I’ve been doing her (Lucy’s) workouts only for 3 months and dropped a dress size and a half. It does work but it takes more than a week for sure. I am very happy and think 7 min daily is very sustainable at least for me.
I can't stand it when people use "fat burning" in titles of their workouts. I've notified Sydney Cummings Houdyshell had been doing this lately and it's super disappointing.
I was done with Sydney (and admit this is dumb) when she made a dramatic short about how “everyone said I couldn’t do it.” The “it” being losing her baby weight. Literally NOBODY said that to her. Her entire community worships the ground she walks on. Everyone was happy for her. Nobody cared that she gained weight, which is normal when you HAVE A BABY.
For the past couple months, scrolling her videos, I don't see any mention of "fat burning" in her titles...but "leg burner workout" for example, or "spicy arm workout" but not "fat burning"....
I did it for 7 days. Albeit two times a day. It pushed me from an 8 to a 6. I’ve maintained for well over a year now. I switch up fitness influencers and stick to those that are positive. Not the negative Nells that feel the need to tear others down. It’s been a world of positive change in my life!
@@jrnmrn Happy you found something that works for you! My comment was a quote from Justina. She's talking about how if she only did the workout once when it says try it for 7 days then people would complain.
I spent my first 50+ years worrying about the number on a scale. At 59, I am working on increasing how much weight is on the bar. I want a string body, strong bones.
I’m so glad I’ve learned not to take these “marketing” phrases seriously, and your breakdown from the textbook was really helpful! I admit I still have some of these kinds of videos in my playlist rotation. I hate 99% of cardio workouts and many of these walking workout/“bodyweight fat burn” videos at least help me raise my heart rate for 20-30 minutes without getting too bored or frustrated. That’s the extent of my expectations from them now.
She is where I started my workout journey and when you are out of shape like I was you would be surprised at what is fat burning! I’m so grateful to her channel
Hey! It seems like maybe you skipped the first half of the video when I explained what “fat burning” actually means. I’m glad she helped you but there are no “fat burning” workouts. There is simply being in a negative energy balance.
I agree! I more or less just listen to these review videos while doing housework rather than watch, but it tickled me to see a montage of Justina waving her arms around pointlessly. The facial expressions were everything 😂😂
I did one of her walking workouts and thought she would be fine for someone like my boomer mom, who is in her seventies and is really intimidated by gyms, weights, length etc. They all seemed to have grown up thinking that all movement and strength is unfeminine and unachievable, so they think they need something super quick, super gentle, super boring
Totally unrelated and also uncalled comment, but you've always reminded me of someone very famous since the very first time I saw you, and now, after 3 years of super intense brain work, I finally know the name: it's Kristen Bell! I mean, it's not even like you two are THAT similar (yeah, maybe the eye shape and the colors in general), but I feel like you share the same mischievous but very bright and kind vibes. I don't know, it's strange! It suddenly came all to my mind when I saw and heard you singing to Zooey, it was totally random! Anyway, thank you so much for taking yet another one for the team, just know we all shared your suffering during the whole thing (I think I finally lost it when you started rolling your hands in circle without any apparent reason). Also, I'm so happy that you're back! ❤️
I used to do lots of her workouts, probably 20 years ago. I was postpartum and just needed something short to get a little movement in. They work for that.
I´ve been a groupfitness Instructor for 30 Years (god, I am old) and it makes me so tired to constantly educate against "spot reduction" and "fat-burning-zone". I am so glad, you do this on your channel! Thanks for your reviews!
You shaking your arms so they looked less muscular was so real. Seems like just a tiny thing to do, but so honest which is rare. Makes me not feel so bad about myself.
There are 2 reasons why most cardio machines in gyms have “fat burning zone” on them: 1 - it sounds great (in the words of Homer Simpson: “woohoo! Look at that blubber fly!” ) 2 - it’s takes so little effort (some people can get there by just bending over to tie their shoes 🥵). As for spot reduction? Technically possible, but it does involve amputation which is a bit of a bummer 😉
Thanks again for a great video Justina. My mum has done Lucy’s workouts in the past and it’s difficult because I am so glad she’s being active but also know that the workouts won’t live up to the claims!
LOL!! My first reaction was "where are the weights?" Also, your facial expression during the workouts told me everything I needed to know about the workouts 😂
a) her workout is giving 25% Tracy Anderson + 75% the stretching exercises we did in elementary school class b) if you told me she was generated by AI, I would believe you
You might get more out of the workout if you drop it into deep water aerobics. We do a lot of those moves, but the water adds resistance, and with water gloves you can up the intensity. Otherwise, yep weights are the way to go.
This is a really interesting video, Justina. I think you were right to be kind and to assume the best BUT ALSO point out problems. Well done :) Btw, I just started a progressive exercise program for people with autoimmune diseases; the knowledge I gained from your videos helped me have the insight and confidence to assess whether it was a good program or not. I'm 4 weeks into it, and it's going well! :D
Also I would love your advice as to people (me) who are full time medical students. Every day I am studying anywhere from 7-12 hours a day. How do I lose weight when most of my day is consumed in me sitting down at my desk studying. And yes I exercise 4 days a week
You can talk all you want. I work out with Lucy five days a week and have done so since 2018. I lost 96 pounds, (65 pounds in the first year) and have kept it all off. She is the only person I have ever followed and haven't spent a single penny on losing weight. I am half of the weight I used to be. Half. At 40 years old, I have never been more fit or felt better. And I owe it to lwrfitness. If you want results, it isn't a complicated math formula. Move your body. Stand up and get moving. You can tone in your living room. You can work out in your garage. You can get healthy, without lifting heavy weights--all you need is body weight. Your own body weight. I never ran before I turned 36--I run every other day now. I'm not sitting on my bed talking trash on someone that has dedicated their life to the health of others. I wanted a lean toned body, and Lucy Wyndham-Reade helped me get it!
The target group of Lucy are women that do not work out at all. If you have watched her Ted Talk, the purpose she started with the free youtube videos is her aim to make the ppl who have little or no movement to start moving regularly with workouts that do not seem intimidating or impossible to be done. And yes, for ppl who do not like to workout those workouts are a great way to add steps/mobility exercises to your habits. For all of you doing hard intense workouts or lifting weights those workouts may seem not working, but for maaaany many people they are literally a life saver - not sure if you know, but there are many doctors around the world who recommend her workouts to their patients.
@@JustinaErcole As a person who follows her daily, i think that most of her content is actually based on science - her exercises are so called multi compound and multi directional moves, which include more muscle groups, all three ranges of motion - I believe its logical if more muscles get toned - toned muscles- higher metabolism (as far as what I've read and heard not only from her). Also, she does live video every Thursday and some of the topics are medical conditions like diabetes pcos etc. Also she does a lot of videos for menopause (my both parents are doctors and I have spoken with them - her info is not misleading). Her message is to workout not to look in a certain way, but to feel good, mobilised, energised. I have done around 30-40 minutes of her workouts for a certain period of time and included more walking as well - indeed I lost some weight even though I did not change significantly my eating habits. Don't get me wrong, I am not someone who works out only with her (currently doing pilates bcs of issues with my spine - I should avoid high impact at any cost), but I did not felt quite ok for someone whose mission in life is helping people ( I follow her online since 2017) to be accused to lie. Thats all.
I just scrolled through her UA-cam page and nearly every video title and/or description is a lie. The video I did daily for a week is riddled with lies. Even the statements you’re making (I don’t blame you, I blame Lucy) are lies. You cannot tone a muscle. Moving in more planes of motion does not raise your metabolic rate. I’m thrilled you found someone you enjoy moving with, but it should not come at the expense of misinformation.
Jeremy Ethier's video 'Targeting belly fat is possible?! (new study)' says that to some extent, spot reduction may be possible. Although more research is needed.
"So we're gonna do it for 7 days so you shut up" LOL this is why I love ya! I stumbled across Lucy's channel years ago when I first got a fitbit and wanted walking videos other than Leslie Sansone. Lucy gives me Cassey vibes.
So sad to see all of this information from Lucie get around in the social media world: social media is so scary: Thank you for continuing to educate people!
14:45 Can you please make a dedicated video about the pallof press in your « How to »serie? I can’t do regular exercises for my abs since my 2nd pregnancy and I heard that the Pallof press is effective. Thanks from Montréal 🇨🇦
This is perfect viewing for whilst I'm making my homemade lemons curd ! Nutrition is definitely most of the work in weight loss. I used to follow everyone else's diet plans thinking they would work for me. Now I meet with a health coach ( a free NHS service in UK!) and I'm eating the foods that work for me ! Huge improvements already
@@JustinaErcole I didn't even know about it until a client was referred to them! And they gave me four months cheaper gym membership to get me started as well! The service goes on until you don't need them anymore 😊 Hopefully some UK residents will see this and check out their local options!
I heard bodyweight and thought like push ups or a chin up where you can use body weight to create resistance, but this looks a lot like some of the warm-up and stretching I had kids do before swim practice. Nothing wrong with people choosing a workout they enjoy, but the claims she makes bother me.
every time you talk about how spot reduction isn't possible i remember this stupid diet went on in high school that was supposed to make me lose weight in my thighs specifically? soo cringy great video and very interesting info about the fat burning zone myth🌼
Love your reviews and explanations to your critiques. It helps me be more critical about who i actually give my workout time and view to. Also, you mentioned learning about Somatic exercises in a previous video a bit a go, do you know if this something you're still considering?
I have an older Peloton video and I enjoyed the strength workout I did! But each coach programs their own classes so it’s hard to say across the board how they all hold up.
Great video! Sorry you felt the need to do this for 7 days. I think you're educated enough to look at the work out and day this is crap let alone do it once. Your commitment though is great ❤
I'm devastated by this 😭 I'm desperate to lose weight and fat and have been doing "fat-burn" exercises, i was told 25 minutes of low impact would burn 150-300 calories. So if i skip the exercise and just eat less will it work? I'm already on 1200 calories a day and was hoping i was topping up with the exercise. Now i don't know what to do.
Hey! It seems like your main goal is weight loss? If so, I'd recommend focusing on your nutrition, sleep, and daily movement. Any workouts you do will just be some extra help. If you're only eating 1200 calories daily (which is typically what a toddler needs, not an adult), you really don't need to worry about burning extra calories during a workout. I have tons of resources on setting up long term habits but feel free to message me if I can assist in any way :)
Can you make a review of Chris & Edi channel., please 🙏🏾 Their channel is sooo underrated and their workouts bloody fantastic yet effective! I love their programs
Not me thinking she meant body weight as like.. maybe some pushups and dips on a chair and such. And me thinking how for a lot of women pushups are a lot of resistance.... ohhhhhhhh mannnnn yeah, not what she was talking about. Wow.. woooowwwwww.
I get so sad that these types of workouts are sold to (especially women) as the way to get their “best arms”. It takes people further from what will actually benefit you the most- strength training
Not totally true. I’ve lost a lot of inches using body weight exercises and Lucy is one of go to. Minimal weights and I’m in the best shape of my adult life! All thanks to Lucy, GWJ, Mr. London, BodyNow to name a few. I’m lean and have definition and muscle that I never had before! Plus, I’ve not been a size 6 in decades!! Let alone the fact I’ve maintained for well over a year! If you’ve not tried it I’d suggest you do for your own research!
I’ve never done her workouts, I knew they were body weight and was never interested. So when I saw you do the workout, I thought WTH, lol. I have some online fitness friends that like her walks, but I don’t care for them. Thanks for the review, they are always interesting and fun.
You looked bored during that 7-day challenge 😂 and probably thinking "WTF?" 😂 I used to do Lucy's workouts and the reasons I stopped because 1. They bored me, and 2. In one video, I'm sure I heard her say that she doesn't like to use weights as it's not natural 🤔
This was fun. I mean, part of it was fun because you're trying not to be mean about objective nonsense, but the series is also just a nice insight into the different types of workouts influencers offer online. This may have been Lucy's, but I have seen the "X days to Y result!" video EVERYWHERE.
Well good thing a stretch is included after that workout. OMG I haven’t laughed this hard for a long time! Thank you Lucy. I really don’t like being mean but that was ridiculous. But as usual you were great, and more Zoe than usual so time well spent for me 😊
The thing with LWR is that her demographic tends to be women over 60....and that generation still tends to think in those terms (sculpt, tone, etc)...she does usually mention the diet aspect and that you should repeat the 7 minute sequence several times. But, ya... misleading but targeted to an audience that thinks that way
This video was hilarious. Your facial expression while doing that workout said it all. Waste of time. I feel like someone suggested this coach intentionally just for the laughs you would bring us. Very entertaining but yet educational at the same time.
This looked super burn arms inducing but also not effective - definitely fallen prey to these before and I’m my arms never got better from this type of exercise
How is the spot reduction claim still a thing? I guess anything goes. I was a fitness instructor and personal trainer for 28 years and there is soooo much information. It's worse now because there are many more outlets to perpetuate all this bullshit
I think that everybody with a minimum of commen sense knows that he will not get slim and toned arms in 7 days. Her audience is mainly older people, beginners, overweight, etc. It helps people, that are not gym buddies or guros of the fitness world to get on ther feet and to move and not sitting on the couch. It has helped quiet a lot of people who start with 7 minutes but than build up on this. This is called motivation.
She helps people to get healthy that normally are no fitness person. She puts a lot of effort into being creative and a lot of her 7 minute workout really work. Not because they really target the belly fat, as we all no you can not spot reduce, but because the people start moving and commit to something and for that reason they start loosing inches and because its fun. She uses it to clickbait, of course she does, but I have heard of others that use the names of way more fameous youtubers than themselves as clickbait for their videos and than they even soy mainly negatve stuff so they can pretend that what they are doing i so much more ethical.
Lucy has helped me tremendously! Has a banging body and by the way, she flat out says you CANNOT SPOT REDUCE! She is one of the most positive exercise influencers out there! I myself have dropped 70 pounds, went from a size 16 to a very comfortable 6 and have maintained this weightloss and toned body for 16 months now. How you might ask?? By alternating GWJ, Mr. London, my girl Lucy, you felt the need to hate on, and BodyNow. All of those groups are filled with positivity and kindness. Unlike this cyber bully who claims to be a dancer while she disses amazing award winning influencers mean while her own diet and exercise looks like it’s in need of a tune up. Why so much hate? Real life Regina’s are typically tolerated for too long! Hope you find peace, self love, and enlightenment positive vibes so you really do end the hateful videos dissing others that have way more positive vibes and followers than you. Sad!
Hey Jennifer! Even if Lucy has said somewhere that you can’t spot reduce fat, she contradicts it in many of her marketing tactics. I’m thrilled that you met your goal! But you shouldn’t have to be lied to by people with large followings in the process. On a more serious note, I highly recommend you don’t go around telling people they need to tune up their diet and exercise. I’m finally very secure with how my body serves me after years of restriction and obsession. But there are a lot of people out there who would spiral at that comment. Take your own advice Regina.
It amazes me that not only people follow “trainers” like this but that these “trainers” can get away with putting random words together to try to justify their shitty workouts. Does science not exist to some people!? Anyways. Thanks for another funny and informative video.
You deserve wayyyyy more subscribers. Your knowledge and the way you communicate to us is…just chefs kiss!!! Are there any other UA-cam channels that have similar viewpoints to yours ? 🤍
It is very funny to see someone concoct such a silly “workout” for arms when she could literally just do pushups and it would actually do a lot of the stuff she claims is happening with the arm flapping.
I do admire Lucy’s back story but those workouts looked like warmups. And not very good ones at that. The only positive is that she gets people off the couch. But I know some women who do her workouts and think that’s all they need. They say there’s no need to add weights. Very sad.
« That was about as stupid as I expected it to be » made me 😅 on the street.
I mean....I didn't have high hopes lol
@@JustinaErcole It's astonishing how I feel this about most influencer fitness people.

Now I meet with a health coach ( a free NHS service in UK!) and I'm eating the foods that work for me !
Huge improvements already
omg i wish we had a service like that in the US!
@@JustinaErcole I didn't even know about it until a client was referred to them!
And they gave me four months cheaper gym membership to get me started as well!
The service goes on until you don't need them anymore 😊
Hopefully some UK residents will see this and check out their local options!
I heard bodyweight and thought like push ups or a chin up where you can use body weight to create resistance, but this looks a lot like some of the warm-up and stretching I had kids do before swim practice. Nothing wrong with people choosing a workout they enjoy, but the claims she makes bother me.
Same!
every time you talk about how spot reduction isn't possible i remember this stupid diet went on in high school that was supposed to make me lose weight in my thighs specifically? soo cringy
great video and very interesting info about the fat burning zone myth🌼
Love your reviews and explanations to your critiques. It helps me be more critical about who i actually give my workout time and view to.
Also, you mentioned learning about Somatic exercises in a previous video a bit a go, do you know if this something you're still considering?
I am considering! Honestly I just don’t have the time for that heavy research and it’s really hard to find experts in the field that aren’t quacks lol
I hope you can review "Christina Dorner" - she's got a lot of different types of workouts, great energy, and lists her certificates
I think she's in the bowl somewhere :)
Can you review peloton strength classes! I absolutely love them but would love to learn more about if they are effective
I have an older Peloton video and I enjoyed the strength workout I did! But each coach programs their own classes so it’s hard to say across the board how they all hold up.
Great video! Sorry you felt the need to do this for 7 days. I think you're educated enough to look at the work out and day this is crap let alone do it once. Your commitment though is great ❤
Had to make sure I tested it for science lol
I'm devastated by this 😭 I'm desperate to lose weight and fat and have been doing "fat-burn" exercises, i was told 25 minutes of low impact would burn 150-300 calories. So if i skip the exercise and just eat less will it work? I'm already on 1200 calories a day and was hoping i was topping up with the exercise. Now i don't know what to do.
Hey! It seems like your main goal is weight loss? If so, I'd recommend focusing on your nutrition, sleep, and daily movement. Any workouts you do will just be some extra help. If you're only eating 1200 calories daily (which is typically what a toddler needs, not an adult), you really don't need to worry about burning extra calories during a workout. I have tons of resources on setting up long term habits but feel free to message me if I can assist in any way :)
@@JustinaErcole oh thank you so much!
Can you make a review of Chris & Edi channel., please 🙏🏾
Their channel is sooo underrated and their workouts bloody fantastic yet effective! I love their programs
I have to get through my bowl first!
Not me thinking she meant body weight as like.. maybe some pushups and dips on a chair and such. And me thinking how for a lot of women pushups are a lot of resistance.... ohhhhhhhh mannnnn yeah, not what she was talking about. Wow.. woooowwwwww.
I felt transported back to 2012 with this workout lol
Seems like a nice warm up to an actual upper body lifting weight session...
😅
Potentially!
The Cat ❤❤❤
I can’t believe she sat there the whole time lol
I would love your thoughts on April Whitney. She creates content and programs for petite women.
I think she creates a lot of problems that don’t exist simply to sell a product.
@@JustinaErcole Thanks for this simple but effective answer!
That was so fun!
So glad you enjoyed!
I get so sad that these types of workouts are sold to (especially women) as the way to get their “best arms”. It takes people further from what will actually benefit you the most- strength training
100%!
Agree, people follow things like this than get no results, get frustated and quit.
Not totally true. I’ve lost a lot of inches using body weight exercises and Lucy is one of go to. Minimal weights and I’m in the best shape of my adult life! All thanks to Lucy, GWJ, Mr. London, BodyNow to name a few. I’m lean and have definition and muscle that I never had before! Plus, I’ve not been a size 6 in decades!! Let alone the fact I’ve maintained for well over a year! If you’ve not tried it I’d suggest you do for your own research!
@@jrnmrn I'd love to hear more about the controlled studies you're conducting!
I’ve never done her workouts, I knew they were body weight and was never interested. So when I saw you do the workout, I thought WTH, lol. I have some online fitness friends that like her walks, but I don’t care for them. Thanks for the review, they are always interesting and fun.
glad you enjoyed!
Many people swear by her 7 days for abs, showing videos with results.
I would be curious if they changed anything else!
You looked bored during that 7-day challenge 😂 and probably thinking "WTF?" 😂 I used to do Lucy's workouts and the reasons I stopped because 1. They bored me, and 2. In one video, I'm sure I heard her say that she doesn't like to use weights as it's not natural 🤔
It was like pulling teeth daily lol
This was fun. I mean, part of it was fun because you're trying not to be mean about objective nonsense, but the series is also just a nice insight into the different types of workouts influencers offer online. This may have been Lucy's, but I have seen the "X days to Y result!" video EVERYWHERE.
Absolutely! She’s not the only one who does this.
Your face while doing these workouts are precious! Lol
It was like pulling teeth lol
Well good thing a stretch is included after that workout. OMG I haven’t laughed this hard for a long time! Thank you Lucy. I really don’t like being mean but that was ridiculous. But as usual you were great, and more Zoe than usual so time well spent for me 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you add Jasper Macdermot to your list!?
I think he's in the bowl!
@@JustinaErcole awesome!
The thing with LWR is that her demographic tends to be women over 60....and that generation still tends to think in those terms (sculpt, tone, etc)...she does usually mention the diet aspect and that you should repeat the 7 minute sequence several times. But, ya... misleading but targeted to an audience that thinks that way
since she has such a large audience, I'd love to see her educate them rather than continue the lies.
This video was hilarious. Your facial expression while doing that workout said it all. Waste of time. I feel like someone suggested this coach intentionally just for the laughs you would bring us. Very entertaining but yet educational at the same time.
glad you enjoyed!
9:53 great advice!! 😂😂😂
😹😹😹
This looked super burn arms inducing but also not effective - definitely fallen prey to these before and I’m my arms never got better from this type of exercise
yeah for someone with a lot of upper body strength already, it's not really going to do anything unfortunately
Haha I have no upper body strength 🤣 - just really messed up shoulders and this makes it worst
❤Zoe!
She came to say hi :)
How is the spot reduction claim still a thing? I guess anything goes. I was a fitness instructor and personal trainer for 28 years and there is soooo much information. It's worse now because there are many more outlets to perpetuate all this bullshit
it's truly insane to me that people still do this lol
@@JustinaErcole Amen. Just bigger venues to fool more of the "quick fix addicted" masses
Impressed you did it for 7 days 😂
Honestly same lol
I think that everybody with a minimum of commen sense knows that he will not get slim and toned arms in 7 days. Her audience is mainly older people, beginners, overweight, etc. It helps people, that are not gym buddies or guros of the fitness world to get on ther feet and to move and not sitting on the couch. It has helped quiet a lot of people who start with 7 minutes but than build up on this. This is called motivation.
So instead of holding people accountable for their words and message, we should blame the consumer for believing them?
She helps people to get healthy that normally are no fitness person. She puts a lot of effort into being creative and a lot of her 7 minute workout really work. Not because they really target the belly fat, as we all no you can not spot reduce, but because the people start moving and commit to something and for that reason they start loosing inches and because its fun. She uses it to clickbait, of course she does, but I have heard of others that use the names of way more fameous youtubers than themselves as clickbait for their videos and than they even soy mainly negatve stuff so they can pretend that what they are doing i so much more ethical.
Lucy has helped me tremendously! Has a banging body and by the way, she flat out says you CANNOT SPOT REDUCE! She is one of the most positive exercise influencers out there! I myself have dropped 70 pounds, went from a size 16 to a very comfortable 6 and have maintained this weightloss and toned body for 16 months now. How you might ask?? By alternating GWJ, Mr. London, my girl Lucy, you felt the need to hate on, and BodyNow. All of those groups are filled with positivity and kindness. Unlike this cyber bully who claims to be a dancer while she disses amazing award winning influencers mean while her own diet and exercise looks like it’s in need of a tune up.
Why so much hate? Real life Regina’s are typically tolerated for too long! Hope you find peace, self love, and enlightenment positive vibes so you really do end the hateful videos dissing others that have way more positive vibes and followers than you. Sad!
Hey Jennifer! Even if Lucy has said somewhere that you can’t spot reduce fat, she contradicts it in many of her marketing tactics. I’m thrilled that you met your goal! But you shouldn’t have to be lied to by people with large followings in the process.
On a more serious note, I highly recommend you don’t go around telling people they need to tune up their diet and exercise. I’m finally very secure with how my body serves me after years of restriction and obsession. But there are a lot of people out there who would spiral at that comment. Take your own advice Regina.
Lucy Rocks 💖
Wow you have a beautiful voice!
aw thanks!
U have a beautiful voice❤
aw thank you!
It amazes me that not only people follow “trainers” like this but that these “trainers” can get away with putting random words together to try to justify their shitty workouts. Does science not exist to some people!? Anyways. Thanks for another funny and informative video.
Glad you enjoyed!
I don't like being mean, but that workout looked so boring. Let's play the positive game. Could this be a good arm workout for someone older?
Hard to say what’s “good” without knowing someone’s goals. But I honestly can’t think of a demographic I would recommend this to.
You deserve wayyyyy more subscribers. Your knowledge and the way you communicate to us is…just chefs kiss!!! Are there any other UA-cam channels that have similar viewpoints to yours ? 🤍
aw thank you! You'll probably also like Briannah Jewel if you like my style :)
This workout reminds me of Tracy Campoli’s “ bat wings” workout to lose arm fat.
omggggg bat wings, haven't heard that phrase in a decade lol
@@JustinaErcole that video is pretty old lol, but I still see it on UA-cam
I went to her channel and I was surprised that she has 2,4 mi subscribers. I watched a full body workout video there. It's the same kind of thing
Yep tons of subscribers!
It is very funny to see someone concoct such a silly “workout” for arms when she could literally just do pushups and it would actually do a lot of the stuff she claims is happening with the arm flapping.
Right??
Holy shit! What uneducated amd ridiculous claims!!
I felt transported back to 2012 lol
Her Lucy videos are so clickbaity smh. I press Don’t recommend channel 😤😤
I do admire Lucy’s back story but those workouts looked like warmups. And not very good ones at that. The only positive is that she gets people off the couch. But I know some women who do her workouts and think that’s all they need. They say there’s no need to add weights. Very sad.
