Recap for those who don’t got time to watch due to work or life:
1. Practice showing up and setting up the bare minimum of the good everyday.
2. You are JIM. Don’t wait for the perfect environment to materialize to do something good, working out included.
3. Find your “sacred floor” — set a baseline standard you really can’t fail nor break. Ask yourself what is the minimum of something that’ll make you happy everyday.
4. Focus on figuring out and maintaining the baseline you’ve set previously.
5. Shift your identity to become the person you wanted to be, and live by the said person’s routine down to the details.

I had a frozen shoulder for 6 years after surgery, finally got that arm functional but I had gotten so weak.  Two straight months of grueling work, just moving heavy things alone, not even doing my PT or deadhangs for traction and without noticing my body just reconstituted itself.  I wasn't eating enough to build muscle, not sleeping enough, didn't change weight at all.  My theory is I pushed my body so hard it found a way by using my interstitial and visceral fat as energy because I also don't need BP meds after 20 years.  That shit just doesn't happen.  Now every single day I start with music, movement and whatever exercises I feel like doing, rotating through all my favorites.  It's incredible to be 44 and feel 17 again before I was paralyzed.  I've rebuilt this body 3x now but it remembers who I am I guess.  😊

You have to also take into consideration that habit forming roughly takes around 60 days. So don't be too hard on yourself when you do not have these habits after just 2 or 3 weeks. And in order to form these habits offcourse the domain or the hurdles that keep you from being consistent matter and have impact.

0:54 that means you're the first dad to teach me anything 💀🤣

The BIGGEST thing I burnt myself out on several years ago was hyper-focusing on routines. Diet, exercise, sleep, I had to have my hands in every modification and adjustment. I literally had spreadsheets for it, it was pathetic.

I hadn’t touched weights in YEARS because I spent 2 years being so fixated on it all.

Signed up for a gym a few months ago after a car accident to help me recover, they offered yoga classes as many as I wanted to take included in the membership (45 USD for anyone curious) and I realized after a couple weeks that’s what I was missing: a class / group environment. So I started introducing HIIT classes into my week. One, then two, then three and now I’m at four a week.

I don’t have to think about it, I don’t have to stress about what I’m doing in the routine. I show up, do what they tell me to and then I’m done.

Would an anime physique be cool? Yeah ABSOLUTELY. But it’d come with sacrifices I’d have to make that I now realize I just don’t want to. I like tacos and beer, though I am by NO MEANS shaming anyone who makes those sacrifices for their physique.

4 HIIT classes a week, 2 sessions a week with my personal trainer, yoga twice a week still, and swimming twice a week. Feeling great, losing a bit of weight I put on (195 to now 180).

Chase your goals, be better every day. Chase those 8 pack abs and 22in arms! Or just normalize with a routine and live better.

Tl;dr - this guy is spot the heck on with this and you should really listen to him!!!

Huh. This is not just true of starting, but also of restarting. I'm 60. Since 14 I've always just been the guy who stays fit and I was following all these principles without having heard of them. After a series of traumas I fell off completely. Now I'm trying to rebuild myself and I came on this video which has let me reframe my past in an actionable way. Thanks.

Game changer video.
Simple explanation of life long fitness.
Thank you

Thanks for sharing.  Feels like habits, but I realize it is more than that.  The shift for me is the mental shift of moving my floor from not unhealthy, comparatively to as capable as I want to be when I am old.  I am still working on getting bigger before I switch to focusing on flexibility and strength, but I struggle some days with why it matters.

I'm glad I found this video cause I agree.Starting off simple is what people should do neither you're trying to lose weight or as it was put in this video , you know , have that anime style body and you're not gonna start off. Do we like 500 crunches every day and 500 push-ups and all that you gotta start off slow where your body feels okay, but just enough to get sore break that Uber in time, then keep adding and adding when the time comes.  If not, you're gonna get gassed out. And I learned this the hard way getting back into the gym as an overweight person, and even though I'm still a little overweight, I'm getting my weight down correctly because I was trying way too hard to see what works, instead of understanding the discipline of something that's supposed to work for me that. Way, it feels sustainable, even if you take 1 day off. You can just do something as simple as an hour walk. You know, time yourself for an hour, you know, use the little Stopwatch thing on your phone and you know  Come home , do some other body weight exercises , or if you have weights there , use them

On my second shot of shit sake, this is definitely helping 🎉

1 month gym complete 🪽🙌🏻

But I will say this somethings are easier for others as well. I just want to give this one opinion. You can go to the gym if you feel that's a place to relieve stress. Cause that's what I do by working out there. I can't do it at home because if I do. I'm going to wanna play video games more and probably get, you know, whatever needs to be cleaned around the house instead of actually working on.  Doing like an hour of walkie on time and you know a bunch of other exercises later, maybe that's just me.But I just feel like when you're in a place where it acquires you to do what makes sense about it like the gym , you know , you're gonna do it , you're not gonna be on your phone for hours , just pretending you're taking a shit on the toilet

Amazing video.
Thanks!

I don’t like anime at all but I really liked this video. It gave me a new way to look at working out😊

13:34 oh my God, I didn’t know you liked piano too. I love the piano.

Lifestyle change for the rest of my life?! THATS MY EXACT GOAL.

Insane refresh pull

I agree absolutely.
