@ryantrudell4686 yeah just build whatever Upper routine you like and run that twice a week and then build a Lower routine and run that twice a week. I sometimes change around the accessory or warmup stuff but the main lifts are generally the same. Upper is usually a horizontal push/pull and a vertical push/pull and I cap it off with a lateral cable shoulder and some biceps/triceps. Lower day is a some hinging, squatting, inner/outer thighs, and then some iso quads and hamstring work on the machines, plus hip flexors on the cable with the ankle cuff. Once a week I throw in some box jumps just to retain some jumping ability. I'm old lol.
the main problem is my tennis also put me in a recovery hole so I'm gonna cap the tennis at 2x/week for the winter and get strong for the spring/summer season.
I smoked for 20 years, quit August 9, 2023. Started running a half mile then a mile, then 2 miles, about 12 minute miles. Kept at it, got my mile times below 10 minutes. Single speed mile about 7 minutes. Did 5k's for about 4 months. Now that the weather is cooler I run 5 miles easily. I run 4x per week, and I take a max cold bath after which I never did before. Pro tip : Get an amazing playlist and enjoy your runs!
Yup ! There’s power in that playlist 😂😂😂 I smashed a 5km yesterday whereas without music I drag my feet to hit 3km - I don’t know - maybe spoilt - in the beginning I always had music on and I lost a lot of weight
I started running January this year, and have lost 25kg and looking and feeling better than ever. Never thought i'd be a runner, felt like I was going to die at the start, but now I look forward to my evening run every day. The sad thing is, most people in my suburbia are lazy and insular. I pass only a few other runners/walkers. Seems many are happy to just rot at home eating toxic food and consuming toxic media.
@@Frank-p9o1m Lol what? I've always been fit and exercised regularly. I have walked nearly every day around my neighbourhood for 20+ years. Running is new to me yes. But i've always loved the outdoors..
Walking is insanely good for you Not only it's gentle exercise that is accessible for a lot of people but it's also really good for regulating thoughts and moods so it helps anxiety a lot. You can also choose the pace and to make it more 'intense' you can walk fast like almost run. It's excellent. At least an hour everyday would change people's life drastically. The only thing: it takes time. People should have more time to themselves. If you can't do that, get a home bike and do an hour a day 6 out of 7 days a week while watching whatever you usually watch. Biking front of the TV instead of eating some processed crap. While doing any of these activities, drink water. Just water. Not electrolytes or energy drinks. Back to basic human needs. Water and moving. If you can't do an hour, do 30 or 45 minutes. Anything is better than nothing.
I’ve met plenty of 95+ ppl in my life, they didn’t do running they worked with their hands. Ate biscuits and gravy with bacon. The key is to be active. But reality we can punch out any day. Live life; not in fear of losing it.
Correct... you should excercise as a means to maintain your quality of life. But understand you will never escape the jaws of death. If you ever do, please let me know.
I'm embarrassed to have to point out that your anecdote about survivorship is obviously a perfect example of survivorship bias. Plenty of people who worked with their hands and ate biscuits and gravy died before they reached 95; you didn't meet them... because they were dead.
@@SkidMcmarxx This is utter nonsense. See: Odden, I., Nymoen, L., Urianstad, T., Hammarström, D., Mølmen, K. S., & Rønnestad, B. R.

For people where it's accessible, outdoor cycling is another low intensity sport that can and is often done by older people. I'm in my 30s but my cycling club consists primarily of 60+ age people, including one 80-something year old, who regularly do ~100km cycles. So that's a great way to do cardio for longevity. Plus it's fun (most people enjoy going for bike rides). It's hard at first, but after a few months of cycling outdoors, especually in a group, 100km doesn't seem like a big deal anymore, just a slightly more intense hike. And cycling in a cycling club ticks the social box too, so it's another great option!
When my face is so flush from the blood I know that that there is blood being pulsated through every capillary in my body. Everything is getting knocked loose, put back into the soup (the blood) and delt with in the kidneys and liver. I visualize the heat proteins eating cancer as I run.
People have no idea how many healthy stuff is trapped and/or secretes through endothelial (blood vessel walls) contractions. Basically, move move move for free anti-aging factors, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory stuff, they just keep coming out of your blood vessels.
yes yes yes yes yes, the nutrients are delivered through the blood, it’s why it’s important to do what you can to avoid heart disease, it’s why you should be avoiding cholesterol and saturated fat your body it’s constantly renewing cells such that every 5-10 years 95% of your the material that makes up your entire body is completely brand new without providing your body with those nutrients your does a poor job at this and you age badly
I’ve read through a lot of the comments and lots of them are saying cardio is key to longevity. I will say this, cardio is important to a degree. It doesn’t take much to maintain a healthy heart, any more and you’re just working to improve cardio so you can run further etc. building muscle and strength is far more important for longevity and quality of life. I am a fireman and I see the aging process everyday at work. The majority of the problems come down to weakness and lack of muscle. I’ve done cpr on the side of the road for a 50 yr old that went into cardiac arrest while doing is 5 mile run that he did 5 days a week(when it’s your time it’s your time). The one call I’ve never been on in the 22 yrs I’ve been doing this job is for someone that does strength training and is to weak to get off the toilet or has fallen and can’t get up and laid on the ground for 2 days waiting for someone to find them. Trust me, You don’t want this to be you. If you love running or biking or whatever keep doing it but if your not resistance training in some way all the running in the world isn’t gonna help you.
I mix my aerobic training with my resistance training for part of my routine by lowering the weight a bit and sprinting with the movement by doing bicep curls, shoulder press, bench press, back, or squats.
True. Never felt better when I was working out 3x per week, running 3x per week and walked every day basically more then 6000 steps atleast. Lately I just walk alot 8000-11.000 steps + gym 3x per week. But with better weather I will go cycle again. Also the best thing ever is to go hiking with friends :). Sleeping somewhere outside, making a fire. Nothing beats that. Just stay moving people. I can see my mom, she didnt moved enough in her life and right now she is in her 60s and she has problems with her back, she is overweight and overall, the life quality goes down. Health is wealth.

I do crossfit 5 times per week. a few months ago I began to track my steps by doing a 40 minutes walks 6 times per week in the early morning and I make sure that my average steps per week doesn't go below 10K steps. You cant imagine how it effects positively on my mood and feeling active throughout the day. Also I noticed that I recover faster, or lets say the sorness goes faster than before.
Great attempt at a joke but it misses the underlying truths. We will have a way higher ratio of centenarians in the future because we now understand things that are good for longevity. All the people who were born in 1900 and lived to the year 2000 had great genetics.
@@gardenofthenorth8390 constantly lidting and running will wear you down hard. It should really be max 3-4 times a week. People who run for decades look so destroyed lmao. Many of them also get heartattacks.

12-15k steps a day, upper lower 4x a week. But damn, I didn't expect to hear Airsoft get a mention... played for 10 years, it's a great workout if you're an active, aggressive player, especially if you wear heavier gear. Helps that it's fun as hell too!
My lonely chapter begun last year. Since then, I lost weight in my body 118 kg / 261 lbs to 70 kg / 154 lbs. Getting in shape. I do 10 Suryanamaskar, 30 normal burpee and 10 Navy seal burpee. Walk around 50+ KM per week. without gym. Just floor and Road ( David goggins ) Manage my financial stability ( no debt ).
I’m 43, been training for over 30 years. Running now just hurts me (though I still love it) weights have stood by me the whole time. I now skip for ten mins intensively a few times a week and lift weights around 4 a week. Still do the odd run/cycle but generally makes me feel worse overall sadly
@@ahhalla Stress. By nature a silent killer. I used to run 10 miles a day. By 30 my knees were shot and hypertension was starting to rear its ugly head. Wife and I switched to lengthy hikes instead. 30 years later, I've outlived most of my friends. Blind luck I guess.
@@toddtheisen8386If by 30 your knees are hurting while running, you did something wrong. A well constructed running plan combined with resistance training is actually the best way to have healthy knees for the longest period possible.
@@toddtheisen8386To be fair running 10 miles a day for an extended period of time is way too much. That doesn't mean that running is bad, just that you probably did too much of it.
Hi Chris. Great show! What's the story with AG1? Recently, I have seen numerous posts, etc that have questioned it's effectiveness and/or validity, can you help with additional info that I am unaware of?
Studies have proven that you can gain the benefits of exercise just by thinking intensely about doing the exercise - your mind is the no 1 factor In you living well and living long - you are what you think, choose wisely. Edit - look at Dr Bruce Lipton and Dr Joe Dispenza for a deep dive into this.

One thing I've noticed though: when I train continuously for months, say 3 days x week weights and 3 running, my blood pressure increase. When I do basically nothing physical, besides walking a couple of hours a day, or maybe not even that, my blood pressure is optimal. Any idea why this happens?
I never met Greg, but you can tell his UA-cam persona isn't who he really is... I think he's funny & entertaining most of the time, with some practical workout info for regular guys....I don't buy his supplements...I think most supplements are overpriced & overated....
@@bflo5210 If you want to see him being a 'normal guy', go watch his very first videos. There's actually no yelling and theatrics there. Just calm and concise explanations. I really loved those. Can't watch what he's unfortunately settled into doing since. I mean, it seems to work for a great many people and everyone needs to make a buck, I guess. But personally I just find it exhausting.

From a public health perspective (so 35,000 feet, holistic, national view): In America, people need to swallow the horse tablets. Infrastructure, ultra-processed foods, work/life imbalances, mental/emotional stress, lack of meaningful relationships/spaces, etc. create rushing waters that push people into obesity. In the UK (and Canada, Australia, other commonwealth countries) and EU, there is more than in the US of a public-private partnership on the overall health of the populace. In the US, there is no such explicit or tacit agreement and therefore people are left to swim upstream as they navigate their own health without sufficient educational or material resources to do so.
There is a lot we can learn from Europe. Increased regulation of agriculture more reliance on public transportation create a lifestyle that encourages healthy outcomes even with all the cigarettes smoking and drinking most Europeans not UK are doing well.
I live in Australia and believe me it is no better here. Most people are lazy and insular, there's no third places, the food is rubbish quality filled with poison and sold for top dollar, work consumes too much time and almost every person under 50 is depressed and/or mentally ill.
Trust me when I say that it isn't much better in the rest of the Anglosphere, where the public-private partnership on health becomes more or less an outsourcing of health care to the "free" government system. It tips so far towards the public side of things that people have no incentive to care about their private, personal obligations.
Yeah. Being broke and alone in a screwed up world I often sit and think how can I live longer in this heaven on earth!!?😂😂. I’ll pass honey. Thanks tho.
Get a dog. Two hours outside every day, no excuses. All weathers. Got the flu? Tough, she needs walking. Pouring with rain? Same. Both at once? Matters not, get out there. 🤔 Actually, now I think about it - don't get a dog, it's awful. 😉
Working hard to grow my audience on UA-cam. Focusing on giving advice to younger people like myself to improve their lifestyle and start right habits at a young age like I did. I'm 19 and I talk about all the tips and experiences I learned along my journey. Feel free to check it out and would really love to get some feedback from you guys!
What if you do resistance training and intense cardio, but are pretty sedentary throughout the rest of the day? Would more general activity still give you a boost?
@ under ideal circumstances … yes. Not doing anything crazy to prolong life, no artificial interventions. Just the right nutrition, the right amount of rest, exercise, social contact, sanitation, lack of toxicity / carcinogens, etc. Yes that’s right. People who live long are those who happen to chance on some ideal combo of those things in life. It’s not that they’re some genetic freak who simply lives a long time. People think it’s a miracle that some of us live to 80 now. People have been living to 80 forever, it’s just a lot of people also died younger because we didn’t have medicine. The fact that more people hit 80 now doesn’t really mean people are living longer.
Love Dr. Mike’s insights, but for longevity, Zone 2 cardio (where you can hold a conversation) is the gold standard. It optimizes fat metabolism, heart health, and aerobic fitness without overtaxing the body. Pushing too hard too often can miss the mark for long-term gains!
Pretty sure you're missing the point. "Longevity" is being healthy and mobile for your time on earth, it doesn't mean you're going to live to 120. Smarten up
Get a hobby for your cardio, so it feels like fun and the word exercise doesnt even enter your head. It doesn't matter if it's snowing outside, if the surf is good I'm in there 🤙😅😅
@ thank you so much. This is why I’m watching Dr. Mike. For weights you can just know when someone is bs’ing or not👊 Yes, as you said load bearing 👊 This will just get me faster in the water I’m thinking 🔱
The majority of people will never gain as much muscle as Mike, even with the use of gear. So, the classic natural hobbyist doesn’t need to fear the gym. Even with maximum effort and good genetics, it takes years, maybe decades, to gain substantial mass to the point where it might strain your cardiovascular system. If you’re consistent and dedicated, you might achieve a physique similar to Will Tennyson’s, even without a pump. It’s easier to get this by sitting on the couch and eating Cheetos.
Is it just me or does this guy sound like he’s regurgitating Peter Attia talking points in a Jocko voice? I wanna watch the rest of the episode but I can’t get over the similarities 😂
The stats on intense cardio are very misleading. I doubt seriously any of the nonogenarians living today have gotten much if any intense cardio in their entire lives.
Disagree if it’s gone too far. I see too many people running long distances 3miles+ daily, on concrete… most look as if they’re in pain. But hey, we all have what works for us as well as different philosophies.
@deanschanzenbach7506 Don't get me wrong. I exercise. I have been since the military but time always wins and you don't know what ailments or disease you might get. I'm 49 and have been working with hands all my life on machines. Developing arthritis in my knees and hands. They hurt especially in winter but that's what I like to do. Being 80 doesn't sound fun. Id rather be dead than in severe pain and or be a burden on anyone.
@Wadey1212 That's awesome. I really hope that's me but I don't know. I know it may sound like complaining which I don't like but the facts are, having been in the military for many years and then working in Industrial maintenance in different plants has worn my joints out. Don't get me wrong,I'm trying to actively find ways to improve my joints and different types of workouts but if I'm aching this much now. Not sure about whenever I'm 70. Maybe they'll have good legal weed by then. Who knows. Keep kicking ass though my Internet compadre!
It is not hard once you get into a routine. Takes a few weeks but soon a 5k run will be a breeze and you will actually enjoy it, and feel amazing afterwards.

Dr.Mikey,ef that longevity wellness stuff broo ! I am all about old school 90s bodybigging 😅 eat big to get big/wider grip wider back /go heavy or go home! 1990s FOREVER💪💪💪🥇🤗 Saludos desde Frankfurt/Germany! 🤗

12-15k steps a day, upper lower 4x a week. But damn, I didn't expect to hear Airsoft get a mention... played for 10 years, it's a great workout if you're an active, aggressive player, especially if you wear heavier gear. Helps that it's fun as hell too!
My lonely chapter begun last year. Since then,
I lost weight in my body 118 kg / 261 lbs to 70 kg / 154 lbs. Getting in shape. I do 10 Suryanamaskar, 30 normal burpee and 10 Navy seal burpee. Walk around 50+ KM per week. without gym. Just floor and Road ( David goggins )
Manage my financial stability ( no debt ).
Keep it up bro
Bravo 👏
Good on you. FUCK. YEAH.
I’m 43, been training for over 30 years. Running now just hurts me (though I still love it) weights have stood by me the whole time. I now skip for ten mins intensively a few times a week and lift weights around 4 a week. Still do the odd run/cycle but generally makes me feel worse overall sadly
Humans are designed to walk. The calves are called the "second heart" for a reason.
You put like zero stress on your cardiovascular system unless ur in horrendous shape.
@@ahhalla Stress. By nature a silent killer. I used to run 10 miles a day. By 30 my knees were shot and hypertension was starting to rear its ugly head. Wife and I switched to lengthy hikes instead. 30 years later, I've outlived most of my friends. Blind luck I guess.
@@toddtheisen8386If by 30 your knees are hurting while running, you did something wrong. A well constructed running plan combined with resistance training is actually the best way to have healthy knees for the longest period possible.
@@toddtheisen8386To be fair running 10 miles a day for an extended period of time is way too much. That doesn't mean that running is bad, just that you probably did too much of it.
@@toddtheisen8386 since u switched to hiking 30 years ago u never ran again?
I only just noticed this podcast is in a barn. Good choice.
Cannot wait for this episode

NEW DR MIKE EPISODE WOOOOOOOOOOO
I jump on my trampoline, snowboard and mountain bike for cardio. It’s really fun so I have no problem pushing myself.
have been doing 30min/day of rebounding since 15th Sept. and the changes in my body are awesome. Just jumping on it.
Hey! Just watched your video on Making Progress. Now you are here. Yay!
Dr Mike again? Nice! :D love him.
Hi Chris. Great show! What's the story with AG1? Recently, I have seen numerous posts, etc that have questioned it's effectiveness and/or validity, can you help with additional info that I am unaware of?
Solitary long walks is so cool.😊😊
Studies have proven that you can gain the benefits of exercise just by thinking intensely about doing the exercise - your mind is the no 1 factor In you living well and living long - you are what you think, choose wisely.
Edit - look at Dr Bruce Lipton and Dr Joe Dispenza for a deep dive into this.
I f'n love Dr. Mike... Thanks for hangin
Big ups to the people who hit the gym and go on to do their manual labor 9-5 💪

Chris is seriously jacked these days… Does anybody have a link to a video where he talks about his TRT use?
One thing I've noticed though: when I train continuously for months, say 3 days x week weights and 3 running, my blood pressure increase. When I do basically nothing physical, besides walking a couple of hours a day, or maybe not even that, my blood pressure is optimal. Any idea why this happens?
I train in boxing twice a week. I added running once or twice a week. Mixed in with my morning Calisthenics
nothing beats swimming - free, Flies and end with breast (style)
better alternate days for sustainability
period.
If you weightlift with real intensity it is enough i could not hold conversations while lifting im breathing too hard
No one PRs talking.
Fuck yes another with Mike! Love it
Liked for later, cheers Chris 👍
Activity. Physically, socially, mentally.
Except if you're prone to Afib. Then keep it below 140 bpm. Many of us keep fit guys found out the hard way over the years.
Now we need a coach Greg interview!
No we don’t as he’s a sensationalist hack who sells overpriced cookbooks
@@gm9460Of course a fan of "Dr Insecure" Israel would say that lmao
@@kinGsaL1515 His admittance of insecurity is much more respectable than you’re making it out to be
I never met Greg, but you can tell his UA-cam persona isn't who he really is... I think he's funny & entertaining most of the time, with some practical workout info for regular guys....I don't buy his supplements...I think most supplements are overpriced & overated....
@@bflo5210
If you want to see him being a 'normal guy', go watch his very first videos. There's actually no yelling and theatrics there. Just calm and concise explanations.
I really loved those. Can't watch what he's unfortunately settled into doing since. I mean, it seems to work for a great many people and everyone needs to make a buck, I guess. But personally I just find it exhausting.

From a public health perspective (so 35,000 feet, holistic, national view): In America, people need to swallow the horse tablets. Infrastructure, ultra-processed foods, work/life imbalances, mental/emotional stress, lack of meaningful relationships/spaces, etc. create rushing waters that push people into obesity. In the UK (and Canada, Australia, other commonwealth countries) and EU, there is more than in the US of a public-private partnership on the overall health of the populace. In the US, there is no such explicit or tacit agreement and therefore people are left to swim upstream as they navigate their own health without sufficient educational or material resources to do so.
There is a lot we can learn from Europe. Increased regulation of agriculture more reliance on public transportation create a lifestyle that encourages healthy outcomes even with all the cigarettes smoking and drinking most Europeans not UK are doing well.
wtf are you getting on with
I live in Australia and believe me it is no better here. Most people are lazy and insular, there's no third places, the food is rubbish quality filled with poison and sold for top dollar, work consumes too much time and almost every person under 50 is depressed and/or mentally ill.
Trust me when I say that it isn't much better in the rest of the Anglosphere, where the public-private partnership on health becomes more or less an outsourcing of health care to the "free" government system. It tips so far towards the public side of things that people have no incentive to care about their private, personal obligations.
Haha I love the „studio“ for this one!
Yeah. Being broke and alone in a screwed up world I often sit and think how can I live longer in this heaven on earth!!?😂😂. I’ll pass honey. Thanks tho.

Get a dog. Two hours outside every day, no excuses. All weathers. Got the flu? Tough, she needs walking. Pouring with rain? Same. Both at once? Matters not, get out there.
🤔
Actually, now I think about it - don't get a dog, it's awful. 😉
My neighbours never walk their dogs. None of them are in good shape.
Ag-1 wrecked my gut.
The answer: *intense CARDIO* 3-5 a week.
Mike in a GBRS shirt is menacing AF.
Working hard to grow my audience on UA-cam. Focusing on giving advice to younger people like myself to improve their lifestyle and start right habits at a young age like I did. I'm 19 and I talk about all the tips and experiences I learned along my journey. Feel free to check it out and would really love to get some feedback from you guys!
Chris' forearms are even better than Mike's. Just gorgeous.
Dr.Mike blinks manually
What if you do resistance training and intense cardio, but are pretty sedentary throughout the rest of the day? Would more general activity still give you a boost?
Have more walks during the week? At some point you have to just buy stress about it any more- since stress helps you die sooner.
2:25 decent Rick Sanchez impression
Underrated comment
The average lifespan for a human under ideal circumstances is around 120.
Average? Really?
@ under ideal circumstances … yes. Not doing anything crazy to prolong life, no artificial interventions. Just the right nutrition, the right amount of rest, exercise, social contact, sanitation, lack of toxicity / carcinogens, etc.
Yes that’s right. People who live long are those who happen to chance on some ideal combo of those things in life. It’s not that they’re some genetic freak who simply lives a long time.
People think it’s a miracle that some of us live to 80 now. People have been living to 80 forever, it’s just a lot of people also died younger because we didn’t have medicine. The fact that more people hit 80 now doesn’t really mean people are living longer.
Love Dr. Mike’s insights, but for longevity, Zone 2 cardio (where you can hold a conversation) is the gold standard. It optimizes fat metabolism, heart health, and aerobic fitness without overtaxing the body. Pushing too hard too often can miss the mark for long-term gains!
Walking is just as good if not better. And Dr mike is ignorant and clueless when it comes to a lot of things
AG1 ...still here wtf ?
None of us can afford to live a long time unless we work longer
Pretty sure you're missing the point. "Longevity" is being healthy and mobile for your time on earth, it doesn't mean you're going to live to 120. Smarten up
Get out of debt and save for retirement, stop making excuses.
@@nichtsistkostenlos6565 what makes you think I’m in debt
6:56 How is AG1 the sponsor of this video and not LMNT?
Get a hobby for your cardio, so it feels like fun and the word exercise doesnt even enter your head. It doesn't matter if it's snowing outside, if the surf is good I'm in there 🤙😅😅
Swimming, swimming,swimming 👊🔱
Swimming is good but it’s not load bearing so it’s inadequate if your trying to increase bone density
@@markrose53It is good for bone density as well
@ thank you so much. This is why I’m watching Dr. Mike. For weights you can just know when someone is bs’ing or not👊
Yes, as you said load bearing 👊 This will just get me faster in the water I’m thinking 🔱
Too much muscle mass puts too much stress on the heart. Better to focus on strength, flexibility and keeping within the recommended BMI.
The majority of people will never gain as much muscle as Mike, even with the use of gear. So, the classic natural hobbyist doesn’t need to fear the gym. Even with maximum effort and good genetics, it takes years, maybe decades, to gain substantial mass to the point where it might strain your cardiovascular system. If you’re consistent and dedicated, you might achieve a physique similar to Will Tennyson’s, even without a pump.
It’s easier to get this by sitting on the couch and eating Cheetos.
we need more and more of mike episodes
5:38 God no, I hate exercising around people, let alone having to talk to them.
Two words.
Stair
Master
Get a Carol bike.... holy crap it is amazing! Minimum effective dose for cardio!
This is why I listen to Bruce Springsteen “Born to run” while I rest all day on the couch 🤣
so this is Joe rogan with an allergic reaction?
Is it just me or does this guy sound like he’s regurgitating Peter Attia talking points in a Jocko voice? I wanna watch the rest of the episode but I can’t get over the similarities 😂
Bully your friends into exercise? Was that an order? Got it!
I dunno if I want more years.
The stats on intense cardio are very misleading. I doubt seriously any of the nonogenarians living today have gotten much if any intense cardio in their entire lives.
Walk to the gym train hard and walk back home. 🏠
An hour of zone 2 per day keeps the reaper away.
My cardio thing is saloon football. 1 or 2 hours pass by and you get wrecked
I hate cardio but I LOVE playing some sports. I just need the space and buddies to do it consistenlty
Jesus is Coming back SOONER than any of us Think!!!!. God Bless You All🙏👊
Cardio is everything. That’s why I run.
Cardio is everything as far as feeling GREAT and adding stamina goes. I’m older and I’m not a runner but still go to the gym for cardio daily
Disagree if it’s gone too far. I see too many people running long distances 3miles+ daily, on concrete… most look as if they’re in pain. But hey, we all have what works for us as well as different philosophies.
Runing is worst cardio form ever for your joints and muscles thats for sure. + 98percent of people dont even know how to run.
I have said I before and I'll say it again. The best fighting move one can learn is the 100-yard dash.
Not at all😂. Muscle tissue directly correlates to longevity. Go to the gym😂
Doc looks like a juicer
Why are both your voices a higher pitch than usual? different mics?
I thought this was Dewaynes house
Man-O_Pause lol. holy shit that completely happened to me hahahahaha. Dr. Mike dropping bars as always.
Kurt Angle in thumbnail.
Jumprope HIIT for cardio 😎
Ill be sure to avoid it. I don't want to grow really old and frail
If you do these things you probably won’t be frail.
@deanschanzenbach7506
Don't get me wrong. I exercise. I have been since the military but time always wins and you don't know what ailments or disease you might get. I'm 49 and have been working with hands all my life on machines. Developing arthritis in my knees and hands. They hurt especially in winter but that's what I like to do. Being 80 doesn't sound fun. Id rather be dead than in severe pain and or be a burden on anyone.
@@Rufio1975 I run half marathons with 80 year olds. You can still be a beast at 80! These guys are my heroes!
@Wadey1212 That's awesome. I really hope that's me but I don't know. I know it may sound like complaining which I don't like but the facts are, having been in the military for many years and then working in Industrial maintenance in different plants has worn my joints out. Don't get me wrong,I'm trying to actively find ways to improve my joints and different types of workouts but if I'm aching this much now. Not sure about whenever I'm 70. Maybe they'll have good legal weed by then. Who knows. Keep kicking ass though my Internet compadre!
You can be healthier longer
I’m chronically aware of my own mortality. And if I do live to see old age I know for a fact old me would of wanted me to run as fast as a could.
Is a new pod coming?
People don’t like to do cardio because it’s hard.
Booohooooo
It's quite unique in aim, focus and target for the efforts
It is not hard once you get into a routine. Takes a few weeks but soon a 5k run will be a breeze and you will actually enjoy it, and feel amazing afterwards.
I found it easier than lifting but my knees can’t tolerate it anymore
Def not stacking anabolics
Too bad Mike can't look at himself and say, "gosh, I could live a lot longer if I didn't do steroids" and actually stop using them.
