Get the MOST out of your FITNESS/D&D/40K CONTENT with this mindset.

I'll be damned. Video about two things that I currently enjoy. Gym and TTRPGs. That YT algorithm is getting good.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Welcome friend 🙏

[@royart4781]

For me its the dnd and warhammer

[@PapaŽižek]

@@royart4781 those are still TTRPGs, so welcome brother!

[@linuszullig8427]

Just my thought

This guy is all my KZbin feed mashed together. O.o

[@aarondaviescoaching]

😂😂😂 that’s either awesome or awful; and I’m not sure I want to know the answer

[@kapusapu]

Sir, this is a hell of a targeting! Hat off!

[@aarondaviescoaching]

😂😂 not intentional, just chatting about things I like chatting about 😂

[@JohnContractor]

video hand picked from the Omnissiah with these handful niche topics and just dropping it on me. Thanks algorithm Great video, I'm definitely going to take this advice to heart and apply it.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

The Omnissiah works in mysterious ways. Appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed the video

[@Popsculpture]

Hello, what you're describing sounds like "tutorial hell". A good way to avoid that is to try to only look at tutorials or seek out new information when you're stuck rather than watching all that stuff passively or obsessively which I believe is pretty much the advice you're giving in this video. Really good call out and glad I came across this.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Tutorial Hell sounds about right 🤣

[@linuszullig8427]

A video about exactly my three hobbys damn

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Welcome to the club 🤣

[@aarondaviescoaching]

But if you had to pick one as your top fave …

[@SofaEaterLovesYou]

I 100% agree this is good advice. Unfortunately I have to keep telling myself that over and over again

[@aarondaviescoaching]

We’re all with you there

[@Putoaduh]

I definitely feel this with D&D content. I end up watching a lot of optimization videos and character builds, and I even make handfuls of characters who are optimized. At the end of the day, though, the characters I enjoy playing most do more than just combat.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Well said! We’ve all been there (and I keep going back there 🤣🤣). How long have you been playing ?

[@Putoaduh]

@@aarondaviescoaching I started at the beginning of 2021 playing with friends, but only half the group stayed interested. We ended up homebrewing a system based off 5e and haven't looked back.

[@JimGordon]

Thanks for this!

[@aarondaviescoaching]

My pleasure!

[@Gnosis_7154]

Very valuable message that can be applied to anything.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Thank you and yes absolutely. It’s just I only know three things 🤣

[@Finniganmydog]

As someone who lifts 5 days a week and DMs once per week, I just found this channel and I have to say it was like it was tailored specifically for me! 😂 Subscribed.

Welcome to the team

[@maxionventraug9015]

That thumbnail.... spoke to my soul

[@aarondaviescoaching]

😂😂😂

[@aarondaviescoaching]

That’s a good thing….right ?

[@JoicPersonal]

Bro your videos are awesome! Tabletops are super fun, and fitness is important and fun too! Awesome to see a guy who's uploading about both, I hope you'll upload more soon!

[@aarondaviescoaching]

I’ll be back later today (or tomorrow if my WiFi stays slow) with the next upload. Thanks for the comment 😊

[@firevvindovv]

Dam, I think I just found potentially my favourite YT channel :)

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Wow, thanks!

[@Tosolo-dh2co]

Great video bro!

Thank you

One issue I've noticed that applies a bit to what you are talking about is people being roped into hobbies and gaslighting themselves into thinking that's what makes them happy. I've had a friend that was a long time gym goer and he felt miserable, partly because people forced him into thinking that the gym would make him happy. Too many people get sucked into the idea that you NEED to do one thing or another to be happy while never actually trying things before hand on their own to find out what they like. Everybody's different and everybody wants to do/achieve different things in life. I love fitness myself, but I don't think its a must for everybody, some people devote time to art, science, fiction, their work etc. and don't have the time nor energy to indulge into other activities. Of course you shouldn't be a couch potato and not be somewhat active, that kind of limits you in actually doing what you want to do (energy levels, mood, health and so on), but there is an unhealthy obsession people have with forcing others into fitness that is imo very toxic. It basically devolves into shaming others for not having the same hobby and acting as the world revolves around their own interests. Also not to forget, great video!

[@aarondaviescoaching]

First of all I really appreciate the detailed and thorough response 😊. 100% on the gym front; there is a line between encouraging people to be active (good) and insisting that we all need to be crushing PBs every week & hitting the gym on every day that ends in “Y” (not so good).

[@aarondaviescoaching]

To continue… I think people can also find the gym less enjoyable because they’ve fallen into the trap of training in a way someone else enjoys. For example; somebody who follows a bodybuilding program but really enjoys circuits and going for a run on the weekend. I think “fitness”is a lot like other hobbies: there are lots of ways to get fitter and stronger get for health purposes and so most of us should just find the most enjoyable way to do so.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

I agree - people should be encouraged to be active rather than shamed into it. Also I hope you don’t mind me doing my responses in “chunks”. I keep going back to your original comment to make sure I don’t miss anything

[@dev_aro]

@@aarondaviescoaching Hahaha, No worries. I took some time writing it, but I feel like I wasn't as coherent as I could've been. Thanks for the response, I agree with what you added on to my comment wholeheartedly!

[@ADSCoachSimonB2112]

Thank you, I appreciate the advice and I would even say look at your pile of shame. If you got boxes of stuff not even opened up stop wasting time watching and get back to building and painting, if your lists of rides and gear and the next bike has you in your head, stop get out and ride the bike, then go for a trail walk, you don’t need every TTRPG book to play and 30 sets of coloured dice.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

I agreed with everything you said up until the 30 different coloured dice not being essential 🤣🤣🤣

[@itsYiyas]

Ironic but needs to be said honestly - bouldering content was my window shopping, especially since you can't do it every day, but I noticed that it was sucking the fun out of my actual sessions and ... not sure how to explain this but also satisfying some need to "go hard" as well; like watching people do amazing was enough for me to not try to do amazing (at my level). I had the same issue with calisthenics / yoga where you also can't progress quickly so you end up falling into content of the finished product to at least get a taste of what it is like.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Sounds like the same thing I do with Warhammer content 🤣🤣🤣

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Thank you for sharing

[@DiscoBarbarian]

+1 and sub for good advise well given.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Thank you

[@adrak91]

eat lots of eggs, wear magnifying googles to paint your minis, you don't need to know anything about D&D unless you're the DM in which case make it up

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Shhh don’t give away all our secrets 🤣🤣🤣

[@morewarhammer]

The Gimli clip 😂🤌🏻. Great video with some great advice.

[@aarondaviescoaching]

Knew you’d like the Gimli reference 😂
