As someone who works out exclusively at home with weights, this is incredibly helpful. Makes me want to record my own workouts and take a look at what I'm actually doing 😅
I did not expect this to be so helpful, but it really was. I'm doing more focus on hypertrophy at the minute and i am finding i need to do a little pilates flow to keep my back completely happy. I think that tells me that i still need.to improve on my form.
Listen. This made me so happy to see. I think you are one of the most knowledgeable people I follow and I admire you so much...so to see that even YOU made some of these mistakes makes me feel better lolol
This was soo funny! Love your comments 😂 Also I can't even express how helpfull it was! I have a lot of knowledge now on what I need to work on- thank you! 😃
Toes-down during tabletop position is such a great tip. Sometimes I feel the glute that should be mostly at rest firing up just to keep balanced/stable while the other leg is moving.
It makes me so sad that you know you have to ask people not to comment on your previous body. You'd think we would've all learned that we just shouldn't comment on other people's bodies. 😕
“Baby Justina” 😂 You are so funny! I love that you can roast yourself 😅 Squat Step Up & Scrunches, when you laughed at yourself 😂 Your laugh made me almost spit out my coffee 🤣😂 DB Swings “I think this one wins for the worst one, holy s**t” 😂🤣😂🤣 Question: Reverse Lunges….I thought you aren’t ever supposed to have your knee over the toe. Maybe that why they aggravate my lower back. Possibly I’m stepping back too far too thinking I can’t ever let my knee go over my toes or I could possibly injure myself? Somehow I have that instilled in my brain. Great video Justina! ❤❤
@@JustinaErcole I understand that, but I was always informed that if you do certain exercises and your knees go over your toes, you can be injured. That’s why I always watch that when I’m doing static lunges, squats, or any type of lunge. I just wanted to know if that’s correct or not, and if it isn’t can you tell me what is correct?
@@jeanavery4451 Sorry I thought I was clear but rereading I wasn't. You could be injured doing ANY exercise if you're not strong in a certain range of motion. But there is nothing wrong with training knees over toes. The issue comes if you can't handle the ROM or load, but that can go for anything. I hope that helps!
Hey Christina! I have learned so much from you.❤ Quick question, I have been trying to add more twisting in my core/rotation, and I was wondering what is your opinion on Romanian twists (C curved spine, holding a weight and twisting)? I know you say what are your goals and my goal for putting this in is mobility and spine strength, and preventing injury in everyday life (like reaching for something in the back seat of my car lol). Is this too risky and/or what other exercises would be better or should I add to my routine?
Hey! I think it’s fine, but I prefer things like rotational slams, cable chops, and bicycles only because most people have trouble controlling a weighted Russian twist.
Holy crap, lady! This is so helpful. I just took so many notes for cueing and ideas for my upcoming class. It was tons of fun to watch you roast yourself, but my main takeaway is how much you have grown as an instructor, in knowledge and in your own physical skill. You’re amazing; I appreciate the hell outta you. Question: would you recommend bodyweight Turkish getups or half getups in a class? I really love the mobility aspect but also know they can be more time-intensive to teach; time we don’t always have in a group class. I have this picture in my head of using them in the warmup and adding a component each class (since I plan to do a kind of “progressive” thing). Thoughts?
Blondie, you leave Justina alone! It's great that you can laugh at yourself, that is the Key to happiness. The bend over row, oh boy I can relate. When I do those at the gym the gym instructor looks like he is regretting ALL of he's life decisions.
Thank you! I learnt stuff. Going to check my back toe in Bulgarians. Thanks for the deadlift tips as welli will double check I am stopping when my hips stop. It is super easy to forget these basic cues even when you have been dping this for a long time. And I see a lot of scary form from almost every youtube creator with RDLs, but we won't mention them by name, let's call them Garoline Cirvan as a composite term (I still love their workouts) The squat steps with punches was adorbs... Baby Justina looked soooo serious!😂
I know you asked for no body comments but my goodness 2024 Justine (which is when I found you) is a beautiful woman in every possible aspect. You are strong and smart and kind and clever and everything anyone should aim to be more of. Your content is so inspiring and supportive. You only snark when people deserve criticism and you are so good at keeping comments about behaviour/practice not personal. I was so excited/nervous to see you review Lift with Cee because I LOVE her and would honestly have dropped her workouts immediately if you’d said they were rubbish. I trust you implicitly because you have all the knowledge to base your practice on but are still so humble. You don’t take yourself too seriously and that’s rare enough in the world of online fitness. Thank you for all the amazing free content you put out there for the good of mankind. I learn so much and you are so insanely likeable that I’m sure we all feel like you’d be a friend if we met in real life. Thank you so much.
Don't hate me buuuutt... I don't know how to explain it but something about the bent-over row gave me beachbody vibes 😬🙈🙈😂😂 I think it's bc I watched so much of Briannah Jewel's content when she would react to beachbody workouts and typically either the form was simply not great, or it would be like a bent over row plus some insane combo move, and maybe it looks like yours was the precursor to some other combo exercise haha This video was great, the info was very helpful 😊 have a great weekend!❤
I’m new in the personal training field and something I keep wondering about is, do you stick to a ‘workout routine’ with a client for about 8 weeks to build muscle (which isn’t possible constantly switching exercises) or do you constantly switch things up because you also want it to be fun? Or does it depend on the goals of the client? Thank you so much!
Bulgarian split squat & lunges are the most difficult for me. I can’t get much range of motion & the stability is so hard. Should I just keep working on these regardless, working with the range I’ve got or work my way up to them somehow?

i'm so glad it was helpful!
Love that you can look back and “roast yourself “ seeing how you’ve gained even more knowledge.
I didn’t realize I needed the back toe tucked under for bird dog. Thanks! Laughing at the Twilight comment, your expression kind of fits, lol.
You can totally do it without the toe tucked, but i find people are just focusing on not falling over at that point haha
@@sherryg1838 I also didn't realize. Gonna try and keep this in mind next time I bird dog!
The dumbbell swings got me 😂
Dude me too lol

Possibly! It could also be a volume issue.

Your posture in many exercises was giving ballerina, I understand it was not optimal but it was sweet 😅 you've grown so much, you're a true example
So true!
We love and applaud a self-reflective QUEEN!!!
"shakira, shakira..." 🤣😁❤

At least the reminder worked and hopefully educated people on why it’s not appropriate to comment on others bodies!

Your knees go over your toes every day up and down stair, squatting down, walking, etc. So definitely something you should train!

Baby Justina took herself far too seriously lol
Loved the dramatic look to the camera in the 90-90-stretch hahah
that theatre degree keeping the drama alive lol
I love how you are just staring directly at the camera🤣
hahahahahahah same

Stoppppp this is so kind! Grateful to have you here ❤️
Can you do a video on how to progress up to a pistol squat? like ankle and hip mobility exercises along with squat variations
I can’t do one 😂 but yes I can make that on Instagram!
@@JustinaErcole awesome! I know it's not exactly functional but it's still a really neat exercise!
Love this!
KB swing.. 😅😅😅.. I love this!
Glad you enjoyed!
Side question: do you still have the shimmery purple (?) tank? I love it!
I don't!!! I wish I kept it but I got rid of it at a time where I gained weight and was purging clothes that no longer served me :)
@@JustinaErcole fair enough. I’ve done that before.
Don't hate me buuuutt...

It 100% depends on the client’s goals! Most of my clients work in 4 week blocks because they like to change things up :)
Watch my video about progressive overload! It discussed this :)
Bulgarian split squat & lunges are the most difficult for me. I can’t get much range of motion & the stability is so hard. Should I just keep working on these regardless, working with the range I’ve got or work my way up to them somehow?
Start with normal split squat on the floor! Then progress to those other options :)
I Can always tell if Im using my lower back byu how I feel after a couple reps.
I miss Simply Fit/Simply Cycle Astoria😢
Me too!!!
Those dumbbell swings are... not it lol
Hahahahhaha agreed
