While we are all aware of the benefits of regular exercise on our body and mind, there seems to be a gap in understanding that not all exercise is right for everyone. If you are battling with stress and anxiety, HIIT or any high intensity training can often make things worse. When you push yourself and your heart rate to your max effort your body releases cortisol, aka stress hormones, leaving you in fight or flight syndrome. Which is totally fine for someone with well functioning nervous system, but for an individual with dysregulated nervous system, it’ll only amplify the problem. I believe in gentle consistency and staying kind to your body and mind. Every since I’ve adopted my workouts to suit my individual needs rather than following the trends I’ve seen much better results. Remember you don’t have to ‘kill yourself’ 7 days a week with high intensity training to see results. Adopt the training to work for you, even if it means taking a 20 minute walk daily. ❤
I love this workout because I have very high cortisol levels so any hiit or high impact exercises won't help me lose weight. Please make more low impact videos like this for us high cortisol people!
That’s fantastic! I did it yesterday and today. Active calories 250 Total calories 326 My heart rate was 152 all the way through Thank you very much! Gonna stick to this routine for a month to see what will happen
I would definitely agree! Thank you Olivia for keeping yourself up-to-date and helping us greatly in the process. As I'm getting older those killer HIIT workouts have had no benefit to me at all, only causing stress and weight gain. I realise now that low impact resistance workouts and strength workouts like yours are the best way to go. Love this workout and appreciate all you do! 👍🏾👌🏾
Great workout. I've been doing your walking workouts 3 times a week since December and they're the only thing besides yoga I've been able to stick with since having kids. I can feel myself getting stronger. Thank you!
Thank you Olivia for the great workout and comments! As a suggestion, I feel if you use more light in the front and zoom in a little bit more, it will become better.
Very low impact. Heart rate stayed between 115-120 for me, so my watch clocked it as "weight-control" which is a step below "aerobic." It's a good starter exercise, good for people with high-stress, or as a warm-up for high-impact after, (I have PCOS but am at the point in my fitness where I prefer anaerobic exercises). If anyone reading this has PCOS, I highly recommend getting a tight sleep schedule. It'll really help with cortisol as well. My weight melted off after I started sleeping before 11:30pm for about 8 hours.
Yay! Tysm Olivia, I greatly enjoyed this and appreciate your fitness knowledge. Love the variety and balanced workouts you provide. Grateful for you! ❤🙏🏼😘✨
Hello dear Olivia❤ Did this today and wow i am amazed - without jumping like crazy i have burnt 300 kcal only in 30 minutes ! I dont know how you did that 😅 Maybe you could do a series of those "lower your cortisol" workouts 🎉 Best regards from Poland ❤
I realized when in junior high I weight around 80kg and succeeded to lose weight during my time in high school around 60kg. But recently I'm turning 29 and losing weight is a hard work, back then I just need to reduce some amount of food in take and do some skipping, but now even regularly doing squat, push up, plank, jumping didn't make much progress. Some reels come up about cortisol in my Insta so I start look for it, and change into mild 30 minutes cardio, and didn't push myself so much, I start to eat less and feel refreshing. Even though losing weight will be a long journey, but slowly but not stressing is my way to go, I can't with to much pressure recently due to some depression and traumatic event while I'm 26, I become someone different and some part of me is awaken that as long as I keep track on calories and doing exersice I can still live healthy. Couldn't keep up with the skinny trend but try to be healthy
Really great, did this in my Luteal phase right before my period! I know some say the love the music but would appreciate some videos with maybe a wordless playlist option!
The workout was great. I just wish she guided us into the next exercise after doing the first one that i way I don't have to pause and watch to learn then watch and workout.
Super fun and challenged me! Thanks to you, I have been staying consistent because your videos make me actually want to exercise. I always feel so accomplished and happy afterwards! As always, thanks Olivia! 💖
Wow. Glad I found you, this one kept me steady moving. I only did 16 mins this first time around, as I was only seeking a short workout today. Will definitely revisit for the full workout! Currently (June 2024) I walk 45 mins, 5 days a wk but needed a change of pace and at least a 15 min workout based around cortisol level workouts, so felt this was perfect once I saw it was the pace I was hoping for. Great vid!
Love this one, Olivia❤ so energizing with fun moves. Absolutely LOVED the cool down, with the long holds. Time flew by and I really liked the music you selected. I usually use my own music but on preview, I was really liking the music so I went with it. I am so happy with your workouts and SO incredibly grateful I found your channel. I do your sessions nearly every day now❤❤❤ You are amazing! Thank you for all you do!
I loved that this routine is cortisol-free! But I believe it is made for cardiovascular health and coordination. NOT for muscle growth. It would be awesome if you can tell me which routines in your channel are cortisol free BUT designed for muscle building - which is super important for people with hormonal disbalances such as me :) Thank you!
Really great workout as always ❤ I do like the mood lighting but when watching on my phone it's sometimes difficult to see what your arms are doing when going out in front of your body. Thanks for all you do xx
I like the video, but would you consider doing shorter ones? Everybody has 35 4045 minutes or an hour to do the exercise. When you can’t finish the whole video sometimes it plays a mind game with you like oh I feel like I’m a failure cause I couldn’t finish this when it’s really a time factor.I could always stop the video after 15 minutes but in fact, that’s the same thing like I can’t finish it. 15 minute ones would be awesome. That being said, I appreciate all the hard work you do to put these out for us and the time that it takes you to do them as well. Thank you.
I suffer from anxiety, so I wonder is it good for me to do any HIIT at all? Or to try to mix trainings like this one with low impact HIIT? Thank you for everything you do for us on this channell ❤
We are all different and I can’t really speak for every individual. HIIT training has many benefits but there are plenty of alternatives out there. The dips and highs in HR during HIIT training is what drives cortisol levels up. I would suggest sticking to a workout that will keep your hr relatively steady throughout. Hope this helps 🤗xx
wonderful. Recently the PhD study is giving me stress and nothing is working. I have started doing this twice a week. One Question. Is this aimed at losing weight? I got pcos and hypothyroid and I don't really feel comfortable doing most of the workouts recommended for pcos girls.
Hi, I have been working out for abs and still did not see any progress for months (not the abs forming, but my tummy getting smaller). It was still the same size, I felt like it was getting bigger and bigger :( So maybe cortisol levels were my problem because I had a high-intensity abs workout. Do you take any supplements for lowering cortisol? Pls let me know, it will be really helpful. Thank you ♥️

Why r u even HERE ? Trolling. Go take a walk and go away !!!
Amen to that❤
0.5x speed extra calm
@@hisayumihi, no not yet 😊
Is it ok to use light weights or ankle weights to increase intensity of this training? Or both? 💪🔥
I love this workout because I have very high cortisol levels so any hiit or high impact exercises won't help me lose weight. Please make more low impact videos like this for us high cortisol people!
Does this help you reduce cortisol level... I mean do you see any changes in you??
302 cal and a light sweat, but my shoulders are burning. Not bad for a Sunday afternoon. Thank you Olivia for another gentle but effective workout.
I've always like your walking exercises, but this one, with the built-in cooldown is so far the best. More of this please.
That’s fantastic! I did it yesterday and today.
Active calories 250
Total calories 326
My heart rate was 152 all the way through
Thank you very much! Gonna stick to this routine for a month to see what will happen

Awesome work out today. Thanks a lot, Olivia.
Great workout that I did at work!
Will definitely be doing this. Thank you. I wonder if you could create a playlist for low cortisol workouts...
All walking workouts in this channel would be classed as cortisol friendly. 🤗
Thank you Olivia for the great workout and comments!
As a suggestion, I feel if you use more light in the front and zoom in a little bit more, it will become better.
Thank you Olivia, I don’t have high cortisol but it’s a really good workout to do all the same.
I really love this workout! Thank you Olivia ❤
This is definitely for me! Thank you!

It would be awesome if you can tell me which routines in your channel are cortisol free BUT designed for muscle building - which is super important for people with hormonal disbalances such as me :)
Thank you!
I love it ! Could you do more like this ? Or base on the cycle ? Hormones can be a real pain in the ass for working out and lose weight.
Thank you, very complet.
Yeni harikalara vesile oldunuz🤌 Üzerime yağmur yağmışcasina terliyimmm.😍 Veeee yine nöbet öncesi SİZ🎉

I like to do a walking workout after lifting weights. Do you recommend this one?
hola gracias muy padre 😻💓👍👏🤜
84 kcal, boosts mood at certain points, by the end of it you get tired and sweaty
wonderful. Recently the PhD study is giving me stress and nothing is working. I have started doing this twice a week. One Question. Is this aimed at losing weight? I got pcos and hypothyroid and I don't really feel comfortable doing most of the workouts recommended for pcos girls.
Sooooo good - loved it ❤
OMG! I've been seeking cortisol frree programs!!!
Are these workouts made for muscle building? I need that for my hormone health :)
The strength workouts are. Most of mine are low impact, which is ideal for anyone seeking cortisol friendly workouts x
