    I left Uni at 160 pounds fit as a fiddle, after a few years of work I ballooned to about 230 pounds. At Uni, I walked, cycled everywhere, couldn't afford fast food, had two part time jobs that were mostly on my feet as well as belonging to a cross country running team for the Uni team, then after graduation to a 9-to-5 job, where I drove into the office car park, sat all day, got drive through meals and when I got home, sat on a couch watching TV until bed, so looking back it was no surprise the weight piled on. That was hard to reverse the damage but I managed to get back down to 175 pounds, I took up hiking as well as a diet & daily exercise regime. I think James Bond was a massive influence on that journey.

    Iam 37 rite now, but lots of people always tell me that the real life for a man starts at 50, if ill b able to look like you when i'll reach that age i'am pretty sure that that advice was a real thing, keep the great work David 🍗🍗🍗🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪

    I’m 56 and when I’m out on a ride ( I cycle almost every day) in the rain or sunshine I think of all those guys my age stretched out on their sofas eating pizza vegetating on game shows or ice road truckers! And give myself a little smile! Fitness keeps your mind happy as well as your body. I’m always happy to take my shirt off on a beach knowing that I ‘don’t’ look like Daniel Craig, but I’m as fit as I can be! And happy. Love your honesty.

    Happy birthday! You don’t look near it. I’m 53 and my closest to Bond (apart from talking on phone to Sir Roger Moore in 1989) was when I lived on Lake Como in my little house in 2006 driving along the lake in my Almera(!) listening to ‘You Know My Name’ on my MP3 player 😆

    Bond aspirational living is a great scaffolding to build oneself. Far from a frivolous endeavour, Bond provides a creative male with the benchmark to visualise ultimate masculine success.

    Thank you David! I'm 52 and in recent months I have noticed quickness in muscle loss and I also have high blood pressure. I know there are a number of things to do, but I get despondent because of the age I am and I not in shape as I used to be many years ago. You have inspired that it is possible to feel, look and be better, and more energised. Many thanks!

    Great Video!! I am only three years behind you myself. And I really need to start a workout routine again. I loved the dancing around, because I will do that from time to time as a feel good thing. It kind of reminds me of Jack Lemmon. In almost all his movies he would do some kind of self dancing thing, goofing around, but just a feel good thing to do. It does make you feel good to just be a little quirky and not care. At our age I don't think it can be said enough!!! STRETCHING!! Stretch and stretch some more. I started throwing my back out a few years ago, and the stretching makes all the difference in the world.

    Like your inspiration was and will always be Bond I've gotta say and i think i can speak in behalf of many people that follow you that you are an inspiration for us. Seeing a man in his 50s having so much care with how he looks and ages after all inspires me(a teen) to also try to be the best version of myself and take the best care of myself.( Clothing, style , physical form and just the way i carry myself)
    Thank you David!

    First and foremost, THANK YOU for this video! I am your senior by 2 weeks...my birthday is January 17th ,1968. It is extremely inspiring to see another 55 year old male in shape, doing well, and loving life in a HEALTHY manner! I am a physician, as well as a Bond fanatic, and I too was very driven by Daniel Craig to be the best version of myself. If he could do it, so could I. Another inspiration and fellow 55 year old is Jason Statham, who is in phenomenal shape, who also reminded me that being in the mid 50's does NOT mean that we're at the start of the "end". I also exercise daily, I eat very clean, and I have found that life is way more enjoyable when health and fitness are a priority. I feel better now than I ever have! Love your channel!!!!

    Happy birthday for yesterday. Just a short message, I've been watching your channel for some years, very good by the way, but not made my opinions or myself known to you. My reason for commenting today is because this video was particularly inspiring. Tomorrow this Englishman, even though is senior to you by nearly 10 years, is going back to the gym to get "fit for my age". Last thing, at some point in the future I would like to put my opinion on No Time to Die as to why I'm slightly in the camp of your friend Joe when it comes to your slight negativity on this particular film. If you're interested in my theory please let me know. Happy birthday again.

    @alancornes8916 2 года назад +1

    Trust me David, you don’t need professional trainers or to obsess too much over diet. I am 66 years old and have trained as far back as I can remember - not long sessions - but enough to keep me fairly ripped and still building muscle even my age. So, fear not, at 55 I still considered myself a relatively young man and at 66 I can still bang out 80 slow and deep press-ups and 95 slow and deep press-up using raised bars all within an hour after doing strength exercises in the morning. If I have any advice to give, it is to be consistent in training regularly. Once you have reached a good level it is much easier to keep fit than it is to get fit from scratch.

    Not so much , 'Pinnacle ' ( new Bond title ?) but ,'constant calibration ' for me ( e.g. intermittent fasting).

I'll be 63 in March and try to get a balance of cardio, planks, and, believe it or not, the old Bullworker from the 70s. I'm just trying to stay healthy and eat well so i'll be around a long time for my daughter. Funny you showed the Yasso bars. That's my occasional treat. I have weight to lose, but I'm headed in the right direction. Anyway, thanks for sharing your journey. I found it fascinating and inspiring.
