Pillars of Fitness: Types of Fitness Everyone Should Train For

Get SuperFunctional Training 2.0: www.thebioneer.com/product/sft2/
I've discussed the importance of training in multiple modalities. In this video, I address what those modalities are and suggest some major "pillars of fitness."
I think that everyone should be strong, mobile, mentally agile, and aerobically fit. Further, each of these pillars of fitness can be broken down. We should seek to develop max strength as well as explosive strength. Aerobic endurance AND anaerobic endurance.
Let me know what you guys think: did I miss anything out? Do you train each of these aspects for a well-rounded performance?
Oh and a HUGE thank you to all of you for getting the channel to 200,000 subs! It's absolutely insane and I appreciate every single comment, like, and sub :-D

[@damiangames1204]

I love the methodology of ido portal. Just play. You never see animals "training". They play. They play fight, they run around for fun, they climb trees to get food, and obviously use their physicality to actually do things for survival. The idea is just to move, try things, workout for fun, to use your body.

[@bakianimebattles640]

Very true, Most athlete's would have never been athletes and be training if they didnt enjoy what they did. I see to many people trying to force them self to workout even when they hate it. Usually after a while, most people who continue to force them self will eventually quit and become a Couch potato all over again.

[@ryusuikarate]

The Ido lays out the training is really great. I do think studying what he does is very worthwhile but I also think for most people it is overkill. Most people just want to live their life free of injury and be able to climb a tree with their kids and things like that. For them that approach is great but the exercises Ido uses and the amount of time needed are not ideal. I would honestly put most people on a 10 minute daily kettlebell or steel club program with some mobility work. If they want to be more athletic and have more time than that is easy to expand.

It is a shame for one to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which their body is capable.” ― Socrates That modified with the ideas brought upon by Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, commonly known as classical stoicism, specifically the idea of Practiced Suffering, it is easy to see why I would pick up strength training because of philosophy.

[@Phamtomdark]

@@ilikemyv8 still training, switched from boxing to grappling; I've competed in three JJWL tournaments in the last year, and helped raised money for the charity competition, Tap Cancer Out, Bringing me to four competitions so far (I recently signed up for an invitational competition known as Arte Suave, I'm hoping I get invited. That will be a submission only competition, a format that really excites me.); I'm steadily winning more of my competition rounds too. So either I'm either sucking less (getting better) or my opponents are getting worse. I've gone from an average of 165 - 175lbs to 145 - 150 depending on how much I let myself eat. I feel good about my weight for once in my life XD. I drink less than I did two years ago and the appeal has only gone down. I've cut my mile time by half from fourteen - thirteen minutes to six to seven minutes. I still regularly train with weights, mostly Clubs, Kettlebells, and Gada; I should honestly work more on the common big three because I've been slacking on my Bench, Squats and Dead lift. I can also now do a full hand stand without the help of the wall, and am on my way to handstand pushups. ( I can do like one and a half before losing balance, but I don't feel like it's a strength issue, just a control issue.) I've completed three bucket list items relating to physically challenging myself; I can planch for a good while, I've competed in competition, and I've successfully thrown someone who weighed a hundred pounds more than me. I think it's going well, thanks for asking, and for giving me a reason to review myself. (always good to do a self review)

I was wondering when you were going to record a "The Pillars of Fitness" video, since you laid this stuff out in the book and have mentioned it in other videos over time. I'm ecstatic that you have taken the opportunity to address what today's online fitness YTer's consider fitness. I think along the way, too many people found themselves being in good shape and, having listened to some friends urging them to start a channel, found the topic to be a cash cow of sorts. It seems like there's a lot of people that really don't know what they are talking about and do little to no research, just copy other people's content and claim it as their own. Here, is the complete opposite. You have a college degree, more than 10K hours of study and practice, and are open-minded and constantly learning and improving. This alone should've given you millions of viewers, and yet, it hasn't. I am very proud of where we (Bioneers) have grown, don't get me wrong, and it's probably a good thing, in a way, that we haven't expanded exponentially and all too rapidly, because it may have lost it's way. Then again, maybe not. Instead, I see a lot of tricky, gimmicky garbage and it seems people love it. If I had to make a comparison from this channel to theirs, I would make the analogy of this being the real Batman to the other's as weekend imitators. Here is where the real work, intelligence, dedication to self and community happens.Digressing to the point of the definition of "fitness" and what it really means. This is the best way I've heard it articulated. I've read many fitness books, of many types, and it would seem they spell out what you put easily into an introductory paragraph. Thank you for this video, and thank you for the channel. Most of all, thanks for all of the work you put into this art and sharing it with the community. I think we have the best community of any channel I've visited. (Plus, we embrace cool stuff like comics and legends of their strength or intelligence field. That just makes us awesome.) Concluding this essay, I will say, congratulations on the milestone, just one of many more to come! I look forward to seeing more amazing videos and reading their even more detailed companion blogs, and a future update of sequel book. I also look forward to newcomers to the channel and community. I hope you and everyone here will stay safe, stay healthy, and have a peaceful evening.

[@runnerup15]

Something to add here: learning breath control through singing makes you a better speaker. Music, visual arts, writing, and other creative pursuits can also be learned just as any other field. However, you only have 16 waking hours a day and 8 of them are taken by your job and 3 are taken by meal prep and eating. If you have friendships to maintain and/or a family you have maybe 2 hours a day on average to focus on something. It takes thousands of hours to get even moderately competent in any field, physical or mental. At some point you must pick and choose what you spend time getting better at, if you spread yourself too thin you will not improve at all

Would love to hear your opinion on certain diets or super foods that you think potentially affect our functionality. Shawn Baker breaks world records on the carnivore diet, other athletes swear by veganism for optimal performance, people note enhanced cognitive function and mental clarity on keto. Maybe we can see a video on that

[@wesleyangel777]

This would be interesting to see a video on. One thing that I have noticed over time, is that it really is the individual and how his/her body reacts to certain foods. The amazing thing is, what we are used to, in our geographical area, are probably going to be the types of foods we need to thrive on. I'm not talking of the fast food or processed types here, yet, those pertaining to regional home cooking. One can supplement the diet with more vegetables or meat and find his/her body responds more positively to it. So the good news is, you can trial and error with this, play with the change ups, and keep a nutrition journal to hone in on exactly what works for you. Maybe this or type diet works, or maybe it doesn't. Maybe none of them really works or any number of them. It just takes playing around with the combinations to find it. This can be done quickly and efficiently. I'm not going to leave you on a cliff hanger like that, I'll go one step further and lay it out for you 9and whomever may find this helpful) the nutrition journal doesn't have to be it's own, bulky notebook, nor does it have to be overly detailed (if you don't want to, or if you do, that's cool too and totally up to what you feel comfortable with, just as long as you are consistent). Just log a sentence or two describing how you feel just after dinner and what you ate. Come back in an hour and write/type another sentence or so, when it's had a little more time to process. Whenever you train, write how you believe you performed. Do this for each meal, for each week of trying each diet. If one doesn't feel good on day three or so, stop it, reset, wait until the next week to start the next. This way may seem like a long time, but trust me, it is far more quicker than trying to find "the perfect diet", then getting disappointed in it not working for you, if it doesn't. This would surely lead to being upset and having a negative mental input that may put you off from working on finding your optimal fuel. Then again, it may not. The key takeaway here is trialing is actually faster and pays off huge, and consistently, in your future! You may find neither veganism makes you wanna puke or carnivore diet makes you feel sluggish, or you may find a great balance of simply eating more home cooked meals that you already eat, just adding a little more or less of something. I hope this helps! Stay safe, stay healthy, and have a peaceful evening.

@@wesleyangel777 Yeah I've always thought the same thing. The only problem with the regional theory would be that different geographical groups have constantly migrated/ or were nomadic during the time period were natural selection through food types would have been most prevelant. Definitely an interesting idea.

[@ienjoyapples]

All three diets have a common denominator: elimination of processed foods. Nobody knows what the ideal human diet is, if any such diet exists, but we know for sure that the typical processed garbage most modern western people eat is making us sick and fat.

[@GodOfReality]

@@ienjoyapples Sick, and fat, and depressed, and anxious, and lethargic, and shorter attention spans, and reduced EQ, the younger golden years end sooner, and overall life expectancy also goes down. Sugars and fake foods like seed oils and high fructose corn syrup are a disease on our species. We are the weakest, sickest, most uncompassionate we have ever been.

In the morning you can eat like a vegan, then the afternoon a vegetarian then in the evening like a Carnivore?

Could you look in to pre danger/fight adrenaline rush, and how to deal or use it? I always get shaky legs before confrontation. Im working in environment where are a lot of people locked in and there are plenty of bars also.

[@mrrender9801]

Your breathing patterns help a lot but nothing beats competency and trust in your ability to defend yourself. Learn about the fight or flight response and how breathing patterns relate to certain states and enjoy your training my man

[@iliveinsideyourhouse3943]

I got shaky legs from presenting in front of my class but when I'm on a fight, I'm kinda calm and control the situation well, weird.

Thanks for your awesome body weight calisthenics videos, Bioneer. Your channel is becoming my favorite fitness channel on YT. Seriously, you really have some of the absolute best content. Please keep it up. It is a real inspiration for my fitness training.

You're like the older version of myself I swear I know more about physical education than my teachers by now, and I've been coding for a couple of years now😂

[@chest2904]

First of all: Your videos are absolutely awesome || My only question: How do you get all of these 5 aspects into your training? (one aspect every day 5 days a week? How do you personally manage it?)

[@chest2904]

Or let's say 4 aspects because cognitive function you can basically train every day :D

[@wesleyangel777]

Training with a plan of what one wants to accomplish that day/week. Being efficient in the session by knowing what is needed to be completed. If training with external weights, having the area staged or all objects within a reasonable distance form one another (like in a gym). Having the types of training planned and a timer to work on quality reps. (Note: quality, perfect form reps = strength and power gains, however, it also means that ones previous rep count goes much lower. This is more than okay! It gives the practitioner all of the same benefits but cuts down on the time taken to complete. ) These types of reps frees up valuable time to practice other aspects of fitness, for a more balanced approach. He has a few training breakdowns in the Superfunctional Training book that takes one from beginner to master and it's very much worth the small price (especially while it's still on discount) for the huge gains one makes with it. I hope this helps. Stay safe, stay healthy, and have a peaceful evening.

I've been following Vahva Fitness, AthleanX, and Calisthenic Movement for a long time, and recently discovered your channel. Your holistic and multi-angled approach to fitness, positivity, succinct and eloquent explanations, and gorgeous English countryside backdrops in every video resonate with my life very much. Your videos are very inspiring and even peaceful and meditative given the beautiful outdoor shots. Excellent work brother!

[@LyssLiLi]

Beginner Question: Train Strength first, Hypertrophy second or do both at the same time focusing on Strength or Hypertrophy?

[@tatapramod277]

I'm not that much of a expert, but trainning for strength is best cause it can give a feel for body usage and promote stamina for further new excercises.

[@LyssLiLi]

@@tatapramod277 But, training strength solely doesn't really give you that built look. You'll feel strong, yes. But, not look strong. if you catch my drift.

[@GibsonReal]

Depends. If you’re a decently active person you should be ok going into lifting and focusing on strength, I would recommend Strongman training for that. If you’re sedentary (sit in a chair all day) or if you can’t do 50 push-ups, 10 pull-ups, and 30 dips than I would say you should focus on building a base before you start purely focusing on the compound lifts. If you don’t put in the time before and strengthen up your tendons, you’re just gonna get injured. The Bioneers ebook actually has a really good training program to start out on to build that tendon strength.

[@NaturalHypertrophy]

They're different sides of the same coin Train both and focus on whichever you like best

[@petermozuraitis5219]

The earlier you are in your lifting "career" the more strength training will trigger hypertrophy. Just because 8-12 reps is the "hypertrophy" range and 1-6 is the strength range doesn't mean you won't trigger muscle growth with lower reps, just less so if hypertrophy is your primary goal.

[@vinnydesteur9051]

[@Chadams_Vlogs]

THANK YOU ADAM. just what I've been looking for as an INTP looking for all round fitness. I've wanted to do so much more than simply bodybuilding. I've wanted to be strong, be able to fight, be able to climb, parkour, calisthenics, swim, be mobile, be able to run , sprint and also be a thinker. I have aspired to be a warrior philosopher but didn't know where to start. Your program is just what I needed and has saved me a lot of headache. It's nice to finally have someone I can look up to and emulate. Thanks for everything you stand for.
