[@bigrayinba]

Will you be the next one to be inspired by a 2020 motivational video? I HOPE SO! I am working hard to get in better shape and be the best version of myself possible! YOU CAN DO IT TOO! #BeBiggest

[@kkbing777]

I'm really proud of you for wanting to be healthier!! My dad died really young from health issues. I miss him so much. Dawn Dawn deserves to have her sweet and loving dad on earth for as long as possible!! Great job BiggestRayRay!!!

[@bigrayinba]

Oh man! I am so sorry to hear that. Having Dawn is a huge motivation for me to want to be more healthy!

[@kkbing777]

@@bigrayinba Thank you. My dad was always smiling, and had a positive attitude. Just try to lose a little weight at a time. Don't be too hard on yourself. (Adam Sandler movie/Rob Schneider) You CAN do it!!

A family bike ride with the dogs when the weather is nice is great exercise.

[@colleenbeamer6403]

Congrats on trying to get healthy! Dawn-Dawn needs her Dad to be at his best! 👍😊

[@SuperValgal]

Great job Ray!

[@bigrayinba]

Thank you Lori! WOOT!

[@joansommerfield8419]

As usual, your enthusiasm shines through. Good for you on this as any kind of physical activity boosts mental health due to the release of endorphins. Also released penthouse stress. Great video, Ray. Loved it.....music not so much. 😋

[@bigrayinba]

Lifting is a GREAT stress reliever for sure! Thank you so much! I also saw your other comment! I don't have penthouse stress yet, but one day, when I've made it to the top, I'll find a way to cope and still #BeBiggest!

[@joansommerfield8419]

That is funny Ray. Maybe we all would look forward to penthouse stress. Chuckle.😋😋😋

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

I admire you Ray, for having the courage of your convictions to get healthier!! I’m still recovering from back surgery so I’m relegated to pool therapy/exercise only. However, you can get an equally effective workout in a pool and it is so much easier on my joints. I hope you continue to work with the trainers at your gym to keep you from using incorrect form, which can cause injury to your muscles and ligaments. Keep up the great work!! Wish me luck,and please tell me to get up off my butt and get to the pool today, ok?? I need all the help I can get!👍🏻

[@bubzilla6137]

I'm not Ray, but I can encourage you too! Good luck my, friend. I have faith in you! Your master, C. C., is also rooting for you!!! I assume that's CC in your profile pic- he/she is gorgeous!! Anyway, you got this!!!!!!!! Since you do it in a pool, this has even more meaning: JUST KEEP SWIMMING, JUST KEEP SWIMMING!!!! 🐟🐠🤗😻🤗😻💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🏊🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

Bub Zilla Thank you, my friend!! Yes, that is C.C. In my little icon. Unfortunately, she is no longer here except in spirit, my heart, and memories. 😿. She was, like all cats, a real beauty! Thank you again so much for the vote of confidence.

[@bubzilla6137]

@@OwnedByACatNamedC.C. Aww... I'm so sorry. I how my comment wasn't insensitive it triggering. Everything I said was genuine though- I do have faith in you and I know you got this. 💪💪💪🙂🙂🙂

[@bigrayinba]

GO GET IT! GET IN THE POOL AND DOMINATE THE WATER! GOOOOOOOOOOOO!! The only thing stopping you is you and I don't think you're going to get in your own way! WOOT!

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

Bub Zilla Thanks again, and it is no problem at all mentioning C.C. In fact, I love talking about her!😻👍🏻. I also love that “JUST KEEP SWIMMING!” 😁

[@lottynava5580]

Keep up the hard work! You truly inspire us to do better & be better 💙

[@SophiaNymph8]

Good luck with the workout . Getting healthy is hard work but in the long run it is worth it.

[@bigrayinba]

I agree! I'm looking forward to getting back down to my old weight!

[@AlbertTorcaso]

Very cool and great to see that you're taking care of yourself. My time to exercise. Al

[@bigrayinba]

Yes sir! Go for it man! It's tough to get started but at this point, I'm loving it man! It feels great and I look forward to the next work out!

[@AlbertTorcaso]

@@bigrayinba tell your two friends that it was very cool that each of you were encouraging each other and that is how we should do things in life.

[@bubzilla6137]

Go RayRay! This is your day! Great to see you so happy about making healthy decisions for yourself. Great video!!!!! 🤗💪🤗💪🤗💪🤗

[@bigrayinba]

Yes indeed! Thank you so much! It feel good to work out and have a positive impact on my body! I've abused it far too long!

[@cubbi2789]

Seems like we have the same plan this year, Ray. I want to join a fitness club soon. You are going to be an inspiration 🙏🙏👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👍👍

[@bigrayinba]

Go for it Ann! It's so worth it! Been at it about six weeks now. Recorded for the first time this past week. I think I'll be doing some more of these! YOU CAN DO IT!

[@katiem5286]

Awesome job and thanks for sharing your journey! I'm on a much-needed health journey this year and am going to a fitness boot camp 3 days a week. Just showing up regularly and taking those small steps over time will lead to big results! Best wishes to you in this, you can do it!

[@bigrayinba]

WTG Katie! Keep it up! It'll be so worth it!

[@withoutadoubt9091]

That’s awesome. Let the family know we say hello

[@bigrayinba]

Without a Doubt wifey says hi back!!

[@marshacunha]

Awesome dude 👍

[@ethellouise]

Congrats for taking control of your body. Not an easy process, but so worth all the effort in the end. Keep moving!

[@bigrayinba]

Yes indeed! thank you ethellouise!

[@lunkis3233]

Yes Its good to be healthy ❤️

[@bigrayinba]

You know it!!

[@The-T-Spot]

Awesome Ray!! Can't wait to see the Ripped Ray updates on all your social medias!!

[@bigrayinba]

Thank you! I gotta get ripped first! LOL . One day I will get there and I'll share appropriately!

[@The-T-Spot]

Hmmm maybe a weekly (or a couple times a month) Getting Ripped update then? Before and afters are cool, but a lot of people plateau and give up. The process and journey of getting ripped are just as inspiring and helpful. Either way, you got this!

[@KrisKelly1970]

Proud of you!

[@bigrayinba]

Thank you Kris!

[@fralinsandfriends]

Looks like you're doing great. I'm kind of restricted on my activity but I do walk laps back and forth the length between our living room and dining room and do sit ups on my firm mattress. I have COPD. I need to be much more routine with it. 😀👋

[@bigrayinba]

Hey doing what you can do it great! Keep working at it! WOOT! And thank you! :)

[@fralinsandfriends]

@@bigrayinba Thanks

[@KB-tg7pf]

I need to do this too

[@bigrayinba]

Go for it K B! You can do it! WOO HOO!

[@minermaker4628]

Great work bro!!

[@bigrayinba]

Thank you sir!

[@johnsonfamilyvidsvlogs3745]

Good job buddy💪🏽 I'd like to do stuff like that. But I'm to week. Gotta figure something out that will work.

[@johnsonfamilyvidsvlogs3745]

Good job bud.

[@ChefShamsher]

where was that part where said that you want to be like Chef Shamsher?

[@bigrayinba]

Saving that for another video!

[@ChefShamsher]

@@bigrayinba I love this though. Glad you're taking care of yourself and inspiring us all in the process.

[@bigrayinba]

@@ChefShamsher Thank you my friend!

[@lisah6804]

I lost 40 lbs on a ketogenic diet with no exercise. Perhaps try that as well, or maybe a paleo diet. Exercise is great for strength training, but food is a great factor in your health.

[@bigrayinba]

Absolutely! I've modified my diet a LOT in the last few years. I lost a few pounds just cutting back and making more and consistent healthy choices.

[@lisah6804]

@@bigrayinba thanks for responding! I'm glad you've made some changes in your diet. Keep it up! I have great faith in you. 💗

Good grief ..... this keyboard does weird things........that should read Pent up ......Not penthouse. How embarrassing 😞
