hi there this is ranit and this is going
to be a very different kind of a video
and actually I thought I will never make
this uh video but my actually daughter
told me to make this video because of
this video helps even one person I think
so it's worth it and I think so if you
are in your mid-30s and mid 4S you're
working professional and everything this
is very important to you and guys if you
recall in the past 7 8 months I was
simply just not putting out
a lot of videos and last couple of
months hardly any videos and I was not
well uh this is very difficult for me to
share but I think if this can Inspire
even one person it is worth it and uh
luckily now I am way way way fitter I
have recovered and I would say I'm the
fittest uh in the last 5 years as of now
I still haven't reached the target of my
fitness what I want but a lot lot lot
fitter when I was okay to give give a
background I was always a workaholic I'm
right now about 46.5 years old and I
started actually working when I was just
18 and a half from that time onwards
I've been just working and work is just
my first priority nothing else Health
whatever is nothing a priority it was
always work work work for me and about 2
and 1 half years ago I started to
actually have some cramps in my legs and
also stiffness in my
fingers okay whatever like showed to the
doctor whatever okay basically vitamin D
deficiency so took some those vitamin D
what do you say pills uh they come in
liquid okay they have more potency and
that got solved and again I just
continued my stuff just working working
working working I never exercised or
whatever and uh again last year also
again I had so again just took that
vitamin stuff and it solved the issue
okay solved and I used to always and if
you guys know I always wear a fitness
watch or a smart watch or whatever so I
always used to lie to myself and
generally every day I used to uh when I
see the steps at the end of the day it
used to always H between 7 to 8 and a
half thousand steps so I thought I'm
actually fit man I'm daily doing that 7
8,000 steps of walking but this is not
correct this is what I was lying to
myself because this walk whenever I get
a call or something I used to just take
the call uh what do you say while
walking or this this is not continuous
effort of walking or doing like that
this was just moving around uh here and
there here and there and daily it was
happening about 7 to 8,000 and I thought
this amount of steps if you take you are
generally considered healthy this is
something that I was lying to myself
I'll tell you why this is not
correct and uh again um and my health
again started deteriorating about uh uh
about 78 uh months ago again started
having that that hand stiffness in the
hand and all those things and the legs
also uh and I I actually started wearing
this Garmin watch about a year ago I
think so and the Garmin watch started
giving me warnings my V2 Max is actually
very very low it went it was down to
about 35 which is
again on the very low category my heart
rate variability again according to the
watch was not correct and my resting
heart rate uh was also very very high
which is not good generally uh your
resting heart rate should be actually
low the lower the resting heart rate the
that much fitter you are so this watch
actually started giving me warnings and
the readings all were going back come on
but again we ignore it I'm doing my
regular steps of 7 8,000 everyday
walking and all this things come on this
must be wrong and again some major
problems started happening about 5 to 6
months ago my hand pain and the fingers
became so bad still I have a little bit
of pain here it hasn't gone completely
uh but again it's a lot lot lot better
now if I have to say uh it became so bad
that even lifting a smartphone and just
swiping with a finger doing any task
with your finger was such a painful
experience it was like piercing pins in
your finger it became so bad and even
when I used to get up in the morning
from the bed just walking also my toes
used to hurt my legs used to hurt so
even doing basic stuff became a c again
I took those what do you say did some
x-rays this and all this thing nothing
is fine your bones are fine and
everything no issues again took the
vitamin D and the doctors gave me some
painkillers it was just temporary relief
now even those vitamin D pills were not
helping me that much and this became bad
and
bad in fact I would say
uh I might have fallen into depression
for about 40 45 days because it became
so painful doing anything just picking
up a
smartphone swiping any any task with
your finger even come on Roy if I
couldn't even
like it it was
painful uh and uh this continued and I
told to myself I have to come out of
this F nobody can help me those spills
and all those things will not help those
just painkillers and all those things
they make you drowsy and all those
things that's not going to help uh and I
just wrote down I would I'll just read
it I think so this was the darkest
moment during those couple of
weeks I felt
helpless I didn't feel like doing
anything cuz what's the point in life
you worked so much in your life and now
you can't even do basic things in your
life without being in so much
pain and if you recall during those last
couple of months I hardly put out any
video in fact if you guys follow me on
Twitter I'm really a chatty person I
didn't even tweet one month I think so
not even one tweet it was so
bad and work obviously got affected I
simply cannot work for example a video
which should take not more than 2 days
to make I was not able to finish it even
in two or 3 weeks your internal Mojo of
doing something just dies man
and this became very bad but luckily uh
in our community there is a what do you
say uh uh running group or whatever and
I see way older people going in morning
and me are way way fitter so I joined
there and they're very very welcoming
and uh I basically started doing this
morning jck and walk things and guys it
was so painful because uh even that one
one and a half kilometers walk and jalk
that I used to uh started doing was so
painful in the first 15 days because
simply your legs are hurting because
when I was even just walking it was like
pins pricking my legs because they was
they became so
stiff and uh so I just but started the
first 15 days were very very difficult
and uh I could hardly uh what do you say
uh jog or run uh for example they said
that okay just try jogging a little bit
and again this is slow jogging not fast
for about 1 minute and just walk for 4
minutes and so I continues doing this
but again uh they told no resting in the
middle so that's where I found the
difference okay doing this 6,000 steps
about 1 and a half to 2 km I used to do
about 5 5 and a half thousand steps was
more it was giving me a uh my body a lot
more workout than those uh 6,000 or
7,000 steps throughout the day it is the
continuity and continuation of doing it
and because we were I was doing it
continuously also my heart actually uh
what do you say uh I could feel I used
to gasp for what do you say a after just
running even 50 m I couldn't run more
than 50 m jog not run job uh because my
heart became because of all this
ignoring my health my heart had become
so weak uh but now luckily now after the
finally now I'm fitter I can easily run
for about 1.2 km without any issues and
in fact these days I do that morning
jogg and run for about 4 to 5 kilom so
huge difference hardly able to run not
even 50 m uh now I'm able to run
continuously for 1 and a half and do
that four or 5 kilometer of Jog and so
this actually has changed my life I
would say no pills no doctors I've sto
taking all the pills I don't even take
the vitamin D D what you say uh
supplements or whatever no supplements
or I've stopped everything it's just
that uh what do you say this morning
jogs and runs I've started doing and I
don't do this every day also I just try
to do it every week once about four
times and apart from those two or three
days that I'm not doing this I just do
the basic stretching exercise no gym or
anything so this has transformed my life
now I would
say I can uh I'm a lot more fitter that
pain that I was having in my fingers
everything in legs has gone has vanished
and I would say if you are in your
mid-30s mid4 days please do this put a
little bit more attention to your health
because we always think uh we know we
hear stories about it has happened to
this one this person got an heart attack
he's in mid-40s or whatever happened and
you always think man that will not
happen to me man I'm so fet and you are
just lying to yourself and don't let
something something happened to you then
you try fixing it because it's very very
difficult and painful I would say trust
me it was very very difficult for me but
finally I would I have come out and I
would say uh if this video inspired
someone if you're not doing any walks or
whatever in the morning start with
morning walks or something like that
easy Pace try to walk continuously don't
take rest in the middle for about 1 and
1 12 km then increase it slowly to about
2 km initially and you can wear any what
you say uh Smart Band or what which has
a basic pedometer and just time uh how
much uh you are able to complete 1
kilometer in a minute initially it might
be around 13 to 13 and a half minutes
don't be afraid of it but slowly try to
increase that pace and do it slowly do
it after 4 days or whatever and then you
will increase your pace and everything
and indirectly it'll have a lot better
effect on your heart and your joints and
everything and then slowly start what
have done that is slowly jogging and
actually walking so initially just start
with that and again I'm very thankful to
the community that I have over here
there are few mentors in fact I call one
of them actually G G and um if he's
maybe I don't know if he's happy and a
lot of people over here are so inspiring
and uh maybe if they agree I'll take a
talk a try to shoot a video with them
because everybody's journey is so
inspiring so just start doing this I
would say it's for your health it's for
yourself and if you ignore it will hit
you it might not hit you right now if
you're ignoring your health or what but
it'll hit you so bad that it will
you and getting out of that is
super super difficult man forget about
the work that you're being a workoholic
or whatever it simply will not help uh
what is the point of earning all the
money or whatever where you'll feel
helpless and you can't do anything and
uh you always think like that uh okay
today you might have a Target okay let
me make one CR then I will uh get once
you do that it goes to two and so that
never stops and don't ignore this your
health now again uh luckily uh on the
positive note I would say I'm a lot lot
lot fitter as I've told you I might be
one of the fittest in The Last 5 Years
uh now but still I haven't achieved the
Target that I have in my mind uh now my
uh V2 Max has increased from that low of
34 to 39 and this is very very difficult
to increase man even one one point
increasing is so so difficult um my aim
is to go at least to 42 months 42 maybe
in the next 6 months I'll be able to do
that my resting heart rate which is such
an important and again for resting heart
rate uh any Smart Band or fitness band
if you wear at night throughout the
night that should give you a rating you
don't have to buy expensive stuff like
Garmin or Apple watch to do that even
basic stuff will do that that has come
down now to about 66 67 I know still it
has to go down and but I think so in the
next 6 months if I continue this regime
it should go down even a lot lower the
lower it is that means that much fitter
you are even relatives who have now come
and met me they say I look so much
fitter and definitely I have to say my
immunity also has increased a lot now so
definitely for me this morning Jog and
run uh sorry uh Jog and walk it's not
running I'm just jogging I do slow
jogging I don't do that FAS thing has
transformed my life and if I wouldn't
have done that I'm pretty sure I would
have to have completely stopped my
working as of now and maybe I don't know
I would have been in a very very
different uh
place so yes this helped me and
everybody can do this you don't have to
buy a gym subscription or do thing
anything special to do this just get up
in the morning go for your uh small jogs
and runs uh small jogs and walks and do
it very slowly incrementally don't try
to do it I I took almost 4 months to do
this now my community guys are telling
me to do a 10K but I feel 5 to 6 is what
maximum I'm doing so I'm taking it at my
own pace I would say and uh there is a
saying
that we all have been hearing for so
many years health is wealth I'll say it
again health is
wealth and only after all this what had
happened to me in the last six seven
months I realize the importance of that
statement don't be a
fool don't health is wealth man and
today if just somebody comes and tells
me Ranjit I'll pay you 25 cres today or
25 years of
Health I would definitely take that 25
years of
health so guys this is my story and now
I feel a lot better so I will be uh
definitely if you have noticed I've
started making a little bit more videos
but still I would say now I'm going to
balance my life uh it's not just going
to be completely work work work about
still 50 60% would be on my health and
the rest would be my work I need to
balance it and again guys if you are in
your mid-30s and mid-40s I know we
ignore our health and everything we just
work work work because we have to
achieve this this this ladder to that
ladder that ladder to that ladder but in
that if your health hits and it will hit
it's not a good thing anyways guys
that's it for now thanks for watching
this is Ranjit and I hope to see you in
my next video take care guys
