He has abs.
As least for the running he did. If you check the video, he started walking and running, as he built his endurance.
That's eating disorder tactics! I wonder how many bodybuilders have disordered eating or unhealthy relationship with food.
Honestly the other parts of the workout are whatever, but the running is easily the most impressive part
Which is sad. In this era of unrealistic media standards and body image, eating disorders, dysmorphia, you have bodybuilders and athletes lying that they're natural/"natty" and there are no side effects to their lifestyle. It's doing a number on young men.
I got a stroke, got diagnosed with high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol in the hospital, after 10 days in the hospital I radically changed my diet just so I can continue to live and improve my health and I lost 60lbs in 2 months sitting on my ass the whole time
The other stuff probably builds a lot of muscle at least. I doubt it does that much for losing weight though.
3 miles a day is really good cardio and 50 reps of pretty well-rounded anaerobic exercises would still be extremely good for you. You may not get ridiculously toned, but paired with a decent diet and calorie deficit (the usual eating habits expected with intense exercise), you'd lose weight reasonably fast.
If they're goblet squats, sure. Unweighted, squats are by far the easiest of the three exercises.
Not commenting on this person in particular, but it's uncontroversial to point out that there are benefits of heavy resistance training that a high-rep/endurance focused routine like this one won't provide. Being able to do reps with a weight equal to your bodyweight/multiples thereof on the big lifts is something that's relatively attainable for most, especially people who have been able to train and progress consistently on other routines.
I don't know that it's the worst, but yeah certainly far from optimal, in terms of progress, benefits and drawbacks. Push-ups, unweighted squats and running are all fine (sit-ups are a bit more iffy), but even keeping it simple and sticking to calisthenics + cardio you could have a much better routine by adjusting the structure and adding a few complementary exercises/variations.
From what I can make out from a Google translate and skimming the video, he made ramen using sweat collected from some women.
I'm in my mid 40's and lost 60 lbs in 2 months and walk around my neighborhood for 1 hour every day for exercise. As somebody who was active and in decent shape in my teens, 20's and 30's; I can safely say at 45 this is the most efficient my body have ever ran.
