  • What's up guys? Jeff Cavaliere , ATHLEANX.COM.

  • So we're approaching our 1 millionth subscriber here on youTube and for that I want to stop

  • and thank all of you

  • who subscribe to my channel, who support what I do and who consistently watch the videos

  • that I put out.

  • As a way of paying that back, you guys have asked me for a long time now.

  • Jeff, let us see a day in your life. Let us see what it is what you go through from a

  • business standpoint.

  • What your nutrition looks like, what your workout looks like and even what your business

  • looks like.

  • And what I wanted to do was, do exactly that.

  • Show you guys how it all starts and what it looks like from a day to day for me.

  • And it's pretty much to same a lot of the times for me, I like to have a routine and

  • a schedule.

  • And I think it's a very important thing for those that want to try to get to a certain

  • goal.

  • Be very focused, have a schedule, try to stick to it as much as you can.

  • For me, it all starts Breakfast at 8:30 in the morning.

  • I get up at about 8, I'm not the earliest riser in the world but you'll see why that

  • is as this day plays out.

  • And for me again, I've showed a lot of different meals that I like to eat.

  • My favorite one, we've covered on this channel before, Pumpkin Oatmeal, Scrambled Eggs and

  • Salsa, some Skim Milk, Kiwi Slices.

  • There's no fear of carbohydrates here guys, I actually enjoy eating carbohydrates.

  • I eat Protein, I get everything I need here in the morning to get me to feel the way I

  • need to get my day started.

  • This is just one representative example.

  • And it's off to Business. AX Business.

  • Guys it's obviously a lot to do, beyond just the videos that we put out here, to get ATHLEANX

  • to represent the ideal that I want it to.

  • To be the Best in Fitness. Not just an OK, remember I said don't want to be ever be average

  • and the same thing holds through in our business.

  • I don't want to be average, I want to be the Best and I want our business to represent

  • that.

  • And I get to work on that and I start working early and I keep that going.

  • Around mid morning I'm still working but I take a break to have a snack.

  • And for me, this is a typical day for yesterday, I had an RX2 Shake with Bananas and Strawberries.

  • So RX2 is our post workout but on days that I know I'm going to be super busy, especially

  • days that I'm going to be training, which you'll see later on,

  • I'll have an RX2 Shake, it's a perfect snack for me. It's easy for me to make in the morning

  • and take with me so I'm ready to go

  • and I have no concerns about my nutrition at that point, which a lot of people can trip

  • up usually in that mid morning.

  • And it's on the Conference Calls, Distance Coaching and Training.

  • So here the work shifts a little bit, so now I've got to be focused a little bit.

  • Whether I have a Conference Call as a consultant for a team or whether I have to consult with

  • one of my Athletes who doesn't live in the Northeast.

  • This is when I try to do that. It's my Distance Coaching time.

  • So we'll try to catch up on a program, go over what it is that I want them to do for

  • that given week or the next phase and period of time.

  • Just to check in. I have to make sure that I'm on top of what my Athletes are doing or

  • I feel like, not only do I lose a little bit of control,

  • but it's very very easy, even for guys that are being paid to do this for a living for

  • them to slip out of their schedule as well.

  • So it's my job as a Coach to rein them in and make sure they're on track.

  • Then Lunch, 1:45. I do eat a little bit of a later lunch but that's because again, this

  • whole morning was filled with work.

  • My lunch yesterday matter of fact, Grilled Cajun Chicken Wrap with Grilled Vegetables,

  • Sun Dried Tomatoes, Hot Sauce, a Greek Yogurt.

  • I'm loving the Chobani Banana and Oats at the moment so I had that.

  • And then a bottle of Sparkling Water. Sparkling Water is one of my biggest secrets for making

  • sure that I can drink enough water in a day.

  • I love the difference between Sparkling Water and flat water.

  • I can drink Sparkling Water by the bottle and continue to drink it and not even think

  • about it.

  • Whereas bottled water and regular flat water a lot of times feels like a chore to me.

  • If you feel the same, I would definitely try Sparkling Water.

  • Again no flavors, nothing in it, just regular Sparkling Water.

  • But it's the texture that makes it just a little bit more interesting to me.

  • Then it's Client Training.

  • So now if there's a Client that is in town and I have to train them here in the XBOX,

  • this is the time that I usually do it, right here in the afternoon.

  • A lot of Athletes are not early risers either and that works great with my schedule.

  • But if, even if they are, it just works really well when we train in the afternoon.

  • Guys have their energy levels up, they're ready to hit it and hit it hard.

  • We'll do Client Training and it doesn't matter, home or on the road.

  • Here you see me training with WWE Athlete Sting, yet this is out in Texas and this is

  • at his location.

  • And I'll do that a lot too guys. I travel a ton for my job.

  • If I have to go where my Athletes are, then I have to go where they are.

  • And that's exactly what we'll do to make sure we get the job done.

  • Back for a mid afternoon snack, this is now at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

  • Again yesterday, perfect example, Black Bean and Vegetable and Onion Soup and another bottle

  • of Sparkling Water.

  • So not a lot in the afternoon, I just didn't have a lot of time.

  • Sometimes I'll try to aim for more if I can. But if I can't, this is what it was. This

  • is exactly what I did as of yesterday.

  • Back to AX Business again. So now it's back to trying to answer emails, plan out the videos

  • that we're going to do.

  • That's all kind of occurring in this part of the afternoon, strategizing what we have

  • to do.

  • And again, off to Dinner now. Now I head home, Dinner at 7 o'clock.

  • Ahi Sesame Tuna Steak, Grilled Cajun Asparagus, Sweet Potato Mash, another bottle of Sparkling

  • Water.

  • I told you, I drink a lot of that. I wasn't exaggerating.

  • Next is my favorite time of the day which is when I Decompress. So I've had my Dinner

  • and now I spend time with the family.

  • My wife Michelle and our four little kids. These are our four kids, our four Black Labs.

  • There's four in case you lost track, now we rescued a new one, her name is Penny.

  • We have two rescue Labs and again my little Public Service announcement,

  • if you're in the market for a dog and you're looking to get a dog or any kind of an animal,

  • I would always stress, it's a great thing to rescue.

  • We have two purebred dogs, we also have these rescues and they are such great animals and

  • they deserve the upgrade.

  • I think that we spoil them like they're the only thing we have, so I know these guys lucked

  • out.

  • But if you're out there in the market, I would definitely do the same if you could.

  • And after that guys, now it's kind of getting time where I train. And I told you before,

  • I've been training later and later at night.

  • I start off, 8:45, RX1 with water. Now I don't necessarily always take a preworkout.

  • But if I'm going to be training at night like I have of late, I always take a preworkout.

  • I just want that little extra boost so I don't fade out, where others are already hitting

  • the bed, I've got to be ready to train and train hard.

  • So I hit my 8:45, 30 minutes before I train and then it's training.

  • In this particular workout here that you're seeing, went from 9:15 to 10 o'clock.

  • I did a little bit of athletic training and conditioning but I really this time, hit my

  • Shoulders. It was a Shoulder workout for me.

  • So I trained for, as I said 45 minutes, you know again if you take the conditioning out

  • of it, I was probably training hard 30 minutes on just my Shoulders.

  • But you'll see, I'm training hard and I'm working on getting it done more efficiently.

  • You don't need to train for hours and hours to get an efficient effective workout.

  • If you train hard, you can't train long and I say that all the time.

  • This particular workout had me wiped quick but I know that I did what I needed to do

  • to spark that progressive overload to build and get stronger and come back bigger and

  • stronger.

  • Post Workout after I'm done, 10 pm, I never miss my RX2 with Cinnamon.

  • So guys are always asking me for particular recipes, I get a little bit, I'm a little

  • bit boring when it comes to my post workout Shake.

  • I just like to put Cinnamon in it, it's already flavored Vanilla. This is my goto Shake, I

  • have it every single time I'm done training.

  • I feel it's exactly what I need to conclude a hard training session.

  • I view my workout not necessarily ending when I put the weights down.

  • I always view my workout as continuing because your body doesn't just say,

  • OK we're done now you go back to doing whatever you want to do.

  • It's a continuous process and it continues here as you fuel your body after your workout,

  • that's what I do.

  • And guess what, it's back to business again.

  • Matter of fact this is my most productive time of the night.

  • Anywhere in between 10:30 and 1 o'clock is probably my most productive time.

  • There's less emails coming in, there's no more phone calls to be made, everybody else

  • is sleeping and I feel like I'm getting ahead of the rest of the world.

  • And this is where I like to feel like I can get through and get a lot of work done and

  • I actually wind up doing that.

  • And of course, right before I go to bed, 12:30 about 30 minutes before I finally put my head

  • on the pillow at the end of the night.

  • I have my RX3 Reconstruction which is our nighttime Protein Recovery drink.

  • I just mix it with fresh Blueberries, a perfect way to end my day.

  • Even when I haven't trained, I also have my RX3 just to give me the nutrition that I need

  • because remember guys, your muscles grow while you're sleeping.

  • What you do in the gym is not making your muscles grow, it's breaking them down.

  • What you do to fuel your body when you go to bed, that means everything.

  • So don't ignore your nutrition, certainly don't ignore the opportunities you have to

  • provide your body with that nutrition at the right time.

  • That's what I do here. And again 12:30, 1 o'clock, half hour later, I just give it a

  • little time to digest.

  • 1 o'clock to 8 o'clock, that's the time that I stay in bed.

  • Pretty much do this again the next day and rewind.

  • I am a little bit repetitive here but I think it's good for you guys to see the schedule

  • and see what it's like

  • and again, you may not have to time to do what you want to do but you'll make the time

  • if it's important to you.

  • And I hope that you guys having watched this channel, found enough things, enough reasons

  • to become serious about what you do.

  • Take your nutrition seriously, take your sleep seriously, take your training seriously and

  • make the time for it.

  • Because I promise you guys, it is well worth the time that you will spend doing it.

  • Alright guys, if you found this video helpful and you liked it and you want to see more

  • of these behind the scenes,

  • let me know and I'll make sure I do more of them here as we approach our 2 millionth subscriber.

  • Alright guys, thanks a lot again.

  • I'll be back here again in just a couple days.

What's up guys? Jeff Cavaliere , ATHLEANX.COM.
