Joe Rogan Experience #559 - Keith Weber

the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day
keith weber ladies and gentlemen finally we meet i've worked out to your voice
many times your
sleek athletic body on the beach slinging kettlebells making people work out
along and we got you on the
podcast man i've been talking about your videos for i don't know how long i don't
even know where
i found it i found it somewhere online you know i was looking for some video to
work out to and it's
just it was so badass you know that i just been we started selling it on it.com
became like our
best-selling dvd you were constantly out of stock because we were selling them
out for you but uh
it's fucking awesome video man so it's good to have you on thanks for having me
joe it's amazing
to be here what's the book you got notes and shit well i thought i should just
in case i forget
something what what was what would you want to bring up that you like had to
write down
uh well you know i like i thought i'd be really nervous and i thought maybe
there'd be some
important stuff i forgot about uh there's some parts of the video that are
really hilarious that
i didn't want to forget to mention because i've looked on the internet about
some of the comments
people put and most of them are actually positive the ones i've read and there's
a few uh that are
quite hilarious especially then the most hilarious ones are obviously the
negative ones so um yeah if
you can get the closer you can get to this thing the better because it's uh it's
very directional
oh yeah yeah there you go um yeah you're always gonna get negative comments man
no matter what
especially if it's a workout dvd this workout's too hard i'm not a meathead i'm
just someone looking
to be fit i don't like the way he works out he tells me what to do i got sand
in my eyes when
i did his workout on the beach um the beach is a good place to work out though
because you get that
feeling like of humbleness like you're you're connected to that ocean behind
you and you know
you also just the roar of the ocean and of the feeling of the sand and it's a
great like surface
like it's a super good surface to run on you know if i think more people live
by the beach we'd have
a nicer sweeter world i agree uh the thing that blows me away whenever we we
always go on holidays
at least two or three times a year to a tropical place because my wife and i
and the kids love the
beach powerful white people powerful white privilege three times a year
vacation there's a story behind
that but okay um and when i see people running down the beach with running
shoes i just want to
tackle them and fix their feet you want to fix their feet yeah because feet are
fixable um what's wrong
with most people in running shoes running shoes just bad for you uh i wouldn't
run a marathon without
running shoes like that would be crazy because of the pounding well yeah you
know have you ever read
the book uh chi running or uh born to run anything like that no i've never read
anything on running
because there was a great comic named bill hicks who used to make fun of jim
fix the guy who uh the
running books right because he was like what are you writing about left right
left right done faster
faster i i yeah it's amazing because we're in venice beach right now and a lot
of people run in venice
beach and i totally get why runners get a bad rap sometimes because a lot of
people are running that
really shouldn't be running like in what way they're not strong enough they're
just not in shape enough to
be running yeah like and you really need to have a lot of strength to run
properly and really like
in what and how so like if you would take someone and they were thinking about
starting out a workout
routine you would not recommend just running never never really interesting
what would you recommend
uh i i wouldn't even recommend kettlebells right off the get-go unless you know
what you're doing and you
have a good trainer right uh i would recommend someone that's just fresh off
the couch and they
don't want to hurt themselves find somebody that can teach you how to do some
compound lifting uh learn
how to do squats again learn how to do deadlifts properly maybe learn how to do
a pull-up maybe learn
how to do a push-up properly um all those basic old-school exercises are so
powerful do you want do you deal
often with people that are starting from scratch because that seems to me to be
a very daunting
proposition for some folks who have been kind of couch potatoes their whole
life and then all
of a sudden they're like you know what god damn it i'm going to get fit i
really want to do something
like i have a buddy who's really big and uh he's been telling me lately he does
a lot of shooting
competitions like he does like uh like uh those tactical things where you run
through a maze and you have
to shoot at targets but he's too big it's like god damn it i gotta lose some
weight
but i could tell it's hard to just start doing that it's hard to just change
your lifestyle we
have patterns that we fall into you know you got your average everyday pattern
you get up in the
morning you eat some unhealthy shit you go to an office you sit in the cubicle
whatever you do
it's really hard to say today after work at 6 30 i'm gonna go and do jumping
jacks and push-ups
and chin-ups and i'm gonna get my shit together exactly and honestly that is
the main impetus for the
video in the first place and i come across people that i treat all the time
that are keith i want to
get into shape and you know how do i do it and that that's what i do love about
the kettlebells
in a perfect world i would have them learn how to do the compound lift slowly
but the kettlebells
provide the same idea same movement patterns without having to put a bunch of
weight onto your body right
it's amazing the inertia and the momentum created by these things so um yeah it's
uh so i do get a lot of
people in my kettlebell classes that are starting fresh like amazingly um the
women that come usually
it's women i don't know why it's uh guys don't like to go out of that comfort
zone maybe you think
that's what it is well maybe just a handsome guy with long blonde hair and
chicks looking to hook up
you see you and they go weber the son of a bitch i need to get him to teach me
how to work out and work
my way into his life no i don't think that's what i don't think that's what i i
honestly think women
have a different mentality i have a buddy i run hills with just out a couple
blocks from our house it's
a perfect hill if you bust your ass it'll take you about two hour two minutes
20 seconds to get to
the top like that's absolutely giving it everything you have so it's kind of
the perfect length of a hill
kind of taps into that mid-range uh energy system and there's mornings every
morning in the summer
there's a group of women at this playground nearby at 6 a.m like 20 of them
doing boot camps and and
push-ups and burpees and things like that you'd never see 20 guys doing that at
least i haven't you
would if they were in the military good point that'd be probably it but yeah
like just on their own will
and desire to be in good shape most guys unless they're professional athletes
if they're just the
average guy that wants to look good and you know be like that guy in the
fitness magazine they uh they
don't like being in public almost i think oh i see what you're saying like
women don't mind working
out at a park like getting all together and yeah they love that yeah well it's
more they're i think
they're a bit more social than us a little more social so um goes back to the
hunter-gatherer thing
or something right it probably gatherers they sat around and talked while the
hunters are out being
really quiet sneaking up on shit i've heard that i don't i don't know if it's
true but yeah they talk a
little bit about that in the book born to run yeah even as a non-runner i i
recommend that book to
everybody because it's uh it will make you want to try running and running uh
on the beach should be
done barefoot i believe so yeah yeah that's the way we're all supposed to run
anyway right we're not
supposed to run the way most people think because of those running shoes that
you're supposed to go
heel first right because they've sort of changed people's gates with these
shoes with this big fat pad
near the heel which is really unnatural correct like the way the foot is
designed you're supposed to land
on the ball of the foot and the foot is actually supposed to act as a bit of a
shock absorber to
slowly decelerate your weight and that is how a natural gait is supposed to be
performed when you're
running right yeah um and there's actually there have been studies done where
they've taken people and
they've blindfolded them and looked at their gait patterns and then they've put
these big runners on
and they have a very similar gait pattern it's almost like you take away that
sensory ability of the
all those thousands of nerve endings in the bottom of the foot to actually feel
what's going on so your
body subconsciously puts the brakes on it makes you heel strike yeah it's a
that the heel strike thing
really didn't happen until what it was like the 1970s or something like that
when they came out with
those running shoes isn't it amazing that they they virtually change the entire
country or really all
over the world the gate of people when they run by putting a big fat pad on the
heel like we never
had that before no and it's uh it does it creates a terribly unnatural gate um
and it leads to a lot of
injuries but there are a lot of people that even if they started running in a
perfect scenario with
the right shoes and everything if they're not strong enough uh there it's going
to lead to some problems
that really is important and it's one of the things that i always stress when i
talk to people about
the on it.com products that we sell the kettlebells or the like the steel clubs
things along those lines
i'm like please just start slowly men don't want to pick up an 18 pound kettlebell
like boy
fucking bitch i can work out with more but your your video with a 35 pound
kettlebell kicks my ass
just 35 pounds you think that's not that big it's like a four-year-old you know
yeah like if you can
carry for women carry four-year-olds in their arm you know my wife carries our
four-year-old all the
time she's about 35 pounds i mean that's all that is and you're you're doing
this workout and it's
in the beginning it seems like wow this is not that hard but then a minute in
you're like holy
how long is this going to be and then you realize that just one kettlebell just
one simple 35 pound
kettlebell if you follow your workout you can get an absolutely brutal routine
in yeah it's uh and it's
kind of um for me it's a measuring stick i like to use my video at least once a
month to test myself
make sure i'm not getting lazy or kind of starting to fall off the rails
because i'm just like everyone
else if i don't stay with it i can get you know a little bit lazy yeah
everybody can if they don't
have some sort of a goal right yeah that's one of the cool things about your
video is just you have to
keep up with it like i i bought a bunch of videos before that were excellent
like maxwell has a bunch
of videos and mike mauler has a bunch of videos mike mauler is very much into
technique and in showing
the fundamentals of the movements and things along those lines but what i
really liked about yours is just uh
you have to already know that shit and it's just hardcore ready go let's do
this and that that was
the big thing when i first started doing kettlebells uh i think in 02 i think i
took their for their
second instructor's uh course with dragon door um yeah there weren't any videos
out there that just
for people that knew what they were doing and so i had i bought every video in
the book and i
shouldn't say that there were a couple that were uh for people that knew what
they were doing but they
were
