Video description

Watch Arthur Boorman's amazing journey -- filmed and edited by his 19-year-old son Warren -- as he sets a goal to walk again and to reclaim his life. An Army veteran who was hurt in the first Gulf War, Arthur suffered for 15 years with the effects of a botched surgery that left him unable to walk without the assistance of leg braces and canes. By February 2007, he had ballooned to 297 pounds and, by his own admission, was waiting to die. In looking for a yoga program to alleviate some of his constant pain, Arthur found the YRG workout created by Diamond Dallas Page. He gained inspiration and strength from DDP and other members of Team YRG to propel him toward his goal -- "I Will Walk Again!" -- and, ultimately, to blow past it. Watch here as Arthur vividly demonstrates that life is not about how many times you fall down -- it's about how many times you get up.

Personal Message
Everything happens for a reason and Arthur Boorman coming into my life was no mistake ... We met online when I sent him a follow-up e-mail after he bought the YRG Workout ... We talked about how he had lost control of his life and how his wife and kids were on a path to losing him for good ... After a few weeks of doing YRG, Arthur sent me an e-mail with an update that ended with the goal he had set for himself: I WILL WALK AGAIN! ... Even I, the guy they call "Mr. Positivity," wondered if it was possible ... But as you'll see from this video, Arthur proves that anything is possible ... This video is a labor of love from Arthur's son, and it's a testament to the power we all have to own our lives when we set goals and focus on achieving them ... No matter how many times I watch this video, I come away amazed by Arthur and just so proud of him ... If you are inspired by this video, please leave a comment or a rating, or send it on to a friend ... If you want to see more, go to www.yrgworkout.com ...

  • i cried when you ran at the end!

    alpha as fuck

  • I use to watch this video a lot in 2009 when I was at my lowest with my PTSD. It brings tears to my eyes because even though I never have even talked to Aurthur, I think in a way he saved my life. He's a true inspiration and he taught me to never give up. "It's not about how many times you fall down that count, it's how many times you pick yourself up that matters." I live by that quote. Aurthur if you happen to read this thank you. Much love from The Iraq Veteran Gamer.

  • damn man...major respect to you

  • Holy fuck. This guy has gotta be one of the most mentally tough guys going. To even think after being told he'll have to use canes for the rest of his life, he still went out and worked at his goal. In the end I think he probably surpassed what he expected to achieve. I really feel for this guy, and respect him for having the pure balls to go out and change his future. Screw walking, who needs it when you can run? Arthur you absolute legend :).
