Have you ever tried a minimalist approach to your strength training? What long-term goals do you have in your strength training? Let us know in the comments ⬇ As Always 🤙

In my 50's and still trying to stay fit. I love getting some of my workouts in doing work around the property. Dragging Logs our of the forest, splitting firewood, clearing brush. Round it out with some gym work, and it keeps me in pretty good shape.

Pls do more content for parents!!! Got a beautiful 2 and 4.5 yr old! The lack of sleep, routine = bad cravings = low motivation to workout. Pls help!! Great tips so far. Congrats on your twins - double the blessings!

Dad in 30s and I can confirm. I’ve completely transformed my physique doing weighted pushups, pullups, and squats. It doesn’t need to be complicated.

I think the problem that many people fall into is focusing on the destination and not the journey itself...the process is never going to be instant, normally its slow, buuuuut really worth the wait !! Oh, BTW, CONGRATULATIONS on your 2 bundles of joy 🎉🎉🎉❤

I'm 42... yet have been following you guys for few years... and glad I have . Thank you again😊

Great content. I really like how you always show the multitude of opportunities one has with little to no equipment. That really makes it real life applicable for most people. 💯

51 and father of an 11 year old daughter. I’ve been rock climbing for 20+ years and my daughter joined my gym’s climbing team last year. Love the sport and what it’s taught me about my body over the years and love the time I get to spend with her! I’ve always supplemented with weights and really like a ‘landmine’ setup. Super versatile and pretty minimal for when I can’t get to the gym.

Congrats on the twins. Been watching a while and can tell that you’ll be a great dad. Thank you for everything you do and thanks for motivating my 33 year old self. Skateboarding has beaten me bad over the years, yet you’ve given me so much hope! All the best to your family!

Welcome to fatherhood! One of the most beneficial things I've done is switch to a hybrid type of workout between calisthenics and kettle bells. After injuries through work and weight training, this was the best option to gain strength and mobility. Best choice ever. I picked up a few workouts from this video, thank you for putting great info out, brother. God bless!

Congratulations on becoming a father! I have twins as well, they're 4 now and the first few years were definitely a struggle and like most people I ended up neglecting my training/nutrition while simply trying to keep my head above water. A year later I had gained about 15lbs and realized that if I wanted to be able to keep up with them as they grow and run around than I better get into shape. Your channel definitely helped out since we were in and out of lockdowns back then

Much love to you Strength side . Appreciate the passion and love y’all share in this KZfaq community for living a healthy lifestyle for your mind, body and soul…and friends and family. Looking forward to more. Yall are a blessing friends

Congrats on the kiddos! It's been 40 years since mine were little, but what a joy! I've just recently started finally getting more regular on workouts after a few decades of "Someday..." I want to be around to be able to keep pestering my wife and enjoying my great-grandchilden growing up (when I have some, that is). Your videos are very motivating.

Congrats on the boys my man, the video on using your time well as a parent would be awesome for me. It's definitely the one thing I really struggle with as I don't have a lot of equipment at home

My first kids were twin boys too. Almost 14 years ago. They are the reason I started a home gym. It's really fun when they start working out in the garage with me. Keep up the great work.

Congrats on the twins!!!! My oldest is 2.5 and it just gets more and more fun every week. You look like the kind of dude that will feel the same way. Good things are coming man!

Just want to say thanks so much for your content and positive attitude! I started my journey back into health 2 years ago. I consistently followed your stretch/mobility videos which motivated back into progressive overload strength training. I’m now 36 and in tremendous health as a direct result 🙏

Congratulations on the twins! First time mom at 42 here so this is soooo timely and perfect. Short and to the point is just what we need !

So excited for your beautiful family. Children are definitely the greatest blessing. Enjoy them every single second, especially when they are little, because it truly does fly by. Congratulations! And as always, thank you for the excellent content. Always so informative and helpful.

Congrats Josh! 40yo father of two here. Your work was so important when they were tiny in focusing on enjoying movement, process over outcome, and building up momentum. Now enjoying home gym barbell strength training for first time in my life. Respect to you and all the parents out there.

This has been super helpful i became a father at 35 less than 2 years ago, and i've been feeling myself get weaker. As s result i've been getting injured over basic stuff. I'd become pretty depressed, and realized something has to change. Gonna try to put this all into practice, its good to know its never too late

Clear, effective and simple message, without ads or spin. Great work

Great video guys! I became a dad for the first time two years ago now so can definitely relate to a lot of the ideas here. My training has changed a lot since becoming a dad and they can be more challenging at times. Its such a cool feeling though getting into a handstand and your kiddo comes alongside you to try and get into a handstand too.

Love this! Just found your channel and the content is great. I'm a life-long athlete of 57 and I've been fortunate enough to build a solid home gym. I'm going to start implementing some of your ideas. Thank you... and cheers!

Suscribed in my late 30s and there is an alive body still after 40🇦🇷

Nothing beats the joy, happiness and craziness of having kids.

This is great. I’m 43 and have been extremely lazy for a while. I just started a PPL program with some cardio a few days ago and this video is very helpful. Congratulations to you and the family.

Appreciate this so much, congrats on the kids too, the biggest blessing. Echo what he said about a home gym. I have a pull up bar, some kettlebells and a weighted vest, about 20 square feet of garage space, and have never felt too limited. I also have 4 kids, but it’s easy to get something quick and effective done a few times a week. Sided note, as your kids get older, they actually appreciate seeing their dad have a workout routine… more is caught than is taught, as they say!

Love your videos because of you guys I got my pull up game back at 55 and more importantly, just work on flexibility, squatting and daily dead hangs just feeling good is what it’s all about. appreciate you!

Yay! Congrats on the TWINS!! This video is massively helpful ❤️

Congratulations on the Twins and Thanks For This♥️

Really love your stuff guys keep it up!! Dad to a 2 year old and all my training went out the window when he was born, however 8 months ago I got really consistent with little daily activities. The best way I find to stay consistent was to do little bits all throughout the day! I work from a desk so I set a 25 minute timer every time I sit down, when the timer goes off I complete a set of reps on a given exercise, push ups pull ups squats dips leg raises ect, this consistence every day along with eating well has helped me get down to 17% body fat for the first time in my life, my plan is to continue this while upping the difficulty by going through the progressions and adding weight!! Anybody else do anything like this?

As always. Big thanks! This is still inspiring. 🙏 As a 36 yo father of twins, I understand what you are living ! 😅

Very useful video. Thank you. Congratulations on the new addition to your family. More love to you.

I have been a subscriber probably the last year to two years now. I’ve done everything from sports to martial arts for bout 20+ years with strength training being a high focus for 10+ of those years. Definitely wrote some complicated crap for myself too lol 😅 Now I’m bout to be 32, have a few injuries from all the high impact and stress (nothing too bad), and a demanding job (and life) which has caused me to fall off the last several years. Even in this last year trying to get back in shape has been hard cause I kept making it complicated. Love your content cause it makes sense and provided much needed perspective! Congrats on the kiddos! Well wishes to you and yours! Keep up the great content.

Great video, friends! First time watching and lots of awesome advice in one vid. All the best!

For years since I've gotten out of the military, I've gotten onto and fallen off the fitness wagon. I'm a parent now, though, and this video rang so true. I very much appreciate you guys and your content and the time you take to provide said content. Also, huge congrats on the twin boys dude, that's amazing!

Excellent video and just what i needed right now. Thanks!

Thank you for making this video, I've been training for a while mainly in the gym and occasionally at home, but wanted to make my trainings more efficient and less time consuming. Thank you both!

I love this video. ❤ Gives me enough clarity and is so much less intimidating. As a Beginner , minimalist approach is hands down the best . All the best & keep getting stronger.

I actually started off my fitness journey at 31 (I am going on 33 this year) where i started with a bit of running (and obviously healthier eating closer to a semi strict LCHF with aded 8-16 fasting), added stretching after a while followed by bodyweight exercises i could do in my kitchen combined with a short routine of core mobility in the morning and before bed. I kept doin HIIT running of mostly 3Km runs 2-4 times/w. last year i got a gym membership after regularly using an outdoors gym a few times/w. I have now dropped from 120kg to 85kg and built myself up to the 97kg i am today. The real gains started when i combined an indoor gym with the goal of doing an actual pullup (i were mostly seated by the computer and sofa for almost 10 years due to untreated depression and NPF diagnoses). Started off with hanging in bars for 20s, i have progressed to 1m 10s over a year and are able to do assisted pullups with no weight assist. I only do bodyweight exercises combined with callisthenics and running, this equals out to about 1-2hrs of actual dedicated exercise/week, 1-3 15min runs at 3km HIIT. 1-3 40min gym sessions. This in combination with 2-5min mobility routines in the mornings and before bed got me healthier and much stronger than i ever were in my youth. This channel have given me lots of inspiration and added many exercises to my rotation. Thanks guys! My advice is WALK A LOT and move with purpose, really think about how you move, it will help you live better, longer, stronger.

Love love love!!!! Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Congrats on twins! Children are life changers, looking forward to following your journey. I have 3 girls, oldest is 8. At 39, I'm still discovering my peak physically but recovery is challenging, so it's a fine balance of stimulation vs overtraining. We're fortuate to have a variety of training methods and influences, it's then a case of finding what works, what's fun, and what's sustainable. Ideally move more than you sit... that's not always so easy for me in my profession.

I love your videos. As a coach I gain so much value from the way that you approach exercise, and equally enjoy using your vids to get excited about my session.

Excellent video! Really appreciate you doing this, since it speaks to what I am currently facing. Keep it up & all the best with parenting twins!

Just turned 31 and had my first kid last year back in August. During the pregnancy I had slowly stopped working out as we had to get life together for the baby to be. Then getting a new job and etc to when the baby was born my focus just wasn’t on working out especially with the little sleep I was getting. Now that she’s a few months older sleep has been getting better and now to start the year I’m back to working out and my GF has joined me in the mix. Luckily grandma is obsessed with the baby so the days we want to workout for a good hour or so she has no problem coming over and now in my 30s this vid popping up was perfect timing

Congrats, Josh! Thanks for sharing these really sweet images of your awesome family! Yes, please do make some content directed at parents! We often get neglected and our time restrictions, and physical and mental demands are easily overlooked. Thank you!

Love to see it man keep up the good work!

Love this, thank you!

You guys are the best. I've been wanting a video like this for a while. As a 37 year old dad, time is not in abundance, but I want to be a superman for my kid. Your workouts are always helpful, and really motivating. Congrats on the kids!

Congrats on the twins, always loved your content and loving this minimalist approach, I've been doing Dan John's easy strength for the past couple months and that's been kind of similar actually, works great!

Congrats on the twins!! This video hit home for me, and was incredibly reassuring I am on the right track. Through covid (and wfh), becoming a father, and entering my 30’s, what you describe is exactly what I do…calisthenics, the super sets, push/pull/squats…the only difference is my mentality is all around “maintenance” as opposed to actively seeking/planning progressive overload..

Congrats on the babes! Yes I’m doing your suggestions regarding my workouts🙏🏻👍🏻

became a father 9 months ago, fully understand the challenges and yes its easy to slide. Just stay at it every day a bit. I feel that from a desk job and stress my focus is more and more on yoga, breathing and functional rehab but I love mixing it with old school strength workouts. The mental aspect is also super important. Thanks for the cool video!

Bro. Hit the nail on this one. I’ve got twin girls and this video just affirmed all the training I’ve been doing. Bang for buck. Thanks legend! And all the best with your family

Congratulations! You are a great inspiration 😊

love it! All things i implement i my training - Awesome work guys!

Thanks guys. That helped me a lot.

Since COVID I've been training the minimalist way-pull ups,ring dips and single squats variations, recently i put a doorframe pull up bar at home with rings and now i have no excuses, thanks for all the great content keep it up... cheers from Israel

I loved your channel before and I love it even more now because THIS is my workout. Push-Pull-Legs // Super Sets for the win. Congrats on the twins 🎉 stay strong 💪🏻

can totally identify witih this. I am 37 with 5 kids and the home gym has been the biggest help simply because of the time constraints, as you mention. Thank you!

Congratulations on the twins Josh! They are adorable and so cute. Congratulations to Trevor on being an uncle.🥳🎉 This video was filled with really helpful and useful information. Thank you for that.

I love this minimalist approach. We see some people in their 60d and 70s who are such monster strength and health machines. Looking to build that safely and gradually, with focus on functionality, strength, energy, flexibility, agility. Love to the whole family! Keep the great trainings coming, many thanks!

Hey, I just wanted to say that this video resonated with me that much that I just decided to change my routine as follows, and I'm starting it next week.

Massive congratulations on the twinlets!!!

Congrats on the twins! New twin dad here myself, at 43 it's a challenge to keep up with a steady workout routine. Would love to see more content geared towards new parents. Thanks and peace! 🙏✌️

Great vid. Gotta cover the basics!

Thanks!

Im obsessed with yoga but this all started with following you two through covid. Im 50ish and my body feels wrecked after Covid (working remotely was great but a real detriment)...Im working to maintain mobility while building strength. I like these suggestions.

man, congratulations on your twins. I have a 2 year old son and I well know the struggle.

good vid - added to watchlist for later reference and ty!

Congrats on the twins! You guys are blessed

Great advice, channel is superb, you're crushing it bro

It’s so funny , I been training for twelve years, im 29 with 2 kids and this is how I train intuitively now. Calisthenics mixed with weights and HITT are my go to now. Saves me time. And it’s ways better for my body and joints !

Amazing, brother. I just turned 40 & u just summed up my approach to fitness in one video. Longevity is something I strive for & probably the only reason why I still strength-train lol. Need it to keep skating/bouldering till I'm grey😂

Congratulations on your twins. I am a 69 year old father of a grown up son and daughter. Enjoy the ride! - Dave

Ohhh this one hit home Josh! Keeping the practice going, while being a dad, and building a business at the same time is quite a journey. I'm sure many will benefit from these tips. Loved how you guys made this. Big up to you all. 🫂 - Yassir

There is a great research paper called "No time to lift" that basically tells the same story. Push Pull Squat with at least four sets per muscle per week. The gains will be slower, but not everybody has the time/money/whatever to go 3-5 times to the gym for 90 minutes. I have been doing it with the sole purpose of "sticking to it". Forcing myself not to add any sets or exercises but stick to this short training routine for at least 6 weeks before changing a thing. I only add 60 mins zone 2 training and 1 day of 100 heavy-ish kettlebellswings to get the pump pumping. Keep going, your stuff is great guys!

Congratulations on the new twins! 🎉🎇💖

no bs. to the point. will try. thank you. 👍👍

Congratulations on the twins bro. Blessings.

This is great! I'm a mum of three 3 and under, it's a hectic life and I want to keep myself healthy for them. Congrats on the beautiful twins!

Solid advice man.

Thanks for the video and congrats on the twins! My twin boys just turned two a couple months ago.

You've given me a new perspective towards strength training in 30s. Subbed!

Awesome channel

So happy to watch this video and have the feeling that i am actually doing all those things. And i'm finally being consistent for about a year now. I learned most of it from you! Feels super good! Went with MSN for about 6 months and then switched to your free split routines (mobility and strength). Seeing great progress and having lots of fun at home. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and being awesome guys! =)

When the kids came, and they are now 2 and 4, everything changed. So did my training. I reduced it to the minimum, doing at least 10 push-ups every single day was my staring point. Now I'm doing 25 pushups + 20 in variation, 15 Burpees and 50 bodyweight squats. I love it and has become a part of me. Shout out to you guys and @kboges!

You guys have awesome vids with lots of knowledge!! Any merch? 💪🏽

Welcome to the Club, and Major Congrats. Twins out the Gate!!! bless!

Man it is so refreshing to have someone talk to us older guys and gals like an adult. As with most things in life simplicity is key.
