A unique perspective...I can do all that & STILL lift weights to look the way I want to look. That is what is fun TO ME.

I learnt this mindset from my Tai Chi teacher! 👏🏻 And i regained my joy of life.

This is one of the greatest videos for growth, fitness, sports and health I've seen in a long time. After years of training in gymnastics and now in working as a psychologist in sports, this is what the core message for training and competing should be. Without fear and expectations. Loving the process, adapting and development. No maniacs only looking for success and goals in the future to get acknowledgement and to prove themselves. Instead enjoying the journey, setting personal skill-oriented goals and improving yourself because you love yourself, others and nature. It brings movement and spirituality together. Totally inspiring, I love it.
So thank you❤❤❤

100% agree. Salience = if it is important to you, your body will adapt to it (and progress) faster!

I do a lot of crossfit and some calisthenics on the side. I've been feeling that the FUN of doing it all is missing. I've been trying to explain to my fellow crossfit gym buddies that what i'm seeking is a gym at which to actually hang-out, particularly on a Friday night. I want to go in, have some social time, we all work on moves and have some fun with it all. Most of the time I feel that we all go in for an organized class and then all go home. The goal is to complete the session as quickly as possible and say that we did it to make ourselves feel better. But I really just want to go in and crawl, flip, jump over stuff and have a good social time. I did some parkour for a while and found that the parkour community had more of this fun vibe to it and everyone would hang-out. We'd do it for hours. Instead of going to a bar on a Friday night, I want to have fun in a gym doing interesting things which I don't normally do. I have 24-hour access at my Crossfit gym, usually i'm the ONLY person in there on a weekend night if I do go. This video expresses exactly how i've been feeling and what i'm trying to express to others around me.

I ended my gym membership. Decided to be honest with myself and accept that I’m not having fun at the gym especially lifting weights and it’s just putting stress on my body. I’d rather climb a wall, swim and roller/ice skate. Also working at a restaurant I’m already physically active. Makes no sense adding more stress and I’m somewhat in pretty good shape now what I’m doing.

I do miss having a third place to go to with people with the same or similar life style goals.

As to cope up with starting depression i had back then in 2022 i started kickboxing last year and yoga too i started realising i found solace in such activities which i like - kettlebell workouts, mobility stretching workouts though i do weight training twice a week but i dont push myself it’s like something i like, not just because i want to achieve something from that or ego lifting… blatantly i like activities which you have incorporated in your training sessions . May be i am yet not aware of so many terms relating to fitness world not abashed on this, as a normal person seeking health mind and body i love to see your videos

[sixstringsoneway]

Great advice, Lee, I subscribed to your channel. Same principals I teach in my music lesson program. Having fun is the secret to playing guitar!!!

[stephenromey]

Hmmm.... I am 66, love working out, it makes me feel better, and yes, I can sustain it. Oh, I do need to be mindful of recovery between workouts. Lee's methods are very sound, but can be combined with more traditional kettlebell, dumbbell sort of workouts. There's no 'either or' - just like diets.

[bigslacker]

Awesome message! I'm gonna turn 50 this year and I hike nearly every day, ski and snowboard 3+ time a week winter, rock climb, mountain bike, dirt jump, paddleboard in summer. You don't stop playing when you get older, you get older when you stop playing!

PS-I also truly enjoy lifting weights. ;)

[rodrigo_panteon]

Thank you so much for staying true. I needed a reality check like this. I started working out with the mindset I want to be a ninja and now I was stuck in the I'm aa beast.

[zcardman]

LOVE your "designed" perspective.

[asdfasdfasdfasdf]

Love these takes. Please, seminars East Coast. Thanks!

Medical Doctor Peter Attia, a longevity specialist lectures on Vo2 max being an indicator of overall health. He also lectures on how one should be able to hang from a bar for a minute with each arm.

Back to Vo2 max training. Doctors Attia says zone 2 cardio, so cardio in the 60 to 80% range is your best training tool because it minimizes lactic acid buildup which we all know causes the muscle soreness which is one of the reasons people don't like to exercise.

Pavel Tsatsouline, the kettlebell guy has a great book called the AXE method, another guy who says you want to avoid high intensity exercise because of lactic acid buildup.

Can relate to this exact way of training from doing calisthenics and street workout, my workouts would be around 4-7 hrs and most of the time is just me and my friends messing around trying stuff and just generally having fun. Our freestyle tricks would progress exponentially quicker than people who train it in a more serious manner, it's like because we're having fun and not 'grinding' the moves, we're more willing to try new stuff, thus landing tricks a lot quicker and consistent. (or rather, we're more open and accepting of doing the movements instead of being afraid of falling)

[kristyboxx]

Hey I like this perspective about working out. And it truly makes me happy that I ws always leaning more towards having fun with the movement than overachieving and doing crazy amounts of workouts.

[kobalt]

Absolutely wonderful presentation, well done and thank you very much !!

I blame bodybuilding for the problems we see in the fitness industry. As long as long as you incorporate, push, pull, hinge, squat, lunge, and rotation exercises into your training, that's all you need

[jonw.]

It all depends on what you're going for. Bodybuilding for example means using isolation exercises for each muscle. A bodybuilder could care less about doing flips, he just wants to get bigger. Football players need pushing power with their legs to push 330 pound linemen out of the way. If you want to do the flips and handstands then of course this is correct but it all depends what you're working to accomplish.

I'm a carpenter, staying fit becomes more of a sustainable diet situation for me. on our crew we all move around a fair bit, but you can still out-eat that movement if you choose to, to a degree.
