Get Back To An Active Lifestyle: Training For Overweight-Deconditioned-Individuals

[@andyh3065]

What I love is how real you are about this subject. No “magic bullet” or unrealistic expectations. It’s refreshing to hear someone say “it’s a 5 year plus program” and this day and age where people want results yesterday, often without putting in any work. Thanks Mark.

[@MarkWildman]

I’m Building a 10 year program because everyone should be able to enjoy a healthy body and an adventurous life

[@Profile.4]

Most people can lose 100lb and get in good shape in a year though. If they really want to.

[@MarkWildman]

Most people think they get in good shape in one year. Most people never actually learned to move.

[@Profile.4]

@@MarkWildman so if I was 20 years old, mobile and pain-free but 100lb overweight and followed your programs for a year as I lost the weight, you don't think I would achieve a solid baseline level of fitness? What would really be the difference of what I could do after one year vs five years besides heavier weights?

[@davidfilan4186]

I am a 55 year old former athlete (in my mind, at least, LOL) who needs to rebuild myself. I would like to lose 40-50 pounds, but my discipline is lacking. You are an inspiration, and I am glad I found your channel back in 2020. Thanks for all you do.

[@MarkWildman]

You can do it. All you have to do is start

[@fruitytarian]

It's funny how the idea of needing 2 years or 5 years has been more motivating to me than "6 weeks to get shredded", "lose belly fat in just 30days!". I'm in it for the long run, bought my first kettlebells two years ago and I'm still grinding away, planning my next weights, learning new moves...I love it so much! 🤓

[@strongishguy683]

I want to be able to get up from the floor by myself until the day I die. Squats have been such a help for me. Videos like yours, telling me that I deserve to be an athlete and meet my goals, have been the single most effective motivation I've ever had. Everyone reading this deserves to meet their goals. Deserves to move and live without so much pain and difficulty.

[@neurospicyrainbow]

you are awesome!

[@MeMe-Moi]

This is great! As a recovering deconditioned person myself, this understanding of the specific challenges for deconditioned individuals to even start training is really rare and much needed.

[@MarkWildman]

I wrote this for a friend with a spinal injury and a person with a heart transplant

I think you are _literally_ the only person that understands this. I don't understand why not more fitness professionals or even dietologists don't understand the basics of solution-focussing within a weight-loss jump-started lifestyle change.

I have been waiting for this. Will use it to train my 82 yr old mom, who is in a lot of pain. But she is motivated. She believes in you and your ideas Mark, and in me to help her do the program.

Finally a program I feel comfortable paying for knowing that it won’t overwhelm my wife and will get her back on the right track.

[@MarkWildman]

That is the idea. I will edit based on your comments. Tell me how understandable this is. It’s been tested but larger population yields better data yields better program. It will be edited every week for at least 2 years

I've been doing single-arm inside cycles, outside circles, and shield casts for two years and I'm up to 30lbs. starting at 10 lbs. I'm a believer 💪

[@alwinvrm5801]

64 year old male with plantar fasciitis, knee and walking problems, and therefore lob sided and taking the stairs one step at a time. I tried 5x5 weights, running, etc. I became a bit stronger but not better; still lob sided, still the same aches and pains. Started with 5 reps per set of the 3 exercises for Overweight-Deconditioned-Individuals and a 6 kg bell. 6kg only because my right shoulder hurt and I couldn't stand up straight properly. In my third week I was able to walk down the stairs like a regular person , one step one stair step down for the first time in 10 years. Plantar fasciitis seems to have gone, I lost weight and I walk straight. A huge thank you for the program that really improved my life. I am now into my second cycle with a 10 kg kettlebell.

I never knew what it was called.. "deconditioned" this is what happened to me .. I became so weak hardly being able to stand for any time at all ..metabolic issues/thyroid and fibro a back injury after falling from loss of balance and such a number of times.. so this has given me so much hope!! Thank you!

Once again, Mark proves that he is, hands down, the best fitness expert on KZbin. So much good information in less than ten minutes.

[@paramoose]

Mark...THANK YOU!! I am truly grateful that I discovered your program and truly wish I had discovered it sooner. I am 54 years old, pretty deconditioned and am carrying around at least an extra 100lbs on my 6ft frame...9 years ago I ran a half marathon (slowly) and now I would be hard pressed to do a 3k. I took a shot at getting back to the gym a year ago and ran into the exact problem you talk about. A personal trainer that tried to have me do a bunch of exercises I was just not physically prepared to do. Nice guy but just did not get how restricted my capabilities were despite my feedback & discussions of what I was looking for...core stability & movement ability. I am now just finishing week 4 of my first cycle through the TOI program and doing the Indian clubs at the same time. Workout in the morning and clubs when I get home from work. I have been using the 6-12kg KB and a baseball bat and I really enjoy this program. I am noting improvements in how I move, get up from sitting, my posture, etc. all just using the lowest weight levels. I have even lost a few pounds in the process. As a bonus, I really enjoy the workouts, even these last cycles with 11 & 12 sets!! The daily motivational videos as well as your detailed explanations of the nerd math, why & how the exercises work is the difference. It has all helped me reset my thinking from "I can't" to "I can" with the ramping approach. I am looking forward to restarting the program with the Adex club I just ordered on Black Friday as well as ticking up the weight a little. Also splurged a little for a hydracore bag for when I have to travel. If anybody out there in a similar place in life and are considering this program, DO IT!! I splurged on the adjustable kettle bell but went down to Goodwill and picked up an old bat for $5 to get me through the first cycle. You can do this totally on the cheap like Mark states repeatedly. Follow Mark's sage advice, get moving and start getting better!!

[@RAINSMAN79]

I’m doing this program and I am completely sold. After a couple cycles I’m starting the next progression program.

[@kumbazzz]

I had gut issues that made me drop from 260 lbs to 180 lbs in 2020, lost all my muscle mass and could barely swing a 12kg for 10 reps, barely press an 8 for 5 reps and couldn’t deadlift a 20 more than 5 reps or so. I did those and added inside/outside circles with a 2kg longish hammer and shield casts. A bit over two years later I could swing a 48, snatch a 24 and press an 18, I do reps of inside circles with the 10kg, shield casts and mills with the 8kg, mace 360’s with a 10kg Glad I found your channel in 2020, you helped me out a lot.

Questions for future videos: How to best use the program to heal old injuries that were not fully rehabilitated, and which emerge after X days, weeks, or months into the program? How to handle the soreness and stiffness which will likely emerge? How to adjust the program if the subsequent soreness is more than just uncomfortable and too exhausting to recover in time for day one of the next week? How to be vigilant for the temptation to do more than the program prescribes? What would be helpful to flow over and away from this temptation? The answer seems obvious but what would be helpful to avoid making such a mistake? Saw that the program provides daily motivational videos from you. Truly excellent. Is there a best way to buy a 4 or 10 cycle subscription for a friend?

i honestly subscribed to your channel a couple years back and haven't watched any of your content in a long time, when all of a sudden i came across this woman using a macebell on IG. i thought to myself "how cool is that, another variation of a kettlebell!".. so i went I searching macebells on youtube and here i am at your channel again. the universe brought me back to your content at the same time you come out with a program for overweight deconditioned individuals -like myself. i haven't bothered any form of exercise in years bc it was always too difficult or uncomfortable for me being 100 lbs overweight. you explain it so well why all these programs fail people like us and why we end up throwing in the towel so fast.

I am 39 years old, 5 feet tall weighing 70 kgs .. I used to work out. But then I’ve had some injuries - I have had 2 torn ligaments and a torn Peroneus Brevis tendon in my left ankle (7 year old which has never fully healed). The tendon injury spiked up this year again and I’ve got a lot of physiotherapy done for it which has helped - but I’ve been told I need to build strength and stability. I started doing beginner workouts for a few weeks recentky but got slight shooting pain in my right knee last week - especially when I squat or lunge all the way down to the floor. Walking is fine. Childbirth, injuries and a sedentary job have contributed to my situation. Basically right now, my upper body is injury free. Lower body not so much. I do have kettlebells at home - 4, 6 and 8kg and am comfortable with doing swings. I do have dumbbells at home - 1, 2 , 3, 5 and 7kgs I do not have clubbells. Would this program be suitable for me or do I need to get physiotherapy for the knee first ? I am based in India, so may not be able to follow the video real-time . Are these video recordings that can be watched any time and can they be cast onto the television?

Liking the empty parking spaces that are allocated for disabled people in the video background. Is that the vision, less people need the spaces as they become conditioned for physical persuits via this program?

I so desperately need this. I had a fall followed by a failed back surgery in 2015 that did nothing for my pain. I keep trying but eventually give up because of pain or because I just don't know what to do. It has been overwhelming and depressing.

[@chadmace3355]

Mark - I have a three prong approach to fitness... Yoga in the mornings (most days) and then I alternate "kneesovertoes / ATG" with your kettlebells, clubs and maces. never felt better. life long lower back issues look yo well their way to being resolved. greatly appreciate the guidance! Next to add for me is interval running. with my back on the mend, definitely an option for me. Also been a huge help for my golf game. just love the challenge. I've come up with a few additional exercises. let me know if interested.

Mark, I've been following your content for years and have done atheist one cycle of your 2h heavy club, bodyweight, and intermediate kettlebell programs. I'm a somewhat fit individual and I'm seen by my family and friends as a fitness fanatic. How do I sell this program to them if they're not into fitness in the first place. I have been overseas for a while so I'm not able to guide them through workouts and slowly motivate them to stay on track. I would love to get them the program but I fear they won't have the discipline to keep with it. For instance I have two family members that suffer from depression and I know that if they start moving more they would feel better more often. I also have a mother in law with lupis and she's scared of anything fitness related due to her recovery time being impacted by the sickness. She's also scared of what people would say since she's a deconditioned individual. Any suggestions?

[@lanayabaker]

Can I do this? My right leg is 1+ inch shorter. I had a spiral fracture at mid shin. My fib snapped at ankle and at knee. No surgery due to massive soft tissue damage and obesity. I was 5’10” and weighed 285. When I got a walking cast the fracture was not healed enough and the bone slipped. My upper tibia overhangs the lower portion and is 3-4 degrees rotated outward. I ended up with a bulging disc, scoliosis, osteoporosis in my hip on my “good” side from over work with every step. I have failed in all my attempts to get a shoe that is the right height that I can walk in. Long story. My right leg has become weaker And weaker over time. My glutes are completely uneven in strength. To make it more complicated I have an abdominal fascia hernia from below and right of my navel to upward about 8 inches. It started off slow at a brittle scar tissue site from a drainage tube from an early in life surgery. I ignored it and It got worse over time when I was working out in the gym doing wood choppers! The one caveat is that it relieves some pressure on the bulging disc in my back. I have fallen many times with my center of gravity off and my right leg weaker and off kilter. It can’t feel the ground with those lifts on my shoe either. The workouts I have done and the falls have resulted in torn meniscus on right knee that I did not have surgery on and a loose ACL on left side. No surgery. Can I do this program and will you help me?

Are you working on a nutrition conditioning program or ideology to reprogram people how to eat to boost the programs even more.

The home page isn't working. I want to do my exercises. I've done multiple cleaning and clearing of cookies, etc., still can't get to my program. Any suggestions?

[@MarkWildman]

I’ll check

On Kajabi portal or website

Everything is working on my end. I’ll keep looking for a problem. Which home page. The home page of the toi program. The homepage of the website?

@@MarkWildman I got in! Thanks.

[@godloveskaren]

Okay, it happened again, on the Wildman site. But I can click on the link in this video, which takes me to Kajang, then I can get in.

Did you hit the like button? What, you don't want people to improve their life?

Hi mark, i bought this program but some things are a little bit unclear without asking them up on discord or your other youtubevideos. 1: in the program under “what weight am i working toward” as a starter weight, you mention start as light as possible working towards 12kg kettlebell. But that doesnt include the clubbell does it ? What would you reconmend here? 2: warmup/cooldown, as far as i can see you have not included instructions for those ?! They are immediately demonstrated in the follow-along videos. I know now you have playlists for warmup/cooldowns wich is great, so thats no a problem but maybe the videos for the specific warmups/cooldowns could be integrated into the program ? Other than that i'am happy with the program and look forward working with it 👍

[@MarkWildman]

Excellent questions. I will answer in videos
