How Fit Can Dan Get In 10 Weeks?

You’ll have noticed over the past few months on GSN that there had been a number of references to my lack of health partly tine cheek but I do have to admit that there’s greater than a grain of actuality to it you see in 2018 I reckon I did less than a thousand kilometers in complete on my bike there are a few factors for that I is not going to go into excellent element however there is first of all the fact that i am abroad and for that reason away a lot and i’ve bought a family i don’t wish to get back house i’m going on the bike for 3 hours instantly when I get by means of the door there’s additionally the truth that I’ve received relatively a protracted travel into work and works been very busy good i am undoubtedly now not complaining about that motive i am very privileged i really like work and i love talking about sight notably of that although there’s the fact that but there may be the fact that i have never relatively desired to move out on my bike or else relatively frankly i would have made the time and i have been taking into account why that’s and i suppose i do know the cause I’ve concluded that the cause I got into biking was once not for the recent air or the gorgeous views that you just get or the centric enterprise or the social the health aspect it is considering the fact that I desired to get higher and faster do designated intervals and spot my numbers go up and ultimately get higher outcome in races and before you say whatever i know I wasn’t particularly successful in that division either however that was the rationale that I did it I got so far as I could with my ability however seven years down the line that power and pace has gone i will by no means be as excellent as I was once oh which you could start with the violins now the point i am looking to make is that uncle’ getting unfit I imply it is been a just right cause what i have been using ebikes and videos recently par from the actual fact they may be high-quality fun without one I are not able to preserve up with the opposite presenters who’re more commonly still fit as a fiddle and that i need to do something about it I imply i am going to be 40 rather quickly and this could be a slippery slope and principally i would like something that’s going to offset the ancient mineral water consumption the pub beer you are gonna want a 2d we’re going mmm and so I’ve hatched a plan one I consider even I will have to be capable to stay to i’m going to decide to a coaching application that’s ten weeks lengthy every week i will do 5 hours of coaching in whole of which 4 is going to be on the bye and with a view to be as time effective as possible i will be doing most of that on an indoor coach so with all that in intellect I acquired in touch with supper fest and they have kindly agreed to provide me with that very distinct 10-week training software to get essentially the most out of myself and likewise with elites who have kindly furnished me with a drive out to advise intelligent trainer upon which I might be struggling so a complete of 40 hours on the bike over ten weeks how difficult can it be extra importantly how match am i able to get over that point we additionally find out I first need to establish how fit or unfit i’m correct now and that lamentably goes to contain a lot of anguish on an indoor experiment i will do the whole frontal 4d peace of the fest experiment which I spoke to Neal Henderson about earlier he’s undergo fest chief science officer and educate to Rowan Dennis well Time Trial champion no much less Neal thank you to begin with for agreeing to instruct me over the next ten weeks opener taking too much time faraway from Rowan Dennis’s plan but I ought to do some checking out instances day i do know a little bit bit about the full-frontal for DP from what sy and Kris did lately however in case you might go over it again so i do know completely what i am in for that might be satisfactory yeah big photograph what we’re doing here is getting an proposal of the place you’re at throughout a number of exceptional time domains so we’re gonna start off with some short sprint efforts which are about six seconds long that’s telling us about your top nor muscular vigor 2d effort you are gonna do is gonna be a 5 minute effort and that’s gonna be what we name your max aerobic energy type of similar to just like the energy at vo2 max so that type of establishes your upper air robic ceiling that is one of the extra excessive scan efforts however do not fear we do follow it up with something else a little bit more somewhat more sustained on that 20 minute effort that is gonna then be particularly your your FTP or looking to maximum sustainable energy we do those in that order in order that we fairly get a better inspiration of what you could truly preserve putting that five minute on the entrance end it really does type of take the sting out and so that 20-minute is fairly extra sensible to what you could preserve for possibly as much as about an hour notably when you get through the entire ten weeks after which we emerge as with a final one-minute effort for what we name your anaerobic capacity and that is somewhat bit about diving fairly deep into these anaerobic reserves quite producing a ton of lactate and quite emptying out the tank wow it sounds brutal I imply I’ve achieved all of those intervals as a scan earlier than but no longer exact no longer inside an hour on the whole now not on the identical day i do not suppose in the past however i will provide it a go i am no longer definite what to anticipate virtually I’ve received no reference within the last 12 to sixteen months particularly of what i’m in a position of and that i presume i would love to fair bit so I feel pacing is going to be potentially really complicated yeah for definite because you’re coming up from the sofa right here there’s a type of matters that like in just a little bit on the judicious facet at the begin is often going to aid you out you realize we customarily say in that first 5 minutes to take the first couple minutes feeling such as you would most likely do extra mostly you’re just hanging on for pricey life within the last you recognize ninety seconds or minute or in order that 20 minute good goal probably is to make use of perhaps about eighty% of what you did for the 5-minute if you see what your traditional energy was once and just about there i’ve been sake far more bucks in juice on account that you mentioned this test so I feel I dunno what i am in for we’ll see whether or not i’m ready we will see what number of stuff the credits I’ve bought left in reality after struggling lots for the duration of my career i’m capable though i’m gonna go do the test now best just right good fortune Dan suffer good it can be time for the experiment my first Summerfest as Neal simply defined it can be referred to as four dimensional vigor or 4 DP or full-frontal so alternatively than simply doing a twenty minute experiment and extrapolating my FTP from that i’m additionally going to doing a max spring experiment appear at neuromuscular vigour that’s the one that’s going to come back first adopted by way of short destroy then a 5 minute effort to establish my maximal cardio vigour then it’s 20 minute test to establish FTP and finally in all-out one-minute effort to seek out my anaerobic power there is an excellent motive for this precise protocol it is on the grounds that every rider is unique and your FTP simplest tells part of your story so founded on the results of the test at present sufferfest will set very exact intervals with the intention to make sure that i’m struggling to the full at each period and for this reason making them highest features feasible over the following ten weeks and the truth that the assessments are very unique is gonna be critical to me when you consider that i am simplest doing four hours training a week and i want to ensure I get probably the most out of these hours on the bike presently i’m just five minutes into my warm-up heartrate already creeping up to 120 the notes cuz i am beautiful unfilled given that i’m particularly nervous why now i’m worried because I will not say bathroom twice pulled to begin this I’ve heard it’s gonna damage lots from a couple of humans slightly below two minutes until the first a part of the scan which is the primary of two’s max effort sprints the easiest of the test honestly [Music] slightly below a minute to head until my 5 minute effort so rather of being in a tall Britain i’m now on the dura d’Italia within the mountains I think i am annoying for about 300 that appears rather conservative I’ve bought no thought what to assume but i’m going to understand after a few minutes whether or not i can crease it or if that’s about right well if it can be an excessive amount of perhaps [Applause] [Music] I believe I pasted it about right I reckon I averaged recover from 300 somewhat miserable in itself on account that I’ve executed a pair rides up to now or I’ve had you averaged 300 watts for four hours and still got to someplace annoyingly have not got lengthy left before the twenty minutes s despite the fact that that is a component of this for the twenty minute test the common of in an effort to be what’s makes use of my FTP considering the 5 minutes that I’ve done that you will do before will carry that twenty minute vigour down and after your consultant of what you might frequently do for an hour if you are completely recent and i’m without doubt no longer thoroughly fresh three minutes to head ok ok get ready toidy three two one regular on the only three minutes in how are you 10 one hundred sixty but it surely does suppose relatively difficult to keep 250 watts in a second I suggestion I almost always typical about 240 up to now 2 4 5 mini [Music] – yeah gazing yo here we go sans Lord shake come on fight come on Francis Bacon yes gorgeous non secular are disloyal [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] yeah it can be just right have powers long gone up since you came in handiest i’m no longer sure i can final three minutes nearly recovered from the 20 minute sufficient to talk I consider a page that now not too unhealthy beautiful about 245 watts I reckon it did go up I’ve got excited once I had a crowd coming so it went to 60 and dip back off within the final minute or so now for the 5 minutes and the 20 minute scan it can be quite important to % it if you go too rapid at the you’ll be able to particularly die and your price and normal can be scale back than it must be but with one minute which you could find the money for to entrance-load it go fairly difficult on the begin and simply try to preserve on even though the vigour will probably be happening that is what i’m going to take a look at to do nevertheless it does make it a very long minute and i’m the robic one minute effort although now not after the earlier efforts ten seconds by using or [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Wow [Music] Oh [Music] Oh oh I’ve almost recovered it’s about three hours after I completed my scan i’m definite we will want to hear what the targeted results were so my highest 5-2nd vigor was 1035 used to be what too shabby at least I got into four figures there for five minutes I did 309 watts which is about what I was anticipating Oh then for 20 minutes I did 244 what so that is what will be my baseline FTP and then for that final one-minute experiment I did 440 was once now those outcome have somewhat tremendously categorised me as a sprinter I suppose the rationale for this is that I’ve misplaced a long way less of my very top end energy than i’ve on the longer length experiment so that could trade over the direction of the following 10 which if you are my present weight is 73 kilograms we surround about 4 kilograms more than my racing weight was again around about ten years ago now I sent all of the results over to Neil who’s been scanning over them so i am gonna name him now get the verdicts and get my program Neil I’ve just about recovered few hours after I did the test but I suppose it kinda was expected from my point of view nowhere near where I was earlier than however i could not anticipate to be there yeah i would say you realize I checked out some historic comparisons of what you did in these days versus what you’ve carried out let’s just say possibly about 10 years in the past and absolutely you will have had some decreases here and there but we received a plan to aid you flip that around yeah yeah well yeah it would be studious plans I’ve obtained 10 weeks I’ve acquired 4 hours on the bike there supply me an hour or so off the bike each and every week – so let’s with past the bike training which i’m going to be doing customarily on indoor trainers to maintain it focused but what is the plan over that ten weeks yeah tremendous photo we’re gonna have a balance of work and relaxation so we’ve got ten weeks to work with and we’re gonna do two weeks of style of extra intense coaching for week one and two and then the 1/3 week pull you again we’ll repeat that again a two week on one week off and for the final 4 weeks it should without a doubt be a 3 week on after which followed by way of an simpler week at the finish earlier than you get to retest and see what variety of improvement you make from in the full-frontal from today verse and week around and now could be it going to be divided between special intensities of effort you’re gonna concentrate me on one form every week like FTP or the anaerobic efforts or is there a bit of a little bit of each one each and every week yeah there’s there may be slightly bit of a mix this coming week is gonna be for just transition to get you again on so we will pull back the intensity a bit bit this first week to your second week is gonna have a little bit bit more of a focal point on on some strength a little bit bit better apparatus work and similar to you mention one of the most stuff off the bike some of the force coaching and matters like so that it will are all gonna be part of that and so it is fairly the balance of work and leisure so we’re no longer gonna not gonna put the hearth hose to you within the first week yeah so the stuff off the bike force coaching yoga comprehend him as a mental spring coaching which I I consider I would do i ponder if I would have pushed myself somewhat bit tougher on a few those checks if i have been mentally greater despite the fact that I was good I was continually unwell closer to the tip I push myself pretty rough the hour off the bike how will that week divide up and what am I more likely to achieve with that yeah we’re gonna give you a little bit of a mixture in a ultimate world we’d have you realize perhaps even something most days that you’re on the bike is you’re gonna have 4 days on the bike each and every week with the components that we’ve got for force training yoga and the intellectual longevity we’re simply gonna insert one of the vital highlights and one of the most key matters that are gonna be serving to you out in that week and as we construct up over the ten weeks cool i am watching forward to without a doubt so 10 weeks 4 hours we one hour off fit given my historical past and the dearth of training I’ve executed for the last 12 months or so what are you anticipating why do you feel i will be able to get to in 10 weeks plenty of times will say you realize a good fee of development is round one percentage per week although there’s a caveat that you have an expertise as a reliable athlete and so it can be possible that you may respond a bit of bit better than than the typical and so i wouldn’t be shocked if we saw some video games even within the 15 or 20% for you although i’m gonna set that the gold bar is about a ten percentage growth i am in my opinion aiming for a 300 watt FTP which is waiting yeah yeah it is in the realm of possibility effortless no feasible sure well i’d say there we go i am gonna be so to discover how so much acquire i will be able to make over the path of following couple of weeks i’m really fairly looking forward to seeing the numbers optimistically going the right direction all right Archie so Disney down there we go one and that is the place i’m going to be doing my struggling for the subsequent ten weeks as a minimum on the bike that is my small affliction cable supper station i assume you would name it now so I squeezed into the corner of our garage given that my spouse acquired this Jaguar however it’s quite just right for resting in towers on Wall road raining now as I stated previous elite sponsoring this for the following ten weeks and they’ve given me their power OH – smart trainer to make use of in that time and very satisfied about that for two explanations to begin with it can be really heavy and solid which goes to be quite useful given my newfound sprinter popularity however secondly the vigour meter inside of it’s enormously correct plus or minus 0.5 percentage so more correct that almost all vigor meters that you’ll be able to get on bikes out on the open avenue that’s so most important to me considering that I used to be peculiarly anal about my energy dater after I used to be a full time ride I even used to calibrate my possess vigour meter more often than not with the aid of putting weight off the cracks so up right here I’ve received my flat monitor television with my computing device hooked up at the back of it so I’ve acquired myself s programs there and then feel it or now not I’ve bought two fans I had many lovers in my lifetime too while it is pretty specified I specifically like that one there it’s resting on prime of the weed bin considering it makes me cool weird it’s fairly difficult to do as you realize i don’t suppose i am gonna be competent to again out of this now i am completely dedicated if you need to join in you’re greater than welcome if i’d like to have you ever alongside for the ride over the following 10 weeks we would have a mini competition so that you can make the most important percentage features over that point which might be beautiful fascinating you’ve got obtained a lot of time to get involved should you so wish we’re going to put all of the important points into the description just under this video my program starts on Tuesday the 8th of January so you’ve bought plenty of time to suffer in the full frontal test like I did just a little bit previous on once we get to Tuesday the eighth i am gonna supply typical updates on my social media so facebook Twitter and Instagram as good as importing all of my numbers to Strava the place you can see me at Daniel Lloyd from Bournemouth Plus on prime of all of that i’m going to give you updates on my development weekly every Tuesday on the GSN exhibit which in actual fact way i am no longer going to be ready to slack at all for the duration of this coaching software for now though i’m going to bid you a fond farewell as I mentally put together myself for my first training session meanwhile although if you want to see the causes behind the trying out protocol from Sufis it’s not simply for the reason that they may be sailors there’s some sound scientific reasoning in the back of it – psy explains all in the video that’s simply down right here

I Didn’t Do Cardio For 4 Weeks. This is What Happened To My Physique.

*regularly occurring music* I did not do cardio for 4 weeks after a 16-week reduce What occurred to my physique? Earlier than establishing this video. I might prefer to thank yo dois.

Well? That is what got here back kilos, that’s all it was once it wasn’t fat And that is what concerns you see placing on fats is so much slower of a approach than you consider at least if you happen to did what I did over these last four weeks, I didn’t do any cardio but I also did not have any low priced foods no Chipotle no speedy food and no bags chips I did have extra fruit.I did have some cans of soup It delivered up to me having more carbs in complete but I didn’t go out of my technique to consume something exceptional than I most likely did on the food regimen i’m technically still on the food regimen just taking a brief Refueling ruin if something did trade I simply ate a bigger quantity of the identical foods the 2nd thing that happened is i’m a little bit superior now than I was at week 16 of the eating regimen that you can determine out that video in the description beneath however the purpose is obvious doing cardio is doing further work and not having to do it implies that I store my vigour and more potential for Lifting the development and strength isn’t too titanic although. I realized a long time ago. If I need to be strong I have to weigh at the least 200 pounds this even entails a fat 200 kilos so i will fill out my leverages more information on that video for those who click here You see where my intellect is proper Now is a component of the motive why i have not placed on that a lot fats after not doing cardio for this long.Sure I did extend my reduce to 24 weeks and My mindset is that i’m going to must continue the reduce and that is without a doubt where matters get kind of hard you see for a time I used to be establishing to revert back to my older self ever so quite that after I had no choice whilst touring for work that I Did want to consume more of that bread now and then after I would not have but it surely did not quantity to some thing seeing that I without a doubt did not devour the bread I was once still eating the identical five or six meals a day controlled as I could during occasions of journey and yes I do comprehend which you can get fats from consuming oatmeal you can get fats from eating fowl breast and broccoli but you can have a harder time getting fats from eating those meals in comparison with eating chook nuggets and nutty bars So this is what i’ve been doing when I instructed my instruct might be beginning that I desired to prolong the weight-reduction plan to 24 weeks at week 16 He instructed me to revert again to how I ate the primary week of the reduce six foods a day 50 grams of Protein 30 grams of Carbs 15 grams of units except for the last meal the place there’s no carb this has been the same for fairly a while At week 17 I elevated the carbs from 30 grams per meal to forty grams per meal and every week 18 we went from forty grams per meal to 50 grams per meal then at week 19 We went to 30 grams of carbs per meal on days that I listed which was 4 days per week after which on days that I didn’t list which was once three days a week.I had 20 grams of carbs per meal No week sixteen 17 18 and 19. We’re all done without a cardio. So I was on the gym four occasions per week as an alternative of the weight loss plan peak of thirteen instances every week 4 days per week is a lot extra Sustainable now to the point of sustainability understanding 13 times per week is Unsustainable, it’s nuts. It can be loopy. Nobody wants to do it. No one can hold up with it that is going twice a day for six days every week and to your relaxation day on Monday You simplest go to the gym as soon as that day as an alternative than twice no person can keep up with that but there’s times for the period of a training period that you simply To push the boundaries in all competitive sporting activities that i will believe of when people coach they are going to push the boundaries of their physique just before the competition after which supply themselves a while to rest earlier than the true factor i will be able to inform you from my experience in Powerlifting even down on the state stage of competitors I customarily top my coaching about three to 4 weeks out from the competition day The three to 4 weeks time of leisure allowed my physique to get well from the educational and that i experienced anything called delayed Transformation the place from the relaxation my physique used to be stronger on competition day you could read more about it on this publication So in a food plan after you push very tough for a few weeks on the end your physique will rebound a bit bit Being a typical man who surely does not instruct a hundred% always hate to admit that it can be quality to have somewhat relaxation but more importantly it is pleasant to maintain the cleaner consuming habits from the weight loss program Afterwards you see for me the foremost purpose of the weight loss program was to learn how my body has modified due to the fact I first did my cut with Shelby starnes ten years ago and the way to reduce fat in these exchange? Instances the 2nd intention was once to get my lifestyles again in line and that i knew if I would get my food plan and undertaking habits again on factor i might be extra disciplined to tackle better problems like my work life which I used to be very unhappy with at the time I hated the whole thing about my existence in 2016 from my work to my relationships to my enjoyable routine even some thing like YouTube you could inform within the movies close the top of the yr that I just wasn’t glad with what was once going on I did not just like the concern that I used to be in and that i used to be going to do anything about it I wasn’t going to settle for the terrible difficulty that I was in throughout all fronts did not topic what it was once if it was for enjoyable, or if it was once for work I used to be going to make certain that I got myself out of the gap and then I was once going to stop making the reasons and Being okay with simply having everything in my lifestyles.Simply suck. I made excuses for why i would not pursue different possibilities. I made excuses For why would not pursue better possibilities and that i made excuses for why I was in the state that I was once in feeling sorry for myself my habits values and expectations Are back in line now after this weight loss program throughout this food regimen. We’re nonetheless on it And it can be as much as me to hold proper to that. I need to assist you to know this I’ve already talked to Shelby We’re carrying on with after week 24 due to the fact that i am relocating and the whole lot is insane correct now I desire you would see the room right now. I will exhibit you the room it can be a disaster, k This situation is a multitude correct that is the room that I are living in i will put this at the very finish and i believe handiest like 10% of people will virtually see it but the motive that we will continue is due to the fact that I relatively dropped the ball close the end and that i wouldn’t have really multiplied it four to 24 weeks is what is going on on? I am like being honest with you i know relating to the fats loss web publication.What’s going to happen to it? I am now not definite I at least want to like have a excellent topic when I to make a video like this on account that I need to be speakme about stuff that people can be inquisitive about random things like travelling at the same time on a weight loss program. I do not suppose too many men and women fairly stop to be really sincere So we’re going to have it at that, some thing video. I feel stands out as the excellent right i am not quitting and i am now not stopping I dropped the ball and that i dropped the ball in that I didn’t go to the health club after I needed to move to the gymnasium and i honestly ate way not up to what I typically wanted to consume for refuel those 50 grams of carbs per meal i am fortunate if I obtained 35 to 40 on some of those days considering I was once at a scientific conference for nine Days in Chicago So i am only a normal dude like can we just put it like that Thanks so much for gazing this week, and i might say see you next week however I don’t know if there is going to be a flatlock video next week there probably one the week after or after that Chris endings method too long humans just click on out of there, so

We Tried The 30 Day Gym Challenge

– I don’t go to the gym. I signed up for one like five months ago, I went for two weeks, and then I haven’t gone back. (upbeat music) I would say there are two things that prevent me from going to the gym frequently. One is time. I feel like I barely have time to do what I wanna do, and then when I get to the gym I’m kinda like what do I do here? I feel like an outsider. – Eating healthy’s not hard for me. The part that’s kind of challenging is working out. – My relationship with fitness is kind of like a roller coaster journey since college. – So, growing up, I wasn’t really that active, but I was always interested in kinda like the healthy lifestyle, in a way. – Since I moved to L.A. my physical activity is grocery shopping, walking around the office, getting coffee. – I know that I’m not super out of shape, but I want myself to be able to look at a before and an after shot and be like okay, so this hard work is paying off.

So, I feel like being consistent is my main issue. – With these 30 days, I hope that I can kinda find my way around the gym and find its role in my life. – I wanna be able to make it a consistent routine and habit of going every day, and if I miss a day, then at least it’s just one day than just missing a whole week of working out. – I mean, I figure if I just take a boatload of the classes, I’ll be fine. – Alright, ladies and gentlemen, it is day one of going to the gym for 30 days. You know, it was raining this morning, so I had to force myself to go. Today, I’m taking it slow, I’m taking it easy. I’m just gonna do some cardio, maybe some pushups, ab workout and stuff like that, and just kinda warm up my body. – Day one, I thought I could ease my way into it, so I booked a really fun dance workshop. I show up, and… (pop music) I did not know taking a dance class could be so hard.

It was very hard. I thought it’d be very chill ’cause I’m like, you know, I’m dancing. I don’t know how I’m gonna get up and walk. – So, I was supposed to go to the gym this morning, but someone overslept, and that was me. So, I had to go on my lunch break. I am actually on my lunch break. This is my lunch post-workout, but I did it, I went to the gym today.

– So, it’s day two. I came to do spinning, but I came too late and won’t let me in, therefore I need to figure out how to work out on my own. My strategy was to keep taking class after class because I don’t know what to do in the gym. So, I took spinning, hated it, I took… I don’t even know. It had a lot of weights in there, and I wasn’t into it at all. I’m meant to work out right now, but I ran out of clothing for the gym ’cause I own like four items. So, I have to go shopping before I can work out. – It is Saturday morning. It is raining, but guess where I’m going? To the gym, baby. – I took it upon to figure out what to do in the actual gym. Working out on my own was a lot more chill. I could take my time, then when I was actually doing my workout I could focus on what was happening, I could feel what was moving.

– Over the weekends I would do cardio, that way I don’t have to lift more weights and I could give my body a break, but I would still go to the gym. I’m feeling good. – A couple times it was a little crazy because I went to dinner. – Kiano, are you thinking about the gym right now? – And then I worked out. I’m not doing that one again. We just ate like 20 pounds of Korean food.

It’s like, what time? 8:00 p.m. and now I’m gonna go to the gym. And then I went to the gym after a seven-course dinner. That was miserable. I don’t wanna be here, but I’m here. I’m not gonna work out. I’m gonna stretch my body and chill ’cause I can barely walk. I’m very full. (upbeat music) – It is Monday, it is day 10. I’ve been going to the gym for 10 days straight. I haven’t missed a day. I feel stronger than ever, I feel so happy. I was noticing that I was feeling stronger, and I was like okay, so if I feel stronger, that means that this is working.

So, I would just keep getting more and more motivated instead of tired, which is crazy. I feel so proud of myself, honestly, that I’ve been doing this. Today, I thought that it was gonna be hard because it was Monday, but no, I was so motivated to just go after work and work out and sweat and lift weights. I’m so excited to see the final outcome. – There was one day I went to the gym, and it was right when Daylight Savings happened, so by the time I arrived, it had closed where I thought I had another hour. To make up for it, I will do a two-a-day workout. I’m really annoyed because my gym is very far from where I live. I drove like a half hour to get here, and I’m gonna eat my feelings. – So, coming into week three, I was going at it every day.

I would spend an hour a day in the gym, and then I started adding even more weights. – I’m about to go into dance class. I can’t video in there, but I’m excited. After working out on my own for a while and I was a lot more aware of what was happening when I was doing different workouts, it was a lot easier for me to take a class again because at the beginning, I didn’t know what was going on, I just knew I was doing a lot of different stuff. But then, having worked out on my own and going back to class, I knew what to focus on. Alright, I just finished dance class, and it was really good. I’m looking forward to doing this every week, every Monday, late at night, I don’t care. I brought people French from work. – Hello. – It’s so much more fun working out with people you know, you know? I’m not alone, we’re sweating together, I love it. – So, I’m here in Nashville, Tennessee, I’m in the hotel room, but that’s not stopping me from not going to the gym because first of all, the gym is here is really nice, and second of all, I’m pumped, so I’m going to the gym.

Let’s do it. Alright, so we’re in the countdown. We have about five days left of this challenge. So, when the last week of this challenge came, I was extra motivated. I was like, I can’t believe I’ve been going for over 20 days, I haven’t missed a day, I’m so excited. And then, as the last week started, I went to the gym and sadly, I’m starting to feel sick. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I’m going to go to the gym, but hopefully I still have enough energy to push through, but honestly, I’m not feeling too good.

Wish me luck. – So, final week, I went back to classes, and my last one was a dance class again. So, I did full circle, and that one was fun and I brought friends from work too. (upbeat music) – You know how two days ago I said I was feeling a little bit sick, but I was still going to the gym? (sniffles) Well, it’s been two days. I was super congested, so I couldn’t even breathe. So, that was when I knew that I had to stop for a little bit, and it was devastating because it was especially towards the end. I am definitely sick. I’ve missed the gym the last two days because it’s been impossible for me to go. Hopefully tomorrow I can go back and finish strong, but let’s see. – It went by quicker than I thought. – So, even though I did miss a few days towards the end, and as you can see, I still sound a little bit stuffy, so I’m still getting over that, it didn’t really change my perspective on the gym right now because now I’m super motivated.

I feel like I’m in a good level that if I just keep going consistently, I will see results. – From doing the challenge, I don’t feel as awkward walking into the gym. I knew people at reception, they know my name now, and that’s kind of… I like it, it’s like a community in its own. – Yo, that’s at 13 inches. That’s, hold on a sec. – What? Let’s do it! – I’m just happy my numbers didn’t go up. – Awesome. – That’s all I care about. (upbeat music) .

the sides of your stomach and hips do three sets with ten to 20 reps each number three kneeling vacuum kneel on the floor with your bum resting on your heels put your hands to the sides of your legs and pull your shoulders back now imagine that you need to touch your spine with your belly button and suck your stomach in as far as possible if it can’t pull it in very far at first don’t sweat it

it on the floor while keeping your left leg straight and finally reach your left hand up toward the ceiling just like a traditional plank this exercise works your stomach muscles as well as your back glutes and core but most of all the side plank focuses more on the obliques which is a surefire way to get rid of love handles try to hold this one for 15 to 60 seconds on each side do at least 3 reps number five swimmers lay down on your stomach with your arms stretched out in front of you and shoulder-width apart your feet should be hip-width apart on the mat tense your stomach muscles and lift

weight in your hands be it a dumbbell or just a gallon of water you’ll burn calories and build muscle mass at a much faster rate number seven woodchoppers stand straight with your feet shoulder-width

EEVSKU X FITNESS | Part 1

This year my theme is snow Not just as an element I was born in December and I am kind of a child of winter and christmas On the other hand, I am a child of sunshine Being finnish and having that “sisu” (perseverance) and strength But at the same time, the softness, fairness and purity – of snow So, now we are… “we”? All of us I am going to train my fitness routine Ringa (my choreographer) came from Jyväskylä to Helsinki Ringa have made all of my fitness routines besides the year 2013 We have known each other since the time we were doing gymnastics together and we have coached together too Ringa has made me…

4 fitness routines We started doing this routine last autumn and this has been ready for a long time but it always needs some fine adjustments Especially because I was ill for a while a go I still don’t know if I can do a whole routine or not When I was getting better from my flu, I went and try out to do it Is was not a good idea… That’s why I recovered a bit longer and tried to keep my training light I have been training my fitness routine about 2 times per week And this is probably the 3rd time, in this year, when we are seeing each other with Ringa But I am used to train alone I see my coach Teemu once a month, now when the competitions are coming, we are seeing a bit more often It is good to get some little tricks and do finetuning Let’s see…

What Ringa will think Eve has advanced a lot during these years When we started out together we had to concentrate on that it wouldn’t look so gymnastics -like Tightness has always been natural for her, but dancing is something we have been trying to train more Now things are going really well, considering her low energy Now we have to do just a little adjustments here and there The flips are so lively and powerful you can’t know which way is she going down There haven’t never been a question about Eve on stage.

She is always shining so bright It doesn’t matter what she is doing, and whether she’d forget her routine, performing is something she can do and that is also why we can concentrate on just a small things With other people I work with, we have to train technique till the last weeks to get the routine completed Gladly, with Eve we can focus on to the little details… which will guarantee her winning We are going to the gym I have been training my fitness routine this morning also I trained mainly technique and some rehabilitation for my back because I have some problems with it, and with my back’s facet lock it causes problems with my right side’s nervous system But now, let’s do some delts Maybe a bit arms…

And chest… My training program depends a lot about my feelings and I like to go “with the flow” I know approximately what to do But whatever feels good at that moment I do not plan strictly my programs Let’s go… Yeah I have to be precise with the movements and angles to my chest and delts When my back gets locked, it causes some nervous problems with the ride side of my body and it is hard for me to keep my right shoulder blade at its right form So I have to concentrate to do the movements right But yeah, you’ll always find some way to work things out And well, I wouldn’t say I’d had some major problems right now, But the fact is that with so many training years that I have, it gets harder and problematic sometimes *emotional explosion* Only because of training That emotional explosion is a combination of many things It is the big picture: how much I have been working for this, how hard times I have had before…

And now it finally feels that I have succeed (at least for myself) Winning is pretty important for me and… Of course I want to win I have been trying to think that maybe it isn’t everything and the most important thing And of course it couldn’t have ever been But I can admit that sometimes winning was the only thing that mattered and winning was the only thing that made me happy Oh what an explosion of emotions But it is kind of really cool that something like this can cause so big emotions What else could do the same…? Besides love But for myself I think I am going to achieve the goals I have made And be in the best shape where I have ever been If I could be just as lean as on my first year of competing Getting so lean and cutted is never easy for me, and for few it is But for me it takes a lot In the end calories are low and there is a lot of training And I know that even though I think I can and I could eat less and do more It is not always better It is definitely not always better I have a good feeling And I will enjoy this as much as I can I have been definitely working so hard for this Was the result whatever (hopefully good) I have deserved all this And I will enjoy it at full

TSP’s Rabish Ki Report | Rabish Chala Gym Part 1

Our ancestors always said to desire and exercise. otherwise the date of success and the rate of weight will be out of control We often blame the government for the unemployment in this country. But Prime Minister, Mr. Modi, ?? Let’s keep aside the fact that you have to pay for this labour instead of it paying you. So what we’ve come to see here today is who besides Akshay Kumar and Mr. Modi has taken the Fit India movement seriously. so a distant relative of the gym and the bodybuilding. Hello, I’m Raja Rabish Kumar. Hail to God Bajrang Bali Isn’t that what hardcore builders say. Let’s take a look. Just as I entered the gym, 2 hard-working labourers stared at me as if Arnab is paying their fees. I saw a lady running on the treadmill and it felt like I found Barkha When i saw her face I was heartbroken and shocked.

Anyway, just then the gym owner greeted me with full excitement. – Hello, Rabishji! – That 5 kg hand pressed my hand so bad that it seemed like the bell icon from Screenpati’s Youtube channel. Okay, okay, man. Listen, this hand holds the mic, not the dumbbells. It’s a little weak so please let go. However, always remember that my tongue is quite strong! Sorry, Rabishji. What will you have? Tea, coffee or a protein shake? I don’t want all that.

I’ll just have the answers to my questions. Will you give that? Of course, I will. Why won’t I? I’ll answer you proudly. just shoot it It’s not so easy, got it? ‘Cause even people with a 56″ chest are scared to answer me. That’s why they don’t give me their interviews You might have understood who I’m talking about? So tell me how do you train here? Rabishji, our gym is world-famous in our city. Sir, people come here with 1-2 packs but leave with… 6-8 packs. – Wow, he has biscuits growing… – Yes, he does. – You’re a step ahead of Lakhan then. – What do you mean? I mean Lakhan would only make 1-2 turn to 4, but you turn 1-2 into 4, 6 and even 8. – Isn’t that right? – Well… Tell me something. Won’t it make you infertile if you drink this protein shake? – I have 4 kids, Rabishji. – Isn’t that wrong? – How so? – You’re taking disadvantage of your fertility. It’s not good for the nation, bro. Hey, you’re not doing the sit-ups properly. With what the gym owner said, it was obvious that this gym isn’t easy, it’s an excruciating workout everyday but you need to work through it Anyways, our camera went ahead from there and focused on a fitness freak who was lifting less weight but shouting more.

So at last I asked him bro, since all your energy is wasted in sound energy is it really hurting you or are you over acting? It’s not over acting but a technique. You get energy doing this. – you get the charge – Watch out, man. Don’t lose it all. Why did you shout now? Rajaji, this is a mix asian art of Chinese, Japanese and Indian muscle making. Mix asian art. Our body and mind works in sync with this. The amount we waste in sound energy will come back into us in the form of cosmic energy. And Rajaji energy and matter are conciousness of your body.

It is not equal to MC square He looks like a devotee of Nityanand baba ‘Cause only his devotees have such deep knowledge of physics. isn’t it? – Help! Help! – Look, he’s lost it. Looks like all the energy of his matter went away in the cosmos. Generally, no one wants to show their exam result. But they love to show the entire world what their workout result is. We met a gym member like that. Who would either take a selfie or a dumbbell to check his before and after. Looks like you’ve lost a lot. You’re going to look like Captain America in 2 months. One day, Rabishji. I will be succesful. I’m working so hard, ain’t I? But I think you need to lose some more weight. Well Rabish ji, anything for you – What? – Here you go, Rabishji! You misunderstood, man. I was talking about losing your body weight not the dummbells’. You took this system wrong. – What’d you say, Rabishji? – Nothing, bro. – Rabishji, you said… – No, no. I said nothing. Rabishji, you said the ‘system’! Exactly! System, Rabishji.

The system! The system should let us lose our weight, right? You tell me, Rabishji. You tell me. Is it our job to just lift weights and reduce our weight? Don’t we have any duty towards the society? What will happen to all the poor people who are surviving by selling samosas, vada pavs, chowmein, hakka noodles and jalebi, if we become selfish to lose weight. will this system feed them, Rabish ji? No, man. No. Mr. Modi tells us to sell pakodas on one hand and on the other he starts Fit India movement! Who’s going to eat the pakodas if India is Fit, Rabishji? It’s not called developing nation, it’s contradiction. It’s contradiction, Rabishji.

And when their samosas and pakodas won’t sell, their children will turn into criminals because of hunger. They’ll hold guns in their hands and cause riots all over the nation. Will these toned body and 6-pack abs be able to face their 1″-2″ bullets? No! I ask you Rabish ji Will these gym owners provide security to their members? No, right? – Tell me something. – Yes? Are you on protein or on drugs? I just eat eggs, Rabishji. Indigenous one, The brown brown. However, I feel like you should be an employment minister of our country. ‘Cause you’ve made a good system within a system. You get fat and come to gym for gym owner’s livelihood. Then you go eat at the fast food places for their livelihood. – Very nice, bro. Very nice! – No, Rabishji. My heart’s just that way.

– soft, kind, cute and naughty – So… during the World War II When people had surrounded Hitler. Hitler said that, what happened was for the best. If I shoot anywhere, someone will surely die. That’s the kind of positivity I got from him. I think this nation needs builders and youth like him. For a while I got the feeling of Indian trains at the gym. When I saw a builder take the dumbbells to the bathroom like a ticketless traveller. But I went in like a TT and caught him. What is this? What are you doing? My camera is outside, bro. How will I report this? Open it. – Come on. – Come, come in. What are you doing, bro? What did you do? Actually, Rabishji, my gym membership has been expired, so I’m saving money by not letting people see me. That’s theft. but whats wrong in that. I’m quietly exercising and using my right. I’m not even bothering anyone. When I first came to get membership, they said it’s 4000 per month, and 4200 for 6 months. So I took it for 6 months. – But you only come for 1 month. – That’s right – You think they’ll refund me the rest? – They absolutely won’t.

You got me in trouble. He’s ruining my image. The nation says I’m a good journalist. – you got me in trouble. – Hold on.. Hold it.. How will I answer Mr. Modi? What do I tell him? What are you doing? – They’re gone… – What did you just do? Nuclear Bomb ! A threat is more than enough. – I’m sure you read the news, right? – Yeah. Okay, tell me why you didn’t come for the 5 months you’d paid for? Laziness. That’s all. – It took 5 months to wake up. – hmmm, your laziness was very lazy. Absolutely. But how do you hide from people when you come here? Rabishji, only my dumbbells recognise me at the gym. and they can’t talk. Also, I’m sure you’ve watched ‘3 Idiots’. You just need a uniform and not fees to come to a gym. and yeah, that I stole from the locker room. If the Indian government needs spies, come get him from the gym.

he is so good at spying. No one even knows about him. How will they know who I am? My body would’ve changed by then. – I’ll smash their teeth in! Bloody… – Okay, I’ll leave now. Do you need something? I can send it to you. Just a little room freshner. Not that, tell me if you need any dumbbells… – Okay? – I’ll get that myself. You also come along now. .

GYM MUSCLE GAIN BODY TRANSFORMATION CAPTAIN AMERICA WITH FREELETICS GYM

Hi, my name’s Julian, I’m 26 years old and currently a student. My whole life I’ve had problems gaining weight, maintaining my bodyweight or gaining muscle in general. I’ve always been very skinny but also always had the dream of gaining weight, being stronger and having a good physique. I went to the gym for a while, quite regularly. But this didn’t change anything and left me pretty frustrated. About half a year ago I went travelling around the world. During this time I realized how out of shape my body got from not doing any sports or exercising. This showed in how super skinny and gaunt I became. Freeletics Gym is a free app that creates you a personalized training plan every week. It guides you through every training session and teaches you all the movements. This was perfect for me as I didn’t have any experience with barbell training.

It adapts to your goals and experience and programs the training accordingly. Check the description for a free link. I’ve been training with Freeletics Gym for the last 18 weeks now. The first couple of weeks I focused on learning the exercises but soon after I was able to increase my weights on a weekly basis. I have become stronger than I ever could have imagined especially since I went to the gym for years before and never saw a real change.

Don’t forget to like and share the video 🙂 .

6 Simple Exercises to Get Bigger Arms In No Time

guys look if we’re not self-conscious about our abs or lack thereof then it’s our puny arms that have us looking in the mirror and sighing and disappointment okay maybe I’m being a little dramatic but seriously if you’re looking to beef up your arms fast then try these exercises out let’s start with the triceps these are the muscles that run along the back of your arm from your shoulder to your elbow a lot of people forget about them and that be a big mistake you see your arms aren’t just about the biceps you know the one you flex for someone when they want to feel your arm muscles in fact your biceps only make up one third of your upper arms the rest is all tricep so the rule of thumb is if you want really big arms you need to work on your triceps too and here are the exercises that will help you do it incline dumbbell skull Crusher’s lie down on an inclined bench with a dumbbell in each hand carefully bring your arms up overhead and keep your hands shoulder-width apart now slowly bend your elbows to bring the dumbbells toward your temples your upper arms shouldn’t move only your forearms straighten your arms back out and that’s one rep you need three sets of twelve to fifteen each it might seem like a lot but the triceps are one of those muscle groups that are hard to work on so you need more reps to start to feel it think of the first two sets as a sort of warm-up for your muscles just don’t overdo it with huge weights from the get-go building up your arms takes time so be patient and here’s a cool tip for you try to do this exercise at different angles and greps this will help you target different parts of your triceps there are three of them hence the whole try thing so that they get massive in no time reverse grip push-ups here’s a fun spin on traditional push-ups I’m sure you know how to do a push-up but here’s a reminder get on the floor with your arms straight hands in line with your shoulders and your feet straight back behind you pull your core in your stomach shouldn’t be hanging down now for the reverse style turn your hands in the opposite direction so that they’re fronting more toward your toes yeah it takes flexibility and strength so this one is in for beginners and if you can’t do it just work your way up from regular push-ups you’ll get there in no time don’t worry anyway this style will make the outside part of your triceps really work try to do four sets of 12 to 15 reps or work your way up to that goal as for the last set do as many reps as you can with the same weights on your back again if you’re new to the whole fitness game then work your way up to the weighted version – this one’s intense but it helps grow your triceps dramatically cable tricep pushdowns here’s probably one of the most classic and standard moves to build up your triceps grab the cable with your hands close together and your palms facing down keep your elbows tucked at your sides and bent at a 90 degree angle now straighten your elbows to bring the cable downward then slowly return to the initial position I’d recommend doing 3 sets of 15 reps for this one there are also different styles you can do with the cable machine like facing away from it and doing similar move like you did in the dumbbell Skullcrusher exercise just pick a style that you like best or do as many different times as you want in order to hit all the parts of the triceps ok let’s move on to those biceps if you want really big bulky biceps you’ll need to use the progressive overload method it basically means adding one more weight and intensity to your exercises with each set that you do starting with preacher curls sit down on a preacher bench and place your upper arms on the support pack make sure your armpits are right up on that pad and clean it afterwards you can grab an EZ curl bar dumbbells or a barbell whatever you choose pull it up toward your chin hold it there for a second and then slowly straighten your arms and bring it back down don’t straighten your elbows completely or you risk hurting they should stay slightly bent and parallel to each other don’t let them point outward try to do four sets of 12 to 15 reps to really blast those biceps barbell curl stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart head up shoulders back elbows tucked into your sides and your chest out now bring the barbell up to your chin by bending your elbows and engaging your biceps a great thing about barbell curls is that you can put your whole body into the last few reps when your arms are getting kinda tired you know it’s best to do 4 sets of 10 to 12 reps and don’t forget about that progressive overload thing add more weight to the bar with each set zot man curls for your final bicep exercise you’ll need to grab some dumbbells and hold one in each hand with your arms down at your sides and your palms facing your body keeping your elbows locked at your sides curl the weights up from your chin while turning your palms toward your face from there you’ll do a 180 with your hands so that your palms then face outward and lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position all this turning might sound complicated but it’s what targets both the inner and outer parts of your biceps making them big and bulky all around you need four sets of ten to twelve reps now before you run to the nearest gym and over train yourself there are some important things for you to know all this stuff about big arms and muscles isn’t just connected to lifting weights one of the essential things here is your diet yeah yeah it sounds so cliche but hear me out you need to take in more calories than your body requires right now with your current weight and the best way to do that is and guess is protein hey athletes don’t chug this stuff down for nothing more specifically you need a lean protein which can be found in eggs nuts fish chicken beef pork and low-fat dairy products name of yep if you want to gain inches around your arms try to consume one gram of protein per pound of your bodyweight you also shouldn’t underestimate the importance of staying hydrated and well rested water and sleep should be your best friends on your road to huge arms I know it sounds kind of random but it makes sense when you think about since you’ll be losing hydration through sweat you need to replace it by drinking at least six to eight glasses of water every day as for asleep I am sure you know the drill seven to eight hours each night but it’s especially important for people who work out because your muscles need time to chill and repair the micro tears they get from exercise it’s okay these tears are totally normal and that’s what builds a muscle in the first place so that’s it keep me updated on whether or not these tips work for you and if you know any other exercises that build big muscular arms then sound off in the comments down below and don’t forget to give this video a like share with your

6 Dumbest Push-Up Mistakes Sabotaging Your Chest Growth! STOP DOING THESE!

What’s going on nation? Today we’re going to be going over the six dumbest push-up mistakes sabotaging your chest growth, if you missed my last dumbest mistakes video on dips I’ll link to that down in the info section below. Now the push-up should be an exercise that becomes a staple in your workout program from the very beginning. However, it’s not just an exercise for beginners It can be used in advanced training programs as well because the push-up is more than just simply going up and down you can master that technique and then use advanced versions of the push-ups to make your workouts at home more intense or to make it work out in the gym more intense by super setting the push-up with other exercises. There’s lots of stuff you can do, I also want to tell you guys real quick before we get started with this video that I’m going to be doing the push-up on these two boxes right here. And the main reason why I’m going to be doing it is just so I can get better filming angles for you guys as I explain what the mistakes are, so you’re ready for this video and you enjoy my dumbest mistake series, make sure you hit that thumbs up button and subscribe if you haven’t already, now let’s get started.

The first mistake guys is that most people don’t even really know what full range of motion on a push-up looks like, I’ll tell you what when I was a kid I used to get so irritated because when I would do wrestling we’d have practice and part of our routine obviously was doing things like push-ups and sit-ups and we’d have to do a lot and I would look around and I’m like the only guy, I was like eight or nine doing it all the way down, all the way up really pushing myself and then I would see all these other kids on my wrestling team doing these half-ass push-ups just trying to get away with half reps because obviously push-ups can get pretty hard.

But then what that kind of turns into overtime is you really don’t get a sense of what full range of motion is supposed to look like and if you want to build a big chest at home and really want to activate your triceps you have to know how far to go down and how far to go up, so let’s get over here real quick. I’m going to jump up and now full range of motion is going to look like this guys, you’re going to get your body perfectly straight, you’re going to keep your back nice and straight your head straight You’re going to keep your hips down And you’re going to bring your chest all the way to the floor and as soon as your chest touches the floor you’re going to push yourself back up but it doesn’t stop here, when you get to here you’re going to push up and through activating your Serratus anterior, and you know some people call this a push up plus this movement from here to here but in my opinion that’s how every single repetition should look when you do a push up you should always take advantage of full range of motion to get the most out of the movement and if you want to build a big upper body at home and you want to activate your chest and triceps properl, you have to go all the way down and all the way up on every single repetition.

Mistake number two guys is flaring your elbows out wide and I’ll show you what I mean as you guys just saw in the first mistake video when I showed you proper range of motion my elbows are tucked in and I was pushing through like this a lot of people especially beginners when they do a push-up and even even people who know how to do a push-up properly when they start to fatigue the first thing that’s going to usually go is the elbows and what I mean is you start to see a lot of this and then as you go down the elbows kind of come out to the side like that.

And what this does is, obviously it takes you away from being in the strongest position possible but it can also transfer a lot of the load to your shoulders and you’ll feel a huge difference when you go up and down like this you’ll feel it in your shoulders. Then when you tuck those elbows back in and go down like this and push up and through you feel all chest and triceps.

So the second worst mistake you can do is start to flare your elbows out and do this. That’s not what a push-up supposed to look like. The third mistake is not keeping a straight spine throughout the movement. Guys it should literally look like there’s a metal rod going up your butt and out the top of your head as you perform your repetitions. You should keep your body perfectly straight and then the reason why most people don’t keep their bodies perfectly straight is because as they’re performing the movement they’re not controlling their core, and as their core starts to deflate or if they’re not taking it and keeping this area nice and tight as they start to deflate this way or they start to sag that way it causes the body to do all sorts of things and I’ll show you what I mean.

So usually there’s two things that happen, the most common thing is the hip step to go up really high like this to compensate for the weak core not being able to hold this position. Which is basically a plank position. So you start to see this happening with the push up which obviously starts to place a bit more emphasis on your shoulders as you do the movement so if the goal is to target your chest and utilize your triceps as much as possible you want to stay as straight as you can now the other thing that you see happen is kind of like a sag push-up where they sag real deep in the core like this and keep their chest up and it’s like as soon as your hips touch the ground here you go back up and as you guys can see there’s clearly a difference in the range of motion and that you’re actually working your chest if you’re doing a push up like that versus the correct way which is all the way down and all the way up, so when you guys are doing push ups make sure you are always keeping that spine straight and utilizing that full range of motion.

The fourth mistake guys is going way too fast on your repetitions you’ll see people in the gym do this when it’s time to do push-ups and what happens as soon as you start going too fast usually the first thing that happens is your full range of motion goes out the window. You don’t go all the way to the ground And you don’t do the plus at the top to activate the Serratus interior it usually just goes from about halfway down to about here, maybe even a slight bend in the elbows and you just see this, just because you’re going faster and doing more reps in less time doesn’t mean you’re working your chest as high as you possibly can guys full range of motion is always going to give you the most amount of work for muscle breakdown and regrowth now you can still go fast when you do your push ups.

Just make sure you go all the way down and all the way up on every single repetition. Mistake number five guys is improper breathing. The push-up even advanced versions of it isn’t like doing a heavy squat or heavy deadlift or even a heavy bench where you have to take in a lot of air to help keep your core as tight as possible to lift a maximum load. For the most part this is a bodyweight exercise and when doing your repetitions it’s okay to take a breath on every single rep but with that being said you are trying to keep your core as tight as possible so it does matter when you take the breath in and when you let it out. So for example what you’re going to do is you’re going to take in a breath as you go down, and when you take in a breath guys take it in through your nose, so take it in through your nose. Then once you get to the bottom as you’re pushing up let it out in a nice steady stream.

Just like this, take it in and one of the things I like best about bodyweight exercises is I actually use my breathing to help me keep a nice rhythm to do as many reps as I possibly can especially if I’m doing a timed workout. So any bodyweight exercise you do apply breathing just as you would like I just showed you to the push-up where you’re breathing out as you exert the force.

And the sixth and final mistake people make when it comes to push-ups guys is not progressing with the movement obviously as you start to get bigger and stronger and especially when you start going to the gym you start using heavy dumbbells and barbells on your chest exercises bodyweight push-ups are going to be tough anymore and for those of you who can’t do bodyweight push-ups yet I don’t want you going and basically trying to do one or two at a time and then stopping because you can’t handle a set of ten for those of you just starting out the best thing for you to do is to do push-ups on your knees.

What this is going to do is displace basically half of your body weight and allow you to do full range of motion and get all your repetitions in however I will say one thing you’ll notice that when I’m doing my push-ups on my knees. I’m not bending at the waist all right you still want to keep everything that’s moving as straight as possible so when you’re on your knees make sure you’re not putting your butt into the air. As soon as you master the knees push-ups then you’re going to go over into the regular push-ups and obviously, we just went over proper form for those and then once you get really good doing regular push-ups then you can start to go towards more advanced versions of the movement one of those advanced versions being weighted push-ups and you can do this several different ways obviously you can put on a weighted vest or you can have somebody just put a bunch of heavy plates on your back and do push-ups that way and once those start to get pretty easy then you can start moving into like plyo push-ups.

You can do a version of plyo push-ups where you’re pushing only your upper body off the ground. If you want to have fun with it, you can do a clap in between repetitions. As soon as you get really good at those try doing a plyo push up where you push your whole body into the air. Those are a lot of fun I actually use those a lot in my routines that I do with you guys, my full real-time workout routines.

And then if you guys want to get really crazy with your push-ups the last variation you can try is a single arm pushup, and that’s really great for working out at home because obviously if you’re at home and you have limited equipment you want to make push ups as hard as possible to try and grow your chest you can utilize something like a single line push-up to place a much heavier load on the chest on every single repetition. So that’s my six biggest mistakes when it comes to push-up guys I hope you enjoyed the video I love doing the dumbest mistake series, so if you guys have suggestions for future exercises you want me to cover please leave them down in the comment section below and if you haven’t already hit that thumbs up button, if you enjoyed the content and be sure to turn on video notifications, so you never miss a new video upload and as always guys more good stuff coming soon.

This 4-Minute Workout Is All You Need To Get Fit

According to science, if you work out really hard for just a short period of time, that’s just as good as kinda working out for a long period of time. If you’ve got five minutes here are five full-body exercises that we’re going to do on the street. Let’s try it out. Do you have any New Year’s resolutions? – I definitely want to work out. – Eat healthier, work out more. – Eat healthy? Work out more? – Party harder. – Party harder? All right. Four minutes on the clock.

Are you ready? – Yeah! – Yeah! Three, two, one. OK, we’re going to start with ten push-ups. Super easy, make two little V’s, and go all the way down, come back up, count them off. One! Two! – Three. – Four! Remember if you don’t have great upper body strength, you can do push-ups from your knees. That’s cool too. It just lowers the weight. Nine and ten. OK, now we’re going to keep that heart rate up. You’re going to finish out that first minute with jumping jacks. Keep that heart rate up, keep that body moving. – How do you feel right now? – Exhausted. – Tired already. – I failed my P.E. test. – I’m usually the type of guy to go for half-hour jogs with my wife. Now, I read about high-intensity interval training and I figured I’d make a video about it.

OK. Nope, fifteen more seconds of jumping jacks. Did you come dressed appropriately to work out? – You know, my ripped jeans are faring pretty well, actually. – You feel that? You feel the energy? You guys feeling it? – Yes. One minute down. Let’s do this! Up next, spider lunges. The way these work is you’re going to start in a plank position, then just like a spider, put one leg up, then jump back, then you gotta switch. Left leg! Right leg! All right? We’re going to do ten of those.

One, two… I’m a spider. Yeah, that’s it. Get those legs all the way up. Five, six. This works out your shoulders ’cause you gotta keep your arms steady, and it works out your whole lower body. – Oh my God. – Nine, ten. OK. Guess what? More jumping jacks. – OK. – Keep that heart rate up. Fitness, fitness, fitness. Wait, that’s Jingle Bell Rock. So whenever you’re not moving, whenever you’re not counting to ten, you’re going to round it out with some jumping jacks. – I’m regretting this.

– You got some sweat stains right there. – Do I? Oh, I was my shirt. – You ladies are working hard. I’m the instructor, though, so I get to sit down. These people were on the way to see a movie. Now they’re working out on the street. And, two minutes! Two minutes is up. Now it’s time for the third exercise. Next is ten jumping lunges. You’re going to do a standard lunge, dipping your knee down.

Don’t let your knee go in front of your toe, and then, boom! jump up, switch legs. Ten of those. Ready? One! Two! Three, four. Keep up now, five. – Oh, geez. – Eight, nine, ten. OK. And jumping jacks. – OK. – We got thirty more seconds. OK. You’ve only been working out for two minutes! Two minutes! Can you believe that? I’ve stayed on the toilet for longer than two minutes. – Once you start doing push-ups, I was like, “Oh no, I don’t think I can do this ” but then, I got into it and now I’m on a body high, I guess. – Oh my God. – Well, do you think you would do this at home? – Yeah, definitely. This is a lot of fun. It was quick, short, but really high intensity. It gave you what you needed, a good boost. – Three minutes up! Time to move on to the last exercise. All right, you start up, you go down, then you walk your hands out all the way to a plank position, then walk yourself back up. One! All right, that’s just one. OK. Ten more. Getting a little tired. Use your arms, your legs, your core muscles.

Dig deep, dig deep. Four minutes is almost up. Seven. Three more. You guys are slowing down on me. You got this. How do you feel? – Exhausted. – Clearly out of shape. – It could be worse. – I feel healthier already. Time to start doing this more. – You don’t have to go to the gym to do this, you can do this literally on the street. You got this…and ten! Street Workout! (all cheering) That took four minutes. Now for a twenty-minute workout, you do that five more times. Nothing should hold you back. If you want to be healthy, you can do it.
