Many people struggle to get the results they are after despite putting a ton of effort into their training. It is often thought that training can counteract negative lifestyle habits that are in conflict with it, but that's rarely the case. More often than not, your lifestyle will have a far greater impact on your long term progress, especially when it comes to getting leaner. If you haven't achieved your goals, ask yourself honestly, "what would happen if I stopped drinking alcohol? What would happen if I cooked all my own meals? What would happen if I went for a 30 minute walk every day?". While everyone will vary in their willingness and tolerance to make lifestyle adjustments, even small changes can help support your training and bring you closer to achieving your goals.
I’m 180 days into no alcohol and becoming absolutely shredded. It’s insane how much easier it is to get lean by removing alcohol
alcohol is garbage. that shit is not worth a cent.
I'm 7336 days into no alcohol
Being that specific with it, was it a big problem? Genuinely asking.
@@evansyoc would really recommend giving it a shot for a month, just keep in mind that one month just gets the engine really warmed up. By 90 days you start really seeing an impact
@@gscadwaladerThis.is.my.downfall…. trying really hard to cut it out. Still able to BQ and stay fit but just cannot get cut and I really believe there is a lot of unrealized potential stolen by 🍺. It’s also screwing up my workouts.
I went the opposite direction, quit alcohol which then lead to waking up earlier. Made eating well and being active so much easier, ended up losing 25lbs and feeling better than ever. Great video and per usual Kyle
That's awesome, Jack! The two definitely seem to work together, and when combined, it is super powerful!
Respect
Facts was drinking almost everyday/otherday and after doing Ramadan this year I stopped drinking and went on this intermet fasting .. drank soda and even carbs and still was losing weight .. gonna cut out them soda and then when I stagnate finna cut out the carbs .. gonna be too shredded
@@bane8305 good job 👍

Most people don't want to accept how damaging alcohol is to almost every aspect of ones life because it is so normalised.
For us older folks it's clear as day how detrimental even a few alcoholic beverages can be on our recovery, digestive system, hydration, sleep quality, lapse in clean eating. Anyone here that is still in their 20's take advantage of your youth if you are pursuing new levels of health. Are those drinks worth the trade off. Enjoy but don't over indulge. Cheers to Mr. Boges!
One of the very few fitness advisors who actually talks sense without the hype and fluff. Commendable approach and valuable info.
Thank you, Nico! I appreciate that!
I cut out alcohol completely 4 1/2 years ago I'm never going back. The noticeable benefits are too valuable. More restorative sleep, less empty calories, less cravings for bad foods, less inflammation, more money in my pocket...
Yeah! It's all positive! I totally agree. Going back is tough to do when you feel how good everything is without it.
Back in our childhood, our teachers would recite us, "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." It kinda sit with me my whole life. I must admit that I'm not an early bird, but when I do wake up early in the morning, not only does my day become more productive, I also feel happy and more energetic through out the day, and I welcome sun in the sky while on the run. It's incredible!
Yeah, I agree. I watched my dad do this growing up, and I never understood why. Now I totally get it.
Waking up early and going to bed early is a HUGE life changer. It doesn't only makes me feel stronger and healthier but also HAPPIER. We evolved as diurnal animals, our body and mind evolved using the Sun as a clock. I am convinced that modern life with all the excessive artificial lights and artificial extension of the day is more detrimental to our physical and mental health than we think (as well as to other animals').
I totally agree with all this. One thing that has helped my sleep a lot is seeing the sunrise every morning. I think light plays a critical role in regulating mood, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
That's pretty well established, in fact. Recall the "seasonal affective disorder" people, or the assorted health problems associated with working rotating shifts, or the psychological stress of submarine duty (weeks in a windowless metal can at depths light can't reach).
We didn't evolve.
We were created by The Creator.
Stop propagating lies, Gabriel. Be responsible.
@@ashrafi7337shut up lmao
@@ashrafi7337 you dont know it for sure, stop pretending and trying to force people in your believes
Quitting alcohol has definitely more benefits than losses.
Hey Kyle ! I'm 18 and live in France. You have brought me a vision about life, health and just overrall fitness that I couldn't get anywhere else. I really agree with your way of approaching things and just wanted to thank you because I was lost about my future and wasn't active at all. Since I've discovered you, I now know what I wanna do for the rest of my life whether it's professionnal or personal. Thanks again, your videos are great as always.
bonjour!
Parkour!
Hi ! I've read somewhere that eating frogs was very effective to stay in shape. Is it really a thing ?
Absolutely not😂😂. But baguette helps!!
@@tiemokoniambele4789 wtf
Amen, Kyle! It’s hard to understate the power of what you said.
53-year-old here … grateful to be reaping the rewards of these two lifestyle changes. But I got to this point from a different angle…
I dropped alcohol after committing to daily meditation at 6am. That led to earlier bed times, better sleep, and a VERY CLEAR picture of how detrimental even small amounts of alcohol on a regular basis could be.
As my overall physical and mental health improved, I found I had more energy and appetite for exercise. I joined the gym down the street and now I’m moving some weights around a little.
By starting early, I can block off my morning hours, preserving time for 1) meditation, 2) a 5k walk in the woods, and 3) regular weight training (with an intentional diet). A super-easy formula to completely change your life.
Thanks for the excellent videos, Kyle!
May I ask what time you have to be at work?
This channel has been life-changing for me. I’m 21 years old and never used to enjoy going to the gym. Thanks to your content and teachings about basic calisthenics, I’ve been able to develop a consistent workout routine that is as effective as it is enjoyable, and in just a few months I’ve seen pretty astounding changes in my physique. Thank you for all of this wonderful information, you are the best!
Charlie! Dude I love hearing how calisthenics can change lives. I'm so happy the content has been valuable for you! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙏
Whats the workout routine?
Love this! Reflects my experience too! I am 7 months into no alcohol, training the kboges way and walking - Now 16 pounds down and feeling great. I sleep better and wake up early naturally. Sunday morning early walks are bliss when everyone is sleeping and the world is quiet. Thanks for everything Kyle and the community is so supportive too.
16 pounds in heavy! Keep up the good work!
@@adityatripathi9905 Thank you my friend!
Waking early is so powerful. I love getting stuff done before everyone else is up. It's like adding time to your day that you're also very unlikely to have interrupted. Great point!
Love your content. Short, simple, valuable and no BS
I was more or less depressed from age 13 until age 30. I felt somewhere in the realm of "kind of bad" to even "REALLY bad" mentally and emotionally 70 percent of the time. This was regardless of what was particularly going on in my life, it was chronic and didn't change much due to any changes in life circumstance. Only 30 percent of my life did I feel "pretty good" or even more rarely "really good." I even felt more sluggish most of the time than I thought I should, considering I was living decently healthy.
All that time I went to bed around 1 o'clock at night on average, but I was getting 9 hours of sleep so it wasn't a lack of sleep as such. Since FINALLY mustering up the discipline to CONSISTENTLY go to bed at 10 o 'clock in the evening I legitimately enjoy being alive on a fundamental level in a way I haven't since I was a child. And I have always been moderately healthy in terms of diet, working out and general lifestyle. Don't underestimate the power of your Circadian rhythm and it's importance when it comes to your fundamental well being.
Thanks for sharing
Yeah, for me the life-changing decisions was: going to sleep at the same time every day, losing weight, cutting alcohol and weed, and eating most of the time least processed food.
It doesn’t matter what time I go to bed. After age 40, this body just won’t stay asleep more than a certain number of hours. I have tried a fair number of strategies to no avail. I wonder what would change if I could get even seven hours a night consistently. Hasn’t happened for nearly thirty years after age forty.
@Jack-nn6fo I tried it years ago. Didn’t change anything. Nice for your dad that it helped.
@@oolala53 what about meditation/breathing exercises before going to bed, have you tried anything like that?
Currently doing "Dry January" but having 90 days off alcohol to start 2024.
Been implementing these 2 specific tips in 2024 (no drink and being up by 6am, apart from 1 weekend day where I lie in until 7am) and they work.
They are both simple and free to do but are not easy.
Thanks!
This simple and straightforward advice is great! I'm 23 years old and began my fitness journey just a few months ago to prepare for Army basic training. I often binge your videos and forward them to my workout buddies. Keep up the good work!
Wow! Thank you, Owen. I appreciate that. Good luck on your fitness joinery and good luck in basic training!
The timing of this video could not have been more perfect. Thank you for the reassurance. I needed it.
My pleasure, Jackal!
time to change your name to wake.up.early.jackal ;)
@@pauloferro8755 I love that! 🤣
I just wanted to say that my mindset and mentality as I entered my 30s mirrored what you talked about in this video almost identically. I happened to stumble across the same decisions and outcomes that you have based on the same logical way of thinking (what's important to me, what do I have to do in order to do it, what does and doesn't help me get there and what is the opportunity cost of not doing those things and make the related calculations) and I must say I'm the happiest I've ever been with my physique and lifestyle than when I was in my 20s.
Great message, great content.
Amazing how the works, right? It's wild how many people I talk to who feel trapped in the sense that they are seemingly helplessly moving down the wrong path and feel they cannot implement a powerful enough intervention to get them off course. And then when you start to dig into their lifestyle, you see that EVERYTHING is fighting against their efforts.
Thanks for this excellent comment, P H! I appreciate the support!
Not smoking weed is when my willpower and focus come back full force
Well done. Glad you made the change, brother.
love the things that you did for the community! Thanks Kyles
Thank You, Nguyen!
K Boges! I am so thrilled your channel is flying. I remember find your stuff when it was around 5k sub... your ideology on training and the simplicity behind it made so much sense to me. Thank you again for all your taught me and others and keep on keeping on.
Thank you so much, Curtis! I appreciate that kind feedback and the support! Thank you for sticking with me as the channel grows! That means a lot, brother!
I've always been a early riser/morning person, but i started waking up at the same time everyday even on the weekends ever since winter break of 2021 and it has been beneficial. I started out by waking up at 8 AM during that break, but then I pushed it down to 6 AM until eventually finding my sweet spot at 4 AM on school days and 5 AM on weekends. This change has allowed me to get a workout in everyday before school as well as feeling more productive during the weekends because I know my peers are sleeping in. I know we shouldn't do things for others sake, but this little hint of competitiveness I have in my mind keeps me going and pushing. Great video like always sir, keep up the quality content!
Awesome mindset!
Thank you so much and dude I 💯 fee you on that. It is highly motivating to know you are out working everyone else. Well done brother and keep at it.
@@Ryan-Horgan appreciate it!
@@Kboges appreciate it! I applaud you not only for your content but your interactivity with your audience
Love these meta- style videos talking about overarching concepts. Would really be grateful if you made some content on avoiding and rehabbing injury/tendonitis.
Thanks, James!
Great suggestion!
The 'Gamify Life' principle in practice. If you're playing a game like an MMORPG, your goal is to level up your character as much as you can, make them stronger, better, smarter, increase their performance. Which poses the question, why not live our lives like this? Each practice and habit or any daily event like socializing with new people (each quest) we undergo then becomes an opportunity for us to gain XP in real life, to increase our performance, to level up our current build.
Great video as always man. I always get excited when you post. These videos put my mind at ease during my high stress lifestyle.
I LOVE this concept! That is exactly right and I have thought of this many times but was never able to really understand it like you just put here. Well said, Dallas!
Thank you for the support!
Just can’t underestimate how important these two lifestyle choices are! I have discovered the benefits of getting up early and reducing alcohol intake in the last few years and undoubtedly when I let these two habits go downhill pretty much everything else does as well. Given me some much needed motivation to get these in check again!!! Thanks
I'm a college student so these are naturally the two vices I've indulged too much for quite some time now. I've cut down my drinking significantly and started waking up earlier than noon for around two months, and surprise surprise, my training is way better and I feel a lot more balanced mentally. My mind is less cluttered and my focus and energy is steadily going up. It's strange how easy it is to ignore building stable and healthy routines that bring long-term well-being for no real benefit. Moderation really is key.
💯 agree. That’s one of the bummers about college is the environment can encourage some bad habits that stick with you. If I could go back, I would have just not drank and not partied, and would have used that time to maximize my potential, but I definitely learned from it. So I’ve doubled down in my 30s.
@@Kboges it is part of experience, maybe you would never have understand all you understood now without mistakes from past! Life has to be lived!
And earlier than noon is not early is half day 😂
@@xrt126 You should've seen my earlier sleep schedule, or lack thereof. Progress is progress hahah
@@peerlesspeaks hahaha of course I was joking, we all need years of bad habits before understanding how bad they were, and after even more years to replace them with the good ones hahah! Stay motivated brother 💪💪
Great video Kyle. I like how you phrased "opportunity cost" as we all have to make decisions as to what we put in our bodies and the extra work we would have to put in to pay the cost.
That’s a great way to say it. 🙏💪
I feel like i have a strong mental connection with you, because you're one of very few men whom i listen to with maximum attention. And every time i get concerned about some aspect of health and training, you release a video about it.
For me, this aspect was my nutrition, which im working to fix it.
It's not easy when you not good in finances, but I'm trying to reach maximum potential from what i can afford.
Uro! That means a lot, dude. Thank you. Feel free to shoot me an email if you ever have any questions.
Quality protein sources have definitely gotten more expensive. Is that what you feel you have the hardest time affording?
I’ve always considered myself a morning person, I’ll wake up naturally the moment the sun comes up (I live in Mexico, so winters remain more so the same) so close to 6. Exercise needs to be the first thing I do, I’ll go to the gym 3 times a week and run twice. And I enjoy it, but most importantly, I keep doing everything I enjoy doing. I love my 6 AM exercise, my healthy diet, my occasional cheat meals and have a beer or two every other day. I’ve found I feel the happiest when I get to do all of those things, understanding not to take any of those things to a excess.
To the point ☝️
short and simple ❤
Great 👍
Thank you, Atif!
The most underrated fitness Chanel changed my perspective on training thanks
Thank you! That’s super kind of you. Thank you for the kind feedback and support.
As a 20 year old just getting started with self improvement it’s so good having these resources right in front of me. I’m able to learn lessons from people with years of experience. Thanks for the advice 👍.
Down 5lbs in 2 weeks by waking up at 4:45 and getting my workout in with my wife. Really sets up the rest of my day and helps me make better decisions for my goals. Hoping I can stick with it this time and get to 210. Currently 230.
Well done, crsovr44! That's the way to do it!
amazing! btw what time do you go to sleep?
@@user-wv8cm6fg6f im out by 9, 9:30 at the latest. i got two kids so i have no problem sleeping after a long day of work. waking up early helps too. it's tough but so worth it for the focus. and my workouts are only between 30 and 45 mins, so you don't need a lot, just to be focused and work hard during that time.
This describes me really well! However the early mornings, bedtimes and decreased drinking has pissed some 'friends' off over the years. Oh well! I would like to hear your take (someday) on psychology and training re. do we fatigue mentally before we do physically etc, and the relationship between stress and performance. Thanks for the video … all the best.
I feel you, oaknash.
Dude this topic is fascinating and definitely something I want to make some content on. Thank you for the suggestion.
Thanks for the support, my friend! 🙏
I'm 29 and haven't had a drink since July 4th. Wanted to get in the best shape of my life, be more of a morning person and save money. As you mentioned, the money I'm saving on drinks is going right to buying healthy foods. I'm also treating working out and meal prepping as something I want to do which has helped me be very consistent
Hey Kyle, your volume-based method has honestly been amazing for me, while studying full time, travelling and working I have been able to consistently been able to see progress with just a short workout every day. Thanks a lot 🙏
So wise. I love you, man.
Thanks, Tophe! I appreciate the kind words, brother!
Much love, dude!
Awesome insights! Giving up the party lifestyle, quitting alcohol & cannabis, becoming the designated driver. Allows me opportunities to become more observant & present! It also brings more clarity to my fitness aspirations!
Following your content has been very instrumental with an assortment of positive changes!! Always anticipating your next post!
Thanks for your continued support.
🕉💪🏾
Djj! Dude, well said. I totally agree. Thank you always for your kind comments and support. I always look forward to hear your feedback. 🙏💪
I'm 24 and I figured this out organically,
started waking up early to train and get everything done because my days are so long,
and gave up alcohol for my diabetes.
Both have skyrocketed my improvement of my life.
This is spot-on
Being blessed to be living in the Rocky Mountains--- there are no words that describe the deep, deep feelings one gets while jogging along a river, watching the sun come up!! Clean air for outdoor calastinics is a huge bonus as well!!!
Ahhh Don! That sounds beautiful! Enjoy that lovely environment, my friend!
You're a legend man, great content! Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words and support!
Straight facts here. Stop getting drunk on the weekends. Saturday morning workouts beat saturday morning hangovers everyday of the week and twice on sunday.
100% this!!!
Quitting drinking has made the biggest improvement on my overall health. I was already working out and eating decent but after I stopped drinking my quality of life improved so much. I have so much more focus now.
thanks for this. Life happened and i got out of shape. I used to look like you about 5 years ago and I was thinking that it's because I dont wake up early in the morning anymore. Thankfully i dont drink much alcohol
Great video! Being an early riser and cutting out alcohol sure are huge game changers in life. Beneficial for training and to get ahead in life in other aspects. Sleeping in and drinking (things the majority would rather do) seriously can set you back from what you want to achieve. Becoming an early riser and cutting out the alcohol certainly have been smart decisions made in my life.
Totally, Ryan. For someone struggling to make progress in any aspect of life, these two things are powerful additions to throw in.
Scarcity creates value. Nothing encapsulates this phrase more than the now bi-weekly upload.
Solid, practical advice as always brother. No fluff and no 10 minutes to get to the point. That’s why we all worship at the altar of K.Boges
PS I’ve been trying to contact you via E mail and IG DM. I’m forced to do it through YT comments 😂
Dude, thank you so much! Send me and email with strong and conditioned in the subject. My email is packed and I don’t read any IG messages anymore. It’s unmanageable. But send me a new email and I will get back to you. You have my word.
@@Kboges superb my man!
Great video Kyle, as per usual. Currently doing the barbell and calisthenics routine which fits great into my busy schedule!
Happy to hear this, Iker BB + C is a great program! Keep at it, making slow and steady progress! Feel free to reach out if you ever need to.
I love this. Especially the philosophy behind your abstinence from alcohol. I have started to adopt a similar mindset!
I was half expecting “TRT and money”, but this is good as well.
I have rebooted my sleep schedule two and a half weeks ago to wake up at 4-5 a.m. I have also started taking control of my dopamine (cutting on social media, I stopped listening to music etc). AND I make sure to sunbathe and TAN MY BALLS. My lifts are up, my libido is up, I am becoming rapidly stronger and losing weight at the same time, while being tanned to the balls. I’m not joking.
Way to go...Balls tanning is a trend of the future! 😂😂
I totally agree with you brother. Also the two points you talked about are addressed in Islam. Alcohol is prohibited and waking up early is advised.
I just learned that! Super interesting!
I appreciate the shortness of your statements. And I agree from experience. Waking up earlier and drinking less made my life much better. I think there is no need to obsess with not drinking at all as some nowadays do. One danger in the zero tolerance policy with drug consumption is simply that it may lead into a all or nothing thinking. So, generally I would advice people to reduce their alcohol consumption by 80 percent and see what happens. If then, lets say, one year later, you reduce the remaining 20 percent again by 80 percent, most of us should be the pride of ervery doctor in the world. ;)
As always such good advice that anyone can take on. Waking up early and getting stuff done really does make a huge difference in having a better flow to the day. And drinking just for the sake of drinking is definitely never worth it to me personally, but the odd drink sometimes to celebrate something can be good for me. At the end of the day everyone is different, find what works for you and discard what doesn't. Glad to see this channel keep growing, you deserve it.
I couldn't agree more, Judge. Well said.
Absolutely. 3 months no getting drunk or cigs. It’s all so connected. These 2 things are so true. More time more health more working out better sleep. 🚀
Exactly right! It's amazing how everything falls into place when you get these dialed.
As always great advice. Limiting and excluding alcohol was the greatest step to success in many ways. I have a wine selection that is World class and it taunts me like a lady in red...lol. My b-day is Friday I will have a toast, but now it truly is a celebration...
lifestyle really is the final key. like having work that allows for more walking & standing for me has FINALLY allowed me to reach a leaner body way better than trying to "out cardio" my old more sedentary life.
Ryan, I couldn’t agree more. Spot on!
I would add caffeine to the list. I drink tea and about 2x a week some other caffeine beverage. Experienced a significant amount of joint pain over a few months. Cut it out and pain disappeared after a few days. I've done this several times. Could be I have a sensitivity to it but for those having severe joint paint look into it.
Yes you are absolutely right bud. Regular workout helps a lot with stress, depression and even anxiety issues. Also promote increase appetite and increased stamina.
Just too many merits it's fantastic.✌️
Indeed!
Thanks for the motivation. Somehow I have to get to bed earlier so I can wake up earlier. Late evening is the only time I seem to have to help the family reset for the next day. Cleaning, chores, food prep. But then I’m up late, plus interrupted sleep outside of my control, it’s hard to get up early.
Makes perfect sense to me. Being single makes it easier to live more in line with my circadian rhythm. I'm up early,get my workout in and go to bed early. Of course this isn't for everyone but it definitely works for me.
I Always woke up early it is the most beautiful part of any day so many people rarely see the kind of light the world gives only to early birds. I start work at 6, stop at 1pm and then I feel I have so much time it's like i have 2 days in one
100% right on all points, xrt!
@@Kboges Thank you brother for your content it's really refreshing. Having interest in fitness in general can literally destroy your RUclips feed haha and it's so nice to find a channel like yours, with a mentally healthy, pragmatic, concrete philosophy between all those people that succeeded to make fitness unhealthy
Feels good watching this after waking up early and barely having any drinks the past week.
I guess it's the typical college process where alcohol becomes the end all be all. As I got older, I began to move away from strong liquors and basically only drink beer/wine socially ever so often. This definitely has a positive impact on discipline and overall health. I would premise the waking up early only can happen if you go to sleep earlier. This has been a struggle for me, but the times that I was successful have easily been my most productive days. Thanks a ton for pointing out the simple tenants of good health and for always going about it holistically. Honestly, this channel has been the best reference for maintaining a healthy lifestyle!
First off, big fan of your channel. I find the clear and consice videos very helpful and am seeing great results from this simple kind of training. I cut out alcohol mainly because it was becoming a crutch and I wanted to make positive changes in my life, but I found out it was the best thing I've ever done for my health, well-being and bank account! Just better in every way. Now my days off are filled with days in nature, training or just catching up with friends doing interesting things. Not just hanging around getting sloshed. Sober = freedom.
It's always a nice day when you post brother! And this is so true: I really miss waking up early in the morning, but working in the second shift makes it near impossible... I can't wait for my schedule to change again. PS: after some setbacks, I'm about to be done with the first block of the program now, and the results are phenomenal! I can't wait to share them with you soon.
Awesome Kevin! I can’t wait to hear about them! Always great to hear from you.
I too have stumbled upon these and they have changed my mood and physique forever. Regular alcohol use is a huge killer.
100% agree. It seems so obvious once you do it, but many people fail to realize it.
Great advice. It also depends on your friends and who you socialize with. If they have negative habits you pick them up. It’s necessary to find health-conscious friends.
100% agree. I started waking up between 4:30-5 am once my son was born. Best life decision I’ve made. Same with alcohol. I gave it up 13 years ago because I was noticing the same thing.
One the best sites on the internet. Reminds of a site (Name escapes me now) that analyzed small aircraft accidents and of Dave McLeods's site, he being a professional climber who lives in Scotland. Two activities far removed from what you do, but you and those folks - cut through the proverbial Gordian knot of complicated issues with great clarity.
Getting up early is quite an awesome feat. You get to take charge of the day instead of having the day take charge of you. It's very powerful. The booze on the other hand, I could use some tips on to how to cut back.
Well said, Bobby!
For the booze, I just came to the conclusion that it was not supporting my goals, and was undoing a lot of the work that I was doing.
@@Kboges When not drinking, the sleep gets real good and the recovery is enhanced a ton. Plus as you were saying about the leanness, alcohol is that 4th marconutrient with 7kcal per gram.
Gave up alcohol completely 2 years ago and don't miss it, and certainly don't miss when I used to lose a day completely to hangover recovery, especially as I hit middle age and couldn't deal with it as easily.
I go to bed at 8.30pm and get up at 4.30am all week, maybe a little later at weekends but not much, and can't tell people enough how much better that lifestyle routine is. I have my personal quality time in the morning when I am fresh and get all my physical stuff done and dusted; far better than coming in from work fatigued and then having to drag myself through a workout.
But one of the nicest benefits from this schedule is that the world is a different place at that time in the morning, especially in the summer. You experience a stillness and calmness that you would never be able to enjoy at other times. kinda reminds me of when we were all locked down during covid.
I live in a medium sized town of 60.000 people so it's not too bad especially considering we actually have quite a few gyms here but I still hate going around mid day. Being in a busy gym with most equipment taken up is just so annoying to me. Makes being at the gym significantly less enjoyable for me. I go in the morning consistently and yeah even shopping at the supermarket etc. is nicer when it's not busy yet.
Love the added talking point of avoiding alcohol. I stopped all use over 200 days ago and my body on all levels loves the benefits! keep it up! 💪
Yeah it's hard to go back once you feel the difference!
I came to the same conclusion. Craming in things after work, was not sustainable...and the late evening workouts lead Always to late night sleep... And we should rise with the sun and rest at night.
That’s a really simple but great point. If 23 hrs of what you do conflicts with the 1 hrs of training, then the training won’t work.
Exactly. Most people seem to think they can undo the 23 with 1 hour of work. It never works.
The speed with which I click on these videos is unprecedented ⚡ Thanks for your continual insight Kyle, the lifestyle topics really help flesh out the bigger picture that is a happy, healthy LIFE.
Thank you, FF! I appreciate your kind feedback!
So simple, yet so impactful. Thanks for sharing. I gave up drinking beer because of a skin condition. I thought I would miss it a lot, but as it turns out, not at all. Haven't had beer for at least 4 years now..
That's amazing to hear! It's crazy how we can adjust. I used to LOVE beer and considered going into the brewery industry. It was a big part of my life for a long time. I don't miss it, though.
I have ehlers danlos, and since my late teens when it first started effecting me, exercising has gotten progressively more difficult as i move into my mid 20's. I can no longer set aside an hour a day to exercise, as doing multiple sets of anything, (I only do bodyweight now) has pretty consistently lead to soft tissue injuries. Now, i implement the things mentioned, and just do a few reps every hour or two throughout the day, which has allowed me to keep my total volume at a level where i am not losing ground, but not gaining any either. Im not where i wish i was, or where i used to be, but am happy that i can now exercise consistently without hurting myself constantly anymore.
I’m sorry to hear about your challenges my friend. It’s inspiring how you have managed it and still maintained a healthy lifestyle. Amazing stuff. Keep at it. And keep me posted on how things go for you. 💪🙏
Agree 100 percent about cutting back on alcohol.
I hardly ever drink and I'm happy enough to go without on a night out. Leaves me fresh for the next day. It's better for the finances too as the price of alcohol in Scotland is sky high
Another great video man. Awesome chin ups too.
Thanks Kyle, I agree waking up early (while the enemy is asleep) allows you to get things done with no room for excuses. You can still have a bad day where everything goes wrong but the feeling of a few good completed tasks sure makes a difference.
We recently had a 48 hour power failure which was of course frustrating, but in hindsight going to bed when the sun went down and being away from tv and internet was a very positive experience.
Yeah I think this can fix a lot of issues for a lot of people, especially sleep and stress related problems.
Great! Off alc since more than 100
Days now and really feel what your are saying: waking up earlier and feeling much more energized to stay consistent with my workout routine! I am in the best shape of my life and only giving up alc made this possible!
I love this channel. Short, sweet, and potent knowledge from someone with deep experience.
Regarding sleep I tried a lot and in the end had to do the total opposite. Since I am awake at night and sleep till noon I feel awesome and perfectly rested. Every other schedule pretty much wrecked me all the time. Can't say why though.
No alcohol in daily life helped me a lot, too. It's a great decision for everyone I would guess.
when you mentioned life changes I immediately thought about quitting alcohol. Drinking way less changed my life for the absolute better
I'm a dairy farmer and I do basic and easy physical labour every day. I took a year off a few years ago, and I was sitting all day - I got lots of joint pain and put on lots of weight but my work outs didnt change.
Yeah this is a perfect example... Movement is so important.
Thank you for sharing, Damian! I hope more people see this.
Great stuff, Kyle! I would also recommend barefoot shoes. It forces you to change your gait, engaging your core, glutes, achilles etc. instead of relying on cushioning of the shoes and knees/upper back to absorb impact (which it does poorly in the long run anyway).
Quit alcohol and smoking, Automatically started waking up early. I go for a 5km walk/jog. In the afternoon I hit the gym for 70-90 minutes. It has been 3 months now and I lost 5.5 kg so far. I was binge drinking 3-4 days a week. One thing for sure is that alcohol is the worst drug/toxin that is available easily and everywhere.
That's the way to do it! Well done and inspirational! Thanks for sharing.
Honest, succinct and to the point. Much appreciated brother. ✌🏻
Fantastic video!!
Thanks, Irwing!
Concise, love it.
Thank you!
@@Kboges quick question, if you somehow see this comment too - did you ever consider hiring an assistant for your channel, or anything else really?
This has perfect timing as I want to ramp up my workouts right now, like this week. Both ideas have been passing thoughts, but its time to put it into action.
been working on my plan the last few days and that tip just made everything so much simpler. spending focused time on the important stuff takes priority so gotta improve probability & quality of time spent; so simple and obvious now that it's understood ;D
So glad this connected with you. Sounds like you’re on a great path. Best of luck to you. Keep me posted on how it goes.
Awesome, totally agree with you. One thing that has changed a lot for me is putting a little bit of extra effort, and money, into meal prep... as well as regularly changing recipes. It has made eating healthy so much more sustainable and enjoyable and I actually look forward to eating my meals now. I used to view food shopping and meal prep a chore but I've found a way around it!
For food shopping, I like to try and "speed run" it and get all the items I need as fast as possible whilst listening to fast upbeat music through my headphones. I look like a crazy man in the supermarket but its actually really fun haha! So far I managed to do a weeks food shopping in 14 minutes... thats my new personal best hahaha
As for meal prep I just play some music and have a beer and put effort into good recipes and its more bareable that way
Mountain Man that is awesome! I love your approach. Sounds like fun and gets you to your goals. Well done!
@@Kboges Cheers mate keep up the good videos!
I think some of this is a good suggestion, but honestly some people aren't morning people. I for one definitely am not, everyone needs to figure out what works for them. Working out after work for me is a great stress relief for the day.
Yep! This is what works for me... it may not work for you. Everyone is different so it's about adjusting to your own lifestyle and preferences.
Would you be able to discuss the difference between traditional and functional lifting? I think this is a topic you might enjoy talking about.
I came a little late this time but I'm here.
Thank you for the video. Best regards for you. You help a lot of people :)
Thanks for the video especially mentioning alcohol. It's literally a poison, but can be very addictive. They don't mix with fitness.
Newer viewer here, and love your videos, but have an off-topic question. Your surroundings are beautiful, and remind me of my former home in Tampa, or even the Northern Everglades. Where are you located?
Thanks, Julie!
I'm in San Diego.
Hey Kyle, loving this! Many will hear but few will listen. Lol. I quit over a year ago bringing any alcohol into the house. I will have a drink with friends on occasion. But I enjoy challenging myself with how long I go in b/t doing that. Sometimes 23 days, 17 days, 28 days, whatever. That works for me. Hope you’re doing well and sure looks like you are!
