Seeing a friend of mine go through it now! I did everything I could to get her to change her life the past two years & now, I don’t believe she will ever be going back to a normal life but totally brought on because she let food & the couch consume her!

Such an inspiration. I started exercising at 53 after being sedentary my whole life and weighing in at 205 lbs. Both my mother and grandmother were tiny women, but had to use walkers by the time they were 70. I'd already been diagnosed with degenerative bone disease in my spine after my mother passed in 2014 and I knew that being heavy and sedentary would only exacerbate my issues. I wasn't motivated, however until Nov 2019 while at the doctor's for pre-menopausal issues (oh those are fun!) and I stepped on the scale that I had a complete breakdown and decided right then I was done. I started eating healthy and exercising....a little at a time. I'd purchased a HIIT program and shelved it, convinced I'd never be able to do those moves and so I rode a stationary bike and did a few strength training exercises. I began to shed the weight and get stronger and in 9 months lost almost 90 lbs. I incorporated those HIIT exercises and now do them with ease. My husband was a constant source of support, but he became ill in April 2021 and after being informally diagnosed in early May with liver cancer, then formally after a biopsy on May 11...he passed away on May 19 of 2021. It was a rare and unbelievably aggressive cancer that took him within weeks of his diagnosis. Needless to say my world was shattered. My foundation was shaken to its core. There was no time to even process that he had cancer and he was gone. I was widowed at 55 years old. He was my constant source of support and instead of crawling in a hole and giving up...I continued to do those workouts. I pushed on and kept working out every day. It's what kept me going. Thinking about his constant praise and encouragement...cheering me on. I apologize for the long winded ramble, but my point is that exercise and maintaining my health have truly changed my life. It's kept me positive during those lonely, grief stricken moments when I could have so easily given up. You are such an inspiration Dianne. You show it's never too late and with hard work, consistency and a can-do attitude, you really can accomplish anything. Congratulations and keep up the great work. I can tell you feel as fantastic as you look!

I am 70 and also have autoimmune flare ups that keep me in bed. With my illness I have to rest when my body needs it and not over do. That will just set me back further. When I feel better I just start back again and take it slow but consistently. It isn't a competition! You can do it. Also one tip that helps me is I got a Garmin watch that tracks energy. If it shows arrow down I rest which helps me as I always was a person to over do and push myself. It also helps to get plenty of sleep. Sleep is key for me to stay active. Good luck

Stopped moving, walking, etc. She could have kept at it and kept moving her body if she really truly wanted to, but she just simply stopped. Slowly she physically deteriorated. When I first met her she was using a walker, in the end she couldn’t stand on her own at all and then became bedridden, then passed. It was sad and frustrating to watch. She gave up.

Fair play to her. She came back from being old to being much younger. She's right you've got to keep moving or else you lock up and it just happens nearly overnight.. you get stiff and begin to loose your balance easily and just can't do simple things. It creeps up on you and suddenly one day we wake up old. She's an inspiring woman.

I appreciate stories like this that tell me I am doing the right thing for myself. My wife died from a heart attack about a year ago and my belief is it was largely due to not taking her health issues seriously. In January, I was informed at 60 that I was at risk for many of the usual old fart issues, but the Dr. realized I was motivated to not just fix it with prescriptions if there were better ways. She said to come back in 3 months for another blood test. With exercise and eating better I have gotten most of those risk factors under control, lost 40 pounds and have been told to keep doing whatever I am doing. I am fortunate in that I have a physical activity I enjoy and have done most of my life, cycling. So I cut out all the crap, rode my bicycle more and have been educating myself and making small changes one at a time. The small changes add up. My goal is to grow up to be a badass old man. Thanks for the additional motivation.

Whatever you do, just do something to keep yourself moving. After my my younger sister saw this video, she called to say that she wanted to start back exercising because, "Tomorrow may be too late."

Everything hurts from head to toe. Dr’s now just tell me their isn’t anything more they can do and to accept it and learn to deal with it. They say Fibromyalgia, arthritis, bone spurs, pinched nerves in my neck and back, disc degeneration in my neck and back. I have tried everything possible over the years medically. Went into a deep depression, started drinking more and eating badly and have put on 50 lbs. I have zero strength. I work from home and rarely leave the house I am so ashamed of my appearance.

I’ve had 19 surgeries, had fibromyalgia, arthritis and had a NASTY back surgery that failed, was 135 overweight, could barely move. I gave up all dairy, then slowly meat and ALL PROCESSED food. Start by eating CLEAN, Organic WHOLE FOODS! that’s easy…I am not quite to my goals but in 8 months I lost 80lbs, and started walking, then just recently added DDPY… meanwhile I climbed a mountain in Ecuador! Not like Mt Everest, but I climbed from 5,700 ft all the way to 10,000 ft with only walking sticks and my own body….if I can do THAT, YOU can come back to a Healthy, Active body! Trust me, if you can have an open mind, Dr Joe Dispenza and Diamond Dallas will get you back to the land of the LIVING! Start with 1 of Dr Joe’s books, Becoming Supernatural…or one of his other books ….I’m 100% behind you! You CAN HEAL !

It means so much to know that my experience has helped you to believe you can get going and own your life! You are still so young. When I was your age I'd never thought about the prospect of having surgery when I was older. I'd not stayed in a hospital overnight since my daughter was born 40 years ago. BUT last year at age 72, I had a 5-day hospital stay after parts of my lung were removed due to a fungus. I was fortunate to have a family member stay with me 24/7 those 5 days & nights, but because I'd spent the previous 2-years working on regaining my strength and balance ability, I can't tell you how independent I felt because I could get up from my hospital bed and slowly walk to the bathroom instead of having to use a bed pan. During my home recovery, I again learned "use it, or lose it" because after a period of limited activity it almost felt like I was starting over to regain the strength and balance of my youth once again. But now, I'm bouncing back thanks to a thing called Muscle Memory and working out daily again. So please go for it, and TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE while you're still so young!

Amazing…good for you!! In 2020 I decided to retire when the pandemic started.. I was 72, fairly fit (I was a weight lifter in my younger days… now a constant walker. My job required me to be on my feet all day. ) I think I got into a depression, and I absolutely despised myself for playing a victim. But most of my exercises and self-care fell to the wayside. A few months ago I finally went in for my check up and found out I had osteoporosis. I blamed myself for giving up, too much drinking, too much sugar, and no self-respect. That day changed my life… boom.. done being a victim. I have myself to blame, so I was going to be the one to do the work to fix this. I completely cleaned up my diet and started researching exercises, started walking with intention and building up stamina with a weighted vest, and no longer taking myself for granted. My strength improved daily! Just recently I started Dr Fishman yoga for osteoporosis…. Just incredible how I felt after day one! Now I’m starting DDP yoga to help build my strength. Sarcopenia is a killer of the elderly… and this helps with the muscle wasting. I do balance work and can put on my pants and socks standing on one leg! My wall sits went from 15 seconds …slowly building now to 90 seconds. I stand taller, walk more purposefully and feel better after making myself a priority. Women need to stop saying “ I put everyone else first”…. No one wants to hear that and no one cares! No one wants to take care of you if you just let yourself go…. I realized I was making MYSELF a burden. I was thrilled watching this video and the stumbling start … oh my! I felt such anger! How did I let myself get like this? I had to watch videos on how to get up from the floor! Now, after a few months, I’m able to stand up without assistance. Nothing feels as good as self respect. At almost 76 I’m in the best shape I’ve been in years…and this is after only a few months! I love that this does not require a gym as there is none near me and would be another excuse. The only issue was the start…Life changed!

When I was younger, I never thought about working out to prevent muscle loss during my senior years. I didn't start this program until I was age 70. And two years later, in Nov last year, my body was put to the test. I had a 5-day hospital stay after having surgery to remove parts of my lung. I am so thankful that I had the strength to get out of my hospital bed and walk with very little assistance to the bathroom instead of relying on hospital staff to help me use a bedpan. Being able to use the strength and balance I'd worked on building during the previous months felt so empowering!

You so beautifully shared how to change one’s life. I’m 59 1/2 and was starting to realize that my youth had run out. Surgery and limitations were just around the corner. Then I went to the last doctor and therapist and realized they had helped some but something was still missing and the future wasn’t bright. The missing part was me. It took seven months for me to commit to a text couch for workouts. That was just over a year ago. As I watched your video my heart was bursting because you were so honest and vulnerable to show your journey. And because I’ve started my own journey. I also have felt the same ecstatic joy of feeling strong and energized. I’ve got my sites on learning to surf! Yet you are still challenging me to have the same drive for eating well consistently as I now have for building my strength and agility. I’m so grateful for all the great videos of people sharing their expertise in various forms of fitness but yours is the whole story and like a Cinderella fairy tale of sorts. I’m sharing this with my 79 yr old mother and my 57 yr old sister with MS. This will inspire them for real. Thank you for not giving up! And thanks for the taking on the challenge of filming it too!

I have been watching a good number of vids about osteoporosis and reading all the comments as well.... what this lady is doing is very much a part of the formula for dealing with osteoporosis. Re-building strength and balance gives back so much in pursuing a normal life.

Awesome job, its good to see older people taking better care of themselves. I'm 66yrs old started yoga 7yrs ago, since then I've went to two different teacher trainings which were a blast, I had taught at a few studios but now, I love to practice it's the bestest thing I ever did for myself.

Loved it, congratulations, I will be 74 on Jan 5th and have worked out (serious resistance training) 5-6 days a week since 1969, I added 30 mins of basic yoga about 10 years ago. I made shitloads of bad decisions in my life, however, staying fit makes up for them all. I am not "age-related invisible" in any way. I get kudos from the young when I tell them how old I am and can still flirt and have a positive response.

I just turned 74 on Dec. 12...and like you have been on a modest workout program since college..(my weight is the same as in high school)..but experiencing sarcopenia now...the pump I use to get from curls lasts about 15 minutes lol...the question I have for you any dietary changes any HRT? Do you still have "morning wood" or "mourning wood"...lol

@@bogee4u No HRT, as tempted to a shortcut as I was I just feel it is not truly safe. Morning and nightly wood are daily occurrences, I am blessed both with"lead in the pencil" and someone attractive to write to. My diet has long been excellent, high protein. low carbs and zero processed or junk food, however, in the last few years, I have followed a daily 18-hour fasting regime. The other notable thing which I believe has been very positive is a daily creatine dose.

YES! Thank you so much for this one! It's not age that causes all the weakness and disability in the elderly...it's inactivity and muscle atrophy. I'm only 64 and fighting this battle to remain mobile and pain free. I walk 30-40 minutes every day and do some stretching and calisthenic exercise, but I know it's not enough. Diane has inspired me to really go for it with DDP yoga. New year coming up...new path for me!

@@chantellucky4565 I went ahead and subscribed to the DDPY app for one year on Thanksgiving. I'm delighted to find out I can begin at the Beginner level, without the assistance of a chair. There's a learning curve to learn all the basic moves and the adaptations I need to make due to my weaknesses. I just take my time and look forward to being able to increase my strength, range of motion, and pace. This is so much more than walking or other exercises I had been doing. It engages my entire body and I'm feeling better already. I notice better posture. Let's go! 💪💪💪😁

I was diagnosed with hyperactivity disorder in 1977 I was 4 years old. The doctors wanted to give me medication and parents refused. My Mum had done yoga for years not just for physical well-being but mental wellness too. She made a routine for me in the morning and in the evening. She taught me meditation as well and to this day YOGA IS MY MEDICATION! I can't tell you the benefits I get from my Yoga ❤️

You have a smart and caring mother❤. Glad she gave you an alternative to medication that works for you. It’s sad doctors don’t prescribe natural options before jumping to meds. My son struggled with tantrums and depression but once he started tackle football in middle school it helped a lot. He said it helped him focus, clear his mind and not obsess about things. You should be proud of yourself for keeping it up👏

Oh, Vee... You made me smile! Yes, many in my generation were more fortunate to enjoy their youth spent outdoors without the distractions of today's techie gadgets. But after most of our adult lives may have bee spent working sedentary jobs inside buildings, it may take us a while to wake up and realize that IF we want to enjoy the rest of our lives, we may need to reactivate the muscles we ‘had’ in our youth.
