I couldn't be more excited about today's video, because it's a collaboration with
five other awesome Keto YouTube pals, and it's starting right now. Hi, guys. Welcome
to A.D. Keto. My name is Aaron. Big welcome to you if this is your first time on the
channel, and especially a huge welcome to you if you're coming here from one of
the other five videos in this collaboration that we've done. There are
five other YouTube pals that are all putting together some videos, so if you
like what you see from my friends, check out their channels and subscribe. So what
the six of us are going to be talking about today in this video, on my channel,
is exercise, and how we approach it. Some of us might do cardio, some of us might
do strength training, some of us might do a combination of both, some of us might
do none of that. it really is kind of a unique thing to
talk about, because everyone has their own thing. Everyone does what works for
them. So to start it off, it's gonna be Kellie, who I know gets up at crazy hours
of the morning and destroys at the gym, and then is all smiles immediately after
on Instagram. So here's Kellie! [Kellie] Hey guys, it's Kellie, also known as
@kellie_keto on Instagram, and I had to put on my KETO athlete shirt to
answer this question. So you know, I am super into exercise. If you follow me on
Instagram, you'll see that I wake up at 4:30 every day to hit the gym before
work, but my exercise has changed significantly throughout my keto journey.
So when I was losing weight, I actually started out in a CrossFit gym, and I was
going to CrossFit. Started out at three times a week, moved up to five, to six
times a week about a year in, and then I went back to university, and I started
lifting on my own. So I've gone through quite a few different lifting programs. I
did StrongLifts 5x5, I did a six-day push-pull legs program, but most recently,
now that I'm in maintenance, what I've been doing is the strong curves program
by Brett Contreras. Unfortunately, when I lost 100 pounds, I would say about 95% of
that came from my butt. So I'm currently working on
doing a very lower body-focused program, and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm in the
gym five days a week, and I'm actually gonna be going up to six in the new year,
because I'm gonna be training for a 10k run. But honestly, exercise and eating
right, in my opinion, and for me, are so, so symbiotic. You know, when you eat right,
you want to exercise. And you exercise,you want to eat right. I just feel that
combined, they just make for a very healthy lifestyle. I am NOT saying that
you have to workout if you don't want to. I'm just a very big proponent of it,
because it makes me feel so good. And in addition to that, now that I'm in
maintenance, it's nice to have fitness goals to work towards, since I'm no
longer working towards a specific weight. So it's just something fun, something
that keeps me motivated and on track with keto. I just realized, you guys also
might be interested in knowing what I take pre-workout. So I don't take any
special pre-workouts. Honestly, with keto, you don't need anything really special.
Before I hit the gym, I have no food, and I just have a quarter teaspoon of salt,
and some water, and a 200 milligram caffeine pill. So you can basically feel
colors, and you're good to go. [Joanna] Hey guys. Joanna, also known as @KetoinCanada
here. If you hear a little boy in the background, that's Carter. Sorry, he won't
leave the room. Mom problems. We're talking exercise on
keto! The first six months that I was on keto, I did not do a lot of exercise. I
would very clearly say to people that my weight loss has been 100% (at
that point) diet-related, which was 50 pounds in six
months. Sitting on the couch, for the most part. I did do a weekly yoga class, and I
did do a weekly Barre class. Which, if you don't know what bar is, it's pretty
awesome, if you're a girl. I can't really see a guy doing it. It's kind of a
ballet-related class. It uses resistance bands and very small movements. But it is
hard. It looks easy, but it's hard. in July, I started a couch-to-5k program, where I
spent eight weeks... was it July? It might have been a little bit towards the end
of July. An eight-week running program, couch-to-5k, to run a 5k run. I ended up
running a 5k run in the beginning of October, and knocked seven
minutes off my prior 5k run time, which was from when my son was younger, so
three years prior. So that was awesome. And now I've just recently got a
membership to Good Life Fitness Clubs, where I'm doing some group fitness
classes, hot yoga, and also some heavy weight lifting with my husband. So I
think once you lose the weight on keto, you start to really feel good about
yourself, and then you want to get toned. So you decide to start working out a
little bit more. But I don't do anything different when I work out. I still eat
the same diet. I am still trying to lose a little bit of weight, so that's how I
exercise on keto. Now let's check out what Scott does. [Scott] Thanks, Joanna. So to
exercise or NOT to exercise. THAT is the question.
My answer to that, and... do I exercise? The answer is no. When I started keto, I
really needed to find something that allowed me to focus on what and how I
ate. I had, prior to going and starting keto, I was doing Beachbody, and was
doing exercises, and was going to the gym, and was trying to limit my calorie count
and limit what I ate, and I was just... I was... I was tired all the time. Working, you
know, a professional job, upwards of 50 hours a week, getting home, spending time
with family, and not really focusing on my stuff until later at night. It just
wasn't working for me. I was just so tired. So I decided -- I made a conscious
effort to not exercise, and to specifically focus on what I ate, and the
ketogenic way of eating totally fit that bill, and really really allowed me to
hone in on what I ate, how I ate, even when I ate.
I take that back. I did a couple of cycling training rides. I do the MS 150
every year, which is 168-mile bike ride over two days. So I did that this year. I
wasn't gonna NOT do it, but I kept... I kept that a ketogenic ride as well, but I only
trained for that a couple of days. I should have trained a lot more. But I
didn't. So for me, it's no exercise. My son's looking to start running, so I
think I'm going to try and start running with him, and train with him. And yeah. So
it just goes to show that, you know, it is true what they say: 80% of weight loss is
in the kitchen. So get after it! [Caleb] Oh, you like my shirt? Hey I am Caleb Busie.
Instagram name right here. I'm so excited to do this collar, and I'm
really excited to answer Aaron's question. So Aaron wanted to know how we
all do... like, exercise on keto, and how it's all different. I know that he runs,
and that's really awesome. I'm not much of a runner. I'm more of a lifter. So the
the people like Goodie Beats and Jason Wittrock really stick out to me, because
they can stay so shredded, and they can be vascular, and feel awesome while also
doing keto. I would say that working out was probably the hardest thing for me to
do on keto. When I first started, my energy levels dropped, my strength
dropped, I was very upset in the gym, because I could only you know, do like
half of the workout that I was doing normally. And so I had to condition my
body differently, and so when you start getting into that, and you start doing
keto, you'll find that out. If you're a weight lifter now it doesn't stay like
that, and things change, and so take hold in that, and have hope that it's gonna get
better. But just be prepared. If you were
thinking about doing keto, if you're not doing keto right now, or if you want to
lift weights and you're doing keto, your strength is gonna be really low.
Carbohydrates DO help to improve vascularity and blood flow in certain
senses, so when you restrict carbs, your body has to do a different kind of
mechanism to try to get that. By making sure that you have your electrolytes,
that helps a lot. You can still get the normal workout pump that you like. Make
sure you have your salt. You know, I would...I take creatine, and so doing those
things really help with working out when you first start. Because it really, really
is hard doing keto and doing, you know, like a workout / exercise-type thing when
you first start. It gets better, and you figure it out, but when you first start,
it is tough. And so I want to be real with you guys and let you guys know
that. BUT: Iove keto. [Britt] I'm Britt, also known as @keto_bee on Instagram, and I
absolutely work out with keto. But I didn't start that way. When I started
keto, I didn't work out at all. I was pretty determined to lose weight not
exercising. And then eventually, as I started losing weight,
I started feeling more agile, and I wanted to work out. So I ordered an
exercise bike off of Amazon for like $200, and I started using it pretty
regularly. That led to my partner and me getting a gym membership, because I got
tired of only doing the bike, and I really wanted to lift weights. And guys, I
love the feeling of lifting weights. Of besting myself when I workout. Of pushing
myself to lift more, and for just feeling that strength in my body. Oh my gosh.
So I started keto November 2016, and I didn't get a gym membership until
September of 2017. so that's quite a few months without going to the gym. Feeling
stronger is something that is so empowering. My balance has improved since
I've been working out, and I just feel like I can bend more, and I can move more,
and I can lift more. It has been such a positive thing to add to my keto
lifestyle, and it makes me feel like I'm like, physically doing something to make
my body become more efficient, to make m body stronger. And yeah. put on those
headphones and work. Work, work, work, work, work...
That's all I have to say about keto and exercise for the day. Let's see what
Aaron does for exercise while he's on keto. [Aaron] Thanks, Britt. My exercise of choice
has long been running. I've been a runner for probably seven or eight years. I
started out really slowly. You know, I was really overweight back in about 2010,
2011, and started trying to get into shape just by running. I didn't know what
I was doing, but I started out slow. I did kind of a Couch-to-5k program, and slowly
and gradually, built my way up to being able to run a 5k with pretty... you know,
decent regularity. You know, I kept going. I had lost weight, I was feeling better
about myself, and I signed up to do the Hudson-Mohawk
Marathon, here in New York's Capital District. I finished, even though it did
feel terrible, and I swore that I would never run a marathon again. And then I
just kind of let myself go. I stopped exercising, really kind of just started
eating pizza and junk, up until earlier this year when I found keto, and
rediscovered running, and REALLY discovered what it was like to be fat-
adapted when running, which was a revelation. I suddenly felt like, even
though I was running maybe... not as quickly before... as I had done before. Like,
my performance wasn't as good as it...as it was in the past. But I felt like I
could run forever. It was crazy to have all of this available fuel
ON me, and just be able to run seemingly as long as I wanted to. These days, I try
to get out on the weekends for a long run, somewhere around 10 miles. Sometimes
I'll take it up to 13 miles, and being fat adapted is a big reason why I feel
so good doing that. I have a lot of energy, and again, I just
feel like I can run forever. But it was a slow and gradual buildup, even once I
started keto. I didn't jump right in and start running long distances. I kind of
built my way up, but it was a much quicker escalation. And you know, I told
myself I would never run a marathon again, but now I'm starting to rethink
that, and maybe I will in the future, at some point. But if you're just starting
out running, take it slow, and work your way up toward whatever your goal might
be. So that is the end of our crazy exercise collaboration. Huge thanks to my
other five pals who talked about their stuff. We put together six videos all
together, so please -- I urge you to check out the videos on each of my friends'
channels. They're each hosting one. I'm in all of them, all of them are in all of
them. It's a super-cool and fun collaboration that we did. And do check
those out links to all of those videos, and to all of their channels. They'll be in
the description below. And that's gonna wrap it up. I really hope you like this
video. Hope you liked all the other videos too.
I hope you have a fantastic day, and I'll talk to you soon
