You saved my life!!! I get very emotional when I look at my past life. My mother raised us on cereal. I was 49 years old when I started following you. I was 298 lbs and 5ft 10" I know weigh 185 and feel great. No more stomach flu as my mother called them. No more tonsillitis all my life. Growing up we drank kool-aid all day. We where on penicillin shots twice a year. I eat grass fed meat, kefir, yogurt,eggs, vegetables shake every day with every veggies cramed full in blender, vitamin k2 d3, magnesium , drink water, black coffee, pecans ,walnuts , no sugar only monk fruit sweetner, jump rope, lift kettlebells. I am 54 and have erections when I sleep again. Please people make your children eat healthy. Thanks dr.berg love ya brother
I started about 6 months ago with the arm stretching exercises from a previous Dr. Berg video, & boy what a difference it made. I recently lost a lot of weight & I hated my flabby arms! My arms are looking normal again. Dr. Berg has been a go to source for me on how to eat & exercise. Thanks Dr. Berg.
Don’t ever feel like you’re being forced into working out. You won’t stick with it. Start slow. Even just walking a few minutes a day( if possible) moving in any manner is key. Your path will grow and so will your progress. Good luck in your journey.
@@wearethehaunted3831 Nobody ‘forces’ us. It’s a matter of choice : work your b… off to recover or…. The alternative is Not what you want. It takes a lot of hard work to get back to where you once were but it’s more than worth the while.
I retired from the military in 2019. I was 253lbs, 5’7, 48, post menopausal, rheumatoid arthritis, and PTSD. I was a runner until I got sick. When I retired I got peloton and started. About a year in I needed more so I bought some bands. The bands aggregated my wrists and was very painful so I switched to 3lb dumbbells and mimicked the same movements. Eventually the weights went to 5lbs, I watched a ton of weight lifting yet vids, and I started using my bow flex M5 incorporated a circuit training program. Did that for about a year. Then I moved to the gym. Next month I will have been going to the gym for 2 years. I ended losing a lot of body fat and be it took so long I don’t have a lot of extra skin which is nice. I was 135lbs last year. I felt weak though so I continued to increase weight and started building muscle. I put on some weight but happy to say it’s all muscle really. My pants still fit nicely however I can feel the glutes have grown as well as my shoulders, back, arms, I have a waist! lol. Weight training is it for me. No more fluctuating bodyweight, I’m 147lbs, my RA has calmed down a lot, and my PTSD is pretty manageable! Loving life….finally! ✌🏽❤️🇨🇦
@carolynkettle1690 ❤🎉 Thank you for your service, time, and other sacrifices you made for your country. I'm so glad you're doing better! Is there any advice you could give for my nephew who is living in his parents basement and has terrible PTSD? He won't go out except to walk his dog and is an ex Navy Seal marine. Any tip you could give would mean a lot. Thank you.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos. I respect this man immensely. 🙏🏻🙏🤷
He's a Doctor of Chiropractic, they are the BEST doctors there are! They look at the body differently to a doctor. My Chiro is the one I go to when things go wrong within, I NEVER go to ' drug pushing doctors'.
Matt schifferle has been slowly and methodically building his channel. He spends time answering viewer questions and appears to be a genuinely caring person. Really glad to see him getting some attention from a bigger channel. He’s also brilliant at what he does!
I ached so much most days. Joints muscles headaches from tension in my muscles. Once I learnt about Faccia and understood that being HYDRATED meant the faccia was not sticking, bunching or sticking together and most of the pain reduced or went away. Electrolytes to begin with helped me get back to a better level of hydration.
Hydrating had little effect for me. But I did use a blaster from Ashley Black. I took photos. It works! And it releases the bound fascia attached to the muscles. Wishing you the best!
I love that you said you don’t like structured workouts and get bored. I love to mix it up and have always felt that moving consistently in an enjoyable way will render greater long term results than forcing yourself to do workouts someone told you to do. I’ve kept weight off for 40 years this way and it just feels like “life”, not drudgery. Love your videos!!
I workout every morning with bands and weights. It’s so important to try and maintain your bone density as we age. I put on my favorite tunes and workout for 45 minutes. I do a three day split. Two body parts per workout. 3 days on and 1 rest day. There is absolutely no need to let yourself go. It’s a lot of work but I am worth every minute because I love me. You have to be your own advocate. ❤I have looked after my body all my life. I used to be a trainer.
Reshape/tone arms focus on isomerrics/tension on muscles, affecting fascia around muscles, stimulating the collagen layer: this is never discussed and Dr Berg always gets to the core of everything!
At 64, I absolutely love isometrics. In my 20’s, I was a gym rat/weight lifter. As I’ve become accepting of my introvertedness, my “home gym” is perfect!
I'm 54 and love my home gym as well, but still love the weights (dumbbells). Maybe I'll get bored or injured)at some point and get into isometrics, but it's only been a couple of years since I really got back into weight lifting again (also loved working out at the gym in my 20s/30s), so it's still enjoyable.
I am so grateful to Dr. Berg and all he shares. I recommend him to everybody. This video came at perfect time, 69 yr old woman, thin but need to build muscle as have done nothing since bad auto accident. My arms are flabby. I subscribed to Matt's isometrics channel, this is the best info in the world. I have all the bands and trx. Matt's channel is really great! I'm going to start doing these isometrics. Thank you Dr. Berg once again!
It’s worth mentioning that fasting (when you do eat enough protein before and after the fast) can be effective against removing excess skin and stretch marks. Especially when you’re putting on lean mass with these exercises.
I learn much from these videos. 1) He explains points logically and well; 2) he provides citations i can research for what he says. He doesn't make stuff up. He's not an MD. So what? He makes sense and has citations. He sells things. Ok. So do many others. He's learned from past mistakes.
What he excels at I think is being an educator. He tracks a lot of research I think and he synthesizes it accurately and rapidly. Good to see him doing well.
Dr. Berg: on the subject of fascia and how important it is, can you then weigh in on “fascia blasting”? Is it good or is it bad? I think many of us women especially would LOVE to hear your opinion and breakdown of this trend. Thank you!
Wow, it couldn't have come at a better time! I've been struggling to figure out how to restart my fitness journey after not exercising for a while, and this video was exactly what I needed. I had never heard of isometrics before, but they seem so doable. Also first time hearing about Matt Schifferle and his program for building muscle and strength through Isometrics training. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for sharing this! I was feeling lost about where to begin my exercise routine, but now I feel more motivated to start using your suggestion. This video truly gave me the guidance I needed!
I second this emotion! I've sedentary for a year. Illness, lost my car, therefore my job, live in cold weather. I stretched this morning for 8mins. Thought my body was going to rip apart. I will be trying this tomorrow! ❤
@MelissaDeleen Amen! I used to leg press 350lbs. Now I can't bend over to tie my shoe. Time to handle business as they say! 🥰 best wishes for you on your journey! 🙌
I was given great exercises after I broke my back using the long rubber bands where you tie a knot in the end and by just closing it into a door as it gives the resistance (a very inexpensive solution) Also, PaleoValley chocolate bone broth twice a day brought my bone density back to normal! I am over 60. I bought two rebounders (one for travel) and I rebound daily and LOVE Earth and Owl workouts online for beginners
We do these in our yoga fitness studio. Love the resistance bands! Change up your counts... up for 2 down for 2. Up for one down for 3. Singles. Hold up for 8 secs. Pulse for 8 secs.
My isometric exercise began in 1993 when our twins were born!! 😂 One 3 year old, infant twins, and a stay-at-home Mom who frequently walked through Walmart with both infant car seats, one on each arm. “The babies” weighed close to 20 lbs. each, and then add the weight of each infant car seat. My husband worked at a manufacturing plant, plus did all of the yard work at home, and kept up with the car and mower maintenance, etc. He could only carry one of the babies on one arm. Fast forward to today, we now have six grandbabies, ages 5 years to 9 months, and another coming this year. One of our grandsons, age 2 1/2, weighs a “solid” 45 pounds!! I’m able to squat, keeping my back straight, using my arms to pick him up, then using my legs to stand. My husband isn’t able to do that, and hasn’t picked him up since the “little” guy was 30 pounds. He can carry a heavy pack of roof shingles, or something similar, over one shoulder, but that’s it. He works hard, but doesn’t “work out”; the only time he “stretches out” is when he goes to bed at night!!🤣 I’ve learned since childhood to “listen to my body”. I was born with a defective heart valve, have had 4 heart valve surgeries since age 3, the last two being mechanical heart valves. Atrial fibrillation has been my constant companion since 2022, but I just keep living my life, listening to my body, and enjoying the grandbabies as often as I can!! I Thank the LORD many times every day!! He’s the Reason I’m still living and breathing at age 64!! 🙌🏻
So glad you mentioned fascia. As a myofascial therapist, I see first hand how much pain originates at the fascial level, and how much of it can be easily solved. Good thing that docs and physios disregard it, as my practise is at capacity!
I’ve gotten healthier with your advice. Started following in 2018. Went Keto and got off thyroid meds. Can’t list everything you’ve helped with, but your the first place I come when something’s wrong. Thanks!
@dvanhottie I'm on Armour 90 mcg, Cytomel 5 mcg. And I've been dealing with hair loss for yearrrrs. I guess I'm going to have to give keto a try. How strictly have you followed the diet?
Nice to see you formulated Tudca! Now for Benfotiamine and Melatonin! I can't find either without rice bran, rice grain, and other fillers that aren't chemical or high glycemic! And electrolyte's without iron too please, in all the flavors! :) I only trust your brand! I'm NOT the only one!
I started lifting weights in 1980. Not many women did. I remember at the time I met a women in a course I was attending. She had great muscular definition. I asked her how and she said she was a mime :) All the isometrics she did definitely worked. On another note: Dr. Berg as a thank you for all you do, I'll come organize that garage/basement for you :)
This is a great primer on achieving one of my goals for 2025...wear sleeveless tops and dresses without feeling self conscious about my arms. Thank you for yet another great video and everything you've done to help me improve my health and fitness!!!
Thanks for the presentation. The video was great for me, not for the reason you think. January 20 marks 35 years clean and sober. I exchanged drug use for health and fitness. 1992 I benched the landmark triple plates. 315 pounds. Rode mountain bikes Washington state going over the handle bars at least once per ride. Tri athalon on Phuket Island. ( swam in high school) 2006 began muay thai kickboxing training. I have not stopped- I'm addicted. 4 years ago got a muscle-up. The point is : I watch all these strength training videos and know I am miles ahead. Anyone who has done a 3 minute Round with an aggressive muay thai trainer will know what I'm getting at. ( outdoors 90 degrees) ** I am grateful I placed health and fitness First .. so many years ago. 66 years old and still killing it. Way better shape than when I quit drugs 35 years ago.
Just having broken my fibula (type C) and can't go for walks. So I bought a set of rubber exercise bands ($11 amazon). These allowing me to keep in something resembling condition plus working my busted foot. Not bad for an 80 year old. I am now (6 weeks on) walking nearly normally (not down stairs - up is fine though) just not long walks.
Can you PLEASE make a video of examples of vitamin routine. Your videos are helpful telling us what to take, but its the setting up the routine thats difficult. I'm reading up on what vitamins should be taken together and which shouldn't, but its so overwhelming to know what vitamins to take at what time. You don't owe us anything. I just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask for examples.
@@hmartin751 Your not supposed to take certain vitamins together because they'll cancel each other out and other vitamins need to be taken together to help absorb it. I've seen many vitamin companies pair vitamins that cancel each other out. You'd think they'd know or care, but they don't.
This Dr has saved countless lives ❤ rebuilt countless lives, helped countless lives. If you're here for the 1st time, go back and watch every video. You'll learn so much! Thank you Dr. Berg ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, I can testify to this. Been working with a personal trainer and my arms are looking really good, but particularly no more crepey skin on my arms (I'm 65). However, after almost 6 months, 3xs a week for an hour, I'm feeling the pain in my shoulders and have developed DeQuervain syndrome. Acupuncture and chiropractics are helping. At my age, I'm finding joint, tendon problems developing.
Try Alpha Lipoic Acid and L Carnosine. It works for neuropathy and helps muscles recover faster after a workout. Hope this helps you. Always start with the lowest doses.
Make sure the Alpha Lipoic Acid that you use has the letter R in front of it.. It should be R-Alpha Lipoic Acid. Just some information sharing that I found from the "Nerve Doctors" Channel if you want to understand why I'm suggesting it
Joint problems can be caused by inflammation. Some foods that can cause inflammation are meat and dairy, refined carbs, processed foods and white sugar.
Before I could afford small handheld weights I use to use gallon jugs of water to do the arm exercises. Those that couldn't lift something that gallon size container would use the half gallon size jug. Some of the older ones would fill up quart size plastic bottles and use that size. But then some had told me they started out with the individual bottle of water, then gradually worked up to the next size. Some commented that it felt like the days of cleaning windows and getting that burn. Am glad to get these exercises for someone of my age (72), as I try to keep myself moving as much as possible.
I remember there was a PBS channel where she would show lifting various household items and how they would help you in a workout ...wow ..don't tell anyone how old I am
@@margiemurray2147Hey! I remember that too! ❤ And how practical, right? Everybody had a can of soup or fruit at home, and those that needed something heavier than water in bottles could always use dirt, sand, or lead shot. The practical times!
Be careful with old bands. They deteriorate over time....ever try to use an old rubber band, and it snaps on you? I'm actually scared of those exercise bands. If it snaps back and smacks you in the face, it's gonna HURT. People have been injured by them. There are bands that have a fabric covering over them, so if the band snaps it's contained within the fabric wrap. 👍🏻
My comment appears cut off on my screen. If so, I was saying that there are bands that have a fabric covering, so if the band snaps, it's contained in the fabric wrap.
@@jaytee2642 thanks for that, you're right, we bought some fairly expensive bands, with attached web handles, some years ago. I moved on to dumbbells and barbells for a long time and when I tried one of the expensive bands, it broke apart. (No injuries, it snapped but didn't hit anyone) Fresh bands that aren't expensive are probably a smart choice.
Just ordered the TUDCA. I usually take milk thistle for the bloating on my right side... but i cant wait to try and see what a difference TUDCA makes. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
OMG this is such darn good info!!! Thank you so much !I've been working out since I was 14 and I'm 53 and I've never even heard this... wow wow wow can't thank you enough!
I've always been a walker but need more upper body strength and conditioning. Lost 50# year and s half ago through eliminating processed food and sugar. Have added in some sugar and gained a few pounds back. Am SO ready to shed another 50!!!
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called Health and Beauty Mastery by Julian Bannett. It has been censored.
Much LOVE and blessings to you Dr Berg- you are a WHOLE VIBE OF A DOCTOR! I am currently learning IF thanks to your videos. Your other videos are making me learn about my body so I don’t have to rely on pharmaceuticals. THANK YOU!!
I apply the isometric strategy discussed here along with the tension that Dr Berg speaks of - on my rebounder. Not mad jumping! Just gentle bounces with correct form & posture etc, and adding the isometric tension. Can do multiple muscles together too. Very efficient & time saving haha! Works a charm, & gets results fast.
Dr. Berg demonstrates arm exercises to tone flabby arms, focusing on isometric and eccentric movements. He covers various techniques using resistance bands, bodyweight, and equipment like TRX to strengthen primary and secondary arm muscles, as well as fascia.
I am worried about being “sore” as almost recovered from shoulder bursitis which was diagnosed 18 months ago. Had physio and acupuncture. 77 years old, active gardener and 65 kilos.
As a female, I do isometric movements slowly and only what I'm capable of doing.. then I increase any of the movements after I reach a level where I'm comfortable doing that movement with ease because unfortunately as women some of the first areas to start flabbing down is under the arms, well really our whole body ...hope this helps
Dr. Wallach - another great doctor you might check out - recommends copper supplements to tighten up the flabby skin (he calls it a free face lift) and it also clears blocked arteries and prevents strokes. He also said it returns hair color from grey. I was skeptical, so I put it to the test. The change is very gradual, it took a very long time (2 years!) but nearly all my grey hair is back to it's original color, except my beard. That hasn't changed much. I take 4 mg chelated copper daily. My wife only takes it once a week and her hair color is changing back as well.
Such a quality video Dr. Berg. Thank you very much. Commenters: Most questions about the video topic are answered in the video itself or the written show notes. Try reading those.
I've still got my gymnastic rings too! I mainly just do L-sits and static holds with them these days though... i do lots of squats, pushups (including holding halfway down and doing very slow repitions), situps... sometimes I'll do burpees but not all the time. and lots of yoga and stretching.
I do most of these in my daily workouts using free weights or body weight. I’d say after about 1.5 years of consistent work at it my triceps are nice and toned. So just be patient, be consistent and you will see results
Thanks, Dr., for all you are doing for us mortal wastrels! Iso has been around a long time, but I forgot all about it. Now that it's cold out, this can be done inside quite easily! Happy New Year, and God bless!
It is interesting to hear about how these isometric exercises will work the primary movers, secondary movers, supporting muscles and the fascia leading to collagen synthesis. This would probably be a great warmup as well for my heavy lifting. Thank you Dr. Berg! You've helped me so much over the years!
Dr. Berg, my husband and I really like your videos and take seriously what you have to say. Having said that, with 13 million subscribers, why do you still have ads? Ads are so disruptive.
This topic is truly essential in modern life. Maintaining long-term vitality and energy not only improves health but also enhances quality of life. Thank you for this insightful video !
Great video. I have gotten much stronger doing isometric exercises. They’re excellent for people with joint hypermobility where loading the joints with weight and impact may have added risks
💪 This is a must-watch for anyone looking to lose arm fat fast! The tips here look super effective and easy to follow. Who’s ready to start this journey? Stronger, toned arms are within reach! 🔥🙌✨
Great exercise tips! Thanks Doc! Look up images for fascia. It’s freaky - a full body is covered from head to toe with fascia and looks like a rubber suit. Cellulite is a fascia disorder. It has nothing to do with what you eat and how hard you work out (may look better) . If you have bad cellulite look up Ashley Black who has a dearth of info and studies plus tools to help. I’ve tried them and they do work.
I need to see these exercises I have been looking for your videos on this particular one especially for the one for my arms but I’m going to do them all; perfect I needed it I love it Dr. Edy Berg you are the grates Thank You I love allll your advices your videos your teachings Your. Knowledge specially your interest in helping people you are really Blessed because I see you really care.❤Very very helpful God bless you ❤ Also your wife she is ok very nice and beautiful 😍
Dr Berg, I've been sharing your videos on facebook. Good thing you have facebook page already. I used to share your YT videos on facebook 😁 Some of my friends started fasting also because they see the good result in my body and health
You saved my life!!! I get very emotional when I look at my past life. My mother raised us on cereal. I was 49 years old when I started following you. I was 298 lbs and 5ft 10"
I know weigh 185 and feel great. No more stomach flu as my mother called them. No more tonsillitis all my life. Growing up we drank kool-aid all day. We where on penicillin shots twice a year. I eat grass fed meat, kefir, yogurt,eggs, vegetables shake every day with every veggies cramed full in blender, vitamin k2 d3, magnesium , drink water, black coffee, pecans ,walnuts , no sugar only monk fruit sweetner, jump rope, lift kettlebells. I am 54 and have erections when I sleep again.

Those are great, but when I'm in pain of course exercising but taking omega 3, tumeric, and collagen powder really helps me out.
As dr berg is growing in his learning of health and healing , we can grow along with him

What he excels at I think is being an educator. He tracks a lot of research I think and he synthesizes it accurately and rapidly. Good to see him doing well.
Dr. Berg: on the subject of fascia and how important it is, can you then weigh in on “fascia blasting”? Is it good or is it bad? I think many of us women especially would LOVE to hear your opinion and breakdown of this trend. Thank you!
I was coming here to ask about this!
It is very bad for a lot of women. Research and join the group of women with hideous injuries from this
Wow, it couldn't have come at a better time! I've been struggling to figure out how to restart my fitness journey after not exercising for a while, and this video was exactly what I needed. I had never heard of isometrics before, but they seem so doable. Also first time hearing about Matt Schifferle and his program for building muscle and strength through Isometrics training. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for sharing this! I was feeling lost about where to begin my exercise routine, but now I feel more motivated to start using your suggestion. This video truly gave me the guidance I needed!
Another great video DR.BERG THANK YOU Matt too.
I second this emotion! I've sedentary for a year. Illness, lost my car, therefore my job, live in cold weather. I stretched this morning for 8mins. Thought my body was going to rip apart. I will be trying this tomorrow! ❤
@Tiredofitall14 I'm happy to hear that you're going for a change. I think we all need to take care of our bodies to feel better.
@MelissaDeleen Amen! I used to leg press 350lbs. Now I can't bend over to tie my shoe. Time to handle business as they say! 🥰 best wishes for you on your journey! 🙌
@Tiredofitall14 Thank you
The use of the fascia in strengthening is so interesting! I had no idea how much it affects arm shape. Definitely adding this to my routine.
Awesome. Let me know next time if it works for you.
I was given great exercises after I broke my back using the long rubber bands where you tie a knot in the end and by just closing it into a door as it gives the resistance (a very inexpensive solution) Also, PaleoValley chocolate bone broth twice a day brought my bone density back to normal! I am over 60. I bought two rebounders (one for travel) and I rebound daily and LOVE Earth and Owl workouts online for beginners
Would love to hear Dr Berg's thoughts and opinions on CBD Oils
We do these in our yoga fitness studio. Love the resistance bands!
Change up your counts... up for 2 down for 2. Up for one down for 3. Singles. Hold up for 8 secs. Pulse for 8 secs.
Hello. This is honestly one of your best videos can you please do more of these on different parts of the body❤
My isometric exercise began in 1993 when our twins were born!! 😂 One 3 year old, infant twins, and a stay-at-home Mom who frequently walked through Walmart with both infant car seats, one on each arm. “The babies” weighed close to 20 lbs. each, and then add the weight of each infant car seat. My husband worked at a manufacturing plant, plus did all of the yard work at home, and kept up with the car and mower maintenance, etc. He could only carry one of the babies on one arm.
Fast forward to today, we now have six grandbabies, ages 5 years to 9 months, and another coming this year. One of our grandsons, age 2 1/2, weighs a “solid” 45 pounds!! I’m able to squat, keeping my back straight, using my arms to pick him up, then using my legs to stand. My husband isn’t able to do that, and hasn’t picked him up since the “little” guy was 30 pounds. He can carry a heavy pack of roof shingles, or something similar, over one shoulder, but that’s it. He works hard, but doesn’t “work out”; the only time he “stretches out” is when he goes to bed at night!!🤣
I’ve learned since childhood to “listen to my body”. I was born with a defective heart valve, have had 4 heart valve surgeries since age 3, the last two being mechanical heart valves. Atrial fibrillation has been my constant companion since 2022, but I just keep living my life, listening to my body, and enjoying the grandbabies as often as I can!! I Thank the LORD many times every day!! He’s the Reason I’m still living and breathing at age 64!! 🙌🏻
Amen to that! ☝️💟🛐✝️

Too bad you didn't educate yourself or your children before procreating or you would know why women are able to carry items men cannot and vice versa!
Excellent and so true!
Every single day I recommend Dr. Berg
One video in the morning and one in the evening
@@amelieouedraogo8487 😄
A Dr. BERG VIDEO A DAY WILL KEEP AWAY...
BIG FOOD AND
BIG PHARMA. 🍎😊
So glad you mentioned fascia. As a myofascial therapist, I see first hand how much pain originates at the fascial level, and how much of it can be easily solved. Good thing that docs and physios disregard it, as my practise is at capacity!
Bowen therapy works with fascia all over. Great!
That last sentence is so negative. A therapist huh???
@@pbrown7142 Dark humour isn't your thing I take it?
I’ve gotten healthier with your advice. Started following in 2018. Went Keto and got off thyroid meds. Can’t list everything you’ve helped with, but your the first place I come when something’s wrong. Thanks!
What thyroid meds were you taking and how much?
@ levothyroxine 100 and Cytomel 5 I think. Arthritis went away and hair thickened up. Food really is medicine.
How long was you on levothyroxine for? @@dvanhottie
Holy mackerel, you actually got off of thyroid meds? I thought once on, you never get off! How intriguing. Ok then keto it is. Thanks.
@dvanhottie I'm on Armour 90 mcg, Cytomel 5 mcg. And I've been dealing with hair loss for yearrrrs. I guess I'm going to have to give keto a try. How strictly have you followed the diet?
My previous primary doctor told me to watch your videos and I am so glad she did!!
Nice to see you formulated Tudca! Now for Benfotiamine and Melatonin! I can't find either without rice bran, rice grain, and other fillers that aren't chemical or high glycemic! And electrolyte's without iron too please, in all the flavors! :) I only trust your brand! I'm NOT the only one!
Happy new years guys. God bless all of you
Thank you, you too.
And then you fall and break your arm at the shoulder joint during Covid and both arms are now weakened. I’m so excited for this!
I broke my left wrist (both bones fractured and one bone 1cm shorter than it used to be) in July. I too am loving these workouts he is showing us!!
I’m always impressed with Dr. Berg. Thank you sir…
Also really enjoy these candid shots with Dr. Berg into what it takes to be healthy!
I started lifting weights in 1980. Not many women did. I remember at the time I met a women in a course I was attending. She had great muscular definition. I asked her how and she said she was a mime :) All the isometrics she did definitely worked. On another note: Dr. Berg as a thank you for all you do, I'll come organize that garage/basement for you :)
This is a great primer on achieving one of my goals for 2025...wear sleeveless tops and dresses without feeling self conscious about my arms. Thank you for yet another great video and everything you've done to help me improve my health and fitness!!!
I’m with you on that one lol I’m on it flabby arms be gone hahaha
Thanks for the presentation. The video was great for me, not for the reason you think. January 20 marks 35 years clean and sober. I exchanged drug use for health and fitness. 1992 I benched the landmark triple plates. 315 pounds. Rode mountain bikes Washington state going over the handle bars at least once per ride. Tri athalon on Phuket Island. ( swam in high school) 2006 began muay thai kickboxing training. I have not stopped- I'm addicted. 4 years ago got a muscle-up. The point is : I watch all these strength training videos and know I am miles ahead. Anyone who has done a 3 minute Round with an aggressive muay thai trainer will know what I'm getting at. ( outdoors 90 degrees) ** I am grateful I placed health and fitness First .. so many years ago. 66 years old and still killing it. Way better shape than when I quit drugs 35 years ago.
Just having broken my fibula (type C) and can't go for walks. So I bought a set of rubber exercise bands ($11 amazon). These allowing me to keep in something resembling condition plus working my busted foot. Not bad for an 80 year old. I am now (6 weeks on) walking nearly normally (not down stairs - up is fine though) just not long walks.
James, I had a lot of shin pain and I found that using tight stretchy leg sleeves helped a lot with the pain. I forgot what they’re called.
Keep moving , God bless❤
i conducted an orchestra for ten years and my arms became amazingly toned!
Can you PLEASE make a video of examples of vitamin routine. Your videos are helpful telling us what to take, but its the setting up the routine thats difficult. I'm reading up on what vitamins should be taken together and which shouldn't, but its so overwhelming to know what vitamins to take at what time. You don't owe us anything. I just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask for examples.
I know he’s done this before but a refresher would be nice. Especially as he learns new things. 👍
It says on the bottle either take with food or dont.u can take vitamins am.or pm it don't matter just take them lol
@@hmartin751 Your not supposed to take certain vitamins together because they'll cancel each other out and other vitamins need to be taken together to help absorb it. I've seen many vitamin companies pair vitamins that cancel each other out. You'd think they'd know or care, but they don't.
This Dr has saved countless lives ❤ rebuilt countless lives, helped countless lives.
If you're here for the 1st time, go back and watch every video. You'll learn so much!
Thank you Dr. Berg ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much for your kind message. Appreciate it.
Yes, I can testify to this. Been working with a personal trainer and my arms are looking really good, but particularly no more crepey skin on my arms (I'm 65). However, after almost 6 months, 3xs a week for an hour, I'm feeling the pain in my shoulders and have developed DeQuervain syndrome. Acupuncture and chiropractics are helping. At my age, I'm finding joint, tendon problems developing.
Try Alpha Lipoic Acid and L Carnosine. It works for neuropathy and helps muscles recover faster after a workout. Hope this helps you. Always start with the lowest doses.
You can also try castor oil. I pray for your physical body to be at ease 🙏🏼 😊❤
Make sure the Alpha Lipoic Acid that you use has the letter R in front of it.. It should be R-Alpha Lipoic Acid. Just some information sharing that I found from the "Nerve Doctors" Channel if you want to understand why I'm suggesting it
Joint problems can be caused by inflammation. Some foods that can cause inflammation are meat and dairy, refined carbs, processed foods and white sugar.
@@vegskater1741 Don't forget age 😁 I have good muscle memory, but it's fading LOL.
Before I could afford small handheld weights I use to use gallon jugs of water to do the arm exercises. Those that couldn't lift something that gallon size container would use the half gallon size jug. Some of the older ones would fill up quart size plastic bottles and use that size. But then some had told me they started out with the individual bottle of water, then gradually worked up to the next size. Some commented that it felt like the days of cleaning windows and getting that burn.
Am glad to get these exercises for someone of my age (72), as I try to keep myself moving as much as possible.
I remember there was a PBS channel where she would show lifting various household items and how they would help you in a workout ...wow ..don't tell anyone how old I am
@@margiemurray2147Hey! I remember that too! ❤ And how practical, right? Everybody had a can of soup or fruit at home, and those that needed something heavier than water in bottles could always use dirt, sand, or lead shot. The practical times!
Thank you. I have a band collecting dust. I'm getting it out today.
Be careful with old bands.
They deteriorate over time....ever try to use an old rubber band, and it snaps on you?
I'm actually scared of those exercise bands. If it snaps back and smacks you in the face, it's gonna HURT. People have been injured by them.
There are bands that have a fabric covering over them, so if the band snaps it's contained within the fabric wrap. 👍🏻
My comment appears cut off on my screen.
If so, I was saying that there are bands that have a fabric covering, so if the band snaps, it's contained in the fabric wrap.
@@jaytee2642 thanks for that, you're right, we bought some fairly expensive bands, with attached web handles, some years ago. I moved on to dumbbells and barbells for a long time and when I tried one of the expensive bands, it broke apart. (No injuries, it snapped but didn't hit anyone) Fresh bands that aren't expensive are probably a smart choice.
Just ordered the TUDCA. I usually take milk thistle for the bloating on my right side... but i cant wait to try and see what a difference TUDCA makes. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
The good doc is even giving us exercises to do 👏🏾👏🏾🥰❤️❤️
I love you Dr. Berg.
Thank you! I had been looking for exercises that targeted my arms 🎯
OMG this is such darn good info!!! Thank you so much !I've been working out since I was 14 and I'm 53 and I've never even heard this... wow wow wow can't thank you enough!
Sure. Glad to share this info. Thanks for watching.
Love Dr. Berg , thank you so much. Healing from an accident. Hopefully this will help.
Sorry to hear that. Wishing you good health.
I've always been a walker but need more upper body strength and conditioning. Lost 50# year and s half ago through eliminating processed food and sugar. Have added in some sugar and gained a few pounds back. Am SO ready to shed another 50!!!
As a classical Pilates instructor working with same principles with arm springs is really beneficial
As dr berg grows in his journey of health and healing truth , we are able to grow along with him
Thanks Dr. Berg, I really appreciate the way you explain things. Not complicated.🥇
You are most welcome. Glad it helps!
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called Health and Beauty Mastery by Julian Bannett. It has been censored.
Why?
Lol. The banned claim is literally the marketing scheme. Creating false demand?
I watch your videos every day! I have worked in natural health care for the past 3 decades and I value your information and contributions!
😮👍
Much LOVE and blessings to you Dr Berg- you are a WHOLE VIBE OF A DOCTOR! I am currently learning IF thanks to your videos. Your other videos are making me learn about my body so I don’t have to rely on pharmaceuticals. THANK YOU!!
You're welcome. Start gradually on your fast. Plus do keto at the same time.
I apply the isometric strategy discussed here along with the tension that Dr Berg speaks of - on my rebounder. Not mad jumping! Just gentle bounces with correct form & posture etc, and adding the isometric tension. Can do multiple muscles together too. Very efficient & time saving haha! Works a charm, & gets results fast.
I have resistant bands, you have made me think of looking where I stored since Covid so I can start using them again 😅 thank you 🙏
I did the first exercise as instructed and I feel it already! Thank you.
Dr. Berg demonstrates arm exercises to tone flabby arms, focusing on isometric and eccentric movements. He covers various techniques using resistance bands, bodyweight, and equipment like TRX to strengthen primary and secondary arm muscles, as well as fascia.
I am worried about being “sore” as almost recovered from shoulder bursitis which was diagnosed 18 months ago. Had physio and acupuncture. 77 years old, active gardener and 65 kilos.
Does this help women over 50 as it’s harder to tone these places than men would like to see a women before and after and time it took thanks dr berg 😊
As a female, I do isometric movements slowly and only what I'm capable of doing.. then I increase any of the movements after I reach a level where I'm comfortable doing that movement with ease because unfortunately as women some of the first areas to start flabbing down is under the arms, well really our whole body ...hope this helps
Dr. Wallach - another great doctor you might check out - recommends copper supplements to tighten up the flabby skin (he calls it a free face lift) and it also clears blocked arteries and prevents strokes. He also said it returns hair color from grey. I was skeptical, so I put it to the test. The change is very gradual, it took a very long time (2 years!) but nearly all my grey hair is back to it's original color, except my beard. That hasn't changed much. I take 4 mg chelated copper daily. My wife only takes it once a week and her hair color is changing back as well.
Such a quality video Dr. Berg. Thank you very much. Commenters: Most questions about the video topic are answered in the video itself or the written show notes. Try reading those.
Wonderful technique. Thanks alot dr Berg ❤
I've still got my gymnastic rings too! I mainly just do L-sits and static holds with them these days though... i do lots of squats, pushups (including holding halfway down and doing very slow repitions), situps... sometimes I'll do burpees but not all the time. and lots of yoga and stretching.
😂 ha ha ha things come full circle. I used to do isometrics in the 60s and 70s now here we are again great video Dr. Berg.
Thinking the same 😂
We do the plank push-up with weights on aerobics step. I pit a towel on step to keep the weights stable. We do all these exercises in our class 😊
Yes! More of these videos Dr Berg.
Sure. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for all your Information much appreciated regards from South Africa
Thank you Dr.BERG
I do most of these in my daily workouts using free weights or body weight. I’d say after about 1.5 years of consistent work at it my triceps are nice and toned. So just be patient, be consistent and you will see results
Definitely needed this !!!
Thank you Dr. Berg. You videos inspire me.🙏🏻👍
Thanks, Dr., for all you are doing for us mortal wastrels! Iso has been around a long time, but I forgot all about it. Now that it's cold out, this can be done inside quite easily! Happy New Year, and God bless!
It is interesting to hear about how these isometric exercises will work the primary movers, secondary movers, supporting muscles and the fascia leading to collagen synthesis. This would probably be a great warmup as well for my heavy lifting. Thank you Dr. Berg! You've helped me so much over the years!
You're welcome. Hope this will help you on your health journey.
Dr. Berg, my husband and I really like your videos and take seriously what you have to say. Having said that, with 13 million subscribers, why do you still have ads? Ads are so disruptive.
Needed this! Thank you!
Dr Berg, is my new doc! 🙂
This topic is truly essential in modern life. Maintaining long-term vitality and energy not only improves health but also enhances quality of life. Thank you for this insightful video !
It's nothing. Hope this will help you.
Mike Mentzer A former professional body builder has these in his 13 minute workout and using negative resistance ❤
Great video. I have gotten much stronger doing isometric exercises. They’re excellent for people with joint hypermobility where loading the joints with weight and impact may have added risks
💪 This is a must-watch for anyone looking to lose arm fat fast! The tips here look super effective and easy to follow. Who’s ready to start this journey? Stronger, toned arms are within reach! 🔥🙌✨
Great exercise tips! Thanks Doc! Look up images for fascia. It’s freaky - a full body is covered from head to toe with fascia and looks like a rubber suit. Cellulite is a fascia disorder. It has nothing to do with what you eat and how hard you work out (may look better) . If you have bad cellulite look up Ashley Black who has a dearth of info and studies plus tools to help. I’ve tried them and they do work.
WOW. I will share your video to my aunt
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
Most welcome!
Thank you Dr Berg 😊❤
Always look forward to information that Dr. Berg provides. Always incredibly helpful, most especially as I get older.
Happy that you found it useful!
Is there a difference in isometric bands and resistance bands?
This is amazing !!!
Glad to know that you liked this post!
It's great when you show yourself doing some of these exercises too! 👍💪❤
