    I’ve heard a lot of people saying” just do only 10 push ups” and I was like “cool amazing I can’t actually do one” “okay do knee push ups” “still nothing!” Finally a trainer showed me to do push ups against the wall and then a windowsill and then a bench and then the floor. Also I highly recommend- if you are going to go to a gyms- go to one that old folks go to. Those gyms have a “gotta keep this thing working” vibe rather than “I need to be better today than I was yesterday so I can be impressive!” vibes

      I feel very lucky to have found coaches that know how to scale any exercise to any ability. It's especially helpful when I have a mild injury (like an inflamed tendon) and they can give me a substitution. I wish more people knew about things like the pushup progression you mentioned.

    i think the biggest misconception is that workouts ONLY improve aesthetics, but actually it improves almost everything there is. Even 30 minutes of sports per WEEK, already gives you deeper, better sleep, hormones are more under control, u feel more energized overall, less tired, even mental capacity goes up, because exercise creates just as many new neuron onnections as intense studying does, better skin, better hair, better eyes, better everything, literally and the list goes on and on and on.

    Good for you man. One thing that you haven't listed that you should also probably consider is that it is a very good example to set for your daughter. I've never had any of the problems you listed because my dad was military and he "trained" us physically from the moment we could go running with him. I've always been in shape because it's a habit that I learned growing up. It's a part of me now.

    A good strategy is to have walking be your only mandatory daily requirement and then add on official workouts 3-4x per week as extra credit.
    When you get in the habit of daily basic movement like walking, that anyone can do for free, it elevates mood and overall health. So actual exercise seems less intimidating.

    Working out really has helped me with my mental health a lot more than I would've thought. The ability to go outside and not get consumed by anxiety about the way you look, the way you move and a million other things is incredibly freeing. It's not that I even look that different, you just get more confident with yourself with regular exercise. You feel like you've put in the work and everything else is out of your control, so you stop worrying about it as much.

      How has it done that exactly? Because it hasn't worked out that way for me at all.
      Just for context, I have been trying to exercise for the last...20 years on and off? I have done everything from big box gyms to dinky five-person Crossfit gyms. Biking, Kayaking, Running, Hiking etc.
      It all sucks, it all fizzles out after a year and I find the whole experience pointless. On top of that going to the gym tends to give me anxiety.
      I don't get where the good feelings come from. 🙁

And I'm always like, i tried that but it never works 😭 i even had a routine where i would go to 90-minute dance classes 3 days per week (loved the people, they were fun) and then go to the gym for supplementary strength training an additional 2-3 days. I kept this up for a little over a year straight. I was very fit, but it did nothing for my depression. Beyond that, i don't have a car so walking and biking are my primary modes of transportation.

    I think the end of the video is the one the the least mentioned but most important aspects of fitness. Most fitness content assumes you want to push yourself to your absolute peak, which is very hard. If you just want to exercise for health and wellness though, it quickly becomes much easier to maintain after the first year or too of building your body (which is also hard).

      Very true! It's one of my main motivators for trying to stay in half-decent shape.

    I had depression from when I was 15/16 to very recently when I was 24 (now Im 26). Working out was probably the biggest factor in overcoming it and is the biggest factor in maintaining my mental health. So yes ... people should work out. Its better for everything in your life.

    As much as I love the "aesthetic, bodybuilding" part of exercise and working out and everything, I do think the common view of working out from people who don't engage with it is JUST that side of it and that can be and is a turn off for a lot of people. I respect that you make a point to present exercise as a thing that can sort of be whatever you need it to and I'm sure for a lot of people "feeling better and having a little more energy" is enough of a reason to do it.

      I actually think that working out in general can be overwhelming at first. Going into the gym for the first time in your life and seeing all these trained people can be very intimidating. Working out is much more than just building muscles so i can only advise moderate training for everyone still being sceptical.

    Getting fit, getting into bodybuilding and powerlifting, has literally saved my life. It has helped me get through some of the darkest points of my life. Especially during the height of the pandemic, it was the only thing I really had control over. And the results of my efforts are tangible and measurable. I'm 36 and in the best shape of my life. I love working out. It's something I look forward to, not a tedious chore. Not to mention, I've learned a lot about human anatomy, kinesiology, and nutrition. It has been an intrinsically rewarding endeavor. That said, if you're going to work out and get fit, do it for yourself and no one else.

    The no time and no fitness excuses loomed over me until five months ago when I decided I'd do ~something~ once per day except on Sundays. Now here we are, enjoying the 4 daily exercises that started as 3! And adding some stretching and slowly pumping the reps up!
    For me the best part is feeling the changes rather than seeing them, like how carrying stuff that would leave me breathless last year is now easy.
    It also helps a lot to have an accountability buddy, even if really far away, and marking the exercises on the calendar, so the completionist in you won't let you skip a day even if it means squeezing it in right before sleep!

    I started a run streak on January 31st of this year and I’m still going strong! It has help me in so many aspects of my life especially my eating disorder. I’ve never felt better or had a better relationship with food. Plus it’s really cool getting to run around city I live in!

    You didn't ask, but I'm going to say it anyway. Until i started doing it very regularly, the biggest misconception I had about working out was that it was driven by self-hatred. A kind of thinking that went, "I hate my life and my body as it is right now and I want this exercise session to be how I can get to a point where I can finally deserve to love myself." After getting into a better mindset, I realized that exercise can be a celebration of my body as it is right now and that, with exercise, I'd learn more about my body and how it can change and, because of that knowledge gained, I'd be able to love my body even more fully.

      Working out is just a continual process of me surprising myself at how strong I am and reminding myself that I'm pushing myself to be a stronger and more capable person! The challenges I put myself through in a workout make me better at dealing with the challenges (physical and mental) that real-life throws my way. :)

    Congrats on sticking with it. I started at a similar place 80 weeks ago of never working out regularly, when I bought a Tonal home gym . I love the instructions, the AI keeping track of and adjusting the weights, and getting objective feedback that I’m improving (strength score). The gamification (strength score and PRs) keeps me motivated to do one more rep.

    I once did 431 consecutive days of exercise and thought I had it all figured out. Nope. But during Covid, I quit smoking, stopped drinking, and lost 60 lbs! Your videos just keep getting funnier- especially the 20000 steps! Used to dodge the geese on my walks around Silver Lake. When they have babies! Look out!!

    I started working out more and more consistently about 1.5 years ago, and about 1 year ago i started running every day. For the last few months ive switched to lifting weights, and lately ive been doing an hour of kettlebell swings every day at home in front of the tv, plus weights at the gym every other day. No rest days. I won’t ever go back to not exercising every day

    Running is a lifechanger. Like magic. Never thought of it like something fun. But it will be, once you get into the community and get some park runs or even a little 3,5 or any race. And i say it as an ex-acrobat and basketball player. Yes, running is not boring once you get into it. Took me half a year. Trail running will make you travel and see thing and experience them the way you've never felt before. This is worth training for. And journey will be a pleasure.

    I litterally watched your other work out videos just yesterday (found out about your channel only last week, sorry, should have found it waaaay earlier), saw the name of the app and couldn't find it on the app store. And now this video, updating me on the new name of the app. God, how the algorithm works in mysterious ways. Thanks. I will get on with watching this video now, but I had to get it off of my chest...

    A great way to get exercise without even noticing, is thinking about how you commute to work/school. Taking the bike instead of driving will make a huge difference, or even just driving half way, park the car, and then walk to work/school the rest of the way. The whole idea that exercise means you have to do push-up and jump around a room is a highly misunderstood viewpoint, and that's really what scares a lot of people from exercising. You just have to think about moving your body in a way that 'increases your heart rate and exerts your muscles', it's as simple as that.

    Your first video about CoPilot (back then DeltaTrainer) made me sign up for it. Never regretted it once. I absolutely LOVE my coach Grace and the personal approach the service offers. I just got back to it after having a baby and I was just beyond excited to start back up. So thank you, for the recommendation. And peeps, if you’re doubting, definitely give it a shot because you’re almost guaranteed to find a trainer that will help you start at your level and improve slowly. This is life and habit changing stuff y’all.

    Would have been nice to see how it has changed your body as well. Like, muscle and fat percentages, etc. I know it's kinda not the main point you were trying to make, but I find it interesting, since you've been tracking it for so long :)

    I'm still working on some sort of consistency, just started going to the gym for the first time last month, luckily its a 1 minute bikeride from me, so that helps. Could be downpouring and I still feel like I can go. And its great, I think the next step for me is to actually blend in some home workout stuff, or active rest days where I actually do something in the house, I think where I can get into a rut is when I have rest days (because I'm still super unfit, they can turn into 2 or 3 days from muscle soreness) so if I have days where I dont move at all, getting to the gym the next time can be harder than if I do SOMETHING at home in between! I'm glad for these videos though, you hit so many points that we all think, and then slam us with the simplest tips or insights that just, well, make sense, and feel actually doable.

    I have been working out for like 3 years until... I got a birthmark removed from my back, which prohibited workouts for almost a month (because of the placement of the stitches) and move to another country. It's been around 10 months now, that I am unable to resume my workouts properly. I started trying to introduce some walking on a stepping machine, though. Maybe I will be able to stick to it long enough, that I feel enough energy (both physical and mental) to resume other types of exercises as well.

    I just recently started counting my calories and going to the gym 5 days a week for some cardio
    I went from never working out and overeating every meal to doing that and I am down 16lbs in about 2 months
    I have literally been looking for something exactly like copilot because I feel lost doing anything but the treadmill at the gym
    I am 100% signing up and trying this week

    • @bodycounter9386
      @bodycounter9386 2 года назад +1

      I know the feeling of being lost in the gym back in the days. It is very helpful to get in touch with someone experienced who can sort your first training plan together with you. It's especially important to learn the correct techniques at the beginning. Good luck with trying out a Copilot.

  • @qwertyuiopaaaaaaa7
    @qwertyuiopaaaaaaa7 2 года назад +1

    Personally, working out makes me feel really self conscious. It reminds me of my body and that reminds me of the issues I have with my body.
    So, even when I enjoy exercise, it is often really bad for my mental health. There are very specific exercises that don’t cause that response.

    In february this year, a friend offered to make a workout plan for me. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was a great plan. I had never followed a plan before, but I realized I could never have worked out on the regular without a piece of paper telling me what to do. If I was left to decide what I "want" to do for my work out, the answer would always be nothing. But once I obey my paper, I have so much fun.

    hey craig, love your videos. they have truly helped me make so many necessary changes to my life. i’m getting better every day and you’re to blame!
    i just wanted to point out a little concern i have with the sponsored link. i clicked it to see if i would be interested in signing up, but it immediately takes you to an unskippable quiz that is functionally just copilot data harvesting.
    it’s a really small “problem”, and maybe i’m being over sensitive, but it did turn me off of the program a bit. maybe i’m wrong but i have to imagine other people felt similarly.
    i would have liked to have been able to read some stuff about the program, instead of immediately being put into a quiz that boosts their marketing info.
    i didn’t even get to see the cost of the program before they started trying to collect metrics from me.
    just a thought. i know you don’t have any control over that side of the link, but i also assume you didn’t know that that’s what happened & i wanted to let you know.
    still love your work, and i appreciate you more than i have words for. sorry that one of my few comments is a criticism.
