[@michellep2278]

While my husand walks on the treadmill, he's watching workout with Amy. He said, "No wonder you like her so much, she's a REAL person! EXACTLY!! 🥰

[@lorihayes6746]

I have been working out with you for years so I was a little worried when I saw that this said "beginners" BUT I was able to go heavy and kept my heart rate up the entire time. I couldn't believe when I looked up at the time, there was only less than 3 minutes left to the whole workout!! Thank you, Amy!! Awesome workout!!

[@Nadsbarts]

This is why I don't start as it said beginners

[@treeposego]

This workout was perfect for me. I am recovering from breast cancer surgery in September. It's been tough holding back because I feel really good but my doctors and rehab people have given me modifications. I was able to go up in weights on some and stay with you on others. Just perfect.

[@SheilaCraig-o8x]

I have been doing your classes for a good number of years and I was a bit concerned that this might be too easy when I saw it was for beginners but it was excellent. It was great to get back to basics as a reminder about 'technique' and check I was doing it correctly and that I hadn't developed 'bad' movements, which is possible when we have been doing something for quite a while. I adjusted my weights, to slightly heavier dumbbells, and I had a really good workout. Thank you

[@foreverdietcoke]

Bodyfitter of 9 years here. ... can confirm that this is still SUPER challenging if you go heavy (for me, 15s and 20s). I also love these standing strength videos for when I'm returning to workouts after an illness or vacation. Thank you Amy and Happy New Year!

[@jenniferkazmar5596]

Yes! That’s what I did too and challenging

[@amandatiffany2583]

So tonight, I committed to working out for the first time in almost 2 years. I have 3 sons aged 7, 2, and 14 months. I have not prioritized myself and couldn't find the time between work, school, sports, and bedtime to focus on me. Tonight Amy, I did this workout in my kitchen, body weight only while packing my kids lunch, and I have to say it was perfect! Thank you for this. I can't wait to come back tomorrow.

[@carawohlgenannt6559]

This was a perfect workout for getting back into it after 2 weeks of holiday vacation! ;) Thank you so much!

[@BodyFitByAmy]

This full-body workout goes back to basics, with your primary exercises all performed from a standing position. Using dumbbells, it has three circuits of lower body, upper body, and core exercises in two rounds. This workout is excellent for beginners and can be tailored to go heavier or lighter, depending on your fitness level.

[@joannek699]

I don't have dumbbells and I'm on a tight budget - anything in the home that might work instead?

[@allisoncoffin6735]

Great back to basics workout for a cold winter morning.

[@kenzijudge9050]

Yes! Thanks as always Amy!!

[@teresamurphy]

love your workouts - even back to basics. i always get a great workout! thanks amy!

[@jenniferglowacki6651]

Perfect workout to come back after two weeks sick. Love the modifications and the pacing. It was actually nice ton have repeats and know what to expect. Thanks Amy!!

[@janicepatterson6212]

You were right when you answered my question about making this workout for more advanced. It was perfect. I used heavy weights and loved it. Thanks for always giving me exactly what I need.

[@louloureads3953]

I was nervous about working out again after several weeks of having got out of the habit - a workout like this was ideal to get over the hump! Promised myself I would switch to my light weights instead of giving up, but actually I went heavy the whole way through (except the bicep curls). Stronger than I think, indeed! Thanks Amy for getting me back in the saddle 🏋️‍♀️

[@tat56448]

I love this back to basics workout! I challenged myself with the heaviest possible weights. The workout went by very fast. Thank you so much ❤ I would love to see more workouts in this format.

[@angelaconstable1166]

Ahhh getting back into it after the Holidays and taking a few weeks off! Thank you Amy ❤

[@ds9399]

Awesome 🤩 going heavy makes this great back to basics workout super effective, love it 😍👏

[@elycesherman248]

I loved your walking workout. It is so cold that I haven’t been able to get outside and going to the gym and going on the treadmill to me is boring. You made this fun and I look forward to working out with you more thank you. have a great day.😊

[@alessandrabotta8325]

Great workout thank you Amy! Happy New Healthy and Strenghty year to all! Much love from Switzerland 💖

[@traceywestfield]

Thank you for Strength Your Way and for this great workout to kick off the month!!! I'm a big believer that it's important to view things through "beginner's eyes" to ensure I'm being mindful about how I go about my day and move through the world. Even though I've been religiously doing the BodyFit by Amy videos for years now, I always appreciate when you challenge us to really notice how we're performing each move.

[@amandaswinney6600]

I have many old favorite workouts of yours that I repeat often, so I haven't tried a new one in some time. But being newly retired, I thought 'why not?' Plus, I really like the "Begin-Againers" which made me laugh. Good workout! I started with weights a little lighter, since it was a new routine, but often increased as I continued. This will become one I return to. Thank you, Amy, and a Happy New Year to you and your family! 💖

[@user-pi1dv3ee1p]

Love me some back to basics!

[@amberschleigh1620]

This was the perfect way to start out the new year! 🎉

[@emmacorbett6651]

Come for the workout, stay for the pep talk. Thanks Amy!

[@JennyWeij]

Today is the day after this workout and oh MY how sore my muscles are😮 I was not expecting that! Never underestimate a back to basic workout. 🥵💪🏼

[@That_Girl_From_Ohio]

Loved getting back to basics with this workout. I've spent the last 6 months doing orange theory and this felt so much more intentional, thorough, less rushed, etc.

[@KafayatGaniyu-Hamzat]

Thanks Amy. This workout is great.

[@Angelina-R]

This was great! Love back to basics to get used to lift with my heavier weights 🎉

[@ryanconnor485]

Great start to the day Amy. Loved this format 👏 😊

Nice focus on strength! The focus on the core is getting easier 1.5 mo no sugar. Ran 2 miles yesterday

[@SuePenn]

Love back to basics, can lift heavy. More of these please❤

Loved this workout! I like the simplicity of the movements, so I could challenge myself. Thanks, Amy!

[@hannahsmith7264]

This is everything I’ve ever wanted!! Due to my living situation it’s so much better for me doing standing workouts so thank you!! ❤

[@jillrfisch]

I agree going heavy made this super challenging! Also the repeated circuits really challenged my muscles! Thank you!

[@cathyinmt]

Loved this workout!

[@libbymccartney2525]

This was a great workout to start my year off! I plan to follow your new year back to human challenge along with using the WW app to try to lose a moderate amount of post baby weight and get strength and tone back. Thank you for your great, balanced, encouraging style.

[@stephaniereed3295]

Great way to ease back into working out after being outta commission for over a month, thanks Amy!!

[@JoniHollman]

This was a great workout to go to after not lifting for a few days . Thank you Amy! I didn’t even mind the bonus move 🤣

[@shanoagunter8611]

First workout of 2025 in the books and you did not disappoint- Thank you for always motivating me in a gentle way. I have had PTs that were not so gentle and all it did was make the work out feel like a chore. Offering different movements is very helpful- THANK YOU! CHEERS!!!

[@hannahs1112]

Awesome workout! I’ve been working with you for a few years but I needed a review of the basics 👍👍

[@emmasabaker]

Great workout.

[@lorigruber47]

Loved this format Amy! I worked up a good sweat and HR and got to lift heavy. Thank-u for another CHALLENGING workout.😊

[@hanni.m]

❤ it! Very effective! My h.r was high all the time👌

[@jennaaldrich1009]

Amy, I'm back! It's been a few years. My knee blew out and I have 0 joint left. But, I just got weightloss surgery a couple weeks ago and I can feel my body becoming saggy as the weight is coming off. I can't do a lot because of my knee. But I gotta get in shape so I can get it replaced once all this weight comes off!

[@dineshamaistry5394]

Great start to my 2025 workout! Thank you Amy!
