40 Minute Upper Body Combos Workout | FOCUS - Day 2

[@jessicamcintosh9008]

I have to brag for one moment! I have been working so hard on push-ups. I did all three rounds FROM MY TOES!!!!! I am so proud of myself! 💪

[@iramavi1]

I love you , I love this community! and I will chase my dream and my happiness of becoming a Veterinary Technician !!!! Thank you for being everyone's support and backbone!!!

[@MelissaCapriotti]

There is no way you can even think about being bored with these combos! 💪🏻 tired and fatigued yes, bored no way!

[@jsutera654]

couldn't agree more!! flew by and I am TOAST, couldn't lift another weight if I wanted to!

[@maleciawalker3073]

It was so good! My arms were done.

[@maleciawalker3073]

It was so good! My arms were done.

[@melissahaslett]

That's why we keep doing them everyday they are always different

[@jjbutterbeans1515]

I have the best arms of my life now. Better than I ever thought because of these workouts and being encouraged to lift heavier by my trainer! Sydney!!

[@silviaherasmiralles7726]

Me too 😀

[@karnesjeremy113]

My wife complimented me about mine the other day, thank you Sydney.

[@skrose89]

Ditto! Thank you Sydney!!!

[@ddot9566]

This was a really hard weekend for me. I was up till 1AM running programs for school. I woke up exhausted today. I wasn't sure I had it in me to workout. I put on my workout clothes and told myself to at least start it. Halfway through, I fully woke up and was able to push even harder until the end. I feel great now. Thank you to Sydney for her encouragement and for being there every morning with a smile on her face. I''m sure there are days she's tired and unmotivated, but you would never know that. I'm so impressed by her commitment to our health. It inspires me to give it my all too.

[@julianadolski1742]

Such a powerful workout and post-workout speech 👏🏼!! Thank you for helping us feel strong, capable, and understood, Sydney. We love you ❤️!!

[@jsutera654]

Wow this was one of my favorite upper body workouts from Sydney yet. I LOVED the combo sets, they were super challenging and helped me to really push for that burn-out. I literally couldn't lift another thing, not even my water bottle, if I wanted to! GREAT workout and way to start Friday. Let's crush this day ladies!!

[@sgjohnson2390]

I loved this! So proud of myself--I challenged myself with heavier weights and made it through the entire inchworm pushup circuit without dropping to my knees. YES!!! Happy Friday everyone!

[@danielamerten695]

You inspired me to try the inchworm pushups without dropping to my knees too. In the beginning I didn't think I could make it. But I pushed through and now I feel strong and proud! Thank you so much for the inspiration! And thanks to you Sydney for building up this amazing community. ❤

[@patriciagioia5689]

Focusing on happiness within is something I am definitely working on. I am a bit older and have come to realize I don’t have an activity other than working out that just makes me smile so so much. I would love to find one but I am a single mother to a 16 year old and I myself am back in school. I look forward to the days school is over. I will though find an activity that just makes me smile (other than working out with Sydney) another great workout my . Happy Friday everyone

[@tinakaralash3870]

Great format today. My friends and family are impressed with how much I’m dedicated to this workout… I told them “once you try Sydney’s programs you’ll be hooked” I’m so happy I found you Sydney… love you to pieces❤️😘🤟🏻

[@MaineMama]

Wow, I have never felt so fulfilled after an upper body like I am feeling in this moment! I am so incredibly thankful for this community and Royal Change!

[@coralinespooky6050]

Happy Friday everyone. My upper body has become really wonderful, I feel really good thanks to you Sydney👍🏻

[@jmpe.5289]

Faith is what fuels me, and it's what others don't understand about me. Someone called it my "hobby" and that hurt because he just didn't understand. It's integral to me, and I will even more "lean in!!!" to that, as Sydney said. I *have* been focusing on others' understanding this about me but Sydney's right--- it's not for them to have to understand me. Thank you for the words, Sydney. I needed those today.

[@carriesandoval649]

That speech at the end!! 🙌🙌 It has taken me a long time to feel good in my own skin and I think it is still a learning process, but moving away from the negative things and filling my life with more positive things (and a HUGE part of that is these workouts) is what has helped change my mindset. Thank you Sydney, Dustin and SQUAD for keeping us all going each day!

[@_kellford]

I am definitely needing these motivating pep talks! As a new-ish mom that is trying to find herself again after becoming a mom and dealing with some postpartum depression these workouts and pep talks from Sydney and are apart of my journey and I'm so thankful I have found them! It is good to be told that I'm worth it and and deserve to feel good in my body and by healthy when I battled all the mom guilt stepping away to go to the gym. It reminds me that I am becoming a better me to be a good example for my daughter. Thank you so much Sydney for fun and challenging workouts and the best motivation I have come across!

[@staciemunson4318]

Happy Feel Good Friday💪😃💪 There are no words for that workout other than fan-freaking-tastic! This workout gave me all the feels from my heart overflowing with love to me knowing I can push thru all the hard things. The variety of combo moves were challenging in the best way possible. Loved them all ❤ The energy that we brought today was like no other 🤪 I truly believe this Squad and you ladies were meant to come into my life for a reason. The bond that we have. The connection that we made. It just makes my heart want to burst. It feels amazing to have found my people who share the same passion for health and fitness as me. I'm heading into this Friday with an even greater appreciation for this community and the friendships that have sprouted along the way ❤ Sending you all the love 😘

[@simplebyemmy]

Sydney's Daily Wisdom (42:59): "It's all perspective. If it's worth the risk to you, don't worry about the outcome. Worry about how hard you're working towards the next part of that risky adventure that you're on because it means a lot to you." (43:32): "Don't worry about being validated, worry about going into fulfillment. What fulfills you? Do more of that." Wow! I've always been risk-adverse because I've been concerned about the outcome. What if I fail? What if it's a waste of my time, money, energy? What will people think? But if it's worth the risk to me, who cares? I'm working toward getting a children's book published by taking the first step and hiring an editor. That's my risky adventure and I'm excited about it!

[@annadan5982]

I was feeling so tired and unmotivated, especially since upper body days are always mentally challenging. But as soon as I started warming up, I knew I could get through the workout. Having Sydney here with us is such a game changer. I can't even begin to stress how inspiring her positivity is. I never get this excited at the gym by myself!

[@leaway1389]

It’s just amazing how I feel with my strength in my upper body thank you

[@laisamagdaleno8841]

Its not our job to make the outside world understand us but it is our job to understand our inside world, what we really want and what we stand for! If we don't Stand for something, we will fall for anything.

[@amandadaniels2308]

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet to fulfill my happiness today, but I do know that this post-workout talk makes me want to do great things today.,,if I am able to feel my arms to do them. 🔥🔥

[@lisatowle6016]

Hahaha!!!!

[@Mrs3D2010]

This has got to be my favorite style of workout. Please keep doing combo moves like this. I’m so focused on doing the moves correctly that the time flies! Love it!!!

[@lornabee10]

The words at the end of the workout were well received. Don't worry about understood, perfect, or being right. If it's worth the risk in pursuit of your greatest and highest, do your best!! Loved this workout, it definitely forced me to be more aware of my mind and muscle connection! Thank you Syde

[@cheriedavila72]

What fulfills me is being the best mom I can be for my son because we only have each other. He makes me the happiest woman and he’s what motivates me to work hard and to achieve my goals in life. Working out with you this past year made me a stronger woman physically and mentally you have changed my life for the good. You inspire me and many other around tue world because of your positive energy. I’m a better mom,sister, cousin and daughter to my loved ones!. You showed me to love myself and to know I am worth it and I can and I will. I love you for that you’re my happiness on a rainy day. I wanna truly say thank you 😊 and I love you ❤️

[@belane2606]

Moxie!!! Love when Moxie makes a cameo and steals the show. Thank you Sydney for another great workout.

[@meganr716]

I'm so proud of myself and this team! So proud to be a part of Royal Change!!!!! THANKYOU SYDNEY

[@listingly6307]

Sydney I hav taken over 300 classes with you and I think this workout might be the best so far! Ho do you keep getting better!!! Thank you for all of this.

[@Cwerty08]

Wowwwww my arms!! I have never been so strong, I caught a look at myself in the mirror yesterday and was like omg look at that change! What fulfills me that I want to do more: more reading books and less reading social media. One opens my mind, teaches me new vocabulary and perspectives. The other not so much. Trying my best every day! Thank you Sydney

[@heathermayg]

I do not look forward to upper body days- but this was AWESOME 🖤🖤. Loved the speech as per usual too 😘

[@tracyt2226]

So much fun! That third circuit with the biceps was a burner for me. Thank you Sydney!

[@johnrhodes4238]

Wow!! Sydney! that workout was something. My hands kept cramping up. Arms are on fire!! Your words at the end rang true more than ever for me. Thank you, thank you!! ❤️

[@anainallcaps]

“Being understood is not what validates things, it’s how much it means to you.” That’s a word 🙌🏽 Loved this workout! Thank you!

[@gwynncombs5186]

Definitely feeling stronger in my arms I remember barely being able to curl 5 lbs and now I’m curling 15lbs!!! Such growth not only muscular but personal growth as well!!! Thank you again!!

[@kellyjean8]

LOVED this one!!! Thank you so much, Sydney!! You are the best trainer! I always try to verbally say “thank you, Sydney!!!” at the end of each workout. I’m so grateful for you!!💛

[@rimmysyed]

Just completed this and was so surprised by how much I was able to push myself, especially towards the flyes and rows at the end!!! We are all doing amazing! Let’s carry this energy throughout the rest of the year 💪🏽 Awesome program Sydney! You never disappoint!

[@ashley_rrivera]

“The whole journey of life is growing” Thank you for being part of my daily life, Sydney. ❤️I love the combos of this upper body workout! Felt so much stronger 💪

[@kristysandler9627]

Top 5 of my favorite workouts since I began this journey of April 2020!

[@francescacail2252]

Thank you for this push, the motivation and the inspiring speech at the end. It’s this positivity and this workout that keeps me strong mentally and physically! You are the best Sydney! We are all so grateful!

[@delianunez2587]

Mission complete, compound workouts are my favorite, you have 3 opportunities to get it right and increase weights. 💪 Feeling swole. Yassssss!

[@cathyrizzi1360]

Upper body let’s do this🙌 My favourite 💪🙋‍♀️

[@bevmansfield5515]

Loved this workout! Flew by! Thanks Sydney!

[@chariferrero4599]

Love this combo workout! Thank you Sydney!!

[@stephanieperrine9211]

“If it’s worth the risk don’t worry about the outcome” I loved this workout, my arms are definitely feeling it. I did most of my push-ups without dropping my knees! Big accomplishment for me, thanks to Sydney

[@pattybaynes7540]

I already did what fulfills me...these workouts. Loved the 45 seconds with 3 rounds. This format feels really good to work the muscles. Very rewarding!

[@illuminate.your.wealth]

Awesome workout today Sydney! She’s always so creative with how she designs her workouts. Today was all compound moves! Loved it! Felt challenged and crushed it 💪🏼

[@antytaa]

WOW this was a fun upper body workout it literally flew by. Thank you Sydney !!!

[@abbyjaeger]

Ok, my forearms wanted to die this whole workout! Such a challenge but I loved the combo moves the whole way through. I am normally not an arm day fan, but this was I liked a lot! I think doing the combination moves made it better for me mentally versus doing a strict strength set.

[@malejandragil]

this is by far the BEST workout I have ever done. Thank you Sydney! that pep talk at the end was just what I needed

[@orsi.lasanszki2304]

Thank you S.! Today's motivational speech hit really hard because this holiday season I am so focused on pleasing everyone...but you are soo right...I have to focus instead on doing things that are good for me, so that I can give a more happy energy back into the world! 😊💛

[@angiehoffman5527]

Wow! 💪😅 Every. single. thing. about this workout was amazing! And that post workout talk was golden. Sydney, I can't thank you enough! You have changed me!

[@ljiljanahercegovac1517]

Love you Sydney!!!!!!! Thank you for everything!!! I enjoy every morning to wake up with you!!! ❤️💕

[@mizzaudi713]

What an amazing workout !! I CRUSHED IT! IM so freaking proud of me ! I'm so proud of yall!! God bless yall and let's keep loving ourselves!

[@Lexus15207]

So, I am doing floor presses (as I do not have a bench) and normally I will do 25lbs for alternating CP with the dumbbells resting in the air but, BUT today, I was curious and probably insane. I pulled out my 35lbs and managed two rounds of that, with solid form before failure and managed a decent amount of reps. I am BESIDE myself with glee. Thank you so much Sydney for pushing us! Much love, stay safe and healthy everyone

[@angiedowney9837]

I felt a back strength in those rows that I haven’t felt before!!!

[@Kittiejane23]

Sydney's messages and approach have really changed my mindset in relation to strength and fitness for the better. I do it for purely for positive reasons now. Thanks Sydney!

[@andreavega9092]

PINKIES UP! Always wondered why I couldn’t feel tricep extensions before I started working out with Sydney. Changing my life and transforming my body one workout at a time. Cheers to ending the year stronger than I’ve ever been, mentally and physically 🤘🏽💪🏽

[@christinastotts5915]

Good evening, Sydney Squad! I survived my first week at my new job. I listen to Lofi Hip Hop music which I’m working to help me relax and focus. I’m proud of myself for doing these workouts even though my personal life has changed. I’m going to do an upper body stretch tonight before I go to bed. I’ll see everyone tomorrow morning for our final workout for Week 1 of our Focus program.

[@superfanielle]

Super challenging, super fun - I don't think I can lift my arms the rest of the day. Thanks Sydney for another great strength building challenge - whew! 💪💪💪

[@jillconnelly2750]

Wow! Loved the combos! One of my favorite straight up strength upper body workouts. Such creative ways of combining traditional moves. Flew by!

[@lydiacriss2643]

Thank you, Sydney for another epic workout! I always feel so strong from the workout and so motivated to crush the rest of my day! Thank you for being such a light on this platform and for being a daily inspiration to me!

[@phoebefoley7649]

Progress report! Made it through all three sets of inchworm push ups on my toes! Thank you Sydney for giving us the tools we need to make ourselves become a better version of ourselves!

[@shivid7680]

Oh god, arms are on 🔥. Thanks Sydney for a spicy workout. Crushed it stronger & harder. Have a blessed weekend all ! 😊💪💪💪💪💪

[@kellygreen7212]

Great upper body workout, working on taking those risks, thanks Sydney!

[@runningjill1]

I love it!! “If it’s worth The risk it’s worth The outcome! Thanks Sydney I needed to hear that today!

[@chrissyb8190]

I am doing this workout almost a year later and I can’t tell you how crazy my arms feel. This workout format was intense and I am so grateful that I found my way back to this channel. 💪🏾 ❤💪🏾strong. Focus Day 2 COMPLETE 🙂

[@josephinebuehler9873]

What I want to chase after is the Father's (God's) heart. He brings me fulfilment, joy, purpose, love for others, fellowship, a sound mind, self-control, peace, and confidence. This is rarely understood, but it is the best thing one can chase after that brings true fulfilment and purpose in life. Thank you Sydney for posting yet another great workout! Have a blessed day everyone!♥

[@lindseymccue2686]

I love all your workouts but this IS MY FAVORITE UPPER BODY workout my focus was on point today thx Sydney 👍👊

[@stephaniewalker712]

[@pattyberthiaume290]

Thanks Sydney. This matters to me!!!! Making it to the mat matters. Gotta make it my priority. I always feel so much better afterwards so thank you 💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@DLR21]

Love the combo moves! 40 minutes flies by with these sets! So happy I found Sydney in 2020 when the gyms closed & I stuck with them even after the gyms reopened! I am challenged to push myself in a way working alone in the gym doesn’t .

[@susanfernando4260]

Love, Loved this workout format! Arms are feeling so strong! Thanks to Sydney and her ability to bring her passion and creativity to each workout!! Amazing trainer! Thank you Sydney and Dustin for all you do for me/us!! So grateful! Happy Friday all!

[@marycorres1310]

Crushed it!! Really chock full of exercises with all the combos!! I worked out later today that the usual morning time, I know I will be sore tomorrow!! Do more of what fulfills you....being a mom you kind of forget what YOU like to do. Spending fun times with my family fulfills me but for me I really miss going to concerts....I have wanted to see Billy Joel and Elton John forever....so I'm going to look for some tickets this weekend!! Thank you Sydney!!!!

[@katiefreeman5162]

The last two circuits are my favorite of all time!!!! Love love your inspiration at the end!!!!❤️❤️

My arms are on fire and I crushed it 🥵💪🏼 thank you so much Sydney

[@jujubes]

Love the single arm/leg isolation moves. Love all your workouts ❤️ thank you Sydney! I feel my best since working out with you

[@estherjennings1655]

Crushed it! I usually skip strength training on days that I run but today I decided to do both and I made it. Yay! Thank you Sydney for always encouraging us to push our expectations higher. You’re the best trainer ever.

[@kellyyang8891]

Wow! First round I thought maybe this wasn't going to be too hard but nope! Amazing strength work. Thank you for challenging everyone to up their weights. I just did again today and am lifting heavier weights than I ever thought I could!!!

[@erinjustinrae4031]

I’m so proud of myself. I woke up around 5 and instead of waiting to do todays workout after work, I got dressed and went to work. It feels amazing having my afternoon/evening open to take care of some other things. Thanks for a great workout.

[@tonyajames601]

Happy Friday everyone. First time doing upper combos. It felt really good and thanks Sydney for your encouraging words.

[@ATM_R]

This was fantastic. Loved it. The burn was real the entire time but the combos really allowed me to focus as you said. Definitely my favorite upper body I think I’ve ever done from you!

Im trying to do so many things that other people just dont understand and even try to make me quit, but lately Im learning how to defend myself and trying to stay motivated. Your inspiring words always remembering me to not forget about my dreams and try to organize things to make steps in this direction...My passions are script writing and also singing..
