I’m 360lbs. After watching your last video about exercises for overweight people, I have spent every day conscious of “standing straight” and using my core. I truly appreciate your tone and choice of words because I felt encouraged and informed rather than shamed and belittled. Thank you for taking the time and effort to help people like me. Being overweight is already painful and its worse when exercising. I have often hurt or strained myself trying to do “normal size” people exercises. Which is why I am encouraged by your clear and concise care of instructions on how to physically move through the exercises while inside a bigger body. I am looking forward to your future videos. Thank you again. Please stay healthy and safe.

[@jodohead]

All of this, right here. Love Mark's approach, language, and general manner. I started at 320lbs and have lost 20 of that. Not the biggest change ever but I can now do 5 of the 6 fundamental kettlebell exercises (that Turkish Get Up is going to take time). None of this is easy. You/we still need to want to do it. Good luck to you!

[@scottengh1175]

Hey Brother! I was 310# 6 weeks ago. Bought a couple lighter kettlebells and clubbells. Started with Mark's overweight video 1 and long walks. Then with his intermittent fasting--watch his video. I am down to 275! I am still doing weights that feel like I am not moving enough weight! But I really sweat! Low weights, move, don't get hurt. Sleep way better. Your Friends

[@CharitonIosifides]

Keep it up brother! You are on the right track.

[@Rid3thetig3r]

Really classy comment, stay safe and good luck Carolyn!

The goal is to help. If there are topics you would like addressed. Let me know. And we will try to make a list. And get to them week by week

[@billbuyshouses7077]

I was a typical 62 year old male and started watching Your channel March of 2020. I bought an Adex club and started in the range of 6-7 lbs. later added a 12kg kettlebell. I’ve progressed to 15 lb club and 16kg kettlebell. Completely transformed my core strength and arms and shoulders have definition. We’ve recently moved and I handled many heavy book boxes and furniture. Wife was concerned i would hurnt my back. No problems at all. Thanks Mark Wildman.

[@cucciafr68]

I've definitely noticed more confidence in my daily movement for both work and grappling since I've been doing kettlebell and club work. It's amazing. I recently did 10 hours of resodding and my back didn't bug me at all.

[@MarkWildman]

good to hear

[@aliciagonzales8195]

Good job isn't it amazing when you put your mind to it little chips start flying off here and there then you get in the zone then magical transformation appears

[@gerdsiebern9648]

Okay: I'm 65 years by age and trained bodybuilding for 40 years. After 1 year without any training because of shoulder problems, i found your channel with the kettlebells and the clubs. I began with the shield cast, with 2×2KG Clubs. Yesterday I trained 2club shield cast 10 minutes without a break. Today the inside and outside circle. I did 25 reps on each side then changed into the outside with 25 reps each side. This all 4 times without a break, on 4 sets. Now, this my new and favourite kind of training. The next step will be with my 4KG clubs. Cheers Mark💪😉

[@rulkme]

I'm an overly obese man, 5'9 465 pounds right now. I'm going to do the exercises you recommend based on the understanding and terms you use that tells me you understand the obese man's problem. Yes, I carry a 200+ sandbag on my shoulders daily. I'm tired of being tired. I need to loose weight for myself and family. I will give you a progress on how I do. Thank you for you content.

[@jwetzel7207]

I hope it’s going well sir

[@darkmauler7659]

Hey Rulkme I am 380lb 6'2 man thinking about getting one of these clubs next month and wondering how your progress has been over the last month?

How's it going? Hope you doing well.

[@michaelsenft3608]

Mark, Just wanted to give you fact-based reinforcement for everything you’ve been doing for us over the past year. The pandemic totally undermined my training, and i completely lost focus and direction. Two months ago, right after a health assessment switch my doctor, I implemented a version of your “nerd math” in progressive double kb clean and press, snatch, front squat and gorilla row, supported by gamma cast and other club and mace work, and high intensity cardio. I had a follow-up check-up yesterday, with another dexa scan - in two months, I have gained 4 lbs of muscle, lost 7 lbs of fat, and am back down to 10% body fat at 6’ 2” and 210lbs at 62 years old. Thank you for your instruction, and your inspiration!

[@MarkWildman]

That’s what I like to hear

[@otismanousakos3946]

Posts like Michael's are precisely why this account deserves 500k 'ACTIVE’ followers. In my own nerd math that means he'll have a brilliant launch when the app comes out. I'm with you Michael, since discovering morning calisthenics and afternoon Kettlebell training, I've hit a whole new stride.

[@wobbygongferg5630]

Thanks Michael (and obviously Mark). Great feedback. Wish i could say I had your dedication, that said I am still seeing benefits in my own movement. GREAT JOB DUDE. This video is great 👍 This might just make too much sense.. love math. Thanks Mark from Aussie land.

[@BigHat83]

There are lots of reasons I love your videos, but two are always prevalent throughout. 1. Your coaching cues are fantastic, wordy enough but not too wordy... 2. There are always hidden little nuggets of wisdom, like easter eggs...

[@antonomaseapophasis5142]

Check! on coaching cues

[@IrishARSE1968]

I just found this channel. I’m 54 and overweight. I went to a gym a couple times. As a much younger person, I was anorexic/ bulemic for YEARS and then turned to gym addiction for a couple years when I gave that up. So weight loss is HARD. When I have tried a gym in the last five years they have tried to make me do the step up on a box and let me just say- THANK YOU for understanding that a normal person wouldn’t do that just starting out with a hundred pound sandbag, especially a 50 year old woman with a bad back. So I appreciate your awareness.

[@shpox]

Mark literally has summed up months of his channel in this one very video. Great content.

[@laaronml]

This is so smart and counter to everything you see about overweight people getting started. I wish I saw this when I was overweight. Took me a year to figure I was carrying a sandbag on my shoulders and to adjust to it so I could succeed in my efforts instead of failing.

[@jessdog19]

Deleted my original comment/Question. I took what I could from the videos and made what I thought was a good program for me based upon my understanding of what you were saying. I decided to erase my original comment because I dont want people thinking it's what youre saying or advising, just in case I did it wrong. I will say, since I started volume cycles with my club and KB doing your exercises outlined in the workouts for overweight people vids, my walks have gotten so much better. Im moving so much better. Just want to say thank you for doing this. I can see a difference in just 3 weeks since starting.

[@bdove7939]

Dear Mark. These exercises have almost completely cured my shoulder impingement issues and if done barefoot as you suggest, really help foot pain problems as well. I have taken to doing almost all of my workouts barefoot and; no more plantar fasciitis. Thanks for the guidance, You are the real deal.

[@bandiceet]

I am 360 pounds - and that is after loosing weight from diet changes, such as cutting my alcohol intake right down to almost nothing etc - and I work in a reasonably physically demanding job. While I do have a weighted bag, and a 26.5 pound kettle bell, and I struggle to keep the momentum in using these, even for some basic exercises. After work I try to exercise by walking (since I typically have a 20 minute wait for the bus, instead of simply waiting for the bus, I will walk along the bus route until I get to a bus stop just before the bus is due) and a few other similar things to simply get my body moving. I like your exercise regime, since I have seen too many aimed at "beginners" and expect people to be starting from a point that seem highly unreasonable.

[@cucciafr68]

That's awesome. What a lot of people don't realize is it comes down to habit. It may take a while before you get a regular routine down. It's important to start slow and make minor changes amd before long those become the norm. I went through it too. Good luck amd keep it up.

[@theredqueen4986]

Yes! I had tried so many “programs” that were called beginner, that it got almost depressing, when the 20th beginner program I tried( just threw that number out there, not sure how many it really was, but it felt like a hundred-it was many)I couldn’t do just one set of five, of any of the exercises-I thought something was wrong with me. Nice to know, it’s not just me who was struggling with the so-called “beginner” programs!

[@DarkTypeWriter]

Brilliant. Clear. Concise. Meaningful. Useful. And much needed by so many people.

[@johnkenny6516]

KBS Vs HIIT..... if anyone is doubting the advantages of kettlebells here is something I've just discovered. So up until May last year I spent 4 months trying to get in shape doing HIIT. The usual mountain climbers and burpees type stuff. I struggled with burpees. In May 2020 I discovered mark's KZbin channel and have been following kettlebells stuff on here for a year except a month during winter when I lost track and gained a few extra pounds that I lost. Ladt week bad blisters on thumb web from gardening prevented me from doing kbs. I decided to try HIIT for the first time in a year. I found that the burpees that I struggled with were easy and the climbers were too. I never realised until now the difference that kbs have made to my fitness and mobility. Thank you Mark wildman for continuing to put out such amazing content for FREE.

[@MarkWildman]

this is why we coach the way we coach. thank you

[@amethystrocks6433]

Amazing! Thanks for helping those of us who are carrying sandbags on our shoulders. Most exercise people don't include us.

[@seanbryant8240]

Being cheap I've used a 6lb sledge I already had and choke up on it. I do shield cast, inside and outside almost everyday to warm up. Love these, big fan of mark and his videos.

[@MarkWildman]

I started with a sledge hammer myself

[@MrTwoofa2210]

Watching your instructions, it shows you care about helping people; especially in my case being what doctors say...obese. You give me hope that I can loose at least 20 pounds. I'll keep watching learning and applying. Thanks.

[@MarkWildman]

getting stronger and standing up is the key. we will continue to make videos to help

[@Awesometastic267]

Dude you are such a gold mine. I just wanted to say i really appreciate how good your content is and you cover so many areas that you dont see other people discussing online. You have inspired me to get into kettlebelling and helped me go from not knowing what i am doing with a 16kg to playing with double 24kgs. I have also got in to 2 handed club and really appreciate how its helped my coordination and its also hella fun.

I really appreciate how you keep things short and clear, and in this case, you avoid a lot of the ugly phrasing or patronizing tone that some fitness folks can throw at overweight folks.

[@theredqueen4986]

Hi. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I could stand to loose 20 pounds, but my problem is, I went from extremely active-to nothing, for about four years. Every exercise book, set of routines, ect. that I have searched for that’s for “ beginners “-I can’t even get thru the first exercise set-I don’t think it’s because I am “giving up”, or not really trying. I push myself, I know it’s going to be work, and not pleasant at first. I stumbled across your vids by accident, and thank god, because I was in panic mode. I thought something was seriously wrong with me-I can’t even do just one, single squat. Now I understand, that I am extremely de-conditioned. ( I owe you my sanity, just for educating me on that, alone!) Your words are magic. Everything suddenly made sense to me. I have got to re-condition the “ frame” of my body, my core, the muscles that form the foundation for holding the skeletal system up correctly, in proper alignment, and balanced, including range of motion, before I do anything else. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops-a lot of people don’t know this, like me-and they give up, like I was about to. You have saved my current, and future health. I just got my club today, borrowed the weights-and I have one question. Do you do the kettle ball exercises one day, and the next exercise day, go thru the first set of club exercises, then the next back to the kettle ball exercises, and so on? I am making my set charts today, and can’t wait to get started, because, finally, I feel like I can successfully do these routines! You have made me so happy and hopeful! From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Thanks so much Mark! this answers some important questions for me as I develop my program. With several exercises, I've been unsure if I should increase the number of sets or the number of reps to progress. This helps a lot with that question and also to establish a basic club routine for my "C" training days. While I don't have a weight problem, I do have a strength problem so most of this material is appropriate. Please continue to develop this line of videos......and have fun in Maui!

Mark!!! Thank you....! The reason I started following you is because heard the same principals that I heard 32 years ago when I started my journey in Karate. Structure, Stance, Speed, Power! I heard the echo's of Mr. Arel and Mr. Longo in your voice. The students of old school training from the the 50's when Karate was just coming to the United States of America. Self Defense is useless if the body can't support it self. One of the things that is etched in my mind is when Mr. Longo said " Your paying for the Self Defense! The exercise is Free!" Keep doing what you are doing! You are building the foundation for the next generation! Best Peter!

Even better, my husband has agreed to do this with me. I am wondering about appropriate warmup and cooldown (or warmdown). Maybe those will be addressed in future videos in the series.

Spot on with your approach which is exactly what I'm embarking on now. I've realised that losing fat is last on my list of priorities although I would of course like to lose it. But the most important thing initially is addressing areas that need repair and improving my strength, as well as my mobility and flexibility. Interesting exercises and, though I don't have the equipment you're using, I may be able to adapt and use something else so I can still try them. Thank you.

[@lancethiele]

Mr. Wildman, can you please do a video on exercise progression for clients recovering from shoulder surgery? I want to specialize in working with clients post joint surgery/replacement. Since physical therapy is so lacking, I think your system would fill a huge hole. I picture it would be starting with SA #1-2 lb Indian club swings in sagittal plane, staying below shoulder height and slowly adding complexity/ROM/weight from there. Adding 2hand KB and bodyweight after a few weeks as tolerated.

[@JayHarris78]

I would love to see what are good ways to gain ROM for the shield cast. I know in one of the older videos, you said your thumb should be touching the back of your collar, but what if you can't get that low? Is it just over time it corrects itself or are there stretches or mobility drills that are good to do ahead of time?

[@50faflores]

Hey Mark. Thanks for the amazing insight. I'm starting to train both my mother and mother in law who are overweight and have Mobility restrictions just as you mentioned and I am blown away by how much this style and methodology makes sense. I am going to purchase the Adex club because I want to use it myself as well as with my trainees, but I want to know your opinion on whether to get the fat grip handle or the regular handle. Thank you again.

Awesome, Coach Mark! My Adex fat handle Big Deal package is being delivered today! I got a pair of 10# rubber coated Clubbells a month ago to start. And have been doing 2 handed inside and outside circles and 2 handed shield casts. Got impression from you that lighter Adex club might not be best weight distribution. Have 16, 18 and 20kg kettlebells. Doing hybrid overweight and your kettlebell nerd math #1. Also your 8 hour eat, 16 hour fast, and long walks.

Mark, thank you for these videos. I am anxious to start. The question I have, in both this and the first video with the kettlebell weights, is how quickly to advance the number of reps. Every time you do them, or when you can do the number of reps without difficulty. Thanks again.

[@brentranke7528]

Mark calls it Volume cycles. You add a set. Start at weight that is doable without PAIN for 5 sets of 5 reps each side. then 2 days later for the next workout do 6 sets of 5 reps, then next workout 7 sets of 5 reps. 8 sets, 9 sets to 10 sets of 5 reps. Then if you have the Adex Club and can micro load by 1.25 or 2.5 start again at 5 sets of 5 reps and repeat. If you do not have Adex you go to volume cycle to 20 sets of 5 reps and then Density Cycle 10 sets of 10 reps. Here are some of his Nerd Math videos about Clubs kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIGtlWpth9uJia8 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ2Xk4Z9arOXb5I and kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4SseJZprrZ3bck

Hi I did 20 set of shield cast, inside circle and outside circle doing one set of each instead of all of one exercise. I found it easer to count that way and if I run out of steam I will have done an even number of each. Am I losing anything doing the sets this way? I started with a toy wooden bat that weighs about a pound next time I will use a t-ball bat and the an adult bat. By the time that feels light hopefully my Adex will come in. Thank you so much for this program most alleged abdominal program are for people in good shape to to get into better shape the bottom rungs of the ladder are missing

[@BenSemisch]

Looks like a great program, wish the Adex clubs weren't backordered right now. I have the Origin War clubs though since I've been getting into indian clubs, and those go up to about 7lbs, so I think I'll be set for awhile.

[@MarkWildman]

i called adex and they are currently expanding their production line.

[@frankrosemond3073]

Mark. great teaching video! Where can we order the steel mace set used, in this video?

[@MarkWildman]

Adex club and mace. Should be a link in the description of most videos

[@stevenjohnson3682]

Hey Mark, GREAT video as always! Question about programming. You mentioned to continue adding one set of 5 until you reach 10, then increase the weight. Should I ever continue on to 20 sets per movement or does the 100 rep standard equal the combined effort of both arms?

[@cucciafr68]

In this case I believe he means 100 reps combined. So 10 sets of 5 is 5 reps both left and right. I'm running a program with basic club weights that has 3 groups of 3 exercises (the inside circle, outside circle and shield cast is one group) that goes to 20 sets of 5 (each hand) then switches to density cycles before upping weight. But my weight jumps are bigger, so I need a lot more work on each club before progression.

[@rsgreen30]

I need that shirt!

[@sauteedpeppers]

Thanks Mark, your videos explain the hows and whys. This video does no less. I've gone to Adex's web site, and I'm considering purchasing an adjustable club. I notice that they have two widths of handles. What do you recommend for the beginner. BTW, I weigh 270 lbs. Once again, thanks.

[@brentranke7528]

In other videos he states a preference for the fat handle.

[@creakygate]

Need a supply of those clubs in the UK 😕

[@PatrickCatrick]

Do adex not ship to UK? They deliver to Canada, but shipping is way too expensive, so I held off.

[@MarkWildman]

Ask adex! The more they hear from you guys, the better it will get

[@jonesy426]

@@MarkWildman sadly, I did contact adex regarding having the clubs within the EU and the answer was literally: "no, sorry." I expected at least something more like we are working on it or hopefully soon. I guess this exercises might only apply to the US or to those willing to ship the club overseas. :(

[@adamnawaz9957]

You can use a site such as myus to ship to UK. They provide you a USA address to ship to and can even buy the Adex club for you if the Adex site does not accept UK credit cards. I don't work for myus but have used their service to buy and ship from USA to Canada. The cost of shipping heavy clubs might exceed the cost of the club so due diligence is needed. Good Luck!

[@jandreoni]

I am so on board with this. I'm about 323lbs (I've lost about 10 lbs in the last two months). The first video you did was awesome, and I understand the concept of volume-based training and increasing the numbers, but where I get confused is how often I increase. If I do Tues/Thurs/Sat/Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun/Tues etc. would I increase from 3x3 to 3x4 after that full cycle? After each exercise? Or after every three days? I know it's totally up to me, but I always feel like I'm doing this part wrong, haha. My back is garbage and I have a sit-down computer job, so my core needs some serious work. Thank you so much, Mark!! And I'm looking into getting one of these clubs from this video, this is an ingenious thing that I've never seen before!

[@MarkWildman]

I have people add a set every workout session if they successfully completed the number in the last session. I recommend one day off a week

[@nickevans3190]

Hi, Many thanks for such an informative video, actually targeted at overweight people which i'am one of them, I live in the UK 🇬🇧 is it possible to purchase the kit you use in the UK 🇬🇧 or have it shipped out to the UK?, Do you have a youtube channel specifically showing how to do these exercises as you do them in real time reps? Or a download of you performing these exercises starting at the lowest weight and reps and progressing through to the heaviest weight and longer reps, any extra information will be very gratefully received, Many thanks Nick

[@MarkWildman]

They will shit to the Uk I think. But beware the vat tax

[@denisejohnson4679]

So glad I stumbled on this channel a month ago. I have collected so many overuse injuries over the last 3-4 years from a ton of instability issues I didn’t even know I had. I like that the focus of this soon-to-be series is the “most important movements” and I truly believe your goal is to help. I’ve been following the plan from the previous video you posted with KB deadlifts, box squats, and standing and seated presses and have been cycling through the nerd math with those exercises. Now that I’m feeling more stable, I just want to get after it! I know the app is in testing, so in the meantime I’d like a better idea of what to program into a workout. I’ve watched all the Tetris videos but I know things like TGUs are not going to happen for me for a long time and I don’t know how to build a program that is more focused on building a strong foundation first.
