Training for Health, Longevity and General Fitness

In this video, I discuss exercise selection considerations for health, general fitness, and longevity.

Consideration #1- select exercises that encourage relative strength, as these will promote healthy body composition.

Consideration #2- select exercises that have a conditioning component and promote good work capacity and general fitness.

Consideration #3- select exercises that carry a low injury risk.

Consideration #4- select exercises that move your body through space, build good balance, and develop body awareness.

Consideration #5- select exercises that can be performed outdoors (at least some of the time).

This is the answer. 80 years old and do different parts of this on a daily basis. Walk with my dogs everyday. Thank you for the video. You should have more likes.

This video speaks to me! As a working dad with two young kids, my goals have changed considerably. I want to be medium-strong, have a good ticker, and reduce risk for pain and disease so I can be with my family a long time. Thanks for these considerations for a long term sustainable program!

You are correct. When you get older, the body remembers all your injuries .

[roejogan]

This channel is the manifestation of my thinking, I think you are the only guy on YouTube who is showing the raw and real reason of calisthenics supremacy and why some people really prefer this shit

[sstein]

This is what confidence is really about. Here's someone that looks amazing for his natural build and doesn't obsess about getting bigger than others

This is exactly what I have been shooting for. I am 80 years old and I do body weight exercises 6 days a week for years now and loving it

Youtube thankfully keeps populating my page with K boges videos. I'm yet to see one I didn't like. This however is the best of all his that I've seen so far. I rarely comment on youtube videos but the majority of my comments are on this gentleman's clips. If everyone that just wants to get fit, stay fit and injury free and see just how much more you enjoy life with a healthy body as you age watch this video they would get all the info they need. Honestly, if I hadn't been training this way already for years, or I didn't know how to go about getting started, I'd be getting this guy's courses. This is exemplary fitness advice. I so hope he is being rewarded for these excellent clips. This is great stuff, deserves likes and shares. Such a great antidote to the unachievable nonsense peddled by too many chemically enhanced influencers or those that try to stand out with ridiculous exercises and regimes that most people don't need and will never achieve. In almost all areas of life you get more by doing the core competencies and doing them really well and consistently. Fitness and health are the same. More power to this guy.

stating your goals at the beginning makes your channel immediately stand out among others, very cool

Every time i watch this video I hit the floor and do 20. This 20 was the 220nd in a GTG fashion so far today! Thanks for the inspiration

This post and all of your videos are right on target.In 2020 when Covid began I switched from primarily lifting weights to lifting my body.I began working out outside at the calesthenics park in all weather except rain.I focused on compound Traditional movements and Isometric holds.I was 58 years old.Today I am 60 and loving the calesthenics challenge.I lost a lot of body fat, I became learner, more defined, stronger, and denser.I am still learning various pushup and pullup exercizes.I want to learn some advanced skills later but I wish I had done more bodyweight training earlier on..All your advice is so true.Thank you so much!

[michaelekwulugo]

Absolutely first-class advice! Thank you 🙏🏾

[OutPushing]

Great advice. Fight for your health and wellbeing people. We only ever get one body.

[robertwilliams]

Just discovered your channel. Thank you for the video and the information.

This one really spoke to me . At 54, general overall fitness and good health and well-being are more important to me than some other fitness-related goals.

Thank you for sharing

New sub here. Age 67. Just what I need. Great content. Truth! Respect!💪🙏

[Dakota-czod]

Your channel is awesome man, excellent stuff. Love the fact that you're promoting health and longevity equally if not more than just looking buff and being strong.

[GalickGun]

I relate to this approach because I really don't see myself going to the gym forever. It's just not enjoyable to me. I find it calisthenics and some of the equipment you usually use for it is much more accessible and honestly just more fun.
It's easier for me to be consistent when doing calisthenics, and that's really most of the battle.

[jiji]

love your down-to earth approach Kyle: no flashy graphics, no muzak competing with your voice-over, and the focus on your message, not you as entertainer. can't watch the vast majority of channels (on any subject-matter) due to the 'noise', so this is really good!


thanks, and best wishes to

He said "fight"
