[@tunamayo6209]

This one was actually the most beginner friendly workout I’ve ever seen damn I can’t believe I managed to do everything without taking a single break or feeling exhausted to the point to just faint hahahah

[@myrgo1648]

Omg, I was going to write the same thing! She’s like a wizard! She knows exactly how to time and pace everything! Loved it so much! First video but not my last!

[@retahossack1989]

I am 55, and started few months ago doing these standing workouts and l love them and l am getting stronger ❤

[@rostunes]

very nice!!

[@lilahase7985]

I am 57 and started two weeks ago. I love the workouts 👌. I feel very good

[@meghasahu0402]

Wow u guys are really my future goal all the best ❤❤❤

[@cindyb.9998]

I’m 59. Same!!! ❤❤💪🏼

[@soofanucchi1790]

I feel the same way. I feel stronger. I do different routine every time I do. Trying to do 5 times a week. ❤

[@bonesonstones1]

I just love your style. I love that you're not talking about weight loss or toning or appearance, but which muscle you're targeting. Your instructions are clear and concise. I'm a fat person just looking to get stronger and move my body in a fun way, and your videos have kept me at it for almost 6 months now. Thank you so much!

[@val.k]

I am 17, 150 pounds, 5'10, and i began this workout about a week ago. This is what I saw. (I am not athletic at all, my waist is a little wide (covid) and I don't do weights usually) I did multiple workouts including this, chloe ting and Lily Sabri which took 45 minutes a day and did some intermittent fasting. Week 1- Lost 3.3 pounds, my waist size hasn't reduced much, but I can see the difference. I am able to go up the stairs much easier, and I feel more motivated and happy. I'll update yall on week 2. Well, it was a bust, I continued for 2 more weeks until life hit me (I had exams), but the good news is that I lost 4.4 pounds in the span of those two weeks. Mostly because of the intermittent fasting and the continuos working out. But i started this weight loss journey again. Week 1: Lost a pound off. My arms feel great. I am able to lift heavier weights. I can climb stairs without exasperating myself completely. Will update for week 2 in 4 days. *(If you want a full idea of what I do to lose weight, all the workouts + the fast, lmk. I will write all of it down as well)* :) Please remember that these workouts should be done for a better future and a better livelihoo, not for achieving an ideal beauty standard. Please like or comment if you can with some words of kindness or some advice. It keeps me motivated :)

[@CrystalDSmith]

How is the progress going? I would love to receive an update.

[@Del_ita259]

Hey! How's it going?

[@val.k]

Hello, I did the workout for about 2 more weeks after the last update and lost 2 kgs (4.4 pounds) (did a ton of intermittent fasting, 17/7 in case anyone is wondering). I had a really important exam after that and couldn't continue, unfortunately. But I started again like a week ago, and I'm having great results

[@angiemartin2357]

I’m 51, overweight and arthritis in both hips and knees, and was able to do this standing workout, love weights, just need someone like you to give us a routine. Thank you!

[@Tarotjackpot]

Look at intermittent fasting. Worked a treat for me being over 50. Watch what goes in your mouth. I got rid of all gluten

[@cindykerr3911]

And i was able to do it with a bruised rib lol

[@itclincoln8925]

I'm so glad I found this one! It is perfect for me. I've been doing it every other day for a few weeks now, I can feel my side body getting tighter, I'm 61 years old so I use 5 lb. weights, but still benefitting from it.

[@veronicasobotka1888]

I always enjoy these 20 minute work outs. Its enough to get the heart rate going but yet saves me when I am running short on time and can't do something longer. Not to mention if you have a hard time focusing, 20 minutes is perfect.

[@stacyvickers9556]

I love how you focus on slow and steady movements. Thanks for the great workouts!

[@raelinesanborn1983]

I started riding my bike 5 miles every day and walking a few times a week. I started this workout 2 days ago, and I’m SORE BEYOND BELIEF! I will start this workout again tomorrow! It works!!! In a few weeks I’ve gone from 227 to 205. I’m hoping this will tone me through my weight loss journey. ❤ thank you!!!

[@emalinebachenheim]

After delivering a healthy 10lb baby, I developed a diastasis recti with a 4-finger gap. I started workouts with another channel at 6 weeks pp. After a month and a half, my gap is down to 2.5 fingers, and I've lost 7 lbs. I figured I was finally ready for a challenge. So, today was my first day doing one of your workouts, and I gotta say, I feel amazing! Truly, I feel like a beast! Lol I've done many workouts over the years and this was my favorite so far. I'm subscribing and making your videos part of my weekly schedule. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and helping countless individuals reach their potential. God bless you ❤

[@ellb8795]

Former runner here. Having my second total knee replacement in 3 weeks. I SO APPRECIATE that you offer totally standing workouts!

[@kikibrophy6461]

Have been doing your shorter standing arms workouts, and really enjoyed this one that included abs. I am a senior who is restricted to standing workouts with lighter dumbbells. So this was perfect for me. Thank you!

[@ps-ms6wv]

has anyone noticed weight loss/toning results from being consistent with mik's workouts? am loving her videos

[@simplylife7401]

I been working out for 3 months with this video. Thank you. I have a lot of improvements with my health. Felt stronger than before and lose weight.

[@neicyrucker2311]

I'm 47, and I'm 10 lbs over weight and this is an amazing workout for me. Not too strenuous, working on abs (my main focus) and my arms! Thank you so much for this, very much appreciated.

[@spikeisaak]

Thank you, Mik. Loved this workout. I do my best and use lighter weights as usual. I, too, appreciate your tone when instructing us. It's perfect.

[@dianaknight600]

Hiya I yave just found your cha Nelson and am enjoying your workouts ...I am 63 yrs old with a little bit of weight to loose as well as wanting to keep fit and tone up ...I gave been doing some form of exercise every day ..(there is so much on U Tube amazing)..moderately and do use lighter weights .when working with them ...Thankyou ❤👍

[@migdaliapoou7469]

I'm loving these standing workouts! Been consistently doing your workouts for about 2 weeks now and love how you make them so doable actually started out with 5lb weights and am now completing the workouts with 8lb weights.

[@mariclaretpatton9412]

LOVE the no repeat and ALL standing. Getting at those muscle groups from another direction. Would love more of these!

[@TheRoisinDubh1]

Such a great workout for the core abs and arms!! Going to have this one on repeat. So good!

[@rhondaellis2989]

I am 71 years young. I do hard core workouts regularly however I just had my second bout with Covid. It takes time to build up to where I was. This workout was perfect for gaining back strength while still working out. I am looking forward to checking out more of your workouts and will probably keep them as part of my regular routine increasing weight as I go. Really like it and the slow and steady is the optimum ways to go.

[@LandaCrystal]

I love how she makes her standing arms workouts with dumbbells so much fun, achievable, doable and challenging at the same time. Loving these workouts.🏩

[@heidihouseholder727]

Love the slow, controlled toning workouts!! Thank you!!!

[@justineroberts2645]

Love all your workouts! Can't believe how quickly this one went 👏💪

[@susanblakely4462]

You are amazing! I’m a 67 year old female and a regular gym attender for most of my adult life. I started your routines while I was quarantined with Covid and love them. A month post-Covid and I’m still exercising to you. Thank you!

[@danielacasacci8439]

When she said "last movement" I couldn't believe it was already over. Never happened before! Really enjoyed it.

[@rostunes]

same omg I was like is this 20 mins already 🤨

[@angelaswartz-petersen8233]

I love the pace and the focus on clean movements. I feel my muscles learning.

[@christianpitman5185]

Just found your channel and love it! I hate getting on the floor to exercise, so these routines are perfect.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Yeah me too I can't stand doing floor workouts

[@jillianauffinger3820]

I'm 43, dealing with a long recovery from COVID (cardiac issues), and am 5 years post-hysterectomy. I've also got a lot of neck and back issues. Pre-COVID, I was strength training hardcore for 3 hours/week, and I'm realizing I may have been overdoing it and working against myself. Your workouts (specifically standing - so much easier on the neck and back!), including the slower, more focused pace, have literally brought me back from my lowest physical point, ever. You make fitness accessible again. Thank you SO much - I'd love more standing workouts! So grateful to have found your channel!

[@shelleyshumas]

Thank you Mik for your mindful movement, breathing cues, your slow and relaxed yet effective exercise videos - it is really helping me a lot as I have back injuries so I need to take it slowly and breath properly but I also want to keep fit.

[@indrilaghosh921]

I love the dumbell workout in this channel …appreciate your efforts ❤️

[@chiquitanolita]

This one really got the sweat going! I've been doing the light barre arms for months and thought there was no way I could lift 8 pounds but I got through this entire routine with them! Yay! On the downside, not as much ab work as I would have liked. I'm definitely coming back to this one for arm work.

[@tinabonny5192]

Loved that. Have been trying to find workouts my mum (who is a 'senior') could try and think this will work if she uses very light weights, or no weights at all. She doesn't like coaches who are too shouty, so this is perfect! Awesome.

[@strayfromtheheart9083]

Yes that's the just one of the things that has drawn me to Mikeala, is her soft, gentle yet encouraging voice.

[@Lexwordle8]

Just started your workouts and love them!! I can feel the burn, but don’t feel overwhelmed! You are graceful and poised with each exercise. It helps me stay focused! Thank you!!!

[@christinas6528]

Thank you so much! I am so proud I was able to complete this routine without stopping or modifying any moves! 🎉

[@shaynacarlson5130]

Do a ton of your workouts and LOVED this one! Thanks for all the variety!!

[@mariewalton555]

Finally a great one for someone who’s starting out with weights thank you x

[@alisonlevandowski9560]

I love the verbal cues of how you should align your body and breathing during the workout. Keep it up!

[@deborahsilk]

Thanks for the standing strength workouts! Us seniors really appreciate them.

[@user-bp2gg4rh7p]

Love this it was great. I love the breaks in between, you explain and demonstrate well!

[@susanbutler6884]

I really enjoy weights to music rather than counting my reps! Thank your for these great workouts!

[@shellystephens4789]

Enjoy the standing workouts so much! They’re perfect! Thanks!

[@kileydistelrath6727]

so good!one of the few standing ab routines I've actually felt. Thank you!

[@jillharrison5391]

Great workout! Just recently found your channel so glad I did. You have so many different workouts and I love that you are encouraging but not loud!

[@hemalinishah9648]

Tysm this really helped me because I am a beginner and I got confused on the around the world

[@michellelee6725]

I love these standing abs and arms workouts. I suffer with arthritis in the neck and there is no neck strain during these standing workouts. And they really work.

[@PK-om4zq]

i have tried so many dumbbells workouts but this one is the best that i have come across so far. I usually tend to get bored, but this one i really enjoyed and felt that it kept me really engaged not only physically but also in my headspace. loved it! :)

[@colleenpack6988]

Thank you. Finally found someone who explains the moves and how to do them. You are so easy to follow. Really enjoyed your workout and now a subscriber.

[@gwendolynhughes9681]

Hello! So glad I found you. I love your workout routines. I'm 61 and started your arm workouts about 3 weeks ago. I moved from 2lb to 5lb, and now I'm doing 8lb weights with you! Today's challenge doing abs and arms was great! The results are fantastic. Keep it coming!

[@downtonabbey1786]

Another great workout Mik! Loved it - no-repeat, all standing Abs & Arms - Effective!

[@lenaoestereich8091]

I love these shorter Workouts... Perfect to combine with a longer workout... Thank you so much. 💪❤️

[@nadinesalmers9301]

My favourite workout so far!

[@kirakrejci2628]

[@AABBCC890]

I'm targeting abs and arms, and this 2 in 1 is perfect, thank you 😊

[@lindaclark6558]

Thank you! Recovering from knee surgery and this focus is perfect

[@christophwaupotitsch3007]

This is the best dumbbell training so far! Thank you

[@claudia_adam]

[@PhyllisNagle52]

Hi, I'm 70 really enjoyed your workout. The pace was awesome. So different from others I have done. Grateful & sold on your work 💖🌻

[@angelala62]

Love your workouts. They are the only strength workouts I do.

[@stacyussery91]

Loved this one! Would love to see more like it! Love the green 💚 🥰

[@jmbaus]

I've been sick since my last work out with you. I'm feeling better today. Just completed my 2nd workout with you. Feels great to get moving again.

[@sarahgallett9934]

Omg I'm loving your work outs so glad I found you on here ❤

[@lindachadwick4115]

I love your 10, 15, an!d 20 min workouts!!

[@irishmejia8949]

Wow I can’t believe I really enjoyed this work out! Thanks! 😊

[@user-ge7tq7jk9m]

I made myself a New Year challenge that I would do a 15 or 20 minute work out every day and these are perfect ! Loving doing them, thank you !

[@CatherineLouise_]

really felt the burn with this one! great job everyone!!

[@melissasteele7294]

I always enjoy these quicker upper body workouts!

[@biancabrazier9985]

This was a great workout. Slow and steady. So glad I found you!

[@nansis9660]

Loved it! Was totally uncoordinated and surprised how bad my balance is….. but it was first day. I’m 62 and post menopause big mid section!! (mostly) . See you tomorrow

[@theyounghomesteader8786]

I liked how you combined arms and abs into one routine.

[@christinac4633]

Great work out! The 15 second break is helpful for muscle recovery and learning the next move! The combo moves are great for working different muscle groups and avoiding over-exhaustion for any particular muscle group - more fun too! Love that there are no repeats and the low-impact nature of this routine. Thank you!

[@misha3509]

I just love everything about this video it’s simple and sweet to the point! My toddler just got out my mat and went to grab my weights when I was not feeling it today but this made me want to get up and get to it! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@josie232]

Love these workouts. Just what my arms and abs need. Thank you!

[@maveille]

This is definitely a new favourite! I LOVE your workouts!

[@donnatyler3251]

It was one of the best I love your 20 minute workouts, especially for arms and abs

[@Choo_boots]

Love this! Would be great to see more standing abs/arms 20-30mins workouts, thats the only one i can find...

[@user-yr4es5pj1t]

Thanks Love all the standing workouts!

[@lesliesmith175]

Thank you for all of your workout videos. They are fun and challenging enough to get me motivated to get in better condition.

[@lainiestewart622]

Great workout even for a 65 year old. Was not so difficult that I felt I could not complete, but felt the challenge as well. I did not have 8 lb weights so had to go down a weight, but still worked. I did get out by 8 lb kettlebell and cal tell that the entire routine with the heavier weight would really feel it, at each will have to switch out a couple of times. Thanks for not jumping around in a manic fashion, with burpees, planks, push ups and crazy aerobics that my knees and wrists can’t handle. This will be in my weekly rotation and am looking at other videos to add as well. Happy New 2023!

[@karendonovan4539]

thank you really enjoyed and sure found it a challenging workout, love that it's 20 mins and no repeats

[@kathyhollist7731]

Love, love, love! Thanks! Like that workout is all standing. Your instruction is clear, easy to follow and I like the variety you provide in your workouts!

[@bockkm]

That was a great work out! I am sore from yesterday's full body workout of yours. But it feels great! Gotta feel the burn!!

[@Mellon2509]

Been looking for a decent enjoyable workout for a while to get back into my fitness. Came across this one today and thoroughly enjoyed. Subscribed and looking forward to tomorrow's now! Thank you 😊

[@myaneemy]

I really loved the fact that this is a quick workout! So easy to do during a weekend like this and to finish off the week. ❤

[@user-bn2od2ij5v]

I’ve been subscribing to your channel for the last two weeks and I love your exercises. Thank you and keep the videos coming.

[@pauliemoisuk5945]

Love this! Please keep making more like this❤️

[@ambersermeno5371]

Love your videos! As a busy mom of littles getting back into fitness, I get an effective workout in just 20-30 min. Love the standing videos as I’m working out in a cold garage! Like the use of just the dumbbells for equipment! Thank you!

[@jeansmiley6912]

Love 20-30 minutes of no repeat! Good body cues!

[@mindycochran5340]

Great content! I'm a 51 yr old gal that works out regularly, I typically use 15lb weights, for this workout I used 10lbs, boy am I glad I did!! I love the different workouts you provide; different muscle groups being worked in different patterns. Thank you! 🤩💪

[@Treelord_vr]

This is just what I was looking for and needed. Thank you!

[@josie232]

Another good work out this morning. Thank you for the standing arm/shoulder workout. Much appreciated. 😊

[@jennifercastella]

This is one of my favorite workouts!

[@hummingbird_and_or]

I love your workouts! This left me feeling strong but not depleted. Thank you!

[@CarlaMaria-ce3gr]

Love your workouts. Feasible and not those crazy routines out there that you fell defeated after 5 min. Keep up the great work ❤

[@Diana-sb4yl]

Clear instructions, simplicity at its best, music cool, thank you as a senior I use a 3 lbs dumbells, eventually aiming to get lift 8lbs, someday 😎💯

[@mary-annfondaumiere9013]

I really enjoy your workout. Love working with weights. Thank you.
