I spoke to a room of 100 entrepreneurs on how to get fit (without sacrificing your work).
Here are 14 secrets ripped business owners know that fat business owners don't:
1. 80% of IronMan finishers are liquid millionaires. Health and wealth are not mutually exclusive - they complement one another.
2. Weight training is like investing for passive income (more muscle burns calories passively).
3. Cardio is like day trading for quick profits (burns calories).
4. When you're out at dinner with clients, order Filet Mignon instead of Ribeye. Filet Mignon has more protein and almost ½ the calories.
5. Always order double protein. You can afford the extra meat. You can’t afford to stay soft and weak.
6. Just like in business - focus on the high ROI tasks (Protein, calories, lifting). The low ROI tasks (fasting windows, keto, liver) are distractions from big profits.
7. Stick to low calorie drinks at networking events. Rum & diet coke, vodka soda, or straight whiskey (classy and low calorie).
8. Don’t cook your own meals. Use a meal delivery service or have your lady prepare your meals if she doesn’t have to work.
9. Invest in an expensive gym membership. Expensive gyms are places where you can network with other high-level people.
10. If you work from home, invest in a home gym. Your time is valuable, the $ you invest will easily be made back by the time you save from working out at home.
11. Keep a pair of resistance bands in your carry-on at all times. They're easy to carry and turn any hotel room into a home gym.
12. Eat out at places with highly customizable meals. Chipotle, Cava, and other fast food places where you decide the ingredients in each meal.
13. Track your workouts and nutrition. Data motivates the analytical mind.
14. Humble yourself. There are people who are dumber than you and poorer than you who are more ripped than you. The difference is that they’re actually consistent.
