Who else gets a sweet tooth after eating?
I'm surprised Dr. Berg didn't mention rebounding with a mini-trampoline, since he covered this in a video about five years ago. I leave mine in the living room so it's hard to forget to bounce for ten minutes a day, which is equivalent to 30 minutes of jogging. The best part is that it doesn't even feel like exercise - it's like play time!
How about hitting 3 goals at once!! 15 minute walk+15 minutes in nature (wellbeing)+ 15 minutes in sunlight (VitD+++) ♥♥♥
Dr Berg's content is a blessing! 🙏
i really hate the gym.. but i'm falling in love with calisthenics. been doing 100 burpees for almost 70 days now.. best decision ever. also added pull exercises now..
I am a Therapeutic Massage Therapist. I work hard because I have to be in strange positions and hold points for a long time multiple times a day. What i have begun doing is when I am bending over, pressing my elbow in someone's glute or hamstring, I find a way to stretch myself while I do it. Because I constantly am using my muscles, most of me is extremely muscular. I have been doing this job for over 25 years, I have no arthritis. I do have other injuries that complicate my ability to work out, so I do what I can, and it has helped a lot! I work 5 to 8 hours a day, for 3 to 4 days a week. I am 58. My philosophy for myself is that I refuse pain and illness. By hell or high water I will find a way to fix myself and so far I have been able to. Dr. Berg's advice and knowledge has been key. His teachings are very much like how my train was from my mentor as a healer. He has helped me heal myself several times.
Really appreciate how you explained that the goal isn’t ‘exercise’—it’s daily movement you can stick to. That’s what actually creates long-term health.
Excellent video! I still use an old broomstick I salvaged from a dumpster for the 10-minute postural fascia routine you shared last year. I even made a rule for myself: never let it go to zero — never have a day where I do zero exercise. If I haven’t done my posture/fascia work yet, that broomstick practically stares me down before bed until I do it! Your channel has been such a steady source of support and practical wisdom. Thank you for making videos that truly help.
Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements.
There is no way I’d ever go to a gym again. I work from home full time, with a very busy schedule. If I don’t waste time on commute, I’m certainly not wasting time dressing up (I work all day in a t shirt) and driving to the gym. I do a HIIT workout after my morning coffee, and then shower, and start my day straight. I feel so so fortunate for my full time WFH arrangement. I voluntarily took a job that pays $50k less than my previous one - completely worth it for the WFH arrangement!!
