Have you ever tried a minimalist approach to your strength training? What long-term goals do you have in your strength training? Let us know in the comments ⬇ As Always 🤙
Thank you for sharing this. I'm 25, in grad school, newly married, and starting my career. I think this video came at the right time to remind me of the reality about my priorities in life. Keeping these basics in mind is the clarity I need to stay consistent and manage my time more efficiently. I really like your videos about crawling, hanging, and jumping and I wonder how to design a minimalist routine for those movements. Thank you!
Congrats on all the progress in life! 2x per week doing more traditional strength training like in this video. 2x per week doing "movement sessions" combining crawling, hanging, some jumps, maybe even adding in some flexibility work. You'll be golden :) @@anthonyucella4243
Great video as always, and congrats to your family! Here's my minimalist approach: MON-FRI, 5 rounds of 6 exercises with 30-sec rest between exercises, 2-min rest (with arm/hand/neck stretching) between rounds. * Pull ups, full range and slow (8-12) * Side hop squats (30) * Push ups (30) * Hanging leg raises (15) * One legged calf raises (15) * Pike pushups (20) Should also mention the full body yoga routine (morning, afternoon, before bed) which include the pigeon and exterior/interior hip stretches that you shared with us. I've seen incredible results. I feel loosey goosey all day. My tennis elbow is gone. My ring and pinky fingers were starting to numb out on me, but they have healed and playing guitar is no longer a struggle. I also had a massive ganglion cyst on my wrist for over 15 years, it popped 8 months ago and has not returned. I feel so strong and my 6-yr old has been inspired and I sometimes find him on the floor doing push ups and pikes as well. Question, do you have any videos that discuss chronic Achilles tendinitis and/or plantar fasciitis? Would love to hear your view on any exercises that deal with that. I injured myself 3 years ago due to doing too much too quickly, after a long period of inactivity (got lazy due to our newborn at the time, was busy being a stay-at-home-dad and slacked off on my work outs.) Thanks for everything. Kudos!
Bruh. I'm in my mid 30s feel like it's over. I'm 300 lbs and used to have a 8 pack. I can't lose weight and working out stresses me out so much I get sick and lose hair
Spot on, 31 yo right now and playing squash but body started to fail no me. I do this exact approach in my basement gym and add in exercises that strengthen my weak points, for example knees and hips. 1 year after my PFPS diagnosis i can now play pain free and getting even better. My 30-40 yo period is gonna be my physical peak for longevity.
How many days per week do you do this? Do you do the same thing every training session or switch it up? I'm looking to simplify my routine too and I'm trying to break the mindset that simple hinders gains.
Pls do more content for parents!!! Got a beautiful 2 and 4.5 yr old! The lack of sleep, routine = bad cravings = low motivation to workout. Pls help!! Great tips so far. Congrats on your twins - double the blessings!
I think the problem that many people fall into is focusing on the destination and not the journey itself...the process is never going to be instant, normally its slow, buuuuut really worth the wait !! Oh, BTW, CONGRATULATIONS on your 2 bundles of joy 🎉🎉🎉❤
Welcome to fatherhood! One of the most beneficial things I've done is switch to a hybrid type of workout between calisthenics and kettle bells. After injuries through work and weight training, this was the best option to gain strength and mobility. Best choice ever. I picked up a few workouts from this video, thank you for putting great info out, brother. God bless!
51 and father of an 11 year old daughter. I’ve been rock climbing for 20+ years and my daughter joined my gym’s climbing team last year. Love the sport and what it’s taught me about my body over the years and love the time I get to spend with her! I’ve always supplemented with weights and really like a ‘landmine’ setup. Super versatile and pretty minimal for when I can’t get to the gym.
Congrats on the twins. Been watching a while and can tell that you’ll be a great dad. Thank you for everything you do and thanks for motivating my 33 year old self. Skateboarding has beaten me bad over the years, yet you’ve given me so much hope! All the best to your family!
Man he nailed it when he spoke about being in your 30s/40s and that you arent in the mindset of trying to be an elite athlete anymore. That is so so true. I just turned 40 and i used to workout in college and shortly after graduation about 6 times a week. Then i got busy with work, life, all of the stuff that comes with getting older and now I just want to maximize my time i have for workouts and whatever my body transforms to, im fine with. I just want to move each day, improve my mindset and live with the results. This channel has really sparked my motivation once again!
Great content. I really like how you always show the multitude of opportunities one has with little to no equipment. That really makes it real life applicable for most people. 💯
In my 50's and still trying to stay fit. I love getting some of my workouts in doing work around the property. Dragging Logs our of the forest, splitting firewood, clearing brush. Round it out with some gym work, and it keeps me in pretty good shape.
Congrats on twins! Children are life changers, looking forward to following your journey. I have 3 girls, oldest is 8. At 39, I'm still discovering my peak physically but recovery is challenging, so it's a fine balance of stimulation vs overtraining. We're fortuate to have a variety of training methods and influences, it's then a case of finding what works, what's fun, and what's sustainable. Ideally move more than you sit... that's not always so easy for me in my profession.
Such a great point right there. It's been similar for me. managing recovery, active rest days, a bit of cross training, but mostly just trying ti get quality rest when I can :)
This has been super helpful i became a father at 35 less than 2 years ago, and i've been feeling myself get weaker. As s result i've been getting injured over basic stuff. I'd become pretty depressed, and realized something has to change. Gonna try to put this all into practice, its good to know its never too late
Congratulations on becoming a father! I have twins as well, they're 4 now and the first few years were definitely a struggle and like most people I ended up neglecting my training/nutrition while simply trying to keep my head above water. A year later I had gained about 15lbs and realized that if I wanted to be able to keep up with them as they grow and run around than I better get into shape. Your channel definitely helped out since we were in and out of lockdowns back then
This is great. I’m 43 and have been extremely lazy for a while. I just started a PPL program with some cardio a few days ago and this video is very helpful. Congratulations to you and the family.
What's ppl? I'm mid thirties and I have been stagnant for like ten years and it has truly taken it's toll... I need to make a change but I don't know where to start, it's overwhelming and honestly.. I hate working out ... I desire movement and freedom but I just can't bring myself to start. I think I have fear too because I prefer immediate results lola
@@ChantelStays PPL: push pull legs. Routine you can do. I understand what you are saying. It’s tuff to start and can you can become discouraged if you aren’t seeing any progress. I can get the same way but I just tell myself “you got this and will be ok” keep up the hard work and you got this.
My first kids were twin boys too. Almost 14 years ago. They are the reason I started a home gym. It's really fun when they start working out in the garage with me. Keep up the great work.
Congrats Josh! 40yo father of two here. Your work was so important when they were tiny in focusing on enjoying movement, process over outcome, and building up momentum. Now enjoying home gym barbell strength training for first time in my life. Respect to you and all the parents out there.
@@Strengthside congrats to you as well! And by the way thanks for all the great free content you share on social, always very interesting and inspiring
Congrats on the twins!!!! My oldest is 2.5 and it just gets more and more fun every week. You look like the kind of dude that will feel the same way. Good things are coming man!
So excited for your beautiful family. Children are definitely the greatest blessing. Enjoy them every single second, especially when they are little, because it truly does fly by. Congratulations! And as always, thank you for the excellent content. Always so informative and helpful.
I actually started off my fitness journey at 31 (I am going on 33 this year) where i started with a bit of running (and obviously healthier eating closer to a semi strict LCHF with aded 8-16 fasting), added stretching after a while followed by bodyweight exercises i could do in my kitchen combined with a short routine of core mobility in the morning and before bed. I kept doin HIIT running of mostly 3Km runs 2-4 times/w. last year i got a gym membership after regularly using an outdoors gym a few times/w. I have now dropped from 120kg to 85kg and built myself up to the 97kg i am today. The real gains started when i combined an indoor gym with the goal of doing an actual pullup (i were mostly seated by the computer and sofa for almost 10 years due to untreated depression and NPF diagnoses). Started off with hanging in bars for 20s, i have progressed to 1m 10s over a year and are able to do assisted pullups with no weight assist. I only do bodyweight exercises combined with callisthenics and running, this equals out to about 1-2hrs of actual dedicated exercise/week, 1-3 15min runs at 3km HIIT. 1-3 40min gym sessions. This in combination with 2-5min mobility routines in the mornings and before bed got me healthier and much stronger than i ever were in my youth. This channel have given me lots of inspiration and added many exercises to my rotation. Thanks guys! My advice is WALK A LOT and move with purpose, really think about how you move, it will help you live better, longer, stronger.
Great video guys! I became a dad for the first time two years ago now so can definitely relate to a lot of the ideas here. My training has changed a lot since becoming a dad and they can be more challenging at times. Its such a cool feeling though getting into a handstand and your kiddo comes alongside you to try and get into a handstand too.
Congrats on the kiddos! It's been 40 years since mine were little, but what a joy! I've just recently started finally getting more regular on workouts after a few decades of "Someday..." I want to be around to be able to keep pestering my wife and enjoying my great-grandchilden growing up (when I have some, that is). Your videos are very motivating.
I'm 29 and only planning to have a kid (we're trying) and I'm working on myself also. My goal is to do a handstand, planche and a human flag😅 I'm trying to train throughout the day since I work from home (even just going to the toilet with some animal movement). You've also inspired me on creating my CZcams channel that would focus on animal movement, calisthenics and yoga. 420, much love from Russia, brother
I would love to see future content about staying fit as a parent. Being a parent really is a crazy job and getting everything under the hood can be quite a challenge. Love to everyone who is sharing this ride.❤🙏
yup. I never had any issues with weight until I got pregnant the first time and hit the second trimester. haven't been able to lose enough weight to get back to my normal weight in 4 years
Just turned 31 and had my first kid last year back in August. During the pregnancy I had slowly stopped working out as we had to get life together for the baby to be. Then getting a new job and etc to when the baby was born my focus just wasn’t on working out especially with the little sleep I was getting. Now that she’s a few months older sleep has been getting better and now to start the year I’m back to working out and my GF has joined me in the mix. Luckily grandma is obsessed with the baby so the days we want to workout for a good hour or so she has no problem coming over and now in my 30s this vid popping up was perfect timing
I just turned 40 and have been working out for 25 years. The notion that once you get to this age, your body will inevitably weaken is outdated BS. As long as you adjust how you are training, emphasize things like mobility, form, and recovery, eat very well and lead a very healthful lifestyle, you can continue to improve for many more years to come. I'm in the best shape of my life now, not just aesthetically but also functionally. In my opinion, 40 is the perfect junction of having peak physical capability combined with years of accumulated wisdom.
Hey, I just wanted to say that this video resonated with me that much that I just decided to change my routine as follows, and I'm starting it next week. I have added an extra day, so I guess that i will be doing week one: day 1 & 2, week two: day 3 & 1 and so on. Again, thank you so much for the great content, advices and inspiration! Here's what I came up with: Day 1 - strength SuperSet: Pullups - 5 rep / Hack squat - 5 rep (4 ROUNDS) SuperSet: Shoulder press - 5 rep / Leg curl - 8 rep (4 ROUNDS) SuperSet: Side kick Plank - 10 rep / Sit ups - 20 rep (4 ROUNDS) Day 2 - hypertrophy SuperSet: Australian pullup - 10 rep / Squat jump - 10 rep (4 ROUNDS) SuperSet: Pushups - 10 rep / weighted hyper extension - 20 rep (4 ROUNDS) SuperSet: Hanging knee raises - 10 rep / Mountain climber - 30 rep (4 ROUNDS) Day 3 - volume Chinups - 3 rep (10 ROUNDS) Dips - 5 rep (10 ROUNDS) Walking lunges with overhead dumbells - 20 rep (4 ROUNDS) Isometric hollow position - 40'' (4 ROUNDS) Feel free to suggest improvements if you feel like!
Love your videos because of you guys I got my pull up game back at 55 and more importantly, just work on flexibility, squatting and daily dead hangs just feeling good is what it’s all about. appreciate you!
It’s so funny , I been training for twelve years, im 29 with 2 kids and this is how I train intuitively now. Calisthenics mixed with weights and HITT are my go to now. Saves me time. And it’s ways better for my body and joints !
I’m 52, been working out since high school, have three kids, including one, just out of university, one in second year, and an eight-year-old. How do you stay fit through your 30s 40s and into your 50s is by making yourself the priority. 45 minutes of any kind of exercise four days a week is all it takes whether you’re pushing pulling squatting, running biking, walking callisthenics yoga just do it! If you have to wake up at six in the morning or work out at seven or eight in the evening, just do it . Be the priority, and everything else in life will be easier as you’ll be fit and young.
I am 34 with a family and the time you have available to train is no longer the same, then without a wive and kid. So i can only train 3 times a week. I do two full body workouts. Workout A: weighted push ups, barbell row, military press, barbell back squat and some exercises for biceps, triceps and abs. Workout B: dumbell chest press, latt puldown/ pull ups, deathlift and rear delts and of course some exercises for arms and abs. And the third day i do a hiit training for 30 min. Just to keep my stamina on point. This workout works for me. It will never make me myster olympia, but i keeps me strong and fitt while being a dad and a husband.
Love this! Just found your channel and the content is great. I'm a life-long athlete of 57 and I've been fortunate enough to build a solid home gym. I'm going to start implementing some of your ideas. Thank you... and cheers!
There is a great research paper called "No time to lift" that basically tells the same story. Push Pull Squat with at least four sets per muscle per week. The gains will be slower, but not everybody has the time/money/whatever to go 3-5 times to the gym for 90 minutes. I have been doing it with the sole purpose of "sticking to it". Forcing myself not to add any sets or exercises but stick to this short training routine for at least 6 weeks before changing a thing. I only add 60 mins zone 2 training and 1 day of 100 heavy-ish kettlebellswings to get the pump pumping. Keep going, your stuff is great guys!
Congrats on the twins! New twin dad here myself, at 43 it's a challenge to keep up with a steady workout routine. Would love to see more content geared towards new parents. Thanks and peace! 🙏✌️
became a father 9 months ago, fully understand the challenges and yes its easy to slide. Just stay at it every day a bit. I feel that from a desk job and stress my focus is more and more on yoga, breathing and functional rehab but I love mixing it with old school strength workouts. The mental aspect is also super important. Thanks for the cool video!
I have been a subscriber probably the last year to two years now. I’ve done everything from sports to martial arts for bout 20+ years with strength training being a high focus for 10+ of those years. Definitely wrote some complicated crap for myself too lol 😅 Now I’m bout to be 32, have a few injuries from all the high impact and stress (nothing too bad), and a demanding job (and life) which has caused me to fall off the last several years. Even in this last year trying to get back in shape has been hard cause I kept making it complicated. Love your content cause it makes sense and provided much needed perspective! Congrats on the kiddos! Well wishes to you and yours! Keep up the great content.
My approach was: after 8h of sitting at a desk, 15-30 minutes of immediate full force self resistance dynamic strength training; seemed like a holly grail(no equipment or conditions mandatory) that lead to noticeable gains in 3 months (mass and strength) ... and sent me to physical therapy in 6 months :D Lesson learned: After 30's, warmup and stretching = mandatory and unless we know the mechanics of all the muscles in the body, compound movements are the way
My rings are hanging in my garage, thanks to my you. LOVE IT! I’m a certified personal trainer. Im 59, my clients are older. I teach a more minimalist approach to empower them. We hang so much!
Really love your stuff guys keep it up!! Dad to a 2 year old and all my training went out the window when he was born, however 8 months ago I got really consistent with little daily activities. The best way I find to stay consistent was to do little bits all throughout the day! I work from a desk so I set a 25 minute timer every time I sit down, when the timer goes off I complete a set of reps on a given exercise, push ups pull ups squats dips leg raises ect, this consistence every day along with eating well has helped me get down to 17% body fat for the first time in my life, my plan is to continue this while upping the difficulty by going through the progressions and adding weight!! Anybody else do anything like this?
Appreciate this so much, congrats on the kids too, the biggest blessing. Echo what he said about a home gym. I have a pull up bar, some kettlebells and a weighted vest, about 20 square feet of garage space, and have never felt too limited. I also have 4 kids, but it’s easy to get something quick and effective done a few times a week. Sided note, as your kids get older, they actually appreciate seeing their dad have a workout routine… more is caught than is taught, as they say!
Congrats on the boys my man, the video on using your time well as a parent would be awesome for me. It's definitely the one thing I really struggle with as I don't have a lot of equipment at home
amin brother! my daughter is 3 months old and unfortunatelly i did not manage to train recently. my body aches! good news is that we found a nany so yeeeees! going back at it!
Congrats on the twins!! This video hit home for me, and was incredibly reassuring I am on the right track. Through covid (and wfh), becoming a father, and entering my 30’s, what you describe is exactly what I do…calisthenics, the super sets, push/pull/squats…the only difference is my mentality is all around “maintenance” as opposed to actively seeking/planning progressive overload..
When the kids came, and they are now 2 and 4, everything changed. So did my training. I reduced it to the minimum, doing at least 10 push-ups every single day was my staring point. Now I'm doing 25 pushups + 20 in variation, 15 Burpees and 50 bodyweight squats. I love it and has become a part of me. Shout out to you guys and @kboges!
Since COVID I've been training the minimalist way-pull ups,ring dips and single squats variations, recently i put a doorframe pull up bar at home with rings and now i have no excuses, thanks for all the great content keep it up... cheers from Israel
Amazing, brother. I just turned 40 & u just summed up my approach to fitness in one video. Longevity is something I strive for & probably the only reason why I still strength-train lol. Need it to keep skating/bouldering till I'm grey😂
I love this minimalist approach. We see some people in their 60d and 70s who are such monster strength and health machines. Looking to build that safely and gradually, with focus on functionality, strength, energy, flexibility, agility. Love to the whole family! Keep the great trainings coming, many thanks!
Still healthy and strong at 43! As a busy wife and mom to three, I understand the importance of longevity and “aging” slowly. Most people mistake me for being around 30 and I attribute that to strength training with weights (since age 16), ballet, Pilates, yoga, Budokon, Capoeira. I’ve tried it all, but moving well and often is what has created a youthful body and mind for me, personally.
Much love to you Strength side . Appreciate the passion and love y’all share in this CZcams community for living a healthy lifestyle for your mind, body and soul…and friends and family. Looking forward to more. Yall are a blessing friends
can totally identify witih this. I am 37 with 5 kids and the home gym has been the biggest help simply because of the time constraints, as you mention. Thank you!
I’ve transitioned to staying fit with fun things. Like climbing, skiing, mountain biking, etc. you can take the kids with and they benefit too. It’s a lot easier to stay in shape when it involves something that you find fun.
I love minimalism!! I'm 51, and my goal is to get back to where I was just a year ago. It seems whenever I start making good progress an injury or life gets in the way. My goal is to get back to where I was and heal my most recent injury. A groin injury...
Just want to say thanks so much for your content and positive attitude! I started my journey back into health 2 years ago. I consistently followed your stretch/mobility videos which motivated back into progressive overload strength training. I’m now 36 and in tremendous health as a direct result 🙏
You guys are the best. I've been wanting a video like this for a while. As a 37 year old dad, time is not in abundance, but I want to be a superman for my kid. Your workouts are always helpful, and really motivating. Congrats on the kids!
For years since I've gotten out of the military, I've gotten onto and fallen off the fitness wagon. I'm a parent now, though, and this video rang so true. I very much appreciate you guys and your content and the time you take to provide said content. Also, huge congrats on the twin boys dude, that's amazing!
Im obsessed with yoga but this all started with following you two through covid. Im 50ish and my body feels wrecked after Covid (working remotely was great but a real detriment)...Im working to maintain mobility while building strength. I like these suggestions.
Bro. Hit the nail on this one. I’ve got twin girls and this video just affirmed all the training I’ve been doing. Bang for buck. Thanks legend! And all the best with your family
I have twins, it's insane how much harder they are than just one baby. It's not twice as hard, it's exponentially harder! Congratulations man, it's an amazing experience. The first year is the hardest, after that it becomes much, much easier and fun :) Just gotta survive and sleep whenever the opportunity presents itself.
haha It's been a wild ride already. I keep thinking if we have another baby in the future it's going to be really easy. Nice to hear from another twin parent!
God video and recommendations. Im 33 and recently became a father so had to implement new training routines. 2 days a week, one upper and one lower body. 4 simple exercises per session focusing om movement quality, progressive overload and god warmup and stretching session and of course getting mostly quality nutrition. Strength is going up on key movements. If interested my movements on lower Day ars: front squat, stiff leg deadlift, Bulgarien split squat, Calf raise variation. Upper: military Press, chinup, dips and seated row
being a parent is what forced me to be more minimalist in every aspect of my life: I had to be more intentional because my of my limited time and resources. sometimes limitations on our time and space can make us more creative. it is also so easy to put them first and yourself last. that said, my kids are older now and since I workout at home, they see me working to my goals everyday and I hope that will help them be motivated to stay fit their whole lives.
I agree. I'm 40, have been training for over 25 yrs, and have also switched to goblet squats. I also moved from 5 days a week to 4 and my workouts are ~45 minutes vs 1 to 1.5 hrs like they used to be. I have short rest periods and get 5-6 exercises in that time, in addition to my warmup sets.
Wasted my 20s, then got married at 29 and built a career and a family with 4 kids, now at 39 I’m getting divorced and looking to join special forces. Been working on getting fit and prepped for selection; just found this channel and appreciate the pro tips!
Hi @claytonthomas8806 I am a father of 2, 30yrs old, and I am curious about you joining the special forces. If you don't mind me asking, with all your kids under 10 and special forces likely being long periods of time away from family, what is your motivation behind that decision? I couldn't imagine living far away from my kids for any period of time. Maybe that's not how special forces work?
I’m turning 31 in a few months and for me what’s stood out is the importance of proper rest and recovery. When I was in my early twenties I could eat poorly and not worry about sleep that much, and still get fitter. Nowadays, simple things like getting enough protein and stretching well after lifting is paying dividends.
31 y/o father of 1 with 1 on the way here. Currently have several full body free weight/pull-up/push-up circuits I circulate through. I like combining movements and do 4 different movements per superset to both build tone and get solid Z2 cardio all in 45min-1hr. Minimalist fitness is where it’s at for full time working parents! All you need is a living room and maybe a kettlebell.
32, Dad of 3 kids 5 and under. Movement, posture and functional strength are the goal. The big limitation right now is that I have maxed out my existing equipment and need additional, but those purchases are quite expensive and need to be timed well.
This helped me greatly. I have a 4 year old and just had a new born. I do recreational sports. I only care to train so that I don’t injure myself during sports, and I like to fit a T shirt without a bulge. That’s about it. Thanks for this.
Im 39 father of a 3 year old. Staying healthy is my top priority for 2024. Its hard to find the time, strength and motivation to stay healthy. So keep up
Just turned 60 and as a female strength training is even more important now…been training since I was 17 as a fitness leader and my own personal programs. I have recently dropped the gym sessions and now have a gym at home with dumbbells, kettlebells and a pull up bar. Absolutely loving my minimalist set up and I’m getting some better gains with this rather than using machines at the gym. Love Watching your vids and am always inspired by you boys. Ps congrats on the twins…they are adorable 🙏🥰
Congrats on the twins! I have a 2 year old and I was having a hard time staying consistent at all with weights, and then a year ago I learned about HIT (not HIIT), and started doing a slow set to failure on each machine at the gym (4 to 6 machines, leg press, pull down, chest press, row, and maybe leg curl and extension, and then some core) and have made super good consistent progress! I do weights once or twice a week for about 20 minutes a session which is super manageable! The strength translates to pull ups and push ups too! When I can't do my little machine circuit I do push ups and pull ups, but it's amazing! My workouts pre kid would easily take 70 minutes, but I think I feel stronger now than when I was doing that!
Have you ever tried a minimalist approach to your strength training? What long-term goals do you have in your strength training? Let us know in the comments ⬇ As Always 🤙
Thank you for sharing this. I'm 25, in grad school, newly married, and starting my career. I think this video came at the right time to remind me of the reality about my priorities in life. Keeping these basics in mind is the clarity I need to stay consistent and manage my time more efficiently. I really like your videos about crawling, hanging, and jumping and I wonder how to design a minimalist routine for those movements. Thank you!
Congrats on all the progress in life! 2x per week doing more traditional strength training like in this video. 2x per week doing "movement sessions" combining crawling, hanging, some jumps, maybe even adding in some flexibility work. You'll be golden :) @@anthonyucella4243
Great video as always, and congrats to your family! Here's my minimalist approach:
MON-FRI, 5 rounds of 6 exercises with 30-sec rest between exercises, 2-min rest (with arm/hand/neck stretching) between rounds.
* Pull ups, full range and slow (8-12)
* Side hop squats (30)
* Push ups (30)
* Hanging leg raises (15)
* One legged calf raises (15)
* Pike pushups (20)
Should also mention the full body yoga routine (morning, afternoon, before bed) which include the pigeon and exterior/interior hip stretches that you shared with us.
I've seen incredible results. I feel loosey goosey all day. My tennis elbow is gone. My ring and pinky fingers were starting to numb out on me, but they have healed and playing guitar is no longer a struggle. I also had a massive ganglion cyst on my wrist for over 15 years, it popped 8 months ago and has not returned. I feel so strong and my 6-yr old has been inspired and I sometimes find him on the floor doing push ups and pikes as well.
Question, do you have any videos that discuss chronic Achilles tendinitis and/or plantar fasciitis? Would love to hear your view on any exercises that deal with that. I injured myself 3 years ago due to doing too much too quickly, after a long period of inactivity (got lazy due to our newborn at the time, was busy being a stay-at-home-dad and slacked off on my work outs.)
Thanks for everything. Kudos!
Bruh. I'm in my mid 30s feel like it's over. I'm 300 lbs and used to have a 8 pack. I can't lose weight and working out stresses me out so much I get sick and lose hair
Spot on, 31 yo right now and playing squash but body started to fail no me. I do this exact approach in my basement gym and add in exercises that strengthen my weak points, for example knees and hips. 1 year after my PFPS diagnosis i can now play pain free and getting even better. My 30-40 yo period is gonna be my physical peak for longevity.
Dad in 30s and I can confirm. I’ve completely transformed my physique doing weighted pushups, pullups, and squats. It doesn’t need to be complicated.
How many days per week do you do this? Do you do the same thing every training session or switch it up? I'm looking to simplify my routine too and I'm trying to break the mindset that simple hinders gains.
Pls do more content for parents!!! Got a beautiful 2 and 4.5 yr old! The lack of sleep, routine = bad cravings = low motivation to workout. Pls help!! Great tips so far. Congrats on your twins - double the blessings!
Impress thyself.
- One secound at a time.
- Just sharpen your thoughts 💪
You should be sleeping pretty well at those ages
@@rym7174 Ever heard the term each kid, situation is different? Not sure abt u but I try not make assumptions especially w parents
I think the problem that many people fall into is focusing on the destination and not the journey itself...the process is never going to be instant, normally its slow, buuuuut really worth the wait !! Oh, BTW, CONGRATULATIONS on your 2 bundles of joy 🎉🎉🎉❤
I'm 42... yet have been following you guys for few years... and glad I have . Thank you again😊
Welcome to fatherhood! One of the most beneficial things I've done is switch to a hybrid type of workout between calisthenics and kettle bells. After injuries through work and weight training, this was the best option to gain strength and mobility. Best choice ever. I picked up a few workouts from this video, thank you for putting great info out, brother. God bless!
51 and father of an 11 year old daughter. I’ve been rock climbing for 20+ years and my daughter joined my gym’s climbing team last year. Love the sport and what it’s taught me about my body over the years and love the time I get to spend with her! I’ve always supplemented with weights and really like a ‘landmine’ setup. Super versatile and pretty minimal for when I can’t get to the gym.
Congrats on the twins. Been watching a while and can tell that you’ll be a great dad. Thank you for everything you do and thanks for motivating my 33 year old self. Skateboarding has beaten me bad over the years, yet you’ve given me so much hope! All the best to your family!
Man he nailed it when he spoke about being in your 30s/40s and that you arent in the mindset of trying to be an elite athlete anymore. That is so so true. I just turned 40 and i used to workout in college and shortly after graduation about 6 times a week. Then i got busy with work, life, all of the stuff that comes with getting older and now I just want to maximize my time i have for workouts and whatever my body transforms to, im fine with. I just want to move each day, improve my mindset and live with the results. This channel has really sparked my motivation once again!
Great content. I really like how you always show the multitude of opportunities one has with little to no equipment. That really makes it real life applicable for most people.
💯
In my 50's and still trying to stay fit. I love getting some of my workouts in doing work around the property. Dragging Logs our of the forest, splitting firewood, clearing brush. Round it out with some gym work, and it keeps me in pretty good shape.
As always. Big thanks! This is still inspiring. 🙏
As a 36 yo father of twins, I understand what you are living ! 😅
no way same age. Awesome to hear from you man!
Congrats on twins! Children are life changers, looking forward to following your journey. I have 3 girls, oldest is 8. At 39, I'm still discovering my peak physically but recovery is challenging, so it's a fine balance of stimulation vs overtraining. We're fortuate to have a variety of training methods and influences, it's then a case of finding what works, what's fun, and what's sustainable. Ideally move more than you sit... that's not always so easy for me in my profession.
I also have 3 girls, oldest is 5 😊
@@detoxfidelity you're busy! Good luck to us when they get older! 😀
Such a great point right there. It's been similar for me. managing recovery, active rest days, a bit of cross training, but mostly just trying ti get quality rest when I can :)
This has been super helpful i became a father at 35 less than 2 years ago, and i've been feeling myself get weaker. As s result i've been getting injured over basic stuff. I'd become pretty depressed, and realized something has to change. Gonna try to put this all into practice, its good to know its never too late
Congratulations on becoming a father! I have twins as well, they're 4 now and the first few years were definitely a struggle and like most people I ended up neglecting my training/nutrition while simply trying to keep my head above water. A year later I had gained about 15lbs and realized that if I wanted to be able to keep up with them as they grow and run around than I better get into shape. Your channel definitely helped out since we were in and out of lockdowns back then
Nothing beats the joy, happiness and craziness of having kids.
This is great. I’m 43 and have been extremely lazy for a while. I just started a PPL program with some cardio a few days ago and this video is very helpful. Congratulations to you and the family.
What's ppl? I'm mid thirties and I have been stagnant for like ten years and it has truly taken it's toll... I need to make a change but I don't know where to start, it's overwhelming and honestly.. I hate working out ... I desire movement and freedom but I just can't bring myself to start. I think I have fear too because I prefer immediate results lola
@@ChantelStays
PPL: push pull legs.
Routine you can do. I understand what you are saying. It’s tuff to start and can you can become discouraged if you aren’t seeing any progress. I can get the same way but I just tell myself “you got this and will be ok” keep up the hard work and you got this.
My first kids were twin boys too. Almost 14 years ago. They are the reason I started a home gym. It's really fun when they start working out in the garage with me. Keep up the great work.
Congratulations on the twins! First time mom at 42 here so this is soooo timely and perfect. Short and to the point is just what we need !
Congrats Josh! 40yo father of two here. Your work was so important when they were tiny in focusing on enjoying movement, process over outcome, and building up momentum. Now enjoying home gym barbell strength training for first time in my life. Respect to you and all the parents out there.
Suscribed in my late 30s and there is an alive body still after 40🇦🇷
This is gold!
I just became dad like you and I'm trying to do just what you describe (two workouts in a week)
Less is more! Keep at it my man congrats on fatherhood
@@Strengthside congrats to you as well! And by the way thanks for all the great free content you share on social, always very interesting and inspiring

So excited for your beautiful family. Children are definitely the greatest blessing. Enjoy them every single second, especially when they are little, because it truly does fly by. Congratulations! And as always, thank you for the excellent content. Always so informative and helpful.
I actually started off my fitness journey at 31 (I am going on 33 this year) where i started with a bit of running (and obviously healthier eating closer to a semi strict LCHF with aded 8-16 fasting), added stretching after a while followed by bodyweight exercises i could do in my kitchen combined with a short routine of core mobility in the morning and before bed. I kept doin HIIT running of mostly 3Km runs 2-4 times/w. last year i got a gym membership after regularly using an outdoors gym a few times/w. I have now dropped from 120kg to 85kg and built myself up to the 97kg i am today. The real gains started when i combined an indoor gym with the goal of doing an actual pullup (i were mostly seated by the computer and sofa for almost 10 years due to untreated depression and NPF diagnoses). Started off with hanging in bars for 20s, i have progressed to 1m 10s over a year and are able to do assisted pullups with no weight assist. I only do bodyweight exercises combined with callisthenics and running, this equals out to about 1-2hrs of actual dedicated exercise/week, 1-3 15min runs at 3km HIIT. 1-3 40min gym sessions. This in combination with 2-5min mobility routines in the mornings and before bed got me healthier and much stronger than i ever were in my youth. This channel have given me lots of inspiration and added many exercises to my rotation. Thanks guys!
My advice is WALK A LOT and move with purpose, really think about how you move, it will help you live better, longer, stronger.
Great video guys! I became a dad for the first time two years ago now so can definitely relate to a lot of the ideas here.
My training has changed a lot since becoming a dad and they can be more challenging at times. Its such a cool feeling though getting into a handstand and your kiddo comes alongside you to try and get into a handstand too.
Congrats on the kiddos! It's been 40 years since mine were little, but what a joy! I've just recently started finally getting more regular on workouts after a few decades of "Someday..." I want to be around to be able to keep pestering my wife and enjoying my great-grandchilden growing up (when I have some, that is). Your videos are very motivating.
I'm 29 and only planning to have a kid (we're trying) and I'm working on myself also. My goal is to do a handstand, planche and a human flag😅 I'm trying to train throughout the day since I work from home (even just going to the toilet with some animal movement).
You've also inspired me on creating my CZcams channel that would focus on animal movement, calisthenics and yoga.
420, much love from Russia, brother
much respect brother! Love the animal movements to the bathroom haha
I would love to see future content about staying fit as a parent. Being a parent really is a crazy job and getting everything under the hood can be quite a challenge. Love to everyone who is sharing this ride.❤🙏
Easy peasy! It only takes 5 to 10 minutes a day. Reachout if you want help.
yup. I never had any issues with weight until I got pregnant the first time and hit the second trimester. haven't been able to lose enough weight to get back to my normal weight in 4 years
@@hllymchll It is a doable programmable thing.
Just turned 31 and had my first kid last year back in August. During the pregnancy I had slowly stopped working out as we had to get life together for the baby to be. Then getting a new job and etc to when the baby was born my focus just wasn’t on working out especially with the little sleep I was getting. Now that she’s a few months older sleep has been getting better and now to start the year I’m back to working out and my GF has joined me in the mix. Luckily grandma is obsessed with the baby so the days we want to workout for a good hour or so she has no problem coming over and now in my 30s this vid popping up was perfect timing
I just turned 40 and have been working out for 25 years. The notion that once you get to this age, your body will inevitably weaken is outdated BS. As long as you adjust how you are training, emphasize things like mobility, form, and recovery, eat very well and lead a very healthful lifestyle, you can continue to improve for many more years to come. I'm in the best shape of my life now, not just aesthetically but also functionally. In my opinion, 40 is the perfect junction of having peak physical capability combined with years of accumulated wisdom.

Love your videos because of you guys I got my pull up game back at 55 and more importantly, just work on flexibility, squatting and daily dead hangs just feeling good is what it’s all about. appreciate you!
It’s so funny , I been training for twelve years, im 29 with 2 kids and this is how I train intuitively now. Calisthenics mixed with weights and HITT are my go to now. Saves me time. And it’s ways better for my body and joints !
Congratulations on your twins. I am a 69 year old father of a grown up son and daughter. Enjoy the ride! - Dave
I’m 52, been working out since high school, have three kids, including one, just out of university, one in second year, and an eight-year-old. How do you stay fit through your 30s 40s and into your 50s is by making yourself the priority. 45 minutes of any kind of exercise four days a week is all it takes whether you’re pushing pulling squatting, running biking, walking callisthenics yoga just do it!
If you have to wake up at six in the morning or work out at seven or eight in the evening, just do it .
Be the priority, and everything else in life will be easier as you’ll be fit and young.
I am 34 with a family and the time you have available to train is no longer the same, then without a wive and kid. So i can only train 3 times a week. I do two full body workouts. Workout A: weighted push ups, barbell row, military press, barbell back squat and some exercises for biceps, triceps and abs. Workout B: dumbell chest press, latt puldown/ pull ups, deathlift and rear delts and of course some exercises for arms and abs. And the third day i do a hiit training for 30 min. Just to keep my stamina on point. This workout works for me. It will never make me myster olympia, but i keeps me strong and fitt while being a dad and a husband.
Love this! Just found your channel and the content is great. I'm a life-long athlete of 57 and I've been fortunate enough to build a solid home gym. I'm going to start implementing some of your ideas. Thank you... and cheers!
There is a great research paper called "No time to lift" that basically tells the same story. Push Pull Squat with at least four sets per muscle per week. The gains will be slower, but not everybody has the time/money/whatever to go 3-5 times to the gym for 90 minutes. I have been doing it with the sole purpose of "sticking to it". Forcing myself not to add any sets or exercises but stick to this short training routine for at least 6 weeks before changing a thing. I only add 60 mins zone 2 training and 1 day of 100 heavy-ish kettlebellswings to get the pump pumping. Keep going, your stuff is great guys!
Congrats on the twins!
New twin dad here myself, at 43 it's a challenge to keep up with a steady workout routine. Would love to see more content geared towards new parents. Thanks and peace! 🙏✌️
congrats! cool to hear from another twin parent. Will definitely come with some dad content later this year
33. Have 3 kids. Ive progressively been building up my at home gym equipment for 8 years now. Love training at home!
became a father 9 months ago, fully understand the challenges and yes its easy to slide. Just stay at it every day a bit. I feel that from a desk job and stress my focus is more and more on yoga, breathing and functional rehab but I love mixing it with old school strength workouts. The mental aspect is also super important. Thanks for the cool video!
I have been a subscriber probably the last year to two years now. I’ve done everything from sports to martial arts for bout 20+ years with strength training being a high focus for 10+ of those years. Definitely wrote some complicated crap for myself too lol 😅
Now I’m bout to be 32, have a few injuries from all the high impact and stress (nothing too bad), and a demanding job (and life) which has caused me to fall off the last several years. Even in this last year trying to get back in shape has been hard cause I kept making it complicated. Love your content cause it makes sense and provided much needed perspective!
Congrats on the kiddos! Well wishes to you and yours! Keep up the great content.
My approach was: after 8h of sitting at a desk, 15-30 minutes of immediate full force self resistance dynamic strength training; seemed like a holly grail(no equipment or conditions mandatory) that lead to noticeable gains in 3 months (mass and strength) ... and sent me to physical therapy in 6 months :D Lesson learned: After 30's, warmup and stretching = mandatory and unless we know the mechanics of all the muscles in the body, compound movements are the way
My rings are hanging in my garage, thanks to my you. LOVE IT! I’m a certified personal trainer. Im 59, my clients are older. I teach a more minimalist approach to empower them. We hang so much!
man, congratulations on your twins. I have a 2 year old son and I well know the struggle.
Really love your stuff guys keep it up!! Dad to a 2 year old and all my training went out the window when he was born, however 8 months ago I got really consistent with little daily activities. The best way I find to stay consistent was to do little bits all throughout the day! I work from a desk so I set a 25 minute timer every time I sit down, when the timer goes off I complete a set of reps on a given exercise, push ups pull ups squats dips leg raises ect, this consistence every day along with eating well has helped me get down to 17% body fat for the first time in my life, my plan is to continue this while upping the difficulty by going through the progressions and adding weight!! Anybody else do anything like this?
Appreciate this so much, congrats on the kids too, the biggest blessing. Echo what he said about a home gym. I have a pull up bar, some kettlebells and a weighted vest, about 20 square feet of garage space, and have never felt too limited. I also have 4 kids, but it’s easy to get something quick and effective done a few times a week.
Sided note, as your kids get older, they actually appreciate seeing their dad have a workout routine… more is caught than is taught, as they say!
Congrats on the boys my man, the video on using your time well as a parent would be awesome for me. It's definitely the one thing I really struggle with as I don't have a lot of equipment at home
What about 60's ! I'm 62,..love your content.
Hey there youngster. 68 and just entered my second year of strength training.
Me too!! I just started watching these guys 3 weeks ago..
@@Sam_SaraguyAwesome!!
amin brother! my daughter is 3 months old and unfortunatelly i did not manage to train recently. my body aches! good news is that we found a nany so yeeeees! going back at it!
Omg yes. Im 33 years old. I was a gym rat as a younger man. Now, you just described my routine. I feel good, i dont get hurt. I love it. Yes yes yes.
Congrats on the twins!! This video hit home for me, and was incredibly reassuring I am on the right track. Through covid (and wfh), becoming a father, and entering my 30’s, what you describe is exactly what I do…calisthenics, the super sets, push/pull/squats…the only difference is my mentality is all around “maintenance” as opposed to actively seeking/planning progressive overload..
When the kids came, and they are now 2 and 4, everything changed. So did my training.
I reduced it to the minimum, doing at least 10 push-ups every single day was my staring point. Now I'm doing 25 pushups + 20 in variation, 15 Burpees and 50 bodyweight squats. I love it and has become a part of me. Shout out to you guys and @kboges!
Man it is so refreshing to have someone talk to us older guys and gals like an adult. As with most things in life simplicity is key.
Since COVID I've been training the minimalist way-pull ups,ring dips and single squats variations, recently i put a doorframe pull up bar at home with rings and now i have no excuses, thanks for all the great content keep it up... cheers from Israel
such clean editing on this one! keep it up yall 💪
I agree
Amazing, brother. I just turned 40 & u just summed up my approach to fitness in one video. Longevity is something I strive for & probably the only reason why I still strength-train lol. Need it to keep skating/bouldering till I'm grey😂
I love this minimalist approach. We see some people in their 60d and 70s who are such monster strength and health machines. Looking to build that safely and gradually, with focus on functionality, strength, energy, flexibility, agility. Love to the whole family! Keep the great trainings coming, many thanks!
Still healthy and strong at 43! As a busy wife and mom to three, I understand the importance of longevity and “aging” slowly. Most people mistake me for being around 30 and I attribute that to strength training with weights (since age 16), ballet, Pilates, yoga, Budokon, Capoeira. I’ve tried it all, but moving well and often is what has created a youthful body and mind for me, personally.
amazing Vid bro, as a 29 year old I appreciate the hell out of this video. your gonna be gonna be a kick-ass dad bro.
All love!
I just saw your video and I want to say congratulations twin boys. If you think about it, that is a minimalist approach to a new family.
Much love to you Strength side . Appreciate the passion and love y’all share in this CZcams community for living a healthy lifestyle for your mind, body and soul…and friends and family.
Looking forward to more. Yall are a blessing friends
can totally identify witih this. I am 37 with 5 kids and the home gym has been the biggest help simply because of the time constraints, as you mention. Thank you!
This is great! I'm a mum of three 3 and under, it's a hectic life and I want to keep myself healthy for them. Congrats on the beautiful twins!
I’ve transitioned to staying fit with fun things. Like climbing, skiing, mountain biking, etc. you can take the kids with and they benefit too. It’s a lot easier to stay in shape when it involves something that you find fun.
I love minimalism!! I'm 51, and my goal is to get back to where I was just a year ago. It seems whenever I start making good progress an injury or life gets in the way. My goal is to get back to where I was and heal my most recent injury. A groin injury...
Just want to say thanks so much for your content and positive attitude! I started my journey back into health 2 years ago. I consistently followed your stretch/mobility videos which motivated back into progressive overload strength training. I’m now 36 and in tremendous health as a direct result 🙏
You guys are the best. I've been wanting a video like this for a while. As a 37 year old dad, time is not in abundance, but I want to be a superman for my kid. Your workouts are always helpful, and really motivating. Congrats on the kids!
Thanks man! low time high efficiency is the name of the game!
For years since I've gotten out of the military, I've gotten onto and fallen off the fitness wagon. I'm a parent now, though, and this video rang so true. I very much appreciate you guys and your content and the time you take to provide said content.
Also, huge congrats on the twin boys dude, that's amazing!
Im obsessed with yoga but this all started with following you two through covid. Im 50ish and my body feels wrecked after Covid (working remotely was great but a real detriment)...Im working to maintain mobility while building strength. I like these suggestions.
Bro. Hit the nail on this one. I’ve got twin girls and this video just affirmed all the training I’ve been doing. Bang for buck. Thanks legend! And all the best with your family
I have twins, it's insane how much harder they are than just one baby. It's not twice as hard, it's exponentially harder! Congratulations man, it's an amazing experience. The first year is the hardest, after that it becomes much, much easier and fun :) Just gotta survive and sleep whenever the opportunity presents itself.
haha It's been a wild ride already. I keep thinking if we have another baby in the future it's going to be really easy. Nice to hear from another twin parent!
I'm a female, 52, just keep on doing it! No excuses.
God video and recommendations. Im 33 and recently became a father so had to implement new training routines. 2 days a week, one upper and one lower body. 4 simple exercises per session focusing om movement quality, progressive overload and god warmup and stretching session and of course getting mostly quality nutrition. Strength is going up on key movements.
If interested my movements on lower Day ars: front squat, stiff leg deadlift, Bulgarien split squat, Calf raise variation.
Upper: military Press, chinup, dips and seated row
Congrats on the babes! Yes I’m doing your suggestions regarding my workouts🙏🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the video and congrats on the twins! My twin boys just turned two a couple months ago.
Occam's Razor applied with perfections! Big up and congrats on the twins 🙌
being a parent is what forced me to be more minimalist in every aspect of my life: I had to be more intentional because my of my limited time and resources. sometimes limitations on our time and space can make us more creative. it is also so easy to put them first and yourself last. that said, my kids are older now and since I workout at home, they see me working to my goals everyday and I hope that will help them be motivated to stay fit their whole lives.
I'm sure it's having a huge influence on them. Much respect for walking the walk
I agree. I'm 40, have been training for over 25 yrs, and have also switched to goblet squats. I also moved from 5 days a week to 4 and my workouts are ~45 minutes vs 1 to 1.5 hrs like they used to be. I have short rest periods and get 5-6 exercises in that time, in addition to my warmup sets.
Clear, effective and simple message, without ads or spin. Great work
Wasted my 20s, then got married at 29 and built a career and a family with 4 kids, now at 39 I’m getting divorced and looking to join special forces. Been working on getting fit and prepped for selection; just found this channel and appreciate the pro tips!
Hi @claytonthomas8806 I am a father of 2, 30yrs old, and I am curious about you joining the special forces. If you don't mind me asking, with all your kids under 10 and special forces likely being long periods of time away from family, what is your motivation behind that decision? I couldn't imagine living far away from my kids for any period of time. Maybe that's not how special forces work?
In which country you can sign for special forces at 39?
I’m turning 31 in a few months and for me what’s stood out is the importance of proper rest and recovery. When I was in my early twenties I could eat poorly and not worry about sleep that much, and still get fitter. Nowadays, simple things like getting enough protein and stretching well after lifting is paying dividends.
31 y/o father of 1 with 1 on the way here. Currently have several full body free weight/pull-up/push-up circuits I circulate through. I like combining movements and do 4 different movements per superset to both build tone and get solid Z2 cardio all in 45min-1hr. Minimalist fitness is where it’s at for full time working parents! All you need is a living room and maybe a kettlebell.
32, Dad of 3 kids 5 and under. Movement, posture and functional strength are the goal. The big limitation right now is that I have maxed out my existing equipment and need additional, but those purchases are quite expensive and need to be timed well.
Congratulations on becoming a father and thanks for video, appreciated
This helped me greatly. I have a 4 year old and just had a new born. I do recreational sports. I only care to train so that I don’t injure myself during sports, and I like to fit a T shirt without a bulge. That’s about it. Thanks for this.
My baby girl is one month and I will definitely want to see any parent workout vids!
Glad DAD in action. Enjoy the time. They do grow up quick. I look forward to seeing some "DAD" inspired routines in the future.
Congrats, those little rascals are lucky to have a father and mother like yourselves! Peace and love ❤
Im 39 father of a 3 year old. Staying healthy is my top priority for 2024. Its hard to find the time, strength and motivation to stay healthy. So keep up
Congratulations on the new twins! 🎉🎇💖
Congrats on being a dad, 2 at a time is next level. That must be really cool rising twins
So awesome to see the babies and looking forward to see how you might incorporate caring for and playing with babies into future routines 😊
Just turned 60 and as a female strength training is even more important now…been training since I was 17 as a fitness leader and my own personal programs. I have recently dropped the gym sessions and now have a gym at home with dumbbells, kettlebells and a pull up bar. Absolutely loving my minimalist set up and I’m getting some better gains with this rather than using machines at the gym. Love Watching your vids and am always inspired by you boys. Ps congrats on the twins…they are adorable 🙏🥰
sounds like a great setup! Keep up the minimalist lifestyle :)
Congrats on the twins! I have a 2 year old and I was having a hard time staying consistent at all with weights, and then a year ago I learned about HIT (not HIIT), and started doing a slow set to failure on each machine at the gym (4 to 6 machines, leg press, pull down, chest press, row, and maybe leg curl and extension, and then some core) and have made super good consistent progress! I do weights once or twice a week for about 20 minutes a session which is super manageable! The strength translates to pull ups and push ups too! When I can't do my little machine circuit I do push ups and pull ups, but it's amazing! My workouts pre kid would easily take 70 minutes, but I think I feel stronger now than when I was doing that!
I would add the EMOM format to the list, as your workout is timed, so you can't overrun and it's very time efficient
