A.B.C. 002 STRENGTH 001 Intro

[katemonstur]

man, you keep talking about using our bodies more... and it's the last step really, in my self-affirmation process... to finally have a healthy body. I think I'll watch a vew more videos and hope for more encouragement!

[AdvocatusDiabolii]

simply awesome... :) you're one of my inspirations for 2012. i hope the world doesn't end so I can improve myself for a bit longer :)

[PhysicsKrikke]

@JMEMantzel

I understand the food part, but what's your opinion on eating some donuts? :P

[andrewroth81]

this may be the most motivating thing I've seen

[DrGreenfun]

i agree strength is good i totally agree with the bags i work in a grocery store and i just pick up all the bags where all the old people say "i need help with this ONE bag"

[shoseki]

*and you might have a log fall on you* I want that on a T-Shirt :D

[skreemy]

A great speaker and very motivational. Thanks

[archzeratul]

Even though most of this information wasn't new to me, I think you have somehow inspired me to try and be more active... Either that, or it's my desperation to get rid of my headaches and crappy feelings lately. So, I've started trying to make a habit of running as of 3 days ago...

On that topic, I think that's the biggest problem for most people. I've read a lot about the benefits of exercise, and I've vowed to do it often, but the lack of habit + laziness prevented it a lot of the time...

WHERE DO I SIGN UP!?

[inyolefti]

Love the red shirt.

And i completely agree. So important something as small as using stairs vs elevator, its the mentality behind it. So many people cant even bring themselves to use a staircase because they say they get out of breath at the top. PRECISELY the reason to use the stairs.

[stole]

i love this guy

[Nigglips]

this sounds strangely like a cult

[boomstick900]

@Nigglips how so?

[MrBigasslens]

4 people are not strong enough to be in ABC...

[Purtle28Patrick]

i have wondered this for a while now.

Why metal chainlinks for wristbands?

[Laur3ntLapo]

@Purtle28Patrick

to build your forearm and biceps??

maybe...

[funkbeastbasslover]

@Purtle28Patrick I believe he uses them as constant weights. he also wears chain mail. yea he's awesome

[GarothThorp]

@Purtle28Patrick helps him stay fit by just doing ordinary stuff. Pretty old idea.

[sp4zzpp2]

aye mister!

[8DoverNJ]

Right on Jamie!

[JingleJoe]

The atoms and molecules that your body is made of, were in the food you ate yesterday. You are made of the things you eat, so if you eat crap food you become made of crap.

This knowledge is what makes me eat properly and thats one of many things keeping me a degree and a half above perpetual anxiety :)

Carry on the good work old sport!

[fatback2]

Oprah says, "read a book" and I turn the channel.

Dr. Phil says, "Get over it!" and I get under the covers.

JME says "get strong!" and I jump out of my chair, put on my shoes, and go for a hike with a backpack full of rocks!

Thanks for the real inspiration. You are my new favorite superhero.

[boomstick900]

@fatback2 fuck yeah dude!

[ramalama246]

Earthsuit. You're awesome!

[TheBadncboy34]

THANK YOU JME! very inspiring... keep it up. { : . )

[LOLJesus1]

Great words of wisdom, Jaimie!

[MrRiceowlex]

Where is the giant laser ??? I want to see the GIANT ROBOT terrorize the hillsides and all the local inhabitants....

[dirtTdude]

i'm strong, i build... therefore i am.... adventure building is a state of mind , an attitude... a lifestyle

[ultrajosua]

JME please introduce us to Aurora! We've heard her in the last few second of the vids! And noo it's not tooo cute to show her. 12:53 Stop hiding her!

[TheMaliciousMonkey]

Lmao 2 dislikes... Who could possibly dislike JME.

[Nizthemighty]

Inspirational and insightful, as always! Thank you!

By the way, does anyone (including Jamie) know how long the t-shirt takes to ship usually? Just wanted to make sure that mine's on the way.

[deorwirth]

Really liking the ABC J-Dawg!

[scancool]

I think the center logo of the shirt would look better if it was an electrical outlet,

[Loki95531]

Lots of awesome advise. Thanks for a great message to hear this morning. I went for a 2 hour walk in the desert this morning to take pictures of the fresh snow! yes! have fun! more great advise!!!

[ArchNME]

Thumbs up if you want to see jme wrestle a bear!!

[TheScandinavianOne]

2 people were too weak to like this video.

Seriously though, great video! I do walk all the time since that's the way I prefer to get around and I often make excuses to go out for a walk.

You can put this time to good use to. Bring an audiobook to listen to while you're on the move and you'll learn something new for example. :)

[HeatedUnderwear]

I walk to work!(45 minutes) and walmart(1 hour) I can't drive and half the time don't have bus fair and the other half I don't bother riding the bus

now I wanna go for a walk threw the neighborhood before I play my videos games

[jipasd]

I really hope this opens someones eyes. I've already been trying to eat more healthy and exercise and it DOES help. Especially here up north when it's all dark, you just get crazy lazy and tired if you don't eat properly and move.

[jujututu]

hey dude you are such an inspiration to me. i am 40+ and all your advise is dead on for any age. god bless, juju

[greenteen85]

I tell people you are what you eat all the time. Oh you're buying crap for lunch? have fun being made of crap.

[TheScandinavianOne]

@greenteen85 People tell me that I'm sweet all the time and they're right. :P

[robiniroven]

im eating chips and siting down while watching this vid lol

[deadlyglitch]

Video summary: Build giant robots out of bananas.

[jacebigelow]

Great advice - neat shirt too !

[aroneous]

a lot of great messages here... keep up the great work Jamie!

[YoinkinatorX]

The reference to the grocery bags: that's totally me, I grab all of the bags at one time XD

Also, when you feel pain while exercising, you have to decipher whether or not it is a "good" pain or a "bad" pain. "Good" pains mean that you're working your muscles and pushing them past their limits and will build up after they stop hurting, but "bad" pains can cause physical damage to your body. An example of a "good" pain is soreness in muscles and an example of "bad" pain is joint or tendon pain.

[Robonza]

Good stuff mate.I really need to get out of this office job.

[costavista84]

Thanks for the inspiring vid Jamie. Can' wait to see the rest.

[InspectorSnatch]

[thehilitereel]

That white pops out good on that red shirt.

[LawLZ26]

1 dislike? really? hahahaha

[TheDevilsJoker]

'If you have to pick between... Paper Mache, or... Aluminum or TITANIUM, of course you'd pick the banana!'

Brilliant :)

[syntaxerorr]

Why do you have chains on your wrists?...I hope you do not think that makes/ will make your stronger.

[derrybryson]

@syntaxerorr actually it does

[Crazyrat84]

@syntaxerorr What is you argument for that?

[cometdust69]

@syntaxerorr well if you think it doesn't ... whats the point of lifting weights at the gym ? ? ? and how about weight suits that pro athletes use .... its the same thing but with out the advertising behind the materials that are used.....

[cometdust69]

@syntaxerorr well if you think it doesn't ... whats the point of lifting weights at the gym ? ? ? and how about weight suits that pro athletes use .... its the same thing but with out the advertising behind the materials that are used..... just unconventional materials

[outwrangle]

@syntaxerorr Those chains probably weigh 20 lbs each.

It will *definitely* help build endurance. Especially when he is moving his arms around doing work or running.

[Sharkoffs]

@syntaxerorr

I think it just looks cool

[RUfistinme]

@syntaxerorr How could it not?

[sallyjones22]

are you a vegetarian? if not, where do you get your meat?

[sylvanenergy]

Hi Jaimie, just because your active and healthy and strong there are things in your body you do not have control of, so please get physicals done at least once a year my friend. Promise me!

[redrosevamp]

Nice motivational vid! I love the red version of the shirt btw :)

[jcf005]

12:52 SASQUATCH!!

[SeanzieApples]

I've spent all day watching your videos and I have been truly inspired. Thanks Jaimie!!

[pneuskool]

do you have the red shirts available??

[jcf005]

Make your life active!

[crillep66]

We must eat metal to build strong body!

[ShawnCFarm]

I want to know what you've been eating lol, because I want some to. I just brought 3 bush cords of wood upto the house this afternoon dose that count ~S~

[Meeeeuuuuh]

You are my hero man; you inspire people, live life to the fullest, have fun, and; your cool as **** !

( I kinda wanted to post this on one of your previous videos, but now it'll be more likely you'll read it :p )

[klaran]

you are awesome

[don818]

Awesome video. Also awesome chainmail 

[bad4brain]

Thx, very motivating :)

[JMEMantzel]

I have to say... 'tis a different experience planning what I'll say instead of just starting and seeing where i go. :-P

[Nardypants]

@JMEMantzel

Planning doesn't suit everybody, although you should always be planning! :D

On another note, I'm leaving for adventure tomorrow!!! Peakbagging trip alone in the woods for 4 days... I planned, don't worry!

[ASaga2]

Gotta say.. love your videos man.
