My name is Denys, and I am Boeing 737 Captain. Before I used to fly ATR 42/72.
I am making the videos on this Pilot Blog channel to encourage people all around the world to join our community.

[@5eant_]

You got this my friend. I weight lift every day with you when I watch your show, so you already been hitting the gym whether you know it or not!

[@TheKaidynB]

Good on you Denys! Where ever you are I hope you’re doing well

[@tasosponsetis1492]

From the surroundings I see in your video it must be a very beautiful place where you stay !!!!!! Congratulations my friend for finding such a neighborhood !!!!! It seems perfect for you and your family. 👍👍👍👍

[@rilmar2137]

105 kg was my starting weight, too - back in late May. In 5 months I went down to 87, still have another 10-15 to go but I feel much better. And fingers crossed that 5 months from now you'll also see some great progress!

[@betsy6202]

Denys!!!!!! How good 👍🔥!!!! Keep it up 💪💪......Nice that you include us in your program!!!!! I will continue to follow you ❤ Stay strong Denys!!!!! Xx.........

[@millonarioio6854]

Let's go Denys 💪💪💪

[@Joel-bi9np]

17:50 The first exercise was squats. The second exercise was bench press. The third exercise was a back pulldown. The exercises are usually named after the way you move your body.

[@nbaoldgirl]

Nice to see you back

[@hilobro408]

Welcome back captain! We all miss you so much

[@Kaj.S]

You doing good keep grinding miss ur Pilot Blog so much Have a great day stay safe Denys

[@CF_NeverForget]

Hi Denys, you are doing great! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Cinnamonet]

Best of luck on your way, Denys - you will do it! My (not asked for 😅) advice is to not necessarily eat less (as that will leave you inevitably hungry and grumpy and there is a risk of your metabolism going into "hunger mode", thus causing yoyo effect), but to shift ratios towards more veggies/fresh fruit, good/moderate portions of low fat proteins (lean meat/fish, low fat dairy) and small portions of carbs, preferably whole grain (pasta, rice) or low carb options of those like pasta made from lentils or peas. Boiled potatoes are good too. Just my two cents though, you'll know best how you want to go about it. 😊

[@bronzefanpage8256]

Keep going Denys! You got this, Captain! 😃

[@cruxiql]

You got this Denys! Keep pushing, best of luck my friend!!!

[@chrispj7185]

I’ve watched your channels for a long time and I’m inspired by your videos Denys. I plan to follow your plan and take the journey with you.

[@ElitistMagi]

Good seeing you Denis!

[@Franktilson]

You have inspired me to do the same!!! Never give up never surrender!

[@brianvickers8590]

I like seeing other parts of your life! Good luck getting fit!

[@emaildenis]

I'm with you my friend. Day 1. Lets go!

[@bv3bv334]

Simple solution to hunger pangs. Eat raw veg! As much as you like. Before long you will find yourself craving the stuff. Try it. Carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, whatever. The Church of Raw Veg. Good luck 👍

[@irenes.2807]

Bravo, Denys! It takes a lot of "guts" to put it all out there, but we know you'll achieve your goals! 🤭🥰🇺🇦🖖 Молодець!

[@av5301]

For breakfast, I used to eat oatmeal, but then I realized it has a lot of carbs. Now, we make chia pudding: Just get a glass jar and put about 1/3 chia seeds and fill the rest with a liquid like water or milk and put it in the refrigerator. You can keep it in the fridge for several days. Each morning, just consume a few spoonfuls.

[@Ayshel]

We are all with tou denysss !!!!!!

[@mphonakedi]

best wishes on ur upcoming journey i love u bro

[@NOTMESSI4]

We believe in you 🙌

[@olwenb72]

Best of luck Denys! I'm losing weight and getting healthier this year too, although in my case I have to concentrate more on nutrition and low carb and not so much on exercise, but that' works for me. About 15 kilos so far and I'm about half way to my goal. At 72, I think I am twice your age. Been following your other channel since the early days and sometimes watch this one too. So, happy to follow your progress towards your health goals!

[@jedarsena3001]

Great to see you on this journey. For your back it might be a good idea to invest in a good ergonomic chair and desk. Good luck Denys!

[@thomaskohler4257]

Best of luck. Discipline will win!

[@vladimirfromukraine419]

Denis, keep going. Maybe you inspire me to do physical exercises. I've been trying to start my gym for ages.

[@RandomRamon]

Nice Denys. I hope you stick to it. And if you have any questions you know where to find me :)

[@christineperkins8582]

😊 Good luck Denys I applaud you taking on moving forward to restart your flying career ! I saw your walk day 2 hope you walked out your stiffness?! Should be good to check in on your progress 🫶🫶 love to your family 🌈 from Aus

[@chrisbailey5055]

Good Job Denys...just remember "move more, eat less."

[@saiki8777]

really like this type of content dennys. i have also gained alot of weight during covid haha , this video will motivate me hopefully

[@jbbrown8079]

I'm with you!

[@azure_fox-5133]

good luck!!

[@saorsa91]

I really need to do the same....will watch your progress, and hopefully, it will give me the motivation to get back on the treadmill.

[@TheAviatonChannel]

U ARE ALIVEEEEEEE

[@SkrraDoesCod]

HE IS BACKKKKK!!!

[@kriber01]

Thats gonna hurt😂 Well done you did good, combined with hikes you will have good progress. 👏👏

[@Holly_Joy]

Denys, I am so proud of you. I promised to do this with you. I ordered a stair climber machine from Amazon to use at home. It should arrive Sunday, so I have to use it because I promised! I used to lift weights to techno music with a big group at the gym, 3 times a week, and then I stopped going during covid. I bought weights to use at home, and got injured pretty badly. I have spent 6 months of the past year doing physical therapy. I dont know if you could be more adorable, you are a wonderful person, and you already look fine- but for you to feel strong, healthy and happy is everything. Getting into the glider is a great motivation. I am so happy to see you taking this step. Now I have to do it!! I said I would, and I will. ❤🎉

[@anitaroberts8729]

Good for you! 🛩 💛 💙 🛩

[@swright4000]

good for you!

[@chop5372]

Denys: 0:30. The same Denys, but after several exercises and shots of water the circle is narrowed: 20:45 . To summarize, Denys thanks for the video, we all wait for the continuation of the blogs, and for your body transformation, you stood on the right path, never give up, proceed with your exercises! Losing weight is a speedy process, every month you can easily lose 4kg, but gaining the muscles is another story, this process is much slower that takes years to look athletic. But anyway, when you lose your fat mass to the extent you wanted and start to really aim at muscle gain (because now the maximum you can is to preserve muscles you currently have while losing fat mass), having a calorie surplus, consuming protein at the extent of at least 1.8g per kilogram of your body weight, and start bodybuilding, especially at the very beginning of these activities every 3-4 months you'll be able to notice a slight difference at the mirror, but of course, this process will start to slow down and slow down, the most important here is not to give up, to proceed with that and these activities must be already an integral part of your (routine) life, and one day you'll be so bulk that you realize you aren't able to fit in the B737 cockpit (yeah, we all know of its size), and there is nothing left the company will be pushed to transfer you to A350. I hope that long before this time UIA will possess these aircraft and everything will be fine in Ukraine ✨✨

[@brushitoff503]

Good stuff Denys, yeah I need to do better too. Cheers!

[@OMARRIOO]

Use this momentum into the new year! You took the most important step and it’s the decision for change. Tip: Rest as hard as you work. :)

[@yuu_xiv]

Hi Denys! You inspired me to do exercise today! I walk about 5km/day usually but I was very sick for a few years so I lost a lot of muscle and my endurance is low (but improving). The gym is too expensive for me right now so I’m doing calisthenic exercises instead. I had pain in my back when I was younger and the doctor suggested I work on my core muscles (abs/six pack & obliques) as well as back muscles. I also found it very helpful to do stretching because some back pain can be caused by tight muscles from sitting or standing with bad posture.

[@samichaouli7854]

I miss your vedeos captain thank u so much

[@divyanshuu_]

I think it's Ireland btw Good to see you Getting Fit.

[@johnny_eth]

Hey Denys, my advice. Get some good running shoes. Start running around your neighbourhood and explore the area around. Eventually your runs will become 1-2 hours and you'll be able to do a lot of sight seeing.

[@payamomidi533]

Keep going, all these bodybuilders etc started as normal people, dont be ashamed you can only lift a couple of kgs, keep going and never give up. Nothing is imposible

[@boom_boom_potty]

Not long ago I weighed 77kg, now I weigh 100kg. I too am spending too much time watching KZbin videos. This video is making me motivated to be healthier.

[@gamingwithmndandlnd4952]

I’m the opposite. I only weigh like 137 lbs(62 kg) and I’m trying to get muscle. I’ve been eating healthy for 4 weeks now and doing as much exercise as I can Monday- Saturday.

[@VeraLucia-xg6ll]

Adorei, seu vídeo, bem intimista!

[@KalekipN.1]

🔥

[@atynzx6380]

i hope you will get better!!! and also this is a really nice gym with a little red-white locker room in it. (i know, you probably realized that i did my own research to find where it was, but i will not tell anyone :) )

[@yt_show7967]

dude I want to start the gym too but , im like 15 , good luck to u man, u took action

[@EmilSvitek]

Hello! That's great! I haven't watched the video, but I'll be glad to share my own experience: 1. I'm workouter (basically training outside, hard variations of pushups, pullups and so on). 2. First thing, before you start your fat lose and muscle gain journey you need to get some theory. What are calories, carbohydrates, proteins, fats. I highly DON'T recommend going on a diet, you will not last long. I higly DO recommend is trying to slightly correct your food. For example, try to add more vegetables, protein food. Don't forget about sweet or fat, it's very important. Just try, experiment and you'll get it. And yeah, if you want to eat chocolate, eat it. It's better to eat 1 chocolate per day than not eating it for 2 days and then eating out 6 of them in 1 day. 3. In the gym, be careful with weights and technique. You can easily kill yourself if you don't adjust it. Choose, you want to achieve more muscles and low durabiltiy or more durability and lower muscles (ofc they will look fantastic). 4. Never steroids. Never. 5. And the last thing. Don't compare yourself with others. If you became better, you're on the right way. That would be all. I'm not the best or biggest, I just want to share it to get more people in it. Thanks for your work.

[@Pilotman7573]

Yo got this bro I will also start my journey too let’s get shredded I’m 14 years old we got this 💪

[@vitvidstreamer2702]

I’m 15 I wanna join too but my I keep getting injured

[@patolt1628]

Hi Dennis. Glad to see that you are safe with your family, which is the most important. I'm one of your old followers, an old man indeed (twice your age!), former helicopter pilot (in the French Army and then experimental test pilot). You don't remember me of course but I advised you at the very begining of this tragedy not to jump into the war "on impulse" so to speak, as you intended to do, since you didn't have any military background and I'm quite sure you wouldn't be here today. On the other hand you had to take care of your wonderful family who needed you and that probably nobody would have efficiently helped in case anything bad would have happened. You did what was to be done and I know it was not easy. What I mean, I'll be direct, is that your weight today is only the tip of the iceberg. It's a consequence, not a cause! I can barely imagine all what you went through but I can get an idea of your current state of mind where everything scrambles in your head... So first don't get stuck in depression: KZbin is fine but impersonal and as such probably not sufficient. Don't hesitate to see a doctor to get some anxyolitic medecine (nothing to do with steroid which is a doping product) to "clean your brain". I know: you first reaction will be "no, I don't want any medecine" but ... I also went through bad times, not the same of course but quite serious at the time and this helped me a lot since it gives you back the capability to "prioritize the problems" when everything seems to have the same importance (a missing button from your jacket as much as a car accident ... you see what I mean). It's a temporary treatment cleaning somehow the electrical connections in the brain and it has the huge advantage to work while being not addiciting at all (while hamburgers can be addicting ...). And the effect is rather fast. Then you can face what is urgent and what is less: your head first since everything depends on it, including the happiness of your family: if you are not happy, they won't be either and that's not what you want. Try to limit your time making KZbin videos, at least not more than necessary, if possible of course. There is a balance to be found since your viewers might be friendly but they are not your family. In the meantime you will succeed in losing weight using the gym and a "serious" diet with the aim to feel better and, if you can aford it, to go flying gliders from time to time. I understand your need of aviation since I got the same "virus"... It can be part of the treatment as well: I remember, in my case, that flying sometimes was a breath of fresh air, a place where I could be fine and appeased, even for a short period of time but with a lasting positive effect. Bad time don't last for ever, Dennis: step by step you will get out of this mess and probably stronger that before. The hard part is done so don't give up, it will be alright. Then, and only then, it will be time to think about whether it will be worth going back to Ukraine and when, regarding all the aspects of the situation. Later on. So my "do-list": 1. To see a doctor (not a psychoanalyst, they are useless) for some medical support 2. In parallel: gym and diet (again with the advice of a doctor): anyway forget McDonald, Donuts and things like that, your parents were right. Otherwise the gym wil be useless. 3. To spend as much time as possible with your family showing them your love and your willingness to overcome the ordeal 4. When possible, to go to a flying club, from time to time, discussing about aviation and flying a little bit. 5. Depending on your personal situation (financial, legal, ...) and the situation, post-war obviously, in Ukraine (political, economical, ...) to make a decision and prepare for the future You have talents Dennis, you can do it and you will succeed. It's like in a rough flight, you are the captain, a good captain. Sorry I've been too long: if I bothered you being perhaps a little "intrusive", I apologize since it was not my intention at all and I will keep silent in the future. Otherwise think about what an old man can tell you and if you have any question or whatever you need, don't hesitate to contact me. All the best to you and your family

[@LeeColes100]

Hello again, enys:! I hope you took it easy on yourself today with your first workout:). One of the things I remember al too well when I returned to weight training was that after the first day or two, I worked myself too hard and then experienced way too much pain and stiffness after that first day or two. So, please go slowly until your body remembers what you are asking of it:). Also, please remember to stretch before you start working out, and to focus on your larger muscle groups and then move to the specific muscle groups:). If you tire the small muscle groups first, then you will not be able to work the larger muscle groups properly. Hmm, from I can see, though, you are likely to be working a bit too hard for your first ay. I guess we will know tomorrow, yes:)? Anyway, I am thrilled that you have decided to focus on your health. This is only a good thing:)! Ah, yes, you are straining just to do three sets of the exercises:(. Please take it easy and work back into it gradually, my friend:)! You are not competing with anyone but yourself:)! Also, as you lift the weight, you should be breathing in and then breathing out as you lower the weight. Breathing is also important in how you move the weights:). Also, Denys, please remember that you are not doing this only to improve your physical health. You are doing this to improve your mental health, too! So, please do your best to focus on simply doing the exercises and doing them correctly rather than how much weight you are moving. Remember too, it is not the amount of weight that you are lifting or moving that counts, but HOW you move the weight that is most important:)! Ask a trainer to work with you on each piece of equipment for what you feel you want to work on. That way you will know what you are trying to achieve and the best way to achieve it as you work on each machine. Also, I KNOW you are going to be sore tomorrow. So, think of this as recovering from an injury until your body becomes more used to the work you are asking it to do. And, take some sort of non-opioid pain reliever like Tylenol or Aspirin just before you leave for the gym. That might help a little bit to relieve some of the pain you are no doubt going to be experiencing after the work out I just witnessed you do. Remember, move the weights slowly, and breath out as you lit the weight and breath in while you lower the weight. Wishing you a relatively pain free day tomorrow:)! Lee

[@dostawczakk9491]

You got this man, I believe in you. Not many people in your age decide to do something with themselves. Keep that up, btw it's Switzerland isn't it?

Painfull road. Hope you will cross it safe and with sucess. Be sure to get your seat on the glider. You will be fine i believe.

[@Airline_Pilot]

Very cool, that you now live in switzerland. That makes it possible to meet you once, if you'd like… let me know… it would be a beautifull occasion for me, to meet you.

[@xxtwobitxx]

Glad your doing OK. I was just wondering what happened to that pilot a couple weeks ago.

[@raymondjones7489]

Drinking water is hydrate...👍

[@79nzoli13]

I should do the same. Sports 10 years (from 10 to 20 years), at the age of 20 i was 190 cm tall and 82 kg,with a lot of muscle. Now I am 44 years old, 190 cm and 111 kg.:D Not too fat, but I feel my excess weight. Unfortunately, I am lazy.

[@dongillette1777]

Me and you are exactly the same weight, I’m 6’2” and I’m not sure how tall you are, but you don’t look that out of shape buddy! I’m also 737 captain and it’s not too bad

[@koz83]

Body condition looks same as mine. I also want to get better shape but not determined enough to do that. Was getting monthly ticket to gym and after few workouts fail to continue :( It needs good will power. I wish strong will power to Denis being example for others like me and maybe get some tips to be successful in that.

[@JonhAvgeek]

You have returned🥺

[@kevm7815]

Even thought Switzerland it’s close to there and chocolate cheap, you should avoid it ;))

[@palandorstvold5622]

I think I know where you are but since you did not want to say it I will not do so either. No I am not from there, I am from Norway. My workout is Golf, started in may/April and have lost 2 x`s :) play an average of 5 times a week 9 holes and 80 minutes fast playing with the wife.

[@enrica2129]

Hi, Danny. In my opinion fish and mozzarella is not a good idea. Better fish or meat with dishes of vegetables cooked and not. A little bit of raw toasted bread or raw rice is not so bad.

[@RandomRamon]

[@LCNWA]

Don't over do plz I frankly rather see you start walking then the gym but am your parents ages. Blew out my knee during the virus so deal w/ authoritis/rymatism & it affected by weather. Good Luck!

[@majungasaurusaaaa]

When you carry a lot of bodyfat, it is easier to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time as a beginner. You should focus on gaining as much muscle as possible everywhere. Muscle is what holds your body together and burns calories. Being stuck in a cockpit for many hours requires a strong back.

[@rachaellawson8871]

Hiiiiiii Denise

Too.many comments to make. Keto Diet for this. Yes. MUSIC. Download copyright free music and mix it in to cover the gym music. I think the Pull Down is supposed to be behind the head to work the Back.

[@kv9865music]

I like how he flim like Sam sulek😅😅😅

[@markusstark8564]

I am currently doing weight loss and I have to tell you: you probably won't be successful in the long term if you don't fast and change your diet/metabolism! There is all information available on YT, but it takes much time to obtain and understand.

[@StraightMan0]

In what state do u live ?

[@MrJdsenior]

If it's anything like the US, make sure you never look within 45 degrees of any woman in there, and if they have a camera on a tripod, either leave or stay out of its field of view. Consume less calories, burn more. Yup, that;s the equation, but unfortunately I've had it reversed for way to long now. We are with ya, dude, A diets are shiite, You have to change your way of eating as a way of life. Less meat, more 'grass' (which is what most greens taste like to me). Yeah, free weights do things that machines don;t, but the machines have some advantages if you want to work specific muscle groups without working ones that might have problems, like my back. Yeah, sugar sucks. I just found a REALLY good tasting sweetener, it is pretty much as good as sugar, but if you buy it watch out, with a 3 qt pitcher of tea you need about 25 drops, it is POTENT. It is called Monk Fruit without erythrital, and the without part is IMPORTANT, because they cut much of it with that, and that stuff is NOT good. It has no calories and no insulin reactivity, so your blood sugar doesn't sky. You can research it to learn more, obviously. Try it, I guarantee you will like it. Amazon has it.

And it has a kitchen or - cuisine, ... - and leisure offers that should well kee one in shape to fly gliders...
