Jocko Reveals 6 Non-Negotiables to Lose Fat and Build Muscle Over Age 40

Here's is the shortest and most efficient summary of the video: If you want to be jacked, leaned, fit or whatever after 40... you MUST make it a LIFESTYLE. It is not a decision you make each time you go to the gym or something you try to find the time for. You ARE jacked. You ARE fit. You ARE healthy. It is a mindset that is enacted through principles that you live by. Period.

I changed my lifestyle at 57, and now that I am going to be 66 and feel better that I have in 20 years

At 56 was heading down a bad road with life in general . Woke up one morning and looked in the mirror and said enough of this nonsense! 4 year later I entered my first Bodybuilding show and never looked back . Now at 60 in best health of my life . Maintain 10% BF from 230lbs to 185 . Loving life . Thanks for all you do .

I got my mom started with CrossFit for seniors 6 months ago and it’s already made most of her nagging pains go away like sciatica and stiff knees and shoulder pain from old injuries. 3 times a week and workouts customized for her. It’s made a world of difference!! I’m excited for … my mom will be 71 and has her deadlift up to 70lbs

That Thomas, was your BEST interview in a long time! BRILLIANT... I am 67 years old... a former Ferrari... in fact that is how my aviation medical doctor described me... I trained like a maniac, loved it and excelled. Once I retired I went sailing... not a lot of activity... I also ate every thing in sight in France and drank... marvellous time but I was 225 at 5 foot 9...After two years of gluttony, sailing to the Caribbean, eating fries with everything that was deep fried I was in rough shape... Believe it or not, I had no idea that what I was doing was killing me... after all, canola oil was healthy right? Got home early 2020 for the lock down... I had to get bowel surgery for diverticulosis. A year later my left hip needed replacing. While in the hospital I read Saladino's Carnivore Code... I was horrified. 13 medical references that showed my diet cause the issues!! I was crippled by the hope operation. 3 black belts in 3 diverse martial arts and I could not walk. I adopted a meat based diet... I can't call it carnivore but darn close.... its been two years and I am climbing out of the pit... I could not walk 50 feet without agony... I bought myself an X3 and started a slow progression of training... I couldn't do 5 five squats with the lightest band... almost two years later of diet and X3 I just walked 5 miles. No pain, no limp! And the rest of my body is ripped! So ya, old guys can rebound! Never give-up!

What he said at 13:00 is what all kids need to hear instead of having smoke blown up their behinds unconditionally. Jocko for president. 🇺

A couple years ago I came to realize that when i eat junk food, I will get unbelievably sleepy in 15-20 minutes. I quit the junk food habit, and sometimes I indulge in it, but after a few bites I realize I don't like it anymore.

so glad I found this channel 6 months ago...my first 45 years I was fit... got lyme disease undiagnosed for way too long and went from 6'4 @190lbs to 250lbs (NOT muscle) I am now 56 closing in on 57 until this past 6 month because my mind was always in a fog and I had no energy! reversing the trend slowly on the scale down to 220 -- no ,more medication and only clean eating and 10k+ steps 5 days a week sometime s more

Thanks to a variety of fitness and nutrional youtubers, im 37 and ive gone down from 215 to 176. I now train 4-5 days a week and feel the best i ever have. Thanks thomas, you have helped me

Just turned 40. Had to take time off from training after a series of injuries and boy is it easier to maintain fitness than to rebuild it. Key is consistency and listen to your body to prevent injury.

I used to work out pretty consistently until a little or 40. I did 3 sets of pull ups 20 reps at the beginning of my work outs. Got back into it a year and a half ago, I couldn’t even do one pull up without feeling like I was really going to hurt myself. Now at 63 I’m back to doing 3 sets of 15 reps. It’s all about consistency.

Great show ... A great example of demostrating that basic consistent behavior is the key to performance - eat clean - workout - sleep are foundational to fitness and success .. I did not hear a single hack - short cut - or other BS about getting results ... truly exceptional content - you have a new subsciber!

I am a 60 year old retired physical therapist who specialized in sports medicine. Two years ago I jumped from our boat to the dock and landed on my feet but landed hard and I was like man my body forgot how to jump!!! When I was working I did all kinds of drills all the time with my athletes and didn't think about it. When I retired I was no longer moving like that. I still ran and lifted weights but advanced movement skills left me. So I started looking at movement training and functional movement skills and found I couldn't dead hang from a bar anymore without feeling like my shoulders were going to pull out of socket and forget transitioning and rotational movements. Needless to say I now train very differently. I still run and lift but I work heavy on functional training and mobility as well. You are so right if you don't use it you loose it. I am thankful for that day I jumped and landed hard it was a wake up call

Older people get out of shape due to not working out and eating to much. I'm 65 and found this out. Once you start working out and eat better you get right back in shape

Been looking forward to this interview. Jocko is so well spoken.

I've been waiting for this one!!!! Looking forward to the convo.

In my mid 40s and since i got back into training (solely for functional strength and functional fitness) just over 3 months ago, after over 5 years off, my training motto is: Train hard. Train right. Train smart. Eat right. Sleep right. Get results. Keep on rockin'! 🤘

Hey guys, I'm 63 and work out 5 to 6 days a week with 2 days of that week being HIIT. It has made a BIG difference and the folks at work, when they find out how old I am they can't believe it. The only thing I struggle with occassionally is eating. For the most part it is controlled, but some times I let it go. Have not figured that one out yet.

Great insight from you both, thanks for sharing!

I will be 60 in a month. I’m 6’2 and I just weighed in at 194 lbs. Three and a half years ago I was 300 lbs and could barely climb the stairs. Now I walk a minimum of 10k steps a day (often a lot more) and do callisthenics. It isn’t easy but you can get fit again at any age.
