[@Aninram1985]

This is so true, as I discovered by accident. I used to only hit the gym at night. About a year ago, I got a new job with later hours and was way to tired to work out afterwards. I took a week to gradually began waking up 2 hours earlier, to train in the morning. I wasn't expecting the amazing ways this totally changed my life. Not only did I gain strength and endurance, psychologically the anxiety I suffered from completely vanished, I now head into the workday with a great sense of accomplishment and feeling great in my body, and my ability to stay focused and productivity skyrocketed. I'm literally in a calm, focused mood all day. Also, the amount of sleep I need to feel fully rested decreased from 9 hours to 7.5, and the quality of it improved. I love waking up, look forward to my AM workout, and have never felt better, stronger or more serene before in my life. I've recommended the change to friends and colleagues, and have seen others thrive too. Try it!

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

[@ktothebeesknees]

Mitochondria are responsible for ATP production. ATP is what is needed for energy. Not really sure it directly 'burns fat' as such. Like.. ATP is needed for that but it's a lot more involved.

[@ktothebeesknees]

@Marianne mitochondria use a whole bunch of nutrients like coenzyme CoQ10, absorbic acid, B vitamins and more. If you were interested specifically in burning fat- i would think you need to look elsewhere biologically. Focus on diet and lifestyle- perhaps something low carb. Ive been following keto for fat burning- as it changes energy metabolism from carb and sugar to using as fat as energy. Intermittent fasting could help. Exercise before breakfast. These are some areas you could look into. But obv check with your GP first as keto can be detrimental if not done right. Basically, making your mitochondria work "better" wont really help with fat loss.

[@ktothebeesknees]

@Marianne yes technically energy goes in and out of the mitochondria. Nutrients go in and energy comes out in the form of ATP. ATP would be necessary for fat loss.. in an extremely broad overview i guess

This former retired fitness trainer who ended up with a mild form of MS found this fascinating! I started working out in my 30s in the 1980s with weights and continued through my 40s along with some aerobics. My MS which was very hard to diagnose went into remission for around 20 years during which time I became a fitness trainer! Unfortunately, it got a bit worst by my 60s despite trying to keep the exercise up which is very hard to do when one has MS. Now at 71 I'm back to working out again and hoping a combination of yoga which I've also done off and on since the 1970s and working out with my weights will cause my MS to go back into remission again along with my very healthy clean eating plan. "A barbell is a girls' best friend", not necessarily diamonds! Thanks for the much needed info! " knowledge is power" as well as exercise!

Just curious when did you have your first noticable MS flare? What is your genetic background? Did you take any vaccine within 3 years of onset of MS nerve damage or neurological problems (numbness, tingling, loss of sensation)? As you may already know, some medical researchers believe there's a correlation with vaccines and your immune system. Some vaccines cause inflammation or myelin sheath attack from immune cells.

I just wanted to reply here and say that my dad died of complications partly due to his MS very recently.

I love training, I love the rush, the high, it’s extremely addictive and I feel the urge to push myself even harden so I can feel even more of that rush. My keys are listening to epic music, finding the focus to push myself close to true muscular failure, and using movements that I like. Do you hate lifting and want to run? Well focus on running. Find the joy in expressing your physicality and you will find yourself going out of your way to train consistently. It will become your happy place instead of being a chore

[@slobodanpavlovic3184]

Tnx for this.

[@NNKRRbeats]

After years of if drug addicction i can attest, that the effevt of exercising is better than some drugs. It also helps with social anxiety, depression and lack of motivation.

[@ogungou9]

What I've Learned: Combine exercise (aerobic and anaerobic[and explosive ]) with goals(1) and natural nootropics (cocoa, cinnamon from Ceylon, rosemary, sage and/or lavandula powders) in smoothies everyday. This will be more powerfull than modvigil or modafinil ("talking" from experience here). Exemple: From 20 push ups in one shot to be able to do 100 push ups or more in one shot two moths later for exemple. From 7 miles in one hour and 10 minutes to 7 miles in 40 minutes, 6 months or one year later. Squats and sprints ... Learn to juggle ... Have mental imageries and emotions of power while training (use your imagination). Do not passively endure "suffering" with only willpower this is significantly less efficient and that could suck you mind dry. It's crucial. That way you will reach a threshold where even when you don't exercise, your dopamine and stuff will stay on top for months.

[@WokOverEasy]

Thank you for this!!!!!!

[@seun_cali6660]

The only thing that I have found so far to improve my anxiety is exercise only. Only when i exercise i feel calm and awake, i lose the feeling of nausea and dizziness, my mind feels fresh and awake. I feel more positive about things. It is strange, that a lot of times when I do feel physical unwell due to anxiety, I push myself to train and suddenly the feeling goes away. It's like a free medication. I highly encourage anyone of any age to exercise

[@Thr3-Words]

Awesome video. 5:21 is the moment that made me jump up and haul my kettle bell into my office so I could work out while watching the rest. I knew that exercise is important, but I didn't know just how much and why

[@gminoza]

Dude you are AWESOME! I've learned so much from you. In the past 6 months I've lost 30% lbs of fat & reclaimed my health. I'm almost 50 and my energy level is better than when I was in my 20s. I'm no longer depressed and feel hopeless. My mind is clear and spirit is high. Ready to pay it forward and share my journey with family and friends also ready for a positive change in their life. You're a gift. Thank you very much!

[@obigrumpywankenobi3204]

when you work out you will become more focused with every thing you do.

And more motivated. Maybe it has to do with the feelings survival and ambition getting tied together.

Exercising has literally made me a better person. When I started I immediately noticed that I was less moody and grumpy and this really improved my relations with family, little things that would make me angry or annoyed just didn’t anymore! Even after a day or two without exercising I noticed a huge difference.

I feel similarly, and am commenting even though I saw this video long ago the first time! It's encouraging to me.

[@Dabby724]

I've watched this video countless times especially on days when I don't want to or feel like exercising, it's a great reminder of how beneficial exercise really is. After every work out I'm glad I powered through.

[@BangMaster96]

Well, i am a Software Engineer, and my most of my time has to be spent sitting in front of a Computer, i've gained about 25lbs over the last 3 years, and i am now coming to realize the dangerous effects of not exercising. I just recently joined a gym, and plan on going there in the morning, instead of nights, like i used to when i was young. For those of use with work that requires sitting in front of a computer all day, don't neglect to get exercise in your daily routine, or even exercise 3 to 4 times a week, if not daily, it'll benefit you in the long run, and you won't have weak bones, and muscles in your old age. Keep your body moving, we Humans aren't designed to be sitting on our asses all day.

[@lindavel43]

Try asking your company they can get you a standing desk. I'm a full-time student and work part-time as a designer for my school. So, I sit all day too. I don't have a standing desk, but I use a booth to do my work at time.

[@BangMaster96]

@@lindavel43 That likely won't happen, as the company cares more about product and services, than sitting or standing desks. Plus, i walk around in the office space every 30 to 40 minutes, it's not that i have to sit constantly for 8 hours, i can get up, take a break, and come back. That's the upside of working in software industry, downside is the horrible hours sometimes.

[@NihongaDaisuki7]

"that's absolutely right" I think as I like this comment, sitting down. *further proceeds to watch youtube sitting*

[@manictiger]

I'm an equities trader (essentially, also a desk jockey) and here's what I do to stay fit: 1. Standing desk 2. Calisthenics (I retain a decent amount of muscle, despite not working out that much) 3. Fast the ENTIRE workday. (Improves brain function and helps lose weight) 4. Higher fat and protein, lower carbs and NO deserts! NO! Put the icecream DOWN!!!

Huh? Why did you abruptly stop the video there? It was so relatable to me. I feel shittier and shittier the more time I spend without exercising. Once you've felt it, you can never forget it. It feels like you're missing out on life if you don't get there again.

[@claudiacorr9306]

I hope you’re doing okay, I struggle badly with mental health and exercise helps so much that I don’t need therapy anymore. I really hope that you can find the motivation and that it gives you what you need 💕 a tip is to start a sport or something you love, I started boxing and it made me fall in love with working out. My mom loves rip 60 classes. My girlfriend plays volleyball. My aunt does HIIT cardio. You could try some classes? The community aspect helps with mental health too, you feel less lonely and it lifts your mood

I was always sport guy but implementing this schedule gave all this you mentioned in vid.
