Never, Ever Give Up. Arthur's Inspirational Transformation!

    Arthur Boorman was a disabled veteran of the Gulf War for 15 years, and was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own, ever again.
    He stumbled upon an article about Diamond Dallas Page doing Yoga and decided to give it a try -- he couldn't do traditional, higher impact exercise, so he tried DDP YOGA and sent an email to Dallas telling him his story.
    Dallas was so moved by his story, he began emailing and speaking on the phone with Arthur throughout his journey - he encouraged Arthur to keep going and to believe that anything was possible. Even though doctors told him walking would never happen, Arthur was persistent. He fell many times, but kept going.
    Arthur was getting stronger rapidly, and he was losing weight at an incredible rate! Because of DDP's specialized workout, he gained tremendous balance and flexibility -- which gave him hope that maybe someday, he'd be able to walk again.
    His story is proof, that we cannot place limits on what we are capable of doing, because we often do not know our own potential. Niether Arthur, nor Dallas knew what he would go on to accomplish, but this video speaks for itself. In less than a year, Arthur completely transformed his life. If only he had known what he was capable of, 15 years earlier.
    Do not waste any time thinking you are stuck - you can take control over your life, and change it faster than you might think.
    Hopefully this story can inspire you to follow your dreams - whatever they may be.
    Anything is Possible!

      But if you have difficulty at the start it means you will allways be behind and you might as well give up at that point never ever forget that

      garip bir kanal You've seen the video, right? Guy can even run now and might have more control over his movement than many people his age, yet if he'd given up he would still be in a wheelchair. Life is not fair, we all have a different starting position in it, some are born into wealthy families and get everything since birth, some don't even have health, and many encounter severe hurdles during their lives, the kind of moments when you feel like your life is over and you're ready to give up. But the thing is that if you do give up then yeah, it will never be better, but if you don't... then you might fail anyway, but then you need to get up again, and again, until you've overcome the problem. In the end you will not only gain better life, but also lots of inner strength and unique outlook on life. And the moment the other people who have never seriously struggled in their life face their first real obstacle, that moment you'll be ahead of them because while they'll have no idea how to deal with it you'll still have the mentality of a fighter 👌 Never give up people, never ❤️

      @@oatstealer5075 you will always be behind if you dont move or do anything to get out of the situation. Struggles and difficulties are always part of improvement, its not a one shot thing and boom everything you want in life is right in front of you. This is not a competition against other person, you aim to improve yourself day by day. If there's any competition its against yourself. Aim to be better than what you are yesterday.

    This video changed my life. I was a lifetime alcoholic, in terrible shape. I finally managed to get sober but still wasn't really enjoying life. Then I found this, and it gave me just enough hope that I started doing DDP Yoga, that led to me starting to enjoy moving my body. I started walking, and ended up moving to Yoga With Adriene just for the calmer vibes, but 5 years later I still regularly do yoga. I'll always be thankful to DDP and Arthur for showing me what's possible.

    Coming back to this video, probably 10 years after I first watched it. I'm in a different place now than where I was a decade ago and I really needed to see this. While outwardly people see that I've gained 50lbs in a year, what they don't see is the mental place I've been in that caused that, and how much harder it is to do the simplest tasks when being this much heavier. 11 days ago I began walking daily again on a treadmill followed by either an upper or lower body strength & flexibility workout depending on the day. My goal is to regain the mobility, strength & balance that I've lost. I can't wait to be the person I once was. Watching this video again has reminded me that my goals are entirely possible. Thank you for keeping this video up.

    I thanked God when I first watched this video, in 2021. I was doing really badly due to COVID-19. That special day and time, I was feeling extremely bad. I couldn't breath and my nails were starting to become purple in color for the lack of oxygen. At that very moment, in my desperation, I received this video via WhatsApp, from a friend. It was magic to me. Something happened emotionally, that I new I will make it. And I did. Now, two years later I happened to see this video here, and it is my time to say: Thank you so much for helping me breath again, for giving me the strength I needed to overcome that difficult situation in my life.

      @@beekarinsaan I've had a couple of times where I went in, they told me I had X problem saying I need prescription meds, later looking up alternatives online I find out there are other options instead of taking medication A, B, or C.
      My last doctors visit about 2 months ago. Did labs, they tell me I'm prediabetic now and my T is a little low, wanted to put me on Testosterone shots (I'm in my mid/late 30's and a recovering 15 year heroin addict so my body's kind of out of wack), asked him if there was any other way as I've heard there are side effects that, although not WILL but MAY happen, still I'd rather not take the chances as they include man-tits, acne, bad breath...
      A few days later as I'm looking up alternatives online and I find out about Intermittent Fasting. The basic idea is that you can eat (a balanced meal, you don't have to starve yourself) for X hours of the 24 hour day and the other Y hours you fast, and sleeping _includes_ your fasting hours.
      There's a 12:12 fast which means you eat normally 12 hours of the day and the other 12 is just water and sleep. Then there's a 10:14 where you eat within 10 hours of the day and fast the other 14. And then there's 8:16, again, eat within 8 h of the day and fast 16 (the one I'm working up to...
      The thing is that the longer your fast is the greater health benefits you can gain.
      I'm just getting into it but the idea is that when you DON'T eat your body goes into a super repair mode where (while on a balanced meal plan and exercises) when you workout while IF your body shifts into a metabolism and hormonal change where your efforts and multiplied than when you normally workout.
      There are other IF methods but the ones I mentioned seem the most attainable and easiest to follow through with.
      Not to mention it's supposed to raise T levels for men whether or not you suffer from low T, your sleep is supposed to improve, your brain also benefits with your mood elevating. And while you have to have a balanced diet you don't have to be on a super strict diet, it helps for those that want to get "ripped" but it's accommodating enough that you can slowly change with ease.
      The best part is that I'm not putting meds into my system worrying about side effects.
      After 2 months working out 4-7 days of the week I lost about 5-7 lbs (from 200lbs) but I've lost a lot of mass, besides the fact that I can see the gains this means I'm trading fat for muscle. It's great.

In the past 3 years he spends every day in the bed and started to get bed sores. Last year right after Thanksgiving he was sick again and went to the hospital where they sent him to a skilled nursing center for therapy. He was dong really well he begin to be able to take a few steps but then 2 days later due to insurance coverage he was sent home and it he was really bummed about it. He got sick again and was able to get into another therapy place where once again he able to sit and stand and walk a little bit but due to insurance coverage once again he coming home not fully covered. It sad when someone willing to do the work and cant because they don't have the income. I hope one day he can have a story like the man above.

    I remember watching this video, partially paralyzed from brain lesions and autoimmune disease. Wondering if I’d live long enough for my 2 year old Son to remember me before I died. I would’ve given anything for a guarantee to have made it to his 18th birthday.
    I watch this today with no active disease in my body and I expect to live a very long life. Maybe to 100...

    I was in his Army unit at Ft. Bragg but way later during OIF. So proud of you Arthur, you’re an inspiration to all us vets. Man those small parachutes drop you like a sack of potatoes. My knees and back are shot but I’m not overweight. I’m just out of shape if that makes sense. When you get hurt it makes you lose motivation to get back to where you once were, I’m sure many can relate. I live in Atlanta after moving from Cleveland. I hope I can meet DDP one day and talk to him. Maybe help out one more paratrooper. I just want to feel healthy again.I bought DDP yoga yrs ago but let me friend borrow it and he never gave it back. Yet hopefully via the app I can stream it to my Tv. Hope I can meet you one day DDP, I live in Conyers, GA. You’re such a great guy and I use to watch you all the time as a teenager. Bang! ✋🤚 💥

      It's the modern version of something very popular in the 80s I guess, called McDojo. Place opened by some idiot who thinks they know martial arts to get money from unsuspecting students.
