7-Hour High-Energy Training
Share
A story about Shaan's personal trainer who maintains incredible energy and positivity even after a long day of intense work.
"My trainer came to our house at 1PM and trained multiple people back-to-back until 7:30PM. He wasn't just sitting there on his phone while people worked out - he was fully switched on, motivating people, changing weights, demonstrating exercises, bringing excitement and talking to everyone.
By hour 7, he hadn't eaten anything, hadn't had a sip of water, hadn't taken a single break. What's amazing is he even took on unexpected clients - my mom was over and wanted to work out on a different day than usual, and he just said 'jump in, I'm here.'
At the end of this long day, I walked into the garage where he was cleaning up the workout stuff, and he had this huge smile on his face. Nobody was even there, he was just smiling to himself while putting things away. He looks at me and goes 'party time!' I have no idea what he was thinking about, but he was just in that mood.
I told my wife - you know how I am at the end of a workday when I've worked hard? I become this whiny little brat saying 'I'm so tired, I need to eat.' But this guy, after 7+ hours of intense work, comes at me with 'party time.' That's not how I end my workday when I work overtime."
