Trying to Get Into Fitness & Health

a month is already past of 2018 and you

0:02

know what that means

0:03

people have already started giving up on

0:05

their New Year's resolutions google

0:07

claims that only 8% of people actually

0:09

keep their resolutions which is like the

0:11

ultimate I'm not mad just disappointed

0:13

well I'm happy to tell you that I

0:16

haven't dropped any of my resolutions I

0:20

don't write any my family never really

0:22

did resolutions once my dad was like

0:25

let's all write resolutions this year

0:26

and we still didn't and then I didn't

0:29

accomplish anything for me when I want

0:31

to change something I start trying to

0:32

integrate it into my life right away

0:34

rather than waiting until next week or

0:36

next year or next lifetime for that

0:38

fresh start every day is a Jayden New

0:41

Year whew

0:44

as someone who doesn't write them and

0:45

probably isn't qualified to critique the

0:47

art of New Year's resolutions I'm gonna

0:49

toss my opinion that no one asked for

0:51

into the ring I think the main

0:52

contributors to those 92 % failing goals

0:55

are they're too unrealistic and they're

0:57

too vain let's stop beating around the

0:59

bush and talk about the most common

1:00

resolution people make losing weight

1:02

eating healthier you know that

1:04

rabbit-hole lose 20 pounds by drinking

1:06

this tea from a weird plant you've never

1:08

heard of lose 10 pounds in 30 minutes or

1:10

your pizzas free lose your money it's

1:13

all basically just all those quick fix

1:19

weight-loss scams that make

1:20

too-good-to-be-true claims are just

1:22

people who want your money sure the

1:24

scale says hey great job you lost seven

1:26

pounds in a week but your body says yeah

1:29

but that was all just water weight and

1:30

also I don't feel very good

1:32

or if you want change you've got to earn

1:35

it through work there isn't an easy way

1:37

out making changes in your lifestyle

1:39

need to be sustainable for life that's

1:41

why they're called lifestyle changes not

1:44

I'm gonna pay $200 for this diet shake

1:47

feel good for two weeks lose 10 pounds

1:49

start feeling bad and give up in a month

1:52

changes I'm gonna start working out more

1:54

I'm gonna start going to the gym let's

1:56

be honest with ourselves here that's a

1:59

weak excuse for a resolution I will go

2:01

on a run every other morning I'll lift

2:03

weights 3 to 5 days a week those are

2:05

much easier to follow then I'll exercise

2:07

more get out of here with that big

2:10

crap you don't even know what you mean

2:11

by that and don't be flaky and say oh I

2:13

missed a week oh I'm hopeless you're not

2:19

gonna be perfect for a whole year

2:21

take a breath chill and keep going I'm

2:24

saying that to myself just as much as I

2:25

am to you I've been trying to be more

2:27

self-aware about when my brain just

2:28

wants to turn one little mess-up into an

2:30

excuse to stop something entirely I'm

2:33

getting better at slowly ending that

2:34

habit I grew up doing a lot of sports

2:36

soccer martial arts tennis competitive

2:39

pokemon I know my way around the gym but

2:41

I dropped it all my last year of high

2:42

school to focus on YouTube and art I

2:44

didn't care about what I ate and

2:46

combined with not moving around much I

2:48

started feeling pretty crummy so I ended

2:50

up turning to what most people do when

2:51

they reach a similar problem all right

2:55

here we go let's talk about home

3:03

exercise videos why are so many of them

3:05

so fake the weird hip-hop music and the

3:09

smiles that are a bit too wide it might

3:11

just be the plastic surgery but it all

3:13

makes me feel uncomfortable

3:14

I get that instructors want to make

3:16

exercise seem fun and all that but and

3:18

it feels super condescending to me how

3:21

the frig do they do entire workout

3:23

smiling and talking and making cheesy

3:25

eating beats a jokes all right now hold

3:28

that squat oh you'll not burn in those

3:30

quads I'm smiling and articulating

3:32

everything perfectly and I totally know

3:34

you're panting like a dying animal over

3:36

there don't think about that leftover

3:37

pizza in the fridge looking at you

3:40

Brittany if you're looking for good home

3:41

exercise programs I'm gonna recommend

3:43

this blog I've been following for a

3:45

super long time called Fitness Blender

3:47

well is that the sella norm is Jaden

3:49

finally selling out No turn that thing

3:52

off I've never talked to fitness Blender

3:54

they're not paying me to say this they

3:55

don't even know I exist it's run by this

3:59

nice couple Daniel and Kelly they're

4:01

super down-to-earth and have a really

4:02

healthy view on fitness and wellness

4:04

you can tell they know their stuff all

4:06

their exercise videos and tips are

4:07

completely free and if you want to use

4:09

one of their written programs or meal

4:10

plans they're like 15 bucks and they

4:12

don't have that some music video if

4:15

you're just starting out exercise it's

4:17

gonna hurt and/or suck for a bit if it

4:19

doesn't you aren't gonna see changes

4:21

well okay don't murder yourself

4:23

be smart about it but your body is gonna

4:25

complain for a while and that's good

4:27

there's plenty of activities you can do

4:28

playing a sport with friends walking

4:30

your dog a casual battle to the death

4:32

squats and respect your starting point

4:35

when I first started trying to get back

4:36

into working out I was just okay alright

4:41

go through it alright we're done with

4:44

our warmup grab a quick drink of water

4:46

and we'll get right into the workout but

4:47

just stick through the beginning because

4:49

that's literally the hardest part raise

4:51

your hand if you're sore hat trick

4:53

question you can't raise your arms

4:55

they're jello don't forget that exercise

4:57

is only a quarter of the health journey

4:58

what do you eat is the biggest variable

5:00

to all this life changing athlete hippy

5:02

mumbo-jumbo eating right is like

5:04

straight-up magic you feel amazing it's

5:07

the closest thing to drugs that isn't

5:09

drugs there's a difference between being

5:11

thin versus fit versus healthy kind of

5:13

like Venn diagram style someone could be

5:15

thin but that doesn't mean they're at

5:17

all healthy someone could be super

5:19

swollen buff but eat junk 24/7 and

5:22

someone could be eating super healthy

5:23

but not have the body of a supermodel

5:24

there's a healthy range of everything I

5:27

used to have a really bad relationship

5:28

with eating I've talked about it before

5:29

in college I developed an eating

5:31

disorder and a fear of eating food and I

5:33

would go like an entire day eating

5:35

almost nothing no Jaden you think that

5:38

eating 600 calories today is just gonna

5:40

float you to all your hopes and dreams

5:41

nope it's just gonna give you headaches

5:44

and emotional breakdowns you can trust

5:46

me

5:46

I'm from the future also learn what

5:49

bitcoin is and invest everything you can

5:51

into it while you still can

5:52

I wish there was more information being

5:54

taught on the dangers of eating

5:55

disorders because if I knew about that

5:57

whole mess three years ago I would have

5:59

been like whoa okay never mind let's do

6:01

a 180 here this ship is wack I'm getting

6:04

out of here before it controls

6:05

everything in my life you can't abuse

6:06

your body and expect anything good to

6:08

come from it

6:09

man I feel great I could totally run a

6:11

marathon and write an essay right now

6:13

I'm so energized and my brain is so

6:15

clear thanks for feeding me literally

6:17

one great you don't go to the gas

6:19

station pour a cup of gas into your car

6:21

and then try to drive to China eating

6:23

less than your body needs to physically

6:25

survive accomplishes nothing it might

6:27

seem like it's working in the moment but

6:29

honey you've got a big storm coming

6:31

please try to end it as soon as you

6:32

I'm not at all trying to shame anyone

6:34

going through rough times with their

6:36

self-image I know it's a really hard

6:37

thing to fight against I was pretty far

6:39

gone when I was struggling and even

6:41

though I'm in a much better place now I

6:42

do still have bad days what helps me is

6:44

trying to separate logical thoughts from

6:46

the bad ones that fueled the irrational

6:48

fears they're not here to see you

6:50

succeed they're just the dumb brain

6:51

versions of those TV and email scams

6:54

where they're like hey give me your

6:55

credit card info social security number

6:57

and mother's maiden name and I'll give

6:59

you a million dollars

7:00

I won't literally destroy your life I'm

7:02

just your friendly neighborhood Nigerian

7:04

prince it's all more simple than you

7:05

think eat healthy when you can fresh

7:07

fruit vegetables whole foods and it's

7:10

okay to treat yourself every once in a

7:11

while

7:12

don't say I'm never eating sugar for the

7:14

rest of my life you're setting yourself

7:16

up for failure there and end up pulling

7:18

you James exercise as much as little as

7:20

you're ready for and be mindful and

7:22

respectful about how your body feels

7:24

little changes go a long way remember

7:26

you're doing this for you and don't play

7:28

that dumb hip-hop music while you work

7:30

out or I swear to Hercules I'm gonna run

7:32

someone over with an exercise bike Hey

7:36

it's been a while sorry anyway I don't

7:39

know if you've seen yet but the finebros

7:41

made a reaction video on me I've already

7:43

seen it and had a reaction but I don't

7:46

think I'll be making I react to people

7:48

react to me thing I know a lot of people

7:51

wanted me to do that

7:52

I enjoyed the video they said some nice

7:54

things I hope you see it and thanks to

7:56

the fine bros for thinking I'm someone

7:58

worth reacting to this video took a bit

8:01

longer to get done this year's actually

8:03

gonna be pretty busy and we've got some

8:05

special things in the works for you in

8:06

the future I'm really trying to have the

8:08

quality of videos and not die in the

8:10

process I used to be super strict on

8:12

uploading every two weeks but it's

8:14

really not sustainable for my mental

8:16

health or my health in general so the

8:18

videos will just be done when they're

8:20

done if I could post more I definitely

8:22

would but I care more about the quality

8:24

of videos than a certain schedule so

8:26

yeah also I hope you liked the video

8:29

stick to your resolutions keep working

8:31

towards the person you want to become

8:33

and take care of yourself I'm working on

8:35

all of that stuff too okay bye
