Bill: We discussed exercise a little bit. We do not think that kids should or family is going to spend thousand dollars on a gym, but reasonable things if they want to walk together, take a good brisk 20 minute walk—four to five times a week, is not a bad idea. Or they would do something together as a team if you can get two people want to walk together and say, “I am ready, where are you?” and vice versa is a good idea.
But going to a gym and spending a lot of money I think you are going to lose weight while altering the really more important part of learning how to eat correctly will never get you to where you want to, is that correct?
Female: That is correct.
Bill: There is nothing wrong in going to gym, if you want to do it but you got to take the first spot. The diet selection is key.
Female: First of all eating well, eating right is better for you also with the gym. You have more stamina, you have more energy, you will be less tired, there is less chances of having an accident in the gym—dropping something on your foot because you are so fatigue and you did not eat right all day. Eating well is better for you when you are working out. There is nothing wrong with going to a gym. I tell all my client, you know what the gym is for you—it is for head. It gets you out of the house, away from the job.
Bill: You stress those down.
Female: From the neck down—
Bill: Forget the bill.
Female: You have to learn how to eat right, because even if you go to the gym seven days a week, two hours a day with the best trainer money can buy, you are not going to lose weight if you step out of the gym and eat the same garbage you have been eating. Or do you know how many people do not eat? They do not eat. It is amazing I meet people—they will have an apple in their stomach and they go to the gym for three hours and they come back they are not hungry. They do not eat all day until dinner time. I am amazed! It is an accident waiting to happen.
Going to the gym is fine. Any kind of exercise is fine, but it has to be complemented by a good eating regimen.
Bill: Step one is the diet.
Female: Step one is your overall diet, yes.
Bill: Step two, the family has to keep the house so you can stay in the diet.
Female: That is exactly right.
Bill: Step three, it is okay to exercise not to go crazy, but something you two or probably with a partner everyday eats healthy nothing worn with it.
Female: Right.
Bill: If you do not want to spend the money the money in the gym, there is nothing wrong with walking.
Female: Waling is fabulous. Walking, your kids can go bicycle riding while you walk.
Bill: And if you go to the mall do not take the closest space, take the farthest space.
Female: That is right, that is right.
Bill: Okay because that is good—if you can walk up two flights instead of—
Female: Instead of an escalator or an elevator that is exactly—
Bill: That is change of life style.
Female: And all of these things that we just mentioned they do not even cost anything. It cost nothing to walk.
Bill: The mall is not cheap.
Female: Yes, but that is fine.
Bill: And the gas—save money now.
Female: But Bill the kids love being on a scoter. Let them pedal, let them bicycle ride. There are lots of things that you can do that your kids can do for exercise. And in terms of sitting in front of the computer or playing video games, who controls that? The parents do. They control the amount of time their children are doing those kinds of activities.
Bill: So, lifestyle changes?
Female: Absolutely. You know how about saying to a kid, listen, once your homework is done once you have done some kind of physical activity even just for five to 15 minutes—get on your bike for 15 minutes, walk around the block for 15 minutes let us together then the rest of the evening is yours. You want to go on the computer fine. But you know you have to make a couple of deals.
