Transcripts: “Before Anything Else” with Annabel Eyrick
Annabel Eyrick
I love seeing Jim. And so Jim obviously is a client of mine. I love seeing the passion and commitment and willingness to say, hey, you know what, I’m a human too. I do all these other things that may not be healthiest. But I’m committed to working out at least three times a week, and committed to healthy eating healthy as much as I can, and making that happen. And so we just need to make that a priority. Before anything else.
Unknown Speaker
Run your law firm the right way. This is the maximum layer podcast, podcast, your hosts, Jim hacking and Tyson Meatrix. Let’s partner up and maximize your firm. Welcome to the show.
Jim Hacking
Welcome back to the maximum lawyer Podcast. I’m Jim hacking at Meijer.
Unknown Speaker
What’s up Jimmy? Oh, Tyson,
Jim Hacking
my friend. It’s Friday getting excited. We’ve had some recording snack foods this week. So I’m glad we’re gonna have one in the can. For next week. Our listeners will be happy about that. And I think they’re going to really enjoy hearing from our guests today. Her name is Annabelle IRIC. And she is a personal trainer and she has her own company that she just started we’re going to talk about all those things. Annabelle, welcome to the show.
Annabel Eyrick
Thank you very much.
Tyson Mutrux
All right about to introduce yourself, or let’s just talk about what you do. And then how you know that knucklehead Jim hacking
Annabel Eyrick
that so I actually had an interesting start my career was not in fitness or nutrition that actually started it, I was in it for 25 years, wanted to do the corporate ladder thing like every every kid that is after the American buck, and but about 25 years later, I decided instead of chasing the almighty buck, I decided to take my passion, which has always been fitness and nutrition. So about four years ago, I dropped everything and decided to get a license and certification and personal training. And then more recently, a year ago, I also received my certification in nutrition. So I and as Jim mentioned earlier, I started my own company, which is called toe to finish solutions. And St. Louis Missouri.
Jim Hacking
Annabelle, I don’t want to skip over the fact that when you were young, you worked at a law firm and that in your it days that you worked with lawyers, what what’s been your general experience with lawyers? Since our listeners are lawyers? I’d be interested to hear your share on that.
Annabel Eyrick
Sure. As far back as I can remember, keep in mind when I was young on that’s a little while ago, unfortunately. But my recollection is, most attorneys tend to be very busy, they worked very long hours. And at that time, smoking, she was allowed to buildings, I if some of your listeners can imagine that. And so I would say the habits were not the best. People are always on the go on eating whatever fast food that’s available. And very little time for exercising and working out and really paying attention to their bodies.
Tyson Mutrux
So I’m just curious, like, a little bit about the food part of it, it really is hard, especially if you have multiple offices, it’s hard eating healthy. So what are some tips on eating healthier? That would be I guess, quick and easy for lawyers
Annabel Eyrick
to remember. So I just want to mention one thing that you had said earlier, which is no small part of it is that the eating part, actually, when it comes to full body health, eating is actually 70% of health and 30% is really on the fitness side. So I do want to mention how important that that nutrition is to the overall health and well being of an individual. But to your point. I know it’s hard. Even today, I have clients from morning to night. And so it is very difficult. What I would generally recommend is plan plan ahead, right? Making sure that you have healthy, easy access, snacks readily available. I’m not sure about everybody else, some of those that go through periods of hey, I’m going to go and work out and work really hard. After a long hard workout. Um, start within jelly 30 minutes, I’m starving. And I told Jim this before I start wanting to know my own arm, whatever this available. And so if I didn’t have something that’s healthy and readily accessible, I’m going to start eating anything that’s in sight, whether it’s take chips, everything that’s generally prepackaged and easy. So first and foremost, always have some healthy snacks available. And those that and I know as I mentioned earlier, attorneys tend to be very busy on the go. Many of you probably fly all over the country and not on internationally. In the circumstances. What I always say is the KISS principle and I really used throughout my career as well as my life as whatever it can do to keep it simple. as possible. And so in that situation, when it comes to dining out, which, which is a very tough part, and yet, whether you’re entertaining clients or you’re enjoying the company of other attorneys, it’s very hard to sit down and eat properly. However, every restaurant will have a piece of meat, every restaurant will have some decently healthy potato, and every restaurant generally has some vegetable. And what I tell all my clients and make it simple, right? If you can eat approximate this size of meat, and if you can eat properly, and this slice of carb, which is potato or brown rice, or wild rice, and as much vegetable as you want, for all three meals, that will keep it as simple as possible. It’s really accessible in most restaurants, and allow you to to have that healthy nutrition habit while on the go.
Jim Hacking
And Annabelle talk to us about slips, I was talking with some other members, Tyson I were talking with some people in the guild the other day, about, you know, the fact that so often we are in this sort of, I’m eating perfectly, I’m making no mistakes. And then once they make a mistake or cheat on something, then it all slides back to nothing.
Annabel Eyrick
Well, I’ll tell you a personal story. So I have a number of my clients and and I are sugar addicts. I’ll be the first thing my name is Annabelle and I’m a sugar addict. I’ve been publicly. And so which means I’m human just like everybody else. And yes, when I eat sugar, I want more sugar and I want to eat more sugar. And so very recently, I decided to have a little contest of a few things. And I Who are my clients choose to go with the competition of whoever can make it to 30 days, the rest of us buy that person dinner, whoever is a winner without sugar. And when we say sugar, we’re talking about processed sugar, let us take Twinkies, Twix bars, whatever you will. And so I, I participate in that. And as most healthcare professionals will tell you, when you go cold turkey, that’s all you want. It’s just like everybody else, I’m that kid in the candy store. And just if I can’t have it, I want it. And so I started messing about it and, and wanting it. And, and there were there were days where it was so difficult. I I remember, actually going to the Walgreens, the one Walgreens that I knew had my exact ice cream I like every single time, I went in there, pick up a carton of ice cream, which is Ben and Jerry’s tonight. So by the late had in my hand, and I literally was shaking and had finally decided to put it back close door. And was the test I think I’ve ever gone through of all the things that I’ve done in my life. That said, what I did though, was I filled myself with so many other things that were not necessarily healthy just because you know, you’re getting away from candy bars or the twigs or whatever you have. It doesn’t necessarily mean that all the other things are non calorie and healthy. And so I would substitute a lot with dried fruits or a ton of different fruits, which also have sugar, I’ll be more natural, but they still have calories. And we still have sugar, or breads or whatever that doesn’t have processor. Unfortunately, in that span of 30 days, I actually gained weight because of it. And so more recently, what I decided to do is go back to what I what I did before I recognize that I’m human. And I recognize that there’s some things that we just can’t take away. And then frankly, at 46 years old, by God, I want to live a little bit. And so I decided to allow myself to be human. And so I eat healthy all day long. But at night, generally about 830 When my son goes to bed, I get a couple of sheets of graham crackers, break them all up, which makes the h eight pieces and then take a nice decent spoon of peanut butter, and that’s my snack. And once I have that satiated and my belief started coming down. So again, that just if anything that worked for me, that may not necessarily work for everyone that works for me. And so I think increasing nutrition, everybody needs to find something that works for them right? And some people focus more on low carbs, some people focus more on low sugar, whatever, that I hate calling the diet but whatever a nutrition plan that you do stick plant that works for you. That’s what I would go for.
Tyson Mutrux
You know, I’ve got a question that’s somewhat similar to that. So I, whenever I work out really hard, I’ve got this tendency to then go to the extreme, and I can think I think I can eat whenever I want. And can you talk a little bit about that part of it?
Annabel Eyrick
Absolutely. In fact, I, I wrote an article several years back with regards to, it’s called the New Year resolutions. What that means, as you mentioned, is, you know, when we get on a 90 a health kick, Chalian, new come New Year’s Day, we, we think we’re going to make it this year, we’re going to work out as hard as we can. And, and, and when we do that, we give ourselves the license to then eat and graze while we want. Because by God for the last hour, I’ve busted my butt to sweat and, and get for, like dessert to eat. And unfortunately, that doesn’t work. What most people don’t realize is, you cannot without planning ahead, you cannot work out as much calories as you consume. So as most people may know, maybe, maybe not. Is that scientifically your body, the only way you can maintain, lose or gain weight is from calories in meaning consumed, calories out, expended, right. And so if the case is you’re eating more calories than your body can consume, that can get expense scuze me, you’re going to gain weight, gain weight, and vice versa. And so in that instance, for example, this is a I used to train for marathons and ran lots of different crazy competition that are similar. And anytime I train for those, obviously, I’m expending a tremendous amount of calories, a lot of time, a lot of blood, sweat and tears to to make that goal. However, what I always have seen as my weight would, would steadily go up, because I have to consume so many calories in order to appease my hunger. And so this kind of goes back to what I said earlier, which is, when you are working out so hard, you have got to plan ahead, you have to have those healthy, low calorie snacks that can fill you up, for example, vegetables, you know, low calorie dip on a salsa, whatever the case that allows you to be satisfied without the addition of calories, that unfortunately, will increase that weight. So again, to your point, Tyson is, most people think they have the license to just eat whatever they want, when they exercise. And generally, there rarely is the case that when you eat whatever you want, it’s going to offset by the exercise that you do.
Jim Hacking
We’re talking with Annabelle IRIC with total fitness solutions. Annabelle has a great Facebook page that she just started for total fitness solutions. So if you guys want to find her there you can, Annabelle.
Unknown Speaker
Let’s let’s shift gears for a minute before we talk about exercise as we shift away from food. Talk to us a little bit about how it’s been going out on your own these last few months and what lessons you’ve learned and how you’ve enjoyed it.
Annabel Eyrick
Yeah, it’s been a great experience, I will say, certainly, it was risky. To do that on my own. Previously, I was working for a fitness center, here locally. And often, especially at the beginning, I was handed a lot of new clients, and did very well became fairly successful there. To the point where the last year and a half, two years, most of my clients were all referrals. And so I very much enjoyed that. However, it became very time consuming when a lot of my clients asked if I could start working with them and film. Or in my part studio, which I had previously. Because of the logistic challenge. I decided to take all my business and housing my own studio and make that transition by that policy. Well, it was a very frightening experience for me, even though I’ve had my own businesses before. I didn’t know what to expect it the first time I’ve ever had my own business as a fitness instructor. And in that capacity, I wasn’t sure if clients would come join me whether I just assumed that perhaps a large percentage would perhaps stay with the fitness centers that they were going to versus coming to, to me on a steady basis. Very pleasant surprise. Every single one of my clients actually followed me. So I if anything, I’m very thankful and very blessed to have that option. And since then, month by month, I would probably say I’ve increased at least to two three clients. Again, by word of mouth, each my sense in this section of my business.
Tyson Mutrux
That’s really awesome. That’s really good. I think it’s really important that it’s a testament to the job you do for people. So it’s really good. I want to ask you about time management and things like that, and getting getting the opportunity to work out. And so I don’t know, I mean, maybe you’ve got some tips on getting in a workout at the office or carving out time to get a workout in. And then we also talked about it, does he really have to get in that full all out workout every week? Or three times a week? Or can you just walk at night? And can you talk a little bit about that? Because a lot of problems that we have with lawyers is that they’ve got, they say, Well, you know, I don’t have time to work out during the week. So can you address that?
Annabel Eyrick
Of course. So when I was in it, the last position I was in, I was running a 250 person office. And so I understand working hard and working overtime all the time, because that was a salary. So there were times where I worked 60 to 80 hours a week, it’s difficult to even see family, much less go workout in. However, that’s always something that I’ve enjoyed. And so what I’ve done in the past is I have bought myself a stationary pedal, which actually fits right under my desk. And so my colleagues actually would come in and see me pedaling on typing on my computer. And so at least I’m getting some activity, some circulation and some cardiovascular benefit. The other thing that I also invested in which Jim knows, is a fit desk, the desk actually is a stationary bicycle that actually has a desk platform where you can cap your laptop on top and be able to pull away a different resistance, while you’re actually working. On the other item that actually was really available. If the platform treadmill where it’s a treadmill that has similar to the Fit desk, desk on top, or connect your iPad, more tab wherever you will, that’s believable. So you can actually work while you are still exercising. Now, I think one of the biggest challenges are those attorneys that tend to travel often. And I did the same thing. And it I traveled all over the country. And it was very difficult. One of the best inventions I think in and this is a product called TRX, which I can tell you, Jim is a very big fan. I’d say that he likes TRX faces, this suspension system is basically two ropes of handles, and it can’t hang from every single door, that piece of equipment. If you go through the the video, by the way I don’t, I don’t actually offer any of these equipment. And I am not a spokesperson for any of those. It’s just personal experience what I used and prefer. But anyway, this TRX suspension system, it can hang from any hotel door, you can train every part of your body with that piece of equipment without ever going outside your hotel room. And so I understand, generally after four days of traveling your full days of meeting, you have to go to a company event dinner or client dinner, and thereafter. You’re tired. But I think for most part, all of us can squeeze out 20 minutes, 30 minutes, right? Whether it’s before the started the day where it’s towards the end of the day. And so I think the key here is making a priority right? On saying hey, my health, my body is important to me and my family. Think about your family. Think about all those around you that you love and and why you work, right. I don’t know about everybody else. But I worked so I can retire earlier and have some fun. And if cases I can’t I have a crippled body. And I can’t have cardiovascular diseases, or whatever health ailments that I have, and can’t enjoy the retirement that’s coming to me. Why bother working at all? And so making that a priority, I think is a real key and making that commitment, right? I love his scene, Jim. So Jim obviously is a client of mine. I love seeing the passion and commitment and willingness to say hey, you know what, I’m human too. I do all these other things that may not be healthiest, but I’m committed to working out for at least three times a week. I’m committed to eating healthy as much as I can’t enjoy making that happen. And so we just need to make that a priority. Before anything else, and I think for most part we can all squeeze out 20 minutes. Think surely that ever Every, everybody has a 20 message during the day.
Jim Hacking
And we’ll talk to our listeners, I know you have some thoughts on cardio versus working out with weights, if you could share those with everyone, I think that’d be helpful.
Annabel Eyrick
Eat that. So both are important. So weight training, other otherwise called resistance training is basically using some form of resistance, whether it’s dumbbells, a barbell, or your bodyweight, to exercise, right. And generally, when it comes to weight or strength training, what we’re after is building muscle muscle mass. As many of you may know, the bigger the muscle, the more calories you burn. And so many more muscles you have in your body, even during your sleep, and the sleeping cycles, you’re going to burn more calories. And so when it comes to strength training, what’s important there is building those muscles, maintain those muscles, and be able to allow those muscles to move your skill skeleton in a fashion where you’re having the proper gait, the proper form and doing your daily activities. And so having them those muscles are so critical. And so string training is a vital part of that fitness, overall fitness program. Same as cardio, no cardio, as far as the cardio exercises, which means walking, running, biking, skiing, whatever activity that increases your cardiovascular health, and basically helps you get a little bit more winded. That too, is is vital on because we need that cardiovascular health in order to stave off a lot of the cardiovascular diseases that that may plague us, it’s the case we jumped. That said, there’s a market difference between the two as far as how our body responds on the when you when you go for a run, generally, your first couple of times, you’re going to be winded, you’re going to be sore. But generally after about a week or two, your body starts plateauing, meaning and no longer get that same amount of benefit, which also then means your muscles are not developing as much, you’re just getting more of the cardiovascular benefits out of that run. Whereas if you train, let’s just say with weights bodyweight, whatever the equipment that you have, your muscle continues to grow and develop, and, and progress. And so there’s that difference. The other difference that that’s very important for us to know is that cardio tends to back up our hunger. And so after insight to put this to test for anyone, after an hour run, I like to kind of challenge everyone to see how hungry they are, versus an hour of hard strength training. Because again, cardiovascular exercises tend to spike up a hunger make us a lot more hungrier because it depletes stored energy, it’s called glycogen store energy is sugar that is released into your body to allow you to to run it depletes that the quickly and so our body’s saying feed me feed me Seymour feed me. And because of that, after a long run, kind of a way of example, I said earlier, I start running on my arm and so there’s not really accessible staff or healthy I’m going to start eating everything in sight. Whereas strength training is different strength training actually lowers your your blood sugar actually allows you to have have more steady Eddy even though you may not be burning the same amount of calories. For example, if I went for a a five mile run during during an hour, I will burn approximately 550 calories based on weight in size. However, if I bring train for an hour, I may burn about 300 calories. However, my hunger is not spiked. And as I am just living and breathing. After that one hour, I will continue to burn calories, the soreness and lactic acid that has been built up while your strength training and your body trying to kind of cleanse itself up that lactic acid will continue to burn calories. And so in the long run, strength training actually burns more calories, if done properly than cardio. And so, from that from an exercise standpoint, those are things that we wanted to make sure we balanced and half again, snacks and foods are readily available and prepared ahead of time so that you prepare for whichever exercise you choose for the day.
Tyson Mutrux
enroll attorneys tend to burn the candle at both ends. And so we don’t get a lot of sleep sometimes. Can you talk a little bit about the effect of sleep on our overall fitness?
Annabel Eyrick
Of course, it’s interesting. Jim has tested this, in most of my clients look to, generally after two or three months after working with a client, I generally get to know their daily habits. And so when somebody comes in, and for whatever reason, they were able to lift 20 pounds last week, but they can lift, barely 15 pounds. One first thing I asked, How’d you sleep last night, that is actually the first thing that affects your workout, the next day is, like asleep on every person, as most of us know, require at least seven half hours of sleep. In fact, bodybuilders, professional bodybuilders, if you ask any of them, they can tell you, their sleep generally is somewhere between eight to 10 hours, because your body needs that. In fact, it’s only when you’re resting that your body can recover and build muscles. So for example, the one hour strength training I mentioned earlier, when you’re in a gym, or when you’re actually working out, your body is not building muscles, it’s actually breaking down muscles, it’s actually after the workout is when your body starts building muscles when you’re sleeping. And so when you don’t have that proper amount of sleep, you’re not going to be able to recover, and you’re going to be more sore longer. And you’re not going to be able to build those muscles, because you don’t have enough breath. Now, that said, as you mentioned in the attorneys, like most professionals, just are burning candles at both hands is very difficult. In fact, a lot of the stress, I know tends to lead to sleeplessness, because we’re thinking constantly about that work. The nice thing about especially strength training is that it actually allows you to have much deeper, better sleep quality. Jim, I’m sure you can attest to this on when I first met Jim, one of the things that he’d mentioned is I had very terrible sleep habits, habits. Often and then this is not just Jim, but often my clients would and not be able to sleep until fairly late or when they do finally go to sleep, they they’re up and down. And so they’re not getting enough rest, even if they wanted to, or have the opportunity to do so. And what they find one of the first things that they discovered with strength training is that their sleep patterns start to improve on in fact, like sitive, all the different things on that strength and cardio vascular exercise, help with is sleep, better quality sleep, your blood sugar comes down, your mood starts to improve. There’s so many wonderful things that come with all this workout regimens, if you’re able to adhere to them. So it’s a cycle, it’s a vicious cycle. If you don’t sleep, you’re not going to build muscles, you don’t build muscles, and strength train, you’re not going to sleep well. Whereas if you do work out, you’re gonna get better quality sleep, maybe it’s not as much as you want, but still are going to have that deeper, better quality sleep, and thus, you’re going to be able to be recovered and clear those muscles to build on. And so that cycle can spiral up or can spiral down depends on how you manage your health.
Jim Hacking
All right, for my last up, I want to talk about one of my favorite things, which is the Tough Mudder that we’ve done together three times you’ve done it many times more than that, and you’ve done the Toughest Mudder which is a 24 hour Tough Mudder talk to our listeners about that. And there have been some members of the group talking about us forming a maximum lawyer, Tough Mudder team next year.
Annabel Eyrick
Awesome. I would love to see that. Tough Mudder is a very interesting event and that as, as a lot of people know, tough mudder is a jelly that the what they call a Tough Mudder Classic is a 10 to 12 mile obstacle course, through the month. In the latter part, it is tough in that a lot of the obstacles are on the test your fear of heights that test your fear of base, test your fear of water, a lot of different things, hence the tough part. And so the thing I love about Tough Mudder above most events or competitions is that the Tough Mudder Classic is not a competition. What it is is a collaborative team effort meaning there are several obstacles that you cannot do on your own. In fact, that actually and it’s hard to express with words as far as what why it’s so important to me and how rewarding it is to me. It’s not getting to the finish line for worked on that is actually I can do that with marathons that or any other competition. What’s most rewarding to me is helping somebody that could never have done that one obstacle on their own. Gemma, do you mind if I give an example your your example, which something I actually repeated many times allow me to do so this first year didn’t train with me. I said, Hey, you know what? I think you should show my top motor team. He said, What the heck is that? So explain? And he said, Oh, hell no, gets hard. And I said, No, you know what? I think you get it, you have the capability, you have the tenacity, in you have the commitment. And so it is a three month grueling training that I provided to Jim and members of his team. And we went through all that. And then we were ready. So there’s one particular obstacle, it’s called Everest, Everest is, as you guys ever seen in rollerskates, parks or, or skateboard parks, are these big, high tall ramps, imagine thing ramp, but approximately 15 to 20 feet tall. So the premise is you have to run as fast as you can, and your muddy shoes and your muddy gear at this very slick ramp, and get to the top and get over it. So there are several things. In play. There’s there’s speed, there’s heights, there’s teamwork, because there rarely will somebody be able to get up to that height, and be able to climb up and go over the top on their own. And what I share with team is, hey, what you want to do is you want to run you run like the wind, you keep going until you think you can run all the way to the other side and don’t stop running, you have to keep running. And so it was Jim’s turn, he gets full steam, he starts running, he runs up there as fast as he could. He gets there to the top, he get grabbed onto my hand, he grabs onto another team members hand, and he is holding on for dear life. And this is one of the toughest obstacles around and and he starts to slip he and he looked at me, he said, and if I’m slipping, I’m gonna fall. And I remember looking into his eyes and said, Jim, I’m not gonna let you fall in the second law choked up about that part of the story. So if he hiked up his leg, another team member grabbed on to it. And he finally came over. And to think that three months ago, Jim never thought he could make that happen to the Volk on his face. His wife became a trainer.
Jim Hacking
That’s what I’m talking about.
Annabel Eyrick
I truly am not the series of an individual, but I will tell you, that was the kick ass moment friction, to be able to get up there and look so proud and say, dammit, I did that. So that is 100. So cool. It was absolutely awesome. So whomever can’t get me wrong, join this team and go, you will understand it’s not the competition is the the self the actual reward of helping somebody else that could never do it worth being able to tackle an obstacle on your own, where you never thought you could.
Tyson Mutrux
Well, hopefully what we can do, Jim is talking to Annabelle into leaving a session or two during the conference next year. A couple of workout sessions. So we’re gonna work on that after the call. But I do want to warn you that he did not No, no, not at all. Not at all. But I do want to wrap things up before I do. I want to remind everybody to go to the Facebook groups get involved there. We have a lot of great activity, a lot of great new members. And so get involved there. And as soon as this year this week asking for a Google review, like I normally do, or not Google review, a podcast review, I want to ask everybody to go and sign up for the conference. We want to meet everybody in St. Louis next year. We we talk to a lot of you. We chat with you online, but we don’t actually get to meet with you. So we want to blow this year’s numbers out of the window. And and really just meet everybody. So go and sign up for the conference. You can find it in the Facebook group. Jimmy, what is your hack of the week?
Jim Hacking
All right, so I was listening to podcast today and I came across a new app that I’ve really come to like it’s called Brain toss. And it was made by the get things done crew with David Allen. And all it is it’s a very simple app. It does three things. You can either record a voice message and image or a note and then it emails it to yourself. So I’m someone who has lots of ideas He is during the course of the day and half of them I forget, I don’t have anything to write it down with. But I usually have my phone. So you’re going to take a picture to remind yourself, you can do a voice and then where you can type a little note and it goes to your self as an email.
Annabel Eyrick
And go to one. Annabelle, do you have a tip? Right for? Sure. Actually, this is hung up on my wall. I’m so sure Jim’s seen a million times. It’s actually quote from Theodore Roosevelt. It says believes and you can and you can, you’re halfway there. And I say that about everything when it comes to our health and fitness. So pleased that you can. It’s one day at a time, and so you’re halfway there. So that’s my tip.

All right, for my tip of the week, it’s the road tripper app. This is something that my wife, Amy recommended to me because we were going on a trip to Indiana. And it’s actually really awesome. So you can actually see other restaurants, other points of interest. There’s photographs of those areas, all within the app. And so you can actually see on your trip, as you’re going little, I guess a little icon showing you where there’s different things along the route and also when you plug it in. So this is could be useful for people that can build their clients. It’s for cost is you can actually plug in the destination. And it’ll tell you the exact cost and what it will be in fuel. So it’s actually a really, really cool app. I really highly recommend. Thanks for being on the show and have a great day.
