My name is Bob Schrupp physical therapist. -Brad Heineck physical therapist.
Together we are the most famous physical therapists on the internet
-In our opinion of course Bob.
I kind of got out of my role.--Yeah, we're confused.--Seven easy weight loss tips.
You can do it. You can do it.--I said that wrong didn't I?--Right--7 easy weight loss tips:
You can do it!--Right Bob and again seven. I like the number seven.
It's complete, if you do things with seven like this, you will be a winner--which by the way
I wanted to include another one to make it eight which would screw up your number.
So, but one of them is that both Brad and I just came off a Christmas here. We both binged.
Yeah--So we're both up in our weight. So we need to get it down again,
so we're gonna follow some of this advice ourselves and I'm sure a lot of people are with us, you know in that regard,
but I think it's okay to binge.--Oh right right. You do want a binge probably at least once a week and you
know at least once a year. You want to hit you know, hit it pretty hard. -Yeah Christmas-time,
there's a time that's not too important to me around December, the end of December the first of January,
I'm having fun.
But the problem is you go right from Christmas and then you go into New Year's and so there's not, ya know what I mean.
It all works out--bada bing bada boom--And the whole thing, you know if I've got seven pieces here, they're not
necessarily from the most important to the least important and
everyone will have different needs. Some people are gonna say
oh this one and that one could help me and the other one say I've already got that down pat.
Yeah, put your comments below which thing works for you.
By the way, if you're new to our channel just a second to subscribe to us.
We provide videos on how to stay healthy, fit, pain-free, and we upload every day--and lose weight--and lose weight.
And also yeah, this is part of our self-improvement series.
We've been throwing that in there. You want to join us on some of our social media platforms.
We just joined the Instagram.
I like saying that Instagram, Instagram.--Yeah graham crackers.--We've got some cool stuff going on there.
We got Facebook Bob and Brad. We got Twitter we got what's the last one? Our website.--Yeah. Yeah.
We don't talk about that one too much.--Okay, so Brad take it away
Okay, so the first thing, you want to lose some weight, that's the beginning of the year and really I'm
convinced that the majority of this is from the neck up.--Oh, yeah--but everything's important. But so the first thing is
you've got to be a possibility thinker Bob. You've got to be a possibility thinker, in other words
you really need to think and believe you're gonna make some waves--PMA positive mental attitude, right BM--
So we were trying to think of who is it the motivational speaker that used to say this?--Right,
so we need some help because it was about 25-30 years ago
when I heard this the first time.--If anyone remembers the name, name the name.--Yeah put in the comments.
We appreciate it. But you know, it's one of those things that really hit my mind because I still remember very clearly, often so
wow, huh? Let's go to number two. Associate with
positive people and supportive people.--This is really important.
I find it really it's great that my wife and I are on the same page and apparently your wife and you are on the
same page because if you have someone that's just gonna you know
eat terribly and they're in the household, that food's gonna be in the household and and how are you gonna eat
well then?--Sure, right.--I mean none of us have great motivation to stay away from that bad food.
Willpower--Right. I belong to the Y cuz I love to swim and this morning as a matter of fact
there was three of us at the end of the pool talking a little bit and we're talking about
sugar in our diet and how it to avoid it, and the one guy he said his weakness is
sugar gummies, sugar gummi bears. He says he can eat a whole bag of them. Once he starts
he just goes through them. Those are bad on your teeth too--Right.
I mean so we all have it--Yeah we all have our problems.--He's putting that aside,
I'm putting away the chocolate because that's my weakness and so
associate with people that are gonna help you and be supportive. And have a sense of humor!
It's important in everything in life to be honest with you. I mean, you don't hang around negative people.
I just, I avoid them.--Right so the next one is
educate yourself on a diet. You know, you don't have to be a dietician.
You don't have to read tons of books but however, you want to do it. Go to YouTube. I like reading books.
That's done the most influence with me is reading books because it gives your mind time to assimilate, at least mine who moves slower.
Yeah, it's not a big, you know, I never used to like I'm not gonna read books on-you know, it's not just diet,
it's lifestyle changes as far as eating. You don't have to say diet necessarily. It may be just eating right, and you know I
started off and kind of going off in one direction,
then I kind of went into another direction and I found what works for me and you know
that's only through self education. I mean you've got to take the time to read
a variety of books and then you'll start to see what works for you.--Right which leads us into the next point is
avoid the scam claims.
I got two of them that I saw on the internet. The first one:
12 stretches you can do to burn fat.--Come on.
Stretching is not gonna burn any fat.
It's a good thing to do. It's healthy but has nothing to do with calories and weight loss.
What's the second one Brad?--This one: how to lose weight in
five minutes. Yeah, five minutes.--You're not gonna lose weight in 5 minutes.
Nothing's gonna happen in five minutes.--If it sounds too good to be true
it probably is too good to be true. And you know, it's just something you need to know.
The old joke: how to lose 10 pounds of ugly fat...cut your head off.
Why Bob why? Once again we digress. --Alright number five--Now
this is one that helps me is to stop going out to eat.
It's an expensive way to get fat is what I tell myself and it's you know, I like to go out to eat
but when I do
I like to do it as a treat, a family thing, something you don't do a lot, and then I will binge a little bit but
it is difficult to get healthy food when you go out.
It's not impossible, but it's just a lot more difficult.
You know, I was watching an interview with The Rock, you know--oh sure.
Yeah, that star and that movie star and you know, he's in good shape and he was actually at a restaurant and
he brought his own food and he goes, can you tell the the chef to heat this up and the waiter goes
well, I don't know that they're gonna do that. And he goes they will and they did.
But you know it and we've talked about this before is to preparing food for the whole week so you eat
healthy for the whole week. And that's what he did. He would actually go to restaurants and not eat the restaurant food.
For what that's worth--Right, well thanks for that little that story Bob, but the next one is
when you go grocery shopping
do not go grocery shopping
--when you're hungry-- when on an empty stomach because it really just makes you want to go for the
fun food.--Yeah, everything looks good. Yeah, the other thing, you know they recommend
Brad by the way is to avoid the inner aisles.
That's where all the processed food is and you're supposed to go to the outside
aisles and that has the fruit and vegetables and all the healthy food.
So right try to avoid those inside aisles. I wonder if it's like that all over the world.
We've got a worldwide audience.
In the United States it's pretty darn true. But, you know, give us some feedback there.
I know our friends from Azerbaijan
I'm not sure if it's a male or female but he's been communicating with us since we started seven years ago.
I'd like to know what's going on over in the grocery stores there.
So yeah--Croatia--if this is a thing if you do--Norwegian--Wow
you are right in the groove. So if you are eating,
or what was I saying? I lost my train of thought.
If you don't buy it, and it's not in your house--yeah you're not going to eat it.
The battle occurs in the grocery store.
I mean when you're at home, you know, if you brought it home the battle is already lost because you know,
it's really hard to to have good willpower, strong willpower day after day after day.
Right, when you open the refrigerator
and there it's staring you in the face and ready, especially after work. You get home from working a hard day,
Yeah, you're tired.--Yeah, will power is gone. So if it's there you don't need that,
so those two things. And the last but not least but not least is
exercise.--Yeah, you know activity I would even say. You know, don't even necessary plan that you're gonna do
exercise every day but maybe you know go out, go for a walk, work in the garden do house chores.
Where you are cleaning up and stuff like that. You know your partner or the people you live with are gonna love yo
and you're gonna get, you know
you lose some weight because you're you're staying active.--And I think the other big component of that at least with me is if
I start doing something get my mind off of food and on a different task, I completely forget about my hunger.
Obviously especially if you're doing something you love to do.
I know some of these were probably
simple to some people and maybe some of these were just a repeat, but I think it bears repeating.
It does, little reminders.--Reminder at the beginning of the year that these are things you want to try and set you on the right path.
I've got another this is a bonus one, you know
it's at the end of the time and I wanna throw this in because it stuck in my mind and I was a sophomore in
high school the teacher said, he was a little overweight. Not a lot. He talked about eating
without his shirt on or anything, naked from the waist up
He says when you're at the table and you look down and you see those rolls of fat
He says it really ruins your appetite--even have a mirror in front of ya.--I don't know.
I never had the courage to do it yet, but it makes sense.--Ok you told that story now I'm going to tell a story.
I'm from Minnesota, Brad's from Wisconsin and at one point I had to go down to Iowa,
With a friend and we went out to eat and we go into the restaurant and this girl she was from Iowa, and goes
Oh no, I knew this was gonna happen. A guy's sitting there eating with his shirt off
and she's like-and apparently they allowed it
yeah at this restaurant. Apparently they allowed it.--Well it's in Iowa. Yeah, that's right. I don't want to--
but she's like she was so embarrassed because we went down there and then that's what we run into but
I mean and it wasn't helping this guy either.
He apparently didn't care because he was a big guy.--That reminds me of the thing on Seinfeld in the train.
Remember that?--No what?--They go in the subway
and the guy across the street across the aisle right in the subway,
he takes all his clothes off, not all of them, and he's sitting there reading a newspaper.
People will remember this if you're a Seinfeld person--I didn't see this one,
I'm a Seinfeld person and I don't remember it.
We digress once again--alright thanks for watching.
