Yay 🙌
Hi Debs I’ve just completed the toning session, it was great. I didn’t have any weights so I used 2 cans of cannellini beans! 400 grams 😂It worked well for a first session. X
Aww that’s great to hear Christine. Very resourceful of you to use your beans. 😂 Hopefully, if you enjoy the weighted workouts, you maybe might consider investing in some weights for yourself. Working with weights is such a fab thing to do so I’d highly recommend having your own sets of weights. You’ll get so much value from them. 💛
Hi Debs, have just completed this again using heavier weights, can definitely feel it makes a difference, thank you. ( my weights are still not as heavy has yours but at least I have gone up a kilo) xx
Wow - that’s absolutely brilliant Carol. 🤩 Massive well done to you for investing time in yourself too. 🙌 It doesn’t matter what size weights others are using - the most important thing is using weights that are just right for you so they definitely challenge you but not at the expense of your form. Keep going with it - you’re a 💫
Love the song and choreo is unique !
Thanks so very much Liz. I really appreciate your lovely comment. 💛💫
The breakdown has really helped Debs, its's not so complicated as first thought. Love it 👏Jx
That’s great Julie - I’m glad the breakdown at the end has helped. You looked fab in class today. 💛💛💛
Wonderful! Is this iin the zin library?
Thanks so much Donna. 🙏 💛 It’s not a ZIN track. I bought it on iTunes. ☺️💫

@@karlav.balarezo1551Thank you so much 💛🙏💛
Thank you!!
You’re so very welcome. Thank you 💛🙏
Love this ❤ really helpful the way you've broken it down and explained which muscles are being used
That’s so lovely to hear Kathrine. Thanks so much for your feedback - I really appreciate it. 🙏 Hope you enjoy the workout and you start to feel the benefit of it in your arms and shoulders. Thanks so much again. 💛
Hi Debs, just completed this for the second time this week. Still found it tough but stuck with it until the end, thank you once again and by the way I don’t mind the music in the background xx
That’s just brilliant Carol and it’s good that you found it tough as you want to be challenging your muscles. It shouldn’t be easy so that’s great. If you can do this workout 3 times a week and keep going with it - you should really start to feel and then see the benefits. Keep going - and thanks for letting me know about the music too. I really appreciate your feedback 💛🙏💛
I have just completed this Debs, my weights were not as heavy as yours but found them to be heavy enough for now. Can definitely tell I have worked my arms but loved it, will definitely be doing this for on a regular basis , thank you xx
Yay! 🙌 Massive well done Carol. That's just brilliant and I'm so happy to hear you'll be doing the Arm Workout regularly. I'll be filming more soon. big hugs xxx
You rock Debs !! Love it x thanks for continuing to inspire us 60plus (I still feel 19 inside) - how is the weather your side of Yorkshire?
Thanks so much as always - that's so lovely of you to say. 🤩 It's fab to hear you still feel 19 - brilliant. Weather in York has been truly awful. Hope it's better in Harrogate xxx
Hi beautiful 🌺 Always happy to see you in a new video 🏋️♀️
