How does Andy Frisella say to get back in shape after having kids?

Andy Frisella told a parent whose fitness slipped after having kids not to ease back in at all. He said to decide today to become a different person and back it up with action, because changing identity takes a definitive decision, not a long time. He pointed to his own past at 350 pounds at age 36 and recommended 75 Hard.

Andy Frisella said that what you see in the mirror is the result of past decisions, not of who you choose to be today.
Andy Frisella dismissed the belief that one's situation is unique, noting that many admired people carry heavy obligations.
