I Tried a 2,500 Year Old Morning Routine for 30 Days...Here's What Happened.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- I did yoga every day for 30 days, and it changed my life...except it WASN'T exactly "yoga." Instead, I did a 2,500-year-old morning routine that claims to be the "fountain of youth," which can reverse aging and lead to better health and wellness. But TBH, this 30-day challenge improved my life in ways I never expected!

ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist and it was life-changing.
Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones - and $25,000 of debt - to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and - best of all - wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.
My mission is to help you conquer your clutter and simplify YOUR way to a happier and better life. HERE'S OUR STORY: atozenlife.com/about-a-to-zen...

What's your morning routine like, and can YOU touch your toes? 🤔 Please like + comment below to let me know (and YES, I have been keeping up with my new morning routine habit :) )
You have inspired me to do my own 30 day exercise challenge doing this! 🤸♀ I've printed out a calendar so I can keep up with it! I'm not quite sure what the spinning is supposed to do other than make me dizzy but I'll try it! 😃
Give us the recipies from this completed renovation dinner.
I am so happy you shared this rare exercise routine. Everything new does not work. It is our ancestors that did best. A to Zen life is more than minimalism I have found. We need to learn all aspects of your life. Minimalism exercise cooking shopping money savings holidays structure laundry...
I've gone through so many different morning exercise routines, and gone on and off of exercising at all so many times, that I've come to accept that I'll never stick to one routine everyday for the rest of my life. 😅 I think that's fine though! I just pay attention to what my brain and body want and need and try to incorporate exercise when it feels fun and/or beneficial. Right now I'm learning beginner ballet (shoutout to Ballet Misfit on RUclips, her lessons are wonderful!) and I'm feeling really strong and having so much fun. I did the front splits for the first time ever this week!
Your channel is our continuous journey. You might not want to exercise when it gets cold but exercise will warm you up. You are always so honest about what you will continue do or not do and try. Sharing the most with us really makes you more human. Thanx
I walk 4 miles every morning and then do Pilates for 30 minutes. At the age of 56 I can put my palms flat on the ground and I can do a handstand. And it feels great when I finish the routine because I just feel energetic and loose and alive. This was a really good video!
Do you work?
You sound like a beautiful woman
Wow!! That's great! You are inspiration
@@gerafinali4384 If she works, she need to be very consistent with an amazing willpower
Brava
I think what people need to realize is no matter what movement 'routine' you choose, you will see far great benefits from consistent daily use of the body compared to just existing in stillness.
Consistency is always key!
@punkin314.. Yup 👍,
“use it or lose it”, “motion is lotion”..,
P.S. I also regularly enjoy my rocking chair & hammock..✌️
@@jedlimen123 If you rest, you rust! I LOVE my hammock ❤
@punkin314.. if you rest, you rust is actually very true! lol! … Everyone who has time should spend ten minutes daily in a hammock, if you don’t have time spend an hour..✌️
Just an extra bit of information. I bought the book a long time ago. It suggests that you start with 3 reps of each exercise at first and do that for a week, then each week increase each rep by 2 until you are doing 21 reps of each exercise. So in 10 weeks you will have worked up to doing all 21 reps. Also with the spinning rite, if you are in the Northern hemisphere you should spin clockwise and in the Southern hemisphere you spin in a counter clockwise.
The slow build up makes sense... I've just spinned 21 times and got nauseous 😅
Thanks! Very useful info!
Are you serious about the spinning? I'm waaaay down in New Zealand, so you're saying I should be going anticlockwise to unwind?🙃😉
@@angeladawn805 that's what it said in the Peter Kelder book called Tibetan secrets of youth and vitality How to look and feel younger using five ancient rites for stimulating your energy centres. I bought it in the UK in the late 80's. It had an edit that talked about natural phenomena like tornadoes and whirlpools which tend to spin in the opposite direction in the north and southern hemispheres. The exact wording in the book is "Therefore, in the southern hemisphere it is probably correct to perform rite number one by spinning counter-clockwise (ie right to left). So I guess it's either the writer's or editors interpretation. I do think these exercises are worth doing, I had awful back pain a few years back and started doing them again and it solved the issue within a week or so. I felt so much more flexible and generally free and full of energy too
@@juliafrackowska1558 in the book I have, it is written by the author who met an old man who was a retired British army officer, and they became friends, he meets up with the man four years later in America and doesn't recognise him because he looks so much younger. The book is written based on what the old man tells him about his time in a Tibetan monastery. The Colonel as he is referred to, suggests that you only practice the rite to the point of slight dizziness initially and that you can also do what figure skaters do by focusing on a point straight ahead and as you turn hold you focus on that point as long as you can then when you have to , spin your head quickly round to refocus on that point again. He also says not to do excessive amounts of spinning as that over stimulates some of the vortexes, which at first accelerates the flow of life but then blocks it. The monks tended not to do more than 21 spins. When I first did the rites, I started off with the 3 reps of each one and built it up by 2 each week, and I didn't have any issues
I used to be a massive yoga person, and since have had multiple injuries and surgeries, saw this, and tried a modified version `1 day on, 1 day off and I didn't do 21 reps at one go I started at 3, and have worked my way to 10, and I have noticed a huge improvement in my physical stability and strength. Thank you!
Think you are only supposed to do this in increments of 3.
Marissa, it's okay for parts of your life to remain private- you are so generous in sharing with us. Congratulations on meeting your 30 day goal and for being open to the changes it brought into your life! Very inspiring!
I was planning to make a very similar comment, but knew that someone else must have already. She is such a sweetheart!!! 🥰
I’m 74. I recently had physical therapy for a long term knee “swelling”. My right knee is perfect especially for my age. My PT lasted 3 weeks but I have continued my exercises at home for 5 weeks not missing a day. I too kept up with my achievements in a notebook instead of a calendar. My left knee is getting closer every week to feeling as good as my right knee. You should be so proud of your improvement. Don’t worry about what this big world’s opinions what’s important is being satisfied with your own progress. In the end that’s really all that counts. Thank you for sharing your journey.
As someone who goes to the gym regularly and at least looks pretty "fit," whenever I see someone at the gym who looks new to working out or unfamiliar with things, I think, Good for you! Hope you keep it up!! I don't think about them not knowing what they are doing. All gym go-ers have been there at one time. Don't let the fear stop you!
Thank you so much for being so vulnerable about your 30-day challenge! This has been motivating. I want to start my own challenge now! I cried with joy with you!
Actually the traditional yoga from India is also not static, it depends if you also combine mantra chanting or a breath meditation, like Surya Namaskar a recognisable one is a sequence of movements. Love the video
I am a former dancer. I’m very thin. I want you to know that I struggle with having people judge me for being too thin or weight training with tiny weights. Also, one of my daughters is the opposite of me. She also struggles with being judged because she is very curvy and she has had men make comments.
Sharing this is incredibly brave-and having a boundary about it as you work thru it is perfect.
Thank you for doing this. I want you to know I’m going to use this video to help teach my children these rites and implement them on a new family workout routine for our whole family. My husband is gone a lot and everyone has different fitness abilities on my house (including an adult autistic with low tone in his abdomen and three people with knee issues).
This will be perfect as everyone can do it in their own time, and for their own abilities and can feel confident about it. Thank you for making that possible thru your vulnerability.
Woman!! ❤ this is my favorite video ever!! You are beautiful for sharing your struggle. When you shared that you found joy in reigniting that part of yourself you thought was gone, man!! How inspiring for everyone!! Thank you so much for that transparency!!
Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind words, cheers ❤️
🥰🥰🥰
I don't judge. Anyone who can consistently do a morning routine for 30 days - my hat is off to you!!
Congratulations on finding that little bit of self you thought you lost again!
I've been currently going through the same thing and it feels so good to be able to reclaim that part of me again ☀️
Can't wait to see where your journey takes you!! Love your videos 🩷
Thanks Marissa for reminding us of the Tibetan Rites. I’ve tried them before, but never managed over a week 😅 you’ve inspired me to try the 30 challenge 🎉🤸🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️ I can definitely touch my toes, that’s no issue for me. I need to liven up my morning routine and with summer holidays coming to a close here in Copenhagen - it seems like the perfect time for a new beginning 🌱
Ohmygoodness! I TOTALLY get where you are coming from! I have never enjoyed working out in front of others, so I've always worked out at home (when I do). You are so brave to share this video with us! I am so out of shape, also, and you have encouraged me to start my own 30 day without challenge! THANK YOU, Marissa ❤!!!
I've been at a standstill with my morning yoga practice -- basically not motivated AT ALL. But THIS!! Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful and dynamic practice. I'm about four days in an already noticing positive changes. The best part about being 49 years old is that I'm not attached to the NUMBER of exercises I'm doing but more interested in the quality of the excercises. That said, I'm happy right now at repetitions of 10, which starts to really kick in when I get to the last Rite (Two Dogs).
Over the last year, I've been continually inspired by your honesty and encouragment in simplifying our belongings so we have more time and space for LIFE! Step by step, box by box, drawer by drawer we are getting there xo
I'm not above wearing my workout clothes to bed so I'm already dressed for activity in the morning. Like you, I enjoy checking things off. I recently started keeping an agenda, something I hadn't done since retiring. I put EVERYTHING on it, make the bed, do the dishes, swim...It really keeps me motivated. And I rely heavily on my Apple Watch. This might not be for everyone, and at first, I thought it was childish for my watch to show that I'd completed x amount of activity, but turns out, it really inspires me to reach my goal and track my activity. I never enjoyed team sports but I do like challenging myself.
I stumbled across this video and I’m so glad I did. I’ve been struggling so much with self-esteem, motivation, stress, and my relationship with food. Watching your video I aspire to be as comfortable as you are and admire how far you have come. I appreciate that you shared your vulnerability with us and didn’t minimize your journey. Looking forward to more videos- New subscriber.
Thank you for sharing your experiments and vulnerability. I’ve struggled for so long with so many things and most books and videos, while possibly inspiring, end up making me feel like I’m failing. But not your content. Watching your videos makes me feel seen. There’s a lightness, compassion and flexibility that feels unique to me. I’ve slowly started to declutter (in my maximalist way) and now am inspired to figure out my barriers and try a morning routine. Thank you. ❤
Thank you for your authentic honesty and sharing the videos each week
❤ It’s awesome to see how many of us you have inspired already with this fun and informative video! Thank you for sharing your struggles so openly and publicly. And thanks for that great tip about putting your calendar somewhere very visible!
Marissa, you are an inspiration. Your humble vulnerability is a beautiful trait. I wish you many blessings for your continued health and well-being 🙏🏼
Yes, I can touch my toes easily at 62. Doing Yoga helps with that, and I’m doing it for years. Currently and most loved doing Yoga with Adrienne, the 30 days Yoga challenge playlist. It’s only a few minutes a day and a great way to start my morning. And then a walk with my little dog. Loving your video to remind us all ❤
That’s amazing and thanks for sharing Adrienne’s channel - maybe someone else who sees your comment will find it helpful 👏
It's 9,45pm I stood up from the video and prepared my clothes for the morning exercise. I will do it again like I used to do it, with joy and kindness to myself. You can't imagine how much you helped me by sharing your feelings and the whole process. Thank you with all my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your ready to go workout space! I’m going to use it to model my own. This part is so underrated for regular practice. You’re an inspiration.
Wow, thank you for this! Many years ago I learned these 5 Tibetan Rites and intended to do them every morning. You’ve inspired me to start again! I love your very uncluttered rooms! 👍
Aw, so inspiring and reassuring! I totally relate to being self conscious about others judging when exercising, thank you so much for being honest and brave enough to share this. I too find it unbelievably hard sustain a regular exercise habit, a habit for myself. What you said about this is helpful, encouraging and relatable. Heartfelt thanks ❤
Yay!!! I am so excited about this video! You are amazing all the time, no matter your weight, but making fitness a priority will make your life better for your whole life!! I am a personal trainer, so obviously I love exercise. But I am also a former binge eater, so I absolutely understand the struggle, especially when it comes to food and body image. Thank you for having the courage to share this!
"It's not our ability to stick to good habits when things are easy, but rather our commitment to staying disciplined when things get tough and motivation runs dry that really shapes our future in determining the kind of person we are and the kind of life we're going to live." Thank you for your kind and inspiring words!
Yes, this last sentiment was helpful to me as well.
Wow, compliments!
In february this year i started a yoga challange. I sticked with it all month. Now we are at the end of july, and I practise still 20 min. Yoga everyday. My body changed sooooo much. Keep it up, you will see how much energy you will gain!
Really good stuff here!! From history, to movement, to room temp, to food/body … How generous of you to share with us. I’m so grateful! ☺️👏💕
Thank you for your honesty and for sharing this exercise practice. I will try it. You're so relatable and it just feels like chatting with a friend to watch your videos. Thank you for all the inspiration!💐
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching ❤️
I love this idea of doing the 5 rites each day. I, too, have set the challenge to do this for every day of August. I've just completed this mornings, that was hard and I had to stop a few times but I'm looking forward to seeing my improvements over the best 31 days! Thank you for sharing this.
So excited to see this video! My husband has been doing these rites daily for a year now and he swears by them. His mobility has improved tons. I thought he was the only one doing these exercises so I can't wait to share this video with him 😅. I do a daily 10 minute Yoga with Cassandra video daily, which I love. Maybe I'll give these Tibetan rites a try too. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Melissa! You do not have to do everything! Trust your gut about your boundaries. I am so glad you feel better. I had an injury and I fell out of exercising. You inspire me to start again. I will do the challenge as well! Lots of love
Good luck and lots of love right back!
Thank you, Marissa. You’ve motivated me to get back into my little morning stretch routine. It’s a minimal step towards fitness, but a step nonetheless. I’m so glad you re-discovered your movement joy!
I am 71 and am trying to use this easy routine for 30 days! Thank you for sharing your experience. I am not starting with doing 21 but gradually increasing the number of reps. I've practiced yoga stretches sporadically, but regularly (oxymoron), and I can see this additional practice a good addition to these stretches!
You did a good job showing the exercises. I’m always self-conscious no matter what, so I can relate. I liked how you showed the exercises and you looked like you were a pro. 👍 good job.
Thank you for sharing, and for what you didn't share lol. I had a serious illness and five surgeries in 2020 and 2021. After I recovered at age 67 I was in horrible physical condition after going from bed to chair for almost two years. I couldn't seem to get strength back and was embarrassed to go to a gym. I saw an article about a medical exercise program at a local hospital and signed up and the improvement in six months was amazing. Once you feel that change it frees you. It made me sad to think of how many people go through something like I did and just say well this is how I am now, or how many women turn 40 and just say I don't have the energy I used to have. We need to fight it. You are so amazing.
Thank you Marissa for sharing all oft this with us! I find lots of motivation in your videos and always look forward for new content ❤
Thanks for the reminder. My hubby and I used to do these years ago. I’m going to restart today!! It is actually pretty amazing how little you need to do to feel better, it’s just the starting that’s hard
Thank you so much for making this video!!! You've inspired me to step outside my 'self-imposed' boundaries. I want to work out in the morning and these 5 Tibetan rites sound great and helps set up for a good day. I also enjoy doing tai chi as it makes me feel so good, very relaxed and remarkably mindful. Thank you again! Have a wonderful week! 😊💖🙏
Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing. I like that these exercises are simple (not easy) to remember.
This was SUCH a lovely video to come across, it was meant for me to see! Absolutely lovely.
I have to say, though the link you shared to the yoga site, was good! I much preferred your presentation of the 'rites'!!!
I am also now a subscriber to your channel. I've been delving into little bits of decluttering more and more. It's just SO incredibly alluring and love how you've shared it with everyone.
I hope VERY much to try the Tibetan Rites. I am 54 and previous Kundalini Yoga for about 10 years, but not in the 'hard core traditional sense.'
Hoping to deploy measures of clearing the clutter on many levels! And try committing to a daily practice of yoga... (hopefully I can do the rites! I love that idea so much!)
Very grateful for you being here. You've made a VERY positive difference! 🤗🙏🌺
Marissa, you inspire me in so many ways! Thank you for introducing me to this unique exercise routine. I will give it a try.
This is so inspiring and motivating!! Thank you Marissa ❤
I was never able to touch my toes even after taking gymnastics class for 2 years when I was still a child!
Yoga is over rated.
Hi Marissa. Thanks for sharing this. I love the simplicity of this exercise routine and have decided to give it a go.
thank you so much for sharing this! yes I have such trouble sticking with a routine! perhaps I'll try... I love following your journey. Totally understandable for feeling uncomfortable on exercising for all the world to see! Nice job for being transparent!
I'm so proud of you! As one who is 61, I want you to know that I think you're doing awesome! Remember it's about how you feel, not what the scale says. I know I feel better after my morning stretches. ❤
YES! "It's like finding buried treasure and the treasure is a little part of myself that I thought that I'd lost forever..." --I understand! That made me cry- in a good way! You've inspired me! Today I will be bringing back my morning beach walk and adding the 5 Tibetan Rites into my morning routine! .... I have a life-long love affair with fitness...even though I am confident at the gym, I absolutely relate to the "Shy Fit Girl" you so very perfectly articulated! Moving our bodies in a way that moves our spirit is THE BEST! THANK YOU for sharing!
Thank you for sharing the before and after. Love hearing about results! You have perfect form! 💪
Thanks for sharing & being vulnerable, I love this morning routine & will give it a go. I used to do a similar one & have gotten out of the habit of doing it. I love it when we do something that reminds us of how good it feels to move! It almost always makes me want to do more...Have a beautiful week! 💗
You have a beautiful week as well and good luck!
Thank you so much! I used to do the 5 tibetans every morning in my 20s (way too long ago now) at the start of my spiritual journey! Thank you for bringing it back into my life, especially right now when I need it so much!💖
We got you, sister! A lot of us have "less than tight" tummy regions. You did great! A 30-day challenge sounds like a great way to start, and 5 pounds per month with "exercise alone" is awesome, plus your body composition tightened up overall!
I am so happy for you, discovering this new happiness for yourself. Thanks for sharing that with us. I can really relate to what you are going through in this process - since I practice sport daily first thing in the morning (from mid April this year) my life has profoundly changed - in a way I’ve absolutely not expected! Keep going ❤
Thank you for the inspiration! I can’t wait to try these. I started doing Pilates about 30 days ago and love it, I wake up excited to go in our new basement and workout! Like you, it was a piece of me from before kids that I thought was gone as I could never stick to any kind of routine.
Thanks for this video! It’s inspiring me to start doing the Tibetan rites again. Love the way you explained how to do them ❤
The inspiration I needed!! Your home looks so peaceful 💖
🤗❤️
Thank you!
For being so delightfully real.
And
You presented your experience and perspective so well.
And perfectly timed for me.😊
Blessings and wishes of health and happiness to you and your beautiful family.
B. Alexander
Good job!
Thanks for sharing! I had not heard of this type of yoga!
I am recovering from an injury and have gained over 50lbs over the past couple years. I just joined a gym to swim as physical therapy and I hated the idea of working out my larger body in front of a bunch of strangers. I did it but it will take some time to get over that insecurity. This was a really inspiring video! I used to be effortlessly flexible and now I can't touch my toes. That's my new goal moving forward!
Funny coincidence, I have just set a challenge for myself to exercise every morning before life and excuses get in the way. I am going to look up these Tibetan rights - never heard of them before.👍. It is definitely use it or lose it. I hike with a group of friends in their 60s and 70s every week. It is inspiring. I am in my 60s, and I still am self conscious about my body, even though I can haul it up mountains. I am learning to accept more. I have wasted too much time worrying about looks, time to focus on health. Health is everything, and you are beautiful btw.
Thank you for being real and honest with us. I am going to give this challenge a go!
This is exactly what so many of us need to hear (and see). Thanks so much!! ❤
I used to do the Tibetan Rites but I have osteoarthritis so I would have trouble doing a couple of poses, mostly the table top pose. I could try again and maybe work up to all of the poses. I enjoyed doing these and its a good way to start your day. Thank you!
I'm 73 years old and can touch my toes, yes. I yoga a few times a week, almost every morning, but sometimes I have no joy in it, because of my cold room. It lies at the west side of our house and there's almost allways a westwind here at the coaster of Holland. I'm going to try-out your exercises from Tibet for shore! Thank you!
I just discovered you, and I’m so excited! I started my own personal 30 day challenge this morning. And I invited my grown daughters to try it too.
I've been watching your videos for over a year now and I've enjoyed them so much so, that I've decluttered a huge amount of crap from my home. I have moments during the day where I declutter plus I dedicate one day a week to decluttering. This video showed me your depth and vulnerability and that, for me, is the base essence of where all starts. You are so beautiful and caring and honest. We share very similar backgrounds and angsts. So, I will start this challenge because looking down and seeing my toes doesn't mean I can touch them. I will weigh myself before and after. And when I tell others about this routine, I will also show my vulnerability and be deep and share. For me, it's sharing the real essence of ourselves that changes us and makes us real and happy and kind and grateful and relateable. Tschüss und danke.
This is so inspiring!!! Keep up the great work :)
I used to be a dancer. I let myself go - long story short, I lost 100 pounds (in my 60s) and joined CrossFit. I couldn't jump at all when I began (it was my forte as a dancer). Within months I could jump rope. I rediscovered my inner 10-year-old. I get it! Rediscovering that childlike joy in movement is an incredible feeling. Never want to let that go again! Love your channel - this is awesome.
🎉 thats so awesome
@@oops-iam708 Thanks!
Wow! that is an amazing accomplishment!
@@jillianjiggs84 Thank you!
Thank you! I started this routine today on your recommendation. I have been taking yoga classes a couple of times a week and love it, but it's really hard for me to get started at home. This seems very approachable and easier to keep consistent.
Refreshing honesty here ❤
I know the feeling of thinking a part of you was lost and finding it again after many years.
For your chin, I recommend the Cantienica method which can also be done especially for the face.
i am so glad to have found this.. I am 46 and temporarily suspended going to the gym since last month because of some medical reasons. I have been eating so unhealthily and feeling so sluggish and fat since then. Really looking forward now to doing these to keep some movement going.
OMG I hate working out around people so posting myself working out on video is always the last thing I want to do! Totally feel you!! Great video 🙌🏻
I really just loved this video! I have looked into the Tibetan rites before and you have totally inspired me to give it a try. It’s so great that it takes no equipment and barely any space. Thanks for sharing your journey! 🥰🙏🏻💞
What a great video! Very inspirational actually. I felt your sadness when you expressed that you felt you lost that specific part of you. I think we all go through that journey at times. 🙏💞
I definitely want to try these exercises! I also find yoga boring - i like that the exercises are so simple I can remember the moves and reps without having to follow a video. I agree about the buried treasure, thank you so much for your vulnerability
The last time I weighed 132.8 pounds, I was in the sixth grade I think. You did AWESOME!!! CONGRATULATIONS on your consistency!!! Inspiring for sure. I'm on a wellness path, myself. Thank you for sharing your routine! 💘 Once upon a time, I did get uncomfortable about moving my ass in public, but once I became truly confident that *my body has nothing whatsoever to do with my worth as a human* I just don't care what anyone thinks about my body. It's harder to judge my own body knowing this, as well. Keep up the wonderful work!
I just want to say thank you so much for introducing this to me. Since I first saw your video I’ve been doing them everyday for the last 2 to 3 months now. I do a strenuous workout twice a week, but I have always wanted something simple I could do everyday.
Doing the my “daily 5” now has become a wonderful habit for me and has increased my physical fitness. I’ve added to it some flexibility and balance as well and am amazed at the progress in such a short period of time. I’ve come to the conclusion that consistency trumps intensity. I introduced this to kids that I teach PE and other adults- who have thanked me.
I just want to thank you for starting something in me that has become such a gift! 🙏☺️
Nice job sticking with it!! I used to work out just for fun also. Now its hard to find the time. You’re not alone at all with being gym shy. I would never go to a public gym, hate the feeling like im being watched.
Habit tracking was a game changer for me! Just having the physical evidence of what I achieve in my daily dairy has definitely been motivating... I get up at 4am every morning to do yoga and meditate...the tracking has made sure I never skip a day.
Thank you for the motivation. I believe I'll start this 30-day routine.
Oh my goodness! I am so inspired! Thank you SO much for this video ❤ You are amazing! I love your content and always learn so much from you. I am not fond of mainstream yoga either. It really is boring and I prefer to move. Thank you for demonstrating each sequence of the rites. I was unfamiliar with this and I am now looking forward to implementing it.
My morning routines are walking for 40-45 minutes and do Yoga. But I am going to try the exercise you mentioned here. And I am going to do a 30 day challenge inspired by you! Thank you!❤
Marissa i can relate to this video so much. Once i got a CPAP machine my life turn around in 3 days! I was exercising for a year before but no weight loss. Then i lost 40 lbs in 6 months. Im 56 and feel more energy and enthusiasm for life than i had when raising my kids. It's great to be in touch with that inner part- I'm Baby Bull Strong 💪 and keep taking steps every day. Yep ITS A JOURNEY - ENJOY 🎉
That is so amazing! It’s crazy how one small thing can make such a huge impact - thank you for sharing, your comment might help or inspire someone else who sees it in the future as well 🙏
Hello Marissa. Great video! I recently discovered your channel while browsing content creators for minimalism. I like this video a lot! I recently recommitted to my own exercise program (weights and cardio; created by my personal trainer). You have inspired me to keep going! I also appreciate your humility and modesty in not wanting to share your specific body measurements. Similarly, I keep some things to myself. I am 53 years old and am at the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I am still seeking to accept that, but it is happening! Time for the gym! Thank you for your hard work! ✌️❤️
thank you for the motivation, much needed. you look great!
Very happy for the toes! And its okay to have limits for vulnerability. Inspiring journey!
I used to do 5 tibetan rites in the past but I still prefer yoga 🧘♀️. I am practicing ashtanga 4xweek and it is giving me strength and flexibility.
I’m new to yoga! It’s excellent for my back pain!! I now know the true importance of stretching! I think yoga is going to help me stay well in many ways.
Yoga is so powerful for both body and mind. Enjoy it and profit from it 🙏@@TheRoom2Breathe
I really enjoyed how much better you feel. I was told exercise every day helps with movement, sleep, mood and weight. I definitely want to get back into a routine that is good for me.
It’s amazing how much it spills over into all those areas 💪
Wonderful, heartfelt, honest and motivating video. Thank you.
Thank You for sharing this! Great Job! I really hope to start adding this to my daily routine. I am also not a yoga person, but I really think these moves are unique and different and will be easier for me to stick with.
After spending 4 months living in Baja I have learned to enjoy early mornings. Now my routine involves getting up early to hit the gym before work (!). I get up early enough for a 25 minute meditation before the gym. Never did I think I was a person who would get up to do things before work, but I enjoy it! Going to visit these 5 Tibetan rites, too. Thanks!
Oh yeah, I can touch my toes. never been a problem for me.
Yay first comment and second like. Love this channel. Best to your and your family. Thanks for posting this video.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting, hugs to you 🤗
This was so inspiring. It came at a perfect time as I need a boost to get my health back. Plus, you were so sweet the way you shared your personal revelation. Thank you!
I’ve started today and will try to go 30 days, but even after today-- it feels wonderful ❤️
Just exercising to maintain mobility is a plus. Thank you for sharing this method. I'm 68 and can still touch my toes, but I need to be more active.
It’s a great goal ❤️
You’re adorable and brave. It helps me to take my right hand, put it across my chest and pat my left shoulder and say to myself good job girl whenever I do something that is a challenge, so “good job girl “ !
I needed this! I was prioritizing health and doing yoga every day for four months and now fell away completely. This routine will be a great challenge for me to get back to it.
Thank you for the motivation! I will try this morning routine 🙂
Good luck 🍀👍
@@AtoZenLife I just tried it! It’s not easy but I love the challenge. I will continue this and looking forward to having some great results!
