Kettlebells For Life - 57 yro Workout Motivation 

Nice video! We (my 68 year old wife and I at next month 68) just discovered kettlebells about 4-5 months ago. Now we love them! We also do a 10 minute workout daily. We started smaller weights, she with 15#, me using 25# and now use 20# and 35# respectively. I'm about ready to move up again though. We also have added other short exercises throughout the day, though not everyday yet. Anyway, what we quickly discovered is that NEARLY ALL PAINS WE DID HAVE, HAVE LEFT! I have very bad knees for instance, near nothing since 1970 between the bones after surgery back then, and the other, in terrible shape too, but with our exercise, now I have no pain ever! BTW: we always hike many times every day through our nature preserve, across the creek, up and down some hills and varied woods, so we both always have been very active- just lots of pain too often. And yes, endurance is amazing now. Notice huge difference going up steep inclines and now we often "run around as kids to with our dogs". And strength, oh my, vast improvement for us both and as one kettlebell video fellow stated that these bells will not turn you into "Arnold", but they will turn you into "Greek God Statue Look", he is correct! Both our bodies are changing a lot! My wife is "getting ripped", using an outdated term. Also she (and she tells me I too) have changed to be "totally different in our intimacy, which we have always been "daily lovers" at least for the past 37 years together! In bed, I feel I am with An Amazon Woman Now" (and that isn't the Amazon you buy from --smile. Our flexibility also is greatly increased in every way too. We intend to keep it where we keep gaining, and changing and evolving (hmm, it goes with what we teach, guide and live, as we are writers, lecturers and very active cognitive neuroscientists) using the "bells", but never where we feel "any pain" or really stressing our bodies, in any way, other than pushing ourselves just a tiny bit, here and there. We never have and never will "try to impress anyone", other than maybe "that person in the mirror", as to be honest, no one is worthy of another having to, or even wanting to "impress anyone else"! (That is what is taught as children = make mommy and daddy adore you with ..." BUT that is where each person begins to grow not better, but worse, in mind, body and soul! Hence that is not what we teach and guide but For Everyone To Become Totally Empowered In Every Way, and Enabled in every way and "never needy" or lacking anything, ever. --- What we teach is "Having It All, Always" , just as we have always lived, and Having A Great "Pie Of Life", as with "any great pie": the proper ingredients, the proper amounts, mixed just right, baked at the right temp, for the right amount of time". If Not ALL THAT, then ONE SHITTY PIE (of life), and that is what most people have! (and most don't ever even realize that). We Literally UPGRADE THE BRAIN (re-wire, how it operates to a far higher level of being) and that included as said, the body as one with the mind as one with the soul and more. Nothing about any religion or cult, or anything one has ever read, but our 40+ years of active research using our many companies, businesses and doing/being "many professions" so we could always study, test and experiment with 100,000s of peoples from around the world in all real life situations and times. Hmm, funny but with the current world calamity taking place, this is our largest ever Real Life Laboratory where we now have about 7 billion subjects taking part in our studies! And sadly, all thus far have only proved all our theorems and findings (of human fault) true and factual! Damn and all this we could have prevented, just as divorces, bankruptcies, hate, war, suffering but "That Flaw We Discovered & Most Refuse to even dare admit, cannot be fixed just because of faulty ego and conditioned terribly REACTIONS to What We Know To Be True and To Simple "3 step exercises to FIX ALL ILLS WITHIN ONE SELF". -------Again, thanks for your video! Good luck to you! (and as we always say and mean: if we can ever be of help, just let us know! Thanks again!

I have 6,10,12,16 and 24kg kettlebells. For a great all body workout these really are probably the best bit of kit you can invest you’re money in. Fantastic for shredding weight as long as you do the exercises correctly. You really can’t go wrong 👍

I’ve never had the pleasure of working with kettlebells. I look forward to learning more from you about how they’re used. And at some point I’ll give them a try. Thanks again for your videos!

As always Mark, very inspiring. Keep up the great work .I dont think you know how many people you are helping.

I'm one of the kettlebell uninitiated, I'm afraid to say... But this is a great advert for me to try them! 😁 Stay safe brother! 💪🏻

I love the way you put things..."There's something about these cannon balls with handles...that feels like home " . There's more to exercise and working out than just physical. When you understand that, truly engrain that into your soul...then working out at 50...60...70 and beyond just makes perfect sense. You obviously get that. Thank you.....

One year later I subscribed again 😁 I do light kettlebell press ups for my front shoulder injury. Its the best you can do!

Kettlebells certainly are fantastic. During lockdown this year all I had was a pull-up bar, a skipping rope and two 20kg kettlebells. I was working out 6 days a week, since I had so much time on my hands. Have never felt as fit or as strong. It's nice to have more stuff, but all you REALLY need are a couple of KB's and your own body.

I just recieved my first pair of 12kg bells at age 60......I am totally immersed. Can't wait for you to share more KB videos. Thanks for the channel....for us geezers. I am humbled by your ability !!

Yes, can't wait for your kettlebell program!!

You are in great shape and very athletic especially for your Age.i added some of your exercises into my training schedule. I would personally recommend you to not drop the 50lb kettlebell into your stretched out tendons.Just saying it could cause injury overtime. Continue getting better in shape as the Ages go up. There is always something new to learn and to improve on. Keep it up👍

Cheers Mark great vid very inspiring, would love to see some workouts using these.

Great thanks Mark, always love your content, all the things I'm interested in only you do them much better. Much apreciate your posts on RU-vid.

Nice video brother in Colombia

Beautiful ❤️

Have you ever heard of an exercise called kettlebell clock stoppers? Seems like there's only 1 video of it on all of youtube and I'm the only person doing it, keep it coming.

👏👏👍💪 Thanks, needed the motivation!

Great motivation again mark ,have to get some of these,just getting over a bad case of flu,not the other 🦠 so need to get motivated again plenty vitamins and healthy foods,Bon waiting for a new video thanks ,🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏stay safe and well my friend will let you know how I get on 😅💯

Looking good boss! How's your torn ligament in your arm doing? All healed and complaint free? Or do you know when the weather is changing?

Very very motivating

Great stuff! Just getting into them myself. I've been doing calisthenics for years but feel like I have hit a wall..I think these bad boys will help me strength wise and iron out certain deficiencies (shoulder issues..). Question if you don't mind? You seem to be able to balance kettlebell workouts with bodyweight training. How so? Without burning out, is there a protocol you follow? Rest and recovery wise as well as frequency and volume? Anyways, very inspiring stuff :)

Hola 👋 saludos desde chile 🇨🇱 🤛 👊 excelente muy bien estado físico de cuantos kilos es la pesa rusa Chao
