If doing cardio sounds horrible to you, it's because you don't make it interesting. You don't need to run on the treadmill in the gym. Go swimming. Ride a bike. Run through the woods. Make it interesting for yourself.

[@PurpleMarce]

Robert Markoš exactly! I love roller blading, dancing y hula hooping as forms of cardio 😊.

[@chasemiller6439]

Robert Markoš I agree. I like riding a bike and I’m not talking about those stationary bikes at the gym, I’m talking about the ones you can ride outside. Stationary bikes are boring to me but outdoor bikes are fun. People have to try their best to avoid making excuses and find fun ways to be healthy.

[@zeeotter100]

What if you don't have a pool or woods or a beach nearby?

[@kooler999ify]

[@aur9035]

Basically the key is consistency and being well-informed

[@pmbfit]

I love the fact that you guys mentioned "resistance training" as in "lifting" (gym) and "calisthenics" to preserve (and increase, of course) our muscles. When you really know what you are doing, expect only gainz every week you get.

[@XQCentral]

Omg this is SO important, when i lose all motivation im always super scared i will lose everything

[@DreErdna]

Kido.exe keep training

[@basedexo119]

1-2 week diet breaks have been a life saver for me on a diet. Better muscle retainment, improved mood, improved hormones (leptin etc), strenght gains, better sleep, lower stress and able to keep cutting on higher calories after the diet break . Highly recommend everyone to do diet breaks instead of refeed days. Or you can do both if you want to :)

[@V19-g9i]

Based Exo so u eat whatever during the break??

[@basedexo119]

I personally eat the same foods, just a bit more of them so im eating at maintenance instead of deficit (nothing wrong with adding a bit of dirty foods if you want to).

[@creepyteemo3587]

Man if you say that you need a break it means that your diet is HARSH and I can guarantee you that after a few months/years you will never have a diet again bcs whenever you ll think about it you ll get sick. You should make for yourself a big nutrition plan that you can respect your entire life, not onlya few years.That nutirtion should contain foods that can feed you hunger for sweets or other things but in a healthy way.You should also have 3,4 options to eat at any meal so you don t have to eat the same thing. (After every workout I ate poultry and rice for 3,4 months, 5 days a week and after I stopped whenever I see poultry I feel like I am going to vomit)

[@h3lol]

sounds like you listen to jeff with your "nutrition plan"

what did you change? also how's it going

[@buntyswift3540]

Hi I am trying to lose muscle mass with weight can u tell me what workout and diet u followed for this?

[@aluuusch]

Muscle loss has always been an issue when I have been traveling and did not have the time to workout sufficiently. Not having a caloric deficit while walking for the whole day around is pretty hard, because you gotta sit down and eat a lot. Additionally, when you are traveling and seeing new places, you easily forget about food.

[@pokemankirito]

1:40 take it slow bro,and puts slowbro(pokemon)on screen that's genius

[@tayvonwolfe2499]

The calories part goes for weight gain as well, for most people always see getting fit as a part of losing weight and not gaining that. I used to be 134 pounds and I now sit comfortably at 161 with no additional weight on me. 3000+ calories a day, carbs, water, salt, and 6 days a week of 2 hour long work outs and I gained that weight in muscle in only a few months, about half a year. For all you skinny folk that’s tired of being the skinny guy or gal I advise you work hard man, no metabolism can keep you from gaining muscle if you work hard for it.

[@gregcarlson8438]

[@Sol-hm7ol]

I used to do cardio a lot but in my late teens I started getting migraines after any cardio so I just do weight training, I think diet is a lot more important that actual activity, since I’m fairly lean

[@thijs199]

Intermitting fasting I'm currently doing. 18/6 I eat plenty but I do cut my portions of non-keto lately (except I eat regular meat, because it's already expensive as it is and I don't eat grains bread but might change this and I eat dairy but I cut that a bit lately) and I try to avoid high calory foods. I take one shake, I probably can do 2 shakes. I don't eat before during and after my workouts, I work out every other day for 3 hours cardio and weights. cardio 50 min to 1 hour. I started with cutting junkfood and high on calory foods for almost 3 months now, and currently am taking foods that will prevent any auto immune disease (hence the fasting). Trying to lose weight at hard to lose it at places. Be patient, I don't know, I think you should be able to lose a lot of weight in 6 months time, like what I've seen I've lost by now, in the start it's faster but still, I think in 6 months time you should be able to transform nicely. You need results for your work otherwise you'll just lose interest at some points, like keep it up for 6 months, that isn't easy. When you have low fatpercentage in your body, I think then things really can be set off. Then you can just start gaining muscle. Until then your goal should be losing fat primarily. And I'm not crazily Keto in sense of, if I drink tea, I drink it with flavour if I want to and if I want honey, I'll take it (inside the 6 hours). But I do take the fasting pretty serious the last 4 days so. If I can keep that up for a month, that's 8 kg lost, so. kinda worth it because I hit a plateau in weight loss.

[@hobobro9445]

I've been in the state of newbie gains for the last 4 years smh

[@samueldhas8361]

If somebody can clear this doubt, it shall be good for me. Let's say, I have built muscles by working out and following a strict diet and good sleep. I stopped working out, but I still follow the muscle building diet and take the right calories to maintain my current weight. Will I still lose the muscles , despite following the right diet and calories? If the muscle is lost, will I still be in the same weight or gain fat?

[@omarelsherif4125]

This video came right on time for my cutting plan

[@seanwu6040]

It’s recommended to go on a keto(high fat) diet for short-term weight loss. Whether eating more health fats or protein to lose body fat, either way less carbs is generally better.

[@JohnathanLaFey]

be consistent and don’t eat garbage basically

[@lucreinink]

How did you come to the conclusion about protein? In the study itself it says: "Lean body mass declined by 1.8±2.2 and 2.1±1.4 kg, respectively, with no significant differences between groups (P=0.213)". It also says: "Conclusions: Increasing protein intake above habitual intake levels (0.9 g kg−1 per day) does not preserve lean body mass, strength or physical performance during prolonged energy intake restriction in overweight older adults."

[@PictureFit]

Which study are you looking at? This is the one I'm referencing about 2.4 vs 1.2 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26817506

[@PictureFit]

The one you're referencing pertains to beginners. As I've mentioned, 0.8g/kg is fine for beginners and overweight folks. Personally, I would still shoot for more for sake of satiety.

[@Ethan-tn4jc]

Love having this channel that I know I can trust when the bro-science can be so contradictory with itself and vague

[@honestlynate7922]

how does donating blood affect your ability to exercise during any given time? What can we do to better prepare ourselves for giving blood and still maintaining an exercise regimen? what are the importances of giving blood and are there any health benefits for those donating? and who benefits when we give blood? I love the way your videos are structured and I really believed that you could put forward an excellent example and answer all of those questions respectively

[@Greg_Chock]

As long as you are generally healthy, you body can regen your donated blood within 6 weeks. You get no benefits. It depends on who you donate your blood to but is usually goes to those in need from trauma or surgery. After you donate make sure to drink lots of liquids and eat something with iron (meat, chicken, fish, tofu, spinach). I have no study to back it up but I've worked out an hour after donating (not suggested) and not noticed any loss in performance.

I understand a lot of people don’t do cardio for athletic purposes, but I don’t understand why so many people hate cardio so much. Like I usually box 5 days a week and I run 2-3 times a week on top of that. Improving my cardio for boxing kinda motivates me to do it more but even besides that it’s not that bad

[@jacoblignaut9157]

Thanks for the video! I have one question, it involves swimming. Where does swimming fall in the spectrum between cardio and resistance training? I hurt my back/neck a few years ago and since I started working out it got worse..so I stopped doing weights and picked up swimming, now I'm not sure that is the right way not to loose all my Muscle but I really enjoy it and I feel great.

[@OLDACCOUNT740]

dust are you overweight? If not, stick to eating at a maintenance level of calories everyday and eat clean not junk food. If you are overweight, simply eat in a caloric deficit and you’ll lose weight and build muscle as a beginner. When it comes to training, follow a good beginner routine such as Starting Strength and StrongLifts to maximize your potential newbie gains. Just do 3 full body workouts per week and focus on increasing your strength on the main compound lifts (Squat, bench press, deadlift). When you begin to plateau in strength gain, you may want to start increasing your calories. Don’t worry about being lean and shredded all the time, you can lose the weight later very easily.

I get around 1200 calories per day and I noticed I'm losing weight but it's so slow it's demotivating me I want to be 85 to 80kg at the end of this month but I'm losing 2 to 1.5 kg per week

[@enakshisamarawickrama2750]

tariqo16 A healthy and sustainable amount of weight loss is about 0.5-1 kg per week. More than that is not sustainable in the long run as you’re probably not eating enough. Try to incorporate more exercise and a rich diet and the weight will slowly come off. This way, despite the weight coming off slowly, you’re unlikely to gain it all back again because you eat healthy and exercise enough. If you eat too little, once you get to your ideal weight, you’ll start eating as you did before, gaining a lot of the weight back. So in the long run, slow weight loss is actually better for you. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

[@madlolol8792]

There is one thing that does not make sense to me. If you allready are in a calorie deficit - say 2500 and 3000 for maintenance - logically you should lose weight/fat since you eat 500 calories less. Why would cardio make any difference you just burn more caloires thus this will result in higher likeability to hit a state of muscle breakdown. Good video and informative.

Is carb cycling really works? Muscle protein synthesis is high in 24 hours after training and carbs and insulin are necessary for that so if i train tonight and tomorrow is my rest day and carb cycling, what happens ?!

Sokhanrani ha I am doing the same. My muscles aren't growing fast but my body is getting toned really well. I am already down 1 week.

Great video again! What about when you, due to circumstances, had a few days of a too low deficit (say -1000)? Would having a refeed day (or a few) be useful, to minimize muscle damage to some extent?

I want to gain muscle as I have only 13% fat and 53% muscle, is it fine if I still use treadmill for warmup for 10min before gym always?

How much protein do I need ,is it 1 gram per kilogram bodyweight or 1 gram per pounds???,I'm curious :(

Does someone know if you stop working out let's say for few years, and then you start again. Does that make me you a beginner again ?!

Watched a video shot fasting while maintaining muscle. The body has become used to going days without eating from the hunger gather days while maintaining muscle to survive.
