The TRAINING YOUR BODY DESPERATELY NEEDS + DIY Rings

[@jasminweber8119]

I love how your message emphasizes that women should focus on staying healthy and functional through training, rather than achieving a certain look or aesthetic.

[@cheangaroo]

There was no mention of “women” but I get what you mean. Women are more conscious of their looks.

[@fnd6813]

@@cheangaroo​​⁠​​⁠ It's not that "women are more conscious about their looks", it's that they are socially judged to have a certain body and physical appearance.

You know, to be totally honest with you, i thought that you talking so much about the rings was for promoting them or something (like your own brand or a sponsor, which is so common on social media now). But i was wrong. You are genuinely explaining and helping out, giving every information from the reasons, to the homemade rings, to the full workout thought for every category of people. That is truly so sweet. Thank you. I mean it.

[@eakmadashma]

Unreal how quality your content is. Every shot, cut, edit, background research, putting the work in, presentation, script writing, speaking tone, music choice, skill and progression programming. It's just insane how well everything is done.

[@danceofthedragonbydavidlee]

HelloMeli, I'm 75 and I live in Bali. I teach qigong and a few months ago, noticing a decline in my body strength, I bought some rings and started training, I've noticed a dramatic increase in my strength and stability from training just a few months. You've absolutely awakened my imagination in this video and I really appreciate how literate your presentation is. I might just have to break down and buy some rings from you the next time I know someone's coming this way from AUS because shipping things to Indonesia is such a drag. Very inspiring video.

[@dragonfruit1586]

I think it's awesome that you differentiated simply going to the gym (or staying at home) and functional training that includes both movement and flexibility. Staying healthy shouldn't be complex! It just comes down to staying active, training stability, and working to become more flexible. 💪

[@TauqeerKhanify]

While I love how she explains things, but what I admire more is the subtle Aussie twang, and her camera work, its solo work but lighting and angles show a deep artistic vein. It’s a talent.

[@winteress1214]

[@Luke97979]

Meli, after +6 years of following/watching "fitness-youtube", I have to say that your content is one of the best I ever watched. Your approach is perfetly different: less stressed, more facts and above all creating meaningful content without generating clicks by displaying body parts! Keep it up, greetings from germany 😊

[@nopenope9945]

I'm male in 40s 235 lbs and about 9% body fat. I take a lot of different hormone compounds to "look" good but also to feel good. Some of those compounds and their quantities are absolutely riding the line of permanent injury to internal organs. I bought rings based on this one video alone. I just watch and try to duplicate. I feel so much more at peace than at the gym trying to tear my body down. I've GAINED lean mass and strength since adding your routine 2 or so weeks ago and it is fun and even spiritual. If I typed how much I added to my fly's and mil press nobody would believe it but this is the only thing I have changed. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

[@thatrabbit09]

I love how the video isn't merely informative but raises awareness too, on top of that, very fun, intriguing, and well made. You just made me fall more in love with calisthenics. Thank you for your channel 💙

[@elintilia2790]

Super impressed with the production value of the video and the quality of information presented! I started calisthenics in 2020 when I was looking for a way to move while cooped up at home. I'm in my mid thirties but feel fitter than I ever was in my 'prime'. I wish more people knew about this.

[@Hannah7Banana]

A mix of calisthenics, pilates, weight lifting, and cardio has worked really well for me. And I've managed to do all of that from home with simple 30 minute at home workouts. I also do stretching every day and I make sure to include static, active, dynamic, and even some ballistic stretching. Currently I am working on ankle mobility because that is something I have lost after I quit gymnastics and started figure skating which the boots hold your foot in one position for hours on a slightly raised heel. And jumping in boots that were not correctly fitted to my feet left me with early osteoarthritis in my right ankle and knee. (The leg I was landing on and taking impact) I'm hoping that my young joints and body can eventually heal my ankle and knee so I can do stuff like running and jumping again because rn it's painful to do so. Thank you for this video, I currently don't have any calisthenics equipment but maybe I will invest in some rings :)

[@veautae]

the editing, the quality, the knowledge??? YOU ATE IT!!

[@lavi0111]

What an intelligent person.. realising what is best for the body instead of copying others

[@DILLIGER90]

I started working out with rings last summer and have seen incredible results, in fact never have I been able to progress to the point I am now (I have tried training at a gym with weights for a couple of years, and have trained muay thai unprofessionally for another two) but I still have a lot to learn. It never ends, but if you keep showing up, you keep progressing. I just wanted to state that while Meli's content is absolutely incredible and if you can spare the money to support her you absolutely should, if you are short on cash you can probably get wooden rings much cheaper. I got mine for less than 30 euros, I don't know what wood they're made from and to be fair her rings do look like higher quality, but the workout is the same and they still feel in my grip like the first time I grasped them. Again, I think Meli deserves all the success and support and I'm a big fan, but sadly in the world of today money is an issue and I know that someone with a similar financial situation to mine would be put off by the price. Don't let that keep you from getting a pair, these things can truly transform your health and body.

[@mugutege]

actually started calisthenics because of your videos and still keep going, you're the coolest 🤍

[@archangel5723]

I bought myself a pair of rings about 6 months ago and have been training in them since. Best thing I ever did , I'm having so much fun training , I can carry them anywhere and have the whole gym in my backpack and , by doing just bulgarian dips , archer pushups , one hand rows , pullups , and stuff my chest and back are bigger than ever. Totally recommended.

I have to say, this program seems perfect for my needs. I do several thousand mile long bike tours, so my legs are strong, but I have outrageously bad posture, core and upper body strength. This routine is perfect for me, as it combines strength training with core, and dynamic movements, yet is portable enough to bring on my tours.. Also Yoga just doesn't cut it for me, as I need more scalable progression and dynamism to be worth it. Thanks so much for this Program, I'm excited to dive in! - Alchemist Biker

I hang ,move and stretch using rings and ropes all the time and find it so incredibly important for blood flow, mobility and posture. Your video was very informative and factual. I am happy to have found your channel.

[@wopspice]

I've had 5 shoulder reconstructions and watching some of the movements you do with your shoulders is incredible. I have rings, both at home and at the gym but I have to be very careful with my range of motion because if I go too far or put too much pressure on a shoulder, it can dislocate (particularly my right). Also, from all of the dislocations I've had, I tend to guard my shoulder quite a bit and won't let it go past certain points...like watching you twisting and moving your arms back and behind you had me cringing. I tend to stick with machines at the gym like the smith machine because it limits my range of motion and makes the movement more stable - plus I can add the safety stops as I've dislocated my shoulder at the gym and having a weight fall on you is no fun. I've been trying to figure out ways to increase my ROM so thank you for the video.

I love this video, it answers so so many questions I've always had that were never answered in a way that satisfied me. I was anxious with the idea of 'exercising' since all the information I find tends to sound like its just based on barely tested theories. Questions like "doesn't training on machines train u only for limited movement?" "How do you workout for flexibility as well as strength without them clashing?" and those were usually answered with something like, "Just start now so u can see your body change sooner." which felt like being dragged into a cult, or persuaded to sign a contract u haven't read.
