Thanks for recommending MyCopilot, I'm eager to give it a try. My challenge has always been maintaining consistency. While I'm highly motivated and push myself hard during training, I might be overdoing it. Typically, I'm all in for two months, and then I tend to lose momentum. I'm hopeful that having a coach will provide the sustained motivation I need, and I believe that following a structured plan will make a significant difference
Be careful, she forgot half the quote : "Hard times create strong people. Strong people create good times. Good times create weak people. And weak people create hard times."
@@titodel64 hmmm i think i understand your perspective, but in my opinion, rather than “good” times, “comfortable” times can create what you mean by weak (i’m assuming you mean undisciplined) people. good times from my view are times that are enjoyable AND out of your comfort zone enough to develop you as a person.
It takes a lot of courage to open up about such personal struggles. Your story is incredibly relatable, and I'm sure many people out there can relate to the ups and downs you've faced. It's inspiring to see how you've found a way to cope with depression and ADHD through exercise and self-care. We are very similar! 🐺💙
She is a rich elite who hates the average working person. ,.. their is nothing to sympathize with her when she is handed everything we hardworking folk who she looks down are not.. how about you popularize an average and average person pay family lifestyle is
@@TragickSin She gives you some valuable information but at the end, you just manage to whine and to complain. So better don’t listen to anyone you feel inferior to. Im pretty sure that‘s how you made all of your million pesos 🤠👊
Scary how you're describing my situation so accurately, down to the family debt, brain fog, social recluse, and especially not sticking to my workout schedule. If I miss even 1 day in the schedule it quickly turns into an entire week of procrastination.
That is only human. If you missed a day, do not blame yourself. That is only human. Just do the thing as soon as you can again, get yourself back on track. And sometimes your body needs rest, too, so depending on your workout and who made your schedule, rest days should even be included. No blame, everyone slacks off sometimes. It is only important to get up again and keep doing the thing.
Thanks for sharing your journey, Ruri. One thing I love in these videos is how your show things step-by-step. There is no magic, just make a plan and work hard. You've inspired me to take more action in my own life
It was 10 years ago (I was 15) I decided to start working out every day for 365 days (I did 30 mins workouts every day). That was my non-negotiable and that year changed my life. Thank you for your story❤
Take load off days every 2-3 months though or you are seriously risking a permanent injury. All you do is lift with lightweight for a week, and do stretching exercises. Trust me.
Ruri, I am on the same boat. I have been consistently been working out for around a year now. I've never taken care of myself before, never really cared. The past few years have been the hardest years of my life, yet also the most crucial. I have gone through some things that have pushed me to the point where I want to completely change my life and be the most extraordinary version of myself. Going to the gym started off slow, felt awkward and uncomfortable, etc. However, you must do uncomfortable things and push past fear to get to where you want to be in life. You either fight or you die. Your channel really inspires me to share my story on RUclips, I've faced quite a few similar challenges in life myself. If you want change, you MUST start somewhere, you have to break through any fear or bad emotions that stand in your way. What drains your potential and strength is your own self doubt. Don't listen to it.
Great video Ruri, as a person who has also struggled with adhd and depression it really resonates with me. Working out and exercising consistently really changed my life and mindset and even though I have less time to do other stuff now I feel like I have more because of the discipline and structure I’ve gained. And just feel much happier overall and enjoy life more. Really agree with you on this and thank you for sharing your story!
I didn't do it straight for 365 days but I been working out more or less consistently 3 - 5 days a week for the last 1.5 years or so and I been experiencing similar benefits. And this baby steps advice really works for anyone reading this. Maybe you cant do a 5 km run today but you sure can do a 15 minute walk and a 100m jog maybe. Keep doing that and you will get where you wanna be. I do 5 - 10 kms today but I wasn't fit enough to run 200m at the start of 2023.
after 2,5 years of being a complete gym addict I can say that I've never felt better!!! this goes for everyone who just started the gym, KEEP PUSHING!!!!!!! Progress comes with time and you'll absolutely love it 💜✨
Reality after 4 consistent years mentally dependence on the gym, voices dont go away anymore, commitment to pain, tren, anadrol, hopefully no caffein addiction
I would but university and education is consuming me and taking too much of my time and it’s feels like it’s will never end, I seriously cannot focus on gym and rest until I get rid of it first
You really nailed the feeling of exhaustion and lack of motivation that kill consistency in the gym as well as the necessary measures to avoid those pitfalls
Thats crazy. Ive started working out and jogging to fight my depression. Since, Ive been able to study properly and thus got back into learning Japanese. Which led me to your channel. Thanks for the inspiration.
My life changed when I started to view working out / exercising as MORE than just looking better. Surprisingly the biggest impact it had on me was to my mental health. Like you mentioned, it's a dopamine hit. But it also clears my head of all my thoughts and anxiety for that moment.
Wow thanks for this. The comment reminded me about the clearing my head & easing anxiety. I liked how Ruri referred to the elliptical as “walking”, because I personally hate actual walking!! Will try to find a more convenient gym so that I can go on more workouts. 😊
Great video. In 2017 I was 300 lbs. (136 kg). In the first year I dropped about 60 lbs through fasting and working out. As I progressed I dropped fasting for being more active and eventually got down to 200 lbs. (90 kg). It was very important for me to not overhaul my life all at once. I was able to make some pretty drastic changes in the beginning but not everyone is capable of that. There was a point where I was losing weight and eating a pint of ice cream every single day. Eventually I realized I was just going through the motions and not even enjoying it anymore. It's a night and day difference of where I started to where i am today with my overall fitness and life style choices and I think that what really helped is I didn't try to 180 any big changes over night I took a long road to success. I'd encourage anybody wanting to make a change to try their best every day and realize that your best today may not be your best tomorrow or the day after that. You don't need to kick all your bad habits all at once, but you should always be focused on taking the path to change your life in a positive way even if it's only a little bit at a time.
I've been working out and going to the gym for over 20 years. I always tell people who are beginners to not be intimidated because we all started the same way. Everyone's goals are different so go at your own pace. You'll eventually gain more confidence over time with consistency and determination. The gym and working out is my safe haven.
3:05 To expand on that a little more, a big reason why getting sunlight early helps with depression, is that your body is conditioned to release serotonin with light, suppress melatonin production and increase cortisol (mild stress hormone, but good for you in healthy amounts). Additionally, it will help regulate your rest and wake cycles. Consistent sleep is huge for overall mood. Great video Ruri, to go through what you had to is very difficult i'm sure. New Sub! おめでとう!
He talks about similar stuff yup! Matthew Walker is great for learning about sleep if you haven't heard of him. Why we sleep is an amazing book@@ZediBaptista
I have depression episodes and lost control over my life. Ever since I started going to the gym 3 times a week (and went on a diet) over a year a go, got myself a personal coach, I have lost 15+ kg of body fat, got a lot stronger and my stress levels went significantly down, so physical activity is extremely important when you have depression or you're close to developing this mental condition. So high 5 to you Ruri :)
I appreciate your videos for always being inspirational and motivational. You have a very charismatic aura and energy, and I'm happy to hear you got into weight training. Resistance training does so many great things for the body that cardiovascular does not. It's a wonderful way to keep yourself young and healthy. Promoting self-love in this way is what the world needs. Less pointing out the faults of others, and more focusing on making yourself well until you are radiating goodness, and helping others through your examples. Thank you for being you, Ruri.
Thanks for the support! I also struggle with depression and anxiety, and I know exercising helps cope with it, but I keep postponing it everyday, due to the lack of motivation. Listening to your journey inspired me and gave me hope that it is never to late to start. 😊
Just wanna say thank you! I have been in big rut after being jobless, completely neglecting my body. Which spiraled into feeling more shit everyday. Your vid rly popped onto my feed randomely and gave me a biggg reminder to always go outside and move / workout to feel better!
I have had a lot of male role models, and only my mother was the one woman I looked up to. But you just became the 2nd woman to inspire me to become an even better man than I am now. Thank you so much.
I’ve said this before, I find you a very knowledgeable woman 🥰 I adore you 😊 I’ve also said this before, I feel like we’d become good friends. You figured out the key to battle depression and anxiety. Workout! I started small. Now I’m at 30 push-ups and 120 weighted sit ups. And I walk 4 miles on the treadmill every weekday among other things, I’m happy 😊 even though I can’t walk unassisted on my own, yet. Bless you 🙏
I watched your video about your life story and I started crying. I was actually at work when that happened. Haha. I grew up with no parents, just my grandma. For some reason, I started to remember my childhood, as in everything that happened to me when I was a kid. Thank you for that ^_^
Ruri, your journey is the epitome of self-love and resilience. Your story unfolds like a novel, where with each chapter, you conquer a new beast, be it depression or ADHD. Your approach to fitness isn’t just a mere regimen, it’s a poetic rhythm of self-discovery and perseverance. The way you wield exercise as a tool to chisel away at life’s challenges is both inspiring and evocative. You’re not just lifting weights, you’re lifting spirits, including mine. Every sweat drop you shed carries a story, a lesson, and a motivation for us all. You’re a beacon of hope in a world that often feels shrouded in despair. Keep shining your radiant light, Ruri. Your channel isn’t just a channel, it’s a community where each of us finds a piece of ourselves in your story, and a motivation to pen our own narrative of triumph. Thank you for being you, and for sharing a journey that’s as authentic as it is motivational. 🌸💪
🔥🔥🔥🔥let go!!! Ruri this was one of the best videos I’ve watched on your channel im proud of you keep up the awesome work and keep up the good fitness journey 😎💪🏾
Long time no seen, this video made my day. I've recently started to work out and I feel all the good things you mentioned in your content. Thanks again. Take care.
Thanks for sharing your story Ruri. I'm currently trying to get more fit too, and I'm feeling more fulfilled in life, and productive too! Many of the things you said really resonated with me. Get those gains!!!
This was so relatable it's almost scary, both in regards to dealing with ADHD and depression, and also the personal journey that started with baby steps and led to things that are way bigger. Your whole channel seems to be full of gold, can't wait to explore more!
Loved that way your talking about the struggles that you're having with ur relatives n how you gone through life,Ur such an inspirational and incredible person! Id love to have the honor to sit with you n have a lovely conversation:)
its definitely true that you dont need to workout super hard but if you push past limits(physically and mentally) you can grow as person way easier than if you stayed in your comfort zone. thats why i go to the gym and train until muscular failure and go to a fighting school where i continue even if my whole body hurts
I'm so happy that I found your channel. For some reasons, listening to you calms my mind and heart. Something I can't explain. Your words bring courage and hope to my heart. I'm not sure if I have ADHD but I have the signs and symptoms based on what I researched on the web. Here in the Philippines, it's so hard to find a Doctor that can diagnose if you have ADHD or whatever it is. Whatever happens, please don't stop. God Bless you and your family ^_^
It's great to see people opening up, this was such a taboo subject in my generation! I am 48, and weigh about 10 lb more than I did 20 years ago (now 135-140lb, i'm 5'4), and I am much happier with my body now than when I was 20 years ago. I have kids and a full time desk job, and working out regularly is what keeps my sanity and keeps me going!
I used to exercise about six days a week, but not for the past couple years. I've been withering away and loosing good muscle weight. That brain fog you talk about is so true! It truly is an ADD/ADHD thing. The discipline you show to your audience is inspiring, keep it up!
Did you manage to get back to the routine? I have the same problem. Funny thing, today I've decided to start it all again. I hope Ruri's words will help me keep through the initial phase!
This is a very inspirational video. Thank you for saying, "every action you take will be a vote for the type of person you want to become". That is VERY awesome wisdom to live by. Thank you for sharing it with us!
🔥🔥🔥🔥let go!!! Ruri Thank you for sharing your fitness journey💪🏾 this was one of the best videos I’ve watched on your channel im proud of you keep up the awesome work 😎💪🏾
I had to stop working out after one year of doing so every day because of an injury and I felt my mind floating with depressed and anxious thoughts again and again during the time I couldn't move. I feel into old bad habits like chronic procrastination and rumination, all of that just to realize how exercising is now a primordial thing to keep my mind sane. anyways tnks for the video ruri I love to see you getting sponsored
I have not exercised my pilates for 3 days. After watching this video... I thought to myself that I got to get my sh#t together and just do it and stop procrastinating. Thanks for the motivation, Ruri!
This video is incredibly well made and informative. I have recently started going to the gym again and want to become disciplined in all aspects of my life. You are an inspiration to many and helping change peoples lives for the better. ❤
wow. Your words are just so genuine. Each word is really based on your practical experience. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am sure, it will help a lot of us going through similar phases in life!
Was feeling really bummed about missing a day of working out cause I'm sick (feeling like shit now as we speak) but this video really helped curb my disappointment and sort of comfort me and remind me that it's okay. Like you said, "more is better then nothing". I really needed to hear that, thank you ☺️. Also I feel your pain on almost everything you complained about as someone with ADHD, anxiety and depression as well.
As someone who has been exercising everday since I was 16 (I'm 26 now), I can say it makes a massive difference to your life. Apart from strengthening your muscles and increasing your stamina and resistance, it also boosts your metabolism, so you burn calories quicker, but more importantly, you feel more active and energetic and not lazy or lethargic. The discipline also helps you in all other aspects of your life. On top of that, you become more self-confident and proud of your body because you can see the results of your hard work. Nope, I don't go to the gym, nor do I have a lot of continuous free time. I work out in small, 5 to 10 minute sessions and do multiple ones a day, e.g. 2 sets in the morning, 2 at night. Or 1 in the morning, afternoon and evening. Flexibility is key, especially if uou are still living with your family/roommates and don't have the time, money or freedom to go to the gym and exercise. 14:00 Ironically enough, I was born and raised in Dubai, and yes, it's extremely hot because it's literally the f***ing desert. But I used to always play football everyday for 2 hours after school. Even after I started university and didn't have time, I still went for walks every morning. I would cover around 4½ km in 45 minutes. I would literally keep my shoes next to my bed at night, then wake up, drink water, poo and go for a walk first thing in the morning around 6:15 to 7 am.
i was athlete, i went through depressive "episode" since 2019 and i'm fat, i'm 6'4 and 240lbs, i'm far from obese because im strong and tall, even with sedentarism, but i never felt my body uglier. I just dont have energy to cook (what i used to love), i have no energy to sleep early because im having anxiety and poor sleep, in morning i have no energy to get up at all, i just never felt worse before, and eat on deficit and workout everyday while i dont have energy to get up seens unreachable to me and idk what to do. Any advice?
Not comparing, taking things at your own pace, having done something than nothing being still a step towards a better direction really hit home. Good vid!
Ruri, your videos are gold! I get so inspired from your content & have easily considered you to be one of my favorite people on yt. I loved the way you mentioned how much working out frequently positively affects your mental state & doesn't just focus on physical appearance or diet culture. thank you sm for this. you're a rockstar
Thank you, Ruri for making videos. Your videos are always with immense practical information applicable anytime soon. Keep on growing and thank you again for making us a part of it. Lots of Love.💙
I am so sorry for the misfortunes you have experienced at the hands of your father's family and siblings. Unfortunately, in the age we live in, such events occur very frequently, so do everything in an official correspondence, even if it is your brother, and make sure to clearly write down the expiry date and details of the agreement you have made. I hope that what you experienced because of your father's family has given you an experience regarding the decisions you will make in the future. Best regards, Ruri
I don't know if I should be scared but this video is so well timed 😭 I decided to turn my life around for good this year so i started a lot of things which included joining a gym and a lot of others stuff. 9 months in and a lot of things didn't go as planned but something I managed to stick to is wrapping my work by 8pm(coincidence??) and going to the gym 4-5 times a week. It has been such a life changer for me. After having a series of failures and losses from past 5 years and not feeling any sense of achievement, the feeling when i finally performed my first non assisted pull up after 6 months of consistent training was really awesome. Sometime around last month I started thinking how I can translate this into my life to have a better career, pursue my interest in content creation and give back to my family as I'm very grateful for their love and support throughout the shitty phases of my life. Thank you for this video, and I'll certainly incorporate the bits i learnt from this video in to my life.
I stumbled across your videos and now I'm hooked. I'm starting to watch many of your videos sharing your life stories. Many of your stories I can related to my own life. You are so smart at such a young age. Keep up the video contents as I will continue to follow your success stories.
Год назад+3
I am 20, I have been working out since my high school years. I can say that it is by far the best habit I have made in my life. I'll be honest, during my middle school and high school years, I was a mentally unstable, weak, hunchbacked, ugly, very, very insecure child, and I spent those years with depression. When I started exercising regularly and consciously, many things gradually changed positively. Working out helped me rebuild myself a lot. More mentally than physically. If I'm a little bit better than the average man now, it's because of working out. If I didn't make this a lifetime habit, I would probably commit suicide. It's that clear. I would like to add a funny moment. In my first year of high school, while I was sitting in the schoolbus with the girl I liked, middle school kids came and made fun of me, asking if I was the hunchbacked boy. Yes, I was that hunched over. I was like f*cking Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Extremely encouraging and beautifully said. I recently started watching your videos and you are certainly wise beyond your years. Thank you for what you do. I'm glad to see that you are crushing it in life despite the setbacks you and your family have gone through.

Your vid rly popped onto my feed randomely and gave me a biggg reminder to always go outside and move / workout to feel better!
I thought youtube was dead i was never getting recommended amazing videos and today I'm so happy you have a new follower Ruri
I have had a lot of male role models, and only my mother was the one woman I looked up to.
But you just became the 2nd woman to inspire me to become an even better man than I am now.
Thank you so much.
You're becoming even cooler than the person I initially admired 🎉 Thanks for all your videos Ruri! I want merch haha
I’ve said this before, I find you a very knowledgeable woman 🥰
I adore you 😊
I’ve also said this before, I feel like we’d become good friends. You figured out the key to battle depression and anxiety.
Workout! I started small. Now I’m at 30 push-ups and 120 weighted sit ups. And I walk 4 miles on the treadmill every weekday among other things, I’m happy 😊 even though I can’t walk unassisted on my own, yet. Bless you 🙏
I watched your video about your life story and I started crying. I was actually at work when that happened. Haha. I grew up with no parents, just my grandma. For some reason, I started to remember my childhood, as in everything that happened to me when I was a kid. Thank you for that ^_^
Ruri, your journey is the epitome of self-love and resilience. Your story unfolds like a novel, where with each chapter, you conquer a new beast, be it depression or ADHD. Your approach to fitness isn’t just a mere regimen, it’s a poetic rhythm of self-discovery and perseverance. The way you wield exercise as a tool to chisel away at life’s challenges is both inspiring and evocative. You’re not just lifting weights, you’re lifting spirits, including mine. Every sweat drop you shed carries a story, a lesson, and a motivation for us all. You’re a beacon of hope in a world that often feels shrouded in despair. Keep shining your radiant light, Ruri. Your channel isn’t just a channel, it’s a community where each of us finds a piece of ourselves in your story, and a motivation to pen our own narrative of triumph. Thank you for being you, and for sharing a journey that’s as authentic as it is motivational. 🌸💪
This video was not what I expected. It was so much more. Thank you, I am inspired. God bless you sweet lady.
🔥🔥🔥🔥let go!!! Ruri this was one of the best videos I’ve watched on your channel im proud of you keep up the awesome work and keep up the good fitness journey 😎💪🏾
🎉🎉❤
now watching your video is part of my routine. Love your content.
Long time no seen, this video made my day. I've recently started to work out and I feel all the good things you mentioned in your content. Thanks again. Take care.
Thanks for sharing your story Ruri. I'm currently trying to get more fit too, and I'm feeling more fulfilled in life, and productive too! Many of the things you said really resonated with me. Get those gains!!!
This was so relatable it's almost scary, both in regards to dealing with ADHD and depression, and also the personal journey that started with baby steps and led to things that are way bigger. Your whole channel seems to be full of gold, can't wait to explore more!
Loved that way your talking about the struggles that you're having with ur relatives n how you gone through life,Ur such an inspirational and incredible person! Id love to have the honor to sit with you n have a lovely conversation:)
Watching every video you made, and didn’t got bored, you are always amazing 😻 love you and your amazing work ❤
its definitely true that you dont need to workout super hard but if you push past limits(physically and mentally) you can grow as person way easier than if you stayed in your comfort zone. thats why i go to the gym and train until muscular failure and go to a fighting school where i continue even if my whole body hurts
I'm so happy that I found your channel. For some reasons, listening to you calms my mind and heart. Something I can't explain. Your words bring courage and hope to my heart. I'm not sure if I have ADHD but I have the signs and symptoms based on what I researched on the web. Here in the Philippines, it's so hard to find a Doctor that can diagnose if you have ADHD or whatever it is.
Whatever happens, please don't stop. God Bless you and your family ^_^
It's great to see people opening up, this was such a taboo subject in my generation! I am 48, and weigh about 10 lb more than I did 20 years ago (now 135-140lb, i'm 5'4), and I am much happier with my body now than when I was 20 years ago. I have kids and a full time desk job, and working out regularly is what keeps my sanity and keeps me going!
I love that sentiment. "Any action is better than inaction." Very well said.
I used to exercise about six days a week, but not for the past couple years. I've been withering away and loosing good muscle weight.
That brain fog you talk about is so true! It truly is an ADD/ADHD thing.
The discipline you show to your audience is inspiring, keep it up!
Did you manage to get back to the routine?
I have the same problem. Funny thing, today I've decided to start it all again. I hope Ruri's words will help me keep through the initial phase!
Maybe not six days a week but I am regularly hitting up my local cheap gym! Gets you in that groove. Godspeed, internet stranger. @@FeyNyXx_
This is a very inspirational video. Thank you for saying, "every action you take will be a vote for the type of person you want to become". That is VERY awesome wisdom to live by. Thank you for sharing it with us!
This is really motivating me to head to the gym 😍✨
Thank you for sharing your journey Ruri ❤️ it’s really inspiring and will help a lot of people.
This video inspired me to start working out a while back and its changed my life for the better. Thank you so much Ruri 💗
🔥🔥🔥🔥let go!!! Ruri Thank you for sharing your fitness journey💪🏾 this was one of the best videos I’ve watched on your channel im proud of you keep up the awesome work 😎💪🏾
yo cool msg and so glad u are showing compound lifts with great technique. great msg and hope more ppl follow your habbit of exercise.
I had to stop working out after one year of doing so every day because of an injury and I felt my mind floating with depressed and anxious thoughts again and again during the time I couldn't move. I feel into old bad habits like chronic procrastination and rumination, all of that just to realize how exercising is now a primordial thing to keep my mind sane.
anyways tnks for the video ruri I love to see you getting sponsored
I can feel your sincerity. Thank you for sharing these dark moments of yourself and how you managed to overcome them.
I have not exercised my pilates for 3 days. After watching this video... I thought to myself that I got to get my sh#t together and just do it and stop procrastinating. Thanks for the motivation, Ruri!
You got this!
You are a truly outstanding actress! Your talent shines brightly in every role you take on. ❤
This video is incredibly well made and informative. I have recently started going to the gym again and want to become disciplined in all aspects of my life. You are an inspiration to many and helping change peoples lives for the better. ❤
Good to see that she is sharing the positive impact exercise had on her. Keep spreading the love
You are a beautiful, empathetic and nice lady! Stay as awesome as you are!😎👍
Damn!! Can't be more relatable. Ruri, you brought another soul back to life. Thanks alot🤍. Your efforts are well deserved.
wow. Your words are just so genuine. Each word is really based on your practical experience. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am sure, it will help a lot of us going through similar phases in life!
That's awesome, Ruri! Keep up the amazing work!
Was feeling really bummed about missing a day of working out cause I'm sick (feeling like shit now as we speak) but this video really helped curb my disappointment and sort of comfort me and remind me that it's okay. Like you said, "more is better then nothing". I really needed to hear that, thank you ☺️. Also I feel your pain on almost everything you complained about as someone with ADHD, anxiety and depression as well.
As someone who has been exercising everday since I was 16 (I'm 26 now), I can say it makes a massive difference to your life.
Apart from strengthening your muscles and increasing your stamina and resistance, it also boosts your metabolism, so you burn calories quicker, but more importantly, you feel more active and energetic and not lazy or lethargic.
The discipline also helps you in all other aspects of your life. On top of that, you become more self-confident and proud of your body because you can see the results of your hard work.
Nope, I don't go to the gym, nor do I have a lot of continuous free time. I work out in small, 5 to 10 minute sessions and do multiple ones a day, e.g. 2 sets in the morning, 2 at night. Or 1 in the morning, afternoon and evening.
Flexibility is key, especially if uou are still living with your family/roommates and don't have the time, money or freedom to go to the gym and exercise.
14:00 Ironically enough, I was born and raised in Dubai, and yes, it's extremely hot because it's literally the f***ing desert.
But I used to always play football everyday for 2 hours after school. Even after I started university and didn't have time, I still went for walks every morning. I would cover around 4½ km in 45 minutes. I would literally keep my shoes next to my bed at night, then wake up, drink water, poo and go for a walk first thing in the morning around 6:15 to 7 am.
i was athlete, i went through depressive "episode" since 2019 and i'm fat, i'm 6'4 and 240lbs, i'm far from obese because im strong and tall, even with sedentarism, but i never felt my body uglier.
I just dont have energy to cook (what i used to love), i have no energy to sleep early because im having anxiety and poor sleep, in morning i have no energy to get up at all, i just never felt worse before, and eat on deficit and workout everyday while i dont have energy to get up seens unreachable to me and idk what to do. Any advice?
wow thats really great and do u working out for muscle building or just to keep the body working, are an emarathi
Not comparing, taking things at your own pace, having done something than nothing being still a step towards a better direction really hit home. Good vid!
Sé que no entiendes español pero....De verdad estoy orgulloso de tí, lo lograste. Te felícito cariño.❤
If she reads it on mobile she can translate it 👍
Thank you, this is what I needed, right now, today even!
Love that AI thumbnail. They're getting scarily good.
This inspires me to live a healthy lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your story!
私も樺沢先生に救われた一人でとても共感しました。いまは運動が習慣です。I always appreciate your inspirational and motivational videos.いつもありがとうございます。
Ruri, your videos are gold! I get so inspired from your content & have easily considered you to be one of my favorite people on yt.
I loved the way you mentioned how much working out frequently positively affects your mental state & doesn't just focus on physical appearance or diet culture. thank you sm for this. you're a rockstar
Thank you, Ruri for making videos. Your videos are always with immense practical information applicable anytime soon. Keep on growing and thank you again for making us a part of it. Lots of Love.💙
I appreciate you🫂

Ruri you are so hard working 😊
We also enjoy to comment on your sweet platform Ruri 🤞💞✨
For every like this comments get, I will do one workout session
What a babe. ❤ Good job on working out!
I am so sorry for the misfortunes you have experienced at the hands of your father's family and siblings. Unfortunately, in the age we live in, such events occur very frequently, so do everything in an official correspondence, even if it is your brother, and make sure to clearly write down the expiry date and details of the agreement you have made. I hope that what you experienced because of your father's family has given you an experience regarding the decisions you will make in the future. Best regards, Ruri
Of course! I’m actually glad it happened :) it made me stronger than ever💪🏻
Happy to hear that
Beautiful video Ruri, thank you from the bottom of my heart
Hard times create strong people, strong people create good times, good times create weak people, weak people create hard times.
Índio forte, cueca fraca; índio peida, cueca rasga.
Índio fraco, cueca forte; índio peida, cu explode.
I also have ADHD and i can relate. Good to see things working out just fine for you
nah this woman is the definition of sigma grind set 😭💀😭
😂😂
hi Ruri, indeed, inspirational video, i’m a starting youtuber and your contents have been an exemplary, best of luck to you!
cool, I worked out all day in 2023 and I feel the same. And I have a stressful job and 2 kids. Congrats to us! Let's go! 💪🚀
Мне нравится что в своих видео вы обращаете внимание на различие ситуаций у разных людей, практически всегда есть альтернативы, стоит помнить об

Сьебитесь нахуй из України, как вам альтернатива
This advice was very good for someone who has only been training 1 year. You're doing well, keep going.
I don't know if I should be scared but this video is so well timed 😭 I decided to turn my life around for good this year so i started a lot of things which included joining a gym and a lot of others stuff. 9 months in and a lot of things didn't go as planned but something I managed to stick to is wrapping my work by 8pm(coincidence??) and going to the gym 4-5 times a week. It has been such a life changer for me. After having a series of failures and losses from past 5 years and not feeling any sense of achievement, the feeling when i finally performed my first non assisted pull up after 6 months of consistent training was really awesome. Sometime around last month I started thinking how I can translate this into my life to have a better career, pursue my interest in content creation and give back to my family as I'm very grateful for their love and support throughout the shitty phases of my life. Thank you for this video, and I'll certainly incorporate the bits i learnt from this video in to my life.
Congrats on getting the pull up! That’s a goal of mine!
First time I 'found' you on RUclips today - loved our video and approach!
She looks like an anime character.
100% 😂
Yes
lol yeh
She looks like AI generated
I stumbled across your videos and now I'm hooked. I'm starting to watch many of your videos sharing your life stories. Many of your stories I can related to my own life. You are so smart at such a young age. Keep up the video contents as I will continue to follow your success stories.
I am 20, I have been working out since my high school years. I can say that it is by far the best habit I have made in my life. I'll be honest, during my middle school and high school years, I was a mentally unstable, weak, hunchbacked, ugly, very, very insecure child, and I spent those years with depression. When I started exercising regularly and consciously, many things gradually changed positively. Working out helped me rebuild myself a lot. More mentally than physically. If I'm a little bit better than the average man now, it's because of working out. If I didn't make this a lifetime habit, I would probably commit suicide. It's that clear.
I would like to add a funny moment. In my first year of high school, while I was sitting in the schoolbus with the girl I liked, middle school kids came and made fun of me, asking if I was the hunchbacked boy. Yes, I was that hunched over. I was like f*cking Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Extremely encouraging and beautifully said. I recently started watching your videos and you are certainly wise beyond your years. Thank you for what you do. I'm glad to see that you are crushing it in life despite the setbacks you and your family have gone through.
Firstt❤
a good insight on exercise and also congrats for 1 mill subscribers
if this girl struggled with depression, i should be dead.
You look GREAT - Keep the GREAT work with your work out routines. 🤗
