Finnish Brutality is not the reason that I have a regular workout routine, but it brings the topic to the forefront each year (and it's coming up this weekend!). I have been doing the same basic workout routine for nearly 10 years now, and it has served me really well to stay in good shape.

- I do some sort of training 6 days a week, alternating between strength and running.

- Running is either 2 or 3 miles (3.5km or 5km)

- Strength training is 4 sets of 4 exercises, taking 30-45 minutes depending on how much rest I take.

- The exercises are one each of push, pull, leg, and core.

- When I can complete 10 reps of a given exercise for all 4 sets, I up my weight one increment.

- The by-far most important element is consistency, not supplements, amount of weight, specific movements, or anything else.

It's not about trying to become the monster bodybuilders on Instagram, it's about keeping the body strong to enhance healthy lifespan and improve daily life.

Thanks for the motivation

Hey Ian, thanks for showing this. A few years back I had a career change and went into law enforcement. The academy whooped my ass into shape and it was the best shape I was in my entire life. I was the musician with long hair in high school who hated gym. I never worked out. But now naturally as the years went on with life, the job, stress, and family physical fitness has gone by the wayside and I’m even worse than where I started. I know I have to change things, but like you I just really hate working out overall. I’ve never gotten that “high” everyone says when you run, I just feel like my chest is gonna explode. But anyway, thanks for the motivation and showing that just being a normal person is enough to start working out again.

You’re in great shape mate and I say that as someone who works out 5x a week and was a semi pro athlete 20 years ago. I’ve had surgeries on 3 of my limbs now and can say exercise and strength is the best medicine. Exercise is better than Wegovy for the mind as well. Get at it lads (and lasses) 💪🏼

An active lifestyle is good for the spirit.

This is a great video and I think more people need to hear it. I’m 19, and for the first 18 years of my life, I was always the really skinny kid in my class. I started working out and my physical and mental health is a lot better. I gained weight and I look and feel so much better. I go to the gym pretty seriously, but Ian’s advice of just doing something small, but consistently is wonderful advice. Just show up. If you have someone in your life that you want to be your absolute best for (wife/husband, kids, friends, or other family), then use that as your motivation. It sounds cliche, but we really only have one life. Do literally everything to the best of your ability. Some people don’t get the chance we do. Don’t waste it.

I personally started a calorie deficit earlier this year. So far I've lost about 30 pounds by just watching how much I put in my maw each day. Probably going to incorporate some cardio by the end of the year and then some weight training a little later. I haven't done any physical training in nearly 17 years.

Supplements are a poor substitute for a good diet. Multivitamins are pretty much the only supplement one needs to overcome the possibility of not getting everything from your diet. Eat good food, not processed junk, and don't overdo. And your advice on weight, progression and FORM is really on point. Wrong form is wasting your time at best, and harmful at worst.

Thanks Ian, I really like this. Like you said, there is a significant mind body connection that can't be maintained really any other way.

good pointers. would absolutely agree on the basic 4. one would do pull ups push ups some core and squats... basics covered. maybe add cardiio as burpees and running or stairs as an alternative. getting old... should work harder again.

good luck good match have fun.

You are exactly correct about the importance of fitness and consistency. I have been exercising regularly since I was 14 years old, and I am almost 58 now. It makes a huge difference.

Philip Straatsma

Thank you for the validation of the practical basic workout. This summer I knew I needed to get out of my sitting at a desk each day slump with 30 in the treadmill and ~50 burpees. Looks like I need to add more!

Although we have different philosophies in lifting, the only advice I would say you missed is work the negative as much as the positive in the lifts. You seem to be much better at the eating well than me which is the biggest part of the battle :)

Always great to see Ian has significantly more backbone than others (many others...) in the creator space and even the guntuber space. Saying this since I found the whole supplements thing really important. Others would have caved and sold some bs, it's one of the easiest ways to earn loads with little work or risk. Thanks man.

Guido S

monthly burpee challenge. 1st do 1 burpee, 2nd do two, 3rd... you get the picture. last week of the month is fun. as a warm up...

Anders Liebenholtz

Thanks Ian, I've needed to start exercising for a while, but never gotten started.. but with 'your' philosophy of "better than last week" I feel I can start really light, and it will be 100% better than last week. I just need to start!
