Resting is super vital for your muscle gains, so thats why I rest 7 days a week
underrated comment LMAO
Reminds me of that joke from Foster's where that jigsawed face looking person says something like, "You're interrupting my 23 hours of beauty sleep!" To which Bloo replies with, "You might want to bump that up to 24."
1000th like :O
Wait-
Ur a legend lol
"1 month is not enough to undo a lifetime of bad habit." Damn, that's all i needed.
depends on how fucked you are i guess
Took me 6 weeks of daily walks to lose 9 lbs...about 6-8 months to lose the rest
Yes that statement is like a huge wakeup call.🙌
@@AJ-ny1ox Has has to
It is tho, I went from 84 kilos to 70 in a month and a half
Thumbnail: Crunches will not get you abs
Video: Crunches will get you abs (just be thin enough to show them)
Well the muscle actually needs to be there to be visible, so core strength is important.
I think what they were getting at is you can't just do a million crunches and expect to see chiseled abs, because you can't target a specific area to burn fat.
Reason: Clickbait for views.
Right? I'm skinny and working at my abs and clicked after saw the thumbnail to find the fateful reveal, and this is just once again about losing fat
love ur vids dude!
@@foggyaf5531 Yup also some people will never see an 8 pack as it's genetics that play a part in how much of that final row of abs really shows and in rare cases people can have a "Ten pack" but for most people it's a unrealistic goal and some people can see their abs at higher body fat % a lot of genetics play a part in how we will look so it's always important to work with your body rather then against it in terms of dream looks oh and that body types are complete bs as everyone is all 3 body types and can get to all 3 though training or lack of training and not over eating etc, etc

That's me
"Muscle weighs more than fat" is referring to volume. As in, if you had 2 cubic feet of muscle, then it would weigh more than 2 cubic feet of fat.
Square feet is area, not volume. He a little confused, but he got the spirit
What you just defined is density, which is what the trainer in the video talked about (muscle is more than dense than fat).
@@sson386 Sure, but my point is how he dismisses the claim of "Muscle weighs more than fat" and acts like it is silly and outlandish. Muscle does weigh more than fat if both are the same size/volume.
It is odd. I saw several inaccuracies throughout the video. I’m unsure if it’s because of misinterpretations on my end or maybe some of the presenters.
Maybe he just want people to educate people about the correct semantics. After all, why say "muscle weigh more than fat when they have the same volume" if you can easily say "muscle is more dense than fat"?
Crunches WILL give you a six-pack, but it does not mean it will necessarily give you a visible six-pack. It does not matter how lean you are, you still need to train core muscles and all muscles to make them visible and good-looking.
I've been working out since I was 21. I'm now 61. Proud to say I've gained 40 years!
Not a lot of people can say that.very very good job dude
Such an achievement....... Needs loads and loads of consistency
😲😲👏👏👏
"The Batugan" LOL
Ok ka rin bossing!
TH-cam; Do crunches, Don't do crunches, Keto no keto, Rest, persist, More calories, less calories
Me Eating chips: Ok
Thats because these are methods to different results. If you want to bulk up, more calories. If you’re trying to lose weigh, stay at a caloric deficit
I found their advice about crunches and sixpacks weird and confusing. They say it is not about the muscle or doing alot of crunches. But they continue saying crunches do build muscles but you need low bodyfat for it to show it. Well dah, I think like 99% that watch this video knows that you need low body fat to have visable abs. So personally I just get confused when they say so obvious things with the twist of saying weird things like the workout and muscle is not so importent. What are they talking about? Low body fat is ofc importent for you to have a chance to show it, but the workout and muscle is still a most basically, otherwize you will not have anything to show.
Hew W like honestly bro...go off 😤
Hew W I think the point they were trying to make there was that doing crunches is not going to lead to a loss of belly fat. Basically the spot reduction myth. However, doing crunches will help you build muscle.
Using muscles makes them stronger, who gives a shit about this vanity oriented advice. Being reasonably strong gives you one or two shots at kicking the Grim reaper right in the nuts. Avoiding a heart attack or physical injury is worth a thousand people's opinions of you.
I was struggling to lose weight for a very long time. I was working out but I also love to eat. At one point I was thinking that I was going to be fat for the rest of my life until I started eating properly. Good diet is a key. Obviously I had no clue what to eat and how much. I had to invest in meal plan from Next Level Diet. It wasn't so expensive and it helped me start losing some fat and guided me to eat properly. Now I am thinking about getting personal fitness coach to help me learn how to plan and do exercises properly.
Can you share it, I am poor
Damn after watching this I felt more confused about my workout
How so?
Same. All I know is, I feel better after a workout and it helps control my appetite. I'm going to keep going with what works, no matter what the "experts" say!
How was that confusing? The myth selection was ridiculous in the first place. It's basic knowledge at this point.

Welcome to Fitness .
Nothing is clear .
Just that you must run .
No, it wasn't. Literally says don't do this several times. You can't spot train. Period.
Life ain't black and white kiddo. There are advantages and disadvantages to almost everything, but that doesn't mean there is nothing wrong. You can't target fat spots, that's a fact.
welcome to science.
but ya the sea salt thing is bullshit
I did too much cardio for about a year which resulted in me being super weak. I didn't notice it at that time, but I wondered why I wouldn't lose any more weight even though I was in a huge caloric deficit. I didn't count wrong because I measured everything and tracked the exact brands I was eating. What I think happened is that I basically starved myself that much that my body tried to consume my muscles. Thus my body burned even less calories than before. I basically gained weight when I ate around 1600 calories even though I worked out. I was also weak during my workouts so I probably didn't burn nearly as much as my tracker said. What ended up happening is that I gained all the weight back, but am left with almost no strength. My TDEE is probably still quite low due to having low muscle mass.
Sounds like you put your self in to a diabetic state you didn't do to much cardio you didn't eat right. You want to stay strong and loose fat you have to consume the necessary calories to sustain your energy and the correct amount of protine to sustain your muscle. You should never do a deficit of calories when you are on a heavy training program. You need to work the body through its zones of energy burning the correct way ad well never exceeding the fat burning zone during cadio and getting in to the protine burning zone. You're also better off doing cardio 2 times a day for 30 to 45 min than one time for 60 to 90 min. Go luck in the future.
I'm sorry that you had to go through that.
Maybe I'm also walking in your footsteps, I better start checking that I don't overdo it.
Please continue your new workout routine. You'll see results 💪🏾
I'll tell you why you didn't lose weight and was weaker. It was because you didn't eat enough thinking that cardio was actually going to make you lose weight. You didn't eat enough just like you said and kept doing cardio thinking that's how it worked. Did you know that you have to run 2 football fields to burn one M&M, so no that's not how you lose weight, but if you don't eat enough you're body has to rely on breaking down muscle, which slows down the amount of calories you keep having to burn on a consistent bases. It doesn't make any sense that you could say you gained the weight back, yeah, maybe in fat, because if you were somehow just kind of magical muscle God that could just lose all of his muscle by running and then just by stopping it simply grows right back again, wtf do you need cardio for then man, if that's true, you should be hovered off to the misunion museum right now because then people could study you. All of that, what means by what you said, means that you've never actually been huge into working out before, like I can say that about people twice my size that keep saying all you need to gain 30lbs is just 3x 1 hour times a week at the gym, bullshit, and saying that you lost strength, I wouldn't say that I think you're wrong, I just don't believe you, let me tell you a little about myself, I weigh 115lbs right now, I have since high school when I stopped working out, but I worked out all my live, even at 7 I had my grandma count how many pull ups I could do at 7pm every night, I worked out with weightsat a weightroom for 5 years, however I never stopped working out I spent the rest of day swinging a 10lb pole outside or working out for 8 hours straight, I wasn't even in athletics like my classmates anymore and I still had more exercise than any of them, at 115lbs I could curl 75lbs in one hand, I could squeeze my pecks together with a force greater than 285lbs, and I could deadlift 265lbs at 18 years old, everyone looked at me like I was skinny as a twig but I had more muscle and strength than all of them. How muscle is going to grow depends on how weak you are, like you're not strong because you have big muscles and you're not muscular because you're strong, how muscle grows is how your body adapts to the breakdown of muscle, if you a super weak, you grow bigger muscles, other people can grow bigger muscles than me, but that didn't make them stronger than me, that's why I was so strong with smaller muscles, I had a lot of muscle not just big muscles, if someone like me could handle all that, you should have been able to handle either at least growing more muscle or gaining strength with what you had doing what you did, unless what you're telling me is that you must have really done that to yourself, which isn't the worst thing to happen, cardio packs numerous mitochondria into muscle, but weight lifting makes them bigger, but what you also need beside them being bigger is more of them so they can supply the energy to grow even more muscle and to make sure what you're talking about doesn't really happen to you.
I used to lift.. Took me 6 months to see the results and it took me 3 months for all of it to disapear. Thanks covid.
I feel this in a spiritual level
Same, I’m back at it now
covid has nothing to do with you losing your gains, your laziness is. I don't go to the gym in this winter, not because of covid, but because of work, but i workout at home every other day full body doing push ups, pullups, pistol squats, step ups etc. So stop bitching about covid stopping you from training
@@ollvi Yeah I would had worked out at home if I was at home not in a hospital I caught covid I guess having covid is laziness?

"Myth 4: You can target specific body parts"
You can. But you can't target FAT LOSS in specific body parts. Huge difference in phrasing.
yeah well...he did elaborate that he meant fat.
William Levy yeah but he didn’t mention you can target certain muscle groups. Just look at dem bois who skip leg days :)))))
We do legs day every day when we carry our body, head and arms with them. Lol.
William Levy Oh, well then there’s no need to exercise. Everyone who exercises is stupid because you just need to stay alive and your body will grow. Lol.
@@Gunbardo nah dawg, I'm just saying you don't need to strengthen your legs, Just your arms. You need to stretch your tight ass hammies though.
I don’t even exercise at all, what am I even doing here?
Curiosity?
Yeah I will start tomorrow (said every person ever)
Ive been copying the 100 push ups 100 sit ups and 100 squats. But i started at 50 now im at 75
Hey, found my man ＼(^▽^＠)ノ
ABNERRRR
To actually give some insights on morning versus evening exercise (new research emerged these past years on the subject):
Training on the morning or evening yileds not much of a difference, but what greatly differs are how or body responds to it. As we wake up we have a lot of stress (some you feel, some you don't) in our bodies, which also sends the body in high alert state. This means that even if body is waking up, it has a rather high metabolism. On the evening however, this has slowed down drastically. Exercising on the evening helps the body regulate the blood pressure a lot better, which has obvious health benefit (both mentally and physically). The research suggests that in terms of fat burning you won't see much of a difference by the training itself, but over time those that exercise on the evening lose more weight. While not everything is clear yet, it is to believe that the better managed blood pressure (and its side effects) has a key part.
Just wanna step in and add: Himalayan sea salt does not contain any nutrients in high enough quantity to make any difference. To get anything close to the recommended daily dose of anything in Himalayan sea salt, you would need to eat a proverbial truckload. You get your nutrients from food, not alkaline water or electrolyte rich water. But yes take in salt, it just doesn't need to be pink Himalayan sea salt nor would that make any difference versus normal sea salt.
So, are you a professional trainer or something? Otherwise, why else should we take your word over the professionals in this video?
@@sparrow_solas Don't take my word, just take the time to research Himalayan sea salt. You don't have to be a professional to understand experiments and percent composition analysis. Also, that's a logical fallacy-assuming that someone who is an expert is more correct about anything. ALSO, they are not experts, just professional trainers, this title ONLY means they are paid to train people. You shouldn't attach any other values to that title.
@@Shademastermcc "Also, that's a logical fallacy-assuming that someone who is an expert is more correct about anything."
Michael, buddy. I'm gonna give you a couple hours to think over how dumb that statement is, and I want you to come back to me when it dawns on you, okay?
@@sparrow_solas Not a dumb statement. Just look up Authority bias.
@@sparrow_solas Dr. Oz is a doctor... BUT for "good TV" he says some things that I find extremely dubious at best... outright disingenuous or even dangerous at worst... SO you'd just blindly follow whatever he says because it's "from an expert" in your opinion???
OR would you maybe try READING FOR YOURSELF... You know... that skill they teach throughout grade school but almost nobody bothers engaging after high school anymore???
Why not look up the actual quantitative chemical analysis of Himalayan Salt and see for yourself??? Daily required values for adults are publicly available for comparison... Why do you wait for any "expert" to tell you??? And why not take this O.P. as seriously and just research a bit on your own??? Is it somehow an obligation you take the vid' as absolute truth just for proclaiming a handful of professional coaches "experts" in regards to myths they didn't even bust???
That's text book logical fallacy, buddy... You've had a month to consider even after posting your nasty little retort... patronizing and all... "Authority Bias" plain and simple. AND it's no way to carry an argument.. This pack never cited a single study, not one peer reviewed journal to back up where they got their information... They're no more or less valid than O.P. on this (or any other thread)...
You got to have better than that. ;o)

Well it's 18 months later and I am still on this. One thing I forgot to mention was that I started a month before my 65th birthday. I have the early onset of arthritis in my right knee (according to the xrays my doctor read) and a stabbing pain (just started about 8 months ago) in my left knee.
I'm down to about 180ish (I'm not weighing myself 3 times a day any more)and am building muscle, yes I can go to the pool without my XXL t-shirt trying to conceal the huge belly that used to proceed me in the past. It's more defined and a lot of the love handles are gone.
But please to everyone getting started here for the young and the old. The first myth is that you can go from a size 42inch waist to a 34 inch waist and have huge bulging muscles in 30 days. If you believe this and try it you will be disappointed and quit.
The process is long and arduous and each day seems like the hill will never have a top and that's because you set goals. Not crazy ones but attainable ones.
The thing that kills me is when I go on a cruise, the first thing I do is go to the gym and try to figure out what my new regiment is going to be. I see guys in there who have the physic I used to have when I first got started. What are they doing? Trying to lift huge weights and I can see from their struggles and the fact that they can only do 3 reps of one set using 45lb weights that they are going to rip their muscles to shreds. Always work up, your body has muscle memory so get used to a weight you can manage, do 3 sets of 10 for a while then increase that to 15. Once you get used to that weight increase the weight. But don't pretend that you can walk into a gym and lift more than you should. It is not going to end up good for you.
The point is take things in moderation so that you don't quit. That helps being consistent. And consistency is key. And always remember 80% is diet and 20% is exercise.
And thanks for all the encouragement. But there is nothing more encouraging than to hear it from someone else. When an old friend sees me and notices the difference it's awesome. The last cruise I finished my workout and started to leave the gym. I guess this older man was watching me and commented that I looked like an 18 year old doing the workout. Yes that make me want to get up the next morning and do even more.
8:52 I think this might be the wisest thing I've ever heard a trainer say. So true, thanks for that

Why tf is the narrator saying thing like “and that means...” and “but” for the other guy. That’s so annoying. just let him talk.
Oh sure! Because it's an interview any the person talking didn't necessarily transition well or had to be promoted for an additional question.
I agree. The constant use of single words and incomplete sentences is annoying. It feels like the narrator is forcing themself in.
I dunno, I kinda like that style
BUUT!
Came here to look for this comment 😂 I got so annoyed when he kept doing that. Full sentences are fine, but just saying “but” and “and” were weird.
“muscle dont weigh more than fat it is just denser”
Yeah, thats how weighing more works.
My point lol
lol yeah
It's so pedantic, like the sort of annoying shit we used to say as little kids. Weight isn't really a scientific term, it refers to mass or density depending on context. That's not a myth.
@@92Pyromaniac yeah, they were really petty with this one, BUT weigh is different of mass. Mass remains the same in any atmosphere, like for example in the moon, you have the same mass, but your weigh there is minor because of the gravity there.
No, that's how weighing more per unit volume works which is the definition of density i.e. muscle is more dense than fat.
Women thinking lifting a few weights will make them bulky is like being afraid reading a book will accidentally give you a phd
Nice analogy
this is off topic but the woman’s voice is really soothing

ABS ARE MADE IN THE GYM AND REVEALED IN THE KITCHEN
@@Marie-di5gl It's a strict diet to get abs. You could try swimming in the morning as you already have a calorie deficit and burn fat that way. A lot of swimmers tend to be really lean if their diet is good too.

"Crunches don't give you abs"

Omg I felt the same.
Atlee Lang Problem is most people over estimate the amount of calories burned while doing cardio and eat too much as a result. Also crutches won’t make your abs visible if their covered by a layer of fat they will get stronger though.
@@carlosvasquez6054 YES but i know a lot of really skinny guys who have no abs. So yes. you need to do abs to get abs
@@jolbarjl you can be skinny-fat. Where your body fat % is around 20%, but you appear thin.
You start seeing abs at ~15% body fat and lower, which more or less require a person to care and commit to a healthy lifestyle.
If a person wouldn't build muscle mass and still go down to 15% body fat or lower through starvation they'd enter the realm of anorexic. These people are so incredibly malnourished that their bodies have an absolute minimal amount of muscle, and can end up not really showing abs either. Luckily that's not that common, though.
@@Limboinpinbo wtf are you talking about
Love everything about what they all said. I lost the most weight by eating healthier and finding cardio that I loved like taking a theatre class where we did yoga and other movement classes and I started using public transportation more which helped me walk more and stay active. I didn’t hit the gym once and went from 215 to 165 in less than a year.
The narrator is so distracting in a hilarious way and I completely lose track of the sentence when I hear a random "but?"
Overall I think this video is great for the amount of time spent on each topic but as a fitness professional myself I must add some notes:
Myth 2 - It is not so much about mornings or nights that dictates the way our bodies respond as much as our bodies natural rhythm. Some people have been noted to have better performances at different times in their days. The impact is almost not statistically significant but if you are looking to maximize your results you should test to see which time is best for you.
Myth 3 - I was surprised to hear what was said here. It has been shown in many different studies that both static and dynamic (exception to balistic) stretching does help reduce the risk of injury before a session of physical activity. Stretching does not leave you with "loose tissue" as was mentioned, our ability to produce a maximal force may be reduced in some circumstances but I'm not sure that's what they were trying to say. I think maybe they were confusing stretching with flexibility training since they mentioned explosive and balistic exercises and in that case they would be right. Flexibility training before a session actually increases the risk of injury.
Myth 5 - This one I believe was confusing because of the short time they had to explain it. The typical "cardio exercises" are what would be described as predominantly aerobic exercises. In these types of exercises you should be working below your anaerobic threshold which in simple terms means you should be able to produce enough energy without accumulating significant fatigue. To be able to do this one of the main energetic sources is the oxidation of lipids (aka fat). It is one of the longest processes our body has and it requires oxigen so that's why it is predominant in longer and moderate to low intensity exercises (not exclusively but it would be too long of a comment to explain that). All of this to say that yes, in layman's terms cardio does burn fat but I agree that diet is still the most important factor.
Myth 6 - This one was just disengenuous. Obviously this is said when comparing volume, saying that a person with a certain weight with a high fat percentage looks bigger than someone very muscular and lean with the same weight.
Myth 9 - While for beginners and even some intermediate individuals bodyweight can be a great option in certain exercises, strenght requires a specific kind of stimulation for its training to be effective. In other words it has a specific range in terms of volume and intensity in which the strenght gains will be optimized and in fact the main effect. A hypothetical individual who can do 100+ squats with bodyweight is simply not going to get any significative gains in terms of strenght to his/her quads using bodyweight exercises because even if we tried to manipulate the exercise to maximize the internal load it just wouldn't be enough.
Myth 17 - I understand they aproached this question from the point of view of a casual individual who is looking at exercising as a way to have fun and joy so I don't want to be too harsh here. From a general point of view we can say that yes, you should do whatever kind of activity you enjoy the most. If you enjoy dancing it wouldn't make sense to prescibe a basketball handling drill exercise, if you like swimming it wouldn't make sense to make you do strongman events. However if we're talking about exercise plans and even exercises, from the macro to the micro level there are absolutely bad exercises! As much as you may love power lifting, if you have high blood pressure this activity represents a very high risk to you. If you have a past injury that severely affects the integrity of your joints, bones or ligaments you should probably stay away from combat sports. Even if you have no known counter-indicators there are always correct and incorrect ways to perform most exercises so this is where we have to look at it from a health and wellness point of view and be very careful with the kind of advice we give to people.
Anyway probably most people haven't read half of this but I just wanted to contribute myself to this discussion so that everyone can be better educated and achieve their goals. :)
This really helped thank you! I was so confused at parts, I just want to know the healthiest way to lose weight.
Thanks a lot for your detailled explainations :-)
You're clearly passionate about it. Good for you my friend, keep it up
Loved the detailed explanation
Myth 9 is just lack of knowledge in calisthenics, there are always advanced bodyweight exercises one can do to gain more muscle. If squats are too easy to you, try pistol squats, if they're easy too then try explosive pistol squats. Push-ups are too easy? try planche push-ups or handstand push-ups if you want to focus on shoulders.
Women will not get ripped from lifting a 10 lb dumbbell. If that was the case then I would only be working out 5 minutes a day
Lol I lift 15 to 20 so I might get ripped
I can confirm, since I’m a woman, I lift 14kg dumbbells (like 30 pounds?), and I’m not “ripped”.

Great advice, glad to hear that Myth number 15 is not always applicable; consider a joint injury. Certainly it is best to rest that joint, and muscle-group; or at most go easy on that part of the body.🏋
"I think" - it's very good habit but this is not argument. "Can", "could", "may" - sounds very convincing. Nothing personally but plenty of gyms full of this kind of experts...
You have to try things out for yourself. It is nearly impossible to generalize, but things are not going that way either.
It's about helping every individual to find out what works best for them. Personalized plans and execution.
You can seek arguments, but they may not be true in your own context!

Commenting on Myth 12:
It could be any number of things, I wasn’t doing a rigorous scientific study or anything, but I believe that putting an electrolyte tablet into my water has helped me during and after my workouts. When I was getting just water, I often left the gym with a sort of mild brain fog. If you’re having that problem and you’re drinking just water during your workouts, I definitely recommend giving the salt a try, like they said, or an electrolyte tablet, which will probably taste better.
How much salt?
3:18 A pound of bricks and a pound of feather may weigh the same, but the bricks take up less space. If the have equal amounts, you'll find the bricks are heavier.
The explanation given by the trainer really took me out of the video.
Muscle is denser, therefore, you will weigh more at the same physical measurements while muscular than you would if you were fat.
I’m glad they addressed rest is vital to good physical health. It’s something that’s not mentioned often. Regular sleep is so important for physical, mental, and emotional health.
HindsightPOV
Really I hear that all the time
King Lazo
Rest being mentioned pales in comparison to how often diet and exercise are mentioned. A lot of people I know who work out are oblivious to the importance of sleep and have very irregular sleeping cycles.
A lot of high-functioning athletes sleep 12 hours a day, such as Roger Federer
Resting like 24hr. A day is very essential.
They meant like take rest days. As in don't work out a specific part for some period of time to allow muscle to repair. But yeah sleep is important too

Don’t feel discouraged about slow progress in the gym. Don’t let your doubts become reality, shed negative thoughts, and put in the work! Every day counts as progress.
My workout has stayed the same since my days in the Army as a Grunt ( almost 15 years ago) We started with about 10 minutes of warming up and stretching. We then followed that with a 3-5 mile run at a no slower than 7:30 per mile. Usually the bulk of us were hitting 7's. After we would walk off for about 3-5 minutes, catching our breath hands behind your head back straight chest out. After the 5 or 3 if you were being macho, we would hit the floor and crack out as many pushups as we could in 2 minutes. Most of us were hitting 60, some guys were hitting 70+. Then immediately sit-ups, 2 minutes, as much as you can perfect form and posture. 75+ was generally the minimum. After, breath for 45 seconds, then pullups, full dead hang. Most Grunts were hitting 15-20. After, end it with squats, 2 minutes, as much as you can, about 80 was the norm. If your ass weighed under 200lbs you got weighted (meaning we threw a ruck on you) That setup mixed with a balanced diet has kept my body rock hard, even now in my mid 40's. My times and numbers aren't as high as they use to be, but it's still my staple and one I recommend.
Just reading that i got tired
@@randomina465 wow

So apart from warming up an running, your workout is about 10-15 min long
These myths are basically a "yes, but you have to do something else to make it true."
Yes those myths are a 2 step program
underrated comment
Basically these aren't myths. They are more like misconceptions.
Yeah. A lot of these videos are not actually debunking myths, they're adding clarifications to statements and that's something entirely different.
Right. You can get a six pack doing crunches. They just won't show unless you diet. muscles technically are heavier than fat when the two are equal volumes. Not everyone drinks Gatorade, and some sports drinks have more electrolytes than others. They're forcing the myths to sound as simple as possible so they can look like they're debunking them.
Muscle does weigh more than fat if you're weighing identical volumes.
which means muscle is denser
Sigaamani - which means it weighs more.
If a body is full muscle, it’ll weight more than a body full of fat, which is what the question means.

@@SaiyanLegacy calories are a measure of energy so it doesn't matter.
@@VaughanHandyman Also "Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat..." which is categorically incorrect. Proteins contain 4 calories per gram, fat contains 9 calories per gram, so energy-wise, muscles end up weighing more than twice as much as fat. Also, as said in the video, muscle cells are more dense than fat, which is what a lot of people mean when they say muscles weigh more than fat (as in 'you have a leaner frame at the same weight if your body fat is low').

After almost one year (June 2019) I've lost about 70 pounds after years of eating bad things. I changed what I was doing and have mainly just walked. Now don't get me wrong, I also do other things like lift weights, cardio (while I walk/jog), push ups, sit ups, etal but all in all it was the changes I made.
I like what was said close to the end of this. Start slow, don't expect change in a month, find what you like and just keep doing it and take time to rest.
What I did was find something that was a bad habit and change that with doing something that was instead a good thing for myself, I lost the bad habit and now look forward to my early morning 5 mile walks. I do rest once a week but I think that is going to change after June. I think I may change it up every other day. One day, exercise the next day my cardio walk/jog.
I started at 252 and am now down to 184 as of this morning. Yes I'm amazed at what I've done because, honestly I didn't think I could. I'll be turning 65 in July. I also went from a 42 inch waist to now a 34. I feel GREAT!
WoW great job!🥳🥳
Let’s gooo keep up the good work
wow you can really be proud about yourself, as you fought your inner enemy, the bad habits and the lazzy little kid, we all have inside us, but as you said change doesn't come over night, it takes a daily effort!

3:12 They don't debunk anything, they just correct the phrasing. Everytime someone says muscle weighs more than fat, you know they mean it's denser
Yeah what a bogus video
I'd even go so far as to say that they do mean weight, and they just assumed equal volume was implied
not everyone knows that.... that's why the correct terminology is important
Its just pure BS and so many people can’t tell.
Every person that 'debunks' this by saying, essentially, that a pound equals a pound, are demonstrating abject stupidity, while implying the questioners are far more stupid than they. In truth, they lack inferential thinking skills, to not be capable of comprehending that, yes, this question is about volume, not weight.

Sorry 😐
Crunches can give you abs actually. Also more resistance when doing ab work also make abs bigger. Whether the abs become visible or not is another story.
I'm having a hard time believing the part about cardio. I've been doing only cardio (currently 4 hours of swimming and 3 hours of fast walking on an inclined treadmill) for about 7 months, I've lost 16 kg and keep losing more, with barely any changes to my diet, if anything I'm eating more than I used to. My body looks and feels more muscular and stronger than it was, when, if this video is to be believed, I should be weaker.
What you need for six pack :
1. Abs exercise
2. Calories deficit
3. Good lighting

Wow, i didn't expect so much likes.
Serious tips :
For overall core strength and definition, forget situp and crunches. Do plank, you'll notice big difference in first week. Do harder variation when normal plank becomes too easy. A variation you can do no more than 1 minute
But make sure you do it correctly to reap the benefits. Here is how it looks like : th-cam.com/video/kL_NJAkCQBg/w-d-xo.html

COME ON BRUH
And then talking about pink Himalayan salt ...
@@AlphaCentauriB yes. The most way to hydrate is to consume salt. This guy...
I don't think there are enough minerals in water. That's why mineral water exists. Salt is a rock so obviously it's going to have minerals.
@@professionalfangster1510 water makes transportation of nutrients easier and it replaces calorie dense. It also boost your metabolism and aswell as hydrates while youe excersise. Salt isnt just a rock and although it is necessary for your diet these days people consume it too much. Also salt draws out moisture so wtf
He's not saying gatorade and water not effective, he's saying there are way better alternatives , just like pink himalayan salt. Ideally you want sodium and and a hypotonic solution
I feel like this misses some important caveats. In particular while static stretching before excercise is probably not what you want it's at really important to do a thorough warm up or you risk injury and will have lower performance.
This girl is so right. We are all made differently we have different bodies different likes different passions be active. And a variety of foods give you access to more nutrients and different body movements will work with different muscles. And doing different things actually helps keep things from being boring
Having abs from being skinny is different than having abs because you train them.

@@joseaguirre744 breasts are breast tissue but some people store fat in their breasts others dont.

It differs from person to person, but for most people breasts are breast tissue and whether or not they are big depends on how much breast tissue they have.
@@ryanmiller5113 Thank you! It's true, breasts are breast tissue, but it depends from one to another how much fat is stored in them. You can see it in the variety; those who are prone to store more fat in their breast, will usually have smaller ones if they lose weight. And those who lose weight around their body, but not in their breast, usually have more breast tissue and less fat.

But when he said that people say 'muscle weigh more than fat' and he explained... I just wanna yell WE ARE NOT THAT DUMB BROTHER...we know 1 pound of meat is equal to 1 pound of feathers but when we say muscle weigh more than fat, its with the silent assumption of same volume...so basically we are saying mucle is denser than fat.
jeet shah exactly! this bothers me so much jesus christ
He’s just saying the statement “muscle weighs more than fat” is a myth but he would agree that if you had a sample of fat and muscle that were the same volume, the muscle would weigh more.
After saying it, he went into explaining that muscle is more dense than fat, and that if you put on muscle then you will weigh more.
Yeah, I doubt anyone was that dumb. The myth is just not scientifically worded, but people mean the same.

i felt that. idk if you're into video games at all, but it can be pretty easy to work some exercise into your gaming experience. for example, my brother would do 10-20 squats every time he died while playing dark souls (he'd stop the squats for the day if he hit a really high number like 180). i think this idea could also be worked into things like watching youtube and doing 5-10 push-ups for every 15-20 minutes of content you watch etc. i know you were joking so i'm sorry if this comment is annoying. just wanted to share in case it could be helpful to someone :)

"The goal is not to look bulky, but the goal is to be a healthy person."
>85% men want more muscle, and they struggle achieving that
a woman saying she'll get too much muscle from resistance training is irrational
the amount of muscles men and women want differ though. Maybe the “muscle” that most men have a hard time achieving is already perceived as too “bulky”for women.
@Lady
Well not for >99.5% of people. Men have testosterone, which builds muscle without the person working out or doing cardio. Women are far more efficient at storing fat, an evolutionary trait for pregnancies, and they don’t have testosterone.
I’m not saying women can’t look bulky, or that my standards for bulkiness are universal. My main point is just that resistance training is beneficial for >99.5% of people. This includes men and women, and that averse effects are unlikely, especially if you do so with proper and reasonable advice.
yeah i love it when they say that, as if building muscle happens accidently. You never see people get big accidently, stop worrying lol
Many people don’t realize just how much work and time it takes build muscle- you don’t just accidentally get too muscular
Alexis Misselyn Women actually do have testosterone. They just have much lower levels of testosterone compared to men.
Myth #12 has a mistake. Plain water is fine. Unless you have a horrible junk food diet, such 'trace' minerals will always be plentiful in your body.
still can't get over how "LA" that sounded haha. like nah if you're worried about getting your minerals, you have bigger issues than working out bruh

One important myth it's to think you need to train for 3 hours in the gym to have a great body.
Like in 30 or 45 minutes you can get a great routine, along good nutrition and you're set if you know what you're doing.
A statement I always hear is that "You can't workout only one side of your body". As in "You can't workout one arm and expect it to get bigger than the other"
I can't logically wrap my head around this. Logic dictates if you work out one arm, that arm will definitely get bigger/stronger than the other side.
I think that this myth specifically refers to "spot reducing" for body fat, where people do crunches and planks to remove body fat around the belly which is not how it works. You can't spot reduce fats by doing exercises that target specific body parts since body fats are reduced as a whole.
What JV said. You can increase muscle in specific areas, but you can’t reduce fat in any specific area.
