so just jumping right in you know sports

38
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:21,360
has always been sports and athletics and

39
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:22,960
staying fit has always been a big part

40
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,439
of my life from from growing up whether

41
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:27,119
it was playing on the farm or once i got

42
00:01:30,070 --> 00:01:28,240
into

43
00:01:32,469 --> 00:01:30,080
middle school and high school of playing

44
00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:32,479
on sports teams and then that i was very

45
00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:34,479
uh fortunate to be able to continue that

46
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:35,840
into

47
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:37,360
college and and being able to play

48
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:39,200
football at the university of illinois

49
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,400
and then from there i just it kept with

50
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:44,479
me and so even throughout my career in

51
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:45,680
the air force

52
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:46,960
working out and staying fit and

53
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,200
participating on intramural teams was

54
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:51,439
was always important and then i got this

55
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:53,280
wonderful opportunity to come to nasa

56
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:55,600
and be an astronaut and and lo and

57
00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:57,520
behold physical fitness is a huge part

58
00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:01,119
of of our training and and what we do as

59
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:01,920
well

60
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:03,920
and so um

61
00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:06,320
so i'm just very excited to be able to

62
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:08,319
share that that love and that passion of

63
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:10,959
fitness and and how it applies to being

64
00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:13,200
an astronaut in life in space and and

65
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:14,480
and hopefully

66
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:17,040
get other people motivated about fitness

67
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:19,040
as well and and maybe a little motivated

68
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,400
about space

69
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:22,480
so this is great just earlier today we

70
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:24,239
kicked off um the train like an

71
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:25,920
astronaut program which is actually part

72
00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:28,160
of the white house let's move campaign

73
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:29,920
so sam maybe you want to talk a little

74
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:32,400
more about that initiative which also

75
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:35,599
strives to encourage kids to be active

76
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,959
uh you know everybody wants to train

77
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:38,560
like an astronaut right

78
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:41,200
uh no better way to train so uh thanks

79
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,640
for having me we're so excited to be

80
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,720
here today um you know our physical

81
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,560
fitness is one of the

82
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:48,480
greatest indicators of our health and

83
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:50,080
the lack of physical activity in our

84
00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:51,680
daily lives is

85
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:54,239
you know has been a real uh taking a

86
00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:55,680
real toll on the health and well-being

87
00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:58,319
of our of our children and so the first

88
00:03:01,990 --> 00:02:59,920
lady's really calling everybody coming

89
00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:02,000
together uniting around our kids health

90
00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:03,200
and well-being and sure they're getting

91
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:04,879
the healthy food that they need

92
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:07,280
and the activity that they need to

93
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:09,280
to thrive and hopefully

94
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:11,920
one day become an astronaut and and

95
00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:13,360
we're seeing great progress we've

96
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:15,519
launched a lot of programs in in schools

97
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:17,120
let's go back to schools program to

98
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,800
really make sure our schools are

99
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:21,200
facilitating kids being active

100
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:22,800
but we know we got to get our kids

101
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:25,440
moving i'm a lifelong athlete and

102
00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:27,280
so i've seen it in my life we see it in

103
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:30,159
kids across the country about what not

104
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:32,000
just athletics but also just being

105
00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:33,599
active can do

106
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:34,799
not only for their physical health but

107
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:36,400
also their mental and we know that our

108
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:39,280
kids perform better on math tests and

109
00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:40,400
reading comprehensions if they're

110
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:42,159
getting the activity that they need

111
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:44,000
so i'm so excited to be here i can't

112
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:45,280
wait to your questions and ask some

113
00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:46,799
questions i will say i have to admit

114
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:48,799
that i have a savings account that one

115
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,200
day hopefully will get me to outer space

116
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,200
it's my greatest dream

117
00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:55,360
in life and so i don't know maybe if you

118
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:57,439
got an extra seat i could uh hop on

119
00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:59,040
board for your next mission i'll work

120
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:01,120
out i'll do whatever you want me to do

121
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:04,400
uh but yeah it's great to be here

122
00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:05,760
maybe we should have added that as an

123
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:06,959
incentive for the train like an

124
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:09,439
astronaut program free ride the soyuz is

125
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:11,280
pretty tight

126
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:12,720
there's not a lot of extra room in it

127
00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,560
even for the three of us that that are

128
00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:16,239
planned to go up so i'm not sure if we

129
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:18,000
can find room for you on this one but

130
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:19,759
maybe in the future when we have some

131
00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:21,680
commercial vehicles going up there'll be

132
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:22,960
an opportunity

133
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,040
all right all right i'll work out i'll

134
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:27,280
train like an astronaut until then that

135
00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,639
sounds great

136
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:30,479
um so you touched on a couple points i

137
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:32,320
know peter you also i think are very

138
00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:34,800
athletic and childhood obesity has been

139
00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:36,560
kind of a special issue for you too you

140
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,080
kind of focused on that earlier in your

141
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:40,000
career maybe you could jump in and talk

142
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:41,520
a little bit about that as well hey i

143
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,440
want to address something first though

144
00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:45,440
sam katz told us that his dream was

145
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:48,080
always to be in men's health magazine uh

146
00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:49,600
rather than about how he wanted to go

147
00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:50,960
into skype

148
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:52,240
so i don't know what the heck is with

149
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:55,360
that sam i'm a little offended

150
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,120
but he did a great job we also had this

151
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,680
guy in the magazine not bad

152
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:01,120
talking about health care which was

153
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,479
pretty awesome

154
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,320
but yeah i've done a lot of work on

155
00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:06,800
childhood obesity uh in men's health in

156
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:09,039
part because about half of the guys who

157
00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:11,280
subscribe to men's health their dads and

158
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:13,520
you know we really are uh in kind of an

159
00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:15,759
unprecedented moment in the health of

160
00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:17,680
our kids right now because so many of

161
00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:19,919
the adult diseases that we think of as

162
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:21,199
you know the things that will catch us

163
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,400
when we're

164
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:25,039
75 and 80 are actually affecting you

165
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:28,000
know kids in their early teens um

166
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:29,919
you know they used to call um

167
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:33,280
type 2 diabetes adult onset diabetes

168
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:35,440
because you had to be an adult basically

169
00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:36,960
to reach the point in your life where

170
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:40,080
you could develop the uh the symptoms uh

171
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:41,840
they don't do that anymore the adult

172
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:44,880
onset thing has uh has gone away now now

173
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:47,120
we call it type 2 diabetes because so

174
00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:50,000
many kids are suffering from it um you

175
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:51,759
know i don't want to be a big downer

176
00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:52,400
here

177
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,800
in fact the rates of obesity have

178
00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:56,560
leveled off now it shows we're doing

179
00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:59,120
some good work as a culture but clearly

180
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:00,639
there's a lot more work that needs to be

181
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:02,960
done and you know the first ladies uh

182
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:05,520
let's move program is a great part of

183
00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:07,520
that but i guess that you know

184
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:10,720
the last thing i would say is that

185
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,759
really you know weight is a family issue

186
00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:15,680
it's not a matter of pointing fingers at

187
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:16,800
kids and saying you know it looks like

188
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:18,160
you're putting on a few you've got to

189
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:19,440
take care of that

190
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:21,680
really what's going to happen is that if

191
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:24,000
if moms and dads and kids and families

192
00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:25,840
work on this stuff together both the

193
00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:28,319
food aspect and the exercise aspect

194
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:29,759
that's where the real progress is going

195
00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:32,240
to be made and really who among us you

196
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:35,199
know parents or kids uh can't afford to

197
00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:37,680
uh you know do a little bit better do a

198
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:39,520
little bit more eat a little better and

199
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:41,199
you know that's why i really applaud

200
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:43,759
what the first lady is doing and and uh

201
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:45,199
and probably sam's doing most of the

202
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:47,360
work on that right sam

203
00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:49,360
you know i'm uh i'm i'm pulling my

204
00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:50,479
weight but

205
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,720
i couldn't agree with the

206
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:54,400
more with what you said and this is

207
00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:56,000
something that we have to address in the

208
00:07:00,390 --> 00:06:58,880
context of the entire family um and

209
00:07:02,309 --> 00:07:00,400
ensure that the family is getting the

210
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:02,319
supports that they need to make the best

211
00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:04,720
choices so uh the stakes are high for

212
00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:06,960
our country but um i'm optimistic that

213
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:08,400
we're on the right we're on the right

214
00:07:10,870 --> 00:07:09,280
track

215
00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,880
hey sam i don't know if this is an out

216
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:12,240
of bounds question but i'll go ahead and

217
00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:13,280
ask it

218
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:14,960
do you get a sense that the that the

219
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:17,919
first family as busy as they are and you

220
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:19,520
know jetting around the world and all

221
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:21,840
the stuff that they have i mean do those

222
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:24,400
obama girls have time to to work out too

223
00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:26,080
are they are they following dad's

224
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:27,039
example

225
00:07:32,230 --> 00:07:29,919
oh absolutely one thing in this family

226
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:32,240
is that you know they they practice what

227
00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:35,199
they preach uh both from what we eat to

228
00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:36,319
you know making sure we're getting

229
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:38,800
plenty of activity uh you know the first

230
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:42,240
lady we balance my plate style meals uh

231
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:44,560
and uh but it's all about moderation so

232
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:45,360
that

233
00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:47,440
after you know if you have a you know

234
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:48,720
cheeseburger once in a while there's

235
00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:50,240
some pizza it's no big deal but day in

236
00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:51,360
and day out we're having fruits and

237
00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:53,199
vegetables and whole grains lean protein

238
00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,240
etc and yes they're they those girls get

239
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:58,319
plenty of exercise uh doing all kinds of

240
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:00,960
different activities in sports and so no

241
00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:03,440
there's no question uh they're walking

242
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:04,639
the walk

243
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,560
yeah i'm wondering now sasha is the

244
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:08,400
older girl right

245
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:10,240
malia is the older girl okay so last

246
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:11,759
time i saw a picture of malia she looked

247
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:13,360
like she's about as tall as her dad does

248
00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:16,080
she have a lefty layup like he does

249
00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:18,080
uh you know i can't i i'm not going to

250
00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:20,000
compare the layups i'm you know there's

251
00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:22,000
nothing good in that for me but uh but

252
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:23,759
yeah they're a talented family all the

253
00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:26,400
way around

254
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:28,160
cool

255
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,000
okay well watching

256
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,159
we managed to not have the nba player on

257
00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:34,000
here but i think we've got the whole

258
00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:35,519
full suite of other athletes so i want

259
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:38,080
to definitely uh bring them in and

260
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:39,599
speaking of diets i was kind of

261
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,440
reviewing rich your background and i

262
00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:43,360
think you were pretty open about um

263
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:44,560
you're really lucky you don't really

264
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:47,440
stick to a strict diet regimen you have

265
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:48,720
the privilege of being able to eat what

266
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:50,080
you want can you talk to us a little bit

267
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,000
about um the training you're in right

268
00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:54,480
now and how you keep healthy and fit

269
00:08:58,389 --> 00:08:56,480
yeah so you know we talk a lot about in

270
00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:58,399
crossfit either the paleo diet which is

271
00:09:01,350 --> 00:08:59,360
a more

272
00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:01,360
uh naturalistic type diet or the zone

273
00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:03,200
diet where you you balance your insulin

274
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,279
spikes but uh with the amount of

275
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,880
training volume and stuff that i'm doing

276
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:08,640
especially right now

277
00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:11,040
calories or calories and uh you know the

278
00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:13,920
end of the day i'm probably putting in

279
00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:15,519
uh right about

280
00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:17,760
six or seven hours of training and then

281
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:19,839
uh leading up to the game starts next

282
00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:21,279
week actually so

283
00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:23,600
uh we show up on monday and uh we don't

284
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,519
really know what the first event or

285
00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:27,600
really when the first event is so

286
00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:29,360
you just kind of gotta gotta hope you

287
00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:30,959
get a little enough energy from the food

288
00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:33,519
that you've taken in so um but you know

289
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:35,120
for health reasons and

290
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:37,920
when i'm uh done competing uh you know

291
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:40,240
there's the what we call a paleo diet or

292
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:42,240
you know a more minimalist diet where

293
00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:44,080
you're eating whole foods versus

294
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,640
processed stuff um for health reasons is

295
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:48,880
definitely beneficial

296
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,560
gotcha so rich i think a lot of us out

297
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:52,720
here are jealous of uh

298
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:54,880
of your ability to eat whatever you want

299
00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:56,720
that uh man i wish i could do that i

300
00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:57,920
haven't been able to do that since i was

301
00:10:00,630 --> 00:09:58,959
playing football but i certainly

302
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:00,640
recognized that all that time you're

303
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:02,560
putting out in the gym and all that is a

304
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:05,200
big reason for that so uh you know i do

305
00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:06,800
want to say as well good luck next week

306
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,800
i know it's a big week for you and i

307
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:10,720
hope all the best for you thank you very

308
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:12,800
much yeah and a lot of people get caught

309
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:14,800
up in well rich eats whatever he wants

310
00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:16,560
but there's a lot of work that goes into

311
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,880
it's not just you know and as much as i

312
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:20,880
say i eat as much as i want to

313
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,200
throughout the day

314
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:25,200
i'm usually taking in protein shakes and

315
00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:27,440
stuff like that versus actual meals and

316
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:29,279
then at night you know to catch up on

317
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:31,760
calories really and it's still i try to

318
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:33,519
eat as healthy as possible you know i

319
00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:35,680
take in good fats for energy and stuff

320
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,279
like that i'm not just eating ice cream

321

that's amazing he's doing something

332
00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:01,600
right

333
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:04,079
well speaking of um being in active

334
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:07,040
training i know rachel and kurt likewise

335
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:08,720
and and even jared you're getting ready

336
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:10,079
for the upcoming football season maybe

337
00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:11,920
you guys can jump in and talk about your

338
00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:13,440
training and how much diet plays into

339
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:15,440
that

340
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:17,440
uh yeah i'll uh i'll jump right in on

341
00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:19,040
that a little bit um i also played

342
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,480
college football in nebraska actually

343
00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:22,720
just like jared did and mike i know you

344
00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:24,480
said he played in illinois too

345
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:26,959
yeah i'm feeling a little outnumbered

346
00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:29,040
uh i started boxlighting this is my 10th

347
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:31,360
year at bobsley so i really have been an

348
00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:32,800
athlete for quite a while and i've seen

349
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:35,040
how my diet has had to change in order

350
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:38,000
to maintain uh my top level of

351
00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:39,760
apprentices you know like when i was in

352
00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:41,440
college you know i'm not sure how old

353
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:42,800
you are rich i guess but you know i

354
00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:44,800
could eat anything i wanted and i could

355
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:46,560
stay pretty active that way

356
00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:49,760
but at age about 24 26 um i haven't

357
00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:50,880
taken out a little bit smaller i

358
00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:52,720
couldn't eat as much you know it took me

359
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:53,920
a little bit longer to recover from

360
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:55,920
workouts and that sort of thing so i

361
00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:58,480
think as males at least as we age as

362
00:12:01,670 --> 00:12:00,480
athletes and uh try to stay fit i think

363
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:01,680
our diet

364
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:03,680
changes and kurt i'm sorry to interrupt

365
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:05,440
i'm i'm hearing from our technical folks

366
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:06,720
the audio is a little bad if you could

367
00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:08,480
just speak a little louder but we still

368
00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:10,800
want to hear from

369
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:12,639
okay i can try it again i don't know if

370
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:14,480
this is any better that sounds better

371
00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:17,440
already yeah okay thank you

372
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:19,360
um i was saying that i played college

373
00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:20,880
football as well at nebraska just like

374
00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:22,839
jared did and

375
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:25,200
um you know when i was in college i

376
00:12:28,550 --> 00:12:27,040
could eat anything i wanted as well and

377
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:28,560
uh rich i'm not sure how old you are i

378
00:12:33,269 --> 00:12:31,680
guess but uh you know about age 23 24 i

379
00:12:35,829 --> 00:12:33,279
really learned that my my appetite

380
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:35,839
changed quite a bit my diet had had to

381
00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:38,000
be altered in order to maintain the top

382
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:39,920
level of fitness uh it probably changed

383
00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:42,079
again when i got to about age 28 29 and

384
00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:43,839
i'm not thirsty

385
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,240
too so i think it's it's a key point to

386
00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:48,160
mention that you know as you age you

387
00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:49,680
know you try to stay fit you know your

388
00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:51,680
diet will change you know sometimes you

389
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:53,279
can you know down six seven thousand

390
00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:54,800
calories a day and be able to stay fit

391
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:56,399
but when you get a little bit older your

392
00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:58,160
body doesn't react the same type of way

393
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:02,550
and i think probably a lot of it also is

394
00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:03,760
just the nature of the food you're

395
00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,839
eating like rich was saying whole foods

396
00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:07,279
better you know better quality food

397
00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:09,360
versus some of the lesser rachel you

398
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:10,959
want to chime in we'd love to hear from

399
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:12,560
you as well

400
00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:14,720
well i'm currently a student at stanford

401
00:13:18,629 --> 00:13:16,800
university so uh

402
00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:18,639
and right i'm sure you're quite familiar

403
00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:20,320
with it

404
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:21,200
but

405
00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:24,000
you know i i really do try and keep an

406
00:13:28,389 --> 00:13:25,360
active lifestyle especially when i'm

407
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,399
training uh and spending some very late

408
00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:31,040
nights doing homework um but you know i

409
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:33,440
do my best to keep a normal eating and

410
00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:35,920
training regimen as i'm training for

411
00:13:39,190 --> 00:13:37,519
competitions

412
00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:39,200
especially with the rigors of my

413
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:42,000
academic career so uh you know making

414
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:43,120
that

415
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:48,480
every day can be quite challenging at

416
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:50,639
times but you know you do your best to

417
00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:52,800
make sure that you're giving your body

418
00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:54,480
what it needs at the end of the day so

419
00:14:01,110 --> 00:13:56,800
you can recover and train for the you

420
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:02,870
and what are you studying at stanford

421
00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:04,880
i'm curious and kurt i think you have a

422
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:06,959
degree in astronomy right or maybe

423
00:14:10,790 --> 00:14:08,560
that's jared i'm

424
00:14:12,550 --> 00:14:10,800
somebody else's i have a minor in

425
00:14:15,350 --> 00:14:12,560
astrophysics my degree is in electrical

426
00:14:18,389 --> 00:14:15,360
engineering so excellent

427
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:18,399
pretty yeah okay gotcha and i'm doing a

428
00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:21,120
majoring in biology um planning to be a

429
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:23,279
medical student and going to

430
00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:26,160
pediatric orthopedics

431
00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,639
wow that's great

432
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:30,399
sorry mike not going to be an astronaut

433
00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:32,320
even though i'd love to mike that's my

434
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:34,079
cousin's goal though

435
00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:36,240
maybe not yet we have doctors and

436
00:14:39,910 --> 00:14:38,000
biologists and that's right a few

437
00:14:42,230 --> 00:14:39,920
engineers so and and to be honest i've

438
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:42,240
always dreamed of being an olympian so

439
00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:43,760
i'm very jealous of what you two are

440
00:14:52,069 --> 00:14:49,269
okay well i would love to turn it over

441
00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:52,079
to um jared who's um also here in

442
00:14:56,790 --> 00:14:54,480
houston and part of our local nfl team

443
00:14:59,430 --> 00:14:56,800
with the houston texans so jared thanks

444
00:15:02,230 --> 00:14:59,440
for joining us thank you um the one

445
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:02,240
thing i'll add about nutrition um it's a

446
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:03,279
little different for me being a

447
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:05,040
defensive lineman i got to keep weight

448
00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:07,760
on uh opposed to losing it and down here

449
00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:09,199
in the houston heat

450
00:15:12,949 --> 00:15:10,639
the biggest thing for me is you know

451
00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:12,959
staying hydrated um you know i drink

452
00:15:18,389 --> 00:15:16,240
upwards to about 12 uh maybe 13 14

453
00:15:21,189 --> 00:15:18,399
ounces or glasses of water a day

454
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:21,199
just to keep up and uh for me eating um

455
00:15:25,269 --> 00:15:23,120
you know i got to eat a lot to keep my

456
00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:25,279
energy up with this heat it'll drain you

457
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:27,199
and you know going into fall camp right

458
00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:28,880
now the biggest thing is going to be

459
00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:30,240
keeping my energy up keeping the

460
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:32,079
nutrients in and replenishing after

461
00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:33,600
every practice like i said before the

462
00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:36,320
heat it's something else down here so uh

463
00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:38,320
nutrition definitely plays a crucial

464
00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,199
role in what i do yeah

465
00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:43,600
so i think it's also really important in

466
00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:45,279
space flight if i remember correctly a

467
00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,639
lot of people experience a little bit of

468
00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:48,399
weight loss don't eat as much i don't

469
00:15:51,509 --> 00:15:50,480
know about drinking in space but

470
00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:51,519
is that something they've talked to you

471
00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:52,959
about to get ready for the mission like

472
00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:54,800
how do they prepare you for that you

473
00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:56,560
know i'm sure mark can can talk a little

474
00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:58,880
bit on this as well but uh anecdotally

475
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:01,199
i've certainly heard that sometimes your

476
00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:04,000
your appetite does change you uh you

477
00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:07,040
maybe don't eat quite as much as as

478
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:09,199
you're used to or you normally do um

479
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:10,480
some of that can have you know

480
00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:12,399
particularly in those first few uh that

481
00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:14,720
first few weeks when you're adapting to

482
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:16,399
life in space you may not just feel

483
00:16:21,910 --> 00:16:19,040
great as well and so that might curb

484
00:16:23,910 --> 00:16:21,920
your appetite a little bit um and but

485
00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:23,920
the fortunate thing is we've got a food

486
00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:26,079
lab here and nutritionists that are very

487
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:28,160
concerned about our diet and so we're

488
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:30,399
very lucky because uh they they put

489
00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:32,560
together our menu i don't have to i

490
00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:33,920
really think a lot about what i'm going

491
00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:34,800
to eat

492
00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:36,320
there's there's something there for me

493
00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:38,880
that that i'm sure i'll like as well i

494
00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:40,079
don't know mark if you have anything

495
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:42,240
that on how much weight guys lose when

496
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:43,680
they first get up there

497
00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:45,440
uh we

498
00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:47,040
we usually see about an eight to ten

499
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:49,600
pound loss uh sometimes and then usually

500
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:50,880
by the end of the mission they've gained

501
00:16:54,870 --> 00:16:51,920
that back

502
00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:54,880
um and like mike said it usually changes

503
00:16:58,629 --> 00:16:56,720
at the beginning they kind of lose

504
00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:58,639
appetite but as it moves on they're

505
00:17:02,870 --> 00:17:00,560
eating most of the time more calories

506
00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:02,880
than they are down here because you are

507
00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:04,720
actually they act they are more active

508
00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:06,319
up there they're up more more hours

509
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:07,919
during the day doing more work so they

510
00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:09,760
stay pretty active yeah so

511
00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:11,120
actually jerry i'm just kind of curious

512
00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:13,679
if i ask a question here for jared um

513
00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:15,199
you know how much weight are you

514
00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:17,760
typically losing in a two-a-day practice

515
00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:19,919
in in august in houston

516
00:17:22,390 --> 00:17:21,120
oh well

517
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:22,400
my

518
00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:24,880
most i've lost is a about 10 pounds in

519
00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:27,120
one day and that was you know after

520
00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:29,120
drinking during the practice and you

521
00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:31,440
know staying as hydrated as i could but

522
00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:33,440
mostly about 10 pounds but usually it's

523
00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:35,039
on average about five and that's for

524
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:37,679
everybody um you know it's just the

525
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:38,960
amount of water that you lose in a

526
00:17:42,789 --> 00:17:40,960
practice it's hard to keep up and you

527
00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:42,799
really can't replace what you lose

528
00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:44,720
during the practice so it's crucial you

529
00:17:47,750 --> 00:17:46,400
know after the practice to get in your

530
00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:47,760
you know your supplements and as well as

531
00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:48,960
rehydrate

532
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:49,840
yeah

533
00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:51,520
rich do you find the same thing during

534
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:53,440
the the competitions with uh with

535
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:55,520
crossfit that you you really have to try

536
00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:57,919
and keep your uh your intake up while

537
00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:00,480
you're competing to be honest uh

538
00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:02,400
training here in tennessee is a little

539
00:18:05,750 --> 00:18:03,840
bit different than training california

540
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:05,760
when i actually compete at the games

541
00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:07,679
uh the humidity is miserable in

542
00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:09,440
tennessee so when you go to california

543
00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:12,320
it's hot but it's not anything near the

544
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:15,679
the same heat as it is back home so my

545
00:18:19,029 --> 00:18:17,520
hardest part is training leading up to

546
00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:19,039
the game just trying to stay hydrated

547
00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:20,320
trying to get out of the heat every once

548
00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:22,000
in a while when i can because it's i

549
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:23,600
mean it's just muggy and i sweat like

550
00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,240
crazy anyway it's you know i i can lose

551
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,480
uh three to four pounds in a workout and

552
00:18:31,669 --> 00:18:30,080
my workouts aren't two to three hours

553
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:31,679
like his are so

554
00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:33,760
it uh it all depends

555
00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:35,039
yeah

556
00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:36,160
all right

557
00:18:40,630 --> 00:18:38,480
hey mike i have a question for you um

558
00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:40,640
are you familiar with uh an astronaut

559
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:42,720
named sunita williams

560
00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:44,480
uh absolutely

561
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:46,320
well i don't know if all the people who

562
00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:49,520
are watching know that she famously ran

563
00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:52,640
a boston marathon on a treadmill

564
00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:54,720
finished it in four hours and 20 minutes

565
00:18:59,510 --> 00:18:57,120
well i think she was orbiting the earth

566
00:19:01,990 --> 00:18:59,520
i i wonder uh mike if you have any plans

567
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:02,000
to to show sunita up and maybe do a

568
00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:04,080
triple iron man or something up there

569
00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:05,360
yeah well

570
00:19:09,029 --> 00:19:07,360
i don't think you can uh show sonny up

571
00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:09,039
she's uh she's a pretty incredible

572
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:11,360
person a pretty incredible uh runner in

573
00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:12,880
her own right

574
00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:15,200
you know i was actually hoping that uh

575
00:19:18,789 --> 00:19:16,960
i'd have an opportunity to maybe compete

576
00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:18,799
in the in the crossfit games from on

577
00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:20,160
orbit

578
00:19:23,190 --> 00:19:21,919
unfortunately the timing's

579
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:23,200
not going to work out real well i don't

580
00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:25,200
get up there till september and as rich

581
00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:26,640
said they're they're competing next week

582
00:19:30,710 --> 00:19:27,760
in that so

583
00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:32,310
well and i may just try and do some of

584
00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:35,360
that uh the open workouts where

585
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:37,440
they they put out an exercise in their

586
00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:39,600
uh routine and work out of the day and

587
00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:42,480
and you film that so we'll see

588
00:19:45,270 --> 00:19:43,520
yeah you know

589
00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:45,280
the follow-up question that i had you

590
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:46,400
know i've been reading about what kind

591
00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:48,080
of workouts you guys do up there once

592
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:50,240
you're in orbit and i'm seeing that you

593
00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:52,400
know it's actually built into your you

594
00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:54,240
know your work duties for the day and

595
00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:56,480
then you can be exercising two to four

596
00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:57,919
hours while you're up there to fight

597
00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:00,559
that muscle loss that inevitably happens

598
00:20:04,630 --> 00:20:01,840
you know i guess what i'm really

599
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:04,640
wondering is how you fight boredom

600
00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:06,799
as a as an exerciser when you're doing

601
00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:09,520
it you know two hours a day i i do it

602
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:11,520
because i i tend to play a lot of sports

603
00:20:15,029 --> 00:20:12,960
so you're interested in the game and

604
00:20:16,630 --> 00:20:15,039
that keeps you motivated i wonder how

605
00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:16,640
you uh make it through a two-hour

606
00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:18,320
workout

607
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:21,200
yeah so um you know the nice thing about

608
00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:23,200
working out on orbit is you actually are

609
00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:24,880
in orbit so you're floating around and

610
00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:27,120
so i think that that in itself probably

611
00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:28,799
uh relieves a little bit of the boredom

612
00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:31,200
and then the other amazing thing is the

613
00:20:36,390 --> 00:20:33,440
the arab which is our adaptive resistive

614
00:20:37,510 --> 00:20:36,400
exercise device so that's our squat rack

615
00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:37,520
it definitely looks a little bit

616
00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:39,360
different but it accomplishes a lot of

617
00:20:42,149 --> 00:20:40,480
the same

618
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:42,159
exercises for us

619
00:20:46,470 --> 00:20:43,919
but uh when you're on that you're

620
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:46,480
actually right over the cupola and so

621
00:20:50,470 --> 00:20:48,799
you've got the the earth floating by

622
00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:50,480
underneath you as as you're doing a

623
00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:52,640
squat or a deadlift so probably the

624
00:20:56,789 --> 00:20:54,240
hardest part is going to be not hurting

625
00:20:59,190 --> 00:20:56,799
myself by getting distracted as uh as

626
00:21:01,190 --> 00:20:59,200
the earth's going by

627
00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:01,200
well you be careful all right i'll do

628
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:03,360
that

629
00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:05,200
i i actually have a question if you

630
00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:08,640
don't mind no uh for rachel i'm curious

631
00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:10,799
uh i haven't followed be honest figure

632
00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:12,480
skating very much but i'm curious how

633
00:21:17,350 --> 00:21:14,880
much strength training do figure skaters

634
00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:17,360
actually do

635
00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:20,000
well most gators tend to avoid doing a

636
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:23,039
lot of major strength training just to

637
00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:24,640
ensure that they don't bulk up because

638
00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:26,480
in skating you know you really want to

639
00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:28,720
keep a lean fit body

640
00:21:32,070 --> 00:21:30,880
so a lot of us will do like yoga and

641
00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:32,080
pilates

642
00:21:36,789 --> 00:21:34,320
i actually i work out here over the otc

643
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:36,799
but you do a lot of body mass exercises

644
00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:39,520
so you use your own body mass to uh work

645
00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:40,640
on you know

646
00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:42,559
treating your muscles and

647
00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:44,000
doing all those sorts of things and

648
00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:45,280
especially with regards to

649
00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:48,080
cardiovascular training we do our best

650
00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:50,320
to do uh you know to do a lot of

651
00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:52,640
anaerobic training earlier in the season

652
00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:55,840
um a lot of aerobic training um

653
00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:58,640
prior to that in our preseason so um

654
00:22:01,430 --> 00:22:00,159
it's you know it's quite a bit of work

655
00:22:03,190 --> 00:22:01,440
but it is you know a little bit

656
00:22:05,029 --> 00:22:03,200
different from what some of the athletes

657
00:22:06,789 --> 00:22:05,039
might do like from what kirk does in the

658
00:22:08,549 --> 00:22:06,799
weight room every day feels like

659
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:08,559
incredible strength training for bobsled

660
00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:09,840
i can tell you that

661
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:10,880
yeah

662
00:22:16,789 --> 00:22:14,320
different from rachel where i'm doing a

663
00:22:19,029 --> 00:22:16,799
lot of resistant training squats cleans

664
00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:19,039
um resistance sprints you know anything

665
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:20,880
to get stronger and faster and bulk up

666
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:23,360
and they put on mass without

667
00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:26,480
hurting our aerodynamics of our sled so

668
00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:28,480
most of my work is resistance work and

669
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:29,840
so it's really interesting to hear about

670
00:22:32,630 --> 00:22:30,559
the

671
00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:32,640
adaptive resistance

672
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:34,480
mechanism that you guys use up in space

673
00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:35,280
but

674
00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:38,480
i also want to ask mike and mark

675
00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:39,600
you know rachel and i are training here

676
00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:41,600
in colorado springs we're about at 6 000

677
00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:43,919
feet and uh you know my sport is all

678
00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:45,919
about power uh short bursts of power and

679
00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:48,240
so my endurance is very low you know if

680
00:22:52,830 --> 00:22:50,480
you ask me to run 200 meter dash i'd

681
00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:52,840
probably pass out but i can run 50

682
00:22:56,870 --> 00:22:55,280
meters you know so the

683
00:22:58,230 --> 00:22:56,880
you know training at altitude you know

684
00:22:59,669 --> 00:22:58,240
affects athletes in different ways so

685
00:23:01,029 --> 00:22:59,679
i'm just kind of curious you know when

686
00:23:03,029 --> 00:23:01,039
you're up in space and you're training

687
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:03,039
and that sort of thing i understand that

688
00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:04,960
you know it is pressurized up there and

689
00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:06,240
everything but you know about what

690
00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:08,400
altitude you know can you compare

691
00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:10,240
being inside the space station or

692
00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:12,480
wherever you are with uh you know what

693
00:23:19,110 --> 00:23:17,830
yeah that's that's an excellent question

694
00:23:20,549 --> 00:23:19,120
and uh

695
00:23:22,070 --> 00:23:20,559
the the altitude that we're at is

696
00:23:24,310 --> 00:23:22,080
basically where we're sitting right now

697
00:23:28,070 --> 00:23:24,320
so uh it's it's sea level we're at about

698
00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:28,080
uh 14.7 psi so that's

699
00:23:31,190 --> 00:23:29,760
kind of the standard now i like your

700
00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:31,200
idea though i hadn't thought about that

701
00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:32,880
of maybe changing the pressure in this

702
00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:34,880
in the station so that we can

703
00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:36,960
train like we're up at 6 000 feet i

704
00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:38,480
don't know if i can get the engineers to

705
00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:40,080
go with that that's uh that's a neat

706
00:23:42,789 --> 00:23:41,840
idea maybe you want to be careful with

707
00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:42,799
that one

708
00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:49,029
hey i actually i have a question for uh

709
00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:51,039
for her i'm just

710
00:23:56,149 --> 00:23:53,760
one of the things i've noticed from my

711
00:23:58,470 --> 00:23:56,159
time playing football at illinois which

712
00:24:00,310 --> 00:23:58,480
was back in the late 80s early 90s and i

713
00:24:02,470 --> 00:24:00,320
know you're about a decade after me but

714
00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:02,480
i've seen a huge change

715
00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:05,440
in uh in the way we worked out back then

716
00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:07,840
to to what we're doing now and i think

717
00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:09,760
what i see rich doing et cetera where

718
00:24:12,950 --> 00:24:11,039
there's uh

719
00:24:14,230 --> 00:24:12,960
um a little bit you know when i was when

720
00:24:17,350 --> 00:24:14,240
i was training in illinois a lot of

721
00:24:19,350 --> 00:24:17,360
weights um and uh and then running was

722
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,360
kind of a separate activity as well we

723
00:24:23,669 --> 00:24:21,600
didn't combine those as much as what i i

724
00:24:25,029 --> 00:24:23,679
feel like i see now in in this crossfit

725
00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:25,039
so i'm just curious for you kurt have

726
00:24:28,470 --> 00:24:26,559
you noticed that change from when you

727
00:24:30,950 --> 00:24:28,480
were playing at nebraska and

728
00:24:34,149 --> 00:24:30,960
and uh and how that's

729
00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:34,159
evolved i guess over the last 20 years

730
00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:36,080
um possibly you know you say i came a

731
00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:37,600
decade after you and i think jared's

732
00:24:41,110 --> 00:24:39,440
close to a decade after me so he might

733
00:24:43,029 --> 00:24:41,120
be able to add more to this after i'm

734
00:24:44,710 --> 00:24:43,039
done here but um yeah when i was in

735
00:24:45,909 --> 00:24:44,720
college you know there was a great

736
00:24:48,230 --> 00:24:45,919
strength and commissioning program at

737
00:24:51,029 --> 00:24:48,240
nebraska under boyd eppley and uh you

738
00:24:52,710 --> 00:24:51,039
know i learned a lot um and mostly you

739
00:24:54,310 --> 00:24:52,720
know i would say

740
00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:54,320
probably over half of our conditioning

741
00:24:57,750 --> 00:24:56,080
was not in the weight room and with the

742
00:24:59,590 --> 00:24:57,760
running workouts as compared to just

743
00:25:00,950 --> 00:24:59,600
with football practice it was a great

744
00:25:02,870 --> 00:25:00,960
balance of winter conditioning and

745
00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:02,880
summer conditioning in between fall

746
00:25:06,710 --> 00:25:05,120
football and spring football so year

747
00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:06,720
round you know there was a lot of

748
00:25:10,149 --> 00:25:07,840
workouts

749
00:25:12,070 --> 00:25:10,159
they were continually doing research you

750
00:25:14,390 --> 00:25:12,080
know trying to find better ways and you

751
00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:14,400
know different ways to you know adapt to

752
00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:15,760
different athletes because you know each

753
00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:17,840
athlete each position you know require

754
00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:20,400
different types of workouts so um you

755
00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:21,360
know it was

756
00:25:24,549 --> 00:25:23,120
a lot like bobsled training that i do

757
00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:24,559
now where it's you know building up

758
00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:26,720
strength and power for you know big

759
00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:30,080
bursts of energy but uh yeah i think it

760
00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:35,190
hey as long as we're doing the curt and

761
00:25:39,510 --> 00:25:36,960
rachel show here

762
00:25:41,909 --> 00:25:39,520
i have a a uh a question for the two of

763
00:25:43,909 --> 00:25:41,919
you like you both have very different

764
00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:43,919
you know sports uh rachel's obviously in

765
00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:46,640
a finesse sport curtain a power sport

766
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:48,159
but i think that one of the things that

767
00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:49,840
you guys would both have to deal with is

768
00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:52,080
fear in that both of your sports in

769
00:25:56,870 --> 00:25:54,720
their own way are are pretty dangerous

770
00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:56,880
actually i mean do you guys

771
00:26:00,310 --> 00:25:58,640
pay attention to mental training in

772
00:26:01,990 --> 00:26:00,320
addition to your physical training as

773
00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:02,000
you know as you as you look at these

774
00:26:09,029 --> 00:26:04,799
enormously difficult uh tasks that you

775
00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:12,310
absolutely you know uh mental training

776
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:15,440
is hugely important to what we do

777
00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:16,960
especially when we get on the olympic

778
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:19,120
stage you know we've trained so hard at

779
00:26:24,310 --> 00:26:22,320
that point um and it's all muscle memory

780
00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:24,320
but it really comes down to the mental

781
00:26:29,430 --> 00:26:27,520
game and if you can prepare yourself to

782
00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:29,440
the point where you can perform under

783
00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:31,760
any amount of pressure in any situation

784
00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:34,000
and really be flexible with that so

785
00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:36,240
for me uh you know that involves a lot

786
00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,720
of visualization and

787
00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:40,799
and doing a lot of simulations and

788
00:26:45,830 --> 00:26:43,360
practice before i do the competition to

789
00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:45,840
ensure that i really feel prepared prior

790
00:26:52,950 --> 00:26:51,190
i guess conversely to what rachel does i

791
00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:52,960
think our mental training is to train

792
00:26:57,269 --> 00:26:55,200
ourselves not to think um you know if

793
00:26:59,029 --> 00:26:57,279
you think about what you're doing going

794
00:27:00,630 --> 00:26:59,039
80 90 miles per hour you know on the

795
00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:00,640
edge of out of control you know that's

796
00:27:04,549 --> 00:27:02,400
when you can't let the mental side of

797
00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:04,559
things creep in and cause negative

798
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:06,159
thoughts and you don't want that at all

799
00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:08,000
so the less you can think about what

800
00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:09,279
you're going to do

801
00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:11,600
maybe the better um but you know at the

802
00:27:14,470 --> 00:27:13,200
same time uh

803
00:27:16,789 --> 00:27:14,480
you know that's what makes our sport

804
00:27:18,149 --> 00:27:16,799
exciting is that there is that fear and

805
00:27:20,390 --> 00:27:18,159
uh you know if you can overcome that

806
00:27:22,630 --> 00:27:20,400
fear that adrenaline rush every time

807
00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:22,640
that's that's what makes it fun in a way

808
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:23,520
i guess

809
00:27:27,430 --> 00:27:25,120
okay in that case kurt i withdraw the

810
00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:27,440
question yeah

811
00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:28,880
actually while we're talking about the

812
00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:30,960
mental parts i'm just curious for like

813
00:27:36,310 --> 00:27:33,360
jared for example if you had any major

814
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:36,320
injuries in your in your career

815
00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:38,000
and you know you talk about that mental

816
00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:40,320
piece i uh just a couple years ago blew

817
00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:42,640
out my first acl that's the first major

818
00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:44,320
knee injury that i had

819
00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:46,640
and i have to say that one of the

820
00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:48,640
hardest parts was mentally coming back

821
00:27:54,789 --> 00:27:51,120
from that and and being confident

822
00:27:56,710 --> 00:27:54,799
um in my in my knees in my joints to

823
00:27:58,870 --> 00:27:56,720
continue working out i don't know jared

824
00:28:01,029 --> 00:27:58,880
if you had any of those experiences

825
00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:01,039
actually i have uh i had my senior year

826
00:28:04,710 --> 00:28:03,440
of college cut short i uh i had tore my

827
00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:04,720
pec muscle

828
00:28:08,389 --> 00:28:06,799
and that sat me out for the entire year

829
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:08,399
um and like you said about the mental

830
00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:11,200
part um you know just just uh

831
00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:12,320
wondering if you're going to come back

832
00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:14,880
100 that was the biggest thing for me

833
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:17,039
it seemed like recovery took forever i

834
00:28:19,909 --> 00:28:18,640
wasn't going fast enough i wasn't sure

835
00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:19,919
if my strength was going to be backed or

836
00:28:23,990 --> 00:28:21,840
it was and uh you know it took a while

837
00:28:25,510 --> 00:28:24,000
for me to trust in my uh my arm again

838
00:28:27,430 --> 00:28:25,520
and it took probably

839
00:28:29,430 --> 00:28:27,440
uh somewhere mid you know season last

840
00:28:30,789 --> 00:28:29,440
year until i finally felt okay it's not

841
00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:30,799
going to tear again it's you know it's

842
00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:32,480
back to where it was i can go full board

843
00:28:35,350 --> 00:28:33,600
again

844
00:28:43,190 --> 00:28:35,360
yeah we'll wait to your uh way to your

845
00:28:47,990 --> 00:28:45,510
for team nasa i'm curious to know like

846
00:28:49,430 --> 00:28:48,000
in the training you know to go you know

847
00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:49,440
to outer space

848
00:28:53,669 --> 00:28:51,600
is there anything different in

849
00:28:55,029 --> 00:28:53,679
that you specifically trained for that

850
00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:55,039
would be different than say any of the

851
00:28:58,230 --> 00:28:55,919
other

852
00:28:59,669 --> 00:28:58,240
uh sort of just basic differences in how

853
00:29:01,350 --> 00:28:59,679
folks are training for their different

854
00:29:02,389 --> 00:29:01,360
sports but are there particular things

855
00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:02,399
about

856
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:04,080
being in outer space that either you

857
00:29:08,149 --> 00:29:06,000
know that you're doing preparing you

858
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:08,159
know on planet earth or once you get out

859
00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:10,559
there that you have to be extra aware of

860
00:29:13,990 --> 00:29:12,320
that like when i'm in the gym i would

861
00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:14,000
never even think of

862
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:16,640
yeah i'll take the first cut at that and

863
00:29:19,029 --> 00:29:18,000
then i'll turn it over to mark cause i

864
00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:19,039
know he's gonna be able to get a little

865
00:29:23,190 --> 00:29:21,760
bit more specific on it but uh one of

866
00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:23,200
the things that we do here on earth and

867
00:29:26,950 --> 00:29:24,960
we have to spend time training on is the

868
00:29:29,909 --> 00:29:26,960
actual equipment that we have on orbit

869
00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:29,919
and understand how to use it

870
00:29:33,990 --> 00:29:31,840
and because there are limitations to it

871
00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:34,000
and it's it's very critical

872
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:36,080
to our space flight

873
00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:38,240
and to our own health and so we want to

874
00:29:41,669 --> 00:29:39,520
make sure we're using it in the right

875
00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:41,679
ways and when we don't break it and all

876
00:29:45,190 --> 00:29:43,440
of those kind of things because if those

877
00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:45,200
pieces of equipment go down that's a bad

878
00:29:49,110 --> 00:29:47,360
day on station and that takes

879
00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:49,120
maybe the toilet would take priority if

880
00:29:52,630 --> 00:29:50,399
it broke but

881
00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:52,640
when when the a-rack goes down

882
00:29:56,549 --> 00:29:54,559
you're jumping on that to make sure that

883
00:29:58,630 --> 00:29:56,559
you get it fixed so a lot of the

884
00:30:01,029 --> 00:29:58,640
training that we do on the ground is

885
00:30:03,269 --> 00:30:01,039
going to mirror the types of exercises

886
00:30:04,389 --> 00:30:03,279
that we're able to do up on orbit and

887
00:30:06,389 --> 00:30:04,399
mark i don't know if you want to add to

888
00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:06,399
that a little bit yeah the only thing i

889
00:30:10,149 --> 00:30:08,480
would i would add is that

890
00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:10,159
one of the things that we deal with in

891
00:30:13,350 --> 00:30:11,760
space flight that we don't normally deal

892
00:30:15,909 --> 00:30:13,360
with in a one year we don't think about

893
00:30:16,870 --> 00:30:15,919
it much is bone loss bone loss in space

894
00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:16,880
is

895
00:30:19,990 --> 00:30:18,960
accelerated we see about one percent a

896
00:30:20,789 --> 00:30:20,000
month

897
00:30:22,710 --> 00:30:20,799
so

898
00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:22,720
what we try to do with the resistive

899
00:30:26,310 --> 00:30:24,880
exercise device is mitigate as much of

900
00:30:28,230 --> 00:30:26,320
that as we can and we do that by

901
00:30:30,149 --> 00:30:28,240
manipulating the volume

902
00:30:31,669 --> 00:30:30,159
the the weight that the astronauts

903
00:30:33,430 --> 00:30:31,679
actually lifting the changing of

904
00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:33,440
exercises every day it's something

905
00:30:37,190 --> 00:30:35,679
different and we're trying to basically

906
00:30:39,190 --> 00:30:37,200
is for simple as to try to trick the

907
00:30:41,110 --> 00:30:39,200
body into thinking that it doesn't know

908
00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:41,120
what stimulus is coming and it never has

909
00:30:43,669 --> 00:30:42,880
a time to adapt to any one particular

910
00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:43,679
thing

911
00:30:49,510 --> 00:30:47,520
a little bit different in flight other

912
00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:49,520
than that we the loss of strength in

913
00:30:52,230 --> 00:30:50,960
aerobic we do the same things we're

914
00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:52,240
going to train aerobically to grain

915
00:30:55,029 --> 00:30:53,520
cardiovascular fitness and we're going

916
00:30:57,430 --> 00:30:55,039
to train strength to gain muscle

917
00:31:00,310 --> 00:30:57,440
strength and muscle endurance and power

918
00:31:04,870 --> 00:31:00,320
so no it's pretty much the same

919
00:31:06,389 --> 00:31:04,880
you just described crossfit yeah

920
00:31:08,310 --> 00:31:06,399
yeah it's actually interesting to say

921
00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:08,320
that risk is a lot of uh

922
00:31:12,789 --> 00:31:10,880
a lot of what we are doing now involves

923
00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:12,799
workout of the days and involves uh

924
00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:14,880
exercises that

925
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:17,200
i guess are are doing more than again

926
00:31:21,190 --> 00:31:19,679
like when i was was playing football you

927
00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:21,200
know you just lifted weights now you're

928
00:31:25,029 --> 00:31:22,399
doing

929
00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:25,039
this whole host of exercises in a row in

930
00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:27,360
20 minutes doing as many as you can

931
00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:29,360
and that's certainly been something new

932
00:31:34,149 --> 00:31:32,480
for me and it gets your heart rate going

933
00:31:37,110 --> 00:31:34,159
but can you help me understand how that

934
00:31:38,549 --> 00:31:37,120
works without gravity

935
00:31:40,389 --> 00:31:38,559
how what works

936
00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:40,399
you know how like i assume that like the

937
00:31:43,830 --> 00:31:42,320
fact that there's no gravity would have

938
00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:43,840
an impact on

939
00:31:47,190 --> 00:31:45,360
you know what kind of exercises are in

940
00:31:49,750 --> 00:31:47,200
play like what is what would crossfit

941
00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:49,760
look like if you're floating well it's

942
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:51,360
not well in flight is going to be

943
00:31:54,549 --> 00:31:52,880
different i we haven't decided what

944
00:31:56,389 --> 00:31:54,559
we're going to do with that yet but

945
00:31:58,789 --> 00:31:56,399
we're still go we're still going to

946
00:32:00,710 --> 00:31:58,799
focus on the main activities that are

947
00:32:01,909 --> 00:32:00,720
the main exercises which for us are

948
00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:01,919
squats

949
00:32:06,870 --> 00:32:04,720
in in many different forms dead lifting

950
00:32:08,710 --> 00:32:06,880
in many different forms pressing

951
00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:08,720
shoulder press push pre that kind of

952
00:32:12,630 --> 00:32:10,880
stuff all these things we can still do

953
00:32:14,870 --> 00:32:12,640
those in flight with the resistive

954
00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:14,880
exercise device it's going to be how we

955
00:32:19,669 --> 00:32:17,279
put those together with running on the

956
00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:19,679
treadmill at the same time and and

957
00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:21,120
moving over and doing something else

958
00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:22,159
that's where it's going to get a little

959
00:32:25,029 --> 00:32:23,600
tricky we haven't kind of figured that

960
00:32:27,029 --> 00:32:25,039
out yet we have a little bit of time to

961
00:32:28,389 --> 00:32:27,039
work on that yeah but we'll see that

962
00:32:29,669 --> 00:32:28,399
sounds tricky

963
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:29,679
yeah sam because actually one of the

964
00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:31,120
things that happens

965
00:32:34,470 --> 00:32:32,880
there's a little more overhead

966
00:32:36,549 --> 00:32:34,480
associated with getting on the treadmill

967
00:32:38,470 --> 00:32:36,559
for example so it's not like i can can

968
00:32:40,389 --> 00:32:38,480
sit there and do

969
00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:40,399
some deadlifts and then just float over

970
00:32:43,750 --> 00:32:42,240
to the treadmill and start running i

971
00:32:46,470 --> 00:32:43,760
actually have to put on a harness i have

972
00:32:48,789 --> 00:32:46,480
to strap myself into the treadmill and

973
00:32:50,549 --> 00:32:48,799
and so that in itself is going to take

974
00:32:52,549 --> 00:32:50,559
away from some of the benefits of the

975
00:32:54,070 --> 00:32:52,559
things that rich is doing where you know

976
00:32:55,669 --> 00:32:54,080
he's he's doing

977
00:32:57,509 --> 00:32:55,679
20 pull-ups and then immediately jumping

978
00:32:59,269 --> 00:32:57,519
down and doing burpees and then running

979
00:33:00,870 --> 00:32:59,279
or you know all these kind of things and

980
00:33:03,269 --> 00:33:00,880
it's a little harder for us to do that

981
00:33:05,430 --> 00:33:03,279
in the zero gravity and better

982
00:33:07,430 --> 00:33:05,440
yeah i think this is all a lesson to the

983
00:33:09,990 --> 00:33:07,440
rest of us who don't have to strap on an

984
00:33:12,470 --> 00:33:10,000
apparatus to get our weightlifting and

985
00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:12,480
we can just do the work you know here on

986
00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:13,360
earth

987
00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:14,960
none of us has that much of an excuse

988
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:17,840
for not doing it uh we just have to make

989
00:33:21,190 --> 00:33:19,440
make sure we organize our days to take

990
00:33:22,789 --> 00:33:21,200
care of it

991
00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:22,799
well but you know essentially you said

992
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:24,080
because we we certainly don't have an

993
00:33:28,710 --> 00:33:25,760
excuse in orbit either because they put

994
00:33:30,710 --> 00:33:28,720
it on our schedule and

995
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:30,720
part of the paycheck right that's part

996
00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:32,320
of the paycheck yeah actually that's one

997
00:33:35,830 --> 00:33:34,000
of the great things about it in fact uh

998
00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:35,840
most of us here on this on this panel

999
00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:37,519
right i mean can you ask for anything

1000
00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:39,120
better where you actually get paid to uh

1001
00:33:48,389 --> 00:33:46,789
sorry no no um i was just going to jump

1002
00:33:49,590 --> 00:33:48,399
in because we did solicit some questions

1003
00:33:51,269 --> 00:33:49,600
by twitter so i was going to just throw

1004
00:33:54,549 --> 00:33:51,279
in a couple of those real quick

1005
00:33:57,509 --> 00:33:54,559
um so one is from at willow19

1006
00:33:59,029 --> 00:33:57,519
1988 who asked is it about is it all

1007
00:34:01,590 --> 00:33:59,039
about balance or is it to do with

1008
00:34:04,830 --> 00:34:01,600
packing on muscle before space flight as

1009
00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:04,840
muscle mass is affected in

1010
00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:07,760
space uh yeah so i certainly wouldn't

1011
00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:10,560
say it's packing on muscle um not trying

1012
00:34:14,310 --> 00:34:12,320
to do that it's it's a balanced approach

1013
00:34:16,470 --> 00:34:14,320
it's uh much like uh

1014
00:34:17,909 --> 00:34:16,480
the cross more the crossfit style of

1015
00:34:20,230 --> 00:34:17,919
workouts

1016
00:34:22,149 --> 00:34:20,240
i i would say what we do is we look at

1017
00:34:24,389 --> 00:34:22,159
from a training perspective we look at

1018
00:34:26,790 --> 00:34:24,399
each individual astronaut and we take

1019
00:34:28,470 --> 00:34:26,800
away strengths and weaknesses and we're

1020
00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:28,480
going to focus on weaknesses a little

1021
00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:30,240
bit more in their training and the

1022
00:34:33,510 --> 00:34:31,679
strengths we're not going to emphasize

1023
00:34:35,349 --> 00:34:33,520
as much so we try to get much more

1024
00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:35,359
balanced approach through strength

1025
00:34:39,669 --> 00:34:37,280
endurance power

1026
00:34:41,829 --> 00:34:39,679
anaerobic aerobic fitness agility

1027
00:34:44,149 --> 00:34:41,839
coordination any you throw out anything

1028
00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:44,159
dealing with athletics we're gonna we're

1029
00:34:46,710 --> 00:34:45,520
gonna try to make it as balanced as we

1030
00:34:48,550 --> 00:34:46,720
possibly can

1031
00:34:49,990 --> 00:34:48,560
and another probably an important part

1032
00:34:51,109 --> 00:34:50,000
is what's going to happen what that crew

1033
00:34:53,190 --> 00:34:51,119
member is going to need to do during

1034
00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:53,200
mission because for instance if it's a

1035
00:34:55,829 --> 00:34:54,320
crew member who's going to be doing

1036
00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:55,839
space walks there might be different

1037
00:34:59,349 --> 00:34:57,200
workouts i know especially for the

1038
00:35:00,630 --> 00:34:59,359
females right to make sure they've got

1039
00:35:01,750 --> 00:35:00,640
the upper body strength to do certain

1040
00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:01,760
tasks so that's something else that's

1041
00:35:06,790 --> 00:35:04,160
looked at briefly yes um and would you

1042
00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:06,800
say um on orbit and especially post

1043
00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:08,560
flight is even more critical as far as

1044
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:09,920
the the training that you're doing with

1045
00:35:13,829 --> 00:35:12,160
the crew members well the post flight i

1046
00:35:16,150 --> 00:35:13,839
would say the the in flight just to

1047
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:16,160
mitigate it and it's that is important

1048
00:35:19,829 --> 00:35:17,520
and the

1049
00:35:21,270 --> 00:35:19,839
more we can mitigate the easier the post

1050
00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:21,280
flight right it's going to be you know

1051
00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:22,560
they're going to recover much more

1052
00:35:26,550 --> 00:35:24,800
quickly so okay you know

1053
00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:26,560
and rich i definitely didn't want to

1054
00:35:30,230 --> 00:35:27,839
interrupt you so please go ahead with

1055
00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:30,240
your question no problem it's about the

1056
00:35:34,150 --> 00:35:32,160
apparatus that you guys use is it more

1057
00:35:36,310 --> 00:35:34,160
like a band tension

1058
00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:36,320
or what's the how does i don't know how

1059
00:35:39,190 --> 00:35:37,920
does it really work

1060
00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:39,200
yeah i don't know if i can actually

1061
00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:40,400
answer how it really works you should

1062
00:35:45,430 --> 00:35:43,200
see the thing it's pretty amazing

1063
00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:45,440
the folks that put this thing together

1064
00:35:50,550 --> 00:35:47,680
um it it actually

1065
00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:50,560
you know we we have a bar that that's

1066
00:35:54,390 --> 00:35:52,800
looks like you cut the the two ends off

1067
00:35:56,710 --> 00:35:54,400
of a wheat bar where you where you put

1068
00:35:58,390 --> 00:35:56,720
the weights and so from where your hands

1069
00:35:59,430 --> 00:35:58,400
are going and everything it looks very

1070
00:36:01,190 --> 00:35:59,440
similar

1071
00:36:02,390 --> 00:36:01,200
to what you're using on it on a daily

1072
00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:02,400
basis

1073
00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:04,240
but the difference comes in is how we

1074
00:36:09,589 --> 00:36:06,560
get that load and we actually have these

1075
00:36:11,349 --> 00:36:09,599
two chambers that we have a vacuum in

1076
00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:11,359
and so we're pulling against that vacuum

1077
00:36:15,990 --> 00:36:12,720
and we're able to

1078
00:36:17,750 --> 00:36:16,000
dial in how much weight we want um i

1079
00:36:20,710 --> 00:36:17,760
don't think we can probably get up to

1080
00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:20,720
the kind of weight you're lifting but

1081
00:36:24,310 --> 00:36:22,560
well you the other thing it goes up to

1082
00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:24,320
600 pounds so we can get up to 600

1083
00:36:28,150 --> 00:36:26,400
pounds on it awesome now now the thing

1084
00:36:29,910 --> 00:36:28,160
you got to realize though is that when

1085
00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:29,920
you get to space you you take away your

1086
00:36:34,630 --> 00:36:32,079
body weight right we have to at select

1087
00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:34,640
for squats we add back in 75 percent of

1088
00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:36,720
his body weight into whatever he squat

1089
00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:37,839
and one g

1090
00:36:41,030 --> 00:36:38,960
now you're putting now you're

1091
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:41,040
pinpointing that one load just on that

1092
00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:42,880
back so now there's some back issues so

1093
00:36:45,589 --> 00:36:44,160
you kind of got to balance that a little

1094
00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:45,599
bit

1095
00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:46,880
yeah the other thing that's very

1096
00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:49,040
interesting about a red is that within

1097
00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:51,280
that vacuum canister we also we have

1098
00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:52,640
these little flywheels that kind of

1099
00:36:57,750 --> 00:36:55,680
rotate and spin and we use we add those

1100
00:36:59,990 --> 00:36:57,760
in to create like an inertia so you

1101
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:00,000
almost get a gravity effect so you you

1102
00:37:03,270 --> 00:37:01,520
know how the you can feel the weight

1103
00:37:05,910 --> 00:37:03,280
changing direction it's not just a

1104
00:37:06,829 --> 00:37:05,920
constant this kind of solution yeah cool

1105
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:06,839
yeah

1106
00:37:13,910 --> 00:37:11,280
i actually have a question i could throw

1107
00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:13,920
out there to to everybody um you know i

1108
00:37:17,510 --> 00:37:15,920
know uh sam and your involvement with

1109
00:37:18,950 --> 00:37:17,520
the let's move and and we're here

1110
00:37:20,950 --> 00:37:18,960
talking a little bit about the train

1111
00:37:22,790 --> 00:37:20,960
like an astronaut program

1112
00:37:25,430 --> 00:37:22,800
are there any other kind of activities

1113
00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:25,440
uh that that the rest of you are doing

1114
00:37:29,829 --> 00:37:27,440
uh to you know to try and help motivate

1115
00:37:31,990 --> 00:37:29,839
kids or working with kids or even adults

1116
00:37:34,150 --> 00:37:32,000
or anything like that that uh that i'm

1117
00:37:37,910 --> 00:37:34,160
not aware of and and you'd like to share

1118
00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:40,790
i guess i can answer first um i won't

1119
00:37:44,630 --> 00:37:42,320
take credit for doing it in an official

1120
00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:44,640
capacity or anything but i do try to get

1121
00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:46,240
to many high schools in many elementary

1122
00:37:49,030 --> 00:37:47,760
schools and talk about

1123
00:37:51,030 --> 00:37:49,040
health and fitness and that sort of

1124
00:37:53,990 --> 00:37:51,040
thing it drives me crazy when kids think

1125
00:37:55,750 --> 00:37:54,000
that uh playing wii is physical activity

1126
00:37:57,990 --> 00:37:55,760
you know i just want to keep these kids

1127
00:38:00,069 --> 00:37:58,000
outside you know play outside do some

1128
00:38:01,349 --> 00:38:00,079
kind of game um eat breakfast in the

1129
00:38:03,109 --> 00:38:01,359
morning before they go to school you

1130
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:03,119
know just try to give them some kind of

1131
00:38:07,030 --> 00:38:05,760
incentive for for doing the right thing

1132
00:38:09,750 --> 00:38:07,040
you know one of the things that we've

1133
00:38:12,150 --> 00:38:09,760
been uh really talking up a lot is

1134
00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:12,160
making note of how

1135
00:38:15,750 --> 00:38:14,160
school physical education programs have

1136
00:38:17,589 --> 00:38:15,760
really been under attack especially in

1137
00:38:20,069 --> 00:38:17,599
tough budgetary times for our

1138
00:38:21,589 --> 00:38:20,079
governments listen i get that you know

1139
00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:21,599
school districts have to balance their

1140
00:38:25,430 --> 00:38:24,400
budgets just like everyone else does but

1141
00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:25,440
really the

1142
00:38:28,470 --> 00:38:27,040
the more we learn about it the more we

1143
00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:28,480
see that there's very much a connection

1144
00:38:34,150 --> 00:38:31,680
between uh physical activity and mental

1145
00:38:36,390 --> 00:38:34,160
performance in the classroom so that's

1146
00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:36,400
one of the causes that we champion very

1147
00:38:40,470 --> 00:38:38,240
strongly at men's health which is you

1148
00:38:43,750 --> 00:38:40,480
know defending physical education in our

1149
00:38:45,109 --> 00:38:43,760
schools and letting parents know that

1150
00:38:47,589 --> 00:38:45,119
that's as important a part of their

1151
00:38:49,109 --> 00:38:47,599
education as mathematics is

1152
00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:49,119
yeah that's an interesting point i know

1153
00:38:53,910 --> 00:38:51,760
for me just personally if i don't get my

1154
00:38:55,430 --> 00:38:53,920
workout in in the morning man mentally

1155
00:38:58,790 --> 00:38:55,440
the rest of the day is it's just not

1156
00:39:03,670 --> 00:39:01,349
so mike i have a question for you um

1157
00:39:05,190 --> 00:39:03,680
this is a huge part of what we do as

1158
00:39:08,150 --> 00:39:05,200
lead athletes and i'm sure jared and

1159
00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:08,160
rich are quite familiar with this but um

1160
00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:10,320
we you know we do a huge amount of

1161
00:39:15,030 --> 00:39:12,320
training volume throughout the day and

1162
00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:15,040
so when we're done training we obviously

1163
00:39:20,710 --> 00:39:18,480
have to help our body recover

1164
00:39:23,030 --> 00:39:20,720
so you know we do a lot of uh contrast

1165
00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:23,040
fast with um you know hot tub and cold

1166
00:39:28,870 --> 00:39:25,760
plunge where you uh subject yourself to

1167
00:39:30,550 --> 00:39:28,880
the wonderful task of a you know 105

1168
00:39:32,310 --> 00:39:30,560
degree hot tub

1169
00:39:34,310 --> 00:39:32,320
for two minutes and then you're into a

1170
00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:34,320
you know freezing cold tub of you know

1171
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:36,240
45-50 degrees

1172
00:39:39,990 --> 00:39:37,760
which is not wonderful but you know it

1173
00:39:42,390 --> 00:39:40,000
helps the circulation and helps uh get

1174
00:39:44,069 --> 00:39:42,400
some galactic gas out of your body um

1175
00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:44,079
you know doing things like that to

1176
00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:46,240
getting massages so is there anything

1177
00:39:50,310 --> 00:39:48,640
you all do in space after you know after

1178
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:50,320
a daily workout to help your body

1179
00:39:54,950 --> 00:39:52,400
recover

1180
00:39:56,310 --> 00:39:54,960
um well i'll have to uh i'll have to

1181
00:39:58,230 --> 00:39:56,320
talk to

1182
00:39:59,190 --> 00:39:58,240
my crewmates about the massage piece but

1183
00:40:03,829 --> 00:39:59,200
i

1184
00:40:06,069 --> 00:40:03,839
um

1185
00:40:08,069 --> 00:40:06,079
so you know i obviously i haven't i

1186
00:40:10,069 --> 00:40:08,079
haven't been up there yet so i'm not

1187
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:10,079
quite sure i'm sure mark can add in here

1188
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:11,920
but i have heard that the recovery time

1189
00:40:16,230 --> 00:40:14,800
actually up there is is quicker it's uh

1190
00:40:16,950 --> 00:40:16,240
it doesn't take as long when you have

1191
00:40:19,349 --> 00:40:16,960
that

1192
00:40:22,310 --> 00:40:19,359
real hard squat workout and your your

1193
00:40:24,710 --> 00:40:22,320
legs are just aching the next day

1194
00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:24,720
as far as i understand is oftentimes

1195
00:40:28,310 --> 00:40:26,800
that's not the case on orbits so

1196
00:40:30,870 --> 00:40:28,320
mark if you want to add on that well

1197
00:40:32,310 --> 00:40:30,880
yeah in orbit i mean you think of 22

1198
00:40:35,109 --> 00:40:32,320
hours out of the day you're floating

1199
00:40:37,750 --> 00:40:35,119
around with no weight or no load on your

1200
00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:37,760
body so the recovery is much quicker i

1201
00:40:42,630 --> 00:40:40,240
mean we do we do squatting and dead

1202
00:40:45,030 --> 00:40:42,640
lifting every single day seven days a

1203
00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:45,040
week for six months and we haven't had

1204
00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:46,960
any over training injuries or any muscle

1205
00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:48,480
tears or anything like that so the

1206
00:40:52,470 --> 00:40:50,800
recovery actually comes

1207
00:40:54,470 --> 00:40:52,480
pretty quickly

1208
00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:54,480
all right i really really hate to have

1209
00:40:57,510 --> 00:40:55,599
to wrap this up because i think it's

1210
00:40:59,430 --> 00:40:57,520
been an awesome discussion but we are

1211
00:41:01,030 --> 00:40:59,440
out of time and i want to thank all the

1212
00:41:01,910 --> 00:41:01,040
panelists i think this is really neat to

1213
00:41:03,430 --> 00:41:01,920
hear from all these different

1214
00:41:04,870 --> 00:41:03,440
perspectives and we should try to have

1215
00:41:06,309 --> 00:41:04,880
this hang out again

1216
00:41:08,870 --> 00:41:06,319
