First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzbin.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

This was my first video I watched with Amy in 2016 when I was in The Ronald McDonald House with my son who was battling cancer. I've been hooked ever since and love Amy's platform, ideology and most of all she helped me so much during the hardest times of my life. it's 30 minutes when I'm not thinking about my son's cancer and I feel so much better after and energized to be able to help him with all the care he needed. Thanks.

[@rugmaramesh3900]

This workout really works and it's very easy. Tried this on alternate days for 3 weeks and I'm already seeing results. This is good to reduce back fat and side flabs! Boosts digestion as well 😀 Thank you Amy!

Hi Lolo! I am a man, I saw this video because my grandma does this lesson regularly since I don't know how long! I tried this lesson with her but it is just too hard! My grandma does the full lesson.

This is amazing...and no stress on neck or back...also appreciate how you did a warm up and cool down which many others don't include. Thank you so much..I loved it

[@christinap2078]

I enjoyed this one. I have back problems because of a heavy chest and I'm skinny but i gain weight on my stomach area only. When I do floor ab workouts I always give up because of the pressure on my back but this was really easy. I still felt the burn and feel like it will help strengthen my back too. I'm actually going to do another round of this right now.

[@WolfSpiritQueen]

I'm on a weight loss journey because I'm tired of being out of shape. I've lost 10 lbs so far. This is an awesome work and I would continue to do this along with my other workouts. Thank you very much!!

After I started feeling well and still continued to test positive I started to look for workout I could in my room to help keep myself busy from depression. I was self isolated 1 month and 2 weeks. In my room, just want to let you know that I love your work out and it made me sweat hard cord and thank you for helping me get through that though time in life. I will continue to work out, since I will return back to work Tuesday there is times I can't go walk the park do to my schedule, me getting out at dark. I am happy to know I can continue to do this is my room. Ps: I've sent your link to a lot of my friends. Thank You, Cindy💓

I already do stairs everyday(45 floors a day) so this is just helping my core and get back my core. Thank you for this video!!!
