The fact that you're giving this advice for free is testament to your incredible heart! Thank you! I have been into kettebells for over 10 years, discovered via Pavel of course. A friend who wanted to join the gym asked me for advice. knowing him, I said, don't join the gym, you will go one week, and the gym will feed off your bank account for months until you decide to cancel your membership and feel guilty for not having gone and lost the membership money. My recommendation: get a single kettlebell, a 12Kg or 16kg, a gym in one piece of equipment. Your video is exactly what I was looking for to share with him.
KETTLEBELLS FOR LIFE!!! 💪🏼 I’ll be 50 in May and I can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my life because of my Kettlebell training, Thank you for being part of my journey. You and your wife are a huge inspiration to me.
Im 55 years old and just found the kettlebell work outs with Gregory 6 weeks ago, and can tell you this system works for me. I look as good as I did in my 30's going to the gym 5 days a week. I only do 3 kettlebell workouts a week at 20mins and some yoga on my off days. I'm actually addicted to the workouts and look forward to the next one!
I appreciate what you do. I’m 54 and work way too much. In January, after seeing one of your videos for the first time, I dusted off my old kettlebells and went to work. Mon, Tues/Thur, Fri splits. 8 years of excuses - after gaining a 3 hour commute - gone. I’ve gone from 221 to 203 and need some new clothes. I feel great. My triglycerides went down to 170. Thank you and keep motivating us! 🤟
Dear Gregory, your body has transformed tremendously very recently. You did mention you calculate your one rep max and such but i still don’t know what exactly changed in your work out routine. Could you make a video that breaks down what the reasons are your body transformed and how we can do it ourselves?
@@lebe-starkI'm not sure what you are trying to say with your comment. Are you seeing you used to workout more or less than 3 times per week and now do?
I'm so out of shape that my heart rate goes up quickly after just walking quickly on a treadmill. I was thinking to use a heart rate monitor to track my heart rate to keep it below a certain level for 20 mijutes. Trying to get to a basic level of fitness first
Don't buy a heart hate. Just feel you body limits. Try to walk on the streets. Avoid go walk on a theadmill. Find a place to be your goal to achieve. On the streets you will walk more and you will not feel bored. You will lose more weight and feel alive. Just go. Don't think much, just go.
@@MuesliMachoI think getting as strong as him or at least close as possible is going to be easier if you workout only 3h a week. The reason is that building muscle, certainly after a certain point becomes harder and harder. Muscle and strength: Mike Mentzer is a favorite amongst many people because he developed a system to workout minimally during the week yet see large results. Strenght: If his way of working doesn't suit you I'd try the training of strongmen. A cool way is too lift heavy sandbags. My favorite guy for sandbag training is a channel called stone circle. And otherwise I'd suggest to do kettlebell exercises 3h a week. Choose a few exercises that will enhance your functional power. I'd stick to 5 exercises in total. Stick to those exercises and increase the weight every now and then. Then when you reach a plateau find other exercises that will eventually help you go past your initial plateau. And repeat this until you become a monster. If none of that resonates find someone more knowledgeable than me because I'm definitely not an expert haha.
Good point, Mark! Walking is a major key. While regular kettlebell training will include stretching and (loaded) mobility, unloaded stretching exercises definitely make sense!
I am going to unsubscribe. making unrealistic promises and downplaying the struggle and commitment necessary to get "fit" is unethical and does more harm than good. I love kettlebells and have been using them almost daily for many years. I love the quality of your instruction but cannot support your channel any more. To promise fitness in 6 weeks and ignore messaging related to the struggle and commitment necessary is not tolerable.
I'm not sure where you saw that he downplayed the commitment and effort needed to get fit. As for 6 weeks, you can make a lot of progress in that time, especially if one is currently sedentary. Fitness exists on a spectrum, and you won't arrive at a destination called "fit" ever, and certainly not within 6 weeks. But 6 weeks is a good starting goal, and is enough time to make noticeable progress.
then title the video "get a jump on your fitness goals in 6 weeks." Words matter and there are too many influencers touting magic solutions as click bait headlines. @@mdpreacher9073
If you think those pictures are the result of 30 minutes training per week, and nothing else, you’re deluded. 30 minutes a week will make a neglible difference to your weight. Those changes in physique are the result of diet, not kettlebells.

Thank you. I'm going to run with this. Time for a big chance bless you 🙏
May the force always be with you! omd
Great video.

Excellent stuff Gregory, cheers!
You are an amazing speaker.

3 is an optimal range. Experience shows however, that Over-40s are having a hard time working out 3 times per week.
@@lebe-starkI'm not sure what you are trying to say with your comment. Are you seeing you used to workout more or less than 3 times per week and now do?
This wasn't the thread I was supposed to comment on. RUclips studio is buggy sometimes. @@hansmemling2311
@@lebe-starkAh I see, what are your thoughts on my initial question?
The only things I've changed is 1RMAX barbell work twice a week and eating less food.
Im 55 and need to drop 100lbs, and have some mobility issues. Will this program work for someone like me?
Yes! Give it a shot and listen to your body!
Thanks a million for sharing! How about squeezing a third session every week? Would it make any significant diference?
Try it and see how sustainable it is.
Is it only for people over 40 years old?
No, but Over-40s need time-efficient movements. And they love kettlebells. lol
Please consider a kettlebell cruise or retreat.
We have our first one this summer in Mallorca, Spain.

80% of the clients train 40x Times a year? Less than once a week and still get results? That does not sound too little to me.
But let's say I can work out 3hrs per week. Will this make me Arnold-strong?
you need illegal drugs and be under 40 and do 3 training sets per day 24/7, i think
@@maxilliumxTrue :)
Arnold strong or Arnold physique?
@@hansmemling2311he was definitely stronger than me. Both or at least one of the attributes ware fine. :)

once ever 48 hours long walk in between and stretch

Way too much filler. Could (and should) have been done with a 10 minute video. Bailed...
Come back!

@@charlesmarshall1309 Of course diet is most important for losing weight. But dieting isn't going to put on muscle.
One should be completely out of shape to start with a 16kg deadlift.
