Diamond Member Parizad loses 9Kgs From Home

Hi everyone and welcome to our YouTube channel. First and foremost, thank you to each and every one of you for being here and following our channel. This playlist, the Game Changers, is the most precious playlist for me where people who have joined the Dynaz Fitness community have got some amazing breakthroughs and they are— these are their stories. Despite the challenges that they have gone through, they have able to come out of the challenges and got some amazing results. And the reason we talk to them is so that uh, their story can inspire you and you in turn can take a lot of action towards your own journey. And today we have a very pretty girl from Mumbai. Her name is Parizad. And first and foremost, thank you so much, Parizad, for being on the show today. And really truly grateful to you for finding the time and sharing and coming out in the open and sharing your journey, which in turn will inspire us. So once again, thank you so much, Parizad. Which city are you from?

I'm from Mumbai.

What do you do?

I am a housewife. Okay. And I used to work earlier, but I had left my job long time back. Okay. It's been almost 15, 16 years.

Fantastic, fantastic. And when did you join the Dynast Fitness community?

I joined on 24th of Jan 2022. It's been over a year. Yes.

And you started from the 5-day WhatsApp class?

Yes, started from the 5-day WhatsApp class. And initially I used to go to the gyms even before the lockdowns. I used to go to the gyms for many years. I went, but then I never got any results. Even as a child, I was always inspired by my dad who used to be a gym lover himself. Wow. So from childhood I've been seeing him doing workouts, even at home, even in the gyms. So that inspired me and I later on took it up. I used to go myself and the journey continued, but I never got results from the gyms, to be very frank.

Wow.

1 kg up, 1 kg down, and I used to get thrilled at that time, like it's 1 kg I have lost. But now when I realize it's, it was nothing. So it's only after the lockdown, I was thinking about something more I wanted. And one day, just by scrolling through the Facebook, I saw your ad, which like tempted me to get into it and get into more details because it said lose weight without diet. And, and that was the biggest thing I could ever think about. I went through it. I joined your WhatsApp class, 5-day WhatsApp class, and the journey is on.

How did you feel when you— you were already a regular gymmer?

Yes.

So your body was already exercised and well-oiled body. When you joined the 5-day WhatsApp class, what was different compared to what you had already done for a very long time in your life?

Initially, I was very wary of joining this because this was more of Zumba and aerobics, which I had never done before. Yeah, and I never thought I could be able to do it because I had knee problems initially in earlier years. But then I said, let me give it a try, there's nothing wrong in trying. So at the most, what will happen after 5 days, I will not be able to do it. But then in the first week itself, I got such good results. I lost almost a kg. And then I had— I thought that no, this is it and I have to continue. There's nothing else I can stop.

How did you find, uh, gymming different? I mean, how did you find— you joined the classes, and I know that I do a lot of aerobics and Zumba as well with toning exercises. And, uh, were you able to cope up with it initially, or was it a little bit of a struggle?

Initially I did find the steps a little confusing because I had never done them before. Yeah, but after doing it once or twice, I got the hang of it, and then I was fine with it.

Fantastic.

I never thought I would be able to, but because of the knee problems, but as you say, mind controls everything and I was determined to do it. So I went on and I can still do it and I can do it for an hour now without any problems. Fantastic.

So from, uh, Silva, how did you take your journey forward?

As soon as the 5-day WhatsApp class was over, I took up Silva. And in the month of March itself, on Women's Day, my husband gifted me gold.

Wow.

And in later on in November, on I think Black Friday, I came to Diamond. Wow.

And how has your journey been since you— first and foremost, how, how much weight have you lost since you've joined?

Since I joined, I had lost around 10 kgs in 9 months, and then I have been consistent remaining at 10 till now. And now I'm at 55. I start— I was never obese. I started off at 65, and but people used to keep telling me that once you reach your, you know, certain age, you are going to be at— you're going to increase, you're not going to lose any weight anymore, but that was not acceptable to me. And I didn't like the way I used to see myself in the mirror. I said no, I wanted something more, and I wanted to be slim. That was always my dreams right from childhood because I was always a plump child.

So you have seen this weight 55 after how many years?

Oh my, on my marriage I was 58. I really don't remember when I was 55.

Wow, I— this is a real transformation. And since how long have you been having knee pains?

Knee pains initially I had around 15 years back, and after that I was never able to do any heavy weight training with my lower body and squats, anything that was very exerting to my knees. I could never do it. I couldn't run on the treadmill for more than 2 minutes. So that is why I was a little scared whether I'll be able to do aerobics, whether I'll be able to do Zumba. But this journey has been fantastic.

Wow. Wow. So I mean, our classes really are way beyond going to the gym today. I mean, it's a very big eye-opener for me as well.

My dad, who was 83, used to work out till his last breath. Till his last day, he used to work out at home.

And you want to do that?

I want to do that too.

Yes, that's a great dream, and I have the same dream for myself as well, that I am going to do especially aerobics till my last breath, because I know how safe it is.

And it's not only me that I have transformed, it's like in the family, my husband also is a fitness freak, I can say. He does martial arts, he goes to the gym, and my children are also that way. Looking at me, my daughter has started working out. She inspires her friends in turn to work out, and they do it together. She's a teenager. She's a—

what a great ripple effect.

Initially she used to say, like any other teenager, she used to say like, I'm okay with what I am, you know. And then suddenly she started seeing the transformation in me and Now she compares herself with me, like, okay, you are 55, I have to be 55, or I have to be less than you, not more than you. So she puts in more efforts, you know, to bring her weight down.

Wow, that's really— I mean, you've really created a ripple effect by— I'm so glad that you've actually— you've contributed to my mission about getting people healthy and fit around you. And really, really amazing. So tell me a little bit about your knee pain. Has your knee pain— is your knee pain still there, or are you comfortable with your knees now?

It's quite negligible, but I can continue. I do sometimes get them when I do a lot of squats, but beyond that, it's okay.

So, uh, do— is it safe to say that because of heavy weight training in the gym Or because of your weight you had this knee pain?

Uh, in fact, the doctors had told me that the cartilages have worn out. I really don't know the reason why, because before that I never used to go to the gym. So they gave me medication, I was okay. But after that I started working out in the gyms and I couldn't exactly do what I wanted to with the weights. But I still carried on. I used to force myself to do it because I wanted to lose weight anyhow. But the gym trainers, as usual, they always say, wait, but wait, but you know, and that was not possible. So I used to stay like in the range but never lose weight.

So I want you to tell me, okay, when you joined as a Silver member, it was all about workouts. Then Gold member, it was about nutrition planning and about the recordings of the workouts. Yes. When you joined the Diamond Membership, what shifted in you?

Diamond Membership, I wanted to get in because of the mind programming, because of the meditation, and I wanted to put my body on the, like, I can say, automatic mode. Because all the time I kept thinking was like, I have to do workouts, otherwise I'll put on weight. I have to do this, otherwise I'll put on weight. That mind chatter was always there. But now, even today, sometimes I do get into that mode, but I can say like, no, I have meditations to help me. I have that positive mind chatter. It's not going to do much of a difference even if I eat a little bit of sweet here and there. So like, I have everything now. I have everything. I have sweets, I have mithais. But in control, not every day, once in a while when my— I'm— I want to, but I don't put on weight anymore because of that.

And do you eat normal food or are you on always on a diet? No, I eat normal, whatever you cook for your family.

Yes, but in smaller portions. Yes, not very huge portions. I do portion control a lot. Yeah, I avoid sugar.

Yeah.

But once in a while, if I feel like having something, I do put it in my mouth. Like yesterday was the festival and I did have.

Yes, I hope you had the rabo.

Yes, yes, I had a little bit.

Fantastic, very good, very good.

Initially, 2 years back, I had done dieting because I wasn't losing. I was desperately wanting to lose weight, so nothing was working for me and Dieting in the sense I used to have regular meals throughout the day. In the night, I used to have salad and soup. I did that for a year and I did lose 7 kgs at that point of time. And once I started eating again, in no time, those 7 kgs came back. It was in 2-3 months, I put on those 7 kgs again. So that was not sustainable at all. And that was one more point that drew me to your program.

No diets.

No diets.

Yeah, fantastic. How do you feel from inside now, Parizad?

I am super happy, super excited, super happy, and I want to stay that way.

Yeah, I can see it in your aura. I can see that you are, uh, you are set. You have set yourself free after many years. And, uh, you know, I would say that you've almost also reversed your knee pains. That little bit knee pain everybody will have. And if you dig into anybody's knees, every cartilage, everything will be worn out for everybody. So there's no point in getting deep into that. But I think it was a— the right workout that suited you. And it's safe to say that the aerobic segments sessions that we actually have are very safe.

Even yesterday I had a late night sleep. But today morning I was up because today was the Bollywood session and I— there was no way I could have missed it.

Wow, that's so beautiful!

I was up by 6 and ready by 7.

And so tell me, where do you work out in your home? Because a lot of women are also scared that they don't have enough place. And you are in Mumbai, and Mumbai homes are not like other cities. I mean, they are way smaller. So how do you work out in your home? Where do you work out?

I live in a 1 BHK where 4 of us are staying.

Wow!

And I have a very small house comparatively, but I have a hall where I can work out. I have a little space there, but thanks to my daughter who sleeps in this room every day on the sofa, she wakes up at 6 o'clock, goes in into another room so that I can work out here. And that has been happening since the last one year. So it's all thanks to her that I can peacefully work out here.

Wow. So when you joined, did you have that doubt that I don't know how I'm going to do it at home?

Yes. Must have. Yes. But where there's a will, there's a way.

Yes.

Yes. So in fact, it's been 1 year and I have never missed your live sessions. Never.

Wow.

Unless I'm not well, only on that day when I had a lot of fever. Otherwise, I'm always there, always. Wow. Even in your masterminds, even in your morning live sessions, it's hard to miss them. Nothing for them. Wow.

Have you started using the app?

Yes. Wow.

How do you find the app?

Apps are nice. But I would have liked if they had a little music in it. Yeah, I have to play my music. But yes, they are nice, they are good.

So that is why it had to be different compared to this. It was more about understanding body form, posture, and more focused workouts rather than the noisy aerobics that we have. And we have almost 300-400 workouts in the library.

I prefer those as well because I am more of a weight training person. I like to pick up weights. Yes. So I do more of those also.

Yes. Fantastic. Fantastic.

If it's 3 days live, I do 3 days of exercises from the app. Wow. Wow. And along with the live workouts, I go for my daily walks also, 5 to 6 kilometers. That's the regime I have. Morning workouts, evening is walk.

Wow, that is amazing! Really, that's very inspiring. Fantastic. So in Mumbai city, where do you walk?

I have a colony. I live in a colony here, so there is a lot of space where we can walk. I move with my friends.

Fantastic, fantastic. So because you're walking, I want you to focus much more on the on strength training rather than aerobics, you'll start getting results way faster. So use the app even more and come to the Facebook group and let me know what workouts you're doing.

Sure.

So that I have an idea what you're doing over there.

Sure. Yeah, so more of lower body workouts and abs.

That's the standard everyone wants. So we have a beautiful community called the Dynaz Fitness Community, and since you had been to the gym and you've got gym friends as well, and now you have the Dynaz Fitness Community, tell our viewers about the Dynaz Fitness Community and how you feel about it. Are you feeling lonely in this huge community, or do you feel that Do you feel that connect? Do you feel that warmth with people? Definitely.

The community is very beautiful. I've never felt lonely. Even though sometimes I do feel a little low, I put it up on the group and there are messages pouring in from all sides. That peps you up. And it's really beautiful to know— in fact, we had a Mumbai meet sometime back, 2 weeks back. And we made a lot of friends not knowing each other. We started chatting and we become good friends. Now we have a group of our own. Wow, a lot of things. So that's one of the very beautiful things which we never had it in the gyms. It's like one-to-one. You don't know the person, but you still have that interaction. Yes, yes.

So as we conclude this, um, interview, I'd like you to share a few, uh, say 3 tips to our viewers. 3 things that worked for you from the system of the Dynaz Fitness community. What are the 3 things that worked with you, for you?

3 things is the first one is I would say having a positive mindset. Be very positive about what you're doing and be focused. In fact, I was a very negative person initially before starting this community, before getting into this community. Every time I thought about something, the first thing that came was, no, this cannot happen, no, that cannot happen. But after joining, it's like, yes, it will happen. So a positive mindset works a lot. Second is, I'll say, is listen to whatever you have to say. Blindly follow what he says, and there is no way you will not get any results. No way. And second is— the third is, I will say, is set your goals and work towards them.

Fantastic. Thank you so much, Parisa. It was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful chat with you, and I cannot thank you enough for, you know, sharing your insights about the community, sharing your journey and helping me to inspire more people in our country. So those of you who have— who feel that you can't do it in a small house, or you have knee pains, or you feel that you cannot do aerobics, or you cannot do Zumba, here is Parisaad who has shared her story, and I hope it has inspired you.
