Setting Boundaries & Me Time for Neurodivergent Minds: A Kinder Path to a Happier You


Feeling guilty for saying no or taking time for yourself? In this episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, autistic advocate Jimmy Clare and health coach Tina Hicks talk about setting healthy boundaries and protecting your “me time” in a way that actually works for autistic and neurodivergent adults.
Tina shares simple, compassionate strategies for saying no with more confidence, noticing when you’re people-pleasing, and carving out small pockets of rest in a busy life. Together, Jimmy and Tina explore how boundaries are not selfish—they are survival tools that help you protect your energy, reduce burnout, and build a life that feels calmer and more balanced.
If you often put everyone else first and end up drained, this episode offers realistic, non-judgy ideas to help you start prioritizing yourself, one small boundary at a time.

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.199
I am so excited to be here and you guys you've
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.439
I know if you're listening to this show that
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.240
you are an incredible person, just like Jimmy
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.699

So that's what we're going to focus on. And just
00:04:26.459 --> 00:04:30.500
like Jimmy, I am also a huge health and wellness
00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:35.319
advocate. And so I believe that it can create
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.319
so much happiness in your life and just creating
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.060
that well -balanced living between, you know,
00:04:43.060 --> 00:04:46.879
we obviously got to do work, but we also got
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.360
to play and we just need to balance out that
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:56.220
work life and just daily routines. Right. And
00:04:56.220 --> 00:04:59.949
so that's what I do. for a living. I'm a coach.
00:05:00.110 --> 00:05:04.269
I help people find their happy again. That's
00:05:04.269 --> 00:05:09.850
wonderful. I know for myself, for the balancing
00:05:09.850 --> 00:05:13.790
life is important because I admit that the last
00:05:13.790 --> 00:05:21.529
two weeks, I was anything but balanced. Let's
00:05:21.529 --> 00:05:25.509
just say I would just go way over my head. And
00:05:25.509 --> 00:05:28.319
I was like, Okay. And it's like, I had my spring
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:33.079
break from college and that was balanced. But
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:38.019
then when I got back, I literally just had, I
00:05:38.019 --> 00:05:40.300
didn't go anywhere for my spring break because
00:05:40.300 --> 00:05:44.699
of the whole pandemic, but all I was just, but
00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:48.480
it just was like, I had many other, I had like
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.279
new projects that just popped up on my to -do
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.680
list and say, love it. Take a week, do some new
00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:01.430
things. I'm so glad. Well, Jimmy, I think he's
00:06:01.430 --> 00:06:06.509
shaking his head no. But I think, I really think
00:06:06.509 --> 00:06:10.069
Jimmy's a lot like me and we like to stay busy,
00:06:10.269 --> 00:06:14.589
but we're really good at saying yes and putting
00:06:14.589 --> 00:06:18.089
a lot on our plate and then going, oh, okay,
00:06:18.230 --> 00:06:23.459
this was. What I plan to do. So hopefully we
00:06:23.459 --> 00:06:27.420
can help people today do a little activity that
00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:30.100
if they're like us, Jimmy, and they just pile
00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:33.519
way too much on their plate that this can give
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:38.430
them. a little bit of that release and taking
00:06:38.430 --> 00:06:41.029
that time, you guys, you have to take time out
00:06:41.029 --> 00:06:43.189
for yourself. Wouldn't you agree, Jimmy? You
00:06:43.189 --> 00:06:47.449
have to. And like one of the things that I've
00:06:47.449 --> 00:06:54.689
done just as of yesterday. I have a tool on my
00:06:54.689 --> 00:06:57.670
computer that is called Cold Turkey Blocker,
00:06:57.689 --> 00:07:01.769
but I also just found a new tool that I'm going
00:07:01.769 --> 00:07:04.449
to use in conjunction with it. It's called Freedom.
00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:10.889
It's not new. It's new to me. This is not an
00:07:10.889 --> 00:07:13.050
advertisement at all. They're not paying me jack
00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:17.250
squats for this. Darn it! Yeah, I know. Come
00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:23.560
on. Come on, Freedom. Send me some money. Anyway,
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:30.740
I get distracted at night before I go to bed
00:07:30.740 --> 00:07:33.839
and I start looking at my stupid emails. I look
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.220
at social media and I know for myself, even though
00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:42.040
I have time limits set up on social media, if
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.100
I don't use all that time, I'm still able to
00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:48.199
go onto that website until that time. And then,
00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:50.860
so I'm like, this is really bad. I was like,
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:56.360
I'm, and so I headed it to, I bought the premium
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.180
version last night of this, of the tool called
00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:03.519
freedom, because this will kick me out. It will
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.779
kick me off right at six o 'clock. And he's like,
00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:09.540
no more, can't do it anymore. That's awesome.
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:14.060
I love it. So freedom is new to you, but Jimmy,
00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:16.620
I haven't heard of it. So apparently I need to
00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:22.000
do that too. I'm just so like, like during my
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.660
spring break, I kid you not. I'm, I'm literally
00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:28.939
like, okay, you know, and I was having fun playing
00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:32.559
video games and watching Netflix. But once it
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.220
was coming down to like last four days or three
00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:37.639
days, I was like. I'm antsy. I want to go do
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.399
something. I forced myself to continue my break.
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.899
But when I got back, I was like, oh, yeah, this
00:08:46.899 --> 00:08:49.539
is really fun. Come back and I got six million
00:08:49.539 --> 00:08:53.200
other things left on my to -do list. It's not
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.539
even left on my to -do list. Hey, here's three
00:08:56.539 --> 00:08:59.700
things that went wrong while you were on your
00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:02.519
break. Oh, I didn't even have people. I don't
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.940
even have people to work with me. And my website
00:09:04.940 --> 00:09:07.440
is like, here's what went wrong for you on your
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.100
website this week. Welcome back. Oh, man. Yay!
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.740
Well, I love you're optimistic. I know. I know
00:09:18.740 --> 00:09:20.919
you're being sarcastic, but we'll say you're
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.860
being optimistic about this to -do list. So,
00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:26.980
Jimmy, how about we go into an activity that
00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:30.860
people can do? to take time out for themselves
00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:34.720
to get a little bit of a happy high. Okay. So
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:39.480
you guys, this is something that typically takes
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.860
me about 30 minutes to do. Now you're going to
00:09:43.860 --> 00:09:48.259
use your own playlist and we are not going to
00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:52.580
do the whole activity together with the music,
00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:55.120
but I want you to be able to write these things
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:58.370
down so you can remember. what you need to do.
00:09:58.450 --> 00:10:04.509
So I created something. Maybe you're at the office
00:10:04.509 --> 00:10:08.149
and you're feeling a little antsy in your chair
00:10:08.149 --> 00:10:10.590
and you just feel like you need some movement
00:10:10.590 --> 00:10:14.029
to get in some of those positive vibes. Thanks
00:10:14.029 --> 00:10:17.809
to our sponsorship with Deep Stash. You're probably
00:10:17.809 --> 00:10:20.649

and like to learn new stuff, I don't always have

time to read 11 -minute articles or 15 -minute
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.360
articles during the day. So with Deep Stash,
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.320

00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:28.360
you know, have limitations as far as walking
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:32.940
and you're sitting a lot or whatever the case
00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:38.580
may be. You can use this activity while sitting.
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.320
So you don't need any special equipment. You
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:46.779
just need you and your music. favorite playlist
00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:50.980
now i will say when you do your playlist you
00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:54.820
definitely want something upbeat it has a nice
00:11:54.820 --> 00:12:00.659
fast beat and you don't want one that's too long
00:12:00.659 --> 00:12:03.080
i promise because when you do these some of these
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.720
exercises you're going to tell yourself is the
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.600
song over yet so i don't want anybody to worry
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.360
about having to count how many reps um i want
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.970
this to just be Super simple and fun to your
00:12:16.970 --> 00:12:20.509
favorite tooth. Now, here we go. Ready, Jimmy?
00:12:20.750 --> 00:12:25.529
Yep. Let's do this. Okay. So think head, shoulders,
00:12:25.649 --> 00:12:28.289
knees, and toes. Remember that song from when
00:12:28.289 --> 00:12:33.870
we were young? So just remember, you're going
00:12:33.870 --> 00:12:37.269
to go work out parts of your body from your head.
00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:40.269
all the way to your toes. And that just kind
00:12:40.269 --> 00:12:43.909
of helps me remember to what comes next. So before
00:12:43.909 --> 00:12:50.490
you do your first song, let's just go into these
00:12:50.490 --> 00:12:53.370
movements again, write it down. And then for
00:12:53.370 --> 00:12:57.450
each movement, you will play one song. So if
00:12:57.450 --> 00:13:00.230
your song is three minutes, you'll do that movement
00:13:00.230 --> 00:13:02.970
for three minutes. Okay, so like I said, it equals
00:13:02.970 --> 00:13:06.460
out to be about 30 minutes. So we start with
00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:10.100
our head. And what you're going to do is just
00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:13.019
do your ear to your shoulder going back and forth.
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.840
Kind of that maybe, maybe. And you just stretch
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.720
out that neck. And you can try it with me, Jimmy.
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.500
We're on video. You guys are on audio. But see,
00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:29.460
it's fun. He's like, Gina, I feel crazy. I'm
00:13:29.460 --> 00:13:31.440
almost flying a creeper, though. Oh, at least
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.759
I think. So that's what you're going to do to
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.980
work out those neck muscles, get out some of
00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:43.019
that strain, okay? Now you'll do that for a whole
00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:47.320
song. So if your beat is fast and you feel like
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.759
it's too fast and you're getting whiplash, then
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:53.179
take it down, you know, and go on that second
00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:56.759
beat, okay? So you go at your own pace. Now,
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.399
for your second song, you're going to go to your
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.080
shoulders. And what you're going to do is lift
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.379
your shoulders all the way to your ears. And
00:14:05.379 --> 00:14:07.899
then you're going to push down your shoulders
00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:10.879
away. So let's try a few of those together. Ready,
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.700
Jimmy? Here we go. Up to our ears. Down. Press
00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:18.240
it down. And feel those muscles. Be very intentional.
00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:22.519
about how you're moving those shoulders. So up
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.879
and just focus on that shoulder muscle and down.
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.580
Okay, so we did it pretty slow. But again, if
00:14:29.580 --> 00:14:32.100
you have a fast tube, oh, you're gonna start
00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:35.340
feeling it once that beat goes, okay? So now
00:14:35.340 --> 00:14:38.539
we go to our elbows. And this one, you're going
00:14:38.539 --> 00:14:42.259
to put your hands like a prey, like your palms
00:14:42.259 --> 00:14:44.840
together, like you're praying, right? Okay, so
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.059
we're gonna do that. Now you're going to stick
00:14:47.059 --> 00:14:50.450
your... elbows together so your hands are touching
00:14:50.450 --> 00:14:53.429
like you're clapping your hands and your elbows
00:14:53.429 --> 00:14:56.429
are touching and then you're going to push out
00:14:56.429 --> 00:15:00.429
your elbows while your hands remain stuck together
00:15:00.429 --> 00:15:04.730
and then press your elbows together okay so it's
00:15:04.730 --> 00:15:08.750
out elbows out elbows touch and remember the
00:15:08.750 --> 00:15:10.870
hands stay together and let's do a few of those
00:15:10.870 --> 00:15:15.139
so out together out Together. Now, Jimmy and
00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:18.000
I both work out. Jimmy, do you feel this? Yep.
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:24.200
Good. All right. So that was the third one. Now
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:27.659
we're going to go down to our hands. And this
00:15:27.659 --> 00:15:30.539
one is one that you'll see a lot of people doing
00:15:30.539 --> 00:15:33.779
with a stress ball, right? So I want you to imagine
00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:37.740
that you have stress balls in your hands and
00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:40.779
you're just going to squeeze till you have a
00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:44.679
nice tight fist. and release and you're going
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.379
to do that to your next song to the beat ready
00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:52.039
jimmy let's try a few ready yeah so grip grip
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:58.220
grip grip grip okay now we're going to go to
00:15:58.220 --> 00:16:04.059
um our chest so if you have something in front
00:16:04.059 --> 00:16:06.779
of you like i have a desk in front of me you'll
00:16:06.779 --> 00:16:09.480
place your hands on the desk and you'll push
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.799
your chest forward and push back almost Just
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.480
like you're doing a push -up, right? Now, let's
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.120
say you're in a chair and you don't have any
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:20.919
objects in front of you. I just want you to cross
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.799
your arms over your chest, almost like you're
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.639
giving yourself a hug, and then go forward and
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.340
back, forward and back. And remember, focus on
00:16:32.340 --> 00:16:34.820
the chest. We're not doing a crunch. We're going
00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:37.700
to get to the stomach. So just focus on that
00:16:37.700 --> 00:16:41.480
chest, front and back with a nice tall spine.
00:16:42.059 --> 00:16:47.139
Okay, now we're going to go to our abs. And we're
00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:50.159
just simply doing a breathing technique. So we're
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.980
going to go in, breathe in through your mouth
00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:56.559
and out through your mouth. But when you're breathing,
00:16:56.740 --> 00:17:00.720
I want you to pull in your stomach. So almost
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.320
like your belly button goes to your back. So
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:05.619
here we go, breathe in. And then I want you to
00:17:05.619 --> 00:17:10.299
push out all the air so that your stomach expands
00:17:10.299 --> 00:17:14.180
like a big balloon. And then pull it in and out.
00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:17.700
And go to that V. And you are going to start
00:17:17.700 --> 00:17:21.079
feeling those muscles working right away. Now
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:26.279
we're going to go to our cedar. Our gluteus maximus.
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.619
There we go. So you're going to squeeze your
00:17:29.619 --> 00:17:33.339
glute and release. And if you have a fast tune,
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.160
whee! You're going to feel that you are going
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:39.619
to get bones of steel. That is your next song.
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.119
You just squeeze and release, squeeze and release.
00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:47.579
Okay. Now your upper thighs. Okay. We're actually
00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:52.119
going to work the interior and the exterior of
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.680
that thigh muscle. Okay. So if you're in like
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:01.869
maybe a recliner. Just use the motion that you
00:18:01.869 --> 00:18:05.230
can use. The goal is just like when we did the
00:18:05.230 --> 00:18:09.730
prayer hands and we did elbows in and out. Same
00:18:09.730 --> 00:18:13.369
thing with our legs, except our knees go out
00:18:13.369 --> 00:18:17.329
and they squeeze together. So when you push out,
00:18:17.589 --> 00:18:19.910
you're going to resist. You're going to be working
00:18:19.910 --> 00:18:22.170
that outer thigh. And then when you come in,
00:18:22.349 --> 00:18:25.109
you're going to squeeze and work that inner thigh.
00:18:25.630 --> 00:18:27.529
Okay, so here we go. Let's try it. Are you ready?
00:18:27.630 --> 00:18:34.349
Out and in, out and in, out and in. Okay, that's
00:18:34.349 --> 00:18:37.769
all you do. Now we're going to work our feet.
00:18:37.890 --> 00:18:42.869
And this is the last two moves. This one, you
00:18:42.869 --> 00:18:47.690
may be a bit cramping if you're doing the fast
00:18:47.690 --> 00:18:51.349
beat. So again, listen to your body. If you need
00:18:51.349 --> 00:18:55.369
to stop, stop and slow it down. If you can do
00:18:55.369 --> 00:18:57.750
it fast, go fast. But this is going to work that
00:18:57.750 --> 00:19:01.549
calf muscle on this first one. So here we go.
00:19:02.089 --> 00:19:06.190
So your toes are almost pretty much, it's like
00:19:06.190 --> 00:19:08.450
your feet are flexed, right? And then you're
00:19:08.450 --> 00:19:11.410
going to point your toes down. So you're going
00:19:11.410 --> 00:19:15.569
to push down your heel, point your toes up. Now,
00:19:15.589 --> 00:19:18.109
if your feet, if you're in a chair and your feet
00:19:18.109 --> 00:19:20.730
can touch the ground, all you're doing is lifting
00:19:20.730 --> 00:19:23.210
your heels off the ground and pushing them back
00:19:23.210 --> 00:19:26.210
into the ground. So you lift heels, go down.
00:19:26.829 --> 00:19:29.950
Heels, go down. Now, if you're in that chair,
00:19:30.089 --> 00:19:33.970
though, that's when you need to visualize and
00:19:33.970 --> 00:19:37.869
make those heels pop up and then flex out those
00:19:37.869 --> 00:19:41.730
toes. Heels, pop. Heels, pop. Does that make
00:19:41.730 --> 00:19:43.809
sense? I know it's kind of hard when you can't
00:19:43.809 --> 00:19:45.990
see me. I could put my feet up and Jimmy could
00:19:45.990 --> 00:19:52.109
see my feet. Now, the last one is your heels.
00:19:52.670 --> 00:19:55.089
are going to be planted so even if you're on
00:19:55.089 --> 00:19:57.349
a recliner or you're down on the ground your
00:19:57.349 --> 00:20:00.589
heels dig into the ground and all you're going
00:20:00.589 --> 00:20:04.150
to do the internet can be in a distraction place
00:20:04.150 --> 00:20:08.690
it's full of distractions like social media shopping
00:20:08.690 --> 00:20:12.750
and so many more websites that are very distracting
00:20:12.750 --> 00:20:17.549
just like video games and whatnot but it is all
00:20:17.549 --> 00:20:20.900
over the place so much noise going on well With
00:20:20.900 --> 00:20:24.440
a blocker tool like Freedom Blocker, it can block
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.380
all those distraction websites that you find
00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:33.559
distracting. I block RuneScape, Facebook, Twitter,
00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:36.859
and all the social media marketing tools. Without
00:20:36.859 --> 00:20:41.359
Freedom Blocker, I wouldn't be able to run crazyfitnessguy
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.240
.com because I'd be distracted all day long.
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.880

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:15.380
opinion because... It keeps my water nice, cold,
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.319
and refreshing throughout the day. And yes, I
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:20.319
do drink a lot of water throughout the day. So
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:24.640
even though it stays colder for longer, I still
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:30.500
like having a reusable water bottle like Hydroflex
00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:37.289
because it just sits on my desk. It just sits
00:23:37.289 --> 00:23:39.690
on my desk and reminds me, hey, you got to drink
00:23:39.690 --> 00:23:44.450
water. And Hydro Flask, it keeps it cold longer,
00:23:44.609 --> 00:23:47.990
which makes me want to drink more water throughout
00:23:47.990 --> 00:23:51.410
the day because, you know, there's nothing worse
00:23:51.410 --> 00:23:56.170
than drinking warm water. Go to hydroflask .com
00:23:56.170 --> 00:24:00.490
and use the link in the show notes. And yes,
00:24:00.609 --> 00:24:04.470
I do get a small commission from Hydro Flask.
00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:09.319
which also helps support the show. So tell them
00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:12.900
I sent you. Here's the link below. And yeah,
00:24:13.059 --> 00:24:16.019
check out Hydroflask .com for more information.
00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:22.880
Work those shins, okay? So your toes pull back.
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.660
They point forward. Pull back, forward, back,
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.160
forward. Do a few of those. Do you feel that?
00:24:29.619 --> 00:24:33.559
Yep. Yeah, do you feel good? Point as hard as
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:35.980
you can. flexes hard and you got your favorite
00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:39.220
tunes going, you can see how you're going to
00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:43.460
start feeling that burn. And after that, you
00:24:43.460 --> 00:24:47.119
did your workout for today. And I want everybody
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.759
to be proud of themselves. I get a lot of people,
00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:52.500
Jimmy, that work with me that say, I can't do
00:24:52.500 --> 00:24:55.859
this or that. Maybe you can't do every single
00:24:55.859 --> 00:24:59.859
one of those activities, but do at least one.
00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:03.920
Make the most of your TV watching. Just like
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.779
when I used to teach dance, I would tell my dancers,
00:25:06.859 --> 00:25:10.539
practice your splits while you watch TV. Make
00:25:10.539 --> 00:25:14.559
something more of that TV moment because I know
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.160
we all get that in. Well, I did know someone
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:20.200
once that didn't have a TV, but that is rare.
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:29.859
Jimmy's face. How is that possible? I know. I
00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:35.680
used to die, but I didn't have a TV. So you never
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:37.799
know. But I'm pretty sure most people get in
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:42.480
their TV time. So make it a goal to do something
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:46.180
active while you do that TV. It will make your
00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:49.359
body feel energized. Jimmy, how does your body
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:52.319
feel? Just from that little bit we did. Energized.
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:58.559
Energized. Boom. Well, thank you, Jimmy. I have
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:00.920
loved being on your show. Do you have any other
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.769
questions before we? Head out? Yeah, I was wondering,
00:26:04.910 --> 00:26:10.190
how did you come up with all of that? Okay, so
00:26:10.190 --> 00:26:15.509
I have a little secret, and I don't recommend
00:26:15.509 --> 00:26:19.990
this because it's probably not safe, so you didn't
00:26:19.990 --> 00:26:25.190
hear it here. But I used to drive a lot, and
00:26:25.190 --> 00:26:30.960
I just... I needed to move. I get antsy four
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:35.700
hour drives that I was on. And so I just I needed
00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:38.859
to stay awake. I needed to stay alert. And it
00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:41.259
just kind of came to me that I could do certain
00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:45.140
movements while just being there. Now, you didn't
00:26:45.140 --> 00:26:47.099
hear that from me because I don't want anybody
00:26:47.099 --> 00:26:50.660
going out there and doing this. And I don't want
00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:52.880
to get pulled over. You know, Jimmy, my husband
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:58.150
works for Highway Patrol. So I'm pretty sure
00:26:58.150 --> 00:27:01.630
he does not approve of my Tina exercise in the
00:27:01.630 --> 00:27:07.369
car. Did anybody ever look at you in the car
00:27:07.369 --> 00:27:10.750
like, who's this lady doing this? I know. They
00:27:10.750 --> 00:27:13.049
probably do that anyway. Because anytime I drive,
00:27:13.190 --> 00:27:16.289
I'm singing. Do you ever see those people while
00:27:16.289 --> 00:27:18.230
you're driving and their head's just going everywhere
00:27:18.230 --> 00:27:20.430
and they're just like a rock star? That's me.
00:27:20.849 --> 00:27:23.630
I don't even care what people think. I'm just
00:27:23.630 --> 00:27:31.680
like. move along I'm in my groove so yeah that's
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.240
that's just how I came up with it so obviously
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.220
I had to modify those moves because you can't
00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:43.160
do um exactly that way you know so like where
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:46.180
your hands come together my hands would be on
00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:48.720
the steering wheel and I wouldn't do the same
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.359
range of motion it's just smaller ranges of motion
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.299
but I feel like I'm getting you know, something
00:27:55.299 --> 00:27:58.460
out of it. That's better than sitting in a car.
00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:01.640
I know. And if you're in the passenger seat,
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.140
totally do it. Totally do it. Yeah, just don't
00:28:05.140 --> 00:28:08.160
distract the driver. Yeah, yeah, and don't walk
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:11.339
the driver with your own lowers. Yeah, sit in
00:28:11.339 --> 00:28:16.940
the back. Yeah, sit in the back. Nice distance.
00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:23.450
Six foot distance. That's right. Or the Tina
00:28:23.450 --> 00:28:28.670
moves. Or a 12 foot distance, maybe. There you
00:28:28.670 --> 00:28:34.569
go. All the way in the trunk, please. Yes. Well,
00:28:34.630 --> 00:28:37.269
thank you, Jimmy. It's been a blast. I love being
00:28:37.269 --> 00:28:40.269
on your show and hopefully we could do this again
00:28:40.269 --> 00:28:44.690
sometime. Definitely. Yeah. We'll have a wonderful
00:28:44.690 --> 00:28:48.490
day. And if anybody wants to. See me do some
00:28:48.490 --> 00:28:51.230
more crazy dance moves. They can follow me on
00:28:51.230 --> 00:28:54.349
Jolt of Energy. That's where I am on Facebook,
00:28:54.450 --> 00:28:58.490
on Instagram, my website, all of it is Jolt of
00:28:58.490 --> 00:29:02.049
Energy, my podcast, everything. At least that's
00:29:02.049 --> 00:29:05.269
consistent because I've seen people on social
00:29:05.269 --> 00:29:09.529
media where they have some branded stuff, but
00:29:09.529 --> 00:29:14.569
then it's like they put their brand name on their
00:29:14.569 --> 00:29:17.269
Instagram, but then for the username, it has,
00:29:17.690 --> 00:29:21.250
No idea whatsoever. I was like, two of them are
00:29:21.250 --> 00:29:25.650
not related. Two of these are not like the other.
00:29:25.789 --> 00:29:28.130
One of these is not like the other. Is that how
00:29:28.130 --> 00:29:32.230
it goes? Yeah, exactly. It's like, I like it.
00:29:32.390 --> 00:29:35.470
And it's like, oh, it might be, I don't know,
00:29:35.670 --> 00:29:38.430
John Smith. And then it'd be like John Smith,
00:29:38.630 --> 00:29:41.329
five, two, six, seven, eight or something like,
00:29:41.470 --> 00:29:46.349
okay. The other one was taken. That's what it
00:29:46.349 --> 00:29:49.190
is, Jimmy. Yeah, well, then come up with another
00:29:49.190 --> 00:29:52.490
username besides with numbers and it doesn't
00:29:52.490 --> 00:29:56.990
work. Well, it's pretty easy. Jump to energy,
00:29:57.210 --> 00:30:01.049
you'll find T -Nex. Thanks for being on Crazy

00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:43.259
blog posts. Hydroflask is the best water bottle
00:30:43.259 --> 00:30:46.559
in my opinion because it keeps my water nice
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:50.000
and cold and refreshing throughout the day. And
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:51.779
yes, I do drink a lot of water throughout the
00:30:51.779 --> 00:30:55.400
day, so even though it stays colder for longer,
00:30:55.599 --> 00:31:01.680
I still like having a reusable water bottle like
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:05.849
Hydroflask. because it just sits on my desk,
00:31:05.930 --> 00:31:11.009
and it just sits on my desk and reminds me, hey,
00:31:11.210 --> 00:31:15.390
you've got to drink water. And Hydro Flask, it
00:31:15.390 --> 00:31:18.910
keeps it cold longer, which makes me want to
00:31:18.910 --> 00:31:20.970
drink more water throughout the day, because,
00:31:20.990 --> 00:31:24.230
you know, there's nothing worse than drinking
00:31:24.230 --> 00:31:30.140
warm water. Go to hydroflask .com. And use the
00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:33.700
link in the show notes. And yes, I do get a small
00:31:33.700 --> 00:31:39.180
commission from Hydroflask, which also helps
00:31:39.180 --> 00:31:42.240
support the show. So tell them I sent you. Use
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:46.579
