00:00 fitness goals is when I walk down the beach I look better than the 30 or 35

00:04 year old guy that's walking down the beach like the cock of the walk. I want

00:08 to make sure that I look better than all these other guys around here.

00:13 Yeah this is the Crippler. This is my main machine for running people off.

00:26 Workouts have different intensities and different lengths and different there's

00:30 different strategies to get the muscles to grow or to maintain size especially

00:35 when you're 69 years old. Almost 70 brother. You always start out with high

00:39 reps so you kind of warm up the area that is vulnerable like in my case the

00:44 elbows. The first set to do like 30 reps or 40 sometimes 50. It's just for the elbow

00:49 protection. Every time you do every exercise always start with a lighter

00:53 weight because it's a different angle. That complete tension. Don't stop. Just

00:58 keep the movement and focus. Think about the exercise. Now I want to do alternate

01:03 dumbbell curls. Slowly curl one and then you curl the other one. Two, two. Inhale

01:12 exhale on the way down. Squeeze. Feel each repetition. Hammer curls. 20 pounds there

01:18 and maybe do some 25s and maybe some 30s. A great complement to standard bicep

01:28 curls. I do my cardio usually very early in the morning before Undisputed which

01:36 empowers me. It gets my endorphins flowing. It gets my adrenaline up. I want

01:41 to go over four miles on Tuesday and then Thursday a little harder I want to

01:46 go over five miles so I'm gonna go up around six-ish miles per hour. Saturday

01:51 I'm gonna be between six and seven for an hour and then Sunday my goal is to go

01:56 over six miles on the treadmill. For my stage and age that's pretty hot running.

02:01 Get on a treadmill for 10 minutes. Do some cardio to warm up the body because

02:05 you could be in Omaha, Nebraska. You could be in Chicago or North Dakota where maybe

02:09 it's like 10 degrees. Make sure that you warmed up. Then you begin your different

02:14 exercises. Tricep extension exercise. There's no different than when you do

02:20 squats. You warm up the knees or when you do that if you warm up your lower back

02:24 and all this. It's always important to warm up and then cool down. For me it's

02:28 not about working out with the heaviest weights. It's just I try to move as fast

02:33 as I can from one exercise to the next. The overhead pulls for the triceps. I'll

02:38 do three sets of those. I do my weights after the show and it's a way to release

02:46 and unwind and also to prepare for the following day's show. Put no swing into

02:52 the form. A complete isolation. Three, four. I feel that all isolation. It's not about

02:59 the weight. It's how you do it.

03:03 Let me do more. There you are. You want for mommy. Son of a bitch.

03:13 [Laughter]

03:17 See when you have a good training partner he can inspire you to do the extra four

03:23 strips. Front press. Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. And hold it up there. Hold it up

03:41 there. Hold it and then slowly down. Slowly down. Yeah get the burn. Think

03:47 about the growth of the front deltoid. Yes. So many people make little

03:52 mistakes when they exercise and then they wonder why am I not growing? Why am

03:58 I not progressing? But they do the exercise the right way. But you do it from the

04:03 beginning to the end. One nice motion. You can really tell that it goes right into

04:08 the deltoid. Real deltoid exercise.

04:16 That was a set. Today I did the front press, lateral raises on a machine.

04:22 Real deltoid exercise. So we can cover the front, the side and the real deltoid.

04:27 Just like in the good old days. But in the old days we did like 30 sets for

04:31 short. Now I do 15 sets. To end every weight workout I do a five minute plank

04:37 which I despise. But I find it's the single best ab workout and I find it

04:45 imperative that you have something to occupy your brain which will tell you to

04:52 stop after 30 seconds. I often end up doing these with some game on either TV

04:58 or my phone and I try to get lost in what's happening in the game. Yoga saved

05:06 my life quite literally. After shooting Avatar I was big and I looked really

05:11 strong and I was strong and I was as brittle as could be. I really had

05:16 overextended myself and I couldn't lift my left arm above my shoulder. A very

05:21 fine trainer named Jade Alexis said to me you're coming with me to Bikram

05:26 tomorrow. I said what's Bikram? She said it's a form of yoga. I went I don't think

05:30 so. I'm not a yoga guy. She said you're coming with me and I did. I went with her

05:34 the next morning five minutes into class. I was cursing at her saying I'm never

05:38 coming to this again. I went the next day and I've been doing it for the last 12

05:43 years. I mean for my age I have really you know good flexibility. I can go in

05:49 all kinds of directions, do all kinds of stuff that I could not do 10 years ago.

05:56 I train three or four days a week and if I'm training hard I do 500 free squats,

06:02 try to do 200 push-ups, try to do sets of 100 crunches. An airdyne bike

06:07 which I think is one of the most difficult pieces of cardio equipment,

06:11 5,000 meters in 10 minutes. Well starting on a Monday I'll do chest and back.

06:15 Tuesday I'll do shoulders, a lot of cardio, ab work. Wednesday do it thighs and

06:20 tris arms. Thursday I'll do legs of course and then I may take a day off. I

06:27 work out pretty much every day. I consider working out every day. If I

06:32 don't work out during the day that's a choice that I've made because I'm tired

06:37 or because I'm really busy with something else but I regard it as part

06:42 of my job. My fitness goals now is when I walk down the beach with my girl Sky

06:48 and my shirts off I look better than the 30 or 35 year old guy that's walking

06:54 down the beach like the cock at the walk. I want to make sure that I look better

06:57 than all these other guys around here because this is my beach brother. The goal

07:01 of fitness for me is quality of life. When you pass 70 which I had just have

07:06 you know you become kind of aware of your own mortality and I'd like to

07:10 extend the quality of my life for as absolutely as long as possible. Working

07:15 out is a big part of it. If I never bodybuild, if I never weight trained I

07:18 wouldn't be where I am now because this kept me alive. This kept the fire in me.

07:22 This made me very passionate, very self-competitive. I don't compete with

07:27 other people. It's all about competing with yourself. Be the best you can be

07:30 because having that, being the best you can be, your personal power that's

07:34 powerful. That moves mountains, personal power, passion moves everything. You are

07:39 what you do working out. It's the essence of health going forward. It's the

07:45 essence of durability and lasting in life. So in the end just remember that

07:53 working out to me and for you is life. If you want to go to the gym every day and

08:00 you want to work out every day and do a bike ride every day and do the training,

08:03 whatever training it is, every day, then you roll out of bed and you don't think.

08:06 Most important thing is don't think, just do. There's a time to think and there's a

08:13 time to do. So you roll out of bed, put your clothes on and you go. You get older

08:18 you have to get your second wind. No matter how much you warm up until you

08:23 get your second wind, you got to see your way through it. Because when you get

08:26 your second wind then all of a sudden your confidence comes back to you.

08:30 You're comfortable with yourself. I mean it's amazing. When you train it is not

08:36 just that your body gets pumped up but it's also your mind and you have a much

08:40 more positive kind of outlook on the day and on life. When you have already had a

08:45 pump behind you or a bicycle ride or a run or a tennis match or whatever you

08:50 sport you do. You got to get this out of the way because then you feel good for the

08:54 rest of the day. Everything is kind of like looking through a dark glasses

08:57 versus looking through a regular glasses. You know it's like everything looks

09:01 brighter.
