Almost 40. How I Stay Fit & Youthful. Here Is My Secret.

[Music] something [Applause] let's see and hi today wasn't a good day for me I cried myself to sleep last night and I woke up so tired and exhausted and my eyes were so swollen whatever I do I just felt ugly you know it felt like today was just a reminder that life is isn't easy why is it so hard all I want is to be happy anyways I started my day by putting some makeup on to lift my mood it helped it does always does but I cried again but I managed to fix my makeup

and went to the rink for a little bit of skating so I feel better now I feel it's crazy how moving your body can help honestly Fitness has been my lifeline through all of this I mean it doesn't solve anything but when when I'm skating running walking dancing it feels like I'm giving my mind a break from all this chaos you know it's like a good distraction I don't know somehow when I push my body it helps me push through mental stuff too so for me Fitness is not about looking perfect you know having those

sixpacks and bubble but I don't have those or hitting some crazy goals I mean it can be nice it's about feeling like I have some control over how I feel even when everything feels like it's falling apart moving sweating or just showing up for myself gives me a sense of Peace it's like yeah I'm struggling but I'm still here and I'm still trying it makes me feel better I'm going to name this video as how I stay fit and Youthful well as you guys already can tell this video is not about achieving perfect body or

me undergoing a dramatic body transformation it's more about a simple mindset shift regarding my fitness goals and how I man to stay kind of fit and happy as I approach the big 40 sometimes o takes as a slight change in perspective to make a big difference in life so I hope this video Sparks a similar shift for you so here we [Music] go this is the moment we waited for everything you want is right here we going to give them what it came for we going to take it up from last year shoot my shot

I'm long range back in January 2022 I was in a pretty emotionally unstable place I knew I needed help so I started therapy to work on my mental health and began training with the person trainer to combat my depression my goal wasn't about looking a certain way it was more about establishing a new routine for the first time I approached Fitness with a focus on my well-being rather than my appearance honestly those first training sessions were intimidating I dreaded going but but I did it with my friends so it was a little bit easier I'm

not going to lie every single workout session left me exhausted with my whole body feeling feeling sore I was pretty miserable at first but after a couple of weeks something magical happened I started to feel stronger and more energized and I really learned to tune into my body it was like unlocking a new level in a video game where I discovered my limits and areas I could improve I feel like say what I feel like theall so if you're feeling down or need a change find an activity that get your ass moving if you're not

Super Active something simple as gentle walk or dancing around your living room can work wonders for your mood trust me on this say hi also don't underestimate the power of talking to someone or journaling to clear your mind you can try out therapy like I did and you can start with therapy with today's sponsor better help so I'm currently using better help and I've been using it for a while the main use of better he for me is to have someone to talk to someone who can listen to my rambling like a best friend and

want to do that and I want to share my journey I get it we all want that perfect body at least once in life right I used to dream about being stick skinny like one of those K-pop Idols but I think I've reached the age where I realize I need to prioritize my body's well-being over its [Music] appearance if you want to join the train follow my Instagram first YouTube is coming up Instagram is workout with KB I'm going to put it there don't worry I got you she going to put it somewhere oh yes

exactly what but I still do want to look fit in my own frame and here's what I do number one I don't beat myself for gaining weight or not looking like a magazine cover what really matters is in some elusive ideal Fitness routine or a magical fat burning secret it's about building a healthier relationship with my body and understanding that fluctuation are perfectly normal our bodies are Dynamic it's constantly changing so instead of dwelling on failure I focus on positives I try to celebrate every small victory whether it's just hitting the gym just showing up

or simply choosing a healthy meal for the day remember your fitness journey should be enjoyable not a punishment because it's a lifelong journey [Music] [Music] number two build a fitness routine that's sustainable and fun it's very important okay it has to be fun I keep things fresh by trying new activities some days I lift weights while other days I go for a [Music] walk or learn some t talk dance I just try different things variety keeps me motivated and makes my workout feel less like a [Music] tore what's the point of having a perfect workout

routine if it trange every time start with something simple and have some fun with it I got that flow I got that swag I got that that your mama wish she had I take it slow but somehow you still last so if you want that lowow blow blow [Music] [Applause] number three let's talk about adding to our routines instead of eliminating things 100 lb Club when we're trying to eat healthy we usually think of cutting out carbs sugar and greasy food all together I personally believe controlling portion is just fine because eliminating certain foods can

really mess with our relationship with food the most important thing is to train our brains to feel like we're not on diet we can enjoy whatever we want so instead of denying ourselves that we want something we can simply add something healthy on top of what we already eat so instead of cutting out carbs or sugar we can focus on incorporating more fruits and veggies into our meals this approach is much more forgiving and motivating because we're not fixating on what we want to eliminate but we are emphasizing what we want to add a positive

mindset can really change change the game when it comes to making Fitness fun and something you actually stick with and when you focus on small winds it keeps you motivated and over time working out just become a normal enjoyable part of your life that's what we want personally I don't even weigh myself I have no idea how much I weigh for me it helps takes the pressure of focusing on numbers and allow me to prioritize how I feel both physically and mentally this way Fitness becomes less about reaching a certain goal and more about overall

wellness and feeling great in my own [Music] skin my fitness journey will continue as it has become an integral part of my life I hope today's video inspires you to start your fitness journey and make it a part of your life because it's quite amazing [Music] ah [Music]
