I started CrossFit at 40. I’ll be 50 this November and have ZERO health issues. I contribute that to being fit for the last decade. My Doctor told me to go as hard as I can for as many years as I can.
Heck yeah! Now that is the best prescription! I’m in my last year of med school and I want all my future patients is to be able to do a burpee as long as possible. And as someone who loves doing osteopathic medicine, I love crossfitters haha I want to help people get after it as long as possible
I’ve been working out regularly since I was 15. In my mid-40s now. Don’t be scared. I’m still overall in as good as shape as I was 10 years ago and have kept my lean athletic and muscular body. The only real difference is loss in my 5K/10K run time and explosive movements (like vertical leap and sprints), but this is totally natural and expected (it’s why there are no 45 year old NBA ball players or Olympic track athletes). Best advice I can give is stay consistent, listen to your body, and dispense with “big weight” (ego lifting) that tends to risk injury. Good luck!
You sound just like me I’ve had this fear all my life I’m 52 and I’ve been working out since I was about 16 or so. I’ve been able to maintain my fitness somehow through these years so you still have some time.
I'm a 48 year old guy and only started working out and running about 6 years ago and I look and feel better than when I was 30! You are very motivational to us all my friend thank you for these videos
I have a home gym and I park my Tahoe in there. I use a tarp over my mats. Keeps them clean when the vehicle is parked in the gym. Love the videos. Keep them coming
Thank you for this video! I am 37 years old and my first son was born three weeks ago. I am working out since ten years (eight years of CrossFit). Being fit for my child, as long as I possibly can, became my second big „why“ now. The first why is myself, as I want to spend as much quality time on this planet as possible. I feel you my man! 💪🏻
This video is what i needed. I am 42 years old, a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu been training for 14 plus years with a ton of mileage in the body 😢. Your videos not only provide me the tools/workouts to strengthen my body so i can prolong my training in the mats but the mindset to keep me motivated and inspired. Thank you very much!
Awesome Work out !!! Big fan for 10 years. 53 years age. Still getting after it !!! Can you do a video on blood restriction training. Very interested!! Your videos are great Also can you help with V02 max ?? Thank you sir.
Appreciate the continuous stretching and keeping up with the flexibility. Lifting into an older age is good for many who can. Though the key in doing so is the flexibility. Everything is going to decrease as we age, it is inevitable. One of the reasons we can, in part, out perform the younger folks, in different areas is, we train much smarter. This has only one factor, we get wiser because we have been down the road they have yet to travel. Josh has already put this video out, training as we age,
“I’m going to ride this bus until the wheels fall off” was exactly what I needed to hear on this Monday morning! Dealing with severe arthritis in my right hip which will hopefully be replaced this summer/fall. My wheel is falling off! Looking forward to kicking ass with a new wheel ASAP! You’re an inspiration Josh!👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Yea couldn't agree more! Get annoyed when people speak about older age! I'm 48 still lift with absolutely no injuries and work with 30 year Olds I could run circles around. Lol
Sick video bro!! I’m 28. I mix CrossFit lifts. And some exercises solo watching your videos and technique or watching fronings and Fraser’s videos or Olsen. My question was where can I get those white shoes from brother?
JB, you ever had your knee dislocate/ blow out? It’s kind of like the knee cap blows out under pressure or after a lot of usage such as a lot of running/ high volume squatting etc.
Josh: Do you think (for the general hypertrophy enthusiast, with longevity in mind) that any and all isolation work should be supersetted, or blended with mini bits of cardio like you have here? Or is there some value to more traditional rest periods?
The other day at work I help a guy to pick up something a little bit heavy from the floor to a work table,and he told me... yeah once you get my age u not going to have energy to go to the gym.! He is 40... I'm 47 lol. I get up at 2 am to go to work I workout right after work for and hour- hour and half, then I get home and do stuff with my kids. So there u go lol. #HereWeGo
I usually don’t agree with much this guy says but I definitely agree on one thing. I wholeheartedly will ride this body until the freakin wheels fall off 🙌🏼🍺💪🏼
I’m about to have twin boys. I love your comment on how your setting the example. I want to make my boys think it’s normal to be jacked and eat steak and eggs. Not sitting on the couch eating chips
I'm 43 been working out for 32 yrs and will not stop till i'm dead. I've done boxing, taekwondo, wrestling etc... and people at work try and make fun of me for keeping up with it all. But they're also afraid to make me mad so i'll take the dumb lazy ass comments for the fear :)
Fuck age , it’s just a number . My next birthdays the big 50, do I look it , nope , do I feel it , nope! Oldest member in my gym but I still get wods done
Age is just a number. Unless you’ve fucked your body up when you were young and stupid its just your max capacity for cardio thats affected and some strength training recovery is slightly slower in your 40s.

i’ve been wanting to start once i finish grad school. is 23 too early ?

I am 37 and worked out my entire life. I am scared of getting older. Thank you so much for showing me that you can go on!

Don't be. Watch your diet and liaten to your body. I am 60 and looking forward to beating an hour on Murph next week.
Find functional reasons to remain fit. It keeps life fun. I still log and cut wood at 63. I'm stronger at 63 than 19.

@@rickmanning8722Stronger, but not less towards injuries. Key is to be safe and push the strength needle consistently.

I'm going to ride this bus until the wheels fall off...love it. I feel the same at 66. Great attitude in all things difficult.
Legend 👍
34yr old here - This is amazing.
One of the biggest take aways I got from this episode was, "Im gonna fucking ride this bus til the wheels fall. Then I keep pushing it!" 💪🏋
"I like to watch TV while listening to the radio, because I like to party" Ricky Bobby 😂
you should paint the garage! what sauna do you have?
I am working in a BOX like Coach.
I have 41 years old and your programming, i think its wonderfull.
Thank you Josh, you are my virtual Coach
Sick video bro!! I’m 28. I mix CrossFit lifts. And some exercises solo watching your videos and technique or watching fronings and Fraser’s videos or Olsen. My question was where can I get those white shoes from brother?
Just finished that workout w/ echo bike 15 cal, 4.5 sets. That ish is a grip burner even at 37 😂
Thanks for the share bro. #PaidHim
I’m 62 now still going at it

Josh what kind of truck do you have?
I usually don’t agree with much this guy says but I definitely agree on one thing. I wholeheartedly will ride this body until the freakin wheels fall off 🙌🏼🍺💪🏼
You don’t agree with much I say but you keep watching and commenting. sounds smart.
I’m 48 and still doing squats bench and deadlifts
what shoes are these
Dang dude, we’re gonna need to see that square body Chevy you have hiding outside.
I’m about to have twin boys. I love your comment on how your setting the example. I want to make my boys think it’s normal to be jacked and eat steak and eggs. Not sitting on the couch eating chips
I was fine at 40 , shit got real when I hit 46!!
Talladega Nights: Name that quote
Deadlifts/burpee box jump overs/toes to bar would be deadly.
I'm 43 been working out for 32 yrs and will not stop till i'm dead. I've done boxing, taekwondo, wrestling etc... and people at work try and make fun of me for keeping up with it all. But they're also afraid to make me mad so i'll take the dumb lazy ass comments for the fear :)
Fuck age , it’s just a number . My next birthdays the big 50, do I look it , nope , do I feel it , nope!
Oldest member in my gym but I still get wods done
Age is just a number. Unless you’ve fucked your body up when you were young and stupid its just your max capacity for cardio thats affected and some strength training recovery is slightly slower in your 40s.
“Just get a little extra in….because why the f*ck not!” 😂😂😂
