    Hi Everyone! Hope you enjoyed this birthday Vlog.
    Just for transparency, I filmed the YESOUL Bike Review at the end but inserted it after my birthday dinner so that my sponsored segment wasn’t at the end of my video where views tend to fall off. That’s why I said I have been using the bike for a week (though in the video it looks like my review was the day after unboxing and setting up). Thanks for all you support and love as always! We got our first sponsor y’all! 🥹❤🫶

      I always watch your videos til the end! ❤ Just want to say that your vlog always gives me a sense of calm and just really love watching whatever you share! Heheh but also, have you ever tried yoga? It might have a great impact on you and it helps with everything that you mentioned where you were kind of struggling. Yoga completely changed my life, my outlook in everything, and just the entirety of my well-being. You don’t necessarily need crazy poses like what I’m doing lol but that just came from being very consistent. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKEE!!! 🎉🥳 I might just go visit San Diego this coming summer and would love to meet you if the universe permits hehehe

      @@GeorginaFlows I have tried yoga quite a few times! I was on a roll for a bit doing it at home via Apple Fitness classes. I find it super calming but I do get discouraged because I'm the most non-flexible person out there lol, so I fall off. BUT, thank you for the reminder. I'm going to give it another go because it really does make me feel good. And yes, if you come to SD, please keep my in the loop! Would love to meet!

    Happy (belated) birthday, Mikee! So much of this video resonates with me. I feel like a situational extrovert as well. I haven’t made a video in almost a month because I’m so unhappy with how I currently look, and it’s much harder to correct that at 46 than ever before. Cutting back on alcohol will help, I’m sure, so I’m going to take a similar approach to this summer as you. Thanks for the inspiration as always! 🎉

    • @MikeeRogers

    happy belated birthday, Mikee! it looked like you had a really fun birthday. thanks for sharing your thoughts on getting older with us. even though i can't fully anticipate how i'll feel, i'm actually really looking forward to getting older and it's always helpful to see people living their best lives in their 30s + 40s (and i recently found someone on youtube who's in their 50s and making videos)! given the way it's shaken out for me and a lot of my fellow zillennials, i imagine my 30s and 40s will be what i was told my 20s were supposed to be 😂
    also, about two months ago i decided i needed to take my physical health more seriously and got back in the gym and have been running more. it's been a little slower and my body is reminding me that i'm not 21 anymore but i'm still grateful to it for carrying me all these years. cheering you on in your health journey and in this next year of life!

    • @MikeeRogers
      @MikeeRogers  Месяц назад +1

      Thanks Emily! I'd have to agree that your 30's is what your 20's were suppose to be and so forth but that's just a fun way of explaining what growth really is. I made so many dumb decisions in my 20s but also made some great ones! In your 30s, those balance out a bit better and now in my 40s, the the scale is leaning towards the good decisions I make over the bad ones lol. All decisions, in my opinion, are still very important ones because they help shape our lives and how we grow.
      And love that you're looking into your health more seriously. It's never too late or too soon. You say you're body isn't the same as it was when you were 21 but the good news is, it could be better! It just takes time and the right mindset. I feel stronger in my 40s than I did in my early 20s.

I thought it was suspiciously cheap but after looking up reviews I ended up getting it. Not a super big fan of the app, but the bike and interface are amazing! I always watch RUclips or Netflix while on the thing it’s perfect and wayyyy cheaper and more functional than a peloton (in my opinion)

      Hey Phil! Thanks for watching! The black glasses are from Warby Parker in the style "callum" and the sunglasses are Oakleys. They're part of their lifestyle collection but I forget the name. They're super light and sturdy so they double as my running shades too.

      @@rvatxn No one is going out partying, cliff diving and hanging out at 58, let's be real. At 60 you are primarily preparing for retirement and living a very simple, sedentary lifestyle so that you can stay within your retirement budget. Everyone wants to be young forever, but life doesn't work that way. Death comes for us much sooner than we think and by 43, truthfully you don't really have all that much time left. Most of our kids will be leaving home very soon and starting college and going out into the real world while we wind down or working lives.

    • @MikeeRogers
      @MikeeRogers  Месяц назад +1

      I know some people in their 60s still doing the most (within limits of course) which is inspiring but I'm also logical so I get where you're coming from. While I think death comes at any time, we still have so much time in our 40s (minus things out of our control). If we're lucky to get to our 80's, we've just only lived half our lives. That's quite a good amount of time to make the best of this next chapter.

    • @kayflip2233
      @kayflip2233 Месяц назад

      @@MikeeRogers Yeah, but you've lived the healthy and energetic part of your life from 0-43. 43 to about 60 is still fine, you can live a lot of life in that 17 years. But 60 to 80 you will be slowing down a lot even if you're lucky to remain healthy. So really you have a good 20 years left to enjoy life, which isn't a whole lot of time in the grand scheme of things. I'm the same age as you so not making of you, it's just that life is short and our young years are in the past.

    You seems to have a wrong idea about getting older. Like it is a black hole you are falling into. For me getting older it is: getting wiser, more experienced, more relaxed, having better sex, a better relationship with others.. enjoying small things in life. I am happy that I dont have to struggle through life and try to find things out. I know who I am and know what I have become. I am ok and so are you! Just embrace things as the come. Stop worrying! It will all be fine...❤
