The reason you’re probably a failure

[DizzyIzzyArt]

Can we also talk about how awful it is for overweight people to do high-impact exercises like jumping?!
For every lb of weight, there's an extra FIVE lbs placed on your joints. Low-impact exercises are better for heavier people!

I just found your content, and I'm so happy to hear another person have the same line of thinking as I do. I'm a certified personal trainer. Thank you for not spouting nonsense.

Big respect for this woman, if I fall like this I feel like I’ll be sick for a week. I can’t even do jumping, but it’s restricted by my doctors so, anyway :/

But my recovery still requires exercising.
So I go to local gym and asked about the calmest and most understanding trainer they have. After training 2 months I feel so much better - it’s some cardio and exercises, exactly like this guy described, and I feel so much better and lose kilograms without big stress and guilt. And weight even was not my first problem, problem was dangerous detaining and health issues. Also I didn’t skip even one day of training, because it’s not feel like bad place to go, and I understand that’s mostly because my trainer - he’s good teacher, and good guy.

Give yourself some time, respect and validation, you deserve healthy training by yourself or with a calm smart trainer.

Thanks for the confidence and support. Im down 50 pounds in 3 months and your content helps keep me showing up to the gym.

I did shy girl workouts and cardio for the first 6 months until i moved to the machines 😂 give yourself time to warm up with the surroundings. 😊

Perfectly timed video! I’m trying to figure out what to do for a workout with weights for the first time and this is what I needed! xx

[shabear]

I love that I've seen so many ppl being mean about it and that scares me too and makes me not wanna go but I love to see ppl being chill and given good advice

[mrsporadicsporkguy]

I gotta give her some respect. She cleared the jump just didn't hit the landing. She honestly could do it with enough practice.

[Chubbylito]

this is soooo true. people push too hard to early! the way they join these 30 or 60 day challenge is so painful and unmotivating. slow and steady. you need to love doing exercises and going to the gym.

[Falney]

If you want to do that, do steps not jumps. Doing jumps is asking for trouble.

[thatsguy]

Im actually really surprised that this was a video that was actually positive instead of just being mean and discouraging like so much of the content you see nowadays. Good on you man 😁

[Quirkney]

I have POTS, it caused me to go from being sporty to bed-bound for years until I was diagnosed. Now with treatment moving is possible again, but I have years of deconditioning to fix. I’m working on it now, but walking to build stamina, swimming, and a little weight lifting. It sucks to not just hop to doing whatever sounds fun or fulfilling, but boring steady progress will be what ACTUALLY improves things 👍

So ive got fibromyalgia and other spinal/muscle injuries in my back. I feel utterly disgusting when at a gym. I feel fat, ugly and it hightens mt paranoia.

Content like this is nice. Its a nice change and 100% gives me more confidende

[jesusguadalupe]

Im surprise that somany comments are so civil here. Thats how you know you've built a good community. Good job

[ShiloBuff]

I love what you are saying in the beginning. People are far too self concious at the gym. No real gym members care what you are doing or struggling with. Everyone there should be focused and improving themself.

[hjonkhjonksillygoose]

Thank you for helping! ❤ Stuff like this makes overweight people even more depressed and embarrassed, causing them to go out and exercise even less, stress eat, or even give up. I know because I still have a problem with stress eating and when my dad kept talking about how fat I was I didn't improve until he improved and became more supportive and now I have more supportive people around me. No matter how much I wanted to I couldn't start that first hard step without that support, and now i've done 2 years of swing dance its my second year of weight lifting. I've fallen off with my diet and cardio recently because of stress, and I know the first step forward is going to be the hardest again, but I also know that I'm going to be able to bounce back because of the support around me. This is the kind of community we need in our world and online!

[icouldjustscream]

Wow. I hope she didn't get injured. It's ok to go slow and not overdo it.

[Wolfgang-Y]

I know you mentioned a friend might be filming, but I've seen too many "personal trainers" post clips like this of their clients. Sometimes it's genuine lack of knowledge and expecting an overweight beginner to have the same ability as the personal trainer, sometimes it's marketing (a terrible before can sell a mediocre after), sometimes it's just cruelty, but it always ends with someone hurt. There needs to be more accountability for all the bad health advice both online and off.

[hundvd_]

This is exactly what I needed.
I've been to the "gym" before, but only organized classes. Stuff like yoga.
Because I simply wouldn't know what to do alone.

And unfortunately, the gym culture around here (in Hungary) is not the same as what I see from videos. People are not nearly as welcoming to newcomers (but we also don't have people recording, I guess).
Because of that, it was never really an option for me to just go in and ask around how to do stuff.

So "all you need for your [bodypart] are [direction] [action]" is literally all I needed. Now I actually have a sort of general idea, finally

[comradekitty]

😅 her knees are screaming, and mine are too from thinking about that.
