You're a great educator! I love this series because you're showing off a lot of options for workouts and coaches that don't require a $$$ gym membership. I would love to hear you talk about some pros and cons of individual workouts (following your own program) vs. Group fitness -- I assume you've done both and you coach both, so that would be an interesting topic!!
that's a great video idea!
I LOVE that you said strength training now is like investing in your 401k. As someone who struggles to strength train (or do cardio if I’m being honest) but will do anything to preserve my quality of life, this hit home for me. Even though I’m under 30, I’ve been programmed to save/invest/plan for my future, and this is SUCH a new way to look at fitness for me. I’m mindblown, honestly!
I’m so glad that clicked for you!
This series is introducing me to do many new people! I missed the chance to suggest a trainer for review, but Fitness with PJ has been my go-to for the past few years. She focuses on over 40 training and is incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and effective! I suggest her to everyone; she knows her sh*t and my body (and mind) is better because of her :)
I love that!
PJ is such a sweetie. I’ve done her stretch workout on repeat
I love her! Her workouts have immensely contributed to my fitness progress . I will be forever grateful to her for that!
so glad you've found someone you love!
I love the fact that your family also works in health care and physical wellness! ❤
Right??
I also love Penny, she is very inspiring. I love the focus on women of a certain age (me) and the encouragement to lift weights. I really appreciate how you explained what you would have done differently...but I do love Penny and her two little fur babies that pop in from time to time.
they're so cute!
The amount of diversity in this challenge so far is crazy. You're getting your steps in, weights, pilates,etc. 😂
I know right??
I LOVE AND8FITNESS! I’m so happy you’re reviewing them!! 🤗
let me tell you TOMORROW IS A BLAST
I love that I’m learning about new fitness people! I can see why you gave the rating you did today. These types of workouts can feel like not enough of either weights or cardio so you aren’t progressing a goal by much, but of course if it’s gets you moving it’s working
100%!
Another great review!!! Thank you for pointing out how important strength training is for Women over 40, I'm 41 and am so glad to have people like you explain the benefits in such an uncomplicated way.
I agree with posting calories burned, I can't help but obsess over it when it's there, I got rid of my fitness tracker because of my obsessive behaviour with it. I'm a Sydney Cummings Houdyshell follower and so glad she stopped posting calories. Looking forward to tomorrow, haven't heard of them! 😊
you're gonna have fun tomorrow!
Dude, Hell - Yeah!!
This was great; Thankya J.!!
You’re so welcome!
Thanks for another great video - I've really been enjoying Vlogmas so far! :)
Would you ever consider making a video about spinal loading / low back friendly exercises? It's come up a few times in Vlogmas so far and I'd love to learn more to prevent future injuries!
i would! in the meantime I have a video about barbells that touches on it :)
I'm also curious what the issue with spinal loading is. We load our spines in reality so I don't know why functional training wouldn't include it.
I am over 40 and agree with how important strength training is for women, especially as we age. I not only do it for me, but for my family. I don't want my son to have to take care of me when I am older. I want to independent. I want to be strong. I feel stronger and I am fitter than ever and I love it
yes!! I love your WHY!
Over 40 here as well, and couldn't agree more!
I wish my mum would listen to this advise! Boomer generation experienced such one dimensional health and fitness education, like the low fat high carb and high cardio etc etc and hearing that we have discovered new things and research shows that resistance is sooooo important is so hard for them to take on board😔 I really hope this way of training becomes the norm now and we can forget the 90’s & 00’s culture ❤
Shout out to that new cert on the wall (🎉), Zooey, and the Hamilton class, which was so much fun! Thank you for these videos. 😊
you were CRUSHING IT in class!
I dunno why but the squats in time with the music was just perfection to me! 😂
:)
And 8 Fitness!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tomorrows video is FUN!
I'm gonna be 30 in a month and when you talk about bone density my mind was like "I have to get heavier weights"
I totally get your frustration with the workout. I was doing a "glow up 2.0" from heather the other day and I ended up so angry at the short rest time. Also that one had very short active periods as well. Anyway, can't wait for tomorrow's vid!!!
happy almost 30th and thanks for watching!
Now before my daily workout I have to check your video to see if I want to do something different.
Haha I love that!
Really enjoy the informed opinion, programming is like a Scooby-Doo mystery to me, I'm like
"huh-ro?"...lol Love your emphasis on this being a ONE video review vs all or your old video.
Hahahahaha best comment
I usually love Penny's workouts, but I agree that this one was a miss. Hopefully you can revisit her in the future.
I sometimes peek at the description for the calories burned just to give me an idea of what to expect of the workout in terms of intensity, cardio, etc.
It seems like she lists the program underneath too so you could always peek at that!
Loving this series so far! I also think the calorie thing is just weird, bc I feel like it still reinforces the idea to some people that you're only working out to burn calories
YES! I think that's what irks me. Especially with the immediate disclaimer of "this is inaccurate and means nothing to you."
I’m 64, and have definitely noticed a loss of endurance in my 60’s. Yet I still want and need to strength train. Fortunately, my recent dexa scan showed normal bone density in my hips, and I have pretty good balance. I catch myself if I trip! I usually work out to Jessica Smith, she caters to the over 40 crowd, and I’ve been doing her workouts for ten years. However, she doesn’t have the longer rests either in strength workouts. If I subscribed to your website for strength training, it sounds like it would still be possible for me to do the strength workouts, perhaps modifying for amount of weight? Thanks for all the great info!
You’re so welcome!
Also, I have two questions. One, do you know any follow along or guided strength workouts for the gym using machines? I always feel lost when I'm at the gym and there's so many machines to use.
Secondly, what is the youngest age a child can engage in strength training?I would love for you to do a video explaining strength/exercise for children.
I don’t know of any actually! And I’m not well versed in training kids, BUT I am a firm believer that our physical education in schools should at least teach us the basics (even if it’s bodyweight.) 99% of my clients come to me and can’t squat, hinge, press, or pull correctly. And I don’t blame them because we’re never taught!
I discovereed Penny's workouts last year and I've really been enjoying them but they do indeed seem utterly random sometimes, especially the "no repeat" ones.
I think I might just not be crazy about "no-repeat" workouts in general, though so that doesn't have anything to do with Penny.
She sometimes just piles squats on top of squats in the same tri-set and I feel like I can never go all out in the first exercise because I have to save something for the second one. Worse yet, if Exercise 3 is some sort of compound move involving a squat, you're going to have to go right back to more isolation squats for Exercise 1 when you start Round 2 of the tri-set. That's great if you're working for endurance instead of strength, but these are always billed as strength workouts.
I'll contine to do her workouts, though, because I want to support as many channels that emphasize strength training for women, especially women over 40, as possible.
Edit: I think some people are still putting that "calories burned" info in their descriptions because they know that a lot of the general public is still hung up on that aspect of exercise. I remember back when even Sydney Cummings was doing that, maybe less than 3 years ago. It seems so old-fashioned now.
All fair points!
love how you compare strength training to investing in retirement!!!
so glad that resonates with you!
I wish I had watched this video before I did the workout - I only burned 252 calories! WTF? Where are my 4 other promised calories ?🤷♀️ Seriously, though - great message in this video. Strength training IS your body’s pension. We put a lot of consideration into fall prevention (which is great) but not so much into fall survival. It’s simplistic but strong people bounce, weak people break (please do not test this anyone 🙏). Also, I love the idea that while almost all exercise is a good idea, some exercise programs make a lot more sense than others. Great work Justina 👏
Thanks Frank!
I’m still hoping for a Sydney workout. 🤞
She’s in the bowl like 25 times so odds are, she’ll come up :)
I tend to see movements like that Bicep Curl Squat in a lot of HIIT-style group fitness classes and... they me so annoyed lol. It always feels like I'm getting diluted versions of both a bicep curl and a squat/squat hold. As a certified professional, do you think there's any benefit to something like that? Besides doing it for the sake of "variety," of course.
It totally depends on your goal! If you’re trying to build muscle, it’s not the best choice for programming. If you’re trying to get your heart rate up, it’s a fine option.
Please review grey and orange fitness and fitness kaykay
Unfortunately the deadline to submit was 11/26 on the original announcement video :(
Hi Justina - Based on the title of her video, what is the difference between strength training under / over 40? Types of exercise, amount of reps, etc.?
Ok so I don’t know much about training around menopause and peri menopause, so I can’t really speak TOO much specifically there. BUT taking hormonal changes out of the picture, I don’t think there’s much difference (dependent on the goals obviously). I would say 65+ is the different bracket IMO. And that’s where you want more balance and stability work involved.
@@JustinaErcole okay, thank you, thought it would be the same too. Went from couch potato to pole dancing lessons at 48, so rather late than never as you mentioned.💪🎉 Thanks for another great video - I don't want this series to end!!❤️
@@carlenearendse8163I didn’t notice a difference in endurance until my early 60’s.
@@sherryg1838 thanks Sherry. I will be interested to check my changes when I go through menopause and when I get to 60+.
Ahhh you’re reading the Britney book….how are you liking it? It really endeared me to her a lot
I'm loving it!! And Michelle Williams is doing an AMAZING job with the narration.
Nooo!!! I love Penny and sorry to hear this was such a disappointment 😞. However, I actually think this is a workout I would like on my cardio days then. Lately I feel like I need a challenge, not always, but, you know once in a while, instead of running for a long period of time, maybe I'll do this instead. Do you think this video could be used as a cardio workout? Anyway loving this series and don't know the And8 influencer so this will be good one to watch tomorrow. Thank you and have a wonderful day J🤗!
It totally could be! I still think the programming should be switched up though so you’re not fatiguing the same muscle groups back to back under weight :)
I do like Penny, but I take as much time as I need between reps and sets. No one needs to find me laid out on the floor trying to breathe! LOL!!!! But, I find a lot of creators aren't giving a lot of time for rest. We just have to listen to our individual bodies and go from there.
I love Penny, but I don't like that her videos have ads. I will say that at least her ads are placed better than some. I know I get premium, and the ads will go away. I am over 60, so I got a yoga app instead of Premium. It was a better investment for me. A ton of chair yoga classes
Actually we can’t always control where the ads are placed! CZcams has the final say.
@JustinaErcole yeah You Tube has gotten worse. I think it has to do with monetization and number of subscribers and watch time time. For instance Sydney Cummings and Caroline Girvan only have ads before the workout begins.
@@paulagabay9915 Keep in mind that the 5-15s ad you watch is the only way these creators make money from the free content they put out.
@JustinaErcole wow, I get it. I just wish they would interrupt when in the middle of an exercise.
Totally fair! A lot of people just don't realize that without adsense, we don't get paid :)@@paulagabay9915
Oh no, I'm sorry, you look like really disappointed! I feel bad! :-/ Didn't know this creator until now, but I had high hopes at the beginning when I heard you describe her mission! I'm sure she has better workouts because she seems genuinely a good trainer, though! Justina, how does a person know if their sense of balance is good enough to, you know, navigate in the modern world? I'm pretty sure mine is okay in a fitness setting because I can do single leg deadlifts and other unilateral movements fairly well, but then I trip ALL THE TIME when I'm just walking around! Is clumsiness a sign of not so great balance?
Can't wait to see you dance tomorrow!
Haha clumsiness is kind of relative to each person. I'm very coordinated but also clumsy, so I wouldn't overthink it :)
@@JustinaErcoleGreat to know, I'll just embrace my natural clumsiness then! Thank you so much for the kind reply and for everything else!
Oh bummer! Hate a disappointment!
me too :( but it's only one workout!
I have tried penny multiple times and just don’t connect with her workouts. I find the programming confusing and frankly exhausting. She seems like a lovely person but just not for me
I really remember liking whatever workout I tried before!
Why are u so triggered if there is a number ? Some women may just like the number. Personally i love it as it helps me track my progress I feel.
Not triggered at all! I just don't understand why it's listed if it has nothing to do with the workout. I also never recommend people gauge their progress based off of how many calories a very inaccurate watch tells them they burned during a workout. I talk about this more on day 5 :)
@@JustinaErcole I get what you are trying to convey! Thing is most of us are untrained in fitness as a sceince and this is one of the low hanging fruits to take :) Congratulations on your channel growth ( slow but certain) I had gone out of youtube for a long tiimie but i am now back and seeing all ur vlogs for christmas. Merry Christmas :) Will now see from 1 onwards to get a sense of progression.
