Bioneer, I am not a native english speaker and sometimes is really hard for me to get the medical, physical and biology concepts you explain in your videos. The problem is I am more used to US English. Can you put subtitles in your videos please? I would really appreciate it! Sending you a big hug from Costa Rica, pura vida!

Calisthenics and interacting with the world through hikes, bouldering, swimming and rowing when younger has helped me a lot as I go through aging.

[@dannyboy8067]

If you're like me, train like Mr Burns

Yeah because you'll lose your agility as you get older anyway so bulking won't really have that much of an effect.

The goal is to die young as late as possible.

[@sen5i]

59 years old. The last 4 years I have hardly moved my body and have eaten too much. I am 35lbs over my comfortable weight and completely out of condition. Bioneer’s videos have inspired me and today I got off my arse and started some slow and gentle movements and squats. It’s a start. I was flexible, lean and strong before and I have just started my journey to regain that state. If I can do it, you can too.

[@genxr1141]

keep at it! looking at my granda who is 60 it has completely changed my views on what old age is, he barely looks in his 40s and all he really does is eat healthy and get regular excersise. i look forward to being the ‘young’ 60 year old even though i’m only 19, don’t worry though i’m not taking anything for granted in my young age and i’m trying to make the most of it:)

[@TheStrengthHive]

I'm 43 and in the best shape of my life because of your channel. I can now do things I could only dream of 10 years ago when I THOUGHT I was in good shape. Yeah back then I could bench and squat a ton, but I was shit shape.... Imbalance issues, injuries, boredom, and so on... I came upon your channel and started utilizing various methods of training. The one thing that has helped a ton is integrating gymnastic workouts and also outside park ones. Thanks again for this channel and much respect!

[@mbogucki1]

I love watching your vids but have a request. Any chance you can get a buddy or volunteer who is an absolute beginner, I mean someone who can't do a push-up or pull-up, someone who can't touch his/her toes etc, and maybe do a workout vid with them? Why do I ask? As a beginner/novice it would be nice to see someone like myself struggling with workouts and getting better over time rather than watching already fit people become...more fit? Just a thought.

[@deany252]

Great idea

That's who we work mostly with here at 1st4Fitness. People who don't like gyms for one reason or another or are an absolute beginner. We would be willing to work with Adam on this. Fully understand where you are coming from

I'm 63, last four years sedentary. Seventh week into rebuilding. First five weeks OK but the sixth week started having tendon issues and had to stop. Back at it again from scratch and at a slower pace. Never too old? We shall see. So far the process is unpleasant and extremely challenging. Thanks for the info. Love your vids.

[@stevenkarner6872]

Keep at it but remain intelligent in your training. I am 61( for a few more weeks ) and have been training for decades. It will make a difference. Finding ways to "exercise" that you enjoy definitely helps! Adam addressed this recently. Take care.

fasting will also help in the long run

[@WozWozEre]

@@LTPottenger lol. Fasting is far from being proven to have any significant benefits. Ignore the fasting zealots and eat sensibly.

[@Dd-fb2tj]

late 20's?...then I suggest they get to a doctor.....you are coming into your peak late 20's and early 30s

[@LTPottenger]

@@WozWozEre Wrong, it took down my uncontrolled blood pressure immediately and helped in many other ways I did not expect. Some of the many benefits of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: Fribrosis/scarring is reversed. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Fasting is beneficial for all infections but especially for viral infections: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqPMpqmLn7SHg5I Is fasting just the same as caloric restriction? No! Dieting increases the hunger hormone ghrelin while fasting decreases it and has many other health benefits! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYfPXqGfoc2KgsU What breaks a fast? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZK1faZ5pd2sadE When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it and builds muscle! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHu4daiZd7ypatU Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJamkJp_h5eNZ5Y The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, it never uses mainly glucose for fuel and using glucose for fuel is very biochemically damaging! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJeUm6qDl9uBrtk Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Fasting can make you gain muscle faster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OwaXqIr9h8f8k Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Fasting reverses metabolic syndrome, which is tightly correlated to Chronic Fatiguque Syndrome, high blood pressurecancer and many other chronic diseases. Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Was starting to get joint pain that lasted a few years, but Gymnastic Bodies made the rotator cuff pain go away, and after a few weeks of dumbbell wrist extensions, no more wrist pain. So crucial to take care of your joints...but you just have to do the right exercises. Now I've been doing SuperFunctional 2.0, and it's amazing! Perfect program for me.

I'm enjoying being the healthiest, strongest, most fit I have ever been at 68. Why is that important. I nearly died at 62. Whisked to a hospital with an angina attack, I recovered, and the ER doctor told me, "The Universe has given you a second chance. What are you going to do about it?" Well...I took action, and over the next five years, with many bobbles along the way, I dropped my weight from about 260 lbs (about 118 kgs) to 160 lbs (almost 73 kgs). In 2021, I entered a Body Transformation Challenge and won a gold medal provincially, and a silver medal nationally. Prior to that? Nothing...no phys. ed training...no athletic skills or even interest. Why write you? Your philosophy of training has ignited new fires of fitness passion...total fitness...functional fitness. I am training like...Alfred. To get to Bruce Wayne, you have to go through...me! I'm adapting your exercises for my own aging and relatively athletically untrained physique...and having a ball! It's been great to be here...and train like...a super-hero's butler. "Oh, is my grip hurting you? Think how much it will hurt if I start...trying!"

I would love to see a video on “scheduling Batman.” How could he fit in all his training, crime fighting, recovery, research AND the very intense job of running a multi-billion dollar company without some kind of time machine 😅 I think he would need a periodised program, including blocks of intense training and sleep extension (like you mentioned previously), a “peak” block where he takes a holiday from Wayne industries and just tries to maintain his strength while patrolling every night, then a recovery block to make sure he can keep it up for the long haul.

A lot of what we call aging is really just the product of our modern lifestyle. Hunter gatherers often live long lives if they make it past their childhood/child-bearing/warrior years. They remain active and healthy into old age, and then their health goes downhill quickly before they die. Going downhill slowly over the decades is not inevitable. I plan to be doing pull ups when I'm 80.

Hope to start working out with a plan starting September. Now I am focusing on gaining energy and stamina gradually. I do various stretches too each day. And anabolic sprints one or twice a week. Need to start hill climbing again, and riding a bike.

I'm in my early 30s and I used to chase nothing but strength and some skills but 2020 caught me a lot to change my priorities so I still focus on strength but I also focus on longevity and resilience so I'm going to enjoy a video regarding longevity. Thanks Adam!

[@LatimusChadimus]

It's Adam, isn't it? I've only been watching for a couple of months so I can't say that I know it for sure

[@hekkrjs2698]

How did you change your training regime to be more focused on longevity or resilience?

[@rizzwan-42069]

@@hekkrjs2698 well idk what he did but i do know how to change it it’s even in the video the atg(athletic truth group) they focus on longevity and bullet proofing i can attest that if it weren’t for atg i’d be even more depressed right now having no hope for my knees and my body in general but today despite still having weak knees but i rarely am in pain i can fully squat down and squat pain free which wasn’t possible back then for me and also to add even more i suggested atg to a random person on the internet who had knee pain i told him about atg and he thanked me for helping him before he was complaining about knee pain afterwards he was running and i say this bc i don’t want you to think that atg is trying to brand exercises to make money bc someone with a degree a physical therapist said that so just keep my experience in mind

Do videogames also increase brain plastisicity and health?

[@markhatfield5621]

Kudos to Tony C. I'm 68 and began training at age 15. Never had coaches or trainers. Tried what seemed like a variety of things. Wish I knew at age 20 what I know now, or even to know it 20 years ago. I've always been slower and lack the reflexes of most guys but later I found in various things I could beat those guys because I trained and they didn't. Further I look at where I am and where I've been and think I should have been able to achieve much more and even to be much more right now BUT now when I look at my friends and contemporaries, I find they see me as the one who is strong, fit, and healthy.

Thanks, Mark!

[@jimbochoo3316]

Great work. I was really skinny and a wimpy looking as a kid and into my very early 20s. I was being made fun of for being small as a kid and looking like a baby. My body didn't really catch up to my age until my early 20s, was a late bloomer. I am near 50 and I really look like I'm in my 30s as I still have a thick head of black hair with very little gray hair. Some of it is good genetics, but I've also been on a regular exercise program since my early 20s and never made any excuses to take days off. People who used make fun of me today are fat, balding, and look old. Today, I still wear the same pant size as when I was in my 20s (size 30) but with a bigger and stronger physique.

[@surrealistidealist]

0:57 Hold on there! Humans still have to do lifelong learning and teaching with our peers, elders and children, and that has a powerful impact on the survival of our kin, and therefore on our genetics and evolution!

[@davidfranz5215]

Awesome to see more of Liam in this! Would love to see him in future videos too.

simply put the most introspective and well produced fitness channel on KZbin! as a medical student, I really appreciate your consideration of evidence and all aspects of fitness, beyond what we see in just bodybuilding

[@aaronag7876]

Never too old lol most days it feels like we are past it. It's all good and well to show younger fitter men but your title talks about never being too old ? Maybe show us dad bodes how we can turn it around and have some level of fitness?

[@Navigation24-7]

You’re right, how old is this guy? We’ll see how he does at 65y old. Aging is natural and not trying to be Batman🙄

[@deinse82]

I don't think it's true that HIIT alone will get you mitochondrial density. For mitochondrial density, you must train your slow twitch muscle fiber as well, with low to medium intensity training. And way more of it than HIIT. HIIT is recommended for obtaining a high VO2max. That is also very important for longevity, of course.

[@mjamesc07]

As someone one has purchased your latest book/program but am a relative novice in training I am feeling overwhelmed and wondered if you could do a video about easing into training/the program.

[@Durzo1259]

Actually the #1 way to avoid age-related cognitive decline isn't learning, it's a social life. Rates of dementia and cognitive decline are profoundly lower among people who have an active social life into old age. (and this is coming from a hermit like me)

[@i_sartist5563]

I’ll watch this video again when I turn 60.

[@4himsanctified]

Great videos as always. I'd drop attributing how the human body is designed as "evolution". Bunk actually

[@raresmocanu1743]

That evolutionary shadow thing doesn't really.... Make sense? First there's parental involvement while the kid is still young. Then there's the social, tribal aspect. Geriatrics had all the evolutionary reasons to still be fit, at the very least from the time we had social structures, if not earlier.

[@nicolasgiaconia]

Do you play any instruments? I think you would find much value and enjoyment in it, if you were to commit to such a journey.

[@MaSTerKNivEE]

I love your vids but What you said in the beggining doesn't make any sense. How is it adventagous for our kind to just die instead of keeping procreating and helping your kids, grandkids ect. and others? I tell you why we age, it is becouse all world is cursed by God becouse of sin. There was no death before sin and wages of sin is death but gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ. So this world and bodies are going to trash eventually but our spirit can be brought to life by faith in The Son of God. Belivers will get eventually our indestructable gloryfied bodies without sin and we will allways be with The Lord, rulling the universe much better then this. So don't wait belive in Jesus Christ and his promise of everlasting life. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." This is gift of God not of works.

I'm 57. I'd like to keep playing recreational soccer for as long as possible. This video gives me hope.

[@fredfredburger5150]

I lifted weights in my teenage years. I've picked it up again in my mid 40's. The differences I've noticed are: - I have way more grip strength than I did - I need more recovery time between sets and workout sessions (for the same muscle group) - I can't work out for as long as I could - I find it easier to pack on size than I did Apart from that I can't say I've noticed any real differences.

[@Deondre_Clark]

Of all the videos on this channel that I have enjoyed this one seems made specifically for me. Outing myself as an aging batman fan boy

[@possle]

34 year olds - started gymnastics as a new exercise routine. Minimum once a week. I definitely and trying to keep fit for my future. I know people my age who can't tie their shoes with out running out of breath

[@glitzandgratitude1170]

Training while older Set realistic goals Warm up and warm up some more.. Do not do the no pain no gain attitude you will just be side lined for too long. Live your life like you are in physio and build from there and be thankful you have a body and are able to do this each day.

[@MeltedMask]

There is allways some pain. Little pain now to evade greater in future. But this only applied to muscle pain, not joint pain and every acute pain while exersice is big stop sign. Especially older ones forgot what normal DOMS are.

[@colmwhateveryoulike3240]

Don't overlook kin selection - the reason humans are thought to live so long after reproductive age even in spite of not actively passing on genes. Two factors - grandparents add wisdom and culture and practical support to grandchildren, and childless uncles and aunts do the same. All of them contribute to the survival of genes they share with the grandchildren/nephews/nieces.

[@yumni.0334]

The medicine ball tip would have been useful last month Felt like I dislocated my jaw with that and kept testing the rest of my workout :''(

[@abigailhillen-schiller3641]

Normally I really enjoy your videos, but rn I'm worried for all the people with already knackered knees who might be going out for hard sprints or trying parkour for the first time because you said it was a good idea, only to come home unable to walk again for days or weeks. Speaking as someone with more than their fair share of musculoskeletal issues, I feel it was irresponsible to make this video without some kind of disclaimer that people who already have these wear-and-tear injuries should adapt the level of their training to their abilities and in consultation with their medical care provider.

[@dw5523]

Course Batman being a billionaire probably has the best medication and sleeps in a hyper baric chamber. Letting him slow if not completely stop the degradation of his DNA and build up of senescent cells in his body.

[@Marshadow69]

At last! someone who realizes that after reproduction age, evolution is not a principle which can inform us a great deal. This is something which is also affects how we might think about many protocols for optimal health, including diet.

[@lf5523]

Wtf! Deppresing! By 4 minutes I had to pause and contemplate my decline, please tell me what’s good about being older. And on to the rest of the video. 🤪 🤞

[@didiaotrading4010]

0:56 Regarding natural selection: Staying in good shape when you get older and have passed past the point where you can procreate and transmit your genes can still be beneficial for the future evolution of the species and will impact natural selection. Stay in good shape after getting old means you are still capable to take care of your children or grand children, feeding them, protecting them, teaching them, and by doing so, you increase they opportunities to procreate and pass on their genes, and so your genes as well. Simple natural selection at work here.

[@dehn6581]

Yup, the evolutionary shadow as described leaves out the grandmother/grandparent theory around personal reproductive decline in that there are benefits in helping our children care for their kids and our wider community to help our genes survive.

Another great video, but this one could have been more fun with a few more Dark Knight references and cinematic clips, to balance out all the sharing of research.

[@burneyvisser]

At 62 I find recovery a lot slower and Nanna knap everyday. Training only 4 to 5 times a week for 1 to 2hrs rather than 3 to 4hrs 6 days a week. Acceptance of limitations that come with aging will help prevent new additional injuries that you will have to work around. Diet and good nutrition cannot be stressed enough. Great vid-)

[@taoist32]

Doing more whole body movement such as yoga or Tai Chi also help keep fascia and joints more mobile. I find I need more mobility routines as I get older (almost 50). Plus chiropractic work also keeps the body and nervous system in better balance.

[@Kaledrone]

Why were you training 3 to 4 hrs at all st any point of your life? Do you really think that shit is normal? No it's not, most peoples routines last around a hour and a half at best. You're not supposed to train endlessly for 4 hours a day at any point in your life if you're not some sort of a pro athlete, and most of them are on steroids and peds too just to deal with the fatigue. No wonder you'd get tired if that used to be your routine.
