I used to do the deadmill for fun as a kid - my best friend's mum had a treadmill and we weren't allowed to switch it on but we'd play on it anyway. Turns out I was ripped af as a kid because my god it's a struggle now! I'm gonna miss this show so much after the 100 days are up
"We had to get that money!" Lord, Suzanna is no joke. And yes-I restarted my fitness regime after a bout of serious depression and have been following along with 100 days. It has really has helped me at work and with relationships.
Vertsea Now THAT is a great idea! But maaaaan they're full on busy people! Michael - well he's known for his take away so I wonder if he can actually cook!
"I was really relieved when Dr. Henry told me I could keep running, which is not a sentence I ever thought I would say." That's exactly what exercise is like! Before you start it seems terrible but you start loving it after a while, it becomes part of who you are and what you need to stay happy.
I signed up for a 10k myself and am training for it. These videos are such a great motivation! I'm really gonna miss them! I totally get the 'I'd never thought I'd say I'm happy to keep running' thing, cause I feel the same. I even brought my trainers with me on holidays to Sweden and Schottland! Crazy!
John I'm pretty sure a sensory deprivation pod actually counts as meditation. It's a different kind but seems like it's accomplishing the same thing. Maybe it's just a better fit for you.
I am a chronically fit guy who watches a good amount of fitness videos on youtube for instruction and guidance, and I gotta that this channel is more enjoyable and inspiring than any other. Thanks guys!
I have also been doing a lot of self-improvement lately. I've gone from exercising zero times per week to three times per week, improved my sleep schedule and improved my time planning. I didn't initially think it had anything to do with watching 100 days, but now that I look back it falls exactly into the same time period. That said, there were also personal factors that coincided such as dropping grades in my university courses and a general sense of not having my life together the way I want to and not progressing the way I want to. Nevertheless, the correlation between 100 days and my personal self-improvement is very close and I believe that it has at least helped me take (and maintain!) action in a life situation that demanded it. This despite the lack of any prior commitment to join John and Chris in their journey! I would therefore like to thank and praise you for the work that you are doing. I am convinced that I am not alone in being inspired to think about how to improve myself, achieve goals and develop good habits and - more importantly - execute the necessary steps to succeed!
I am really proud of you guys, I am struggling to finally make permanent life changes. I went the diet route too many times to count but over the last two years I have made a very real effort to change little things over time to find what works for me. I have "fell off the wagon" a few times but so far I have lost and (most important) kept off 50 lbs. I still have about 60 to 70 lbs to go but I am happy with the progress I have made. I also have noticed a definite improvement in my mental health. I have been plagued on and off with bouts of depression and manic episodes for most of my life. But since regularly exercising the number of bad days has decreases significantly. I have found joy in lifting weights instead of straight cardio which I find so boring after a short time. I also found spending time riding bikes with my son to be fun and bonding. I will never be a fitness nut but I do realize the need for a healthy diet and routine exercise/activity. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I started running about 8 years ago, completing my first half marathon in 2011. Then, about 2 years later, got turned on to trail running. While I still do the occasional road run/race (just did the San Francisco Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon last weekend), I would rather send any run in the freezing cold rain covered in mud. John's comment that running trails was so much more enjoyable to running on a treadmill is 100% on point in my book.
I've been doing couch to 5k for 4 weeks and feeling really proud of myself. I can't say I like running but I feel better about myself for doing it. Unfortunately with my job it hasn't had the benefit of being good for my mental health, I'm way more stressed out! (Not cause of the running but meh) Good job guys. I wish this would go on for longer. It's my motivation to keep going
I've been feeling so validated by your journey, John, because it's almost identical -- same issues and everything -- as my own. Except instead of 100 days, mine has taken 10 years. But still. Samesies! I still struggle to log my food; when I get home from my workouts (bodyCOMBAT for me), I start eating and just can't stop. I know that if I stopped to log each food, I wouldn't go overboard, but I just . . . lose all control. I hate that. But what I've learned during this journey is that I'll get there eventually. I believe in myself now. :)
Totally relate to John's injury concerns. I just messed my knee up over the weekend at a tournament and am so frustrated about not being able to exercise like I had been the last few months.
*remembers when I was going to follow along with their workouts* lol that didn't happen! But seeing the positive effects for John is a HUGE motivator! The fact that he looks forward to working out is something I can strive for!
OMG I THOUGHT MY COACH WAS JUST CRAZY. He one day just made us do deadmills and as a athlete they murdered me still. At my top condition I still hated them. mad respect. Yes they really really REALLY SUCK
I'm glad your knee injury turned out alright John. I've been playing Roller Derby and rec league soccer and volleyball since September but last Monday I broke a bone in my foot and found out today the road to recovery is 3 months long. Now I need to find some fitness alternatives. This project is certainly an inspiration, and if anyone out there has any suggestions for my recovery period fitness I'd be super thankful!
Hey, having been A runner for a long time and having suffered some injuries from it, I'd like to offer some advice. I understand that it's a great sport, but know that it is very hard on the joints and hard to keep up as you get older... If you ever find yourself Getting worried about this or if more injuries start to show up, I recommend you Either invest in a road bike (I know you've been biking occasionally) or try rowing. I highly recommend you try Rowing. it's a sport I Do every day and there are many 80 year olds who still go on the water and have no joint problems. It's also a great outdoor aerobic workout with a lot of nice scenery, just like running. Anyways, I love the show and your books and am so inspired that you guys chose to make this change! I hope that you are able to instil habits that will last a life time. Best wishes to you and your family.p.s please look up The basics of rowing online, it'll make it much more enjoyable and safe on the machine!
Precor exercise machines are pretty cool. I go to on of my university gyms and found out that the machines are NOT powered (except for the treadmill). All the elliptical machines and exercise bikes are simply powered by you exercising (and they can stay on for like 20 seconds after you stop pedaling). Really neat and useful for a place like a gym where you literally have like 20 machines in a relatively small space. The reason I mention this is that that is what those deadmills in this video are. They have screens on them but they get all that power from the people using them to exercise. Really neat.
That trailrunning gets inside you. Now I'm 58 and running makes my knees ache, so I'm kind of lost generally. Actually though, backpacking is better physically, mentally, and emotionally.
When I switched to trail running I found most of my "impact" type pains (knees/hips) subsided substantially due to the softer surface. Also - at least here in the South - trail races have a much more laidback feel to them than road races. Also - there's always beer at the finish line. #ILoveTrailRunning
Sense dep float tank! Been wanting to try one of those for... 25 years? They are so intriguing to me. Now I have even more motivation to try to bring my phone in there to compare to your footage, and see if I can prove you wrong. ;)
I am also dependent on exercise in order to feel goog mentally and physically, but right now I can't even walk for 10 minutes because of a knee injury. I look forward to these videos, but they also make me sad.
When I was younger my grandparents had a treadmill that for some reason didn't work and I used to do the deadmill exercise, it wasn't that exhausting when I did it but then again I only walked on it for like 3 or 4 seconds at a time, so I understand how 50 seconds of it could be the worst 50 seconds of 100 days
I'm really interested in how the rules you set yourself has changed your relationship to food. This is also something I struggle with and have yet to figure out how to manage successfully.
Liked at your best week of eating. Floating is great! It definitely sounds like that is the right path for you. you can even have shorter sessions more often. PS- I love dead mill sprints :x to each their own ^^
John, could you talk more about the benefits to your work and concentration? I know you talked specifically about your mental health in an earlier episode (which I really appreciated) but as a struggling grad student I could use some insight on balancing work/life/workout/writing.
As a fellow grad student, I have an unsolicited experience to offer. I'm just finishing up my masters and I've got to say that incorporating at least 30 mins of exercise into my day has been the best decision I've made for my productivity. I don't know what your course versus research breakdown is, but I know without the structure of a packed class schedule I was really struggling to get going early and stay productive during the day. My first year I just kind of (unintentionally) dropped exercise altogether because I just didn't feel I had any time. But the truth is I did, I just wasn't prioritising it. Since I've reincorporated regular workouts into my day I find myself staying on task, getting way more done and managing to keep a 9-5 schedule that has been so much more healthy for me than the "work sporadically and at all hours out of stress" kind of approach that I fell into originally. It's a good grounding activity to get me going and my head's always clearer afterwards. Also, if you have a friend to take an exercise class with or run with at least once a week it's a great motivator and for me helps fight that grad school isolation. I started going to a pilates class with a classmate and led to a joint writing session once a week. Good luck with your degree!
I've been so stoked to see Sarah get in and basically show the guys up, but I never noticed until this video who ripped she actually is. I mean, that is one finely defined pair of muscular structures on her arms!
A bit of an odd question for John... Since you have discovered how good exercise has been for your own mental health do you ever feel the need to preach (maybe that's the wrong word, but I think it expresses the sentiment) the important or usefulness of physical activity? I found exercise to be a really important part of maintaining my mental health and dealing with stress and depression when I made the transition to University and I could never quite express to people the importance running had for my mental health. I also would sometimes find myself exclaiming the virtues of exercise to close friends to the point where I was told I sounded a bit like someone who had found religion and wanted to share it with everyone. I know everyone has their own experience with mental and physical health, but my own experience and all the evidence from scientific research I've read during my college career makes it seem like the closest thing to a silver bullet for mental health. Just wondering about your experience or if you have any thoughts about this.
Was that sensory deprivation tank at A Place To Float in Indy? I saw they recently opened but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. It looks really nice if it is!
Chris, try to keep your weight in your heels when squatting, and keep your chest upright. I see you lifting those heels at the bottom! It partially has to do with mobility in the ankles and hips if you have trouble with it. Those sessions with Susana look incredibly difficult but also like a ton of fun. Even if Chris loses the picture thing and has to do the extra workout with Susana I bet John will go do it with him.
I would love to hear what Sarah had to say about the boxing workout! Did she like it? Did she think it was as hard as her normal pilates/barre workout?
I thought the title was sarcastic. I envy the punching bag. My gym considers them 'too aggressive' for a family-friendly environment. Really impressed to see you push through those weighted push-up things even as your arms were shaking. OMG - Sensory Deprivation Pods - watch Altered States if you haven't already.
I like Deadmills. Of course I've never heard them called that before. I thought I was just being a weirdo. I used to have a manual treadmill that you could tighten so it was something I didn't think about until I was older and saw the electrical ones.
**John, how did you become able to control your cravings???** was it just the strict rules you put in place for yourself? or was there some other advice from (Erica Gallmeyer?) that worked?
John congrats for tracking ur food and eating so much better.....it's so nice to see that ur following the rules u set, ...ur an inspiration for us. p.s. : can someone tell me why is deadmill so hard...I'm intrigued
You're using your own power to turn the motors that would have been turned for you when the treadmill is on, so instead of just keeping your legs turning in place, you'll be doing a lot of extra work. How hard it is probably depends on the treadmill model. (I'm not even going to pretend I know exactly what's in there and how it's connected, but this should be the gist of it.)
I'm having a difficult time navigating the community tab to the exercises. Is there something I'm missing or do I just have to scroll through all the food?
Deadmill?
Damn! I thought it was a reference to the treadmill Chris broke
Does anyone else really want to see John redo his fitness for nerds workout
+
+
+
omg! I'd forgotten all about that!!!
+
John just admitted to enjoying being outside! I'm so proud
I used to do the deadmill for fun as a kid - my best friend's mum had a treadmill and we weren't allowed to switch it on but we'd play on it anyway. Turns out I was ripped af as a kid because my god it's a struggle now!
I'm gonna miss this show so much after the 100 days are up
ThatWouldBeCareless haha same here!
I did that too with my mom's old treadmill.
"We had to get that money!" Lord, Suzanna is no joke.
And yes-I restarted my fitness regime after a bout of serious depression and have been following along with 100 days. It has really has helped me at work and with relationships.
Can we get 2 more people to do the 100days after they are done?
aHighway2Hell +++

Hank Green and Michael Aranda
+nemodot I thought so, but would hank be interested?
He's busy, like excessively
Second that!
Does anyone else want to see John and Hank do another Quadragocon now?
+
rainingonsunday21 OMG YES
rainingonsunday21 +
Oh yeah.
Yes!!!
Great! So sad its coming to an end though
+
I love how you segway from "Great!" to "so sad"
I would kill for Hank and Michael Aranda to continue this after John and Chris are done.
Vertsea Now THAT is a great idea! But maaaaan they're full on busy people! Michael - well he's known for his take away so I wonder if he can actually cook!
Vertsea ++++

"I was really relieved when Dr. Henry told me I could keep running, which is not a sentence I ever thought I would say."
That's exactly what exercise is like! Before you start it seems terrible but you start loving it after a while, it becomes part of who you are and what you need to stay happy.
John you're looking more fit! I see a profound change! Nicely done!
Damn John I guess I should have known you were rich but your living room is like really nice and that tv is huge
I think this is the most we've ever seen of your house John. It's beautiful and homey at the same time, a difficult balance to strike.
I signed up for a 10k myself and am training for it. These videos are such a great motivation! I'm really gonna miss them!
I totally get the 'I'd never thought I'd say I'm happy to keep running' thing, cause I feel the same. I even brought my trainers with me on holidays to Sweden and Schottland! Crazy!
John I'm pretty sure a sensory deprivation pod actually counts as meditation. It's a different kind but seems like it's accomplishing the same thing. Maybe it's just a better fit for you.
I badly want to soak in a sensory deprivation pod. It seems like such an amazing thing.
surprised john hasn't realized chris' strategy of getting the extra workout to gain the fitness advantage for the 10k run, advanced strats
John, it's everything that's making you feel so great. You've uncovered your greatness; it's always been there. Sara's always known.
I am a chronically fit guy who watches a good amount of fitness videos on youtube for instruction and guidance, and I gotta that this channel is more enjoyable and inspiring than any other. Thanks guys!
The awesome progress these guys have made makes me happy.

I wish the f*cking majestic shirts came in a cut that was more fitted and looked nice on people with breasts. I want my workout clothes to look cute!
Sarah Day In other words you want to look like what your shirt says 😛
We are so far in already !!! I don't want 100 days to end :(
I am really proud of you guys, I am struggling to finally make permanent life changes. I went the diet route too many times to count but over the last two years I have made a very real effort to change little things over time to find what works for me.

Deadmills are brutal.
Chris is really buffing up, and, as a part time runner, I'm delighted to see John really enjoy his running. Keep it up guys.
I love that your mental health is so much better, John!
Can we have Sarah and someone else do 100 Days after you guys?
+

Though as a former boxer, Sarah will have a very different journey. Still be fun to watch of course.

how to go from fit to Olympian in 100 days?
I started running about 8 years ago, completing my first half marathon in 2011. Then, about 2 years later, got turned on to trail running.

John's comment that running trails was so much more enjoyable to running on a treadmill is 100% on point in my book.
One of my favorite parts about this series has been John's changing attitude and approach to exercise.
awe John! you've come so far!! you did it!!
This is so inspirational
Never heard of the deadmill! Awesome!
I'm so glad you can keep on running. Not being able to run after you've become dependent on it is so hard!
you cant possibly measure how happy I feel knowing that the running bug bit you! welcome to the club!
I've been doing couch to 5k for 4 weeks and feeling really proud of myself. I can't say I like running but I feel better about myself for doing it.
Unfortunately with my job it hasn't had the benefit of being good for my mental health, I'm way more stressed out! (Not cause of the running but meh)
Good job guys. I wish this would go on for longer. It's my motivation to keep going
It's so rewarding to see you guys working so hard and enjoying it even. Keep up the great work!

John looks soooo much happier
I'm so glad you have succeeded in sticking to your diet rules :)
This is so cool how opposite John's perspective is from before he started.
This is great. Can we see another 100 day journey afterwards? Either somebody else or John and Chris going even further?
Man I love this channel in going to be so sad when it ends
That trailrunning gets inside you. Now I'm 58 and running makes my knees ache, so I'm kind of lost generally. Actually though, backpacking is better physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I'm going to miss Chris so much when this is over.
Float tank/sensory deprivation pods are the best John! They are so great and when I have a hard time meditating they kinda force me into it.
love the Eames chair!
could Chris narrate one episode of 100 days?
Second comment! I am never this early. I will be sad when this ends though. It did inspire me to take better care of myself. Thanks John and Chris!!
injury avoidance is a really interesting part of the exercise puzzle to me. One of the hardest to crack
WHAT WERE ALL OF THOSE PAPERS BY THE TV JOHN??? ARE THEY THE SAME AS WHATS IN THE MYSTERIOUS BOXES???

That last part of you on the treadmill you look so fit, like literally look in top shape i'm jealous.

Definitely brag about your good food week! Brag, brag, brag!! It's great :)
Great job on that 8 mile per hour pace, that is hard. I have done that in the past, and I want to get back to it.
I used to do "the deadmill" when i was younger. Never thought that wa a thing!
You go guys ! Oh and Go Sarah Go too!
John you should explore a keto diet. Changed my life and eliminated my carb addiction
Yep, me too.
Liked at your best week of eating. Floating is great! It definitely sounds like that is the right path for you. you can even have shorter sessions more often. PS- I love dead mill sprints :x to each their own ^^

you look great!
wight paper stacked in background is john signing books again have he finished his book
5:27 is an incredibly flattering image. Not sarcasm.
We finally reached the 100 Day time period!

I like Deadmills. Of course I've never heard them called that before.
I thought I was just being a weirdo. I used to have a manual treadmill that you could tighten so it was something I didn't think about until I was older and saw the electrical ones.
Does anyone else want to see them edit a training montage out of this at the end?
**John, how did you become able to control your cravings???**
was it just the strict rules you put in place for yourself?
or was there some other advice from (Erica Gallmeyer?) that worked?
Why do you have a world book encyclopedia from 1983?
Have you ever read one of them! OMG it's so fascinating!
If you read one from 1984, then it would be full of newspeak.

John you look so toned holy cow!
Maybe now we could do 100 days of crocheting or diving lol
john is going to join in the work out even after he wins.
Your hips shouldn't be moving so much in the renegade rows, John. Try and keep the core tighter and you will really, really feel the burn!

John congrats for tracking ur food and eating so much better.....it's so nice to see that ur following the rules u set, ...ur an inspiration for us. p.s. : can someone tell me why is deadmill so hard...I'm intrigued
You're using your own power to turn the motors that would have been turned for you when the treadmill is on, so instead of just keeping your legs turning in place, you'll be doing a lot of extra work. How hard it is probably depends on the treadmill model. (I'm not even going to pretend I know exactly what's in there and how it's connected, but this should be the gist of it.)
It's kinda like lifting deadweight. But with legs.
ohh...I see... pretty hard
So proud of you, John!
I remember doing deadmills when I was a kid and we had a treadmill that had no power. Was kind of fun.

I'm having a difficult time navigating the community tab to the exercises. Is there something I'm missing or do I just have to scroll through all the food?

Hold up, if I wasn't at least 99% sure that was John's voice talking, I would have said sensory deprivation pods sound like John's worst nightmare!
