32 00:03:42.900 --> 00:04:01.950 Avik Chakraborty: Yeah, lovely, lovely. So, tavin like, before we start our conversation, I would quickly love to introduce you to all of our listeners that Kevin is not only a dedicated father of 5 and a loving husband, but he is also a seasoned fitness coach with over 15 years of experience.

34 00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:24.979 Avik Chakraborty: So Diamond's journey is nothing sort of remarkable, like from being born into a world of adversity, battling against the odds and eventually

35 00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:32.439 Avik Chakraborty: excelling in sports, earning a full ride scholarship to play division one football.

36 00:04:32.810 --> 00:04:35.899 Avik Chakraborty: But his journey didn't stop there.

37 00:04:36.410 --> 00:04:47.109 Avik Chakraborty: After discovering the corporate world wasn't his calling. He found his true passion into the fitness where he's made a lasting impact for over a decade.

38 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:58.779 Avik Chakraborty: So in today's episode, we will delve deep into the power of health and the fitness, exploring how it can fuel, not just your body, but your mind and the spirit as well.

39 00:04:59.460 --> 00:05:10.700 Avik Chakraborty: So he will share his insights on building a healthy lifestyle, overcoming the challenges and achieving the lasting transformation. So let's get started. Welcome to the show again. Diamond.

40 00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:11.390 Tywin Kalandyk: Thank you.

41 00:05:13.097 --> 00:05:29.379 Avik Chakraborty: So diamond like your journey has been incredibly inspiring. So from overcoming the early life challenges to excelling in sports and then transitioning into fitness. So how did your experiences shaped your approach to the health and fitness.

42 00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:49.649 Tywin Kalandyk: Yeah, absolutely. And again, thank you for having me on. I think you know, we all undergo certain circumstances and and scenarios growing up to kind of mold us inform us to to become who we are. They just look different. So for me it was being born a drug and alcohol addicted baby thrown

43 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.819 Tywin Kalandyk: straight into foster care.

44 00:05:52.162 --> 00:06:09.759 Tywin Kalandyk: And it was kind of trials and tribulations and ups and downs from the get go but I'm grateful for that, because that really taught me early on what life was like. And I think anybody that's listening to this understands life's a series of ups and downs and twirls and twists.

45 00:06:09.950 --> 00:06:32.975 Tywin Kalandyk: And it's how you handle those things that are really gonna dictate. The direction your life goes and your fitness journey is no different for most people. It's a it's a whirlwind of ups and downs and whirlwinds of figuring things out. But then, when you figure it out. And when you get an alignment the whole thing actually becomes really, really,

46 00:06:33.450 --> 00:06:36.090 Tywin Kalandyk: really simple to actually do believe it or not.

47 00:06:37.190 --> 00:06:46.574 Avik Chakraborty: Wow! That's that's real lovely. And so you coach men on how to go from fat to fit in 90 days without relying on fat diet. So

48 00:06:47.050 --> 00:06:48.950 Avik Chakraborty: what's the secret to

49 00:06:49.510 --> 00:06:52.750 Avik Chakraborty: creating such effective and sustainable transformations.

50 00:06:53.490 --> 00:06:57.359 Tywin Kalandyk: Yeah, sure. I think the very 1st step is getting uncomfortable.

51 00:06:57.719 --> 00:07:05.289 Tywin Kalandyk: Because when you're in a a state of being comfortable, people don't want to make the change needed, you know, cause it's

52 00:07:05.640 --> 00:07:18.479 Tywin Kalandyk: it feels good when you're comfortable. It's it's it's a good place to be so. 1st step is getting uncomfortable, and I do that just by even telling people you know, by saying fat to fit, I might say fat for a reason. I don't use overweight.

53 00:07:18.610 --> 00:07:23.220 Tywin Kalandyk: I don't use like these soft words, because words have meaning

54 00:07:23.380 --> 00:07:41.360 Tywin Kalandyk: and words have a way of moving us. So when you, when you even just hearing the word fat. It stinks. It's even hard sometimes when you 1st start saying the word fat, because you say well, I don't want to be rude, or I don't want to judge people or no, it's not about that. I'm not judging someone's character

55 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.050 Tywin Kalandyk: in all actuality. I'm just stating the truth.

56 00:07:45.230 --> 00:07:49.930 Tywin Kalandyk: but a lot of times we don't like hearing the truth. So the very 1st part is just

57 00:07:50.070 --> 00:07:55.709 Tywin Kalandyk: getting in a state of being uncomfortable. So you're willing to do the things needed.

58 00:07:55.710 --> 00:07:56.030 Avik Chakraborty: Yeah.

59 00:07:56.030 --> 00:08:05.030 Tywin Kalandyk: To see the changes, because it's not like the things needed are hard. It's just most people are very comfortable doing what they've been doing?

60 00:08:05.496 --> 00:08:08.870 Tywin Kalandyk: So I think that's the 1st step is getting them uncomfortable.

61 00:08:08.940 --> 00:08:13.939 Tywin Kalandyk: And then I I think the second step that happens pretty much right after that

62 00:08:14.508 --> 00:08:16.299 Tywin Kalandyk: is building the belief.

63 00:08:16.590 --> 00:08:18.580 Tywin Kalandyk: building the belief in yourself.

64 00:08:19.020 --> 00:08:26.270 Tywin Kalandyk: building the belief that you can get the results. And starting start immediately rewriting your story.

65 00:08:26.280 --> 00:08:29.400 Tywin Kalandyk: because we all have a story that we tell ourselves.

66 00:08:29.410 --> 00:08:31.080 Tywin Kalandyk: and unfortunately.

67 00:08:31.350 --> 00:08:33.370 Tywin Kalandyk: usually that story is

68 00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:37.799 Tywin Kalandyk: wrong. Usually that story is accumulation of

69 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:47.650 Tywin Kalandyk: what your parents told you, growing up what your teachers told you, growing up all of these outside influences, and you just make them your own.

70 00:08:48.030 --> 00:08:52.609 Tywin Kalandyk: So it's time to kind of rewrite that. So those are probably the 1st 2 steps, and

71 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:55.309 Tywin Kalandyk: give them the the biggest steps you need to take.

72 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:57.170 Avik Chakraborty: Lovely, lovely.

73 00:08:57.350 --> 00:09:02.590 Avik Chakraborty: So many people struggle with finding those motivation to maintain a fitness, routine.

74 00:09:02.920 --> 00:09:03.760 Tywin Kalandyk: Beautiful.

75 00:09:04.086 --> 00:09:08.979 Avik Chakraborty: How do you help your clients, I mean, stay committed and motivated throughout their journey.

76 00:09:10.170 --> 00:09:17.540 Tywin Kalandyk: Yeah, absolutely. Great question. And that is something that's very common is, people have a hard time staying motivated. It's probably one of the

77 00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:21.540 Tywin Kalandyk: top. 5 questions I hear is, how do I stay motivated? Well.

78 00:09:21.560 --> 00:09:22.799 Tywin Kalandyk: here's the thing.

79 00:09:23.450 --> 00:09:27.589 Tywin Kalandyk: The reason you're not motivated is because you're not going for what you really want.

80 00:09:28.330 --> 00:09:40.780 Tywin Kalandyk: And when I say that a lot of times I'm like, Well, what are you talking about? I'm like, well, you you told me you wanted to lose 50 pounds, and that's what you're going for. But that's not what you really want. That's what you think you want.

81 00:09:40.810 --> 00:09:46.109 Tywin Kalandyk: Because if that was what you really wanted. I've never had a person lose the weight

82 00:09:46.180 --> 00:09:56.359 Tywin Kalandyk: and then walk around with a scale and stand on it in front of people and say, Hey, look how much weight I lost, and and then do it to the next person. Step on the scale and look how much weight I lost. It's not about the weight.

83 00:09:56.410 --> 00:10:11.130 Tywin Kalandyk: Maybe it's the confidence you wanted. Maybe you wanted to feel more. Affection from your spouse. Maybe you want people to respect you more. It wasn't the actual weight that you were going for. So once you get clear

84 00:10:11.410 --> 00:10:13.300 Tywin Kalandyk: on what you actually want

85 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.550 Tywin Kalandyk: being motivated

86 00:10:15.630 --> 00:10:36.160 Tywin Kalandyk: is is, it's it's easy. It's it's something you're gonna do, naturally. And I like to tell, I like to use the example of. You know, I know we all have people that we love and we care about. And I know this is a little graphic. But I want, I want people to understand this like, imagine someone you love and you care about, and and you would do anything for.

87 00:10:36.490 --> 00:10:38.500 Tywin Kalandyk: and they get kidnapped.

88 00:10:38.910 --> 00:10:41.510 Tywin Kalandyk: and the people that kidnap them say, hey.

89 00:10:41.820 --> 00:10:47.150 Tywin Kalandyk: you need to come up with a hundred $1,000 in the next 72 h.

90 00:10:47.350 --> 00:10:50.210 Tywin Kalandyk: or you'll never see this person again.

91 00:10:51.060 --> 00:11:02.770 Tywin Kalandyk: even if you you have no idea you don't have that kind of money. You've never seen that kind of money. I guarantee you don't have to be motivated to go figure out how to get it

92 00:11:04.520 --> 00:11:10.000 Tywin Kalandyk: like, it's you do it naturally. And the reason you do it naturally, you're gonna figure it out is because.

93 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:10.650 Avik Chakraborty: Hmm.

94 00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:21.400 Tywin Kalandyk: That's something you really want like this is someone you love and you care about. So you want to get them back. So you're willing to do whatever you don't need motivation to go, do what needs to be done.

95 00:11:22.180 --> 00:11:28.336 Avik Chakraborty: Very true, very true. It's it. It happens definitely. It happens so.

96 00:11:28.820 --> 00:11:30.126 Avik Chakraborty: And also

97 00:11:31.990 --> 00:11:36.400 Avik Chakraborty: you have been in the fitness industry for the over 15 years. So

98 00:11:37.110 --> 00:11:39.050 Avik Chakraborty: how have you seen

99 00:11:40.130 --> 00:11:47.540 Avik Chakraborty: the trends or the practices for the long term? Success in the industry.

100 00:11:49.260 --> 00:11:50.770 Tywin Kalandyk: Yeah, awesome question.

101 00:11:51.317 --> 00:11:58.099 Tywin Kalandyk: So unfortunately, I wish I could say we've made, you know, leaps and bounds, and everything's getting better. And

102 00:11:58.330 --> 00:12:04.639 Tywin Kalandyk: honestly, I don't think it is, and and here's why I say that there's more gyms now than there's ever been.

103 00:12:04.850 --> 00:12:05.180 Avik Chakraborty: Yeah.

104 00:12:05.180 --> 00:12:12.129 Tywin Kalandyk: There's more different fitness facilities than there's ever been. There's more information out there than it's ever been.

105 00:12:12.350 --> 00:12:14.520 Tywin Kalandyk: And I think one of the problems is

106 00:12:14.890 --> 00:12:18.119 Tywin Kalandyk: we're we're chasing down instant gratification.

107 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:18.520 Avik Chakraborty: Right.

108 00:12:18.520 --> 00:12:21.970 Tywin Kalandyk: You know, when I say instant gratification. People are looking for

109 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:27.219 Tywin Kalandyk: the quick fix, the new gadget, the new thing, the new Gizmo.

110 00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:37.630 Tywin Kalandyk: and it's not the gadget, the gizmo, or the thing that's gonna make the long term lasting change. That doesn't mean the gadget or the gizmo or the diet doesn't work.

111 00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:39.240 Tywin Kalandyk: but that alone won't

112 00:12:39.370 --> 00:12:42.919 Tywin Kalandyk: work. It really starts with 1st and foremost, like

113 00:12:43.110 --> 00:12:59.650 Tywin Kalandyk: getting your mind right, getting your beliefs right? Getting your programming right? Otherwise you're never gonna stick to the diet, the workout, whatever it is you're trying to do. So it really starts internally, and I think a lot of

114 00:13:01.190 --> 00:13:10.509 Tywin Kalandyk: trainers and coaches out there. They don't understand that aspect of it. So they're able to get their clients results temporarily.

115 00:13:11.030 --> 00:13:14.800 Tywin Kalandyk: But long term, I think that's where we kind of struggle.

116 00:13:16.180 --> 00:13:16.920 Avik Chakraborty: Understood.

117 00:13:19.640 --> 00:13:24.739 Avik Chakraborty: So that's really awesome answer, and and also at the same time.

118 00:13:25.362 --> 00:13:44.220 Avik Chakraborty: so on. Healthy matter, healthy life. When we're talking about this, and also mental health is very closely tied up with physical health. So how do you incorporate the mental wellness into your fitness programs, I mean, and also at the same time, why do you believe that this is so important.

119 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.999 Tywin Kalandyk: Yeah, absolutely have it, man, you have some great questions.

120 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:48.454 Avik Chakraborty: Yeah.

121 00:13:48.910 --> 00:13:49.410 Tywin Kalandyk: Say

122 00:13:51.190 --> 00:13:53.870 Tywin Kalandyk: I would say. 1st of all, it's it's it's

123 00:13:54.100 --> 00:14:01.890 Tywin Kalandyk: it's so important, it's it's so important. Because if cause, whatever is happening, internal is just going to be expressed externally.

124 00:14:01.890 --> 00:14:02.630 Avik Chakraborty: Hmm.

125 00:14:02.630 --> 00:14:10.800 Tywin Kalandyk: And I think a lot of times we don't. We don't realize that I don't know if it's because we're not taught that I I don't know but whatever's going on on the inside, it's gonna be expressed on the outside.

126 00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:19.070 Tywin Kalandyk: And so it's definitely important. So for me, I use a lot of visualization. I think it's super important to visualize

127 00:14:19.803 --> 00:14:21.439 Tywin Kalandyk: and there's a lot of different ways.

128 00:14:21.520 --> 00:14:24.219 Tywin Kalandyk: You could do this. Some people visualize and

129 00:14:24.540 --> 00:14:28.130 Tywin Kalandyk: and start thinking about the future self. Some people use affirmations.

130 00:14:28.866 --> 00:14:32.279 Tywin Kalandyk: Some people use meditations sometimes just sitting alone

131 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.789 Tywin Kalandyk: in a room by yourself

132 00:14:35.160 --> 00:14:37.180 Tywin Kalandyk: and just thinking of your thoughts.

133 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.030 Tywin Kalandyk: and then deciding like, are these my thoughts.

134 00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:43.980 Tywin Kalandyk: or are these someone else's thoughts? Do these thoughts serve me.

135 00:14:44.060 --> 00:14:46.000 Tywin Kalandyk: or do they hinder me?

136 00:14:46.861 --> 00:14:54.659 Tywin Kalandyk: So different things like this are super important. I remember, you know I was reading. They did a study. They did a Harvard study, and they took 3 groups of people.

137 00:14:54.930 --> 00:14:58.390 Tywin Kalandyk: I don't know if India over there, you guys play any basketball or not. But

138 00:14:58.450 --> 00:15:02.389 Tywin Kalandyk: they did a study of 3 groups of people. We had them shoot free throws

139 00:15:02.590 --> 00:15:07.379 Tywin Kalandyk: one group actually practice every single day and shot free throws

140 00:15:07.450 --> 00:15:13.100 Tywin Kalandyk: the second group of people. They didn't practice at all. The 3rd group of people.

141 00:15:13.410 --> 00:15:23.600 Tywin Kalandyk: They didn't actually, physically practice. They just did mental practice so they would replay themselves shooting free throws in their head. But they didn't actually, physically do it.

142 00:15:23.950 --> 00:15:27.920 Tywin Kalandyk: The 1st group that did actually practice got better

143 00:15:28.250 --> 00:15:31.760 Tywin Kalandyk: the second group that didn't practice at all.

144 00:15:31.970 --> 00:15:34.910 Tywin Kalandyk: They didn't get any better matter of fact, they actually got worse.

145 00:15:35.130 --> 00:15:36.860 Tywin Kalandyk: The 3rd group

146 00:15:36.900 --> 00:15:48.220 Tywin Kalandyk: that only did the mental practice that didn't actually physically practice, they actually improved just as much as the group that actually physically practiced.

147 00:15:48.660 --> 00:16:04.599 Tywin Kalandyk: So that shows like, just how important having your your mindset in alignment with your physical body, because it's your mindset. It's it's it's what happens up here that controls what happens on the outside, anyway.

148 00:16:05.160 --> 00:16:07.220 Avik Chakraborty: Yeah, exactly.

149 00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:10.046 Avik Chakraborty: Oh, so

150 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.600 Avik Chakraborty: what are some of the common myths about? Fitness and

151 00:16:15.760 --> 00:16:20.009 Avik Chakraborty: health? Do you encounter most often, I mean.

152 00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:21.920 Avik Chakraborty: if you can share a bit.

153 00:16:23.170 --> 00:16:25.139 Tywin Kalandyk: Yeah. Oh, man.

154 00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:27.760 Tywin Kalandyk: where to start with this one. There's a bunch

155 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:29.410 Tywin Kalandyk: a big

156 00:16:29.934 --> 00:16:40.269 Tywin Kalandyk: let's start with this one. I think a lot of people think exercise is the answer. And I'm a big exercise guy. I love the gym I love exercising. I think people should exercise.

157 00:16:40.290 --> 00:16:41.470 Tywin Kalandyk: However.

158 00:16:42.070 --> 00:16:49.660 Tywin Kalandyk: that's not the thing that's gonna save the day. And I say that because it's way easier for us to eat less calories

159 00:16:49.770 --> 00:16:52.259 Tywin Kalandyk: than it is for us to burn them off.

160 00:16:52.990 --> 00:16:54.210 Tywin Kalandyk: For example.

161 00:16:54.781 --> 00:17:00.420 Tywin Kalandyk: Let me kind of just give you an example. So in order to burn 500 calories

162 00:17:00.460 --> 00:17:03.030 Tywin Kalandyk: doing physical exercise.

163 00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:06.649 Tywin Kalandyk: you would have to do a thousand burpees

164 00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:07.680 Tywin Kalandyk: right

165 00:17:07.970 --> 00:17:15.950 Tywin Kalandyk: in order to take away 500 calories through food. It's equivalent to roughly, like a big Mac.

166 00:17:16.510 --> 00:17:21.179 Tywin Kalandyk: So would you rather not eat the Big Mac, or would you rather go do a thousand burpees?

167 00:17:21.540 --> 00:17:31.669 Tywin Kalandyk: So I think that's a big misunderstanding in the fitness. Industry is terms of people run to fitness? And they think that's the answer. Does that help? Yes, of course.

168 00:17:31.970 --> 00:17:35.149 Tywin Kalandyk: But I think what you eat is is more.

169 00:17:35.510 --> 00:17:37.499 Tywin Kalandyk: I think, another big thing.

170 00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:39.280 Tywin Kalandyk: Myth is.

171 00:17:39.730 --> 00:17:43.250 Tywin Kalandyk: there's all these fad diets and things people do that

172 00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:45.979 Tywin Kalandyk: try to take things out, whether it's

173 00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:50.200 Tywin Kalandyk: no carbs or no sugar or

174 00:17:50.260 --> 00:17:55.620 Tywin Kalandyk: carnivore, or paleo, or intermittent fasting.

175 00:17:56.260 --> 00:18:01.620 Tywin Kalandyk: You don't have to do all that. It's not necessary if I mean, if you want to, if that fits your lifestyle.

176 00:18:01.780 --> 00:18:05.919 Tywin Kalandyk: But these aren't things you have to do to lose weight. Matter of fact.

177 00:18:05.990 --> 00:18:09.319 Tywin Kalandyk: I think most of the time it distracts people

178 00:18:09.350 --> 00:18:15.109 Tywin Kalandyk: because it's not what they ordinarily do so. Now they have to go learn a new thing.

179 00:18:15.470 --> 00:18:18.330 Tywin Kalandyk: and then not only learn that new thing

180 00:18:18.510 --> 00:18:25.040 Tywin Kalandyk: they have to consistently do this new thing that's odd and weird to them.

181 00:18:25.320 --> 00:18:26.810 Tywin Kalandyk: Instead of

182 00:18:27.590 --> 00:18:30.949 Tywin Kalandyk: continue eating exactly what you're eating.

183 00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:33.140 Tywin Kalandyk: Just eat less of it.

184 00:18:35.990 --> 00:18:37.020 Avik Chakraborty: That's

185 00:18:37.260 --> 00:18:46.819 Avik Chakraborty: that's simply lovely. I'd say, yeah. And also, at the same time for someone who I mean just starting their fitness journey. So

186 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:50.299 Avik Chakraborty: what's the most important piece of advice? Would you give them.

187 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:52.500 Tywin Kalandyk: Sure.

188 00:18:53.226 --> 00:18:54.759 Tywin Kalandyk: Get clear on your goals.

189 00:18:54.810 --> 00:19:04.120 Tywin Kalandyk: Well, let me let me take that back. Now get clear on your goals. Get clear of where you're going in your end. Result. So what do you want?

190 00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:12.479 Tywin Kalandyk: And this is this is the part. Everybody skips as much as I tell people they want to skip this. They're like, yeah, yeah, I got it. I just want to lose weight. No, no, no, no!

191 00:19:12.840 --> 00:19:13.920 Tywin Kalandyk: Sit down.

192 00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:16.439 Tywin Kalandyk: Where do you want to go.

193 00:19:16.520 --> 00:19:21.950 Tywin Kalandyk: What does that look like? Most people say? Oh, I want to lose 30 pounds. Great!

194 00:19:22.080 --> 00:19:24.030 Tywin Kalandyk: Why do you want to lose 30 pounds?

195 00:19:25.070 --> 00:19:27.270 Tywin Kalandyk: How is that going to change your life.

196 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:36.780 Tywin Kalandyk: How is that? How is that gonna impact the future? You 5 years from now, 10 years from now, how is that gonna impact your wife.

197 00:19:37.010 --> 00:19:43.309 Tywin Kalandyk: How will that change your relationship with your kids? And you, you start forming this mental picture

198 00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:48.059 Tywin Kalandyk: around how losing what you thought was just 30 pounds

199 00:19:48.130 --> 00:19:52.379 Tywin Kalandyk: is gonna change everything you start realizing like, Wow.

200 00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:54.349 Tywin Kalandyk: if I lose 30 pounds.

201 00:19:54.520 --> 00:20:13.619 Tywin Kalandyk: I'm gonna have more energy, which is, gonna allow me to be more productive at work, which is, gonna allow me to make more money, which is gonna allow, you know, the intimacy between me and my wife to get greater in in all of these areas now are starting to get better and change. It's not just the 30 pounds.

202 00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:14.310 Avik Chakraborty: Yeah.

203 00:20:14.310 --> 00:20:26.489 Tywin Kalandyk: Now you're excited. Now you're ready to go. Do whatever it takes to lose the weight, because you understand your life is gonna change on a very, very big scale.

204 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:34.099 Tywin Kalandyk: not just on an actual little digital scale that you step on. There's no excitement from that. Nobody gets.

205 00:20:34.420 --> 00:21:02.440 Tywin Kalandyk: There's no excitement that comes from stepping on a scale like we don't have that. But if you knew like, if you go to the gym and eat healthier, your relationship with your wife is gonna hit levels that it's never hit before your relationship with your kids is gonna be better than it's ever been before. You're gonna make more money. People are. Gonna look at you different. You're gonna become a leader like all these different things you're like. Oh, well, then, going to the gym seems like a no brainer. Why wouldn't you do that?

206 00:21:03.280 --> 00:21:04.010 Avik Chakraborty: Yeah.

207 00:21:05.390 --> 00:21:06.660 Avik Chakraborty: love it. Yeah.

208 00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:10.970 Avik Chakraborty: So before we wrap, looking ahead.

209 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:20.540 Avik Chakraborty: what are your goals and the aspirations in the fitness industry? And how do you plan to continue helping people transform their lives.

210 00:21:21.630 --> 00:21:22.870 Tywin Kalandyk: Yeah, absolutely.

211 00:21:23.130 --> 00:21:28.070 Tywin Kalandyk: So for me, you know the reason I got started in this industry, you know. I watched my dad

212 00:21:28.320 --> 00:21:30.980 Tywin Kalandyk: struggle with weight. His whole life.

213 00:21:31.020 --> 00:21:38.379 Tywin Kalandyk: I watched him go from diet to diet, and every time he started a new diet he would be excited at first, st

214 00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:48.290 Tywin Kalandyk: but then the more diets. I seen him try. I started noticing he would lose a little bit of himself every single time he would get discouraged. He would get

215 00:21:49.100 --> 00:21:54.229 Tywin Kalandyk: you could just. You could just see it was draining him, and I think it was just honestly, because he felt like a failure.

216 00:21:54.340 --> 00:21:56.899 Tywin Kalandyk: and to the point where he actually quit

217 00:21:56.910 --> 00:22:00.259 Tywin Kalandyk: and just stop. And he said, This is how it's supposed to be

218 00:22:00.690 --> 00:22:05.579 Tywin Kalandyk: so. At that point I watched him go through the phases of diabetes, high blood pressure.

219 00:22:06.790 --> 00:22:08.150 Tywin Kalandyk: Heart issues.

220 00:22:08.250 --> 00:22:14.139 Tywin Kalandyk: until eventually, you know, he lost his life to this battle of obesity.

221 00:22:14.270 --> 00:22:21.610 Tywin Kalandyk: and from that moment, right there I made a decision that 1st of all, I would be the type of man that I would never do this to my kids.

222 00:22:21.730 --> 00:22:23.980 Tywin Kalandyk: and again cause my dad was my hero.

223 00:22:24.330 --> 00:22:25.680 Tywin Kalandyk: He was my hero.

224 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.450 Tywin Kalandyk: and I lost him when I was 20.

225 00:22:28.530 --> 00:22:31.950 Tywin Kalandyk: I didn't want to do that with my kids, so when I figured this whole thing out.

226 00:22:31.970 --> 00:22:39.070 Tywin Kalandyk: It only felt right, you know, to give that back and show other people what's possible. Show other men what's possible.

227 00:22:39.350 --> 00:22:44.470 Tywin Kalandyk: So why do I do what I do. That's why I do what I do, because I think a lot of people don't understand

228 00:22:44.610 --> 00:22:46.080 Tywin Kalandyk: the hindrance

229 00:22:46.470 --> 00:22:51.160 Tywin Kalandyk: that weight puts on your life. The hindrance that being

230 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:55.540 Tywin Kalandyk: fat puts on your life, not just for you.

231 00:22:55.740 --> 00:22:57.040 Tywin Kalandyk: your family.

232 00:22:57.080 --> 00:22:58.230 Tywin Kalandyk: your wife.

233 00:22:58.320 --> 00:22:59.660 Tywin Kalandyk: your kids.

234 00:23:00.140 --> 00:23:01.470 Tywin Kalandyk: It's not worth it.

235 00:23:01.670 --> 00:23:03.060 Tywin Kalandyk: It's just not worth it.

236 00:23:03.280 --> 00:23:08.620 Tywin Kalandyk: So it's worth it to take those steps. So my goal is to help as many men as I possibly can.

237 00:23:09.192 --> 00:23:13.949 Tywin Kalandyk: Just be released from this burden of dealing with weight, and

238 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:19.149 Tywin Kalandyk: just all the struggles that come with it, and just having them experience

239 00:23:20.010 --> 00:23:24.179 Tywin Kalandyk: what it's like to be an absolutely phenomenal shape.

240 00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:28.560 Tywin Kalandyk: And the beautiful thing is, you know, we have this thing we call the Internet.

241 00:23:28.600 --> 00:23:37.540 Tywin Kalandyk: which allows me to to help and impact people all over the world. It does. They don't have to, you know, before had to be someone that lived local.

242 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:39.260 Tywin Kalandyk: But you know now.

243 00:23:39.645 --> 00:23:41.710 Tywin Kalandyk: I've made friends all over the world.

244 00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:42.690 Avik Chakraborty: And.

245 00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:45.069 Tywin Kalandyk: So it doesn't. I'm I'm no longer

246 00:23:45.220 --> 00:23:51.120 Tywin Kalandyk: limited to just my area. So just my in my goal is to impact as many men as I can around the world.

247 00:23:52.370 --> 00:23:54.650 Avik Chakraborty: Hmm! Perfect, perfect, lovely.
