Essential skill 1
Balance: This is the foundation of all movement. Good balance improves coordination, creates better posture, reduces falls, and helps with activities like carrying objects or playing sports.
Here are two great exercises to help you become balanced:
Single leg stands: Stand on one leg for 30 seconds, and then repeat on the other side. Hold onto something for support if needed. (Beginner)
Walking on a balance beam: This one helps to improve focus and core engagement. (Intermediate)
Essential skill 2
Running: A basic human function, running improves cardiovascular health, builds leg strength, and is a great way to stay fit. Whether you’re using it for cardio, sports or even evading danger - running is one of the most essential skills we as human beings possess.
Here are two great exercises to help you become a better runner:
Interval training: Alternate between periods of high-intensity running and recovery speed walking. (Beginner/Intermediate)
#fitness #workout #exercise
Running drills: High knees, butt kicks, and jumping rope while moving forward improve running form and coordination. (All Levels)
Essential skill 3
Crawling: It’s not just for babies! Crawling improves core strength and shoulder stability. Staying low under smoke, squeezing through tight spaces, or performing military drills - crawling offers stealth and access in tough situations.
Here are two great exercises to help up your crawling game:
Bear crawls: Improves core and shoulder stability. Start on hands and knees, then alternate opposing arms and legs while keeping your back flat. Slow and controlled is the name of the game. (Beginner/Intermediate)
Inchworm: Great for core and upper body strength. Start standing, then walk your hands down until you’re in a plank position, then walk your feet back up to meet your hands and repeat. (Intermediate/Advanced)
Essential skill 4
Jumping: Improves explosive power, leg strength, and coordination. In addition to sports, jumping will help you clear obstacles or help you grab items just out of reach. A good jump can literally be a lifesaver.
Here are three great exercises to help you increase your jump:
Squat jumps: Builds intense power. Do a bodyweight squat then jump explosively as high as you can. (Beginner/Intermediate)
Box jumps: This helps to increase your jump height. Use a sturdy box, and jump explosively to land on top, starting with a shorter box and progressively working your way up to taller ones. (Intermediate/Advanced)
Single leg hops: Improves balance and leg strength. Hop on one leg for repetitions, then switch. (All Levels)
Essential skill 5
Climbing: Builds upper body strength and grip strength. In addition, climbing can benefit many sports like gymnastics or kayaking. Daily activities will improve as well, due to climbing’s focus on increased strength and flexibility.
Here are two great exercises to help you become a better climber:
Rock climbing gyms: The safest way to learn and practice climbing techniques. (All Levels)
Pull-ups: Builds upper body pulling strength essential for climbing. (Beginner/Intermediate)
Essential skill 6
Lifting: Essential for everyday tasks and helping to build overall strength. Learning proper lifting techniques prevents injuries and back pain.
Here are two great exercises to help you learn to properly lift:
Deadlifts: Builds total-body strength, improves posture, functional movement and athletic performance. (Beginner/Intermediate with proper form)
Squats: Builds lower body strength, improves core stability and greatly helps to improve everyday activities. (All Levels)
Essential skill 7
Carrying: Goes hand-in-hand with lifting. A strong core and proper technique ensure you can carry objects safely and efficiently, whether that be building materials on a construction site, food from the grocery store or even other people.
Here are three great exercises to help better your carrying skills:
Farmer's walk: Hold weights in each hand and walk for distance. Improves grip strength and core stability. (Beginner/Intermediate)
Suitcase carry: Hold a weight in one hand and walk for distance, switch hands halfway. Improves core stability and unilateral strength. (Beginner/Intermediate)
Walking lunges with weights: Combine the benefits of lunges and carrying weights. It also helps to improve cardiovascular capabilities. (Intermediate/Advanced) - Розваги
And for all those who aren't a buff dude/dudette; just stay active. Stand while you work, take the stairs, walk the dog, use the bicycle for short journeys. We burn most of our calories just living out a regular, daily life but a sedentary lifestyle is the real enemy...
Have been following you guys for a LONG time now. I cannot get enough of your content. Please please please stay awesome and keep it up. Hope to meet you guys at some point one day
This is good stuff for those already in good, overall shape. For those of you who are not, start with just walking a mile a day. You'll be amazed how much better you feel after a month. Next, get into hiking your local trails with some elevation gains, preferably. It may take you a few months before you can get into following things in this video. If you try them right away, you'll give up without first basic, conditioning of your body. Get out there and walk!
Love it, straight to the point and practical .. would love more daily routine videos
awesome!! A Work-out Plan book would be unreal for these 7 essential skills!
Buff Dudes Yeahhh💪💪🍻! Hope you guys have a great day! Buff fam!
I'm 22 and I was skinny for my whole life, but guys like you helped me to find my passion in fitness and now I'm working on my body daily and even trying to become a fitness influencer cuz I wanna share my path with people and maybe inspire someone else
You didn’t find a passion. You don’t know what passion is. This is just you enjoying your body looking better with every workout.
No one cares
Nice👍💪
Learn to lift before trying to influence other people
Just Lift. Don't need to influence. We have enough of those running around
Love this video!
Thank you Buff Dudes. I like the knowledge conveyed but also the sense of humor at times throughout the video. Laughter is good medicine for the soul. Have a good one!
Love your videos guys, Ive learned alot from you guys especially with the Flexible diet video you guys did
Thanks for letting us know Scotty, makes us happy to hear that! 💪
This is a great video. Keep up the good work 👏 💪
One of the best videos ever. You guys are awesome
I love you guys! Keep rocking it!
More videos like this please! Thanks guys! Could you do one on nerve flossing and weighted stretching? A lot of people could benefit!
Thank you for all your videos and useful content, I used it and I really saw its effect. For example, I did the Venom exercises that you taught for a week and I saw its effect, good luck.❤
I sure needed to see it haha and spreading it around.
You guys are always a welcome edition of building muscles, And you do it in a fun real way 😊😊
I know you mentioned it briefly at the end, but swimming should definitely be on this list.
Thank you! I'm going to try and incorporate these into my routine on my own weight loss journey.
These are Gold!!!
Great video
I'm glad you added that tip at the end!! I'm 50 and am the most physically capable person in my family. Despite being the eldest son...I'm the only one who works out regularly while everyone else in my family is on medications and c-paps!! A lot of your "Buff Dudes" audience probably are too and watch your channel to up their ante on workout tips. We really should do better on sending links to your videos to the people who need it the most!! (I'll start with my brothers and their kids.)
Hell ye :) another great video from you guys
Great video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great stuff guys, love it. As a 45 year old guy trying to stay in functional shape, all of these are terrific and absolutely true.
Thanks a lot big brother
Great video my dudes
Great presentation. Training balance and jumping is underrated. Improved my athleticism so much by introducing it after a knee surgery
28 here and I appreciate this video. I think it's gonna help me once I do my workouts. I'm so glad that I subscribed to you Buff Dudes.
Been following you since that time you made tater tots. Thanks for still providing quality content! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
This video is amazingly done. Love the humor 😂
Thanks 💪😎
Just as a side note, Hudson is looking in fantastic shape right now. Keep it up!
Commenting for the algorithm, thanks for the video.
Because of this video I'm going to switch up my entire fitness routine for the better. Fantastic video!
Cardio and strength training are hugely beneficial for pretty much everything;
not just for physical fitness, but also for sleep quality, mood, concentration, memory, and so on.
Craw like Pro! :)
For a 45 year old man, your channel is pure gold.
God Speed to you guys.
I'm 35 next week and I have been trying to better myself. Some of these I already did but it's great to confirm I was in the right track.
I've told myself: if I can't run away, use stairs for several floors, carry someone at least my own size or lift myself up on a ledge, I'm a liability in an emergency.
if you really wanna feel better about yourself , go check out how you measure up against the average man. It was like a Men's Fitness magazine article. The average mans pull-up was 1. and bench press for a man in his 30s 1 rep max is 158 or something. I dont know if it was bs or not though and may be skewed.
@@MultiplexityGaming 158 lbs? I would expect the average male adult to struble with 100 lbs...
@@MultiplexityGaming With those stats, I expect this is the average American. I imagine these stats must be very different depending on the country and culture.
Regardless, I only compare myself to how I was in my 20s. Regular gym workout plus Muay Thai kick boxing 4 days a week for the most part. I don't aime to go back to that as it was insane and got me injured. But a healthy achievable fitness level like described in the video.
@@MultiplexityGaming Bad metric to compare yourself to. In an obstacle course, an example of a challenge created to make you excel, you jump over the tall hurdles and crawl under the short ones.
I see a buff dude vid and I click. Always informational and entertaining.
I have a suggestion for a video idea: Both the Anterior Oblique Sling and the Posterior Oblique sling. You can make an entire channel on this topic alone
Hahh, I love how many of the tips are demonstrated by retrieving a toy. Those toys have a mind of their own ;D
hahahaa that starting montage of AUUUGHHH!! pains 🤣
I have been waiting to see the BuffDudes climb! full video of BuffDudes Vs climbing?
i started working out years ago and it was what fixed my neck and back pain.
I was going to say swimming is essential to prevent drowning plus its so good for your body but you added it at the end
awesome video 💪
Stay buff!
I've been lifting weights and doing pushups and pullups for over a decade now. I started doing yoga 2 months ago and I have to say it was the missing link to feeling young again. I had all kinds of back pains, shoulder pains, neck pains but doing yoga as easy, simple and useless as it looks actually made me feel like I can move freely without pain again. I've always thought of yoga as wishy washy bullshit but it really does something that most of the people training today are missing from their routine. But it also goes the other way around. The women that do yoga are lacking in strength training and they are just as stubborn about it as I was about yoga. Hope everyone finds the balance one day.
Yeah!!
26 here. Been dealing with lumbar stress fracture for about 3 years, and to this day, have not used that as an excuse to grow lazy and play the role of victim. I’m 240lbs strong, run miles in the mornings, and lift in the evening. It’s understandable some have it worse, but it’s all about adaptability.
I miss the Facebook lives you guys used to do on Saturday mornings!
I would add rotational and lateral movements. Agility in all 3 planes of motion is something I consider an essential skill.
Balance, running, crawling, jumping, climbing, lifting, and carrying with recommended exercises for each
Or just... BRCJCLC! For short.
nice
Great video. I think only mobility is missing. Especially people who trained intensively at some point will become very stiff over time.
If you keep Training under these circumstances you might end up injured. Especially shoulders but also hip flexibility when squatting alot is very important.
"Jump for toy."😆I guess it's Hudson's favorite exercise!
Wish that there books were on Amazon 😢😢
So when is this plan dropping? It's a Day One buy for me.
I turn 40 in 4 months, it feels so strange to me. Mentally I feel like I’m 19, physically I feel ruined 😆 I really need to sort myself out!!
Lets get this Algo Certified🔥🔥🔥
Get some ritdye and you can make your spotters black when the color starts to bug you!
Epic
Everyone blames physical problems on being “old”, but in my opinion it’s really a matter of use it, or lose it. As we get older people tend to become more sedentary, which causes these physical effects to occur.
I just felt like running
The inche worm i do it in reverse i come up by making my hands go backwards
I used to wired and tired , low muscle mass and lots of coffee. The gym helped now I feel I have lots of energy for just normal life
Could yall do a video trying CrossFit?
Did you leave out skill #8 (flexing) on purpose? It’s essential as fuck! 💪😎
Having just turned 40 recently, I wouldn't call it "a recent trend". When I was 20, people told me this was the peak of everything, it's all downhill from here. Late 20s, same with 30. Late 30s? "40 is when things start going to shit ". So far, they were wrong every time. Unless they stopped moving. Those skills sound like solid advice for every human 👍
I need to know Hudson’s hair products. He has the hair I’m trying to get
I'm in my 60s, and ALL of these fitness skills are excellent. Except, maybe, those walking lunges with weights! Those would blow my knees out for sure!
Based. I'm 25, and it is absolutely a fetish within people my age to be incompetent in health and fitness, thank yall for doin what you do
There are very little excuses to be made. Most blame money or time, but I'm poor and get up an hour early to work out in my living room.
My problem is that restricting calories lowers my mood, so I have to be careful with my mental health. Otherwise it's just a case of grinding through each day, but there are rewards to be had.
Should I run with my left arm straight out like you? I feel like there’s a science to this.
Jeezus, aĺl these were great but so taxing. Crossfitters love these excercises. I would also add in burpees✊️
A body in motion stays in motion. A body at rest stays at rest and starts to get random pains everywhere.
So how do I program this as a 2-day split with a workout A and a workout? B
Box jumps. “Use a sturdy box” proceeds to jump on two soft boxes that slides away from each other 😂
Can you, or should you apply this when you are unfit and 62?
I'm training with little weights and I have done 47 000 total reps. Trying to reach 100 000 in some months.
I like this advice. Few questions tho...
How does a fat dude like me do explosive jumps without making my ankles explode?
Also, bc I'm a nerd that sits at a computer, my wrists are kinda wimpy. How do I fix that?
Lifting weights and doing any wrist intense things are difficult bc of my weak wrists. I see this as the first hurdle in order to open the gate to better weight lifting and weight loss.
Hudson is absolutely massive now!
44 and I have learned that father time is undefeated but you just have to do what you can and learn that as you age , you are not what you once were.... It's a tough life lesson that takes some injuries to really learn
Stay buff dudes as long as you can
STAY BUFFFFFFFFF
And Rotation
I'm 34, and 2 years into my first sedentary desk job. I need all of this more than ever, but I really don't know if I can do much of it at all, just standing up in the morning comes with pain in so many areas.
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to get started regaining physical capability? I hate not being able to keep up with my daughter at the playground.
Sounds like you just need to start with walking. Seriously, you'll be AMAZED with the results, if you can go out for a mourning or after work walk. Just ease into things. Walk 1 mile a day, every day for 2 weeks. Then, see if you can double that up, with a morning and an after work walk for 2 miles a day, or just make it 2 miles a day before or after work but two walks would be best. Next, see where the nearing hiking trails are and find one with a good 2-3 mile loop and see if you can hike that every day, if it's not too far away, or at least find a trail to hike on the weekends, while you just walk around your neighborhood during the work week.
Do this for a month and you'll be AMAZED at how much better you start feeling! Hopefully, you'll also gain an interest in backpacking and go out trail camping from time to time too. The weight and longer hikes, after a couple months, will push you into far better shape.
like the previous comment says, walking is a great place to start. just walk a little every day and increase it from week to week. you can add in core work later by doing planks if you are able or leg raises if they are more suitable for you.
The balance tip in the video is good and the easiest to fit into your day. just do it while brushing your teeth. stand on 1 leg for the first minute, and the other leg for the second
Your body has to be in good shape to get into good shape, however. Like the poor shape of feet or knees can jack up everything which causes a downward spiral. The more you try to improve the more injuries you get. I had perfect posture in the Navy, people even told me I sit up straighter than anyone they've ever seen. But I got a foot injury on a sensitive spot and the VA never wants to help me fix it. So I learned to walk on it to not cause pain which created knee problems, hip problems, back problems, and now neck problems. And even if I want to be a hard-charger I can't because pain always rears its head. Then it gets so bad I have to recover for 1-2 weeks. So if someone has feet issues they are limited. It sucks. Even biking can cause sharp pain in my foot. Some people just don't get a great quality of body parts and can only do what they can.
Never crawled so much since becoming a dad, especially toddler stage.
Are there any exercises that make it so your ankles and knees don't explode when you jump off of ANYTHING at 40+ years old? Asking for a friend...
I think you've a baltic gene on your past , greetings from Turkiye bro 😂
I'm trying to be that third option.
Thanks buffdudes.
You mean I can't just pull a Kirby and swallow a buff dude and gain his body?
Wait...that didn't sound right...
I feel like this list is missing a pushing movement.
Swimming great as well.
i only train to carry groceries for my mom
"Men complaining about their declining physical skills" yeeeep.
Im in my mid 30's now and everyone my age is acting like it's all over lol...and they all live unhealthy lives so no suprise there.
Great vid as always dudes 💪
Dream gym🥹...🇺🇸
B D !!!!!!
Balance is merely a function of core strength. Best exercise to improve balance is squats (with proper form)
There is far more to balance than core strength.
Or work in a farm with minimal machines
Where is flexibility guys? :(
im not a man anymore. im a walking corpse. i go to bed in pain every day, and i wake up in pain every day. my life officially ended 5 years ago when my back got destroyed by deadlifting.
Deadlifting is completely overrated. In the long run it does far more harm than good. A big reason is ego, always wanting to lift heavier. For life long strength and health there is no reason to go higher than 225.
@@idx1941 on paper it's a great exercise for general strength training, but 99% people are not training with competitive goals so they don't really need to develop it very far.
some people can deadlift long term with zero issues, but that's because they have the leverages for it. if you don't, you might want to consider an elevated alternative, or a trap bar (which usually is elevated by a little bit anyways).
ultimately, though, i think these lifts really have close to zero utility outside of the gym.
i was able to deadlift 3 plates before any training at all, with training i got close to 6 plates. then i got hurt. the funny thing is that i was actually doing a low intensity workout that day, and i was working with about 70% of my 1RM. i thought i had good form, too.
over the years i did try to rehab myself in many ways. now i've just basically given up, because nothing i ever yielded any positive results. i'm just trying to be careful and eat painkillers.
