Thanks again for joining us here on a very special addition of the InForm Fitness podcast, 20 minutes with Adam Zickerman and friends. Now, why is it so special? Well, today, we have added a very talented guest to Adam's group of friends to discuss high-intensity weight training, weight loss and face melting. And we'll explain that in a minute. But first, if you are joining us for the very first time, let's roll around the room and introduce the team. I'm Tim Edwards from the Inbound Podcasting Network here in Los Angeles. And approximately 2800 miles from our LA studio is Mike Rogers and the founder of InForm Fitness, Adam Zickerman there in Manhattan. Now, back over here on the left coast is Sheila Melody. And Sheila, I'm going to go ahead and let you introduce our very special guest today.I am so excited to have this very special guest on our show today. She is not only gorgeous and super talented but she is just an amazing person and she has a really, really inspirational story to tell us. She's in an incredible band called No Small Children. She's also a music teacher. Please welcome Joanie Pimentel. [applause]Joanie.Hello. Hello. Hello.Thanks for joining us Joanie.Unfortunately, what you're hearing at this very moment are my dogs going crazy. [laughter] I apologize.How many dogs do you have, Joanie before we dive into the content here?I have two small dogs that hopefully my husband can wrangle then before they cause too many problems. I apologize.We're glad to have your dogs on the podcast right there along with us. Yeah. It's --12 Fat Loss & Face Melting Part 1 - Transcript   That was a great introduction. Indeed. Yeah. It's a little like an ice pick in my ear but --Joanie, before we go into the incredible success you've had with the Power of 10, please just give us a little rundown on what you do not only onstage but offstage. I think it's a terrific story.Thank you so much. And first of all Sheila, thank you for that -- your kind words and that awesome introduction and right back at you. So, I, as Sheila mentioned, I am a professional musician. My primary instrument is voice, but I am also instrumentalist and during the day I am a music teacher and in fact, the band that I play in all three of us are teachers at the same school. So, we can get into that more a little later.Well, I find that interesting because all of you are teachers yet the name of your band is No Small Children. Is this because you've had your fill throughout the day and you need to just kind of get away from the kids and get up on stage and rock out a little bit?You know, there's a number of ways to interoperate that. The first being that myself and my two band mates were all female and it first came about as a kind of protest to this expectation that is made of women to somehow that we have to have kids and we have to do this and that a lot of our identity is wrapped up in being a parent and finding a way to celebrate the life of a woman outside of her role as a mother. So, that's the first part of it. Then the other part is in fact, you know, what we do during the day is all about kids but a lot of our music is not for children so -- [laughter]Oh, I can attest to that.Well, okay, so, in a little preparation for today's show I did go through and I'm so thankful to have discovered you and your music and your group thanks to Sheila introducing you to the team here. What fun music first of all. It's very fun and it's terrific but it's also quite funny. There were a couple of songs that I really -- and just the titles alone. One of them was FU in Any Language. Am I correct with that?Yeah. Yeah. That's a song about world peace.     [laughs] Oh, of course it is. [laughs]I got confused on the chorus track, right?That's right. Sheila [crosstalk 04:33] --Did everybody hear that? Sheila say that again for those that didn't quite catch that. I was in the FU chorus, had to sing it. [laughter][FU in Any Language plays]Well, there's our first little sample of some music from our guest, Joanie Pimentel's group, No Small Children. If you listen closely you can hear Sheila singing backing vocals. Joanie, how did you and Sheila become acquainted?My sister Lisa and Sheila are friends for many years. And Lisa's actually in the band with me. She is the lead singer and the guitar player. And she introduced me to Sheila and that's how I became familiar with InForm Fitness. She said, just come to the open house. Just come to the open house. And I said, okay, but Sheila I have to tell you this. I hate working out. I mean I hate it. I hate it with a burning passion. I really do. She said, trust me. Trust me. Just come and do the open house. I said, alright, okay I'll go. So, I did and I listened to the information about the workout and she quite honestly talked me into it. She made some really, really compelling points to me about the way that the workout is done. And I really loved that it looked super safe because as a musician, it is very important to me that my arms are not hurt.Right.That I can stand up on stage. That I can move heavy gear and if I'm hurt, I can't do any of those things. And that was literally the first thing that she said to me is that this is very, very safe. So, I said, alright. And then the other thing and this is how she really hooked me was that it only takes a very short amount of time. I said, alright. I'll give a try. So, I came in and I did my first session and she completely kicked ...
