Training for LIFE! 

This dude changed my life, no fancy edits or shitty tech music just clear consice info ❤️

"No one makes it out alive." That's not alarming, that's liberating. Great stuff as always Kyle. Short, sweet, and valuable

"to maximise the time I have with the people I care about" you hit the nail on the head here. To me NOT exercising is extremely selfish, you are shortening your life, worsening your health outcomes and at the end of the day, you are an example to your children, you should do everything in your power to ensure that they have everything they need in life, a good example of how to live should be principle among them.

I'm a former track & field athlete, jumper/sprinter. Just turned 42. I'm a 5 year survivor of a stage IV cancer Lance Armstrong style. I've had my right nut cut off, my head cut open twice to remove masses, gamma radiation was beamed across the back of my skull and I was poised nearly to death by toxic chemo drugs. Upon discharge from the hospital, I weighed 140lbs at 6' and got winded walking up a flight of stairs. I'm up to 163lbs, 10-12% BF, I can do 13 very strict pull ups, and when I'm out road biking I burn past teenagers. So I don't want to hear your bullshit excuses. The best advice I can give regarding training as you age is you have to train smarter. Listen to your body, it will tell you what you can and can't do. The progressive overload should be very gradual. Setting goals is nice, but trying to achieve a 500lb bench and all that stuff shouldn't be a priority anymore. Staying overall healthy and just feeling good should be the primary goal from here to the end.

Spot on. My Grandad was 97 when he died and still digging his own garden, his healthspan matched his lifespan and then he just expired. He didn't get to 60 and then live miserably for 37 years stuck to a chair with an oxygen tank taking 20 pills every morning. His training was tending a massive garden all day, every day. Take a look around when you go for a walk, how many people do you see who are lean, muscular and healthy. We are basically living in an environment that we weren't designed for, eating foods we weren't designed to eat. Thanks for another great video, the message is very clear.

The GOAT himself has uploaded, today is going to be a good day

“When the end comes I wanna know I did everything I could to maximize the time I have with the people I care about” , there it is. Thanks!

I worked out this morning using your push/pull/legs approach. Been doing this the last few months and I have never been that consistent before. Focus on good form keeps up the progress. I am 35 years old, have a lovely wife and 2 wonderful daughters - and a challenging job on top. But still your knowledge helped me managing all of this while staying fit. This video is so on point. Makes me wanna workout one more time today :D thanks for all the wisdom you’re sharing ;) greetings from Berlin!

Finally i achieved my first pullup today, all thanks to you.

Your videos are inspiring. I turn 61 in 17 days. On January 1, I weighed 239 at 6’ 1.” I changed my diet to Keto and within a week I was eating One Meal A Day (OMAD). I added consistent exercise in June. I just weighed in and I am now 198. I am walking 7 miles, 4 times per week and I am doing simple body weight exercises to lay a foundation to eventually build the strength to have robust exercise sessions like you demonstrate. As I have progressed, my doctor has taken me off 3 blood pressure medicines, long-term Nexium use, Adderall and two depression meds. I have also stopped taking Aleve every morning for debilitating joint pain in my hands…the pain is gone. I am more encouraged now than ever and pray I will have the discipline to continue “Training for Life”

I'm 60 y/o, thanks for discussing how aging effects our physical development and how to manage as we age. More of this. Thanks again

This is it! Right here! Training is a way of life, a lifestyle and not a means to an end! Thanks for your dedication!

Great message man, I love this philosophy. In my early 20s I was scared of the prospect of turning 30 (lol imagine that), but now that I am actually 30, I realized that fear was unwarranted as I'm currently the fittest I've ever been in my life, fitter than I ever was in my 20s. Keep doing what you're doing man, you're an inspiration to us all.

You’ve slowly become one of my favourite creators on the channel, now because of these videos on top of the Jocko Willink podcast I’ve began to do callisthenics every morning, it’s taken my Jiu Jitsu to new levels and the videos never disappoints or try to sell me anything, top tier content

"Of all the self-fulfilling prophecies in our culture, the assumption that aging means decline and poor health is probably the deadliest." - Marilyn Ferguson At 67 I still runs marathons and ultras, climb rocks and noodle a bit on my bike and push and pull myself around. The key is that I started when I was 15 and I never stopped. I love your approach, your simplicity and your attitude. Thanks!

So simply said, no crazy transitions or anything. Just easy to follow along for literally anyone. So well spoken

63 years old here. What he said is right on point!

It is not only about "maximizing the time you have" but also "maximizing the healthy time you have". Living 25 or 60 healthy years is a huge difference. You can't help your loved ones if you are the one needing help.

2:21 "but you still have to try" . Couldn't agree more.

I'm 34 and started working out 8 months ago for the first time in my life thinking it was all over. My body has been building muscle like crazy. Never thought it would be possible. I'm really glad I started and kept going at it.

Thanks for this, man! Words to live by, with a strong message at the end! 👊

would love to see you on the FitnessFaQs Podcast, an exchange of knowledge between you and Daniel would be extremely educational. Great Video as always K

Thanks for the update, Mr. Boges. Always inspirational.

I love how straight to the point you are and how you share your wisdom

I can never get to the new kboges videos fast enough. Clear concise information on how to maximize health. Not extreme performance or something else out of reach for the majority of the population. Thank you Kboges, top tier content.

Hi. I hope you’re having a good day! I just wanted to say your content is definitely appreciated. I learned the “horse stance” because of YOU. At first I could only hold it for 17sec (haha) but I have definitely made huge improvements at it (49secs now). Thank you for the good quality info in all your videos!

Gotta love how the videos on this channel are so concise and straight to the point!

250k... Really happy to see your channel growing. Such a good point about maximising our time with the people we care about. Thanks for your new video, Kyle!

I've so much respect for you Mr. Boges! My workout routine improved so much because of your videos. And I completely agree with this video, instead of achieving some goal in 30 days or few weeks.. we should focus on training for life and overall general health. Good muscular body will be achieved sooner or later either way. Love your content!

Hey, I remember commenting a few years ago when you had a few hundred subs not to change. The content's still gold, and I'm glad to see how many people you've won over with it. Keep it up x

I love your channel. Concise, no crap, saying it how it is with fantastic, achievable advice for everyone. So good. Well done, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the short videos. They pack so much in and I always remember them. I've learnt also that I don't have to be perfect. I just have to keep going.

I subscribed about a month ago because I liked the signal to noise ratio (very high) and the workouts really matched where my life has taken me. I'm almost 70, I survived a "widowmaker" heart attack at 64. I bounced back to set personal bests on my Concept 2 rowing machine and started doing triathlon races and winning the 50 and over group a number of times. Last fall I was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma which was a death sentence 10 years ago, but now is treatable. I decided that this year was the year to forget the racing and concentrate on staying alive. Do the cancer treatments, eat well and work on my overall fitness and well being. Simple calisthenics are working to add some muscle to my upper body and make me feel great. I've been blessed with some good genetics (other than my fair skin) and I've never struggled with my weight. I love my exercise time now, I hit it hard, I'm improving and I don't get injured. If I continue to be lucky I'll get 10-15 years of good physical health and if the cancer gets me then I'll still be happy to get as far as I can.

Really needed this, you always motivate me. Only tough part of my journey is getting the diet in check

My man, you are an inspiration to me. Video after video you are delivering value that is worth returning to over and over. Just hope you have a great 2023!

Well done Kyle! I echo the sentiments so many have shared about this video and your comments. Thank you for sharing this today. Outstanding!!

needed this! I am recovering from a pulled muscle and impinged shoulder from judo and I had second thoughts on training over all. We don't play because we grow old, we grow old because we don't play.

So true , I’m 56 and in the best shape of my adult life , 6’1 195 lbs 34 waist pants all home Calisthenics and kettle bells , pull-ups,push-ups and of course yoga . I do need to focus more on my food , that’s next project starting today

Once again thank you for your videos, I really enjoy how down to earth and humble you are

Thank you for being clear, concise and truthful with your content. It is so refreshing to hear and motivating because it corresponds to reality. I appreciate it!

Seeing Kyle upload makes my day

KB, I’m 50 years old, and though I’ve always been above average in terms of fitness/activity, I’ve also always been self-judgmental about my relative skinny-ness. Inspired by your keep-it-simple videos, I was able to design a program that finally stuck, and I have kept a daily exercise program (with daily record-keeping) for the last six months, which is a lifetime personal best in terms of length and consistency. Even better, I have added 15 pounds of muscle (now 160lbs @ 6-feet) and even with the added mass, my rep count in push, pull, and squats is also at a lifetime high. In other words, at 50 years old, I’m more massive and physically stronger than I have ever been in my life. I get a lot of credit for doing the work, but you get a lot of credit for the life-changing inspiration, philosophy, and program design. In contrast to the cacophony of ‘get fit quick’ content on the web, my personal mantra has been: “How *slowly* can I get fit?” I ask myself this constantly. The result is a simple and humble program that, paradoxically, got me fitter than I’ve ever been, and in just months, after decades of false starts. For those interested, here’s my program, a four-day cycle: Day 1: Single set* of push (push-ups) Day 2: Single set of legs (standard squats) Day 3: Single set of pull (pull- or chin-ups) Day 4: Rest** day (no sets allowed!) After a couple months, I was getting more capable joints and muscles, so I upgraded to: Day 1: Three sets push, one set legs, one set pull (4 minute rest between all) Day 2: Three sets legs, one set push, one set pull Day 3: Three sets pull, one set legs, one set push Day 4: Rest day (no sets allowed!) Important Notes: *Set = anything between 1 rep and reps-to-failure. Most days, I go to failure or just short of it. Some days, if I’m feeling low, I do ONE REP and call it a day (sometimes at 11:59pm). But - and this is critical - that COUNTS. It’s still on program for getting fit ‘as slowly as possible!’ **Rest day: I typically do some light movement, maybe walking 1-3 miles, or a dance class or both. Critically, reps and sets are NOT ALLOWED. It is this restraint that has kept me yearning to come back for the next 4 day cycle, rather than burning out. Rest day is the most important day of the program. And it’s perfectly on program with getting fit “as slowly as possible.” Push: Started with push-ups, now on some days I opt for dips or declined push-ups. Pull: Pull-ups or chin-ups, whatever I feel like. Legs: Started with basic squats, now on some days I do squat-to-jumps. Minimum baseline: I should say that I also am conscious about my diet (drink only water, eat real food, low carbs, high protein, little sugar), and on most days I walk 1-3 miles, or maybe a bike ride. Also, I do 5-10 minutes of joint warm-up and active stretching before any rep session. Thanks dude, literally wouldn’t have done it without you.

Thanks for this post Kyle.... so much respect for you!! 🕉

These 3-5 minute to the point videos are great to learn from. Keep it going!

Everything you put out is gold. Very well said!! Thanks for your videos and content.

Thank you for the videos. Appreciate the simple, clear and concise message and knowledge you bring with the reasoning behind it.

Simple and straight to the point. Yet so very deep. Thank you man.

Man I love your channel more and more each time I watch. I like your style and philosophy.

I’m 51 and the older I get the more this makes sense. Spent all day today at a water park with my 14 year old and his buddies. We had a blast. To be able to have days like today is the reason I train and mind my diet.

Always a pleasure to see an upload from you. Thanks for the great content!

Hey dude. Just popping in like many of the commenters here. Really appreciate your short and sweet videos. I've taken a lot from them and have started my own program based off your advice. It's liberating! Keep it up. Cheers.

I've been enjoying your content a lot. I used to do barbell training, was injured/ couldn't balance it with physical work, and fell off hard years ago. Now I've got a kid and no time/ cash for the gym at the moment, and your stuff gave me the push to stop using that as an excuse to get more and more out of shape. After only a month I feel better than I have in ages, and your content definitely pushed me in the right direction. Thanks!

The best thing about your channel is the genuine interest in your viewers. No wonder this channel is growing so fast. Great job!

Always a good day when you upload, Mr Boges. Keep it up!

Kyle, your words must be set in stone. High-value truths to keep in mind. Thanks for sharing your wisdom alongside your methods. Greetings from Brazil.

I really appreciate your content and get so much support while watching you act on what you preach. Also I started your free course on making my first pull-up a month ago combined with OMAD and it works great for me for the moment. I feel my body composition changing and also I do see first results on my max reps while doing rowing sets. Can't wait to brag about it more in few months, hopefully with better results. Again thanks K boges!

With 40 fast approaching, your channel has been the inspiration to train for LIFE! Only week two but already loving the feeling of working out each day. Thanks mate!

This was the most beautiful, motivating, realistic message anyone could get right now.

This is one of your best videos IMO. Powerful words worth a repeat listen.

Dude, I love your content! Please keep posting!

You really hit the nail in this video. Thank you a lot for sharing all these things Kyle !

So on point, as usual. Keep up the great work Kyle! 💪

What makes Mr. Boges exceptional are contents like this. Other Fitness Content Creators do not even talk about this side of fitness. Thank you, Mr. Boges for sharing your knowledge. You deserve more and I know they'll come.

Brother I can't be more happy to find your channel, at 50 years old former boxer I try to keep in fit and healthy when my nephew asked to do his "research" on RU-vid first thing came to my mind is your channel, keep up the excellent work you are doing simply as you do it and excellent explanation, respect from Greece brother 👏👏👏🇬🇷(forgive me my English is not that good!!!)

Hey man. At 26 and after many years of being a lazy bum I came across you as well as others in the calisthenics world, and I'm down for it. I've only just started but I'm already doing dead hangs and progressive pushes, pulls, dips as well as squats and other leg work. It's killing me but this is just the start. I'm using muscles I didn't even know I had, so thank you. I've watched a lot of your videos and it's everything I needed, I will absolutely be back. So thank you again.

!!!!!!! I love all of your videos and messages, KBoges. I am 45, and have managed to work my way back from some wretched injuries, and now I'm doing things that were previously filed under "Those days are long gone". And I just finished my second week of your "How to increase your max pullup". Last week I accumulated 100 pullups, and this week 116. Holy smokes, that's insane volume for me. So I'm just gonna to keep going. One of the things that has resonated with me so much is your perspective or attitude on the relationship between training and living (and I'd say general well-being). At the heart of everything about my training, I am thinking about how it increases my body's capacity to do work, and how it becomes more tolerant to what the world may throw at me, and what I ask out of myself. And all of this is so I can be here longer, and do more cool, interesting stuff along the way. Thank you for all of your amazing content. I'm betting that a lot of people are finding your videos to be incredibly useful. ~ Michael

So refreshing man, thanks!

Love the video! I’m turning 43, and still doing more pull-ups and outrunning 25 year olds. Great message and love your content, keep it up!

This really resonates, especially the 10-year horizon. Because I recently decided that, as I approach my 60th birthday, I'm going to be in better shape when I'm 70 than when I'm 60. For most of my life, I never would have conceived of or believed in that. But thanks to channels like yours, I now know that how we age is a choice.

An Upload on my birthday from a man who changed my view on health&fitness even tough I am training for over a decade. Thank you !

39 this year, stopped playing football (soccer) because of a wrist lig- tear but still surfing and working out. cant say that about the rest of my family members and friends who quit sport and the reason behind that was "im 30 now so getting old". i thought good luck dying then, distanced my self from that mentality and life's great. hats off to you for passing sound knowledge. you're doing a very good thing here with these short videos. all prayers and blessing to you my brother. your channel rocks.

Another brilliant tell it like it is video. Well said as always Sir. As a 55 year old guy I appreciate your frankness.

I like the way you present your knowledge in a way that’s applicable to all people rather than targeting a niche in fitness. Exercise is physiological hygiene.keep up the great work

When kyle boges says it, it just sounds better. Thank u for changing the trajectory of my life with all your videos!!!

So powerful message!

Great video as always. Safety followed by efficacy of exercises are very important to me. At 21, my left elbow still has discomfort from doing muscle ups 2 years prior. Watching your videos helped me drop the ego and learn to be content with basic movements.

One life changing feature that I discovered long ago is that you don’t need a gym to stay fit. And your channel continues to emphasize that fact and help so many people escape the “gym trap”. Keep up the great work and motivation. Thanks always for passing along your passion to others. You are a great person Mr K!

Beautifully said mate!!!

Thank you for making me love working out again. It is simple and easy to consistently do. I've come to realize with your videos that having the dream physique is not the main goal of working out. its to be healthy, the great physique just come along with it. When I watched your videos I worked out again to just be healthy and not think about the aesthetic shit I wanted before. But then my body just gotten better looking without me even trying. I got more compliments from people that I look good and this time I didn't even try and I enjoyed the process. Everyone created this idea that when working out you need to go to the gym, work your ass off, count your calories etc. but not everyone would enjoy such thing, and I believe working out should be for everyone. Some people just wants things to be simple and thank you for being that youtuber. reintroducing to us and reminding us that working out is simple. You've become a channel we can go to proving that working out should be simple, fun, not time consuming and inexpensive, while still being very effective. So with that thank you again you will forever be part of who I am right now.

I loooove this guys videos. So simple yet so brilliant 🤩

Love this man. PERFECT. Thank you.

Thank you for your videos!, I'm 53 and have been working on my flexibility, staying in a deep squat for long periods of time also long walks and am currently doing kettlebells and body weight exercises while also cutting weight. Your videos really inspire me to slow the pace and just master body control and good form. Still can't do a pull up but am very close thanks to your content. Again thanks for all your hard work!

Another incredibly insightful and concise video. I’m 51 and what you said rings true. People at my age say, “I don’t have time” or “my metabolism is slow because of my age.” As always, your observations about achieving wellness (at any age) are precisely and wisely articulated. 🙂👍

Kboges, can’t thank you enough for the content. You’ve changed me approach to working out and fitness entirely. Your approach aligns with my goals perfectly and as a working dad of 4, this style is completely maintainable on a consistent basis. Thank you sir for your hard work and providing this content. One question, what type of pull-up bar do you have for outside? I’ve had a bar outside before and after PA winters it got real gnarly.

This is the motivation that everyone needs

Being 37 now, after decades of Bodybuilding TPs which never fitted my lifestyle (I do a lot of outdoor sports), I finally found your simple approach to keep me in shape. I don’t even count reps, I just keep everything slow with a high TUT and train near failure. Definitely one of the best (most honest) fitness channels.

Subscriber count climbing high, man. Congrats. Keep the good stuff coming!!

Wow, this video was much more than what I anticipated for

I don't think I know any channel where the comments are so positive. It's so great to scroll through and see all the lives you're changing

Thanks coach. Wise words. Hit me at the right time.

I couldn't agree more with everything you said. All the best.

This is exactly why I train. Not just my personal health but to maximize my time with my loved ones. Train everyday is the key to life

Amen! All jokes aside. You are so right. Great advice again, Kyle! Can´t tell how glad I am for finding your channel.

And as always, great video man.

Truer words were never spoken. Well said Kyle.

Needed to hear this. Awesome. Thanks

This is absolutely the truth. My grandfather in Puerto Rico is now in his 70s, but he works out in the field all day, and maintains crazy muscle for his age. His forearms and back are super ripped and he’s very lively for 70. He and my grandmother even conceived in their 50s which is unbelievable.

Solid and to the point. Thanks Brotha

honestly a legend man, im only 20 but started properly working out this year (in part thanks to you). I see exercise, more importantly weightlifting to be something I do everyday (everyweek) for the rest of my life, as long as I am able. We also need more people like you who properly state the facts and get straight to the point in videos!

Incredibly important message. Thank you.
