make life easier (3 exercises)

[HybridCalisthenics]

Here are some exercises that (unexpectedly) made my life easier!

"Hybrid Fitness Routine" is free on my website and linked on my profile if you're looking for one. No login needed, so feel free to just check it out!

I tried to pick exercises in this video that weren't the obvious ones, like bar hanging etc. I also didn't mention ones that reduced pain, since I feel like that's a slightly different topic.

Straight arm lifting helped more things feel lighter, especially during manual labor. While the same muscles are worked during things like pushups, pullups, handstand pushups, etc, it just made a huge different even with a small amount of weight.

The "curl position" is underrated for daily functionality, in my opinion. I got into fitness with calisthenics, so I never paid much attention to curls until I started doing isometrics. While curls are usually meant to grow the bicep, I've found it to be very handy for carrying things as well.

Lastly, I've been doing more physical labor recently and it often involves squatting down in "unusual" ways. While we don't NEED this, it's convenient when I'm in a hurry. The alternative would be to move one thing at a time, etc. However, if you're new to this, I recommend getting comfortable with multiple full, deep, bodyweight squats first if you haven't done so already!

That's what I have for now. Have a wonderful day!

I tell people "I just want to work out so I can make my body do what I want." Turns out I just want the Hampton-type fitness. Thank you for being my goal 🙌

As a gardener, these tips are very useful. The weird positions I have to hold at times, lifting something while avoiding sensitive plants

I love how he’s outside incorporating things from life and nature too! 💪

God bless! 😇

Balancing on a rounded object, in flip flops, while carrying something one handed to throw off your center of gravity… That was a hard flex sir, and I tip my hat to you.

If it gives me an overwhelmingly, strong and positive attitude like yours, then that's all I need to hear. I'm taking up body building.

[lilballerina]

Your vibe and disposition make me very happy. You seem like a cheerful person and there’s something comforting about you.

This made my day infinitely better. Your positive approach to fitness made me feel so much better about my body and made me excited to work out. It’s nice hearing about working out being a neutral and helpful thing not something to shape and sculpt the body. Especially since I struggle with body image issues and an eating disorder.

Why does his voice just make me happy?😄

[saguablub]

Great examples for functionality of common experience as well as variations that just make sense in real life 🙌 absolutely love this!

[eatwhatukiii]

Very true! These odd exercises seem to have no use until you realize these are movements you actually USE, all day long. You might not be lifting a log, but you might be lifting a heavy toddler, and exercising those muscles will make these things easier😊

[axel.]

I love how positive and kind you are, makes me feel a bit better every time I watch one of your videos 😌

[alexanderpreble]

It’s so nice to see him put on muscle as a purely functional need

[josephwhigham]
