Just found your channel, impressed, you may be the smartest trainer on You Tube. Well done sir.

[@dcdodo2323]

I said it before and I'll say it again..Mark is like the big brother we go to to ask for advice... Thanks for another vid..

[@clarabartha1737]

Thank God somebody's finally said what I've been thinking for so long. You have my attention Mr. Wildman.

[@OneFrugalDuck]

I started jogging at 180 pounds. I lost some weight but I got planters fasciitis in my right heal. That's when I discovered kettlebells. He's not kidding. Go easy on your joints when overweight or obese.

[@NamelessCenobite]

This is great advice! Since gaining a bunch of weight, exercising has become increasingly difficult to the point of chronic stress fractures in my feet. Managing the load on my feet, as well as impact, is really tricky. Glad I found this channel 👍🏽

[@jeffscicluna6511]

So much bloody sense in what this guy says. So much info this guy has shared. No waffle or bs. Thankyou Mark Wildman

[@ovivan79]

Fantastic advice and logic as always. I’d like to add spinning as a great substitute for running, to get cardio going.

[@oulala994]

Your channel really is very good. Genuinely. I don't understand why you don't have more views. Thank you for all this quality content!

[@goyaliza]

You make weight loss about the process and honor the individual to get them healthier which is why I love listening to you

[@Suedesi]

Pretty interesting, and non-conventional take - can't fault your logic

[@royromero8496]

Ya your the best ,total common sensed approach, top notch 👌 👍 👏

[@aussieguy8077]

Fitness tips from the zombie apocalypse cave, swinging machetes and archery are where the real gains are.

Best advice I've ever been given.

[@innercircle341]

so helpful, loving watching these videos, changed my mindset and I am improving all the time.

[@seansartor]

I respect the HELL of Mark, BUT the most important aspect of weight loss is...your nutritional/caloric intake. Im NOT talking about any fade diets. Im talking about balance. A person can lose weight without exercise. Exercise does burn calories BUT a person will NEVER out work a BAD DIET. Study/Research food FIRST and exercise accordingly. What's your GOAL? Bodybuilding? Running a marathon? Power Lifter? Or getting into a 34" pair of pants?

[@Elizabeth-yg2mg]

Exactly--You can cut 500-1000 calories daily reducing intake; you're not going to use up that much exercising if you're fat or overweight. My real food portions have always been small but I'd developed a pop habit and was snarfing bags of cookies and potato chips. I had a mental turning point and ditched the pop and bags of junk. I do have some junk but cut way down and am getting smaller. Over time the junk isn't delicious anymore.

[@michelekamenar5026]

Fully agree with you but I think the video is focused more on exercise for weight loss. Agree nutrition is probably the most important thing, first, for weight loss.

[@WulfricTheBlack]

So much common sense in one video, Subscribed!! and I feel vindicated against a gyms 20 something yo PT that was on me like white on rice to run laps, run sprints, box jumps, jump rope, etc. I didn’t hire him nor ask for his help but it was policy I suppose for him to go around and offer plans and advice. So I was as patient and as calm as I could be when I told him to go help someone else because they only way I’d even consider doing those things was after I reached my goal weight. I did find one of my friends to be workout partner, and by lifting weights with control and form addressed with little rest we had great results. He lost the 20 lbs he wanted plus gained maybe 30 in muscle, I lost 65 plus gained about the same in muscle. And now I have to do it all over again because life got in the way.

[@teriwalls4169]

I think you are so smart about the human body!

[@tommym875]

My favorite quote on exercise for weight loss is that you can’t outrun the spoon. This is great advice in a sea of crap.

[@Nihal-wx3th]

Also swimming is amazing, since it takes off the pressure on the joins

[@ginetteblier]

Love how knowledgeable you are. Thank you.

[@shawndidstuffbeforehehadki806]

Jump rope. It's low impact if you do it right---which, now that I type that, is the point of this video that often overweight people have difficulty performing with a stable, correct technique. However, jump rope is bad a*s. Adding kettle bells to a jump rope routine though.. that's where I'm going next b/c of this channel. Awesome content!

[@anitaelghandor7295]

Yes that makes alot of sense,in between,my weights I do at least 2miles,carrying 20 lbs,I'm really pleased with the bell,I'm really good with around the world,looks really clean😁😁😁

[@paleamigo8575]

Excellent that is how I started and designed my programs for accountability.

[@maylynnod6714]

Thank you, this non conventional. Although I learned all the opposite and I was very enthusiastic because I love to workout. Meanwhile I had some injuries. I lost the extra weight and I have been learning again to move correctly. Thank you so much ❤

[@TheJake664]

good info. Thank You !

[@breezybreeze730]

I'm not overweight but even for someone my size, this is the best weight loss advice that makes sense to me.

[@DanielOliveira-nt7ly]

Agree 100%

[@orldoming]

Like usual very good stuff to think about.

[@anasaenz5702]

Thank you for you insight

[@The42n8s1]

[@shanedjoy8954]

Sound advice. Makes sense.

Doing Kettle bells and Jump rope rn

[@pzshi]

fuck, I was laying awake at night last night about the whole thing about not doing Bodyweight exercises after getting on the kettlebell train.

[@andremoraes119]

Excelente!

[@anitaelghandor7295]

Makes so much sense 😁

[@DaeguKyle]

Only one thing matters for weight loss, creating a calorie deficit (eating less calories than your body burns). Doesn't matter how you choose to do it, but by far the easiest and most effective means to achieving this (which no one likes to hear) is by simply eating less. As a rule of thumb a 500 calorie a day deficit translates to a 1 pound a week loss. Most overweight and obese people can lose significant amounts of weight without ever having to exercise or increase their daily movement.

[@dougieladd]

I'm a 50+ guy who trained JiuJitsu for 7 months. Loved it. Still do. Then had an injury to my low back and have been unable to train since. I would really like to know how to improve back strength and core strength. Will Kettle bells help with this? Thanks for your video, makes sense to me. It made me ask a question at least!! ;)

[@thebigzapfer8696]

Am in similar boat and this video is pretty old so he may not respond but have a look at some of his videos about kettle bells and asymmetrical core building - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGW7e6qYiLp-pJo

[@peterm7348]

Dougie have a look at professor Stuart Mcgill world back expert on KZbin

[@michelevionneburwell-herre4662]

I'm 66 and had lower back and cervical issues (herniated disks) and YES Kettle Bells help just go slow. I started with a 12 kg x 5 reps now I do 35 lb ( 1 pood 16 kg) x 20 reps swings, cleans between the knees. Admittedly I don't do 10 min is more like 30 I take a break in between, I'm an old guy. Great video keep up the great work!

[@pigletofgreed7747]

Not necessary to use a kettlebell to do cleans, snatches, presses or squats. I don't get how a K-bell is supposed to be "better" than a barbell or dumbbell for many of those exercises.

[@MarkWildman]

Offset center of mass. No dropping like with a barbell. Designed to be held in the positions unlike a dumbbell. Solid metal, harder to hurt.

[@pigletofgreed7747]

Uh, I K. Not adjustable. Expensive as hel l to have a full set to progress weigjt. Like " progressive resistance ". There are solid dumbbells tolo. But of a " trendy" thing, I believe.

[@MarkWildman]

@@pigletofgreed7747 ok. then do it how you want.

[@ביתמרדכיבמוקונואוגנדה]

"We only get one body and we can't replace our joints." If only the Special Forces highers had considered that before they had us spend our youth running through the jungle with 125 pound rucks on our backs. But then maybe they expected we would die before that happened. Woops.

[@michelekamenar5026]

Israeli special forces are not “obese people” they are probably some of the most fit humans around. He’s talking about weight loss for obese people. Context matters. A fit person can run with a 20 or 30 pound sack on their back with less/minimal joint damage. Not the same for an obese person.

[@ביתמרדכיבמוקונואוגנדה]

@@michelekamenar5026 Obviously you don't know who I am or what my background is. From a 70 yr old exSF I can tell you for an experiencial fact that all of the crazy shit we SF did as youngsters WILL manifest itself in old age. Of course playing football in HS and squatting heavy iron might have contributed. But I appreciate the criticism from someone who has never "been there, done that".

[@TheChenLaoshi]

Wow! Mindblowing idea. Hate jogging and push ups that hurt in the wrong kind of way as an obese woman. Now it makes sense why. Have been enjoying kettlebells so far and learning a lot from these videos! Thanks!

But did you fart?

Great advice! BTW.. 15 kg overweight and so proud that I can do pushups (2 x 10, not many :-)). keep up the great videos!

how many can you do now?

[@youjitsuhoneybadgers8322]

You have very interesting ideas and I love your explanations. Im not a fan of running at all because of the high impact. I am however a fan of walking especially in nature. Also swimming and rowing for cardio.

[@morenoh149]

Walking in sand too

[@Zanuka]

Wow, thank you. I was just about to go on a 2nd run this week XD As a very overweight person I shall do now something else. Is step cardio fine? going up and down steps....

Praetorian hoody. It goes everywhere in the world with me. I’m on my second. The first one lasted 8 years before my clients told me not to wear it to set anymore. My second is 5 years old now. Love it

Haha It's so true though. One of the signs you KNOW you've aged, is when you realize, "why the fuck do my joints hurt". Fuck man.

[@karanjorgensen3175]

Finally some smart and practical advice on weight loss that's not going to hurt people. 👍

[@robert50173]

The thing people don't like to hear or do, STOP PUSHING SO MANY CALORIES IN YOUR DAM MOUTH. Your other points are spot on.

[@sambsialia]

Mark. What about clubbells in an affordable variety? DIY? What about heavy bow archery draws on each side? What about deep stance move Tai Chi and Kung Fu? How about some parkour workouts?

[@MarkWildman]

Onnit clubs are the cheaper but good clubs. you can go DIY, Ill make some vids when i can get into the shop. heavy bow draws i would not put in weight loss, i would put that in skill. you could put it in a weight loss program if you put it in between kb swings, or sandbag ground to shoulder.... deep stance work... not weight loss, but again that's strength development. forms for time could be used as weight loss. you would need to add a cardio kicker between forms of different duration everyday

[@sambsialia]

Mark. I just saw Joe Gibbs, a monster strong archer, drawing resistance bands. That seems more applicable for strength than a bow to me.

[@MarkWildman]

@@sambsialia i see what you are saying. so it would be gfp (general physical preparedness) Kettlebell, club, and cable machine, asp (activity specific preparedness) drawing resistance bands, ssp (sport specific preparedness) actual archery drills. then you could combine obstacles with archery for the final level of training. you could run them all concurrently. but that's not really a weight loss program.. now you are getting into nerdy archery specific training (a specific goal). it could have a weight loss component depending on how you set up the GFP cycles... i like it. ive set up a program like this for actors before.

[@sambsialia]

Your stuff is so dang interesting. Good work.

[@clickaccept]

Exercise is not for weight-loss. Over-eating is immoral.

[@MarkWildman]

wow.

[@clickaccept]

@MrQuidestveritas The limit on compassion is given by truth. Obtaining "Blaming fat people" from "Over-eating is immoral" requires that you think I am god.
