Welcome to our channel.

Thank you, thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

Saraswathi, tell us where are you from?

Actually, I'm from Chennai. I'm working in Kalpakkam. It is 55 kilometers away from my work, I mean my place. I used to travel every day. I have— I used to drive every day.

And you're driving every day?

Yes, yes.

When did you join DFC?

I joined last year, April. I joined as a Silver and then I switched over to Quantum. Actually, my intention is to get myself fit because I underwent ACL reconstruction in 2018 and had fractures on the same knee and also fracture in the shoulder. I was bedridden for 1.5 months. Somehow I recovered from it, and then I had, I had a same fracture on the same knee in 2022, and I'm working as a nurse in the operation theater. I have to stand for a long time. I felt very bad after this. I couldn't do my job. At least I couldn't stand for 1 hour. It made me into so much pressure because my family is fully dependent on my salary. So I have to, definitely I have to work. There is no other option. And one fine day, I saw your video. I felt like, how to avoid knee pain? You just told me, I couldn't recollect. So But after joining Quantum, within 2 to 3 months, I realized myself, I'm not asking excuses for standing for the cases. I couldn't— I can stand for even 8 hours continuously, even after driving 55 kilometers in the morning and 55 kilometers in the evening. And after coming back to my home also, I'm feeling full of energy with zero pain in my body. It's— I couldn't imagine. I never imagined this will happen in my life. I felt like I born again.

Wow.

Thank you, thank you so much. It happened only because of you.

Wow. And so you went through a lot of pain because of the reconstruction surgeries and because of the pain. How was your life when you had all that pain? How did you feel?

I couldn't even walk normally before.

And did you have— I was like, you think that will you have to live with this all the time?

So see, there is something is pushing me because I have to take care of my family.

Yeah.

I was in the search of how to make myself fit.

Wow.

I just want to make myself fit. But I have tried so many things like yoga and physiotherapy, of course. But nothing has given me this results. Every day I'll end up with the pain after doing those exercises. At the end of day, I have to keep my ice packs and all. And literally, when I do our workouts with the pain, start with the pain, when I'm finishing my workout, my body will be free with no pain. The very first day I realized, and that made me to jump into the Quantum immediately.

And how has life— you've already seen, as a, you know, as a Silver, Gold member, you already seen me. And what made you come to Quantum then?

Actually, when I'm in Silver, since I'm a working professional, I couldn't do all those live workouts because I have to leave early from my house. So I felt like I'm missing. When I get those live workouts on recording, then I can do it on my own timing. Everything, and especially the mind programming and the gratitude practicing, everything. And it made me to consistent, to stay consistent. That is a very important thing to work in the— I mean, to be in the Quantum. And like in the Quantum group, everyone, like when I saw them, it pushed me. I have to do it, I have to do it. And of course, reality. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn health and fitness course from you.

Yes, that's the next thing I want to ask you, that when you came, you did not think that you're going to be a coach, and today, in the next few weeks, you're going to be, you know, getting certified as a coach. How do you feel practicing all those things as a coach? How do you feel that?

It was like wonders, it's happening to my world. Not only myself, I can make fit of my family members.

Yes.

And of course, my friends. So many friends are suffering with the ACL— I mean, ligament tears and all. So I want to teach them. Actually, my relatives, everyone is waiting for me to take the classes. Even at my workplace, I'm the fittest person. Wow. Only I can stand throughout the day and everyone is having knee pain. And they're going for the physiotherapy, everything. So I'm the fittest person. Even I can run now. Wow.

And for those of you are watching and you, you know, just always thinking that I have these stairs, I've got to go to a doctor, please remember that let the doctors in the medical fraternity do their work. Post that, the post-operative rehab is only one part of your journey. It's only when you do scientifically designed workouts coupled with a lot of mind programming, the right visualization and the right meditation, and of course the right attitude, you'll have glow like Saraswati has. I mean, Saraswati, when I see you today, I really see you— I see your face glowing. I recall the first time we did the one-to-one call and you were very upset, and I was wondering whether with all the time constraints that you have, will you ever even sustain in quantum? But now I realize that Quantum is especially for those who have time constraints, and I make it very easy. So tell our viewers that, did you find that Quantum was more work, or did you find that it was more easy for you to follow?

No, it is more easy to follow. That's what I would say. It's more easy to follow.

Nice, nice.

And it— we can do at any time. We can do at any time.

So, so you have You're a practicing nurse and you see, you are in the op— in the operation theater all the time. And you see a lot of patients and you came out from that world to first get yourself fit.

Yes.

For the people who are watching this video and who are working for many hours a day, plus people like you who travel tremendously for 40-50 kilometers one way. What is that message that you want to give them, Saraswati?

Yes, definitely. I request you to all make yourself fit. Then, then only you can do wonders. It happened in my life. Not only physically, mentally, everything. And I can do all my works. Earlier I used to do, I mean, if I take 2 to 3 hours, The work will be done within 1 hour. There is lot of difference, not only physically, mentally also I'm feeling I'm very strong also mentally. So make yourself fit, that will boost you more energy. If you are fit, definitely it will do wonders, not only to you, of course also to your family members.

Yes, yes. What is the impact that it's had on your family?

Yes, earlier my husband used to say for everything, no. But now he stopped saying no to me for anything. And since I'm active, I mean, I'm active, when they are seeing me, they also make themselves active.

Very nice.

That is a positive thing I see. And they love the workout. They are also loving the workout.

And we never talked about weight loss. Did you get any weight loss after coming?

Sure, sure. I was 72.5 earlier, now I'm 66.4.

Wow, and you're 6 kg lighter. And how does that feel to your body?

That's what I'm telling. When I'm running, I couldn't feel my body is weighing too much. It was very light. Even I used to climb the stairs always with the support But now with the support, I'm just claiming it very fast.

Fantastic, fantastic, amazing results, Saraswati. And for those of you are watching this video having knee pain, back pain, all sorts of aches and pains, these pains are natural because you've allowed your body to just rust and not done anything about your body. Please do not depend upon the medical fraternity. The medical fraternity and the doctors and the physios will only Do that much. Everything else is linked to your lifestyle. And even though you don't have the time, you got to today, in today's day and age, you got to create the time just the way Saraswati created the time for her own body because she wanted to work, because she knew that she had to earn money for her family. So she did not succumb to any of her situations. And that's the story that I want to— want each and every one of you to get inspired.
