If these videos keep getting made, it will make my senior year a breeze.

[@Leebull3]

Im also there right now paul. Quit smoking, quit drinking. Eating clean af. Being active. Moving and keeping those consistent habits is whats gunna help us live long and young brother keep it up.

[@sebwimedo]

Man this actually hit home a bit for me. I've been feeling pretty crap for most of this year. I know I drink too much, I should eat better, and exercise more. I'm with you P Rod

[@ElNicopewpew]

bahah same here, lets do it.

[@nlrider]

Same boys

[@yallass9992]

Let's get it brothers check back in a month I'm 190 rn

[@OceanVibartions]

Yeah boys! Time to clean up the temple! Feel what life is actually about and stop consuming, numbing and distracting yourself from the truth braaaa

[@stunnathegod1671]

Came across this series when I needed it the most too , time for that life reset ! End the years strong playas. Shout-out the god PROD for the inspiration 🍾🛩

[@talonmathis8397]

When Paul said it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@wolfchapz7669]

Been skating 24 years and following PROD virtually the whole time

[@LeanZima]

Paul you’re speaking out loud what a lot of people think but are too scared to admit and say out loud. Props to you man, thank you for this Inspired me to take my ‘reset 30’ more seriously

[@WolfWould]

Half are younger than PRod and half of us are older but all inspired exactly the same! I always love seeing a warm up and off day from the highlights of skate careers, makes us feel normal about being old and broken and still trying to skate whatever we can.

[@moudly]

That end hit me hard. I've been like that since my ankle injury 3 years ago. I really need to put in the work to get back to what I was and can be. Been skipping contests, shows, alllll because I'm embarrassed of where I've put myself in life and I don't want anyone to see me. Thanks for being so open. I can't believe I came across this today. Be blessed. Good luck. Keep up those prayers.

[@SchwappSchwopp]

0:23 For Paul and everyone else with achilles pain: I had the exact same achilles pain for over a year, hurts like 1000 little needles pushing right into the achilles right? Pretty sure it is insertional achilles tendonitis in your case aswell. This video helped me: James Dunne - If your Achilles tendonitis isn't healing. Loading the tendon has helped me a lot, I combined it with eccentric calve exercises after a while. Of course I did other things on a regular basis too and still do all of this: foam rolling the calve and the arch, stretching the whole back chain like calves and hamstrings and butt. Eating a lot of healthy stuff, much protein, good carbs and fats, supplementing omega3 and vitamin d3+k2 Since then I added to my routine: Full body workouts to maintain my overall fitness and workouts focused on mobility and stability. Still Focusing on vegatables and fruits and high quality food in general, it speeds up recovery! I also stretch after every session, I'd really suggest that to everyone, way less soreness the next day! I exchanged my pre skateboarding coffee with a supplement which contains caffeine + theanine. The theanine counters the caffeine restlessness and gives you a calm focus - lower risk of injury during the session. I also stop when I feel I get too exhausted (wasn't able to do that for like 15 years, I'd just continue as long as I could skate) - also lower risk of injury during the session. If you are injured, skate some cupsoles for a while and maybe get yourself some orthotic insoles if you can afford them. Over here in germany health insurance pays for it fortunately.

[@Entreri187]

Thanks for this, have it from running, and it won't go away I'm going to try this!

[@SchwappSchwopp]

@@Entreri187 you're welcome, I struggled for a long time too, hope it helps! Keep me posted!

[@davidreid2092]

Nice. I just finished working on my fatherly physique( turning into a fatass) and I'm gonna work on eating right and stretching afterwards. Thanks for the info.

[@joecapuano5343]

Thank you so much P-Rod for this video. This hit home for me too. As a 24 year veteran skater your routines mean so much to be a better person, skater and overall great human being. You probably hear this all time but ever since “In Bloom” your talents are extraordinary! Keep ripping! 🤘

[@Prod84skate]

Thank you Joe for your service

[@christopherlopez2491]

As a 34 year who has spent the last year plus not really skating because of school, I needed to see this. This is very inspirational. I Grew up watching you. I fuckin love what you do. Thank you for everything !

[@TechkNEiK]

I really appreciate seeing the struggle and the battle for a trick. Gets me pumped to skate and reminds me it takes work much love especially for a 33 year old.

[@JanickRubira]

Gracias Paul

[@Apr0x1m0]

I just turn 39 and suffer from multiple long term injuries and everything you said resonated with me. Thanks for sharing and being a great inspiration! You are Legendary!

[@mattd1659]

Same. I’m 35, both knees and my left ankle are wrecked. Add on life responsibilities and it feels like I’m starting from scratch each time I go skate!

[@TomAtencio]

This is a powerful realization and I hope we can all find the strength to make the necessary adjustments to feel like the best versions of ourselves. Good luck Paul. Rooting for you

[@SupremeKy0]

I freaking love Manny bro I feel like you can’t be negative if he’s around he just so positive and supporting. Love ya manny. Prod you a legend baby get that pep in ya step back rooting for ya 🤙🏽

[@johnnyt8343]

Since city starz I have seen you grow and looked up to you as a skater and as a person and you have never failed to impress me with who you are Paul. I wasn’t going to hit the gym today and now ima hit the gym right now on this Friday evening

[@Ismlagjr]

Fractured my pelvis, spine, and sternum. I really want to come back strong and skate harder than ever before but it’s definitely been hard lately. Thank you for inspiring me and many others! You guys got this!! 🔥

[@haugenx]

5:35 You did your filmer so wrong LMAOOO

[@deadruss7574]

I’ve been on a road to recovery myself after 3 years absolute hiatus. I have been blaming my lack of skating on everything else but me: unideal board set up or shoes, no time, no energy, all that jazz. Couple months I skated and it was the best day of my year. I’ve been skating every couple days since and it’s been amazing to learning how the body doesn’t every really forget what it’s able to do-it just needs a reminder. You have inspired me since the first time I saw you back in 01/02. Today you’ve inspired me to take my journey back into skateboarding more seriously, and behave more healthily. Thank you for everything you are Paul.

[@Rickytapia1k]

The fact this guy has been skating since I was in my early teens and I’m 2 years from 30.. and still active what a legend.

[@LucasSouza-kn4lb]

DONT you ever dare yourself saying your trash or shit again. Im brazilian and 27 and since my 14s Ive been whaching you and inspiring by you, your the fucking legend of skateboard, history dont get erased.

[@jerrybosify]

I love the whistle at the nollie front heel at 2:21. I like that no matter how good they get, skaters are skaters and will appreciate a simple trick done beautifully.

[@itmeurdad]

Turned 36 a few days ago. Horrendously out of shape. Unquestionably the worst shape of my life and dramatically overweight. Almost certainly obese. Eat like crap, don't exercise, sleep is horrible. I don't care much about being fat, but I hate the way I feel, especially because I was in pretty good shape for the vast majority of my life. Used to skate all day every day, but now I huff and puff tying my shoes. I know I need a reset of my own but I've been struggling to find the motivation for years. It's especially difficult remembering how far I've fallen and knowing full well I could have prevented it so many different ways at so many points. To put it mildly, I am disappointed in myself. Thanks for sharing the start of this journey, and being vulnerable for so many p-rod. Yet another item on the long list of inspirational feats.

[@itmeurdad]

Just pushed my board around the neighborhood for the first time in months. Thanks again for the lift p-rod.

[@Chris-xk9op]

Broke my ankle and lost all my sponsors. Ended up focusing on my business ventures skating here and there but overall not focused. Tore sone ligaments on my other ankle 2 years ago (over the most basix flatground) and have been saying the same thing "ill get back to it" without any real plan. Im with you man. Time to start getting back to it. Shit i dont plan on going pro or diwn the AM route again. But skateboarding has always brought me joy and it sucks when you feel unbalanced on the board.

[@HaveAnother775]

Yep, Im 42...skateboarded my whole life...Im not stretchin, not eatin right, not working out, not enough water....I've been saying this same thing for weeks and I just came across P-Rod saying the same thing...im inspired...lets go

[@CrazyCow500]

Literally started my betterment journey four days ago. Let’s go!

[@yaelramirez8089]

This is giving me motivation I need to make en effort to make the best of me this video was the best timing in my life appreciate it

[@Prod84skate]

You got this

[@Cus27l]

Every word you said spoke directly to my soul. I've been trying to kick alcohol, I was literally gonna go and grab some. After watching this how can I? Thanks for the inspiration, the Lord really does talk through you 🙏

[@JoeyBriggs11]

Paul, it’s crazy how we match when it comes to getting your shit together. I got you man. I’m with you on becoming physically better.

[@chakrabeatzv3100]

Thanks bro, much appreciated.. can’t wait for the comeback sending you positive vibes

[@mathieulessard470]

I'm 35, it's 2am in Montreal and I'm watching Life Reset. Just got back on a Skate, this december, from a 20 years mostly off. I was a bit frustrated at my 180pounds and weak bones and muscles.. Watching it is motivating me to do the same. You're not doing it alone just so you know, I'll follow your footsteps. Thanks for the opportunity 🙏🙏🙏 We both gonna be changed it a month!

[@randymarsh151]

I just got back on the board over the winter too, after 15 years off. Muscles hurt now that never use to, my stamina is less and recovery time is longer. It gets frustrating for sure but you just gotta keep on pushing! I swapped french fries for vegetables and cut back on the coffee. Added more stretching to the routine too. Good luck man!

[@90sskateboarder27]

If I only had one wish in the world it would be to never get old.... since I turned 44 in July skateboarding has been dangerous and scary. I'm from the early 90's era of skateboarding and the love is always there but my body is changing but my mind can do the tricks....... fakie heelflips all day!!!!

[@WellnessAlchemist1]

hol shit man i had a feeling u were down but didnt wanna say nothin cause its not my business, great for u to do the things that are gonna make u happy, healthy, fit, and positive! I recently started hitting the gym 4-5 days a week, drinking smoothies ever other day, drinking a gallon of water, eating better, and getting better sleep. Such a better equality of life!

From Holmes MS to buyin homes you living the dream on cruse control! keep on keepin on.

[@AfroTattedAmericano]

Paul, I don’t know how much you read your comments but you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations in skateboarding and I’m 22 now and a girl dad myself. I just feel like you should do a small little “tour” thing and go around and help out places that don’t have skateparks. I live in a small area in Pennsylvania and there’s no skatepark around, there’s always rumors about us getting a park in but it never happens. I don’t know, I just feel we need a pro or somebody that knows skateboarding to contribute a park build in places where they don’t have anything except a few street spots where we get kicked out constantly. Thank you brotha!! Good luck with the changing too man💯💪🏽

[@KNXYGEN]

This is motivating, and empowering. You and SM got this bro!

[@bb6.v]

Thank you for still skating P.Rod I live in Pacoima and grateful for what you have done for the skate community

[@spaceboy1326]

This video came out at a time when I myself am at a point where I’m trying to get myself back together. I haven’t been the same person that I was last year, I truly need to see this. Thank you and good luck can’t wait to see the results.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

Much love and respect to you and your channel Paul Rodriguez. I hope that all is well for you and your family and friends and I hope that all of your dreams and aspirations come true and that you are safe during your travels and adventures and skateboarding and while recording your videos and going live on KZbin.

[@someuser8746]

i have the same feeling, i feel like i'm gonna change my life but it will be on monday 😄 but every monday nothing happens, i just replace it to next monday but this video increased my "desire to be better" and i feel motivated

[@YouKnowTheBiz]

And your not the only one feeling that way thanks for the motivation Paul discipline and consistency is what I’m lacking to be the best of myself I feel a weight or something but if you can do it I can aswell

[@AforArtie69]

The grunting Paul makes with every attempt was entertaining, love you Paul

[@NoahGower]

I did the same thing at the beginning of this month. No alcohol, no sweets, no soda. I've broken the sweets rule only out of necessity (low blood sugar), but I'm hoping by next month skating will be a lot better and more fun without any sort of comfort food or drink. 12 days in so far, doing pretty well, feels like I've lost some weight. Good luck Paul.

[@josiahamaze]

Same Paul SAME bro im with you!! August 11th is the date today. I'M DOWN. Amen, brother, let the Lord guide our steps!

[@Ferrett_420]

Paul you always been the goat I’m glad to see you doing this for yourself I believe in you 100% you got this can’t wait to see you ripping and feeling like you again either way to me your still a LEGEND

I can't stress enough how important it is to have goals, even short-term goals lead to long-term accomplishments

[@johngrimble3050]

You got this Paul! I cut alcohol and coffee completely 6 years ago, no regrets. Like waking up feeling great. AG1 actually helps with energy.

[@astreet339]

P-Rod your like a fine wine, just get better with time!

[@heartshapedfilms]

Motivational for sure just got made redundant. I am fatter and heavier than i was and my skating hasnt been the same since i cant remember when. Struggling to go for a run this morning and this has helped. Looking forward to seeing how this goes and joining along side you PRod.

[@Prod84skate]

You got this Chris small steps daily and create small goals for yourself as well

[@enjoy_the_board]

Hell yeah, Paul. We’re the same age but I’m nowhere near the skater you are. I’m with you on turning shit around. I don’t have as many resources as you but I do have a Hypervolt, Hypersphere, massage chair. I’m gonna drink more water, eat better and pay attention to what my body needs. You got this 🤜🏻

[@andrewcruz8470]

Great, that's gonna be a great journey. I'm enjoy the good process transformation, ups and downs and whatever happens.

[@jempanuncialman9361]

Go! P-Rod i believe in you, just stay relaxed don' rush, stay calm.😊

[@joaquinmartinez796]

Unfortunately I feel this to my core. This is like some synchronicity type stuff. My sign to get it together. Sleep is wack diet is wack and I skate maybe 2 days out the week now on some lazy shit. Imma join you on this reset. Much love homie thanks for the motivation!!! Don't forget to smile and tell ur peeps you love them

[@Steezo_Romero]

This resonates with me, big time. I always feel like I can be better/ skate better. But then I eat shitty, drink alcohol, don't sleep like I should. I'm watching this on the 14th so I'm going to do what Paul's doing till the 14th of September. Thanks for the inspiration Rod-father.

[@NuclearSkateCult]

I'm turning 30 next month and I'm going to be doing 30 day challenges for myself every month until I turn 31. Videos like this are straight motivation!

[@Dracus]

God bless you prod I’m in it with you! You’re already better than most for wanting to make a change. I’m doing the same in my life so it feels good seeing you on the same stuff

[@allstopblue5717]

The insanely consistent kickflip crooks are bonkers to me. I personally can’t even fathom that level of skating

[@DrakeElliott]

Hyped. In the middle of a knee injury rn. Trying to RICE every day. By the time you finish your month challenge if I dont need surgery I should be back mobile. Gonna be inspired to bounce back fsho!

[@LouiDali]

Been lovin prod since I was a kid and used to skate, now i just love the type of person he seems to be, layed back and down to earth. Love watching him skate or tell stories and i dont even skate anymore

[@dannybarber2361]

You’ve always been my hero since real young this truly inspiring and motivating not to let our selfs sink in a whole mentally and physically for whatever reason .. our mind is strong enough to over pass it with hard work and dedication 🙏🙌 love ya paul you got this 👍

[@DaleRogers7]

I love watching you. One of my favorite sneakers was the PRod 1. I wish they would brung those back along with the 3’s and the 10’s.

[@keepinupwithkingleo]

I know what you need Paul and because you’re one of my favorite skaters I’ll spill the beans. You seem to be dealing with a hormonal imbalance issue which naturally happens when some guys get older. You most likely have a bit more estrogen flowing through your body than you should now that you’re up in age. Symptoms of high estrogen in men include muscle weakness, tiredness, low energy, fatigue, lack of drive and most of all body fat that is VERY hard to get rid of. You should look into estrogen blockers if you want to feel like your old self again.

[@InterestedNCompounding]

We’re glad to hear this. The alcohol & crappy food def makes it take longer to heal up and leaves you sore longer.

[@edwardresutek1211]

You are an inspiration. I used to skate, Im 32 but in the shape of a 70 year old. I keep saying I'm gonna comeback but keep making excuses.

I just got the P-Rod Naruto deck. I'm stoked. My favourite skater, its my first time being able to get a P -rod board. I live in a small town without a skate shop, it closed down. Im 33 now and coming back, getting my legs and tricks back and even though you fall and eat shit its healthier then doing nothing.( I fell into a brick wall corner, devastating rock hung me up lol) Im biking to the b ball court tomorrow , playing ball and skating. Get them flippy tricks good n clean. P-Rod you were always my fave skater! God bless.

[@timpetzold6110]

If you have the same achilles issues as me, stretching right at the ancle will just put more stress on the tendon. What helped me was static exercises raising my heels off the ground + negative movements and stretching the upper part of my calf. You got it, goat! 💪

[@HithisisDevin]

Yo this has inspired me to do a 30 day life reset to better myself too so great job! This is so sick.
