- Oh!
Oh!
What is up guys?
It's Chris Heria, welcome to the last vlog of the year
and actually the first vlog to season two.
Today we've brought back the challenges,
as a lot of you guys have requested in the comment section
so today, me and the guys, are going to be doing
full planche hold, who can hold that the longest.
Who can hold the widest hand stand push up.
The most weighted rope climbs,
max bench press, and then we're gonna do
weighted pulls, who can max out most with 100 pounds.
But before we do that I gotta open these letters right here.
That a couple of you guys have sent to me.
This is so dope.
This is gonna be a new segment in the vlog in fact.
So if you guys wanna send me anything at all,
I'll leave the mailing address in the video description
down below, and you guys will be able to send me some stuff
and I'll be opening it on video.
Alright.
Let's see what the first thing we have in here,
while I open this, Brian, give me the schedule for LA.
We're gonna be in LA literally next week guys,

- So on January second, Tuesday,
we're gonna get to LA pretty early,
so we're gonna shoot some stuff for the area vlog,
on Tuesday, - Alright.
- So we have a few partnerships with
some restaurants, places we can do.
- This is what someone sent me right here.
What?
Sorry I didn't mean to cut you off but,
keep pushing you are a big inspiration,
@BGreatSki, that's a dope handle right there.
Thank you guys, so much, whoever sent this over,
I appreciate that, BGreatSki, you rock.
This has literally what?
ThenX in there, that is so dope, that is super sick,
you know what I'm gonna wear that right now.
What do we got for the next day?
- Okay so January third, it's another free day,
so we're gonna shoot some more stuff for the area vlog,
and then on Thursday, we're gonna start working on the ThenX
YouTube, ThenXpo is gonna be on Saturday and Sunday.
And we're gonna shoot some cool stuff there
for the ThenX vlog, on Monday January eighth,
the video with DemiBagby, so the second video.
- Dope, dope, shout out to Demi, guys,
look out for that video it's gonna be epic.
Alright sounds good man, I mean,
we're gonna be doing a bunch of stuff
in between but that's basically the itinerary for the week.
Let's open this next one.
Alright this one is form Shelby Eckelman, Illinois.
Alright, here we go, dear Chris,
my name is Shelby Eckelman, I'm 17 years old.
I live in a small town called Christopher
in southern Illinois, so most people think of Illinois
they think of Chicago, but we're
close to 400 miles away from there.
Our town is basically classified as a village.
We have 240 students in our entire Christopher High School.
And my graduating class has 60 students.
That's insane.
Everyone knows everyone to say the least.
I first found ThenX when i was scrolling through YouTube.
The first video I watched was of you and your son.
I was instantly intrigued and once I watched the vlogs
I appreciated the work you guys had put in
and keep doing to make the lives of others better
through an accessible way for everyone.
Especially since you're starting to include
what foods you eat, that will help with
the progress everyone is working towards.
I would like to ask some questions,
I hope you can answer for me after reading this.
One, when did you know you wanted to start
what is now ThenX and help people
through what you've learned?
I didn't know I wanted to start what is now ThenX.
ThenX just kinda came to be out of what
I originally just wanted to do.
And I entered that in the very first video
that I uploaded on this page, Chris Heria the Real Story.
I just wanted to spread the awareness of calisthetics,
and I really wanted to help people change their lives.
You know once you help someone change their life,
when it's something as working out,
you see that, like, that change and that positivity
starts to fall over into other aspects of their life
because they're in shape now, they feel more confident
about themselves, if you feel more confident about
yourself, you're more of a go getter,
you're more likely to go out and try to do things
that you wouldnt have done before.
And if you're constantly trying to do things,
you're gonna get more positive results, rather than
the person that's not trying to get results at all.
And I think basically when I saw how,
something that I loved to do,
would also greatly change the lives of other people as well
I was like, oh, well, this is easy.
I can keep doing what I love,
and then at the same time I can help other people's lives,
in the process, so I guess I mean,
it really started when i started
getting into it myself, on the beach.
A community formed after that, and
that was when I felt like, I wanted to do forever.
Alright, two, do you think you'll ever travel
to different states to have an open class
to those who know you and use your app?
Yes I am planning on doing that, 2018 is the year,
so thank you for asking that so I could answer that
on the vlog, yeah 2018 we are flying everywhere,
and we are definitely coming and doing like
pop up shops, workshops, meet and greets,
and a whole bunch of other things,
collaborations with other people all around,
so we're gonna be traveling around a lot.
How many tattoos all together do you have?
Honestly I can't answer that question because,
I don't even know what counts as one tattoo.
Like if this is a word, right, is this each individually
on tattoo, or is like, that word one tattoo, you know?
What's the most meaningful one to you and why?
It's the one of my son, right here on my hand.
I have to say your son seems very sweet.
Thank you.
And I can tell he looks up to you like a superhero.
Do you think he'll want to work to
what you're doing as he gets older?
I really hope so, actually you know he might,
I don't know if it's exactly gonna be with fitness,
but right now he really wants to be a YouTuber,
like he makes little YouTube videos,
and I'll probably open a YouTube channel for him one day.
I'd appreciate it very much if you'd answer
some of these for questions, also congratulations
on getting 1,000,000 subscribers,
I hope to hear back from you if possible
and maybe a shirt or something sent back
to show my classmates, thank you again
for the work and effort everyone has
put in to make ThenX what it is today.
Sincerely Shelby Eckleman.
Shelby for sure I have your address right here,
I don't wanna show it, we're definitely
gonna send you a shirt, thank you so much
for sending in that mail.
And if you guys wanna send in anything,
