Silence.

Last Saturday, I ran a 5k broken up into 300 meter intervals on the 4th of July.

One of the habits I’ve gotten into is training without any caffeine, music or outside stimuli.

Initially, it was really hard because I felt like I needed caffeine or music to get me through my workouts and I realized that not only were they crutches, they were hindrances to me improving my performance.

Once I went dark and killed the noise, I found myself becoming more observant and learning through my training sessions; improving ever so slightly at every turn that’s led to compounded results in a relatively short period of time.

Case in point, I ran my first sub 18 minute 5k a few weeks back as a result of learning how to quiet my inner critic.

The one that says it’s too hot out, there’s an extreme heat wave warning and that you’re going to pass out before you finish your workout.

I’ve learned that this voice is much louder when I have caffeine in my system whereas when I’m able to quiet the mind by omitting caffeine (and music), I’m able to be fully present in the moment and I gotta tell you, it’s pure bliss.

This state of mind has been coined as flow state and it’s actually the antithesis or the exact opposite of self-sabotage.

I’m able to fully express the truest authentic version of myself without any masks and it’s been one of the most freeing experiences that I have even noticed translate into every other aspect of my life such as in my interactions with others.

So I want to encourage you to give it a go; no caffeine, no music, no outside stimuli at all.

Only you and the work at hand.

And when you do this, you may discover what I did and what the Sufi Poet Rumi discovered centuries ago, which is that:

“When you are silent, it speaks.”

- Rumi

HYROX Update: 8 weeks out

From Skinny-Fat To Six-Pack…

Your wedding kurta that fit just two years ago felt tight as you were trying it on for one of your friend’s wedding…

Despite hitting the gym and doing your best to eat healthy, you were stuck in a yo-yo cycle of being skinny fat that left you feeling uncomfortable and frustrated…

The medium size you always wore no longer fit around your waist and even the designer clothes you saw your favorite artist, Diljit Dosanjh, wear weren’t made for your skinny fat body type…

Having tried in person trainers, orange theory fitness classes and detoxes in the past, nothing stuck and you felt like you had to sacrifice everything to see results…

Then you came across my ad that spoke to you as a South Indian emphasizing how six pack abs were made in the kitchen…

In 16 weeks, you slashed your body fat percentage from a 21.7% down to a lean 14.6%…

Your weight dropped from 178 lbs to a strong 153 lbs and your waist size shrunk from a 34 to a comfortable 31…

Not only did you achieve a body recomposition but you’re radiating confidence, are stronger, more energetic and can walk into any store knowing that a medium off the rack will fit perfectly…

You even navigated buying a new house, starting a new role within your company, eating out and traveling all while maintaining your incredible results proving that with the right system, you don’t have to give up your social life and culture…

Congratulations on all of the progress you’ve made so far, Karan and I’m excited to continue building muscle as we shift into the next phase of our work together!

If you’re ready to learn the same SAS System that helped Karan lock in and achieve these results in time for Summer, DM me “SAS” and I’ll reach out to see if I can help!

P.S.

You’re next, Niki! :)
