Why are fitness influencers so weird?

[@HybridCalisthenics]

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. Hope everyone has a happy holiday season! At 9:32, apparently the person is so much of a master that she doesn't need the screen on to write a book. I talked about changing this with my editor but we thought it was funny and just left it.

aah too bad for the beard.. you could've grown it like Cao Cao or something it's not the end of the world though, the only thing that matters is to be a good person!

[@henrycollins2478]

All banana diet makes sense. Gorilla eat banana, gorilla big and strong. Me eat banana, me become big and strong

[@LionelHsu]

😂😂😂

[@doom-mantia]

All grass diet makes sense. Cow eat grass, cow big and strong. Me eat grass, me become big and strong

[@Godhandcrys]

Don't forget. Gorilla don't need benchpress. Gorilla use Tire. Tire good.

[@FloatingWeeds2]

Hon, can you pick up something for me at the auto supply store on your way home? New industrial scale steel stamping machine lubrication oil diet just dropped on Joe Rogan.

[@criticalmass527]

I agree with that logic

[@auricia201]

Based on personal observation, when someone is focused on being "successful", famous or innovative, they just end making stupid overhyped stuff. But when someone is focused on being Actually good at what they do, even if it's something simple, or not very popular, they have a better chance of making a breakthrough

[@dharomusic]

Sheesh that resonated deeply.

[@josephdillon9698]

That was well said and thought out.

[@wearenotdoinggethelp1077]

In case you're not aware of this, your title has been automatically translated by ai. A couple of days ago, KZbin made the automatical translation for videos turned on by default. This means not only that your title is translated for the non-english audience, but there is also an ai dub available for your video (I think for 5 languages). For us users, there's no way to turn this off (which I find quite annoying because I do understand english as most of the content I watch is in english xD), but you can go into your settings if you don't want these translations. I personally find that the ai does not always make a good job at translating the title and it might even influence your viewer numbers, as it's not clear for us viewers that your video is actually in english. But of course it might also make your content accessible to users that don't speak english. I'd recommend that you do some research to see if you want this feature enabled. Happy holidays (and great video btw). :)

[@bramvanduijn8086]

FYI not all videos get automatically translated, for some reason. It isn't translated for me but occasionally I see a random video translated. I'm trying to train the algorithm by ignoring those videos or marking them as uninteresting.

[@toboldgoodbody8974]

I just switched to German audio and it sounds so weird and funny 😅

[@love-risa]

That's so interesting. I just tried the Spanish audio version 😄

The Banana Diet is widely supported by the Yiga Clan.

This is a rabbithole I'm very interested in

[@NeIIy]

This is the most unexpected reference

[@abbababba8186]

Just wanted to say I really appreciate the respect for the viewer your content always has. It’s nice to finally find a creator that’s informative and entertaining WITHOUT attacking my senses, I’m here for the long haul :)

[@vitomirpasalic9436]

i love your relaxed approach in everything you represent in the video you make on the day. many ppl have forgotten to just approach life with logic and go on the total opposite side of extremism of any kind, what will work for some time, but surely never on the long run. i.e. the rush of caffeine from your first cup in the morning will be most effective if you stayed off coffee for a while and than came back to it...

[@raziel4949]

Merry Christmas! Cheers from Argentina 🙌🏼☀️🇦🇷

[@erwinlimawan3158]

Because engagement drives clicks; nowhere does it say "only positive" engagement. Also, actual research and study is hard.

[@0OB08O]

I'd say it's because they're paid to influence instead of being there for actually caring about people's well being.

[@TwistyKitty]

Any influencer screaming at you about how horrible [insert whatever food here] is, only to turn around and offer to sell you a typically overpriced supplement, they are 100% a scam and just trying to fear monger to make money.

[@harrypottah8889]

Happy holidays Hampton! Thanks for existing!❤

[@namwens1]

It's called attention seeking...

[@mazemary8360]

I personally don't mind hearing well researched information oder helpful reminders around fitness multiple times. I find it actually very valuable because it balances out the toxic or one-sided content that pops up regularly and has a negative influence on my relatrionship with exercise or food. So thank you very much for your videos!

[@BsB-w1x]

Merry Christmas Hampton

[@hellohampton]

Merry Christmas!

[@robbywendel7229]

Merry Christmas! Cheers for all the great videos you release. I appreciate you.

[@ricardodella-ricca9048]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. I take everything I view with a grain of salt, Good quality Celtic salt of course. 😂 I don't take it seriously, however sometimes the content is completely convincing. I guess life is evolving and always shifting. Books were another similar journey. Merry Christmas mate.

[@suburbanlime665]

“…as long as it doesn’t hurt people or obstruct their freedom, pursue what excites you.” Yes I agree!!! 💯 Great video, once again 😎

[@HeartlessKnave]

This video perfectly summarized why upon my physiotherapist mentioning I should start a KZbin channel, that I had to tell him I've absolutely no interest in creating content or being an influencer. There's already enough out there and I want to help people in person, also that my best influence comes from motivating people in person to want to workout or take up physical hobbies due to my passion and energy, and staging it for content seems fake and hokey to me. Otherwise, I just like to study and train myself increasing my knowledge and skills in multiple areas of interest, which will be beneficial in helping others in the same or similar areas, and creating content would just take time away from me doing what I actually enjoy and love doing: Learning, Training, and working with people.

[@SampurnaGhosh-u8b]

Hello Hampton, I want to ask you some serious questions as I’m very confused about making my decision. I have been going to the gym inconsistently for the last 5-6 years. I have never completed six continuous months at the gym but have regularly focused on mobility through daily body movements and occasionally through various cardio exercises. Now, I am quite frustrated with the typical gym culture and traditional exercises. For the past two months, I have been practicing basic calisthenics at home, but my apartment is very small, making it difficult to accommodate calisthenics equipment. My Questions: 1. Is it possible to build muscle and strength, along with a well-toned body, by doing basic calisthenics and posture-building workouts? 2. If so, how long would it take to achieve a strong, well-toned physique? 3. Do I need to rejoin the gym for heavy weight training? Is it necessary for maintaining long-term fitness and a toned body? I would greatly appreciate your thorough guidance as I’m feeling very confused and frustrated. Love from India, Wishing you a joyous and peaceful Merry Christmas. ♥️

[@abbykoop5363]

The biggest things that will make me shut off a video is monotone talking, and "background" music that makes it hard to hear the person speaking.

you rock. thank you.

bro i’m literally eating a banana😂

[@vitomirpasalic9436]

see you often enjoy coffee, have created a real passion for it recently, what is the brand you brew, and what method do you use yourself for a nice dark cup of coffee (I prefer aeropress myself)

[@diplenski]

i think it's easy enough to convince people who don't want to do the work to buy your shortcut. not saying it's right or justified, but that's probably where it comes from.

[@robertchristie5015]

Happy holidays Hampton

[@victoriajankowski1197]

nutrition and fitness are uniquely hard but simple, at least at the personal level, most of us know move more, eat your veg etc, but people being easily frustrated apes really want that 1 fix, the one magic thing they've never tried before that will make everything all better and fast, and people looking to make money are more than happy to prey on that very natural desire!

[@kpainay]

I read the thumbnail as "Alabama Diet" 😅

when you mentioned "the i word" i thought you were talking about the ship and crew

[@BasilLeaf_]

Hi. I like to ask a question. I often wake up with back pain and just today, on Christmas, the back pain I felt before suddenly shot up when I sat on a toilet. Now I'm bedridden. What sort of exercise could I do to strengthen my back so things like this won't happen? If someone here is a scout or a personal trainer, I'd like some advice. Mum keeps saying I "lack exercise, lack exercise" but doesn't provide a solution to what kind of exercise I need to do. I do Emi Wong's 30 min full body workout maybe 2 times a week without the arm workouts, so what should I do?

[@derekhines1078]

Not a doc but as someone who has lived with 2 herniated disc for 25 years and never had surgery body weight hip hinges everyday helps me move pain free. The method in Pavel’s book Simple and Sinister taught me. Google it. And eating a nutrient dense anti inflammatory diet is very important; almost no sugar and no grains is the first step.

[@jimmyslaughter6262]

Do you have any tips for someone who is getting into fitness? I noticed my fingers are curling closed when I try to do even wall push ups. Is there a stretch or exercise to help keep my fingers flat?

[@josephdillon9698]

If you’re flexible enough I like to put my palms together with fingers extended like praying but behind my back. It opens my wrists and fingers a lot. But you really don’t have to go behind the back. I stretch my wrists a lot when I’m riding in the car stretching one wrist or fingers while in the car other hand on the wheel. If you need more full body stretching I advise yoga. You can go online and follow along with yoga classes. Because it’s body weight you don’t need to know much to follow along. You can pick up on it as you go along. It’s stretching but also it’s good exercise it works really well. Anyways it helped me I had a fluid filled knee and it’s gotten better with flexibility also my back is used to pull muscles a lot not so much anymore.

[@SubtleNuggets]

Is there a Saint Nick diet?

[@trelligan42]

Of course; Eat milk & cookies, and cover deliveries all over the Earth in one night.)

[@DesertsOfHighfleet]

just fast bro.. Orthodox way the best.. and pray, otherwise it's meaningless edit: since you asked for a Christmas diet, there's a long fast behind it

[@LordAaronjay]

Thank you long haired Asian man my beloved

[@jimjamjon2285]

Let's be honest. For some, it's all about clicks and money

How can I gain weight when I have a fast metabolism?

[@galaxy9689]

eat alot

[@madassathish3539]

Build muscle which makes you wanna eat more

[@Azrael-midnight]

@madassathish3539 so fitness and eat loads? Do you have any idea what to eat? I'm really skinny and it's hard to gain fat naturally

[@devaadityas79]

​@Azrael-midnight have a balanced diet but add extra healthy carbs like whole wheat and oats. You should maintain a calorie surplus in which you take in more calorie than you burn. If this doesn't work ask experts. Take it slowly for best results

[@madassathish3539]

@Azrael-midnight eat food that have good amount of healthy fats like peanut butter,nuts,eggs and if you struggle to eat,try to have a liquid calorie snack which have mixture of oats,milk,banana,peanut butter and drink it everyday

[@ashriya1294]

14 mins ago is coffee 😄😅

[@auricia201]

Hampton is tooo positive 😅 personally i hate the fact that everyone wants to share information, it just makes the internet full of articles and videos that say exactly the same thing and present it exactly the same way - lots of garbage to go through when mak8ng a search. People should start considering if what they want to post is actually necessary, instead of only thinking about the clicks they'll get

[@mAlice_88]

❤❤❤

[@naps3386]

i know a guy that got dementia in his 40’s when he did banana diet, took only a year.

Do you think the bananas caused his dementia, the dementia caused him to go on the banana diet, or that the two were unrelated?

Ofc calorie deficit works 😭

Worked on what? I see you survived, so it's effective at keeping you alive at least, but I can imagine there are many other diets that are able to do it

I don’t understand why there are subtitles throughout the entire video. They can be distracting and take away from the viewing experience. I think they make sense for shorts, but in a full-length video, they’re unnecessary. Just some feedback!

[@acidrender]

Banana? Minions are the ones to blame.

[@ooberallen]

its all just for clicks and views, it doesn't matter if what you are claiming is true or not.

[@Intentionally_Inflammatory]

[@ShinoSarna]

"What do you mean by "potassium toxicity" exactly?" - person who did this to their doctor, probably

[@trelligan42]

Hyperkalemia is a thing. I take potassium for cramps, and when I take too much (it's in a salt shaker) I start getting involuntary twitching in a few muscles, and if I flex too hard I can get a weird slow cramping. Solution: drink more water to run the excess out.

[@ShinoSarna]

@trelligan42 I know it because I'm trans, and MTF hormone therapy makes you retain potassium, which can cause this.

[@amalk9750]

I could never understand how some consider salad a meal. Just cuz it has chicken doesn’t make it a meal 👀🤦🏽‍♀️

[@thall3827]

Could you explain what you mean? I don't know why a bunch of veggies and a protein doesn't constitute a meal.

[@AbiSaysThings]

Probably shouldn't be your main fuel for the day but it really depends what your needs are, some salads can get pretty heavy

[@thall3827]

@@AbiSaysThings that's kinda of what I'm saying. I could have a piece of salmon with a side of sweet potatoes, zucchini, and asparagus. Or, I could have a salad consisting of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, carrot, sweet potato, and top with a piece of chicken or salmon, and it's the same to me.

[@amalk9750]

Im just saying that lettuce and a little quinoa with chicken doesn’t realistically fuel you. I see a real meal as a protein with a superfood grain like freekeh, bulgar or barley with veggies sweet potatoes and a mixed nutritious salad that has dark greens and parsley. That’s just my perspective.
