How I Lost Fat + Built Muscle After a Year Without Training

[@jennywang6473]

I feel like a common thing for people to feel is this fear of getting back to something you once were much better at and observing the decline. This video is really helping people with the mindset that it's ok to take a break and get back to something, be worse at in in the beginning but improving from that and not be afraid of it. Life is full of ups and downs and that's just the way it is. You showing us your courage to get back out there with a positive midset is something beautiful! Thank you Natacha

[@innnak1]

I really needed this reminder, thank you Jenny.

[@adrianaluciani_]

My struggle!

[@SarahJane365]

I needed to see this comment too, thank you Jenny and thank you Natacha. It's time to get back on that horse!!

[@muneebahpatel5090]

Couldn't have said it better 👏🏻😍

[@TangoMasterclass]

Absolutely!!

[@natachaoceane]

I love you all ♥️ thank you for always having my back 🥺

[@mariannamihalova4749]

Thank you Natacha..inspiring as always! We´d love this style of training as a guide! :)

[@muneebahpatel5090]

Thank you for this. I felt like you made this video for me today after my swimming session. Would like if you can read my comment 😊🙏🏻

[@kimberkeith9449]

Please say you’re going to do a new guide based on your current training split??!!

[@emilybargy9545]

Now that you’ve told us what your workouts are do you mind showing a little bit more and how you fit all those things into one session?

[@ninakoch1799]

love your videos❤️

[@Moon_Puff]

Your comeback has been the truest testament of the science you advocated about the body and time off from exercise (cue the pull ups). And ahem if he's comfortable, we'd love a "Mario on his own" or a "What I eat in a day" video through his perspective. Love you both!

[@natachaoceane]

hey Michaela (: ah you know I have actually been thinking so similarly! I feel really lucky that studying the science has helped me so much with feeling calm in moments where I felt lost and stressed out through recovery and then with rebuilding once my back finally felt better. Hahah I like the suggestions and Mario has been looking forward to videos where he can get involved recently so I'll suggest it! Lots of love!

[@zoeoikonomidou]

you have helped so many girls. you showed that fitness and health is so much different than what we knew back then. You are a person that really helped me to get out of my toxic relationship with food and exercise. just by being you. so thank you.

[@natachaoceane]

this comment really means more to me than I know how to express. you feeling better about your relationship with food and exercise is such an incredible place to be in, so I am so so happy for you! big hugs and all my support (:

[@MamaSwole]

I'm so happy you were able to recover and feel more yourself again queen, that's what you deserve

[@natachaoceane]

you're the cutest, thank you so so much!

[@mayamelles]

After getting injured in February 2021 and slowly starting to feel "normal-ish" again, this is probably the most relatable KZbin video I have watched. THANK YOU! I cannot wait for the next videos

[@natachaoceane]

ahh thank you Maya I'm so happy you found it helpful! I'm also incredibly happy that you feel like you're getting back to normal again following your injury. Sending you so much love and here's to our stronger selves! ❤❤❤

[@fildip]

Same Feb 21 team

[@TheMightyOdin]

I started at 402 pounds in January 2020 since then I’ve lost 182 pounds and I’m currently 220 pounds. I love watching your training videos. They make me increase my effort in the gym.

[@RichXVIII]

That's an incredible achievement, keep up the good work!

[@hannahcho8576]

I so appreciate how you show how much WORK it takes in the gym and in the kitchen to achieve your fitness goals. It's easy to think people just have "better genetics", but actually, they're probably working super hard as well.

[@miaurakimchi7349]

I wish this was true. But seeing how easily my hubby gain muscle and looses fat with barely training while I have to be sooo conscious about food and workouts I gotta admit genetics are a factor. Totally are.

[@antonetbehr1995]

It's always the honesty for me. You're out here like hey I picked up some weight I lost some muscle, this is how I'm working back towards my ideal. No bus#!%. Thanks for being open and clear and concise. You're a true rockstar.

[@yasminek172]

I've been watching her for probably two years or more at this point and hearing her voice just puts me in a good mood. I'm glad she's back and feeling better

[@maddiejaneec]

YES! So happy to see another video so soon! THANK YOU NATACHA for being such a great role model to myself and many others! I started my own channel to document my ED recovery and really look up to you! I know it takes a lot of work... but PLEASE make videos a weekly thing! Love from Canada ❤

[@manishsinghtanwar3010]

Hi

[@krinko547]

She's making very high quality videos, doing her research, experimenting on herself, etc. Weekly videos at this high standard is not feasible.

[@brikate3396]

I TOTALLY AGREE :) :) I love seeing these videos more regularly too :)

[@alishbakhan3804]

I needed this video badly after getting surgery. I have put on a bit of weight and I'm not as active as I used to be. This just reminded me that I can always regain my strength. It's okay to allow our bodies to heal and change. Thank you! ❤️

[@pienikoiru]

this whole video, especially your wholehearted way of being so sincere and respecting about your body and strength, is exactly what the world needs!!!!! your mindset radiates this positive and playful energy which makes me feel so HAPPY

[@MsHappystar99]

I also slipped a disc in May of 2020, and have just had the operation for it now and beginning my rehab process. I completely relate to how you have felt and how challenging it has been. Seeing your comeback is so motivational and inspiring! Thank you for all the knowledge and advice 💜

[@Someone-lf7iz]

I really needed to see this. Coming back from massive injuries has been hard, but changing my mindset to how I'm going to approach "starting over" has been the toughest hurdle. Things like this are a good and positive reminder

[@cocoaxo6126]

Goodness! even though she’s not posting anymore, her videos are wrought with timeless knowledge. i’m considering not training for my amenorrhea recovery and her videos are supporting me (:

[@marcharpo]

I love how honest you were about your journey - discussing both the feats and the difficulties. So glad to hear that you've been enjoying the process!

[@user-my5ru3vw8n]

I needed this so much. I quit exercise for the first time in six years this April because of a personal traumatic tragedy and I just didn't have the motivation to exercise. I wasn't exercising at all whatsoever. Finally I've started exercising again and I feel like I'm regaining strength. I'm not back to weights yet but I'll get there soon. Thank you for being an inspiration Natacha, I used to feel so shitty for not working out but looking at you makes me feel so much better. Your videos have given me so much confidence and mental peace. I love you ❤️

[@allisonwright9151]

Is it time for another Natacha guide? I'd love one that combines the workout styles the way that you explained during the video! :) I'm glad that you are feeling well and building strength!

[@humankaleidoscope4989]

Yes! I have no idea what I’m doing 😂

[@ShayAliyah]

She has one called Move on her website (which she said is quite similar to the way she actually trains)! ;) x

[@cakesKC]

I think this is quite similar to the ‘restart’ guid …

[@ShayAliyah]

@@cakesKC yeah, definitely in this video, but pre-injury she trained more like the way she does in Move :)

[@mulalula]

restart is good i guess but i feel like a Rehab guide could help all of us who went through injuries! especially back ones since those are very common

[@melondoo6129]

Natacha thank you for cultivating this beautiful legacy. I often come back to your youtube videos when I'm feeling down about my body composition and fitness journey. You make me feel calm and remind me to live joyfully because I have the capacity to actually live happily and healthily by listening to my body.

[@kina.adelina]

How is this content free??!! Amazing as always Natacha, and thank you for saying how long this process is taking you because I always tend to start out going like 110% because I think it should only take me a couple weeks to reach my goals, and then have to take a break because I’ve overworked myself right off the bat. You’ve helped me set more realistic goals for myself and I really appreciate your philosophy on health and fitness

[@lemonadeslices]

this is so useful!! i love you natacha

[@natachaoceane]

I completely understand where you're coming from. I've had lots of moments too when I just thought that this was how life was gonna be now but I find it helpful to remember that injury is part of a lot of athletes' journeys who then go on to recover and perform even better than before! I think it made me respect the rehab process more too and also kept me feeling positive when I felt low. I'm sending you so much love and I really believe in you! xxx

[@emilym7517]

Aw, I love you SO much Natacha! This is coming at such a good time. Coming out of one of the more major depressive episodes of my life and my strength is down so much. I was feeling so guilty and ashamed of it but honestly, listening to you has really helped change that and allowed me to see it as an opportunity to hit restart and build up an even stronger foundation & better version of myself. Thank you so much, big hugs from Canada

[@courtneyweber9645]

This is me right now, I have lost myself to my mental health over the last 18 months and I am so ashamed.

[@ilymusicnballet]

Thank you for this! It's comforting to know someone who has achieved great milestones in fitness, whom took a temporary step back, can absolutely bounce back. I've experienced something similar and it's been a mental and physical battle. Just the words I needed to hear for a lil 'pick me up'. We just need to be kind to ourselves and get back into the groove when ready and smash those goals!

[@chxrlottebrown]

this has to be one of the most useful videos I've watched in terms of fitness! I've just restarted your cut related guide and I can totally see the structure of your workouts mentioned here and how it is reflected in the guide! Ive literally written notes on this video to come back to later. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!!!

[@lucialapina9273]

Natacha,you helped me so much. I'm struggling with food for over 13 years and I'll probably never recover fully. But I'm following my cues now, I listen to my body and I'm trying to eat more intuitively, I'm soaking every information you provide and I'm feeling better. Also due to covid I'm not that active anymore, I was competetive grappler and I had a pause for so long, that I can't seem to go back again and start from the scratch. It frustrates me so much. Anyway, glad you're back with your videos and that you are doing so well after the injury. Sending lots of love to you and Mario. 🙏🏻❤

[@juliane3357]

You sound and look so happy 🥺❤️ it's so good to see you like this!!

[@Ahmad67475]

[@111nitya]

Natacha, we're all so happy to see you back to health. Can you do more workout videos? Even if it is in the gym about what combination of moves you are doing for the day?

[@hollyparsons4234]

Yes I love watching her workouts! So inspiring xxx

[@aidagibbons1045]

Yes! I love the workout videos that explains the moves.

[@humankaleidoscope4989]

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

Seconded, especially since it looks like her training style has changed a little bit recently, noticing a lot more compound moves on her iG that are new and look so badass!

[@oressa]

her guides have more workouts too!

[@Sunburn5221]

Natacha, thank you so much for this video, especially the part where you describe how your body has changed during that period of non-training. I'm going through a rough time understanding my body and measurements are not even close to the ones I had a year ago with 5-6 days of training per week. And it is really difficult to start working out again knowing that you can not do the things you've previously done easily. It's great that you are not afraid to tell about such experience and inspire others by this action. Thank you, lots of love 💚

[@jemimabean]

I am so happy that you’re feeling more like you again. You are such a role model to us all💛

[@carlacarpenter7341]

It is oddly comforting that you have the same struggles as anyone else through this pandemic. I'm so glad you're recovering from your injury and super proud of you for getting back at the gym again. You have been a major factor of inspiration in my own personal fitness journey and it helps so much to be reminded it's ok to take ot slow. Slow is steady and steady leaves results that last. Thank you for being you love. ❤

[@JaxiXD210XD]

Thank you for this Natacha!! I’ve been trying to get back to where I was before the pandemic health & fitness wise but had no idea where to start 😭💖 I’m so excited that you’re back and feeling better as well!

This video is exactly what I needed. I’ve been struggling to get back into regular training since injury as I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with the volume I used to do. Many notes taken 📝

[@valinilatchman2818]

I needed this tbh :3 Last year into this year was really hard medically and mentally... my joints and lung function have severely declined. I recently started back working out and it's really hard. I don't know how I did it before. This gave me so much hope and motivation that I will get back my strength and endurance with time. Thank you

I am so glad I was suggested this by KZbin. Helps me feel no so alone. My lifts all died a tragic amount in 2018-2019 due to malnutrition caused by Coeliac disease. Then the last two years happened and closed my gym. It is a real struggle to get anywhere near my pre Coeliac best. Health always needs to come first.

Thank you, I needed this! I was hurt in March 2020 and recovered in May 2021 but have had a hard time going back to the gym. Currently doing 3 workouts/week (previously 5-6) and I've felt very bad about not working out as much as I used to. This was very comforting

hey beautiful! I totally relate to the fear, I have felt the exact same way and felt real frustration at times over the whole thing. If you have support from a physio that you trust 100% I know that you'll make an incredible recovery - for me that was the biggest factor for sure! Big hugs!

Hi Natacha, thank you for sharing this video. I am almost 3 months of not being able to walk due to a broken ankle from skateboarding. As an avid runner, (light) weightlifter and skater, it has been discouraging to see the changes in my body - I actually lost weight overall because I was so scared of eating too much and gaining fat - but as a result, lost all of that strong leg muscle. I am at the beginning phase of putting weight back on the ankle that was broken, and seeing what you went through and how you very smartly came back gives me a lot of hope for my journey! Thanks again.

This video was VERY much needed :))) Given my poor health these past few months coupled with my ambitious nature, it's been tough trying to be patient with my body and overcoming this sense of being constrained.

[@esmee6308]

Having spent a majority of my life constrained and even bedbound I was terrified of falling back to that. Two weeks ago I got really sick and couldn't workout, I was so surprised how accepting I was of the situation and just did a few small walks for fresh air and did show up for work since we're understaffed and it wasn't contagious. I'm almost recovered and last night I dreamt of the gym so the desire is coming back. Also going to make sure I'm properly recovered. There's been times I'd just pushed through and made things worse. Odd type of progress but it's there. Hope you'll recover well and can get back to it as soon as possible!

Coming from someone who used to use training and exercise as a hobby and food as fuel this has been a little discouraging for me. But to see you be so raw with your journey back has given me the confidence and inspiration I needed. So thank you!! ❤️

[@isabellaome4112]

I’m so happy that you’re back and getting stronger every day! You really motivated me today.

I'm recovering from a chronic illness and seeing someone else go through a physical issue and watching you recover from your injury and what you've been doing with your training, taking it slow, focusing on specific things (like when you were strengthening your back) ahs been so helpful for me to accept doing one thing at a time and not setting unreachable goals for myself. Doing the basics and not moving ahead too quickly is how I will move forward effectively. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@christomas7948]

Much needed and helpful video! Got injured early into 2021 and am only recently able to start getting back into the activities I did previously.

Thanks Natacha and it's so brilliant having you back with such inspiring honesty, intelligence, insight and humour, and especially the beast mode training grind you seemingly enjoy so much. It's mind-blowing that you're 'only' at 60-70% of your previous peak however the best thing of all is seeing the smile on your face and hearing the passion in your voice which makes me confident that you'll soon be performing and feeling better than ever!

So happy to see a video from you so soon! ❤️ This was so helpful! I have for the last year struggled with several injuries; in my shoulders, my knees and my back. None of them are fully healed, but I am working on it one day at a time. I am sad to hear about your injury because I don't wish that upon anyone, but it does make me feel less alone. It's truly amazing to hear that your recovery has been successful and that you are back to training as you want to. I know that injuries can be even more tough mentally, so it must feel amazing to be back 😊 I am so happy for you! ❤️ And thanks for the amazing video!

[@courtneyd4794]

Ahhhh I love this so much. I started working out again at the beginning of September after nearly two years of being almost completely sedentary thanks to both the pandemic and an extended depressive episode. I am also working on getting back to my old self, losing fat and building muscle back! It was very humbling and kind of demotivating at first, as mentally I wanted to jump into my old training style but my body just couldn't do it. I'm already seeing and feeling changes and am treating myself to a few sessions with a PT coming up. Thanks for such a relatable video, it made me feel loads better :)

[@rachelxelainexo]

If you are thinking of doing some more workout videos in the near future, i would LOOVE one that's a bit more beginner-friendly for people (me) starting to workout again!

I’ve just been through 1 year of 2 stage ACL revision. I’m 4 months post 2nd surgery & had put on weight too. I haven’t been this heavy since I was pregnant.

I can't believe the timeline you just posted and everything you said literally happened to me all the muscle loss EVERYTHING you said. Except that mine wasn't an injury but more of an unexpected health issue. I'm so glad you're starting to feel better it gives me hope that I'll get better and begin to exercise again, it's been devastating sis but life happens we'll get our strength back. sending you love xx

[@annabelleyee6199]

hey Natacha! would you mind sharing a bit about the rehab & spinal strengthening exercises you did to be able to get to this starting point? I feel like your reset (baseline at the start of the video) is already much higher than most folks who lead sedentary lifestyles and I think it would be good prep for someone looking to get stronger! thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@NatHarwood]

Yeah I was interested in this too, it's kinda missing from these videos - or I haven't looked hard enough

[@natr5774]

You are ACTUALLY AMAZING. Like you just have the best vibe and you’re really inspiring. Thank you for being you!! and I’m so glad you feel better💓💓

Watching this while doing my PT exercises! Broke some small bones in my back early September and finally cleared for light exercises. It feels so good/weird to move again. 🙂🙃

[@elmacronje7474]

The ordering in, THANK YOU for speaking about this! I always looked at these "what I eat in a day" videos and felt so lazy and incompetent because I just didn't and couldn't put in the same amount of time and effort. Your advice really humanizes this and helps to break it up into achievable goals.

Such an helpful Video! :) I would love more examples for those supersets!

[@natachaoceane]

hey! Thank you for letting me know, I'll make a note and try and share some more! My instagram has exercise ideas for you if you're looking for options for those second + third exercises for the supersets (the dynamic ones with low-no weight) (:

[@elizabethren7848]

You’re so FUNNY and SMART and COOL ugh ily. Natacha’s just built different

[@noemi4x]

I was scrolling my yt feed cause I didn't really want to start studying and then your video came out... I guess I have a good excuse not to study now lol so good to see you ❤️

Hi

[@natachaoceane]

hahah always here to help you procrastinate, I got your back 😉 all my love (:

[@tewesa9707]

i was doing the same exact thing! lol

[@parisjones9328]

I started exercising at 15 and by 18 had reached what I deemed my peak. Because I was aesthetically motivated, I lost all drive to keep training and stopped for 2.5 years. Your channel helped me overcome my fear of returning and sucking at something I used to be really good at. Now I have a completely different mindset, I train because my body can do amazing things if I teach it and that is the best confidence builder I’ve ever experienced. And now I teach that to other women through strength and health coaching. I am not me without your impact Natacha. You were a big part in my course correction and I am so thankful for you. I’m also really glad that you’re feeling better, you truly are the best 💛
