The last year has been really difficult for me, but it’s taught me a lot. I’m right here cheering you on and SO damn proud of you wherever you are on your journey ♥️
I love how you can relate to those who who are starting at ground zero. I know you have some idea but not the most. You look so beautiful happy with yourself. Good for you!
Don't compare yourself to someone else. You rock for doing the 3 mins! I probably couldn't run for a minute right now, but i dont feel bad about others running for 60 mins and calling it a short run. Everyone is doing different things and like the saying goes "don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle".
I'm allowing myself to say hi, and say that weight training doesn't *necessarily* helps with pull-ups. I got them before even stepping foot in a proper gym :) Australian pull-ups (lower bar, you get under it and practice the move) are awesome to start practicing! I think Natacha has a tutorial on it, but I recommend thenx's tutorial too Go get em!! Pull-ups are so empowering :D
I feel you, it took me a year to do my own pullups, weight training doesnt help much. The only thing that helped was jumping up to a pullup going down slowly, and using a resistance band
I have 3 favs! I love Whitney Simmons and Madfit as well, they also give some amazing information & they’re also pretty motivational! If you ever run out of Natacha’s videos 🤍
@@natachaoceane You have such a positive personality, and you are true to yourself. You absolutely deserve this awesome man! I can see that he loves you unconditionally!
So reassuring to hear you reiterate that losing muscle temporarily from rest is NOT the end of the world. Muscles always come back stronger! love you and your work, natacha!
Coming back to this THREE YEARS later because I watched every step of the journey back then and have now herniated a disk myself at the fittest point of my life and I NEED to be reminded that if Natacha can come back, I can too.
You remind me of why I want to study physical therapy and why I am studying physical therapy. To see your face light up after being able to hold weights again, not for your appearance but for the ability and gift of movement makes me beyond happy and that I'm so grateful to be able to move. Thank you Natacha and I'm so happy that you're feeling better; only place to go is up.
you're a ray of light Britney. Physical therapists are incredible! I hope you realise how much of a difference you make to people's lives! You're loved and appreciated 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@natachaoceane Thank you. To know that you think so is beyond words. You never fail to make my days better, and I know how much of a positive impact you've made on thousands of lives, so I can only hope to one day be able to do the same.
Hey Natacha, this was me last year. I got chronic fatigue due to endometrosis and couldnt exercise for 4 months then recovered from an operation with no exercise for another 2 months. As a personal trainer it was soul destroying but now that I'm getting my fitness back I have more drive than ever to be my strongest and fittest. Plus once you've experienced not being able to exercise, you never take your body for granted again, you fall in love with exercise all over again and working out just feels like bliss! You're gonna LOVE the journey of seeing yourself progress. Excited to watch you smash it!
The fact that after a year of so little training you’re still so strong just shows how fit you are :0 youre such an inspiration and not just because of your strength!!!!!
As someone who has spent years recovering from a back injury and beating myself up for not being as fit as my peers and taking longer to build both progress and confidence in my workouts, I'm so SO stoked to see this video. It's given me so much more confidence to persevere with my fitness journey.
This is honestly so encouraging. I feel like it’s easy to judge myself and my strength journey when I’m always seeing athletes at their best. Getting to see your day 1 is so humbling and a big expression of your vulnerability. Thank you so much for this and I’m excited to be on this journey with you🤍💛🤍
Well done Girl! It's so hard when you feel like you regressed so much, doing something you love so much. I've watched you over the years and your videos helped me so much when I was stuck at home, going bat shit crazy for months. Also watching you and Mario, and how supportive he is of you, brings my heart so much joy!
“Detrained for a year” Natacha has me beat in my tryna build my strength for 2 years 🤣. But for real this is so amazing to see I love how happy she is getting back at it. You’re doing amazing!!!
just broke my foot and will be in a cast for 6-8 weeks…watching this video helps me so much knowing that i will get back to training and playing sports soon!! it’s so nice knowing there are other people who understand what it feels like to be injured and unable to train for a long period of time. thank you natacha!!
Omg, this is a miracle. I am going to spine surgery in 4 days and I won't be able even sit down for at least 3 months. I was so sad because gym was something my body and soul loved sososo much and i don't wanna lose the strength. And now I see you weren't able exercise for year too. I feel like i am not alone anymore although you don't even know i exist. Thank you Natasha, thank you by my whole heart. You are such an amazing inspiring person. You don't even know how much you helped me with my eating, mindset and now with this. I am so blessed I can watch you ❤️
My heart was hurting so hard listening to your frustration! I started my struggle with discs when I was a young mom twenty years ago. For anyone else reading this dealing with the pain and frustration of disc degeneration, in nearly all cases you CAN heal a disc without surgery! The trick is to do all you can when you can without pain. It takes some trial and error to learn what you need to avoid and be careful with (burpees for me or anything that requires folding in half). I sideline as a horse trainer and I compete in barrel racing at a pro level. There have been some periods where the disc has set me back, but I’ve been able to have a career and maintain a level of strength and fitness through it all these years. My best advice, do the PT exercises and gentle walking until you can move again, then do all you can as soon as you can without pain! Natacha is such an inspiration!!!!
You are incredible, congrats on being able to train again!! Hoping you’ll make a video one day about how you hurt your back/ injury prevention tips! (Currently also injured and cheering you on!!). ❤️🙏🏻
hey Maya!! A lot of the way I train normally in my videos are injury prevention/ building a strong base and getting the basics right. Unfortunately for me it was just a freak thing that I can't really explain/know what happened exactly ): I'll see what I can do though (: all my love!! xxx
@@natachaoceane Aaah, I understand! Nothing like a freak accident to throw one off. Will keep on watching/learning from your training videos to get my base back again 😊🙏🏻⛷
even if no one sees this, I just need to say it. Ive been watching Natacha's videos for a couple months now, maybe half a year because I got into doing HIIT workouts and she seemed to have a big influence on the TH-cam fitness community. Her mentality and outlook towards fitness has 100% changed how I feel about it too. And its only for the positive and has helped me to really find things I enjoy doing, I don't feel like excersising is a chore anymore and I don't hate myself if I don't do it. I listen to my body more and I am more intuitive about what I eat as well. I look forward to going to the gym and working out now, so thank you to Natacha and Mario for helping me improve my outlook on something that has impacted my life for the better
I cried a little watching you pick up weights again. How I felt when I was able to start running again. I think it’s important to remember that starts and stops are part of fitness and that’s okay!!
Now she knows what the rest of mortals feels when we´re starting, well, not really because she's much more fit, but the feeling doing it. I love how professional she is, admirable. A really scientist , how it must be.Thanks Natacha.
ahh thank you Hira, it's quite difficult making content during lockdown as there's not much going on here but I hope you enjoyed hanging out with us (: all my love!! xxx
@@natachaoceane totally understandable - specially since your best quality is your ability to create meaningful and deliberate content! Take your time and keep creating! P.S, almost finished week 1 of HOME. Reload. LOVING ITTTT
Ahh I love that you're showing us this!! I think when it comes to fitness trainers and athletes, we so often see them at what seems to be their "peak" and forget that they had to train just like us and had to really work and train just as hard to get to where they are! Seeing your positive attitude in this video despite not being at the same level was honestly so encouraging 🥺 thank youuu for being so real and honest and lovely Natacha!!
Girl, you ran HOW MANY MARATHONS BACK TO BACK IN ONE DAY JUST COS!!?! Remember who you are, you’re THAT girl. You’ve got the discipline and the motivation, your body will catch you back up in no time 💪🏻
I swear, this girl is the reason why ive gotten so far in my fitness journey. Shes so honest, and helpful. Love you, Natacha! I cant thank you enough💖 Im so glad youre back on the grind! Stay safe❤❤
I follow quite a few people where I don’t watch every single video they post, for various reasons. But with you, I watch literally EVERY single video you ever post all the way until the end. You know how to capture your audience’s attention and keep it. All of your videos are so interesting because you incorporate very funny vlog style content as well (obvs they're interesting for other reasons as well). I just love how genuine and sweet you are. And I really admire your healthy mindset around fitness and nutrition. I’m so happy your back is finally better- I struggle with severe back issues as well after breaking my back in HS cheer. Anyways, you’re so amazing. Please never change! ❤️
I cried watching this because I am so proud of Natacha. Her videos literally saved my life (I had a binge eating disorder from the time I was in 5th grade until 2020). Natacha deserves more than the world (Mario, too). I'm a fine dining server and a guest at one of my tables the other night was talking so negatively about food and her body. I flipped a piece of paper over really fast and wrote down "Natacha Oceane" and told the lady to search that name on TH-cam and she would be forever changed if she watched Natacha's videos. Natacha, you've changed so many lives around the world and for the better. If you ever feel down, please remember we all love you so much! x
Can I just say, watching you struggle to get those press ups in, was sooo encouraging to me. It just goes to show that training makes all the difference so I shouldn't beat myself up when I can't just crank out a bunch of something I haven't been trianing in.
I just recently tore my meniscus. I’ve never felt so lost in my life. I’m absolutely miserable. But I can’t wait until after surgery and rehab for me to restart just like you ❤️
hey Casandra, I completely get how you feel and we always come back stronger than before so you got this, everything is temporary and nothing linear. Sending you so much love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
July of 2020, my hip tilted and twisted. Worst pain of my life thus far. The aftermath, when my hip went back into place, wasn’t any better. Whenever I would sit down my entire IT band would contract. I just got back into running after many visits to the chiropractor, hoping I can finally run a half marathon by September. We all start and restart somewhere. ❤️😁
Hi Natacha, I don't know if you will ever read my comment. Anyway I've been following you for many years and I want to thank you because you share we us the real amazing you, you're so insiparional! ❤ I'm writing to you because it's a year and a half now that I've been struggling with a terrible back pain in my right side and my leg, and nobody can understand which is my problem. And I totally understand what you experienced because I can't recognise my body anymore and, most of all, I can't workout anymore. I feel so bad, fitness was a joy for me, as for you. So, it would be great if you can share any kind of advide to face this situation and find a solution, or maybe to be strong and not give up. I want to come back to be real me too! Anyway, thank you for everything, you're are the best youtuber ever! Love you, Lisa ❤❤❤
To be honest you have no idea how much better this makes me feel about my own progress with my body and the gym. I feel more confident knowing we all go through these stages with injury, depression, or trauma to not go to the gym. And to know we can start whenever makes me cry with you! I am so grateful for this video it helps with my guilt and shame.
I feel you on sports injuries. I sprained the shit out of my ankle 2018 and broke down crying because I was so frustrated at not being able to work out. It makes me so happy and fulfilled! Keep it up Lady. You're Adorable!
I’m with you. I got burnout in may and was put on sick leave (just coming back to work now seven months later) and my body just collapsed in the fall. I got a disk protrusion in September and after that pretty much every muscle seized up so I’ve been constant (sometimes almost unbearable) pain for months (AND THE EFFING DAILY MIGRAINES FROM HELL 😭) and I’ve been forbidden from training at all. But soon. My muscles are almost there. Migraines are gone. Shout out to my chiro and my Thai masseuse. They’re the real MVPs. Your positive attitude really helps mine =) it’s been so hard to feel like I’m losing everything I’ve worked for and I’ve felt like I did something wrong but to see someone with your strong physique struggling with something similar is so helpful and hopeful to me (but awful for you). Thank you so much for sharing.
Dearest Natasha, I‘m so happy to see you this happy getting back to training! The fact that you are a bit weaker now might make you even more inspiring because you are at a starting point again just like so many of us are. Also your portrayed happiness stems from connecting to your body and movement which is just so great to see! You don‘t focus on getting a more muscular body again but on the joy and freedom that exercise gives you!!! Ly for this
I just want you to know that I’m so happy for you. You’re such an inspiration, and the amount of positivity in your videos is unreal. Thank you so much for everything that you do! ❤️💜
thank you so so much, it really is the best to have such amazing support ♥️ I hope you love everything you are working on and feel so proud of your progress!
Hi Natacha, I'm sad you got injured but this video is invaluable. We always see athletes competing no matter what and performing no matter what and the reality is that coming back from injury is hard and some days you can't do anything. I was a middle distance runner and was always in pain. I couldn't go down the stairs most days without holding on to the bannister. I got sick because of over training and being run down and ended up with a flu that lasted 4 weeks. I lost a lot of weight because of a fever and not eating much, when I came back again I was told that my weight was perfect for running and was told to not gain the weight back again. At that point I realised how toxic sport can be for men and women. Seeing you bounce back and approach everything with optimism is wonderful, thank you for sharing your journey and story. I have anorexia and will do forever, to be honest it is the drive to succeed (even through starving myself) that made me competitive in the first place and I have to harness that same thing and channel it into something better. You went through the this too and have made an invaluable contribution to the story of athletes. Hope you have a great recovery and enjoy the small achievements, I never could but I'm learning from people like you.
Your hair is so gorgeous in the waves! 😍BTW girl you not working out looks amazing, I know it's undeniable mental control over us. The endorphins, that high you get when finished a great session wiping the sweat from your lip barely anything beats that. It will take you a miniscule amount of time to get back to the mentally sound and harder physic you crave. You got this!
this made me pretty emotional, I can't imagine how you must have felt for the whole year and I did tear up when you mentioned how Mario has been your biggest support because honestly you deserve it, you're so cute! this also feels really motivating, I had severe neck pain a couple of weeks ago and even if it didn't last for more than 3 days, it was depressing because how much it hurt and not being able to move at all and the loss of confidence in myself after getting back to working out is definetly there too. But I believe that by taking it easy and building up the strenghts again will lead to a much stronger confidence and appreciation of what our bodies can do.
It’s been almost a year since I got sick. I used to play tennis couple times a week and it was the only thing that made me feel so happy. It was like my dream come true. And I was thinking - I’m gonna win something, I don’t care what other people say („you started playing too late, you’re not gonna win anything”). And yeah, I thought - I’m going to prove something to all of them. And then I got sick. My hand started swelling and couple months later I felt pain everywhere. I couldn’t even put jeans on, because my leg was hurting so much. Last time, when I played tennis, it was August. And I don’t know when I’m going to come back. I feel like my doctors don’t really care about me. I still feel pain in my leg. I’m just 16 and I already know what does it mean, that you’re not able to do something. And there’s nothing you can do about it. I am so jealous and happy for you at the same time. I hope that you’re gonna get better and better with every single day. Lots of love 💕💕
hey, I just wanted to say I totally understand 💛 I’m 16 too and I have several chronic illnesses, one of which makes me pass out a LOT (like, pretty much anytime I even stand up for walk around). I got diagnosed almost exactly a year ago too. We’re both gonna get better and be able to enjoy the things we love again. Sending so much love and strength your way
hey! i have a stress fracture on my right foot and i haven't been able to lift or run or do any standing exercises for over 5 months as well. It's really tough that i can't do the things i enjoyed and loved to do anymore. But it'll get better! Praying for your injuries to heal! Let's stay strong :)
I really appreciate you posting something as vulnerable as your first workout back after recovering. I participate in a very dangerous sport (BJJ) and I have been injured SO many times it's unbelievable. In the past three years, I've broken my hand. Sprained my thumb. Torn my quad tendon. Needed surgery to remove a knee bursa that developed a staph infection after recurrent bursitis. I'm always amazed at two things: 1. how difficult the first workout back is (3 chin ups felt almost impossible after surgery recovery and complete bed rest) and 2. how quickly I spring back once I am able to train again. I'm sure you know that endurance with stuff like push ups and pull ups is slower to return than strength! I'm staying motivated right now by doing weighted chin and pull ups, as somehow those are easier than trying to approach old rep goals.
What I really love most about your videos is that you're positive and have a happy mindset and this motivates me so much, because when I was younger I was like that too and then I got bullied because of my weight and all of a sudden I thought so negatively about myself, my body and the whole world. Before I loved to move and dance and as soon as I got bullied my mood went negative and always nippicking on my body and appearance. Me working out or doing sports felt negative and like a force because my only goal was losing weight to me. I also never lost anything I always gained fat because I restricted my food and it backfired in me eating more cheat meals and being stressed about that.... As you said sport and movement can be for fun and be something you want to do instead of forcing yourself, I remembered that I really love to move my body and dance and I should put the fun movements in my workout. With watching your videos I feel I have learned so much about nutrition, food, sport and myself as a human being that I want to thank you. :)
this vid makes me feel so at peace with my body, being in quarantine and feeling like you're losing all the progress you've made is the worst, thank you so much for this !!!!
You should do an updated "day of bloating" video! I struggle a lot with loving myself at the end of the day when I'm all bloated, so I think it would be helpful to show that bloating is normal.
This is very insperational. It makes me realize that i have no real reason to not workout. There are people in the world who would love to be able to excersise but they can't for whatever medical reason they have. Thank you for making me realize that I am blessed with the body i have and i shouldn't take it for granted.
You’re such an inspiration, I used to be really fit until 2019 when I slipped into depression and lost motivation for anything, and your videos the past few weeks have motivated me to get moving again and learn to appreciate and remember what I was able to do, so thank you, and wish you well ❤️
I’m so ready to see your progress LET’S GOOOOO! As a fellow weightlifting enthusiast, I could totally understand your frustration, nearly lost my mind back the time when my right knee was injured, the mental struggles of seeing your results from years of hard work slips always really sucks, glad I got it back though. Best wishes to you as well Natasha, looking forward to see more new contents❤️❤️
I've never clicked so fast lol. Also I restarted your program BUILD. and I've absolutely been loving it so far! Still trying to get the nutrition part sorted out but otherwise I love your style of training and your philosophy on fitness so much. Thank you for being such an inspiration. ❤️✨
hey Baylee! ahh I will be training with Build in a couple of months when I'm strong enough/gyms reopen and I can't wait! If there's anything you need help with about the nutrition part or feedback you have I'm available on email natachaoceanee@gmail.com (: you got it though (: all my love! xxx
This made me cry. Like knowing where you were in your fitness journey, and seeing you now. It's really sad how years of training can be lost in a short period of time. But I know you will get there again. You have a great mindset. I'm so happy that you can work on your strength again. Good luck girl!!
I have multiple sclerosis and just restarted my fitness journey, since my diagnosis. I feel so weak and defeated but watching this made me feel better. Seeing you "start fresh" makes me feel like my goals are attainable. I love you and your channel!!!
All the best for your restart. MS is a mean disease. It takes a lot out of people physicall and also mentally. It takes a special, stong kind of person to keep going and not give up. Much respect for you!
Fellow Disc-Slipper here...I have been so frustrated for well over a year now because i still can't train properly (or at all right now) and this video has given me so much hope! :) my recovery process has been so up and down, also bc of covid, but now i see myself getting to the point of getting back into it and your video has been EXACTLY what i needed in so many ways! LOVE LOVE LOVE and please keep us updated on the progress!
I've been watching you for a few years with so much envy. I have a history of a bad back and have had 3 spine surgeries on my discs (lumbar) since 2017. So to find someone else (young like me im only 22) who I can relate to on so many levels (body changing without really being able to do anything about it, missing hard workouts, the struggle of building back up, and most importantly the fear of it all happening again) is honestly life changing. I was a gymnast as a kid and thats what started it all and my family are all insane athletes, so they've had to watch me since I was 13 limit my activities. I had surgery in August 2020 so im building back up with you! Ive done it before and got to feeling myself again so I know we can both do it! were in this together and its so amazing for me to find this because its so hard to talk to anyone my age who either has never had a bad injury or doesn't love/live to workout. Thankyou for sharing and I understand those tears like no one else
Obviously I wish you didn’t have this happen to you BUT I honestly think this journey will encourage SO many people! It’s so refreshing to see someone you look up to so much in fitness start from scratch again. You’re gonna smash it!
I love you so much Natacha!!! For the past 6 months I’ve been really overtrained and tired and I keep getting weaker and I’m not happy with how I’m performing in my workouts at all. So I’m taking a break and then I’m going to try to slowly build back up. And watching you come back from your injury has been so helpful for me to stay positive and remember that going hard isn’t always the best thing when your body needs rest so I shouldn't feel guilty about it. I really couldn’t have made it through 2020 without your videos and positivity so thank you!!! 💕
As someone who came back from a ruptured ACL, so much of this brings back feels. Congrats on getting back to it! The progress is gonna come so quick and the process will be even more enjoyable because of this experience.
It's so refreshing to see someone not beating themself up about losing some strength. I have problems with my back too and I find it so difficult not being able to lift my usual weights and kick myself about it. Thanks gal for being real!!
I'm a latin ballroom dancer and I was sick for the past two weeks and now every practice is so damn hard. I felt very discouraged for a while because before that I saw great progress in both my indurance and strength and now I've lost a lot of it. Even though I now it's not such a long of a period. But now watching your video I've literally cried with you and smiled with you!!! Now because of you I've replaced the discouragement with gratitude for being able to dance and train again. Thank you, Natacha! ❤️
I'm about to go on my first run in aaages, really motivated and ready to get fit again, as I've been lacking motivation this past year. Now this video popped up 👌🏻let's get stronger again together, Natacha! 💪🏻
I was diagnosed with two prolapsed discs in October 21. I still cannot stand up for longer than about 3 or 4 mins without being in pain. I can walk about 100 yards max. I’m exercising every day in the swimming pool - aqua jogging not swimming- to extend and decompress my back. Osteopath is fab but she is slightly concerned that I’m not improving as fast as she had hoped. I’m now waiting on a referral to neurological surgeon and orthopaedics in case I’m still in this state in 6 months or more. I used to cycle for 45-75 mins a day and walk a min of 60 mins a day with my dog. It is really depressing not to be able to do these things. I can’t lift anything heavier than a jar of jam so the idea of doing weights is massively exciting. The pool work is great for core and resistance in arms and legs but it is not really cardio work. Well done for your recovery. I bet it feels awesome!
I’m so excited that you’re bringing us along on this journey! As someone who’s always been “athletic” but has also dealt with constant ehlers danlos injuries I don’t think I’ve ever related to you more! Sending you so much love and gratitude! Xo Ellen
Just so happy to see you so happy!🥰 Take the time to have some YOU time with your body. So happy to watch you grow then!🤗😍 Wishin you all the strength in the world Natacha!
The last year has been really difficult for me, but it’s taught me a lot. I’m right here cheering you on and SO damn proud of you wherever you are on your journey ♥️
So happy you’re back 😍😍
You are the best ❤️
Difficult or not you've still been here shining like a star for all of us this whole time 🌟🌟🌟 keep going lovely we all believe in you 💕
I love how you can relate to those who who are starting at ground zero. I know you have some idea but not the most. You look so beautiful happy with yourself. Good for you!
A srong one, you are! I'm really glad your back, Nat. I know for a fact that you'll eventually get to where you wanna be!!
Ok but why is Mario more supportive than the concrete foundation of my house
hahahah I don't know what I did to deserve him but I wouldn't be the same without him 🥺

I came here for this comment.
Don't compare yourself to someone else. You rock for doing the 3 mins! I probably couldn't run for a minute right now, but i dont feel bad about others running for 60 mins and calling it a short run. Everyone is doing different things and like the saying goes "don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle".
Good job!!
Natacha: does 4 pull-ups after not training for 9 months
Me: cant do one pull-up and consistently weight-train 🥲
You’ll get there
Literally me lol
I feel this comment so hard!
I'm allowing myself to say hi, and say that weight training doesn't *necessarily* helps with pull-ups. I got them before even stepping foot in a proper gym :)
Australian pull-ups (lower bar, you get under it and practice the move) are awesome to start practicing! I think Natacha has a tutorial on it, but I recommend thenx's tutorial too
Go get em!! Pull-ups are so empowering :D
I feel you, it took me a year to do my own pullups, weight training doesnt help much. The only thing that helped was jumping up to a pullup going down slowly, and using a resistance band
Natacha is literally the only woman “fitness influencer” I watch that actually puts out valuable information cause she doesn’t BS you.
She's the only female fitness influencer I follow. Really wish there where more like her, even on the male side of the industry she's exceptional.

You can’t knock lying on the floor till you try it. Seriously, the floor feels amazing.
tbh I'm so with you on that, plus when you roll around kinda feels like a massage too 😂😂😂
I 100% agree with you, it's calming.
@@natachaoceane I love rolling around on the floor after I’ve done cooling down and stretching, nice little back massage 🤣👌🏻
Seriously though- women need gentler exercise that won't spike cortisol and adrenaline, thus leading to depressed thyroid and fat gain.

hahah I know!!! I'd be lying if that wasn't the first game I played when I moved in 😂😂😂
Pls make this video
Coming back to this THREE YEARS later because I watched every step of the journey back then and have now herniated a disk myself at the fittest point of my life and I NEED to be reminded that if Natacha can come back, I can too.
WHAT REASON to people have to dislike this. We're all celebrating with you, Natacha!
why was i gonna cry at how happy she was after she lifted that first dumbbell. im so happy she's back bby
🥺 forever the best support in the world, thank you Olivia ♥️
Ditto! ❤️❤️❤️

ok Mario saying" you're going to be back" was the sweetest most sincere thing ever
he's literally the best I don't deserve him 😭😭😭
@@natachaoceane you are an incredible human with the most loving pure energy!! You absolutely deserve him!! Xx
@@natachaoceane YES YOU DO because you are wonderful too! It makes me happy to see such a good team, you guys are the best.
You remind me of why I want to study physical therapy and why I am studying physical therapy. To see your face light up after being able to hold weights again, not for your appearance but for the ability and gift of movement makes me beyond happy and that I'm so grateful to be able to move. Thank you Natacha and I'm so happy that you're feeling better; only place to go is up.
you're a ray of light Britney. Physical therapists are incredible! I hope you realise how much of a difference you make to people's lives! You're loved and appreciated 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@natachaoceane Thank you. To know that you think so is beyond words. You never fail to make my days better, and I know how much of a positive impact you've made on thousands of lives, so I can only hope to one day be able to do the same.
Hey Natacha, this was me last year. I got chronic fatigue due to endometrosis and couldnt exercise for 4 months then recovered from an operation with no exercise for another 2 months. As a personal trainer it was soul destroying but now that I'm getting my fitness back I have more drive than ever to be my strongest and fittest. Plus once you've experienced not being able to exercise, you never take your body for granted again, you fall in love with exercise all over again and working out just feels like bliss! You're gonna LOVE the journey of seeing yourself progress. Excited to watch you smash it!
The fact that after a year of so little training you’re still so strong just shows how fit you are :0 youre such an inspiration and not just because of your strength!!!!!
I know I'm shocked at her arms !!! How?! Hahah
this is some wholesome shit
🥺🥰♥️ thank you for watching!
The Mario bit of him “struggling” to lift the weight had me absolutely dying of laughter
When she brought that tiny belt i died 🤣🤣
Hahah that lockout wobble. Iconic.
I’m obsessed with your hair like this!!! It’s so so pretty
♥️ aw thank you! I just bought this waver and I'm really liking it! 🙈🙈
Ok i don't wanna be creepy but i see u everywhere Sam Elle like literally under every video i watch lmao
Omg you again 😭😭😭
@@agathaprairie4705 same I always see her everywhere
@@agathaprairie4705 i was just about to comment the same thing lmao
I am in the same situation you were 3 years ago, and you can not believe how inspiring this video was to me! Thanks for sharing your beautiful start
As someone who has spent years recovering from a back injury and beating myself up for not being as fit as my peers and taking longer to build both progress and confidence in my workouts, I'm so SO stoked to see this video. It's given me so much more confidence to persevere with my fitness journey.
This is honestly so encouraging. I feel like it’s easy to judge myself and my strength journey when I’m always seeing athletes at their best. Getting to see your day 1 is so humbling and a big expression of your vulnerability. Thank you so much for this and I’m excited to be on this journey with you🤍💛🤍
Well done Girl! It's so hard when you feel like you regressed so much, doing something you love so much. I've watched you over the years and your videos helped me so much when I was stuck at home, going bat shit crazy for months.
Also watching you and Mario, and how supportive he is of you, brings my heart so much joy!
Totally 💯
Please document this journey. I've only now started using weights and I'd love to see what your process is, especially now we can't go to gyms!
“Detrained for a year” Natacha has me beat in my tryna build my strength for 2 years 🤣. But for real this is so amazing to see I love how happy she is getting back at it. You’re doing amazing!!!
just broke my foot and will be in a cast for 6-8 weeks…watching this video helps me so much knowing that i will get back to training and playing sports soon!! it’s so nice knowing there are other people who understand what it feels like to be injured and unable to train for a long period of time. thank you natacha!!
You and Mario are so freaking funny, I just love the funny bits y’all have. 13/10 here for the banter.
I'll take a 13/10 any day 🙏🙏🙏
Omg, this is a miracle. I am going to spine surgery in 4 days and I won't be able even sit down for at least 3 months. I was so sad because gym was something my body and soul loved sososo much and i don't wanna lose the strength. And now I see you weren't able exercise for year too. I feel like i am not alone anymore although you don't even know i exist. Thank you Natasha, thank you by my whole heart. You are such an amazing inspiring person. You don't even know how much you helped me with my eating, mindset and now with this. I am so blessed I can watch you ❤️
Wishing you all the best! Hope you recover well❤

hey my girl! you're actually so sweet, thank you for taking the time to be so supportive! Sending you all our love!!
Alternative title: Natacha starts goes from mere mortal back to a goddess
My heart was hurting so hard listening to your frustration! I started my struggle with discs when I was a young mom twenty years ago. For anyone else reading this dealing with the pain and frustration of disc degeneration, in nearly all cases you CAN heal a disc without surgery! The trick is to do all you can when you can without pain. It takes some trial and error to learn what you need to avoid and be careful with (burpees for me or anything that requires folding in half). I sideline as a horse trainer and I compete in barrel racing at a pro level. There have been some periods where the disc has set me back, but I’ve been able to have a career and maintain a level of strength and fitness through it all these years. My best advice, do the PT exercises and gentle walking until you can move again, then do all you can as soon as you can without pain! Natacha is such an inspiration!!!!
Also lets just appreciate how good Natacha looks in that black and white print activewear
It looks like a set from Oliver Bonas but the back of the top is slightly different!
i just wanted to say that you inspired me to start eating breakfast again. i used to skip it every day but because of you i started eating it again.
ah this comment is so wholesome, been making myself eat breakfast too cause i used to skip it so much to cut calories but it’s so important 🥺
@@clairemouton9487 i’m so glad you started eating it again 💞 💞
You are incredible, congrats on being able to train again!! Hoping you’ll make a video one day about how you hurt your back/ injury prevention tips! (Currently also injured and cheering you on!!). ❤️🙏🏻
hey Maya!! A lot of the way I train normally in my videos are injury prevention/ building a strong base and getting the basics right. Unfortunately for me it was just a freak thing that I can't really explain/know what happened exactly ):
I'll see what I can do though (: all my love!! xxx
@@natachaoceane Aaah, I understand! Nothing like a freak accident to throw one off. Will keep on watching/learning from your training videos to get my base back again 😊🙏🏻⛷
even if no one sees this, I just need to say it. Ive been watching Natacha's videos for a couple months now, maybe half a year because I got into doing HIIT workouts and she seemed to have a big influence on the TH-cam fitness community. Her mentality and outlook towards fitness has 100% changed how I feel about it too. And its only for the positive and has helped me to really find things I enjoy doing, I don't feel like excersising is a chore anymore and I don't hate myself if I don't do it. I listen to my body more and I am more intuitive about what I eat as well. I look forward to going to the gym and working out now, so thank you to Natacha and Mario for helping me improve my outlook on something that has impacted my life for the better
I cried a little watching you pick up weights again. How I felt when I was able to start running again. I think it’s important to remember that starts and stops are part of fitness and that’s okay!!
Now she knows what the rest of mortals feels when we´re starting, well, not really because she's much more fit, but the feeling doing it. I love how professional she is, admirable. A really scientist , how it must be.Thanks Natacha.
This just got me so excited! I've been binge watching your older videos, waiting for a new one!
ahh thank you Hira, it's quite difficult making content during lockdown as there's not much going on here but I hope you enjoyed hanging out with us (: all my love!! xxx
@@natachaoceane totally understandable - specially since your best quality is your ability to create meaningful and deliberate content! Take your time and keep creating! P.S, almost finished week 1 of HOME. Reload. LOVING ITTTT
I'm so glad you're getting back into your activity!!
thank you so much Heather 🙏🙏🙏
14:20 "Oh, look at the smile!!" 😍 I love how in love and cute Mario is with youuuu!
And it makes me so happy to see you motivated to get back on track
Ahh I love that you're showing us this!! I think when it comes to fitness trainers and athletes, we so often see them at what seems to be their "peak" and forget that they had to train just like us and had to really work and train just as hard to get to where they are! Seeing your positive attitude in this video despite not being at the same level was honestly so encouraging 🥺 thank youuu for being so real and honest and lovely Natacha!!
Girl, you ran HOW MANY MARATHONS BACK TO BACK IN ONE DAY JUST COS!!?! Remember who you are, you’re THAT girl. You’ve got the discipline and the motivation, your body will catch you back up in no time 💪🏻
I swear, this girl is the reason why ive gotten so far in my fitness journey. Shes so honest, and helpful. Love you, Natacha! I cant thank you enough💖 Im so glad youre back on the grind! Stay safe❤❤
I follow quite a few people where I don’t watch every single video they post, for various reasons. But with you, I watch literally EVERY single video you ever post all the way until the end. You know how to capture your audience’s attention and keep it. All of your videos are so interesting because you incorporate very funny vlog style content as well (obvs they're interesting for other reasons as well). I just love how genuine and sweet you are. And I really admire your healthy mindset around fitness and nutrition. I’m so happy your back is finally better- I struggle with severe back issues as well after breaking my back in HS cheer. Anyways, you’re so amazing. Please never change! ❤️
I cried watching this because I am so proud of Natacha. Her videos literally saved my life (I had a binge eating disorder from the time I was in 5th grade until 2020). Natacha deserves more than the world (Mario, too).
I'm a fine dining server and a guest at one of my tables the other night was talking so negatively about food and her body. I flipped a piece of paper over really fast and wrote down "Natacha Oceane" and told the lady to search that name on TH-cam and she would be forever changed if she watched Natacha's videos.
Natacha, you've changed so many lives around the world and for the better. If you ever feel down, please remember we all love you so much! x
Can I just say, watching you struggle to get those press ups in, was sooo encouraging to me. It just goes to show that training makes all the difference so I shouldn't beat myself up when I can't just crank out a bunch of something I haven't been trianing in.
I just recently tore my meniscus. I’ve never felt so lost in my life. I’m absolutely miserable. But I can’t wait until after surgery and rehab for me to restart just like you ❤️
hey Casandra, I completely get how you feel and we always come back stronger than before so you got this, everything is temporary and nothing linear. Sending you so much love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@natachaoceane I needed that more than you know. Thank you! I love you so much girl ❤️❤️ xoxo
As someone who has gone through this same thing, it's comforting to see someone so fit have the same struggle.
July of 2020, my hip tilted and twisted. Worst pain of my life thus far. The aftermath, when my hip went back into place, wasn’t any better. Whenever I would sit down my entire IT band would contract. I just got back into running after many visits to the chiropractor, hoping I can finally run a half marathon by September. We all start and restart somewhere. ❤️😁
Hi Natacha, I don't know if you will ever read my comment. Anyway I've been following you for many years and I want to thank you because you share we us the real amazing you, you're so insiparional! ❤
I'm writing to you because it's a year and a half now that I've been struggling with a terrible back pain in my right side and my leg, and nobody can understand which is my problem. And I totally understand what you experienced because I can't recognise my body anymore and, most of all, I can't workout anymore. I feel so bad, fitness was a joy for me, as for you.
So, it would be great if you can share any kind of advide to face this situation and find a solution, or maybe to be strong and not give up. I want to come back to be real me too!
Anyway, thank you for everything, you're are the best youtuber ever!
Love you,
Lisa ❤❤❤
To be honest you have no idea how much better this makes me feel about my own progress with my body and the gym. I feel more confident knowing we all go through these stages with injury, depression, or trauma to not go to the gym. And to know we can start whenever makes me cry with you! I am so grateful for this video it helps with my guilt and shame.
Come for the fitness content, stay for the pure comedy.
Mario “deadlifting” is the funniest. Seriously so supportive....both of them of each other. Couple goals 💪💪
I love how much you laugh when Mario is around 💖
haha he cracks me up all the time I don't know how he does it!! 😂😂😂
I feel you on sports injuries. I sprained the shit out of my ankle 2018 and broke down crying because I was so frustrated at not being able to work out. It makes me so happy and fulfilled! Keep it up Lady. You're Adorable!
I’m with you. I got burnout in may and was put on sick leave (just coming back to work now seven months later) and my body just collapsed in the fall. I got a disk protrusion in September and after that pretty much every muscle seized up so I’ve been constant (sometimes almost unbearable) pain for months (AND THE EFFING DAILY MIGRAINES FROM HELL 😭) and I’ve been forbidden from training at all. But soon. My muscles are almost there. Migraines are gone. Shout out to my chiro and my Thai masseuse. They’re the real MVPs. Your positive attitude really helps mine =) it’s been so hard to feel like I’m losing everything I’ve worked for and I’ve felt like I did something wrong but to see someone with your strong physique struggling with something similar is so helpful and hopeful to me (but awful for you). Thank you so much for sharing.
Dearest Natasha, I‘m so happy to see you this happy getting back to training! The fact that you are a bit weaker now might make you even more inspiring because you are at a starting point again just like so many of us are. Also your portrayed happiness stems from connecting to your body and movement which is just so great to see! You don‘t focus on getting a more muscular body again but on the joy and freedom that exercise gives you!!! Ly for this
I just want you to know that I’m so happy for you. You’re such an inspiration, and the amount of positivity in your videos is unreal. Thank you so much for everything that you do! ❤️💜
thank you so so much, it really is the best to have such amazing support ♥️ I hope you love everything you are working on and feel so proud of your progress!
im crying at how supportive mario is. im also cheering you on, Natacha!
Hi Natacha, I'm sad you got injured but this video is invaluable. We always see athletes competing no matter what and performing no matter what and the reality is that coming back from injury is hard and some days you can't do anything. I was a middle distance runner and was always in pain. I couldn't go down the stairs most days without holding on to the bannister. I got sick because of over training and being run down and ended up with a flu that lasted 4 weeks. I lost a lot of weight because of a fever and not eating much, when I came back again I was told that my weight was perfect for running and was told to not gain the weight back again. At that point I realised how toxic sport can be for men and women. Seeing you bounce back and approach everything with optimism is wonderful, thank you for sharing your journey and story. I have anorexia and will do forever, to be honest it is the drive to succeed (even through starving myself) that made me competitive in the first place and I have to harness that same thing and channel it into something better. You went through the this too and have made an invaluable contribution to the story of athletes. Hope you have a great recovery and enjoy the small achievements, I never could but I'm learning from people like you.
Your hair is so gorgeous in the waves! 😍BTW girl you not working out looks amazing, I know it's undeniable mental control over us. The endorphins, that high you get when finished a great session wiping the sweat from your lip barely anything beats that. It will take you a miniscule amount of time to get back to the mentally sound and harder physic you crave. You got this!
this made me pretty emotional, I can't imagine how you must have felt for the whole year and I did tear up when you mentioned how Mario has been your biggest support because honestly you deserve it, you're so cute!
this also feels really motivating, I had severe neck pain a couple of weeks ago and even if it didn't last for more than 3 days, it was depressing because how much it hurt and not being able to move at all and the loss of confidence in myself after getting back to working out is definetly there too.
But I believe that by taking it easy and building up the strenghts again will lead to a much stronger confidence and appreciation of what our bodies can do.
It’s been almost a year since I got sick. I used to play tennis couple times a week and it was the only thing that made me feel so happy. It was like my dream come true. And I was thinking - I’m gonna win something, I don’t care what other people say („you started playing too late, you’re not gonna win anything”). And yeah, I thought - I’m going to prove something to all of them. And then I got sick. My hand started swelling and couple months later I felt pain everywhere. I couldn’t even put jeans on, because my leg was hurting so much. Last time, when I played tennis, it was August. And I don’t know when I’m going to come back. I feel like my doctors don’t really care about me. I still feel pain in my leg. I’m just 16 and I already know what does it mean, that you’re not able to do something. And there’s nothing you can do about it. I am so jealous and happy for you at the same time. I hope that you’re gonna get better and better with every single day.
Lots of love 💕💕
hey, I just wanted to say I totally understand 💛 I’m 16 too and I have several chronic illnesses, one of which makes me pass out a LOT (like, pretty much anytime I even stand up for walk around). I got diagnosed almost exactly a year ago too. We’re both gonna get better and be able to enjoy the things we love again. Sending so much love and strength your way
hey! i have a stress fracture on my right foot and i haven't been able to lift or run or do any standing exercises for over 5 months as well. It's really tough that i can't do the things i enjoyed and loved to do anymore. But it'll get better! Praying for your injuries to heal! Let's stay strong :)
Omgg, so freaking proud of Natacha, when she started working out you could actually see her eyes lighting up, thanks for the realism in this video ♡♡
I really appreciate you posting something as vulnerable as your first workout back after recovering. I participate in a very dangerous sport (BJJ) and I have been injured SO many times it's unbelievable. In the past three years, I've broken my hand. Sprained my thumb. Torn my quad tendon. Needed surgery to remove a knee bursa that developed a staph infection after recurrent bursitis. I'm always amazed at two things: 1. how difficult the first workout back is (3 chin ups felt almost impossible after surgery recovery and complete bed rest) and 2. how quickly I spring back once I am able to train again. I'm sure you know that endurance with stuff like push ups and pull ups is slower to return than strength! I'm staying motivated right now by doing weighted chin and pull ups, as somehow those are easier than trying to approach old rep goals.
What I really love most about your videos is that you're positive and have a happy mindset and this motivates me so much, because when I was younger I was like that too and then I got bullied because of my weight and all of a sudden I thought so negatively about myself, my body and the whole world. Before I loved to move and dance and as soon as I got bullied my mood went negative and always nippicking on my body and appearance. Me working out or doing sports felt negative and like a force because my only goal was losing weight to me. I also never lost anything I always gained fat because I restricted my food and it backfired in me eating more cheat meals and being stressed about that....
As you said sport and movement can be for fun and be something you want to do instead of forcing yourself, I remembered that I really love to move my body and dance and I should put the fun movements in my workout. With watching your videos I feel I have learned so much about nutrition, food, sport and myself as a human being that I want to thank you. :)
i’m actually in tears for how happy you were when you picked up the dumbbells🥺 i’m so HAPPY for you!! HELL YEAH YOU GO GIRL!!!♥️
this vid makes me feel so at peace with my body, being in quarantine and feeling like you're losing all the progress you've made is the worst, thank you so much for this !!!!
You should do an updated "day of bloating" video! I struggle a lot with loving myself at the end of the day when I'm all bloated, so I think it would be helpful to show that bloating is normal.
hey Charenor! I will see what I can do! All my love (: xxx
I have to thank you for being so completely transparent! It's refreshing to see a fitness person showcase both their ups and downs of their journey.
This is very insperational. It makes me realize that i have no real reason to not workout. There are people in the world who would love to be able to excersise but they can't for whatever medical reason they have. Thank you for making me realize that I am blessed with the body i have and i shouldn't take it for granted.
You’re such an inspiration, I used to be really fit until 2019 when I slipped into depression and lost motivation for anything, and your videos the past few weeks have motivated me to get moving again and learn to appreciate and remember what I was able to do, so thank you, and wish you well ❤️
I’m so ready to see your progress LET’S GOOOOO! As a fellow weightlifting enthusiast, I could totally understand your frustration, nearly lost my mind back the time when my right knee was injured, the mental struggles of seeing your results from years of hard work slips always really sucks, glad I got it back though. Best wishes to you as well Natasha, looking forward to see more new contents❤️❤️
I've never clicked so fast lol. Also I restarted your program BUILD. and I've absolutely been loving it so far! Still trying to get the nutrition part sorted out but otherwise I love your style of training and your philosophy on fitness so much. Thank you for being such an inspiration. ❤️✨
hey Baylee! ahh I will be training with Build in a couple of months when I'm strong enough/gyms reopen and I can't wait! If there's anything you need help with about the nutrition part or feedback you have I'm available on email natachaoceanee@gmail.com (: you got it though (: all my love! xxx
@@natachaoceane Oh nice! And aww thank you so much I'll be sure to reach out if I have any questions!😊💗
I love the support during the pull-ups....”there’s no time limit, just don’t let go and keep knocking them out”...so wonderful
This is so cute her happiness makes me feel so grateful for being okay and I'm so happy she recovered ^^
I LOVE her attitude! Accepting her body's ebbs and flows in strength is such a healthy mindset
This made me cry. Like knowing where you were in your fitness journey, and seeing you now. It's really sad how years of training can be lost in a short period of time. But I know you will get there again. You have a great mindset. I'm so happy that you can work on your strength again. Good luck girl!!
I have multiple sclerosis and just restarted my fitness journey, since my diagnosis. I feel so weak and defeated but watching this made me feel better. Seeing you "start fresh" makes me feel like my goals are attainable. I love you and your channel!!!
All the best for your restart. MS is a mean disease. It takes a lot out of people physicall and also mentally. It takes a special, stong kind of person to keep going and not give up. Much respect for you!
Fellow Disc-Slipper here...I have been so frustrated for well over a year now because i still can't train properly (or at all right now) and this video has given me so much hope! :) my recovery process has been so up and down, also bc of covid, but now i see myself getting to the point of getting back into it and your video has been EXACTLY what i needed in so many ways! LOVE LOVE LOVE and please keep us updated on the progress!
I've been watching you for a few years with so much envy. I have a history of a bad back and have had 3 spine surgeries on my discs (lumbar) since 2017. So to find someone else (young like me im only 22) who I can relate to on so many levels (body changing without really being able to do anything about it, missing hard workouts, the struggle of building back up, and most importantly the fear of it all happening again) is honestly life changing. I was a gymnast as a kid and thats what started it all and my family are all insane athletes, so they've had to watch me since I was 13 limit my activities. I had surgery in August 2020 so im building back up with you! Ive done it before and got to feeling myself again so I know we can both do it! were in this together and its so amazing for me to find this because its so hard to talk to anyone my age who either has never had a bad injury or doesn't love/live to workout. Thankyou for sharing and I understand those tears like no one else
Obviously I wish you didn’t have this happen to you BUT I honestly think this journey will encourage SO many people! It’s so refreshing to see someone you look up to so much in fitness start from scratch again. You’re gonna smash it!
I love you so much Natacha!!! For the past 6 months I’ve been really overtrained and tired and I keep getting weaker and I’m not happy with how I’m performing in my workouts at all. So I’m taking a break and then I’m going to try to slowly build back up. And watching you come back from your injury has been so helpful for me to stay positive and remember that going hard isn’t always the best thing when your body needs rest so I shouldn't feel guilty about it. I really couldn’t have made it through 2020 without your videos and positivity so thank you!!! 💕
As someone who came back from a ruptured ACL, so much of this brings back feels. Congrats on getting back to it! The progress is gonna come so quick and the process will be even more enjoyable because of this experience.
It's so refreshing to see someone not beating themself up about losing some strength. I have problems with my back too and I find it so difficult not being able to lift my usual weights and kick myself about it.
Thanks gal for being real!!
Yes! It’s a healthy mindset. 🙂
I'm a latin ballroom dancer and I was sick for the past two weeks and now every practice is so damn hard. I felt very discouraged for a while because before that I saw great progress in both my indurance and strength and now I've lost a lot of it. Even though I now it's not such a long of a period.
But now watching your video I've literally cried with you and smiled with you!!!
Now because of you I've replaced the discouragement with gratitude for being able to dance and train again.
Thank you, Natacha! ❤️
shes at our human level at the moment.
Natacha is the realest person on TH-cam. Legend
I'm about to go on my first run in aaages, really motivated and ready to get fit again, as I've been lacking motivation this past year. Now this video popped up 👌🏻let's get stronger again together, Natacha! 💪🏻
ahh that's amazing - when you feel motivated you got to go with it!! I'm with you all the way and enjoy your run!! All my love!! xxx
@@natachaoceane thank you!! Sending you love from Germany! ❤️💪🏻
Happy that you can now work towards regaining confidence in your abilities! And so sweet that Mario was supportive all throughout.
I was diagnosed with two prolapsed discs in October 21. I still cannot stand up for longer than about 3 or 4 mins without being in pain. I can walk about 100 yards max. I’m exercising every day in the swimming pool - aqua jogging not swimming- to extend and decompress my back. Osteopath is fab but she is slightly concerned that I’m not improving as fast as she had hoped. I’m now waiting on a referral to neurological surgeon and orthopaedics in case I’m still in this state in 6 months or more. I used to cycle for 45-75 mins a day and walk a min of 60 mins a day with my dog. It is really depressing not to be able to do these things. I can’t lift anything heavier than a jar of jam so the idea of doing weights is massively exciting. The pool work is great for core and resistance in arms and legs but it is not really cardio work. Well done for your recovery. I bet it feels awesome!
I’m so excited that you’re bringing us along on this journey! As someone who’s always been “athletic” but has also dealt with constant ehlers danlos injuries I don’t think I’ve ever related to you more! Sending you so much love and gratitude! Xo Ellen
also you're one of very few fitness influencers that make me feel good about myself, love you for that❤
This is exactly what fitness influencers should do surely. It’s sad there isn’t more that make us feel good about ourselves 🙌🏻

Take the time to have some YOU time with your body.
So happy to watch you grow then!🤗😍 Wishin you all the strength in the world Natacha!
Your relationship with Mario is amazing, couple goals 100%. I´m glad you are doing better, cant wait to see your comeback. Lots of love!
