    This one was actually the most beginner friendly workout I’ve ever seen damn
    I can’t believe I managed to do everything without taking a single break or feeling exhausted to the point to just faint hahahah

    I just love your style. I love that you're not talking about weight loss or toning or appearance, but which muscle you're targeting. Your instructions are clear and concise. I'm a fat person just looking to get stronger and move my body in a fun way, and your videos have kept me at it for almost 6 months now. Thank you so much!

    I am 17, 150 pounds, 5'10, and i began this workout about a week ago.
    This is what I saw. (I am not athletic at all, my waist is a little wide (covid) and I don't do weights usually) I did multiple workouts including this, chloe ting and Lily Sabri which took 45 minutes a day and did some intermittent fasting.
    Week 1- Lost 3.3 pounds, my waist size hasn't reduced much, but I can see the difference. I am able to go up the stairs much easier, and I feel more motivated and happy.
    I'll update yall on week 2.
    Well, it was a bust, I continued for 2 more weeks until life hit me (I had exams), but the good news is that I lost 4.4 pounds in the span of those two weeks. Mostly because of the intermittent fasting and the continuos working out. But i started this weight loss journey again.
    Week 1: Lost a pound off. My arms feel great. I am able to lift heavier weights. I can climb stairs without exasperating myself completely.
    Will update for week 2 in 4 days.
    *(If you want a full idea of what I do to lose weight, all the workouts + the fast, lmk. I will write all of it down as well)* :)
    Please remember that these workouts should be done for a better future and a better livelihoo, not for achieving an ideal beauty standard. Please like or comment if you can with some words of kindness or some advice. It keeps me motivated :)

      Hello, I did the workout for about 2 more weeks after the last update and lost 2 kgs (4.4 pounds) (did a ton of intermittent fasting, 17/7 in case anyone is wondering). I had a really important exam after that and couldn't continue, unfortunately. But I started again like a week ago, and I'm having great results

    I always enjoy these 20 minute work outs. Its enough to get the heart rate going but yet saves me when I am running short on time and can't do something longer. Not to mention if you have a hard time focusing, 20 minutes is perfect.

    After delivering a healthy 10lb baby, I developed a diastasis recti with a 4-finger gap. I started workouts with another channel at 6 weeks pp. After a month and a half, my gap is down to 2.5 fingers, and I've lost 7 lbs. I figured I was finally ready for a challenge.
    So, today was my first day doing one of your workouts, and I gotta say, I feel amazing! Truly, I feel like a beast! Lol I've done many workouts over the years and this was my favorite so far. I'm subscribing and making your videos part of my weekly schedule. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and helping countless individuals reach their potential. God bless you ❤

    This one really got the sweat going! I've been doing the light barre arms for months and thought there was no way I could lift 8 pounds but I got through this entire routine with them! Yay! On the downside, not as much ab work as I would have liked. I'm definitely coming back to this one for arm work.

    I'm 43, dealing with a long recovery from COVID (cardiac issues), and am 5 years post-hysterectomy. I've also got a lot of neck and back issues. Pre-COVID, I was strength training hardcore for 3 hours/week, and I'm realizing I may have been overdoing it and working against myself. Your workouts (specifically standing - so much easier on the neck and back!), including the slower, more focused pace, have literally brought me back from my lowest physical point, ever. You make fitness accessible again. Thank you SO much - I'd love more standing workouts! So grateful to have found your channel!

    Great workout even for a 65 year old. Was not so difficult that I felt I could not complete, but felt the challenge as well. I did not have 8 lb weights so had to go down a weight, but still worked. I did get out by 8 lb kettlebell and cal tell that the entire routine with the heavier weight would really feel it, at each will have to switch out a couple of times. Thanks for not jumping around in a manic fashion, with burpees, planks, push ups and crazy aerobics that my knees and wrists can’t handle. This will be in my weekly rotation and am looking at other videos to add as well. Happy New 2023!

    I loved this one! I have a couple of physic limitations and this one was good enough to make me sweat but not to the point where it burns and that middle ground is what I need at the moment. Definitely good for beginners !Thank you
