as a young mom of two (I’m 23 with a 2&3 year old) it’s really nice to hear someone my age talk about this and from a perspective of being overweight. I feel like most gym girls were always fit and just maintained their fitness and physique. Something I really struggle with is feeling like I’ll never achieve my goals and it often discourages me to the point of giving up because my body is different and I’ve had children. But I just have to remind myself like, if you’re putting in the work, you will see results. Maybe it will take more work or more time but the result will come. Anyway, thank you for this video! Very helpful! God bless you always!! 🤍🦋

[@KyndelGrove]

yea girl I agree! and that’s why I felt lead to make this bc I have been through the whole cycle of starting and giving up, binge eating, no motivation etc. I pray this encourages you but ALSO. Your body created 2 humans, that alone is so beautiful. ❤ Thankyou for sharing that with me!!

[@stacieberry13]

@@KyndelGrove yes exactly! And thank you!! My husband tells me the same thing but I’m just hard on myself, especially when it comes to my body but it’s something I’m working on! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🥰

[@userkk5338]

this is my perspective on health: so the Lord created us to do His will on this earth. God also tells us that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. so wouldn’t the Lord want us to physically take care of ourselves so we have more time and are physically able to do His will. when we abandon our health we aren’t able to do so many things especially good things. so long life = more time to do good things for Jesus!

[@KyndelGrove]

agreed!

“Being bloated without feeling like I’m being cut if half” is the most relatable thing I’ve heard today 😂

[@KyndelGrove]

hahahahah its so uncomfortable

[@godlovesusall8115]

I'm a former karate athlete who sustained way too many injuries. Prolonged time in recovery has gotten me to a point where I can't muster whatever it takes to go back to it, but I'm trying. I bought myself a yoga mat and I'm committing myself to a 10min session. I feel really happy when I pass through that threshold of failure and break a sweat. Can't wait to do more.

“I hope ya take it!” lol love you!

Hahahaha ily!!!❤

I am 16 years old, and I deal with lots of autoimmune diseases and I have a really hard time. I am starting with healthy eating and exercising, but it has been really hard for me to lose weight and stay consistent with my diet. Thank you for sharing and please be praying for me

[@hllymchll]

try carnivore. it can put almost any conditions into remission. it's basically a miracle diet and has saved a lot of lives

[@pamm2652]

Hi. So I've dealt with chronic pain. The things that helped the most was taking out Inflammatory foods that took out about 80% of the pain . Than exercising took away about 15%. With exercises I do a few thing. Do something every day, make it a habit. For me when I'm not feeling great it might get changed to just a walk or stretching. Trying to spend more time outside on those day. I just find somewhere to sit or lay down. Might even do a grounding technique that you kind of tense up a part of your body for a little bit and take think about what you are feeling in you body than release your body think about what has changed. Starting with your forehead and working down. Yes you could skip a part if you have bad pain there.

[@annanelsen373]

@@pamm2652 Thanks...I've found a type of exercising that seems to work for me, and I know what foods I should and shouldn't eat, I just have a really hard time staying consistent with my diet when everyone around me is eating junk

[@hllymchll]

great. somebody reported or deleted my comment for no reason. I'll try again. you should try the carnivore diet. it can heal autoimmune conditions

[@Midwest.hair.mama.33]

Love this! Watching your vlog has deff inspired me to work out moreand GUESS WHAT GIRL. I hit quads and hammies today ❤❤❤ I also prayed to our Father for the help to get her done and HE DID.❤😊

[@KyndelGrove]

GIRL I LOVE THIS!!! and yess girl hammies & glutes is a goood day!

[@kimberlydixon1557]

Awesome video girl!! I recommend DSG workout clothes from Dicks Sporting Goods. It’s good quality and affordable. The leggings are squat proof and don’t ever fall down when I’m running. I’ve had a similar fitness/ health journey and could not have done and continue to do it without God in my life.

[@KyndelGrove]

I’ve seen her collection!! It is so cute!!

[@maniforsweets7007]

I'm so glad that God brought me to your channel, Kyndel. I always look forward to seeing your videos. I have really been struggling with my body image and my weight. My weight has always fluctuated. About 3 years ago I lost a lot of weight and with life and stress i've gained a lot of weight back. Sometimes it's hard to find biblical perspective that you can relate to. And this video came right on time, right after my prayer time. I can feel the Holy Spirit working through you. So, thank you so much. Keep up the good work. May God bless you forever and ever. Jesus is so good.

[@KyndelGrove]

All glory to God!! That’s encouraging to hear that Jesus is using me!! It really helps to look at wordly struggles through a spiritual Lense!

[@bonniesouter3026]

Thank you Kyndel, this was exactly what I needed (and was just praying about) today 😊

[@KyndelGrove]

Awww ❤ I hope it encourages you!!

just got the notification!! clicked immediately 💕

[@KyndelGrove]

aw thank you!!

[@olivia.elizabethh]

thank you so much for sharing Kyndel!! ❤ I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and ilysm! Ive had a lot of not so postive relationships with my body and other people bodyshaming me about it and so I’ve just been on a cloud 9 with God recently and He’s just reminding me how loved I am but also reminding me that I need to take care of the temple because the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit so this is just an amazing confirmation for me! I hope God continues to bless you and your channel! Love youu!! ❤

[@KyndelGrove]

yes!! Knowing we are temples of the Holy Spirit is honestly the motivation!!! ❤❤

[@olivia.elizabethh]

@@KyndelGrove Amen!! The Holy Spirit deserves a happy home! ❤️

[@kristinnelapsa7598]

Being honest with you Kyndel, i relate to you a lot. Im 16 and I used to binge eat as well. I also grew up in a household that we had to finish our food so i relate to that. I want to excersice and well your video has encouraged me to shift my pov on fitness. I thought that i have to be in a sport in order to motivate myself to excersice but i honestly don't like sports. Since im in school what do you recommend on excersicing?

[@kaitlynanderson4367]

I love when you post! I seriously click so fast on your videos when you post, you're absolutely gorgeous. You are also a huge motivation and encouragement when it comes to my faith! Keep posting your amazing videos/content. ❤

[@caliosunshine]

Kyndel! I just wanted to say I have been doing your workouts for the past 4 months and it has been so helpful for me as I lost 5 lbs and is very easy to follow. Do you think you could do an in-depth video sometime in the future about a chest day? :) thank you so much

[@KyndelGrove]

AWEE!!! This made me so happy!! I honestly didn't know if anyone really liked the fitness videos lol!! So I actually don't work chest, mainly bc that's not an area im trying to grow! but Whitney Simmons has amazing vids on chest workouts!!

I would love to know what your diet normally looks like and how many meals you eat and stuff like that, please I would love it if you would answer this question, love your videos BTW!

[@KyndelGrove]

I eat a wide range of everything! I post what I eat in a days on TT! but im gonna start posting them on YT shorts! my goal is to eat foods that make m feel good but also to be realistic I crave certain foods and im okay with an upset stomach hahaha

[@annanelsen373]

@@KyndelGrove Haha I get that sometimes. Thank you for responding. Please pray for me as I am dealing with lots of autoimmune conditions. God has said that He has healed me, but sometimes its hard to believe

[@sydlovesjesus45]

can you do a video or short on gym modesty as a Christian in today's culture?

[@KyndelGrove]

I do feel that modesty is a personal conviction. I don't think it is anyones job to tell someone what to wear. There are things I don't wear anymore bc I found myself wearing it for the wrong intentions and there are things I wear that people like to disagree on. I truly believe that if you ask the Holy Spirit to guide you about what is "modest" He will help you!

I had twins almost 4 years ago and still struggle with my self image. I stress eat a lot and I’m always exhausted, I’ve been wanting to work out, may just try out some of that pre work out! Coffee just doesn’t seem to cut it anymore lol

[@KyndelGrove]

Totally understand! It defiantly helps on the very tired days, but try something low mg. maybe Alan nu!

[@alimarie4158]

Great video ! How long do you recommend every workout to be ?

thank you! and that is different for everyone! just pick a time that you know you can stay consistent with! the main goal is to keep showing up :)

[@MichellePatino-bu4ut]

To get results, and I mean it in a nice and helpful/ sister in Christ way) get diagnosed by a therapist and go to therapy. I've been through it all girl I'm the same age as you and your tips are what I am currently doing. Glory to God you exist 😊❤❤❤❤thanksss love who you are not what people expect you to be, Be BOLD 🎉
