Im obese, I was in shape, and now im just effed because i let myself wallow in depression and become a lazy fatass. Im really working on getting healthy, eating well, doing strength training, all that. Im too broke for a personal trainer so i really appreciate people like you that are looking out for the rest of us. We really need more of the world to care about health and nutrition and to spread the word.
Hope your doing well man.. I was in shape and lost it too.. I'm very overweight and feel horrible but I did start walking a week ago.. hope we both get back to where we want to be
Exact same situation . I didn’t realise getting back into shape was gonna be this difficult . Oh well, it’s gonna make it that much more worthwhile and rewarding for us .
As a morbidly obese person who's going in completely blind on my own for a massive lifestyle change, this was genuinely so helpful. I'm down 57 lbs, with a LOT still left to go. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do food wise, but whatever I'm doing has been working, at least. I'm going to try to incorporate a lot of these tips, even the colored stickers around my home for physical activity. I loved this video!
congrats brother hope you’re still going strong right now. I have a question though, thought you’re journey since your started have you considered doing a fast or have you already done one? and how was it and did it help while working out?
You can tell the quality of a channel by how civilised the comments section is. This is a nice place to be if you're facing one of the hardest tasks you'll ever face. Thank you.
Can I just say, I appreciate the compassion that you both have shown. I went through a depression spiral during covid, lost a lot of loved ones and started emotional eating. Now, I'm trying to get back in shape and some people can be cruel.❤
Thank you for all the free content you guys put out there! For me was so helpful to frame my health journey in terms of “gain and more” gain muscle, gain strength, gain balance and flexibility, more water, more vegetables, more quality sleep, more walks. Mentally it has been so empowering and energizing! Find a good trainer that you trust, and understand that is not a temporary fix BUT a learning process, you are educating yourself and learning how to do more of everything that is good for you and that works for you!
Just came across this. Really enjoyed it. I am currently working with a great trainer who meets me where I am, yet pushes/encourages me to get in better shape. He does not focus on the weight, but on my fitness. Helps me to improve my diet and life style. Wants me to set my goals to daily life. Be able to pick things up off the floor walk up stairs without becoming breathless. Thanks so much.
Love this advice, I started taking my brother to walk with me in the morning and he’s a bit over weight since zoom classes and it was hard for him at first but we started small, slow pace, taking breaks, but hopefully little changes can help him get and feel healthier.
Thank you today is my day 1 of transforming my life. I cant remember when i was actually in shape. But I started with my mind first with meditation 🧘♂️ and self healing from my past. Now I'm more to transform my life. I need to and want to change my life. I'm going back to school to change my career choice and this career is a passion of mines and more active moment then my previous career choice. So thats one motivation for me to be more actively moving. Another motivation is that i have someone in my life that wants to make a family with me. But my most important motivation is to the man I look at in the mirror everyday. Enough is enough and Im ready for the change. No matter how long it takes.
I started by just buying groceries more on the perimeter of the store instead of inside. I didn’t take things away but added more protein and veggies. Like he said it naturally made me eat less junk because I didn’t have room. Then as I got smaller, it made it easier to go on walks and things like that. So much of it is about gaining ENERGY. I was tired all the time.
Hey guys! Just found your channel and thank you for supporting those of us who are overweight and looking for good workouts. I have Type II diabetes and my doctor always pushes me to do cardio but I have noticed that my glucose is waaaayyyy lower when I do strength training. Now I have to research. Thank you for the information and tips
Remember this-doctors aren’t nutritionist. they don’t know how to give weight loss advice.. stick to strength training and overall mobility work and you’ll see a huge difference
It’s the lifestyle that you need to incorporate,your living arrangements,work environment,relationship with family,,finances,kids family, gotta learn to tackle one thing at a time
Right its great 😂. This information is incredibly good to hear, snd an interesting change to what I normally hear as well. (I'm not obese but had a friend have a health scare and am planning on helping him if I can)
Love these quick these short lol videos but I feel like they’d be better off on a clips type of channel so it’s easier to navigate your podcast catalog
Solid advice but one of the main problems is people don't want to play the long game. They want it off immediately. It's one of the main things that annoys me when trying to help people with their body. Everyone wants instant results
For me, i was extremely sedentary as a teenager, but as an adult, my job requires me to be on my feet 9-10 hours at a time, and it took some time (and orthotics) to get used to, but at my job i walk 6-7 miles a day, up and down stairs constantly, but my diet is so out of whack that even though i have become a lot healthier than before, my weight hasn't chanced much because of my diet being poor.
Wow, so as a morbidly obese woman that was an athlete in my teen years and then a traumatic event happened. Now I am the weight of 2 of what I want to weigh and it's above the insurance weight chart guidelines but when I start to lose weight I find I have higher anxiety and eventually sabotage myself. I have recently moved to a place where I have to walk my dog and in spite of bone spurs, arthritis, and bulging discs I do it every day. I hurt so bad when I am through and just want to cry. I am not willing to take opiods or addictive pain meds but I feel like I may be too far gone to get back.
I was never obese but a bit overweight at 220lbs 5'11". Lets just say you can recomp your way to stupid gains and live "in easy mode" for a good year and a bit if you just eat at maintenance rest, ensure protein needs are met and you train hars enough. Yeah you dont look good the first months in but i much rather start on the chubby side and see progress faster than having to forcefeed myself.
Hey Guys, Just finished playing college football and I’m 6’2” 315lbs at 22% body fat. Been trying to lose weight for the past 6 months and got nothing. I think I screwed my metabolism up during my college career and need advice on how to get it back to normal in order to get some of the football weight off. Thanks!
Very interesting at the end how they said obese ppl don’t have a lot of muscle mass. This is the opposite of what Ethan Suplee(formerly obese) said on joe rogans podcast.
I am 217 5’8” have muscle on my frame just started strength training for a few months and have noticed a difference in body composition but I do have a high body fat percentage but not so sure how many calories I need a day

Damn I feel like I’m the one that wrote this.. how’s the transformation going 1 year later? I myself, just getting started
I amnin the same place...how are you doing a year out?
Try to get a gastric bypass if you have insurance or work a job til you qualify for you insurance and get the surgery

How it’s going with you
Hope he’s gotten healthier along with you as well 😊

I got obese on purpose to try these training tips...thanks

Your doctor wants you to do cardio for your heart health. The heart is an important muscle to exercise, too.
The main objective for obese people :- change your lifestyle , if you are sedentary.
18 stone at the start of the year, started running but I keep getting injury’s, started the gym and I am now 14st 8. Getting there.
These guys deserve more subscribers
They got em lol
Not obese, but love the message here. These clips always have golden nuggets.
golden nuggets not chicken nuggets
Admitting your obese is the first step. Accept it!
It’s the lifestyle that you need to incorporate,your living arrangements,work environment,relationship with family,,finances,kids family, gotta learn to tackle one thing at a time
Took me over 20 years to figure that out for myself.
I needed to hear this!! Currently going through withdrawals
Dope shirt sal. And high quality info as usual.
Right its great 😂. This information is incredibly good to hear, snd an interesting change to what I normally hear as well. (I'm not obese but had a friend have a health scare and am planning on helping him if I can)

What are the calories requirements for obese to build muscle? Do they need to bulk?
Such great advice , as always!!!

Sympathies! I am in a similar position.
I’ve seen miracles, it’s a slow process but it can be done, I see it all the time
Very good stuff guys

Of course they dont have a lot of muscle. They have a lot of fat. Duh.
@@AllTheArtsy it also depends on the person, some obese people carry more muscle than others of course
Depends if obese and active or obese and lazy. Some are obese due to eating like crap but stay active.
I am 217 5’8” have muscle on my frame just started strength training for a few months and have noticed a difference in body composition but I do have a high body fat percentage but not so sure how many calories I need a day
I’m uploading a video next week with a free macro calculator to help
Creatine if you’re obese ?
Quote the study that says obese people have low muscle mass than "frail" because i see and agree with your point but thats just total garbage.
Carnivore/keto diet for 4 months, reversing type 2DM. Next, you are so condescending and assuming overweight people are lazy.
I hate myself for failing to lose weight so many times. Truly truly hate myself to the point of daydreaming self harm when I work out
