This is so inspiring! This could be an entire series of "Training With _______" where you cover all sports. You would be amazing at Rock/Sport Climbing, which is a severely underrated Olympic sport in my opinion
@@natachaoceane My housemate and I actually just went bouldering this weekend and I wound up telling her all about you and how she should follow you on UA-cam! We’ve been going down a bouldering rabbit hole on the internet and Shauna Coxsey was one name that came up a good bit. Also, we’ve been so floored with Sydney McLaughlin’s 400m hurdle performance recently - it would be so cool if you could do a video with her!
@@natachaoceane team GB Molly Thompson-Smith does lead climbing and also bouldering or in the USA these girls are super strong too : Brooke Raboutou, Natalia Grossman, Kyra Condie and Quinn Mason
I love these videos with Olympic athletes especially for, with a lack of a better word, more obscure sports. You really get to see how good they are to reach that level
I always think it's nice to see and learn about sports that aren't promoted as much - there's so much variety it's worth exploring!! Completely agree with you too, their abilities are amazing 🙌🙌🙌
I love how fast you improve with everything you try - I feel like it really shows what an insane fitness level you have overall. That’s so inspiring 👌🏻✨
you're really sweet, thanks a million Annika 🥺 I think learning to see fitness as a platform to jump into all kinds of experiences really made a huge difference for me and gave me so much confidence to try everything I can ❤🔥 I really hope you feel that way too
@@natachaoceane Fitness definitely is a good basis. BUT there is also some talent while others take much longer to get the techniques right at even younger age you were a fast learner and that is very helpful in any sport. And in my opinion that is a gift you either have or you do not.the details then are the hard work. Just remember how fast the other two were in that one leg raise. You got it right how to move but the speed is the type of training for the muscles they did plus some genetics because fast twitch fibres are individually different between people in amount by birth and people long thought that the slow ones cannot be converted into fast ones which was proven wrong during the pademic so this is fresh news and hope for some people.
It's so humbling to see you not be "the best" but it's really just a testament to your strength and personality that you're able to train with some of the best in the world!
haha that's really sweet 🥺 I've tried to go for sports I've never tried and don't think I'll be great at because I really hope I can share that there's nothing wrong with being bad at something and learning even if it's in front of experts, so your comment means a lot. Thank you 🥰
What I love most about you is that you don’t hold yourself back from trying new things and you don’t get embarrassed when you’re not amazing right away. It’s something I’m really bad at and you inspire me to work on it ❤️
It's the same for me and I totally feel how it's getting in the way of me getting better at stuff because I'm too embarrassed to try and get discouraged quite easily if my progress is slow.

Everything is possible with our God. He is God Almighty and Omnipotent 🔥🙌❤️Will pray for your recovery. Everyone is going through something right now but we are in His hands. But not a hair of your head will be lost without Him knowing it. Be strong 🙌

It seems like you are never tired of trying something new. You prove that there are no limits and no boundaries. Everything is possible once you set your mind on it. Currently, My sister and I (we are twins) sitting at the Warsaw airport waiting for a flight to London. We are from Ukraine, managed to find very kind people who are willing to host us. Thank you for your top-notch videos. We will never stop admiring you, your strong will and unstoppable curiosity. Say hello to Mario. You are the best 🔥 By the way, your style is implacable!
hey Margaryta! wow this comment was really touching, you are so kind for everything you said and I was just about to say I hope you feel the same way about your limits and boundaries. I am really happy you have found people who are hosting you, and that you have a safe space to stay for the moment. I'm sorry for everything you and your family must have gone through. Your strength is incredible and I am hoping for so much goodness in the future ❤🔥
I totally agree with you. I really like showing how these athletes train in S&C because I feel like it really shows how functional exercises are actually highly valuable in sport and also in life when sometimes it's not totally obvious.
It’s crazy that this was your first try, they’re not exaggerating, you look like you’ve done it before. I’ve trained around elite TKD athletes for the past 6 years and I second this! 👆
Quite literally THE best health and fitness youtuber out there. You are so great at everything you do and have helped me immensely. I used to over eat every single day. I'm still on my weightloss and health journey but you've made things easier for me by sharing factual information so I don't have to guess what is the correct way to lose weight or exercise. You're amazing I really appreciate how genuine you are
This actually made me cry. You two are incredible rolemodels. Making movement about fun, friendship, confidence and so much more. Makes my inner young girl's heart sing.
just today I was thinking how badly I want a new video, and here it is! I really love your chemistry with the female athletes you invite in your videos. I am so fascinated by all women in sports, especially professional. I live in Ukraine, and there is currently a war here, and your videos help distract me mentally and motivate me to work out (I work out at home for a little over a month). I will look forward to your new videos, you are absolutely sweet and nice person, thank you for your channel and everything you do ❤️
hey beautiful! wow this was such a kind, thoughtful comment. thank you. I am really lucky that so many of these insane athletes are just great people too and it's so easy to make friends with them, and it's an honour to get to share some of their behind the scenes. more importantly, I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. I hope you know that you have so much support from around the world and that the resilience and strength you're showing is inspiring. you're incredible and thank you for everything ❤🔥
I absolutely LOVED this video! I trained in taekwondo for the majority of my life and this is the type of population I hope to target with my physical therapist assistant degree. So neat to see you guys train together, Ana is so genuine you can just tell.
Seriously, your joy for learning and growing is contagious Natacha. It’s so clear in the glow of everyone around you how much care you take in how you present the sport. You’re so respectful and so inevitably you earn their respect in this way. I love this episode ❤
seeing the sport specific warm up/training/techniques is so cool! this series, if it can be called that, is amazing, makes you appreciate the hard work and athleticism of everyone included even more. also "it's just a nose, you don't kick with it" 😳
I just had the biggest smile on my face when I got this notif! You always inspire me, but I think I’ll be even more inspired seeing you learn self defense ❤️ thanks for being an amazing role model!
Every time I see a new video of yours it makes my day. I couldn’t possibly express how much you’ve impacted my life, I used to be consumed by trying to be “healthy” by being incredibly restrictive. Now I’ve just finished my daily proper (ie safe and moderate) training for my second 10k, I’m making pancakes and settling down to watch this. Couldn’t imagine I’d be comfortable eating pancakes and not running to the point of exhaustion, but here we are 💞
hey Skye (: I'm super proud of you for where you've come to! It takes a lot of work getting to this place from where you were but you made that happen for yourself and I hope you give yourself the credit for that every day (: It's dinner time here for me and now I\m craving pancakes tbh 😂😂😂 All my love!! xx
Wow that intro was a kick in the face... hehehe. So glad you had fun! And it's just what I needed. I've got what I needed from weight lifting and now I'm really looking to find more freedom in my body, moving it in new ways, espcecially ways I can use in real life
@@natachaoceane im making time to try fun things - I just found a place near me that does actual swordfighting with armor. How crazy is that! gym is just twice a week now, prioritizing calisthenics. And now I have more time to run again (and sprint, my fav), along with flexibility (while watching tv, one of your suggestions!). Thanks for keeping it fresh, from this to just new moves in a workout😎. It rubs off on us!
I hope you get the opportunity to keep training with more incredible athletes, it's so fun and inspiring to watch! This sport is so cool and I will definitely be following it at the next olympics!
You are so bubbly, so much fun to watch, and you make everything look like a great time! I seriously appreciate your videos showing powerful female athletes and trying out their sports, especially since it shows young girls around the world more sport options they can pursue and some of what it includes. You are really inspiring to me and I always have a smile plastered on my face while I watch your content 😊 thank you for the joy you brought me today!
This was such a cool video! Loved it! The whole time I was impressed by how well you kept up with her, but 6:04 made me laugh. It’s insane how fast they are, leaving you behind 😂 I would love to see more of these videos.
I'm a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor but when I started I was sooo awful, for like months, years even maybe. I would really love to see you try BJJ , I'm pretty sure you would be surprisingly great and you would put us all to shame. You have such a positive attitude and you never give up, I would love to see you try out my sport. Btw, I've used your training guides multiple times in my strength training routine (mostly cut) to prepare for competitions. Love your work and your channel, you always cheer me up!💜💜💜
your videos are always so inspiring, Natacha! I tend to stick to the same old, same old with my training but your videos remind me that it’s just as important to have fun and PLAY 💖
play time is always the best time!! Or the most fun at least but those core gym moves make their way into every athletes programme too so you're mostly there!! (: xxxx
I love it! As a Korean, I am so proud of you(너가 정말 자랑스러워), Natacha! Your 발차기(kicks), 기합(vocal) are perfect! Your shoulders look so strong and straight up. I just want to say that you inspire me to become stronger, and you with the Taekwondo is a signal to me to work harder! I had a PAO (Periacetabular Osteotomy) and femoral correction surgery due to hip dysplasia exactly 1 year ago. It was more difficult than I expected to recover, and I am still recovering. I can now run with a slow pace. I know that you also had to stop training for a year due to back injury, but hey, Your RESILIENCE just SHINES! I hope I can become stronger, even stronger than before like you, so that I can hike 7,000 meter (Mt. Lenin, for example). Please keep exploring, I will support you and get motivated by you! Loves, Su
These videos training with Olympic medalists have been so fun! You're someone who I consider SO fit so it's wild to see how well trained these Athletes are (and they've been such lovely people to get to know!)
I used to do taekwondo in middle school. I wasn't that bad but I didn't have friends so I stopped. It's so inspiring to see Ana enjoying taekwondo, I really want to feel that too!
Thanks for the high quality mini documentary with the Olympic Champion :) I learned a lot especially in the training session, you and ana discussed about the trade-off between musle mass and speed/agility. Definitely solved the mystery of not-so-toned look of martial art pratitioners.
I LOVE those kinda videos of you trying different sports and training with different athletes! Everything about you, your energy and the people you choose to introduce us to is so inspiring. Keep it up Natacha
This was such a cool episode. Ana seems so humble and badass simultaneously. Love how you got to know each other a bit and how good the questions you asked were. Maybe you could meet with other athletes and just kinda vibe with them like you did here in the future, like a series. Oh and it’s gotta be said: Ana’s kick is higher than my self-esteem 😂 Really impressive!
My 9-year-old does Taekwondo and this is not an easy sport to do! Love watching you humble yourself with things outside of your comfort zone while also showing how a sport can demand different body compositions and strengths to cater to that activity. Thanks for a fun video!
Hi Natacha! It's so cool to see how you're training with these amazing athletes and how they're sharing so much with you! Also the way you easily pick up those techniques; so impressive! Keep up the amazing videos :)
hey beautiful! that's so sweet, thank you so much for saying! 🙈 I guess I kinda have some cheat codes in learning from the best, so I give them a lot of the credit!! I hope your workouts are making you really happy and full of confidence! big hugs Sarah❤🔥❤🔥
I love the editing. Also last time I watched this video I hadn't done Taekwondo but now watching this again, I've been doing it for 2 months and it's pretty cool seeing that we use similar drills to this video.
The intro itself tells you this is gonna be intense! I’m so proud of you natacha to see how far you have come!! This inspires me to one day take the leap and try something new with my workouts
yeeeeaaa so so happy to read that! I really hope you do and I hope you find so many things you love and that make moving so exciting! all my love always! stay smiley ❤🔥
I haven’t even watched the video yet but I want to say - I love you Natacha! You helped me develop a healthy mindset towards my own body and self image. Every time I walk around London, I wish I see you somewhere so I can run towards you and hug you haha ❤️ Thank you for bringing the best content to all of us and for continuously fighting against crazy diets, overexercising, BS companies and their fake products. We love you so much! Aaaaw I just want to be your best friend 🥰 …and now let’s watch the video ✨
omg the fact that you were in charlotte and i didnt run into you makes me sooooo sad but this video is SOOOO FUN. I did mixed martial arts for my entire childhood and this brings back so many amazing memories. Always love new content from you!!
Natacha can you do a video on poor posture and how to fix it? I looked a lot into the topic but have found a fix yet and your videos always are backed up with good references and are easy to understand
I legitimately have to force the big teethy smile from my face because my jaw starts aching on a regular basis when watching your videos, Natacha. You just are a bliss and I am so grateful for you.
As a taekwondo athlete this was such a fun video! I haven't been able to train as I has an ACL and meniscus repair, so this gave me so much FOMO! I sat smiling and giggling the whole video throughout! Please consider taking up taekwondo! You're so naturally talented at it!
hey Christél 🥰 wow I hope your recovery goes super well! I can't wait for you to be back into it and loving the feeling again. I actually have started looking into if there are lessons near me, I really want to pick up a new sport so you never know. All my love!
I loved this video, Natacha! A different style to your usual videos but still amazing as always. I would love to see more videos of you training with Olympic athletes :) your vibe is so radiant throughout the entire video :)
These are some of the most unique videos on UA-cam. It’s cool to learn about some of the best female athletes in the world and their sports. And see the comparison to a newbie. Love love love!
This is such a great, high quality, inspiring video. More of this please!! 🙏 I also live how naturally talented and athletic Natacha is at pretty much everything she tries. What a dream!!
Hi Natacha! Is this going to be a series cause I am loving this! Ana and Nevin’s videos were so original and so much fun to watch! Please do more of this it’s brilliant!
I love this kind of content, seeing you train with different athletes and finding the differences and similarities in you trainings is charming. Also, i love the attitude everyone has in this video, it was legit so fun to watch!
I was taking a shower but natacha's notification popped up so I had to rinse my hands from the shampoo and comment to let you know that this video sounds like a lot of fun lol
I loved Ana and Faith, they’re both such a joy to watch! I also love the fact that they are both so graceful and feminine and that they are expressing that side of their personality on their social media but at the same time are not afraid to be the toughest, most intimidating fighters there are 😂 this says a lot about 1) how silly it is to try and make people fit into boxes, and 2) how hard-wired it is for us in this society to judge people by their looks and then be surprised when we see that stereotypes are just meaningless. What a lesson ❣️🔥
I truly enjoyed how you spoke about anger and training. I feel physical movement is my biggest help when anger is present. The best fuel there is for me.
I love that you do these. It can be intimidating to see you training and thinking you are just naturally amazing at everything, and clearly all of your training makes you more capable of doing these cross training sessions, but seeing you struggle some, makes me remember that it ALL takes a ton of hard work, and natural ability is a tiny portion of success. So thank you for being willing to not look like an expert at everything and laughing at yourself. You are truly inspiring!
As someone who played Taekwondo, your intro made me crack I missed you so much, I was binging your 24-hour marathon video the other day!!! Lot of love xx
I love this so much. Thank you for taking us along and showing these amazing behind the scenes training moments with all kinds of different athletes. It was so awesome to watch Ana and you together!
Your content is so fun, entertaining and informative at the same time! You're one of my favourite UA-camrs, I've been following you for years and you never disappoint: you're always so genuine and creative, i love your approach to fitness and food (also because it helped me with my anorexia). I really can't put into words how much I wish to meet you to give you a huge hug and to thank you for all you're done for me without even knowing it. Thank you Natacha, you're such a gift and a good energy! Love ya 🥺🥺❤️
You've got a natural knack for the sport! The most impressive part was the sparring, amazing control and precision by Ana to give you a good feel for it without causing injury.
Yeah totally, she was absolutely perfect and protected me while also giving me a full intro to the speed and fitness it takes! She’s honestly such a champion 🥇🥇🥇
Oh my, up until now I admired your approach of the body, the mind/spirit and knowledge. You inspired me and pointed me the way back to the gym. But this taekwondo adventure, as a former martial artist (karate) made me absolutely adore you! You jumped into this in such high spirit with an unerasable smile and take instructions so well. I saw a lot of beginners in several areas but you are the best I encountered (although digital). More of these please 😍
Thank you Natacha for making this video for us who mostly know a little to this sport! It is such a delight to see you go interacting and introducing how different sports are trained and their relative gym sessions are like. Your videos are just too motivating and nice to watch, my mood literally improved by watching these during the dooming workday. Support and so glad you are happy now!!❤
Natacha...I don’t know how you do it! You have so much enthusiasm and drive for everything you put your attention to. I’m sure you weren’t supposed to be that good but hey, you’re pretty much on athlete level alll the time anyhow so why would be surprised?! Lol! Ana’s strength and agility was intimidating just watching, I can’t lie. My gosh, the power in her kicks! Thank you once again for all that you share with us. Love this platform. Lots of love to you xoxo
It is so much fun watching you do something new and be a beginner at something! I feel like it’s so east to look at these picturesque fitness influencers and think they’re amazing at everything always, so it’s inspiring to watch your curiosity and growth!
Thank you so much Natasha! This is so interesting! It’s be so cool to see you train with athletes from other sports in the future! Especially water sports!
My takeaway is, body awareness and good form in training carries over to other sports and activities.. Natacha jumped in and kept up with an Olympian :3 Great sesh!
This is incredibly inspiring! and I can’t say enough good things about you and your channel tbh. I love these videos of watching you try something new, meeting incredible athletes, us getting to learn more about a sport and how dedicated and amazing these athletes are! Bloody awesome 👏
Everything about you and your videos either put a smile on my face or makes me bawl my eyes out. I love your energy and your approach to life and challenges! This was such a great video!!
You and these videos have changed my life - changed my approach to health & fitness. I was burnt out about a year ago and lost my love entirely for fitness/sport. These videos have helped me loosen up and enjoy the journey again. 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
hey Monica, I'm sorry to hear you felt that way, burn out has its ways of making you feel numb to many things you used to enjoy ): I hope you've managed to recover a little, I know it took me a good year or so to recover from burn out but it happened and I wish that for you too!! Sending you so much love always!! xxx
Oh my gosh I’m so excited for this this brings back memories of my brother taking classes when he was younger. I remember these exact exercises he used to do. It’s so nice to see you having fun
@@victoriagregoire567 totally, and I can really see how they become engrained in you and become pure muscle memory but I couldn't remember all the cues 😂
I love to see how normal even olympic athleths are. It always feels like they are so much above just normal people and this shows that everyone can try it.
i think the last part of the video is so interesting -- how the strength and conditioning training is different based on athletic goals. its refreshing to see sports training where you train to have certain athletic capabilities (speed, power, agility while kicking) rather than a certain body aesthetic or simply being able to lift heavy
I really like this series where you train with some Olympic champions. We get to know such incredible athletes and also sports that are not often showcased.
It is just amazing how you can make everyone’s day better, just by watching a video, you are truly unique! Thank you Natacha, love you!! Keep being you 🙏🏽❤️
honestly I've noticed such a pattern that the people who tend to be the record breakers and world champions are the most humble of the athletes I meet and really have an amazing perspective. instead of arrogance which might come from doing ridiculous things, there's a deep love for the sport and for wanting to be a part of something bigger and it's so inspiring 👏
This was SO MUCH FUN to watch!! I love that you continue to show yourself trying things out that you're not an expert in (though of course it's intimidating that you're so diversely athletic)... God now I can't wait to try something new and trust the strength I have rather than skip it because I'll be "bad" at it!

@@natachaoceane getting there… xD your content definitely helps though !
my thoughts too!
@@natachaoceane Fitness definitely is a good basis. BUT there is also some talent while others take much longer to get the techniques right at even younger age you were a fast learner and that is very helpful in any sport. And in my opinion that is a gift you either have or you do not.the details then are the hard work. Just remember how fast the other two were in that one leg raise. You got it right how to move but the speed is the type of training for the muscles they did plus some genetics because fast twitch fibres are individually different between people in amount by birth and people long thought that the slow ones cannot be converted into fast ones which was proven wrong during the pademic so this is fresh news and hope for some people.
It's so humbling to see you not be "the best" but it's really just a testament to your strength and personality that you're able to train with some of the best in the world!

Your athleticism is honestly so impressive! You picked that up so quickly 👏

This girl IS A BEAST!!! Love how motivated and semi-scary she is lmao
Yeah she’s a freaking badass, I love seeing her go!!!
Anastasijia is a wonderful athlete, you should see her on the day!
I think she is weird. Like she likes seeing the blood of her opponents??
What I love most about you is that you don’t hold yourself back from trying new things and you don’t get embarrassed when you’re not amazing right away. It’s something I’m really bad at and you inspire me to work on it ❤️
It's the same for me and I totally feel how it's getting in the way of me getting better at stuff because I'm too embarrassed to try and get discouraged quite easily if my progress is slow.

It’s crazy that this was your first try, they’re not exaggerating, you look like you’ve done it before. I’ve trained around elite TKD athletes for the past 6 years and I second this! 👆
Quite literally THE best health and fitness youtuber out there. You are so great at everything you do and have helped me immensely. I used to over eat every single day. I'm still on my weightloss and health journey but you've made things easier for me by sharing factual information so I don't have to guess what is the correct way to lose weight or exercise. You're amazing I really appreciate how genuine you are
I dream of being as well-rounded as Natacha! Literally so genuine and talented! She’s proof dedication and passion gets you places
This actually made me cry. You two are incredible rolemodels. Making movement about fun, friendship, confidence and so much more. Makes my inner young girl's heart sing.
just today I was thinking how badly I want a new video, and here it is! I really love your chemistry with the female athletes you invite in your videos. I am so fascinated by all women in sports, especially professional. I live in Ukraine, and there is currently a war here, and your videos help distract me mentally and motivate me to work out (I work out at home for a little over a month). I will look forward to your new videos, you are absolutely sweet and nice person, thank you for your channel and everything you do ❤️
hey beautiful! wow this was such a kind, thoughtful comment. thank you. I am really lucky that so many of these insane athletes are just great people too and it's so easy to make friends with them, and it's an honour to get to share some of their behind the scenes.
more importantly, I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. I hope you know that you have so much support from around the world and that the resilience and strength you're showing is inspiring. you're incredible and thank you for everything ❤🔥
I absolutely LOVED this video! I trained in taekwondo for the majority of my life and this is the type of population I hope to target with my physical therapist assistant degree. So neat to see you guys train together, Ana is so genuine you can just tell.
Seriously, your joy for learning and growing is contagious Natacha. It’s so clear in the glow of everyone around you how much care you take in how you present the sport. You’re so respectful and so inevitably you earn their respect in this way. I love this episode ❤
seeing the sport specific warm up/training/techniques is so cool! this series, if it can be called that, is amazing, makes you appreciate the hard work and athleticism of everyone included even more.
also "it's just a nose, you don't kick with it" 😳
I just had the biggest smile on my face when I got this notif! You always inspire me, but I think I’ll be even more inspired seeing you learn self defense ❤️ thanks for being an amazing role model!
ahh thank you Shani!! I think I need to practice some more tbh, right now it's looking quite easy to take me down 😂😂😂
The fight had me cracking up honestly lol you are so adorable 😂 Love watching you challenge yourself with new activities. Another great video!
ahh thank you so much Maddie!! I really tried but she's actually incredible - I can confirm she's the champion 😂😂😂
Every time I see a new video of yours it makes my day.
I couldn’t possibly express how much you’ve impacted my life, I used to be consumed by trying to be “healthy” by being incredibly restrictive.
Now I’ve just finished my daily proper (ie safe and moderate) training for my second 10k, I’m making pancakes and settling down to watch this.
Couldn’t imagine I’d be comfortable eating pancakes and not running to the point of exhaustion, but here we are 💞
hey Skye (: I'm super proud of you for where you've come to! It takes a lot of work getting to this place from where you were but you made that happen for yourself and I hope you give yourself the credit for that every day (: It's dinner time here for me and now I\m craving pancakes tbh 😂😂😂 All my love!! xx
Wow that intro was a kick in the face... hehehe. So glad you had fun! And it's just what I needed. I've got what I needed from weight lifting and now I'm really looking to find more freedom in my body, moving it in new ways, espcecially ways I can use in real life
I'm so glad to hear that Michaela, have you got any thoughts on what you'd like to try?! I'm rooting for you all the way!! All my love! xxx
@@natachaoceane im making time to try fun things - I just found a place near me that does actual swordfighting with armor. How crazy is that! gym is just twice a week now, prioritizing calisthenics. And now I have more time to run again (and sprint, my fav), along with flexibility (while watching tv, one of your suggestions!). Thanks for keeping it fresh, from this to just new moves in a workout😎. It rubs off on us!
I hope you get the opportunity to keep training with more incredible athletes, it's so fun and inspiring to watch! This sport is so cool and I will definitely be following it at the next olympics!
Oh my god, I think I laughed harder than I should've 😂😂. You're the best, Natacha!!
I honestly couldn't stop laughing when I rewatched the footage 😂😂😂 I didn't stand a chance 😂😂
You are so bubbly, so much fun to watch, and you make everything look like a great time! I seriously appreciate your videos showing powerful female athletes and trying out their sports, especially since it shows young girls around the world more sport options they can pursue and some of what it includes. You are really inspiring to me and I always have a smile plastered on my face while I watch your content 😊 thank you for the joy you brought me today!
This was such a cool video! Loved it!
The whole time I was impressed by how well you kept up with her, but 6:04 made me laugh. It’s insane how fast they are, leaving you behind 😂
I would love to see more of these videos.
I'm a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor but when I started I was sooo awful, for like months, years even maybe. I would really love to see you try BJJ , I'm pretty sure you would be surprisingly great and you would put us all to shame. You have such a positive attitude and you never give up, I would love to see you try out my sport. Btw, I've used your training guides multiple times in my strength training routine (mostly cut) to prepare for competitions. Love your work and your channel, you always cheer me up!💜💜💜
Yes! Gracie Jiu-Jitsu/Gracie Barra!
You, Natasha, are a walking bundle of joy and your energy is contagious
your videos are always so inspiring, Natacha! I tend to stick to the same old, same old with my training but your videos remind me that it’s just as important to have fun and PLAY 💖
play time is always the best time!! Or the most fun at least but those core gym moves make their way into every athletes programme too so you're mostly there!! (: xxxx
I love it! As a Korean, I am so proud of you(너가 정말 자랑스러워), Natacha! Your 발차기(kicks), 기합(vocal) are perfect! Your shoulders look so strong and straight up. I just want to say that you inspire me to become stronger, and you with the Taekwondo is a signal to me to work harder! I had a PAO (Periacetabular Osteotomy) and femoral correction surgery due to hip dysplasia exactly 1 year ago. It was more difficult than I expected to recover, and I am still recovering. I can now run with a slow pace. I know that you also had to stop training for a year due to back injury, but hey, Your RESILIENCE just SHINES! I hope I can become stronger, even stronger than before like you, so that I can hike 7,000 meter (Mt. Lenin, for example). Please keep exploring, I will support you and get motivated by you! Loves, Su
These videos training with Olympic medalists have been so fun! You're someone who I consider SO fit so it's wild to see how well trained these Athletes are (and they've been such lovely people to get to know!)
I used to do taekwondo in middle school. I wasn't that bad but I didn't have friends so I stopped. It's so inspiring to see Ana enjoying taekwondo, I really want to feel that too!
Thanks for the high quality mini documentary with the Olympic Champion :)
I learned a lot especially in the training session, you and ana discussed about the trade-off between musle mass and speed/agility. Definitely solved the mystery of not-so-toned look of martial art pratitioners.
I LOVE those kinda videos of you trying different sports and training with different athletes! Everything about you, your energy and the people you choose to introduce us to is so inspiring. Keep it up Natacha
I adored this! I fought for 13 years in TKD and taught for 10. You have tremendous talent for you first time. This was so entertaining. Thanks!
This was such a cool episode. Ana seems so humble and badass simultaneously. Love how you got to know each other a bit and how good the questions you asked were. Maybe you could meet with other athletes and just kinda vibe with them like you did here in the future, like a series. Oh and it’s gotta be said: Ana’s kick is higher than my self-esteem 😂 Really impressive!
My 9-year-old does Taekwondo and this is not an easy sport to do! Love watching you humble yourself with things outside of your comfort zone while also showing how a sport can demand different body compositions and strengths to cater to that activity. Thanks for a fun video!
Hi Natacha! It's so cool to see how you're training with these amazing athletes and how they're sharing so much with you! Also the way you easily pick up those techniques; so impressive! Keep up the amazing videos :)
hey beautiful! that's so sweet, thank you so much for saying! 🙈 I guess I kinda have some cheat codes in learning from the best, so I give them a lot of the credit!! I hope your workouts are making you really happy and full of confidence! big hugs Sarah❤🔥❤🔥
I've noticed how champions really have a different way of thinking. Like they're very dedicated to themselves and truly focuses on their workout.
I love the editing. Also last time I watched this video I hadn't done Taekwondo but now watching this again, I've been doing it for 2 months and it's pretty cool seeing that we use similar drills to this video.
The intro itself tells you this is gonna be intense! I’m so proud of you natacha to see how far you have come!! This inspires me to one day take the leap and try something new with my workouts
yeeeeaaa so so happy to read that! I really hope you do and I hope you find so many things you love and that make moving so exciting! all my love always! stay smiley ❤🔥
I haven’t even watched the video yet but I want to say - I love you Natacha! You helped me develop a healthy mindset towards my own body and self image. Every time I walk around London, I wish I see you somewhere so I can run towards you and hug you haha ❤️ Thank you for bringing the best content to all of us and for continuously fighting against crazy diets, overexercising, BS companies and their fake products. We love you so much! Aaaaw I just want to be your best friend 🥰 …and now let’s watch the video ✨
omg the fact that you were in charlotte and i didnt run into you makes me sooooo sad but this video is SOOOO FUN. I did mixed martial arts for my entire childhood and this brings back so many amazing memories. Always love new content from you!!
Natacha can you do a video on poor posture and how to fix it? I looked a lot into the topic but have found a fix yet and your videos always are backed up with good references and are easy to understand
I legitimately have to force the big teethy smile from my face because my jaw starts aching on a regular basis when watching your videos, Natacha. You just are a bliss and I am so grateful for you.
As a taekwondo athlete this was such a fun video! I haven't been able to train as I has an ACL and meniscus repair, so this gave me so much FOMO! I sat smiling and giggling the whole video throughout! Please consider taking up taekwondo! You're so naturally talented at it!
hey Christél 🥰 wow I hope your recovery goes super well! I can't wait for you to be back into it and loving the feeling again. I actually have started looking into if there are lessons near me, I really want to pick up a new sport so you never know. All my love!
I loved this video, Natacha! A different style to your usual videos but still amazing as always. I would love to see more videos of you training with Olympic athletes :) your vibe is so radiant throughout the entire video :)
Getting into your first fight even with pads is a huge mental step. Good on you for genuinely making an effort in it.
These are some of the most unique videos on UA-cam. It’s cool to learn about some of the best female athletes in the world and their sports. And see the comparison to a newbie. Love love love!
This is such a great, high quality, inspiring video. More of this please!! 🙏 I also live how naturally talented and athletic Natacha is at pretty much everything she tries. What a dream!!
Hi Natacha! Is this going to be a series cause I am loving this! Ana and Nevin’s videos were so original and so much fun to watch! Please do more of this it’s brilliant!
I love this kind of content, seeing you train with different athletes and finding the differences and similarities in you trainings is charming. Also, i love the attitude everyone has in this video, it was legit so fun to watch!
I was taking a shower but natacha's notification popped up so I had to rinse my hands from the shampoo and comment to let you know that this video sounds like a lot of fun lol
hahah you're amazing, I hope you know you're really appreciated. go enjoy that shower and I'll see you when you're done 💃
I loved Ana and Faith, they’re both such a joy to watch! I also love the fact that they are both so graceful and feminine and that they are expressing that side of their personality on their social media but at the same time are not afraid to be the toughest, most intimidating fighters there are 😂 this says a lot about 1) how silly it is to try and make people fit into boxes, and 2) how hard-wired it is for us in this society to judge people by their looks and then be surprised when we see that stereotypes are just meaningless. What a lesson ❣️🔥
this video filled me with so much joy! Both girls were so sincere and were obviously having so much fun together
I truly enjoyed how you spoke about anger and training. I feel physical movement is my biggest help when anger is present. The best fuel there is for me.
I love that you do these. It can be intimidating to see you training and thinking you are just naturally amazing at everything, and clearly all of your training makes you more capable of doing these cross training sessions, but seeing you struggle some, makes me remember that it ALL takes a ton of hard work, and natural ability is a tiny portion of success. So thank you for being willing to not look like an expert at everything and laughing at yourself. You are truly inspiring!
wow, Ana has a killer instinct!! amazing to see that kind of mindset
Yeah totally!! She is so switched on and sharp, and doesn’t hesitate. Honestly so awesome to see up close, I’m really happy you got to see it too! 🙏🙏
just what i needed today!! ❤ thanks for always brightening my day, natacha 💫
any time, I hope laughing at me helps lift your day a little ❤🔥
Love this series. It's so wonderful how you show fitness in all its lovely forms.
I love this series with the olympic champions!
As someone who played Taekwondo, your intro made me crack
I missed you so much, I was binging your 24-hour marathon video the other day!!!
Lot of love xx
I love this so much. Thank you for taking us along and showing these amazing behind the scenes training moments with all kinds of different athletes. It was so awesome to watch Ana and you together!
Your content is so fun, entertaining and informative at the same time! You're one of my favourite UA-camrs, I've been following you for years and you never disappoint: you're always so genuine and creative, i love your approach to fitness and food (also because it helped me with my anorexia). I really can't put into words how much I wish to meet you to give you a huge hug and to thank you for all you're done for me without even knowing it. Thank you Natacha, you're such a gift and a good energy! Love ya 🥺🥺❤️
Even when you get beat up, it's inspiring! Love you Natasha! Have a good day!
I love this girl, so genuine. Keep rocking it Nat
You've got a natural knack for the sport! The most impressive part was the sparring, amazing control and precision by Ana to give you a good feel for it without causing injury.
Yeah totally, she was absolutely perfect and protected me while also giving me a full intro to the speed and fitness it takes! She’s honestly such a champion 🥇🥇🥇
This was just adorable and inspiring. What a combo and a delight!
Oh my, up until now I admired your approach of the body, the mind/spirit and knowledge. You inspired me and pointed me the way back to the gym. But this taekwondo adventure, as a former martial artist (karate) made me absolutely adore you! You jumped into this in such high spirit with an unerasable smile and take instructions so well. I saw a lot of beginners in several areas but you are the best I encountered (although digital). More of these please 😍
This was so incredibly fun to watch! I second a "Training with _______" series!
Great video featuring two people who seemed to really enjoy themselves. Ana is awesome!!!
Thank you Natacha for making this video for us who mostly know a little to this sport! It is such a delight to see you go interacting and introducing how different sports are trained and their relative gym sessions are like. Your videos are just too motivating and nice to watch, my mood literally improved by watching these during the dooming workday. Support and so glad you are happy now!!❤
Natacha...I don’t know how you do it! You have so much enthusiasm and drive for everything you put your attention to. I’m sure you weren’t supposed to be that good but hey, you’re pretty much on athlete level alll the time anyhow so why would be surprised?! Lol!
Ana’s strength and agility was intimidating just watching, I can’t lie. My gosh, the power in her kicks!
Thank you once again for all that you share with us. Love this platform. Lots of love to you xoxo
It is so much fun watching you do something new and be a beginner at something! I feel like it’s so east to look at these picturesque fitness influencers and think they’re amazing at everything always, so it’s inspiring to watch your curiosity and growth!
Thank you so much Natasha! This is so interesting! It’s be so cool to see you train with athletes from other sports in the future! Especially water sports!
My takeaway is, body awareness and good form in training carries over to other sports and activities.. Natacha jumped in and kept up with an Olympian :3 Great sesh!
Natacha doesn't do the beginner level. As soon as she starts something new she's already intermediate. I'm very impressed.
This is incredibly inspiring! and I can’t say enough good things about you and your channel tbh. I love these videos of watching you try something new, meeting incredible athletes, us getting to learn more about a sport and how dedicated and amazing these athletes are! Bloody awesome 👏
Everything about you and your videos either put a smile on my face or makes me bawl my eyes out. I love your energy and your approach to life and challenges! This was such a great video!!
your attitude is just the greatest, so infectious! ana is a legend also. really fun to watch
Your videos are so inspiring Natacha! I love watching you try new things and go outside of your comfort zone! You are so motivating girl! 😍💪🏻💞
You and these videos have changed my life - changed my approach to health & fitness. I was burnt out about a year ago and lost my love entirely for fitness/sport. These videos have helped me loosen up and enjoy the journey again. 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
hey Monica, I'm sorry to hear you felt that way, burn out has its ways of making you feel numb to many things you used to enjoy ): I hope you've managed to recover a little, I know it took me a good year or so to recover from burn out but it happened and I wish that for you too!! Sending you so much love always!! xxx
Man, from someone who has never done martial arts, it looked so fun to do taekwondo training!
Oh my gosh I’m so excited for this this brings back memories of my brother taking classes when he was younger. I remember these exact exercises he used to do. It’s so nice to see you having fun
no way!! those exercises are killer but so much fun, I couldn't take the smile off my face 😂😂😂
It’s so technical because every movement is very precise. It does look fun though I never tried holding his targets lol
@@victoriagregoire567 totally, and I can really see how they become engrained in you and become pure muscle memory but I couldn't remember all the cues 😂
I love to see how normal even olympic athleths are. It always feels like they are so much above just normal people and this shows that everyone can try it.
Literally when she kicks, her foot is a blur 😮 so amazing!!
that intro OMG! I love how every video of yours is the highlight of my day!
I love these series so much!!! They’re the best videos
it makes my heart happy that you love them as much as I do! thanks Kay 🤍
i think the last part of the video is so interesting -- how the strength and conditioning training is different based on athletic goals. its refreshing to see sports training where you train to have certain athletic capabilities (speed, power, agility while kicking) rather than a certain body aesthetic or simply being able to lift heavy
as a taekwondo athlete, this was such a fun video! loved everyone's attitudes!
Honestly everyone was amazing, I hope everyone gets to experience a vibe like this! I hope tkd makes you so happy!
I really like this series where you train with some Olympic champions. We get to know such incredible athletes and also sports that are not often showcased.
It is just amazing how you can make everyone’s day better, just by watching a video, you are truly unique! Thank you Natacha, love you!! Keep being you 🙏🏽❤️
I was laughing the first half so hard!!! You guys vibed so well with one another.
natacha always puts a smile on my face ^^ love that you try different things! so exciting. now my interest in tkd has been reinvigorated haha
yeaaaaah your interest in Tkd?! I'm loving that, I hope you throw yourself into whatever feels good to you! all my love 🕺💃
Lovely video as always!! It's amazing how humble and hard working the olympians are! Really inspiring!
honestly I've noticed such a pattern that the people who tend to be the record breakers and world champions are the most humble of the athletes I meet and really have an amazing perspective. instead of arrogance which might come from doing ridiculous things, there's a deep love for the sport and for wanting to be a part of something bigger and it's so inspiring 👏
This was SO MUCH FUN to watch!! I love that you continue to show yourself trying things out that you're not an expert in (though of course it's intimidating that you're so diversely athletic)... God now I can't wait to try something new and trust the strength I have rather than skip it because I'll be "bad" at it!
