This is going to sound silly, but I like how you acknowledge that you maybe drank too much the day before, had a good day and treated your body nicely with this workout. It was refreshing to hear and I’m enjoying your vlogmas series so far.🖤
I love that you are transparent about being really tired and that you didn't hit the workout as hard because you listened to your body....we need more UA-camrs like you Justina 😊 Excited for Penny!
Ykno, you have SO many names in the bowl that I think even after vlogmas you should continue the review! Your review videos are super useful and not to mention helps inform us about fitness creators we didn't know about!
Vlogmas is mental thing -- imagine churning one video after the other until December 25th? This episode of yours is so giving! I admire the tenacity, my goodness!
Hi Justina! I really appreciate your style, values and personality. Your communication is informative, funny and in the web this is rare. I'm subscribed and I watch your video, even if I do not work out. I love to support people like you, it's great to see someone put so much effort into a passion and transform it into a work. Keep going on!!
I’ve learned so much from the guys at MindPump. I used to listen to their podcast every day when I would go for a long walk. Used to walk 3-5 miles a day while I took a break from strength training. And I’d be listening to the “You’re not gonna get strong just walking every day.” Hahaha! But truly - they know so much. But yes, they can be very bro-y. 😂
I recognized Sugar Freak as your brunch spot! I only went there once many years ago, so I don't remember how it was, but I loved the colorful interior, and it's a longtime Astoria place, a real staple.
I loved your vlogmas series and I have to say that this is the one that has resonated the most with me. I've learned and ton since you introduced me to MAPS/MindPump. Thank you!
Your Christmas sweater is CUTE! So I really hope you came in last at the ugly sweater contest, otherwise I'll fight the judges! These guys...never heard of them, but they seem super chill and very knowledgeable, I'm inspired to try one of their workouts thanks to you! Keep up the awesomeness, Justina!
I've been following Anabolic for 2 years now! My body is too sensitive to stress so I mostly rotate phases 2 and 3 and I still get great results. Any pure strength phases or high intensity exercise gives me insomnia... My sports doctors says some people are just wired that way. Still bummed about it but at least I won't max out my dumbbells anytime soon 😅😅😅
@@abhinitadas9474 About an hour: I train on my lunch break when I work from home. Phase 1 takes the longest: I would do the last 2 or 3 exercise later in the day. Phases 2 and 3 are doable if I skip the shoulder shrugs and do the ab exercise after work.
i am loving these and appreciate how well you articulate the good bad and otherwise with respect and care. i do think you are possibly a bit too worried about caroline lashing out. 🤪 you GET to be honest.
Thank you again for this vlogmas, loved it! Not sure if this influencer could be for me as I don't like going to the gym, so I don't have a gym subscription and it seems to me like you need lots of equipment and all I have are dumbbells, yoga mat and blocks, bands/booty bands, jump rope and that is it. But loved the review! Sorry you aren't feeling your best, but you picked one of my favs for tomorrow so I am excited about it and looking forward to it🤩! Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Most, if not all, of their programs have dumbbell versions. Some also have band versions. Plus they also sell specific programs for at home that require very minimal equipment.
Hi Justina, I just found you and I really like your content! thank you for reviewing this program. I purchased this program too but have not started yet. A bit of a silly question, where in the program do i find the reps on each movement? Thank you :)
Which video has the comments with all the names you put in the bowl? Wondering if anyone added Lift with Cee! Would love for you to review her stuff :)
This was very informative. I had never heard of this program before and I almost didn't watch it (thought it would be a little to "Gym Bro") but I am really glad that I did and working full body or a muscle group more than once a week actually makes a lot of sense
Do you have any equipment suggestions for doing their workouts at home? Is it practical to adapt their routine without owning gym quality equipment? My health is just not that good and I’m working on building muscle to counteract hypermobility (also need safe workouts) and improve resting metabolism, improve pelvic health after years of battling endometriosis and bladder cancer, improve blood sugar, and reconditioning after developing POTS so am beyond far from trying to be a bodybuilder but love a variety of sound, safe, gimmick free routines (online have done a lot of HasFit, Jessica Smith, and long ago Kathy Smith, Jari Love, Gilad, and Firm DVDs and lots of purchase from Collage Video LOL). Thank you for clarifying HIIT in this series BTW-I first learned that term and tabata when the ROM machine was marketed as a way to workout in just a few minutes in fancy magazine ads back in the day and I think most home workouts are not true HIIT.
They share an at home version when you get the program. I've been doing it with adjustable dumbbells, bands and and a pull-up bar (still can't do pull-ups for the life of me, though 😅)
@@soyness8036 that’s really cool! With hypermobility it’s probably not great for me to do the pull ups anyway but it would for sure be good if I was strong enough to. Thanks for the info!
Hi, did you try MAPS Anabolic? I also have a lot of health issues including hypermobility, chronic pain (hEDS,) POTS, and MCAS and I have to be super careful, but I've been really wanting to try this! ...maybe the at-home version...
You can do a two week trial on her website if you want to try it for an upcoming video. I feel like I always agree with your insights so it’d be super interesting to hear your feedback
This is going to sound silly, but I like how you acknowledge that you maybe drank too much the day before, had a good day and treated your body nicely with this workout.
It was refreshing to hear and I’m enjoying your vlogmas series so far.🖤
Gotta keep it honest! :) so glad you’re enjoying
great callout!
We're so spoiled with these daily videos!! (thank you)
You’re so welcome!

Loving vlogmas! This is great exposure to different types of workouts!
Loveee! Okay so below are my go-tos:

I love that you are transparent about being really tired and that you didn't hit the workout as hard because you listened to your body....we need more UA-camrs like you Justina 😊
Excited for Penny!

Stay tuned… 👀
@@JustinaErcole girl...😎
I listen to them and they are one of my favorites purely for their knowledge.
So glad you reviewed them!
They're soooo smart!

Ohhhh yeah 100%

Hahha they’re the ultimate bros but super smart!
I got MAPS Anabolic 6 weeks ago...the results are unbelievable, 100% recommending it!
that's awesome!
I’m enjoying this series so much!! Thank you soo much for your efforts it’s honestly incredible❤️❤️❤️
you're so welcome!
You loaded so much great info into this video! I loved it and this whole series overall. Thank you!
so glad you're enjoying!

They moved to a new location (where MexiQ used to be) and it’s hugeeee now!
I’m loving vlogmas this year! Thanks for giving me something to watch on my treadmill cool down walk everyday 😂
So glad you’re enjoying!
The mindpump guys are the best.

So glad you gave them 10/10! I proposed them because I’m following exactly Anabolic but I also value your opinion.. so double win!😂🎉
It seems like a great program!
Hey just wanted to check with you how much time does every workout in Anabolic take?
@@abhinitadas9474 bit more than 1h. I don’t do more than 4 sets when I have to choose
Dude, I came for the Anabolic Review (which was RAD), BUT....Damn that Brunch looked good (I had to rewind that for second go-round).
it was the perfect fuel for the workout :)
I love that you workout without sneakers too. I do the same thing when I'm doing at home workouts!
It’s SOOOO much better for you!
@@JustinaErcole oh my gosh, really?! I had no idea! That's awesome!
Was that an The Incredibles reference? 🙃
Also, him being on the couch while you worked out. 🤣
hahaha yes it was :)
Im enjoying just more of Justina each day! ❤❤
So glad you’re enjoying!
excited for Penny's review tomorrow!! She and Vera Laro are my current favourites!!! :)
Hope you like it!
Your Christmas sweater is CUTE! So I really hope you came in last at the ugly sweater contest, otherwise I'll fight the judges!
These guys...never heard of them, but they seem super chill and very knowledgeable, I'm inspired to try one of their workouts thanks to you!

Hey wanted to check with you how much time does their workouts take?? Is it doable in an hour?? Or goes beyond that?
@@abhinitadas9474 About an hour: I train on my lunch break when I work from home. Phase 1 takes the longest: I would do the last 2 or 3 exercise later in the day. Phases 2 and 3 are doable if I skip the shoulder shrugs and do the ab exercise after work.
@@soyness8036 Thank You
No surprise that you loved their programming and this was a 10 on 10.
Such a great program!
i am loving these and appreciate how well you articulate the good bad and otherwise with respect and care. i do think you are possibly a bit too worried about caroline lashing out. 🤪 you GET to be honest.
I can be honest BUT it needs to come with a purpose :)

I've been following the program for two years with adjustable dumbbels ^^
You could totally get away with adjustable dumbbells here!
@@soyness8036 oh, ok. That's good to know. I'll should give them a try then. Thank you!
@@JustinaErcole ok, thank you for that tip. Maybe I'll try them👍🏼.

It’s called I’m doing 23 days of workouts.
love the MP vid focus on pause and slow eccentric.. find that so much better for me. Great video, had no idea about triggers..
Glad you enjoyed!

Shout out to brunch at the local New Orleans spot! 🙌
wow, it could be my pref workout. At 59 I like to improve muscles, and that's my kind of workout. thank you Justina for those reviews!
you're so welcome!
Good breakdown and review. Kudos!! Hope the hangover IA gone now.
Fly Eagles Fly! That was a rough one...Great content, Justina!
Oof we’re having a rough end of season lol
@@JustinaErcole lol has not been pretty!
Oh how I wish that someone put Evlo/Dr. Shannon Ritchey as a suggestion! Would love to hear your take on her approach.
It doesn't sound familiar so I don't think they're in there :( maybe next year!

Wait, so why did he need his supersuit? 🤔
hahaha he was looking for his laptop. we do that whenever we can't find something lol
That's a reference to the movie, The Incredibles.
Great video! I kinda want to check out Mind Pump's content now! 😁
Their podcast is super informative!
I love your "Broadway Bodies" shirt 😍 Is there somewhere we can purchase one for ourselves, or was it specific to somewhere you were?
Thanks! That was a studio I used to work for, but they closed during the pandemic 😫
@@JustinaErcole Oh no, sorry to hear that! 😢 I still love it & it looks great on you
is it best to workout b arefoot?
Many studies show it is for many people! You have better connection to the floor, stability, and you can help strengthen the arch.
Sorry about the birds 😬
Not our best game lol
Thank you for this! Have you ever checked out EVLO Fitness? I would love to know your thoughts on Dr. Shannon's program
Never heard of it!
You can do a two week trial on her website if you want to try it for an upcoming video. I feel like I always agree with your insights so it’d be super interesting to hear your feedback
