... sport, so I feel like that's kind of where UP would also probably sit in well, but it's like how do you balance body composition for an event like that, also being fueled right? Or an event like that
30:30
Yeah, look, I think it's a case of it depends where you are in the journey, right? So if you've got someone who comes in and they're very overweight or very unfit, then I think improving their body composition, their general fitness is gonna be key, and taking them on that journey where they simply just need to get that base, as we talked about, again.
30:49
And then I think a lot of the time with some of these physic- there, there's two different camps.
30:53
There's people that have been very fit or very strong or, you know, done lots of sport over the years that are coming into HYROX, and there's also a lot of people that are on a journey, that they're kind of introducing this into their life.
31:03
So I think you're building that through great nutrition, through great strength training, is gonna give you that aesthetic look as well.
31:11
Because I think, you know, if you do too much of one thing as well, you don't wanna be huge and bulky necessarily, but if you do no strength and just pure endurance, then it's not gonna give you the look either.
34:22
Do you think you can generally have both the look all y- like an all year round s- you know, aesthetic, or do you feel like you have to have the winter bulk, the summer shred, or can you, like you're ready for Instagram all year?
34:34
So again, you can, and again, it depends on then do you want to change that point you're at, right? You know, you can be lean, athletic looking, and if that is where you're comfortable being at, in theory you could maintain that.
