Having Your Cake and Eating It

"To me, having your cake and eating is too is being healthy and fit enough to eat it without suffering the consequences that come with eating it." - SeanB

To the untrained mind, this could easily be misconstrued as,

"if I workout, I can eat whatever I want."

No, that's false. You can't and you'll NEVER be able to out train a bad diet.
What this means is, the people who "get it" can eat the cake and still have the cake because:

1. They earned their cheat day by putting hours in the gym with weights and cardio while keeping a clean diet during it

2. Because they know what will happen if their eating gets out of control. They understand the consequences of "letting yourself go"

People don't understand that being healthy, being active or being fit isn't a fad and it damn sure isn't a phase of life. It's a complete lifestyle. It's a lot more than being in the gym, eating with common sense,  or investing in your body. To be healthy and fit is to achieve a balance in your life that juggles your "needs and wants" of your physical being.

For example, we NEED to have a strong body forged by weight training for the sake of a strong immune system, stronger bones and a higher capability

We WANT to have a strong body because muscle tone and muscle, in general, is sexy. It's a physical power that screams confidence and capability and we all want it. Women want to look fit and good in anything they wear, as do men.

We NEED to have a strong heart benefited from cardiovascular exercise for the sake of our longevity and our personal safety

We WANT that strong heart so we don't have to worry about high cholesterol, early stroke or bad sex. We want that so we aren't embarrassed because we walked up a single flight of stairs and we're gasping for air while others around us are a hair away from calling EMS because they think we are going to pass out.

So what is to have your cake and eat it too? Well, I'll put it to you like this: having your cake and eating it too is taking pride in your body, both inside and out, and molding it into a sexy and strong physique while being able to indulge in that delicacy once a week and not worrying about it because, come Monday, you're back on the daily grind.  Day in and day out and during it, looking better and better and getting stronger and stronger as the weeks go by. We can have that cake because we EARNED that damn cake.

Workout in Studio 222

Workout at Studio 222 on YouTube

So I had a chance to get a pad session in with James Wong of Studio222 out in Las Vegas, NV  Needless to say , I got served.

However, I will say that any form of full body cardiovascular exercise (Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Etc) is extremely beneficial to anyone's fitness goals. I strongly recommend getting a class, checking out a gym that specifies in that field, or getting a one on one session with a coach. It's an awesome way to relieve stress and test your fitness level.

I also did an interview with James after the workout, I've included it below.

Anyone who has kept up with the sport of MMA within the last 10 years knows this brand by heart; Fairtex.  Fairtex is a Muay Thai equipment company that started in a back alley warehouse in San Francisco, California. James Wong helped start off Fairtex, create by Alex Gong, and helped bring it all the way to Vegas. Now, James owns Studio222 off Flamingo Rd. in Las Vegas, NV and is still practicing the true meaning behind the Muay Thai sport and displaying it through his energy, his life and his passion to make a difference. The Las Vegas Informer had a chance to talk to Sean about his experience with James and how it has made a difference in his life.

LVI: Tell us about James and how we made an impact on your professional life.
SB: When I first met James I was a student at PFI who took a tour of his studio and listened to his story. He had a lot of struggle as he did success. That’s what made him more significant. A lot of professionals don’t speak of their struggles as passionately as their success. James knows that his struggle in life plays just as an important role, if not the most important role, in determining how successful he will become. I saw this and I knew immediately to listen to everything he says. After I decided to start my own thing in San Antone, I kept in contact with James and made it a point to pick his brain every chance I could. His insight was virtually priceless.

LVI: Why did you choose James to interview for the Las Vegas Informer?

SB: As I said, James’ way of thinking is something I cannot find in many different leaders and business owners anywhere I've looked or been. He understands that things happen for a reason and that you must give up something good to get to great. His energy displays that and you can hear the passion in his voice when he speaks. I feel people need to be reminded of what leader of his caliber sounds like.  Along with that, he has some awesome stuff happening in Vegas and I thought it would make for a good interview piece

LVI:  Before this, have you ever trained in Muay Thai?

SB: I never have. This workout kicked my butt big time. I have trained in boxing before and, like every kid, took karate and Tae Kwan Do when I was younger but nothing on this level. Muay Thai brings whole body along with knees and elbows into play. The kicks take time to get the technique down and the movement will wear you out a lot quicker when you’re expected to move and hit simultaneously. I will say after I was finished that I was sore for days. It shows me where my weaknesses are and where I need to improve.

James Wong and Studio222 have been serving Vegas since 2008 and is still going strong. He makes it a point to keep it environmentally friendly and effective for his clientele. He can be located at 8645 W. Flamingo Rd #104 and can be reached via Email at James@Studio222@lasvegas.com
