Hope you all had a good day! The thumbnail is the suit I wore for my wedding... I think. It took me a few tries to remember how to tie a tie (I always forget because I don't wear one often lol).
@@KeyshaunTV it was from a website called Tie a Tie or something. I first learned in business schools and while doing job interviews. There was a time in my life where, had I made a few different decisions, I'd have ended up wearing a suit and tie most days (instead of tanktop and flip-flops now, haha).
@@Kuryux I took some extra time making it because I thought it was funny! I guess I could have done the video wearing the suit but... Man it feels different.
I get so frustrated whenever I hear people say "We all have the same 24 hours." No, we do not. I am a single mother of two, one with cerebral palsy. I also work full-time, plus tutor, because we need the money. Sometimes I do not have even 30 minutes to dedicate to myself, and when I do, exercise isn't the priority. So this is going to help me a lot. Thanks!
Still one can make an effort. Just saying. I’m sure your life is extremely difficult, but sometimes you look past the I can’t and just go with I’m going to do it.
It is frustrating! Honestly if you only get 30 minutes to yourself in a day, then rest might sometimes be the healthier choice than cramming in a workout when you’re already burnt to the ground anyway. You can’t show up for yourself (or your loved ones) if you’re always exhausted and never allow yourself time to recover. I disagree with people who are trying to shame you for that I hope you have people in your life who can help with the kids and give you a break every now and then. Maybe inviting the kiddos to do some exercise with you could be fun depending on their interest and ability and make it a little bit easier to fit it into your schedule. Little bits here and there do add up Life is full of different phases and it’s okay if you aren’t able to perfectly optimize everything in every phase. I’m sure you’re doing great
We're sitting in cubicles, so we can do it by our desks, but you might just be able to go to the break room or storage room. If you get a group to do it, you can put up a chart to track progress or have a competition.
In my experience, the amount of time required for exercise isn't the limiting factor; it's the amount of time needed for rest and recovery. When you're busy to the point that getting enough sleep is a challenge, exercise feels like wearing down the body rather than building it up.
That's a good point and I understand that! When I get to these points, I usually take a break from fitness if it's a temporary period. If it's long-term, I try some lower impact exercises like walking(also can help mental health) and stretching. These can keep you moving without needing much time or energy for recovery. Maybe that can help at times?
I really appreciate how often you mention that fitness doesn't happen in a vacuum and sometimes it's going to be a better use of your time to focus on the basics of rest, nutrition, and stress management rather than only ever focusing on the fitness aspect. Getting enough rest, for me, is the basis of feeling able to do anything at all in life; if I'm not sleeping well, it doesn't matter how much effort I try to put into anything else in my life, I'm just going to be spinning my wheels. There's really nothing else more important for my wellbeing. I feel like our culture tends to deemphasize the importance of sleep, so I have to constantly remind myself that if I feel like I'm slipping down a long long hill, my starting point to stopping the slide always needs to be getting enough good quality sleep, and from there typically I can start getting everything else in order once I'm rested up.
And then you have the guys (who are absolutely natural and have only ever tried TRT once when they were in there teens with friends 🤣🤦♂️) like the Rock, who says he only ever gets 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night and eats 6000-8000 calories a day, you really start to wonder how they actually got there with only one shot back when they were a teenager. Lol Oh ya, and the first and only time he ever tried In and out Burger was the 4th time he'd been there. Such a great role model and so honest... 🤡
I’ve been doing 15 mins a day because between 3 kids that’s what I can fit in and it’s worked out so great that I’ve been consistent for 8 months straight! Longest I’ve ever gone without falling off. I swear by doing an exercise you enjoy, keeping it short, and making it EASY to fit into your day.
I do 3-5 minutes between sets or I get so out of breath I end up feeling sick LOL, 30 or 60 seconds is just totally unrealistic, especially to someone new to fitness, I hate when people say that's the right way to do it on social media
I often lose time because "I need to go do X thing soon, so I may as well scroll on my phone." Or "I don't have a big block of focused tim." But I'm finding that if I just start doing something useful in those little extra pieces of time, whether it is picking up the house or doing a set of exercises, I often end up having more time than I thought I did! 🥳
Calisthenics are a great option for people who don't have much free time. No need to drive to the gym or wait to use equipment. All you need is a pull-up bar and you can exercise from the comfort of your home. I use the Hybrid Routine + some extra exercises and have been feeling great lately.

After my twins were born, I haven't been able to go for my 5/6 am workouts. However, I'm now doing 30-40 minutes during my lunch break. 2 sets to failure for every excersize. I found I can have a pretty good workout, compared to the 1.5 hours I used to take.
I have 2 kids under the age of 5, and I'm a stay at home mom. Neither kid is in public school, so I'm always on the road. Ok so thanks to this channel I've been doing pushups and planks, and squats throughout the day.
I have 4 kids, 3 of whom are in private school, 1 is home with me, while I work from home (plus sports). I just started doing modified push ups, chair dips and jumping jacks throughout the day, since I'm not in shape enough to do 10 full minutes of jumping jacks, etc. So keep it up, Mama, every little bit helps!
It’s not just time, its the QUALITY of that time. 10 minutes on a free say versus 10 minutes in between tasks (work, school, volunteering, event, etc.) is very different because of where your focus is and how your energy is. I think this feeling of “I gotta optimize every moment of my day” just makes me so much more anxious and less energized because I like to give myself time in between tasks and at the end of the day to slow down and let my brain digest what we’ve just underwent. Filling it with more and more without stop is easy pickin’ for burnout and endless frustration. Another thing, we ain’t anybody else but ourselves. Do what works for you FOR yourself. Yeah all these people online give you advice but hell we’re not them and they’re not us. We don’t have the same exact upbringing nor goals. So find what works for you and do it. Anything working towards that goal is better than nothing at all.
Hey man, just wanted to say I really appreciate you and what you do for the community. Your humility is so nice to see and your joy for improving oneself is contagious. Low chances that you'll see this, but didn't want this to go unspoken. Much love, keep doing what you're doing.
I was tired today and didn’t want to work out. But I’ve made it a priority, so I did it. I left things I should’ve done, and worked out instead. I’m not tired like I was before. I feel great. Now I can have a good sleep and wake up feeling stronger. That’s why I prioritise my workout routine. I need it to get energy.
Thank you Hampton, that was really motivating! I have been a bit depressed since a few months. And you are reminded me that I have to go back to the basics, to get better. And it is true, I can find 10 minutes in my day to do a bit of workout. Thank you !
I have been doing the office workout thing for a few years now and I love it. I do sets interspersed with work all morning and it forces me out of my office chair and I feel better all day and it feels pretty easy to fit in.
A few months ago i luckily managed to apply a bunch of things that you mentioned on the video, and it REALLY helped me a lot to stay motivated and to keep with the routine week after week. In all of this time i was trying to do a transition from doing my workout on the gym to learn calisthenics, because i was not actually happy by doing exercices on gym, since i was just strugling with things that were considered basic, leading to knee and purse aches, and it was consuming alot of my time, which was messing up all of my schedule during this time and bringing me more stress over time, since that 2023 was my last year on high-school, and i was trying to get on a good university. Anyways, after quiting the gym and started to do calisthenics, i must confess that it was really hard in the begining, but when you released your app it helped me alot, because it had all explained very carefully with the texts, set recommendations and the videos that are from the channel, which helped me to interpret better how to do the exercises, and now i am seeing actually good results with my physical and mental health (which was very messed up, but doing exercises was an crucial part to make it better), and happily i managed to get on the university that i wanted. I really thank you for all of the effort and love that you put on your work here, it helped me to change my life and take good care of myself.
I don’t know why this popped up for my recs bc I've never looked into fitness youtubers. But the vibe here is immaculate. The attitude is so friendly and open. I dont know if this will fully nudge me to start habitual fitness bc I *do* genuinely feel I don't have time outside of my weekly walks across my neighborhood, but at the same time I kind of want to anyway? I at least want to watch your stuff to see you greater realm of content on burnout and foundations and see if I keep vibing with it. Thanks for the relaxed but informative style you have, it feels very honest and comfortable ❤
Thank you for a great peptalk and reminder! I have gotten used to giving myself a few minute breaks and doing posture and similar type exercises. However, recently, I’ve been using the time blocks attempt. I may start to focus on using my break times as it concentrated fitness break between work activities, something to help me really feel like I’m shifting out of work and back into myself. Building the habit of seeing myself as a priority is such an important foundation for living. Thank you for the reminder.
thank you for all your videos. Everytime i feel down, because I'm constantly exhausted and it's wearing my body down, i watch some of your videos and you always make me feel better and motivated to regularly exercise again. ❤
Another story here. When people say "I'd do it if I'd have the time". When I was working 2 jobs while going to school with having a sick family I'd still hit the gym at 23pm 3-4x a week. When I actually happened to have time decades later the opposite happened. It's kinda as when you have too much time everything becomes like early school. Yea you could study for that test in 2months today, but you can do it later. Just that in life there is no real deadline. I never struggled with health and healthy lifestyle as much as when I had the most time in my life. It wrecks havoc on my health.
I completely agree with what your saying bro. As years went on I haven't been able to train the same. But I know for a fact if I train with intensity using weight or reps I can gain. Overtraining can definitely be a thing as well. Gotta find a sweet spot
Thanks for this. As a teacher, I had a long summer break. I ate, drank and slept too much. But I did have time to exercise. And the return to work and stress has left me feeling unmotivated to go to the gym or even work out at home. Thanks for the video, it was good to get some perspective.
Daily morning Bible readings and stretches have started. Im in it for the stretches and positive energy. Starting a day on a positive note reduces the amount of effect negativity has on us throughout the day
Thank you:) A thing that helped me every now and then is just to convince me to do one sit-up. And once I do that, it is a lot easy to go from there because I already started.
Early! Thanks for the video, your one of my favorite fitness youtubers. It encourages people when you focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t.
Just did some leg raises while listening to this video. That's all I have time for today, but at least it's something! Thanks for the encouragement today :)
I used to have a very busy job so I started splitting my routines and it worked really well for me. This is what I did: 10min HIIT as soon as I wake up 7min core routine before lunch 30-40min main strenght training before dinner. Some days I wasn't able to do the main session but the HIIT was good enough to make me feel good both physically and emotionally.
Really love your app. It's honestly been the biggest and best change for my routine. Really hope you will continue to work on the app because I think it's the most accessible, with the built-in timer and everything.
I recommend looking into density training. Been doing this for few months and it’s a game changer. Pretty pick two exercises ex: squat and bench press. Pick a weight that’s moderate weight. Only do 5-6 reps. Go back and forth between each exercise, and instead of sets, set a timer. 10-12 mins. And boom full workout in little time
it is so true that you get gains when you only exercise for short amounts of time, since I subscribed here (about half a year) I have started doing 25 minutes 3 or 4 times a week, I go for a fairly high intensity, the only equipment I have is a door pull-up bar, 5kg dumbbells and a resistance band so it's not even cost me much, but even I'm surprised at how much difference it's made, and not just to how I look but to how I feel, if you read this I can't thank you enough 😀
i highly recommend doing supersets. they increase intensity and reduce time spend working out (you do less sets and less breaks) Example: do pec fly (can be done with machines, weights, resistance bands) till failure and then immediately go into pushing movement till failure (push ups / bench press etc.) repeat this cycle for 2-3 sets and this should be enough for your chest. I took this idea from video of Mike Mentzers workout and basically you start with isolation exercise and then go to compound exercise this way you can push targeted muscle really far
I'm a file clerk. We have metal shelving at work that came with packs of metal dividers that we don't use and never even unwrapped from the shrink plastic. Each one is almost 20 pounds. Sometimes I pick one up and do exercises with it 😄
I had what I'd say was my near perfect lifestyle and ended up losing it, no longer can i just do pull-ups in my living space, and it threw off my whole routine, because i couldn't come to terms with downgrading my workout in the meantime. I have finally come around, I get up 3 hours before work to run 3 times a week, running days I workout before bed, which in large I follow this channels recommended routine, and sometimes sneak extra things, but more importantly im stretching more.
Yep. I work out an hour after work around 6pm. I eat 3 hours prior to load up on energy and take coffee at 12noon, that's enough caffein to power through before sleep. Doing daily stuff allows for workouts too like at the grocery store. If you're not buying an ungodly amount of stuff, skip the cart and use the basket. That's like a dumbell or a kettlebell especially when you're filling it. Can be used for curls and squats, and other exercises that can be used like a dumbell or kettle bell ESPECIALLY when waiting in line.
My usual workouts are 1-5 minutes long (single movement/ support chains), 15 minutes when I have time and energy for multiple sets and/ or full body. This way I can do one every single day if I like and my body's ready. Growing and progressing that way for one year. 😊
I often don't have time to look at the time so I do things like standing on one leg while waiting in line or half running to and from the car, using stairs when it's an option
The video was good as ever but that t shirt sure got me for a minute thinking "nah man hampton isnt someone who would curse, right?" and then i noticed the "my friends" at the bottom in brackets, thats a good prank.
When I was still living at my parents’ house, I used to work out every day for an hour and was fit and at my best weight, but living alone brought their own set of difficulties when it comes to my fitness. I have to do everything on my own and on top of work, I have to do meal prep and chores as well as caring for my dog and cat. When I have any time to myself, I would rather play a videogame but I also want to get that energy boost I used to get when doing sports or a workout - I reckon I can do it through discipline because motivation is just lacking.
I love this and the comments… I am a father of 3 and husband work 10 plus hours and just life.. I haven’t work out in months.. I miss it but no time and even energy.. this was a amazing video
hampton is looking huge! i love your vids man, you actually try to help people instead of having sensational vids like x is killing your gains or promoting some bs supplement
I had to change jobs to get more time and bring down my stress levels. I then looked at how much I was sitting down watching TV/RUclips and incorporated walking/treadmill time in to this part.
I can’t recall where I saw this… It might have even been Hampton who said this… For people like me who tend to spend way too much time on screens , sometimes I will get strict with myself and only allow myself screen time if I am also exercising, such as doing planks or squats or dumbbells or whatever while also indulging in screen time. I would like to get more strict about this and continue to reduce screen time😊
I started in April this year. I work two jobs, homeschool and manage a homeschool group. I'm always busy, but i try to walk when I can. I've beaten myself up for not walking an hour like I want. But some days i can't get it in. I'm not going to give up though.
To save time instead of resting I just switch muscles, like, 10 reps muscle A, 10 reps muscle B. I've always wondered if maybe I'm doing a disservice to myself, but I'm happy to cut out some minutes and make it a bit more intense.
It's so hard. Daily I work 10 hr shifts, 3-4 hr commutes, leaving me with 2 hours to do things when I get back before sleep tax starts taking a toll on me. On top of that I need to spend 1.5-2 hrs to study for license exams so I have at most 30 mins. to exercise. That's enough for like a stretching session, no actual workout sessions. No social life or hobbies for my SO or friends. Something has to give because I'm exhausted every day, and it's often my sleep to get some social life/hobbies in. My only saving grace are the weekends, but two days don't seem like enough :((
It frustrates me all that "the same 24 hours" I see all influencers say. I kinda don't. I'm a med student, I'm trying my best to get time to workout, there are days I can't even get home so I take the day and try to go back.
@@Vollzeitnomaden It actually amazes me how capable and calm I'm doing things. I'm trying, I'm depressed, actually going to therapy because if it was for me I would be rotting in bed. 24 hours for me is just "not enough". Is it by choice? Yes, of course, but my brain is not fine and makes me live a dysfunctional life.
When i tell people i don't have the time and money i actually mean: I'm depressed, i need a work environment which doesn't drain me (which it couldn't even i had the money to change my profession) and a coach who gives me advice how to do this effectively, but i don't have the money for any of this. I don't even have the money to buy me a bike. And when i say i have no time, i mean people are judging me if i do this at work and i don't have the physical resources to find a way to relax after work and still workout in the needed amount.
I had to give up my expensive trainer when I went in on a condo with my boyfriend. I feel like my consistency at the gym died with this. If there is an appointment that I had to book in advance, and someone is expecting me and I paid 100 bucks for it, my list of excuses for not going dissolve. When its just me and I could technically just work out whenever… its so easy to convince myself later will be a better time. Later I will feel less exhausted, later I wont have indigestion, later I wont have a dinner to prepare. Imo, being able to afford a trainer everyday is a wealthy persons huge advantage. I hope I can actually hold myself accountable one day.
My grandfather is a 111 years old healthy man, no big diseases, Alhamdulillah. He always dis hard work like farming and ate and slept on time, he smoked tobacco upto 95/96, i think that’s the key, discipline
Hi Hampton! I was wondering, do you have any recommendations on fitness resources for people with disabilities who can’t safely do a lot of exercises “to failure”, but still want to become stronger and more functional? I have EDS so doing any sort of squatting/lifting/movement to failure risks joint injury for me. Thank you! 😊
To go to sleep early is a task. But when I hit the gym, I am automatically tired and I sleep early that day. So to get into that routine, just hit the gym even if you haven't slept well. You will sleep early that night and wake fresh the next day for a work out.
Genuinely, you are awesome for providing these valuable nuggets of truth. I've struggled with all that you have mentioned in this video and I can say what this guy is talking about is pure TRUTH.
After I saw the thumbnail, I really thought you are going to make a speech about Concord and Ubisoft, did not realize this was my other favorite long haired Asian youtuber
Last year I experienced an office syndrome, so I tried to fix it with pull up. Starts at 5 per day in 3 sets (2/2/1). Right now my office syndrome gets a lot better plus I could do 30+ pull up per day (13/10/10). Persistence, discipline, and home cooking helps a lot. It takes 30-60 mins per day for work out, the main struggles are cooking tbh 😂
Hi Hampton- I really enjoy your content! Do you have a video for an elderly woman with joint problems and obesity? I noticed that you had squats lying down with bands for a starting level. Do you have a whole body video with this type of very easy regression? Thanks!!

It’s not just time, its the QUALITY of that time. 10 minutes on a free say versus 10 minutes in between tasks (work, school, volunteering, event, etc.) is very different because of where your focus is and how your energy is.
I think this feeling of “I gotta optimize every moment of my day” just makes me so much more anxious and less energized because I like to give myself time in between tasks and at the end of the day to slow down and let my brain digest what we’ve just underwent. Filling it with more and more without stop is easy pickin’ for burnout and endless frustration.
Another thing, we ain’t anybody else but ourselves. Do what works for you FOR yourself. Yeah all these people online give you advice but hell we’re not them and they’re not us. We don’t have the same exact upbringing nor goals. So find what works for you and do it. Anything working towards that goal is better than nothing at all.
Hey man, just wanted to say I really appreciate you and what you do for the community. Your humility is so nice to see and your joy for improving oneself is contagious. Low chances that you'll see this, but didn't want this to go unspoken. Much love, keep doing what you're doing.
I was tired today and didn’t want to work out.
But I’ve made it a priority, so I did it. I left things I should’ve done, and worked out instead.
I’m not tired like I was before. I feel great. Now I can have a good sleep and wake up feeling stronger.
That’s why I prioritise my workout routine. I need it to get energy.
Thank you Hampton, that was really motivating! I have been a bit depressed since a few months. And you are reminded me that I have to go back to the basics, to get better. And it is true, I can find 10 minutes in my day to do a bit of workout. Thank you !
Hampton, you rock! As many people already said: you are so empathetic and caring in your delivery. I hope you're doing amazing.
I have been doing the office workout thing for a few years now and I love it. I do sets interspersed with work all morning and it forces me out of my office chair and I feel better all day and it feels pretty easy to fit in.
This was super practical, the kind of practicality that only comes from a place of deep empathy. Respect 🙏
Your channel is such a dose of positivity!
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Finding time to work out with a busy schedule can be tough, but these tips are super helpful.
A few months ago i luckily managed to apply a bunch of things that you mentioned on the video, and it REALLY helped me a lot to stay motivated and to keep with the routine week after week. In all of this time i was trying to do a transition from doing my workout on the gym to learn calisthenics, because i was not actually happy by doing exercices on gym, since i was just strugling with things that were considered basic, leading to knee and purse aches, and it was consuming alot of my time, which was messing up all of my schedule during this time and bringing me more stress over time, since that 2023 was my last year on high-school, and i was trying to get on a good university. Anyways, after quiting the gym and started to do calisthenics, i must confess that it was really hard in the begining, but when you released your app it helped me alot, because it had all explained very carefully with the texts, set recommendations and the videos that are from the channel, which helped me to interpret better how to do the exercises, and now i am seeing actually good results with my physical and mental health (which was very messed up, but doing exercises was an crucial part to make it better), and happily i managed to get on the university that i wanted. I really thank you for all of the effort and love that you put on your work here, it helped me to change my life and take good care of myself.
Great advice on prioritizing fitness despite a hectic lifestyle. It’s all about making small changes that add up over time.
I don’t know why this popped up for my recs bc I've never looked into fitness youtubers. But the vibe here is immaculate. The attitude is so friendly and open. I dont know if this will fully nudge me to start habitual fitness bc I *do* genuinely feel I don't have time outside of my weekly walks across my neighborhood, but at the same time I kind of want to anyway? I at least want to watch your stuff to see you greater realm of content on burnout and foundations and see if I keep vibing with it. Thanks for the relaxed but informative style you have, it feels very honest and comfortable ❤
Thank you for a great peptalk and reminder! I have gotten used to giving myself a few minute breaks and doing posture and similar type exercises. However, recently, I’ve been using the time blocks attempt. I may start to focus on using my break times as it concentrated fitness break between work activities, something to help me really feel like I’m shifting out of work and back into myself.
Building the habit of seeing myself as a priority is such an important foundation for living. Thank you for the reminder.
thank you for all your videos. Everytime i feel down, because I'm constantly exhausted and it's wearing my body down, i watch some of your videos and you always make me feel better and motivated to regularly exercise again. ❤
Another story here. When people say "I'd do it if I'd have the time". When I was working 2 jobs while going to school with having a sick family I'd still hit the gym at 23pm 3-4x a week.
When I actually happened to have time decades later the opposite happened. It's kinda as when you have too much time everything becomes like early school. Yea you could study for that test in 2months today, but you can do it later. Just that in life there is no real deadline. I never struggled with health and healthy lifestyle as much as when I had the most time in my life. It wrecks havoc on my health.
Haven’t seen your videos in a minute, I’m glad you’re doing well. Much love 🙌🏾💞
I completely agree with what your saying bro. As years went on I haven't been able to train the same. But I know for a fact if I train with intensity using weight or reps I can gain. Overtraining can definitely be a thing as well. Gotta find a sweet spot
Thanks for this. As a teacher, I had a long summer break. I ate, drank and slept too much. But I did have time to exercise. And the return to work and stress has left me feeling unmotivated to go to the gym or even work out at home. Thanks for the video, it was good to get some perspective.
thanks man for teaching fitness in a very positive light.
I just discovered your videos through your shorts. I really like your communication style.
Daily morning Bible readings and stretches have started.
Im in it for the stretches and positive energy. Starting a day on a positive note reduces the amount of effect negativity has on us throughout the day
Thank you:)
A thing that helped me every now and then is just to convince me to do one sit-up. And once I do that, it is a lot easy to go from there because I already started.
I just downloaded the app the other day and did my first two exercises. I love it, especially the stopwatch for the rest period between reps 👍❤️
Young Man you are a remarkable human being.
Early! Thanks for the video, your one of my favorite fitness youtubers. It encourages people when you focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t.
Just did some leg raises while listening to this video. That's all I have time for today, but at least it's something! Thanks for the encouragement today :)
I used to have a very busy job so I started splitting my routines and it worked really well for me. This is what I did:
10min HIIT as soon as I wake up
7min core routine before lunch
30-40min main strenght training before dinner.
Some days I wasn't able to do the main session but the HIIT was good enough to make me feel good both physically and emotionally.
Really love your app. It's honestly been the biggest and best change for my routine. Really hope you will continue to work on the app because I think it's the most accessible, with the built-in timer and everything.
I recommend looking into density training. Been doing this for few months and it’s a game changer. Pretty pick two exercises ex: squat and bench press. Pick a weight that’s moderate weight. Only do 5-6 reps. Go back and forth between each exercise, and instead of sets, set a timer. 10-12 mins. And boom full workout in little time
it is so true that you get gains when you only exercise for short amounts of time, since I subscribed here (about half a year) I have started doing 25 minutes 3 or 4 times a week, I go for a fairly high intensity, the only equipment I have is a door pull-up bar, 5kg dumbbells and a resistance band so it's not even cost me much, but even I'm surprised at how much difference it's made, and not just to how I look but to how I feel, if you read this I can't thank you enough 😀
i highly recommend doing supersets. they increase intensity and reduce time spend working out (you do less sets and less breaks) Example: do pec fly (can be done with machines, weights, resistance bands) till failure and then immediately go into pushing movement till failure (push ups / bench press etc.) repeat this cycle for 2-3 sets and this should be enough for your chest. I took this idea from video of Mike Mentzers workout and basically you start with isolation exercise and then go to compound exercise this way you can push targeted muscle really far
I'm a file clerk. We have metal shelving at work that came with packs of metal dividers that we don't use and never even unwrapped from the shrink plastic. Each one is almost 20 pounds. Sometimes I pick one up and do exercises with it 😄
That is so cool😊
Me doing bicep curls and round the worlds with the bottles of screen wash at my work 😂
I had what I'd say was my near perfect lifestyle and ended up losing it, no longer can i just do pull-ups in my living space, and it threw off my whole routine, because i couldn't come to terms with downgrading my workout in the meantime.
I have finally come around, I get up 3 hours before work to run 3 times a week, running days I workout before bed, which in large I follow this channels recommended routine, and sometimes sneak extra things, but more importantly im stretching more.
Yep. I work out an hour after work around 6pm. I eat 3 hours prior to load up on energy and take coffee at 12noon, that's enough caffein to power through before sleep. Doing daily stuff allows for workouts too like at the grocery store. If you're not buying an ungodly amount of stuff, skip the cart and use the basket. That's like a dumbell or a kettlebell especially when you're filling it. Can be used for curls and squats, and other exercises that can be used like a dumbell or kettle bell ESPECIALLY when waiting in line.
As a German I was very amused to hear you use the phrase "inner pig dog" :D
Woah, This is literally exactly what I needed! Thanks Hampton!!
Thank you for suggesting that I do Squats while maintaining eye contact. This should definitely establish my dominance.
My usual workouts are 1-5 minutes long (single movement/ support chains), 15 minutes when I have time and energy for multiple sets and/ or full body. This way I can do one every single day if I like and my body's ready. Growing and progressing that way for one year. 😊
I liked the change of background, that was nice and organic
I often don't have time to look at the time so I do things like standing on one leg while waiting in line or half running to and from the car, using stairs when it's an option
Just what I needed, thanks Hampton! Hope all is well 💜
The video was good as ever but that t shirt sure got me for a minute thinking "nah man hampton isnt someone who would curse, right?" and then i noticed the "my friends" at the bottom in brackets, thats a good prank.
When I was still living at my parents’ house, I used to work out every day for an hour and was fit and at my best weight, but living alone brought their own set of difficulties when it comes to my fitness. I have to do everything on my own and on top of work, I have to do meal prep and chores as well as caring for my dog and cat. When I have any time to myself, I would rather play a videogame but I also want to get that energy boost I used to get when doing sports or a workout - I reckon I can do it through discipline because motivation is just lacking.
You changed my life, best trainer in the world, i love the hybrid routine ❤
You literally are a very good friend from the other part of the world
Much love from italy ❤ and thank you for your videos!!!
Your videos are always very nice to see
I love this and the comments… I am a father of 3 and husband work 10 plus hours and just life.. I haven’t work out in months.. I miss it but no time and even energy.. this was a amazing video
hampton is looking huge! i love your vids man, you actually try to help people instead of having sensational vids like x is killing your gains or promoting some bs supplement
Yes, thanks 🙏
This video just came on time 🎉
You are awesome 🤩
Hampton I love your attitude and shirt! ❤
I had to change jobs to get more time and bring down my stress levels.
I then looked at how much I was sitting down watching TV/RUclips and incorporated walking/treadmill time in to this part.
I can’t recall where I saw this… It might have even been Hampton who said this…
For people like me who tend to spend way too much time on screens , sometimes I will get strict with myself and only allow myself screen time if I am also exercising, such as doing planks or squats or dumbbells or whatever while also indulging in screen time.
I would like to get more strict about this and continue to reduce screen time😊
I love your shirt!
That thumbnail is 10/10
I started in April this year. I work two jobs, homeschool and manage a homeschool group. I'm always busy, but i try to walk when I can.
I've beaten myself up for not walking an hour like I want. But some days i can't get it in.
I'm not going to give up though.
To save time instead of resting I just switch muscles, like, 10 reps muscle A, 10 reps muscle B. I've always wondered if maybe I'm doing a disservice to myself, but I'm happy to cut out some minutes and make it a bit more intense.
It's so hard. Daily I work 10 hr shifts, 3-4 hr commutes, leaving me with 2 hours to do things when I get back before sleep tax starts taking a toll on me. On top of that I need to spend 1.5-2 hrs to study for license exams so I have at most 30 mins. to exercise. That's enough for like a stretching session, no actual workout sessions. No social life or hobbies for my SO or friends. Something has to give because I'm exhausted every day, and it's often my sleep to get some social life/hobbies in. My only saving grace are the weekends, but two days don't seem like enough :((
Is a new job in the cards for you at all? 10 hour shifts okay, but that long of a commute is just unsustainable, tbh.
It frustrates me all that "the same 24 hours" I see all influencers say. I kinda don't. I'm a med student, I'm trying my best to get time to workout, there are days I can't even get home so I take the day and try to go back.
Well... But you still have the same 24 hours though? You are prioritising getting a degree, yes. By choice. Still, same hours in a day.
@@Vollzeitnomaden It actually amazes me how capable and calm I'm doing things. I'm trying, I'm depressed, actually going to therapy because if it was for me I would be rotting in bed. 24 hours for me is just "not enough". Is it by choice? Yes, of course, but my brain is not fine and makes me live a dysfunctional life.
Another banger of a video. Thanks Hampton and HC crew!
I haven't even watched the video yet, but bro - that thumbnail pic made me smile and laugh (and click)! Great work already, Hampton.
I love this. Thank you so much!
*needs to get that tank*
Great video, practical advice ☀️💪
When i tell people i don't have the time and money i actually mean: I'm depressed, i need a work environment which doesn't drain me (which it couldn't even i had the money to change my profession) and a coach who gives me advice how to do this effectively, but i don't have the money for any of this. I don't even have the money to buy me a bike. And when i say i have no time, i mean people are judging me if i do this at work and i don't have the physical resources to find a way to relax after work and still workout in the needed amount.
Remember that calorie counting and exercise is always a slow process that requires persistence more than anything else, Ladies and Gentlemen
I had to give up my expensive trainer when I went in on a condo with my boyfriend. I feel like my consistency at the gym died with this. If there is an appointment that I had to book in advance, and someone is expecting me and I paid 100 bucks for it, my list of excuses for not going dissolve. When its just me and I could technically just work out whenever… its so easy to convince myself later will be a better time. Later I will feel less exhausted, later I wont have indigestion, later I wont have a dinner to prepare. Imo, being able to afford a trainer everyday is a wealthy persons huge advantage. I hope I can actually hold myself accountable one day.
That t-shirt 😂😂😂😂
My grandfather is a 111 years old healthy man, no big diseases, Alhamdulillah.
He always dis hard work like farming and ate and slept on time, he smoked tobacco upto 95/96, i think that’s the key, discipline
thank you for this !!
Downloaded the app
Thank you, Hampton❤
The thumbnails keep getting better.
Hi Hampton! I was wondering, do you have any recommendations on fitness resources for people with disabilities who can’t safely do a lot of exercises “to failure”, but still want to become stronger and more functional? I have EDS so doing any sort of squatting/lifting/movement to failure risks joint injury for me. Thank you! 😊
LOL 😂 like that tank top
To go to sleep early is a task. But when I hit the gym, I am automatically tired and I sleep early that day. So to get into that routine, just hit the gym even if you haven't slept well. You will sleep early that night and wake fresh the next day for a work out.
Genuinely, you are awesome for providing these valuable nuggets of truth.
I've struggled with all that you have mentioned in this video and I can say what this guy is talking about is pure TRUTH.
After I saw the thumbnail, I really thought you are going to make a speech about Concord and Ubisoft, did not realize this was my other favorite long haired Asian youtuber
I like the changed thumbnail lol, both are so cool 😊
never be too busy for your health.
I work five minutes a day on my abs. After a month I got a solid six pack
Wow 👌 love it.😀 😍 👏 ❤️ 💖.
I used to do pushups while waiting for the shower water to heat up lol
Surprise language lesson for me :P
I did not no that "my inner pigdog" is an expression used in English. I learned something ^^
I really want that "Hello MF's" tshirt 😂
When I am pressed for time I the Arnor Building Complex with kettlebells. 15 mins EMOM and you are well worked by the end.
Thank you sir!
Last year I experienced an office syndrome, so I tried to fix it with pull up. Starts at 5 per day in 3 sets (2/2/1). Right now my office syndrome gets a lot better plus I could do 30+ pull up per day (13/10/10). Persistence, discipline, and home cooking helps a lot. It takes 30-60 mins per day for work out, the main struggles are cooking tbh 😂
Hi Hampton- I really enjoy your content! Do you have a video for an elderly woman with joint problems and obesity? I noticed that you had squats lying down with bands for a starting level. Do you have a whole body video with this type of very easy regression? Thanks!!
