Arthur's story is highlighted from the beginning, in the upcoming documentary, INSPIRED: The Movie. http://www.inspiredthemovie.com
(Thanks to filmmaker Steve Yu for putting this inspirational video together!)
Arthur Boorman was a disabled veteran of the Gulf War for 15 years, and was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own, ever again.
He stumbled upon an article about Diamond Dallas Page doing Yoga and decided to give it a try -- he couldn't do traditional, higher impact exercise, so he tried DDP YOGA and sent an email to Dallas telling him his story.
Dallas was so moved by his story, he began emailing and speaking on the phone with Arthur throughout his journey - he encouraged Arthur to keep going and to believe that anything was possible. Even though doctors told him walking would never happen, Arthur was persistent. He fell many times, but kept going.
Arthur was getting stronger rapidly, and he was losing weight at an incredible rate! Because of DDP's specialized workout, he gained tremendous balance and flexibility -- which gave him hope that maybe someday, he'd be able to walk again.
His story is proof, that we cannot place limits on what we are capable of doing, because we often do not know our own potential. Niether Arthur, nor Dallas knew what he would go on to accomplish, but this video speaks for itself. In less than a year, Arthur completely transformed his life. If only he had known what he was capable of, 15 years earlier.
Do not waste any time thinking you are stuck - you can take control over your life, and change it faster than you might think.
Hopefully this story can inspire you to follow your dreams - whatever they may be.
Anything is Possible!

The doctors told me that I would forever have to rely on drugs to live a "normal" life due to chronic fatigue syndrome having suffered for over 7 years. I never gave up and today I live a normal healthy life and without the tablets and anti depressants the doctors were trying to encourage me to take. I am so inspired by this story and it reminds me never to give up and never to accept the "facts" as truth. The truth is your truth and yours alone.

All I'm looking for is where I belong, who I want to be. People look at me as a child still, they don't understand I'm at a point in life in which I need to find what I'm meant to do in life.... I'm not a kid. Your video gave me inspiration, thank you, and congratulations :')

This hits home for me in so many ways. So many ways I can relate. I'm currently 240lbs following major hip surgery and still in constant pain that I can exercise. This video has given me hope that all is not lost if I really want it. Thank you DDP, thank you Arthur. Blessings to you both.

WELL DONE DDP and ARTHUR!!!! i hope this question(and a few comments) doesnt get lost and that youll answer this: do you know if Arthur sent this to any of his "nay-sayer" docs? also, at 3:18 secs i couldnt help but imagine him as a new born, learning to walk. THAT is a very powerful metaphor, IMO. you gave him the tools and will to be reborn. WELL DONE to you BOTH
