The Secret to Effective Beginner Workouts | Don Saladino

[@lynnegerber5286]

Enjoy listening to your podcast. I am a young 79 year old. I have been lifting weights at home. Take different exercise classes. I can carry heavy packages from the store. Don't want to be the frail old lady but a strong lady that can live a good life

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

Me too! But...never pass up the opportunity to learn more 😃 So...I'm joining Dr. L's Forever Strong upcoming Bootcamp!😁😉

Respect to you for your gains at 79 .

[@glenntimberlake2413]

Excellent.!

[@Gingerinthesouth]

This is great to break down all the most important for all ages. I’m 56 and loving all the info ! Thanks Dr Lyon and Dan! Love it❤

[@gailhumiston3890]

I'm relieved to hear the guest has more grace for others than Dr. Lyons. There's more than one definition of success and more than one path. You have to meet people where they're at. Most of us do not have the resources of this doc.

[@dundiecrisp985]

Love the book! Working on my wellness journey & adding wt training at age 64. And the info is so helpful but in this episode, “for beginners” it would be helpful if you keep it mind many “beginners” do not YET know the names of most of the exercises and abbreviations you use nonstop in your talk.

[@kathycummings5351]

I have never left a comment before, I Love your guest. Common sense approach to everything!!❤

[@CynthiaL-p4c]

I’m 72 and have restarted my fitness journey two months ago and just love Dr. Lyon!

I've been a strength and conditioning specialist for 17 years at a Division I school. Unintentionally many of these guys forget who their audience is and make things seem complicated. If you really want to understand what you need to work on, turn the noise volume down to zero and look up Starting Strength. Focus on: Squats Deadlifts Horizontal presses (bench press or dumbbell press) Vertical presses (military press with DB or barbell) Chin-ups (assisted at first, eventually unassisted) If you're young and want to work on more athleticism, add in some basic power cleans. It reminds me of when I first got hired as a strength and conditioning coach at the first university I worked at. I was showing the head S&C all my complex training modalities and programming. He looked at me with his old, grizzled expression and asked, "You know who is impressed with complexity?" Before I could answer, he said, "Stupid people." A decade and a half later, I have to agree with him. The principles are much simpler than you'd ever believe. It's the work itself that's difficult.

[@AlastrionaS]

Thank you! Very well said.

[@kcc879]

My de-motivation has been trying to find a trainer that will take me to the next step without the 200g of carbs. I have had old injuries flare up out of nowhere when I tried the new eating plan and I haven't been able to get back into the gym since. It's been 8 weeks or so. Now it's just back into cleaning and movement and lots of walking. But my body would sing after weight training, I loved it! I need someone who respects where I come and who I am and has my back in this. Next week I aim to get back into the gym and see my hip goes. I was consistently going 4 days a week ! I had finally got there and then it came crashing down with this old injury. Just have to heal, be disciplined in my food and work my way back up to it.

[@DrGabrielleLyon]

Don't give up! Great work!

[@fitlifewithtammy]

This was an amazing podcast. It was very easy to listen to and understand. I definitely got a lot of valuable information that I can use moving forward. Thank you.

[@stuff2due]

I use to like going to the gym, mostly when I was younger, had no kids and then one very young child. I could make the time for the gym, but my life would be more rushed and stressful. It takes more travel time to go to one that I feel is worth it. Now I have a bunch of adjustable dumbbell sets in different weights, a small barbell, one kettlebell, an exercise bike and some bands in my home gym/secondary living room. It's convenient and keeps me consistent. It's also a reminder when I see it every day. It defiantly makes sense for a lot of people to workout at home cost wise, people who struggle to make time or can't afford the extra stress/time for travel.

[@ambervelasquez904]

Second dip in the comments 😂but thank you again for the directness around how alcohol really affects you! I’ve noticed most ppl tip toe around this subject. Health is the main reason I’m now 6 months sober

[@robertwhitehead1174]

Don is definitely a one of one. Thank you both for an awesome episode.

[@jennyyeh4730]

Where’s the link to the exercise programme you guys created ?

[@antonsidelnikov]

Don Salad In-0 is the most gifted name for health and longevity coach :)

[@imhotepjasonduncanson6068]

Thank you for this, I am still new to the Gym. I wish someone made this information available in Highschool or public school system from Elementary and College too. I remember as a kid always having Physical Education classes, and sometimes the Gym teachers were overweight and taught the kids about workout, they just gave instructions not demonstration the activity or exercises. Sidenote, my father was a P.E. and Highschool Public and Private Sport Coach, I remember he always fit and went to College for Physical Education.

[@Awakened5D]

I feel the same & I'm 92! You can do it!

[@simplehealthyliving4681]

Fake. No 92 year old has a sarcastic picture in their profile.

[@kimcasem]

Your book “Forever Strong” is excellent. I am in my fifties and also have rheumatoid arthritis. Have you worked with anyone with RA or similar autoimmune issues? I’m interested in weight lifting modifications for my joint limitations , and have never had success with the trainers at the local gyms being knowledgeable about such a niche issue

[@constantchanges00]

I'm really loving the interview, thanks so much. Is there a way for me to find or purchase just the Beginners Strength Training program without the Six Week Boot Camp? (I'm 74 and the boot camp is too expensive for my low fixed income) It would be so appreciated to have the Beginners Training available for folks in my financial situation. Thanks for everything!

[@mommybreakdown]

I’m new to the podcast after the collab with Dr. Huberman, and I’ve already consumed quite a bit of content. I’m looking forward to this new one. Thanks!!

[@mommybreakdown]

Finished 🎉. It was informative and very sweet to hear about your friendship and excitement for health & longevity

[@DrGabrielleLyon]

Happy to have you!

[@petalmissette781]

25 minutes, I came running!!! Feeling great on day 2

[@patriciacarnevallidemirand6727]

I just started listening to the podcast, and Don has already said the main tool for training - discipline. We don't always feel motivated to train, but discipline is key. My work schedule only allowd me to workout at the end of the day. Every day I wake up motivated to do my series, but life happens, and the end of the day comes, I almost always feel discouraged/not motivated. That's when we have to respect ourselves and start the workout. Discipline i doesn't come just at the time to hit the gym, but also when we maintain proper nutrition and hydration and quality of sleep to have the energy to workout.

[@karenkincaid174]

Incredible interview, so glad you ended it with Faith!

[@Sandratchan1]

Dr. Lyons great podcast as always! You are a geriatrics Dr. Can we talk more about pain and training? How to train with arthritis for example? Thank you for all you do. You are inspirational!

[@sarahmiller8742]

I love your work Dr. Lyon!

[@easylisening7318]

Where can i find the beginners workout you two developed

[@JoyceWrightPierce]

Thanks for the restaurant recommendation in Houston. My husband and I have been looking for a great healthy restaurant in H town!

[@LisaGrimard]

Love this workout. Excellent. Please let’s see more 30 minutes upper body and abs. Smaller bottle for me. I fill up at least 4 times a day.

[@jalensjournal]

- Together we are forever STRONG 💪

[@josiepatla2164]

I am 64 years old and workout at home daily. I lift 30-45 minutes and cycle at different intensities for an hour. What I would like to know is how to gain the best of what a gym has to offer at home. I think I have most areas covered, but trying to decide whether to add weight pulley system or multi station unit?

[@tonystonebraker]

Down 160 and trying to build muscle now. Loved the info.

[@kentlasater6202]

I prefer using resistance bands and have used a number of different programs. Does Mr. Saladino have a program for bands?

[@ambervelasquez904]

I don’t know what I’m looking at! 😂 Thank you for the good information

[@sactko6]

So good.

[@sherridevries9144]

An awesome thing i love to add in my lifestyle is Baobab powder. Amazing stuff. I have it everyday

[@rsantalo]

Loved this - thank you ! Just finished Forever Strong (LOVED❤❤❤❤ IT!! )

[@DrGabrielleLyon]

So happy you found it valuable!

[@tryambikashah3597]

Love this

[@melissaanneler4228]

There is nothing more frustrating than investing the time into a podcast to be misled that you would receive access to a workout in the "show notes". Why even bring that up if you aren't going to link it? Disappointing.

[@josiepatla2164]

Creatinine has affected my kidney function, what can I use as an alternative?

[@lisahysell984]

Where can I find the dumbell program? Still listening to podcast and maybe u say later but couldn't find it below this podcast

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

@lisahysell984 Maybe they are referring to Dr. Lyon's Forever Strong 6-wk Bootcamp (?) I kind of think so, bc I just got her 2nd newsletter on it - answering some common questions about the Bootcamp. The newsletter does state that gym access is unnecessary, but that access to free weights (e.g., 'dumbbells') will be necessary. The 6-wk program is behind a paywall, though. Fairly affordable, imo, as this type of offer goes. (but I did find it a bit out of my reach). I did ask about a possible low-income discount, and I got an encouraging answer... (hint - if that's something you'd need - I would encourage you to ask,as well.) The bootcamp begins next Monday 7/8. When I asked about a possible disct'd price, I simply hit 'reply' to the first email she sent (about a week ago) introducing the bootcamp, abd received an emailed response. The full Bootcamp program includes diet & recipes, a workout protocol, as well as 'mindset' (inspiration, encouragement, etc.) I have taken her classes before - which did not include a fitness protocol but was focused on her muscle-centric protein diet. Have to say, it was very well put together and I learned alot😊 Apparently, you are not subscribed to her newsletter? (I presume)? You can go to her website to sign up for it - or there may be a link for the bootcamp below this video ...not sure. She does mention - as an ad - the bootcamp in this video. So, yah, I do think that where they discuss a dumbbell workout in this video, they are referring to the Bootcamp program...in a sort of nuanced way. Happy lifting😊💪🏋‍♀️

[@DrGabrielleLyon]

Hi! I included it in my 6- week bootcamp that starts July 8th! drgabriellelyon.com/forever-strong-6-week-bootcamp/

[@rosamoreno4794]

Is this man related to Paul Saladino? Eucharistic minister and homebound minister here…..Faith is everything and Christ is King! In the end, all you have is you & Christ.

[@crud1101]

Why leave out SENIORS trying to stay in shape. Our metabolism is TOTALLY different requirement then younger folks 30+ somethings...send SENIORS some love and fitness training.

[@wow50plus9]

All of the exercises he spoke about are reasonable and doable for anyone at any age, unless you have some physical limitations.

[@Cjean821]

Love this video. So helpful and informative. Just purchased your book, Dr.!

[@DrGabrielleLyon]

Yay, thank you! Looking forward to hearing how you like the book.

[@kerstincastell1175]

Great info but if you are talking to "beginners" we would have no idea what you are saying with the abbreviated terms

[@kerstincastell1175]

She did great at reaching for better explanation from him 😊

[@badacob]

thank you for great content :)

[@DrGabrielleLyon]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

'Liked'👍b/4 watching😃 Haha...because, well... Dr. Lyon!! What's not to like ?😉

[@crud1101]

Good info in podcast....too many product/service promo...too commericals

[@laelaharder8871]

Alot of good info but I wish she’d let him talk and get his point across.

[@Melodie007]

Good

[@douglasnitcher1468]

If I was an experienced lifter I may have a clue what he is saying. May be good for trainer’s training beginners. But if the idea was to encourage us newbees totally missed the mark.😢

[@marksegel3994]

What is your opinion of doing a upper body set and then immediately going and doing a lower body set and alternating rather than sitting for three minutes

[@mbolden393]

That's fine because you're still resting each muscle group as you alternate. If your heart rate and breathing rate become too high you might need a rest in between. If you're working out in the gym it usually depends on how busy it is and whether you're able to hog the equipment for two sets of exercises at the same time.

[@sommertoth6951]

I feel like this episode isn’t for beginners. 😅

[@dundiecrisp985]

Yep. Talking way over the understanding of most of the beginners like me. Keep it basic for us as we start bc we don’t know the names of these exercises yet and you are losing us. “Beginners talk” pls talk to us in basic terms or include a brief explanation.

[@adeletaylor4327]

Trying to covert the pounds to kilograms 😊

[@nessiemupfeki]

The 1st podcast I have watched from Lyon. I think Dr Lyon tlyou are a terrible interviewer. You interrupt too much with a new question before the person responds to the original question.

[@NoniJeanKaufman]

Too hard to follow to know what he’s talking about.

[@DrGabrielleLyon]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@PropheticCoachTheresa]

Yeah, there's no value to alcohol. The momentary release of stress results in order's of magnitude more stress on the back end. Especially as we age. I'm 20 months alcohol free and never going back.

[@janicemorris6085]

You havecso much content. I loathe that music you have as your theme

[@DrGabrielleLyon]

Thank you!

[@paulinelo6989]

This is too complicated for a beginner to understand. Sounds amazing if I knew what you were saying x

[@MarthaHenson-zp1kw]

It is difficult for a world class professional to keep it simple even though GL keeps trying to bring him back to basics😂

[@sterlgirlceline]

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

How is a 1-arm carry a core exercise? Anyone know?

[@nicholeh1280]

If the weight is heavy enough for you, you have to use your core to counter balance the weight as you walk upright.

[@lovinreginald]

the job of the core is to keep the spine/upper body in a straight/neutral/normal position. When you carry/hold weight on one side of your body, your core, if strong enough, will keep your spine in that straight/neutral/normal position. as the weight gets heavier, this gets really hard to do. you will begin to lean to the side of the weight and you will no longer be in that straight/neutral/normal position. I'm not the best at explaining this stuff... try holding the heaviest kettlebell or dumbbell you can with one hand and walk for a short distance while keeping normal posture. this is called a single arm farmer's walk.

[@MarthaHenson-zp1kw]

My PT coach says the resistance from the opposite side of the body activates the core and improves balance....if, you maintain straight posture.

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

​@lovinreginald Yes😊 thanks so much for the extended explanation. I did Google this in the meantime,andd yes Google stated exactly as you've said. They did refer to it as a 'suitcase carry' rather than farmer's one arm carry - but Farmer's description fits as well👌 Thanks again for the clarification. Makes perfect sense to me now.😊

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

​​@@MarthaHenson-zp1kw Thanks so much for the clarification😊 Makes sense to me now...but at first I thought WTH! how on earth could carrying a weight in one hand condition my abs?😮 ...well, turns out that it's actually the core that's engaged (I immediately mistook this for abs) - but still I think this would affect the abs, as well. But! Carry on the other side as well, hehe😅 - just to even things up.😄
