Where’s Jeff Cavalier of AthleanX
Hey Rod, thanks for letting us know! I’ll let our team know to check those guys out
A great article that is always open on my browser. With us being in Lockdown 3.0 here in the UK and no doubt other parts of the world, does this list still stand or are there any others worth adding or who have snapped the top spot?
Sorry, I couldn’t get the comment link to work, so put this in response. I do have one response anyway, none of the 3 top guys I have been following on YouTube was mentioned, including Athlean X. I was browsing around looking for info on training and saw this article. So I clicked the links and found out one of the top five, Senior Fitness or whatever, is already defunct and the link doesn’t work. I did find a guy that reviewed one of those in this advertising link, and he pretty well shook up my feelings about the trainer called “Jacked Up George Bush”. After listening to the review complaints, which linked up to the workout being reviewed, he was correct. The math didn’t add up unless Mark meant 5 minutes of work out and not accounting for warmups, cooldown, rest breaks in the 5 minutes. Even that being said I totally agree with the reviewer, 5 minutes is not gonna change much, if anything, on your body. Since 2018 I have lost 60 lbs using my bicycle, power walking and lately running, in fact I had trouble walking any distance in 2018 and in 2021 I have run four 5Ks and been under 30 min’s for the last 3 races. That cardio stuff plus an hour in a combination of: ABs, strength, power tower, and dumbbells. PER DAY I am spending about 3.25 hrs working out; I am 64 years old and retired in April. If not retired it would be 1.0-1.5 hrs a day max and I wouldn’t be racing.
