You Can And SHOULD Train Every Day!

In this video, I argue that you can and SHOULD "train" every single day.

While I do believe in recovery and think it's crucial to take time off between max effort lifts, I also don't think that should mean being completely sedentary and not doing anything that could be considered exercise.

Training can mean throwing a ball against a wall, practicing a skill, going for a walk, or playing team sports with friends. This can actually HELP with your recovery, and it will prevent many of the negative effects of being entirely static.

Let me know what you think in the comments below. Do you think it's okay to train every day?

Thanks gang!

"Train every day" has always been my motto.
I'm a train driver.

I’ve heard one author say that everyone needs an athletic identity. Too many high school athletes lose it after high school, and too many that didn’t do sports in high school have never sought an athletic identity. We need to reintroduce play back into our lives.

Don't live to work out, work out to live. Such a simple but crucial health and life improving concept. I agree with you and as well thought, that making my training into everyday activity, would be alot more healthier and beneficial for a physical condition and efficient results, what i missed is that, it's better be lighter and quicker sessions, without too much excessive efforts in it, so this is what i'm gonna try, from now on. Thank you for your mental and physical efforts. I'm always impressed and inspired by them. Keep it up and never give up.

I remember as a child of the 80's we basically exercised every single day due to all the physical things we did such as biking, running, jump roping, sports, monkey bars, scooters, roller skates, hiding, digging dirt, skateboards, water gun fights, swings, slides, hide and seek, manhunt, freeze tag, rope climbing, play fight, going on wild adventures, etc., we did alot and never thought about it, we used to knockout every physical activity in school when they ran us through the tests, so yeah this makes total sense

For years I was recommended to rest against my (chronic) pain, so whenever I *had* to move, it was a terrible spike in my pain and took weeks to recover from. It was impossible to enjoy life like that, or sustain it financially in a way I could do anything more than survive.

Nowadays I'm on my feet for work, also do strength-training 6-10h a week, get 10k+ steps a day and cycle where-ever I go. My pain is a little higher overall, but it's extremely consistent; there's little difference between start of a shift, to the end of it, even ones longer than 12 hours. I can genuinely enjoy life now, financially sustain it and just feel like a bad-ass after so many years being stuck to the bed.

Ever since I've been watching your stuff my workout philosophy changed. My ideal rest day no longer consists of watching Netflix all day and eating anything I want to, I'll do yoga, tai chi, dance, jumprope, whatever I can do to train without big risks.

5:44 In my old muay thai training we had an 80 year old bloke called Dennis who went sailing for a good few hours immediately before the session, then did the full 2 hour muay thai session start to finish, then played badminton for 2 and a half hours immediately after. He may not have been able to get his hip turned fully over for his roundhouses, but at 80 he still gave all but the most physically fit a run for their money on the pads and getting into the clinch with him was like trying to wrestle an oak. I see 30 year olds in worse shape. He had a PHD and a wicked gold tooth aswell. The man was a legend, and if I can be even remotely similar to him at that age I will be very satisfied.

I totally agree with this philosophy towards fitness. I am now 48 years old and have been doing this for 30 years. I have a physical job and also I train 5 days a week with body weight training and stretch every day and also the other 2 days a week are what I call active rest days where I take the dog for a 30 minute walk and also stretch. I haven’t slowed down yet and don’t plan on it in the near future.
And I still have six pack abs at 48.
Don’t stop! Use it or lose it👍

I'm a retired vet. Just turned 50.
Initially I went full lazy/sedentary mode when I first retired from the military about 5 years ago...and I PAID for it with pain, loss of balance, fatigue, lethargy...all within 6 months of retiring. My first thought was "crap I'm getting old". Then I started basic bodyweight strength training (light push-ups, crunches, squats). added cardio after a couple of weeks (never more than 15 mins bc I am getting older).
I saw immediate results.
That was 4 years ago. I'm active and exercise DAILY, though a "work out" only happens 2 maybe 3 times a week. I can say I've felt better (like when I was 26) but I still feel good. I can keep up and often outperform people decades younger than myself due to steady-state exercise.
Though I'm not an "athlete" I feel like at this pace I should live a good long while.
"Don't live to work out...work out to live" I smiled when he said it because I literally do exactly that! Retirement sukks when you're dead.
EDIT: My nephew calls it "old man strength" lol

Great points made here! No matter what a person’s training program looks like, having a varied approach with different training modalities implemented works very well. I also believe including some form of physical activity on days off from the gym is important, even if it’s just going for a brisk long walk, getting up from your desk for a short 1/4 mile walk every hour, or going for a swim or bike ride.

Also loved that quote at 7:10 “Don’t live to workout…Workout to live!” Spot on messaging Adam 💪

I must say, I am so glad I found your channel.
I have started to follow your advice as stated in your SuperFunctional book and I am noticing increased energy, focus, mood, memory, etc.

It is as if all my D&D stats were increased by 1 in just the month I have been doing this training.

Thank you for your valuable Content @The Bioneer.

[gingahagane]

Dude, you popped out of nowhere to my feed a few weeks ago and now you've become one of my favorite fitness youtuber. Your video style and different takes on fitness is just refreshing and I love listening to you.

[youknowthis]

Yep on board with this totally. Movement in general helped me lose weight. Yes I made gains and definition too as I weight trained but i lost weight by moving and watching my calorie intake. No I don’t train heavy every day and yes I have more to lose but not a day goes by now when I’m not doing something for 30 minutes in a day at least. Yoga on a rest day is brilliant for stretching out but building strength too.

[OliverJShannon]

I've found your channel at the perfect time in my fitness journey after spraining my ankle and not wanting to do anything and use it as an excuse to not exercise. I thought how this is a perfect time to work on eye hand coordination by bouncing a tennis ball off a nearby wall.

You've helped me see training in a much broader perspective and having a variety of exercises is what I was missing and why I got bored previously! Thanks for all the content and helping people like me!

[danrichard]

Wow changing my whole look out on training. Thank you for your time. Awesome job

[FierySpiritMaury]

I train everyday. The most important thing is to listen to your body. Most people who workout especially beginners don’t listen to their body and don’t train with moderation. If you’re in pain or sore obviously let those muscles recover and work on something that is fresh and ready to go.

Training can be light, moderate or intense all that matters is going ar your own pace and growing each and every day.

I really love your videos man you’re awesome and I like that you trust yourself instead of what people tell you, you should do with your body.

The conventional way isn’t ideal if you’re trying to be fit or reach your fitness goals you gotta think outside of the box and trust yourself

I actually told a lady friend at work work about active rest days just last week. She was doing yoga aswell as weightlifting 5 days a week. We work at a steel mill and work 11 hour shifts 4-5 days a week. She said she was getting burnt out the job combined with the gym and yoga, that Monday was the hardest day after resting two consecutive days with little activity. I told her how I've been working out(with weights) every other day and on my "off days" I do mobility/yoga excercises. Anyways she feels alot better now. I told her how bed rest can inevitably be terrible for you and you might not be hurting while you are in that bed but once you get out of it come Monday you going to be all twisted up and muscles don't fire quite right. Great video man.

im 40 years old and bought his book a year ago, started bjj 11 month ago as a white bwlt and gettijg ready to get my blue belt next months... im 40 years old and in better shape mentally and physically than most guys at the gym. thank you so much... i work as carpenter and pool builder btw, pour concrete too.. I eat less, weigh less but im stronger, less fatigue, super sharp mentally and don't have a bad back anymore. completely transformed!!

[fufumccuddlypoops]

I tired training every day and got tendinitis. After that I thought training everyday was terrible until I realized I was doing it wrong.
Now instead of focusing strength every day, I have flexibility training days, more cardio days, coordination, and balance. I’m happier and healthier now

It took me a good 6 months to go fom 120kg chubby to 95kg. And after the 25k milestone it dawned on me that my exercise, training and diet wasn't those three seperate things, they are a lifestyle, something i will keep at and develope over the course of my life going forward. Your videos have inspired me immensely and given me many many fantastic ways to apply exercise to everyday life. It is paramaount for people like me who manage a store or people who does much office work. Just the squatting and a few push ups behind the counter and my energy goes way back up! Thanks for being here and preaching about the lifestyle and hobby that is fitness.
