I'm Ready to Make Some SERIOUS Changes

[@sunnyfilms_2959]

We love a queen who doesn’t complain and rather makes a change 😊

[@loveydoveywomanH20]

LOVE love love love this new series. I also was surprised at how much I enjoy weightlifting. I know we’ve all heard the myths that we’ll get super big but that has not been the case. I feel sooo much more energetic and seeing how much I can lift and the progress is soo exciting!! I’m with you on this journey, you are so capable of getting to where you envision yourself. ✨ we got this!!!

[@nieshvanterpool]

just started training with weights a few months ago and i'm also seeing such a difference! in my general strength, most notably in my yoga practise. feeling yourself biceps get a little more bulky is also super fun!

[@lydiatodd5882]

Fueling your body is SO important! It’s great that you realized that in order to build muscle, (& just function in general) while also working out every day, you must consume more food. It seems counterintuitive, but that’s the way our body works! Loved this video. You go girl :)

[@edwinamarie]

Living for the positivity and self discipline! An inspiration queen 👑🤌🏾

[@emilymaexo_]

The intro is LITERALLY me. Hitting everything on my list of things I’m tired of. I’m so glad I found your channel and have found someone else going through this glow up journey too!!

[@amberleehutchinson6419]

Hey girl ! I just wanted to give you a little help for the beginning of your journey. I may mention that i am a student in dietetics and nutrition so this is not just no knowledge-base that i say this. If your body is physically telling you to not eat anymore food, trust it. Because this was your first workout day and the beginning of your journey, your body didn't have the time to adapt yet. It's okay if you don't meet the amount of calories you "should" consume, with time your basal metabolic rate will increase, trust me. If you fill up your body too much, you might experience more fatigue and trouble digesting the food your body didn't need to fonction, and you might not want to eat anything the next day because you're still feeling full. Take it step by step, don't force it onto your self. I've experienced the same journey as you, trying to eat more and more to gain weight, but that just increased the amount of acid in my stomach (natural fluids that are here to help you digest when your body is struggling to) and I wouldn't eat for the next 2 days and i'd feel like crap, and that obvioulsy didn't help me on my journey because I would end up eating a very low amount of calories in general. You can also try eating smaller meals, and eat more meals a day, it helps your body digest better and keeps you metabolism up ! Be gentle with your body, it will adapt !! You got this !!

[@ariyanak]

This video came at the perfect time. I want to start eating 3 meals a day and this video just gave me all the motivation I need. Thank you!

[@mmusicXD]

So excited for youuuu~ I recently came to the same mindset since I also learned I have minor scoliosis, and my body had just gotten so weak that I managed to pop a rib in my sleep, so I signed up for a personal trainer to keep me accountable and not injured while muscle building. But after two weeks I was rear-ended and I'm still recovering from whiplash so my pcp banned me from going to the gym atm. In the meantime I'll live vicariously through you! You got this 🖤

[@daisiemae65]

Wishing you all the best on your weight journey and other goals. There’s not a doubt in my mind that you’ll reach each and every one of them. This tutorial felt so therapeutic for me. You’re so good at speaking on issues that are so needed for ones mind and body. I always walk away from hearing your own personal messages, I mean really hearing it and for me it makes me feel like refueling my tank, hit reset and run this race with a purpose… Intentionally! Thank you once again for sharing.♥️🌹

[@chelseahalli9907]

That INTRO ❤️. I deal with some of the same things and this video made me feel good and motivated to create better for myself.

[@renee8802]

Girl I’m going through the same thing except I am trying to lose weight and get stronger. But I feel the same way you do. Lethargic, weak, bad posture because I work at home and desk job, sleeping in the wrong positions and just being in constant pain and discomfort. I don’t get nearly enough sunlight and outdoor time as I should. The pandemic really has made me so much more aware of my body and it’s time for a change! Wishing you the best and healthiest journey! We can do this 💕

[@lenimarie4240]

I feel the same;))

[@eyesup6711]

I was really so sad these days cause am skinny and no matter what i did I couldn’t gain some weight but watching this video i really learned some new things i love ur videos good luck 🤞

[@jordynburton6056]

I love your "yes, we put pineapple on pizza in this house" energy, like yesss 😁

[@ari_1456]

OMG YES YES YES

[@biancagonzalez7647]

pineapple 100% belongs on pizza!

[@masegooo_s5101]

I remeber the pizza i had was the one with pineapple i swear i vomitted in the restaurant and that day i thought pizza was not nice but now i try to eat pizza just not the one with pineapple 😿💕😂

[@Marleylynnn]

I definitely recommend trying to split your calories into more meals so then it’s possible for you to eat more. It also allows your stomach to digest the food more properly so you’re not completely full still when it comes to eat your next meal.

[@GummyBear5105]

I’m on that rn too! Really motivates me when I know people feel the same way

[@spreadbeautyy]

Same…. Just got out of therapy and going to try to clean and work out

[@5ystemError]

Love this series! Just a heads up, since caffeine/pre-workout makes me anxious sometimes: if you ever find that it causes anxiety, you can add L-Theanine. It's an amino acid found in green tea that decreases anxiety and promotes calmness. Also, there are caffeine-free pre-workouts if you're ever interested in those.

[@joelleolol]

i very much appreciate you focusing on health over appearances

[@BonytoBombshell]

Wow! Thank you so much for recommending our program/articles! That means so much to us :D

[@line_maiara]

Hi, Asia!!! I am from Brazil !!! I'm learning English with your videos. And nothing better than having self-care. Thank for this video!!! I'll see you in the next video, PEACE!!!!

[@Mysticqueen112]

For soreness I recommend BCAAs you can get some and drink it during your workout and after, they are lifesavers ☺️ Also you might hurt yourself lifting in those shoes, get some converse! They are flat and the safest for lifting

[@beatriztavares3805]

this is the first time i see a video like this. Thank you, thank you so much. Been dealing with the same my whole life. Some people don't understand that gainning weight is as hard as losing to some. Thank you

[@daniellem.9165]

something that i learned when i started my health journey is that eating is the hardest part! some days i would over eat and others under eat depending on how i felt that day but going to the gym was never hard for some reason. i look forward to seeing your journey 💪🏼💜

[@annagrainger3234]

this is amazing. i’ve been in ed recovery for months now and really want to gain weight and take care of myself but putting weight on is really difficult for me personally, so seeing someone talking healthily and openly about weight gain is amazing ☺️

[@beepbobeep4594]

It's so interesting to see food from the perspective of someone who struggles to gain weight. It's very different to mine, who's trying to lose weight

[@sacharymateo1710]

ok being honest i really love you, you're an amazing person who isn't afraid of being honest and knowing when you need to change:) this video came in the perfect time for me, I will as well start my glow-up challenge! thank you

[@nial.6613]

i felt thiss and i’m taking this video as a sign to start my journey. i’ve always wanted to be the person to run early in the morning 🤞🏾

[@naturallyshaped]

Getting started is the hardest step, but yay to you and your goals. Wishing the best on your journey hun!

[@natalie06.s]

I am so happy that you made this video cuz i also have a problem with gaining weight and building muscle and on social media it isn't talked about enough. So thank you for the video

[@coffeenomilk]

OKAY IM HOPPING ON❤️

[@taymelanin717]

Yesss actually read that book (Atomic Habit) great read very informative and useful a book I can see myself picking up again for a refresher.

[@k1pepeo]

I just love you and your content! 🧡

[@Vi-gt2fk]

Today was my first day waking up at 6am and going to the gym. I just became a stay at home wife and I’ve been so bored and gaining weight so I neeeeded to get it together. I hope your journey goes great! 🤍

[@catherinachv8125]

oooh upcoming buff Asia era~ all my friends that weightlift seem to enjoy it so much, im more of a dancer but I do want to try it out eventually because they make it sound so tempting

[@lily0987]

I recommend doing a warm up and cool down when you workout. It’s important to do these because it moves the lactic acid from you limbs to your liver so it can be broken down. Without implementing this, it stays in your limbs causing that pain

[@veerose2063]

Yes! discovering how much I love - and how my my body (booty) LOVES weight lifting was a game changer for both mental/physical health! Thanks for sharing some inspo 🥰

[@harryeggins327]

So good to hear on my journey as well to gain weight and muscle. One tip don't focus too much on counting calories I get what u are doing same here just focus on eating 3 meals a day and snacks and not skiping meals that has helped me

[@klh6977]

Definitely pineapple on pizza!! Yes! Highly recommend Quest protein cookies too. Sometimes I put a layer of peanut butter on it also to fill me up a bit more.

[@ZoeysMusings]

That intro was like you giving a description of where I'm at🥺Here for your journey because Lord knows I need to be on it too 😁😩

[@i123456987654]

yeah, i've read that book

[@giovannaettorre8540]

Sososo INSPIRED by your changes Asia. Keep it up queen!! 😍

[@oratilemokoka6695]

I was reading a devotion today and it spoke about not complaining and start doing and then your video was recommended when I entered KZbin❤️I’m gonna subscribe now👌🏾

[@RwAllstar29]

Never watched your videos before, I’m 30 seconds in and wow, that hit hard. I am done with all those mentioned too, bring on the glo up girl, it sounds like we both need it. Within 30 seconds, I subscribed. That’s all it took girl. Do me proud. Edit: I finished the video, and I’ve never related more to a human being in my life.

[@NessxStyle]

I've been feeling the same exact way lately! I have a small stomach too so been experiencing the same experiences/symptoms as you esp when it comes to eating. Been thinking about making some lifestyle changes as well so this video gives me motivation! I'm excited to see your progress! ❤

[@Ingrid-cv2cw]

It's sooooooooooo hard for me gaining weight too, I'm so happy that you started in the gym it gives me confidence. Don't judge my English I'm still learning ❤️✨ thank you 💪🏾 I just started in gym too. Just one week. And it's so intimidating

[@rosmelaineventura8857]

I’m on minute 2 and omg… it’s me. It’s so me that I wanna cry. You’ve inspired me.

[@jordynburton6056]

Girl, thank you. You're really inspiring me 💐

[@michelleperez987]

stretching really helped with soreness! stretching in the morning will really help

[@lxvor8225]

the title and thumbnail drew me in. Loving the positivity and self love! Im craving it myself. New subscriber!

[@taelair]

I literally was just telling myself how I need to get my life together, this video def helped me get an idea of where to start. Thank you!! wish you the best of luck girl💗

[@meg3839]

Yay, weightlifting. You might love Russian style kettlebell, since I saw some KBs where you workout. It's great for your back and posterior chain muscles, booty perk-erlator (I also have scoliosis). Aside from swimming and dancing, it's my favorite way to workout, every since the 90s, and I love the psychological benefits too. And if you struggle to open jars. It helps with that too lol. It's super great for strength, stamina, cardiovascular, flexibility and lean-looking muscle. Kettlebell might just be the most fun and effective workout for me, and that's while having ADHD lol. I always feel amazing after and you can keep workouts short and sweet. I find it entertaining, even with ADHD and pretty exhilarating too. It's also a great way to get good cardio in with certain moves when done right, rivaling going for a run in far less time. And it's pandemic/lockdowm proof and can even act like as a cheap, compact, at-home gym. I do, however, recommend using at least 12 lbs or more, which even my 74 mother can handle. 15-18lbs is ideal for female beginners though, but do what you can. It's usually 15-28 pounds for women, but many can do more. It's also highly important to study up on and to practice moves through trusted sources, especially when doing kettlebell swings, which are pretty fun and really effective, kettlebell cleans, snatches. You can find sources online or see a Russian Kettlebell instructor, since they're big on proper form. My favorite KZbin sources for tutorials for swings and online workouts are Pavel Tsatsouline, Training Hub, Zuska Light, Mark Wildman, Lauren Brooks and a few others. I also like Body Fit by Amy, Training Hub, shortcircuit_fitness, Fitness Blender and Heather Robertson have decent workouts for kettlebell too, but are still working on form lol. It's good to just keep in mind that not all instructors know how to use a kettlebell or do a swing, so be careful lol. Moves like the kettlebell swing are a ballistic movement, where the power comes from you butt, hamstrings, and for mostly not your arms. Its similar to a hip home or deadlift - not a squat, as one to many instructors tend to do while using your arms. If you see them squatting or lifting with arms to lift the KB, move to someone else lol. The arms meteor act as sort of a pendulum but don't do much work in a swing. Some crossfit tours also lift out above their heads, which is fine, but it can hurt you and it changes the move and effect/ benefits of the swing when done vs lifting to hip or chest height, as commonly seen with Russian Kettlebell. Another good muscle training and ballistic cardio workout like kettlebell swings with similar benefits is the rowing machine. Kettlebell also let's you do plenty of other weightlifting moves but also works stabilizer muscles.

[@hellocaecie]

You got this Asia! Also, for some reason I feel like you should start a bookclub.

[@Sasha_xo]

Omg everything that you listed in the beginning is everything I have too! This video just motivated me to make some changes ❤️

I have always described my arms as weak twigs, and I realized I LOVE weightlifting because it makes me feel like I’m getting stronger as I go up in weight! It’s empowering 😄

[@heyitskalaya]

Congrats to you to make the changes you need and working towards a better you going through the same thing I will be watching your series 💕💕💕🤍

[@alyshajohnson1515]

[@haileyd2874]

hiii, i’ve done a lot of research in health and a way to help with the nausea (if you’re still struggling) is slowly upping and changing your life style

[@kennediealeese]

[@chima1638]

That realisation that you've likely never eaten enough really hits you like a punch in the gut lolol I remember that feeling like it was just yesterday. But here's to weight gain 🍺

[@K-wx6ki]

what is your target calorie goal? not sure if you mentioned? just curious :) Also love your nails - are they acrylics or ur natural nails

[@kathix526]
