63 year old formally obese and sedentary grandma here who wanted to remain mobile and independent and hopefully without disease in my golden years so I started walking just over a year ago and never stopped- at first it was only 5 minutes for months and then momentum came to my fitness party and took over and for last 4 months I've walked 53 miles a month! I would have never believed it was possible but I've never been healthier or fitter! I weaned off sugar and ultra processed foods and eat my food at home omad style! I'm almost 100 lbs down! My mind is bright and curious & it's a great time to be alive! Thank you for this TedTalk- Excellent production! Take care of yourselves people ❤

I have lost two things in life: a lot of money, and a lot of gym sessions. And i feel more regret about the latter .. because the happiness i used to get with exercise is far more significant than what i got with money.

He is absolutely correct, I restarted my exercise program two years ago. The big difference is this time like he just stated my goal was yes to lose weight aka the pot belly , get healthy and stay that way, I threw away the scale and started. Now in the present my life has totally changed yes I lost 40 pounds with roughly another 20 to hit my target weight. I am stronger, toned up and built muscle which is not easy at 56. The greatest by product is my mental state I am happy and can deal with difficult situations much better and have a ton of energy. It’s hard work but it’s worth it of course I changed my diet and eat cleaner and take the right supplements to assist unfortunately a lot of our foods fall short in giving us all the minerals are bodies need. I still enjoy pizza, ice cream and chocolate the only difference I use as a reward it’s not my primary diet now. I have a real story that sums it up the best and perhaps it might inspire other people. A few months back in the winter I took my 3yr old grandson to an indoor playground. It had all the equipment that kids at that age love to do, He loved it but guess what I played with him for an hour and a half and I mean that literally if he was climbing, jumping and running I was right behind him at my age it was challenging. I couldn’t have been happier and I sweated naturally but I had plenty of energy and him telling me “come on Pa Pa let’s play warmed my heart and gave me a joy I haven’t experienced since I was a young lad! My daughter couldn’t believe I played with him the whole time. Talk about motivation that encouraged me even more and trust me I have step up workout routine to an advanced level. Plus I also work as a second job in the landscape industry (my own operation) and it is physically challenging so it helps me maintain my endurance after an 8 hour shift starting at 5:00am. If I can do it so can anyone else that is a fact.

Great Talk, I started exercising again 2 years and 9 months ago , and it is true what he said I am 56 yrs old now too , all the more important to exercise now , I dont lose weight with it , but it does wonders for my blood pressure, and my ability to climb stairs with things to carry.

Wow, great reminder - NO ONE (who truly cares about you), cares about how you look, abs, thighs, biceps - rather they care that you are healthy, confident, and present with them! Here are the four points to get the miracle benefits of exercise without the toxic side effects: 1. we have to stop being so hard on ourselves 1. Social comparison leads to some really toxic self-talk 2. Gratitude for what you have, not for what you lack 3. Gratitude journal 2. find something you enjoy and do more of it 3. measure performance and not your weight 4. most importantly, make this time non-negotiable 1. Take 20-30 minutes daily as YOU time

I like his positivity, however, I disagree with his overall message. I'm 5'9", and I was able to run a marathon weighing 240 lbs. I would have fit his narrative perfectly. However, now that I've lost weight (I'm now down to 190 and still improving), I've realized that the number on the scale truly does matter. Being lighter feels amazing. I'm not even close to being in marathon shape anymore, and yet I feel ten times better. I'm breathing easier, my back and joints feel better, and yes, being proud of the person I see in the mirror adds to that overall happiness.

That was amazing. And he was completely right that the people we care about don't care what we look like. I have friends that go to the gym and 99% of the time, I don't think about their bodies, I think about how happy I feel with them, and the laughter and childish grin I get when I'm with them. The other 1% I would think about their body is if A) they are at the gym working out B)We might be in a pool or doing some activity that requires minimal clothes (get your mind out the gutter😆) or C) when I'm exercising and they pop in my head, as well as D) when their clothes are too small/hugs their figure.

There’s a great little book on natural healing written by an older man who cured himself of a number of maladies without medical intervention, called My Physician, Myself. I read it a couple of years ago but lost my copy. I’m going to Amazon right now to order one and be more careful with it. It’s more than worth the read. You might look into the work of Luigi Cornaro, a Venetian nobleman who lived to be 102.

What a great talk, I couldn’t agree more. I exercise for heart health, improving my balance, bone density maintenance, brain clarity (and hopefully staving off dementia in old age) and lastly for mood enhancement and those mental feel good benefits. Weight loss or weight maintenance is due 95% to practising sensible dietary balance, the evidence for that is beyond doubt. I like to exercise for all the other wonderful benefits it confers on my feelings of well being. Our bodies are extraordinary biological machines, that like all machinery needs regular maintenance to keep it working well. I hope the cultural narrative shifts, and we begin to increasingly appreciate the amazing functionality of what our bodies actually do, day in and day out, and focus less on some artificially constructed ideal of how they should look.
