Drew Manning, David Welek - Episode 1423

Happy Wednesday!

We have Fit2Fat2Fit Author and Fitness expert Drew Manning. One Life Radio also has yoga and conditioning instructor David Welek on! We have a great show for you today, so stick around. Let's get started!

Drew Manning

Drew did the original Fit2Fat2Fit journey back in 2011 gaining 75 lbs on purpose in 6 months! The biggest lesson Drew learned for sure was empathy for those that struggle and the importance of it in this industry! No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care first! Drew is mainly doing this to spread the message of EMPATHY this time. In four months, gained 62.4 lbs, 12.5” gained in my waist, 9.5” gained in my hips, and 17.8% body fat gained. Drew did this all in 4 months!The first time around, Drew was eating the food to simply gain the weight. This time around, he wasn't just eating to gain weight, but eating to numb the pain as well to try and subdue the pain from a breakup. This caused Drew to think deeper into weight gain and weight loss. Most people do not have an understanding of the mental and emotional side of eating well and working out to lose weight. It becomes an emotional journey! Stay disciplined in one single thing every single day. You must also train your brain to get through uncomfortable situations. Drew does a 60 second shower to feel uncomfortable. What keeps Drew accountable is that tens of thousands of people are following along with him, and that is inspiring!

David Welek

David has been a strength and conditioning fitness instructor in Dallas, Texas for over 20 years. He is the creator of Black Dragon Yoga, a method of training that integrates principles and techniques of yoga and martial arts.David got into body building and strength training and by 24-25 years old, he felt old when he got out of bed. So he turned to yoga! David Welek credits yoga to relieving his addiction from weight training. Feeling stagnant with just yoga, David turned to martial arts as well. Years later, he still practices yoga and martial arts principals religiously. Black Dragon Yoga was born! Mobility and flexibility get used a lot interchangeably and they are different. Del ability is stretching the ligaments and lengthening them. Mobility is more for the joints and how much you can move your body.If you're not assessing, you're guessing. It is always best to get a full body assessment before throwing yourself into a fitness and yoga journey. David Welek also says that breath work is often overlooked in simple yoga classes! Being tested for breath work is so important.
