- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Coming Soon!
At 15 years old, Cabel McElderry was a skinny kid with crooked teeth and a funny name Cabel, like many kids he struggled with self-esteem and a lack of confidence. Weight training and fitness became his vehicle to overcome these personal challenges and influences a career choice that would change many lives through empowerment and self-improvement. By 18 he was managing a local gym, by 23 he was considered to be one of Canada’s top amateur bodybuilders. This sparked his personal training career which over the next 15 years he would personally train thousands of people to dramatic physical transformation. He’s eliminated prescription medications, helped individuals avoid surgeries and even had a few people insist he, “saved their lives!” In 2007 he opened Red Deer’s award winning One-to-1 Fitness, hiring and educating trainers to impact even more local lives and recently opened a new location in Edmonton, Alberta. He’s been the Red Deer Advocate/Life’s longest standing columnist writing on health and fitness for more than 13 years and for the last three, added Personal Fitness Professional Magazine to his career portfolio. In recent years Cabel was a nominee for “Canada’s Top Trainer” and added to the list of “North America’s Top 100 Fitness Entrepreneurs,” and even produced his first documentary about overcoming physical limitations aptly named “CHANGE the Movie.”
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Two people he didn't know changed his life thur their kind words to another. We should all learn from this ~ spread kindness where you can ~ you never know the impact it will have on others. Pay it forward.
Genuine kindness, kindness/politeness alone without truth behind it could lead to miscalculation of reality.
Do or Die. That was the turning point. You can be inspired, you can have great support, you can be talented, you can believe in The Secret, but if you don't want it enough to die trying, none of it really matters. A mexican leader of the revolution is known to have said "I'd rather die on my feet, than live a life on my knees". Well done Mr. McElderry, the best is yet to come.
Cabel holy cow! Never thought I would stumble across a Ted talk with someone I know! Well done :) Awesome presentation!!
The part of succeeding without the safety pins really reminded me of The dark knight rises, climbing without the rope.
Great talk, well spoken. I will try to apply it to my own life.
Thank you.
Ha that's quite a compliment to be compared to my favourite superhero in his most difficult moment, that wasn't planned, but I swear that story is 100% true. It was hindsight it was a really dumb thing to do, but it really was a turning point, when I racked that bar after not 1 but 5 reps I never felt more powerful. Glad you you enjoyed it.
you probably dont give a damn but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Arthur Bronson instablaster :)
@Kristian Silas I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Kristian Silas It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
I find that dis-affirmation can be incredibly motivating too. When people tell me I can't do something or that I'm wrong about something, but I know that I'm right, it motivates me to work harder and prove them wrong.
Reminds me of one of my sons, who would keep a case of water, protein powder, creatine etc, in his vehicle, instead of beer and drugs. Took his own lunch to school so he could eat healthy
my gawsh...this is incredible. im pretty sure it also just transformed my thinking process. thank you!
“Inspiration is the fuel of dreams.”
I am on my second year at planet fitness 62 years old. I like it still...... Still avoiding squats
Thank you soooo much!!! Your speech is very inspiring to me to give the extra miles on working out 😊😣
Good stuff. I know how hard it can be sometimes to stay motivated to workout but I always come back to my why.

Very good TED TALK
Amazing video! Incredibly inspirational.
Amazing health information. Wonderful job.
Great inspirational video.
Absolutely fantastic.
Happy I stumbled on your beautifully articulate content.
What's sad about the squat story is the fact that someone at my gym didn't 'survive' the same issue and instead crushed both his legs with the bar falling and now has a min of 80k in medical debt and a solid year of recovery

There's free to use computers at any library. And even homeless people own cellphones.
By Affirmation did he mean persistence?
vidusha123 positive things you tell yourself consistently :)
Never, ever, ever squat without safety bars pins

( Inspiration/emotion/affirmation/solution )
Believe me this is all it is..... Useful but exaggerated presentation
when you realize there is still 8min left and the last 10 felt like 30...
Why wouldn't a homeless guy have an email
It takes a real disconnect, coupled with a breathtaking level of hubris, for characters who look like this to present themselves as fitness professionals qualified to school others. Fitness TedTalk after Fitness TedTalk it's the same story: the humiliatingly unfit daring to lecture others on how to achieve fitness.
Your measuring fitness by his appearance? Nice trick, can you teach us how to hide behind the comments section and draw speculative conclusions as well? Ever see a 380lbs lineman take 40+ snaps in a football game? You obviously know a lot about fitness since you had the courage to stand up in front of people and tal... oh wait, you didn't.
