The speaker is very passionate about exercise, nutrition and health. He reflects that in the talk.

Jason found his passion for athletics, health, and fitness at an early age. Throughout his childhood, Jason’s athletic career revolved around basketball and baseball. When he reached high school, Jason decided he would one day like to enlist in the military, which led him to focus on his increasing his overall health and fitness on a regular basis. Inevitably, his enrollment in the military did not occur. But all the training he had done in preparation for the military left Jason in the best shape of his life, and that is when he truly realized his passion for health, fitness, and endurance sports. Jason started pursing a career in the health and fitness field at a local community college, and then transferred to Rowan University, where he also ran cross-country. Juggling academics, athletics, and a part-time job as a personal trainer was difficult, but it allowed Jason to realize that balancing all aspects of life is a challenge most health and fitness enthusiasts face

  1. Poor sound quality agreed. The presentation with the engaging photos is smart. However, what this presentation misses is something new added to what everyone else is saying.

  2. Really inspiring talk Jason. It is hard to maintain a healthy, balanced diet nowadays with junk foods priced significantly less than the healthy ones. This makes it really easy for people to reach out for these unhealthy foods and have negative impacts on their health.

  3. The best american video on health ever. He just mentioned all the thumb rules which are gonna work for hundreds of years more, rather than building some intellectual theories only to be challenged the next day.

  4. a diet is for life not just to get in to a dress or look good for your holiday . Create a good eating habit and you won't even notice your doing it after a while .

  5. I do think the keto diet is a perfect diet. It just depends on whether you can find the time and effort to afford the transition phase. But once the transition is complete I imagine it would be nirvana.

  6. Everybody, please remember this, these are the basics. If you find that wheat makes you sluggish, cut it out. But you need these fundamentals first, then start making those choices. Make the small steps and find what works for you. Nough said.

  7. This works as it's how I live my life and I'm a healthy weight and have no illnesses.  Too many people try to make drastic changes which are doomed to failure.  Educate yourself about good diet and exercise (but keep it simple!), learn to cook, spend more time moving.  Yes, it's all a bit boring and is a long term plan, maybe that's why many people do not want to hear the message!?

  9. Before buying on gearbest, know that it's thieves.
    They do not repay,
    on google search for "Thieves Gearbest".

  10. Meat (grass fed/ not tampered with) doesn't make anybody sick.  I eat meat although not on a regular basis and I am very healthy.

  11. This guy is way off based when he says "meat is fine." Extensive scientific research from countless studies has shown that more than small amounts of meat (and that includes fish, beef, pork, and polutry) promotes numerous diseases and reduces longevity. For extensive documentation, read the book Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman.

  12. Thinking in terms of a lifestyle has worked for me. By lifestyle i mean and refined structure with flexible changes such as days i can eat more or variations (mostly the days i work out). Also, explaining people the physics of the body. Putting this into simple terms is about how much energy are you consuming related to the intensity of the activity you are doing (almost like relativity haha). That's the sad truth people don't want to accept. Then, after this, people start making up speculations about the psychology of the individual, which i won't deny it plays an important role in staying motivated, but cannot be used as an excuse for not achieving results (unless of course there is a previous diagnostic of a psychological disease).

    Learn the physics, think in terms of energy (thermodynamics in the body) , act, repeat…

  13. I don't have a treadmill desk but I wish I did. Even waking slow is better than sitting all day which happens at a job that is completely sedentary and where you need to be by the phone at all times.

  14. I have anxiety and depression I do work out after that I start smiling at everyone I pretty much on the good mood

  15. Morning excercisers may be more disciplined but if not just being fit but being athletic matters than falling out of bed and revving your engine will not make you better.Your body is no where near ready to improve performance 15 minutes after hugging a pillow.You can morning run for years and be in great shape.But my bet is the guy who trains after work covers ground faster.His body has been all day moving.His quality of workout on average is much better.

  16. For about 3 months I’ve been waking up at 5 am Monday – Friday and working out for about an hour and a half. It’s been great and rewarding so far.

  17. I have no problem exercising later in the day. Never been a morning fitness type. I’ve tried but then I feel like going to bed after a morning workout

  18. I always knew that people that were fit were the smartest…Like they're able to figure out so many puzzling things so easily…

  19. Does it matter when you wake up? if you sleep 8 hours and you wake up in the evening. do you still get same benefit if you go for walk right after you wake up.

  20. Great video. Energetic twice daily sex is the #1 best exercise for mind and body and sleep. Pushups #2 for body. Also go up stairs or hills.

  21. Doing this starting tomorrow waking at 4:45 am leave home at 5:20am and get in the gym before 6am wish me luck! Hello new me

  22. So true…use to think i was healthy as I was naturally slim and ate a healthy diet. Adding exercise improved my mental health 10fold!
