The one thing that has always kept me on track personally was, drinking very cold water with a tiny hint of lemon right when I wake up. Then I would follow that with a high protein shake. Once that’s digested, about an hour or so, I’d eat a breakfast that would consist of 2 hard boiled eggs, 1/2 avocado spread over 1 slice of Dave’s killer seed bread sprinkled with turmeric, black pepper and salt, and 2 cups of raw veggies. Eating raw veggies with every single meal is what helped me stay on track. Even steamed worked fine. The #1 thing that helped me lose weight was when I’d stop eating after 6-7pm. If my bedtime was at 10pm, that gave me plenty of time to digest my dinner, and I swear when I would eat past 7pm, my fat loss wouldn’t be nearly as good. I don’t know why this is, but for me personally it’s always worked really well. If I did get ravenously hungry at night because I worked out hard that day, I’d eat 1/2C low fat cottage cheese with a tiny bit of fruit preserves. Cottage cheese apparently helps with melatonin production which helps you sleep better.
A little bit of a twist but the same concept there’s a lot of value to room temperature water with a teaspoon of lemon and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar there’s actually a ton of science behind it. Yes, first thing when you wake up and then brush your teeth. And if you’re thinking but I have heartburn all the time I can’t have that much acidic stuff, it actually keeps away heart burn and read up about ACV/lemon water it has soooo much good.
Following a high protein diet got me high uric acid and high cholesterol. I think including food from all categories in a balanced way is the way to go
1- Eat more protein - try fitting 25%-30% of protein along with vegetables in your diet. Protein keeps you full. 2- Drink more water - try cold water 3- Do high-intensity workouts - check out his MRT exercise (high intensity workouts with rests) 4- Start lifting weights 5- Get good sleep 6- Drink green tea - helps body temperature so your burn fat more 7- Drink coffee - can increase metabolism by 11% 8- Fidget more 9- Expose yourself to cold 10- Walk after meals
This is such a great dive into increasing metabolism over 40. I've noticed since I've turned that I have more trouble losing weight. This is great for helping me lose more weight

Hey Doc. Since discovering this project about three weeks ago, I started my fitness journey. But, for donkey years, I have heard that room temperature water is the best, so I switched to that. My 16 year old son told me what they were saying about cold water was not true, but of course, I am the adult so I didn't listen. This project for me is a life-saver. You do not focus only on the outer but also the inner. And best of all Doc, you do not promise any three hour, thirty day or three month miracle. It is just a life style, healthy change. The toned and sexy part is just the icing on the cake. I will upload my progress soon. Doc, a big, huge and massive thank you for looking out for people our age. May God bless you and your family. Please take care. 🇯🇲 Jamaica.
Fellow jamaican here.Tips are simple but makes so much sense and do-able .lm on it right now.l write them down on my daily affirmations board so lm always reminded.Thanks a lot
I just wanted to say how happy and excited I am to have come across this channel. I am a mother of two young children and work full time. Working out was a part of my lifestyle until I had my second child. I’m in my early 40s and these videos have been encouraging me even more to make the time, especially the sleep, to get back on track at this stage of my life! Thank you!!!
I hear ya. I'm in a similar boat. Except I have one child and a single mother. In my 20s and 30s, I was free to go running every day. But now I have to make time to work out in the home. Thankfully, we have TH-cam to help with that
@@stephanies3862 oh my gosh yes my wife literally feels that. I can't imagine doing that as a single mom. Well done. I pray it gets easier for you. My wife homeschools and we have 4 so life is chaotic and we have worked to find easy ways to make it sustainable!
Hi @maratheleo! I'm super glad you are finding resources to help. My wife feels it too, its a struggle. I'm really excited with how much progress she has made after our 3rd and 4th children were born which is amazing! All the best!
Great point about gaining muscle mass increases metabolism. I've always told my gf that the best way to lose fat or not gain fat is to gain muscle mass. She doesn't believe me. I need to show her this video.
Of course increasing muscle mass will increase your metabolism. However, there are other ways to increase your metabolism such as by taking stimulants! Like coffee.
Thank you for sound, easy to follow advice. After becoming pescatarian about 10 years back, I’ve just begun the keto (well ketotarian) lifestyle and was searching for tips for women over 50 to keep my metabolism charged up! Thanks again!
I’ve been successful incorporating all of that except coffee. I just hate the flavor of it. Anyway, I drink 24-48 oz water before I eat anything - that was my first simple lifestyle change about 2 years ago now. I am faithful about doing it daily too. MCT is a more recent add for me but it’s been super helpful as well. I do intermittently fast, on a 16/8 schedule. That’s now, when I first knew I had to make some lifestyle Changes (as in drinking more water and it is cold water most of the day), I started with simply not eating after 7PM. It was a simple, easy way to start. I use fasting 16/8 now to help my body become metabolically flexible. These days, I try to stop eating at 6PM too….I don’t always make it because, well, life but I don’t beat myself up for it either. I’ve lost 70-75 pounds, mostly over the first year or 15 months of implementing those simple changes. I’m now looking to gain muscle and get rid of some fat (or body recomp) for a leaner look. I’ll be 53 in a few weeks. My goal was to feel the best I could on that birthday and be able to be active and do the things I love to do. 😁 I’ve really enjoyed finding so much helpful info on TH-cam and just subscribed to your channel. Now if you can help me get over my dislike of coffee, that would be something of a miracle.
You don't have to drink coffee if you don't like it. Do you like tea? There are many wonderful varieties of tea and they're very healthy: green, black, white, oolong, pu erh, rooibos, tulsi, hibiscus, and many other blends and flavors. Just drink tea instead.
Concise and solidly based upon science. 'Metabolic investment', more protein, more water-related, great sleep combined with not watching calories. My pivot came from eliminating processed food which allowed intermittent fasting. Great video with solid science. Thank you!
To sum up: 1.Eat more protein 2.Drink more water, cold water is better 3. HIT exercise 4. Start lifting heavy things 5.Get great sleep 6.Drink green tea 7.Drink black coffee 8.Add MCT (Medium chain triglyceride) to your diet 9.Fidget more 10.Use cold (eg.cold water to shower)
Thank you for this video. I feel like the perfect storm for weight loss stall. I had high success with keto in 2018 and 2019. Easily kept off the weight at ages 35 and 36. Then stage 3 cancer hit and brutal chemo. Lost almost all muscle and lost 30 lb, also forced me into pseudo menopause. Had to follow chemo with 9 WEEKS of prednisone, inflammation, little sleep even 2 years later. Needless to say my body is still a wreck 2 years into remission. My cycle came back 1 year post chemo and now I’m 41. I’m doing everything I used to do before cancer and it’s not working. I will look into your program, just subscribed today 😊

I never seem to get enough sleep and I always feel hungrier and eat bad foods when I'm stressed and haven't slept much. Thanks for explaining the concept so well - I had no idea how important sleep is for the metabolism, production of insulin and keeping a healthy weight. This is definitely something I need to fix soon!
Thanks for the great advice!! I am a 47 year old woman and I have been lifting weights daily for the last few weeks - deadlifts (300 per week is my goal, but I definitely do more), bicep curls with 20 lb dumbbells, shoulder and chest presses, push-ups for no reason, goblet squats, and sprints (was running up to 20 miles a week but not dropping any weight). I also go outside every 2 hours and walk in the grass with no shoes and to maybe do some push-ups or burpees in the grass. I am seeing small improvements so far (nicer arms, a plumper butt, thighs showing some definition).
Thank you so much for a ton of information I can use and didn't know until today. You are a fresh of breath air as most knowledgeable people on this subject are only willing to SELL the information for a price. You are very much appreciated and respected.
Sleep for a single parent is tough. Between school drop off and pick up, work mornings, after school activities, dinner homework, bath time, back to work until midnight or sometimes until 2am, sleep until 6:30. Any ideas for good sleep?
Contrary to your claim, I lost the most pounds by doing yoga and Pilates, and occasionally hiit. my body was now taut while my gym was limp and I wasn’t losing pounds. something else suits everyone. I am 46 years old and weigh the same amount. I am 165 tall and I am a former ballerina
I'm 41 and people get shocked when I tell them my age. It's all about moving the body and healthy diet routine. A lot of water, spices and good sleeping. 👌❤️🙏
If you are older and a beginner don’t start off with high intensity training. Instead build up your heart and lungs gradually. Sooner or later you’ll be able to do high intensity workouts. I know someone who died of a heart attack because his mindset was he can still do what he did when maybe 15 years younger than he was. Truth is even if something seems simple and you’ve done it before that doesn’t mean your heart is still built to do it today. So gradually build your heart and lungs to be able to do high intensity workouts and even more so when you are in the higher age ranges. I’m sure you all will get there have a great day.
I have listened to so many of these informed videos, but it just never gave me what info I needed to start - not that they were not good. But, this one was for me and I want to thank you for keeping it simple but informative. Obviously I have subscribed!

How do I get one of your free programs. I’m 61 been fit for the last 11 years but sleep isn’t easy for me. Great tips. I’d like to try your MRT! Thank you
I am so glad I came across this video. I realize that losing weight has become harder as I have aged. Harder yes, but I have not given up. I will fix my sleep. Drink cold water, fidget by standing on my vibration plate with dumbells, and walk after dinner. Lastly, be consistent this 28 pounds must go. Thanks again. 🤸🏾🤸🏾🤸🏾

I love these type of videos!! Thank you! I am a 33 year old mother of three. Being 5 months postpartum, I’m ready to start exercising!! 🤗 I have always been health conscious when choosing the right foods to put into my body. However, without movement you rarely see a change in metabolism… thank you!
Great advice. Agree with all of it, especially the protein consumption. The one thing you have to watch out for with high-intensity exercise is that it pauses fat cell regeneration and over time causes volume loss in the face.
I'm glad I listened to your advice and tips since I've started to get fit and strong in my 60 it's definitely a challenge but I'm sticking to my exercise routine and I'm Starting to see great changes thank you for being here helping people to get strong and healthy.
Amazing Thank you! Gonna start applying a couple of your tips and will increase them as I adjust my lifestyle. 55yrs and time for me to get back in shape!
Thank you for this. I appreciate your insights. I am not discounting your suggestion to drink cold water, as it may work for some people, but I found the opposite to work effectively for me. I tried drinking cold water in the morning or any other time within the day, and found it to be bloating.....I am in my mid 50's.... I have 3 adult children and two grandchildren but people mistake me to be in my late 30's or early 40's. Over a decade, I have been drinking 4 cups of very warm water every morning upon waking up and it helps me maintain a flat stomach. Then I drink 2 cups of ginger, mint Green tea with 1/4 spoon of cinnamon and fresh lemon before my work out, and I stay energized from morning till 8 pm. I eat my first meal at 12 pm which consists of mixed nuts, half air roasted plantains then I drink my black coffee... My problem is that I have formed the habit of eating my dinner very late like 10 pm. My dinner is usually 2 scrambled eggs with onions, unfortified nutritional yeast, carrots, sugar snap peas, cucumbers, avocado and a small chunk of wild caught Atlantic mackerel or salmon. 1 hr after meal, I drink 4 cups of hot tea made with green tea, mint, chamomile, and cascara sagrada tea to help me with eliminate the next morning. I like going to bed by midnight. In the middle of the night, I often wake up and drink 3 cups of room temperature water. I also do metabolic exercise as well as run 10k and half marathons some Sundays . I ran half , full marathons and 10k's during my college and into my 40's... From 2020 to mid this year, I have participated and completed up to 4 or 5 Nike Run Club 100 and 120 miles challenge and finished them in 3 to 4 days. I meditate and do slight yoga and most of all live a very positive lifestyle. I am at a good size..I have a good muscle max, but my challenge is to stop eating after 8 pm.. Once again, thanks a million for the tips.
This was AMAZING!!!! I am trying to lose weight around my mid section as I am over 50. I am very much interested in your workout plans as I can do them in the gym. This was great information. Thanks so much!

I need to get my protein up. My biggest problem is eating the wrong thing and never getting full so I eat more. The water is something I can do, especially cold water.
Hi Dr. A. I love your videos. Can you do a video on things or tips (food) on gaining healthy weight (aside from strength training) for underweight people? Ty
Hey Marie, thanks for writing in and great suggestion! In the mean time, check out this video detailing how to put on muscle (or weight) the healthy way==> th-cam.com/video/TJvtaFTXE04/w-d-xo.html -The FMP Team
I call fidgeting, nervous energy... never thought about the calories they're burning while driving me insane. I love my stand-up desk, my job let me take mine home. Awesome video! Thanks 😊
Hey Lala, thanks for writing in and great question! The walk doesn't necessarily have to be long but probably somewhere in the 10-20min range works well. It's more of a leisurely stroll than an intense exercise session...just something to help aid in digestion and set the tone for the rest of the evening. Happy walking! -The FMP Team

Love this video! Thank you for great in-depth details on boosting metabolism. I am that person who drinks only room temperature water, but I will start drinking cold in morning. Also, I lose more weight in the winter too. I will incorporate some of your tips into my routine. Thanks.
Ok so I'm doing pretty much everything your saying except for the green tea or coffee I don't like how they taste. What else can I do. I try to do some nuts n water in the morning before my workout. But after 20 mins I can't even finish my video that's 30 min. Then I feel like a truck ran over me no energy. I've done a pre workout drink n sometimes I get a boost other times nothing?? What should I do. Thx
Such solid advice! I always start my day with a huge glass of cold water with some salt also I do a Bulletproof Coffee. As a 67 year old woman I have maintained my body weight.I also do MRT workouts at least 4 times a week! Going to check you guys out! Thank you! Lifestyle is key!
i think this might help too.Non-exercise activity thermogenesis Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is the energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise. It ranges from the energy expended walking to work, typing, performing yard work, undertaking agricultural tasks and fidgeting.
Such an amazing video loaded with many wonderful tips. Never have I thought to put my protein powder in my coffee. I am anxious to try this. I also enjoy going for a 15-20min walk after a meal. It just feels nice and relaxing. Thank you again for the informative video.
Sadly I think my maker forgot to add the brown fat to my body :)) Great advice again Dr A and it does help keep me on the straight and narrow (most days) .
Marvelous tips! Doing just a few of these modifications on a consistent basis is a great way to improve well-being. Many people get overwhelmed how to start making changes, many of your suggestions are things we do every day. We walk from the car to the office, why not add one extra lap around the building? Many folks drink coffee or tea on a daily basis. At work, I keep a pair of walking shoes under my desk so I can walk after I have my lunch. Thanks for another informative video. :)
If they hurt, don't do them. You can still get a decent butt and thigh workout with walking and doing steps/stairs. Do stretching exercises every day to make joints and muscles more flexible. And cut way back on refined carbs, high carb intake, and sugar. Those can contribute to joint inflammation.
Hey Sutandra, thanks for writing in! I'm sorry to hear about the painful squats but we have a great video detailing various knee-friendly leg movements that you can still try. Check that out here==>th-cam.com/video/WUDE3TjlpJw/w-d-xo.html -The FMP Team

From Saudi Arabia, I ask God to bless you for all the good you're doing to help educate people. THis is by far the best channel one could follow for the best advice.
Thank you for these videos I have learned so much! I would love to have some full exercise videos implementing the exercises you’ve taught us and adding more! I have been searching for something like this for years and can’t seem to find what I am looking for. Keep up the great work you are doing!
I really appreciate these types of knowledge based videos. I already follow some of the suggestions made but will add some more to my daily routine. Thank you.
That's great to hear @Pamela Sherring - All of our content is prepared with the hope of improving peoples health and daily lives. Happy to hear you are able to use this for your benefit. :)
Thank you for this very informative teaching. Do you plan to offer regular full workout videos/program. The fidgeting tip was something very new than you!

This is definitely something I need to fix soon!
You're very welcome 🙏
Try intermittent fasting.
I'm over 50 and not a mother and have never been a mother but I do find these videos helpful. Thank you
You're so welcome! I'm glad you found this so helpful :-)
Thanks for the great advice!! I am a 47 year old woman and I have been lifting weights daily for the last few weeks - deadlifts (300 per week is my goal, but I definitely do more), bicep curls with 20 lb dumbbells, shoulder and chest presses, push-ups for no reason, goblet squats, and sprints (was running up to 20 miles a week but not dropping any weight). I also go outside every 2 hours and walk in the grass with no shoes and to maybe do some push-ups or burpees in the grass. I am seeing small improvements so far (nicer arms, a plumper butt, thighs showing some definition).
Awesome my friend! Keep at it! You're very welcome 🙏
20lb means in kilograms ???dear?

How is it going now Danielle?
Thank you so much for a ton of information I can use and didn't know until today. You are a fresh of breath air as most knowledgeable people on this subject are only willing to SELL the information for a price. You are very much appreciated and respected.
I really appreciate you going through detailed explanation on this topic. I needed to hear this as I go into my 40’s. Well done!
Thank you my friend! I’m very glad this was helpful for you 🙏🏼
“Information without action does jack shit for your health” I love it! So glad I found y’all 🙌🏽
Thank you very much 😊
I've been walking after every meal for a long time, and I love it. It does really help ! Sometimes small thing help a lot.
Awesome my friend 🙌 Keep at it!
Sleep for a single parent is tough. Between school drop off and pick up, work mornings, after school activities, dinner homework, bath time, back to work until midnight or sometimes until 2am, sleep until 6:30. Any ideas for good sleep?

Contrary to your claim, I lost the most pounds by doing yoga and Pilates, and occasionally hiit. my body was now taut while my gym was limp and I wasn’t losing pounds. something else suits everyone. I am 46 years old and weigh the same amount. I am 165 tall and I am a former ballerina
I agree. HIIT is not for everyone. I lose more weight with lower intensity exercises and obviously a healthy diet.
I'm 41 and people get shocked when I tell them my age. It's all about moving the body and healthy diet routine. A lot of water, spices and good sleeping. 👌❤️🙏
💪
If you are older and a beginner don’t start off with high intensity training. Instead build up your heart and lungs gradually. Sooner or later you’ll be able to do high intensity workouts. I know someone who died of a heart attack because his mindset was he can still do what he did when maybe 15 years younger than he was. Truth is even if something seems simple and you’ve done it before that doesn’t mean your heart is still built to do it today. So gradually build your heart and lungs to be able to do high intensity workouts and even more so when you are in the higher age ranges. I’m sure you all will get there have a great day.
Thank you for your insight @ediberto colon.
I have listened to so many of these informed videos, but it just never gave me what info I needed to start - not that they were not good. But, this one was for me and I want to thank you for keeping it simple but informative. Obviously I have subscribed!

You're very welcome 🙏
How do I get one of your free programs. I’m 61 been fit for the last 11 years but sleep isn’t easy for me. Great tips. I’d like to try your MRT! Thank you
I am so glad I came across this video. I realize that losing weight has become harder as I have aged. Harder yes, but I have not given up. I will fix my sleep. Drink cold water, fidget by standing on my vibration plate with dumbells, and walk after dinner. Lastly, be consistent this 28 pounds must go. Thanks again. 🤸🏾🤸🏾🤸🏾

I love these type of videos!! Thank you! I am a 33 year old mother of three. Being 5 months postpartum, I’m ready to start exercising!! 🤗 I have always been health conscious when choosing the right foods to put into my body. However, without movement you rarely see a change in metabolism… thank you!
Awesome my friend! You're very welcome 🙏
Great advice. Agree with all of it, especially the protein consumption. The one thing you have to watch out for with high-intensity exercise is that it pauses fat cell regeneration and over time causes volume loss in the face.
👍
please explain what you mean
I'm glad I listened to your advice and tips since I've started to get fit and strong in my 60 it's definitely a challenge but I'm sticking to my exercise routine and I'm Starting to see great changes thank you for being here helping people to get strong and healthy.
You're very welcome Carol 🙏
This is fantastic - thank you
Amazing Thank you! Gonna start applying a couple of your tips and will increase them as I adjust my lifestyle. 55yrs and time for me to get back in shape!
You're very welcome! I’m very glad this was helpful for you 🙏🏼
Thank you for this. I appreciate your insights. I am not discounting your suggestion to drink cold water, as it may work for some people, but I found the opposite to work effectively for me. I tried drinking cold water in the morning or any other time within the day, and found it to be bloating.....I am in my mid 50's.... I have 3 adult children and two grandchildren but people mistake me to be in my late 30's or early 40's. Over a decade, I have been drinking 4 cups of very warm water every morning upon waking up and it helps me maintain a flat stomach. Then I drink 2 cups of ginger, mint Green tea with 1/4 spoon of cinnamon and fresh lemon before my work out, and I stay energized from morning till 8 pm. I eat my first meal at 12 pm which consists of mixed nuts, half air roasted plantains then I drink my black coffee... My problem is that I have formed the habit of eating my dinner very late like 10 pm. My dinner is usually 2 scrambled eggs with onions, unfortified nutritional yeast, carrots, sugar snap peas, cucumbers, avocado and a small chunk of wild caught Atlantic mackerel or salmon. 1 hr after meal, I drink 4 cups of hot tea made with green tea, mint, chamomile, and cascara sagrada tea to help me with eliminate the next morning. I like going to bed by midnight. In the middle of the night, I often wake up and drink 3 cups of room temperature water. I also do metabolic exercise as well as run 10k and half marathons some Sundays . I ran half , full marathons and 10k's during my college and into my 40's... From 2020 to mid this year, I have participated and completed up to 4 or 5 Nike Run Club 100 and 120 miles challenge and finished them in 3 to 4 days. I meditate and do slight yoga and most of all live a very positive lifestyle.
I am at a good size..I have a good muscle max, but my challenge is to stop eating after 8 pm.. Once again, thanks a million for the tips.
Awesome @Stella, keep it up, just try to eat a bit earlier and that would be get you a great all around routine 🙏
This was AMAZING!!!! I am trying to lose weight around my mid section as I am over 50. I am very much interested in your workout plans as I can do them in the gym. This was great information. Thanks so much!

Good morning 🌄🌄🌄🌄
How are your workouts progressing??
Is your husband working out with you?
Very scientifically explained and summed up. Thanks. Very useful.
You're very welcome 🙏
I need to get my protein up. My biggest problem is eating the wrong thing and never getting full so I eat more. The water is something I can do, especially cold water.
👍
Add some good fats with your protein - olive oil nuts avocado
Hi Dr. A. I love your videos. Can you do a video on things or tips (food) on gaining healthy weight (aside from strength training) for underweight people? Ty

You're very welcome 🙏
The walk after a big meal, how long should the walk be?
Hey Lala, thanks for writing in and great question! The walk doesn't necessarily have to be long but probably somewhere in the 10-20min range works well. It's more of a leisurely stroll than an intense exercise session...just something to help aid in digestion and set the tone for the rest of the evening. Happy walking!

TY for this comment! It legit makes me very happy that you found this so helpful.
Love this video! Thank you for great in-depth details on boosting metabolism. I am that person who drinks only room temperature water, but I will start drinking cold in morning. Also, I lose more weight in the winter too. I will incorporate some of your tips into my routine. Thanks.
You're very welcome 🙏
Excellent tips, I've decided to start a weight-loss program, and this information is extremely helpful. Thank you for teaching me so much.
Ok so I'm doing pretty much everything your saying except for the green tea or coffee I don't like how they taste. What else can I do. I try to do some nuts n water in the morning before my workout. But after 20 mins I can't even finish my video that's 30 min. Then I feel like a truck ran over me no energy. I've done a pre workout drink n sometimes I get a boost other times nothing?? What should I do. Thx
You're very welcome 🙏
Hi Brenda, please check out this supplement: store.fitmotherproject.com/products/burn-rx-brx?variant=37951126798516 it's a great energy booster 👍

I cant drink green tea or coffee causes vertigo issues as research say but cutting out sugar but i need to work on my sleep im a big tea drinker
🙏
Thank you so much for this all this great information ℹ️ . I learned something called Fidgeting. Never heard of it till now.
Stay blessed ❤️
Me too! Fidget more 🙂👍
🙌
You're very welcome 🙏
i think this might help too.Non-exercise activity thermogenesis
Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is the energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise. It ranges from the energy expended walking to work, typing, performing yard work, undertaking agricultural tasks and fidgeting.
👍
Such an amazing video loaded with many wonderful tips. Never have I thought to put my protein powder in my coffee. I am anxious to try this.
I also enjoy going for a 15-20min walk after a meal. It just feels nice and relaxing.
Thank you again for the informative video.
You're very welcome 🙏
Sadly I think my maker forgot to add the brown fat to my body :))
Great advice again Dr A and it does help keep me on the straight and narrow (most days) .
Thank you very much 🙏
Your maker forget nothing. You should be grateful for being here
Great tips Doctor. Tq so much. I'll try it soon
You're very welcome 🙏
always exciting to hear your advice. I certainly need to eat more protein and drink more water regularly!
Awesome my friend! Ty 😊
I’m doing pretty much of all f these things and seeing results. Thanks for the video.
Awesome my friend! You're very welcome 🙏 😊
Someone has been listening to the huberman lab lectures. Great summary! 😊
Thank you very much 🙏
I really need to listen to this advice...girl's been eating way too many cookies during covid
Thank you my friend! I’m very glad this was helpful for you 🙏🏼
Marvelous tips! Doing just a few of these modifications on a consistent basis is a great way to improve well-being. Many people get overwhelmed how to start making changes, many of your suggestions are things we do every day. We walk from the car to the office, why not add one extra lap around the building? Many folks drink coffee or tea on a daily basis. At work, I keep a pair of walking shoes under my desk so I can walk after I have my lunch. Thanks for another informative video. :)
Yo got this Elizabeth! You're very welcome 🙏
I love this! Thank you!
You're very welcome 🙏
I am 56 years old and need some advice to do squats. It is so painful. Can you give me some other options. Thanks in advance
If they hurt, don't do them. You can still get a decent butt and thigh workout with walking and doing steps/stairs. Do stretching exercises every day to make joints and muscles more flexible. And cut way back on refined carbs, high carb intake, and sugar. Those can contribute to joint inflammation.
💯 % 🙌
Hey Sutandra, thanks for writing in! I'm sorry to hear about the painful squats but we have a great video detailing various knee-friendly leg movements that you can still try. Check that out here==>th-cam.com/video/WUDE3TjlpJw/w-d-xo.html
