The Most Realistic Advice on How To Get Fit (No Bullsh*t)

- Body Transformation and Fitness Motivation videos…They are predictable. Skinny/Fat guy lifts weights in the gym and gets buff. They leave you on a high, motivated to change your own life for the better. But that motivation is short lived and a week later you’re back to trolling the internet and drowning yourself in whipped cream…
To summarise what I have learned over my entire body transformation, fitness journey it's this…
1: WHY: Why the f*ck do you want to get fit? Go deep and ask yourself
2: BELIEVE: Visualise your future self and question whether or not you truly believe you are capable of attaining it.
3: GOALS: Don’t try to perfect a habit you haven't even started
4: ACCOUNTABILITY - Write your goal down, tell your friends and create a vision board
5: MOMENTUM: Keep the momentum rolling and start writing down your goal along with 5 things you need to do in order to reach it.

I spent close to 50 hours creating this video in the hope to motivate people to chase their fitness goals. Hit LIKE if this helped you in any way ❤
In b4, 10 Million views. Also, every time you change your hair colour I think it's a whole new person.
awesome video
Thank you Ben
I hope the process of video creation and helping others helps you too! I really like the “WHY” and how it changes. I’m trying to be mindful of maintaining motivation, how to do something that one part of me wants to do and the other part doesn’t want to do because it’s painful. Constantly fighting my own cognitive dissonance.
Accountability and vision board!!
When he was hugging himself with the coat it actually got me I thought it was someone
Hahah that is probably my favourite part
@@BenEcho brilliant skit, and acted out very well too! great video too!
Me too lol
That was really well done
I actually thought it was spiderman for a sec...
as someone whos went from being overweight to fit, yes confidence counts a lot but there is a very REAL reality than both Men and Women will treat you differently even if its subconsciously when you are overweight/skinny compared to muscular and fit.
My guy friends wanted me around more (because I had an easier time meeting and talking to new girls)
and girls would start conversations with me vs how I ALWAYS had to start them before.
Neither of those things had to do with my confidence specially the second one, it was simply because I became physically attractive, so never down play how much that actually matters sadly..
I have a friend who is actually pretty good looking but he is pretty over weight, I wanna help him loose weight but I don’t want to be rude. I think he wants to loose weight, any advice on what I should do to help him?
@@RioRock7 Show him this video
@@RioRock7 Best you can do is express your concerns to him , what your worried about, and offer to help him do it. This goes for a lot of stuff, like convincing someone to go to the doctor, dropping a bad habit, doing something good for themselves. You have no control over what he wants to do with his life. If you wanted to help try talking to him about what happened in his life that made him gain weight.
@@RioRock7 get him to do something with you regularly. Some sport, like swimming, climbing, anything really. In my experience if you try to convince someone to do something or even force them to, they'll just block you off. People are much more likely to adopt such habits if you do it with them and they experience it with someone they're familiar with and thus feel more safe and relaxed instead of for example being in a gym by yourself feeling like everyone is watching you do your sets.
And as a bonus you'll become much closer friends 💪
@@RioRock7
He's already attractive. He should stay fat to give ugly people a chance.
"change from impressing other people to impressing myself" well said bro, well said. This is what all we shall do.
Just so you all know, this applies to everything, not just fitness. There needs to be a purpose, an underlying drive that gets you to push forward. Motivation doesn't just come from nowhere at random.
i disagree
Disagree.
HIGHLY disagree. But I don't feel like explaining why
It does but then it's usually short lived and goes away after 10 minutes. Find a solid reason to do something
I disagree. But your motivation should be "no pain no gain."
This was an amazing video 🔥
Yo browney i didnt expect to see you here
Hey thank you brother, nice to know all my hours of editing are appreciated.
Browney saw this omg 🥺🥺
Ben is an amazing man
cool to see you here
Legit just started watching your content 20minutes ago and this is actually very inspirational at the moment. Currently im at my heaviest at 124kg's (6ft1") compared to my 87.5kgs 5 years ago when i was still at school. My reason for wanting to loose weight is i want to feel better and not always disappointed when a shirt doesnt fit or the feeling if chaffing from weight reasons. I think this will help me get on track again and assist me in reaching my goal.
Intermittent fasting. It's dead simple, drops pounds, improves your health in multiple ways and feels amazing. I'm doing it right now. Let me know if you want me to point out some resources.
I'd be interested in some resources
@@jd4119 Here's a good, fairly detailed overview by Dr. Jason Fung: czcams.com/video/sSFinW4Fe4w/video.html Check out his other CZcams videos, as well as videos from 'Gravity Tansformations' and 'Thomas DeLauer'. Some people like 'Dr. Eric Berg' though I find his information to be less consistently science based.
Hey man, still on it?
im curious aswell ? how far did you get ?
Got this recommended now and tbh one of the greatest videos covering this issue, the online fitness community feeds off of short bursts of motivation and this ends up making a lot of people lift without knowing the "why", which doesn't add much to their lives as weightlifting should add itself. I myself started to get a better physique but now I feel stuck and thought a lot about trying new sports, and seeing your video gave me a great recap of a lot of sports I've always wanted to give a try but ended up forgetting along the way. Summing up, thanks for this video man, I hope this enlighten others just as it did for me (and your sense of humor really helps to grab our attention, great job)
Well done with this video, Ben - nobody talks about this stuff. The 'why' is so important.
Good to see a mature car man being inspired by younguns like Ben and Jordan Shanks. Have you been working out John? You're looking fitter in your videos these days.
@@RDDHopsing77 Yep - lots of pull-ups, push-ups, kettlebells, clubs and mace training. Everything designed to give you core strength while crushing your soul...
@@AutoExpertJC It's obviously working.
Enjoy your videos. Unlike much stuff on the internet they are well researched and bullshit intolerant. I also like the fact that after watching your videos I feel I've actually learnt something.
Totally agree
everybody talks about this stuff since 2017 but ok dude
Bro lifted weights for a month, and looks like a lot of people's goal physique, wow that's nuts
yeah. that's why his advices are kinda off - he has a good genetics and never really struggled. i mean, how many people did the same things but stopped 'cause of a injury? millions.
the fact he trained 6 days a week without overtraining says it all.
I assume that that bit of the video didn't go exactly with the narration at that point.
@doodo478 just so you know, being low body fat isn't always that good. I am sub 10 body fat and very skinny and it's very hard for me to gain muscle since for muscle mass you first need mass
@doodo478 I'm saying that his video doesn't really give a good perspective for the journey of an average skinny person without good genetics either
He has gyno in the picture on the right in the thumbnail. Take a wild guess why that is.
This makes me feel even better knowing Im starting at the age of 17. I really really wish there was a ninja warrior gym near me I would love it.
You are at the best age to start getting ripped. You have fast metabolism, high energy, maximum testosterone, cartilage, and no real responsibilities yet. Go for it, man!

No joke, I did not feel like working out today, I saw this vid and it got me back in the motivation, THANK YOU BEN
That is amazing! carry that momentum into the workout. Go crush it!
Are you still doing it?
Bruh
Do you?
@Carolina, I don't think you got the point of this video. This video is about encouraging us to find our "why." It's not to give you motivation to go to the gym. Teach someone how to fish and they'll never go hungry again.
Why do these videos have such low views? These are so inspirational, and just truly amazing. Im so proud of you! Take control of your life. The only person that is going to save you, is you.
Unfortunately, people prefer to watch semi-naked women "singing" about how she likes a guy to get her thing wet.😒
@@argentum3919 bring a bucket, and a mop
Because this video was not made for the views. It was made for you!
@@argentum3919
Nothing unfortunate about that at all.
I'm so glad I came across your channel on the 3rd week of attending my local gym. I got super sick (medication withdrawals) and felt super unmotivated to the point I just slept through my alarms. The mindset you have, the way you broke down your goals and achieved them is truly inspiring to me. Whenever I feel too lethargic and tired to hit the gym, I'm just gonna pull up your videos and remember that it's okay to have bad days, and that I'll feel even better once I get out there and exercise my ass off lmao
Lets go!! Yes i love to read comments like this. I wish you all the best. you got it!
Ben, this is absolutely amazing. You are the only transformation that ive ever watched where i felt like i could relate to you and how your perception has been through your journey. Ive currently been climbing out of a hole, trying to get back on my feet. I use to be fit 4 years ago, but now im ober weight and feel disappointed when i look in the mirror. Your motivation and outlook 9n your journey jas lifted my spirits
yes he's really honest to us!
Changing "get fit" to anything -- "get good at drawing", "coding", and everything said in here still works. Thanks for the great video!
"the increased confidence in myself is what made me brush off negativity much easier as well as attract good people into my life" Polson, Ben

That doesn't even mean anything. Confidence in what? Confidence without an object is just nonsense. You're confident in some situations and not in others.
This was actually super helpful and not demeaning or undermining like others can be. Thanks for sharing your honest truth
Amazing storytelling, Ben. You brought us through your highs and lows; sped up and slowed down; made us feel with you and anchored in the core points you want to make. You're upping my game!
For me it was getting rid of the excuses. I would tell myself things like "I will start when I finish the exams", "When I hand in this report", "When I move to a place with a gym close by". And when it came to food it would be the same things..."after my brother's wedding, coz im not passing over the cake!", "when I have a better salary to afford better food". etc. Also for me i learned love the pain, if that makes sense. The truth is our bodies were not created to want to spend it energy unnecessarily. Working out is an inconvenience but I still do it.

This comment is more inspirational than the video.
You people are all doing it wrong.
It's not about working through pain to get some result. It's about using the results as an excuse for your public self-harm.
So, how did you nailed "when I have a better salary to afford better food" ?
@@MrCmon113 I don't mind harming myself while looking good, though. Better than being fat and eating cakes claiming you doing it cause "people look at me wrong".
Like 30 min ago i was recommended "How I Learned The Full Splits In 30 Days" and although i have no intention of learning how to do the split i very much enjoyed it. Decided to search your channel and to my suprise a new video was just uploaded, and enjoyed it even more.
New fan! Gonna watch the ninja warrior now. Keep up the great content.
Thank you so much for taking the time Miguel!
Bro same here 😂
Literally same. This video is amazing. Just need to figure out my WHY now.
Exact Same happened with me. watching the ninja warrior video now
you should actually do that program. its like 8 minutes a day and it works.
I've never felt so inspired by a video. I really appreciated every minute of it, thanks
I started at the gym a few weeks ago after a life of wanting an awesome body but being too unmotivated and depressed to do anything. I was searching for advice and this video is fantastic, I really appreciate your honesty. This barrier I'm facing clearly isn't a physical limitation, it's a mental motivation I have to fix.
falling in love with the process of learning is one of the most important and coolest things ever
BROOO I watched you win the ninja warrior on tv. Then I stumbled onto your channel, not knowing who you were until you said you participated in the ninja warrior. THEN IT HIT ME LMAO. You've really proved yourself by achieving this at a tall height that makes body weight exercises much harder compared to shorter people. GOOD STUFF!
Hey thanks brother! I spend a lot of time trying to accomplish these things so its nice to know people notice.
I wish to thank you for helping me on my change journey. I have done many good things in life, many bad things. It is time to let the past rest, forgive, and get mentally and physically fit and maintain fitness.
I've just finished watching this video and i can truly say this is one of the best I've seen .it was a no nonsense straight from the heart and soul journey with a brilliant twist towards the end .i applaud and admire your determination to be the best you that you can.wonderful video.and congratulations for being the first Australian Ninja Warrior and the best of luck for your future! .
it really is one of the best!
This was really inspiring. I'm in my early 30's, and never been that athletic. My whole life I looked up to fit people, dancers, acrobats and gymnasts and just thought it wasn't for me. I'm miserable with my current body - I'm the heaviest I've ever been - and my luck with women has run out. I am totally ready to transform my body. I hope that I can achieve results!
keep us updated!
good luck!
Hit us up with updates man 💪
I am in the same boat. How you holding up dude?
Good luck
This is actually the most realistic fitness advice I've ever gotten. I just realized I only wanted buff because a friend of mine is and he used to smaller than me so I felt like I was slacking. I think I personally want to be fit just so I can be healthy especially as I get older. I'll work towards that instead.
Don,t Be Fit
That was awesome, what a legend this guy is. His sincerity and zero cockiness makes him so relatable.
this dude was already in perfect shape to begin with
You really got me with the video. I love how you show that just like everybody you were at a point with no motivation but hard work and the ability to embrace failiurs got yourself out and you achieved something great. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you Ben for putting this all together for us. Sadly, I had never heard of you before this, but after hearing your story laid out so matter of factly, I couldn’t help but subscribe and be motivated to find my why. Thank you for taking the time, energy, and effort to share your story and give us such great insight!
are you still watching his videos?
I was feeling burnt out and unmotivated, your video inspired me and the "why" question is really important, thank you so much!!
"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Faccccttsss. Awesome video bro! 😊
the story of "i see when i believe it" is true, this is the best motivation ever
3:39 This is so relatable.
I'm a 20 year old female uni student and I've been stucked in a thin physique for 2 years due to not consistently or perhaps effectively working out. (I'm fit in someone else's standard but my goal is to bulk up.)
This also somehow makes me doubt myself if there's something wrong with my genes or gender and I worry I'm never going to see actual growth when someone can see results in 3 to 6 months.
I was never confident about my physical ability and I always view myself as 'weak' despite a desire to be strong af... Being in a school parkour club I get so frustrated when others can do rolls or handstand or wall climbs or vaults without much effort.
This new semester I'm starting fitness journey all over. From scratch. again.
I REALLY have a hard time believing myself that I can acheive my goals someday. That someday, I may transform from disproportionate skinny-fat physique to bigger upper body as and leaner muscles and abs.
But I'm going to try believeing.
Anyways... due to my current condition be like
- Sucks at schoolwork
- Has problems taking action
- ...Which brings financial/career distress
- Has other important activities on hand
- Undiagnosed mental health condition
- Disorganized diet
- Family restrictions
I found myself couldn't take more than I used to.
So my plan is to
1. be seriously patient with myself.
2. just change 1% at a time.
Peace.
This is a good piece of advice not the bulsh*t you see often. I truly appreciate this video.
Its all about the mindset. When I trained martial arts I was still afraid of people and fighting, today I don't train much as I used to but have matured, gained confidence and more grounded. This made me 10x more confident and fearless.
Great video, and very entertaining. I'm 78 yrs old and for the last five years stopped doing anything active. I'm not fat but so inactive my body aches and I can actually feel it breaking down; doubt I'll live to 85 if I continue doing nothing. Been putting off getting into daily exercise for so long but today I begin. Thanks for inspiration. Hope I live fitfully to post an "after" comment. ciao.
How's it going?
Do things that are fun

Best Transformation Video I ever watched, right from the 'Whys' to the showcasing of different sports, techniques and tricks in the clip, absolutely loved it.
Thank you so much brother! It means a lot
One of the most meaningful, in-depth and smart videos about fitness online. Great job, mate!
Your "my unfit is someone else's goal" segment really hit home today.
Ben you absolutely need to start doing some tutorials regarding exercises such as the front lever or the muscle up. Btw great video, you inspired me a lot.
I watched you on Australian Ninja, and felt you really deserved it, and you really knew it in your heart. 😊
I could see your heart's desire, focus and motivation was coming from a purer place and full on training. Now that I saw that specialised gym you were at, it makes sense how it all came together.
I practised a lot of intensive Yoga, Bikram and Ashtanga, still do Bikram.
I agree, the Why, the intention of any consistent strong physical practise has to be clearly understood.
If the motivation is based on a more superficial reason, ie good abs, tighter thighs etc, the mind may lose drive, become dissatisfied, sooner or later.
For me, coming from a Buddhist background, my Bikram practise is about going much deeper within mentally now. I use it to go deeper into moment-to-moment mind awareness, breath and consistency internally as a foundation, which strengthens the mind for all parts of my life.
The physical fitness and body shape simply becomes a byproduct. 🌺
Amusing vid btw 😊.
I watch a lot of yt videos regarding self development and woring out but this one was the best. Good job bro, I bet this realy helps a lot of ppl!
I subbed, not because I need another fitness channel in my list, but because your humor is great. The tips about mindset are great too, very important especially for confidence which equals attractivness.
Backflips, dunking, mad pull ups, crazy upper body strength 😰 what a talented guy!
You can just see the dedication and hard work he puts into everything he does. So impressive 🙇♂️
i appreciate that!

This is the best fitness/motivational video I've seen. Way deeper than just a how to why to speech but it just looks at an athletic lifestyle realisticaly.
u have a cute boxer dog in your pfp, I had one but she is gone😥😥😪
100% realtalk. 0% Bullshit.
Wish you the best dude! Thanks for motivating♥
A cinematic masterpiece, well done Ben
The message delivered was deep and very motivational. Never came across something so accurate
I really want to get fit again.. but I developed arthritis at age of 24 (I was a MMA fighter with dream of joining UFC eventually).
Ever since, I've been riddled with depression, suicidal thoughts etc, until I started using drugs.. Im 32 now.. still on drugs.. but still with the wish of being able to train again.
My problem is when I exercise, the day after, my shoulders hurts alot because of the arthritis..
Dont know what to do really.. I dont want to live like this but the doctors refusing to give me a surgery because "you're to young" is all they say
So very inspirational. Thank you for taking the time to empower others to rise from the darkness to the light of life. Much love
Out of every motivational work out video I’ve ever seen, this ones gotta be the best by far
Probably one of the best motivational video out there. The WHY is extremely important because no matter how motivated you are at the beginning, to reach the 10.000 hours of practice you will think to quit more than once: in the darkest hour, looking at your star, will keep you on course and drag you out of the muck.
yes this is so true!!

"I was bullied all through high school for being skinny"
**Still looks fitter than my current self**
I have been watching fitness videos here for more than 10 years; and this is the the most realist video about fittness I have ever seen!
I got in shape after a motorcycle accident had me laid up for a few months. I was so tired of sitting around I was very motivated to get in shape. I kept that going for 12 years. Until I broke my knee. And then got out of shape again.
However now I married, comfortable, and I just don't have the motivation I used to.
This is straight up the best fitness video I've ever seen on CZcams. You gotta love what you do so you can be always doing what you love. Personally, I enjoy lifting weights for the challenge of it. Makes me feel good about myself and also feel like I'm evolving as a human being (in this subject ofc). But, 100% agreed on it only works consistently if you have a clear purpose. Amazing video.
You are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing this beautiful mindset with us! 💕💕
Right to the point!
The Why and then willfully seeing yourself there just automates all the Hows needed to get it done. This is the only way I was able to get anything serious done or win anything, and I would guess the same for many award recipients as well. Such a great video.
you are so talented. not only do you smash out of the park any goal you have but you also make awesome super interesting youtube videos. impressive!. I only had to watch one video to realise you were worth my time to watch the entire video.
Really inspirational - and I need it at the moment. I'm a month into a nine-month cycle to beat my best Marathon time of 3:45, but now thirty years later - just before I turn 60.
6 weeks ago I couldn't even do a half a pull-up. Today I can do two. It's taken a lot of time, but it's been fun progressing and getting better. My next goal is 20 in a row, then, a muscle up.
how many can you do now??
Now this is REAL talk. One of the best videos on this subject to date!
One the best no nonsense videos. Straight to the point. Thank you!!!!
This was very motivational to watch. Very well put together. My why was about 6 years ago when the prognosis from the doctor was very bad. Basically I'd let myself go so far that I was at risk of dying early. I've never looked back since then. I agree with the advice in this video for anyone watching. I'm now 20Kg lighter (I was not skinny, but suffering the opposite problem) and my physique is on track. Habits... they just take a while to build. Keep working at it. Keep building habits even if the amount you initially do per workout is smallish. Then, once you have the habit of working out and get used to it, then you can work on the habit of increasing volume / weight / intensity (your choice) gradually. Such a cool vid though. I can see that a lot of work went into the vid... and the body! ;)
LOVED this video, I'm so motivated after watching this! This video made so much sense & I can't wait to put things into practice... You're amazing Ben, a real inspiration 💛
You got this!
The best fitness concept video I ever saw in the last 15 years of my CZcams fitness search
Okay, this was surprising! Best video that I have seen since I train (and this is almost 20 years with ups and downs).
Kudos you Ninja! Very wise words
Came this channel to see without any purpose on doing splits and couldn't exit at all ( and started to do splits everyday ).
This was a great video! Congrats! My son too, was always athletic but slim so during lockdown he trained like crazy and started his own training facility. He’s made our entire family fit.
awesome to hear that! keep it up!!
I'm blown away, I don't know you and I'm so proud of you
Subscribed don't let people stop you from being a better person 🤘🏾
I love this because I feel like it could apply to a lot of things, not just exercise 👍
That was incredibly engaging and inspiring, thanks
This was a great video. That's exactly how I started working on myself in a healthy way. My goal was to lose weight but now it is to surprise myself with what my body can do and just have fun with it! I started boxing, hiking, and playing basketball and just challenging myself and pushing myself to exceed limitations. My physical appearance became a pleasant result rather than the actual goal itself.
I had bad health, about a year ago i did some pushup every day (with wrong form). And after i watched some proper guide on YT i started to do push up and pull up with better form. I did'nt have impressive result in 30 day like these video on YT but i feel better now and my body improved (a little), so keep up the good work everyone.
Amazing story thank you for sharing it. Truly inspirational!
This has been my favorite transformation video so far. I just got back into exercising because my friends were all doing it, and I was looking for more motivation through fitness transformation videos. I really went and forgot what made me stop in the first place. I need goals.
Very noice video ( u w u )💓
You got this!
Hands down this is the best video I’ve ever seen on any platform! 🙌🏻
thanks for the inspiration, going from a simple goal to a big achievement, and to fuel a positive habit, not simply "it must be done", but a deeper and more personal meaning, a purpose
I'll try it myself, doing fun sports, learn skills, may it be juggling, climbing, skate, martial art, parkour or whatever, is way more attractive than just "i have to do sports, eat less, lose weight, because... i have to"
Summary:
Just eat healthy, do sports and also: be happy with your life (which ofcourse is not always possible I know), because psychological health also plays a mayor role.
I don't feel like working out because my mind is in a bad state at least 5 days a week.
I still progress and stay in shape; "How?" You may ask.
It's really simple and this works for anyone. Do push-ups when you wake up. Do push-ups whenever you die in a video game. Do push-ups in shower or really anywhere when you got an extra minute (and squats and sit-ups ofc). The point is not doing much and sweating your arse off.
The point is doing. 0,01% progress is more than 0%. 0,01% is like 36,7% a year.
bruh where did he say sports.
@@srij0n316 jogging, lifting weight and others are sports without using the word sports too
I'm 44 with a bit of a belly and eat decently healthy. I started doing 25 pushups 30 situps 10 chin ups a day every day for about a year and nothing changed. I do like beer though.
That's my story lol.
Fantastic channel, I love your personality and you are incredibly inspirational! This is the 3rd video I see and subbed.
I really appreciate the message here and all of the hard work that obviously went into making this. You deserve a lot more subscribers
he really does!
well said, much respect to you and others with the same mindset, i believe in paying it forward. hopefully all who watches this video gains something from it, it did help me. much appreciated, ben echo. keep your momentum going, positive energy your way and to others that need/want
you got me at the "I had a chip on my shoulder" part
I love your sense of humor.
Just a simple thank you. Wise words, live long and prosper 🙏🏽
Ginger’s gotta learn to fight, be funny, or be friendly. Your attitude is everything. Red hair and freckles along with being scrawny is not a curse. It’s a test.
Now at 50 the red is gone and been replaced with grey. Still got the underdog mentality, but now I know how to use it.
Its funny how it is the exact opposite for women. Red headed women are the prize almost all men go for and so they grow up so full of themselves they dont learn to be funny, friendly, or anything useful besides a notch of a belt.
@@odin1185 since when are red headed women what "all men" go for.. it's the opposite. I know quite a lot of guys who say nasty things about red headed women
6:54 - "Holy what the fuck?!?"
That was my response to seeing someone doing a handstand on a bar someone else was using to do a bench press with.
Hm...Well, I want to get a little leaner, but I like the idea of functional muscle. Don't have any ninja gyms where I live...but I have been thinking of setting up some balance beams and bars outside to work out on. Granted, Texas summers are...Texas summers, but...I've been more and more motivated, doing more and more on working out and eating well, and this is just damn inspirational. Hm...
So...
1) Why do you want this? It can change with time as you grow and evolve and age yourself, as you may want different things in the future (e.g. if you do it to get girls, then get the girl, you might shift to wanting functional muscle and strengthh)
2) Believe you can do it. Not in vague terms of maybe it's possible, but know that it IS possible.
3) Pick some goals for yourself. They can be easy things, the point is to have something specific you can work towards, like being able to jog for half an hour straight or whatever. Something you can work for, work up to, and obtain; then...pick a new goal from there! Break it down into achievable mini-goals - like being able to walk for 5 minutes, then jog 5 minutes straight, then jog 10 minutes straight, and so on to work up to your true goal.
4) Accountability - it's always easier when you have a friend to do things with, but also just someone to help you along or ask you from time to time "Are you still doing...?"
5) Momentum - get up and get moving! No one else is going to make you healthy. Start now writing your goal(s) and the smaller steps to get there.

I already liked, guess I'll sub now. :) Thanks for the motivation, sir. Guess it's time to hit my next workout...
I know who would have thought 9min video would take that long to make but they just do. Its very humbling of you not to mention that amazing achievement first up. When you started your talk every aspect made sense but when mentioned N/W champion I thought I have to take note.
Thank you for sharing this! It's very encouraging as I go on my own fitness journey.
Your response to training after only one month was tremendous. Also, your pectoral muscles make up almost half of your torso. They are damn armour plates!
Great genes, but most importantly - great job!
well said my friend :)
Amazing video. When I hit 39 I went back to the gym. I started getting up at 2:30 am and going 6 days a week. People really started noticing my size change. I eventually hurt myself. Pulled something in my shoulder that still bothers me, I also started developing a strong joint pain like tennis elbow from doing the same exercises. I also got covid, and all of that caused me to take way too much time off, also I love ice cream. Now I have a Dad gut to go with my slightly reduced arm size due to me eating everything in sight when I was working out....and not changing the diet. So I am back at it. I always dreamed of doing the things you can do, I have literally had dreams of flying through the air from a back handspring. I am turning 41 this month and I don't know if it would be possible. I am going to switch my focus to callisthenics to try and gain more body strength and control. Thank you for your video, it really encouraged me.
2 am in the morning? Lol

mate I rarely ever press the like button but you forced my hand with this content. Honestly should be payed
This video is a great motivator for so many things in life. Not just muscles.
Exercising is like RuneScape.
At first it's boring and exhausting, but it gets addicting over time, and there's times you can't survive without it.
Looking back... how many hours did I waste chopping trees and lighting them...?
