How to Get in Shape (5 Simple Rules)

[@Strengthside]

As far as the movements go....these are just a few movements I like to use to warm up for sessions, or on days that I need a little conditioning or movement snack. Next video in series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGSkg3hmbt2neJI Make them your own! Instagram.com/thestrengthside

[@kuntyfucstik9340]

I absolutely concur. This guy has it sorted....no better advice out there.

[@SamuelAlder]

1. Activity / Movement 2. What you consume 3. Human Capabilities (focus on your whole body; Coordination, Balance, Agility, Adaptability) 4. Sleep (prioritize sleep & 5. "Do it with love"; follow what feels good for you, not for others or to punish yourself

[@cacadodo666]

You remind me a lot of my dad, and I learned a lot from him about body movement confidence. Men his age thought he was odd for constantly squatting, stretching, moving around and ducking obstacles as if here some kid. He'd play all sorts of games with us on monkey bars at the playground. Now that I'm 49 and have utilized his mindset in my everyday movement, and see men my age move as if they were 60-80, I appreciate my dad even more.

[@rickedwards1048]

Uncomplicated advice.......agree completely. I'm 67, and for the past 18 months have been strict about daily activity, regular weight training, 8 hours sleep, eating clean, and intermittent fasting. I feel the best I've felt in years. I also have pretty much given up alcohol, saving it for very special occasions.

[@lauriemcewen4456]

I’m on a simular path ! I’m also 67!

[@brightonmischief]

As someone who really struggles with exercise, and being motivated by it, what you've just said has given me a fresh perspective. Thank you.

[@offthechainfitness]

Don’t wait for motivation because motivation requires waiting for it to come and therefore unreliable.

[@chriswindberg5010]

Thank you for this. I've gone through many cycles in my life of being in better shape and not so great of shape. Currently, and for the past year or so I've been stuck in one of my lows of not great shape, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I usually struggle with having to figure out a workout routine, diet, or finding a motivation factor. After watching this though, I realize that "just moving" is much easier pill to swallow and feel like that just might be the simple mantra to help me start heading back up, instead of down, on my journey. Today is a new day. Thanks again.

[@r.hatten7506]

Stay encouraged. You’ve got this 😎!!!

[@RemnTheteth]

Every mistake and setback is an opportunity to grow. Be patient, and invest in the long term. We got you. Much love. let's do it!

[@aaron6806]

I am exactly the same. My general strategy is to make it almost impossible to not move. No equipment, no gym, just pushups when you can, pull yourself up on anything that's sturdy enough. As another person said, walk on weird things or climb the stairs differently each time. Even if you don't get in great shape the movement is good for that foggy noggin.

[@Strengthside]

you got it bro!

[@user-qj6nx9ss7v]

I was in the same boat. Just not knowing where to start. Hated bouncing around at the gym. I did the p90x program and lost 40lbs in 3 months. Did it again and lost more and got in pretty good shape. Try it. Easy to follow and knock it out in an hour or so. Good luck

[@manu4source]

For someone who's hooked into having a healthy, active and fun lifestyle.. since 9 months.. and lost around 95 pounds.. this is so right.. i started as a normal gym boy.. i met some interesting people who came to the gym like 2 or 3 days in a week but kept getting healthier and fitter.. i spoke to them and joined the group or cult lol .. we do lotssa different things every week.. Mondays HIIT Tuesday and Wednesday full body weight training.. Thursday we all meet at a park and walk or have fun at those pull up bars 😀 Sunday usually long runs or trekking.. we keep mixing it up.. sometimes it's just a group dance session lol.. every week we appoint a new leader.. and it's his/her final decision to plan it up.. Yes eating healthy and intermittent fasting helps a lot !! Do it for fun.. do it with love !! You'll never quit.. Cheers !!

[@jofitness9373]

This is so spot on! What I would add is to accept the process and keep it simple. I was super unfit and when I started getting fit I didn‘t have a morning routine, I hated the gym, I ate things I didn‘t really wanna eat, I didn‘t journal, all things that I‘ve changed now by listening to myself more. I don‘t have to lift weights in the gym if I like calisthenics better. But I had to give myself time to adjust, to try things out, to develop them into habits. I‘d say hold yourself accountable but accept yourself (this correlates with your no 5). I used to beat myself up over what I can’t do but I’m working on acknowledging the achievements and prepare for the next. I used to hate moving because I would get out of breath and feel awful so fast. Focusing on movement strength and endurance really got me into fitness. I couldn’t do it just for the looks or just for others. That isn’t a strong enough why for me. My why is moving my body.

[@ethangriffiths7802]

Just want to say I think your opinion on this is great. I’m someone whose been influenced by ideas from ido portal and similar characters; with the idea that you should move because you can and it’ll make you feel good. I find it refreshing and assuring to strip back fitness to the basics: practice for longevity of movement and to improve how you feel in your body.

[@Strengthside]

Very well said. I agree you need to push yourself but with compassion.

[@Avichuela82]

As a trainer and activity lover, this is one of the clearest and better videos i have watched about advice to be in shape or just for a healthy life. Great Job!

[@thatlumberjack]

[@RemnTheteth]

I've recently started time restricted eating. It's singlehandedly one of the best personal decisions I've made in years. There's a ton of science out there that supports doing this. And it's less about losing weight, and more about getting your body to adapt to using it's stores of energy, while regulating you blood sugar levels. I know the progress I've made in losing fat will plateau at some point, but in the first month, without changing anything else about my diet - I've lost a lot of fat off my body. And the interesting thing is I'm still at the same weight. Screw gyms. Just get moving, do bodyweight exercises. Love you future self enough to invest in you present self. I really love this channel. Stop bogging yourself down with too much information, focus on high level strategies to tackle whatever you need to tackle. Whatever you do, just start doing it. Be patient. Have a good weekend everyone,

[@ThePallidor]

The main benefit of time-restricted eating is that it gives your body a longer physiological rest period each day, so more&deeper cleaning and repair so that you make progress on that each day rather than getting more toxic and broken each day.

[@gman7644]

'Love you future self enough to invest in you present self'. wow, thats powerful, that was beautiful

[@Wil_Dasovich]

Love this format having you do different movements in the background over VO so we can get familiar with these exercises while we also learn about the main topic of this video 💯

[@jesusshowboy]

Its the compassion, empathy and love in his voice throughout this video presentation. Thank you. Love and blessings always!

[@orileyfactor08]

One of the biggest things that has set me on better results is being mindful of how I feel and reacting accordingly. If I'm too tired, I take an extra rest day. I used to keep going until burnout set in. If I rest instead of workout today, I make it a point to make it up the next day. Like you mentioned I have tried to limit and control my negative self talk. I am better each day, I am stronger, I am healthier. If I haven't hit the goal I wanted today, there is always tomorrow and I'm one step closer for trying. Switching from feeling obligated to hit a scheduled workout to really analyzing how I feel and reacting accordingly has been great for consistency. A good friend from work always says "the best diet or workout routine is the one you will stick with" I've kept that with me and it's helped.

[@normanquednau]

Hey Josh! Really great video again, mate. It hits the nail. To me, a great inspiration is also the philosophy of Georges Hébert, "méthode naturelle". He said all these things also an had a motto: "be strong to be useful". He divided eight fitness dimensions: walk, run, jump, climb, lift, throw, balancing, self defence, swim and quadrupedal movement. This french pioneer lived from 1875 to 1975 and was the role model of Parkour and MovNat. Cheers from Germany, Norman

[@michaelmontana0804]

By far…the very best advice and video I have ever seen. Well done. Rinse and repeat.

Excellent video. A huge YES to every point. I'd like to add to it too, learn to breathe properly as well as practice deep breaths. I do the Wim Hof 11 minutes every day and it has drastically helped my training, sleeping, and mental focus. Along with the 5 points in this video, and good eating, you can't lose.

[@adamblankenship5589]

This video has completely changed my perspective on exercise. I have forwarded it to so many of my friends. Shifting the dynamic from aesthetic goals to performance goals is genius. It's discouraging when you aren't seeing your stomach flatten or arms get bigger, but being able to objectively measure that you are stronger or faster is a game changer. I started watching your videos yesterday to add more effective stretching and calisthenics into my workouts and it's absolute fate that you posted this the day after. Thank you for sharing what you do.

[@K4R3N]

I don't even own a scale. I think weight is a bit of a useless metric. I recently dropped 30 lbs over a 2 year period and a barely weighed myself, maybe only monthly. Instead of focusing on my weight daily I focused on my "performance metrics" (run times, weight lifted in the gym) and those were more positive and motivating for me. The personal weight loss was simply bonus.

I'm 67 yrs old this end of April doing Tai Chi before 3hr. calisthenics and resistance band workout Mon. Wed. and Fri. on my 4th month with gains I didn't expect, I just wanted to workout. This video is true and humbling for anybody.

All that you've said in these few minutes makes perfect sense. I see it as taking a few steps back from the tree to see the forest. My home is up a steep gravel drive that's around 600 feet long. The mailbox is at the bottom by the road. I make use of that by fast-walking 5 or more laps up and down the drive, and pick up the mail on the last lap.

Fabulous message! To your point, right now I am training to do pull ups at the Marine's booth at the MN State Fair. Training every other day for the last 6 months using KZbin videos for reference. On the days in between I start the day with a 3 mile walk or 2 mile jog then either garden or mow the lawn, ( 8000 steps ). There are 16 hours a day that we are awake, so increase your activity to help keep yourself in good shape and health. It's not just about three 1/2 hour sessions in the gym. I'm 66 years old, 5'9, weigh 167 pounds. I'm working on loosing the two pounds I've gained since graduating from college. Can't do anything about the inch and 1/2 I have lost in height!

[@Buc-eesGurl]

Glad to see this info. My Master Chief, a Navy SEAL, who specialized in human performance was big on functional movement. What you show on this video is basically how he started us off to "warm up" before the big stuff he had planned for us. I didn't see the value in it at first, but over time I saw the difference in my body, but particular in my movement and what I was able to do than if I was just lifting. I'm emmencely grateful and am going to get back to this immediately!!

[@eapeters12]

Josh, so good! This is a goldmine and even though these are 'simple tips' I think they go super deep in life and movement. I am doing my best to incorporate this philosophy but feel I'm only scratching the surface. Thanks for the inspo! Along the lines of doing what you love, I might add: train for a specific sport, something you love. For me, it's surfing. And to the part about representing values: feeling good in my body&mind = feeling happy. connect movement/health/fitness values to a bigger purpose. I come back to things like energy for my day to be productive work-wise, longevity and being free of disease so I can be healthy for people I care about, and cultivating mastery, which affects all other areas of life.

[@Strengthside]

Nicely said man!

[@SwingingInTheHood]

I've been intermittent fasting for about 4 years now. I started Parkour training 2 years ago. At 67 years old, I regularly do many of the exercises in this video because -- Parkour trains your entire body to do a variety of movements: running, jumping, climbing, vaulting, diving, swinging, rolling, and if you're up for it (I'm not), flipping. I don't eat a lot, and try to cut back on the sugar (although I do backslide a lot). Oh, yes, and I also dance. Unfortunately, I don't get the sleep I'd like -- I suffer from some sort of insomnia (old age, I guess). But, overall, I'm in pretty good shape and absolutely love my life. I think I'm pretty much in line with these 5 rules (working on the sleep one), and I can attest they will help improve your health and life.

Very simple advise, we all know what has to be done .: exercise , eating clean , sleep , control stress , little or no drinking and no smoking.Thanks for repeating it brother.

Nice one. I’m into my 3rd year of what I now refer to as simply movement. Everyday is different and I can’t wait. Creativity, enquiry, exploration, is a big part of it for me. The biggest thing that helped me to start loosing weight after three years was simply, over time, having smaller meals, having seasonal fruit or fresh veggie juice for breakfast, snacking on my favourite raw veggies, carrot, celery, cucumber, and cutting right back on dairy, pasta, bread, rice, which now makes up less than 10 percent of my overall food intake.

I love how you emphasize that physique does not equal health. The way you take care of yourself is the main contributer to health. I cannot agree more.

I am 26 and I’ve recently suffered from anxiety induced weakness/ jelly legs the past month and it’s been awful. This is how I found your channel, trying to reduce anxiety and now I truly appreciate the small things like a walk. Before I only worked out in the gym and then I was pretty much sedentary.

[@dymonz2363]

Agree on so many things.. I´ve got a similar mindset on working out.. I dont even have a goal or anything.. I just love to become stronger and push myself.. The focus is on every little movement I do and the results always follow.. faster than you would imagine

These guys know what they are talking about. I can attest after going through their amazing primal athlete program. A few years back when obsessed with calories, horrible relation with food, bloated, gassy, low energy, I had an 8 pack and 9% body fat. I was able to sustain for a couple years, but I was miserable inside. It was a hard thing to admit, because I did like the way I looked. Everyone kept making positive comments, so why would I change what I was doing. The world had done an inception trick on me,.. no matter how immune I thought I was from advertising and what people thought. I now am 12% BF, getting the 8 pack back, incredibly more mobile and free in movement, eat differently paying attention to my mood swings and sensitivities, no calorie counting, no obsession over meal timing, need less sleep, energy through the roof, workout how I feel every day and generally just move my body a lot more. I kind of hate going to gyms now,.. its bizarre since in a past life I was a total gym rat. Listen to yourself and if you feel internal conflict spend time with the discomfort. You will not regret where it takes you.

As an ex-military I always had this mindset to bing active wherever and whenever you can great content definitely worth to follow!

[@rockjockchick]

It was very healing to hear you say these things. Thank you.

[@stephenwright133]

This is great advice! Movement and what you eat are crucial and not just sitting there day after day. Personally, my main key is getting a good night of sleep each day. That allows me to focus and be active during the day. Finding what you enjoy was also spot on. I found that I do like to lift weights a couple days a week. I also love walking and hiking 3 days per week and then mixing in a day of yoga which challenges my body in different ways for balance and overall health. I’m not saying this as a way to seek praise or criticism, but to show that finding your preferred ways to move doesn’t make it a chore or a workout anymore. It is who you are.

[@X17PHL]

That's so true for me, thanks for your words and vid. I stopped working on the physique and decided to push my distances, times and reps, and stuck to anything cardio. My body changed surprisingly rapidly and although my goals are different now, my physique is actually far superior to my 'old way' and I feel great, more chilled and healthy. Cheers

[@iancox7874]

Love how this is filled with a sick workout literally anyone could do any where

[@Strengthside]

thanks man!

[@lukegraham6528]

Fantastic, your comments gave me chills. You're clearly a well centred and logical man unaffected by the nonsense happening around us.

[@westfieldartworks8188]

I thought this was going to be a stupid video. I've never heard of this man before. God --- this guy is RIGHT ON THE DIME!!! I was very impressed with this video. He knows exactly what he's talking about. Thank you.

[@seanybzebra]

I've got a lot of time for this advice. It's about lifestyle and daily choices for movement not being regimented to rest and off days. It makes sense to me and sounds way more fun!
