DAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
Hello Everybody!
Hi Guys!
and welcome back to FourieFamCam
yes
the moment has arrived
the big announcement guys
the big, big, big announcement
we're going to be doing something huge
for the next 3 months
its basically going to change our lives
well it sure will
it sure will
so stay tuned after the intro and we'll tell you all about it
Hi there we're high school sweethearts
that got married really young
and had, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 children
I used to run and workout but
with the two new babies I kinda lost time
and I lost my body
well he thinks he has it hard
I'm the one that had the babies
I just don't feel like its my body anymore
we've decided to challenge ourselves
in a 12 week fitness challenge
we are not fitness gurus
we don't have those super sexy bodies you see on Instagram
but we want to see if normal 30 something year old parents
like us
can get into shape
look good, feel good
in 12 weeks
join us on this fun fitness challenge
and lets see how we do
Its called the Fourie Fitness Challenge
why Fourie?
because we are the Fouries
and you're on the FourieFamCam
I'm scared
I have been actually feeling very anxious about this
for about the last three weeks
I've been putting off filming this little video
for quite some time
it is a nervous time because
we're putting so much of ourselves out there
a 100 percent honest
a 100 percent open
and not hide anything
and that is pretty darn scary
because you show me one person out there
who doesn't have insecurities
we're real people
guys would you take off your clothes for YouTube?
basically that's what we're going to be doing
every week
we're going to be getting close to naked
every Friday
with our weekly weigh-in
why would we weigh-in and show our body weight
something a woman never reveals to anybody
why, why would we do that Louise
are we stupid?
yeah I think so
I think so yeah thats it
as from this Friday we are starting a 3 month
Fitness
Challenge
stop
I want to emphasise
three months
not three weeks
three days
three hours
which yes, all sounds a lot more appealing
its 12 weeks
we have to lose 12 percent of our body weight
yeah
can we do that?
can we do that
well we're sure as hang gonna try
we sure are
because if we don't
we are going to have to do something super embarrassing
super scary
as like a forfeit
yeah
when we do our final weigh-in
in the United States
o.k
if your only goal was to lose weight
it would be super easy
just stop eating
thats too easy
we don't want to just lose weight
o.k
because that can also get pretty unhealthy
what we want to do
is we want to lose fat
unwanted weight
first of all
we don't want to lose muscle
so you've got to do that gradually and carefully
o.k
you don't want to lose weight too fast
because then you start having problems with like
stretchy skin marks and things
and its not maintainable
as soon as you start eating you're going to put that weight on again
well thats the thing
we're wanting to make a lifestyle change
absolutely
half of the exercises out there at the moment
I have never even heard of
things have changed since I was a young guy
and used to go to the gym to you know crank out those weights
a lot has changed
so we're going to be learning a lot of this stuff as well
and hopefully we're going to be inspiring some of you
to join us
and learn some of this stuff as well
but first before Claude continues at all
I want to just stop
and I want this in super bold
super high, super highlighted letters
we are not fitness experts
I am not even fitness knowledgable
let me just put this out there
Louise what do you hate about your body
o.k Claude asked me this question
about 2 minutes before we started filming
and funny enough I could think about
20 things that I don't like about my body
but the hardest thing was finding 1 thing
that I like about my body
and that is the truth
yeah
thats the real truth
o.k so I'll tell you what I don't like about my body first of all
I have Cankles
cankles
what are cankles
calves that just go right down into your ankles
but like, there's no
ankle
I mean lets just be honest
theres no shape or form to your
like calf muscle
to the lower leg no
its just pretty much
calf foot
calf-foot
calf into the foot
something I don't like about my body is
when I put on weight
I put on weight here on my chest
I've got a large chest area
and when I was younger I used to lift weights and that
and that was the area that grew the fastest
it was weird
I had a really nice looking chest
you've always had a broad chest
but
when I stopped it just seems like thats the area
that got the fattest fasted
and so its very uncomfortable
because you've got like those man boobs
and when you're running down the street
its like blue eyes
so that is my embarrassing body part
o.k so this is how its going to work out
o.k there is going to be a new Playlist
on our FourieFamCam channel
just for the Fourie Fitness Challenge
o.k
and you're going to see a variety of video there
every single week
every Friday is a weigh-in
where we weigh ourselves and see
are we meeting our targets
are we losing weight
so we will weigh in on camera
Um there could be weeks where we didn't lose weight
where we gained weight
and so we will basically do a little sit down
with a cam
and have like a
high points low points
like a truth cam session
yes
confession session
high points low points
what we maybe did wrong
if we cheated
that kind of thing
yeah
and we're going to weigh in in our swimsuit
so you can also sort of see
hang on
o.k
things are not looking to good there
then every week we're gonna have fitness vlogs
and these vlogs are going to follow us around
what we're eating
what we're doing
just to keep you informed
and maybe inspire you as well
we're also going to have
workout videos
so things that we've never tried before
exercises that we're going to try
yoga, I've never tried yoga
listen I am about as flexible as a street pole
I'm serious
if I have to bend down too low
I will topple over
you know
and if I have to get into certain squaty positions
you're going to hear sounds that you wish you never heard
this is going to be super funny
and super interesting to see us try some of these things out
now we've created a blog
so you can follow up with some of the things that we're doing
its called close
number 2
home.blog
o.k
follow the blog
close2home.blog
go right now, go subscribe
and so you are part of that community
and we're going to be putting out our diets
our different workouts
some information
extra information for you
also check out our Instagram page
because
we're going to have some inspiration for you
things that you know inspire you maybe
for the day
like
oof I don't know if I feel like working out today
Instagram bing, bing
whoa yeah I wanna workout
look how cool Claude's calves look
they wont be saying that about my cankles
no I'll give it a skip
apart from all these incredible videos that we have
we also have
a pretty awesome group of sponsors
yes we sure do
and thats what I am most excited about
these guys are some of the best of the best
in the industry
they're from around the world
experts at what they do
so we have sponsors that will assist us
with our nutrition and supplements
we have sponsors who have come on board with
a variety of energy bars
we have some fashion sponsors
don't forget the sponsors for equipment that we will be using
yes
training interval equipment
as well as a really exciting sponsor
that does
they've basically revolutionized the moon bag
which is suitable for training
because when I'm running with my cell phone
and my money and
I never know what to do with these items
so they have a solution for that
guys a lot of these partners have also
partnered with us for Freebie Fridays
so next couple Freebie Fridays as well
coming up
will also feature some awesome fitness and supplement giveaways
as well
I wanna just say this
I wanna put this out there
because I know some of you are going to want to sign up right away
you're going to want to join us on our challenge
so we can compare notes
how cool would that be
and you could compete with us
absolutely lets see if you can do better than
I dont think you can but lets see
let see
there is a sponsor called International Protein
o.k
and they ship pretty much world wide
and they've created packs
specifically for this challenge
yes
they are sending me a pack
and they are sending Louise a pack
Louise's pack is a little bit different
because she's breastfeeding
and I'm a lady
and she's a lady
I don't know if you noticed
surprise, surprise
and she used to be a lady
and so you can get this pack as well
and you can take exactly what we're taking
I told you we're being completely transparent about this
guys
I'm basically challenging you
can you be better than us
at this challenge
I know its got our name in it
but I think you know
you can make this challenge your own
so many of you might be saying
listen I've heard about these weight loss challenges before
and there is a lot of this sort of thing on YouTube
guys I'm not trying to be like some sort of fitness guru
I am coming to you as a thirty something
father
and a mother of five
o.k
and I'm saying listen
I want to change my lifestyle
I wanna change my body
and I don't want to do it in a way that I've got to change my whole
daily routine
I don't want to start counting calories
with a calculator and putting things in my
there is a lot of that going on and thats great
and that works and thats fine
but also paying for like expensive diet clinics
trainers and all these different things
thats expensive
I know
we want to try do this on our own
from home
a lot of this we want to do from home
and like I said before
we don't have a lot of time
this was my night last night
last night I woke up I don't know how many times
because the one baby woke up and screamed and cried
and then the other one started laughing in his crib
and then he laughed and giggled the whole night
and he was awake in the middle of the night
in the middle of the night he was awake
I think they woke up like 5 times
this morning I take out the one baby
who's peed the cot
finished
its like sopping wet
o.k
I take him I put him in the bath
I go to shave
thinking o.k I'm going to film my little video today
turn around
and there is a doodi in the bath
theres like a big fat doodi in the bath
so this is my life guys
this is what we go through
so if we can manage to fit in workouts
if we can manage
to change our lifestyle
with eating habits
to feel more energized
after getting on average every night about 4 hours of sleep
guys if we can do that then you can do it
there are no excuses
there are no excuses
and we're not saying listen you have to have an awesome body to be beautiful
you already are super beautiful
we love you guys
but
are you happy with yourself
yeah
are you happy with your appearance
do you think that you are the best that you can be
so I am just looking to raise my goals
to be the best that I can be
and to try my hardest so that other people can see
that it is possible
and so its not just aimed at parents
but its aimed at anyone who has a limitation of time
and I think that pretty much includes everybody
I think so
o.k guys I know this was a lot of information
but we basically wanted to inform you
get you guys ready
for this Friday
we start this Friday 1st of September
it doesn't matter if you watch this video
weeks, months or years from now
you can start the challenge at any time as well
you can follow the challenge and see if it works for you
another thing I want to add
is we've thrown in a little like small marathons
as a mini goal
yes
and so we're going to be doing the Venice, Italy marathon
its a 10km marathon
and thats going to be smack in the middle of this challenge
we're going to also have to be training for that
yes
and you're coming with us
you're coming with us you're going to be there running with us
on camera though
you can like be
put on your VR and you can be like running at home
ooh wow look at that wonderful church
and look at that gondolier
well for all of our European viewers
there are still a few more weeks to enter the marathon
a few more spots open
so if you want to join us there
yeah we would love to run with you guys
it would be so awesome
guys tune in for the first video
this Friday
the beginning of the 12 week Fourie Fitness Challenge
things are going to get up close and personal
trust me
you might see things you wish you had never seen
some things can't be unseen
Miss perfect

ah no that is not true
I think what we want to show people is that we're real people
real parents
real ups and downs in life
just like you guys out there
lets do this together
this is a real challenge
no funny business
we're going to show you everything
if we can do it you can do it
anything is possible
