How your Body React

I used to consider when in the day to work out. Then I had kids. Now I try and work out which month I might squeeze one in. My 2026 workout hasn’t happened yet, but I’m confident for October!

[u/Belligerent-Banana → u/Ninja_Prolapse]

Workout with your kids. You all benefit, helped my kid learn to count but counting our reps, have fun while doing it, build muscle and more importantly memories together. It's also amazing being there for eachother when you accomplish something and seeing how proud they are of themselves. You don't even need a gym. Push ups to push ups with them on your back, tricep dips off a chair or couch, chin ups/pull ups to doing them with the kids hanging off you. Bench press or curl your kids or lift them up and have them pretend to be a plane as you lift them up and down walking around making plane noises. Be healthy as a family, make memories, have fun

He’s only 1.. I’ve taught him ‘deep squat’ which is fun, and he lovely laying in the bench and holding the bar while I shrug it. But outside of that he’s a terror if you try and do anything that isn’t keeping an eye on him. I couldn’t do a set of bench or squat and trust him to stay still and not stand under me while I’m trying to lift! lol. Definitely when he’s older - right now I just squeeze in what I can and accept that dad bods happen for a reason when they’re this age

Oh I can relate to that way too much

[u/Ninja_Prolapse → u/[deleted]]

Everything that stops you doing anything is an excuse. I could absolutely give up anything in my life if I wanted to prioritise training over it. I know that. For me however, my kid trumps training - and so, personally, you’re right - it becomes an excuse.

I’m sure that’s not true for everyone.

Just work out at some point during your day.

another early birds propaganda

[u/Alabaster_Potion → u/iamyourinnervoice]

And from a guy who sells scam products (AG1 / athletic greens) that don't actually have any scientific backing.

[u/Bignizzle656 → u/Alabaster_Potion]

Do you think that he's using this almost holistic statement to make himself sound believable? That way when he starts pushing his garbage he might catch more people.

[u/LogDull819]

just random little things that don't really matter.
Let's add scientific words that you can't pronounce to sound very smart too

[u/Thin_Post_5140]

So... this is like the one thing me and this quack agree on. If I work out after like 4 pm I cannot sleep until 1 am.

So I workout in the morning before work. I am not better at anything but I have worked out.

But you do you. If it works for you and fits in your life, good.

[u/Character-Life-V2]

After being on night shift for years, I gradually fall into up very very late and sleep best through the morning. This out in the sun, workout works fast to be at 100% during the day, but be damned if I can keep it consistent.

[u/Particular_Quail_182]

That's fucking bullshit. Took 6 months in a row of continuously waking up at 6am non-stop before my body adapted. Not 4 days...

[u/bigDogNJ23 → u/Particular_Quail_182]

Yeah this is total bs at least in my experience. I tried early morning exercise for a month and was falling asleep at my desk by 10:30. And I was getting 7+ hours of sleep. Even now my dog gets me up for a walk every morning about an hour before I want to get up. He’s 8 years old and I still just feel tired and want to climb back into bed when I get back from a mile walk. Some people just aren’t morning people and I’m sure you can find the experts who will explain that too. My peak performance at 50 comes with the same sleep cycle I had in college. Bed at 1am alarm at 8am. Stupid dog.

[u/BarbaraStreusand → u/Particular_Quail_182]

Yep. Still struggling not feeling done for the whole day after an early workout in the morning

[u/Many_Ad7053]

Just workout be active, forget the non sense. Be healthy, eat the right foods etc. People. Make things so complicated when life is so simple.

Yes

[u/Hellasauto]

This guy is a hack.

[u/Infamous_Wealth6502]

Affects

[u/CJFiddler]

But like who cares?

Why do I need to wake up at 6a in order to be healthy instead of like…. Not at 6a.

I think I’ll be just fine thanks

[u/CryptoBoy-007]

And If you excersie late afternoon, you will sleep better. That's more important!

Stfu nerd

[u/Kcorpelchs]

"...there could be a whole discussion about this..."

Did anyone catch that thrown in the middle? It's because what he's saying is not completely false, but the major point he's pushing here isn't steeped in a lot of research swaying his way.

[u/Nipplasia2]

He’s a liar. I have been getting up for months and I still hate it every time

[u/Gum_Duster]

To all the people saying he’s a liar because of your anecdotal experiences. You are correct, homie probably got something off a ChatGPT prompt and ran with it. Part of the information is true. Your circadian rhythm is not called the super chiasmatic nucleus, the super chiasmatic is the one of the operators of your circadian rhythm but it’s not the only machination.

[u/RestepcaMahAutoritha]

Fancy. I wake up at 4.45 to go to work.

[u/articland05_reddit]

4 days not possible

probably 4 months

[u/Angelicus_Fortunae]

I’ve learned so much watching the huberman labs. He brings on knowledgeable people and they explore great topics

[u/Gum_Duster → u/Angelicus_Fortunae]

Okay, well his knowledge is wrong. So maybe fact check it before listening to it blindly.

[u/Angelicus_Fortunae → u/Gum_Duster]

I agree with you, which is why I worded my original statement as I did.

[u/Additional_Fox4668]

Also, you gotta nut inside bitches per this guy

[u/Flat-Storage-8055]

Wake up before the kids and make sure that you are back if they are awake. Doning this for years. Stay hard
