Charlie Berens, self renowned Winter Fitness Expert, takes his client, Taylor Calmus aka Dude Dad, through a rigorous winter training routine. As Charlie puts it, no one needs to know how to do 50 sit ups but they do need to have the endurance to shovel, snowblow, and ice fish to survive the winter.
“Developed by people too stubborn to move somewhere warmer” so true lol
We move somewhere warmer we get hit by hurricanes or wild fires or earthquakes.
Warm states aren't all they're cracked to be. I'm in Texas and miss the seasons. Not the snow from February on though.
@@iwinrar5207 Don't forget about all the dangerous critters there as well.
@@90whatever I’m from florida and I miss the snow from Connecticut, but Connecticut was fucking poor and had crazy ass taxes.
@@youreapoopiepants9278 I assume Indiana gets a good bit of snow. My state of ohio got about 50in last year
"Late April, or early May.. Some years June." So true.
It's the "ope you hit a crack" that's got it for me. I don't know how many shovel handle punches to the gut I've taken this year, but it's a lot.
You are shoveling the wrong way
😂 I can empathize. Been there, done that.
Yeah... u learn young, growing up on a dairy farm, scraping the barn floor, to KEEP THE END OF THE HANDLE AWAY FROM YOUR PIGEON HOLE !!! One time, it took me scary long to be able to breathe again !!
Yeah, any adult impaling him/herself while shoveling just didn't grow up doing it. Start em young enough and their first big surprise is a shovel handle to the face, throat or shoulder. Though you tend to forget, so when you get it down to one or two per year then you'll be like a native.
Or a rock, cause you have an asphalt driveway. It's entertaining if it doesn't happen to you
"'til late April, early May. Some years June.". Oohhhh yeah😂
This might be Charlie’s funniest one yet! As both a trainer and someone from Wisconsin, every part of this sketch cracks me up!
I just moved from Texas to northeast Iowa. I never shoveled snow in my life until this winter and I'm here to tell you that it sucks when you hit the crack in the driveway.
From where we're sitting right now, that was a very smart move.
Ohhhh yeah...probably took two-tree times of the shovel handle ta da nads for me to learn not to push like a snow plow when I was a kid
@@loismiller2830 I hope you were able to stay safe and warm. Lotsa great friends down there.
@@loismiller2830 for sure. Usually the travel goes the other way. I bet his buddies aren't calling him crazy anymore! 😂
Cracks are just reminders to manage the angle of the shovel.
Hey Charlie. Tell your folks I said hey, and while you're in the gym pushing that Prius remember to keep watching out for deer!
You betcha this was the best gosh dang minute of my life. Thanks dere guy.
Now this is functional training
"He's a flopper!" gold.
How is this so accurate 🤣 I moved to the carribbean from northern MN in december, your videos are really helping with the (small amount of) homesickness. Thanks bud, and tell yer folks I says hi
From a person born and raised in the twin cities, and attending college in Duluth, don't worry! Once a Minnesotan, always a Minnesotan!
I'm here at work and in a really bad mood because my back is killing me and I should be home icing my back but now I am laughing and my work day is so much better. Thank you so much.
Taylor..."I want to build a snowman"...nailed it! ❄⛄🎤⛄❄🎶
"I used to barely be able to scrape a hole in my windshield big enough to see out of. Now I realize that's all you need" oh this is so me. Cheap scraper but expensive blades and antifreeze windshield wash ain't nobody got time for winter when you're late (again) for work!
You forgot the ever fun taking kids to the hill to toboggan exercise.
My favorite is when the tiny one is tired but wants to go down the hill a few more times so you have to carry him.......😓
He doesn’t have kids, so he forgot that one. Just wait. 😊
This one year I was doing snowhill sledding duty and some genius mom shared the hard hot chocolate she had brought in a thermos. Angels exist.
@@Sentientmatter8 some heros don't wear capes
@@mikelaping4274 This one was wearing uggs and a puffer jacket like it was 2002.
@@Sentientmatter8 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was at a resort in Duluth two years ago in February. Girl who was working the coffee bar in the hotel had that exact outfit on........leave room for brandy I told her.
I know yaller gonna laugh at me, but I'm starting to wish I'd taken this course in Texas right about now... :D
Hang in there. Consider this year's storm training for what's to come. Be prepared. Plenty of warm clothes, long underwear, boot socks, below zero sleeping bags, blankets, quilts, and make sure that the larder is full of food that you can eat without heating it. (Canned goods, granola bars, dry cereal, snacks) Don't forget to have an emergency stash of water on hand! If you can install an alternative heat source, do it as soon as possible. (Stand-by generator, portable generator, or a wood-burning fireplace)
"Yaller". I am simply amazed. Not "y'all're". Yaller. That is the most beautiful use of language I have ever seen. I feel like I just saw the next phase of the evolution of English.
😁
Yeah, but you made up for it by saying “yaller”.... that’s the most Texan thing I’ve ever seen on TH-cam.
Yeah. Ima laugh at you
Hahaha.
Scraping a hole big enough to see out of brought back lots of memories.
When I see those people I hope someone throat punches them
The driving tips are exactly what my drivers training was like in 1975 in Alpena Michigan when I was 15. Holy smokes. Go Wildcats.
Was not expecting that ending! 😂
Met a couple of Wisconsinites today, we bonded over you and your amazing content.. tell your folks I says hi
'You're gotta get your taxes in' GOLD
Coming from VT and the owner of a Prius...so true and had a good laugh. Now live in NC, so much warmer
This accurate. We Wisconsinites are fitness gods- this is our daily routine.
Wisconsin? I thought that was Southern Canada...!!!??
OH JUST LOOK AT MY STUPID COMEDY VIDEOS. Look so I don't have to keep my day job. 💩🤡🤠
@@StupiderWithAB your videos are hilarious 🤣
They ain't got da walleyes where its warmer
Our bodies are immaculate
We can relate to that. You fellas are hilarious. Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
As a Canadian I can say your entire state is basically our country
In your dreams
@@frankdillingsly3580 what?
@@jamesgannon2136 how you gonna say Mn. U.S.A. is your country?
@@frankdillingsly3580 Jesus Christ I'm just making a joke saying that Wisconsin is a lot like Canada I'm sorry that that state and our country is filled with a lot of nice passive aggressive people who have to deal with heavy winter 8 months out of the year
@@jamesgannon2136 well we have everybody crashing our country so that they can bring their country here so forgive me but one world order ain't happening. Or United Socialist States...never happen. We have a shit show going on here right now. Ya hoser. Have a Molson on me
Mistakes were made, no beer related exercises. Still a great video, awesome! 🧐🤔🍻🥇🚜
this was a terrible oversight
@@CharlieBerens
Great men admit their mistakes, bravo! 💯🗿
Triceps lifts... 16 Oz at a time. How many reps tho ?
@@CharlieBerens : cause for a sequel. And don’t forget the tips for recovery. (From the workout, not the, er, “habit” of beer drinking). 😒😁
@@traceypurcell1277
16x16, is that overkill...? 🤔🍻
“Once is enough, or its child abuse” yeah, yeah tell that to my Asian parents
Don't worry you're not alone my parents didn't know there was a thing called child abuse they thought it was called "active parenting".
Ouch! 😳😫😭
I get the Asian parent aspect, but have you had a (any race) daycare granny? Trust me there is always a slapping object and severe judgment involved. Race is not the issue!
@@pambronson4467 Then maybe the more accurate term is “cultures” perhaps. And speaking only for America, the older generations are more likely to come from the parenting traditions of a swift slap / bop / other forms of corporal discipline. 🧐😳😫
I grew up in the era of beat first - then ask why you did it.
So true! I lived in Chicago for two years and Wisconsin for four before returning back to Texas. I think my husband or I have done everyone of these exercises except for the gutter hang
Could have used this info last week Charlie, you have let Texas down I'll still watch you though
This is exactly the video I needed to see as someone who lives in Texas right now lol
Charlie is an Emmy winning journalist, so PSAS and timeliness are in his blood. Along with the brand old fashioneds and fish fries. 😁
@@tinaperez7393 what emmy did he win
The stupidity of my channel name is nothing compared to the stupidity you will feel if you check out my stupid comedy videos. 😀😀😀🙌🙌🙌
@@saxo689 : maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it as I shouldn't be speaking for him or anyone and it's not really relevant here (except that he's always got journalism in his blood - the manitowoc minute being a great example of combining three of his "loves" - "journalism" 😁, comedy and Wisconsin culture.) He is a grad of UW Madison's journalism school and was even invited to and spoke at the grad ceremony of a later class - the videos of the short and long / complete speech is available on his channel - it's actually really good. I think of it often actually - he talks about being skeptical but not cynical. His manitowoc minute character also starts off the speech.
As for the emmy, Charlie paid his dues in broadcast journalism gigs across the country before he grew and switched to comedy. When in broadcast journalism he did a piece that won one of the emmy categories for regional (I think) journalism. Those aren't as famous as the other kinds but they still count. 😁 I don't know which piece it was for or the exact name of the emmy. Those details are probably somewhere on google or maybe his other sites and/or this channel.
It's just a matter of time before Cody calls Charlie. For training.
This should be an actual thing
Right? It would totally work!
The stupidity of my channel name is nothing compared to the stupidity you will feel if you check out my stupid comedy videos. 😀😀😀🙌🙌🙌
It should be an actual thing. Apparently alot of older gentlemen end up in the hospital after the first big snowfall because they had to bust out the shovels for the first time all year. Gotta keep those back aches and hernias at bay.
@@Serenade2461 That would be from not enough gardening followed by leaf raking I'd say. Building and turning compost heaps could be a more common thing.
Next video: First Aid 101 - Frozen Tundra Edition. 😂😁♥️💕
@@jamesszczender2907 : you have a point! 😁 But maybe that applies more to permafrost. The phrase "frozen tundra" might actually be more of a colloquialism requiring both words depending on where and how it's used. For instance, Lambeau Field, much less in the dead of winter, cannot really be described as "the Tundra". Only if you say "The Frozen Tundra" will you be using the correct, accepted, and understood terminology.
My daughter is a CrossFit fanatic, this was hilarious. We all need practical ways to train for winter experiences. Thanks, Charlie and Taylor.
The ending is hilarious! You're awesome.
I like how the cast keeps expanding. This is awesome.
Starting the snowblower part was so accurate. You just start kicking it for no reason
Monkey brain tried everything it could. Lizard brain demands VENGANCE
PERFECT ENDING!!!!! HAAA
"I'm a deer, keep pumpin, I'm a deer, keep pumpin" holy crap I have experienced that so many times lmao
"It's a snowday and the kids are home, what are you doing?"
"Crying"
I think all texans need to see this!
It's true. It's far too cold and we are not okay 😂
I agree! I'm in Dallas right now, it's brutal for Texas but I have family in Wisconsin and I always got put to work for snow shoveling so I at least have that going for me lol
My son just moved to Texas but growing up in Pittsburgh, he's a pro when it comes to snow.
Midwest: deals with 2 feet of snow every year*
Texas with 3 inches: 🥴
@@sanmarino8605 The houses are not insulated from the cold, they don't have the snow removal equipment and lack experience driving in it. It's been a nightmare with rolling brown outs and freezing pipes.
“Don’t be a hero. We just need a little circle in front of the steering wheel”
The ending: what happened to Taylor?! I only saw Charlie there making his escape. 🤔😲
sacrificed to the gym gods
One of THE best, and that’s sayin something! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I could feel the "ope you hit a crack" so much!
"If you've given Charlie Barens any mone..." LMAO this video was a class action lol
As long as the ice hole is aobut 4 square inches you are safe to drive. It will grow as you drive and you defrost does it's thing.
Yeah, just make sure u got your AC on if inside starts fogging up ! I was young and didn't know any better, not being used to winter driving, having grown up working on dairy farm and being homeschooled since 3rd grade... hadn't gone anywhere much in years when I got married and had to drive to the farm. My Camry would fog up rather suddenly, badly and 1st time I nearly panicked, not able to see at all , kept trying to wipe it w my sleeve. Kept getting worse n worse, but I only had to go 1.5 miles, later my husband told me about using the AC for that 😁😁. ... .
This was so on point Charlie should really offer to teach around the entire Midwest.
Just moved to Minnesota will be my first winter learning from this
The muscular / sphincter contractions of merely surviving in -30 is a workout unto itself for cripes sakes 🥶
“The program is working” 😲
I don't know how you come up with this stuff, but for pete's sake, don't ever stop. There was literally not one single part of this that wasn't true 🤣
Love it...do an obstacle course next time
Hilariously accurate! Gotta get those taxes in lol!!
I moved from Texas to Colorado 5 years ago. Charlie, I need your training. I still struggle with plowing the driveway. AND I've never been ice fishing.
Always good to see Taylor.
Thanks!
I am a PT in the north and I seriously use some of these in clinic haha
You forgot the run to car and back barefoot so its warm when you finish getting ready
This is actually spot on
Cody Knapp is clearly new to the area. Probably moved from the south cuz wife's family is up nort.
This just made my day. And I am not from the States!!! I mean, IKEA was so amazing, I thought they can't be more funny, and they proved me wrong. Great work, guys!!!!!
❤-ed their IDEA one too. Always good for a laugh
yes... how true. my brother and his kids helped me pull the boat and boat trailer out of the snow. we had to look for the boat covered in snow....interesting times.
One thing I've never heard you mention, and that is good German Wisconsin summer sausage. There's a lot of crappy summer sausage made in Chicago, Cincinnati, and other out of state places. But nothing can compare to the sausages from the Wisconsin Sausage Company made in Sheboygan. Summer sausage isn't just a Christmas holiday treat --- a brown bag special good all year round is a summer sausage sandwich on home made bread --- yum!
This is one of your best ones
Funny on a couple of levels. What a great student this instructor got to work with.
LMAO I didn’t know I needed this today. I have watched several times and sending link to friends. At the time of this post there was 27 dislike⁉️Y’all must be from Texas and just haven’t thawed out your funny bone yet.
Good one, and howdy from da udder side da pond!!
Lol--I pulled a neighbor woman's Four Runner out of the snow with my Prius last winter. It's all about knowing how to drive in snow!
Hi from Maui. Love your videos.
You must be itchin' for a fight. There are things people in this space JUST. DO. NOT. SAY. Hold onto your palm trees - the comments you might get are not going to be pretty. Wait - only someone with frozen north (or Texas) cabin fever would write a comment like this in this space . You know - just to stir the pot. I'm on to you!
I have it on the highest authority that Hawaii doesn’t have:
1) ice fishing
2) walleyes
3) snow angels
It’s a tough tradeoff but hang in there and keep ‘er movin! 😁
AKA "The Minnesota Workout"
Awesome and mostly accurate
The way Charlie says "She nods I Love You, you're gonna die!" is priceless
I would go to this gym
That might be his best video.
"...You didn't have life insurance, your family's gonna suffer."
2:13..."and he's a flopper!" 😆
insert cold state here.... subscribed lol
It's a flopper!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 I love it!
This is actually a great idea
This was awesome! Nice work there guy
This being recommended to me in the beginning of July was just cruel, it's only been a week since our last freeze and I need time to recover damnit
TOO TRUE
Incredible
I like the flannel hat Der guy. Anyway,keep er movin
Hey Midwesterners, Manitoba here. Together we shiver.
"Once is enough or it's child abuse". Oh my god I am done. I can't XD
Where was this when the winter vortex started in Texas???? I'm clueless out here
😂So funny, thanks guys ! !
Truth after truth.
“How long is this work out?” “Late April or early May... sometimes June.” I may not be from Wisconsin but even here below em that’s too true
Wow !! This one is another great one finally - way more fun & funny than I thought it was gunna be - thanks !!!
Charlie is slaying 20-21' videos.
Gym’s slogan fits ...Keep Er Movin! 💪🏼
Omg this cracked me up! Thank you Charlie!
As a resident of the deep south, I understand the stubbornness of people in cold climates not leaving. I always stick it out when the summers here are akin to Hades 🤣
LOOOOOOOOL!
U 2 R G8 2GETTER!
Love it!
Lmfao😂 I rarely use my snowblower and opt for shoveling because it's the only "excercise" I get during winter.
You missed the one where the shovel slides onto the ground flat so you don't find it till spring.... yay I have an extra now....
Texas could use some of this education
We here in Texas need help
