Been here since the early days and have loved just joining along in all the different life phases. At the end of the day I feel like people stick around because they love your personality, that’s why I’m here! I’ve also started getting into fitness in the last year and have really enjoyed you talking about your journey with it. I’d love to see some more vlog style content around your fitness routine and to hear more about your progress in getting your personal trainer certs
You are allowed to change in 14 years; it would be weird if you hadn’t changed. You have to do what’s right for you and I am thrilled for you that you have found a new passion. Just do you; it’ll be fine.
Yes I agree with this, her happiness and well-being and doing something that fulfills her is more important than views and trying to be the version of a person that strangers on YT want. I’m very excited for her.
Definitely missed the ramavlogs. I got so used to seeing them and looking forward to them over the years. But you're right. Things change! I've actually gotten into strength training the past year, going to the gym 6 days a week etc. Started at 39 and now 40. It's nice to see people over 30 encouraging fitness and being successful at it. Makes me feel more motivated. ☺️
I have followed you for years now, I am not a Muslim, not fussed either way about whether you show your hair or how you dress, I’m not into fashion or kettlebells tbh 😂 but I randomly stumbled across your channel and will stick around because I enjoy your vlogs and I like your vibe. I am sure when the mood takes you, you will return to vlogging at some point and I’ll be here for it when you do :) I enjoy hearing about your sisters adventures and new career and it’s fun to see you have a laugh with your hubby and just do random mundane stuff 😂 you do you boo 🎉
I actually want more kettle bell workouts i fell in love with it. The fact that i can workout my entire body with low impact and just one kettle bell. But i actually think you are a super interesting person (i feel like interesting people dont know they are interesting so not sure if you know it about yourself) so i would love a podcast AND a separate fitness page. That would be the best of both worlds
Dina I just want to say you motivated me to get back into fitness after having 2 kids. I wasn’t overweight and so I wasn’t exercising to lose weight or anything but now that I do exercise I feel tons better physically and mentally and have sooo much more energy to give mothering my all You even convinced me to buy kettlebells !
You've worked hard enough to grow this channel and it honestly wouldn't make sense to start from scratch all over again, so you do you girl!! Glad to see you back :)
Hey Dina. I just want to say something very valuable to you. I have been watching you since I think I was 15-16, it was I think like 8-9 years ago around that time. Oh my god. I feel like I’ve known you and grown with you as well now when I’m also an adult. It’s so crazy how time flies. And I still watch you sometimes, not as before when I was younger but recently I was nostalgic and remembered the persons I used to have a weird internet connection with and I typed your name on RU-vid and was like so nostalgic. Im so happy for your growth. I know you’ve recieved a lot of pressure and hate as well for the past years. Remember people who are better than you will never drag you down or make you feel bad, I would understand if it’s family or close friends who wants your best. But all those people on the internet can not get their own views and attention therefore they use women who made a name for themselves to get the views and attention. Especially the “ religious UK guys “ if they wanted good for women they would give free advice and guidance in private and not in public. I don’t know I just needed to tell you that even if it’s out of context. Girl I’m so proud of you and I’m so happy for you. It’s so strange that I have been watching you when I was in school and now I’m graduate university. And I don’t even know you personally and I feel this positive love and emotion. So remember when you feel like this is not good or anxiety about what you do or any negative emotion. Remember there’s strangers, women especially watching you even if they have studies or work to do, because they get happy seeing you. Keep shining. I don’t say all this to gain something because I’m anonymous anyways, I say it because it’s I mean it deeply from my heart. 💙💙💙💙
Dina I remember when you started the fitness journey in lockdown, I also got up and started then, after a couple months I fell back and stopped. Seeing you upload your journey out of nowhere got me hyped and so motivated! I’m back in my fitness and have been consecutive for 3 months, all because of you Dina. As a longtime watcher I’m so proud because I remember how hard it was at the beginning. Your clips motivate me sooo much and I always tell myself if Dina can do it so can I. Please don’t stop sharing the fitness journey those of us who are interested are very grateful because we relate so much! Go Dina! Vlog and show us what you want, at the end of the day this is your channel and it needs to be authentic, like it’s always been. ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve kept up with you awhile. I also love Yoga & Dance. I’ve taught, it’s fun & extremely rewarding. It’s lovely to see your content move in whatever direction your path and heart pulls you. Fun shorts are perfect glimpses into your family’s busy existence. I’m all for the health journey as well. I think it’s more fun when people help to motivate one another. Congratulations! Wellness! ❤🎉
This is so exciting!! So many people want to keep you in a box and don’t want you to change. You are allowed to change, shift, and pivot as many times as you want. Do you and you’ll be so much happier! ❤❤
I unsubscribed about 5 years ago when the hijab came off the main reason was coz i was struggling with my own hijab journey and didnt need the additional random influence. Now that im solid in that and also into fitness again now subscriber again😊
this channel is cool because you always show what you're currently into and doing In life, half the time were all going thru and having these same journeys behind the scenes too which is funny cos im always relating to you. appreciate how you always keep it real mashallah love y'all
Been here since pre babies. We are growing old too! Think the point you're at is the point I'm at. Stuff i enjoyed in my 20s seems a bit meaningless now to me and 100% would benefit from fitness especially as mine is all over the place. Keep doing you ❤
love this for you Dina. I’ve watched you since close to the beginning and I’m 33 myself now, also experiencing tons of life/ physical changes. I’m looking forward to what I can learn from you as I’ve also been on my own personal fitness journey over the last couple of years. Excited for you/ us all. 🎉
I loooove keeping up with your journey, regardless of what phase of your journey that you're in. I'm THRILLED that you're uploading fitness stuff because I want to pursue better health practices, but I'm also super glad that you're not making a new channel for this stuff because it shows such a natural progression in your growth, your personal journey through life and changing interests etc. It's more authentic in that sense, I think? Very excited to see what's ahead, Dina!
also want to say that I've been following since Hana was a wee baby, to see your growth as a family has been so wonderful and I just wish the best for you, Sid, the kiddos, and your extended families 🥺❤️ big hugs from very rural Ireland lol ☘️
been here for over a decade now. you're gonna change and evolve over time, it's inevitable. if people have a problem with that, they need to open their eyes and realise that every person changes - it's natural. so proud of you for doing what you love. don't let anyone rain on your parade!
Love the new content and really looking forward to seeing more of it! Keep doing what you’re comfortable doing!! I’ve been watching since you started and I’ve enjoyed watching the progress and transitions and how you’ve navigated the audience too. I am super inspired in your interest for fitness and learning new skills. Thank you for sharing!! Also I know you won’t be disheartened with losing followers but just in case you are a little disappointed, you’ll always gain new ones haha ❤❤
I’m one of your followers that have seen you grow from a young girl to a great mom. ❤ I did kettlebells back in 1990 and It was difficult to find them. Yes, it’s very difficult to use. I’m turning 61 this month and I have a disability. Can you please upload an exercise using a chair and light weight kettlebells? I want my arms and my upper body strength to be strong. I love your videos. Do what makes you happy and congratulations on your certifications, because it’s tough! ❤
Ive been checking in on you over the years, Dina and as a lady who is ten years older than you, it seems that you are just doing what a lot of us women so as we mature and we become moms, which is that we grow and change and find deeper truer interests. May God bless and keep you.
Its really normal to change interests and passions. We all do it. Only some are too invested in whatever they've built to restart. Not everyone is able to build something new and have to stick it out lol. It's a shame. I think what you're forgetting is, you and most of your audience are the same age (I'm guessing) and we are all probably on the same page in terms of career change or interest change so dw!
I remember watching you back when you lived in London (?) in a dorm like situation with other ladies (again I could be wrong about that detail) and you would post fashion content! I hadn’t started wearing the hijab yet and I remember just thinking about how I want to dress like you and also have your confidence! Especially at that age for me, you were such a great role model (not that you asked to be one)! Anyways I have seen the many life changes you have shared with social media and honestly I will happily follow along with all of the other changes! Especially with fitness since I’ve only started consistently going to the gym since the start of Ramadan (I know not the smartest idea to start then but my brain Is weird) and I’m loving it! I have already learnt so much about fitness from your instagram, which has greatly helped with my anxieties and lack of confidence in the gym! So yeah thank you for being a great role model for me over the years and even now that I’m 25, I still look up to the way you carry yourself with different aspects/changes to life
Hi Dina! Could you upload like beginner calisthenics workouts and like mobility training videos? Perhaps something like for your joints and how to start training to build your strength if you have weak joints? Thanks! : )
You do you Dina :) I’ve been following you now for about 9 years and always liked your content and I still do. I’m already doing fitness for years and starting to get interested in the whole kettlebell thing. This is thanks to your latest videos :) Ramadan mubarak
I saved those fitness videos to 'watch later' thinking that if anyone can make fitness accessible, approachable and relatable it's you! I'm a lot older than you and am not very good at fitness other than walks but would like to get into weights like kettlebells & load bearing to prevent osteoporosis, it's just I hate the feeling of being hot from exercising as it takes me ages & ages to cool down - I don't expect you to have a cure for that lol but am mentioning it just in case 🙃Also I trip over myself. I'd love to hear more about what it is you get out of fitness, what is it that so fascinates you about it.
You're awesome, its only natural to change. I am an extrmely different person now that i am 30 from when i was 20. If i was a youtuber my content would have changed 100%. Of course your content changes when you change. That only makes sense. I have no interest in fitness so I most likely won't be watching your new content unless there will be some normal vlogs but i love seeing you doing what you love and i am incredibly proud of you, always, you are a truly fierce woman Dina, you will always be a role model to me, Sending you love and wishing you the best always ❤️❤️❤️
Talk about what you are truly passionate about and the people who are passionate about that will find you! Or, people who like your genuine voice. Viva enthusiasm!❤
I am not the same as I was when I started following you. People shouldn't expect you to stay the same and do the same as well. We evolve. Hopefully, I'll continue to watch you and get motivated for fitness as it does seem to be interesting and fun.
You're this amazing cool intelligent girl, I've noticed years ago that I actually enjoy listening to your opinions, more than anything else. On anything, really. I see you as that friend that I don't see often, but when I do, I feel great, like my mind has been expanded by the sheer experience of being exposed to your energy, your voice, and above all your brain that I like so much. You wanna talk about how to style a hijab? I'm here for it. That's how I started watching, I am a Christian Orthodox by tradition, leaning towards atheist thought by conviction, and live in a country that has had really bad experience with Muslims...so ..I don't know why I loved your videos on headscarves so much, but I adored them. You made me realize headscarves are sooo so stylish and elegant and sophisticated, and that I don't need to be a Muslim or a devout Christian/Jew or anything, to wear them. I bought a ton of scarves in second hand shops and practiced wearing them in front of mirror all alone at home for hours. Thanks to that I don't have "bad hair days" anymore, I only occasionally have "sophisticated turban & earrings days" now, and that's a different level.😉 You wanna talk about pregnancy and kids? I'm here for it, girlfriend, I don't have kids, but I have learned a lot through your and Sid's vlogs. You wanna talk about fashion? I love your choice of clothes, you're really talented and smart about creating outfits. You wanna talk about how it is in Dubai when you're not a traveller looking for some crazy ways to have fun but a more chill approach? I liked what I saw. You and Sid wanna talk about man-woman relationships and give sound relationship advice? Heck, you guys were the best I've seen on the Internet. And I needed relationship advice just as much as I needed hijab styling, lemme tell you that. 😅 I'm with the this super nice guy for 12 years now, I was actually trying to convince him for us to do the same, inspired by you guys. Now you wanna talk about some Russian, of all places, cattle, of all things/beings, BELLS?? Whuut? Alright... let's talk about cowbells, cowgirl! 😃 I don't like gyms or excercise and I completely recognize myself in what you said about using machines and all that. So it's the same situation as the hijab, the kids, the Ramadan, the relationship advice. I will listen to it and love, if not it, than most certainly your opinion on it. ♥️♥️ Glad to have seen Sid even if only through the manly loud door slamming. To which I always have exactly the same neuro-physiological reaction as you, since childhood, for exactly the same reasons as you. PS When you read my name you'll realize this is not easy for me to say, but I cherish the truth above all else. And the truth is... I'm the second coolest Dina I know. You're the coolest. Dina. 🌞🏆
idk with these "people", but I like watching your workout videos even looking forward to it because I am currently in my life as well where I work out quite often. And we're almost the same age. Changing for the better version of you is progress. So keep it up!. Thanks for your workout tips! Wa alaykumu s-salam
Thank you for always staying authentic. You one of the very few RU-vidrs I have stuck to watching. You are inspirational with the videos you produce and they have this sense of honesty and realness which is fair and few. ❤
❤ a modest workout clothes lookbook for summer would be amazing, if you are interested. My default is long shirts over leggings, but there are probably stylish options I haven't considered.
I actually really like your fitness videos! It helps keep me motivated and your transformation has been really amazing and can help so many people who are new to fitness
Following you means following along the journey of every version of YOU that you become. All of us evolve and change. To not do that would actually be concerning. Your fitness journey is a really cool part of you I love to see. I also love to see you as a mother, a sister, and a wife. Women are not one dimensional and every single identity that makes you who you are can and should be celebrated.
I really appreciate your fitness journey. I've been following you since the begigining. And i'm as old as you. So i feel like we have grown up together. It's so inspiring to see how far you have come to fitness. You really did a great job and made a lot of rematkable progress. So i'm very happy with your fitness content and i get moltivated alot by your videos. Can't wait for your new follow along workouts ❤❤❤❤❤
I have followed you for many, many years, and I think of everything that I have been through during all this time and how so many things have changed. The same has been the case for you, of course! I love you, you and your family have been such a nice thing in my life and I will keep supporting you! Be yourself and share genuinely without guilt or worry.❤
I'm so proud of you I relate so much to you and I'm continously batling with diets and overeatung6and over working out and then not working out for months. I love your content and you are amazing. Please can you make a video of how to stay consistent and make healthier lifestyle permanent 🙏 much love ❤️
I love that you found fitness for yourself!! I find that really inspiring and I think eventually I Will do something too..I Dream of being strong!! Not as much as you..Just fitter!
I've been following u since the start. Love you so much and love your authenticity. By sharing your struggles and challenges, I became stronger and learnt alot. Thank you for your priceless presence. We love you
i would love some daily kettle bell challenges or fun exciting pro fitness stuff thats not just GYMBRO vids haha, i learned a little for pt but it's hard to keep consistency.
I’ve followed for around 10 years and love seeing the diversity in videos. Yes, I love blogging videos but I also understand blogging is much more difficult with family. Seeing you grow has been great.
I'll check out your new content, I've following you guys since the beginning. I remember telling us years ago before you had your babies that as a teenager you loved doing home workouts. We all change over the years. I'm happy to see your back on youtube.😊
thanks for the context :) if you could give us your routine for how you got your arms/upperbody to the state they are in now - They are goals! My arms are my biggest insecurity :) I know you had told us about how you got started a while back to get to do a pull up... but yea more in depth about how often, how long and what exercises to do to get the arms looking so fit. thank you!
Just love your honesty and genuine personality that’s why I follow you. Yes I m not into fitness but interested in how people develop in life and this video was reflective and mature. All the influencers have an agency or people doing the business part in the background so don’t feel bad about not being business skilled. You do great ❤
Don’t stop these fitness videos , they really good , Even if they target a small audience , it is the most beneficial type of video, Fashion etc won’t help you have a healthy life , fitness will It will encourage more people to begin their own workout routine
What I always love about u the most was ur authenticity. Keep being yourself and u ll find new tribe if needed. Love you whatever u do and am gonna get myself a kettlebell. You inspired me. ❤
People change and people can move on if they don't like it. You can also post every once in a while vlogs or random videos and that could be a middle ground as well. I think its a great move and looking forward to new videos!
I love your content! Been watching since “where’s my wallet”. And loving the fitness content. I think so many people are getting back into or into fitness so I think you’ll find new subscribers or motivate subscribers. Keeping going!!!
I’ve been with you on here since Hana was a baby 🤍 I love all your changes and your family vlogs, Sid and Dina Q&A, Ramadan vlogs were my favorite 🥲 and I’m so so happy with your fitness videos 😍 I myself got into my fitness journey 9 months ago and I hope with time I can get as strong as you Dina MashaAllah I love you and your fam 😘
I used to watch you when working in my shop making framing for art. My life was a whole lot different. You wore hijab and were expecting your first baby. My life has changed and I'm so happy to see, that your life has changed, too! :) You have found new interests and goals. That is how life goes.
You've grown as a person and your audience has grown with you ❤ keep doing what you're doing, fashion has come out of fashion, people want fulfillment and health and fitness is part of that. Keep your content authentic to you
Ya Dina, I just rediscovered you from when I watched you about ten years ago with hijab tutorials. I'm back to watch your new content, whatever that may be! You'll always be happiest when you vlog about what you're passionate about, and that's what matters! Eid Saeed and may Allah bless you and your beautiful family, mashaAllah
I've been following you for many years. The content you used to be make as hijabi(creating modest fashion) was inspiring for me. And also your sense of humor was so good. Those were hilarious videos. For hours I would watch your videos. Now I also sometimes watch your videos. What I feel is back than you had many insecurities about your body, that you tried to hide with funky clothing. And now you're on a journey to dismantle those insecurities. You have almost reached that stage. That's why you feel so good about yourself now. 🎉
It's cool to see you evolve and pick up new passions and do what makes YOU happy. We only have so much time on this planet, so what's the point of doing things for the sake of others and not ourselves. (obviously big caveat on that last part for family)
Love the fitness content, would love to hear more about the BED and your journey through it recently. Ties in to your fitness a lot and mental well-being 🙏
Dina can you make Q&A on fitness specifically on how to build muscles? I’m been exercising and into fitness since 2011 n never looked shredded! Never been into protein shakes, some people I know didnt recommend it n unfortunately couldn’t stick to a diet!
Hi Dina, Hope you don’t mind a few suggestions….it would be fun to see you upload vlogs with adult Hannah again or collaborate with you tubers, e.g. you could do a podcast interview while you workout. Maybe you could try reporting on festivals and giving your perspective on events in the Islamic calendar. There’s going to be a food festival at the NEC. We’ve always enjoyed seeing you try new things! ❤
Ramadan Mubarak Dina 💜 Your real subscribers love your content because of your authentic personality! (No matter what you're doing). Would love to see some combined fitness and vlog content
I don't mind the fitness videos but it would be nice that every now and then u could chat with us on any topic of interest. Also please bring back Sid and Dina questions❤
Money is a driving factor for many of us. Providing training courses/ classes actually brings in more than enough money probably more now than your social media pages. Therefore, your focus is now your training/ fitness because your energy you give gets materialised financially than vlogging or other social contents.
