Give yourself time to see changes... To lose major weight it takes 2 years. Small changes do add up over time. Don't give up! 😊👍

[@primatt]

crazy how over the course of a month or two you’ve literally become part of my routine! I could honestly listen to you talk about ANYTHING for hours. You’ve a way of telling stories that keeps me engaged the whole time. Glad to see you uploading regularly, keep it up you’re killing it man✌🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Ivearted]

Same! KZbin has hooked me up with some of my favorite band of all time too!! ❤

[@apexstrategy9833]

Watching non edited vid content is very refreshing, rare quality of content is hard to find, your channel is like what YT used to be before google and monetization ruined the platform,

[@gentbehindascent]

I don’t edit bro

[@omgurheadsgone]

Working out is the single thing that keeps my mental health in decent shape. I have to do my 2-3 hours of lifting and hitting the punching bag everyday. Then I can get on with my day. Another dope video brother!

[@monicawelch649]

Ok I did it! I did 5 solid push ups! It's harder than you'd think. Awesome. This video is right on. I know my biggest enemy is myself; the enemy within. Thanks for this video Joey; I'm going to use it to motivate myself. And I want to read that book you mention.

[@Juliana_So_Unique]

Don't forget to do it tomorrow. After work. Give yourself a couple hours to wake up though.

[@delboywowsers]

you can do it Monica! health is wealth! the important part is doing it on days when you don't want to do it, i believe in you!

[@cr-nd8qh]

Hell yeah I could do like 60 push ups 3 years ago now I can barely do ten

[@kennylindahl2885]

I used to do 200 pushups at work every day, just took a few minutes of break and did as many as i could. I ended up being able to do 60 pushups in one go. You might think that co-workers believe that you are crazy, but in the end they will respect you for doing your thing and the discipline. Anyways, you should not care about what people think, even if it' difficult to ignore.

[@monicawelch649]

Follow up: So I've learned alot about pushups since first watching this video. I'm not sure what you'd call those 5 things i did, a few times, that day, but it was not an official push up. But I found a "beginner's push ups" video here on KZbin that really helped me. So I'm using a chair of a counter or something about 2 feet off the ground to do push ups from. And I'm doing 10 reps, twice a day, 5 days a week for now. I'm working to build my upper body strength, and hope to do a set of "real"push ups soon! This video was my inspiration!! Starting from where I'm at, doing what I can to get in shape, feels great!!

[@valkyrie9024]

That’s awesome that you love to read & keep yourself in such good shape. I think you have your shit together better than a lot of people & the way you talk, I can see you have a good heart. 💚

[@LFlowers36-o3p]

Beating the enemy within. I love that! I did just that. 18 month I have been going to the gym. I’m 50lb down and actually have biceps showing. I have another 20lb-ish to go. I am often the only girl in the large gym area where all the blokes are and yes I am now that confident to do that. I feel fabulous. I’m working on cardio stuff and mixing it up more so heart rate is up and down. I love listening to you. You always have a nugget of wisdom. Peace and love!😍

[@Jamestele1]

I was a skinny teenager, and I started working out at 17, with a bench in my basement. After 6 months, I ran into some friends and they could not believe how big I was. I got very strong. Since then I've always been more concerned with cardio health. I run on an elliptical and do pushups. For a middle aged guy, I don't have blood pressure or clogged arteries. I stay a lot thinner than most guys in their late 40s. Most diabetic American men like to say "I'm a big man", but they're really just fat" big, wide rear end and narrow shoulders. They just need to start walking the block, then start jogging the block, then a mile, etc. The weight will start falling off.

[@butnevertheless5401]

Had to get back to this video to thank you. This video gave me motivation to start working out 3 months ago after many years without any physical activites, I was skinny and weak, I still am skinny lol, but im stronger. It has become a habit for me to workout at least 3 times a week now. There is no stopping now, it's a routine!

[@siouxgirl2703]

💜🐷💜 I was walking 5 miles a day at the beach when my boyfriend was dying. Sometimes twice a day if I was extra stressed. Just put some music on and walk. Great exercise and stress reliever.

[@Juliana_So_Unique]

Don't put any music on! JUST put some music on. Giddye Up!

[@karenbenson1359]

I just did 50 pushups, thanks for the motivation!!!

[@bopperette7260]

I've never used a gym in my life. I can't stand them. Running outside and doing the rest at home or with a friend suits me much better. You're quite lean Joey. Good job on keeping up with fitness even in hard times. Your body is your temple 💪😊

[@esotericknowledge111]

[@davidmorgan2428]

Your a very nice person to give people confidence and motivation like that Joey, I wish you all the very best for the future and all the best for your dreams my friend.

[@cheriehigbee7349]

I agree with you Joey. I've been working out for the last 32 years, it is just part of my daily routine and I look forward to it. Also I eat 2 meals a day and eat just until I am full not stuffed. Never felt better!

[@Juliana_So_Unique]

Just just just Just just just. You people. Just. Sports. Just Just Just. Just this. Just that. Just so full. Just so sad. Just so much traffic. Just Jus just. by boyfriend Justin. Just just.

[@CalvinStoneTalks]

Great video man been walking over 10 miles everyday since new year and feel great

[@ctaber2011]

Man, your channel is blowing up bro! Your totally right, all you need is pushups, situps, dips, your all good.

[@ctaber2011]

Ya i have a buddy he's a former golden glove boxer, he used to do 2000 pushups a day, he took his shirt off i almost shit myself, im a bigger guy but his chest was ripped.

[@omgurheadsgone]

Don’t forget body weight squats and pistol squats! Everyone forgets the legs haha.

[@Indigenous_Rambo]

Keeping it simple is key. I stick to pushups, pull-ups, squats, situps, and dips. I record my reps on a spreadsheet. Seeing the numbers has always kept me motivated.

[@chaymendez9404]

Thank you for this !! Straight up, honest about all positives AND negatives, dedicated, disciplined . Congratulations on all of this much more than most people can say👏 you’ve inspired me to get my shit together. Not only for looks, but bumming around not moving my body is straight up not healthy…thank you brotha🙏

[@jonhutchinson2902]

Facts. Exercise and staying in shape is key to feeling good mentally and physically. I also agree that you dont need a gym or weights to get into shape.

[@VirginiaWolf88]

Awesome Video. Very motivating. Thank You Joey!!!!

[@Florida_nikk]

Joey love listening to your life story bro. You seem like a real one! I’m back to work so life will get better soon. 57 days off a fetty and I feel 100 x better. Keep the videos coming my boy…

[@tomcatt9875]

I was gonna start this sunday ; But i got off my ass and did 12 good pushups , i'm 64 and injured my wrist last july 4th ; so i couldnt do much ; thanx for the motivation Joe

[@lilliandarling2016]

Hey neighbor. I’m in Ft. Myers, FL. You’re so right. I was thin until I got to my mid 30’s. Raising kids, working long hours, etc. lead to the pounds creeping on. Then, throw on the love of candy & sweets- I was gone. In 2016 I became an avid runner (loved running for hours) & I lost weight (only focused on calories in vs out) but stopped running to work a 2nd job (my son is @ university). Starting eating all the crap again. In 2022 I lost 69lbs (204 to 135) but this time I learned about nutrition (carbs & sugar). It’s amazing how much bad food is around us. Healthy nutrition & movement is key. Sure, a treat is fine occasionally. Love your videos!!

[@jugbeats476]

this vid in particular is such a relief to me. i have been skinny all my life, constantly thinking of working out but put off by the fact that i just aint that big on eating (or eating the right things), used to waste my food and get told off for it as a kid daily like u too. im jus gonna go for it after listening to what u said what have i got to lose.

[@bryanduchane2371]

How many homeless people actually worry about fitness??? Your a unicorn!!!

[@danielt9656]

Great, realistic advice brother. I’m trying to live my life by just making one small choice to lead me in the right direction at a time. 100 small good choices are a lot more beneficial than 1 big half assed choice that never gets followed up on.

[@Juliana_So_Unique]

don't make one small choice when you can make JUST one choice!

[@nicoharken6704]

Thanks for the vid, Joey. You inspired me to start working out again. Every pushup I do I view as 1 step closer to being mentally stronger. Thank you and I love your personality. Can't wait for the next vid.😁😁

[@CatalinaFOIA]

2:02 YES! I'm so thankful, as a woman, that I was a competitive swimmer at 16 & 17. I worked out a ton. I gained 18# of muscle in 1 season, along with 6 pk abs and my waist to hip ratio is perfect. One thing I noticed that I didn't want was big shoulder/neck muscles that some female swimmers developed. I guarantee all those laps and flip turns have helped me my entire life. I'm 41 now and have had 1 baby, I'm still 5'8" and 125 lbs., my 6 pack abs helped me through pregnancy at 34 yrs old, had a c section and bounced right back by nursing my baby for 15 months. I love my body, but hate my back. Back gave out at 19, thank God I've never been overweight. Neurosurgeons like that I'm physically fit and trim. My back is 100% genetic and not due to any injury or being overweight. Women wonder how I have a fit body that looks like I'm 21 when I'm 41... it's from being a competitive swimmer 🏊‍♀️

[@debbiemclennan438]

I think you're going to escape the usual "unfit diseases" that plague so many of us after 40. You're a real inspiration and a testimony to what " defeating the enemy within" looks like. I did kind of chuckle at the part of the story where you shared about your dad giving one dumbbell to your brother, and one to you. I didnt want to accept the metaphor there, but your dad might have had a point. " Control thy dumbbell, and you wont BE the dumbell". Your dad was a smart guy. Thanks, Joey.

Thanks for the nugget about the enemy within. That hits hard. Speaking of the enemy within, just watched a video about parasites within the body having control over your mind. Would like to hear your thoughts on the subject. Thanks man!

[@thirdtrumpet4446]

Very good advice here - putting in the work regularly is the key as you said (I've also worked out since teenage - but since last year I've struggled with regularity and the negative affect are clear - Also that "not eat before bed" - there is actually no proof on this being true - I've also eaten the days biggest meal just before bedtime and it works for me too. ....and that enemy within...you said it. I need to work harder - motivating video

[@mightymisery]

I'm typically on a fairly high dose of anti d's and I've occasionally come off them for reasonably long periods of time, exercise, nutrition and the meds are the ideal combination but I can honestly say with a high amount of certainty that the nutrion and the exercise are by far superior to the meds. I cannot function without my weight training regardless of how much meds I'm taking. It's not a matter of 'I feel proud of myself' because I seldom do but it has a deep neurological affect that is completely separate from whether you hate yourself or not. Its fundamental. Most people will experience crippling depression and it can often stem from a specific vitamin deficiency, ie zinc or vitamin d. If you're at your whits end and wondering "why aren't the meds working, am I doomed to feel this way forever?" Please for the sake of everyone who loves you, try and sort your diet out for a couple of months and see if you feel any better.
