As a family medicine doctor I see patients for fitness-related care all the time. I decided to put together a list of some of the most common mistakes and pitfalls my patients deal with as they begin their fitness journeys. Today we talk about all sorts of stuff, such as the impact of your diet, the myth of spot reduction, gym fails, supplement use such as protein, creatine and pre-workouts, aggressive personal trainers, the truth about stretching, the importance of weight lifting, and the incredible value of recovery. Let me know how your fitness journey is going down in the comments!
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

Daddy noel says dynamic stretching is better for before a workout than static stretching. Dynamic is movement-based and static is just holding a position. Is that true?
In middle school I was doing a sort of test to see if my muscles improved by trying to in crease the weight on the bar and I put too much weight and leaned forward and it rolled onto my neck and over my head, I now have a crooked neck. I near to go to a chiropractor because it has ruined my neck for so long but I’ve never had time to go.
I hate that I wasted 3-5 years following bad training routines. I don’t feel like putting more time into it, but i still do, but I’m less motivated from time to time

Hi doctor Mike. Exercising for 1h30 min or 1 hour at least like abs and Cardio is too much? this can affect my muscles growth in recovery days?
I don’t know any compound weight movements. Gotta look into that.
i liked this video!
Being a B.S kinesiology major and now an RN BSN, I encourage physical activity for my patients. EXCERISE IS MEDICINE! Depending on the acuity of the patient and there mobility I love to teach them about exercise. The hardest part about explaining the benefits of exercise and mobility is explaining the ways that the person or the patient can learn to enjoy it. So many people have personal trainers to help them lose weight but are these exercises really going to have them adhere to an exercise regimen in the long term? Sadly no, which is why we need to educate and encourage a personalized regimen for everybody so that they aren’t exercising for the sake of losing weight, but so they can feel better and enjoy feeling better.
Doc, YOU´RE ONE OF THE BEST YOUTUBERS!!
I searched "working out in flip flops" and this was the first result.
How come like every video he makes is like an infomercial lately?
What in God’s name are you benching
the thing that drives me nuts is that you are supposed to do weights slowly and be in control of the weights at all time not slamming it down on the ground or letting it drop. This is just as much for the person’s safety as everyone else’s not to mention respecting the equipment (weights will crack).
So here’s a question… when I really hit my abs with frequency, I DO get really toned abs, but when I don’t they get soft, even if I’m not eating differently or working out less in general. What’s the deal, if spot reduction doesn’t work, why does it… somehow work?

Where is coach Greg Doucette
Is it different using body weight instead of weights as strength training?
Mike, eat a handful of fresh or dried cherries immediately after your workouts; cuts the delayed onset muscle soreness in half.
In regards to "too hard too soon";
Obviously I’m not gonna argue with this point. Obviously you shouldn’t work yourself too hard to the point of being sick.
But at the same time, and I do understand it depends on the circumstances, ‘getting tired’ isn’t bad. For example; a while ago I hadn’t been working out quite as much, I was still working out, just not the same amount due to being away from home nearly all of summer.
So shortly after I got back home, on my workout day, I decided to do one of the premade workouts routines I do from time to time. At the end of that routine; I was panting, I was sweating up a river, but as I laid down catching my breath, in between those breaths I let out small laughter’s through smiling lips. Because it just felt great to have pushed myself again, and if that’s a motivator for people that’s great, as long as it doesn’t go too far.
A great way to look at it, I feel, is:
Work out, don’t work yourself out

Where is peeewwpp
I sprained my intercostal muscles just turning to pick something up. It was terrible I felt like the wind had been knocked out of my lungs. I was in pain for a month.
hieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee jojojojoj
"oh cool" *keeps eating barbecue chips* "I’ll definitely take these into account"

Great, helpful channel!
1:21 How many of you noticed that’s KSI
Question for Dr.Mike ; I don’t like some foods and as a result i have lack of some nutrients. is it ok to replace missing foods with supplements ?
So true I did circuit training with football trainer worst part was running with kettle bells at fast pace I kept telling him I’m on inhalers I need a rest he said no keep going then had an attack couldn’t breath my body was so sore next day I couldn’t straighten up to get out of bed
I’m just relieved that I don’t overdo it, just the right amount of exercise and food intake, rest too
If you want to lose weight just go calories in, calories out,do lots of cardio, exercise and eat low calorie high density foods and good recovery. Plus who the fack take pre workout after the workout? You take pre workout to give you the energy boost you need for your workout. Gee
Excellent video! Very well done!

Bro moved 265 like it was nothing ☠️
I been working out for years. I’m a little bigger than before not much but my goal isn’t to get big. My goal is to get better and I want to run a marathon one day. When I started out I couldn’t run a mile now I run 10. I do strength training but to get stronger not bigger cause I love running and weights help me. I’m getting a vasectomy soon and won’t be able to do much til I recover and that sucks. I had to take a couple weeks off when I got tattoos so it would heal and look good so I can do it again for this.
But what if my schedule let me sleep for dot 6 hours and then travel to work for 1 hour up amd down then work by sitting in front of pc for 7 hours
What is the recommended frequency and duration of exercise per week for a beginner?
