Stop Exercising (IT DOESN-T WORK)

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

It doesn-t matter if you want to burn fat or build muscle, you will need to stop exercising if you want to get there. In this video, I-m going to tell you why doing exercise is not the best or fastest way to get either result since it implies randomness and a lack of intention. Instead, if you want to start getting results you will want to start training and lifting with intention. Intention, is the key component of action that determines the difference between something that is goal oriented and something that is random. Far too often, people walk into a gym and do what they feel like doing at the moment rather than what they should be doing. While you may get lucky every now and then to have this align with your goal at the moment (fat loss, muscle growth, etc, you likely won-t get this right very often at all. Because of this, you will sacrifice your ability to achieve that goal in the long run. The thing that compounds this is the fact that this delayed progress is one of the biggest deterrents to continued effort. We all have a different tolerance to how long we are willing to work without seeing results (or noticeable enough results to keep us motivated to keep training. Once that threshold is crossed for you, you likely will stop working out and give up. That said, had you stopped just randomly doing things in the gym and started doing things with a plan and with intent-you would have seen how your exercise regimen would have become a training routine and how results started appearing much faster. It is only with a plan based on purposeful training will you ever get to the goal you have (or even define the goal you are after more clearly. When you are indecisive about what your goal is, and more importantly the steps you are going to take to get there, you will find it almost impossible to achieve it. Beyond this however is the all important development of confidence that comes with setting a goal and achieving it. Once you set your mind to a specific goal and put the intention of effort behind getting there, you become empowered and open up the possibility of achieving even more. Try to stop randomly doing things with your body and instead start planning on a progression of what you are going to do to your body and you will see faster results. If you are looking for a training routine that is specific to your decided upon goal, head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System or Max Size or Shred programs. Each one will specifically guide you to getting to the goal that you have defined as most important to you now

I ran cross country sense 6th grade and half of the in into 9th grade year i couldnt run my knee hust swelled up. I had no clue what happen i just knew my would run a lap arounx the track. Come to figure i was running 20 miles a week with 0 support shoes and 0 stretching and no workouts with muscles that were needed. i am going to 11 grade now. I LOVE RUNNING--. Now im strething right way. Eating right. Wearing the right shoes. No slacking. Doing everything right. Not mistreating my body. im listening to it and treating it. i can still only run about 15 mins. think about 20 miles a week. so i signed up for track next year and have huge intentions to be on that track jussst to run. thats all i want and i wanna do it right and go big again. ik i can do and you can to i takes time. eveything is a process.

HI JEFF! I really hope you get to see this. I'm in the process of becoming a personal trainer, its my biggest passion, I love to train and educate people about a fit and healthy lifestyle. I look up to you a lot and I'd like to let you know how inspiring and motivational you are, since I've started listening to your advice, my time the gm has changed completely, I now have a purpose when I enter the gym and its an amazing feeling. I feel as if I finally have control of my fit life. Thank you for taking the time to posts free contents like these, I appreciate it very much. Hope you have a nice day! -Yenifer

YES!
I enjoy listening to athletes and coaches talk. I love character building.
This is so relevant, in my life, as I struggle with process and commitment inside the gym and out. I have always liked things -turn key. - Time to give it up. Seems you gotta be obsessed with the process, process oriented, to truly excel in life.
Anyway, this is Jeff's show, not mine. In agreement with this guy philosophically. Listening to this -pep talk-and the likes helps move the head knowledge outta the head and into action. Makes me want to do better! To me this is what a great coach does!

I gained one pound on 1250 calories. Im 5 feet one. My bmr is 1400 calories why did I gain i had 2 bites of birthday cake q pound really! I was so upset its indescribable I cant fit in my mums clothes she's a stone heavier. I haven't looked this heavy in 16 years. Food makes me sick and I deem it non essential i can run fast thrrefore don't need much. But 1000 average is a little low

Love the straight talk.
But, you don't have a program to get prepared for a program. The program picker on the site told me, basically, to go watch the multitude of videos and come back when I could do a couple pull ups.
And, I appreciate that.
Unfortunately, lack of direction has one floating from trying to strengthen the rotator cuff to fixing posture to attempting a fat burn sequence.
I hope that you keep producing videos. It's just that the volume of great information is sometimes overwhelming.

At first, I wanted to disagree because I do random stuff, but then as you kept on going, I had to agree. I already have all the muscle mass I ever wanted. I just want to cut and keep my strength. I only do weights so that I stimulate my muscles (very heavy); while most of my time is on cardio. So when I walk into the gym, I decide what to do based on what muscle isn't sore that day. Then the rest, is just my cardio. I guess I can use Jeff's advice if I wanted to gain mass/strength again.

This is absolute truth. I go to Planet Fitness because it is what I can afford at the moment, and I see soon many people so relaxed and going about their workout without intent. That is the only reason my fitness goals were never met in the past. I had no intention behind why I was at the gym. I had no goals. This time I have decided on my goals with the overall goal of being fit for my family so I canshow them the way.

Jeff, I understand, but sometimes it is nice to do something just for the fun of it. I take my career very seriously, a hobby of playing guitar pretty focused after many years of just dicking around with it but I only exercise as you say for FUN. I like to watch you so I don't get hurt HAVING FUN! Some day when you get older you will learn you don't always have to have a goal just to have a little fun in life!

I use 5lb dumbbells with the intention of building my triceps and shoulders. I don't give a shit about what others think of me in a gym.
There's no waste of any reps or sets whatsoever because Jeff taught me well.
Really true about confident that Jeff is talking. If you have confident in a gym, you'll have it in your life too.
