  • Sometimes it helps to get some clarity before even deciding what long-term changes we want to make! Getting to a relaxed, energized state can really help this. You only need a few hours.

    When fitness people say "you don't need motivation, you need discipline" it feels like such a self serving answer. Like they are patting themselves on the back for how disciplined they are. A lot of fitness stuff has this sort of scolding perspective, and that your videos don't is something I like about them. I strongly believe that what a lot of people consider to be "discipline" is just habits. Like a person who has been waking up early to go to the gym for years, that is a pretty easy task for them. So when someone asks advice they say "you need to be disciplined like me, wake up at 5am and go to the gym". It's this all or nothing mentality, where there is no room to grow into the person you want to be, you are just expected to already be that person.
    I have been working on exercising more lately, and a lot of it has just been making it really easy to exercise. Having exercise equipment close to hand so there is very little friction to use it, and programming my training so that it is fun so I am encouraged to continue. It took so much more "discipline" to do a single pullup every day when I first started than it takes to do a muscle up every day now a year or so later. Habits are so much more important than discipline.

    When I get good sleep, eat well, and work out, the resulting clarity brings me back to the reality of how much I hate my job and how boring my free time is, then I end up back to booze. It definitely feels like a cycle. I have plans to quit the job soon.

    As someone who's struggled with depression and anxiety (self-diagnosed) since I was in primary school, I feel like my life has never been on track. But all the lows in my life make what others might consider basic or simple - sleeping for more than 6hrs straight, admiring the green grass and blue skies, filling my tummy up with a warm meal, putting away that one item I've left out for a month - even more beautiful. ✨
    It might not seem like much but when I think back on my day, I can almost always feel a sense of pride and gratitude that I'm doing well. I hope everyone reading this can also learn to be their own cheerleader and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

    As of writing this, I am 289 pounds. Last month I hit a peak of 308 pounds, and I feel like I truly woke up for the first time in my life. Staring at the mirror I had what felt like a dam burst forth with negative thoughts about my lifestyle and my body. I have never smoked or drank, and I've never participated in recreational drugs, but I've had a life long food addiction for as long as I can remember. You are one to the main inspirations that keep me working out daily, I've started a calorie deficit diet with tons of protein and focused on calisthenics, though I do throw some weights around here and there. This is a massive message but I wanted to say thank you for all of the lives you have positively impacted with your kind and empathetic energy. I have never felt more alive, more awake, and more energetic than I do today, and I know it will only get better. You guys changed my life and I'm finally starting to love myself.

    As someone who has struggled with a lot of mental and physical health issues over the years, one thing I have noticed consistently is that when your body in general is unhealthy, so too often are your mind and your thoughts also unhealthy.
    Taking time to cater to your body's primary physical needs can make a fundamental difference to the way you feel and think, and the ways to do that which are laid out in this video are exactly the kinds of things that I've also personally found can help to achieve that.
    This is a great video, thanks. 🙂

    I changed my lifestyle 3 years ago. I work out everyday, and try to take in more proteins and veggies everyday but sometimes I am unmotivated. What helps for me is establishing a base line - which for me is 8,000 steps in a 24 hour day. On these days I don’t worry about speed or what I eat or if I accomplish anything else. I walk slow AF and I tell myself how proud I am that I’m doing this when 3 years ago this little bit would have been a lot.
    Sometimes after a walk, I’m ready to take on more. Sometimes I don’t get that 8,000 step until after 11 pm. Either way, I know the next day is a new day to recommit to my life goals.

    I want to throw a comment towards you that you are the reason I started weightlifting. I think this small change has made me learn a surprising amount about myself - about how I want to be productive and end up feeling empty at the end, because I have to learn to enjoy the journey, not the product. I have to aim not for the dream house or the perfect child or the hot body, but the act of decorating, parenting, moving my body. I think this will change my life. What I’m saying is you have changed my life, and thank you ❤

    As of today I’m down 71 lbs, blood pressure is under control and they are thinking of taking me off some. It’s so difficult some days, but I take those as motivation to keep going. If I can make it through the tough days, the easy days are that much easier.

I wanted to express gratitude for your videos and your Hybrid 2.0 routine. The videos motivated me to start calisthenics. I love your energy, warmth and clarity. But it was the programme that helped me to build a habitual routine that I am sticking to. I love when I develop on to the next progression, watch your model clips and get going. Thanks for helping me get exercising again. Keep doing what you do!

  • @DramaLlama2310
    @DramaLlama2310 Před 8 měsíci +12

    As an almost 40 year old with a demanding job, I can say what great advice this is. It all starts with sleeping, diet and exercise and we are too focussed on almost immediately getting back to where we were and then feeling overwhelmed by the prospect.
    Also, make sure you eat some protein for breakfast (I'm talking a boiled egg, which you can make once or twice a week in bulk). Having protein with some carbs really helps us not slump so low by mid day and so helps us with diet choices and so on, like Hampton mentioned. ❤

    Funny how you post this now. About 3 weeks ago I was doing CrossFit and I noticed myself getting less consistent and not being as motivated as I should be. I realized that CrossFit wasn't taking me to my goals. After a lot of looking I found you and some other creators who inspired me to make my own fitness routine that would progress me towards more short-term goals that I would be genuinely proud of. I have been doing it for 2 weeks and I love it. I'm almost hitting my pistol squat and my handstand is probably about 1-2 months away. Along with this I noticed I was sleeping better and eating better. So it just goes to show that if you don't have an end in sight, you won't see any reason to keep going.

    @GregorKappler Před 9 měsíci +5

    Thanks for your take on this issue! I also found small steps is key! Motivation is not enough, discipline is also required. It is true both ways: Discipline is not enough, motivation is required.
    I rebuilt my motivation from zero and today I do not want to skip a day of doing some workout any more, since a year. Typically I do a lot of brief microexercices of varying intensity with few longer sessions throughout the day.
    Whenever I catch myself on the couch I tell myself "off the couch!", if I then find myself lazy still on the couch I tell myself "on the ground!".
    Then maybe I warm up a bit, or do search some hard move, that I am failing or have discomfort, or squat or, when I am whiny, I just lay down, and press against the floor. Or I at least scratch an itch or massage a knot. Move!
    That worked quite well for me!
    Also, it might sound silly, praying during exercising did wonders for me. Jesus!, you be careful who you pray to!

Oftentimes when I am in a "down," I feel like I am just waiting for the good days to come back. Taking those tiny steps while I'm down, even if it's a fraction of what I really want to be doing, does help so much. Great advice and something I needed to hear again. Have a beautiful day yall

    That CEO's perspective is nuanced and brilliant. It's hard to take your own advice, but this approach helps you see things from another person's perspective.
    I agree, breaking free from negative spirals is tough.
    For me, the change began with the 6-part sleep series on the Andrew Huberman podcast. Starting with sleep, as you suggested, helped everything else fall into place.
    I went from no physical activity and eating takeout regularly to walking daily, getting morning light, cooking proper meals with Hello Fresh or Gousto, and starting calisthenics.
    These small changes have made me feel like a new person. My mood is much better, and I finally feel "normal" after years of depression. I'm 35 now and it makes me sad to think of the wasted time, but it's better than being stuck in misery.
    I'm even going for a new job and have made it to the final interview stage.
    Starting small has made a huge difference, and I feel like a snowball gaining momentum. I don't beat myself up for occasional slip-ups because that leads back to the path I never want to go down again.
    While it wasn't just one podcast series that changed everything, it was the catalyst. I recommend it to anyone. They're long, so listen while walking!
    And as Hampton says, do some calisthenics and follow his wisdom!

    This video is absolutely beautiful and I cannot espress how much I appreciate it. I'm only 38yrs old and literally as of last month, my medical issues I'm on military disability for, have gotten so bad I can't physically do my job, I'm limping more than walking, and my overall quality of life has declined. Which makes it so difficult to even walk my dog and I can't hike or ride my bike anymore. I'm doing physically therapy weekly, and I will need surgery for some of these issues. I always work out at home, but it so difficult with how restricted I am, how painful it is, and it's stressful trying to figure out what workouts I can do now. I finally ordered your book (it was out of stock the last time I went to order it) and I will take things one day at a time and always remember to find those simple things I can control to make my life better. Being an adult with recently diagnosed ADHD has made getting things done and having control over my life difficult too. But now knowing why I always felt so different has made it easier to find tools that help. Like your videos and workouts. Thank you Hampton ❤ you really are making a difference

But then I admit also to having nights I "take advantage" of being a thoroughly undisciplined retiree, which does an additional number on my sleeplessness after the middle-of-the-night bathroom run(s) (tmi?).... Love "CEO" of my life! I'd probably get fired of I weren't also the boss....

    Thank you for acknowledging individuals who struggle with discipline and for being willing to meet people where they are. For example executive function disorders and ADHD make some kinds self control and regulation hard or impossible. Other conditions, like ASD can make new routines overwhelming. Autoimmune disorders can have exhaustion or flares happen outside of the individuals control. Many different disorders make consistency harder than usual. It's good to hear someone in the fitness circle offer encouragement and ideas instead of hand waving it away with "need more discipline" only. Thanks.

    I have committed to half an hour of mental health every day. I don't obviously do it every day, some days are awful. But so far I passed only two days in a row once and others are like single day fall outs. I usually read a book for some time and then either write my thoughts on it or just have an open wonderings in my head, check with my emotions etc etc... Sometimes it lasts and hour. I can't tell how long I have been doing this, but it has helped me a ton. I feel a lot more mature and understanding of myself and like my body can follow and it's easier to do stuff because there this huge load off of my shoulders. So I'd say invest in your mental health. If you can't go to psychologist or just can't find a good match like me, read books in your bed with a cup of warm drink and do work yourself. No matter at where you are in life, mental heath is super important.

    You can always count on Hampton. I needed this. Been in a bit of a spiral as of late. Not only has work been aweful this past week, working me hours that have stopped.me from going to the gym, but also Ive been realizing that my family has destroyed my sense of self and concept of being loved.
    Ive been stairing down this crater of holes Im going to have to fill in if Im ever going to be worthy of being loved, and its just so much. Especially when this current economic situation means I can't escape my family.
    While seeing videos about my various issues helps me perhaps pinpoint them, is a good thing, sometimes you want someone to give you a rope out so you can climb... Digging too deep makes it hard to see the sun at some point.

    thank you very much for this video. It made me almost emotional, because I find myself in that dark zone quite often. And I get very hard on myself if my life is falling out of tracks. I feel like I'm trash and I can't do anything good. And your video reminded me that I just have to stay calm, and do little steps in the right direction. Thank you again

    Also I watched the whole ad that popped up in the middle of this video. I really really really really really really really really really love the outtakes at the end and I’m really really really considering getting that spiral bound exercise book for my routine. Perfect timing I just commented on that exact thing. ❤❤❤

    Must be something in the air, maybe it’s the time of year or the collective aura idk! But I’ve been meaning to reorganize my goal setting and reprioritizing this past week and haven’t had time til today! The universe must’ve known I needed some Hampton knowledge because this was perfect. Thank you.

    The step back has pretty much been this year for me, lost loved ones to illnesses and had to cut off toxic friends to recover and move forward. Still living day by day but we're slowly climbing again.
    love the positive content and it has helped me this year in starting to work out. Please, keep up the good work and have a beautiful day!

    Knowing what I should do, and even how to do it, weren't my main difficulty. Recently being diagnosed as an adult with ADD and getting treatment for it has changed my INtention deficit and allowed me to tackle many "shoulds" that I just wasn't capable of taking on consistently before. I've really been enjoying your exercise manual and gym rings. Thank you for your videos!

    I just want to say THANK YOU! I saw your old videos (like how to not get sick) long time ago and by chance just stumbled upon your channel again now and I am SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUR GROWTH and how much you already achieved with this channel!
    You have the best energy and you motivate me a lot!
    Thank you for your hard work and dedication! All the best for you and your channel

    Thank you, Hampton. The way you speak feels very inviting and it makes you come of as very approachable. I'm someone who's only started following you this year, but I manage to find myself coming back to your channel anyway. Appreciate these more "regular"-length videos. Keep it up, and keep inspiring everyone around you. Cheers!

    Very good advice. The understanding and empathy you have for the struggle of the small things is awesome. I think a lot of people believe they need to quit cold turkey or go so hardcore on something new like a diet or exercise program for example, then this results in them never starting (or quitting) or not staying consistent. Building habits is a slow process and requires building from where your at. You can’t run without learning to walk. But this includes people that have done it before and fallen off track as well. Learn to be gentle with yourself and go back to the basics, back to square one, just to get the ball rolling again. Thanks Hampton for the encouragement

    Thanks a lot for this video, Hampton. I have felt like I am having a bad mood lately and did not realize that it has been dragging longer than natural and clouding my mind. I feel like I got the push, and the pep talk I needed. Like I keep realizing that I need to meditate and it will improve, but I am procrastinating even doing that. Thanks to this video, I think I can stop my downward spiral.

  • @KriticalQuality
    @KriticalQuality Před 8 měsíci

    I'm just getting started on my fitness journey and vids like this on your channel have been immeasurably helpful for breaking me out of the same ol same sort of downward circular thinking that I've always allowed into my head and holds me back. This really helps.
    Thank you so much for doing what you do. Truly.

    Thank you for the relaxing video Hampton! It's really important to find a single thing to commit too when starting anything with no motivations. Remember what you need is discipline in order to feel motivated. I have been trying to be a healthier person by making a commitment to work out 3 days a week. I have been feeling so much more RELAXED and more mindful in my day to day. I have also noticed that I have begun building some muscle which it also pretty rewarding. Anyways thanks again for another great video!

    Hampton, I wish for a 100 more of these videos. This one came at exactly the right time - it almost brought a tear to my eye. What stands out the most is your exceptional kindness and your way of conveying simple tools in a respectful way for people to use. But most of all the kindness. I already knew everything you mentioned, but I often forget it all in times of stress or need, and your gentle reminders become a great gift. Please make more of these videos! Or how about a podcast (here on youTube)? Long format! Thank you!

    I really enjoyed this video. I find that taking a few deep breaths immediately helps too. Helps move from what you should do to actually doing it. It makes motivation come more easily as it reduces stress and brings in that clarity you speak of.

    I am trying to reflect and get back on track on a daily basis. I think I needed to do that because I struggle with mental health, and that can change very rapidly and get me off track quickly. Every day, every moment you realise you're not where you want to be, is the chance to get it right again. You can either say "it's been three month so it's too late" or "today is the new start I needed"
