How I Reduced my Body Fat % by a 3rd!

Рет қаралды 113,354

Күн бұрын

The Body Fat Percentage, is a well recognised measure of your of health. A high percentage of body fat can increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular and other health conditions. The ideal body fat percentage is different for men and women and it varies with age. Like the majority of the global population, mine was too high. This video talks about how I reduced my body fat percentage by just under a third in 14 months, with exercise and changes to my eating and lifestyle habits.
The Muscle-Up exercise performed in the video, is an example of the calisthenics exercises that helped me reduce my body fat percentage. I have recently uploaded a video which is a tutorial for this skill.

Well done sir, you're an inspiration. I'm 51, used to rock climb when young and getting back into it after 20 years. I've lost 4kg, and BMI 21, but I'm aiming to get lower. When I was 30 I could do a 1 arm pull up, but no way now. Getting the climbing grades back up, now doing F6c+ / 7a. Need to eat less. Eat well, but smaller portions. Reduce carbs, especially fat. Doing weights twice a week.

@KhattaRapidus 4 ай бұрын

Fastest way is changing the types of fats you eat and learning to control carbohydrate types, timing. You cannot simply reduce dietary fat/sugar and expect to get shredded. Although that is a necessary step. These are my words. Take them as you will.

I think doing muscle ups the way you have been doing them is impressive! I also think that if you incorporated a resistance band into every other muscle up wokrput or even just at the end when you start failing, you'd make gains quicker. I'm 41 this year and have been lifting for about 2 years on and off but since January, I'm taking it the next level. Loosing body fat and doing cardio. You have inspired me to start muscle ups in the spring in a nearby workout park. I used to train muscle ups a few years back. Thanks 👊

@funwithcalisthenics 4 ай бұрын

When I first started I was just doing push-ups, most days. After a year I started to add in pull-up. I was just doing what I was enjoying, with no real plan or goal. Now my workouts are usually 3 times a week, and more structured. However, I like to keep it interesting, so I might do a 6 week weighted pull up program, followed by a high reps program. Or sometimes, I like to do ten sets ten, push-ups, dips, pull-ups, squats, chin-ups and then 100 biceps curls with each arm. So basically 700 reps altogether. Good luck with what you are doing!

Congratulations! And I agree, these machines working with electrical resistance are only good for before-and-now comparisons with yourself. One doesn't have to care about the absolute value one bit. I once fooled such a machine by having it take my measurements, then drinking one liter of water, and taking my measurements again. And the result was a slightly higher bodyfat percentage reading, despite the fact that my actual bodyfat percentage was slightly lower now, because I had added one kilogram of non-fat mass to my bodyweight. But since the water was still in my stomach, it didn't change the electrical resistance of my extremities, so the machine's algorithm drew the wrong conclusion 😁

That’s interesting to know. I must admit, for the cost of just one U.K. pound, a go, well was 70p, but didn’t give me any change, I wasn’t expecting perfection, just a guide.

@funwithcalisthenics 4 ай бұрын

Hi Dave, when I started out, my workouts where shorter, all body weight, mainly push-ups… so recovery was easier. So I tried to do something about 5 days a week. If I was tired from push-ups, I’d focus on squats.. etc. But all low reps at the beginning. Built up really slowly. These days, I try and have a decent work out three days a week. And maybe two days of practising skills etc. Then two complete rest days. The most important bit being the rest days and the three good session. As I get older, recovery seems more important!

That’s what I thought.. as long as I stay with the same machine, and accept they aren’t perfect..

Congratulations, remember there's a correlation between muscle mass and all-cause mortality, so you've extended the length as well as the quality of your life.

Btw also important to look at cardio. My resting pulse is 55bpm, my BP is 95/55 (incredibly low for an adult, usually this low BP is only found in teenagers and kids, but low BP is the simplest measure of metabolic health).

Like you, I’m gifted with low BP.. I’m sure that has helped me throughout my life!

Strength Level says that for 59 and 80kg 7 muscle ups in a single set is elite standard.

Hi, I hadn’t heard of Strength Level, so I just checked it out. And yes, you are correct! Never thought of myself as elite!

Sir, what do you say about cottage cheese (curd) ? I never liked protein shakes, hence my daily protein intake is very low. I also don't eat red meat - I dont have any other protein restrictions or preferences.

@funwithcalisthenics 4 ай бұрын

Hi, I don’t have any opinion on cottage cheese. If you like it, eat it.

@maalikserebryakov 4 ай бұрын

Well if you dont eat red meat, cheese, protein powder then what is left, grass? xd
