Hey, Julia! Just wanted to pop in and say I think you’d like FitnessBlender here on UA-cam. They have tons of great home workouts, and most only require a set of dumbbells. Good luck in your fitness journey!
Julia, been a fan for a while and I saw you literally 360 a few years ago which was truly amazing. I was with you on your first journey and I'll be here for this journey as well. You got this girl.
I highly recommend the keto diet, I have been following this diet for almost 8 months and I've lost 42 pounds with very little exercise. I had been struggling to lose weight for a long time until one of my co-workers told me about keto.
Yoga was my saving grace for back pain. If you are regular about it, it is a great workout but also supports better mobility. I feel you on the sweets, it really does almost border on an addiction. It is my goal to cut back and eat more whole foods, get my sweets from fruit.
Julia look into 80/20 rule. It’s not a diet it’s a way of life everything in moderation. You eat clean healthy food. Give yourself 20% the things you like as a treat.
My goal this year is baby steps - I don’t want to get too ambitious and then fail. My goals are no desserts on weeknights (like you, I eat fairly healthy but we have desserts every night 😬) and a once a week yoga class. Once it gets warmer I look forward to taking my dog on longer daily walks again - he is too small for long walks in the cold, unlike Odin, and I miss that half hour of walking every morning. Good luck with your goals! Your veggie-centric meals inspire me to try new vegetables and preparations!
I love when you post food videos, so I'm looking forward to that! You always have nice, simple recipes that taste amazing. A goal of mine this year is to be more consistent with my healthy eating and exercise because I tend to fall off for long periods too often.
I have a bad back and I do physical therapy exercises 5 days a week which involves free weights. This has drastically improved my back. I run 3 days a week and I can run without knee braces or back pain now. I went to physical therapy for 6 weeks and they told me if I can continue with this basically for the rest of my life I will have less back pain and they are so right. I am also building muscle in my arms and abdomen. I also get deep tissue massages once a month and that helps when I throw my back out and helps to reduce the amount of times my back spasms.
So excited for your Fit Fridays!!! Love you chica, you really motivate me to keep going on my own fitness journey :) Lately I've been struggling with it cause of my shoulder surgery a year ago, but seeing you back on here has just given me an extra boost of "you can do this!"
I started watching your videos from almost your beginning. I actually dont know you but just hope you find your way to feel good in your body, and dont be too hard to yourself. Changes start in your mind, start to feel yourself. I did crossfit for 2 years and stopped for many reasons (feeling that my body is not ready for such hard training, got injured on my shoulder from overtraining- i go to gym now) Hope you find your way that works best for you (yoga is great too)
I cannot recommend Yoga enough! It’s so good for back problems but it’s also helped me so much with anxiety and just feeling better mentally. Check out Yoga with Adriane here on UA-cam, she is great!
I suffer from chronic back pain too. Because of it I had to quit exercising couple of times last year, but I never stopped trying. I know this is not going to vanish fully but exercise really helps and I know how it feels to be in constant pain all the time. It really affect my day to day life, but I try to look at the brighter side of life. ☺️
I just started Keto and I’m feeling great and I didn’t think I could do it but it’s so easy and so much better food to eat ! I’m feeling my inflammation going away especially in my stomach areas and my mood is definitely more stable . Just sharing my experience and sending good vibes your way!
I miss your Fit Fridays so much! I'm recommiting myself to my over health too. It would be great to see your motivating videos too and we can all get healthier and happier as a community.
I'm going answer my own comment just because I cannot believe how related i feel to this story. I stopped gonig to my HIIT classes for about 4 months and just about his Monday I decided it was time to go back. I felt so bad and demotivated because of the same reasons you are mentioning. Thanks for sharing, I certainly feel inspired to go back and stop making excuses. Thanks a lot Julia.
Yeah, Fit Friday. I'm kind of taken aback by your gym experience. What kind of BS is that where they punish you for missing a class, a classic humiliation tactic. Listen to your body and do what's right for you, the last thing you want is an injury by an over-zealous trainer. My good friend has a rotator cuff injury because of a trainer pushing too hard, and it's a life-long affliction that effects range of motion. I go the the YMCA, you pay a monthly membership and all the classes are free. Not sure what you have in Switzerland. The two classes that I personally love are "yoga" and "belly dance". Yoga is so good for your body, mind and spirit -- the body just feels really amazing afterwards. "Belly dance" is such a blast, it's so fun and uplifting - good for toning your core muscles. I know these aren't as intense as weights, but I like to do something enjoyable too.
It’s to punish you for taking away a spot from people on the waiting list for the class. The classes book out and it’s not fair to be a no show if someone else wanted to go at that timeslot. You can cancel without repercussion up to 6 hrs before the class starts.
I feel you so much! What gets me exhausted sometimes is the pure thought that I will never be able to relax. Being fit and slim will always require work and focus. I wish it were a bit easier. How do you feel about that?
Can’t wait these videos! I’m with you on eating 2 meals a day, I started loosing weight when I started eating only twice a day. I prefer eating 2 proper portions rather than 5 smaller portions because then I’m not really satisfied.
Go, Julia, go! You can do it! And you are right, food is more important that exercise. Just try to skip alcohol and reduce the sweets (swap them for fruits or healthy snacks) and you'll see results. I also have back pain and can't run anymore. Now I get bad pain after walking 4km. The 10km runs are far gone :( But I'm doing fizyo, stretching for the back and yoga and that helps. I want to start swimming too.
Hey Julia, ich hatte selbst lange kronische Rückenschmerzen. Eine Ärztin hat mir, nach langen probieren verschiedenster Dinge, damals zu Pilates und Akupunktur geraten. Ich hielt das damals für einen absoluten Witz, da ich ALLES versucht habe (bis zu den stärksten Schmerzmittel). Doch bei mir hat das echt geholfen!!! Ich bin mir sicher, du hast bereits einen langen Weg hinter dir und ich weiß, was kronische Schmerzen mit einem machen können. Dies ist bloß ein Tipp und das gute ist, die Krankenkasse kommt einen meistens entgegen, wenn man solche Dinge wie Akupunktur probieren will. Ich hoffe, es ist auch etwas für dich und das es dir helfen kann. Es ist kein Wundermittel und absolut Schmerzfrei ist man daduch auch nicht zwangsläufig, aber es hilft. Viel erfolg auf deinem weiteren Weg!!
@@wa6184 Ich habe auch mehrere Sitzungen gebraucht und lasse mich auch noch immer alle paar Monate behandeln. Schön, dass es nicht nur bei mir funktioniert!
Did you try massages? Not the normal ones, whole body massages preferable thai massages. They look at the whole body not just one part and while the day after you feel so sore, it really helps on the long term.
I can totally relate!!! I’ve been doing CrossFit for over a year, but took 3 months off due to surgery. (Nothing injury/CF related.) This week was my first week back and I’ve noticed a big difference in my strength. It’s just not there, haha
I love this simple make up look but I don't see the products listed. Thank you for inspiring me to do some stretching exercises this morning to get the day started.
I also need the motivation of a class environment. I have good intentions to exercise on my own but that usually lasts for a day. I am also like you in that two meals a day without snacking works best for me. I am not hungry early in the morning.
I wish my only goal was health. You look so fresh and young, you ought to feel young too! Good luck with crossfit, we'll be showing our support from here. Lots of love
Have you ever tried a chiropractor for your back pain? I have fibromyalgia I understand how debilitating chronic pain can be. Chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture helps me so much. I hope you feel better.
Happy New Year Julia!! One quick comment on your lower back pain. Try to see if you can find a chiropractor in your area to get your spine checked. I went through the same process and after yoga, losing weight and getting more fit I still had the back pain..so I went to a friend's office and he found I had something on my back. After 3 months of back stretching with him the pain was gone. And I have the routine to do at home. It's similar to yoga. I hope this helps you!! ☺
Hi Julia, Have you tried the Keto Diet there is a doc on here called Ken Berry I lost 2 st on keto and i didnt put any significant weight on over xmas great video you look fantastic girl.
Hi Julia, I feel exactly like you, I've back pain (I've a hernia) and I want to loose weight. I'm very unmotivated, I love junk food and sweets and I don't have much time to do exercise. I don't know what to do. 😢
Hi Julia! I recommend hot yoga, it is so amazing. I had always put off trying it out as I worried the heat would be too much but after going regularly for the past 6 months I absolutely love it and prefer it to normal yoga. I would also recommend Boho Beautiful videos here on YT for home workouts, they're very effective. Love your videos, all the best from Sydney, Australia✌✌🙋🙋
You are such a lovely person! Like yourself I also enjoy cake and brie , and such. I've noticed that Intermittent fasting in combination with walking(I wear a weighted vest) and healthy cooking during the week and some sweets and cheeses in the weekend is working well! Please listen to your body, crossfit is rather intense...I can reccomend SeanVigueFitness for yoga/pilates and Bodyrock for some interval training. Have a great start of the new year! Greetings from Holland!
Ich guck das Video grad mit einem zornigen Rückenmuskelkater ^^ Ich glaube zu wissen was du meinst. Ich find mich auch nicht fürchterlich, aber es gibt einfach Klamotten die ich gern wieder anziehen würde. Und stärker werden ist immer praktisch, man muss ja schließlich Katzenstreu schleppen. Oder so^^
Ich ha vor anderhalb Johr durch Zuäfall Keto entdeckt und äs hett mir enorm ghulfä ... i ha 17kg verlorä in nün Mönät, ha keini Glüscht meh und d Entzündig im Chneu isch weg. Jetzt won i fettadaptiert bin chan i au Mol chli meh Cholähydrat ässe ohne dass i grad us dr Ketose ghei und ha s Gwicht in de letschtä nun Mönät guet chönnä halte.
Julia go off sugar for a while and see the difference. You will be surprised. You will feel different and loose weight faster. Also take a look at your thyroid levels. Are they at optimum levels ?
Hey, Julia! Just wanted to pop in and say I think you’d like FitnessBlender here on UA-cam. They have tons of great home workouts, and most only require a set of dumbbells. Good luck in your fitness journey!
Thanks for the tip!
Yay. I love fit Friday with you. I’m motivated too.
AWESOME!! Thanks for watching

Yeah I love Adriane!! Im trying yoga myself, its very effective.
I do yoga with Adrienne every day! 👍👍👍
Yes to Yoga with Adriane!
I was thinking of trying her videos, thanks!
Yeah!! Fit Friday Video! Mag deine Videos total und hoffe, es folgen bald noch mehr davon.

Thank! I do like to eat low carb too, maybe not quite as strict as Keto but low carb also works for me :)
I’m also getting back on track! You’ve got this! You’re doing great 👍
I miss your Fit Fridays so much! I'm recommiting myself to my over health too. It would be great to see your motivating videos too and we can all get healthier and happier as a community.

All that matters is getting back on that horse :)

i haven't watched much yet, but you look great- make-up, lighting, video quality. you might want to film some tutorials in that area/time of day.
I agree, less brighter lighting
Thanks haha it's at my kitchen table
let's stay healthy Julia! You can do this again! :D I'm with you in this journey as I am also in the same place as you are now.
I feel you so much! What gets me exhausted sometimes is the pure thought that I will never be able to relax. Being fit and slim will always require work and focus. I wish it were a bit easier. How do you feel about that?
Can’t wait these videos! I’m with you on eating 2 meals a day, I started loosing weight when I started eating only twice a day. I prefer eating 2 proper portions rather than 5 smaller portions because then I’m not really satisfied.
What I do find helpful is glucosamine sulfate to help increase mobility/ increase in activity when managing chronic back pain.
Go, Julia, go! You can do it! And you are right, food is more important that exercise. Just try to skip alcohol and reduce the sweets (swap them for fruits or healthy snacks) and you'll see results. I also have back pain and can't run anymore. Now I get bad pain after walking 4km. The 10km runs are far gone :( But I'm doing fizyo, stretching for the back and yoga and that helps.

try hip exercises for back pain. if the core exercises arent working. sometimes the hips arent strong enough to support the back.
I can totally relate!!! I’ve been doing CrossFit for over a year, but took 3 months off due to surgery. (Nothing injury/CF related.) This week was my first week back and I’ve noticed a big difference in my strength. It’s just not there, haha

Have you ever tried a chiropractor for your back pain? I have fibromyalgia I understand how debilitating chronic pain can be. Chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture helps me so much. I hope you feel better.
I haven't, but overall strength training really helps me :)
You're basically doing intermittent fasting! It's quite healing for inflammation and so many other issues
You look absolutely stunning - really radiant! Always a good when you post! :)
Yeyyyyy fit Friday :)
You are “preaching to the choir”! Love you, you ave read my mind. Bless you dear one.❤️😉🌲

I have you considered trying a hardcore anti inflammatory diet for 3 months to see if it helps with your back?
My back issues are “mechanical” so to speak so there’s not much that can be done against it besides muscle strength
I really love how honest and natural you are in your videos, and I find your videos rather useful. :*
8:48 wow that’s exactly my problem...I like to eat healthy but I also have a big sweet tooth especially with ice cream 🍨 ugh
God bless you

Check out fitplan app.it has lots of programs to choose from
Take some BCAAs for the muscle soreness. It works incredibly well and is good for muscle building.

Julia! Have u tried Ayurveda diet? It's a way of living and eating, very wealthy. I' ve start on november, it's great! Xx from Argentina!
Have u looked into keto?
You get to eat cheese! And lots of veggies are a must! Its helped me loose weight, cure inflammation and just feel healthier!
I have, and I do eat low carb to lose weight :)
Keto helped me too. I am off from metformin and it also remove my migraine and chronic lumbar and joint pain. I wish you luck
Julia go off sugar for a while and see the difference. You will be surprised. You will feel different and loose weight faster. Also take a look at your thyroid levels. Are they at optimum levels ?
