Winning The Mental Battle of Physical Fitness and Obesity | Ogie Shaw | TEDxSpokane
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Physical Fitness does not have to be complicated. There are psychological aspects to staying motivated for fitness and then a few rules to adopt for success. The speaker presents his ideas on motivation, measuring your fitness level, and exercises to become fit.
Ogie Shaw is a native of Raleigh, NC. He is a veteran of the US Army and served in Vietnam. Afterwards, he graduated from UNC at Chapel Hill earning degrees in both Speech and Physical Education, later earning certification as a Health Promotion Director from the Cooper Institute® in Dallas, Texas. He served with the Portland Police Bureau and later joined a national network of medical and fitness leaders dedicated to teaching the health benefits of daily exercise. He has been an author, counselor, seminary graduate and pastor to Portland-area retirement homes. He has trained the Portland Trailblazers and Seattle Seahawks, and he has been asked to write a book on his work providing fitness training for paraplegics.
Ogie has had a passion for fitness, health, business, and music all of his life. His career goal is to establish a model for a fitness lifestyle for Americans that is sufficient to impact physical and mental health. He has given over 5000 speeches on fitness motivation.

Its kind of asinine quote being that everyone is on a "diet" A diet is just what you eat
One of my all time favorite talks. As a person who has completely changed their body, i thought I would drop tips as well. First of all, before you start exercising, slowly work yourself into an overall healthy eating pattern over the course a month first. No amount of motivation can hardly beat the chemical imbalance the average american diet imposes on us. Get your body the correct nutrition and hydration first, so then when you begin, your body can recover correctly and you wont become sick. Secondly, START SLOW. All physical changes in us, big or small, are adaptations., Your body is not adapted to working out, so you will likely injure yourself or become so sore that for the next two days you so you cant even work out if you push too hard on your initial attempt. Start with a speed walk, and do light resistant weight training. Lastly, KEEP AT IT. Like I said, its adaptation. A person who takes the first two months to adapt to working out will stay working out. You will crave the endorphins, the release of the nervous energy, and the ability to rest easier. You are always worth being healthy and being happy.

Watched this video in 2014 and thought it must be impossible to work out every single day. -Ramped up from 3 to 7 days a week and have been training every day for a year now. In case there's anyone who feels like I did, it really IS possible and it's way easier to keep it up when you do it every day. Another thing that helped me is creating a workout plan (refreshing every few months) and a workout journal. I log the date, muscle groups, exercises, weight, sets, and reps. This creates structure; I know exactly what I'm doing that day and how much weight to lift. I hope this helps someone. I believe in you!!

The points of this talk: 1. WORK OUT everyday in the morning, 20 minutes or less and work against resistance. ›identify WHAT fitness is. 2. MEASURE your fitness is a way of identifying the need is. Take it seriously. 3. REWARD phsyical fitness (the belief that exercise will have a healthy impact for your overall health) For sure, we all know that exercise will prevent us from having obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer. But one thing I know for sure is that what you put in your mouth is also as important as the amount of exercise you're doing.

Now Present I saw it now for the first time and I am definitely taking it. Already realized the parts about exercise and motivation. There is none and won’t ever be one, so do not ever rely on motivation. For anything really, because motivation is such a flimsy thing. One day you’ll be super motivated and the next not, even though nothing changed in between. Just do it. Like Mel Robbins said in one of her ted talks - “you will never feel like doing it”. She wasn’t talking about exercise specifically, but about changing your life and how a lot of people are just waiting for the motivation to do it. That moment will never come though

It's not entirely accurate or helpful and does not address the core issue of insulin resistance. Fast long and eat only meat (no plants). There's your answer.
Jordan Peterson touched on the concept of 'consistent reward', how you reward an activity effectively so you keep doing it. He stated that you don't want the reward to be too small so that it's inconsequential, but not too big so that it's unsustainable and devalues future, smaller rewards. For me, what keeps me going to the gym session after session 6 days a week is having a really good protein shake when I get home. The reward never changes; it's consistent. Seriously the reward is so important because (as Ogie stated) you're brain fights with you, but the reward serve as a negotiation tool to win it over. Hope this helps!

This is SO TRUE. He’s so so funny too! I struggled for years teaching nutrition and health to thousands of people. I wondered why people didn’t want to change, even though I shared the facts of what happens if you don’t exercise, if you smoke, if you don’t eat well. It’s psychology… you have to be ready to change. Doesn’t matter how many facts you know, if you aren’t ready for change. You make time for what you think it’s most important to you. Start slow. Stay consistent. Best of luck. 🙏🙏🙏

His message is exactly what I learned this past year doing Keto. I have done sooooooo many diets that were never sustainable because I did not enjoy the healthy foods I was asked to eat. I psychologically felt trapped and forced to eat certain foods they say would help me lose and maintain weight. But I would only lose a couple pound. Then when I did Keto with IF, I learned it was not a diet but a lifestyle change mentality that would help me loose weight. Have you ever heard most things in life are 90% mental 10% physical? This is truth! I LOVED every piece of food on Keto and felt amazing, and not once did I feel trapped. For the first time in my life, I lost 28 pound in 4 months and found a sustainable method.
Spent a summer in Slovakia with the ex Fiancé when she coached basketball players, I only saw maybe 2 players who were slightly overweight, the other girls were much healthier than kids of the same age range in the States. I'm currently living in Tenessee. It really is incredible how much of an impact culture, diet, and livelihoods impact our health and our next generations health and fitness.
I am currently 19 years old, and about a year ago I had a physical exam with my doctor, I asked her if I should be worried about my weight and her response was "oh you're too young to be worried about your weight", even though that was the most weight ive had all my life and the most unfit

Agree 100%. It transfers well to other sports as well, unlike cycling for example. Did a HIIT rowing session yesterday after a period away from the gym and DOMS is starting to creep up. Feels good.

I am not that into cardio but even I love this one. 30 mins goes by like a snap. It's one of my favourites. Plus they are rarely occupied at my gym. Bonus.

the rowing machine is limited in the simple fact that you are sitting during the exercise. Recent studies are discouraging it for people who work in offices etc and have been sitting all day

I love the rowing machine and if i could afford one in my home i would do it every day. I do my exercise bike everyday though. It's only 5 miles but that's more than a lot of people my size can do. And i am on day 220 today!!!
This guy was fantastic
I’m gonna come back to this video every so often to keep his words fresh in my mind. amazing stuff.
FINALLY, I heard someone say "Exercise EVERYDAY"‼️ I've believed that DAILY SHORT DURATION exercising is the ONLY way I could stick with it for a long time, but I've only recently put it into practice. I'm so GLAD to hear my thoughts validated - it's so encouraging, and will Inspire me to KNOW that I'm doing the Right Thing and to Keep Exercising Daily, For LIFE🎯‼️
This guy is great and deserves to be more popular. 3 simple measurements that we can all work on and maintain.
He is SO pleasant 🙂
loved this, I went to UNC Greensboro and majored in Kinesiology. Our sports psychology class has been promoting all the he says in this! Shoutout to Dr. Drollette!
I have been doing crossfit class for 6 years or so. Obviously it's fun although there is a mentality to learn in liking some pain. I think getting into a physical exercise class with community and support is key.
This is the best Ted Talk I've ever heard. Most are interesting, present a problem, then offer vague solutions or ideas. This actually gives concrete useful information. Very well done.
He spoke truth. The brain goes into fight or flight when you think to change the habit of being sedentary. Great talk!
"Enthusiastically avoiding exercise"... that resonated with me. But this talk was very helpful!
Extraordinaire! The best fitness speech in any TED! This is a real motivation. Put me in motion immediately

I trust a guy who is in great shape himself. My doctor is in terrible shape.
Workout daily✔
I can't do just 20min a day. My struggle is waking up to go to the gym but once i'm there, I'm a beast.
This is the most important TED talk.
Watched this video in 2014 and thought it must be impossible to work out every single day. -Ramped up from 3 to 7 days a week and have been training every day for a year now. In case there's anyone who feels like I did, it really IS possible and it's way easier to keep it up when you do it every day
Still one of my favorites. I love his presentation style too.
Ogie Shaw is from Raleigh, NC. Such an amazing speech. I'm from Raleigh as well.
I’m lost for words at the simplicity and logic, honesty, the warmth and humour. Thank you. 🙏👏🌟❤️
Watched it 3 times - love it !

I love this talk too, but I can't figure out why he said to test yourself by stepping up and down on a 16 1/4 inch step or stool OR to use an 8" step. Wouldn't it be far easier to use the 8" vs the 16.25" step???

because it´s individually! test / re-test with the one which is not too challanging, than test (re-test) the higher/more difficult :)
This man’s humor is on top
“Eat for nutrition; never eat for weight loss.” That phrase sums it all up!
ah another video that actually taught me something a lot of TEDxTALKS videos are normally just a bunch of people blabbing about rubbish and not educating at all but then there are people like Ogie Shaw who actually teach you something .

The funny thing is the TED talk video I watched before this was about hoarding and clutter; it literally was about rubbish!
Mr. Ogie Shaw, Sir, your talk was truly awesome. Thank you.
I start everyday with prayer and gratitude. I roll out a mat seven days a week. I do core some stretching and then push ups. They're free. They're waiting every morning. Takes about 10 minutes but it's continuous. Need it more then my coffee which I have shortly after.
THAT WAS AMAZING! Finally someone who offers facts (backed by research) on fitness and how to achieve a healthier body. Everyone needs to see this, it's so empowering. He is not vague like some of the other videos I've seen. Thank you so much.
I’m so glad I stumbled across this video. I’ve been saying this for the longest. The mental battle is sooooooo fkn hard Im gonna try and workout everyday
Honestly, I think this guy gave the best fitness related advice I've heard in a very long time. He's very understanding and realistic.
Watching 9 years later and Ogie Shaw's talk is as useful and relevant as ever. Remarkable!
This is the realest and funniest Tedx Talk I've seen to date!!!
This is definitely one of the best TedTalks. Dear Mr. Shaw, write that book and I'll be sure to buy it.
America's fitness and exercising routine is not going to be solved for 1 big reason: WE DO NOT WALK! WE HAVE TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE! I come from Europe and live in the US. When I was back home I did no care what I eat or when I eat because I did not drive and from my house to the place of work I had to walk 45- 50 min, and that at a fast pace. I could take the bus, but I had to change busses so It was better to walk. So every day I was walking 50 min to work and 50 min back, and on top of that all the walking I had to do for other errands. The lifestyle is so different in US comparing to the other parts of the world. In US we have to put time aside for exercising, while everywhere else people just exercise by doing their day to day tasks. And that is the main difference. Is not really american's fault. In other countries people do not flood the fitness clubs that much, and there are not many anyway. But yes! There is not other solution to this but put aside time for exercising and do it!!!

A Melvin This is so true!! My sister married an Italian and moved to Milan. Within six months her excess pounds were gone! That's because she started walking every day along the attractive spacious avenues to the little open air shops to buy the makings for supper. One shop had fresh produce and cut flowers, another had meats, another breads and so on. She saw her neighbors every day, and everyone knew everyone else. Pretty soon she was walking almost everywhere, just like everyone else in her neighborhood. When everyone does it, it goes from being drudgery to being the norm. Sadly our neighborhoods aren't laid out like that, although there is a trend now towards building more of these all inclusive type neighborhoods. That may be the only thing that will finally get us Americans in shape!

I agree. Changing a few habits is all that is required. It may not even be 50 minutes. No gym required.

I live in a city in wales and had a visit from friends from Denmark - they live in a small village in the country. I wore them out doing a touristy walk around Cardiff: they put it down to living in the country means they drive everywhere...

Well, one drives when they live in country when it is miles away from the shopping business centre. But one also can envision places whereby one lives by nice natural trails and across from a seawall... just walking a couple kilometers to get a small bag of groceries happens a lot for me know. But when the children were young no.... had to drive, or would never have got the main food shopping and errands done. We have lots of natural forested trails, parks and live across a long sewall, it helps..and swimming is a plus if one can just go across the street, but keep walking is the thing. Walking ...not speed walking that is hard on the hips and natural gait..brisk walking..and do ones own chores more, gardening house cleaning, and walk a lot...builds strength, and calcium levels and a host of other health benefits that it is proven one can not get in the stale air in a gym. Science is proving AIR outdoor air is best....
I was sent this video this morning. Watched it on my drive to get some junk food. Instead, I ate a chicken salad and an unsweetened iced tea. Listened to the video a second time on my drive home. Turned video on the TV and took out a note pad to take notes (the teacher in me). Going in for my third viewing today.
What a captivating speaker.
This is one the podcast that ever heard and felt like I’m motivated holly moly listen to the way how he organized his speech word per word. I’m glad that he spoke the truth
One of the best talks on personal fitness we've ever heard. We are implementing some of these principals church-wide!
I listened to this a year ago and it's changed my life. No more trying to work out 3 days a week or every other day. Every morning, everyday day (except Sunday). Then pull in Atomic Habits, including never miss twice. When you get working out dialed your eating changes, you know you need protein and low to no carbs to see all the hard work in the gym pay off. I've NEVER felt better and I'm 43.
This man kept my attention and he barely even moved around, im amazed
How can you not love this guy? Great talk. 👏
This guy sums up all the thoughts I’ve had in the last 5 years
I will watch this as many times as necessary. Such important information.
I love this guy; he had a great message, and delivered it with humor
I’m not an American but I’ve here long enough to have observed that Americans wants to have FUN in every they do otherwise is not worth it . . . that’s to me the most CHILDISH saying I ever heard !! Not everything you do has to be fun folks life is not Disneyland or a six-flags
