Hi Arthur, I'm a primary school PE teacher and about 40 minutes ago I showed my students your inspirational story. Normally they talk when a video finishes, but not this time. You could hear a pin drop - they were moved. So moved in fact, there were tears. You have inspired 22 young minds to dig deep when the going gets tough. Thank you.
Masha'Allah, that's awesome. His story truly is an inspiration. There should be more stories told about people overcoming such huge challenges in life. Stay blessed, y'all.
I saw this 5 years ago i had many health problems + overweight 120kg-s and i was into deep darkness, drinked a alcohol a lot. In 2019 i started working on my self. Today its 2024 and i have 82kg, my health got improved a lot, my life changed, and i found new friends that helped me improving my self. My life is a way better now! ✝️🙏♥️
garip bir kanal You've seen the video, right? Guy can even run now and might have more control over his movement than many people his age, yet if he'd given up he would still be in a wheelchair. Life is not fair, we all have a different starting position in it, some are born into wealthy families and get everything since birth, some don't even have health, and many encounter severe hurdles during their lives, the kind of moments when you feel like your life is over and you're ready to give up. But the thing is that if you do give up then yeah, it will never be better, but if you don't... then you might fail anyway, but then you need to get up again, and again, until you've overcome the problem. In the end you will not only gain better life, but also lots of inner strength and unique outlook on life. And the moment the other people who have never seriously struggled in their life face their first real obstacle, that moment you'll be ahead of them because while they'll have no idea how to deal with it you'll still have the mentality of a fighter 👌 Never give up people, never ❤️
@@oatstealer5075 you will always be behind if you dont move or do anything to get out of the situation. Struggles and difficulties are always part of improvement, its not a one shot thing and boom everything you want in life is right in front of you. This is not a competition against other person, you aim to improve yourself day by day. If there's any competition its against yourself. Aim to be better than what you are yesterday.
Am a Canadian disabled Vet Arthur’s story inspired me. I was 376 pounds walking with a cane hooked on pills and now a solid 195. No, no pills thank you Arthur you saved my life.
I was saying wow out loud when he walked and when he started running i was screaming woooooow! XD. It made me smile so much. I am so happy, that he overcame this disability.
dinnae IKR.. OMGDD.. that's was amazing what he achieved... absolutely and completely inspiring.. not just for the weight loss but for that self accomplishment as well.i feel so happy for that guy... seriously..
I’m a disabled marine corps vet . I was hit by an ied in fallujah Iraq . I have been struggling in many areas with my physical health similar to yours ; during my last visit with Va chiropractor she shared this video with me your story and journey has motivated me to turn it all around , thanks for sharing your story . Semper fi
Absolutely!! I agree!! I have repeated this to myself many times on my journey… from the brink… from near death and slowly coming back to life… I even jogged the other day. OK, I may have trotted like a horse. Lol. But I kept walking faster until I had to break into a jog. I knew I would be able to do it again, someday… and for many, many God willing days 🙏🏻 to come. 🥰
That part still blows me away no matter how many times I watch this! Then seeing the text “they were wrong” anything is possible as long as you’re fully determined to change!
Thank you! @@ajstyles1039 maybe you'll get to see at least an image from a MRI showing the supposedly impossible: a reabsorbed (healed) thoracic disc herniation, an injury which affects one person in a million. By the way, check vitamin C deficiency, it can destroy your muscles, ligaments, intervertebral disks, etc, without you noticing until it's too late!
Well, knowing my dumb ass, ive gone back to some videos ive thought i liked and realized i pressed the wrong button lmao. Now maybe i only did that 1 out of 100 times but thats the same amount of likes to dislike ratio, so maybe half the people are as dumb as me and maybe the other half are the bitter buggers that can skrew right off :p
Arthur, I saw this video a few years ago during a pretty dark period in my life. Your story changed my life man. The next day I started getting it together, put the booze anway and got back in shape. 4 years later I am a 3XIRONMAN triathlon finisher!! I inspired my sister who struggled with her weight and health her whole life and today she is down 62lbs. Your story is way bigger than you now brother! You changed lives. Thanks.
when i was 5 i had a brain injury and doctors thought id be retarded with limited motor function, mind you within the next few days i already started running around and they also had me play platforming and racing games, also this was in 2006, i do know the odds were in favor of their prediction, but ya they were just dead wrong i was literally back to mostly normal in 3 days just with amnesia of most of the time in the hospital, i remember afterwards people would tell me i had full conversations with people and was playing around with people i never saw at the hospital
@@beekarinsaan I've had a couple of times where I went in, they told me I had X problem saying I need prescription meds, later looking up alternatives online I find out there are other options instead of taking medication A, B, or C. My last doctors visit about 2 months ago. Did labs, they tell me I'm prediabetic now and my T is a little low, wanted to put me on Testosterone shots (I'm in my mid/late 30's and a recovering 15 year heroin addict so my body's kind of out of wack), asked him if there was any other way as I've heard there are side effects that, although not WILL but MAY happen, still I'd rather not take the chances as they include man-tits, acne, bad breath... A few days later as I'm looking up alternatives online and I find out about Intermittent Fasting. The basic idea is that you can eat (a balanced meal, you don't have to starve yourself) for X hours of the 24 hour day and the other Y hours you fast, and sleeping _includes_ your fasting hours. There's a 12:12 fast which means you eat normally 12 hours of the day and the other 12 is just water and sleep. Then there's a 10:14 where you eat within 10 hours of the day and fast the other 14. And then there's 8:16, again, eat within 8 h of the day and fast 16 (the one I'm working up to... The thing is that the longer your fast is the greater health benefits you can gain. I'm just getting into it but the idea is that when you DON'T eat your body goes into a super repair mode where (while on a balanced meal plan and exercises) when you workout while IF your body shifts into a metabolism and hormonal change where your efforts and multiplied than when you normally workout. There are other IF methods but the ones I mentioned seem the most attainable and easiest to follow through with. Not to mention it's supposed to raise T levels for men whether or not you suffer from low T, your sleep is supposed to improve, your brain also benefits with your mood elevating. And while you have to have a balanced diet you don't have to be on a super strict diet, it helps for those that want to get "ripped" but it's accommodating enough that you can slowly change with ease. The best part is that I'm not putting meds into my system worrying about side effects. After 2 months working out 4-7 days of the week I lost about 5-7 lbs (from 200lbs) but I've lost a lot of mass, besides the fact that I can see the gains this means I'm trading fat for muscle. It's great.
@@bigboi4836 Do you know how it feels when you are unable to walk ? And one day someone believes in you and after the work ...you are actually walking on your own legs ..do you know how that feels .
Arthur I am a physiotherapist who works with the neurologically impaired, after strokes, brain injury and spinal cord injury. I have shown your video to all of my patients. You inspired me to name my Private Home Health Company Yes You Can Physiotherapy, Because I will always believe in you, until you can! Thank you for being the most inspirational story I have heard!
I have MS and I am so empowered during my decline with mobility, for the first time I am discovering who I am, and so much feels more glorious and more purposeful than ever before. I feel more motivated than ever. And watching others overcome adversity with mobility inspires me more!
Здравствуйте) не по теме . А какие вы методы используете в восстановлении после инсульта ? Я в России применяю LLLT,SCENAR,TLNS нейропсихологию Лурия . Что вы?) 😊
@Jesusislord-hd7feAdam is NOT the first human. There are many other humans outside of the garden of Eden. He is the first anointed human or chosen human to be placed in a special environment. He's the start of the human story, not the first man. I guess you could say he is the first important man.
most doctors become incredibly cynical. its part of the profession. you tell people, drink less, dont smoke, move more, dont do that meth, ect. they dont listen. its hard to find the ones that will.
My son just sent this to me. I am a disabled veteran. (40 yrs young) lived in pain for 22 years. My time in the service left me riddled with Osteoarthritis ( severe left hip, left knee and mild right knee) I have degenerative disc disease in my lower back. My left hip needs to be replaced. I am no longer allowed to run or jump. No high impact activity. At times, I too want to hang it up and accept my life the way it is. Putting on socks on the left foot or clipping my left toe nails is extremely painful and challenging. After watching this inspirational video, I want to get up and doing more physiotherapy stretches. It motivates me to do more. Thank you. I will watch this over and over to help keep me motivated.
40 years not too much. Start doing kapalbhaatti and anulom vilom. Take complete fresh vegetables. No meat or packaed food. Stop having sex or default thoughts completely. Believe me u will will regenerate ur disk again. It is give completely new body . U have to do Both 30 -30 minutes in morning fresh air
This video changed my life. I was a lifetime alcoholic, in terrible shape. I finally managed to get sober but still wasn't really enjoying life. Then I found this, and it gave me just enough hope that I started doing DDP Yoga, that led to me starting to enjoy moving my body. I started walking, and ended up moving to Yoga With Adriene just for the calmer vibes, but 5 years later I still regularly do yoga. I'll always be thankful to DDP and Arthur for showing me what's possible.
@Jesusislord-hd7fe Your God didn't pull me out of my depression. I did. I put in the effort, I did the work, it was my sweat and blood. Your God did nothing and I was tired of waiting for him to save me, so I saved myself.
@Jesusislord-hd7fe Please don't. Your god watched while I was abused by a priest. I want nothing to do with anyone complicit in child abuse, as your god is.
In the Bible in Philippians 4:13 it says “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” If we pray and ask God for help, He will never turn us away but we have to ask and do our part, He will do the rest... Trust in Him
I remember watching this video, partially paralyzed from brain lesions and autoimmune disease. Wondering if I’d live long enough for my 2 year old Son to remember me before I died. I would’ve given anything for a guarantee to have made it to his 18th birthday. I watch this today with no active disease in my body and I expect to live a very long life. Maybe to 100... Thank you for your courage.
Who's chopping onions, man? To be serious though; it's awesome to see someone not only achieve their goals but, also to go above and beyond. Awesome stuff! 👍🏾
I've seen this video many times, and it brings tears to my eyes EVERY SINGLE TIME. When Arthur breaks into a full run toward the camera, that's the part that gets me the most.
@@cinemaparadiso5402 You can go somewhere else if you want to talk about politics. I don't know what your country's military looks like, or if you've ever done research, but you're sent to where you're sent to, and you serve where you serve. That's how fighting for your country works. You don't get to choose your assignments. And that's a much bigger situation so don't pretend it's boiled down to that one statement. Either way, this's a positive video about someone's journey through a personal struggle. Not the place for war debates.
When I saw him walking I said Oh My God, then he started running and my tears just started flowing. What an inspiration you are and from the bottom of my heart thank you and your family for your service.
Coming back to this video, probably 10 years after I first watched it. I'm in a different place now than where I was a decade ago and I really needed to see this. While outwardly people see that I've gained 50lbs in a year, what they don't see is the mental place I've been in that caused that, and how much harder it is to do the simplest tasks when being this much heavier. 11 days ago I began walking daily again on a treadmill followed by either an upper or lower body strength & flexibility workout depending on the day. My goal is to regain the mobility, strength & balance that I've lost. I can't wait to be the person I once was. Watching this video again has reminded me that my goals are entirely possible. Thank you for keeping this video up.
This is beautiful. Doctors also told me I’d be crippled by the time I was 35. I am now 46, run daily and am healthy as a horse. They also told me my second daughter had Edwards Syndrome and would not survive birth. She’s now 18 graduating high school with a 98 average. Doctors know a lot, but they don’t know everything. Our will is more powerful than anything in this world.
kirihara I had An autoimmune disorder that affected not only my organs but my joints as well. I woke up one morning and could not get out of bed, the inflammation and damage to my joints they told me was irreparable. Told me to prepare for multiple surgeries and then to be wheelchair bound.
My son was paralysed from Transverse myelitis. The Dr's said he wouldn't recover but we didn't give up he worked hard, my wife massaged his legs every day. He now walks and runs and you would hardly know he'd been paralysed. DON'T GIVE UP! This video brings a tear to my eye and puts a massive smile on my face. 😊👍
I love that Arthur was trying so hard to change: "most Yoga instructors turned me away." He was looking for help. He was actively wanting to change. Way to go, Arthur!!! You deserve your successes!
I think that's the case of shit yoga instructors. Most of them are probably guys after a 2 week course, with zero experience. A "patient" like that is too risky for them. It's the modern version of something very popular in the 80s I guess, called McDojo. Place opened by some idiot who thinks they know martial arts to get money from unsuspecting students.
I watched this 7 years ago with tears streaming down my face while I heard the song. I lost 40 lbs in that year. Over the last 7 years my close family passed away n my weight has shot back up to the same as 7 years ago. As this video appears to me again I'm reminded to get back up again.
V: You are not only one that has a situation like that. You are not alone. I lost my father few years back, and it has been *freaking* tough. And, I'm not a Loser-like of mentality. But, the loss of people close to you, can really hurt you deep down. So, know that another is understanding where you are. And, if you want to chat, I'm there. For me, I'm doing my best to get everything back together, but it's not an easy road.
You are not alone. You’ve got this. You’ve done it once, do it again. Sometimes we get back to square one. Maybe it’s a sign, to do-over, and this time, do better. Someone is rooting for you.
In 2018 i worked super hard to lose weight. I think i lost around 45 pounds (i also put on a ton of muscle). Then my life fell apart due to a number of injuries, illnesses, and lost loved ones, and i gave up on myself... Now im back where i started too. This is indeed a good reminder never to give up.
It DID leave him clearly but he with help picked himself up and persevered. War and doctors broke his mental fortitude but he got back on that horse with help.
From the bottom of my heart God bless this dude !!! To see him run at the end brought me so much joy to start my morning off . Ok I’m done . Someone’s cutting onions around here .
I actually came across this exact video several years ago. I typed in '1 year yoga journeys' to see what CAN be achieved. Watching this vid, as for many, brought tears to my eyes. Not only because of this guys healing journey, but because when i watched it, i had recently stopped being bed-ridden with severe MECFS (couldnt talk, couldnt think in words, couldnt understand language) Im on day 4 of my yoga journey, i can drive 30mins, i can walk 40mins and im looking forwards to a (finger's crossed) gradual return to work next year
I cry every time I watch this. I’ve lost 116 lbs in 8 months and now I’m no longer obese. The road to my final goal is still long but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
I saw this video a couple of years ago at low point of my life: 120lbs overweight, Chronic back pain, stress injuries to both feet and knee injuries. I couldn't walk thirty steps without my body locking up in pain. I thought I was going to be resigned to crutches or a wheelchair for the rest of my life. I cried so hard when I saw this video. A month later, I took my first yoga class. 20 months and 51lbs later, I can run, jump and tumble around with my 5-year old. Thank you Arthur, for being an inspiration and thank you DDP for not giving up on people deemed "Hopeless" by their doctors. To those going through a similar situation, don't give up!
I didn't think it was gonna make me cry, but when it got to the clip of him running... it got me. The look on his face; the strenth, the power, the pride, the long journey. Wow
As soon as the “all but one” text came up my tears started. All it takes is one good person helping your determination come to fruition sometimes. Bless the both of you. This is genuinely absolutely incredibly. “ just because I can’t do it today, doesn’t mean I’m not gonna be able to do it, someday.”
I was broken , crying in my dark room and had suicidal thoughts 1 hour ago due my skin problem (vitiligo) . Then this story appeared .....now I have courage to Start again ...thnx Arthur
Vitiligo people have beautiful skin. It makes you unique. Anyone who makes you feel otherwise is probably an insecure person who doesn't know real beauty. I'm glad this story helped you. Let your light shine bright in this world. ❤️❤️
"but more importantly, they were *wrong* " "just because i can't do it *today* doesn't mean im not gonna be able to do it *someday* " " *i fell many times but i got back up* " *HOLY SHIT* NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL INSPIRATIONAL
@@roseashley2448 The word satan means "adversary". Theres no bigger adversary against the men/women who blame their own weakness, failures, or doubts on something else rather than to look inside one's self.
@@roseashley2448 "Satan"is not something outside ourselves. To "sin" is just to miss the mark and blind ourselves and cut ourselves off from who we truly are by making the wrong choices. The way to God is through the inside of our hearts not the outer world.
Je souffre de divers trouble. Depuis cette vidéo, je me suis fais mes entraînements et les résultats commencent enfin à se faire ressentir; il était temps. N'abandonnez pas.
Sir, you are indeed an inspiration, I'm trying to come back from a dark place myself. Years of abuse and simply not taking care of myself have taken its toll. I'm slowly losing weight but had never considered yoga because it looked very difficult for joint damage. But with watching this video, I am determined to give it a try. I have never given up and thanks to your video have a new avenue to explore. Thanks and KTF.
I watched this years ago. Now I’m diagnosed with something that the doctors said they can’t help me. I was so down and thought of this video. I’m using this video as my motivation. Thank you for showing that never giving up is the way to go.
I thanked God when I first watched this video, in 2021. I was doing really badly due to COVID-19. That special day and time, I was feeling extremely bad. I couldn't breath and my nails were starting to become purple in color for the lack of oxygen. At that very moment, in my desperation, I received this video via WhatsApp, from a friend. It was magic to me. Something happened emotionally, that I new I will make it. And I did. Now, two years later I happened to see this video here, and it is my time to say: Thank you so much for helping me breath again, for giving me the strength I needed to overcome that difficult situation in my life.
My best tip for motivating yourself is to find others who share the desire to do what you are struggling with and do it with them. Having others to push you can be a godsend🙏
Don't be ashamed. Look ahead and just keep trying. Falling down is just part of it. Crawl if you have to. You can do it. I fought off over 170 lbs. If I can do it anyone can. My self discipline is not one of my strong points by far.
What the actual heck?! It took RUclips 7 whole years to put this in my recommended. Edit: Sweet sister Francis! Over a thousand likes, I feel so special. Thank you all!
I was already so happy when I saw him walking lightly with one normal kane. But the part when he is walking unassisted and then starts to run.. and the songs..chill and tears.. chill and tears..
Right now I'm writing this from hospital.....my granny is lying in front of me......those fucking doctors have taken all her hopes.....now she is 356lbs and quite sure she won't recover, she's 57, that's not really that bad of a age, is it??
@@abigail7496 my aunt is a doctor too, and I know that doctors have to take hard choices and also take responsibilities for the outcomes. My aunt, or to say my grandma's daughter, was in tha team of the doctors who treated her. So I was not questioning their abilities or duties at all. They did their best. By taking her hopes, i meant they discussed her situation (which was not great) right in front of her, which was not professional. So she became extremely hopeless. I am sorry, i was and still am, in depression. I love her more than my mother, so she meant a whole world to me.
@@arthaiser You didn't understand a thing if that is the way you're going to respond. Too bad. But do us all a favor, if you can't improve the silence, then sshhh...!
@duckyzzz ,, she is just lying 🤣🤣 she want people comments and like what she said,, I'm crying like a baby 🤣🤣🤣 ohh really,, excuse me please are you crying 😢 🤣🤣🤣 baby 👶
I'm an RN. I work with military veterans. I show this to the ones in a similar place where Arther was. And then we hold hands and walk through it. I'm sobbing so hard because of the hurt I just heard in another veterans voice. Because they're so ashamed and lost and defeated and I would give anything to take that from them 😢 I'm so thankful to have this to show them that they're more than they think they are and someone believes in them. Thanks for that.
The fact we do this to our own people is sickening. In the richest country in the world there shouldn't be an issue of disabled veterans. Our government sends people to fix their stupid little wars and when they come back broken there left to fix it themselves.
@@lve6211 where's your coffee come from? And what was powering the freighters and planes and trains and trucks carrying that coffee over here for you to buy? In more recent times, These veterans have been the only thing standing between you and searching through the town dump for the least moldy pizza crust as your only meal. They protect our way of life and we are the reason they die in combat. Never, ever, ever forget that. Not sure what you believe the government is, but it's us. You and me. We're responsible for all of those deaths and disabilities. For your sake, and mine as well... Thank God for discovery of new Texas shale.
@@Hayhayitsmaay you and me?! Maybe you but im not the fucking government. so you're telling me I'M the one that starts wars. I'M the one that sends people to die for this country I don't even want to be in. I'M the one that gets in arguments with powerful world leaders causing mass destruction over petty causes. I'M the one that's been trying to take as much oil and money from as many neighboring countries as possible. I'M the one that still has people locked up for "drugs" that can be legally bought all over the country. I'M the one that created a violent police force that abuses power . Sorry but I have NOTHING to do with the government.
This is not just an inspiration for weight loss, this is an inspiration for all aspects in life, it's about to believe in yourself in any circumstances. Amazing!
"Just because I can't do it today doesn't mean I'm not going to be able to do it some day " I have told myself this many times because of this video. It's hard to beat someone who never gives up. It's a great motto. Thanks, Arthur. You're still an inspiration after all these years.❤
@@revv0o what the fuck are u talking about? Fortnite? What, do u think I am some kid that sits around and plays that stupid shit? I are a fucking idiot!
This guy is a Special Ed teacher & advisor for the Sci-fi & Fantasy Club at my high school. To learn that someone who seems like a pretty normal, laid-back guy overcame such insurmountable obstacles is truly mind-blowing to me. My respect for him has increased beyond comprehension. Mr. Boorman, your story is one of the most inspirational things I've ever heard of. Thank you.
I fractured my spine 3 years ago and I'm still in alot of pain. I use to to go to the gym 5 times a week now I gained 40 pounds.my brother died and there is a pandemic. I'm depressed but this inspired me to try again despite the pain I face everyday 🙏
I hope you're doing okay mate. Maybe worth starting with some exercises/stretches from Athlean X for back injuries to relieve that pain. 3 years is not a long time, so I'm sure you can regain your health. I'm sorry to hear about your brother, hang in there
Tough times man. I wish there is anything I can do to help you except give my best wishes and pray for you. Remember, never give up. This too shall pass.
Omg i cried the song choice was amazing reminds me of my mom who was 600lbs and lost her weight down to 180 then leveled out at 200 but died 5 years later from colon cancer may god bless you arthur your story is soooooo Inspiring! I Love You

Hi Arthur, I'm a primary school PE teacher and about 40 minutes ago I showed my students your inspirational story. Normally they talk when a video finishes, but not this time. You could hear a pin drop - they were moved. So moved in fact, there were tears. You have inspired 22 young minds to dig deep when the going gets tough. Thank you.
awesome!

firethumb I was like half a second from posting almost the exact same comment. I just *happened* to see it in time not to.
But if you have difficulty at the start it means you will allways be behind and you might as well give up at that point never ever forget that
garip bir kanal You've seen the video, right? Guy can even run now and might have more control over his movement than many people his age, yet if he'd given up he would still be in a wheelchair. Life is not fair, we all have a different starting position in it, some are born into wealthy families and get everything since birth, some don't even have health, and many encounter severe hurdles during their lives, the kind of moments when you feel like your life is over and you're ready to give up. But the thing is that if you do give up then yeah, it will never be better, but if you don't... then you might fail anyway, but then you need to get up again, and again, until you've overcome the problem. In the end you will not only gain better life, but also lots of inner strength and unique outlook on life. And the moment the other people who have never seriously struggled in their life face their first real obstacle, that moment you'll be ahead of them because while they'll have no idea how to deal with it you'll still have the mentality of a fighter 👌 Never give up people, never ❤️
@@oatstealer5075 you will always be behind if you dont move or do anything to get out of the situation.

I was saying wow out loud when he walked and when he started running i was screaming woooooow! XD. It made me smile so much. I am so happy, that he overcame this disability.
dinnae IKR.. OMGDD.. that's was amazing what he achieved... absolutely and completely inspiring.. not just for the weight loss but for that self accomplishment as well.i feel so happy for that guy... seriously..
shimmeringreflection how can anyone possibly dislike this... people are just never satisfied..it's so annoying
Thanks for the incouragement
Losing 140 pounds is impressive, but being able to WALK again is even more impressive. Thank you for sharing your story :)
he didnt even need to use his Stand!
140 pounds in 10 months is insanely impressive
Walk? You mean run!
He is the fastest 47 year old I have ever seen
He can stand on his what you mean

Arthur, I saw this video a few years ago during a pretty dark period in my life. Your story changed my life man. The next day I started getting it together, put the booze anway and got back in shape. 4 years later I am a 3XIRONMAN triathlon finisher!! I inspired my sister who struggled with her weight and health her whole life and today she is down 62lbs. Your story is way bigger than you now brother! You changed lives. Thanks.
😢❤
losing weight is hard in itself. Proving the doctors wrong is legendary
Most of the doctors are BSing most of the time. They base their opinions on test results and the situation.
With Doctor Now. its not.
when i was 5 i had a brain injury and doctors thought id be retarded with limited motor function, mind you within the next few days i already started running around and they also had me play platforming and racing games, also this was in 2006, i do know the odds were in favor of their prediction, but ya they were just dead wrong i was literally back to mostly normal in 3 days just with amnesia of most of the time in the hospital, i remember afterwards people would tell me i had full conversations with people and was playing around with people i never saw at the hospital
@@Lickicker so I can be talking to you then all of sudden you dont remember me cool you have like a super power to erase memeory
@@beekarinsaan I've had a couple of times where I went in, they told me I had X problem saying I need prescription meds, later looking up alternatives online I find out there are other options instead of taking medication A, B, or C.
My last doctors visit about 2 months ago. Did labs, they tell me I'm prediabetic now and my T is a little low, wanted to put me on Testosterone shots (I'm in my mid/late 30's and a recovering 15 year heroin addict so my body's kind of out of wack), asked him if there was any other way as I've heard there are side effects that, although not WILL but MAY happen, still I'd rather not take the chances as they include man-tits, acne, bad breath...
A few days later as I'm looking up alternatives online and I find out about Intermittent Fasting. The basic idea is that you can eat (a balanced meal, you don't have to starve yourself) for X hours of the 24 hour day and the other Y hours you fast, and sleeping _includes_ your fasting hours.
There's a 12:12 fast which means you eat normally 12 hours of the day and the other 12 is just water and sleep. Then there's a 10:14 where you eat within 10 hours of the day and fast the other 14. And then there's 8:16, again, eat within 8 h of the day and fast 16 (the one I'm working up to...
The thing is that the longer your fast is the greater health benefits you can gain.
I'm just getting into it but the idea is that when you DON'T eat your body goes into a super repair mode where (while on a balanced meal plan and exercises) when you workout while IF your body shifts into a metabolism and hormonal change where your efforts and multiplied than when you normally workout.
There are other IF methods but the ones I mentioned seem the most attainable and easiest to follow through with.
Not to mention it's supposed to raise T levels for men whether or not you suffer from low T, your sleep is supposed to improve, your brain also benefits with your mood elevating. And while you have to have a balanced diet you don't have to be on a super strict diet, it helps for those that want to get "ripped" but it's accommodating enough that you can slowly change with ease.
The best part is that I'm not putting meds into my system worrying about side effects.
After 2 months working out 4-7 days of the week I lost about 5-7 lbs (from 200lbs) but I've lost a lot of mass, besides the fact that I can see the gains this means I'm trading fat for muscle. It's great.
I'm not sure what's more impressive, being able to walk normally again or losing 140 in 10 months
Being able to walk and run again is more impressive .
Polo Niex you know how hard losing 140 is
@@bigboi4836 Do you know how it feels when you are unable to walk ?

he is in better shape then most doctors that he seen :)

My son just sent this to me.
I am a disabled veteran. (40 yrs young) lived in pain for 22 years.
My time in the service left me riddled with Osteoarthritis ( severe left hip, left knee and mild right knee)
I have degenerative disc disease in my lower back. My left hip needs to be replaced. I am no longer allowed to run or jump. No high impact activity.
At times, I too want to hang it up and accept my life the way it is.
Putting on socks on the left foot or clipping my left toe nails is extremely painful and challenging.
After watching this inspirational video, I want to get up and doing more physiotherapy stretches. It motivates me to do more.
Thank you.
I will watch this over and over to help keep me motivated.
I will pray for you right now my friend.
Hopefully this gives you motivation to start your journey, good luck my friend

40 years not too much. Start doing kapalbhaatti and anulom vilom. Take complete fresh vegetables. No meat or packaed food. Stop having sex or default thoughts completely.

This video changed my life. I was a lifetime alcoholic, in terrible shape. I finally managed to get sober but still wasn't really enjoying life. Then I found this, and it gave me just enough hope that I started doing DDP Yoga, that led to me starting to enjoy moving my body. I started walking, and ended up moving to Yoga With Adriene just for the calmer vibes, but 5 years later I still regularly do yoga. I'll always be thankful to DDP and Arthur for showing me what's possible.
@Jesusislord-hd7fe Your God didn't pull me out of my depression. I did. I put in the effort, I did the work, it was my sweat and blood. Your God did nothing and I was tired of waiting for him to save me, so I saved myself.
@Jesusislord-hd7fe Please don't. Your God watched while one of his priests groomed and abused me and did nothing.
@Jesusislord-hd7fe Please don't. Your god watched while I was abused by a priest. I want nothing to do with anyone complicit in child abuse, as your god is.

Coming back to this video, probably 10 years after I first watched it. I'm in a different place now than where I was a decade ago and I really needed to see this. While outwardly people see that I've gained 50lbs in a year, what they don't see is the mental place I've been in that caused that, and how much harder it is to do the simplest tasks when being this much heavier. 11 days ago I began walking daily again on a treadmill followed by either an upper or lower body strength & flexibility workout depending on the day. My goal is to regain the mobility, strength & balance that I've lost. I can't wait to be the person I once was. Watching this video again has reminded me that my goals are entirely possible. Thank you for keeping this video up.
You can do it!
When you achieve your goal from all that determined self care, you will not be the person you once were, you'll be even better!
This is beautiful. Doctors also told me I’d be crippled by the time I was 35. I am now 46, run daily and am healthy as a horse. They also told me my second daughter had Edwards Syndrome and would not survive birth. She’s now 18 graduating high school with a 98 average. Doctors know a lot, but they don’t know everything. Our will is more powerful than anything in this world.
😍😍😍😍
why would they think that you'd be crippled by 35?
kirihara I had An autoimmune disorder that affected not only my organs but my joints as well. I woke up one morning and could not get out of bed, the inflammation and damage to my joints they told me was irreparable. Told me to prepare for multiple surgeries and then to be wheelchair bound.

I love that Arthur was trying so hard to change: "most Yoga instructors turned me away." He was looking for help. He was actively wanting to change. Way to go, Arthur!!! You deserve your successes!

I watched this 7 years ago with tears streaming down my face while I heard the song. I lost 40 lbs in that year. Over the last 7 years my close family passed away n my weight has shot back up to the same as 7 years ago. As this video appears to me again I'm reminded to get back up again.

You are not only one that has a situation like that. You are not alone. I lost my father few years back, and it has been *freaking* tough. And, I'm not a Loser-like of mentality. But, the loss of people close to you, can really hurt you deep down. So, know that another is understanding where you are. And, if you want to chat, I'm there. For me, I'm doing my best to get everything back together, but it's not an easy road.

You are not alone. You’ve got this. You’ve done it once, do it again. Sometimes we get back to square one. Maybe it’s a sign, to do-over, and this time, do better. Someone is rooting for you.
In 2018 i worked super hard to lose weight. I think i lost around 45 pounds (i also put on a ton of muscle). Then my life fell apart due to a number of injuries, illnesses, and lost loved ones, and i gave up on myself... Now im back where i started too. This is indeed a good reminder never to give up.
I cried when you were running!
That's so beautiful! Don't underestimate someone's perseverance!

@Stranger Studios right that's what I was thinking
@Stranger Studios What he means is that he just put his descipline away. He had it all along.
But war leaves affect on people
It DID leave him clearly but he with help picked himself up and persevered. War and doctors broke his mental fortitude but he got back on that horse with help.

I actually came across this exact video several years ago. I typed in '1 year yoga journeys' to see what CAN be achieved. Watching this vid, as for many, brought tears to my eyes. Not only because of this guys healing journey, but because when i watched it, i had recently stopped being bed-ridden with severe MECFS (couldnt talk, couldnt think in words, couldnt understand language)
Im on day 4 of my yoga journey, i can drive 30mins, i can walk 40mins and im looking forwards to a (finger's crossed) gradual return to work next year
I cry every time I watch this. I’ve lost 116 lbs in 8 months and now I’m no longer obese. The road to my final goal is still long but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
Keep fighting.
Keep going, you’ve made it this far you can do it!
Great job!! You're amazing
Keep up the good job dude :)
You got this!
I saw this video a couple of years ago at low point of my life: 120lbs overweight, Chronic back pain, stress injuries to both feet and knee injuries. I couldn't walk thirty steps without my body locking up in pain. I thought I was going to be resigned to crutches or a wheelchair for the rest of my life.
I cried so hard when I saw this video. A month later, I took my first yoga class. 20 months and 51lbs later, I can run, jump and tumble around with my 5-year old.

I thanked God when I first watched this video, in 2021. I was doing really badly due to COVID-19. That special day and time, I was feeling extremely bad. I couldn't breath and my nails were starting to become purple in color for the lack of oxygen. At that very moment, in my desperation, I received this video via WhatsApp, from a friend. It was magic to me. Something happened emotionally, that I new I will make it. And I did. Now, two years later I happened to see this video here, and it is my time to say: Thank you so much for helping me breath again, for giving me the strength I needed to overcome that difficult situation in my life.
He deserves so much respect 🙏
It was painful seeing him fell down but how he keeps going got me in tears of joy..
This makes me ashamed of myself and my lack of motivation. I will keep trying to get better !
Do your best!
My best tip for motivating yourself is to find others who share the desire to do what you are struggling with and do it with them. Having others to push you can be a godsend🙏
I feel you! We WILL get there!
Tank Mac- you can do it. I have faith in you. Always think positive. God bless. 🦋
Don't be ashamed. Look ahead and just keep trying. Falling down is just part of it. Crawl if you have to. You can do it. I fought off over 170 lbs. If I can do it anyone can. My self discipline is not one of my strong points by far.
What the actual heck?! It took RUclips 7 whole years to put this in my recommended.
Edit: Sweet sister Francis! Over a thousand likes, I feel so special. Thank you all!

Me to
Yeah me too

@BGL VOTREX that was an typo lol.
I've watched this countless times but that SPRINT....... Still takes my breath away! Stay blessed!
@Jesusislord-hd7fe Stay blessed brother
When he started running at 3:55
I felt that
Same. I started balling after i saw that
Literally. D e e p
Bro he ran fast asf too
If you felt that than it means you felt the run so you burnt some calories
I Felt that it‘s not the same person.
I was already so happy when I saw him walking lightly with one normal kane. But the part when he is walking unassisted and then starts to run.. and the songs..chill and tears.. chill and tears..
This was beautiful. "They were wrong." As he runs like lighting. So inspirational
statanville just cause I can do it today it doesn’t mean I won’t do it some day. That quote in gold letters for eternity please.
Right now I'm writing this from hospital.....my granny is lying in front of me......those fucking doctors have taken all her hopes.....now she is 356lbs and quite sure she won't recover, she's 57, that's not really that bad of a age, is it??
Probably Forgot My Name I don’t think so
@@abigail7496 she died last week.
@@abigail7496 my aunt is a doctor too, and I know that doctors have to take hard choices and also take responsibilities for the outcomes. My aunt, or to say my grandma's daughter, was in tha team of the doctors who treated her. So I was not questioning their abilities or duties at all. They did their best. By taking her hopes, i meant they discussed her situation (which was not great) right in front of her, which was not professional. So she became extremely hopeless. I am sorry, i was and still am, in depression. I love her more than my mother, so she meant a whole world to me.
They told me I was not going to live past a weak and I am still here. They were wrong with me to. I am on full disability. I am proud of you brother.
my jaw dropped when i saw he run....i was so amazed and happy for you :") God bless!
Mary Caroline AMEN!
I'm a 35 year old man, and this made me tear up un controllably
Dam your young
You're not alone.
@@jordanhosten167 ?????? ur pfp and comment leads me to believe you are 4
so am I. does every time.
I hear ya brother, 37 here and I had the same reaction.
Because someone believed in him, he believed In himself. Love and time changes everything! 💕#Inspirational
I immediately cried when you ran up to the camera, thank you so much Arthur! Congratulations
I can be a pretty cynical and sometimes pessimistic dude. When that guy took off running, it really did something to me...
Yeah it scared me cuz i felt threatened
You are just an amateur cynical am pessimistic dude them.
@@arthaiser You didn't understand a thing if that is the way you're going to respond. Too bad. But do us all a favor, if you can't improve the silence, then sshhh...!
@@masterPNDA-wq3oo weird
@@moniqueqjohnson wtf

The irony tho....
They can break your bones, your ligaments, but they can’t break your character. Truly inspiring man
One of my favorite videos on youtube. Have watched it multiple times over the years and I tear up evert single time. So proud of this man❤❤❤
When he started running... I cried...
Yeah it really scared me too...
Same here, incredibly moving
Did he scare you?
Same
Just a group of stranger homies crying together from all around the world, haha
I'm an RN. I work with military veterans. I show this to the ones in a similar place where Arther was. And then we hold hands and walk through it. I'm sobbing so hard because of the hurt I just heard in another veterans voice. Because they're so ashamed and lost and defeated and I would give anything to take that from them 😢 I'm so thankful to have this to show them that they're more than they think they are and someone believes in them. Thanks for that.
The work you do is so important they are blessed to have you
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The fact we do this to our own people is sickening. In the richest country in the world there shouldn't be an issue of disabled veterans. Our government sends people to fix their stupid little wars and when they come back broken there left to fix it themselves.
@@lve6211 where's your coffee come from? And what was powering the freighters and planes and trains and trucks carrying that coffee over here for you to buy? In more recent times, These veterans have been the only thing standing between you and searching through the town dump for the least moldy pizza crust as your only meal. They protect our way of life and we are the reason they die in combat.
Never, ever, ever forget that. Not sure what you believe the government is, but it's us. You and me. We're responsible for all of those deaths and disabilities. For your sake, and mine as well...
Thank God for discovery of new Texas shale.
@@Hayhayitsmaay you and me?! Maybe you but im not the fucking government. so you're telling me I'M the one that starts wars. I'M the one that sends people to die for this country I don't even want to be in. I'M the one that gets in arguments with powerful world leaders causing mass destruction over petty causes. I'M the one that's been trying to take as much oil and money from as many neighboring countries as possible. I'M the one that still has people locked up for "drugs" that can be legally bought all over the country. I'M the one that created a violent police force that abuses power . Sorry but I have NOTHING to do with the government.
Just popped out in my recommendation today!
*But This Does Put A Smile On My Face.*
Gotta love unexpected thanos quotes
@@AA-ge6vo r/unexpectedthanos
I'm speechless. I don't know this guy and his son but I am soo happy for his success. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm 53 years old and in the position you were in. Maybe there's hope for me.
Always....
You can do it man
Just because you can't do it today, doesn't mean you can't do it someday.
You can, stay strong, you can do this, you can do this, YOU CAN DO THIS.
Just try. You got this
This is not just an inspiration for weight loss, this is an inspiration for all aspects in life, it's about to believe in yourself in any circumstances.
Amazing!
💜
He also lost about 15 years of age after losing weight.
You dont get it do you?
@@samet8153 What do you mean? I admire his achievement. Just made additional remark.
@@samet8153 What 15 years? I made a remark that after losing weight he looks much younger. Because he does, don't you think?
@@Gadzinisko ohhhh shit my bad, i read it wrong sorry
@@samet8153 lol
"Just because I can't do it today doesn't mean I'm not going to be able to do it some day "
I have told myself this many times because of this video. It's hard to beat someone who never gives up. It's a great motto. Thanks, Arthur. You're still an inspiration after all these years.❤
Very inspiring I'm only 12 and I will look up to you. Thank you for helping our country and well done
Lol
@@penguin-IDK your a douch
Just looked at your channel. I'm sure you can look up to him by playing that shit game Fortnite.
@@revv0o what the fuck are u talking about? Fortnite? What, do u think I am some kid that sits around and plays that stupid shit? I are a fucking idiot!
JAYZ SHIT boy he ain't talking to you
This guy is a Special Ed teacher & advisor for the Sci-fi & Fantasy Club at my high school. To learn that someone who seems like a pretty normal, laid-back guy overcame such insurmountable obstacles is truly mind-blowing to me. My respect for him has increased beyond comprehension. Mr. Boorman, your story is one of the most inspirational things I've ever heard of. Thank you.
#SP :)
This is literally the first time I ever cried watching something. I’m a 34 year old veteran. God bless you, man.
You are so gay
@@Froxus and you are idiot. I love my mom and i am not lesbian.
@@Froxus fuck off
@@marketbrock8496 Yes you are
You are really good human, Mr. Isaiah. My respect sir.
"Just because I can't do it today doesn't mean I won't be able to do it someday."

its enough to make a grown man cry
and thats okay
I hear ya man. Every time I see this video it brings me to tears.
And a grown woman too! Like me!😢
It did!
Yes it is OK👍🤗💕
And nobody got the meme
I fractured my spine 3 years ago and I'm still in alot of pain. I use to to go to the gym 5 times a week now I gained 40 pounds.my brother died and there is a pandemic. I'm depressed but this inspired me to try again despite the pain I face everyday 🙏
I hope you're doing okay mate. Maybe worth starting with some exercises/stretches from Athlean X for back injuries to relieve that pain. 3 years is not a long time, so I'm sure you can regain your health. I'm sorry to hear about your brother, hang in there
Tough times man. I wish there is anything I can do to help you except give my best wishes and pray for you. Remember, never give up. This too shall pass.
You got this. never give up
You can do it
You got this!
Omg i cried the song choice was amazing reminds me of my mom who was 600lbs and lost her weight down to 180 then leveled out at 200 but died 5 years later from colon cancer may god bless you arthur your story is soooooo Inspiring! I Love You
The transformation is amazing. It’s really put my lame excuses for not being fit and healthy into perspective. Thanks you for the wake up call. Choose life!
Yeah choose life.
Yes, degeneracy is not the choice.
