Exercise is King, nutrition is Queen, put them together and you’ve got a kingdom.
Jack LaLanne
Brilliantly put!!! Love that analogy.

Nutrition is king, excercise is queen ;)
I love your rants because you tell the truth. We (the general public) always try to find an "easy" way to get fit instead of the tried and true way...diet AND exercise. Thanks for the video reminder.
Sometimes I feel like you guys say what other trainers are either afraid to say or just don't know better. I have believed in your concepts for a long time, even before seeing your videos. Thank you.
I do something like 80% workout, 20% diet, and it works absolutely fine for me (lost 16 pounds during the last six months and generally got alot stronger, fitter, healthier). I work out 4-6 times per week, usually between 30 and 60 minutes. When it comes to diet, I just take care not to eat too much sweets and stuff like that. I also make sure that vegetables are always the biggest part of the meals and that bread is always full grain (thanks for the hint!), but apart from that I just eat as much as I want of whatever I want whenever I want. Never counted calories.
+Gordon Overkill That's actually pretty good but I guess focusing a bit more on your diet (maybe 65-35) could possibly enhance your results but you are most definitely doing the right thing! I hope I can lose weight too, just like you...
That doesn't sound so much of 80/20, just that you're being smart about your eating as well as exercising. Part of the point they're trying to make. Keep up the good work.
I tried working on my diet, but focuses quite heavily on exercise. Your videos made me lose 17Kg in the end!
For me working out is much easier than eating right. One because I genuinely enjoy working out, personally I can't see myself never working out again like I used to. 2nd because I live at home and don't make enough money to spend on my own groceries so I have to eat what's handed to me. 3rd I get horrible hunger feelings around PMS and I get massive cravings for sugar on a regular basis. I honestly wish it was only exercise. I know I'll get to the place one day where I can eat the way I need and want for myself and body. But for now I flip flop between eating really good and bingeing on junk food. om nom nom
+Cat Lynne OMG you are me LOL. I never have problems exercising but I have a super hard time eating right. I get hungry all the time, working out or not. People have been preaching working out makes you hungry, well, guess what? I get hungry all the time even on days I take off from exercising (rolling my eyes here). So, I'd rather keep on exercising, at least I get my health taken care of and grow some toned muscles.
Cat Lynne - " i suggest you eat right, can always eat lots of fruits n dry fruits..."
If you increase the amount of healthy foods you eat, you won't get as many cravings. This is because you're providing your body with enough nutrients to keep it healthy and functioning, which you can't do when eating little. As for the PMS cravings, I get that too. Eating something bad here and there won't ruin your progress. But diet alone does nothing (at least in my experience). I'm now increasing the intensity of my workouts and my caloric intake.
BEST FITNESS CHANNEL!!!
Thank you very much!
Still is 😍
Love this. I'm a physician assistant in family practice (in the southeast US) so I have this conversation with my patients every. single. day. I wish I could just leave your videos on a loop in our waiting room! Thanks for being a resource for me and presenting reliable, practical information to the public. You guys are doing good work and impacting lives. Keep it up!
I agree, a 100% commitment to both diet and exercise, that's the secret :)
I've been working out to your videos every day since august, you're like my personal trainers and these videos are like motivational peptalks. I'm working out for my health, I already had a healthy weight and healthy lifestyle (including eating great pure food), but now I'm building a strong tight lovely body as well. Keep up the great work and the creative workouts!
This is great. You're always so sincere and aren't afraid to tell it like it is instead of the whole profit-driven: "Weight loss is SOOO easy if you use our system!" Thank you for your very informative and no BS advice. KEEP IT UP!
We agree. If we can't eat well and weight train, our hiking certainly suffers. Thanks for helping/motivating us to do what we love.
I love how passionate you guys are.
I think the "80/20" idea is very popular because it allows people an excuse to put in a minimum amount of effort - as a society I think we are always looking for the quickest, easiest way to see results, which is why diet pills are so popular. To be honest I used to fall for the "diet is way more important than exercise" thing - I actually lost over 5kg mainly from calorie restriction with a only small amount of exercise, but even as I approached my goal weight I realised that yes, I may be thinner, but I'm not stronger or fitter, I'm certainly not as toned as I would like. Which is why I now watch Fitness Blender :) So really, if you want to actually look and feel good, exercise really is important.
Jane Yvonne very nice point! I couldn't agree more.
When I relied on diet/calorie restriction only, I became quite flabby. You need both.
Hey guys,
I just wanted to say that I appreciate the value of all of your videos SO MUCH that, even though I don't often buy stuff online, I went ahead and purchased your 8 week fat loss program without much thought.
Any time I can't (or just don't want to) make it to the gym, I can put on one or two of your videos and get a good workout in for the day that's fast yet I can still feel it! You guys do such a great job, so I'm excited to follow you 8 week plan and let you know how it works for me!
Much love,
Laura C
I absolutely love you guys! What a way to keep it real. You are really a breath of fresh air and I truly appreciate having fitness blender for us all.
Love this. I can't express just how angry I get when someone says "I've lost weight and I didn't even exercise" or "I want a bikini body this year" (Then exercise a couple of times a month for a month). I agree completely, eating healthy and exercising is just as important as each other with consistency.
I have always been skinny but skinny doesn't equal fitness, i'm actually quite out of shape and that is why I am starting to workout.
My grandma is 95, she lived a life that was filled with hard work (field work/house work), she had 5 children and she was never on diet. Until 1989 she lived behind the iron curtain and her diet now is the same as than: milk, bread, salty, oily + alcohol. Until around 1970 they did not have running water in house, they also did not have electricity so in winter there was not much of a fresh produce to be had. And despite of all of this my grandma is not frail- last year she was doing shovel work in our not so small garden and until about a year ago she also had a very good memory. Now I am not saying that working out and eating healthy is not important because it is, but how long and how good your life will be has a lot to do with how good are your genes.
BOTH have such a profound affect on my mental heath, mood, and energy. Great message: Choose the BIGGER life! MORE whole foods AND plenty of exercise and fresh air. We have such a WIDE array of beautiful fruits, colorful vegetables, various whole grains, tasty proteins, and rich, delicious fats before us (plus the occasional indulgent French pastry!) -- gifts in abundance. And the ability to exercise is a real privilege. So many people live with debilitating illness, people who would love the chance to dance, lift, run, walk, hike, cycle, row... Let's not take these things for granted. Celebrate both food and exercise if they are yours to choose. One day, they may no longer be so. D&K: Your "rants" are really just calls to remind us of how good we have it. Refreshing! My motivation at (almost) 50 is not a bikini (heaven forbid!), but hopefully life with someday-grandchildren and enjoying the second half of it all with my awesome, active hubby who loves to hike. For this, I need a strong, fit body so I can enjoy these years. It just gets better and better when you love your body for what it can do and not how it looks. THANK YOU for all you do.
"...the ability to exercise is a real privilege. So many people live with debilitating illness, people who would love the chance to dance, lift, run, walk, hike, cycle, row... Let's not take these things for granted." THIS. This is so true & so many people overlook it. Thank you for the kind words and for working out with us!
This topic came up today during a discussion on weight loss, and I had people completely trash the 50/50 plan in favour of an 80/20 plan simply because they don't want to be 'shredded'.
Thanks for the video. Hope to share this with people who are silly enough to think dieting is more important than exercise.
They are so sassy I love this
Thanks! There are a lot of things that about the fitness industry that make us angry. We were hesitant about pushing back at first but have gotten tired of all of the garbage constantly being spewed out to people who are trying to make healthy decisions.
+FitnessBlender I see the true value in what you guys do and I express my deepest gratitude. You two are a gift to humanity. Thank you so much for this information ❤
Awesome workouts. great for when you are deployed. I look forward to my 30-40 minutes with Daniel and Kelly every day. My goal was just to stay in shape and have lost inches and increased my Physical Fitness Test Score. WIN-WIN. Not to oversimplify but cut your portions by 1/3 and exercise every day even if its only for a half hour and you will see gains. Its not a sprint its a marathon. A couple of weeks and you will see gains and meeting short term goals. Thanks for your program, it really has changed how I approach overall fitness.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Kelli & Daniel! It's about the lifestyle you want to live. It's never to late to make it a healthy lifestyle!!
Best diet and exercise channel on RUclips.
Hi Kelli and Daniel,
I am on a fast diet and do exercises 40 minutes - an hour exercise everyday, interchangeably with yoga and tai chi. My favourite exercises from Fitness Blender is 40 minutes total fat blasting, also upper and lower body toning in separate days. You know what! I lost 5kg in 1,5 months! I feel much happier and lighter. Now I'm eating healthy and doing exercises everyday. Thank you for your helpful and encouraging videos. Keep up the good work! Love you guys!

Can't be more true. Being healthy is way more than just looking thin, its about having your body working properly, and you can't get this only be exercise but your body needs the raw material to work with which you find in meat, vegs and fruits. Its highly recommended to keep working all the muscles by doing different activities and eat well.
"Being healthy is way more than just looking thin"
Agreed.
Wish you continued doing videos like these
I couldn't agree more. I tried to exercise to make up for my poor diet to lose weight, I did lose some, but eventually plateaued. I've since become really health conscience and have been making more and more changes to my diet to not only lose more fat, but become more toned and healthy. Thank you so much for putting out such a positive permanent healthy vibe, because most 'weight-loss' programs out there don't do that.
Thanks for sharing...spot on, I say! When I was an athlete in HS, I swam before n after school 2-3 hrs..on top of weekend meets. When I ate badly, it reflected in performance. In my 20's, the 80/20 diet worked somewhat for me then...but by the time 30's hit...and a few more kids....now in my late 40's, 100/100 is the only real, lasting solution for me.
Do you also do hitt?
Can you do a video on intermittent fasting
It's a combination of both actually. A good 50/50. Eat clean, workout. Simple.
That would be what the video says! :D
I couldn't agree more
It really is. Too bad it took me 40 years to figure it out. Onward and upward! No shortcuts.
So glad I found you guys a few weeks ago. You guys rock!
You guys helped me develop a very healthy relationship with food and exercise. And your programs are very effective. Thanks so much for everything.
I have to admit that as a Food chemist, additives and whatnot are a part of my daily life. But I respect your opinion about not eating anything you can't pronounce (I can lol). I love your videos and honesty, you've helped me so much and you are right, both aspects are equally important. Have a great 2014, you deserve it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! U both are inspirational, love you guys! Thanks for this!
You guys are absolutely amazing!!!! Love your advice! You inspire me! Thank you 💪💪💪
ahh i seriously love you guys so much! thanks for spreading such an important message of good health ^^ i love how realistic you guys are and how you stray away from the whole unnecessary 'vanity' side of the fitness industry nowadays ^___^
finally I found the video that actually answers this question directly, thank you so much
I totally agree with this - someone actually said to me they are dieting to lose weight but not bothering to exercise as 'they have to keep that up and can't be bothered'. People are after a quick fix IMO. Exercise makes you feel good so why wouldn't you do it?!
I'm liking the fancy new lighting ;)
So true! I used to eat whatever I wanted within 1200 cals and run 2 miles every other day and I got no where! But once I started eating clean and doing a more wide variety of workouts (mostly FitnessBlender videos ;p) I've lost 10 pounds of fat and gained healthy muscle, and I'm a vegetarian so it is very hard for me to gain lean muscle! :) I've never been over weight but now I'm confident and healthy! Thank you for your lovely videos, I'm gonna be one ripped grandma in my 90s :P
LOL when I was at my doctor's for a checkup recently, I told her I've lost some weight. She asked me, "With diet, or exercise?" I was shocked my doctor asked me such a stupid question... BOTH!
You both guys are the best!!!!!! keep doing this! u really inspire people. Best energy for u.
You guys are sweeter than sugar!!! Why, oh why, am I just now realizing this :) loll
I really like you guys! Was looking for HIIT excercises and your videos are awesome! fun! Different workouts for all walks of life. Easy to do, gets you sweating without thinking about it! Awesome job!
Happy you found us, thanks for watching!
Kelli could you please do a video talking about being on your period while you're trying to lose weight? How to deal with cravings, comforting eating, bloating, mood swings and feeling like you want to give up?! Basically juST HOW TO SURVIVE!?!?! Thanks, love you guys xx
Thank you for the video. I'm using your vid everyday.. and feeling good. It's good that you dont put any music..b cos it can be stressful with fast music... Thank you so much!!
You're so fantastic guys. I love your videos.!! I'm from of mexico
I love these videos! I love hearing what you guys have to say about common diet & exercise opinions :)
I love the way Kelly looks at you when you re talking :-) nice video btw~♥
I see on my body, that the best is diet. Good &healthy diet. Unfortunatelly.
I've done excercise since 2012 and more and more people tell me, that nothing see/nothing change in my body :/ It's frustrating. When I eat health - i loss my weight quicker than doing excercise without diet (sorry for my english:D)
Some people will of course lower their risks of illnesses and diseases etc by simply eating clean. Evidenced by my dad who was instructed to lose weight due to his diabetes (he reached the age of 65 and developed it despite being only probably 1 stone overweight) and so he overhauled his diet, and has massively improved his health in the eyes of the his doctors. Of course staying active is incredibly important, but i think the average person can definitely become healthier by eating very cleanly. Then again you won't have a physical endurance, or it will lessen with age, so i guess both exercise and diet together!!
love this. it IS very hard to get healthy with all these ridiculous studies claiming to help you or have the magic key.
Choose the BIGGER life! Go for both.
I like when he said " oh my god!!!! That's CCCRRAAZY"
how many times a week would you recommend for someone to exercise. i exercise 4 times a week and do 20 mins exercise
5 days a week, yoga on the sixth. Strength train 2-4 times a week, HIIT other days. Rest on Sunday, or whenever. Eat healthy. Do 30-60 mins.
I've known a few people that have had gastric bypass surgery (sad that I know more than 1) and they have eaten the tiniest bits of food, barely worked out, and lost weight. The problem is...well, many things. They have NO muscles, their lethargic, and I can't imagine eating 3 ounces at each meal (including drinks) can be good for their body.
There are times when I cook my own dinners because my dad rarely includes veggies and the good stuff in our meals. When eating healthy and exercising I get the satistfaction that the inside of my body is a clean and happy system, nowadays I can't even eat junk knowing all the rubbish and man made chemicals I'm going to be putting in my body! It's becoming a habit where I almost always look at the ingredients on packaging before eating or purchasing
My real issue is that I have a horrible emotional addiction to bad foods as well as the regular one that comes with eating it too often. I didn't have a very good childhood on the whole. Sugar, and sweets and treat foods were kinda my solace for the last 20 years (Do not feed your 6 month old a sucker. That's just bad parenting imo)
So due to the other issues that came along, I am solely focusing on working out consistently as possible. I focus a bit on food, but I have so much trouble with it. I just get that craving, likely due to underlying depression or emotional void and it will not go away.
I try really hard to not go get sweets and I can hold off sometimes, but not others. And even after 6 months of only things like fruit and dark chocolate limited on a eating plan, I went back to my old habits. It's really frustrating and due to my well, shitty childhood, I also just get mad at myself rather than think "it's okay to screw up, I can get better with time" and instead that negative thought train just spirals, which makes me want to fill the emotional void again and it just goes in an endless cycle of self-loathing and frustration. I know I likely need therapy on this issue, but if anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it. And if therapy is the answer, well, it was still kinda relieving to share my story. I know I'm not the only one. And if nothing else, these awesome videos you guys do really help. Especially because you guys are so thoughtful and kind to peoples issues mental or physical in regards to having a healthy body and life style.
I'm on Day 1 of your meal plan and I must say, it is delicious and filling.
Great job guys. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Totally right on, agreed on everything. Nice one guys!
You guys are so helpful or my life!
I just cut out the junk foods and eat breakfast lunch in smaller but filling meals. As well as snacks I eat fruits or a smoothie or cheese. Without soda and Just drinking water and OJ is great. Its nice I just want to get used to dieting and bringing in healthier meals to the table. I also started training to go jogging with a friend, which I'm so excited I remember jogging when I was younger for soccer. There is ice and snow out side my side walks so I will have to wait for a bit to start.
I've never been a fan of the 80/20 rule especially when it comes to achieving abs "abs are made in the kitchen..not the gym" not true in my opinion why can't abs be made in the kitchen AS WELL as the gym. Working out and eating right work TOGETHER...doing one without the other defeats the purpose
I wanted to know if you have workouts that are good for people that have some physical disabilities? My husband has arthritis in his lower back and bad knees (his 48 years old). He was a cross country runner and a boxer in the Navy. Is there anything that he can do to get a good workouts without aggravating his injuries? Thanks.
You guys make great points. :)
Thank you, it was really helpful.
I have question, when is a good time to exercise?
What do you think about the keto diet that says exercise is great, but not necessary for fat loss?
Let me check if jogging good for weight loss or any recommended exercise?
At one period I exercised about 2h daily (aerodance/stepdance + weight/strength) which I enjoyed and ate, well not all junk, but I took my veggies, fruits and milk with probably much more than needed sweets and the results were great. My body was even toned even if I didn't take enough protein. Later when the circumstances were that I couldn't take that time to exercise and decided to eat better and even add protein the results were awful. so for me the diet (as long as I get all the nutrients) is less important than exercise.
I always thought dieting is expensive and 'healthy' food costs a lot. Little did I know. I got my diet plan from *Agoge Diet* and I was able to select foods that fit my budget.
Workout(30%)+Food Intake(60%)+Rest(10%)=Perfect Health, isn't it?
^ It's both. Don't diminish one to boost the other.
FitnessBlender Thanks. I usually workout 5-6 times a week and use your videos a couple of times a week after I do weights. I like cardio - HIIT/Tabata style workouts after doing weights because they are efficient and I don't want to get big. My wife follows your videos 3~4 times a week at home. Your videos show variety of different workouts for entire body and easy to follow, we both just love them. Please keep uploading, we also go back to old ones and do them too but it is always good to have something look forward to. Thank you again. From ATL GA.
How do you know when you are eating too much? I eat as healthy as I possibly can but can you over eat on fruit and veges?
great video, thanks!
What are your thoughts on food combining?
I really like you guys. Keep it up!
:)
Amen! Kelly, help! I did the ultimate butt and thigh workout and loved it but now my quads are huge! Any way I can reduce their size?
Do you have any suggestions for me to work out without using my legs too much? I hurt my ankle, and now I can't run or jump or do kickboksing for a while. How can I still do cardio?
The problem I have is I eat wayyy too much calories due to my gluttony issue. But I do workout ard 30 to 40 mins a day, but still gaining weight because I didn't burn off the cals I have eaten. I'm still working on eating clean and lesser. :) any tips to curb appetite? Thanks!
One of the things that I have discovered is that protein is an essential to helping you feel full. The best types I've found that makes me feel full are Yoghurt (NOT fat free/sugar free, but reduced fat is okay for Greek Yoghurt), lean Chicken and Turkey, Eggs, Nuts like Almonds and Fishes such as Tuna and Salmon :)
Please can you direct me to exercises that I can do after surgery on my back I love running but its nit possible do you have recommendations for high cardio low impact?
I HAVE LOTS OF FAT FRIENDS WHO HAVE TRIED TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT WITH LOW CARBOHIDRATE DIETS BUT THEY ALWAYS LOOK THE SAME, TO ME I WENT SOMETIME TO INSANITY WORKOUT AND I LOST WEIGHT SO I REALIZE THAT WORKING OUT MY BODY HELPS ME AND I CAN EAT ALMOST EVERYTHING I WANT BUT TAKING CARE AND NOT ABUSING OF FOOD!!!
agree 😎
Just wondering ... I have recently lost 55+ lbs in 3 months, I feel really flabby. Im afraid to be saggy. Do you have workouts you could recommend? Please, let me know asap. I'm doing this workout in tge am. Looks really intense, which is a good thing. Thanks in advance!!!! :))))
Kelly, how many calories do you try and eat daily?
I eat really healthy and work out six days a week. I am training to be on my school's water polo team. Can I still lower my body fat percentage without counting calories?
Thank you for this! But one question how do you calculate the calories burned in your workout videos?
We just filmed a vlog on that, editing it right now! It should be up in the next week or so, watch for it :)
Hi! I have low bloodpressure and i'm a student so i can't exercise everyday to keep my bloodpressure up. I don't know how to eat healthy since almost everything that is healthy lowers my bloodpressure. Please help since i really want to eat healthy! :)
Yes you can lose more weight with only dieting alone but trust me, you won't be able to maintain it. I was a yoyo dieter so I've been there.
Wonderful video
I really like your blue shirt!
Whew! Can't win! Great info though!😫😕
I just run and do a diet is that good ?
I have really poor diet . I sometimes just eat one meal a day. I started to go gym. i still lost weight but i have difficulties to tone... I cant keep up to date with diet and eat healthy. Is there any tips to start eating healthy?
Pre-plan your meals. Keep healthy snacks around if you can. That will encourage you to get more food throughout the day.
Scientists always need to tell what they discover in an unbiased way, it's not their job to spin it.
That's not necessarily true. Unfortunately, as has been demonstrated many times, it sometimes depends on who is funding the research.
FitnessBlender
True, they need to be honest but they aren't always honest, this is why studies have to be repeatable before they're worth anything. But the point is that lying about their findings even if it's with good intentions is something that needs to be avoided, misinformation grows, you can never tell what your white lies will bring.
I really love love both of you
I like working out but the diet kills me I still eat a lot
I'm having such a hard time just doing it . I can't afford a gym membership so I think maybe if I just eat better but I do for two days then fail miserably and man I just can't get back on it, it's just so much to lose . I need to lose almost 50 pounds and it just sounds like soooooo much weight to lose hahahha Lord help me .
Same here, but you have to fight for what you want! FB helps a lot, you can DO this!!
Lol switched vid.
I saw and liked the upper arms, ect.
What if you don't eat but exercise
