I saw this just now and started to cry. I’ve always been overweight but active. As a nurse I was always moving and lifting things. November 2021 I was hospitalized with Covid pneumonia for a very long time. 17 days in ICU and another 5 weeks in hospital. I left the hospital on oxygen and I am still on it. I have gained so much weight and am in a health crisis. I completed pulmonary rehab recently but I’m still struggling. I’m still extremely de conditioned. I watched this and for the first time in all of this I feel HOPE. Thank you for getting it. Thank you.

[@elmhurstenglish5938]

Hope you're doing ok!

[@Nrsdesl]

@@elmhurstenglish5938 I’m getting there slowly but surely!! Thank you for thinking of me!

[@godloveskaren]

❤

[@cornypinkuni9519]

I hope you are doing better. If not, I hope you will find what works for you soon. What worked for me was a dna test that confirmed which Gene's were impeding my progress. Best thing I ever did for myself after 23 years of extremely low energy and many nearly useless doctors (with all due respect for their efforts), is I found a biochemist naturopathic doctor that was savvy about the past 20 years of genetic science and also able to read my bloodwork better than my MD. Life changing. I feel 23 again. Wishing loads of breakthroughs for you too.

[@maxpower8052]

Congratulations! Also, good luck to all overweight and deconditioned individuals reclaiming their fitness journeys!

[@MeMe-Moi]

This is awesome. I just started clubbell exercises from the video "The next 3 exercises for deconditioned people". The kettlebell exercises from the first video are still in my rotation (KB three days a week, clubs 2 days a week), and my posture has definitely improved (I measured at almost an inch taller than than last year). But more than that, I have regained the physical abilities necessary to live an independent life. I can get up off the floor, carry groceries, climb stairs, and walk on unstable/unlevel surfaces again. And this after only 23 weeks of work. I can't wait to see where I am at 52 weeks of work. Thank you for giving people like me an accessible entry point to making the changes we know need to happen.

[@HelixFitnessforCaregivers]

This is excellent. I am just getting started as a personal trainer for informal caregivers and most of them are deconditioned. It's been tricky to know how to build a program for people who need a foundation first, don't have the basics down yet, and need to build up their core to begin strength training. I'm glad you're tackling this, it is much needed!

[@Timeisaflat_O]

I've never watched a fitness/workout video and thought, "Yeah, I can do this." This is the first one. Thanks, man.

[@DerekVerLee]

Love this, as an individual who has been both overweight and badly injured, and in many respects deconditioned, I have been using ideas from many of your older videos, peicing them together with PT movements, tetris&nerd math ideas to make my own version. Can't wait to see how you built it out and see what ideas I can incorporate in.

[@sh0eh0rn4]

this program will probably be life-changing. I’m in the process of getting approved for weight loss surgery, and part of that requires some physical therapy. your advice is helping me reimagine my physical health, and giving me hope that I’m not too sick and broken to start living again. I plan to do the program when it’s ready.

[@jayboston9620]

Just discovered You thru BlackScoutSurvival… The club, Shield Cast has been Amazing for my shoulders after working 20yrs Moving 🙏 ThankYoU

[@icon0clast274]

On the final few days of week 4. The program is absolutely the best, my posture is massively improved and last night I standing overhead pressed a 12kg (26lb) kettlebell 55 times on each arm. Built up over 3 weeks. Cant wait to do another round with the next weight up!

[@pattysylvanbutterfly433]

Totally agree! I’m on cycle 1 week 4. Def improved posture, overall strength including core, better functional fitness when just moving/lifting in real life. Training pushes you just enough to go beyond your baseline, but not so much you hurt & want to quit…the Goldilocks sweet spot. Consistent, efficient, no-nonsense. Bought my next size up KB & Adex WM club/arc….this is part of my lifestyle now. Thanks Mark!

[@johnhubbard6262]

As an Overweight, Deconditioned, Destroyed, individual with an eclectic mix of super strong and super broken parts this actually looks like a program I could attempt without ending up back in rehab or under the knife. Your explanations of your products are getting better and better. They have gone from sales pitches to stepped approaches to health/healing that are world class

[@mikajulin]

This is awesome. I was an unconditioned and overweight individual. Followed your original kettlebell and tetris of training videos and am now in the best shape of my life at 35 years old.

[@patricksmith8262]

I'm reasonably fit and functional, but after numerous injuries, struggle with mobility (mainly lower body in my case). The biggest challenge in my experience, is that too many programs assume mobility that many people don't have. And don't have realistic strategies to help people get there. Would love to see a program that takes people from virtually no mobility to normal range of motion. I've tried different programs, been to physical therapists, etc. They all either assume a certain, unrealistic level, or don't know what to do. A zero to normal mobility program would probably be the biggest benefit to most people

[@michaellacy8510]

Much appreciated! The people who need it most have the least ability. This should be a great series.

[@MelissaFortune]

[@bryanchrist8876]

That word decondition, has become huge in my life and my family's life later. My wife works at home, sitting in front of the computer. And she said to me a little while ago that she now "feels very deconditioned". That word opened up the door of opportunity for us to start training together and has allowed me to introduce to her Kettlebell work and modified body weight movement exercises. Gkad to say, She has had progress with weight loss, strength, and immobility since that start. As a society, I believe the physical deconditioning of people has increased. So Thank you for this.

[@crayzmarc]

Love that you filmed so much in Italy. Beautiful times leading to more beautiful things to come.

Beautiful. I can feel the inspiration you have given so many people in this condition. I have many of your programs. Don't hesitate. These are professional, affordable and doable. You finally have a way out. Let's go!

[@PatrickCatrick]

I hope your message reaches many cultures and populations.

[@adreamclellan6924]

Signed up. Looking forward to an email when it's released. There are few reasons I haven't joined a gym. Yes, the #1 reason is how many sizes I've went up and deconditioned I've become. I want to turn this around to continue to do what I enjoy with ease and without pain as I age. I've been trying some of your kettle bell moves but lack consistency. Thank you

[@JosephAlanOliveros]

I absolutely have benefitted from the original TRAINING FOR OVERWEIGHT INDIVIDUALS. I've lost a sizeable chunk off from my body - from 200lbs to 130lbs and I largely credit yoga, a good diet & Mark/Wildman Athletica for this transformation! Regaining the flexibility and mobility I've had as a kid (I'll be 46 this September and have been practicing martial arts since 7 years old). This new or updated version of the program still offers valuable insights to supplement my current training regimen.

[@bandiceet]

This is perfect timing. I had been following alot your tutorials on base KB and 1 hand club work. I had found a lot of advantages (my posture improved immensely, huge improvements in the mobility of my shoulders, gain in strength) but I simply was not loosing inches from the fat around my stomach. This flab is preventing me from advancing in both technique, and complexity, so thus not being able to gain all the advantages of the exercises.

[@firdausariff]

Wow, exactly the kind of thing I needed two years ago when I started my fitness journey. Back then had to figure out the math manually based on Mark's old videos. Made progress from 2kg to 12kg Kettlebell and from 2kg to 6kg club.

[@godloveskaren]

I am so glad this is available, just subscribed!

[@MarkWildman]

It has three sections currently. The Indian club section is my favorite. I have 50 planned additions

[@godloveskaren]

​​​@@MarkWildman What is the difference between the 4 week kettlebell + club vs the 8 week integrated club track? I'm not severely deconditioned. Does it matter which one I start with? I could not find a way to contact you about program questions on the actual website. Hopefully you will see this and let me know. PS I really like the videos!

[@benturshen]

Important work, Mark. Great you put this together. Separately, is there a video that explains difference between the C&P programs?

[@HaroldCundal]

Awesome Mark! When is it going live? Still says coming soon...

[@tigergirl906]

This is awesome! Totally resonated with me and the work I’m involved in Mark. Your good heart invested in important work shining through ❤

[@hazelmaines2040]

Yeah imagine if GPs could refer people to this instead of just saying exercise more and eat less 😀

[@kristanmcwardt2636]

150 kg here 🎉 you are totally right in your experiance that overweight peeps cant find nice content so easyly. Most of the time you have to leave out or change exercises, cause you can't do em. Chances of injury are higher. With gym maschienes the problem is that some positions are just not comfortable cause the maschienes in gyms don't fit that kind of body type all to well. Thats the biggest point with gyms for me. Many people there are actually nice. But your stuff as well, as turner and other indian club and mace stuff works nicely for starters...and club and kettlebell upright exercises as you and some others programm are very doable. Ive been inspired by your vids and been clubbing for 3 1/2 month now without injury ..but damn did the bands in the hand hurt the first 2 month. Then i took a week off for recovery and i am fine. Started an 2 kg club then 4 kg now am at 6kg ;)

[@powertrip1050]

Thanks for the efforts. This is definitely an underserved area. “Conventional Fitness” practitioners are injuring deconditioned people every single day.

[@CarbageMan]

Ah! I could have used this a couple years ago.

[@JarlSeamus]

I feel called out, LOL. I'm a sedentary, broken older veteran. I need to start like an infant. Thank you Mark. Also, is that Puerto Rico? It looks a lot like Old Fort San Juan.

[@wrylife57]

You will reach an underserved population with this program and I can't wait to see how it works for me. Thank you! FYI, to answer the question of why others do not program for the deconditioned and overweight, it's simply because they do not like to look at us. We do not merely feel uncomfortable going to a gym, we are truly not welcome there.

[@mikeriches4174]

I have thoroughly enjoyed yhe decondituoned program this is my 3rd month They are have been gigantic changes to my strength and overall fitness. I am very excited for intro to kettlebells when is the release date for this program. Thank you for your commitment to this neglcted portion of the fitness community. Best Regards

peripateo is noun ?

It is a figurative use for a journey of change but also refers to the covered walkway around a meeting area, gymnasium, or park. Like the place Socrates would go to challenge people to assess their assumptions.

I started the TOI program two weeks ago. Week #1 was easy (as you designed it to be). I did the first day of week #2 then got sick with a cold bug that sidelined me for 5 days (so far). I'm looking for advice on how to continue the program. Do I restart week #2 after I'm over this cold? I'm so disappointed with this setback.

[@kuhim]

Just wondering where were you filming this? Were you in Croatia, somehow it looks like it...😊

No promise that you are six weeks away from a beach body? No guarantees of rapid weight loss, and that all you will ever want to wear from now on is spandex and wood stain?? Vive la révolution! 🍀🍀

[@n34z3r]

How much is the program? I saw a breakdown of $30 each month (which is up my alley).

[@peacal247]

12 sets of 5, then go up in weight in a small increment and start back at 3 sets 5. Is that correct?

[@briane4753]

Can this program work with an Adex club? I got one a while ago when I saw your original deconditioned videos using the club (inside, outside, shield cast). Sounds like this one is more designed for a kettlebell though.

[@themanwithnoname7957]

Should be able too. Mark did mention you could do the program with a baseball bat. Your Adex Club would have a very similar shape.

[@MarkWildman]

This has options: dumbell and bat, dumbell and mace, kettlebell and bat, kettlebell and mace. The club specific part will be added in a month. I’ve focused on gear that people can get anywhere. Clubs are harder to get

@@MarkWildman Enjoying my Brooklyn Basher at the moment. Going to use wheel weights reinforced with duct tape to make it heavier to start before I splurge for the adex club. BTW, the bat is 1 in diameter, orginal adex is 1 in handle, fat I think is 1.2 and Wildman is bigger still. What size handle should I go for? I'm 5'1"ish, smaller hands with musician fingers. What would you suggest?

[@patytrico]

Hi! Is this program doable for women or you could recommend any other? Thank you. I really want to do it but no one seems to understand that floor or jumping exercises are a big no-no!

[@lorrainek36]

I'm a 59 yr old woman, there is no jumping, only floor is for stretching in the cool down. I"ve done other programs and cannot do the jumping as well. This is simple follow along, just try it for 1 month and if you like it, keep going. Even 2 weeks into my first cycle, I feel really good

[@pattysylvanbutterfly433]

I agree. I’m cycle 1 week 4. Program is great for women too. No jumping. Floor is for some warm up, cool down stretches only, and could probably be modified to a bed if you absolutely can’t do them on floor.

[@kd-mi4mi]

Can the program be scaled back to 2-3 days a week instead of 5? For new people starting training, it can be difficult mentally to get yourself to work out 5 days a week

[@tseetzett1848]

It's probably scaleable as are most of Mark's programs. Don't see it as a workout but as a seriea of short daily skill building session that enhance your bodys ability to do day to day stuff. Consistency is king

[@MarkWildman]

I will re write it

[@lizziehannigan1420]

What about if I have ever done deadlifts my hamstrings are the only things activated and they get so inflamed.

[@lorrainek36]

I'm into the 2nd week of the program, it's very doable. You just follow along. You can raise the level for the deadlift, so you don't have to go so deep. You take it one day at a time... it's truly awesome. Try it for a month to see if you will stick to it.

I think the simple term is out of shape. I'm 59 and cannot do what I used to be able to do. Deconditioned is a polite way of expressing that. I joined this program 2 weeks ago and I can say it's legit. It helps you move again and more importantly live again.
