when i broke my leg, i would literally dream of running and walking around. you dont realize how much you take for granted the ability that you can actually move around until you cant
Omg, I think everyone goes thru that, I broke one of my wrist bones but the doctors missed it, ie it was misdiagnosed as a bad sprain, so a 3 month recovery turned into a year long recovery with surgery, thought I was going to go insane
N ADAV it was in a baseball game, i was catching and a ball got past me so i ran back and picked it up and doce to tag a runner stealing home, i got him put but he ended up sliding right into my glove which popped my wrist in a funny way If u r worries ab hurting ur wrist, and im no professional or expert, try strengthening ur wrists and forearms or making a place for them in ur workouts, yeah it could still happen but strengthening the area can go a long way, and since u cant afford to get injured definitely dont go hardcore
@@quiv_loli9196 You gotta work yourself into it. Obviously you're not gonna be in the mood for exercise on every given day. On those days, I start with a long warm up. Start easy and slowly build up to higher intensity. For example, if I'm not in the mood for my run, I'll start off doing push-ups. "I'll just do these push-ups and see how I feel after that." Once you start getting blood pumping, it gets progressively easier to keep going. Get warm, get your heart-rate up, and you'll find continuing far less daunting than it seemed before you started. Even after that, some days I'm just really tight or sore. Don't be afraid to give yourself breaks when you need them, and especially don't push yourself harder than you can handle. Injuries suck and can stick with you for life. For me personally, I actually hate the feeling I get when I haven't worked out enough. My body just fills with energy and I start getting very fidgety and annoyed by everything. I also get much less sleep, which makes me less productive overall. If this continues for a week or so, I find my motivation to exercise evaporates, my productivity drops, and I fall into depressive moods. It's a slump that's hard to break out of, and the best way I've found is for someone to kick me up the ass and get me running again. Working out allows me to wind down and relax. Super calming. There is no better feeling than getting into bed and being completely spent.
I used to feel like this but truly feel like I have hit a plateau. Don't get that badass feeling after working out anymore because I always feel like i could've pushed myself harder (even though I am in the best shape of my life). Not sure how to fix this!
I don’t understand this claim that exercise makes you feel amazing afterwards. I’ve literally never once worked out and not felt like shit when I’m done.
@@markbalogh9655 If exercise made me feel good I'd do it. Simple as that, lol. If I got high from working out instead of feeling in pain and misery I'd be doing it all the time.
I spent years trying to coax my friends into the workout life. Eventually I gave up. Now we are all nearly 60. I am the only one with no sleep apnea, diabetes, bad back etc..
I don't understand how half of the comments in response to what you said were negative. Give it up you fucking doomers. Stop choking down those blackpills.
When I turned 30, I started running to fight anxiety and build self confidence. Nine years later, a duathlon, 5 marathons, 17 half marathons, 13 - 10Ks, and countless 5Ks, I can attest to putting in the time and energy to feel better. Sweat never hurt anyone.
Imagine a world filled with nothing but Joe Rogan's......C'mon bro. You don't lift. Why don't you love yourself? Smoke this bowl and clean your room, bruh. C'mon.
I sometimes agree with Rogan but this whole "Anyone who doesn't look like a professional athlete is lazy and doesn't love themselves" spiel he does from time to time is sooo irritating. Especially when he admits at least a part of it comes from his own vanity. And it also shows that he firmly believes that only one type of body can be attractive.
Too many people are like this except their life is a complete fuck up so you don't know if they are giving you advice off their own beats or leading you down into the piss with them.
I swear, I love joe but I’ve seen a new rise of pseudo intellectual “bro science” retards everywhere now. It kind of seems like they’re replacing the shitty “woke” movement we just went past lol
I am 66 and have worked out my entire life. I now live in a seniors building. Trust me, start young and never give up. When you're in your sixties, you be so happy you can't even imagine it now. But imagine feeling better at 65 than you did at 35? Some days you love it and others you'd rather take a beating. But it is the one thing you do in the world for just yourself. Joe, thank you for posting this!
As someone that's lifted weights, played sports, and been pretty active my entire life, I'm almost 40 and I have two knee reconstructions to look forward to, almost certainly a hip, and it's probably 50/50 on the carpal tunnel surgery at this point. Be glad you ended up relatively unscathed. There's plenty of guys like me that have always made it a priority and unfortunately we just got a shit roll of the dice. I can barely kneel down to the floor to pick up my babies. And coming back up? I'm basically internally begging the tendons in my knees to not snap and give me just one more day. Feeling better 25 years than I do now? Maybe if I'm dead. But your advice is still good. It's also important to note Joe is a super wealthy guy with access to shit a lot of us aren't. Including MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS. If only we could all be so lucky.
@@joenobody5913 are you stupid. Performance enhancing drugs STEROIDS will shorten your life. FACTS. Your comment shows what an idiot you are. Please get off the internet and go read books.
@@joenobody5913 It is impossible to evaluate your situation without knowing all the facts. Perhaps you did it too extreme or with bad form. I can relate with you in the fact that I am certainly not feeling better now (49 years old) than 15 years ago. The only way to feel better when you are older is if you were unhealthy in your younger years and then started to work out. All the best with your surgeries.
Yup! I tell others, that the way I feel before or going into a workout has NO bearing on how the workout is going to go. There's no rhyme or reason, every scenario has happened: feel great going but have a terrible workout with no energy, & I've had times that I'm exhausted, queazy, almost don't go & then when you start it's like magic, & you just come to life. & a lot of days you feel bad, have a bad workout, feel good have a good workout, & everything in between. There's no telling, For me anyway.
When you're out of shape, the first dozen workouts are brutal. No redeeming qualities at all. It's tough to get over that hump and start feeling good about working out
Disagree. It's all brutal. No matter how many times you go, no matter how hard you try to form that habit and get over the hump...it always sucks. I have been trying to get into exercise for years. Swimming, Crossfit, normal big box gym, biking, running, basketball, boxing etc. Nothing has ever stuck. And I don't mean I tried it for a week and gave up, I mean months and months of trying to form a habit and all of it failed. I did Crossfit four times a week for a year. I never felt like I was getting stronger, I never felt like I was gaining ground. It always felt pointless and mind-numbing work. Six months worth of boxing...meh. Two years of big box gym. Half a dozen workout apps...tried it all. I tried different mindsets; I am doing it for health. I am doing it to look good. I am doing it because I am bored so why not. Nothing stuck. I just...don't understand how people get into it. 😟
@@mbogucki1 dunno what to tell you. Maybe you're going too hard, or maybe per Sxmi diet may be a factor. For me it's running I enjoy, particularly when I can get out on the trails. Do some body weight stuff only because I have to, to improve the running. 🏃 Everyone is different. All the best to you
@@mbogucki1 If you can get yourself mentally addicted on the next big weight or distance that usually worked for me I was addicted to improve, as far as not making progress perhaps varying cardio intervals very fast/long distance slowish/quick 1.5 miles average speed etc. I dunno if you've already tried this though..
@@samuelking4723 with you, I got tired of the cheesy poetry, reading too hard in between the lines, being forced to read shit that bored the hell out of me, I find it hard to read a ton of books that don't involve history in them. I generally just don't like reading any books though for that exact reason.
When I was in 10th grade I dropped 30 pounds that summer, literally my entire life changed, rooms always clean, school work always done on time and well, and Im just happier.
I had the exact same experience. In addition to the benefits you mentioned, I gained a ton of confidence in social situations. Especially at that early of an age, becoming healthy truly puts your life on a better path
The amount of people who don’t know that exercise gives endorphins and helps cope w anxiety and depression that’s what gets me through and gives me confidence to know I can handle the shit
How did 103 people actually like Emo Kid's comment? That "comment" is the biggest mess of incoherence I have seen all month. It doesn't even have any meaning! Just as you start to think he's going to say something, he derails the comment with some completely unrelated mumbo jumbo. Are you all high? What the hell is going on?
Humans need to work out because when your 80 and 90 years old, you'll still feel young and able to run. If you dont work out than you'll be in a wheel chair, can't walk or laying in bed for the rest of your life. So work out!
after getting over an addiction, working out was the perfect replacement for that need that my body has to constantly search for endorphins all the time. Truly saved my life. And I love this podcast because it's true, I hardly EVER want to do it. just gotta do it man!
Glad you got things together. I have heard of exercise to overcome addiction before. Think Duff McKaggen did a similar thing according to his autobiography. Change comes from within so your why has to be powerful to get you to make such a big change. So good for you.
@@gm2407 thank you so much yeah a good friend suggested it to me.. I’m not sure where he got it from but it helped me . I’m grateful for your kind words!
Very true! On the other hand, you can trick yourself, and you can start with 2 push ups or walking (slowly) around the block for 5 minutes, and then you started, and you just keep going. Next time try for 3 push ups or walking slowly for 6 minutes. I know it sounds dumb, but if you have motivational problems like me, it actually works! :)
They say teens need 1 hour of exercise and it is the most boring fucking thing to walk on the tread climber even with headphones like I don’t have that time because of homework and orchestra practice and I will most likely fall asleep after and never get my homework done
No that’s straight bull your associating exercise with something negative when you find an exercise that you enjoy like a sport you can’t wait to do it again
Has anyone else worked out so much you stopped feeling that desire to be lazy? Like working out has become so routine you no longer have to talk yourself into it?
I've been training since 2006 and yes there are days I don't want to do it. But it gets done. Human beings, life, progress none of it is linear - there's struggle and challenges, always. Sure, it sucks but without that resistance success would never feel so invigorating and empowering.
I dont think I'm at that point but I'm at the point where I feel lazy as hell if I dont, it's like not showering or brushing your teeth for a day. Now i just do it so i feel like I'm a normal functioning person
@@mattsmith9465 well said, this is what I'm talking about and I appreciate your clarification. I've been training for decades, still have days I don't want to do it and it gets done any way bc of my commitment. It's a personal investment - ESPECIALLY yoga, so when I'm old AF I'm not all immobile/feeble AS.
@@jonfernandez8027your absolutely right about yoga I would recommend it to everyone, iv been working out regularly since about 19 and I'm going to be 29 in 3 months there will always be days when you dont want to do it but I look at that as excersise for your mind/will power and I think it is as important for you as lifting weights or going for a run. The way I see it we are body and mind and each of those things requires upkeep and maintenance and like you said in your comment it's about aging well and keeping a good quality of life for as long as possible
Cory McCracken I mean it was in response to him bringing up old trees being in your yard. It’s not really a flex if it has something to do with the conversation and is actually interesting. He didn’t sound very boastful anyway lmao
Or after a year of working out, looking back you realize how weak you were lol. Been working out for 7 years now and I can't believe how freaking weak I was lol
I started a week ago, the sore muscles are killing me, but it's a feel good kind of pain, and everyone at the gym is nice and helpful, i'm 24 and i keep asking myself, why i didn't do this earlier.
When you feel the soreness that’s the best feeling because that mean changes are coming you are about to have a transition. Soreness means you are working hard , you are moving you are in the right direction.
The reason it's so hard for people to exercise is because our technology has removed any survival need to use our bodies outside of manual labour work. Our bodies are designed for living in the wild running, climbing trees and hunting where our bodies were always being used the way they're supposed to and so exercise was just a natural byproduct of our day to day life but when our environment no longer requires much physical exertion it's very difficult for a lot of people to find the motivation to do it
100% so many people don't realize working out was forever a part of daily life in survival/hard labor. With our new lives we need to hit the gym otherwise you can expect problems.
What’s your routine bruh? I’ve just been on a caloric deficit and lost weight, but I’m afraid it might not be fat that’s getting shredded from my body.
Im pretty consistent but i skip the gym here and there. It’s wierd cause i always feel great every time I’m finished so it’s so dumb that I ever want to skip.
Being fat is unhealthy, people who are naturally skinny though aren't. More and more data points to slower metabolism leading to a longer lifespan. (this is true for all bacterias and animals, and is key to why leading researchers in age prolonging are pointing to eating only once a day and no snacks in between.) The truth is, most people who lived over 100 years are slim, the Japanese village with the longest average life span is full of skinny people, almost no buff guys. Speeding up your metabolism might be leading you to shorter life (if you're not fat).
Working out is great and all but there is nothing more annoying and shallow than fitness freaks who think everyone should have the same priorities as them.
I can think of one thing more annoying; people who don't make fitness a priority that treat fit people a certain way, as if we're treating you differently when all we're doing is existing in your presence. Like we can't even talk about fitness without those people being uncomfortable and thinking we're being "shallow". Most of us don't care what you do, but we don't wanna hear your rationalizations either.
@@Brickswol It depends what you mean by "talk about fitness" I suppose. Nobody cares about your diet or routine or bench numbers except your buddies at the gym and I've known some people who seem to take offense that nobody is interested.
hate working out, never felt good working out.. the only good thing i felt from doing this is relief because i was done with it for the day. not everyone get the euphoria.. i sure as hell didnt. I get that working out is good fr the body which is why i do it but i hate every second of it which makes it very hard to push through everytime
Will Smith said you have to tell the little man/voice in your head to shut up! That voice in your head will talk you out of some of the best things in life for you because it's too hard!
The human brain is originally hardwired to keep you out of danger and and take the easy/familiar way. Got to take control of your mind , not the opposite.
I am 17 and i have been obese(tbh probably even fat) my whole life, but now i can gladly say that weightlifting has changed my life forever. As 2019 is coming to an end i have dropped 40lbs throughout the year (and still going), and i really hope to see my abs the next year for the first time of my life. Just as Joe said i found a personal palace in the gym that no one can break into and interrupt my peace. I have learned so much throughout this year about my body, nutrition and training, and hope i will soon succeed in my mission to be in the best shape of my life.
It is literally use it or lose it. The reality is the older you get, the more difficult it becomes, but the more necessary it becomes. When you're young, working on flexibility is somewhat uncomfortable, but for older people it's painful to regain lost range of motion. Getting old is humbling to. My old warmup weights are now my workout weights. Oh well.
Just don't give up and on ur good days try to push past a limit. Don't lose sight of beating ur past self just because ur older. There is only EVER going to be one of you.
The gym saved my life. I stopped and got into drugs really bad and couldn’t figure out how to get sober and stay sober and I realized I was missing the gym and go back into it... 6 months of sobriety later I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long long time. Just try it I promise it works if you go into the gym open minded and willing to learn
Kevin Burrow so your experience with working out is in a gym. You can get fit by hiking, running, cycling, swimming, rock climbing and not step foot in testosterone filled weight rooms.
A sedentary lifestyle combined with bad eating habits is deadly. The human body needs movement and exercise to properly function. The worst sitting position is the same one.
@@j0an-07-arc6 I had a coworker who was an overweight chain smoker who had your attitude. Then one day he realized he would probably not live long enough to see his grandkids grow up, stopped smoking and now goes on long and intense bike rides.
Eric van Bezooijen you just can’t compare someone’s experience to another I’m a underweight guy and I’m pretty young working out gives me stress and worsens my anxiety I have enough trouble as it is it makes me feel like shit and I’m not a very motivated guy
The embarrassment I faced when I couldn’t do a pull-up/push up in fitness class pushed me to take my physical health seriously, and I’m glad that’s what it took because I feel so much better
@@wanilimbe I was about say that. Even at my strongest and most fit, I could do a ton of pushups and sit-ups, but hardly any pullups. Pullups are more about body weight than strength.
Definitely dont be embrassed by not being able to do a pull up either. Pull ups are actually very hard for most people who dont regularly do strength exercises
I've been in that place too. When I was thinking about exercising , I thought I couldn't do it because I couldn't do a single pushup. Then, my friend told me and encouraged me to exercise even if it's a single pushup but just keep going every day and challenge your self . I started with literally zero and worked my way up until I reached 40 consecutive push ups in three months of just doing it everyday . After that I started lifting weights and now I can bench 220 and I'm way better than I started
I hated running, I kept cramping up and my legs kept telling me to stop. But I ran as much as I could for about a month because I was motivated to improve. I'm currently in my second month of running and I've seen a major improvement in my cardio and my ability to go long distances without a break. The human body is fascinating and its a shame most people aren't willing to explore their limits.
Honestly, running is the worst. I used to run as well and I absolutely hated it, and it honestly put me off exercising for a bit. Just like you, I would feel my chest hurting, my legs cramping, and I just felt in constant pain from it. That is until I discovered weight lifting, which is something that, while still difficult and physically taxing, came to me much more naturally. In terms of mastering the right form and posture and managing weights. I realized that I don't have a runner's body, I have a weight lifter's body. My body isn't lean and agile, its large and stocky. Much more conducive to weight lifting than running. If you're having trouble running, or if anyone else is, I recommend trying other exercises like weight lifting, and vice versa of course.
I was jogging 3 miles 5 times a week Sit ups,push ups,calasteniks,and had a perfect diet going last August then something bad happened I was hospitalized with a bowel obstruction I Almost died Now I'm ready to get back in my program and get into shape I wanna thank you for posting these videos they are an excellent resource I weighed 212lbs this morning Down from 452 in 2007
Sorry but sure you’d have time to work out whenever you can if you don’t have an actual job. Some of us out here work 2 maybe 3 jobs, not mention some also have kids so no it’s not a “lazy” or even a “silly” thing
I always visualize Goku training in the gravity chamber. His body so tired that he could collapse at any moment, but still he keeps fighting on. And when he steps on to the battlefield all the hard work pays off.
You have to put in the work! I was feeling the same way, but now I'm super pissed, yelling at the computer screen, and am about to start 5 angry blogs simultaneously! Thanks Joe Rogan! Also, fuck you Joe Rogan!
If you know that you'll feel good after and you've done it hundreds of times and still 5 out of 10 times you have to force it, then it's not thaaaat good. I'll keep being lazy, thanks. You know what I don't need to force myself to do? To read a book with a cup of coffee. I don't need to think "stop being a bitch and go pick up a book" that I'd need to read 30 pages off until finally "this feels good" Joe goes "I love exercise!" So, go do it. "Okay, I will, but just because I'm not lazy! I don't want to do it. I love it. But I don't want to do it. But I'll force myself! I'm no quitter!"
I'm a huge advocate for working out and general fitness and I don't think that part of what he says was a very good point. The thing that I DID agree with though is what he said at the very beginning about taking care of your meat vehicle, because you only have one. Taking care of your body by building muscle, increasing endurance, and of course eating healthy as well, will improve EVERY other aspect of your life. You'll wake up with more energy, not get tired as easily, performing day to day tasks demand less effort, there's a level of security you feel knowing you're more able bodied to handle certain situations in case danger arise. Life overall just FEELS better. When I get sick with the flu or something, I feel terrible because I can compare it to how I normally feel when I'm well. But because I had been sedentary and inactive for most my life, and I had never really taken my fitness seriously, I never knew what I was missing out on. My sedentary body was all I ever had to compare anything to so to me, that level of energy was what I thought was "normal". It wasn't until I finally started taking my fitness seriously that I realized what I was missing out on this whole time. Just from feeling better, feeling more confident, and having more energy, it's vastly improved my quality of work in almost every other aspect of my life. Of course it's not WRONG to not work out. I don't think EVERYONE needs to work out or else they're silly like Joe is saying. I just thought that his arguments weren't really any good and wanted to offer another perspective on it. We're all free to choose what we do.
@@jemand8462 That's not what is meant by this quote buddy. Sure, you have to keep working very hard. Getting that mentality is hard, but keeping it is a little bit easier. The idea is that if you push for something every day, then it will be easier to stay determined.
Do a really good chest and arms workout and once the soreness sets in, gets really high and lay in bed in the dark and massage your sore muscles. Feels so fucking good
Not everyone can afford a TRT "THERAPY " and a growth hormone , go to work , play with kids , pay mortgage make sure there is food on the table .

Body is like a car... Fine tune that vehicle. Clean it. Keep it running. Been working out everyday for 5 years now.. I'll never ever ever stop. I started for the physical, stayed for the mental.
@@Lavender34124 You can. You can't become more intelligent, but you surely can engage in activity that mantain your brain "young". And you surely can improve your knowledge.
I don't know why it's silly. Im miserable at the gym. I'm so bored and I feel like I'm dying the whole time. Feeling like I'm going to die and out of breath for 1-2 hrs is silly.
It's not fun. I do it because I care about my health and what I look like. I am prepared to go through discomfort and sometimes pain for that. If you're not then either find the motivation to do so or I don't
This time last year I was 238 pounds and now I'm 203 pounds. Doing an hour of cardio four days a week changed my physical and mental health for the better.
People that still believe this existence has a purpose. Seriously, repeating dumb movements for x number of times is so ducking stupid I can't believe is an actual thing humans spend so much time on.
The pump feels like cumming, i like looking good and beating people in arm wrestling. Just because life doesn't have a purpose doesn't mean you should just play around
do something you enjoy, could be rope jumping or start with walking and enjoy a audiobook. later on you will start to exercise way more and in many other different ways
I feel like most people who don't want to work out are really just depressed people who don't want to move around or be around other people. Cleaning your home and yourself, eating properly, taking care of your body these are all basic needs that are not being met if one is seriously depressed.
@@spendsshanks6050 so home and body hygiene, eating healthy and good food instead of garbage each day and making sure you're strong and fit which subsequently helps your mindset and overall mood is edgy? Like I said, 1 year ago I wouldve categorized it as edgy, right now I see the true values in aforementioned things. They are actually very much needed and super beneficial. I hope you will realize that once as well my man, it's actually enlightning to say the least.
Wow !! I think you just hit that nail square on its' head ! My thing is not cleaning my home and not being able to break free of my hoarding tendencies, but I never connected that with depression.
When you forego opportunity and then complain that it was never there, it's hard to get sympathy. I know good people who have the resources to make steps towards accomplishing their dreams, but just decide the price is too high to pay and conclude it's easier to complain. Like I said, they're good people. I just can't figure them out.
As someone who only recently started exercising regularly, what stopped me was how huge and insurmountable the concept of working out was to me. Once I realized I was supposed to prioritize form and consistency and simply doing what I can. Putting my ego aside and lifting light. Gradually increasing weights as time goes on. Never thought I'd be in a position where I *enjoy* working out.
Working out is not just lifting weights. You can jog, run, and play sports- working out is just anything that increases your heart rate because of the physical activity that one performs. Or do I have it all wrong? When it comes to those types of workouts, form doesnt really matter because everyone performs differently.
My top 5 for keeping it simple 1) 20hr fast daily 2) Brisk 6-8 mile walk early AM Mon-Sat 3) Lift heavy shit 3x per week 4) Run hill sprints 3x per week 5) Use every Sun to catch up on sleep. **This has let me keep visible abs and a decent physique for over 20 years. Just turned 40 and still kill it like I did in high school. 👍
Here's my top 69 for keeping it random: 1) eat when I'm hungry 2) drink when I'm dry 3) slow walk to the corner store to buy some chips and soda 4) never lift anything over 10 pounds 5) sleep whenever possible 6-69) smoke weed
I tried to force myself to eat healthy and workout when I went to college. I dropped from 270 to 185. I had abs. I could run farther than ever before. Girls seemed happier to talk to me. I was miserable though. After a couple years I gave up, focused more on my mental. After that was in check, I didnt just start working out again, but I was actually happy about it. I focus more on a balanced diet than abs now. Make sure youre working out for the right reasons... not for girls and abs... but for yourself. I really dont believe in forcing yourself to workout. You have to believe in working out and really want to do it.
"balanced" diet huh? So you use scales to figure out what food is healthful and what isn't? Anybody that talks about diet and "nutrients and "balanced diets" is a huge red flag for "i have no idea what i am talking about and im parroting what someone else said and i didn't.do my due diligence to make sure it was objectively accurate advice before i adopted the advice."
@@relaxingaudioforchillongou488 ??? I just eat my broccoli more and order pizza less its not that serious dude. Trust me, im no nutrition expert and I wont give anybody advice on what they should eat.
I've seen the difference healthy choices make. A 40 year old on a scooter, overweight and with an oxygen tank. A couple in their 70s still climbing mountains. Some comes down to genetics, but you can fight bad genetics with good choices. The one aspect I haven't seen mentioned is the effect it has on your family. If you make the choice to smoke, they will watch you choke to death on your own fluids the last few miserable years of your life. Choose hamburgers and Netflix over a healthy meal and a walk around the block? They get to do CPR on you in the kitchen then follow the ambulance crying and praying you're not going to die from your 1st (2nd 3rd) heart attack. If you can't get off your ass for yourself, imagine what your bad choices are going to do to your spouse, kids, siblings down the road. Do it for them.
Couldn't agree more. Here in Arkansas morbid obesity is the norm more than it isn't. It's amazing if someone's body is smashed in a car wreck, ambulances fire and police show up ready to give assistance. But if somebody is wearing an extra 200 pounds of fluid and fat, it's taboo to show concern by initiating a conversation about it. Then you look at their kids, and see they are well on their way to having a 20 year shorter lifespan as well. It's negligent at best, probably criminal if you honestly evaluate the real life effects.
People here also overlook the fact that working out stimulates the brain in some odd ways, so odd that it is even linked to major decrease in the risk of developing Alzheimer's, and also a decrease in brain shrinkage as you age (meaning a better memory). After seeing my grandma die from Alzheimer's, I did all the reading I could to find out how to prevent myself and loved ones from developing this horrible disease.

@@jimmyastley Not overly dramatic at all - I wish it were! 11 years in a health related field has let me see many examples of how life choices affect health, and how those health issues affect loved ones. Real world drama is worse than anything I can come up with. 😉
@@Kelly_Ben It's a little overdramatic if you keep in mind the difference between a choice and an addiction (like cigarettes, fastfood, drugs,...,). Its easy to say people can choose for a healthy lifestyle but it isn't. (i'm sorry if my english isn't pronounced well, i'm from Belgium)
I started running and lifting 22 years ago to quit smoking when my second daughter was born, and have inspired my wife to work out along the way. She became a Zumba instructor and now works out other people. It's like a domino effect. Love it!!!
Yeah have lost years off you life more than likely. Probably constantly overtrained and you don't even know it with chronic inflammation. You think ur healthy, but there is a plenty long list of athlete's that died of heart issues, strokes, cardiovascular failure and more.
@@iwontreplybacklol7481 The majority of people who do moderate exercise and watch what they eat are much healthier, and live longer than those who lead a sedentary lifestyle and eat junk. Those athletes you mention have either enlarged hearts and haven't wound down their exercise regime gradually after retirement, or they have been taking roids. There is something called visceral fat, which causes inflammation around your major organs. Having a healthy weight through diet and exercise is strongly associated with REDUCED inflammation. You should really stop listening to McDonald's propaganda 🤫
@@iwontreplybacklol7481 Okay I want to make sure you know I'm not calling you stupid because you don't what you're talking about I'm calling you stupid because you're talking about something that you know nothing about and think your opinion has any weight. The only crime here he's committed is doing cardio and lifting weights.
I'm going to disagree, to be fair. For some like me, Other pass times are just far more interesting. I walked for 2 hours regularly, and I'm still completely fine, without being fat at all.
@@malikmarez1407 You completely missed the point. The point is, that with minimal exercise, I was covered due to my metabolism. It also alludes to the fact that there are other things you can be doing with your time, rather than wasting your time attempting to perfect your finite body, and that you don't have to go full narcissist just to be fit. Use your noggin, if you can that is.
@@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG Imagine thinking that because you walk for 2 hours, you can consider yourself fit. How delusional. And also 2 hours walking? Those 2 hours could be put to way more use than just walking lol. It’s laziness is what it is
There was a Mathematician that trained at my BJJ school. If you exercise your IQ will not go down. It actually creates brain cells and helps blood pump into your mind more effectively. Exercise can only help.
Ash Carst :: 👍 I’ve read the journals on this one. They can in fact be created. I didn’t want to get into a whole argument with Anthony on this, since he seems like a nice guy. But here it is: “Previous research has found that aerobic exercise generates more neurons than resistance training. Now, a study in the April 1, 2016, Journal of Physiology suggests that sustained, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking, swimming, or other similar activity might create an even greater response.” (Harvard Health, www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/can-you-grow-new-brain-cells)
@@relaxingaudioforchillongou488 Cool shaming attempt bro. Be the change you want to see in the world, no one gives a shit about anon's opinions when they haven't earned that regard either.
Id say when the thought came up he was wanting to say about 4 out of 10 times he wants to do it, which sounds realistic, and maybe felt the need to cut it down the middle last second? Lolol
It's boring. It's SOOOOOOOO BORING. So many more interesting things to do. In prehistoric days we did interesting things to keep us healthy, hunting, foraging, building, etc... Running on a treadmill or biking in the heat of Phoenix AZ is HORRIBLE and boring AF. Honesty I'd bike it a lot in Oregon or Washington, beautiful there, but dirt, death and sun? No thanks. I'm good.
