have a productive day, Bev.

It isn't easy to convey complex information in a short video, but l try. Thanks so much for your positive assessment.

No problem. Happy that you enjoyed that video.

Thanks so much. It really is a summary of what is in my book. My doctor loved my book. Thanks so much!

Thanks, it's a challenge keeping these videos short in length 😅

Thank you for your positive assessment. It is sometimes difficult to convey such information in a short timeline. But often I find, people won't listen to longer videos. Do have a productive week, all the best, Bev.

Thanks, have a productive day

You can do it!!

Thanks for your positive assessment. Appreciate the time you took to post it.

Glad you enjoyed it! It really is a challenge to condense complex information. Do have a productive week.

Thanks very much. Do have a productive day ❤

Thanks so very much. I appreciate your review. Do have a productive day.

Thanks so much for your comment. Just seeing it now because I was on a long distance motorcycle trip.

​@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041 was it fun?

Thanks so much for your comment and subsequent follow. I appreciate it. Do have a productive day!

​@@LucasDanielSantoroYes, and such trips are always adventures

AdBlock and there will be no more ads.

ARe there ads with mine. If yes, I did not know

Thanks so much. I like to condense and present the key points for a better appreciation of the body. It's do darn amazing!!!

Thanks so much. That book took 2 years of research, writing, and editing. I appreciate your analysis. I am glad that you're reading the chapters as they build upon themselves. Do have a productive day.

Wow! You really are amazing! I'm impressed. Can you do a video on how frequently we should eat and how much protien is right? I know as an older woman I dont digest food as well as I used to, and some people don't or can't eat 5 meals a day. Is that really necessary?

haha, must have been my mode that day...

Oh thank you!

@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041 it’s been a longtime Bev how are you ?

By now you should be fully recovered , I really don’t like it when you ride that thing .

I love my Harley. I remainhighly aware of vehicles around me so don't worry ​

Yes, it is disappointing. It's hard for a lot of people to really make changes that are lifestyle changes. It's a continual battle

Thanks Bev, and you’re right, have really put things into perspective.🙏

absolutely

Maybe 2-3 times, after your other exercises

On my side l had a ski accident on Dec 21st and have been bedridden ever since. The orthopedic doctor says that l can't do any weight bearing until March! My guess is that l won't get back to the gym till April so it may take me 5 weeks to get my strength back 💪

@@bevmerriman2305 agh sorry to hear about this, wishing you a speedy recovery! 5 weeks to regain after 5 months out is not so bad, your mind - muscle connection must play a part in this. 💪

@@bevmerriman2305 I will be missing 2 weeks later this year while abroad! Will be following the 85/15 healthy / cheat food split and sounds like I’ll be ok. I thought I replied earlier but KZbin hasn’t shown it. Get well soon, all the best with your recovery I can imagine it’s been hard for an active person.

Thanks for the good wishes. I did indeed get better, in fact just returned from a 3 week long motorcycle ride across Canada and back via the northern States. Health is everything in life!

@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041 happy for you Bev! I had no doubt you’d be back and firing on all cylinders. I am still consistent with my gym lifestyle very much following your principles which finally got me results. Health is wealth 💪

I have read that but I don't subscribe to it. Saunas can dehydrate some people, and muscles have 75% water content. And even if it did, it is simply not enough when compared to the hypertrophic affect of lifting progressively heavier weights in the gym. If you think it is a substitute, I believe is not feasible.

@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041thank you 😊

Thanks so much. I have done a lot of research, but it involved many books, etc. I just thought it would be easier to put it all in one book. A book that is easy to read, and is not like a PhD thesis! Let me know if you learn from it.

I am thrilled that you learned from that video. I always try to make my videos informative. Unfortunately I have discovered that many simply can't listen to longer videos.

Well, most certainly rope skipping is a great exercise. Especially for your heart muscle (cardiovascular benefits), bones and general flexibility. It uses a lot of joints which is great. That said, you must add weight lifting to challenge the muscles with more stress than usual.

Yes, protein shakes or bars (I prefer the Quest brand) will help with the protein intake.

Thank you very much for this reassurance. I really trust your wisdom on this topic! I am making my way through your book and feel like a scientist 🤓. Will share thoughts once finished

Yes, strength training with progressively heavier weights over time is an excellent fat loss route. Still so some cardio, steady state or HIIT

Thanks so much for you comment. I appreciate the time taken to do that. I try to reduce topics to their basics, as I do in my book. No point in presenting a doctoral thesis!! haha, Do have a productive day, Bev.

Thanks for your assessment. I am thrilled that the video was of some use to you. I just did one today on macros when drinking milk. You many find it interesting. Do have a productive week, Bev.

Glad it was helpful! I appreciate the time you took to send that message. Do have a productive week, Bev.

Sorry about not responding earlier, just seeing this now. OK, the reality with cardio exercise is that you need oxygen to break down fat for energy. If there is insufficient oxygen, then the body has to get energy (oxygen) from somewhere. That's when it turns to stored carbs (glycogen) in muscle tissue to get that energy. Unfit people are just not oxidatively fit and so they can't use respiratory oxygen for very long. Additionally, an unfit body will cause increased cortisol stress hormones and they are fat-producing!! They should build up more muscle, which translates into more energy-producing mitochondria in their cells.. Also the myoglobin protein, which moves oxygen from your bloodstream into your muscle tissue, is increased through anaerobic weight-lifting exercise. LIft weights 80% of the time, and od cardio 20% of the time (do the cardio after weights so that you have more energy to lift heavier). HIIT works well to help stay aerobic on cardio machines. Hope this helps!! Bev.

Maybe one day! Thanks for your positive assessment. I see so many videos of people exercising that I thought I would try something different. I guess I could do some at the gym, but if I am talking and describing an exercise while I do it....I would probably have to get someone to video me.

Thanks for your kind assessment. My goal with these videos is to relay useful information in an easy-to-appreciate way. Have a great family-oriented day!!

Yes, often they do appear older. But that is not because their bodies have aged. It's related to the fact that they have a much lower body fat percentage which leads to less facial fat!

Ensure that you eat some carbs for fibre and glucose. Otherwise, you will get constipated, and your body will break down fat and amino acids into glucose. I wish you the best in the body sculpting war.

Thanks for your kind assessment. I have been on holiday, but I will get doing some videos this week. Have a healthy day and consider buying my book. Most videos are based upon it.

Thanks for your helpful input. Have a healthy day!!

Thanks, l am just trying to make the complex a little simpler to understand. Same approach l take with my book. If you lose weight gradually, it is much more sustainable.

I would suggest that you consume about 25% of your daily calories from fat. They click in at 9cal/gm.

Eating a lot of smaller meals

Thanks so much for your positive assessment. My husband cancelled my Quora access by accident. I only see the odd question now, a bit frustrating as I can't figure out how to access my account. And I don't want to create another one....in any case do enjoy. If you are on Instagram, you will see a bunch of posts that you may find of interest. Have a productive day!!!

@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041Thanks a lot, I'll follow you on Instagram right now

My usual expression l guess.😆🤣

Excellent, yes that video has really been very popular.

Success with reaching fitness goals is all about commitment. Without that, there is no success. You really have to want it.

@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041 🔥 YES!!! So you pretty much didn't work out for 60 years? And once you started, how did you have the ability to make a commitment? Can you make a video on that?

@@HelenaSummer Bev mentions in another video, vanity and looking good in her clothes was the source of her movation. We all need to find our “why” because it’s not an easy path at all

@@Parissolemn Yes, I get it... Not easy but worth it!

@@HelenaSummer yup and not wanting to lose the money she was spending on a personal trainer and gym that helped her too. Good luck! 🤞

It's NEVER too late. That is what my channel is all about. People seem to give up, but as you age, the building of muscle will lower your fat content and it will make you feel so fantastic. And you will look younger. I only opened to the door of a gym at the age of 60, and had reached my goals in 19 months. I am now 75 and still opening that door. I love it. I got to get off a whole whack of medications too.

No problem. I am thrilled you enjoyed the video. Have a productive and healthy day.

You are so welcome

Yes, 60 minutes of low impact cardio on your off days is great. Steady state.

Thanks very much. I try to keep them relatively short but still informative. Have a productive day.
