At 61 here's mine but first hear my story. 5'6" tall 191 pounds on 7 medications, 4 prescription for high blood pressure, asthma, triglycerides, arthritis and severe acid indigestion daily. I was informed my job of 35 years of "outstanding" performance evaluations was firing me for my refusal to take an experimental flu shot. Filed religious and medical exemptions for 8 months to no avail until they dropped the mandate. August 5, 2021 was the day hate took over my body. Hate because of what they were doing to me, hate because I was singled out (with 2 other employees) as unvaccinated therefore I was banned from driving official vehicles and made to wear a mask full time while others roamed freely. I was a leper. I decided to show those SOB's what good health looked like so I changed my diet, dropped all sugar and started exercising and lifting weights. I lost 52 pounds, off all medications and transformed from the Pillsbury Doughboy to a Greek God and never felt better. Understand I'm short, bald and I'm ugly so no man would want to be me and certainly no woman. I'm now at 2 years 3 months and have only missed 2 workout days since. I wear my body armor when exercising because it adds 21 pounds to me and do all of my pushups and setups wearing it. My workouts are 1 & 1/2 hours long every other day. I don't need to tell you how good you feel after a workout. I put the Airpods in my ears listen to Tool or some other heavy rock music and go to my daughters old bedroom that I converted into my exercise room. Like you age is no barrier.

For sure, heck even if your in shape a nice long walk is great for the mind and soul especially if your in nature

To anyone struggling with pushups or pullups pay attention: For pullups, do the eccentric part of the exercise. Get yourself up on a box with your chin above the bar, then unweight your feet and slowly lower yourself over a period of say 5 seconds. Then push yourself up with your feet only, and repeat. You'll get strong very quickly. Same with pushups. Slowly lower yourself over a period of 5 seconds then completely on the ground use your knees to get yourself into the plank position and repeat. Next step for pushups would be on your knees, followed by the real deal. You've got this!

How many sets i need do per exercises sr?

1) Pull-ups -- most important; hugely relevant to survival; hits a lot of major muscle groups. Frequency -- at least 30 pull-ups, 3 times, per week (3x is a minimum, or not a lot of improvement will be observed). Chin needs to go over the bar for the pull-up to count. Dead Hang helps build more strength (yes, it is harder). 2) Push-up -- functional movement; related to survival; hits a lot of major muscle groups. Frequency -- every single day; minimum of 50 per day; it is very easy to lose the gains that you make with these. Switch up the push-up variations as much as possible (throughout the day and workout). 3) Sit-up -- core strength is hugely important; need something to specifically target your core. Frequency -- same as pull-ups, about 3x per week; do more sit-ups per session than the other exercises that you do (b/c they are easier to do). (Arms crossed on your chest, and tap your elbows on your knees when you come up). 4) Burpee -- increases in heart rate and breathing; full-body exercise. Frequency -- minimum of once a week, and 100 burpees per week; you can also split this up into 2 sets of 50 reps. 5) Squat -- legs/lower body focus; recommends using weight (dumbbell/kettlebell/etc.) with it. Frequency -- 3 times per week, 30-50 reps per session (split up into sets if necessary). Make sure to switch up the form of the squat and all others mentioned to ensure that your body does not get too used to one form of the exercise. *Cardio -- run, biking, etc. (not mentioned as part of the list, but brought up at least twice over the course of the video). **Make sure to consume protein within an hour of your workout to ensure that muscles have something to rebuild with. This will maximize your gains and the benefits of the exercises just discussed.

I'm 71 and I work out everyday! I do at least an hour of aerobics with an average of 135 -145 heartbeat and I get upwards of 165 - 170 with my HIIT programs. I also do strength training at least 2 days a week because keeping muscle at my age is so important. I also run on the woods trails. I try to do that a couple days a week, weather (and hunting season) permitting and I do at least 4-5 miles. Sometimes I'll run 13 minute miles and sometimes I'll slow it down to 17 or 18 and go longer - maybe 6-8 miles. I have osteoarthritis and have had both knees and 1 hip replaced so it's important for me to keep moving all the time -otherwise I'm stiff...

Just did 100 burpees today. Yesterday 30 pull-ups because of this video. Stay strong!

I’m almost 63 and have been working out religiously since the 7th grade. There was only maybe, 1 or 2 years in my 20’s that I didn’t. However I started noticing my health deteriorating so I thought, forget this and began again, never stopping. I tried that push up routine yesterday 12/25/23 and it felt amazing! I haven’t done pushups in many years because it has been less stress on my back doing just bench presses! Chadd, your suggestion of doing 5 push ups, rest 1 minute then do 5 more push ups, for a total of 10 sets will be added to my workout routine! Thank you! God Bless!

The stacks of meat are gym princesses, dependent on ideal conditions at all times, with inferior stamina anyway.

Damn good experienced training. Former 82nd ABN Sapper, now in my 50s with joint pain, I do resistance bands in my public safety career but try to ex the same muscle groups that you demonstrated.... the key beyond all else is consistency. There is no "diet" or gym that leads to a full, healthy life. It's all on you!

Very good. Dad was career AF and received an ultimatum from his unit C.O. "Lose weight or lose your commission. He did the Canadian AF 5BX program religiously. Got the weight off and retired Full Bird Colonel. His advice: do SOME physical activity EVERY DAY. He's long gone, I'm in my 80's and the one hard lesson I have to live with: it's EVERY DAY now for sure. My body desperately wants to deteriorate and will, if I take a day or two off. I do some at the gym, some at home, but something every day.

At 62 the doc diagnosed me with diabetes as I had two consecutive A1C’s of over 7. He was going to just prescribe me the Metformin, but then asked me what my exercise routine was. I told him 30 minutes twice a week and walking 9 holes of golf once a week. He said that was not working, and recommended walking 10,000 steps a day. He would forgo the prescription if in 3 months I could get my A1C down. It worked. I also changed my diet but not hugely; basically no more high surgery foods, less carbs, more fiber. I’ve been on that program for almost 4 years, lost over 50 pounds, and eventually got back to doing pushups, sit-ups, weighted leg excercises, and a modified pull-up. I put two by large hooks on the inside frame of my closet about 3/4 way up, and then put a pull up bar there. I do 35 of those 5 days a week. Since I had a knee replacement Running and squats are out, but this modified pull up seems to help quite a bit with the thighs too, although most of the burn is still in the biceps and forearm. Doing that I am also slowly getting to where I can do regular pull ups too, but not even close to 35. I can fit into the Army uniform I wore 35 years ago… check out my latest video!

Thanks my man, I’ve always enjoyed the simplicity of body weight exercises. Great video! Have a Blessed day everyone.

One of my toughest workouts is bodyweight - called "500" - must finish each exercise before moving onto the next - track your progress by time to complete: #1. 100 each of Pulls Ups (usually sets); #2 100 dips; #3 100 sit ups and/or mix with hanging knee lifts; #4 Pushups - (ok to vary incline, decline, flat); #5 body weight squats

With both biceps torn, the first while on active duty, pullups are a no go for me. Free weights with low weight and high reps are in my program. I got six screws in my back and a total knee replacement courtesy of Uncle Sugar. I turn 65 next month and still walk 3 miles every other day.

LOL To all those of you out there who were perhaps never active in sports or weight training, the biggest key is pushing yourself just beyond (muscle) exhaustion.

Be smart, train hard, get stronger.

Good day! Thank you for the great video! I really like these exercises. They are the basis. The essentials that you need. I personally have been doing 50 pull-ups, 3 sets of leg raises hanging on the pull-up bar (30-35 reps for each set) for 7 years. Also I usually add dips (3 sets of 20 reps) around two times a week. Sometimes I run 3 km. This routine serves me really well. I don`t need any other exercises. I feel strength, agility and endurance. What`s more they are all natural, so thel help me to be healthy.

The foot is one of the most complex parts of the body. It consists of 28 bones connected by many joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The foot is prone to many types of injuries.

I do a full body stretch everyday also with my workout program.I have found it reduce a lot of my joint pain when I first started working out and makes a big difference for me to get around a lot easier at work. My job involves a lot of lifting. I am a bagger and get the carts from the parking lot in a grocery store. Those bags get heavy after 8-9 hours.

My current workout-routine (every other day like 2-3 times per week): starts of with - 10 min Cardio - 3 x 4 Weighted Pull ups with a total weight of 250 lbs (220 bodyweight + extra 30 lbs) - 3 x 10 weighted push ups with an 45 lbs weighted vest - 3 x 10 bodyweight dips - 3 x 10 decline push ups on rotatable push up bars - 3 x 15 hammer curls + 3 x 4 rubberband assisted pull ups - 3 x 15 hyperextensions - 3 x 15 weighted leg raise or 3 x 6-15 weighted sit-ups - 3 x 15 weighted vest goblet squats took me arround 1.5-2h

Love it. After talking with physicians that care for my elderly relatives, I'd add the deadlift in there. I deadlift with kettlebells. Also a personal trainer taught me to come 80% up on deadlifts (when using KB's), not all the way into a resting position. It definitely makes the deadlift a little more challenging, for me.

Walking is the king of exercise. This is what our body was designed for. Push ups, burpees, squats, lunges etc are just secondary exercices to walking. The biggest muscles you have in your body from legs to back are made to allow you to walk standing up and accessorily they can be used to do other tasks. Walking is underrated and it's free.

This is great advice! Simple and no money needed just discipline 💪🤠

I have a hell of a schedule and a family to keep up with.. I have been getting back into a regimen again.. intend to reach 200lbs again. I was always strong at 200 lbs. I’ve prepared for many years I just got to get myself back into the proper physical condition again.. even being overweight I am still strong as hell and out work guys who are in much better shape weight wise..

6:22 haha I’m 48 years old. 506/165lbs, low body fat/ moderate muscle. My fitness level rivals that of the average human. 90% of my training is high rep body weight and weighted calisthenics. My go-to movements are: 1. Burpees (single and multi pump) 2. Pull ups 3. Muscle ups 4. Squats 5. Lunges 6. Box step ups/ overs 7. Navy Seals 8. Push ups Twice a week I train compound weight training movements. I confess I don’t target any specific ab movements; my diet and training seems to keep me with decent visible abs. For weighted calisthenics I use a 30lb Goruck plate carrier, a 5.11 20lb Tactec plate carrier and a 30lb slamball. Of all of my calisthenic movements, the single pump burpee rep after rep after rep keeps me in the best conditioning. Thank you for a great video. God Speed sir 🙏🏽🇺🇸.

OLD and FAT but finding my inner MARINE as a combat veteran and former Patrol City and County Cop. Lost 100 pounds after two heart attacks in 2021 went from 344 to 244 lbs . Now I'm maintaining a fit approximately 272lbs . My work-out three times a week. Cardio machines for combined 34 minutes varies from Stairmaster to two different types of Ellipticals THEN HIIT workout with STRENGTH combined as well. i have 3 different walking routes in my Neighborhood for walks with the dog rated from hard to harder to hardest both in distance and in hills having to navigate. I will walk those routes on the non-gym days and sometimes both week-end days early with the Rooster AM's on all activity so I don't allow myself not to do the work. Learned that in the Corps and has always stuck with me. KNOCK IT OUT FIRST THING before your mind even works so it gets done and you don't have to think about it at all. Also if I don't feel like going to the Gym, I'll do a litany of HIIT in my mancave which includes Burst Run In place for thirty seconds to Flutter Kicks Planked out Push-ups and Plank holds in Push-up Positions to "Look Goods" which are basic reverse bends and thrust using a chair or tall block or table. I also use the BATTLE ROPES at the gym which are freakin awesome, also for thirty seconds hard and fast as I can. The burst type HIIT training I maintain doing also THREE TIMES A WEEK ONLY. Unfortunately I can not do a bunch of full pushups due to my OPEN HEART SURGERY sensitivity but I do planks instead. ALSO whenever I do the bust hit stuff like running in place hard and fast as i can or flutter kicks I always make sure I'm on a soft thick floor matt or in the soft grass on a hill-side for extra difficulty.

I used to be a big believer in this, I would do hundreds and hundreds of push-ups and pull ups a week, and it led to a lot of chronic pain and injuries. The same way running 25-50 miles a week is hard on your joints. Switch things up as much as possible guys.

I agree about the strength training, but not the running. If running is beating you up then you don't have a good maintenance routine. But with strength work you can keep your reps relatively high, without the tendonitis, by periodizing high rep cycles with heavy strength cycles.

At 66 years-old I benched three times 225lbs a couple of weeks ago. I can get in 8-10 pull ups but they are tough. Tears my right shoulder up. Don't know how to avoid that.

I’m assuming bad technique or trying to do too much weight. But you seem to be convinced they are bad so I’ll just keep doing them and continue getting great results. Opinions vary

hell yeah good video and great 1st Phorm all day baby!!!

Good Stuff. Thanks for sharing. Love the channel.

If you go to a gym they have machines that help doing pull ups

It all made sense to me. Use that body, it's an incredible machine..... which most Americans take worse care of than their car. This body is meant to MOVE. I spent three years in a nursing home due to a shooting and it completely changed my perspective. You don't know what you've got til it's gone. Don't take it for granted y'all, all of these exercises he just showed, should be done everyday, just so you know you're alive.

Solid advice I really needed at this time in my life , thank you very much for inspiring my new attempt at regaining my physical fitness and improving my health .

Good luck - you can do it

Great video, solid exercises. The only one I don't like is the situp, it works my hip flexors more than anything, and it's tough on those with sore backs. So many great exercises for the core other than sit up. For example, with the kettlebell, as you are squating, the further you hold it out from your body, you will feel it, if you don't, add more weight. Another great one, 1 arm farmer carry's, just a couple that work great for me. Thanks for the video Chadd!

Chad, really appreciate the videos, your boldness for Christ, and also the recent documentaries. But I gotta know how do you not have, or avoid runners knee. Very tough battle for me. Any advice??? Thanks man

Yeah, running kills my knees. I ruck instead. Feels great.

I do most of these exercises, but in the "tabata" time format. Each exercise is 20 seconds max effort, 10 seconds rest. Jump squats, lunges, burpees, pushups. Repeat. Can be the longest 4 minutes of your life if you're doing max effort. Strongly develops both aerobic and anaerobic capacity.

Thanks.great video.

I want my 19-year-old self's abs back. 😅

Thank you for your service bud!

This is a very simple approach and one that we should (guys especially) all follow. There are many different approaches to training, but this is straight forward and one that can be followed all the time. Thank you for this advice.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in prison, I can tell you that Chad’s recommendations are spot on!

Stay realistic about pullups. Most U.S. teenagers cannot complete a single pullup. Jump up using a stepstool and keep your chin above the bar as long as you can, and lower yourself down gently. These are called "negatives". You will get stronger.
