43we miss one uh we do miss working out together that's something that um we love to do we kind
36:48of motivate each other and even if we weren't we don't like do the same program but like just seeing
36:52her across the gym getting after just motivating enough like who doesn't want to see their significant
36:57other going hard and motivating but um with that it's just it was an adjustment period i say between
37:03january and april was the hardest for us because that's when we started working and filming and we
37:08were trying to find pockets of time to where we can efficiently get things done but once we sort of
37:13figured out uh the system that we just said with our schedule um things got a lot smoother and we just
37:19realized too um it's just been fun to still be able to work but spend time with our son just because he's
37:27he's always on the move he's always watching us if you've seen him do the little push-ups and stuff
37:31it's because he literally watches us yes like we'll be working out in here he's watching us do push-ups
37:35and he it makes him laugh it's entertaining for him so we realize how powerful that is just to see him
37:40on the move and and active um so that's just that's been a cool thing to me just to kind of see how he
37:46uh sort of soaks all of that in yeah and for me it's definitely affected my fitness i don't i was
37:50just talking about this yesterday i used to be able to go to the gym take my time you know like maybe an hour
37:56and a half if i wanted it and that didn't mean that whole hour and a half was working out i would
38:00spend a little more time on mobility i would go to the sauna now because i'm breastfeeding um i'm on a
38:07time and like if he gets back a little later in the morning i don't have like it's it really is just
38:13between 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes that i have to work out and get back home um and majority
38:20of that is because then if you're breastfeeding you know once your breasts get full of milk there's no
38:25working out like it's painful and so um yeah it's like the i have now had to really actually like
38:33focus on my workout and like when people come talk to me at the gym i'm like no i'm on a time
38:39crunch i gotta get this in and get out um and so it's just really made me be way more efficient with
38:44my time in the gym which is a good thing i feel like parenting or not it's always great to be efficient
38:49with your time so it's really taught me that how to like really be efficient with my workouts um
38:55and if you didn't see on my instagram i lifted heavier postpartum 10 months postpartum i lifted
39:00heavier the other day than i ever did in my life pre-pregnancy so it has paid off to be more efficient
39:08and more fine-tuned so in a way it's been a good thing becoming a parent because i now lift heavier and
39:14it's because i'm just way more efficient so focus man you have to focus when you're at the gym so uh
39:20let's get through these questions our goals this is a good question what are your goals uh over the
39:25next 5 10 and 15 years i'll start this one with the five the five year goal i feel like i would like to
39:33have more of a presence on the app um because i feel like the app offers so much and has i i've just
39:42maybe it's because you're able to personally see some of the transformations more than youtube too
39:46but i would like to really create the a larger value on the app if that makes sense so i think
39:53that's a five-year goal we've really really built the youtube and there it's always going to be a goal
39:58to continue building that just because the reach on there is just phenomenal um but i think i'd love
40:05to really present the value of the app for sure and i think just growing us as a brand is just a
40:11big deal i mean just even over the next 10 to 15 years just because we're so many there's so many
40:16things that we want to do um but obviously just with the time like um you know it's just limited
40:22and there's only so many things we can focus on but like she said the app growing our community even
40:26growing our youtube channel but also for our youtube channel we want to make it less one-dimensional so
40:3190 of our content is workouts but we do want to uh add more nutrition add more lifestyle videos
40:37vlogs just to kind of like we mentioned we you don't some of you don't know anything about us
40:42um but i feel like our lives are fun i wish like we always say if we had a camera on us like a reality
40:49show man it would it would go crazy just because like just the funny things that we go through
40:54throughout the day and we try to make every day fun it's already life is already hard enough yeah you know
40:58if you're raising a kid kid you're working hard you're trying to work out take care of your
41:01fitness life is hard enough so we try to make everything seamless and super fun um and you
41:06know really try to enjoy each other's company and never take that for granted so um yeah i think over
41:11the next 10 years it's just growing our own personal brands getting into even film and doing different
41:16things i mean we might even do like some auditions and commercials just living in l.a naturally
41:21um that's just something that we it's never been a goal for us but it's just something that could
41:26naturally happen that we can see ourselves doing so i feel like 15 years somehow the kiddos are
41:31going to be involved so i definitely that's something that we want to instill in jakai just
41:37movement i don't care if he's an athlete i don't care if he wants to do sports but movement is part
41:42of a healthy lifestyle in whatever way he wants to do it he's gonna have his own youtube channel for
41:46yeah that might be a 15 year you want to go grab it because obviously he wants to be on the podcast
41:50yeah real quick real quick go grab him you can answer oh okay
41:57whoa welcome to the podcast everyone this is jakai if you did not know
42:02let me say hello it's our baby boy he's probably going to end up talking uh over the mic or grabbing
42:07the mic so we're going to wrap up these next couple of questions uh next question that we got
42:14what is it like and i kind of mentioned this working together as a team and um we love working
42:21together i mean we've been working together as a team since we both got hired together so um teamwork
42:27is something that has just naturally driven our um friendship our relationship and even now with
42:33oh my god that's the cutest thing ever even now uh with our baby boy it's been um it's been cool to
42:40see how we've really just figured things out because you know when they hand you a baby at the
42:43hospital they don't give you a you know a manual how to do this stuff they just say here go have fun
42:49figure it out you know so it's been fun to kind of just um have us work together do the research to
42:55figure things out and i think we also have different strengths like we have our our roles within the
43:01business and so while we do work together we do separate things within the business and so i think
43:07that's been helpful too um we got a lot of questions about arguing um and i feel like
43:14because our roles are so different it's not we don't really bump heads within the business because
43:20it's like he knows what he's doing within his role i know what i'm doing within my role we bounce ideas
43:25off each other and like when we come up with ideas for the channel or podcast or whatever it is
43:31we might disagree on topics but it within working together it's it's been great because we just both
43:37have our strengths that when you put both of those strengths together it blossoms yeah we ever bump heads
43:43it's constructive it's like yeah i might have a certain belief the way something should go she might
43:48have it differently and a lot of times you know whoever ends up getting their point across that's the one
43:55that honestly ends up being successful anyway so you know we just kind of know that when we do bump
44:00heads it's because we care and we want to we just want the best for whatever situation we're trying
44:05to handle so no we've always been great teammates um you know even with just that like i do most of
44:12the editing for the channel toy it does most of the work for the app and the content for the app so
44:17we just kind of have a system going to where it's super seamless and we know if we're both working hard
44:21together then everything ends up growing so all right last question then i promise this is wrapping
44:27up there we go what do we do to make workouts fun so this was a great question because once you
44:33are filming for other workouts for other people or you're training other people all day long i'm sure
44:38most trainers can relate to this when it comes time to do your own workout your energy is depleted um
44:45and so one thing i like to do to make things fun is for me oh bless you bless you for me i love when
44:53i increase my weight on an exercise and so what's fun to me is seeing myself progress and so i love
45:01i have to have a program that i'm following because i love looking back to see oh i did this amount of
45:06weight last week or the week before look how much i've grown so for me it's fun to build strength
45:12um and go up in weight and then i also really enjoy doing our our follow-up workouts um i try
45:19to do those on days like if i if i can't go on a run or can't get in my cardio i love doing our cardio
45:25workouts um because a lot of the times when we're filming if i'm doing the not advanced version um i like
45:33to try to push myself to follow juice so just like many of you do too so um yeah for me it's increasing
45:40and strength i love that or even the same thing with running i love to run and so if i beat my
45:45time on a mile or something so for me it's kind of like that self-competition that makes it for sure
45:49and that's what i was going to say like we're both very competitive people we don't like to lose
45:54um so when it comes to like following a program or something that we really want to get better at
45:58it's like we want you know just like everybody else i think a lot of people don't think that but
46:03exactly um we want we want that instant gratification just as much as you do and
46:09like we're also realistic with how fast it will happen but we do want we know that every day is
46:14an opportunity to get better so we do want to get stronger and really want to focus on um just getting
46:19better with our workouts um so like it is very competitive base and then also too i think toy like
46:25even the last couple of weeks she has come home proud like she's like can't wait to talk about
46:29oh i just lift it i text it to him yeah she'll text me while she's at the gym just saying like
46:35what she did so i think that's super cool to really um push each other to get to get better um but one
46:40thing say it say dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad don't lick the mic okay all right cool um but yeah
46:49that's just one way to make it fun and like she said we do our own workouts and obviously for us it's
46:54it's competitive because we see ourselves on the screen so i always want to go heavier than what i'm
46:58doing on the screen i want to go faster um so that's just kind of a way that we make it fun
47:03and challenging for each other so yeah um great questions um thank you all for sending those
47:08questions do you have any questions for us can you say dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad
47:19if you hear some scratching it's because you grab the mic but um anyways we appreciate all of
