The Importance of Exercise

[MrViper365]

0:30 But i like to be a sloth.... LOL!

[tsolson99]

im young but im a little overweight. tried the hcg diet, and it didnt work. the only reason i lost 7 pounds is because i was eating and swimming ALOT.

[EliasJordan3]

you don't look like you exercise that much.

[Chronic1Fs]

so you use to be obese and have acney? i doubt it

[RatedRKJerichO]

Your videos are so motivational! Thanks you're AWESOME!!

[whuddupjenny]

Do you have a lot, or any 'sagging' skin? I have to lose about the same amount that you did, and I'm worried about this.

[ObesityMyth]

I encourage everyone on here to look into Dr. Linda Bacon Ph.D., Dr. Stephan Guyenet Ph.D.

Obesity is extremely complex. This guy in the video has nothing going on in his mind. The simplistic Caloric Model of obesity is a failed model. It is wrong. Caloric restriction ( dieting) does NOT work. It will never treat obesity long term. All you will do is raise your bodyfat setpoint, to protect you against future diets.

Exercise itself is also very overrated for fat loss. Dr. Eric Ravussin

[myrandataylorlove]

VV (person below me) you could have worded that nicer couldn't you? he was just trying to encourage people to be healthy and happy

[SexyJane28]

You have nothing going on upstairs. There are VERY complex regulatory feedback loops homeostatic factors that are beyond out control that determine bodyfat level.

We are NOT in TOTAL control of our bodyfat. Exercise is very overrated, as well as dieting ( moderate to severe caloric restriction, semi starvation etc) for losing fat.

You need to look into Dr. Stephan Guyenet, fool. He has a Ph.D. in the neurobiology of bodyfat regulation. You whacked out vegan. All of you have "WOMEN FACE:.

[alexpoobum]

umm exercise is important but diet is far more important

[XxemilyevilxX]

you are a true inspiration :)

[Mjolkmaestro]

is snowboarding 7 hours a week good enough? :P cuz if it is then my 3 next years are lookin good :D

[Qasim0121]

Is their a DDR game 4 the ps3?

[cyberalive]

lol ..but then I'll have to leave Youtube :(

[lilbrunette5536]

pahahah, "but i like to be a slothhh"

[xXarmagedonsunrizeXx]

your realy educated about health stuff.

Its good that you share this with viewers coz some people dont know this or dont believe it

[latenight003]

Hey Cody, what about people who don't get fat no matter what they eat? Me for example, I drink sugary drinks and potato chips almost everyday (not the chips, if I did, I'd die of sore throats). And I don't exercise on a regular basis, just when I feel like.

[NJJmylove]

When you are older though, all the unhealthy stuff you did, will catch up to you. YOur appearence will look horrible too! Also you could get diabetes, or bad/high coletseral(sp?)....Also just because you are skinny and not fat, does not mean you are healthy. In fact if you eat junk and exercise when you feel like it you are very UNhealthy. It is horrible for your health.

[TheBackseatFridge]

i love all your hand gestures in these videos. :D

[Switchside18]

i just lost 9 pounds last two months !!

congratulate me !!

i go run every day... and i eat candies any more...

[squirttle92]

congrats switchside18 :)

[Switchside18]

Oh !! thank you very much !! XD

[RosieAngell]

Is Wii fit considered exercise?

[qwertyflib1]

im quite thin but i dont eat health but i do exercise by walking to and from school which is about 40 mins and then i have pe for most days about 40 mins aswell

but i think i should eat much healthier though

[black429]

You were obese???? Can't believe it, but good for you, for turning your life around.

[AllMatt99]

In his old vids he says he played ddr to lose weight :)

[icey47192]

well yea if you play a game all day your not really gonna think about food when your really into it.

[icey47192]

exercise is the best cause it actually helps you keep the weight off diets dont work for me.

[JazzyKat4Ever]

Also... Boys loose weight easier than girls... -.-

[qwertyflib1]

really? how come?

[Darkjamac04]

inspiring :3

[2ndviolin]

I tried exercise, and now my knee hurts.

Let's see a "before" picture please, I just can't picture you fat.

[truesurvivor586]

I have been blessed with a high metabolism...for now and i know its going to wear off one day. I am just too lazy to get motivated to work out haha. When i was in high school i did cheer, that motivated me because i enjoyed it..now im just kinda blah

[sumfight]

If you follow the link I provided in the sidebar, it's on my site :)

[RistesTube]

How about putting a pic when you were fat :$

[RistesTube]

@RistesTube Nevermind i saw you in teh memories video :)

[meforcryingoutloud]

FITTY

[jsholt123]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!! short and to the point LOVE IT !!! i am at the other end (again) ...i'm 367 lbs. (was 400lbs two months ago) ...and that is all it takes ...change the diet a little to healthier foods and MOVE AROUND!!....just awesome keep it up!!!

[iAmSummerSkye]

I'm definitely getting more fit this Spring. I have Volleyball class everyday so that's where I get in my 30-40 minutes :) I wanna do much better though. I'm going to pair up with a close friend of mine and we're going to accomplish something we should've a while ago.

[JumokeTV]

dude your awesome man .. thanks for this video

-JumokeTV

[hopelovesdj]

Is that a fat joke?!?!?!?!.. lmao.. jk jk jk ur right it is as simple as it sounds! I Think ur vid really had an impact on me!!

[sumfight]

Well I'm glad to hear that :)

[ayumi199124]

You are so right Cody! Since I started exercising I'm a happier person and it really helps me to feel better when I'm sad =]

[sumfight]

It's weird huh, who would have thought it would make us happier, I didn't back then :P

[Jenaliecullen11]

my friend is 5,6 about 2 be 5,7 and her weight is 110 is that the right weight for her

[ajkl27]

According to the BMI calculator she is under weight, but not by too much, if she gained 10 pounds she'd on the lower end of the normal range.

[sethdavid1997]

im 12 and weigh like 149 is that fat?

[dramaqueeninator]

Well it really depends on your height.

[sethdavid1997]

im like 5.7 5.8

[dramaqueeninator]

Ok well according to the BMI index, you're perfectly healthy. You may want to try losing a couple of pounds, but really, you're at the age where your body is going through all sorts of weird shit. I really wouldn't worry about your weight until you hit your mid to late teens, or at least until you know for a fact that your body has stopped growing.

[sumfight]

Thank you for helping out with the comments :)

[dramaqueeninator]

No problem :))) I've always struggled with weight problems, but I just realized that my body was experiencing changes.

Just a side note for EVERYONE, I tried purging my food to loose weight...I don't recommend it. Just do as Cody says: get off the couch, exercise, & eat healthy. I know it's tough, but I'd rather live a long, healthy life than dying at the age of 35 by a heart attack.

[ItsDanCog]

im 15 and i'm like 130 lol. and i'm probably average height

[ajkl27]

At 12 you shouldn't really worry about that, I was overweight when I was younger but thinned out naturally during puberty. You're not fully developed yet so you're weight will fluctuate. As long as you're not over eating you should be ok.

[sumfight]

Very good response :)

That is basically what happened to me too(the thin out part)

[XxJoshbxX]

hey man... what distro are you running?

[elliotm77]

I wonder that too.

[sumfight]

Nothing Linux going on here(well on that computer) but I am rocking 7 :)

[boomingpearl]

u should have your own channel...

-.- ON TV ... i know u have one here

[sumfight]

That would be grade, but I don't see it happening :P

[tinaluvsbunny]

haha sloths... :)

[sumfight]

Well they don't move much :P

[spinnernet1]

yeah, laziness and lack of motivation are big deterrents for people when it comes excercising.

[sumfight]

True, hoping maybe this video will push a few over the edge :)

[pvampire]

Your so right Cody! Even if you eat alot of fruits and such, the sugar will not benefit you without excercise, espeically if your already diabetic. The food is simply one factor in the equation. Excercise, no matter how little is the other factor that will determine success. I've lost 85 pounds now and kept it off for over 2 years! I have you to thank for this to a great extent. I started DDR when I saw your video and still do it for my excercise! :) Not diabetic anymore either!

[sumfight]

I still remember how proud I was of you Ross when you first told me this :) and I know you probably won't believe this but I showed my mom your comment and told her it made me feel great and gave me goosebumps :)

A huge congrats still stands for you my friend :)

[iammeandthatsall]

I totally understand the thing where we "want it right now!" because i wanted to be a little more fit and to be honest, i was expecting results in an amount of time which was waaay unrealistic. Now, i just workout about an hour or two every day and im way more fit then i was expecting and i realized, it really didn't take that long =) And im loving these videos, very helpful and motivating =)

[sumfight]

Congratulations to you :)

I'm proud that you did it yourself :)

I'm also glad you said it didn't take long either :)

[BigEd08]

I've tried weight loss pills like hydroxycut before it worked a little bit but it just packed on more weight in the later days. I decided to just drink water and excercise.

what is the best way to lose 100 pounds.. 3 months? or 6 months??

[sumfight]

You want to take it off slowly, the faster you take it off, the more extra skin you are going to have

[xbendiistraw]

i learned that weight loss pills dont help at all. ppl make the pills saying its gonna help you lose weight just so they can make money. (not that ive tried weight loss its just what i learned in health class) but yea im really unhealthy i cant run in gym for too long or else my heart will start to hurt for up to half an hour. not kidding. lol i told my teacher i have a heart murmor.

[sumfight]

They do nothing at all, the pills.

Maybe you need to start out really slow, a few min a day or so, and work your way up, it does not even have to be running if you hate that cardio :)

[xbendiistraw]

thanks ill try it!

[sumfight]

Good luck :)

[MrProgrammableSoda]

Thank you so much for your videoclips, they brighten up my day and I can tell you that I have lost 84 pounds in just over a year and I have never been healthier and feel good about myself for the first time in a long while. So thank you Cody for your videos/vlogs.

[sumfight]

You are so very welcome :)

And a huge congratz goes out to you and your weight lose :)

[torinissic25]

You look muscular Im guessing you work with weights?

[sumfight]

I do, not big weights, but small free weights :)

[rockhererap]

This is helpful for a lot of people, but unfortunately I'm in the minority of people who have a hard time gaining weight. I've been underweight my whole life, and to the people saying eat more that doesn't work. Perhaps maybe you can try to think of ways for the people who have a very very fast metabolism to gain weight. It's great that you're giving advice and health tips to everyone, but is there any way you can help me?

[sumfight]

I've never thought about it from that way before, I'll have to look some info up on that before I can write anything, I'll try, but it might be a while :P

[rockhererap]

Not many people hear about this sort of problem, because I'm in the minority now. My voice is quieter than it once was, because of how big of an issue obesity is now. Thank you so much Cody, you're such a great person for helping everyone.=)

[sumfight]

No problem, I can honestly say I was really shocked when I read your comment :P

[jbroad3]

right there with ya. the only way we can gain weight really is to build muscle.

[00theoutsider00]

cody before u were saying your like 120pounds. but how tall are? cause isnt 120 to skinny for a guy?

[sumfight]

I am right on the boarder of healthy and underweight I'm about 5 foot 10 inches

[00theoutsider00]

wow slightly depressing cause im a girl 5 feet and 7 inches and i weigh 125 pounds. so im just gonna need to looose like 20 pounds immediately * eye twitch* O.o xD no bbut yah. how long do u think it would take to loose 10- 15 pounds? cause i eat healthy and do ab work out everyday but clearly im not getting anywhere.

[sumfight]

Abs are great for one thing, abs, you need to step up your cardio if you want to lose the weight. But other than that, it sounds like you are doing everything else right :)

[00theoutsider00]

kk thanks cody :)

[sumfight]

No prob :)

[twilieful]

you dont need to loose any weight! gawsh you're a toothpick! o.o

[00theoutsider00]

you mean me? the 5'7 125 pound girl no nono just 4 months ago i was like 113 pounds. so clearly theres something wrong with that O.o or were u talking about cody cause he is the one whose like thin. he is 5'10 and 120 pounds and he's a guy and im shorter, a girl and i weighmore. so clearly there is something wrong with my weight o.O

[DeathOfLadybugs]

Uhmm, maybe not, depends on how big your boobs are :P heh

[sumfight]

There is nothing wrong with your weight :P

And technically I am 125ish :P

[VampiricKittyNinja]

Ahh definately. I decided to join the Raiders team in ROTC, and its helping a lot.

It really is a lot of fun too.

[sumfight]

Very happy to hear :)

Good luck with that

[iceblitz]

nice keyboard same as mine haha and yeah i agree with you about the exercise thing for me i say okay im gonna exercise tommorow and usely i never do i dont really need to lose weight but i would like to be able to run and not be tired out in like 30 seconds rofl

[sumfight]

The good old g15 huh?

Maybe start training on running, just work on a little each day, increasing how much you run every week or so :)

[iceblitz]

yeah i gotta start doing that main problem is its been raining every day for the past month

one of the downsides of living in washington lol

[sumfight]

Dude, I hate rain, but here it will be snowing before soon too :(

[xthatoneguyx]

hahha i live in washington too puyallup

[wizart49]

i also watch what i eat.

[sumfight]

A very big factor in staying health as well :)

[wizart49]

thanks i still want to loose about 20.

[sumfight]

Considering you have already lost 65, I think this is the last small stepping stone you have to your goal :)

Good luck

[wizart49]

this past march i started on the treadmill,when it got warm out i started to walk in our small town.i walked 2-3 miles a day. than i got on the rails to trails path. walked 4-5 miles a day. a few 10 miles .the longest was 12 miles. took 5 and a half hours.i did not stop to rest. was not tired. now i walk in the mall . lost 65 pounds so. last year i could not walk 100 yards without having to set down. winter will be a test for me. i plan to get to the mall as much as i can. i feel great.

[sumfight]

I'm so happy for you Don :)

You have really done a lot to lose that weight too :)

[Davyc712]

what kind of routines would you recommend?

[sumfight]

This is what I do myself every other day

DDR Song, 30 Push ups, DDR Song, Lift a 25 pound weight 70 times with each arm, DDR Song, 30 Push Ups, DDR Song, Lift a 25 pound weight 70 times with each arm, DDR Song, 30 Push Ups, Followed up by P90X Ab Ripper X

[Davyc712]

Nice, might have to buy DDR now lol. I tried it before, did horrible lol.

[sumfight]

It takes a little while to get used to, but you pick it up fast if you keep at it :)

[PimpMatt0]

I have a high metabolism but it's still good to exercise daily :)

[sumfight]

I too have a very high metabolism and you are very correct, still it is great to work out :)

[adamh1399]

would you recomend water?

[sumfight]

Yes, water is a must :)
