[@chiragshah5529]

[@gayatrirevankar9520]

BeerBiceps you are just amazing​ Ranveer 😍 hats off! This video is totally the need of an hour..!! 😎👌👌

[@rachitabahmani3938]

BeerBiceps I totally agree with you cardio and weight training both are very important in a routine

[@mugdhajajoo2662]

made his mom go to gym. #respect

[@tishabhatia7597]

I am a mum of two. A Personal Trainer in a gym with being the only Female trainer as compared to my 10 male trainer colleagues. Winner of a Squat challenge , competing with 20 guys. I am proud of myself I chose this path. My children know the importance of good health. Ladies please hit the gym , you will realise importance of weight training only when you grow old. And you will look back and thank yourself . Good luck Ladies.

[@sweetypiefish]

well said. thnx girl.

[@braveimposter]

Your story inspired me.

[@debmandal7420]

Indian female here, I have been weight training for the past 3years now. I am a thin person with muscles in places where I want them to be, when Indian people look at me, they think I am weak and comment on how I should be eating properly (by their proper eating they mean I should stuff my myself with pakoras and curry). In reality though when we were moving houses I was lifting all our 55 heavy boxes from one room to the other (each boxes weighed around 25-35kgs approx some boxes were more than this). Speaking from experience, weight training makes you stronger and burns fat even when you are not training. However you can outrun a bad diet, you gotta control that. Additionally I am also a runner and play hockey. It helps with these two too. Thanks Ranveer for this talk. India needs to get over the whole 'girls' weight training stigma.

[@Frag_Limit]

Deb Mandal did you take protein supplies too?

[@UtkarshiniRai]

Same for me. My family thinks I'm malnourishing myself when in reality I'm eating very nutritious food and can feel the increase in strength.

[@gauravugale532]

Deb Mandal thin is good.i love it.. just be healthy

[@partyhardwithme]

Congratulations, I believe woman who want to do muscle training, does not only have to surpass their own mental resistance to "doing something uncomfortable" but also, the societal judgement that you are doing something you should not. It's an uphill battle, so again congratulations on your strong mind, the most important "muscle" :)

[@chiara6942]

Omg me too I'm 17 and I also do strength training but not more than hiit( bodyweight) and cardio I can able to do 100 Burpees with 3 times rest in between and some ppl like hw cm?, don't do that it's not girl thing🙄. I literally run for hourse and I feel so good and strong after working out

[@VirgoLunaKnight]

my mom is my gym buddy. 😊

[@archanasingh457]

[@prithviraj6529]

u do curls with ur mom?

[@VirgoLunaKnight]

I don't know why you are asking about curls specifically.... we follow a 3 day split back biceps chest shoulder triceps legs cardio and abs in the days between

[@bhumikagupta1268]

His fashion sense has really evolved.. from hairstyle to clothes.. the best part is the way he says 'mumma'. So lovingly. ❤️

[@suhasinikamlam170]

I accidentally clicked on this video, i guess I should really really thank my luck. Every single word holds so true in a woman's day to day life. I was doing functional training for past couple of years and then stopped it completely after I marriage, which has resulted in mood swings, incompleteness and lack of discipline. after watching this video , i so wanna wear my track pants and hit the gym, right away. thank you !!!

[@rozyr3711]

Suhasini Kamlam that's not good at all. i got married some months ago and had to stop training midst moving and all the indian wedding drama but i started losing my confidence very fast and now I'm back on track. my body might not have changed much but my mind did.

[@suhasinikamlam170]

Jia Talwar , i totally agree with you, i am planning to resume my Hiit training starting July. let's hope for the best.

[@themachine4476]

Did you started your training? It's been more than 2 years since you commented! Are you still going to the gym?

[@stringomyelin]

"Every single indian house needs a voice like that" TRUE AF

[@commandresswhiplash98]

So I've been going to MMA classes and it's only been a month or so, and I'm the only woman there. In the span of just one month I noticed changes in me. I was suffering from severe brain fog and overthinking, I couldn't look someone in the eye and talk to them. I had several issues; but I slowly realised the importance of discipline and started getting my act together. I started feeling better mentally and I'm still going on. I can't wait to see my final transformation. This video was very informative btw, I'll include more protein and iron. Thanks a lot ranveer

[@ankitbisw]

i opened the video because i thought its standup comedy, and i end up getting so pumped up and inspired

[@shreyodebnath2813]

Me too.

[@oycry3950]

😃😃😃😃

[@oycry3950]

Me too

[@BCBharts]

I am a 46 year old woman and started weight training 2 years back. I haven't been fitter in my life. I had the same incorrect notion that if I lift weights I will bulk up - that is such a myth. Haven't tried protein shakes yet but may try that too. However, I have not given up on my chocolates or other desserts as I have a sweet tooth. Yes a balanced diet is a must but if you have a good exercise regime, one doesn't need to give up on desserts but don't gorge on them :)

[@yadavapurva]

BCBharts tremendous 😍

[@preronaghosh3654]

He is a stellar champ. It is women who need to be fitter. Ranveer u have got an Infectious smile.

[@anirudhapaul4956]

thnx ranveer...love u loads...u speak so well...I can't explain my mom this way...will make her watch this for sure

[@gauravclient]

How many of you guys speaking against protein rich diet are daily hitting the gym and putting the load on your muscles? How do you think body is going to recover and repair the tear down happened to the muscle during workout? How are you going to build lean mass without protein rich diet?

[@The-Celestial]

@RapistAndFalse ProphetMuhammed do you eat grass and branches like them too?

[@ka9133]

Thanks bro i am also going to gym next week my mum is also like your mun before. Now i am feeling more confident to join gym

[@shriswamiramanand]

As a physician I should clarify, Above advice about fitness for all especially women is very much needed, but Medical science disagrees about high protein western diet concept , for more info watch plant pure nation and China study ... good awareness videos.

[@abhithakral1604]

What kind of a diet does medical science support? If not a high protein diet, may be a fully balanced one ?

[@jannysingh5623]

Milind Joshi I agree with your point of you Fitness doesn't not matter in a healthy diet ......... .

I am very lucky that my son takes me with him at least 5 to 6 days in a week. I reduce my weight from 82 ks to 64kgs. it has been only 8 months. My strength also increased. I do deadlift 35 each. I am 47 years of age and I am in my best of my physical and mental health. I thank my son for that. And yes I do that Whey protein and other supplements for my workout

[@Vivi_j]

That's so cool. I feel so proud of your achievement. I hope you have continued. I also hope one day I too can brag to be fitter and better than what I am right now.

It is astonishing how he is a mirror image of Alia Bhatt; not just in looks but also in mannerisms.

I have been listening to you for quite a long time and you have started amazing me 😘. This video was outstanding much needed for indian women. Even i used to play basketball in my school days as I started my college life i left almost all the physical activities that i used to do and then i always wondered what has happened to me I have become lazy other than that i have seen my will power go down my ambitions go down and i found myself on a tract which lead me to complete destruction of my life. But now as i have understood the importance of physical fitness I am trying my best to become more fit day by day. Thank you soo much for this video ❤️. And a simple thing i wanted to add "In a healthy body resides a healthy mind" even toppers need to be fit these days to top.

[@Vivi_j]

I hope you have started your journey to be a fitter version of you. All the best girl. Go for it

[@jaindharmmotivationalvideo7570]

Yes ryt he says about pcos ...i hv also faced this problem in my lyf...now m fine After doing exercise... If u really want to be concure by pcod then do exercise.. Hit if u like this give me like..

I m so proud of this video...thnks it's done by an Indian..... such a thoughtful n aware topic from u ... kudos!!!

[@kartikchauhan5498]

Would've helped more if the talk was in Hindi...I can't translate every word to my mum with the same enthusiasm this guy said. Not criticizing the video, but it's targeting women who can't speak or understand English very well.

[@zed9642]

Thank you so much for this Ranveer! This is so inspiring. I agree with everything you said. I’ve been on and off fitness a lot these past 3 years. But I’ve noticed a definite change in my life. Working out (including strength training) has made me a lot happier in general, got me out of depression, and has taught me to set boundaries for things that aren’t good for me. I try to encourage everyone who’s close to me to start working out. And I’m so glad you’re reaching out to thousands of people who really need to learn all of this.

[@kartikeyaawasthi7161]

Bhai you are too good... Thanks for the inspiration..

[@rikitadsouza9822]

Completely agree with you! I am a 21 year old been going to the gym for about a year and a half and i love the benefits i am seeing. I probably havent acheived my fitness goals yet however the mental peace that comes with weight training and regular exercise is totally worth that one and a half hour i put in the gym. Also when you spoke about carbs being the center of an indian diet i could completely resonate as my family loves to eat a lot of carbs however i try my best to refrain and stick to my proteins. Cheers to @beerbiceps for this amazing talk! Much love :)

[@ajadsoni3763]

I like your expression and I love your intentions. Thanks for equality.

I would like a day when a woman is giving this talk. Someone who has actually been through it, for example, his mother would have been a better speaker and could have resonated with a wider audience.

Hi I don't know you but randomly your video played on my screen. I'm so glad that you hear me. I'm a mum of 3 grown up kids and I need help for myself. I'm not getting what I'm looking for. Your Tedx talk gave me hope, just knowing that someone can understand my pain and finally help me. How can I get in touch with you. Please I need help Please darling. You helped your mum there's another mum calling for help. Looking forward to hear from you

[@swagatasharma7598]

So girls from their teenaage years itself should start weight training? I'm 15. And I want to know how to be fit. And I want to weight train and have protein shakes.

[@dwirajesh]

for all negativity in this world and criticism for its own sake, this piece is inspirational with facts more and less in place. a piece by the biggest nutritionist in the world would also be debatable such is the dynamism of science itself... get inspired hit the gym lift weight lift yourself run on the tread mill make your life better !!

I do under stand everything and I too have strted it from 2 to 3 months.The people besides me always want to guide me for cardio as i ll gain weigh and will not loose AMD that profvs there are still unaware public all over the country. Although i ll continue this for my life time its a little bit difficult for me to get protein just coz m pure vegetarian i hope will be btr if you help me in this as I go to office n i have shifts so by making it easy n i should follow will wait for you to hlp me in this.

Plzz I request you to give this same talk on ted talks India powered by star plus..... It has bigger reach of course specially towards Indian middle class women. Seriously our India needs this.

[@alphacause]

Given how rampant diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions related to insulin resistance are among Indians, this message needs to be heard by all of them. Thank you for putting in the work to get this presentation out to the masses. All my fellow Indians should do the following to prevent, reverse, or at least ameliorate the aforementioned conditions: 1. Go on a low carb diet (look up videos by Dr. Timothy Noakes, Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, Dr. Stephen Phinney, Dr. Jeff Volek, Dr. Peter Attia, and Gary Taubes concerning this topic) 2. Incorporate intermittent fasting (look up videos by Dr. Jason Fung concerning this topic) 3. Include some high intensity training, specifically related to resistance training, as part of your regular routine (look up videos by Dr. Doug Mcguff concerning this style of training). Indians are known to excel in academics and professional life - many times reaching the pinnacle of achievement in these areas. It is time we become known to be overachievers in the most important area of all - our own health. After all, all the academic credentials and success in business will not make us live longer or significantly contribute to the quality of our lives if our health is in ruins, and we have one foot in the grave.
