@@quiv_loli9196 You gotta work yourself into it. Obviously you're not gonna be in the mood for exercise on every given day. On those days, I start with a long warm up. Start easy and slowly build up to higher intensity. For example, if I'm not in the mood for my run, I'll start off doing push-ups. "I'll just do these push-ups and see how I feel after that." Once you start getting blood pumping, it gets progressively easier to keep going. Get warm, get your heart-rate up, and you'll find continuing far less daunting than it seemed before you started. Even after that, some days I'm just really tight or sore. Don't be afraid to give yourself breaks when you need them, and especially don't push yourself harder than you can handle. Injuries suck and can stick with you for life. For me personally, I actually hate the feeling I get when I haven't worked out enough. My body just fills with energy and I start getting very fidgety and annoyed by everything. I also get much less sleep, which makes me less productive overall. If this continues for a week or so, I find my motivation to exercise evaporates, my productivity drops, and I fall into depressive moods. It's a slump that's hard to break out of, and the best way I've found is for someone to kick me up the ass and get me running again. Working out allows me to wind down and relax. Super calming. There is no better feeling than getting into bed and being completely spent.
I used to feel like this but truly feel like I have hit a plateau. Don't get that badass feeling after working out anymore because I always feel like i could've pushed myself harder (even though I am in the best shape of my life). Not sure how to fix this!
I don’t understand this claim that exercise makes you feel amazing afterwards. I’ve literally never once worked out and not felt like shit when I’m done.
@@markbalogh9655 If exercise made me feel good I'd do it. Simple as that, lol. If I got high from working out instead of feeling in pain and misery I'd be doing it all the time.
when i broke my leg, i would literally dream of running and walking around. you dont realize how much you take for granted the ability that you can actually move around until you cant
Omg, I think everyone goes thru that, I broke one of my wrist bones but the doctors missed it, ie it was misdiagnosed as a bad sprain, so a 3 month recovery turned into a year long recovery with surgery, thought I was going to go insane
N ADAV it was in a baseball game, i was catching and a ball got past me so i ran back and picked it up and doce to tag a runner stealing home, i got him put but he ended up sliding right into my glove which popped my wrist in a funny way If u r worries ab hurting ur wrist, and im no professional or expert, try strengthening ur wrists and forearms or making a place for them in ur workouts, yeah it could still happen but strengthening the area can go a long way, and since u cant afford to get injured definitely dont go hardcore
I spent years trying to coax my friends into the workout life. Eventually I gave up. Now we are all nearly 60. I am the only one with no sleep apnea, diabetes, bad back etc..
I don't understand how half of the comments in response to what you said were negative. Give it up you fucking doomers. Stop choking down those blackpills.
When I turned 30, I started running to fight anxiety and build self confidence. Nine years later, a duathlon, 5 marathons, 17 half marathons, 13 - 10Ks, and countless 5Ks, I can attest to putting in the time and energy to feel better. Sweat never hurt anyone.
Do you not feel like this makes your anxiety worse? I run so much now that if I stop for a day I feel so anxious. Just wondering if anyone feels the same
I am 66 and have worked out my entire life. I now live in a seniors building. Trust me, start young and never give up. When you're in your sixties, you be so happy you can't even imagine it now. But imagine feeling better at 65 than you did at 35? Some days you love it and others you'd rather take a beating. But it is the one thing you do in the world for just yourself. Joe, thank you for posting this!
As someone that's lifted weights, played sports, and been pretty active my entire life, I'm almost 40 and I have two knee reconstructions to look forward to, almost certainly a hip, and it's probably 50/50 on the carpal tunnel surgery at this point. Be glad you ended up relatively unscathed. There's plenty of guys like me that have always made it a priority and unfortunately we just got a shit roll of the dice. I can barely kneel down to the floor to pick up my babies. And coming back up? I'm basically internally begging the tendons in my knees to not snap and give me just one more day. Feeling better 25 years than I do now? Maybe if I'm dead. But your advice is still good. It's also important to note Joe is a super wealthy guy with access to shit a lot of us aren't. Including MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS. If only we could all be so lucky.
@@joenobody5913 are you stupid. Performance enhancing drugs STEROIDS will shorten your life. FACTS. Your comment shows what an idiot you are. Please get off the internet and go read books.
@@joenobody5913 It is impossible to evaluate your situation without knowing all the facts. Perhaps you did it too extreme or with bad form. I can relate with you in the fact that I am certainly not feeling better now (49 years old) than 15 years ago. The only way to feel better when you are older is if you were unhealthy in your younger years and then started to work out. All the best with your surgeries.
@@samuelking4723 with you, I got tired of the cheesy poetry, reading too hard in between the lines, being forced to read shit that bored the hell out of me, I find it hard to read a ton of books that don't involve history in them. I generally just don't like reading any books though for that exact reason.
after getting over an addiction, working out was the perfect replacement for that need that my body has to constantly search for endorphins all the time. Truly saved my life. And I love this podcast because it's true, I hardly EVER want to do it. just gotta do it man!
Glad you got things together. I have heard of exercise to overcome addiction before. Think Duff McKaggen did a similar thing according to his autobiography. Change comes from within so your why has to be powerful to get you to make such a big change. So good for you.
@@gm2407 thank you so much yeah a good friend suggested it to me.. I’m not sure where he got it from but it helped me . I’m grateful for your kind words!
When you're out of shape, the first dozen workouts are brutal. No redeeming qualities at all. It's tough to get over that hump and start feeling good about working out
Disagree. It's all brutal. No matter how many times you go, no matter how hard you try to form that habit and get over the hump...it always sucks. I have been trying to get into exercise for years. Swimming, Crossfit, normal big box gym, biking, running, basketball, boxing etc. Nothing has ever stuck. And I don't mean I tried it for a week and gave up, I mean months and months of trying to form a habit and all of it failed. I did Crossfit four times a week for a year. I never felt like I was getting stronger, I never felt like I was gaining ground. It always felt pointless and mind-numbing work. Six months worth of boxing...meh. Two years of big box gym. Half a dozen workout apps...tried it all. I tried different mindsets; I am doing it for health. I am doing it to look good. I am doing it because I am bored so why not. Nothing stuck. I just...don't understand how people get into it. 😟
@@mbogucki1 dunno what to tell you. Maybe you're going too hard, or maybe per Sxmi diet may be a factor. For me it's running I enjoy, particularly when I can get out on the trails. Do some body weight stuff only because I have to, to improve the running. 🏃 Everyone is different. All the best to you
@@mbogucki1 If you can get yourself mentally addicted on the next big weight or distance that usually worked for me I was addicted to improve, as far as not making progress perhaps varying cardio intervals very fast/long distance slowish/quick 1.5 miles average speed etc. I dunno if you've already tried this though..
Yup! I tell others, that the way I feel before or going into a workout has NO bearing on how the workout is going to go. There's no rhyme or reason, every scenario has happened: feel great going but have a terrible workout with no energy, & I've had times that I'm exhausted, queazy, almost don't go & then when you start it's like magic, & you just come to life. & a lot of days you feel bad, have a bad workout, feel good have a good workout, & everything in between. There's no telling, For me anyway.
The gym saved my life. I stopped and got into drugs really bad and couldn’t figure out how to get sober and stay sober and I realized I was missing the gym and go back into it... 6 months of sobriety later I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long long time. Just try it I promise it works if you go into the gym open minded and willing to learn
The amount of people who don’t know that exercise gives endorphins and helps cope w anxiety and depression that’s what gets me through and gives me confidence to know I can handle the shit
How did 103 people actually like Emo Kid's comment? That "comment" is the biggest mess of incoherence I have seen all month. It doesn't even have any meaning! Just as you start to think he's going to say something, he derails the comment with some completely unrelated mumbo jumbo. Are you all high? What the hell is going on?
@@rabbigoldbergsilverstein2899 while i would love to fulfill your bland fantasy, I'm actually rather fit. You can actually have humor and fitness at the same time.
ubiquitous panda well you know what, this joke didn’t get me laughing. Doesn’t mean I don’t laugh a lot. Everyone’s version of humour is different. And I’m just teasing with you. I’m not calling you chubby in an offensive angry way
I started a week ago, the sore muscles are killing me, but it's a feel good kind of pain, and everyone at the gym is nice and helpful, i'm 24 and i keep asking myself, why i didn't do this earlier.
When you feel the soreness that’s the best feeling because that mean changes are coming you are about to have a transition. Soreness means you are working hard , you are moving you are in the right direction.
I knew I was unhealthy for years and destroying my body I ended up with no self confidence and the hardest part was actually getting in the gym and not feeling embarrassed, 3 months in I’ve never felt better about myself and only just beginning you really do feel a lot better when your working out and putting work in! Best thing I ever did
Very true! On the other hand, you can trick yourself, and you can start with 2 push ups or walking (slowly) around the block for 5 minutes, and then you started, and you just keep going. Next time try for 3 push ups or walking slowly for 6 minutes. I know it sounds dumb, but if you have motivational problems like me, it actually works! :)
They say teens need 1 hour of exercise and it is the most boring fucking thing to walk on the tread climber even with headphones like I don’t have that time because of homework and orchestra practice and I will most likely fall asleep after and never get my homework done
No that’s straight bull your associating exercise with something negative when you find an exercise that you enjoy like a sport you can’t wait to do it again
Since I’ve been a child, going on a run was like the most miserable thing ever. Every time I felt like I was dying. So naturally, at 37, I decided to become a runner. And at first I couldn’t even jog without keeping my heart rate outrageously high. I’d have to alternate walking with jogging. Little by little over the last 6 months, my running has improved to the point now where I am running consistently for 5 miles and improving in time running at low heart rates. I now run 4-5 times per week and could not even imagine having to stop running I enjoy it so much. I won’t ever probably run a marathon or run at a low heart rate for 7 minute miles, but thinking about how much progress I’ve made in 6 months is astounding. Planning to run the rest of my life or as long as I physically can. (I also lift heavy twice a week full body.)
You hit it on the head: We don't always (maybe rarely ever) want to do something hard, like working out. We have to use discipline and memory to tell ourselves, "You KNOW this is good for you, and once you start doing it, you'll be so glad you did!"
Has anyone else worked out so much you stopped feeling that desire to be lazy? Like working out has become so routine you no longer have to talk yourself into it?
I've been training since 2006 and yes there are days I don't want to do it. But it gets done. Human beings, life, progress none of it is linear - there's struggle and challenges, always. Sure, it sucks but without that resistance success would never feel so invigorating and empowering.
I dont think I'm at that point but I'm at the point where I feel lazy as hell if I dont, it's like not showering or brushing your teeth for a day. Now i just do it so i feel like I'm a normal functioning person
@@mattsmith9465 well said, this is what I'm talking about and I appreciate your clarification. I've been training for decades, still have days I don't want to do it and it gets done any way bc of my commitment. It's a personal investment - ESPECIALLY yoga, so when I'm old AF I'm not all immobile/feeble AS.
@@jonfernandez8027your absolutely right about yoga I would recommend it to everyone, iv been working out regularly since about 19 and I'm going to be 29 in 3 months there will always be days when you dont want to do it but I look at that as excersise for your mind/will power and I think it is as important for you as lifting weights or going for a run. The way I see it we are body and mind and each of those things requires upkeep and maintenance and like you said in your comment it's about aging well and keeping a good quality of life for as long as possible
When I was in 10th grade I dropped 30 pounds that summer, literally my entire life changed, rooms always clean, school work always done on time and well, and Im just happier.
I had the exact same experience. In addition to the benefits you mentioned, I gained a ton of confidence in social situations. Especially at that early of an age, becoming healthy truly puts your life on a better path
Or after a year of working out, looking back you realize how weak you were lol. Been working out for 7 years now and I can't believe how freaking weak I was lol
Since working out (coming up on a year) I’ve gained so much confidence and have experienced so much less anxiety. I changed my mindset from I want a summer body (which pushed me and motivated me in the beginning) to now, I move because I can and it’s good for my body and mental health. Like for real, it sucks getting started because you’ll probably be out of shape but once you’re in shape and can really see the benefits it’s so worth it.
Seeing your body change as you progress in your workouts is one of the most motivating experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve lost like 20 lbs of fat in 4 months and I’m not even a chubby person.
@@ijanskNo..but it quite literally helps with everything. Not everyone does it for the physical reason either, they just know that exercise can keep you sharp and has tons of benefits.
@@trulymagic3972 Physical exercise doesn't have a direct positive effect on depression per se. People who exercise also commit suicide. A person with depression who works out but doesn't like it that person won't see His/her depression diminished.
@@ijansk No..Physical exercise DOES have a direct positive effect on your brain function. Which includes the balancing of the chemicals in your brain. No shit people who exercise also commit suicide, people who go to therapy also commit suicide, does going to therapy not work? A person with depression who "works out" but doesn't like it can still get the benefits of "working out" You can literally go outside and walk.
My top 5 for keeping it simple 1) 20hr fast daily 2) Brisk 6-8 mile walk early AM Mon-Sat 3) Lift heavy shit 3x per week 4) Run hill sprints 3x per week 5) Use every Sun to catch up on sleep. **This has let me keep visible abs and a decent physique for over 20 years. Just turned 40 and still kill it like I did in high school. 👍
Here's my top 69 for keeping it random: 1) eat when I'm hungry 2) drink when I'm dry 3) slow walk to the corner store to buy some chips and soda 4) never lift anything over 10 pounds 5) sleep whenever possible 6-69) smoke weed
I worked out for 20 years, and like what Joe was pointing out I had to really force myself to do it because I hated it. But my depression got so bad I just couldn't do it anymore. I haven't excercised at all for about 6 years now.
Imagine a world filled with nothing but Joe Rogan's......C'mon bro. You don't lift. Why don't you love yourself? Smoke this bowl and clean your room, bruh. C'mon.
I sometimes agree with Rogan but this whole "Anyone who doesn't look like a professional athlete is lazy and doesn't love themselves" spiel he does from time to time is sooo irritating. Especially when he admits at least a part of it comes from his own vanity. And it also shows that he firmly believes that only one type of body can be attractive.
Too many people are like this except their life is a complete fuck up so you don't know if they are giving you advice off their own beats or leading you down into the piss with them.
I swear, I love joe but I’ve seen a new rise of pseudo intellectual “bro science” retards everywhere now. It kind of seems like they’re replacing the shitty “woke” movement we just went past lol
I'm disabled, have a lot of pain, and before it came to this point, I was an athlete. I love to move, I love to sweat because of being active over just being hot. Whenever I come across someone who is lazy with working limbs or not in much pain, I don't understand how they choose to not work out. Just walk, enjoy your legs, stretch first and after, enjoy it. If you aren't disabled, don't live like you are. Get up and move if you can.
i feel like i’m right there with you. i used to be quite athletic. now i am able to do very little. i plan to start back hiking after Christmas (I asked for some hiking -themed prezzies). i’m hoping like hell that i can suck up the pain, nausea and general weakness so i can be more physically fit. good luck to you!
Humans need to work out because when your 80 and 90 years old, you'll still feel young and able to run. If you dont work out than you'll be in a wheel chair, can't walk or laying in bed for the rest of your life. So work out!
I honestly think that one of the best gifts you can give your child is getting them into the habit of exercising and enjoying it. Inspirational PE teachers also help massively. Will make such an impact of their long term happiness.
So true! My mom always tried to get me and my sister into exercise when we were young because our family has a history of medical issues relating to weight. When I was young I definitely hated it, but now, 15 years later, I’m glad she gave me the proper foundation and I’m so thankful!
PE in schools does the opposite for a lot of people, kids end up getting shamed for not being good at sports and are put off of doing exercise for a long time
@@slipperyfish7560 Depends on the school. Our local (state) school also offers paddle sports, rock climbing, trampolining, running etc as well as the traditional team sports.
What’s your routine bruh? I’ve just been on a caloric deficit and lost weight, but I’m afraid it might not be fat that’s getting shredded from my body.
hate working out, never felt good working out.. the only good thing i felt from doing this is relief because i was done with it for the day. not everyone get the euphoria.. i sure as hell didnt. I get that working out is good fr the body which is why i do it but i hate every second of it which makes it very hard to push through everytime
I agree with this video 100%. That said, I have NEVER felt like I liked any sort of working out. As someone who has lost a cumulative weight of over 150 pounds and gained that much back, I totally agree it is silly not to. I agree that I like looking good, and feeling good... to anyone who has been fat and lean, lean feels much better... we can agree. But I have to admit that this is one of the hardest things in life for some people. There are different wirings, and certain things are more difficult for some people than others. I am not a lazy person, but unless I have a reason to get exercise (like an activity that is strenuous but fun) it does not make me feel better afterwards at all, and it is very very difficult to be consistent. I ran for over a year and after every single run I felt like crap. I am very successful in most things I try or devote to, but exercising is the exception. That all said, I agree that it is silly to CHOOSE not to workout as a rule. It is not silly to fail at the commitment, it is human. Try again though! That's what matters.
I went today to the gym, I was feeling like shit I was a little bit sore from last leg day and had zero motivation but I was so sad to just stay at home I needed to go out. Anyways I started doing the squats couldn’t do more than 3 reps, but slowly slowly I was taking myself with ease and pushing, I finished my 45 reps and every other workout on my program, by the end of workout I forgot to analyse why I’m feeling so proud of myself then I realised “u fuvking did it on a shitty day” best feeling ever.
I live in Rural Canada and gyms are far from where I live. Running feels good to me but running alone is a mind F for me. So I find that team sports, soccer, broomball (like hockey but different) are my jams. I need that competition to really feel the need and desire to push myself. It builds lasting friendships and makes for great stories. Knowing that my team needs me helps to get me out of the door too
The embarrassment I faced when I couldn’t do a pull-up/push up in fitness class pushed me to take my physical health seriously, and I’m glad that’s what it took because I feel so much better
@@wanilimbe I was about say that. Even at my strongest and most fit, I could do a ton of pushups and sit-ups, but hardly any pullups. Pullups are more about body weight than strength.
Definitely dont be embrassed by not being able to do a pull up either. Pull ups are actually very hard for most people who dont regularly do strength exercises
I've been in that place too. When I was thinking about exercising , I thought I couldn't do it because I couldn't do a single pushup. Then, my friend told me and encouraged me to exercise even if it's a single pushup but just keep going every day and challenge your self . I started with literally zero and worked my way up until I reached 40 consecutive push ups in three months of just doing it everyday . After that I started lifting weights and now I can bench 220 and I'm way better than I started
This isn't just a man thing, I'm a woman and I LOVE getting things done. Not one at a time, get it all done. It makes me feel amazing when I do. Also, I adore moving my body. It's just so fabulous knowing that you've worked hard.
It really is just hard to get started but man once you do and you start feeling stronger, healthier, better looking and happier it feels soooo worth it that you feel bad if you take a off day.
I am 17 and i have been obese(tbh probably even fat) my whole life, but now i can gladly say that weightlifting has changed my life forever. As 2019 is coming to an end i have dropped 40lbs throughout the year (and still going), and i really hope to see my abs the next year for the first time of my life. Just as Joe said i found a personal palace in the gym that no one can break into and interrupt my peace. I have learned so much throughout this year about my body, nutrition and training, and hope i will soon succeed in my mission to be in the best shape of my life.
I was jogging 3 miles 5 times a week Sit ups,push ups,calasteniks,and had a perfect diet going last August then something bad happened I was hospitalized with a bowel obstruction I Almost died Now I'm ready to get back in my program and get into shape I wanna thank you for posting these videos they are an excellent resource I weighed 212lbs this morning Down from 452 in 2007
Used to be the most unathletic and skinny kid, never played sports never really was active growing up. 5 years ago my sophomore year i decided to go to the gym, i never missed more than two days since. the shit changed my life in the best way possible
The reason it's so hard for people to exercise is because our technology has removed any survival need to use our bodies outside of manual labour work. Our bodies are designed for living in the wild running, climbing trees and hunting where our bodies were always being used the way they're supposed to and so exercise was just a natural byproduct of our day to day life but when our environment no longer requires much physical exertion it's very difficult for a lot of people to find the motivation to do it
100% so many people don't realize working out was forever a part of daily life in survival/hard labor. With our new lives we need to hit the gym otherwise you can expect problems.
Cory McCracken I mean it was in response to him bringing up old trees being in your yard. It’s not really a flex if it has something to do with the conversation and is actually interesting. He didn’t sound very boastful anyway lmao
Im pretty consistent but i skip the gym here and there. It’s wierd cause i always feel great every time I’m finished so it’s so dumb that I ever want to skip.
100% agree! I worked out for as long as I could remember. I got hit by a car, failed spinal fusion, now I'm all fucked up. My overall health went to shit fast. There's NO EXCUSE to be out of shape, and able bodied. Mentally, they way I'm treated, looked at ALL drastically changed. I worked out with all kinds of injuries, but this surgery basically ended me
I felt it a few times this week. It's always great on the outher end. You feel like shit if you don't go. Worse even. And doing the things when you really don't want to is probably the best time to do it.
It is literally use it or lose it. The reality is the older you get, the more difficult it becomes, but the more necessary it becomes. When you're young, working on flexibility is somewhat uncomfortable, but for older people it's painful to regain lost range of motion. Getting old is humbling to. My old warmup weights are now my workout weights. Oh well.
Just don't give up and on ur good days try to push past a limit. Don't lose sight of beating ur past self just because ur older. There is only EVER going to be one of you.
Kevin Burrow so your experience with working out is in a gym. You can get fit by hiking, running, cycling, swimming, rock climbing and not step foot in testosterone filled weight rooms.
He's right. I'm trying to get myself in a routine of exercise. 9 times out of 10, I can't be bothered to do it... but once you start, you get into it and afterwards, you feel so much better in yourself.
This is how I pat myself in the back, by listening to Joe talk about exercise. I been working out for a year now. Gain a lot of pounds doing it. Im at the best shape of my life. now my friends are like " you look good bro." Thanks Joe and David Goggins for the inspiration.
This time last year I was 238 pounds and now I'm 203 pounds. Doing an hour of cardio four days a week changed my physical and mental health for the better.
I hated running, I kept cramping up and my legs kept telling me to stop. But I ran as much as I could for about a month because I was motivated to improve. I'm currently in my second month of running and I've seen a major improvement in my cardio and my ability to go long distances without a break. The human body is fascinating and its a shame most people aren't willing to explore their limits.
Honestly, running is the worst. I used to run as well and I absolutely hated it, and it honestly put me off exercising for a bit. Just like you, I would feel my chest hurting, my legs cramping, and I just felt in constant pain from it. That is until I discovered weight lifting, which is something that, while still difficult and physically taxing, came to me much more naturally. In terms of mastering the right form and posture and managing weights. I realized that I don't have a runner's body, I have a weight lifter's body. My body isn't lean and agile, its large and stocky. Much more conducive to weight lifting than running. If you're having trouble running, or if anyone else is, I recommend trying other exercises like weight lifting, and vice versa of course.
It's also not just vanity. I don't really care what I look like, but because I run a lot and go to the gym regularly I feel much, much better bounding up and down stairs or running around in the garden with my son. It also helps greatly with activities that you might want to do - being light, flexible and strong means you don't struggle if you want to go surfing, cycling, climbing, etc.
I don't feel like working out 9/10 times and I'm not at all big. However, working out fixed my posture and I feel better because of it. I'm afraid to lose the little progress I've made.
A sedentary lifestyle combined with bad eating habits is deadly. The human body needs movement and exercise to properly function. The worst sitting position is the same one.
@@j0an-07-arc6 I had a coworker who was an overweight chain smoker who had your attitude. Then one day he realized he would probably not live long enough to see his grandkids grow up, stopped smoking and now goes on long and intense bike rides.
Eric van Bezooijen you just can’t compare someone’s experience to another I’m a underweight guy and I’m pretty young working out gives me stress and worsens my anxiety I have enough trouble as it is it makes me feel like shit and I’m not a very motivated guy
I went from call center to delivery driver. Lost 25lbs in a month after gaining 40lbs work from home. It was so hard to get motivated to go exercise that I managed to get ahold of a htc vive and gambled on wether my laptop could handle it (it was able to play boneworks). Thankfully it could and I was addicted to beat saber but even so, it was hard to motivate myself to do it after a while. Getting a more active job has been the best thing ever.
Will Smith said you have to tell the little man/voice in your head to shut up! That voice in your head will talk you out of some of the best things in life for you because it's too hard!
The human brain is originally hardwired to keep you out of danger and and take the easy/familiar way. Got to take control of your mind , not the opposite.
When I workout, it feels amazing. Yeah you feel sore, you might throw up and heaving for air. But your feel great pushing through and you feel like a badass. Before working out, I spent too much time eating and feeling depressed. But I got into surfskating then surfing, and then working out to assist in my surfing and I never want to go back to the life of depression.
As someone who only recently started exercising regularly, what stopped me was how huge and insurmountable the concept of working out was to me. Once I realized I was supposed to prioritize form and consistency and simply doing what I can. Putting my ego aside and lifting light. Gradually increasing weights as time goes on. Never thought I'd be in a position where I *enjoy* working out.
Working out is not just lifting weights. You can jog, run, and play sports- working out is just anything that increases your heart rate because of the physical activity that one performs. Or do I have it all wrong? When it comes to those types of workouts, form doesnt really matter because everyone performs differently.
@@jemand8462 That's not what is meant by this quote buddy. Sure, you have to keep working very hard. Getting that mentality is hard, but keeping it is a little bit easier. The idea is that if you push for something every day, then it will be easier to stay determined.
Been laid off for a year now due to the collapse of the aviation industry (Covid). I’ve been working out/outdoor biking daily since then and I don’t think I’ve felt this good about my body since I was a child. I’ve always been an extremely productive human being through others methods and after losing work for a year, I’ve been able to channel my energy through physically exhausting myself daily. Point is I feel like there are some people out there that just can’t sleep without exhausting their energy on something productive. Times might be tough but it’s you’re attitude that will dictate what you make of a difficult situation.
Last year I truly started to run and workout. I always hit my 10,000 steps a day but never felt great about my body. A year later I’m beyond confident and feel great within myself.
I'm only watching this after so many recommendations because, finally I have been doing running and hiit excersises for last 22 days and honestly it does feel great afterwards .
Lifting weights changed my life. I dropped 25 pounds. Right on my big toe. Shits broken now I can hardly walk.

I’m screaming😂😂😂
Broke my low back doing deadlifts (with perfect fucking form). Now I Cant do simple shit normal people do since 4 years ago...

Exercise is the best anti-depressant we have available
Correct
@Dood! Simple: they're the worst
and the most underutilized
I think meditation is pretty good
Thats bullshit or atleast for me, I never felt better when I exercised or less bad, actually its worse because then after I feel tired too
Me before workouts: "I really don't feel like doing this."
Me after workouts: "I am probably the most badass person on this planet."
@@quiv_loli9196 You gotta work yourself into it. Obviously you're not gonna be in the mood for exercise on every given day.
On those days, I start with a long warm up. Start easy and slowly build up to higher intensity.
For example, if I'm not in the mood for my run, I'll start off doing push-ups.
"I'll just do these push-ups and see how I feel after that."
Once you start getting blood pumping, it gets progressively easier to keep going. Get warm, get your heart-rate up, and you'll find continuing far less daunting than it seemed before you started.
Even after that, some days I'm just really tight or sore. Don't be afraid to give yourself breaks when you need them, and especially don't push yourself harder than you can handle. Injuries suck and can stick with you for life.
For me personally, I actually hate the feeling I get when I haven't worked out enough. My body just fills with energy and I start getting very fidgety and annoyed by everything. I also get much less sleep, which makes me less productive overall.
If this continues for a week or so, I find my motivation to exercise evaporates, my productivity drops, and I fall into depressive moods. It's a slump that's hard to break out of, and the best way I've found is for someone to kick me up the ass and get me running again.
Working out allows me to wind down and relax. Super calming. There is no better feeling than getting into bed and being completely spent.
i feel like a superhero
I used to feel like this but truly feel like I have hit a plateau. Don't get that badass feeling after working out anymore because I always feel like i could've pushed myself harder (even though I am in the best shape of my life). Not sure how to fix this!

Such a helpful comment.
After Workout = Euphoria
Best thing in the world.
Especially when you max out or get a pb during weightlifting
I don’t understand this claim that exercise makes you feel amazing afterwards. I’ve literally never once worked out and not felt like shit when I’m done.
I always get high from exercise
@@markbalogh9655 If exercise made me feel good I'd do it. Simple as that, lol. If I got high from working out instead of feeling in pain and misery I'd be doing it all the time.
Nah man. I can workout hard af but it doesn't make me feel better. The "euphoria" goes away after a while.
when i broke my leg, i would literally dream of running and walking around. you dont realize how much you take for granted the ability that you can actually move around until you cant
Been through that twice and I know exactly what you mean. I would have that same dream.
Omg, I think everyone goes thru that, I broke one of my wrist bones but the doctors missed it, ie it was misdiagnosed as a bad sprain, so a 3 month recovery turned into a year long recovery with surgery, thought I was going to go insane
N ADAV it was in a baseball game, i was catching and a ball got past me so i ran back and picked it up and doce to tag a runner stealing home, i got him put but he ended up sliding right into my glove which popped my wrist in a funny way
If u r worries ab hurting ur wrist, and im no professional or expert, try strengthening ur wrists and forearms or making a place for them in ur workouts, yeah it could still happen but strengthening the area can go a long way, and since u cant afford to get injured definitely dont go hardcore
on my second acl tear about to have surgery and i literally cant wait dude i wanna fucking frolic in the medows boiiiiiiiii lmao
Same here but now i´m recovered and still hate running
I spent years trying to coax my friends into the workout life. Eventually I gave up. Now we are all nearly 60. I am the only one with no sleep apnea, diabetes, bad back etc..
Im rooting for u, hopefully another 100 years!
Your anecdotal experience makes this a fact, right?
I don't understand how half of the comments in response to what you said were negative. Give it up you fucking doomers. Stop choking down those blackpills.
You got this man,
keep at it to live a long healthy life
GankMan nope but it can make you think. İts a anectodal experience but if you move your butt its helpful for your health.
When I turned 30, I started running to fight anxiety and build self confidence. Nine years later, a duathlon, 5 marathons, 17 half marathons, 13 - 10Ks, and countless 5Ks, I can attest to putting in the time and energy to feel better. Sweat never hurt anyone.
huge congrats
Wow! Amazing!
Nice, but how many years did you spend running if you add up all these hours? ;)
So inspiring man! Great work!
Do you not feel like this makes your anxiety worse? I run so much now that if I stop for a day I feel so anxious. Just wondering if anyone feels the same
I am 66 and have worked out my entire life. I now live in a seniors building. Trust me, start young and never give up. When you're in your sixties, you be so happy you can't even imagine it now. But imagine feeling better at 65 than you did at 35? Some days you love it and others you'd rather take a beating. But it is the one thing you do in the world for just yourself. Joe, thank you for posting this!
As someone that's lifted weights, played sports, and been pretty active my entire life, I'm almost 40 and I have two knee reconstructions to look forward to, almost certainly a hip, and it's probably 50/50 on the carpal tunnel surgery at this point. Be glad you ended up relatively unscathed. There's plenty of guys like me that have always made it a priority and unfortunately we just got a shit roll of the dice. I can barely kneel down to the floor to pick up my babies. And coming back up? I'm basically internally begging the tendons in my knees to not snap and give me just one more day. Feeling better 25 years than I do now? Maybe if I'm dead.
But your advice is still good. It's also important to note Joe is a super wealthy guy with access to shit a lot of us aren't. Including MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS. If only we could all be so lucky.
@@joenobody5913 are you stupid. Performance enhancing drugs STEROIDS will shorten your life. FACTS. Your comment shows what an idiot you are. Please get off the internet and go read books.
@@joenobody5913 It is impossible to evaluate your situation without knowing all the facts. Perhaps you did it too extreme or with bad form. I can relate with you in the fact that I am certainly not feeling better now (49 years old) than 15 years ago. The only way to feel better when you are older is if you were unhealthy in your younger years and then started to work out. All the best with your surgeries.
Wdym by seniors building? Is that a good thing?
@@jefbozies3707 Presumably it is comparative seeing all the people who did not exercise.

Felix W No, I just don’t enjoy it anymore because it feels like a responsibility now (even when it isn’t).
@@samuelking4723 with you, I got tired of the cheesy poetry, reading too hard in between the lines, being forced to read shit that bored the hell out of me, I find it hard to read a ton of books that don't involve history in them.

Thank you. I truly appreciate your comment.
everyone wants to be successful at something but not everyone is willing to put in the work
No. The moment you speak for everyone you are always wrong. Many people enjoy just having a good time when they can. Life is short.
after getting over an addiction, working out was the perfect replacement for that need that my body has to constantly search for endorphins all the time. Truly saved my life. And I love this podcast because it's true, I hardly EVER want to do it. just gotta do it man!
Respect. That is great.
@@mrsean1999 thanks!
Glad you got things together. I have heard of exercise to overcome addiction before. Think Duff McKaggen did a similar thing according to his autobiography. Change comes from within so your why has to be powerful to get you to make such a big change. So good for you.

congrats man!
When you're out of shape, the first dozen workouts are brutal. No redeeming qualities at all. It's tough to get over that hump and start feeling good about working out
Or it feels so good that you overdo it and burn out. It's best to learn limits and balance at the beginning as well
Disagree. It's all brutal. No matter how many times you go, no matter how hard you try to form that habit and get over the hump...it always sucks.
I have been trying to get into exercise for years. Swimming, Crossfit, normal big box gym, biking, running, basketball, boxing etc. Nothing has ever stuck. And I don't mean I tried it for a week and gave up, I mean months and months of trying to form a habit and all of it failed. I did Crossfit four times a week for a year. I never felt like I was getting stronger, I never felt like I was gaining ground. It always felt pointless and mind-numbing work. Six months worth of boxing...meh. Two years of big box gym. Half a dozen workout apps...tried it all.
I tried different mindsets; I am doing it for health. I am doing it to look good. I am doing it because I am bored so why not. Nothing stuck.
I just...don't understand how people get into it. 😟
mbogucki1 you aint eating right
@@mbogucki1 dunno what to tell you. Maybe you're going too hard, or maybe per Sxmi diet may be a factor.
For me it's running I enjoy, particularly when I can get out on the trails. Do some body weight stuff only because I have to, to improve the running. 🏃
Everyone is different. All the best to you
@@mbogucki1 If you can get yourself mentally addicted on the next big weight or distance that usually worked for me I was addicted to improve, as far as not making progress perhaps varying cardio intervals very fast/long distance slowish/quick 1.5 miles average speed etc. I dunno if you've already tried this though..
honestly some of my best workouts come when i feel super lazy and then force myself to workout
ME!!!!!!
When I use to work out. The hardest part about working out was getting yourself to the gym. But now I am just silly. I dont work out.
Dude hell yes!! I can’t count how many times I think” damnit I don’t wanna do it” n get it kill it n I feel great!! Totally agree
Yup! I tell others, that the way I feel before or going into a workout has NO bearing on how the workout is going to go. There's no rhyme or reason, every scenario has happened: feel great going but have a terrible workout with no energy, & I've had times that I'm exhausted, queazy, almost don't go & then when you start it's like magic, & you just come to life. & a lot of days you feel bad, have a bad workout, feel good have a good workout, & everything in between. There's no telling, For me anyway.
chris smith same me either bro
The gym saved my life. I stopped and got into drugs really bad and couldn’t figure out how to get sober and stay sober and I realized I was missing the gym and go back into it... 6 months of sobriety later I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long long time. Just try it I promise it works if you go into the gym open minded and willing to learn
Congrats man
Happy for you man
Sometimes I work out simply to get through the day :/
thats smart
That resonates with me.. sometimes there's no other responsible solution for boredom

That's awesome! LET'S GOOOOOO!!!
You doing it now! Thats what matters
When you feel the soreness that’s the best feeling because that mean changes are coming you are about to have a transition. Soreness means you are working hard , you are moving you are in the right direction.
I know dude. Wtf were we thinking, "not working out?!" I gotta do it now. I feel like a lazy fuck if i dont.
I knew I was unhealthy for years and destroying my body I ended up with no self confidence and the hardest part was actually getting in the gym and not feeling embarrassed, 3 months in I’ve never felt better about myself and only just beginning you really do feel a lot better when your working out and putting work in!

Sometimes the hardest thing is simply starting.
Very true, for working out and many other things in life as well.
Very true! On the other hand, you can trick yourself, and you can start with 2 push ups or walking (slowly) around the block for 5 minutes, and then you started, and you just keep going. Next time try for 3 push ups or walking slowly for 6 minutes. I know it sounds dumb, but if you have motivational problems like me, it actually works! :)
They say teens need 1 hour of exercise and it is the most boring fucking thing to walk on the tread climber even with headphones like I don’t have that time because of homework and orchestra practice and I will most likely fall asleep after and never get my homework done
Nah starting it easy. It's the discipline that's hard.
No that’s straight bull your associating exercise with something negative when you find an exercise that you enjoy like a sport you can’t wait to do it again
Since I’ve been a child, going on a run was like the most miserable thing ever. Every time I felt like I was dying. So naturally, at 37, I decided to become a runner. And at first I couldn’t even jog without keeping my heart rate outrageously high. I’d have to alternate walking with jogging. Little by little over the last 6 months, my running has improved to the point now where I am running consistently for 5 miles and improving in time running at low heart rates. I now run 4-5 times per week and could not even imagine having to stop running I enjoy it so much. I won’t ever probably run a marathon or run at a low heart rate for 7 minute miles, but thinking about how much progress I’ve made in 6 months is astounding. Planning to run the rest of my life or as long as I physically can. (I also lift heavy twice a week full body.)
You hit it on the head: We don't always (maybe rarely ever) want to do something hard, like working out. We have to use discipline and memory to tell ourselves, "You KNOW this is good for you, and once you start doing it, you'll be so glad you did!"
Has anyone else worked out so much you stopped feeling that desire to be lazy? Like working out has become so routine you no longer have to talk yourself into it?
I've been working out on and off this last one year but still need to convince myself to go finish that workout. I hope I can get there one day.
I've been training since 2006 and yes there are days I don't want to do it. But it gets done.
Human beings, life, progress none of it is linear - there's struggle and challenges, always.
Sure, it sucks but without that resistance success would never feel so invigorating and empowering.
I dont think I'm at that point but I'm at the point where I feel lazy as hell if I dont, it's like not showering or brushing your teeth for a day. Now i just do it so i feel like I'm a normal functioning person
@@mattsmith9465 well said, this is what I'm talking about and I appreciate your clarification.
I've been training for decades, still have days I don't want to do it and it gets done any way bc of my commitment. It's a personal investment - ESPECIALLY yoga, so when I'm old AF I'm not all immobile/feeble AS.
@@jonfernandez8027your absolutely right about yoga I would recommend it to everyone, iv been working out regularly since about 19 and I'm going to be 29 in 3 months there will always be days when you dont want to do it but I look at that as excersise for your mind/will power and I think it is as important for you as lifting weights or going for a run. The way I see it we are body and mind and each of those things requires upkeep and maintenance and like you said in your comment it's about aging well and keeping a good quality of life for as long as possible

You never regret a workout!
Do one after a really long party night with 2 hours sleep. You will regret that workout.
Unless you get injured
When I was in 10th grade I dropped 30 pounds that summer, literally my entire life changed, rooms always clean, school work always done on time and well, and Im just happier.
How can you explain your workouts and diet please
S123. 56 you have to figure it out what works for you, because getting in shape isn’t a textbook thing since nobody is quite like you
Damn, wish i did that
I had the exact same experience. In addition to the benefits you mentioned, I gained a ton of confidence in social situations. Especially at that early of an age, becoming healthy truly puts your life on a better path
Rooms clean?!
Jordan B Peterson approved
It’s only when you start your first day of working out, that you realize how weak you actually are.
Tell me about it LOL, I was shaking.
When I started a I gassed out after one set of 15 pushups and I just laid on the floor huffing and puffing for 5 minutes
No shit I remember not being able to do 5 push ups now I do them like taking a shi
Or after a year of working out, looking back you realize how weak you were lol. Been working out for 7 years now and I can't believe how freaking weak I was lol
How did you stay motivated
Since working out (coming up on a year) I’ve gained so much confidence and have experienced so much less anxiety. I changed my mindset from I want a summer body (which pushed me and motivated me in the beginning) to now, I move because I can and it’s good for my body and mental health. Like for real, it sucks getting started because you’ll probably be out of shape but once you’re in shape and can really see the benefits it’s so worth it.
Seeing your body change as you progress in your workouts is one of the most motivating experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve lost like 20 lbs of fat in 4 months and I’m not even a chubby person.

I sometimes agree with Rogan but this whole "Anyone who doesn't look like a professional athlete is lazy and doesn't love themselves" spiel he does from time to time is sooo irritating. Especially when he admits at least a part of it comes from his own vanity. And it also shows that he firmly believes that only one type of body can be attractive.

I'm disabled, have a lot of pain, and before it came to this point, I was an athlete. I love to move, I love to sweat because of being active over just being hot. Whenever I come across someone who is lazy with working limbs or not in much pain, I don't understand how they choose to not work out. Just walk, enjoy your legs, stretch first and after, enjoy it. If you aren't disabled, don't live like you are. Get up and move if you can.

Humans need to work out because when your 80 and 90 years old, you'll still feel young and able to run.
If you dont work out than you'll be in a wheel chair, can't walk or laying in bed for the rest of your life.

I honestly think that one of the best gifts you can give your child is getting them into the habit of exercising and enjoying it. Inspirational PE teachers also help massively. Will make such an impact of their long term happiness.
So true! My mom always tried to get me and my sister into exercise when we were young because our family has a history of medical issues relating to weight. When I was young I definitely hated it, but now, 15 years later, I’m glad she gave me the proper foundation and I’m so thankful!

I agree with this video 100%. That said, I have NEVER felt like I liked any sort of working out. As someone who has lost a cumulative weight of over 150 pounds and gained that much back, I totally agree it is silly not to. I agree that I like looking good, and feeling good... to anyone who has been fat and lean, lean feels much better... we can agree.
But I have to admit that this is one of the hardest things in life for some people. There are different wirings, and certain things are more difficult for some people than others. I am not a lazy person, but unless I have a reason to get exercise (like an activity that is strenuous but fun) it does not make me feel better afterwards at all, and it is very very difficult to be consistent. I ran for over a year and after every single run I felt like crap. I am very successful in most things I try or devote to, but exercising is the exception.
That all said, I agree that it is silly to CHOOSE not to workout as a rule. It is not silly to fail at the commitment, it is human. Try again though! That's what matters.
I went today to the gym, I was feeling like shit I was a little bit sore from last leg day and had zero motivation but I was so sad to just stay at home I needed to go out. Anyways I started doing the squats couldn’t do more than 3 reps, but slowly slowly I was taking myself with ease and pushing, I finished my 45 reps and every other workout on my program, by the end of workout I forgot to analyse why I’m feeling so proud of myself then I realised “u fuvking did it on a shitty day” best feeling ever.

Started working out 4 months ago, its one of the only things in these times that really make me happy.
I live in Rural Canada and gyms are far from where I live. Running feels good to me but running alone is a mind F for me. So I find that team sports, soccer, broomball (like hockey but different) are my jams. I need that competition to really feel the need and desire to push myself. It builds lasting friendships and makes for great stories.
Knowing that my team needs me helps to get me out of the door too
Is DMT a Good pre workout?
Bet yer ass!
Probably the best in the dimension
A million machine elves can’t be wrong
Absolutely!
nitraflex is also a good one
The embarrassment I faced when I couldn’t do a pull-up/push up in fitness class pushed me to take my physical health seriously, and I’m glad that’s what it took because I feel so much better
i worked out and still couldn’t do a pullup in the 4th grade or 7 pushups but i bragged about not doing cheat reps lol
Nobody should be embarrassed by trying to get fit and unless you’re an asshole you shouldn’t laugh at anyone that’s trying and very few people do.
@@wanilimbe I was about say that. Even at my strongest and most fit, I could do a ton of pushups and sit-ups, but hardly any pullups. Pullups are more about body weight than strength.
Definitely dont be embrassed by not being able to do a pull up either. Pull ups are actually very hard for most people who dont regularly do strength exercises
I've been in that place too. When I was thinking about exercising , I thought I couldn't do it because I couldn't do a single pushup. Then, my friend told me and encouraged me to exercise even if it's a single pushup but just keep going every day and challenge your self . I started with literally zero and worked my way up until I reached 40 consecutive push ups in three months of just doing it everyday . After that I started lifting weights and now I can bench 220 and I'm way better than I started
This isn't just a man thing, I'm a woman and I LOVE getting things done. Not one at a time, get it all done. It makes me feel amazing when I do. Also, I adore moving my body. It's just so fabulous knowing that you've worked hard.
It really is just hard to get started but man once you do and you start feeling stronger, healthier, better looking and happier it feels soooo worth it that you feel bad if you take a off day.
I am 17 and i have been obese(tbh probably even fat) my whole life, but now i can gladly say that weightlifting has changed my life forever. As 2019 is coming to an end i have dropped 40lbs throughout the year (and still going), and i really hope to see my abs the next year for the first time of my life. Just as Joe said i found a personal palace in the gym that no one can break into and interrupt my peace. I have learned so much throughout this year about my body, nutrition and training, and hope i will soon succeed in my mission to be in the best shape of my life.
That's awesome, man! It takes commitment and grit to do that!
Obese=fat........

Used to be the most unathletic and skinny kid, never played sports never really was active growing up. 5 years ago my sophomore year i decided to go to the gym, i never missed more than two days since. the shit changed my life in the best way possible
The reason it's so hard for people to exercise is because our technology has removed any survival need to use our bodies outside of manual labour work. Our bodies are designed for living in the wild running, climbing trees and hunting where our bodies were always being used the way they're supposed to and so exercise was just a natural byproduct of our day to day life but when our environment no longer requires much physical exertion it's very difficult for a lot of people to find the motivation to do it
100% so many people don't realize working out was forever a part of daily life in survival/hard labor. With our new lives we need to hit the gym otherwise you can expect problems.
just exercise,its not that fucking hard,ur just a lazy ass spoiled kid,just exercise 20 mins a day and u feel good

Im pretty consistent but i skip the gym here and there. It’s wierd cause i always feel great every time I’m finished so it’s so dumb that I ever want to skip.
100% agree! I worked out for as long as I could remember. I got hit by a car, failed spinal fusion, now I'm all fucked up. My overall health went to shit fast. There's NO EXCUSE to be out of shape, and able bodied. Mentally, they way I'm treated, looked at ALL drastically changed. I worked out with all kinds of injuries, but this surgery basically ended me
I felt it a few times this week. It's always great on the outher end. You feel like shit if you don't go. Worse even. And doing the things when you really don't want to is probably the best time to do it.
It is literally use it or lose it. The reality is the older you get, the more difficult it becomes, but the more necessary it becomes. When you're young, working on flexibility is somewhat uncomfortable, but for older people it's painful to regain lost range of motion. Getting old is humbling to. My old warmup weights are now my workout weights. Oh well.
Just don't give up and on ur good days try to push past a limit. Don't lose sight of beating ur past self just because ur older. There is only EVER going to be one of you.
Whats crazy are the ppl who take pride in not working out....thats insane
“I don’t even need to work out” that’s shit kills me 🙄😂
I alway challenge those people to a race or wrestling match. Once they refuse, tell them " you're the guy the bear will catch and kill" lol 😂
This herd mentality causes ppl to assume that exercise is good. Just like the idea that stop signs save lives.
Kevin Burrow so what if you’re an adult that doesn’t play a team sport or work a physically demanding job? 🤔
Kevin Burrow so your experience with working out is in a gym. You can get fit by hiking, running, cycling, swimming, rock climbing and not step foot in testosterone filled weight rooms.
He's right. I'm trying to get myself in a routine of exercise. 9 times out of 10, I can't be bothered to do it... but once you start, you get into it and afterwards, you feel so much better in yourself.
This is how I pat myself in the back, by listening to Joe talk about exercise. I been working out for a year now. Gain a lot of pounds doing it. Im at the best shape of my life. now my friends are like " you look good bro." Thanks Joe and David Goggins for the inspiration.
This time last year I was 238 pounds and now I'm 203 pounds. Doing an hour of cardio four days a week changed my physical and mental health for the better.
Nice one dude 👍
Do any other exercise (i.e. Push-ups)
@@J05H0987 I just started doing some stuff with a 15 pound kettle bell. Its not that heavy but I'm starting out.

no one gives a fck, seriously.
I hated running, I kept cramping up and my legs kept telling me to stop. But I ran as much as I could for about a month because I was motivated to improve. I'm currently in my second month of running and I've seen a major improvement in my cardio and my ability to go long distances without a break. The human body is fascinating and its a shame most people aren't willing to explore their limits.
Good job bro
@@mosqa7802 i lied
Honestly, running is the worst. I used to run as well and I absolutely hated it, and it honestly put me off exercising for a bit. Just like you, I would feel my chest hurting, my legs cramping, and I just felt in constant pain from it.
That is until I discovered weight lifting, which is something that, while still difficult and physically taxing, came to me much more naturally. In terms of mastering the right form and posture and managing weights.
I realized that I don't have a runner's body, I have a weight lifter's body. My body isn't lean and agile, its large and stocky. Much more conducive to weight lifting than running.
If you're having trouble running, or if anyone else is, I recommend trying other exercises like weight lifting, and vice versa of course.
@@Killzoneguy117 Two words: team sports; team sports are so interesting and make you not hate the fact that you're running or sprinting.
you should train for a marathon.
It's also not just vanity. I don't really care what I look like, but because I run a lot and go to the gym regularly I feel much, much better bounding up and down stairs or running around in the garden with my son. It also helps greatly with activities that you might want to do - being light, flexible and strong means you don't struggle if you want to go surfing, cycling, climbing, etc.
I don't feel like working out 9/10 times and I'm not at all big.
However, working out fixed my posture and I feel better because of it.
I'm afraid to lose the little progress I've made.
A sedentary lifestyle combined with bad eating habits is deadly. The human body needs movement and exercise to properly function. The worst sitting position is the same one.

this the type of motivation i need to pick up a book.
I went from call center to delivery driver. Lost 25lbs in a month after gaining 40lbs work from home.
It was so hard to get motivated to go exercise that I managed to get ahold of a htc vive and gambled on wether my laptop could handle it (it was able to play boneworks). Thankfully it could and I was addicted to beat saber but even so, it was hard to motivate myself to do it after a while. Getting a more active job has been the best thing ever.

When I workout, it feels amazing. Yeah you feel sore, you might throw up and heaving for air. But your feel great pushing through and you feel like a badass. Before working out, I spent too much time eating and feeling depressed. But I got into surfskating then surfing, and then working out to assist in my surfing and I never want to go back to the life of depression.
Just signed up for a 50k ultramarathon in July. Can't wait to push my body to its max 💪🦵
As someone who only recently started exercising regularly, what stopped me was how huge and insurmountable the concept of working out was to me.
Once I realized I was supposed to prioritize form and consistency and simply doing what I can. Putting my ego aside and lifting light. Gradually increasing weights as time goes on.
Never thought I'd be in a position where I *enjoy* working out.
Working out is not just lifting weights. You can jog, run, and play sports- working out is just anything that increases your heart rate because of the physical activity that one performs. Or do I have it all wrong? When it comes to those types of workouts, form doesnt really matter because everyone performs differently.
@@massojupiter3436 form does matter though brother, especially with deadlifts
@@massojupiter3436 definitely. For me I wanted/needed to lift. I hate running (I row instead) and playing sports isn't an option for me atm.

Thank you for saying this. Technique and form always go first. Intensity is more important than reps. "Walking 3 laps is not the same as running 1."

Been laid off for a year now due to the collapse of the aviation industry (Covid). I’ve been working out/outdoor biking daily since then and I don’t think I’ve felt this good about my body since I was a child.
I’ve always been an extremely productive human being through others methods and after losing work for a year, I’ve been able to channel my energy through physically exhausting myself daily. Point is I feel like there are some people out there that just can’t sleep without exhausting their energy on something productive.
