You've helped 1000's of people get exercising with these videos. We love being a part of it! And we can't wait to sponsor the "Working Out for 5000 Days" video 🙂
As someone who has heard about CoPilot through Craig, and waited til it was available on Android, and then signed up because of him... Yeah. He's helped me workout again
Copilot, your trainers are incompetent. Watching Craig incorrectly performing nearly every single movement in his program (of the ones that he records for us to watch) is incredibly painful for those of us who have taken the time to educate ourselves on how to perform hypertrophy training in a way that ACTUALLY PRODUCES RESULTS. You have had him spinning his wheels - wasting his time, effort and energy - on a horrendously sub-optimally executed training program for over three years now. Where are the results? It would be nice if Nathaniel had at least a modicum of a clue as to what he is doing. It would be great if he could actually stay up date with sports science. But I don't see any of that happening. Your app is a joke and you are screwing over everyone who purchases it.
i joined because of his video but now my coach messed me up and got to go to physical therapy to undo what the coach did. According to app and coach, i did it correctly. they keep forgetting anything told them 2 days or less later, they kept re adding items i cant yet do etc. but i at least gave it a try and people wanting has to keep in mind what it is when the trial ends....i paid several months if $99 bucks to just get messed up. and it is currently NOT good
100% agree. I resisted working out for most of my life. Then came the pre-diabetic diagnosis. I committed to 20 minutes a day of any activity, because let's face it, many of us waste more time than that multiple times a day. After 6 months of consistent exercise and eating better, I lost a lot of weight, I'm no longer pre- diabetic and I feel better, mentLly and physically. There is no easy button. It takes work and committment. Thanks for always motivating me!
The thing that motivates me is that I am training for my 80 year old body, not my summer body. Doing it in the am is key and I am the opposite of a morning person.
One thing that really helped me get into exercising regularly was realizing that working out doesn't just mean lifting weights in a gym. There are a million ways to exercise, and some of them are really fun. Most sports are a great form of cardio, and rock climbing and ninja warrior gyms can be a blast. Exercising doesn't have to be boring unless you want it to be.
I think the most important thing on the list is number 4. I hate running, but I’ve done it every day for over 5 years now. Once I gave up on ever hitting a ‘runner’s high’ or my run being ‘the best part of my day’ and just embraced the suck, I became much more consistent.
Another tip: find a workout you enjoy! You don’t have to go to the gym if you really dislike going, you can try to find something (or multiple sports) that you like better. It took me a long time, but now that I discovered bouldering, yoga, cycling and hiking I am more motivated to keep moving than ever before!💪🏼
I'm currently at day #1185. The Covid lock downs and a 3 month furlough nearly drove me crazy with anxiety, so I channeled that energy into exercise and diet. But yeah, absolutely correct - do something every day. Doesn't have to be a marathon, just don't stop moving.
That's awesome. I'm currently on my first ever Covid and it's really miserable. Even though my isolation period is over I still am unwell. It's been really a downer because I was just getting on that consistency. Well done to you for channeling that for something positive instead. Your comment inspired me to at least take a short walk today. Hopefully I'll walk the Covid out or something. Have a good day!!!
@@hb7967 Every day, a rotating schedule to allow muscle groups time to repair between sets. And when I'm travelling it might be something as simple as walking, normally 10-25k steps per day.
Instead of forcing myself to something I don't like I tried a lot of stuff and found something that I don't hate. It's not perfect, and it's probably "not enough", but at least I move my body more than I used to. I loved swimming as a kid, so why not do it as an adult? It's awesome and has helped me get back on track, even if it's not as consistent as I used to be. Congrats on your extreme consistency that you are flaunting in our faces you show-off! No, really, congrats tho :) You don't have to hate it, you just have to find something that you don't hate too much.
I signed up for copilot bc of wheezy and have been working out 4 days a week since April! It’s a big deal to me to have stuck to this as well as I have, and it has drastically improved my anxiety levels.
I work out for just 10 minutes every morning, using a YT-video. It's easy to start even when I don't want to, because it's only 10 minutes. In my experience, consistently doing something is the most important, even if it's just a little bit at a time. I work out just 10 minutes a day but it helps me feel a lot better!
Yo Wheezy i have been watching your videos for ages, i signed up for co-pilot after hearing you say it was good. I’m 35 days in and going strong. Thanks man 👍🏼😎
I love these videos. They've really motivated me to keep going back to exercising when I start to get lax. I think I disagree with the willful versus unwillful suffering personally. I saw my mom who ate healthy and worked out regularly for decades have a massive stroke at 57. She thankfully survived, though she is partially paralyzed now. You can do everything right and still face unwillful suffering. I don't think it's finite. I was a CNA and saw people smoke and drink daily for 70 years and die peacefully in their sleep. You can do a lot wrong and still have life go fine. What I did see though was her willfully suffering made her more resilient in the face of unwillful suffering. She had the mindset to get through PT and OT when others started to drop out. She and my dad have continued to travel and enjoy their passions as they're able. And I know that's because willful suffering helped her practice accepting suffering and go on - which translated to unwilful suffering too. That's part of what motivates me is knowing that it undoubtedly helps me build the mentality that will make unwillful suffering more bearable. I've already seen the impacts of that in small ways. So much of exercise is mental it's wild. Anywho - thanks for the great video and the kick in the butt I needed today!
1- I'm so glad you're making videos still. I've been watching on and off for years, and I still love it. 2- I joined copilot because of you, and now I have arm boobs too! Thanks for the recommendation / sponsorship!
And another thing, as I've gotten older, I've started to think of fitness more in line with the sports I did in high school. It doesn't always have to be all about straight exercise. Like you can move into a "season" where you focus on a specialty that isn't just lifting weights. For instance, do weights for an "off-season" and then just maintain and focus on a technical physical skill like shooting hoops, or scoring goals, or playing catch with your son every day to get him better at baseball, but I think that approach has helped me from having fitness get stale like it has in the past and then losing my progress.
I love going to shower at the gym after a hard workout. You leave the gym feeling new. I also love meeting up with other friends to share our workout routines, and different gyms. I also struggle to keep weight on so we always go and eat a ton afterwards.
You’re literally the reason I decided to join copilot. My coach Ryan is awesome. Thank you for introducing me to the thing that is helping me achieve my goals 🎉
Preach. 🙌I've worked out 6 days a week for years. I hate working out. But I'm in my 40s and feel fab and my peers in my age group are starting to not look/feel so great. There is starting to be a very marked separation between those who eat well and exercise and those who don't.
This comment is my whole motivation. Since the early 2000s I have had a sedentary office position. Within weeks, I noticed the grazing and lack of movement. I tell myself, no grazing at the desk. Spend my breaks and lunches going for a walk. Take time to stretch. I do not wanna end up lumpy, dumpy, waddling hunched back as I age.
How fortuitous of me - I *literally* signed up for CoPilot on Tuesday evening because of your previous exercising videos (and How to ADHD's exercising videos, too.) My niblings are getting a little heavy to carry and I'd like to push off that inevitable tragedy for as long as I can 😅
I got clued into CoPilot from your video in 2020 and signed up in 2021. Since then I've worked out more than half of the days with programs from my coach. Thanks Wheezy and thank you CoPilot!
One thing that helped me a lot when I first started working out was that the gym instructor there made sure I was going easy enough at first, so that I wouldn't feel the initial pain you mentioned. Especially to avoid joint pain. I learned the importance of that after I quit the first time and got back to training without the instructor supervision...put too much weight and got f*ckd. There's no need to rush... progressive overload is key.
And advice for people that may have hurdles, mental and physical health issues, it's ok to have days off, it's ok to have all day in bed days, it's ok to have your routine going like a roller coaster. My minimum exercise is work (nurse ward very heavy workload), muay Thai 2x a week, and if health-able gym/run/walk. But also reeeeest.
I love what you said about willful suffering. I started karate at about 44 in addition to daily walking, and I love it, but I am also feeling old, and I keep random injuries, and that makes me wonder if I'm just too old to be doing karate. But it makes me feel so good. And you're right. I'd rather twist my ankle and fall on my rear than have a heart attack.
The cool thing about martial arts is that you can really do it however it best suits you. I started Tae kwon do with my mom. I was 14, she was almost 60. We both focused on completely different things, but got so much out of it. It was pretty awesome.
I’m in my mid-20s and have been working out regularly for many years. Maybe it’s weird, but it’s become a hobby, and I don’t feel like I need to motivate myself to do it. I just love to exercise. And I’m hoping I can continue this as I age.
Real talk, Wheezy convinced me to join CoPilot and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. My trainer Jackie has worked with me through injury, depression, and all of the other calamities of life. It’s much cheaper than a regular trainer. If you can, invest in this for yourself.
Also, 9:57 Wink. A-ma-zing. How do you incorporate walking your dog in your day, @Wheezywaiter? I guessed when you were counting steps, that must be part of it. But for the "Work outs" though-is walking your dog a part of that? I just wondered because I remember you called the Co-Pilot workouts as "strength building". I guess my question is more about how CoPilot/Nathaniel thinks of it, and also you did not mention that in your "how capable you are" sublist? Is it not really a workout for you at all? I do exercise for the exercise's sake as well but I personally count in my dog walkings into it. They are a handful and I really have to motivate myself strongly about it. My psycological reaction is very similar and my heartrate go up, sometimes as hard as when I'm exercising at a gym. So it made sense I count it as part of my exercise routine. I know this comment is already long, but I have a feeling you might not count it as "exercise," strictly speaking. If you don't, is it because you are used to walking dogs before CoPilot came into your (our) life (lives) anyway? Do you see fitness stats after walking your dog? How often and how long are your walks... Okay that should be all. PSTA!!! And thank you.
Exercising for its own sake has always seemed pointless to me. Then I realised I could… do other things. And then found out that in order to taking horse-riding lessons I had to lose 12 kilos. Having an existing, barely used gym membership from an aspirational-phase sign-up really helped with that. I swam most days in summer, then my schedule changed so I went to night gym classes (boxing/circuit) twice a week. Now I’m doing fortnightly riding lessons! I also workout with a friend 2 days a week, just lil at-home dance workouts, or a half hour walk. I would also love to do kyudo if there was a “club” in my area, but alas. There is an archery place though, so I’m doing their safety course in September with my brother and some friends. Find something you will enjoy and make space for it - your workout/s can be a hobby and/or social, and vice versa; even smth like gardening can be pretty intensive. I know I’m happier doing it that way.
Stumbled back on to your channel after several years. Same humor after all these years 😂 Glad your thriving - and now I got helpful tips to start working out. Wins all around.
Man, I'm really struggling getting back to my workout routine since having a baby a year ago. I used to workout 5 days a week. This is really motivational. Thanks.
I took about a year off after my son came. It's just such a disruption to life as you know it and overwleming when a little one is added that it takes time to readjust. What got me back into the swing was committing just 10-15 minutes 3 days a week. Once I got that down, I added time and days, but I needed the bite-sized sessions to get back into the routine first. Good luck!
Exactly. At my mid-40s and I decided to get back into cardio shape and do the normal workout thing, simply because genetics-wise, my family gets to pretty elderly ages, and I didn't exactly cherish the thought of 25 or 30 years at extremely diminished capacity. I'm doing this for older me, to make my older years not suck so hard.
The best part of my work out is that I am 100% thinking about the workout I am doing while I am doing it. It is therapy for me and allows me to face the rest of the day with a clearer mind.
I stopped running a year ago because of depression, I used to be able to do 5k in 20 mins or so. Now I can barley jog for 5 minutes. I think it’s time to change that 🎉
Just hopped back on the health train and decided to do a mini workout while I watched this vid for the 5th time. Thanks for the inspo as always, Wheezy. I’ve been a fan since the bananas on the fridge days 😂
8:25 If you want to delay that suffering, cut your sitting time to 3 and a half hours a day. That's it. Be. Less. Sedentary. MUCH less. Fill your time with long walks, house chores, cleaning your car, washing windows, cooking, laundry, anything you can think of that keeps you on your feet but not standing for hours at a time. You can be stood at your computer for a while but make sure that it, plus the keyboard and mouse are the right height or your posture and wrists will suffer.
I like willful suffering vs unwillful suffering a lot - I have hip pain that led to physical therapy and the longest-running, most consistent workout routine I’ve ever had. I’m still not perfectly consistent and need motivation, but it’s either controlled workout pain or chronic can’t-be-controlled hip pain. But I’ve never thought about it as control vs uncontrolled until now.
I'm only just a few weeks into my physical therapy suggested running, starting 1 day a week, running 1k. I'm honestly glad to hear it's working for someone because I've already had a flare up, and need to slow it all down a bit. But I know I'll figure it out!
I’ve been watching your copilot partnership for years and today you finally wore me down, you scamp. Kind of love that I still have never heard of this app outside your partnership with them…which to me implies that they’re good eggs. Excited to see how it goes 😎
willfull suffering vs unwillful suffering: that's an interesting way to put it. Although I"m suffering this week because i must have pulled something in my hip, glute area working out. UGH i can do without this sort of suffering lol!
At the end, that acronym literally should have been pasta if there was another A word stuck in there. But you don't wanna think about pasta during your workouts. LOL
"I care about more intellectual things, like Zelda" I've managed to maintain my 4-day a week workout routine whilst simultaneously playing the S*%^ out of Tears of the Kingdom. Balance 💁♂
Will give your tips a shot, I used to work out more regularly but couldn't be bothered and now have some pains in the back that will require working out more to go away. Life is suffering.
“The pain of discipline or the pain of regret”. Hopefully there’ll be an underlying reason/drive for the choice that will make it suck less. Like watching ones wife go blind from diabetes.
ProTip: Your activity doesn't need to be running, jogging or the gym/weight lifting. You can join a rec league sport like badminton, basketball, dodgeball or a dance group or a paintball group and run around safely shooting people with paint. Keep fit and have fun!
Nobody asked but here is what I do... I try to make a plan to avoid fighting my own motivation and willpower. I go to bed at 22 the day before, and wake up at 6 in the morning, drink 1 glass of water, take a 1.5 hour walk, walk to work, wait until around 12 before having breakfast, home from work and chill, eat, wait, walk another 1.5 hour trip somewhere between 18 and 19, come home, chill, go to bed, repeat. If you feel hungry before 12, if it feels bad, eat, if not, wait. If you go to bed at 23, wake up at 7 and adjust. If you want to add strength training, skip trip nr 2, make sure you eat something 1-2 hours before, and do it right after work. The funny thing is that the morning walk feels like it's free, and since the time between the first and the second trip is so long, by body is ready again.
I've been doing 10,000 steps a day this whole year. I'm hanging in there. The strange thing is that it hasn't really helped my cardio at all. I still get winded instantly if I do any running or major exercises. I need to work on that, and it's been the biggest struggle.
Dare to be pointless? More like: disappointless! But also dare to be pointless because I’d prefer that merch to be back because my T-shirt is washed out and I am still daringly pointless. Trivia: In my country we literally call the “fire hydrant” the “pissing dog”. Less subtle I guess.
I got up the other morning, put my clothes on, went outside to my stationary bike and almost brought it in to work out. I paused there thinking about how much I didn't want to work out. Maybe if I had had your mantra in my head I would've done it. PSTA. next time. Next time.
Here’s another way to become motivated. The exercise science of hypertrophy is nerd crack. The pursuit of great technique is challenging and add to that the science of eating to support it all - more nerd crack. There’s enough for a multi year year deep dive while you’re slowly transforming into someone who hopefully won’t fall and break a hip ever. Thinking hard about it can be a source of great motivation.
The way I have stuck to working out is when I come home from work I dont allow myself to sit until after my workout. Then I usually emd up not sitting until dinner anyways lol
Its very odd that after around 90 days training/exercise becomes a bit addicting. Personally I believe its because the first 90 days is excruciating on ligaments all over your joints. After or around 90 days that pain goes away and you just have muscle soreness to deal with. Take supplemental amino acids and that too only last a day or 2.
Music works for me. Have a workout playlist which you enjoy, then when you've built up the association starting the music will get you going when you're not so enthusiastic. It's kinda like I'm doing some robot dancing to deep house music 😅.
I thought of you and how much i like your vids so I wanted to visit - so glad there was a new video when i stopped by😊 tata for now - fellow lazy A_ _hole and zelda lover
You've helped 1000's of people get exercising with these videos. We love being a part of it!

How do you incorporate walking your dog in your day, @Wheezywaiter? I guessed when you were counting steps, that must be part of it. But for the "Work outs" though-is walking your dog a part of that? I just wondered because I remember you called the Co-Pilot workouts as "strength building". I guess my question is more about how CoPilot/Nathaniel thinks of it, and also you did not mention that in your "how capable you are" sublist? Is it not really a workout for you at all?
I do exercise for the exercise's sake as well but I personally count in my dog walkings into it. They are a handful and I really have to motivate myself strongly about it. My psycological reaction is very similar and my heartrate go up, sometimes as hard as when I'm exercising at a gym. So it made sense I count it as part of my exercise routine.
I know this comment is already long, but I have a feeling you might not count it as "exercise," strictly speaking. If you don't, is it because you are used to walking dogs before CoPilot came into your (our) life (lives) anyway? Do you see fitness stats after walking your dog? How often and how long are your walks... Okay that should be all.
PSTA!!! And thank you.
Exercising for its own sake has always seemed pointless to me. Then I realised I could… do other things. And then found out that in order to taking horse-riding lessons I had to lose 12 kilos. Having an existing, barely used gym membership from an aspirational-phase sign-up really helped with that. I swam most days in summer, then my schedule changed so I went to night gym classes (boxing/circuit) twice a week. Now I’m doing fortnightly riding lessons! I also workout with a friend 2 days a week, just lil at-home dance workouts, or a half hour walk. I would also love to do kyudo if there was a “club” in my area, but alas. There is an archery place though, so I’m doing their safety course in September with my brother and some friends. Find something you will enjoy and make space for it - your workout/s can be a hobby and/or social, and vice versa; even smth like gardening can be pretty intensive. I know I’m happier doing it that way.
Stumbled back on to your channel after several years. Same humor after all these years 😂 Glad your thriving - and now I got helpful tips to start working out. Wins all around.
Man, I'm really struggling getting back to my workout routine since having a baby a year ago. I used to workout 5 days a week. This is really motivational. Thanks.
I took about a year off after my son came. It's just such a disruption to life as you know it and overwleming when a little one is added that it takes time to readjust. What got me back into the swing was committing just 10-15 minutes 3 days a week. Once I got that down, I added time and days, but I needed the bite-sized sessions to get back into the routine first. Good luck!
Exactly. At my mid-40s and I decided to get back into cardio shape and do the normal workout thing, simply because genetics-wise, my family gets to pretty elderly ages, and I didn't exactly cherish the thought of 25 or 30 years at extremely diminished capacity. I'm doing this for older me, to make my older years not suck so hard.
Needed this video tonight - thanks as always for the motivation Craig!
How do you warm up? Do you need to go outside? How do you handle this on dark winter mornings?
The best part of my work out is that I am 100% thinking about the workout I am doing while I am doing it. It is therapy for me and allows me to face the rest of the day with a clearer mind.

I stopped running a year ago because of depression, I used to be able to do 5k in 20 mins or so. Now I can barley jog for 5 minutes. I think it’s time to change that 🎉
Loved this vlog. Everything you said…I needed to hear tonight. Fresh start again tomorrow, thanks❤
No way! First. All these years. Whoop!
congratulations friend!!
I too started my own personal health journey not too long ago and I agree with everything you said. Good to see another video.
I found you when my professor made me watch crash course. I laughed and learned and now I am still here. Love the vids ❤😂
Your getting better at creating videos every year!
Just hopped back on the health train and decided to do a mini workout while I watched this vid for the 5th time. Thanks for the inspo as always, Wheezy. I’ve been a fan since the bananas on the fridge days 😂
8:25 If you want to delay that suffering, cut your sitting time to 3 and a half hours a day. That's it. Be. Less. Sedentary. MUCH less. Fill your time with long walks, house chores, cleaning your car, washing windows, cooking, laundry, anything you can think of that keeps you on your feet but not standing for hours at a time. You can be stood at your computer for a while but make sure that it, plus the keyboard and mouse are the right height or your posture and wrists will suffer.
I like willful suffering vs unwillful suffering a lot - I have hip pain that led to physical therapy and the longest-running, most consistent workout routine I’ve ever had. I’m still not perfectly consistent and need motivation, but it’s either controlled workout pain or chronic can’t-be-controlled hip pain. But I’ve never thought about it as control vs uncontrolled until now.
I'm only just a few weeks into my physical therapy suggested running, starting 1 day a week, running 1k. I'm honestly glad to hear it's working for someone because I've already had a flare up, and need to slow it all down a bit. But I know I'll figure it out!
I do like the willful vs unwillful suffering mindset. It's a good tool I'm going to try to share with others.
I finally did it and signed up for copilot today! Can't wait to start my fitness journey.
Nathanuel is literally the BEST!!!!!!!
Thanks for this wheezy ❤️
I just love your videos.
I’ve been watching your copilot partnership for years and today you finally wore me down, you scamp. Kind of love that I still have never heard of this app outside your partnership with them…which to me implies that they’re good eggs. Excited to see how it goes 😎
Me, a Polish-born fella, was slightly tense around the 1:05 mark. Goosesteppin' like a boss.
“Willful suffering” what an epic thought 😮😃👍🏼
willfull suffering vs unwillful suffering: that's an interesting way to put it. Although I"m suffering this week because i must have pulled something in my hip, glute area working out. UGH i can do without this sort of suffering lol!
Thanks wheezy
At the end, that acronym literally should have been pasta if there was another A word stuck in there. But you don't wanna think about pasta during your workouts. LOL
Good points. But pretty much every long term ache and pain I have came from participating in exercise and I wonder if maybe I should have avoided that
No motivation needed, I love it!
'Abs-solutely'.
Very good! 😄
"I care about more intellectual things, like Zelda"
I've managed to maintain my 4-day a week workout routine whilst simultaneously playing the S*%^ out of Tears of the Kingdom.
Balance 💁♂
I don't think people appreciate your humor enough lol
Will give your tips a shot, I used to work out more regularly but couldn't be bothered and now have some pains in the back that will require working out more to go away. Life is suffering.
I joined copilot 3 months ago…. Thanks for the recommendation.
I think people put too much emphasis on "motivation" -- the real key to sticking with it is _discipline_
“The pain of discipline or the pain of regret”. Hopefully there’ll be an underlying reason/drive for the choice that will make it suck less. Like watching ones wife go blind from diabetes.
I started with CoPilot 5 weeks ago. Thank you for your recommendation it has been so helpful.
I didn't need the big red arrow that followed the dog, but I sure loved it!
love you videos!
ProTip: Your activity doesn't need to be running, jogging or the gym/weight lifting. You can join a rec league sport like badminton, basketball, dodgeball or a dance group or a paintball group and run around safely shooting people with paint. Keep fit and have fun!
I already workout regularly but I will find an excuse to watch any wheezy video
Nobody asked but here is what I do... I try to make a plan to avoid fighting my own motivation and willpower. I go to bed at 22 the day before, and wake up at 6 in the morning, drink 1 glass of water, take a 1.5 hour walk, walk to work, wait until around 12 before having breakfast, home from work and chill, eat, wait, walk another 1.5 hour trip somewhere between 18 and 19, come home, chill, go to bed, repeat.
If you feel hungry before 12, if it feels bad, eat, if not, wait. If you go to bed at 23, wake up at 7 and adjust.
If you want to add strength training, skip trip nr 2, make sure you eat something 1-2 hours before, and do it right after work.
The funny thing is that the morning walk feels like it's free, and since the time between the first and the second trip is so long, by body is ready again.
I've been doing 10,000 steps a day this whole year. I'm hanging in there. The strange thing is that it hasn't really helped my cardio at all. I still get winded instantly if I do any running or major exercises. I need to work on that, and it's been the biggest struggle.
Maybe its a health issue ? You should maybe take a full health check just to be sure😊
Thank you, this is helpful
I watched this video while doing a workout
I will suffer in gratitude for this video! To the gym!
I’m not first but I’m excited
You are
@@avatarpablo wow I actually am I didn't realize
Dare to be pointless? More like: disappointless!
But also dare to be pointless because I’d prefer that merch to be back because my T-shirt is washed out and I am still daringly pointless.
Trivia: In my country we literally call the “fire hydrant” the “pissing dog”. Less subtle I guess.
motivated me to take a brisk walk, thanks. Also - liked your appearance on Beer and Board Games.
Congratulations on your achievement.
PERFECT timing! What the heck? That’s kinda freaky. Are you listening to my life?
I got up the other morning, put my clothes on, went outside to my stationary bike and almost brought it in to work out. I paused there thinking about how much I didn't want to work out. Maybe if I had had your mantra in my head I would've done it. PSTA. next time. Next time.
“Arm Boobs”! Right up there with… da ta da….
“Back Farts”!😂😂
like the 'accept' part. realistic.
Here’s another way to become motivated. The exercise science of hypertrophy is nerd crack. The pursuit of great technique is challenging and add to that the science of eating to support it all - more nerd crack. There’s enough for a multi year year deep dive while you’re slowly transforming into someone who hopefully won’t fall and break a hip ever. Thinking hard about it can be a source of great motivation.
I can't believe you got Kool Aid Man to cameo!
love you craig
Get this viral !❤
Man I keep hearing Eye of the Tiger in the background 😂😂 keep it up 👍
That flannel is beautiful and looks like six other flannels in my closet. I have to know where you got it.
The way I have stuck to working out is when I come home from work I dont allow myself to sit until after my workout. Then I usually emd up not sitting until dinner anyways lol
Its very odd that after around 90 days training/exercise becomes a bit addicting. Personally I believe its because the first 90 days is excruciating on ligaments all over your joints. After or around 90 days that pain goes away and you just have muscle soreness to deal with. Take supplemental amino acids and that too only last a day or 2.
Music works for me. Have a workout playlist which you enjoy, then when you've built up the association starting the music will get you going when you're not so enthusiastic. It's kinda like I'm doing some robot dancing to deep house music 😅.
Let's hear it for "SQUADD DAY"! 🤣
Soooooo, we doin' Ironman Wisconsin together in September or what???
I would so love to do a month of Soul-based Coaching (aka clean language and symbolic modelling) with you, could be just 10 minutes a day!
I thought of you and how much i like your vids so I wanted to visit - so glad there was a new video when i stopped by😊 tata for now - fellow lazy A_ _hole and zelda lover
It’s just type 2 fun!
Is it only for the US?
No! If you are outside the U.S you can join as well.
