After the million RU-vid videos I’ve watched, can’t say I’ve ever been instructed to pound the dislike button. I like your style sir. Very informative, clear and easy to understand video btw. Thank you very much
Thanks Nicholas, I also watch a lot of RU-vid videos, and the first sentence usually includes "subscribe and like this video", so I figured I would try something a little different. Thanks for the feedback and great to hear the video helped you out.
Simple and direct to the point, and great advices, also in the answers to the comments. So very needed in a world of glittery blabbering videos I saw around. Thank you so much!
The first video I’ve seen where you actually explain the why and don’t just tell people what to do without reason. I find it hard to trust people on here about exercise but you know what you’re talking about!
Ikr, I've watched wAyyY too many videos where they don't explain not even half as good as he does, not to mention he even gives us examples of the exercises and what the routine during the week would look like.
Thank you SO MUCH! I have ADHD and I get frustrated by the amount of information about exercising and beginning to do it, and it usually doesn't move forward because I get info overload and start hating how complicated it is immediately. And most of the videos recommend 5-6 days of workout to people who NEVER been to gym before, and using complicated terms and workout names, and I find it ridiculous. Your video is so motivating in it's simplicity that in over a year of very scattered attempts of training I finally don't feel overwhelmed and actually start to enjoy the gym and exercising a lot!
Girl your comment is literally me. Today and every day. I was about to save these on watch later and move on with my week until I watched this last one.
This is me 100%. I was searching for “how to start strength training with ADHD” and I would only find stuff saying how great strength training is for treating ADHD … well DUH thank you but I still don’t know what to do 😂
I've been working out for decades and watch most vids out there on the subject. But this minimalist no bull approach vid is more than its weight in gold. Solid video, quality stuff. God Bless!
Hello Malinda, typically 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps for each exercise, but when starting out you can do only 2 sets and build up to 3 sets over time as you get stronger, if that works better for you.
I still don't feel able to create such a plan for myself that I know will be perfect for me. BUT, your advice, video style, explanations and so forth were of such a nature I can only applaud you and say; Well done, and thank you.
ive scoured RU-vid to find just a single simple video to explain how I should work out all muscle groups, simply as someone who wants to maintain good fitness (not bodybuilder). everyones getting into some complicated rep science, but you sir have given me all I needed, quick and clear no bs. thank you.
I made my body transformation. I was able to lost 15lbs for only one month and finally started feeling healthy. I took plan from *Next Level Diet* and followed their tips. Thank you #*Next Level Diet*
This video is so helpful! I'm sick and tired of these buffed dudes starting off with their "beginners" training without proper explanation of the do's and don'ts. They never discuss how body types vary and diets will never be the same. They act like we can all go to the gym and really care about "bulking" up with supplements. I'm Hispanic and I'm already naturally bulky. I need workout routines that are about being lean and fit, not about getting a dorito body.
Thank you for this! I was so done with unnecessary introductions, “like share subscribe” requests in the beginning of the videos. Ugh! But this is good! 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks for this amazing video! With fitness videos being so saturated and long these days, you are doing gods work by making these kind of videos straight to the point, without any bullshit information!
Hey! I used to do bodyweight exercises before like push-up and pull ups and now I'm starting gym I'm going to start with push pull legs routine will that be good also I wanted to know if could play football on Sundays with friends after working out legs on Saturday
You can, but, you may want to decrease the intensity of the exercises you do on leg day. Just listen to your body, if you are super sore after the 2 days of back to back leg sessions, you may want to switch up which day you are doing strength training for your legs.
I got my diet plan from *Agoge Diet* and lost 2kg in just 10 days. So far, so good. Can't wait to see numbers on scale after 20 more days. I am so excited about this.
Thank you so much!! 😄 I really struggled with making a consistent work-out schedule many times before and would quit. I didn't know how to manage my time to work-out but now I'll try to follow your guide! I have a question, I have 2 weighted jump ropes and they give almost a full body workout since it targets more muscles than a regular jump rope. Could I just use these for my workouts? Or do you recommend different work-outs every week? I will include some flexibility workouts as well in my schedule
The biggest factor is just being consistent at working out, so the jump ropes will be great. I would say that doing another form of cardio and strength training would also be beneficial to do from time to time.
You dont need that many exercises ... most people just want to get fit and get a more athletic body .... you are making things way too complicated, you dont need to be doing half this shit guys .... always warm up, squat, do kettlebell swings and do a pressing movement and some rows and eat well ... boom
Hello, I really appreciate your videos, and it has given me somewhere to start from when I go back to the gym. I was just wondering, does dance count as cardio? Can I use it as cardio and also on my active rest days?
Yes, actually I think dance is a great form of cardio, it elevates your heart rate, but it also requires multi-directional movement and balance and coordination. So, keep at it.
great video, thankyou. When doing weights should you have a break between sets or is it straight onto the next thing in the routine. example: bicep curls then 1 minute break then onto tricep extensions. cheers. Edit: ok the answer is in your video. this is by far the easiest video to understand.
this is actually called a superset. A superset is where u take 2 exercise (should be an isolation exercise) and you perform the 1st one and without any rest, perform the second exercise. This is a technique used to save time. You can also do this for bicep curls and tricep extension. For example, you do your set on dumbbell curls, and then you immediately perform the tricep extension. After tricep extension, you rest and then you repeat the dumbell curl+tricep extension until you reach the perscribed amount of reps and sets for the exercises
Thank you for mentioning the one day on - two days off for beginners. So many of these videos jump into intermediate to expert level working out and planning. Beginners have to just get into the habit to start with.
This video is packed with great info that I need to get (re)started. I am over 50 and want to start strength training. I searched for videos to get me started but am now having to stop because of elbow and knee pain. Wish I found this video first.
This was SO helpful. Thank you!! So for the beginning phase where we work out two days a week, should we be doing full body workouts for these two days? Or should we also consider a plan of splitting up upper and lower body workouts like we do in the maintenance phase?
It may be a little bit more beneficial to do full body workouts when starting out, for the first couple of weeks. This way you are hitting all the areas of your body twice a week, but this is not a must.
Thanks this really helped I’m 14 and I’ve been doing calisthenics for the past few months but I was just using other people workouts from RU-vid and compromising some excersises as I didn’t have the equipment but now I’m gonna make my own
How about a plan like this what do you think about it? Start from Saturday Saturday- Workout Sunday- Active Rest Or Cardio Monday-Workout Tuesday-Active Rest Or Cardio Wednesday-Active Rest Or Cardio Thursday-Workout Friday- Active Rest Or Cardio Repeat. This plan consists of three workout day. Please tell me what do you think about this plan.
That sounds great Work lion, I would say to just make sure you are hitting all areas of your body (arms, legs, chest, back, and core) at least once a week. Also make sure your nutrition is solid, get good quality sleep and you are on point my friend. Now, go get it!
Love this! Very simple, straight to the point and great advice! Had to do this for school and I got full marks thanks to you and your advice! Thank you so much ✌🏻✌🏻
I’m 16 years old I’m 300pounds soon to be in football and I want to do option 2 with lower body and upper body i like the exercises your doing but will it work also add in other exercises? And how many sets should I do to reach an 1hr of working out. Hope this make sense
Hey Mc Fuji, I think you have to do what works best for you, so, I would say to try out option 2, and add in some light cardio at the beginning and slowly progress with both strength training and the cardio. Do that routine for about 4 to 6 weeks and see how you feel and gauge your progress. After that, you can make some changes if needed. As far as losing weight, you really need to focus on food intake, not over eating, and making sure you are getting nutrient rich foods. But the biggest key to any fitness routine or even weight loss routine is being consistent. You have to be committed, no skipping workouts, and really changing your eating habits. If you are going to play sports, which I think is awesome, you have to invest in your body, and you mind. Now, go get 'em!
After spending the last 2 years devoted to running outside (to keep socially distanced), I ran a marathon a month ago, pulled my IT band, and am getting back into the gym for a full body workout. Great advice! I especially like that you recommend using different planes and directions of movement, something long distance running ignores! Greeting from the Chicago area!
Well during this qurantine one may get easily messed with tons of channels ,but your video has covered all the aspects ,not concentrating on unnecessary stuff ,and has quality content,after watching this video I got all the information I need for working out😊
I still got one question, I've heard that you should workout by movements e.g. push, pull, squats etc. But here you said to workout by major muscle groups. Which advice should I follow and what di I do?
This video was great! It taught and explained a lot more information than videos of the same subject matter that are 3 times as long as this one. Thank you so much!
Will the full body workout help me put on muscle Bc I’m skinny and im hoping if I stick to the full body workout that you showed help me put on muscle. Will it ?
Hey F.C Pranks! RzK, yes, the workout in this video can help you put on muscle, actually most strength training workouts will do that. The key to gaining muscle is to be patient, and be consistent. You have to commit to doing strength training on a regular basis. It also does take time, so if you want to put on muscle and see significant changes to your body in just 3 weeks, not going to happen. Give yourself 3 months of doing regular and consistent strength training sessions and make sure as you are getting stronger you are increasing the weights, or doing more reps (more volume), or changing up the routines to hit your body differently. You can do it my friend, you just have to put in the time and the hard work.
@@f.cpranksrzk5845 i recommend Stronglifts 5x5 and Starting Strength 3x5, great strength training programs. Just look it up on the internet. They are also designed specifically for beginners. Just make sure to learn all of the exercises and do them with proper form.
Silly Me I have actually already started working out ever since I saw this video. I have seen great gains and have increased my weight with a caloric surplus. I have strength and hypertrophy days and it’s really been working. But thx for your advice!!
My goodness! Brilliant!! Love the simplicity. Too good, will be looking forward follow up videos (if it's not there) to build my workout 😄 Thanks again!
