You MUST watch this video

Thank you so much for posting this video!
It was so beautiful I was in tears
He is truly an inspiration!

that was incredible. i love people n stories like this - never under estimate ur body, its a gift not a piece of meat to just b looked at or taken 4 granted :flowerforyou:

Bloody Hell why do I always find myself making excuses to eat healthy or not wanting to go to the gym, honestly Im just plain lazy, after watching this video it has inspired me to stop making excuses, if people like this can do it then I can and I will.

Thank you sooooo much for posting. I had to save it and when feeling down I'll rewatch it over and over!

wow... am i the only one who thinks his yoga instructor was being incredibly irresponsible in introducing him to such advanced moves when he could barely stand?

he is incredibly lucky that he did not do himself further serious damage during one of those falls.

as someone who HAS been injured, who spent 2 years with limited mobility, who had 3 surgeries to correct it, and who has recovered without falling over once, i would like to add to this video that recovery is possible without putting someone at high risk of further injury.

i'm angry with the yoga instructors who turned him away, but i'm more angry that this instructor was so arrogant that he put someone else at risk.

Lamesauce! ...:huh: always one in the bunch:huh: !

She's right though. As much as I find this story extremely motivating, inspiring and touching, I think it could've been very dangerous for him to fall on his coccyx or something similar. Could've worsened his condition...

...one, or two!

I said he inspired me, that I found his story extremely motivating, and I even shared it with my friends and family. HOWEVER, some of the moves he was doing in the video weren't appropriate for his condition at the time. I am actually WORRYING about him.

Explain to me like I'm five years old.. How does that make me a hater?

Perhaps he was further into the moves when they started videoing him It didn't follow his steps every day day in and day out. How do you know that it was a month or two into the program when they recorded him trying to do the stunt? How do you know that DDP was the one that wanted him to do the move? Maybe he, himself wanted to see if he could push his body without the supervision of DDP....

And to be quite honest if DDP can have a broken back, collar bone, arm, leg, and be told hes gonna live in a wheel chair forever b/c of his wrestling career taking a toll on his body and was able to out smart the doctors by proving them wrong and then he wanted to share his help with someone else in a similar position I commend him.

Granted everyone does stupid things sometimes with their bodies and sure he could have hurt himself but he was willing to take those chances to lose the weight and look what happened.

I see your point, but this was a video filmed over 10 months. We don't see a step-by-step of what the instructor gave him from day 1. Who's to say that the instructor gave him those very hard moves straight away?

I saw some of the easier moves earlier on, and the standing on head ones later. I'm assuming that he built up some basic core strength before attempting those, as there's nothing to suggest otherwise.

Great video OP, thank you for sharing

So I finally got around to watching this...

All I can hear now is that little voice in my own head saying "what's your excuse?"

Thanks so much for sharing and hats off to that remarkable man.

Awesome!

That was amazing!!!!!! What a wonderful story!
