Q&A || Why/when I started working out? Do I take supps? Do I drink? +more!!

[@natachaoceane]

Hey lovelies!! I'm already making a video about metabolism and how to increase your calories if you feel you've been in a deficit for too long but do you want to see a video about my past relationship with food and binging? Let me know below

[@1519sara]

Natacha Océane yess please😍!!

[@charlottech9990]

Natacha Océane 👍🏻🏃🏻‍♀️

[@ournextclimb]

yes pls!!!! :-)

[@beatrizsimoes7581]

Sounds amazing, Nat!

[@JennaLP17]

Yes please!! I seriously need help with this :)

[@ms.bradshaw]

you are quickly becoming one of my favorite KZbinrs! Keep it up!

[@natachaoceane]

Aww thank you Allaina!! I will do!! xx

[@RolfLoshX3]

I love how passionate you are about studying. Best of luck with your start up, it's very admirable :D loved the video as per!

[@natachaoceane]

Aww thank you! I can't wait to tell you all about it closer to the time! I am nervous though, it's very new for me! xx

[@katjam8672]

I love how natural you are and look awesome af. I mean there are so many fitness youtuber out there that promote a fit lifestyle, yet they rely on supplements, gain a lot of weight ins their off seasons and hardly get their micro nutrients in. ( I mean I still love a lot of them but it's not really relatable and more entertainment rather than life tips =) ) So I really appreciate your approach to your fitness lifestyle. I think it is so much healthier and sustainable for the average young woman. So big big thanks for everything =) Lots of love from Germany

[@beatrizsimoes7581]

I loved this! The studying bit really got to me, it's such a mature way to look at prioritization, just wow! Thank you

[@natachaoceane]

You're welcome Beatriz, I mean every word and would prioritise exams way over working out! Are you studying at the moment? xx

[@beatrizsimoes7581]

Working my way to law school! =)

[@emokid6944]

I went from 250-130 in two years it took years and a lot of hard work I love you so much I’ve been watching you throughout those years and you’ve motivated me so much and informed me as well! Much love from Texas 💓💓

[@tammycovell805]

I am so glad I found your channel!!! I love all of your advice on health and fitness :) keep up the good work! Also, looking forward to the metabolism video and how to increase calories!!!

[@natachaoceane]

Thank you Tammy! I'm so glad you found me too!! Stay tuned for next week xx

[@dawnjohnson5657]

Thanks for the in depth answers! Can't wait for the metabolism video coz I'm strugglin with this myself x

[@natachaoceane]

You're welcome Dawn! I'm glad you appreciate it!! Hang on in there, will be up next week xxx

[@sophiamorris5038]

You are inspirational in so many ways. The way you discussed your studies resonated with me so much because I am going through something very similar at the moment as well. I also love how functional your workouts are and how you design them to make you a better/more capable athlete. I have found that, when I work out for functionality vs. asthetics, I enjoy my workouts so much more. Thank you for such amazing content. You are loved for sure! ❤️

[@SunnyGummyBunny]

I am so glad that I found your channel! It has helped me stay motivated, because whenever I watch one of your videos I instantly want to work out. Also your healthy relationship with food is something that I aspire to have one day. I guess I just wanted to say thank you :)

[@Something2tacobout]

I've been recovering from knee surgery and your videos are not only entertaining me while I lay in bed... but motivating and making me excited to get fully recovered so I can start training! Thank you for making all of your videos!

[@manonwilliams5537]

Hey Natacha, I just wanted to say you’ve massively helped me out. I’ve struggled with a combination of various eating disorders. But, your videos helped me deal with them and learn to respect my body more! Thanks x

[@HaNguyen-zk5gf]

Hi Natacha, I'm a new subbie here. Since I started following you everywhere on Insta, KZbin, I have been binge watching your videos and honestly, I could relate so much and I feel like you're such a good friend even if we don't know each other and I'm not even living near you lol. Your personality is great: humble, relaxed and encouraging at the same time. But now I'm gonna reveal it: the part where you said in this video that you tend to listen to 1 song repetitively until you kill it, I immediately thought "I'll follow you forever" lol. I know many people have that habit but it's like, my LIFE habit lol. Anw this is such a raw honest, touching and relatable video!!!! Keep up the good work.

[@Karlou-cp8gw]

What is your workout routine ? What do you do on Monday, tuesday etc ...

[@Moon_Puff]

Okay 1. That color looks so good on you! And 2. The part about studying vs training was very insightful. Too often people see their bodies as an enemy to fight against, rather than a partner to achieve their goals.

[@Natashaz48]

Yes! Please create a video showing your journey. You're inspiring and so real!

[@mesaanamaria]

Hi Natacha! I just wanted to say i discovered your channel recently and Im really inspired by your outlook on fitness and training. keep up the good work! love this kind of videos, I am a binging queen myself so would love to know how you overcame this.

[@natachaoceane]

Thank you Ana Maria, I hope it will be able to help you when I upload it! Lots of love x

[@emma0268]

I‘m so happy to see that you achieved so much and didn’t expect it

[@emilyaaliyah3484]

[@natachaoceane]

Thank you Isobelle you're so kind! Hope you're having a lovely day xx

[@hahahaha2142]

I might be the only one but i really like to see some none fitness contend from you. You seem to be pretty smart and really driven but that doesn't get through to much in most of your videos.

[@natachaoceane]

Thanks for your comment Marvin, the metabolism video will bring a little more science into it (: and I'm textbook smart - there's a screw loose in me when it comes to day-to-day activities lol!

[@jimmyakbar6780]

Happy to see your channel grow Natacha! Great work :D

[@natachaoceane]

Thank you Jimmy!! I really appreciate it!! Hope you have a lovely weekend!! x

[@natachaoceane]

You're very welcome Jenna!! Thanks for asking!! xx

[@misstinaa560]

You're seriously my favourite youtuber right now (and I feel like that's not gonna change in a while :D). I love you positivity and spirit and the way you're talking about fitness and improving yourself :) Today I calculated my macros and decided to start tracking them, slowly but surely, and see where it would take me. Pray for me and my few kgs extra 😂 Lot's of kisses from Croatia! Martina

[@leenie6629]

fantastic Q & A! i love how knowledgeable you are & that you represent a healthy & realistic lifestyle! id love to see the vlog on metabolism as i am in a calorie deficit every day due to lots of food allergies & also not being able to consume high calorie foods like bread,rice,grains & i am a pescatarian plus i train 7 days a week.would love more on advanced ab exercise videos & hiit workouts! i did your latest ab & leg workout on the weekend & i loved it! xx

[@tracymonique4159]

So happy I found your channel!! you're amazing 💞🙌

[@natachaoceane]

Thank you Monique! Hope you're having an amazing day xx

[@pamcake958]

At least now I know that I'm not the only person on earth who listens to the same song, on repeat, during my entire workout! Yay! Thank you, Natacha :)

[@smrits2]

Hi Natacha! I love your passion for fitness and studying. In your Q&A video you mentioned that you did not workout when you had exams coming up. Did you not work out at all or did you just do shorter and less frequent workouts? I have exams coming up and did not want to lose what little progress I've made but at the same time I feel guilty about not focusing enough on my studies. Will 15 minutes of HIIT 6 days a week be good enough to maintain the stamina and endurance that I've gained provided that I eat healthy?

[@leahoreilly9602]

Started watching your videos and following you recently, I love your positive attitude and you inspire me so much! I don't know where I'd be without out you in my life right now! Much appreciation❤❤❤

[@michellina.g]

[@imogenc107]

Do you have any tips on how to reduce fat percentage? I eat very healthily and work out 5 days a week, 2 days of that are cardio. My fat percentage is about 33% and it's really bothering me, I want it to be lower but I don't want to starve myself or do cardio everyday because it's just not sustainable for me. :)

[@chiaraangeliedelapena9620]

YOU'RE A FREAKING BIOCHEMIST??!! WOAHHHHHHHH

[@oliwiaolszewska4686]

Hi from Poland 😍😁 I love your films! ❤

[@natachaoceane]

Thank you Oliwia! Hi back from the UK (: xx

[@faveyess4471]

I regard so much that I haven't found you ealier. Your speak is so inspiring. I'm struggling with guilty of junk foods or too much calories. Also I used to fail in study when I started working out and I focused on clean eating. I can't manage to get awareness of what is important. and I have question btw ,How often you do cheat day? BC you preferuje cheat day than cheat meal ,yeah?

[@anr1146]

Hej Natacha! You are an inspiration. I love your videos and in my view you have the best bodybuilding-body. It's healthy strong and feminine. As I am now struggling to complete my mech engineering diploma your words help me a lot to not stress abt everything at the same time, just chill and focus on the diploma. I also see you as a second Better Kayla. She was eating too less in my view. Thanks and can't wait for more videos. I bought resistance bands because of u and will surely do more lifting. I hope I get faster with my running with that way too.:-)

[@natachaoceane]

+Aneta R hey Aneta! Thank you for your comment! Mech engineering! Awesome! Yes, focus on those exams and worry about your physique later. I didn't mention this in the video because i forgot at the time but for my final year of Biochem I didn't workout for 7 weeks. Of course I did put on some weight bcause I was also eating junk food a lot but I got a first and I'd do it again in a heartbeat to get that grade! And then once your exams are over, dedicate some time to get back into shape, I can help you if you like xx

[@kimberleym.5352]

You are such auch such a lovely girl inside and out!!! I'm just 😍😍😍

[@mariok6119]

GREAT VIDEO NATACHA it is great to understand more about you

[@natachaoceane]

Aww thank you so much Aravi!! Hopefully you'll get to know me even more along the way!!

[@globesquatterblog]

Ahhh just watched this! thank you so much for answering my question (nmorgan92). great answer! and yes we want it haha! but I agree, personal is much better than just a generic program!

[@anhelinalohvina5226]

You are so kind and lovely!

[@preciouspimentel]

Hey Natacha! I'm so glad I found your channel!! It's my first year in college and I've been trying to find more time (and mostly motivation) to workout at the student rec center. I really want to build up in strength and tone my body more. I really enjoyed kickboxing and my roommate and I have tried using the machines. However, I'm not familiar with using machines or even figuring out what a "good" workout should entail. What would you recommend for a beginner workout?

[@natachaoceane]

+Precious Pimentel hey! Awesome stuff about the kickboxing I'd love to try it!! Does your gym also have a squat rack? Squatting, lunging and deadlifting are really the only exercises I do that are weighted to build muscle (get toned) and are also great for strength. The machines I used after doing the compound movements I mentioned above. For upper body I have a beginner workout on my channel already but I'm not focusing too much on the machines and it's difficult to explain how to use each one because I don't know the specific machines you have at your gym. I was thinking of doing a 'guide to machines' video soon - would you find that useful? In terms of structuring your workout for any muscle group, I would do compound movements (using several muscle groups at once ie. Squat) first and really expend all of your energy here as this is where the majority of your overall strength is built and where you need to be fresh as technique is crucial. Then move on to compound exercises with the machines ie. Leg press and then isolating exercises on the machine ie. Leg extension. Finally if you want to add some core exercises do these at the end as well as any cardio or HIIT (: xx

[@preciouspimentel]

Hey Natacha! My gym does have a squat rack and it has multiple rooms for weightlifting. I'll definitely try to work on compound movements first and then working on the machines. Plus, 'a guide to machines video' would be really great because that'll help a lot especially since I almost messed up my knee since I didn't adjust certain things on the machines and I made a rookie mistake of locking in my knees instead of bending it an angle. 😅

[@elise9656]

Where is your top from?😍

[@Adrian-zu6tm]

so glad I found your channel!

[@natachaoceane]

+Hadrian yay! Me too! X

[@noellenuckels9046]

Hi Natacha! I just discovered your KZbin channel this week, and your videos are so thorough and informational and fun :D I start an at home resistance training workout; however, I am wondering if you had any tips on how to progress at home. I have 2, 5, 8, 10 lb hand weights, a 20 lb weight, and a 35 lb kettlebell, along with resistance bands and sliders. Just wondering if you had any recommendations on how to keep progressing at home. Or is it just easier to join a gym haha? Thank you :) I hope in 5 years that you are still making videos too!

[@ThtOneCrayCrayPerson]

I am only 17 and cannot afford to go to the gym.... what do you suggest for home exercise to stay healthy and/or get more toned? I've already been using KZbin for videos on exercising but I'm not sure if it will do me as much good as I'm looking for.

[@natachaoceane]

Hey! What are you looking for? Then I can tailor a better answer for you xx

[@ThtOneCrayCrayPerson]

Natacha Océane I think I just want to know if you think it is possible to achieve a toned (not necessarily muscular) body through non weight/equipment exercising. Since I don't have access to equipment, I just want to know if I can tone my body slightly.

[@ThtOneCrayCrayPerson]

Natacha Océane sorry if that's confusing. i'm not sure how to word it differently

[@neilag7749]

hi Rinnah i know it's a been a long time since you commented this but i just want to say that i know what you mean cos i'm in the exact same case (i'm 16) and for a start body weight workouts will help but once you get stronger they won't be effective,so you'll need to rise up the intensity,either by finding harder workouts or by using equipments,now i know you don't have any but for me ,i made my own homemade weights,which consisted of water bottles,milk jugs ,cans,even a ball and i would fill them with water as a start as much as i can,and once i'm stronger and need them to be heavier i fill them with sand,and then when i'm stronger i fill them with rocks,to increase their weight and there for,it becomes harder,i also tried once making a real lifting weight using a wood stick i found at our house,and filling two 5 L water jugs with water and put them on each side,it looks kinda weird but it's worth it!!! i hope this advise will be helpful and if things has been going well for you for the past 5 months then good luck and i'm happy for you

[@makaylaboren445]

Since we can both agree the peanut butter us an obsession, how do you eat it without it preventing your goals?

[@miepje998]

Would love if you could make a plan for me. Really like the idea of not just one big guide for just 10 weeks Or something :)

[@Evehihi]

Keen new subscriber - and just NOW realised that you were at Warwick! What year to what year? I did English at Warwick 2012-2015.

[@aliciaaurelius3207]

Loved this video. You have such a positive personality and it was nice to get to know a little bit more about your personal history. What happened to your medicine pursuit if you don't mind me asking?

[@natachaoceane]

Hey Alicia! Thanks for watching hun!! I didn't get in to any of my choices, my grades were the highest they could be but my school don't typically send students off to medicine and so didn't prepare us for the UKCAT or BMAT exams and it was those that let me down ): it's ok though, I don't think I would have enjoyed it in the end because I get very emotionally invested in people and I think I would have taken too much of the pressure! And I'm doing this now which I never thought I'd be able to do! Are you studying medicine yourself? x

I know you're not vegan, but would you ever consider showing a full vegan "what I eat in a day"? I think it's great that non-vegan fitness youtubers have been doing that lately for their veggie/vegan viewers!! Just a thought :) Have a great day! :)
