Today when I woke up in the morning I had a feeling I have to change my life for the better take better care of my health and finish little chores right away not procrastinate I question myself all the time why do I take the easy way all the time maybe after watching this video you feel like you want to change something in your life I wish you the best of luck
When I was fat, my ankles hurt so bad I could hardly walk. So, I bought an exercise bicycle and rode it for an hour a day, every day, as hard as I could at the time. I gradually made some dietary changes and I lost 50 lbs in 5 months. After losing 50, I felt as light as a feather so replaced the bike with a treadmill and ran one mile a day for a week, then 2, then 3 , then 5... Currently I weigh 187 lbs down from 255 lbs and I run 9 miles a day. Stay hard.
Well done!
@Frank dos Mayzu lmmfao 🤣🤣🤣
Did your thighs or feet sometimes pop almost feeling out of socket?
That's exactly whats happening to me . So when I decided to change my diet I really noticed how sugar affected me. Once I cut out sugar the pain in my joints started going away. I noticed this when I would slip and start eating sugar again and right away the pain started coming back. I did a little research and found out the sugar causes inflammation. Crazy
@@TheManion123 once you stop drinking pop for a year and sip it again found it too sweet . I lost 72 pounds once abs felt better.
This guy is awesome! I love his channel because he is by far the most positive TH-camr that I follow. The place is going to hell but that doesn't seem to phase his positive outlook on things. He's a very hopeful and kind person.
I'm glad I found this channel also....He's so caring and inspirational!
exactly! :)
He really is a beautiful soul. I usually visit Venice and Hollywood area at least twice a year from NY, but I haven't since covid. His positive outlook gives me hope and makes me miss it there so much.
I find him inspiring ✨️ and I always leave his channel feeling hopeful and happy. I am so happy he is in our world 🌎 and generation. We all can take a lesson on positivity from him.
I am a German Swiss in Indiana! I love this guys attitude. Such a kind and generous soul:)
A German Swiss? Great, I was living a couple of years in L.A. but that's a very long time ago.
BTW, greets from Switzerland, Wodz :-)
Kei Ahnig ob du en Düütscschwyyzer, oder öppe en Wälsche oder vom Tessin bisch, aber isch ou egau, bliib gsund und ja, Indiana isch en schöne Bundesstaat, het mir damaus wo mir mau vo FL uuf South Bend sih, guet gfaue.
Und ja, dä Mike het en gueti Ihstellig.

Dude your energy is beautiful.
I totally agree!
Your words are beautiful, meow 😿
Was gonna post something similar, wish I could have his positive vibes all the time....
Hallo Kumpel! Ich habe auch in LA gelebt. Habe jetzt noch einen Cousin in Süd LA. Ich habe das Talent bei Leuten zu sehen, was sie brauchen. Ich komme aus der Naturheilkunde.

@@frankanda9288 und was hast Du fur Multiple Sclerosis Schmerzen?
I started out with "why is this being recommended," but watched anyway and it made me smile.
Same here dude
Yup, come across his vids here and there, and tbh I ain’t mad
@@josenevarez3483 we all need a dose of light hearted, honest entertainment...
He looks like a funny German keebler elf with his pointy hoody sweater on hahaha keep going good luck duders
German, may I suggest something my friend. Don't do the Culver City stair if you're heavy, it'll tear up your knees. Walk from Venice to Santa Monica in the sand instead, or Venice to Marina Del Rey or something. Just do it in the sand, not concrete.
Yeah I know thank you I walked today from Venice and Santa Monica pier
Walking in the sand is tough.
@@smokingjoe9864 Less shock to your bones, better for you.
You do the stairs on the way up, and the switch back trail on the way down. Easy on the knees. Definitely don't do the stairs on the way down. On the way up definitely do the stairs.
I don't ever run on concrete. It is absolutely an awful idea for literally everyone.
This video put me in good mood, good vibe from you thank you!
😉👍
If I ever visit Los Angeles, I want to meet German in Venice!
I have been looking for him all winter on boardwalk keep missing him
@@joelincolnlincoln6315 you won't recognize him after his weight loss
He seems like a really cool guy.
You seem like a very nice guy..would love to meet you some day!
Ive tried a couple times, no luck
Who ever thought I'd enjoy watching a chubby foreigner? I really dig how kind and compassionate you are to the homeless folks. Cheers from Detroit!
I stopped drinking SODA and within 8 weeks felt incredibly good and dropped 20 lbs ! Eliminated red meat, eating only fish and chicken/turkey...
Wow ! Dropped another 6lbs.Walking 6 miles a day, dropped another 5lbs.Continuing on the path to being healthy and fit.Age 64 my energy level has increased 100%.No heavy weight bearing excersise due to Osteoarthritis that has spread from my hands to my knees, hips.Very grateful I'm able to walk long distances.
PS: I only drink water and LOTS of it.
Yo, you got this man! At the beginning of the lock down here in Canada I was 387 pounds (April 2020) today I am 304 with 220 goal !!!! Let’s do this together homie !!!
What's the secret behind ur weightloss pls tell me tooo .....❤️👍
@@spandandas8609 no secret, just caring more and making better choices. Just will power :/ lol
@@spandandas8609 not eating like a swine
@@krzysiekv12 that's the most difficult 😂
@@museick706 okkk👍
Man I wish I had friends or people around or at least someone to speak to with this mans mindset and goals at this moment
You can do it man!
When you make your lemon and apple cider vinegar drink... use hot water and add a teaspoon of honey to sweeten it... I also add a sprinkle of ground ginger and turmeric for my immune system...
And don't forget you have to get the apple cider vinegar that has 'with the mother' on the label.. 👍
"With the mother," which is the yeasty stuff. The problem with honey is that the sugar will probably break the intermittent fast. It may not matter in the beginning because he has a lot of weight to lose, but later on it will slow the weight loss.
@@fazdoll true. I never add anything when I’m fasting. However I typically can’t drink this when I do my 40 - 60 day fast. My trainers says any thing can lead to breaking the fast at that length.
@@fazdoll I wasn't aware anything was mentioned in the video about fasting..??
The addition of raw/organic honey wouldn't really matter in a diet which includes the apple cider vinegar... With diet, lowering carb consumption and regular exercise the metabolism will easily burn body fat.. The honey will take care of the flavour and add nutrition to the drink.. In addition, honey should be added to warm water and not boiling water..
Apple cider vinegar should be consumed diluted and not straight from the bottle as it can cause damage to the enamel of your teeth and the esophagus...
Hope my information is helpful to anyone reading it..
@@paulmarsh8974 Heh, I think you're right. I really thought he said intermittent fast when he was drinking the ACV. I must have hallucinated it. I hope he knows about IF. It's true that low carb will burn fat. But as he loses weight, weight loss will slow down and low-carb may not be enough, especially if he's trending toward diabetes II. By the way, anyone who has acid reflux or gastritis shouldn't drink ACV at all.

I agree with that quote :)

You rock, making yourself healthier is a great plan and an effort worth your while! I feel it would be great to watch you rescue yourself from the cliff's edge that you are dangerously dancing beside in your current condition. We count on your upbeat personality and selfishly look forward to many years more of you sharing your life with us.
Very beautiful sunset. Thank you and good job.
I just found your channel and love it 🥰. You are a positive voice in a world of negativity and believe in you thank you
I found him recently too and just love to take little rides with him thru Venice 😎🔥
Exactly Katie. Love the positivity.
Y’all late AF
@@Comeswoopfam I knooooooooow! 😆🔥😎
Today is the day to change. Let’s all improve our lives. Start now. 🤙🏾
I started a week ago, I'm down 7 pounds. I have quite a bit more to lose but I am trying to do it slow so it will be lasting. Trying to get rid all of the negative in my life and that includes negative people. Good luck everyone.
Ohk
Yes! I'm on BOARD
I think you are just adorable and I pray for you on this good health journey of yours! What an inspiration you are!
Thanks
Your honesty is going to help a lot of us....
In these times for real...
With you every step of the way, Mike!
Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing this. I truly appreciate it and I enjoyed it too. Thank you 😊. I love you ❤️. Have a blessed life my dear.
Just don't give up..
Hello..wow..you can do it.. only you can take care of health..love your self can be so successful in many ways.
My favorite TH-cam channel G.I.V!
Awesome ..a few little things like no sugar, low carbs, steamed not fried, buy an air fryer and an hour walking a day will make a massive difference for you! Try it for 1 month I garrantee you will see a massive improvement in health! 1 month at a time!
Thanks
@@germaninvenice you are most welcome my good man! I really enjoy your vids so thank you!
@@germaninvenice I want to tell you that I like your personality. I find you to be a very positive person. You have Cactus on the hill and I have cactus in a fish tank, in Delaware.
@@germaninvenice on your next video could you show us the same walking trail at sunrise and show us all the people exercising in the morning at sunrise.
I recommend you walk to the In-N-Out as "exercise" hehehe
MIKE. Great you put this idea up here for us to keep you accountable. We are waiting for part two of this great idea!
Always remember a little bit each day adds up, in one way or the other.
So, I already drank my glass of Water with apple vinegar today and say cheers to your glass.
Keep up the great work!
Settling in to watch your Transformation over the coming months
Best of luck brother! Eat lots of whole plant foods, there is no easier way to loose weight than fiber rich whole plant foods and some consistent exercise. I love Venice and visit it yearly from Canada but unfortunately not this year. I have been watching your channel to get my Venice fix though. Thanks for all the content.
Go keto or carnivore diet. You will be eating the most nutritious, bio available foods. You will begin burning fat as an energy source.
Derekkk
Heck Yeah buddy!! Being overweight sucks! AND no more motorized scooter/bike !! Peddle bike or roller skates or cruiser board!!! Have a good one Eh!!
@@gertch100 definitely worth a try. Keeto was great for me. I lost 60 pounds 6 months with just minimal exercise. Being in Keetosis is a great feeling and Small healthy meals were more than enough for my appetite!!
Lose, not loose
Outstanding Mike, you said it: self-discipline, self-respect, self-control. ❤❤❤👏👏
Nice hike amazing views of LA keep going, fit & healthy is a way of life !
It took me years to realize my biggest problem with my weight wasn't the lack of exercise, but the fuel I was putting in the tank.
Processed sugar and soda is the biggest problem, I lost 70 lbs but would cycle 25-35 miles a day and only drink water and eat in n out. Ppl talk about fatty foods but your body needs animal fats.
@@BACNandEGGS I know how great water is for you to take in daily. I've tried to force myself to drink just water. However I can only do it so long. Then I need something with some flavor. But I always avoid soda.
I used to lift a lot of weights and do wind sprints and running. My diet was terrible but I was strong and fast. I lost weight and do not exercise much. I diet and walk and do small dumbbell weights. Limit the carbs and fruits. More vegetables but in a good proportion. Everybody is different though.
This formula worked a thousand year ago. People from this village live on the average to 92 . eat half walk twice any laugh triple. But they did not have fast food and TV.
Absolutely 💯%
I love your personality!! So happy you just showed up in my recommended!! 🙂
Good for you on your goal this year. “Health is wealth!” 🙌🏻
I love your positive vibe & self-love! You are so IN THE MOMENT! Your enthusiasm inspires to enjoy the small things (really that is most of life anyway, right?).
He makes me feel as everything’s going to be ok. We so need more positive people like him! Lots of love 💖✨
Absolutely, it's okay because you're aware that it's not all okay and that something has to change. From there you build off that!
Awesome resolution.
Greetings frm Australia!
Walk before you run. 60 minutes a day. You can do it!!!!
Agreed ! Started 30 minutes a day Then one hour....Now over 2 hrs 7 days a week.
Feel Great !
U can do it were rooting 4 u💪💪💪💪❤🙏
Wow that transition to Venice was on point! Love your videos!
"I run, I stop, I run, I stop" -- That's called running in intervals and according to many trainers, it is actually the best way to do cardio. So, you 're accidentally doing the right thing! :-)
“It’s time for a change....I’m moving to Kansas City 😂😂😂
That’s my running too lol
Hi Mike from snowy Canada. Wish I was in Venice beach. Was there in 2019 and will have to come meet you next time. You’re inspiring me also to get in better shape!
Everyday is a new day. Don't become discouraged. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. When you see that you have put something off until later, give yourself a mental shake and get up and do it. Stretch as you are cleaning, walk when you can ride, meditate at least once a day and give thanks for the things you have. Above all keep a positive attitude. Good luck my friend. Looking forward to seeing your accomplishments. 🇺🇸🙏✌🦋☘🇺🇸
Hi Mike! I couldn’t agree with you more it’s time I change a couple things in my life and I already started one of my goals and I will work hard at my second goal and you just inspired me to get started, it will be difficult but it’s all about determination! Thank You Mike for the Inspiration and I wish you the best of luck in your goals “I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT”!!😁👍
Nothing can stop me I'm all the way UP! 🏃🏃♀️
You are amazing. Thanks for the inspiration. Never stop trying.
It takes time to make a life change a habit. You got this Mike!! Proud of you! ✋💜🙏🏼
Good luck. I started back with my old “Insanity” DVD workouts right before New Years. Have not missed a day and no booze since 12/31.
Still using them as well 👍🏽lol
The no booze really helps with the belly!! I drink beer so I know 🤣 ✌️

Hello from France, eating healthy , doing exercices and drinking only water is an every single day difficult challenge for many people includ me. All the best for your new resolution.
The most important thing is: only water! and sometimes wine. No beer.
France has some of the WORLDS GREATEST foods and wines.I WISH i could live there.Ann g.
Weigh yourself every morning, eat mostly protein and organic veggies ( stir fry ? ) cut out sweets and refined carbs.. wheat, pasta.. cut out ( or way back on )beer/alcohol, walk uphill carrying hand weights and walk down and ideally join a gym and do cardio and nautilus/ free weights. Go slow but stick with it 5 days a week. recently went from 195 to 165 and love it !
Something about watching this guy that make me happy. Keep on the journey buddy.
Brother, I've been a subscriber for a few months now. I really like your disposition on life. I think that if we ever met we can be really good friends, you are my type of people. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching.
I'm right there with you! I moved across the country so that I can be surrounded by something more inspiring and feel a different energy! Let's do this together :) Just like Michael Jackson says, "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change". Much love ♥
When the gyms were open in San Diego I was determined to lose weight and lost 80lbs in 8 months. I used the Stairmaster, an hour a day, 5 to 6 days week. Stairs will get the job done. Stay committed.
It’s all about the diet
Apple cider vinegar used to be my daily routine, I started it yesterday again after a bit of hiatus and I stopped smoking weed a week ago after a loooooong time. Your spirit that you provide has helped me make those decisions. Kinda funny/ironic you post a video with it all wrapped up. Thank you, German in Venice for what you do and pushin the good spirits
I Love this Guy. He makes the World an Amazing Place. God Bless Him. You Sir are the Man.
Across the world we people are same !
Make plans every single day but never keep our promises 😁
Best of luck ...

Oh my goodness!!!! Look at you German in Venice!!!!! Thank you for inspiring us!! You always are so cheerful and happy. Keep making videos!!!!
He’s a fantastic human being! I love his channel too.
Thank you for your great and entertaining videos! I always try to improve myself and my life at least a little each day. You're definitely on the right path. With your exercises, it's good that you also slow down, observe and connect with nature, such as the distant views and the up close flowers and bunny rabbits.
Positive thinking moves you forward, love the channel.
Wish you luck in your weight loss journey, Karen from Australia 🇦🇺👍
Love your videos. Watch often. You make me smile. Every video. Even if subject sad.
Your goals. What we all need to do. Idk if it’s lazy. Maybe like whatever. Often have to mentally force it to get going. Know I often do. Ugh. Getting over the hump of starting is the hardest. Good luck! :)
I’m so happy to see you doing this!!😄 it’s good for your health Mike♥️ we want you around for many years to come💯🥰
Way to go my friend, you've got this!!! Go easy on the knees Rocky

The snacking before bed time is the biggest issue with most.
Not if you snack on something healthy.
People who snack at night usually reach for junk food.
@@winning3329 its a bad habit....even on healthy food. The body needs rest including the digestive system.
Maximum till 5 PM
Eating snacks at night reverses weight loss
I took it to the point where snacking before bed was my only meal and lost loads of weight
He's so awesome! He's so uplifting, reassures me that there are still lovely people around and motivates me to be better myself. I want him to be my best friend!!! Actually I'm about where he is after all this pandemic stay-at-home, need to get back in shape and lose my covid weight.
I'm giving you two thumbs up👍👍and four stars⭐⭐⭐⭐this is a good video for me to watch
Yes, I felt it yesterday. Started assessing everything and realized that I changed in many ways without thinking about it, noticing I had. Hadn't had vices in awhile, smoking or drinking. Walked right into a forgotten organized life.
Keep working out Michael! I saw the pictures of you back in the 80's You were buff back then-you have the discipline - just do it, I am rooting for You*

I'm surprised your not coughing with all the smog ( cough ). I left Venice 1994 after the bad Earthquake.
I watch your videos to remind me why I left.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Its overcast...... chill
Left Venice in 1981, my friends thought I was crazy to move to Atlanta. Still here, don't regret the move.
You always brighten my day with your positive attitude! I love your videos!
Stay strong brother. You can do anything you put your mind to. The mind is very powerful it will try to talk you out of the healthier lifestyle. Just stay strong. You came to America and made life. You can do this. Good luck
Very inspiring thank you. Also beautiful sunset would love to visit.
I agree with you. ♥️
I am mesmerised by the gorgeous sunset 😍 good luck with your new changes just stay focused 🏃♂️ 💪👏
