708
00:42:50,162 --> 00:42:51,062

709
00:42:51,097 --> 00:42:54,868
This is my cardio.
710
00:42:54,903 --> 00:42:56,650
The weights is a completely
different story.
711
00:42:56,674 --> 00:42:59,169
That's gonna be
much more exciting.
712
00:42:59,204 --> 00:43:02,744
But what I'm gonna
do now is take the pills.
713
00:43:02,779 --> 00:43:05,076
These pills.
714
00:43:05,111 --> 00:43:06,374
I take three every day.
715
00:43:06,409 --> 00:43:07,947
I don't know if they're helping.
716
00:43:07,982 --> 00:43:09,982
Everybody's like,
"Take the mushrooms,
717
00:43:10,017 --> 00:43:11,687
the bitter mushrooms
from South America.
718
00:43:11,722 --> 00:43:13,755
Take the lemon,
take the bitter melon,
719
00:43:13,790 --> 00:43:16,285
take the black seeds,
take this oil."
720
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,891
Like, all the natural things.
721
00:43:17,926 --> 00:43:19,101
And the people
that have used them,
722
00:43:19,125 --> 00:43:22,797
they say it really
helped them cure cancer.
723
00:43:22,832 --> 00:43:24,832
Of course,
my doctor looked at it,
724
00:43:24,867 --> 00:43:29,034
and they're like, "No."
725
00:43:29,069 --> 00:43:30,343
So, the only one they'll
oversee,
726
00:43:30,367 --> 00:43:32,972
they have to believe
that in is Tamoxifen.
727
00:43:33,007 --> 00:43:35,271
So, I take this and this.
728
00:43:38,716 --> 00:43:40,342
It's my new life now.
729
00:43:58,868 --> 00:44:00,362
All right.
730
00:44:00,397 --> 00:44:03,035
I'm cured, I'm cured of cancer.
731
00:44:03,070 --> 00:44:04,333
Cured!
732
00:44:09,472 --> 00:44:10,944
Okay.
733
00:44:13,245 --> 00:44:14,684
I have to take this medicine,
734
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,017
and the side effects
are pretty significant.
735
00:44:18,052 --> 00:44:20,118
It makes me feel
much more tired,
736
00:44:20,153 --> 00:44:22,989
and I'm in a lot of pain.
737
00:44:23,024 --> 00:44:25,090
Every single muscle,
738
00:44:25,125 --> 00:44:26,993
and every single...
Especially my joints...
739
00:44:27,028 --> 00:44:28,357
Are really, really hurting.
740
00:44:28,392 --> 00:44:30,062
And I didn't know
if it was because
741
00:44:30,097 --> 00:44:32,801
I started working out again,
or... but it's different.
742
00:44:32,836 --> 00:44:34,396
It's a pain that
is not a workout...
743
00:44:34,431 --> 00:44:36,266
It's not after-the-workout pain,
744
00:44:36,301 --> 00:44:38,433
it's before, it's...
745
00:44:38,468 --> 00:44:40,171
And then, so I asked the doctor,
746
00:44:40,206 --> 00:44:43,306
and some of the side effects
747
00:44:43,341 --> 00:44:45,143
of the Tamoxifen that I'm taking
748
00:44:45,178 --> 00:44:48,476
is joint and muscle pain.
749
00:44:48,511 --> 00:44:52,315
And, in my case, having to
teach this many classes a day,
750
00:44:52,350 --> 00:44:55,725
and this being my profession,
and my passion also,
751
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:56,891
it's a big deal
752
00:44:56,926 --> 00:44:59,421
because I almost told my doctor.
753
00:44:59,456 --> 00:45:01,731
I'm like,
"What if I stop taking it?
754
00:45:01,766 --> 00:45:04,195
What if I don't
wanna take Tamoxifen?"
755
00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:06,835
And she was like, "No,
you should really take it.
756
00:45:06,870 --> 00:45:10,102
I mean, you do what you want,
but it would be kind of
757
00:45:10,137 --> 00:45:12,841
stupid for you not to take it.
758
00:45:12,876 --> 00:45:14,172
You're not cleared from cancer.
759
00:45:14,207 --> 00:45:15,811
You didn't come back
100 percent clear.
760
00:45:15,846 --> 00:45:17,780
Your cancer was very aggressive.
761
00:45:17,815 --> 00:45:19,782
You still have one boob,
762
00:45:19,817 --> 00:45:21,751
so you could get it
in your other."
763
00:45:21,786 --> 00:45:22,994
She just didn't
make me feel good.
764
00:45:23,018 --> 00:45:24,512

00:45:24,547 --> 00:45:27,020

This is real again."
767
00:45:28,452 --> 00:45:29,770
And then,
when she found out that
768
00:45:29,794 --> 00:45:33,224
the lymph nodes are swollen...
769
00:45:42,136 --> 00:45:43,971

teach on Thanksgiving.

Yes, the gym is open,

774

down the line,
1066
01:10:13,507 --> 01:10:14,673
I started to get better.
1067
01:10:14,708 --> 01:10:19,709
As a teen, I was disrespected,
and betrayed, and wounded.
1068
01:10:19,744 --> 01:10:22,712
In fact, it was violent
and traumatic.
1069
01:10:22,747 --> 01:10:26,914
So, exercise, for me,
is about tying up loose ends,
1070
01:10:26,949 --> 01:10:29,257
regaining empowerment,
1071
01:10:29,292 --> 01:10:31,556
and the process of
healing from violence
1072
01:10:31,591 --> 01:10:33,954
because I think it's
a lifelong process.
1073
01:10:33,989 --> 01:10:36,022
So, exercise...
1074
01:10:36,057 --> 01:10:39,729
♪
1075
01:10:39,764 --> 01:10:43,832
I think always
gives one another chance.
1076
01:10:43,867 --> 01:10:45,900
Exercise, being physical,
1077
01:10:45,935 --> 01:10:47,704
however you wanna call it,
1078
01:10:47,739 --> 01:10:49,376
will forge a stronger spirit,
1079
01:10:49,411 --> 01:10:51,411
a stronger armor.
1080
01:10:51,446 --> 01:10:53,039
It's like gladiators,
1081
01:10:53,074 --> 01:10:56,779
the more you fight,
the stronger you become.
1082
01:10:56,814 --> 01:10:58,715
I started with Forza,
1083
01:10:58,750 --> 01:11:00,849
and that just became my class
that every Thursday,
1084
01:11:00,884 --> 01:11:02,323
I would take Forza.
1085
01:11:02,358 --> 01:11:03,830
In the beginning,
it was very, very hard.
1086
01:11:03,854 --> 01:11:04,887
I have bad knees,
1087
01:11:04,922 --> 01:11:07,493
and it was a struggle
to get through one class.
1088
01:11:07,528 --> 01:11:09,792
And then, that just became
my nightly routine,
1089
01:11:09,827 --> 01:11:13,400
like, every night,
Monday through Friday.
1090
01:11:13,435 --> 01:11:15,303
Literally changed my life.
1091

1092
01:11:17,901 --> 01:11:20,572
The second half of my life,
being a new mom,
1093
01:11:20,607 --> 01:11:23,542
what it means to me now is
being stronger for my son,
1094
01:11:23,577 --> 01:11:24,741
and being able to run around,
1095
01:11:24,776 --> 01:11:26,644
and being able to
get up off the floor
1096
01:11:26,679 --> 01:11:28,316
with a little 20-pound chunk,
1097
01:11:28,351 --> 01:11:30,615
and know that in
a couple of years,
1098
01:11:30,650 --> 01:11:31,416
I'm gonna be able to do that.
1099
01:11:31,451 --> 01:11:33,783
So, for me, right now, fitness,
1100
01:11:33,818 --> 01:11:35,620
more than ever, is,
1101
01:11:35,655 --> 01:11:37,391
I mean, it's truly
Ilaria's tagline,
1102
01:11:37,426 --> 01:11:38,887
it's Stronger for Life.
