Do This Every Day To Get Lean (SCIENCE BASED)

  • If you want to get lean, it is definitely possbile if you can commit just a few minutes every day to make sure it happens. And that is what is important, it isn’t going to take all day, just a little bit of time each day to make sure you are taking care of the calories out part of the calorie equation.
    And when it comes to getting ripped or just having lower body fat levels it always comes down to what I call the three C’s. What you consume or the food you put in your body, your conditioning and your consistency.
    I have a dedicated video on exactly how to eat to get lean that I’m going to link for you at the end of this video.
    In the meantime, I want to lay out a cardio workout plan for you that is going to be foolproof and tell you exactly what to do each day to get lean.
    It starts with understanding your max heart rate. This is a simple percentage that can easily be calculated by subtracting your age from 220. This will give you your maximum heart rate in beats per minute. Now it’s important to know this number since all of the cardio zones that you will be training in are determined by this number.
    In the example given in the video, a 40 year old man or woman would have a maximum heart rate of 180.
    Now, the different cardio zones, many of which you have likely heard through the recent works of Dr. Peter Attia (like Zone 2 cardio and Zone 5 cardio) are based off of this number as I said. Your zones break down as follows:
    Zone 2 Cardio - 60-70 percent of max hr
    Zone 3 Cardio - 70-80 percent of max hr
    Zone 4 Cardio - 80-90 percent of max hr
    Zone 5 Cardio - 90-95 percent of max hr
    Each of these zones applies a different stimulus to your body and will have a different training effect. Now before you think that cardio workouts are only for those people that want to lose fat or lose weight, that is not true. Recent research has shown that the greatest way to decrease all cause mortality is through the adoption of a frequent cardiovascular training plan.
    The plans and workout that I’m laying out for you here will be a great place to start doing that.
    Now each week, the goal should be to perform 4 zone 2 workouts, 2 zone 5 workouts and one zone 3.5 as I like to call it.
    This last workout is actually a bodyweight workout that has an aerobic benefit by virtue of the fact that you will be performing a series of anaerobic exercises without rest. These are great for helping to stress the muscles with overload that can help to build muscle at best and stave off muscle loss at the very least.
    Be sure to follow the sequence of these workouts throughout your every day plan even if you decide that you may want to shift the days a bit during your week to better accomodate your schedule.
    The different types of zone 2 and zone 5 workouts are described here. In general, you have a great amount of choices as to what you want to do as long as you do it at the right intensity level. A proper zone 2 cardio workout will have you breathing hard but still able to converse if needed. These are typically done for the longest amount of time - you are just starting out with 15 minutes in the first month.
    The Zone 5 workouts are at a much higher intensity level. Again this is at 90 percent of your maximum heart rate. You will see that you are out of breath and really working hard, but you won’t have to do them for long. If you are running or cycling you will perform these with a 1:2 work to rest ratio. If you are rowing or swimming you can do this at a 1:1 work to rest ratio.
    The Zone 3.5 workout is comprised of a series of bodyweight exercises that will hit your entire body. There are bail out exercises provided in case you either can’t do the main exercise or can’t sustain it for the entire 45 seconds that it is prescribed. Just do as much as you can within your means. If you stick to this cardio workout plan I promise, you will get lean as long as you maintain your consistency.
    The prescribed amount of time that you are training for will increase in each of these three zones by 5 minutes each month.
    When you’ve done this, please be sure to check back in every month and leave an update in the comments about how you are doing and how much weight loss you have had.

      I was just making a joke. Posting this comment 5 hours after the video is published, of course it is impossible for me to be doing it for the past 5 months I just know of it a few mins ago.
      Joke aside, I have been doing minimal level of exercise and sticking to the schedule for the past 3 yrs with the schedule I created, but following Jeff videos for the correct type of movement and yes it is real gain I made. I never have problem of being overweight but want to exercise for the sake of my own health, I am 25 yrs old 173 cm tall and weight only 51kg. The exercise routine I do is very low; push up drop set 17 15 13 11 9, 2 day breaks, chin up 5 set of 5, 2 day breaks, one run set(Jogging 3 min,run 45 sec, Jogging 2 min, run 30 sec, Jogging 1 min, run 15 sec, Jogging 1 min), 2 day breaks, chin up 5 set of 5. Repeat.
      It is nothing to compare to what the community here does. But I guarantee you if you stick to it you do be surprise how much healthier you will get. I used to be tired easily, but not any longer. I didn't loose or gain any weight but the fat I used to have greatly reduces and gain in muscle instead. Now I have 4 packs on my abs and can run for one kilometer (a running distance that used to make me faint). The main reason I didn't went all in is that I know I don't enjoy exercising and would quit mid way had I commit too much, so I rather stick with what I can maintain as a routine for the rest of my life than force myself into something that I can't sustain. Jeff said it best "if you enjoy what you are doing you will be able to keep doing it". Anyway, thanks Jeff! for your always informative and motivational videos!

    technically, when you determine the zone training, you should check you heart rest rate (for example 60), your max (for example 180), and so you have a 180-60=120 delta. Now you use those percentages you showed: zona 2 will be 60% of 120 (72) + your resting hear rate (72+60 = 132). And no, walking, even fast, will never be considered zone 2 (unless you are in a really really bad shape). Zone 2 is normally a slow run, at jog speed. (this is taken from the book "80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster By Training Slower" by Matt Fitzgerald, Robert Johnson). Instead, talking about the 2 zone 5 trainings a week, I'm with you. But also 20 mins at zone 4 is pretty good (best exercise for Vo2Max is considered to be interval training with 3-4 minutes in zone 4, ending to exhaustion. Then jog, waiting until your heart drops again in zone 2, then repeat. 3-4 reps. This is my favourite, works like a charm)

    While there is a simple math problem for heart rate, that isn't exactly true for everyone and it can easily get in the way of training if you focus too hard on it. I'm 46 and when I do a simple 1 mile run, my heart rate is about 172-180, depending on how fast I run it. I'm not out of breath nor fatigued. My max heart rate is around 186 according to my cardiologist. I run 2-3 times per week and lift weights 4-5 days a week but I basically have to walk tot keep my heart rate in those lower zones and I've been running forever. My Dr. just tells me to stop when I feel out of breath and don't worry about my HR because I have great recovery. So even though I'm trying to get it in certain zones, it is almost impossible for me, unless I run, walk, run... Anyways, I still use your programs and watch your videos because good info is good info.

    • @sargewam
      @sargewam 3 місяці тому +1

      What I see most of the science-informed coaches (Jeff Cavaliere, Jeff Nippard, Mike Israetel, etc.) as well as bodybuilding-interested doctors recommending is ideally to do cardio as an entirely separate workout (resulting in multiple workout sessions on the same day), or, if time/location constraints limit you to a single daily workout, do cardio after weight training. I haven't seen anyone in the last few years recommend doing cardio right before weight training, UNLESS you are primarily an endurance athlete for whom cardio is top priority and are just trying to add in some strength or hypertrophy work.
      A classic issue that comes up here (also mentioned by several of the above experts, and no one seems to have a full solution for it if you are limited to one workout per day) is that most cardio options are leg-based in some way and can thus interfere with recovery from lower body lifting sessions. This is a bit less of an issue if you make sure your Zone 2 workouts truly never go above Zone 2 and make sure to keep your Zone 5 bouts really short.
      My own best attempt to address all this is to get in some cardio in the morning or (more commonly) during my lunch break a few days a week, and lift after work. (I work 8-4, from home, then lift at the Y.) I'm still scheming on how to get in some more cardio.

If you wanna lose weight, do exercise that makes you feel good and can work hard at and eat less calories. Calorie count is a good way of measuring.
    If you enjoy food and dont care, then do whatever the hell you want. If you want to enjoy any food and not get fat then have count the calories and make sure it is less or the same as what you should be intaking. All in all will helo you lose weight.

      but thats problematic, the body doesnt just mindlessly remove fat in a calorie deficit, it knows that your body's fat burns Less calories than muscle, and if you arent using your muscles your body will get rid of them to cut back on energy expenditure, not to mention exercising increases your deficit and allows you to eat more if you wish to do so
      No Exercise+ No Diet = Fat
      Exercise+ no Diet = Bulky (20%+ body fat)
      No exercise + Diet = skinny fat
