How some people are fit (without 'trying')

[HybridCalisthenics]

How do some people stay fit (seemingly without effort)?

More importantly, is there anything we can learn from this that benefits us?

I talk about the role of genetics, lifestyle, and exercise intensity!

We all have talents and we can learn to leverage them to our benefit. When someone is talented and works hard, we can be inspired by what they've accomplished - especially when it pushes the boundaries of what we thought was possible! I believe that people questioned the possibility of a 400lb bench press in the early 20th century. Then a 500lb one. Nowadays, it seems like many fit people can do them with training (though they're still very impressive).

Lifestyle also plays a massive role in our fitness. Not everyone wants to optimize their eating and sleep patterns, but they definitely help for many fitness goals. Just something to consider.

And finally, some people just have an optimized and consistent exercise routine. You don't always hear about them in the gym, but they get their workouts completed in 20-30 intense minutes. This is enough to make consistent progress for many people! The previous two factors also play a role here.

There are many other factors, but these come to mind when people ask me about this.

Free fitness routine, free fitness app, and a full fitness book linked on my profile.

Or you can just search "Hybrid Calisthenics" + Routine, App, or Book. Most of the stuff pops up on Google.

Have a wonderful day!

Climbing over the railing at the beginning and climbing back at the end makes it feel like he's some kind of cryptid that came out of the woods to give you advice

I’m physically disabled and exercise being actively miserable is a listed symptom of my disability. Your patience and positivity as you talk about exercise in an enthusiastically nonjudgemental really helps me tackle my own negative feelings about exercise. Thank you!

"Before people worked out, they worked." 👌🧐

"Before people worked out, they worked." That's one of the smartest things I've ever heard anybody say. RESPECT TO YOU.

This video makes me feel like you’re climbing over my balcony and breaking into my home to give me fitness advice and I appreciate it.

Farm strength is real and no joke. I knew a guy who was extremely short, hovering around 5 feet tall. Dude could carry a 300lb steel plate up a set of stairs unassisted (I tried to help him with it but slowed him down)

"Before people worked out, they worked". So true, man. I see and feel more results doing actual work that compared to working out and you accomplish two things at once!

Remembered a heated discussion in some body building forum in random talk section how I actually felt great when I dug out a hole and planted a tree - the workout was great, I was outside and it was satisfying - I remember someone saying “like anyone ever got swole by digging” .. oh my..
Just do anything to move about and feels nice, nothing is better or worse as long as you don’t break yourself..

i used to get forced into a lot of athletic activity when i was younger and i hated it. i thought all that stuff wasn’t for me… but it turns out it’s great, when you actually want to do something, you enjoy it much more 😂 i’ve been going to the gym at least once a week now for two months and i’m going to try and go on one hike every week this season! i’m already seeing tons of improvement in myself and how i feel. 😊

I used to be just skinnyfat, I worked in an office and didn't do any workouts at all but ate well. Now I am rather muscular and eat like shit most days, but work in a factory carrying and building things with steel. Truly before people worked out, they just worked.

I feel so encouraged and inspired to move after I see your videos. Not stressing about doing it perfectly, just keen to start moving. Thank you for what you do.

Are you a positive person?

Thank you for reminding us that life well lived will keep you fit, feeling well and staying-being positive/motivated.

Seconds after you mentioned the one leg squat i thought "oh I've never tried it before let's give it a go", rn I'm on the ground cuz i got a cramp from this hahaha, jokes aside thank you for the motivation you give everyday !

[stephenrasmusson]

Love you, my guy. The combination of demystifying fitness and completely pleasant demeanor make it an accessible and, yes, even enjoyable part of one’s daily life. Keep making this content.

[Shawaazu]

I will never get over how strong yet humble this man is. It’s truly inspiring. 😊

[preciousypenguino]

This dude just radiates kind, positive vibes. It actually motivated me to stretch and do 3 min plank. Baby steps.😊

crawling from behind the railing and going back, Hampton's having a bit too much fun making these 😹
