so people can find you on the interwebs. Now, these are link trees. So thejoshparish.com,
that's my personal link tree, facebook email all contact information and then
getupgang.com and that'll take you directly to the newly built community that i've just uh
established it's a health and fitness community that well it's got a lot of great information
on there so come check it out there you go and you got on your Instagram You got a lot of great workout tips And videos and different
Ways to do stuff and stuff
And make it look easy for people
So give us a 30,000
Overview what you do there at
Getupgang.com
Yeah so
Man I started Getupgang just because
There's a lot of contradicting information out there
In terms of health and fitness on the Internet.
A lot of great coaches out there, but most folks, they're just like, where the heck do I start?
And I really try to just throw out the most simplest ways to get started.
And when you join GetUpGang.com, which is absolutely free, I've got a little 21 day fitness transformation
jumpstart and there's four steps and you could repeat these steps to infinity, but it's posture
enhancement. All right. And then number two is, uh, increase your animal proteins. You need to
prioritize that. And then you need to clean out your guts, like intestinal tract cleanliness, and then your daily movement practice, which is the get-ups.
And so just in a nutshell, everybody knows what the burpee is.
CrossFit has demonized that.
Get down on the ground.
Get back up.
And because people – it's been demonized by CrossFit as like a punishment.
Well, I've just turned it.
I've rebranded it. It's the get up.
And I call it a skill-based movement because if you're not good at getting up, well, you're not
getting up off the ground. So, and as we age, our strength to body weight ratio kind of becomes
skewed. Like we start to weigh way more than we can lift. And well, it's just important to maintain that physicality as we go forth into our older years and practice those acts of strength.
So moving your body first, it's very, very important.
And you don't need any equipment.
You really don't have any excuses for getting up off the ground.
And really, truly, there's no wrong way to do a get up because it's just getting on the ground and really truly there's no wrong way to get do a get up
because it's just getting on the ground and getting back up even if you have to have help
from like a chair or anything so it's all about the basics man i do that in vegas i fall on the
ground and then get back up but you just have one night of drinking i don't care for vegas just
because i have so many of those stories out there i'm just like god a black hole for me i don't care for vegas just because i have so many of those stories out there i'm just like god black hole for me i don't yeah it's it can be a troublesome place especially if there are things
that you like that are that can get you into some troubles the troubles as they like to call them
uh or at least what my judge says uh but i get the ankle bracelet off after my last vega
vegas visit for next week uh call back on the joke uh for the show uh so let's see here um on you you
talked about a number of things you threw at me um and one thing you mentioned was you know we
don't really have to go you know do the maybe the heavy working but we just got to start moving and
stuff there was a netflix show that i just recently, something about the blue zones and living to 100. Have you seen that?
Yeah.
I've met a lot of blue zones.
Yeah.
And basically, what this guy found was these people were living to 100, and they weren't going to the gym every day working out.
But they were constantly moving, and they were, like you said, sitting down and then getting up.
They identified these japanese people on some
island that we're all living you know these people are living 100 and really they're just
always moving throughout their day you know they're farming the land and they're just constantly
moving and burning calories you know unlike me where i just sit in front of the computer for
12 12 hours a day yeah it's so easy for us to just sit around all day. Most of our jobs,
or at least, you know, my job, I can just be in front of the computer all day and just like you,
and, you know, just run my mouth and make money. And well, we kind of forget to, you know, what,
what moving our body is like, and if we don't use it, we lose it. So, and we, we lose it pretty
quickly. I mean, we can gain it back pretty quickly, but we lose it very, very quickly. And yeah, just you exercise is as complex as you can,
as you want to make it, or it's as simple as you want to make it. And I'm just really,
really trying to push the message that it doesn't have to be that complex. It's just as simple as just moving.
There you go.
So to join getupgang.com,
does it cost anything initially
or how does it work?
Are you trying to build a community?
What's your goal there?
Well, listen, my personal coaching,
there is a fee I have to eat,
but to join the Get Up Gang,
I do have to eat.
I have to light meal, things like that.
But but I you know, if you can do it on your own, I lay out all the information out there on the get up gang.
There's some challenges and courses that are completely free.
And well, I mean, if you're self-driven and you have 30, 45 minutes to run through the information. Cause I mean, I boil it down to
the most foundational principles for, for everyone, but yeah, free of cost. You just go and get up
gang.com, hit the join button and I'll just accept you and you're there. So there you go.
So there you go. And then do you work personally one-on-one with everybody or how does it, how does that work from there?
Yeah.
You know,
you can,
you can,
it's the little community that I've built,
which I really haven't seen too many communities like it.
Uh,
but you,
you can DM me and ask me questions and stuff.
And then if you feel like you need more personal attention,
then we can work one-on-one or we can hop on some group trainings.
But,
but yeah,
I mean,
there's just a tremendous amount
of good information there.
That's just very, very simple and clear cut.
There you go.
So what's your origin story?
What got you into fitness?
Why is this important to you?
And what was your hero's journey?
Man, growing up, I was a fat kid and I was loved.
I mean, my, my, my family loved me, but they loved to feed me too.
And growing up all over the South,
you know, the gas stations,
they had some good home cooking
and we'd go there after school
and mom would get me a corn dog
and, you know, like grandma
would always be making biscuits
and, you know, you can't outwork
a good Southern cooking diet.
You just absolutely can't do it.
I love to eat, still love to eat.
Moving around a lot, because I moved around about every year and a half or so,
stepdad was rising in the ranks of a retail company.
But being the new kid and being the fat kid, man, I got the shit into the stick.
I don't know if I can say that, but yeah, it was definitely a hard time.
But I learned that you can reinvent yourself as often as you want.
You just have to flip the switch.
You can learn from your mistakes or where you slipped up.
And if you move towns, then you you could especially before social media like I
could be whoever I wanted to next time not make the same mistakes but I love baseball and even
though I was fat I could still get down and then I hit high school and I was like all right it's
time to get in shape and I I worked out like hell and that was all she wrote because well I just I
didn't want to be fat anymore even though though I still have flow between extremely good shape and then pretty bad out of shape, just depending on the wave of life.
But, but yeah, I've already, I've always been pretty obsessive about the knowledge and wisdom and the health and fitness space.
There you go.
So you overcome adversity.
You grow up as a, as a, as a, uh, a pretty
challenged child. And, uh, you know, now, now here you are. And when did you really start working out
or get your physique in place and locked in? Well, it's always been a battle for me because
I have loved to eat so much and I love a cold beer, but was 15 years old uh ninth grade and our baseball coach
hired a personal trainer and the first day the trainer came in i had a mountain dew and he's
like josh i see you working out but you're drinking these mountain dews you're never gonna
have abs if you keep drinking those mountain dews and And I was just like, no more Mountain Dews for me.
So I kind of turned on the jets a little bit and, and yeah, I stopped drinking, uh, Mountain Dews
and Cokes and all that right then and there, uh, didn't slow me down on beer drinking at all.
I'm no saint, right. But, but yeah, that's really when i turned on the jets and then the last three or
four years i've been selling real estate down here in destin florida and about four ish months ago
i was like it's time to get back in really really good shape and do what i'm supposed to do and
that's lead people to the best versions of themselves so yeah by example so i've just been
i've been hell on wheels getting back in
shape lately so well you're definitely in shape i mean you're you're i'm i've seen your videos
you're definitely in shape and doing well so you're doing the right thing now one thing you
have on your as your motto is fuck your luck tell us what that means i thought that that really
struck me as a great thing for a shirt or a hat.
Man, it really is.
You know, fuck your luck is I hate when I hear people say, oh, you're lucky, or they didn't earn it.
You know, like, yes, luck happens,
but usually people have good fortune whenever they're prepared
when they hit the situation where they're lucky, right?
They've adequately prepared themselves to meet the challenge.
So if you just depend on luck and good fortune, if you actually receive something, it's going to be very, very short lived because whether, whether you,
you know, got a big commission in a sale or you happen to stumble upon some weight loss drugs
or, you know, anything, something drops in your lap, you're not going to keep it because you
didn't actually own it in the first place. But if you, if you prepare and you are the person that
attracts that commission or that those gains, well, then you're going to own it and you're going to keep it and you're going to steamroll and continue to receive those blessings.
So that's just the basis of fuck your luck, because, man, I don't believe in luck.
I mean, sometimes we do get lucky.
Yes, but.
But it's mostly it's mostly you know
i mean they they say luck is what happens when hard work meets opportunity i think or hard luck
preparation meets yeah something something along those lines yeah i was trying to weave that in
there but i didn't know the saying exactly yeah but i know what you mean i mean people used to do
that to me in business they
would come up to me and be like god you're so lucky you have your own company and i'm like
do you know how much blood sweat tears years hard work went into this crap you know i get that to
people on the podcast they're like hey how do i start a podcast like yours and i'm like i don't
know 15 years ago you uh you start talking to a mic and no one cares.
You just start and do 2,000 episodes.
Yeah, a million episodes.
And then you get one listener.
And so that's my mom.
You know, I don't think she listens to the show anymore, does she?
No, sometimes they say controversial things about religion on here. And I I swear she doesn't like swearing, but God bless her.
Um, so you, you know, when you, when you talk about this exercise regimen, do you, do you
teach your clients to go, you know, do the big weight lifts in the gym or do you have
them do, uh, some of the things that you're talking about where, um, you're just kind
of trying to create movement?
Oh, man. Listen, the gym is the last thing that we should be thinking about.
I love this.
I know that sounds crazy. Listen, I love the gym. I've been going for a long time,
but we live so many hours of the day outside of the gym. And again, it's, it's the whole fuck your luck thing because you have to be it in order to
achieve it. You have to receive it.
So you can't just go to the gym three hours a week and all of a sudden you
look like Arnold. Like it's just, that's just not, you have to,
you have to eat the food. You have to have the mindset. You have to have,
you know, the recovery protocols.
You have to do so many different things to actually be that person.
So it's a lot of mental and the foundational principles have to be solidified before we go and learn all these crazy complex lifts and things.
Because, I mean, I don't work with Olympians and people that want to hop on stage and do competitions.
I mean, I will.
I can.
But that's just – it's not – like, I'm not going to get you a gold medal.
But there's 7 billion people on the planet that aren't going to be in the Olympics.
So – but if you're in a disempowered state and you're looking to forge that solid foundation, and, I mean, if you listen to what I say,
you're going to be strong as shit and you can get jacked.
But you have to believe that mastery is found within the basics.
Because if you just repeat the basics over and over and over,
oh my God, you'll be better than 97, 98% of people in the industry
or whatever you're trying to achieve.
So yeah, people are always looking for the secret,
but there's no secrets out there.
You know, and, and part of the reason you correct me if I'm wrong,
they're looking for the secret is they want some sort of like the shortcut to
like, Hey, can I just like, you know,
what's the secret so I can just like tomorrow I'll be done.
You know, they want a shortcut. They don't want to I'll be done. You know, they want a shortcut.
They don't want to do the hard work.
You know, you make a good point too, knowing the basics.
I think it was Coach Wooden, the famous NBA, or maybe he was college coach.
He used to, you know, his basketball players go down and do some fancy,
cool layup or something.
And he's like, well, that's great, but here's what I want you to do.
I want you to just do the basics. I want you to work around the key of the
basketball key there. I want you to practice your free throws, you know? And, uh, and so he would
always focus on that. Go back to the basics. And you're right because the basics are the real core
when you say, Oh yeah i believe uh i was
reading uh what's his name it was michael jordan's person there you go um tim grover yeah and he said
that michael jordan would start out every practice with just simple chess passes and you know that's
what you know if you go watch six-year-old kids play basketball the first thing they learn is the
simple chest pass
i mean if michael jordan starts with the chest pass i mean 20 years ago obviously but if he
started with the chest pass during practice then well there's probably something to it
definitely definitely uh and it's those simple things you know this the basics you know who was
the one basketball guy who was it was shack who really a great player, but he couldn't throw free throws for nothing?
Yeah, Shaq was the worst at free throws, I think.
And that's an example of where you got to go back to basics
because those free throws stack up.
I mean, they can make a game or not.
You know, I'm a big Raiders fan, and they've gotten better,
but it used to be that the raiders would throw so many penalties
they would lose football games because they would give up literally 200 or 300 yards of penalties
basically of people touchdowns and they're still playing like 1970s football um and thankfully
they moved to the 80s i think now but we're still working on it. Those 300-pounder yards, they killed half the other team.
That's true.
That's true.
Just win, baby.
I mean, it was the Raiders.
I think I talked to – who was it I talked to off the Raiders one time?
I had become friends with, and we talked privately.
He won the Tampa Bay.
He won his Super Bowl for Tampa Bay and he played his last season in the Raiders.
And I said, why do they always do this, man?
Why do they play dirty and they try and cheat and they play ugly and they just get penalties?
He goes, that's how we get taught.
They're still playing 70s ball.
So there you go.
You talk about something called selfless
selfishness what does that mean man so you can't pour from an empty cup and far too often i mean
there's a lot of selfish folks out in the world but not in a good way and selfless selfishness
or selfish selflessness it works either way it. It's taking care of your needs first,
and then you can go pour into others. Because if we neglect our own personal needs,
the most foundational basics like, hey, you need to rest and eat good food, you need to take time
to unwind and decompress. If you're always just pouring into everyone else and running yourself
ragged, well, you're really the people that you're trying to pour into, you're showing up about half
yourself. So when you actually just slow down, take care of your needs first, then you can move
forth and pour into people like you want to pour into them. Because, yeah, I mean, like, listen,
my mom is my best friend, but she is the number one martyr on
the planet like she's just always pouring into everyone else and then she'll get fed up and then
she blows up and then you know it's like yeah i mean she's like it's like mom just take some time
for yourself and stop trying to give away the roost just take some time for yourself but there's
so many especially parents out there pouring into their kids. And yeah, you need to take care of your kids.
I don't have any kids.
I don't think, but there are probably some out there somewhere.
I'm hiding from mine.
Maury keeps calling me and I'm just don't return his calls.
So there's that.
You're saving up your energy store so you can maybe one day pour into them, right?
Uh, actually I, I, uh, I'm planning on sending them all to military school and they can just saving up your energy store so you can maybe one day pour into them right uh actually i i uh i'm
planning on sending them all to military school and they can just call me when they turn 18.
hey man that's you got a plan that's great there you go uh call in here from adam husky hey how's
it going buddy that's what my counselor has been telling me she said you can't run an empty
jackson brown said that as well. Running an empty.
There you go.
And you're a vet.
So, Adam, you should check out Josh's system and his GetUpGang thing.
There'll be a.com and all that good stuff too.
So thanks for the call in there.
The one thing you talked about was posture as one of the four items that you said were important.
Why is posture important? Are you going to yell at me like my mom where you're going to be like sit up straight no no not at all
i'm not gonna yell at you one our posture okay so if we're walking around with slumped shoulders
you know we really project a disempowered state to the world right so people even if you are the
most confident person in the world and you're slumped over, you're showing that maybe you're not confident.
That's just what people are going to perceive, you know, perceive you. But when you stand up
straight, shoulders back, you really project confidence to the world. But also at the same
time, I did a little video on Instagram most recently and it was talking about how I
believe that maybe anti-anxiety medication is over prescribed in the United
States.
And if people would just work on their mobility and their soft tissues of the
upper body,
chest,
upper spine,
then they'll actually be able to breathe properly.
Like because the most,
like the muscle tissues,
they,
especially if we're humped over our lungs expand and if the if the box that the lungs if if it's a 10 pound if it's
10 pounds of potatoes in a five pound sack well you're not gonna be able to breathe max capacity
and what happens when we're anxious well that shortness of breath happens and then the nervous
system's like oh man like what's wrong with us and then we think something's wrong with us
and but really and truly if you just loosen up those tissues and you open up your chest stand up
you'll be able to breathe better so there you go but there there are listen there are some
serious mental health issues out there but i think a lot of people just i think that if they
just worked on the you know posture and it would help a lot of folks there you go i agree uh 10
pounds 10 pounds of potatoes in a five pound bag that's the name of my only fans i couldn't let
that joke i'll check it out man i couldn't let that joke go by. So there you go. I don't know what it means, but it sounded funny in my head.
So it must have been not funny.
But so, yeah, posture, that makes sense.
And I think you're right about antidepressants.
I suffered depression a lot of my life.
And in my 50s, I started going to the gym regularly.
I think it was right before COVID, 2019, 2020, and i started going every single day and that was the first
time in life where i literally started going every single day and uh and i feel so much better
you know you got the you you get that testosterone going that you need you get those endorphins and
all the chemicals you need and you really start feeling good even though you know you might
feel a little beat up especially if you're pushing yourself to lift hard but you know you you kind
you kind of feel like a human being again and i think you're right i think a lot of people are
depressed because you know we're sitting in darkness and you know you get outside you get
some of that vitamin d you know and and stuff and usually if you're working out you're trying to
take a good multi you know i i was never good at taking vitamins and all the shit you're supposed to take
until uh probably had vitamin d deficiency much of my life uh so you i mean that makes sense man
and how you breathe and and just oxygen you know sometimes just the basics moving you don't have
to go to the gym and lift you know 500 pound weights right yeah and you know in the get up gang
so level one is the 21 day fit transformation jump start with the four steps but level two
actually i teach a style of training called strength flow and it's everything that you can
do in a 10 by 10 box you know 10 foot by 10 foot you don't need any equipment. Is this for when I go to prison? Dude, yes, exactly.
Okay, this is my plan.
If you look at people in jail and prison that actually work out in the jail cell,
they're so physical because it's time on task,
and they're doing everything they can.
They're getting creative with their body.
They're moving, and they own their physicality.
So with strength flow, these style workouts, they don't beat you up.
They actually make you feel energized.
And it's stress alleviation, athleticism enhancement,
and the whole soft tissue therapist thing.
I really am a massage therapist, but I don't put my hands on people a whole lot.
I teach people how to unlock their bodies. So yeah, man, I mean, we start
unlocking these stagnant tissues, these past injuries. We're moving in flow. We're getting
our circulation going, learn how to breathe better, getting our body back on track with
balance and rhythm and timing. Dude, people are, they gain really, really fast. And I mean, it's just,
it's a lot different than what most people teach, but my goal, because my clients are like a book
that I write, right? Like that's my, that's my evidence to the world. And I want them to
incrementally step up. I don't, it's the whole fuck your luck thing. This is not by chance.
I want people to move at their own pace and take one step at the time.
And I don't want them to jump five steps ahead.
Like if you're lifting weights and all of a sudden you're feeling good that
day and you can deadlift like a hundred pounds and you're like,
Oh,
I'm feeling good.
So I'm going to deadlift like 150 today.
You might get one,
but then rep two,
you like blow your back out.
It's like like well shit
can't do it tomorrow so yeah man so the thing with the body weight workouts and moving in flow
you're not going to get hurt you're figuring out where your trouble areas are
and it's it's incremental gains so that's why i love it so much and the people love it too
there you go and you know i think that's the problem with most
people you know for years i would or decades i would go to the gym and i'd be like i'm gonna
work out you know the whole new year's resolution bullshit and like i'm gonna go work out and then
i go like lift something really hard and then for like three days i couldn't move because all the
was the acid uh had built up in my elbows and everything,
you know, potassium that you need.
You need more potassium.
But I just basically hurt myself.
And then you're like, oh, God, this workout sucks.
And, you know, you've got to wait for all that lactic acid or whatever it is that builds up to wash out of your system.
And then you just want to do that again.
And, you know, it's a constant cycle of up and down instead of just want to do that again and you know it's just it's a constant
cycle of up and down instead of just trying to go steady so i like the modality that you use
in keeping it very simple and and uh just easy to go one thing you talk about too
is psychological warfare tell us about what uh that's about it's winning the war before you or
winning the battle before you ever or winning the battle before you
ever even get to the battlefield. And I don't necessarily have to do it so much right now.
Now in real estate sales, sometimes I'd have to throw some stuff out there, some tactics and
whatnot, but psychological warfare, it's basically, just for example example like when I played baseball and
our games next week I may try
to go take the coach's daughter out on a date
you know from the other team before
you know before our big game
or something along those lines because I listen
man I think his wife out
yeah yeah like
wife daughter whatever but uh
and or
just talking a lot of shit on the field or warm-ups you know i'm taking
you know line drives off the shoulder and just like screaming and being crazy and just like
scaring the shit out of the other team you know it's just because you get in people's heads
and they're they're hesitant because they don't want to mess with you they know you're crazy
and it's just making sure that your reputation does the work for you
before you ever actually have to go out to battle.
I think it was Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
There was one story where he's sitting on this big wall,
and he didn't have any army whatsoever.
The army coming up, they see Sun Tzu sitting on the wall
and they're like, why is he
just sitting on the wall waiting for us?
What does he have in store for us? But really, Sun Tzu didn't
have shit.
The other army just
left. They're like, hell no. I don't know
what the deal is, man.
It's just crap.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
was big on psychological psychological warfare too so it it's
helped me out a lot in my life and sometimes it backfires you know but but because i mean
but you still have i mean you gotta throw the kitchen sink at it sometimes
sometimes having psychological warfare with your own mind right oh yeah i mean that's what sometimes have that where I'm like, I don't want to go to the gym.
I feel like shit.
And sometimes I do feel like shit.
And I'm like, I don't want to go to the gym.
You're like, you have to go to the gym.
And you're like, I don't want to go.
And so I've learned that, okay, all right, so you don't want to work out.
Okay, well, we're going to drive to the gym.
And we're going to go sit there.
Maybe we'll sit in one of the massage chairs.
Or maybe we'll just sit in the locker room or sit in the sauna. But we're going to the gym. We're going to go sit there. Maybe we'll sit in one of the massage chairs.
Maybe we'll just sit in the locker room or sit in the sauna.
We're going to the gym.
I'll drive myself to the gym.
It's kind of funny.
As soon as I walk in there, I just kind of jump right into state.
Even if I feel really bad, I'm like, okay, well, you might as well be here.
Might as well lift some weight.
Just keep everything moving. You just start lifting some weights and suddenly just everything will kick in and you're just back in gear and
you're just like,
ah,
screw it.
I'll be fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A few times and you're fine.
If you don't go,
you're going to regret that you didn't go.
So you hate yourself.
Yeah.
You're just like,
I'm going to,
you know,
and if you go and sometimes I do like,
uh,
the other night I went and I wasn't feeling well and I had some pains.
And I went and sat in the sauna.
And the sauna kind of loosened me up.
I had like a headache or something from probably caffeine withdrawals.
And so I went and sat in the sauna.
And that got up on my pores and opened up my brain and what's left of it and my body.
And that thing, saunas are really good
for you um and so then i was like hey i really feel good now my headache kind of went away
