Something you omit saying about the vshred guy is that this guy is young and naturally ripped, I used to be that way not doing anything, some people are just lean and its frustrating seeing guys and girls that you can tell are naturally lean pretending being that way by training or supplements, also when you are in your 20s you should shut up and not give advices, give advices if you are lean at 50 ; I had 6packs at 35 I could have bullshitted social media about training but that’s just dishonest ; when you have a lean body type you are lean your whole life unless you really abuse bad foods…

I had a free consultation with a VShred rep. At the end they told me a six month program would cost me $6,000 about a thousand dollars a month, for a diet and exercise plan. I explained to the rep/trainer that I literally had no money in the bank and didn’t know where rent would come from that month. Their response was “then get a loan, what is your health worth to you?” I couldn’t believe they said that. So disappointing and scammy.

[@restojon1]

Thank you for your honesty and integrity mate, there are people like myself out here who used to be in shape, but in my case have ended up with spinal cord injuries and are desperate to feel better and fit again. When people like V-Shred dangle the carrot it's hard not to get drawn in, you just want to be better again but you know you can't exercise like normal people do so you'll take whatever is on offer. Combine that with painkillers that don't help your judgement and you can end up very poor very quick, a situation that when you're already down, you don't need kicking... I wish you the best in your current employment.

I will confess, I did try his "system." In five months, I had four different "trainers." Most of the "diet" centred around protein bars and shakes. I told them that I couldn't do some exercises because I am in a wheelchair with a spinal injury, so what did they give me for an exercise routine? Planks, crunchies and standing HIIT exercises!?! I definitely saw the light and left. Now I am just winging it with exercises I can do from researching seated exercises, seated yoga and pilates, and working with a macro calculator.

@@normiedeathsquad40 I used to see a pro physiotherapist for half a decade, but she was treating me with kid gloves, even my spinal surgeon wanted more challenging workouts to help with muscle growth. I found a physiotherapist out of Houston that I have viral workouts with every other day. He is also in a wheelchair, and he gives me a great workout and gives me tips on how to center and balance myself when my legs and hips want to do their own thing. It is this knowledge that only another wheelchair user can relate to, no abled body person can even imagine. He definitely opened my eyes to a new light in bodybuilding. I used to be a bodybuilder through my teens and college days, and I am feeling that burning energy inside me once again that I have lost for decades.

I’m so glad this video came out. I’m so sick and tired of this guy saying to stop doing cardio and cutting carbs while trying to lose weight. I’m 51 years old and I gain weight extremely easily. I have always been active. I competed in gymnastics and played soccer for years. When I graduated high school I joined a gym and have been working out in gyms since. I hated running but had to do it because of sports. I am a lucky because one day I was running and all of a sudden while running up a hill something happened and I picked up my speed and have loved running ever since that day. I have health problems including rheumatoid arthritis so I have to be careful. I bought myself a treadmill a couple years ago and I run about 25 miles a week and walk at a fast pace on the highest incline for about 10 miles per week. When I’m running it clears my head and I feel great. I build muscle easily so I’m motivated to weight train because I will see results. When I was 19 I ate little to no fat, sugar and low calories. I saw zero results. I added protein and cut carbs and saw a huge change. I know what it takes my body to get results.

[@philfromkali]

Right!! Thank you!

[@TheCandyShop]

Exactly this. I have PCOS which my doctor explained to me as this. 1. If he checked my BLOOD SUGAR, I'd be fine because I'm non-diabetic. If he checked my INSULIN levels, however, they'd be through the roof. Because as someone with PCOS. I'm insulin resistant. 2. In people with PCOS, the body basically gets confused about the extra insulin. It doesn't know what it is, and for some reason assumes it's estrogen. So our bodies assume we have an excess of estrogen, which is why we're infertile. Because we basically become our own birth control. So what do those two things mean? It means if I eat a bunch of carbs, spike my blood sugar, spike my insulin WAY fucking high, then my body is going to assume I have a ton of estrogen in it and it's going to cause me to pack away fat. If I CUT CARBS... my BS stays low, my insulin stays low, which means I have "decreased estrogen," which means I can actually burn fat and lose the weight. And as I lose the weight and my hormone levels balance out, my infertility MAY line out. It's why women with PCOS get pregnant so easily after bariatric surgery a lot of times (provided there aren't other issues going on) Yeah, that Vshred guy is a moron. Test different things. You may not have a varying "body type" but you might have conditions that cause you to lose weight differently than others. If I cut calories alone, I'm getting nowhere.

Okay -- I am so gratified to see your work on this video. Everytime I see this guy, I want to throw something. I'm 50 years old; I've been at this for over thirty years and suffered every mutation of the fitness-seeking lifestyle (including being 100 pounds overweight and having to fight back from that). I went to college. I took Bio, A&P, kinesiology. Steady state cardio works the things you don't see but very much benefit from: heart, lungs and metabolic efficiency (the ability to support sustained activity). Try to function without these abilities, or with them severely diminished (as happens with age and inactivity). When you do train this capacity, it's not as much a difference you can see, but then you look back and say, "Wow, I started out biking five miles, now I'm doing twenty-five, and I move much lighter and more free." Thank you for doing this work and bringing it to the public. You have a new subscriber.

I LOVE both HIIT and steady state running, if you're only burning 300 calories in an hour you're not running fast enough (or you need to add in some hills/resistance.) The great thing about running is, if you get to the end and you don't think you've worked hard enough just tack on a mile or two and go harder. I find that I have trouble and usually injure myself by throwing on extra sets of weights (unless I do something like bare bar and super high reps.)

I loved using the elliptical at a high resistance as my first workout of the day. 30 mins, level 15-16 at a fast pace bc it felt so dang good. Like trance for my brain.

[@CM-ky5go]

@@smjaitehThere are numerous studies on HIIT and because of the stress it puts on your cardiovascular system, greater than that of medium intensity cardio training, there are numerous benefits. Firstly, your maximum oxygen uptake will be greater if you do HIIT training. Secondly, and I’m going to quote this from a study…. “during high-intensity continuous or interval exercise that exceeds the threshold stimulus, widespread disturbances occur to both local (muscular) and systemic (cardiovascular, respiratory, neural and hormonal) steady-state. Mostly type II muscle fibers are actively used, which increases ATP production up to 100 times to meet the increased energy demand of the muscle. This subsequently increases intracellular lactate, phosphocreatine, adenosine monophosphate, and adenosine diphosphate accumulation, as well as the activity of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. The increased activation of these kinases induces higher messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of PGC-1α, considered the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. As a result of these physiological processes and cellular stress, which occur in proportion to the intensity of endurance exercise, mitochondrial protein synthesis, and mitochondrial biogenesis are observed.”
