Thanks so much. I like to condense and present the key points for a better appreciation of the body. It's do darn amazing!!!

Thanks so much. That book took 2 years of research, writing, and editing. I appreciate your analysis. I am glad that you're reading the chapters as they build upon themselves. Do have a productive day.

Yes, it is disappointing. It's hard for a lot of people to really make changes that are lifestyle changes. It's a continual battle

Thanks Bev, and you’re right, have really put things into perspective.🙏

Maybe 2-3 times, after your other exercises

On my side l had a ski accident on Dec 21st and have been bedridden ever since. The orthopedic doctor says that l can't do any weight bearing until March! My guess is that l won't get back to the gym till April so it may take me 5 weeks to get my strength back 💪

@@bevmerriman2305 agh sorry to hear about this, wishing you a speedy recovery! 5 weeks to regain after 5 months out is not so bad, your mind - muscle connection must play a part in this. 💪

@@bevmerriman2305 I will be missing 2 weeks later this year while abroad! Will be following the 85/15 healthy / cheat food split and sounds like I’ll be ok. I thought I replied earlier but TH-cam hasn’t shown it. Get well soon, all the best with your recovery I can imagine it’s been hard for an active person.

I have read that but I don't subscribe to it. Saunas can dehydrate some people, and muscles have 75% water content. And even if it did, it is simply not enough when compared to the hypertrophic affect of lifting progressively heavier weights in the gym. If you think it is a substitute, I believe is not feasible.

@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041thank you 😊

Thanks so much. I have done a lot of research, but it involved many books, etc. I just thought it would be easier to put it all in one book. A book that is easy to read, and is not like a PhD thesis! Let me know if you learn from it.

I am thrilled that you learned from that video. I always try to make my videos informative. Unfortunately I have discovered that many simply can't listen to longer videos.

Well, most certainly rope skipping is a great exercise. Especially for your heart muscle (cardiovascular benefits), bones and general flexibility. It uses a lot of joints which is great. That said, you must add weight lifting to challenge the muscles with more stress than usual.

Yes, protein shakes or bars (I prefer the Quest brand) will help with the protein intake.

Thank you very much for this reassurance. I really trust your wisdom on this topic! I am making my way through your book and feel like a scientist 🤓. Will share thoughts once finished

Yes, strength training with progressively heavier weights over time is an excellent fat loss route. Still so some cardio, steady state or HIIT

Thanks so much for you comment. I appreciate the time taken to do that. I try to reduce topics to their basics, as I do in my book. No point in presenting a doctoral thesis!! haha, Do have a productive day, Bev.

Thanks for your assessment. I am thrilled that the video was of some use to you. I just did one today on macros when drinking milk. You many find it interesting. Do have a productive week, Bev.

Glad it was helpful! I appreciate the time you took to send that message. Do have a productive week, Bev.

Sorry about not responding earlier, just seeing this now. OK, the reality with cardio exercise is that you need oxygen to break down fat for energy. If there is insufficient oxygen, then the body has to get energy (oxygen) from somewhere. That's when it turns to stored carbs (glycogen) in muscle tissue to get that energy. Unfit people are just not oxidatively fit and so they can't use respiratory oxygen for very long. Additionally, an unfit body will cause increased cortisol stress hormones and they are fat-producing!! They should build up more muscle, which translates into more energy-producing mitochondria in their cells.. Also the myoglobin protein, which moves oxygen from your bloodstream into your muscle tissue, is increased through anaerobic weight-lifting exercise. LIft weights 80% of the time, and od cardio 20% of the time (do the cardio after weights so that you have more energy to lift heavier). HIIT works well to help stay aerobic on cardio machines. Hope this helps!! Bev.

Maybe one day! Thanks for your positive assessment. I see so many videos of people exercising that I thought I would try something different. I guess I could do some at the gym, but if I am talking and describing an exercise while I do it....I would probably have to get someone to video me.

Thanks for your kind assessment. My goal with these videos is to relay useful information in an easy-to-appreciate way. Have a great family-oriented day!!

Yes, often they do appear older. But that is not because their bodies have aged. It's related to the fact that they have a much lower body fat percentage which leads to less facial fat!

Ensure that you eat some carbs for fibre and glucose. Otherwise, you will get constipated, and your body will break down fat and amino acids into glucose. I wish you the best in the body sculpting war.

Thanks for your kind assessment. I have been on holiday, but I will get doing some videos this week. Have a healthy day and consider buying my book. Most videos are based upon it.

Thanks for your helpful input. Have a healthy day!!

Thanks, l am just trying to make the complex a little simpler to understand. Same approach l take with my book. If you lose weight gradually, it is much more sustainable.

I would suggest that you consume about 25% of your daily calories from fat. They click in at 9cal/gm.

Eating a lot of smaller meals

Thanks so much for your positive assessment. My husband cancelled my Quora access by accident. I only see the odd question now, a bit frustrating as I can't figure out how to access my account. And I don't want to create another one....in any case do enjoy. If you are on Instagram, you will see a bunch of posts that you may find of interest. Have a productive day!!!

@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041Thanks a lot, I'll follow you on Instagram right now

My usual expression l guess.😆🤣

Excellent, yes that video has really been very popular.

Success with reaching fitness goals is all about commitment. Without that, there is no success. You really have to want it.

@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041 🔥 YES!!! So you pretty much didn't work out for 60 years? And once you started, how did you have the ability to make a commitment? Can you make a video on that?

@@HelenaSummer Bev mentions in another video, vanity and looking good in her clothes was the source of her movation. We all need to find our “why” because it’s not an easy path at all

@@Parissolemn Yes, I get it... Not easy but worth it!

@@HelenaSummer yup and not wanting to lose the money she was spending on a personal trainer and gym that helped her too. Good luck! 🤞

It's NEVER too late. That is what my channel is all about. People seem to give up, but as you age, the building of muscle will lower your fat content and it will make you feel so fantastic. And you will look younger. I only opened to the door of a gym at the age of 60, and had reached my goals in 19 months. I am now 75 and still opening that door. I love it. I got to get off a whole whack of medications too.

No problem. I am thrilled you enjoyed the video. Have a productive and healthy day.

You are so welcome

Yes, 60 minutes of low impact cardio on your off days is great. Steady state.

Thanks very much. I try to keep them relatively short but still informative. Have a productive day.

Thanks so very much. I enjoy doing these videos even though it takes a bit of pre-planning to keep them relatively short but appropriately informative. Have a productive week.

Thanks, l forgot about this older video. But it was a good one and it took some pre-planning to keep it relatively short but still informative. Have a productive day.

Oh wow thanks, l am majorly honoured.

Yes, there are tons of different pushup variations. That one is quite advanced, not for the faint hearted 😂🤣

Yes, I always get a few laughs at the gym when I wear it. Glad you enjoyed the video. Have a productive weekend.

I bet you drink a ton of water, not eat sufficient carbs, and do a lot of cardio exercise. If no exercise, then you probably don't eat enough calories daily.

True skinny-fat people have low muscle mass and relatively high body fat leading to soft jiggly and/or saggy skin.

@@bevmerriman2305 omg yes. I started working out and i am seeing good results. But i need to check my carb intake :(

Don't skip carbs....just ensure that you are eating the complex type. Lots of veggies, but not too much fruit (maybe 1-2 per day max).

Great, happy it adds useful knowledge. That's my goal. Have a productive day.

Thanks, happy you found that informative. Another weird exercise that people do is to pull the lat pulldown bar BEHIND their head. It is really hard on the shoulders, in fact is a form of shearing. Some people have incredible mobility in the shoulders, but the majority of people should never be undertaking that exercise. It can cause long term trauma to the shoulder joint.

Thanks so much, this was an old video. My book came out in the meantime and has been doing well. I hope you have a productive week, Bev.

Have him take omega 6

@@bevmerriman2305 THANK U MAM VERY MUCH

Sorry, I meant how him take omega 3 (omega 6 is inflammatory and not good for weight loss). My apologies.

@@areyoufat-makingorcalorie-8041 he did not try any omega yet.

Well l guess omega6, since it is a weight-loss counter.

Anyone that wants to be fatter can just eat a lot of junk food, processed foods, fried foods, drink a bunch of liquor (especially if combined with carbonated soda of some sort)....and don't exercise much. That will alter your body fat percentage, gradually making it higher so that you are much less lean. Oh yeah, and don't eat a lot of protein.
