What drives your training? What fuels your motivation? What are your long-term aspirations? Many of us initially embark on strength training or exercise for surface-level reasons, and while there's nothing inherently wrong with that, will it be sufficient to sustain your commitment over time? As long as we consistently dedicate ourselves to daily workouts and put in the effort, pursuing a pleasing physique is not detrimental-it's quite the contrary, in fact. However, the real challenge arises when motivation wanes because superficial objectives may not be compelling enough to keep us consistently engaged. Our aim is to remain active, in motion, and unwaveringly dedicated. What is your underlying motivation? - Sport
Absolutely love the deep dive on what training means to you. So many gems, this video requires a re-listen to fully absorb the insights.
you're video's are very usefull Daniel, and nice to see you around here aswell
Great video! I'm 70. Just lost over 200 pounds. Want to keep it off. Found out that I'm happier, more emotionally stable, and healthier when I work out. For me, that's your basic crawling patterns, some stretching movements, water-walking, and just plain old walking. No need to go bananas or anything.
I’ve been training for 10 years plus I’m 52, in the 2 years animal movements, and more stretching my body, warming up and down, just because I watch your channel Josh, you are an inspiration, and I’m more flexible now than I ever was, I can walk on my hands, do handstands cartwheels and people younger than me can’t believe it. I love your channel so much.👍🏻🤜🏻
Josh has always looked the way he looks today and he has always been able to do everything he does in all of his videos. He just appeared like that out of nowhere.
Wow what a guy.
@@VisiblyJacked Simply amazing.
I don't understand this comment.
@@frannelk I once read a book on SIDS AND STARS. I could not make sense of the book for about a year. Today? 7 years later? I'm landing on the centerline every time. My comment has nothing to do with taking off and landing airplanes or aviation navigation and the world will keep revolving around the sun even if you never, ever understand another pointless CZcams comment.
I totally agree! The reasons i go to the gym these days:
- To improve my flexibility
- Strengthen and bulletproofing my joints, so I can do what I love forever (climbing, football, jiu-jitsu, bicycling, boxing)
- 15% To look sexy naked (this used to be 100% the reason)
- Keeping my mental state positive
This effort in the gym, in turn makes me eat healthy. If i don't, I wasted that gym sesh.
I have never looked better, been more motivated to continue training, felt better, been more athletic, than I am now at 27. And I truly believe I'll have levelled up on all those points by 35 with continued effort!
Long time viewer here, first time commenting. Love from Norway
Thank you for all your videos it has helped me significantly with my health 😇
Man I am just like you. I am 16 years old and ever since I can remember have been playing sports and spending time outside, hiking, trekking, climbing. Last year we won the rock climbing state championship, I broke the javelin school record, and one the track and field state championship in vermont. My fitness journey has been the largest part of my life, expanding my body and mind in the healthiest and most efficient way possible. Naturally at this day and age, I have spent much time on the internet looking for answers, mostly questioning is it possible to have a good physique as well as strong performance. Its taken about 5 years now for me to transform from, home workouts, to gym workouts, to calistetics, to plyometrics, and so on. Now I have just recently become confident in a training program that I have designed for myself over the last 3 or so years involving all types of workouts. A lot of what I'm feeling now and what I wish I could tell others, is expressed in this video, thanks for the good work and the speaking of truth. A healthy combination for any young man or woman looking for answers.
I joined the strength side fam a little over a year ago and since then my mindset has shifted from the appearance to performance. Through a year of mindful movement and traveling and doing the work outs they provided I found myself in love with capoeira and how the body moves. This was about 6 months ago and I’m 24 now. So for a little over a decade I was forcing myself to go lift weights and go to a gym and do things I never truly enjoyed and just like Josh said, I eventually would be on and off. Once I found capoeira I immediately dove head first and even after 6 months I’m still in love, my problem now is that I need to be ok with rest days when I’m sore and not do anything other than stretch. It took my along time and A LOT of different practices till I found the one that gels with me. It’s been 6 months and now I’m almost to an “aesthetic” body whatever that means but at the same time I enjoy what I do and that’s most important to me now. So don’t give up! Try anything and everything who knows what kind of discipline will catch your attention. Stay strong, stay different family.
This year I started going to artistic gymnastics lessons and I'm really enjoying it. Everyone should practice the sport they love
I started training for physical freedom. I was a city bus driver, and it stiffened my body and caused some structural problems. Most importantly, I developed scaitica on both sides, it was terrible. I changed to a more active position at the same company and noticed my pain decreased. Now, I'm focused on building and flexibility and healing old work wounds as well as eating better.
Loved the video. Right where I’m at. At 65 years old I’ve spent 45 years doing the bodybuilding thing. Lifting, counting sets and reps even as much as I enjoyed it my body no longer appreciates the stress. Plus it was really getting a bit boring. So I’ve been experimenting with yoga, animal flow and a whole lot of the stuff you promote. It’s doing wonders for my enthusiasm and fitness. Keep it coming my brother
This channel has been super inspirational and helpful for me. I am 23 and I'm starting to have a really healthy relationship with my body and the reasons why I work out, wich are basicaly feeling healthy, pain free and building a base for years to come. Even then, here I get reminders to let go of certain patterns that we are so used to having, like worrying more about progress by looking in the mirror than actually being concious about technique progress. Thank you so much for everything ❤
Because of you my mobility has improved and has helped me with my deadlifts, squats and hip thrusts. My back feels so much better so, THANK YOU!💝💝💝
I resonate so strongly with this video and feel like I’m going on a similar journey. I first started working out to lose weight, then got caught up chasing aesthetics. Following that I discovered my love for lifting, but also got caught up chasing numbers. This year I moved to CrossFit and exposed my weaknesses (mobility, conditioning) and focussed more on performance and started to create a body I was happy with. I then recently tore my pec which has set me back, but it’s allowed me to plan what I want to do on the other side and I intend to get into kettlebell flow and really focus on moving well whilst getting stronger. Despite having a long rehab road ahead, I feel more excited than ever. Keep up the amazing work man! 🙏🏻
I love this format of discussing the whys and wherefores. Makes me think of what motivated me in the beginning and what is getting in my way now. Thank you, very thought-provoking. Looking forward to the next one.
You guys have such an awesome vibe. Fantastic video - I can really appreciate the perspective shift with such an important question. I started training to feel worthy and purely for aesthetics. Now, I keep an open mind to train for performance, strength, adventure, mobility and to be live well, and age well. I’ve gained a new appreciation as I age to be able to move my body - what a gift! ☀️✌️
These are deep philosophical questions! I train to be healthy. I don't take any prescriptions. I see people my age stuck on the couch watching TV for fun. I ride a motorcycle, ski, play tennis, golf (just at the range), and go to the batting cages every summer. I am inspired by your videos. Thanks!
I'm three months into a transition away from the gym and conventional lifting, and toward a more healthy appraoch (and mindset). Your channel is brilliant- thanks for all the information.
This RAW series is amazing! Great content and videography! Keep it going Josh!!
Hell yes! I resonate with this so hard. Thank you for the new movement pattern ideas!
this might be one of my favorite videos from you guys. great stuff josh. i’m going through a bit of a shoulder issue right now and it’s making me rethink my training methods. not enough mobility training in my daily workouts and i think it’s time to prioritize mobility and flexibility along with my strength training 💪🏼
Cheers brother. One thing I always remind myself is "a little goes a long ways" as long as its consistent.
Doing strength exercises with a flexibility component can result in more usable strength through your range of motion, which reduces the likelihood of injury. I've found it also leads to much faster flexibility gains. Reverse planks are a good example of this for the shoulders and can be progressed to crab pose.
4 shoulder dislocations and 2 knee dislocations from skateboarding... I'm working on the same things. I follow the daily practice videos (almost) every day and also started crawling. Been doing basic calisthenics for quite a while. The hardest thing for me is rest days because I am too motivated. I know that sounds ridiculous 😂
I love it that these two guys I’ve been watching and listening for years are sitting chatting to one another calisthenics and primal movement Nice! freedom of movement
Thanks for the vid, guys. I really enjoyed it.
Personally I'm trying to get a hold of the mental side of it all. Mind/muscle connections, motivations, willpower, breaking junk food habits, mindfulness, you name it. I've done the back and forth of fit/unfit so many times in my 20s and now mid 30s. I just want to slow down, consider why and how I'm doing things, and form a fit lifestyle I can actually enjoy and stick to.
Very respectable man! I think that mindful part is huge. Tapping into the "how I do one thing is how I do everything" mentality.
been following you since you were at 90k, it's so dope to witness you and your channel's growth. you're a true inspiration!
These pro production videos hit different!! Love them
Got inspired by 1 of your videos to start a new routine, rings ! Always been weak with shoulder exercises but have now found a fantastic alternative. People often forget that they have to enjoy the process and not just focus on goals that may or may not come. After turning 30 I found a way to make peace with myself and have been able to hold on to that. Now at nearly 50 I can look at myself and honestly say I have very little to complain about hehe ! Taking on new challenges keeps me motivated, thnx for the inspiration !
Big fan of you guys. I train to be healthy. 61yrs old, daily spinal pain, hip tightness, but still workout 5 days p/wk. Your stretching movements are in my routines.
It's been awhile. Please keep up with this series. I'm really enjoying your content.
One of the best videos I've seen in a while. I needed to here somethese lines. Thanks a lot!
Being with SS for a year, I love the Daily every morning. Sometimes I do two, followed by a 45 minute walk at work and more active SS stretch. This is good and truthful content. Now in my mid fifties moving is very important. Keep loving the animal flows as they are challenging and lots of fun. Practicing some simple very beginner Capoeira on my own as well to keep the challenge going. Thank you. Blessings😀
This is a great video. This is the most down to earth experience. The one thing I didn't do was pay and have fun. It's no wonder I stopped working out all the time. After viewing this video I found the love I was missing in training. Thank you for this.
Exactly what I needed, been thinking this for a bit but get lost in the millions of different types of training. Then, I found your channel and Fitness FAQ. Thanks❤
Hi, dear Creators of this channel! I'e been following it for a last couple of year, and sticked to it mainly because of the easy going infromal, yet important content. I'm 58, ex triatlonist, moviing arund is really is about keeping mentally and physically fit. Do a lot of animal flow, train on outdoor gyms, follow interminient fasting.. And most of all I enoy the process. You are doing a great work, thumbUp, Thanks
Great video gents! Very motivating for this old guy:) Keep up the great content!!
I am 57. Been gyms before but No goals achieved. Now I Boulder, indoor bouldering. I am achieving results as in completing routes and trying harder one's. My goals are always to push to harder routes and in the back of this I have lost weight,gained strength. I am always encouraged with the videos you send out. Thanks
Hey, I indoor boulder too. It has strengthened my body, and helped with my self-confidence and health. My son introduced me to it last year. I'm 71.
I’ve been overweight since middle school. Always wanting to change - trying to go to the gym or trying a new diet. But I never stuck with it. Then I found jiu jitsu 2 years ago and I started wanting to better my performance in the gym. Started eating right, doing strength and conditioning, stretching more. Not chasing a physique but better overall health and performance. Now I’m constantly wanting to ‘play’ and be more active. I haven’t quite reached original physique goals but definitely on my way and just enjoying learning new skills and having fun. Cheers to anyone out there on their own journey
Great perspective, thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on learning that sideflip! I've seen it in a few of your videos now and it's definetly improving!
Ready for what's in store for epi 3
This is exactly what I needed today. I think I have been looking in the mirror and feeling disappointed. I strength train, but I have always had a negative view of my body. I need to change my focus. I love animal flow, so I am going to focus on that. I am aware that I am very critical of my body, but I am healthy and I don't appreciate that.
There are definitely things I would like to be better at, so I am going to place my focus there.
You are absolutely right, fun and dedication through the process is everything.
After 3 years of quite extreme unactiveness, I started slowly with animal flow, because I love the aesthetic beautiful flow movements and I also think they are very healthy. I also cure my health anxiety by causing some pain and increase my heart rate on purpose. 😅 Later on I want to do parcour, Inline skating (in an iceskating way) and I want to be able to climb on trees. All for the fun, of course. 😊
Omg I enjoyed this new serious! I can't wait for the next episode!
Love this.
You actually are human!
100% relatable except that I still haven't got the physique that I want partly because of the terribly sedentary nature of my work and work routine even though I try to stay active 5 out of 7 days in a week.
Hurts (mentally) that I hurt my back yesterday and have to take today off but YES - find something you enjoy and be in flow state.
The whole aesthetics angle is very complicated (in an age of social media) and I'm 100% convinced that simple stress negates a lot of the gains and ability to get and maintain physiques.
Hoping for that perpetual intrinsic motivation.
Keep going!
that was amazing!!! thank u so much!
Please bring more of these in a longer format !!
the new raw content is so pure and unique!
I train my spine everyday, just a few minutes, and for sho the resting squat;)
I can recommend the morning routines by Joseph bartz. very simple but gold if u do it every day
two most inteligent fitness guys in one place. I have to watch that interview.
Josh, you managed to put into words what I’ve been doing for years but didn’t realize it. Yes, as everyone else who works out, I’ve always been looking for results to come sooner but instead I was often disappointed with the lack of results “why am I not getting leaner or why my physique isn’t improving as fast as it should?!” But I still keep going to the gym 3 times a week (I just turned 61) still going at it and lately I added calisthenics at home to my other 3 days ...why? Cuz (you nailed it) I just enjoy the process of it all and yeah, over time, I have definitely improved my physique over the years and became leaner and still pursuing perfection in my routines. So keep up the good work on delivering your messages to the masses. I truly enjoy them Cheers!
need more of those RAW episode ! love it
Always love your videos and listening to your thoughts.
Good stuff, I'm a new BJJ Student and find myself committing to my workouts even more so to succeed at BJJ, healthy mind and body all around. Love it.
relatable and inspiring, thanks for sharing your truth!

45 YO dad, training so I'm in good shape to play with my grandkids down the road. BTW, are you a dad now? When's the due date?
I am training to feel and look good in my old age. I just turned 59. I am at the beginning, but love it more every day!!!
@@joyceholloway7889 "strength is the fountain of youth" ⛲ 🐣
I just love working out..bcaz i get results...and its my entertainment, health goal..mind, spirit, body...benefits..evolved through the years...
Amazing Video! Love how you casually did. some frontflips and proceeded to Talk
TRYING haha thank you
Aussie represent 🇦🇺 🤗
Good advice !
I’m still on my way to your ‘before’ body 😅 but playing the long game is key
Also don’t get sucked in to lifting heavier weights than you can; form and slowly advancing is key
I recently got to 3 pull-ups, from 1, and I will take that as a win. Yoga is also great conditioning for your body and another type of strength training I would recommend.
Such a deep content is gold for me. Thanks Josh 🤙
Hi guys,
great video as always - thank you!
Thanks to your videos and wisdom I am trying to do a hand-stand (among other stuff, of course). It was only yesterday when I found out that a hand-stand is much more difficult when my legs aren't leaning against a wall... Go figure. :) So I still have a long way to go, but I am enjoying the process a lot!
Because the important thing for me is the journey and having fun doing it. :)
Thank you and keep having fun!
BR, M
This was so good man, thank you.
love this series
Awesome Video and message. I think this Raw series is great and looking forward to more I also would like to get a human animal shirt!
What a video… pure words!!
Great video, very inspirational
I’m nowhere near where I want to be, at the age of 18 I started to workout and figured out that it’s something I have a passion for along with an overall healthy lifestyle. Now at 42 I continue but I can’t wait to be able to do a split and handstand. #goals
thank for sharing!
Just one thing:
Great video, so happy to see this side of Strength side. Music is a little corporate and not really the vibe that I love from Strength side. Just my feedback! cheers
This is inspiring, thank you!
12:43 is exactly the group of activities I've personally fallen in love with as an adult 😂
aren't they the best?
Fantastic content. Nice work
3:49 the muscle up jump on the bar is so sick!!
No entiendo mucho de las cosas que dicen en el canal pese a que llevo siguiendo hace unos años, por el tema del lenguaje.
Sin embargo, aprendo viendo.
Y este video me ha llegado.
Haciendo una retrospectiva:
Toda mi vida he hecho ejercicio en el gym, aunque hace unos 3 años me recluí en casa, un poco antes de la pandemia.
Sufría variaciones de peso drásticas.
Hace 3 años pesaba 133kg.
Bajé a 100 en 6 meses.
El siguiente año oscilaba entre 100 y 110kg.
El año pasado, al iniciar, tomé Anadrol, llegando a aumentar 10kg a mediados del año para luego suspenderlo (y con ello el ejercicio) otro medio año.
Este año Llegué a pesar 122kg
En la actualidad peso 104kg.
Quisiera llegar a 90kg.
Espero lograrlo antes de que concluya el año.
Jajajja como ves, mi vida ha sido una lucha de mi propio cuerpo.
Veo tu canal, que corres, que saltas, que haces elasticidad, resistencia y hasta algo de hathayoga me cae...
Tienes un gran dominio de tu cuerpo, ademas de estetico.
Quisiera llevar a ese punto de permanecer anclado en un peso, manteniendo el fisico tal y como esté, asi como el aue tu tienes: Atlético, fornido, esbelto, estético.
Hoy dia tengo 29 años, a unos 4 meses de cumplir 30.
Me da algo de miedo, jajajaja😅.
Lo digo por lo desafiante que la vida puede llegar a ser.
Este canal es muy inspirador.
Recién descubrí que tienes ascendencia mexicana, Josh.
Mi nombre es Omar.
Nací y vivo en México
Solo como dato curioso: Mi aspecto del rostro es ligeramente similar al tuyo y tu hermano (creo que es tu hermano, jajajaja. Se parecen).
Saludos!
I love this man
Training is discipline, dedication and meditation for me. My friends complain about their poor health and the 150 medications and tests they have. Training is a lifelong pursuit to inner balance and happiness and also to remain strong and out of nursing homes.
Would love to see you guys just playing around in the warehouse!
I had meniscus surgery 10 weeks ago. My therapy goal now is to move like you.
Giving me so much hope because I just had a major knee injury. Tibial Plateu. Really curious to know what type of knee injury you had ?? I’m 32 and docs telling me it’s going to take 6-12 months to fully heal
i train cause it make me feel good, strong and capable I've been training for 15 years now and in the last couple of years i do some bodyweight stuff ,yoga,jump rope and walking
I liked your content already, but EXTRA bonus points for reading creative act from Rick Rubin 😎
Just watched the movie "air", one of the lines in the movie was "the act itself is the Destination".
enjoyed that movie!
I am really liking training animal flows, stretching. But when I am watching video's about how to get to a certain goal/strength for a certain movement I feel I don't want that. I don't want to set goals, train specific for it for weeks and months. I just want to move and feel good. This means I can't do certain parts of the sessions I pick from YT, but that doesn't matter. The hours before a workout I start thinking about what I would like to do, what will give me a good vibe. Then I search a training which will do that. One day this is a long stretching routine, the other day it's a dryland skate training, then it's the gym or some crawling movements. I feel I am getting stronger, more flexible and so on. But the most important thing is that I feel good during and after my workout because I did what my gut feeling wanted me to do.
That gym looks like movement heaven
Show off…love you guys doh going to workout with you guys forever❤
I just turned 39. Looking to get super jacked by my 40’s.
I just turned 45 myself. I’m 6’2” tall & (was 300lbs.) have struggled with being overweight or even obese my whole life. I started my journey just over a year and a half ago & I now weighed this morning at 169.3lbs. & for the first time in my life actually have muscle definition (& a 28 year old girlfriend 😉). You can do it, don’t give up. Tip: I bought a mountain bike to get started & still use mostly only body weight exercises.
@@ronniek.7331 Hell yeah Bro. I am 180 down from 200 lbs. Checked my BF percentage and am hangin around 18. It is inspiring to hear your journey.
@aurorahiraeth5896 Thanks man. That's a really nice BF %, not sure what mine is but according to my Samsung Health app my BMI is like 19.0.
Fantastic episode, keep this sh** going !!!
appreciate that !
We really need more push for movement, mobility and skill work, fitness industry took over world in a way where basically bodybuilding is only aspect of fitness & health, leaving others in a complete darkness. @@Strengthside
You asked where I'm at in my training journey? I'm trying to be cross-discipline with my body and cross-flow. By that I mean I'll do a bit of Capoeira, a bit if weight lifting, a bit of yoga and a bit of animal flows depending on the discipline I'm more into at any one time, the feeling in the body, as well as working on specific skills within being a massage therapist.
Super wholesome
sheesh! you the man Josh!
I recall to see 2 guys in this channel, now there is only one, I wonder what happened?, Entonces tu hablas español, me recuerdo a ver visto varios videos tuyos grabados en Barcelona... Saludos 🙌🙌
How did Josh become the fitness version of Neil DeGrasse Tyson?! Since the last time I watched? 😄 I love it! ❤❤❤❤
I looove that you have Rick Rubin's book😊
such a good book!
Sorry, but I love the 'human animal' shirt - where can I get one (or two 😂) of these? ❤
Nice video 🌲🐻 Is this tshirt Human Animal for sale ?
At 67 years old, I enjoy the gym, I go, I mostly lift weight, mostly functional exercises. And I do enjoy it and I feel I’m strong for my age and weight. I’ve recently started to take an interest in mobility and movement, I want to learn new skills. But, I’m blocked by fear. Fear of failure, fear of falling, fear of injury. Can you help please?
Your going to a kick ass dad bro!!!
Btw me and my roomate were betting on where your hertitage was from. I said Armenina he said Colmbia. We both lost
What kind of mats are those?
Imagining josh as a fighter 😮
Curious what’s your height and weight ?
