Knight Cypher Road to fitness

Episode 7 - WTF AI There’s too much AI grifting going on in fitness spaces. Faux babushka’s telling you to skip dinner, other people misrepresenting studies from other countries, what’s even real anymore?

You’ve got gouda abs with Jay Britton Ok but why all these scams though? It's easy to get hooked in by the promise of “burn away belly fat” or “become unrecognizable in just four weeks with my program!” but how do people wind up suckered by the folks who are selling you snake oil while raising the alarm bells about the evils of “seed oils”! Deejay: Be a fitness coach in four weeks Yoga is not for men Other goofy things we don’t believe Cypher:  Spot specific fat reduction H3O2 water wand scam (older reddit link) Other goofy things we don’t believe Hosts Socials: Deejay:  www.beacons.ai/deejayknight https://ko-fi.com/deejayknight Cypher: linktr.ee/cypheroftyr https://ko-fi.com/tanya_hbic Jay Britton: Tales from the Chair: https://www.youtube.com/@talesfromthechair https://store.steampowered.com/app/2059570/Forgotlings/ Note that we are not fitness coaches, dietitians or certified trainers.

Deejay: Fuck shame. Shame keeps you from moving. I think it comes from “polite society” and low key people not wanting to see you doing better than them so you get that embedded in your subconscious. Gotta “shrink” yourself to not buck the trend. Fuck that, you’re worth taking up space. Cypher: See also FUCK SHAME There’s no winning when you try to shame someone for doing the things we rail at over weight folks to DO. Then complain when they go to the gym. It’s a demotivator Hosts Socials: Deejay:  www.beacons.ai/deejayknight https://ko-fi.com/deejayknight Cypher: linktr.ee/cypheroftyr https://ko-fi.com/tanya_hbic https://patreon.com/cypheroftyr Note that we are not fitness coaches, dietitians or certified trainers.

WHY IS EVERYTHING FULL OF PROTEIN??!! Deejay: WHY IS THERE SO LITTLE PROTEIN IN EVERYTHING! Having to find ways to make sure I’m eating enough meats & protein is odd. Need to buy protein powder & start adding it to my oatmeal. I need to invest in Fairlife milk so I can start eating homemade healthy ice cream while paying myself in the process lol. Cypher: This labeling everything with PROTEIN! is getting out of hand though. Calling things high protein or claiming they are x% of your daily protein feels like a marketing ploy versus actual useful amounts of protein you need Protein Pop Tarts, discuss.

Gettin back to the gym. Let’s talk about how we’ve dealt with setting foot back in the iron temple after years away. Deejay:  Texted to Cypher: “You miss the gym. That’s beyond ‘I’m trying to be a beast’ energy. You’re already there, you just haven’t fully admitted it to yourself yet” Need to start properly lifting iron again. Thus far, this leg of the journey has been cardio centric. Cypher: Texted to Deejay: whoooo am I turning into? See also missing the gym is weird for me. Been focused on weight lifting and full body + abs class. Realization that people in the gym are there doing their own thing and are not giving a fuck about what you’re up to Mentions: Transform Fitness Essentials $15 a month to join #NotSponsored Jay Foster - Level 20 Fitness https://www.instagram.com/whoisjayfoster/ Yoga With Adrienne  Hevy App Built Protein bars Thanks to Thomas Gray for working their magic on getting our audio right!  Deejay:  www.beacons.ai/deejayknight https://ko-fi.com/deejayknight Cypher: linktr.ee/cypheroftyr https://ko-fi.com/tanya_hbic Note that we are not fitness coaches, dietitians or certified trainers.

Noting the Differences: Once you put in the work and see it for yourself. It gets fuckin weird, let’s talk about it.Deejay: The wardrobe change is real. Been popping tags in thrift shops & Ross/TJ Maxx for REAL.Small body changes I keep finding.Seeing what “feel” like sunken cheeks is really just my face without the extra weight.The ‘V’ has returned to my waistline, making me feel like a superhero, but also low key telling me how much I’d forgotten myself & let myself go.Cypher:Also the wardrobe change here. Going from a 3XL to a L in most clothes has been weird, and EXPENSIVE.Having a jawline again is WEIRDLosing a third of my body weight and the noticeable difference in how I feel, the size and shape.Feeling (some) muscle after constant gym work is… odd.Mentions:HCS voice packs Deejay is the voice of ApolloSwole InitiativeHosts Socials:Deejay: www.beacons.ai/deejayknighthttps://ko-fi.com/deejayknight Cypher:linktr.ee/cypheroftyrhttps://ko-fi.com/tanya_hbic Special thanks to Thomas Gray for working their audio magic on our tracks for Epsiode 2!

Who we are, why we’re doing this podcast, and what we’re doing on our journeysDeejay: The Catalyst for Change: Single life & being unhappy with the me in the mirror.The Process: Find a time in the day that would work for regular movement & act on it.KEEP DOING THAT SHITCypher: Medical issues required a radical change of diet and habits. Also medications caused medical weight loss as an unintended side effect.Found a class that I liked at my local gym plus weight loss meant I could do more exerciseHave now turned into someone who misses going to the gym when I am not there for a few days.Product and People Mentions:Yoga With Adrienne Coach John NoelHosts Socials:Deejay: www.beacons.ai/deejayknighthttps://ko-fi.com/deejayknightCypher:linktr.ee/cypheroftyrhttps://ko-fi.com/tanya_hbic Note that we are not fitness coaches, dietitians or certified trainers.
