My advice as a gym goer (AF), - older and want to do workout (0600-1100) - 1200-1400 ( those who like to train and working near by) - 1500 - 1800 ( young school people) - 1900 - 2100 ( Those who like to train but came from work) - 2200 - 0500 ( Those who have trained for years and be willing to teach and will keep an eye on you so you will not hurt yourself)

omg alison 🥺 idk if she's reading the comments but i just wanna say i relate to your experience of having slight BDD thoughts after a dentist told me to shave my jaw! i went in for a tooth extraction at a public hospital and this doctor just told me to shave my jaw cos i have a "witch's chin". i was like huh what's that, and he said "chins like yours are called witch's chin, because they protrude out like witches in the past." and he showed me a photo of a WITCH on google! in the consulting room! i was like 17 and very enthusiastic to get the surgery lol because my brain haven't develop enough then to be like "ya this doc is being unprofessional right now," and it took me years to undo whatever that comment did to me mentally. it very much feels like you have to believe what they say, because it's a medical professional who looks like they know what they are doing, telling you this. ty for sharing this in today's episode, and i hope ur in a better place now! 💗(edited to fix my spelling of alison's name)

Since there was a call to share "my fitness journey" I'll share mine. In JC, I was a scrawny kid with really bad acne. Although I had a fun loving bunch of friends from secondary school, the friends I made in JC tended to be people that were somewhat socially awkward (love them lots regardless). Even though I'd say I was becoming more outgoing and loud, I wasn't the type to be invited to the parties or have any success dating After A levels I hit the gym hard and used NS as a time to make changes. My body finally had some meat on it and my general health also improved massively too. On top of that, I started wearing contacts which I felt improved my look and got a better trim too. After ORD, I was intent on making the most of uni life(pre-Covid). Before the camps began, I was a little apprehensive thinking "even if I look better now, what would really change?" So much changed. I found so much positive feedback to being outgoing and loud. Although my social skills may have improved a tadbit on their own during NS, what I suspect really changed my social circumstances was improving my appearance. In camps and in hall, looking better combined with an outgoing personality helped so much in making friendships and connections with people. Opportunities would also avail themselves more often too. Of course, one of the biggest change in my fortunes was in dating too. Knowing that I looked better, I also gained the confidence to get a girl's number at a club for the first time in my life. Unfortunately, while I got infinitely more romantic encounters, my underdeveloped social skills and immaturity destroyed many of those golden opportunities (happily attached today though). I personally feel like being someone who was immensely unattractive that has a glo up comes with a cruel weakness. This someone wouldn't have developed socially to make the most of the opportunities that come with looking better.

hitting me hard that i know this are the OG TSL

Gained a little weight over the 2nd half of 2021 and recently started going to the gym. My best cardio tip is to walk on the treadmill on incline for however long a daily ketchup podcast is! Makes the workout much more bearable.

the chest press and nutsack story really caught me off guard (38:30). i had a good laugh🤣

ahh love the long podcasts soo much

love this episode! so relatable

27:27 relatable. Used to train for 6 packs then halfway through, i questioned myself 'why am i doing this since i was wearing shirt like most of the time, 24/7?' haha

JP is so cute with all his comments. We are all different. so pls don’t go changing our looks.

I just started my weight loss journey three months ago and it has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. I have started to take daily walks as a form of exercise and I am still afraid to go to any gyms XD But losing weight has made me more disciplined and so far I have lost 10kg. I am still far from my goal but it really helps when there are people there to encourage and give u compliments as you go along your journey. Most importantly, I always remind myself that I am doing this for me and myself, not for the society or the people around me. I have never been embarrassed of my plus size and I have and will always love my body. Health is the number one reason why I started and I really enjoy the new me now.

10/10 intro Also please do more jim episodes LMAO damn funny

what I always tell people is to just ignore everyone and just do your own workout, everyone at the gym is too busy being insecure of themselves for some muscle part than to really go and judge you! they're also there to make themselves a better version of themselves so honestly just whack only go in, workout, get out. simple. Good luck to anyone starting their journey

When we diet we need to know to find the fine line, too strict on a diet will make you stop easily. When i go to the gym i jus finish my workout n gtfo. Dont need to look at others.(the more you compare the easier you injure yourself)

The only gym where you can safely do your own thing without a care or feel like being judged are all the rock climbing gyms! Also, the climbing community is super nice!

that intro WIN

Loved the Andrew Schulz mention

Alison!! a nice surprise

I dont think its just about finding the right motivation...cus any goal is valid and may fade or change overtime. But what helps keep you on track is discipline, habit, consistency. Days where you feel like "what for", you just rely on your habit and routine to keep on track. And when the day is done, you'll thank yourself.

Also for Denise, maybe your previous lifestyle was too strict and it just wasn’t sustainable that’s why once you let loose it’s gameover

Ive been told time n time about my weight by many people, it hurts more when guys tell me that my weight was the reason why they dont want to go out with me. Like they said on social media they liked me, they would like me more if i was thinner (at that time i wasnt THAT fat either) like just abit meatier but that made me so angry i just said fuck all and ate whatever i wanted and then really gain weight... The part where JP said where if you try to loose weight for like aesthetic reason u tend to not be as disciplined is sooo true. Until it really affected my health, pcos and like some hormone issue and im like high high risk of diabetes, i took my weight loss journey more seriously. Also yea more pricier gym they kind of take care of you more, i use to be sooo scared to use the machines so i got a trainer (ex but i still think its a good investment kind of) but now im slowly trying to heck cuz i also paid for the membership LOL. But the stress is still there cuz i always think im in the way XD

Where is John :(

Nice comments JP from 16:30...

actually as an avid gymer i find it motivating that people that are out of shape goes to gym... we all started from there, and to add on do u go to public gyms where u feel ostracized for using the equipment? i feel paid membership gym u feel less of it. cause you all pay the same membership fees

It's pretty simple take that anything based off "superficial beauty" is basically just lust and non-lasting feelings. It's often seen that even though people are attracted to physically attractive people, people will still settle for other aspects.

I think you guys should post the article you are talking about here on the youtube channel !

28:55 -- solution is to use gympod, private gym with no rude gym users, and nobody judging you

27:30 motivations

Uncle here share with you something..hope that it's valuable to those who are still searching for their own security. I'm already 35. Unlike when I was 18 and hitting the gym to look buff and cool, and also trying to straighten my teeth at 22, I no longer care these so long as I'm healthy and looks fine. I still jog outdoor once weekly but I am doing that to keep myself healthy and to please myself. I realize at my age that to present myself pleasantly and to communicate effectively with people, are more valuable than mere physical changes. I really don't care about the little tummy that we have as we age. People don't pay attention to whether you have straight teeth because most of the people do not have. Those who have are either lucky to be born that way or they have already straighten their teeth.

Ya I agree with JP What toe.. " I better see one " me : This is the way Ah Beauty and the Geek Make over episode is the best ! Mansplaining is very annoying, even for me to hear it happen or to see it happen irl. Like anywhere not just the gym. But the thin line is when a girl ask a guy how to play a game. Explaining how to play the game and mansplaining will be evident in how the guy do it.

Do one about Andrew Tate !!!

I stay at chai chee btw & is located at Bedok North Ave 1

Haven’t hot girls been in gym ads since like…forever?

JP ending. Funny sia

Tip for solo 1st time gym-goers or people who are unsure about a machine. Don't use it yet. Remember the name and go home to google/youtube how professionals use it. Reason i say don't use it is not to deter you, but to prevent you from getting a possible joint or muscle injury. The follow up reason of googling/youtubing how they use it is to understand which muscle group you are targeting and where you should feel the tension of muscle contraction when you do use it. A gym junkie lifting super heavy weights may seem like an alpha, and for him/she that's their goal. Find your goal and undertsand why it is your goal, then you will not be bother too much by the others around you. I agree with Jon's philosophy of function over aesthetics or the number on the weights you lift. Because over time, age will diminish your functional capabilities, and by training functionally, it can have preventive effects against the age-ing and you reap long lasting functionality.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH FEK THAT NUTSACK STORY I LAUGHED SO HARD

This the daily ketchup or the smart local? Haha

denise in a new relationship? cute lah!!! 💕💕💕 hope to hear more about it :]

I paid for a year's membership at a gym and not once have I stepped into it due to fear and intimidation🥺

The dentist just wants to earn a referrer fee

22:45🤣

26:15

JP 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I related to him sia !!!! Find the core reason

What in the world is the intro

Ya. Equality means men SHOULD be sexualised too. Show us hot men advertising gyms lah, why always women only?

Is that an PP on JP?

39:00 Got nice cheese smell shiok onot??

algooooooooooooo

the only people who are complaining are - old aunties, impotent uncles and insecure girls. Done.

Quick definition brah: Small guys/ Beginners , no one will pay attention to you unless youre is aesthetic or strong , that may attract attention. Giving so much excuses to not exercise , Beta mindset 😹

Algooooo

The complainers all soft AF, this is considered Mild already.

Koreans don't all look the same I think you just see too much KPOP only. All Asian countries have many different looks. They don't look the same. Angmoh look the same

Koreans don't all the look the same and they have natural long sharp tall high noses and cute mono eye lids. Just like Mongolian, similar to North Chinese and there are many other Asian with these type of natural North East Asian features and they are very tall. Mongolian are also known to be handsome and they are too tall. The natural korean face is closer to Mongolian and northern Chinese people
