Have been following you guys for a LONG time now. I cannot get enough of your content. Please please please stay awesome and keep it up. Hope to meet you guys at some point one day
And for all those who aren't a buff dude/dudette; just stay active. Stand while you work, take the stairs, walk the dog, use the bicycle for short journeys. We burn most of our calories just living out a regular, daily life but a sedentary lifestyle is the real enemy...
I'm 22 and I was skinny for my whole life, but guys like you helped me to find my passion in fitness and now I'm working on my body daily and even trying to become a fitness influencer cuz I wanna share my path with people and maybe inspire someone else
This is good stuff for those already in good, overall shape. For those of you who are not, start with just walking a mile a day. You'll be amazed how much better you feel after a month. Next, get into hiking your local trails with some elevation gains, preferably. It may take you a few months before you can get into following things in this video. If you try them right away, you'll give up without first basic, conditioning of your body. Get out there and walk!
This is absolutely true, This comment might help someone who's delusional and focused more on physical appearance rather than functionality! For 10 years nearly, being focused on weight, now i've restarted everything, gave myself a long proper break, and who to guess, recovered fully beyond imagination and all of the mentioned above are crucial! In your video testing the olympic lady training was mentioned the mobility! In the fitness industry it's called animal flow! Absolutely a must! Pure strength means nothing if you are not using it properly.. Awesome video, presented with knowledge and understanding! p.s. Few weeks ago i've a young boy 17 years of age, who was training outside with me, but he was going everyday for 2 hours doing whatever he had on mind, no structure, no plan, just pumping alone there until barely able to walk, lol! Ofcourse we had a talk and now everything seems in place, the guy chilled a bit. Cheers to everyone! Movement is health!
I'm 35 next week and I have been trying to better myself. Some of these I already did but it's great to confirm I was in the right track. I've told myself: if I can't run away, use stairs for several floors, carry someone at least my own size or lift myself up on a ledge, I'm a liability in an emergency.
if you really wanna feel better about yourself , go check out how you measure up against the average man. It was like a Men's Fitness magazine article. The average mans pull-up was 1. and bench press for a man in his 30s 1 rep max is 158 or something. I dont know if it was bs or not though and may be skewed.
@@MultiplexityGaming With those stats, I expect this is the average American. I imagine these stats must be very different depending on the country and culture. Regardless, I only compare myself to how I was in my 20s. Regular gym workout plus Muay Thai kick boxing 4 days a week for the most part. I don't aime to go back to that as it was insane and got me injured. But a healthy achievable fitness level like described in the video.
@@MultiplexityGaming Bad metric to compare yourself to. In an obstacle course, an example of a challenge created to make you excel, you jump over the tall hurdles and crawl under the short ones.
Cardio and strength training are hugely beneficial for pretty much everything; not just for physical fitness, but also for sleep quality, mood, concentration, memory, and so on.
I am 75 and believe if my husband had been a lot more active he would still be alive today. I like skill # 3, due to bad knees, and having those knees replaced, I will do that exercise as it would help me get up again if I fall. It would be beneficial to do a video for the senior population.
I've been lifting weights and doing pushups and pullups for over a decade now. I started doing yoga 2 months ago and I have to say it was the missing link to feeling young again. I had all kinds of back pains, shoulder pains, neck pains but doing yoga as easy, simple and useless as it looks actually made me feel like I can move freely without pain again. I've always thought of yoga as wishy washy bullshit but it really does something that most of the people training today are missing from their routine. But it also goes the other way around. The women that do yoga are lacking in strength training and they are just as stubborn about it as I was about yoga. Hope everyone finds the balance one day.
Thank you Buff Dudes. I like the knowledge conveyed but also the sense of humor at times throughout the video. Laughter is good medicine for the soul. Have a good one!
I'm glad you added that tip at the end!! I'm 50 and am the most physically capable person in my family. Despite being the eldest son...I'm the only one who works out regularly while everyone else in my family is on medications and c-paps!! A lot of your "Buff Dudes" audience probably are too and watch your channel to up their ante on workout tips. We really should do better on sending links to your videos to the people who need it the most!! (I'll start with my brothers and their kids.)
I have a suggestion for a video idea: Both the Anterior Oblique Sling and the Posterior Oblique sling. You can make an entire channel on this topic alone
Thank you for all your videos and useful content, I used it and I really saw its effect. For example, I did the Venom exercises that you taught for a week and I saw its effect, good luck.❤
26 here. Been dealing with lumbar stress fracture for about 3 years, and to this day, have not used that as an excuse to grow lazy and play the role of victim. I’m 240lbs strong, run miles in the mornings, and lift in the evening. It’s understandable some have it worse, but it’s all about adaptability.
I'm in my 60s, and ALL of these fitness skills are excellent. Except, maybe, those walking lunges with weights! Those would blow my knees out for sure!
There are very little excuses to be made. Most blame money or time, but I'm poor and get up an hour early to work out in my living room. My problem is that restricting calories lowers my mood, so I have to be careful with my mental health. Otherwise it's just a case of grinding through each day, but there are rewards to be had.
"7 fundamental skills, which are the building blocks of a healthy and capeable body." Notes: 1●Balance: e.g.: single leg stance, walking on a balance line 2●Running: e.g. alternating running & walking, high knees, running jump rope 3●Crawling: e.g. Bear Crawls, Inchworm(=walking into a push-up position from a standing-position and reverse) 4●Jumping: e.g. jumping squats, box jumps 5●Climbing: e.g. Pull-ups of various types 6●Lifting: e.g. Deadlift, Squats 7●Carrying: e.g. Farmers Walk, Walking Lunches "By mastering them you'll be prepared for almost anything life throws your way." -Some buff dude
Having just turned 40 recently, I wouldn't call it "a recent trend". When I was 20, people told me this was the peak of everything, it's all downhill from here. Late 20s, same with 30. Late 30s? "40 is when things start going to shit ". So far, they were wrong every time. Unless they stopped moving. Those skills sound like solid advice for every human 👍
Great video. I think only mobility is missing. Especially people who trained intensively at some point will become very stiff over time. If you keep Training under these circumstances you might end up injured. Especially shoulders but also hip flexibility when squatting alot is very important.
Everyone blames physical problems on being “old”, but in my opinion it’s really a matter of use it, or lose it. As we get older people tend to become more sedentary, which causes these physical effects to occur.
44 and I have learned that father time is undefeated but you just have to do what you can and learn that as you age , you are not what you once were.... It's a tough life lesson that takes some injuries to really learn
Your body has to be in good shape to get into good shape, however. Like the poor shape of feet or knees can jack up everything which causes a downward spiral. The more you try to improve the more injuries you get. I had perfect posture in the Navy, people even told me I sit up straighter than anyone they've ever seen. But I got a foot injury on a sensitive spot and the VA never wants to help me fix it. So I learned to walk on it to not cause pain which created knee problems, hip problems, back problems, and now neck problems. And even if I want to be a hard-charger I can't because pain always rears its head. Then it gets so bad I have to recover for 1-2 weeks. So if someone has feet issues they are limited. It sucks. Even biking can cause sharp pain in my foot. Some people just don't get a great quality of body parts and can only do what they can.
I like this advice. Few questions tho... How does a fat dude like me do explosive jumps without making my ankles explode? Also, bc I'm a nerd that sits at a computer, my wrists are kinda wimpy. How do I fix that? Lifting weights and doing any wrist intense things are difficult bc of my weak wrists. I see this as the first hurdle in order to open the gate to better weight lifting and weight loss.
"Men complaining about their declining physical skills" yeeeep. Im in my mid 30's now and everyone my age is acting like it's all over lol...and they all live unhealthy lives so no suprise there. Great vid as always dudes 💪
I'm 34, and 2 years into my first sedentary desk job. I need all of this more than ever, but I really don't know if I can do much of it at all, just standing up in the morning comes with pain in so many areas. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to get started regaining physical capability? I hate not being able to keep up with my daughter at the playground.
Sounds like you just need to start with walking. Seriously, you'll be AMAZED with the results, if you can go out for a mourning or after work walk. Just ease into things. Walk 1 mile a day, every day for 2 weeks. Then, see if you can double that up, with a morning and an after work walk for 2 miles a day, or just make it 2 miles a day before or after work but two walks would be best. Next, see where the nearing hiking trails are and find one with a good 2-3 mile loop and see if you can hike that every day, if it's not too far away, or at least find a trail to hike on the weekends, while you just walk around your neighborhood during the work week. Do this for a month and you'll be AMAZED at how much better you start feeling! Hopefully, you'll also gain an interest in backpacking and go out trail camping from time to time too. The weight and longer hikes, after a couple months, will push you into far better shape.
like the previous comment says, walking is a great place to start. just walk a little every day and increase it from week to week. you can add in core work later by doing planks if you are able or leg raises if they are more suitable for you. The balance tip in the video is good and the easiest to fit into your day. just do it while brushing your teeth. stand on 1 leg for the first minute, and the other leg for the second
im not a man anymore. im a walking corpse. i go to bed in pain every day, and i wake up in pain every day. my life officially ended 5 years ago when my back got destroyed by deadlifting.
Deadlifting is completely overrated. In the long run it does far more harm than good. A big reason is ego, always wanting to lift heavier. For life long strength and health there is no reason to go higher than 225.
@@idx1941 on paper it's a great exercise for general strength training, but 99% people are not training with competitive goals so they don't really need to develop it very far. some people can deadlift long term with zero issues, but that's because they have the leverages for it. if you don't, you might want to consider an elevated alternative, or a trap bar (which usually is elevated by a little bit anyways). ultimately, though, i think these lifts really have close to zero utility outside of the gym. i was able to deadlift 3 plates before any training at all, with training i got close to 6 plates. then i got hurt. the funny thing is that i was actually doing a low intensity workout that day, and i was working with about 70% of my 1RM. i thought i had good form, too. over the years i did try to rehab myself in many ways. now i've just basically given up, because nothing i ever yielded any positive results. i'm just trying to be careful and eat painkillers.
