How I Keep Fit In The Middle Of Nowhere

Hi everyone,
A bit of a different video this week as I want to show you how I get my exercise in living on a farm in the middle of nowhere, with the nearest gym 1.5 hours away in the city.
I feel so much better when I train so I do what I can without all the selection of weights and machines I would use at the gym.
But I am very lucky being surrounded by nature and seeing the sunrise or sunset as I train, it is so good for my soul and mental health.
Some of the animals like to join me too!
Hope you enjoy!
Ruben 🇳🇦
*None of the animals featured on this channel are pets, they all live a natural life outside (no cages or captivity) where they feed on natural food around our farmstead - just like it should be 👍

[@johnrevelation37]

They were too cute. Good workout buddies for sure 😁

[@TheGypsyNurse_]

May I ask exactly what you do like do you tend to rescue animals? Is that your mama and Papa in the video with you?

[@KeefsCattys]

Way better to get your fitness done in the open air with hard work and beautiful views and awesome friends to jog with . What a stunning place to live . You're a great young man with a bright future . Very best wishes to you and all your wonderful family

[@Rubennamibia]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I am very lucky!

[@rog3129]

Good discipline!!

[@davidrahrer]

Beautiful surroundings, friendly animals, a gentle, sincere man with a rockin' body. What more is there, lol. Loved the wart hogs jogging with you!

[@HamsikVanHoveen1997]

Supporting Ruben's family

[@Rubennamibia]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@brucegreenberg7573]

Ruben, best to you and all the animals you care for, as well as your staff. 🫶🌈

[@mister_brando]

All of these insecure gym bros wish they were as interesting as you. It's nice that you are more than just a nice body, you're also a kind soul, not seeking validation like the rest of society, and living a peaceful life. Keep up the great videos!

[@jameswalker68]

James here in Australia, Ruben. This clip just gives all the good feels! I think one of the most heartfelt adorable things I have seen in a long time was all the animals going with you on your jog ❤ The peace and tranquility there must be a tonic for the soul. Thank you so much for sharing some of that with us. Warmest wishes from Melbourne 🙂

[@claudiapimentel3519]

I ve been to Australia. On Green Island melbourne sydney. Australia is beautiful! From Rio de Janeiro Brasil ❤

[@JohnDowd-r8t]

In a world of stress, you’re completely comfortable with your surroundings and your life. It’s good to share so we see life can be different 🥰

[@tangogent]

Arguably the handsomest, most charming man on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx

[@Rubennamibia]

That is far too kind, but thank you 🙏🏻

[@boroiasar12]

Definitely

[@alenakocova6502]

Ahojte pripájam sa tiež fakt najkrajší s dobrým srdiečkom pa Alena Slovakia ❤❤❤

[@charityshoptreasures2569]

I love your family all the little fur babies running after you

[@mikaelb7735]

You Ruben is such a lovely person with charm, witt and a LOVING interaction with all the animals!!! A pure charmer i would say 😍

[@Tilly-bd4hc]

You are a cross between Jack Lalanne and Sir David Attenborough. I'm dated I know. But I love to watch them both. Keep the videos coming. Michigan, USA.

[@nocount1]

Wow! You're as old as I am! And that ain't young.😂

[@ak5659]

Should I be alarmed that I actually know who Jack Lalanne is? I remember watching his show at my grandparents' house on their ancient B&W Philco. It was a floor model (nearly the size of a TL washer) with a screen that measured 19 whole inches!

[@glamdolly30]

Behind every great man like Ruben, is a great woman - can we please have a video hosted by your wonderful mum, Ruben? It would be fascinating to hear her perspective on the animals, and how she raised you and your brother alongside her 'first born' baby, your big sister Cindy the baboon.

[@mariacperez-fondon543]

I dont know what it is about this beautiful young man but i can listen to him talking about absolutely anything. He truly comes across as gentle and humble. I wish you and your mates from the animal kingdom the very best Ruben!!!..

[@sseale7903]

Hello Ruben and Cindy..you have made it on the news here in the Houston,Texas area. There's a big article on the Google Newstand on our cell phone. I wish I knew how to send it to you. It's really amazing how Cindy made it from Namibia to the U.S. news

[@redwoods7370]

That is wonderful! The Dodo needs to do a piece on Ruben and Cindy.

[@rich8888mmm]

"Running with Warthogs" Love it!.....Sounds like the Namibian version of "Dances with Wolves"😀. Love what you do Ruben.🙏 Greetings from a fellow cattle farm guy from Queensland.

[@Bluebell8967-f3n]

Yes I love the warthogs running after you. It takes motivation to get up and move you set a good example to the animals.

[@jodidavis6595]

Was wondering how you were so fit. Soooo important to be fit and eat healthy and it starts young. Hopefully you’ll be an inspiration to your generation. 🇺🇸❤️

[@anthonyurbanski7030]

I had a farm in Texas and I got hurt on a horse I got thrown and broke my neck and my lowerback and had a complete hip replacment and now I am retired in Florida with my service dog Jackie a Cane Corso. I love your channel Ruben.

[@Billy-dj8zw]

He is more than lovely, he is lovable, And he has a great accent!

[@JacobMoretti-NotABot]

I could just listen to that accent forever. It’s like South African, Irish, and Kiwi, with a dash of German.

[@ak5659]

His native language, Afrikaans, is a dialect-leveled Dutch that was standardized by committee (like Italian was) in the early 1700's. As a result it has fewer irregularities than modern Dutch. If you're a native English speaker who's studied German (or vice versa) you can understand simple texts written in everyday language fairly well. It's similar to a person fluent in Spanish and Italian seeing written Portuguese for the first time. ---- It helps that all of the Germanic languages are much, much more similar than they appear to be wheneyou first encounter them. Sorry, I'm a bit of a language geek.

[@namelesswreck6383]

Your gym is better than any other gym. fresh air, beautiful Vistas and the company of furry friends 🥰🤩🐗🐕🐾

[@CarolaKämpe-f6i]

Ruben 🤗😍 Looking forward to it. I will try to be there! 🙏

[@pipetluvsjaws]

I love you so much brother and I love Cindy and I love the warthogs and the meerkats and everything that lives in that beautiful home, you're beautiful country. I love you Cindy! Thank you for providing me with a beautiful escape, here in the US things have been a little crazy, but they're about to get a whole lot better I believe. Anyway sending you love from my family my husband and my son and our three dogs, here in the beautiful Southwest Washington Coast. I wish the world was populated with men like you brother 🖤 🐺

[@thefilipinojoe]

You look great. I workout with dumbbells. Music helps me get motivated. Keep up the great work.

[@D4NNYF00]

Didn’t know how much I needed this 🥰

[@heliotrope2924]

Vous êtes bien, très loin de la folie du monde. Restez surtout dans votre beau pays ! 👋 Paris-France 👍

[@lornawilbore106]

I so enjoy your videos. What a beautiful and peaceful place you live in. It certainly does take some discipline to make sure that you do your exercises every day. Well done.

[@raquelvalles2605]

Mi esposo Sergio y yo te seguimos ,y estamos enamorados de tus animales.

[@EllanDay-hz2ib]

It’s so great that Rubin says that his brothers and sisters are his pts ! Plus he is good looking which is a big plus ❤

[@mammymack3400]

Sorry I missed you live. But you're videos I love to watch. The animals look very good and healthy. Looking forward too many more❤❤😂

[@markmunich8081]

[@theherd5830]

Ruben if I could, I would send you a complete Gym equipment set up. You are an inspiration to us all. Incorporating all your animal family in your workout is amazing!❤

[@oliverwortley3822]

i just want you to know that you own me

[@Waitingon2025]

You're crazy! 😂

[@lornameerkat7480]

Such simplicity. No fancy equipment. This is how I want to live. Cute kitty. How many cats and dogs do you have?

[@grazynakozlowska6842]

Super jest oglądać filmiki z tobą i zwierzętami. Jesteś wspaniałym facetem. Pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍😀❤❤❤❤

[@jla-fz8cy]

Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 👋😊Everything l see is unique there, like that cricket!! It's huge, here they're maybe 1/2"inch long.🤭

[@johanvanrooyen6650]

Hi Ruben, I love your show.

[@Rubennamibia]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@nlloydlister]

Ruben realizing that 40% of why I watch his video's is his biceps and giving us the video we wanted. 😅😅😅 Thanx ❤

[@herveboule4352]

Merci Ruben, j adore tes vidéos, t es une personne bien, on voit que tu aimes tes animaux

[@mmolmop7295]

Your humor.....the sunset in your gym. Paint can weights, creative

[@aunty-fawnee]

Love love your videos, Ruben. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@calboy2]

Another great video! Love from South Africa

[@4st1zz9]

I can't stress sunscreen enough! Be careful out there, looking good

[@МатьТайсона]

Рубен живёт как Тарзан ❤

[@susanbuckley4153]

Goodness!! 🌹

[@Unlike230]

OMG I want to live this life. Heavenly with the babies and scenery. God bless your kind heart with the angels ❤

[@KJ-gc8oq]

Such a treat to see Ruben working out ☺️

[@BeeBaby861]

Hi Ruben, I love your channel. I must ask you to please be nice to the Koringkriek, (Bush Crickets). They are such good natured creatures and will eat out of your hand if you feed them. :) I discovered this on a hike along the Fish River. Keep up the great videos! Love from South Africa.

[@kyartistry]

I feel I need to show this to my son, who says he can't work out without a gym membership! 😂❤ (he's 15)

[@robertmather7334]

U will be getting a plaque for 300 k subscribers soon my friend ❤️. I absolutely love your videos ❤.

[@cattycats4]

Have you ever encountered a confrontation while jogging like a pack of wild baboons or other animals?

[@Rubennamibia]

You do see them out sometimes, but most wild animals will run away if they see a human approaching 😊

[@catherinesaur3782]

I love the warthog training partners you have. 😍

[@Elise10000]

Ah yes, warthog presses ! 😊 thanks for sharing your routine. Topic for future if you haven’t covered-how do you prepare for possibly encountering a wild cat (ie leopard) during your jog? Not something most of us need to think about :) the wildlife is beautiful.

[@darranhebert]

The meerkat is also a qualified personal trainer.

[@ProgressiveGoldbug]

If my gym were this beautiful, I’d go there more often.

[@aniaswiergiel2583]

Omg this is cuteness overload

[@robetheridge6999]

Wow, great shape, bro. Were you always fit growing up?

[@dereksmith8746]

Physical exercise =win/win...Good for mind, body and soul...go Ruben...

[@DD-rl4mj]

Cindy keeps you in shape. That’s all we need to know 😊

[@timbrut256]

this was a nice change of video, it is nice to see the animals, but there are only so many times you want to watch the same thing again and again. You should make more videos on your life, as well perhaps your family.

[@PDFellegy]

Your entourage in tow…. So amazing!

[@faiaazmuhammed7072]

Please make more fitness videos.i was alwz woundring how you are so fit.so thank you for sharing.loved it

[@mcl175]

Omg Betsie and Bennie running after you is so cute❤ I think I need to do more exercise too. a what I eat in a day would be cool too

[@lynnroney1234]

I love the improvisation for some exercises. Wart Hogs joining in the jogging is so funny. I guess they’re doing their cardio too.

[@renep4607]

You have something that is so much better than the gym!

[@mariannevoight3611]

Jogging with the best view eva!! & your 3 time keepers 🤣 Are you not concerned about a lion or leopard surprising you on a run?? I guess you'd go faster 🤣

[@MichaelBosnak]

Fitness with friends, 👍

[@Theresebonath6077]

I wonder how many women on here or men wish that they could have a man like you Ruben 🌞🥰 I know if i had been younger i would have taken the first flight there ❣️🙈 Its true though who doesnt love to see someone that loves and cares about their animals like Ruben and his family 🙂

[@shirleyboyes6080]

Namibia is so beautiful , can’t wait to get home to South Africa and her beautiful people

[@AuroraGuide]

Seus vídeos me trás paz. Obrigada

[@johnkearns35]

Hubba hubba!

[@kevinfar]

Very nice workout. Thanks for sharing and showing your muscles.

[@Geannie123]

So wholesome ❤🥰

[@jennyhealy6648]

I hated going to school in horn cricket season, short jog to school and everyday a horn cricket found on my backpack lol

[@carolyn0408]

Please introduce us what you eat in a day and some authentic cuisines! I love all the animals and really enjoy leaning about your country.

[@user-de5fx8hy8s]

Please tell us more about Jakkals and your gorgeous Boerboel pooch😊

[@Quixotic_cog]

Dreamy as heck, you’ll make someone very lucky ❤

[@pupmommie]

Can we talk about how cute these 2 little wart hogs are?

[@bradley7506]

What a great life…warthogs and a dog running with you. That’s not something a person ever sees… amazing! Can’t help but be concerned that you might overheat in that T-Shirt….

[@jessyy.4800]

What a cool video, I mean basically what a cool life😅 and a very cool dude🫡💪🧡💛

[@bambam76]

Love jou post Ruben. Maak my dag 🙌

[@monikazygmuntowska3738]

You have the best company

[@brianlawson363]

Hello !!! I was wondering how often you come across venomous snakes around your house. I know that the Meerkat/ Mongoose brigade helps, but with Cindy being blind I worry that she may accidentally come into contact with one and be bitten. You are a great guy, but I come to see Cindy. Peace and blessings to you and your family !!!

[@daleturner1125]

So many animals! I hope some of them forage for food.

[@RICHIE_RICH89]

I learned over yrs of trial and error and injuries dont go heavy heavy. Lift middle of the road weight and use high rep high sets , volume is best . High reps with some cardio.

[@Rubennamibia]

Thanks!

[@RICHIE_RICH89]

@Rubennamibia no problem

[@erickapoppe9696]

That cricket was huge! If I were there the cat calling would possibly happen.. I’m old but not dead 😂😊by way I looked up cat call- oops .. I don’t mean it negatively or disrespectfully! lol😂love your videos

[@juanitatedesco7693]

😂”the cow called me a liar”😂

What a beautiful life!

How far are you in discussions with disney about turning your life into a franchise?

[@aishalatoski]

Look at you marching to the beat of your own drum! 🎉💜

[@Pooplips829]

Can we meet the other dog behind the fence?

[@AI-Assist-2024]

He has very relaxed energy that is why the animals like to hang around him. But how do you keep motivated?

[@DJCoolHandRoo9871]

"I'M SKIPPING LEG DAY!"....😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

Love Cindy❤

Awesome Workout 😊

[@simes2002]

Oh, 'bicep curls' . I thought you said "bicycles" which stumped me for a moment, 😆.

[@marcpuckett]

I think so, too. He just stumbled over the bic-.

[@carolniemand7105]

Awesome 👌
