I was legitimately sitting at my computer with spread sheets for calorie counting, spent hundreds online on workout assist tools and weight scales and special calculated meals sent to your house. My results were slow and negligible. One day I said to myself, "You know what? Let's just go. Go, go, go." Drove to my nearest 3 MMA / karate / boxing centers and dojos and spoke with the instructors. Took all of their one-time free courses and picked the one I melded with the best and signed up. Boom, dropped from 240 to 215, went from pale to tan, and after 7 years of not being able to I can finally touch my toes! Gentlemen : Listen to what he is telling you in this video. Simplify and ACT. Planning and being organized is always good but at the end of the day you have to get MOVING!
@@cherobinson6371boxing has to be one of the best condition training sports out there i’ve been to mma gyms and the kind of intensity that goes on in boxing gyms is astronomical and i’m not saying boxing is a better art because it’s not but if you want to get fit fast and have the condition of a behemoth ?..boxing
Pushups, Pullups, Squats I think anyone who wants to get fitter and stronger should start with these. Then you can always add more exercises afterwards!
@@Wise_Pito Major respect for still putting the work in at your age, sir 🫡 Keep it up and thanks for sharing your training methods! I’ll definitely take your point about keeping the mind strong too - been trying to learn German myself via Duolingo these last 12 months! It’s fun learning it and definitely not as hard as some may make it out to be.
Depression often times is simply monkey mind like you say just over analyzing everything from nutrition to what workout is the best,etc. Paraalysis by analysis. great video I did burpees, jumprope, and hit the bag this morning
my biggest improvement on my fitness journey was stop counting calories, stop weight check every morning and create long ass workout plan.I'm not an athlete or a bodybuilder so why i gotta complicating my workout plan🤷♂️. be simple y'all if you want to keep grinding My program now are consists of lift heavy shit, run and sprint, ton of pull up and burpees. i looks good rn and at my best shape of my life.
Very true. I keep my workout simple. 3 days x2 per week. Shoulder Pushups, Chest pushups Pullups or Chinups Lunges and Squats Shoulder Pushups, Chest pushups Pullups or Chinups Lunges and Squats Sunday
You seems a simple man but you address the main concerns of our lives: not confusing happiness with pleasure, appreciating efforts and cultivating modesty and low profile. Accepting difficulties and bad feeling and using this negative to make it a positive energy via a disciplined fighting sport routine. You understood the way which each of us has to follow. Don’t know you but you are a brother in saoul man. Keep showing the road via your video at your scale, too much people are unfortunately totally lost in our current world. 🤜🏻❤
When my kids were small I made my garage into a dojo with bags, jump ropes, tire and sledgehammer, battle ropes and all that stuff. Super easy to just walk out back and I could run back in the house if needed. Now they are in college so I go to a boxing gym 5 minutes away. I can make it there 4 or 5 times a week easy. It’s a fair point, the simpler it is to get after it the greater the chance you will.
True words about keeping it simple. I had the same mindset as you mentioned and lost 90 pounds in 3 months. And boxing, HIIT, keto and intermittent fasting are my go-to routine.
Building muscle, building speed, losing fat, learning skills, etc. this is all simple, I have no idea why everyone is trying to overcomplicate simple tasks.
This is a great training philosophy. It’s so easy to get caught up in the thought process in the planning phase. It’s even easier to justify getting stuck in this planning phase because you think you are setting yourself up for success when really you are just delaying the journey. Thank you, this is what I needed. I need to stop over complicating things and overthinking things and just pick simple goals simple workout simple exercises and just get it done
I was going to the gym and spending at least 2 hours a day in there, slow relentless grinding and not really enjoying it. BOOM COVID hit and I’m left with a skipping rope, a pull up bar and my back garden. 3 months later I’m in the best shape and totally believe it body weight exercises and cardio for the best shape! Great Chanel Chez keep it up mate we love it
My main exercises are squats (in various kinds, often inspired by kung fu stances to improve my mobility as well, or jumping to improve my cardio and explosiveness) Pullups Push ups (in different ways, diamond, regular, with fists, with chairs, with arms wide open etc) Mountain climber and dinamic planks Shadowboxing/ "bag" work
This is so true, I am sticking to basics, and I never have a problem working out, and also, my results are amazing. Go in, crush it, and get out, that's it...
I couldn't agree more, especially in the martial arts community today. With so many options, we tend to overtrain and oversubscribe to many different styles. We become hoarders of techniques. I started Muay Thai back in Southeast Asia, and back then, it was just a heavy bag and a pair of pads. We did a lot of fundamental drills, conditioning, and sparring. My instructor, Kru Koon, coached us to focus on mastering a handful of techniques to turn us into effective fighters. People need to remember that simple doesn't mean easy. The objective is to be effective in achieving the outcome we want.
This guy is hilarious with the running track just to fight better on the streets! But he's talking about something so essential which has taken me years to understand: simplifying EVERYTHING. Very well-rounded set of skills he has. Makes sense too if he's from Hawaii - I've met some incredible fighters from there; very strong mental/spiritual people but extremely good fighters too. Don't mess with people from Hawaii!
That's a good philosophy to have . Enjoyed seeing how you hit the heavy bag with ease. Years ago my downfall was procrastinating about every technique and sometimes I feared working out as well. You name it and I probably suffered it. I'm more relaxed today .I work out a little and I never try to show of any of my skills anymore the way that I used to. Mike in Denver😊
Brother, you are so correct. I practice Tang Soo Do and I'm guilty of sometimes waking up and trying to get into the complex movements and getting mad because I'm 52 and not able to do what I used to do. But you're right after buying these fitness books and looking at these ways to stretch differently. The fact is when I just work through my drills go through the exercise. I'm going to use that 10 minute philosophy. You have really turned my light bulb on. I've got to go back to the basics and keep it simple. Thank you brother. Appreciate it
Man you really hit home with this one because I keep everything simple…personal Life included..All training is is doing the same simplethings over and over building yourself up
My first time coming across your channel and watching your content. Subscribed halfway thru the video. Love the raw authenticity, story telling and simplicity of this. Cheers
Love you sharing your experiences man, appreciate that and can relate One of if not my favorite quote is: Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. - Dale Carnegie I still tend to overthink at times but reminding me helps 👊🏻
Agreed. 3yrs ago I was very consistent, 4-5x a week working out (even twice a day sometimes) simply cause I never over thought it. Had a workout plan, thought "seems good" and went. Felt good and repeat.
Dude !!! OUTSTANDING ethos and wisdom here. THANK YOU for sharing this as it’s a very critical message; I never heard of you until 3 minutes ago but I’ve now subbed. Your little space there is beautiful and I love the design and color of your fence-cool colors🤙🏼🤙🏼Stay safe brother!
I was going to say you might want to incorporate jump rope into your workout, and then at 4:20 you came on with jump rope workout love it my brother! 💪🏽
What do you think about Indian Wrestler training? It’s similar to what you do with lots of calisthenics like Hindu pushups and bodyweight squats as well as swinging those giant clubs or a mace.
@@solslastcannula5665 yeah, l started using their training methods a couple of years ago. I’m liking the results. I usually do the “Gotch Bible” and I’ve mage some makeshift club out of 1L and 2L plastic bottles with sand and PVC pipe.
Dude i was an amater boxer when i was in my teens and then when i tried grappling (bjj + wrestling) in my twenties, boy was it an eye opener lol Little dudes who understand positioning and balance can sweep and submit you and its humbling Its a fun and amazing journey
I've noticed the same thing the more I try and complicate my workouts and think of I have to do these or this and all that the less physical work I get done and the more my mental stress Is induced. When I just wake up do basic workouts and go hard it feels way better. I think it's as simple as if your getting worked out your working out and theirs no need to overcomplicate it.
Thank you Chez, that’s been my workout routine these days too. Keep it simple. Also translate it to my artwork. It’s great and easy on the mind and soul
Yep. High intensity simple workouts 10 15 minutes a day. Or whenever. Its easy to give yourself to do this. You can do it. Buy some 10 15 20 dumbbells. And a jump rope. And youre set thats all you need. And this channel. I do my workouts close to this. A little different. But the idea is exactly the same. If you keep it simple keep it honest and keep it doable. Youll do it.
I agree on keeping it simple. Squats and deadlifts will ruin you're back . Lifting too heavy all the time will beat your body up . I learn that from 30 plus years of lifting weights. I keep it simple now , pushups , calisthenics , lifting moderate weight. I'm 45 , still strong as a bull and still putting on size 💪
Thanks brother your an inspiration. Your first bjj story was similar to mine my friend was aproxx 130 though and I was about 175 and he schooled me which showed me it is legit.
As a matter of fact a man should keep everything simple, not just his workouts

100% overthinking is poison, turn off the brain and just start doing shit 🔥
Three excellent choices!
Kettelbells, pull-ups, dips , bag work, walking
Simplicity has always been the key to keeping consistency in my routine

Get it done, a wonderful thing to be lighter and faster.
Love this vid. Perfect timing. I do a lot of overthinking. Developing anxiety, depression. Training is a good outlet. Get my mental steady.
You don't need an expensive bag to work out. I like that homemade bag
I extremely , profoundly , love your motto at the end.
Simple and consistent😎🤙🏾

The depression of inspired people who think too much. And make things complicated. Leads to inaction. I agree. And our stories are the same
Good shit Chez! I like what you said....Thanks for the videos!
FANTASTIC. Hugely inspiring sir. Thank you!
Impeccable form 👊🏾
