10:02 - "something is better than nothing and keep your workout gear in sight"... I co-sign this message. My pull up bar and gymnastics rings are in the doorway of my bedroom. Most of the time, i bust out 10 reps each time i walk through the bedroom door. I also keep my dumbbells and curl bar in the living room in front of the TV. You want to use them when you see them💪😎
A good way to stay fit while low on time is getting a simple home gym setup. This can take out 20~30m of commute per training session depending if your gym is far away. If you have kids, they prolly get curious and want to train with you too.
Inspiring, feels related. I work in the film industry. We work 5 or 6 days a week, 12-14 hours a day plus conmute, and we rotate shifts every week. Working out and nutrition have become my top priority. I see a lot of people abuse coffee, weed and even meth to sustain such intense work. Me, at my position, I require constant attention, my mental has to be on top. I often get asked a lot by my assistants, colleagues and higher ups just how. How do I sustain it. Nutrition, working out, meditation. Discipline. Even if a sacrifice 1 hour of sleep, I wake up earlier to do some mobility, some basics compound movements, and meditate if I can. I´m doing right now my first ever international job, and even far away from home, I stay on top of my workouts. Just my foldable yoga mat and my mini resistance band. It´s been 10 years in this crazy industry and I´m far from feeling depleted. Stay healthy friends ❤
I started with 20 mins every other day. Fast circuits with approx 30 secs of rest between chest press, lat pull, shoulder press, and pull-ups. 5 sets of 6 reps full range slow eccentric motions. 3 years later I’m up to 45-50 mins a session. Adding creating and ensuring ample protein has helped very much.
Thanks for this information. I'll tell you something. I worked in the resort's kitchen. I have a schedule of 6 am to 10 am for preparing breakfast. After that I have a break from 10 am to 6 pm. arriving at 6 pm preparing for dinner until 10 pm. I can only go home when 10 pm is over. Then work again at 6 am the next day. In short my schedule is "Broken time". From 10 am to 6 pm that's when I do my calisthenics training, my struggle is that I work from 6 pm to 10 pm with muscle soreness from high intensive interval training.
If I hang my gymnastics rings or put the pulling bar in the living room my wife would go nuts 🙂 That's why I use the rings in my 'office' which gets crowded with equipment (parallets, soon - gymnastics ladder). However I had to lower down the workout days to 2 as I simply couldn't rest enough. Monday (training), Tuesday evening (climbing), Wednsday (training), Friday (training). On Wednsday after climbing I felt so weak I decided to reschedule a bit: Sunday (training), Tue (climbing), Thursday (training), Friday (finger hanging for climbing). Now I can manage the load and have proper rest. Also kicked out my ego and am on the Join Preparation training (3rd 2 week) - simply starting from scratch to get proper technique first instead of carring on doing pull ups without touching chest to bar even once.
I never give myself excuses to not exercise. It's one of those things where you either want it or you don't. It's not hard to take 30 minutes of high intensity exercise out of your day, you just have you push yourself and take no for an answer.
My problem is not so much finding time. The work I do during autumn/winter is extremely physical and I already struggle to maintain weight. I don't have the energy or strength left at the end of the day
Dude has a massive amount of free time, it is just somewhat irregular. If your work schedule is like his but you don’t exercise, then you are just making excuses. The real question is what about people who work on the road, 7 days a week 12 hours a day. Without reducing sleep below 6 hours.
If you're talking about trucking/long distance hauling, I've got my best result with keeping a 40lb kettlebell in the cab and doing a variety of KB exercises during fuel and other stops. Days off,I tried to walk as much as I could with a weight vest

Absolutely
Great thanks a lot 🙏
Most welcome 😊

Exercise snacks and greasing the groove works when I'm short on time.
There is no school like old school
Good stuff!
You look so good in a suit!
2:43 Scapula retraction....?
If you want it you find a way. It only takes 10 minutes.
He needs to demand a better more consistent schedule
let me guess, he is Hungarian? :)

Trucking for sure. I was thinking about construction. But you are right about just working out every chance you have down time.
