I’m an old broad, and I am determined to become stronger. I find your videos inspirational & filled with practical tips on taking care of our bodies. I enjoy seeing the friendship with you guys & really appreciate your effort & passion in producing these videos for all of us. Thank you.

Damn! I love the way you're changing the concept of fitness! This is so much fun, I mean, it's outdoors, it's free and overall it reminds me of a kid playing, exploring their surroundings, experiencing their body, being curious and open to more and more fun :D our body is a perfect masterpiece! So much love and support from Portugal! :)

Getting a dog helped me a ton with moving more. Now I'm going on a walk of at least 40 min every morning before breakfast and every night after dinner. And of course, outside of that, our dog is awesome.

I eat low carb, and do IF with the occational 40 fast, and it is great! Wednesday I went out on a solo wildcamp trip, walked 10 miles with 30 pounds on my back. Slept by a river, in a tent, and walked back home yesterday. Getting out in nature is amazing, and heals your soul😊 You preach my lifestyle Josh, -I love it! Keep it coming!💃🇧🇻👋😊

I fractured 7 vertebrae, eight yrs. ago, and am fully disabled. Now, I have lost 25+ lbs., working out slowly but surely, all in the attempt to go backpacking again. Used to be an avid backpacker and all-around outdoorsman. I miss it more than I miss getting laid, lol.

I like how this guy likes to be athletic more than being huge and unathletic

Started fasting then realized that i've never felt hunger thats when you know you need to change up. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Completely spot on with the intermittent fasting…I am 53 and lean, and didn’t fast from sleep until noon for many years thinking it was a diet, I just wasn’t hungry in the mornings. Most often, I’d have some coffee, tea or water and go about my day, and eat sometime between 11am and 1pm. I just wasn’t hungry. If I eat in the morning now, it may be a banana for the potassium and a few calories.

Intermittent fasting makes eating more enjoyable i noticed. Not only do I look forward to it more but I eat slower and more consciously.

Love the vibe y’all have. Backpacking is dope - it’s the way I feel most like “myself.” You guys really know how to max the fun factor!

Love watching you guys, your tips for better health and your adventures. At 75, I like to follow a lot of your healthy habits making them work for my age. Don’t forget us 75 y.o. on your videos, thanks!

Love that you do the things you love together, family and friends are simply the best company....thanks for sharing. I am paying it forward! as always

If you want to get rid of those last few pounds, two or three weeks hiking through the mountains is a great option. Unlike most other forms of exercise it can be sustained for 12 hours a day, and the calorie burn in steep terrain is awesome. It's actually hard to keep the weight on when you tackle a long hike - so losing it is no problem. Of course it's wasted effort if you don't have a sustainable maintenance routine ready to go for when you get home, but while I was transitioning from obese to lean, backpacking played a useful role.

Love, love, love you guys! Thank you for making these videos, good vibes and inspiration. You keep me motivated and discovering new mobility within myself at 50!

Wonderful feeling sharing your outdoor adventure with you, loved it. Made me want to stay fit forever so that I can always go goof around out in the backcountry. I am inspired, thank you.

What can I say, dude, love your page! Your clips are motivating and the routines fit well into the day.

I've been saying this for a long time. I'm 46 and have been lean/strong my whole life. I'm not a gym rat, not that I mind the gym. But I fast regularly and most days I'm snowboarding, bouldering, rock climbing, hiking, paddleboarding, mountain biking. Yeah, I do take care not to eat too much junk but for the most part staying lean is on autopilot just because of my lifestyle. Keep up the good work geting this message out there!

LOVE intermittent fasting. I would like to add that for a woman it is definitely a different experience. Not to be done everyday, always. Instead maybe 1-2 weeks a month for when the menstrual cycle rolls around, time to nourish. When I forget this and intermittent fast a week outside of my cycle, I definitely notice a massive difference in my emotional stability. Something to ponder.

Love your videos!!! Great inspiration and very well made. Thank you.

I like this video because it talks about being active without doing Hardcore workouts. Sometimes the body just needs to have fun. Thank you for sharing the insight guys.

One thing I did to lose weight without any weight training or cardio and even diet is going to therapy. All I did is I started therapy and I lost some weight. Maybe it’s just me but hopefully it will work for someone else.

Love you guys. This is the kind of life I secretly love. Just finished practicing my trumpet. Going in the house to crawl around the floor.

If you have a hole in your heart, then you subconsciously compensate or fill it with food or other things outside. Self-love, self-acceptance and, if necessary, therapy are the keys to being happy on all levels of being. Love from Germany.

Loved ALL of this!! Thank you.. the camping/hiking part was beautiful! I had some deep thoughts watching this.. especially in regards to myself and how I interact with the world around me. I am so grateful to you for this!! 😌🙏🏽💖

Camping with good friends, shrooms, tons of exploration... that's what I call a good weekend.

Loved this video. Got some good hiking in and had a great time with friends! Keep it up!

Really glad I found you guys … you’re stretching exercises are awesome

Amazing content. You guys are such a vibe!

This resonates with me so much. This is what it seems like how humans should utilize what we are capable of while being conscious of the experience. Fitness not out of vanity, but because its just so much better to function in every aspect of life with optimal an optimal body.

Good stuff! Great to see y'all having some fun with different video formats. Enjoyed this one!

Loved it, Thanks guys! Makes me feel positive and happy to go backpacking soon. Love the silliness!!

This is greatly appreciated, excellent advice!

Levelling up... more of these please guys 🙏 inspired me to move and to love, for sure ❤

I thoroughly enjoyed going on yall's adventure (although from the comfort of my home!) Love your videos so keep 'em coming! Hugs from Louisiana!

Watched a few of your RU-vid shorts and this was the first video. Lots of good nuggets here. Love this lifestyle with intermittent fasting, movement snacks, backpacking/hiking and cold water dips. Also see that you're wearing barefoot shoes, even for hiking. I started wearing them too...they seem like a game changer for foot and ankle strength and mobility. Subbed on here and IG

I love your guys mentality so much. Its always energizing to watch and learn.

Gotta love how two grown men enjoyed the morning just jumping around. lol We need more of this in the world

It's awesome seeing you do Parkour dude! It's such an awesome avenue to encourage people to move around!

The vibe you guys have is wonderful. I'm not much of a hiking person but I will incorporate it more. Good job.

This video is making me feel pumped. It's also encouraging to see that I'm not the only wild ape-man fascinated with movement and how to better connect and appreciate the body in all its functions. Thanks for that! :)

Motivated me to do that damn backpacking stuff in new zealand during my three months stay 2023 and reminded me to do another hike soon here in germany :D thanks guys

This is my kinda life.....makes me feel rejuvenated, exciting and refreshing.

Great Tips! Love how they are all easy to do, there is no need to go all out. Much love, keep up the work!

Loved it! Great job as always 🙌🏻

awesome video, loved how you weaved your tips in with awsome footage of you living the sweet life

Love this video, love the ideas. Love the attitude and energy. Subscribed.

What a fun group of guys. Such good vibes coming from all of you even when times got tough…. Hahaha that burnt shoe!! Love it.

Man your videos are fantasticccccccc, the way you see fitness as a wholeistic thing is great. Keep up the great work!

I like how these guys choose to be authentic about the work and trial-and-error that goes into what they do instead of just presenting a polished front.

Made my morning, cheers guys

Always fun and interesting. Thanks for posting!

Always watching this guy with a smile on my face, good vibes on this channel and comments. Keep it up 🤙✌

love fasting!! I have a 6 hr eating window between noon and 6pm. 6 mile walk with my dogs 3 days a week, hiit exercises 10min.5 days a week and your stretching follow alongs most days. 😀

I like the authentic approach you guys add to fitness with natural living

Just discovered you guys and already love your content and vibes!! Keep it up, and thanks for the tips :) ❤️ Lookin good 💪

I love this so much. I've been going through a very thought time lately and watching your videos is helping my emotions and attitude. I started today with the morning stretching but i want to mimic your vibes and more. Thank you for being part of this lifestyle and sharing it with the world.

Hey guys awesome tips! And this vid is enjoyable to watch! especially on the hiking part and made me realize it's mportant to be close to nature.

Yo this was so invigorating!!! Love the energy in this!!!

Looks like a lot of fun. It's awesome that you have such a good relationship with your brothers. Family is so important.

Excellent advice and having a good time while your staying in shape, even better.

Excellent advice. Love the vibes!

Your videos give me so much joy and inspiration!… these incredible nature adventures and outdoor play places illustrate the feelings of deep satisfaction that a movement centered lifestyle elicits! Gratitude for you both!!

Awesome! Watching this totally made me want to be out hiking and camping and cooking in nature. The best!

Just found your channel and after watching the backpacking portion of your video I subscribed and hit the like button WOOHOO!!! When I was in my teens I used to backpack in Yosemite National Park as often as I could. The back country is incredible and actually makes up 90% of the park. You’re at elevations of 6,000ft-9,000ft and you definitely feel it because your home is at around 100ft elevation lol. My buddy’s and I would go long trekking for 10 days, 15 days, 21 days and just love every minute of it. Fishing for trout in a lake that’s 8,500 ft elevation is so awesome that words can’t describe it. Get up before dawn so you can climb up a giant granite peak and watch the sun rise. Its rays shooting straight across Nevada and landing on your feet. You turn around to see those rays make their way across the granite peaks and shoot out over the central valley of California all the way to San Fransisco. You’re standing on one of the highest peaks in all of the Sierra Nevada Mts You can see into 2 states at the same time and they have two completely different weather patterns most days. Dry very low humidity air sliding across the vast openness of Nevada. Meanwhile the central valley of California at that time of year is covered with a thick moist layer of fog as far as the eye can see. If you were to drop down under the fog you would find that it’s hanging at about 200-300ft above the ground. Underneath it’s like a dull grey blanket just hanging there with light from the sun making the fog glow like a fluorescent light fixture. People start to get bouts of depression from not seeing the sky or sun for 30,40, even 60 days some year’s. Yet all they have to do is drive up into the foothills to about 3,000 ft elevation which puts them above the fog and into full sun and beautiful blue sky. Great memories even when the bear stole all our food one night lol. Mama bear and two cubs working as a team lol Cheers all

Very cool thanks dude! Channel is going up up and away!

I love what you do with this precious moment on this planet called life. Your awareness of that experience resonates with my YES, inner love and appreciation of that moment. Love to you all and keep sharing that love with us all ;)

Thanks for the inspiration! I was doing IF, cold showers and such but then I got sick and I removed all stressors...I've gained a lot of weight, and am recovering from back problems. No backpacking yet, but it's my goal :)

So so wholesome. Loved it!

I loved this vlog so much. I love seeing these guys connecting with their body and nature and god. And you are all hilarious I laughed along through the whole thing :) This glimpse into your adventure gives me my soul tribe backpacking trip vibes- cold plunging cracking jokes doing breathwork Qi gong meditating and cooking absolute quality meals. Love you guys!!! Thanks for sharing this awesome vid :)

I just have to say, I am SOO GLAD I found this channel, you guys are so freakin awesome!!! I love your workouts, your way of life, your fur baby (poncho) I think that’s what you said ( 🤞) thank you for the life advice and please PLEASE keep making more and more videos, I’m a beginner myself at working out and I struggle really hard to just get moving, that’s why I love your videos cause your workouts are not very crazy but they still get the job done

Very inspiring! I loved the humor .... and the ease in facing the challenges. Certainly the togetherness is the best part of it! I wanna get lean NOW ... haha!

Dope video guys! Love your approach to physical activity. So much healthier

Never tried backpacking before, getting more into hiking though. This video is making me seriously consider trying out a backpacking trip soon. Your guys content is great, keep it up dudes

Great job making these ideas easy to digest.

Very cool! In both the awesome and cold sense 😂 The experience looks so invigorating though. Makes me want to find a group of friends to go adventuring with! I hope the trip filled your hearts and souls with life! ❤

An inspirational video. Its motivated me to get out more too. Love your videos and energy Brother. Keep up the great content.

I love you man. You give us unusual ways that actually make people enjoy the workouts way more than some traditional crap. Thanks man!!! Good luck

Beautiful video man. I enjoyed it.

Amazing. And loved the backpacking video! Just moved to CO and that looks amazing, so maybe that’s a goal now 😁

Awesome video 🤘🏻

Great to see Boulder again. I lived right next to that building for 2 years when I went to university there. Thanks for the memory flashback.

Dang, Such a great video 😍 It made me so happy to see you incredible humans having so much fun. So inspiring, loved it.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks

Much needed content bro thanks

I have tried some fasting and maybe need to revisit that again.I actually don't eat right away anyway.I have a spiritual practice I do and some chores I do before eating and I usually eat light in the morning. I love camping and hiking and i do a lot of moving landscaping, doing tree work and working out, so I move a lot. I have recovered from shoulder surgery and had some leg issues and I am back at it. I had to do this gradually but I have made tons of progress. I lost a lot of weight since recovery, I hated not moving and being so limited by my injury. Now that I am recovered nearly 100% I plan to start to bike again. I went from 174 to my present 154. I am learner and stronger. You guy have great attitudes. I loved when I lived in Colorado. Thank for the inspiration today!

Oh no dude didn't you just get those Xeros pretty recently too?? I always love when you guys are on together. Your relationship and how you play and grow from each other is so joyful to watch.

Very entertaining, fun and informative. Well done.

great video! subbed!

Loved your video! Thank you! Love to you from India! Parkour at it's best with you and your brother at Strength Side. Your videos are fun and inspiring.

Great content and advice. Thank you 👍.

Welcome to Colorado Gents!!! Happy to see u got to experience a small piece of this beautiful outside playground!!!

Loved the video :) thanks guys

Really glad I found your videos, spiritually received. I'm doing the morning stretch regularly now and follow a lot of your tips. Introduced your video to my wife and she does some of your stretching too. We're both over 60 so thank you for keeping it simple and primal. 🙉 even practicing your floor rolls. My tip for wet shoes, put heated rocks from your camp fire in em for drying, works really well. 😉
