Hearing you have deep breaths is so comforting! All these fitness youtubers barely break a sweat so i never watch them

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Lol - can't be helped! :)

[@anime4l823]

I never knew this 5 min of my life would be like 50 min. totally enjoying it ❤️

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Lol - love it! :)

[@Majaguanaru]

Great work out! Do this 3 times a week and you will see a difference. I had to stop running due to knee issues and this is becoming a new passion. I started with 25lb weight's about 3 months ago and now I am at 35lbs. Thank you! Turning 50 soon!

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Fantastic - 50 is amazing!!!!

[@kokocute123]

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nerdsfixedit8841]

what length and diameter of barbell did you purchase?

[@stephenrutherford6182]

You are totally inspirational, I have just turned 60 and thought I should get in shape so I'm playing with 25kg on a bar to start with. I know I will never be able to do your full work out but I will do less repetitions on all your lifts. Great video!

[@helenlewis5590]

I’ve just acquired a barbell and yours is the first barbell workout I’ve tried - and it was just perfect (although challenging for a 62 year old who’s been on a fitness drive for the last 4 years). Thank you for making this 🙏🏼😊🏋🏻‍♀️❤️

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Great to hear! Consistency is key!

[@theartistliz9656]

Great workout! Ty

[@marshahughesworkouts]

You're so welcome!

[@denisegatens1054]

Wow 👌 that was intence ferling the burn 🔥

[@alisiamalu9757]

This was just what I needed today at the gym. Had to switch up a boring routine. Thank you! Now I need to work on my balance because my single leg dead lifts were horrendous 😂💪 woke up my core REAL good haha

[@ashleyseay2871]

Do 2 sets of 50 single leg calf raises 2 times a day and focus on your breathing. Along with that do 100 second holds with 2 legs twice a day and as you get better add 25 rises and add 50 seconds to your holds

[@amfitkywn]

You are a fitness beast! Great conditioning-cardio-strength-fat burning full body combo. I was looking for a barbell HIIT to perform it after my weight training. Amazing HIIT workout.

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Happy to help! Thank you! xo

[@NviGWarren]

Heyzus lady!! Omg that was crazy!! Thanks!!

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Hope you liked it!

[@verlisashepherd1906]

I'm about to try this workout

[@avianu]

Just fantastic

[@julieheseltine360]

Omg might only be five minutes but definitely packs a punch feeling knackered 😂😂

[@debbiemayberymaybery2506]

Love this!

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Thanks so much!

[@louisedonnelly477]

started this today. on 10 kgs. I never worked out but I am determined. I will check back in 100 days

[@missd2939]

This so freaking awesome thank you 😂

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Thanks Miss D - you are awesome!

[@syawalidris3336]

Best 5 min workout ever!

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Thank you!!!

[@adrianaalvarado999]

Great workout!!!

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Glad you liked it!!

[@Genesis-ew2xi]

I AM A BEGINNER. Just bought a barbell and I wanted to try a quick routine. THANK YOU! This was a doable challenge on my first attempt and it's short enough to squeeze into a daily routine. All my barbell weights add up to 9kgs.

[@marshahughesworkouts]

You're so welcome!

[@stevet6676]

You show awesome strength with all those overhead presses!

[@marshahughesworkouts]

I appreciate that!

[@debbiemayberymaybery2506]

I did this twice today! Can’t find any other workouts like this particular complex barbell anywhere on U Tube. They are either to complicated or to long. Thanks for this one at least. ❤️

[@marshahughesworkouts]

You're so welcome!

[@ceciliasawicki6647]

I just did it and I’m so tire . Thank you can you show some exercises for hip ?

[@funkyfit8319]

did this workout today, fantastic!! can be doubled or trebled up, simple but effective and better than nothing. Just imagine if you dont already exercise for various reasons but you found you could do this every day....then see yourself in the mirror after 365 days I am sure you will see a difference! (with weight increments of course). If you do nothing else - do this everyday for 100 days and then leave your comments with Marsha!!

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Love your enthusiasm and great ideas!

[@aakaash19958]

Did you try this for 100 days?

[@HannahCoziCorner]

How did it go?

[@MelzFellz]

Hey, that was awesome! Definitely gave me a quick sweat, and I totally needed it.

[@marshahughesworkouts]

So glad!

[@miradomin9549]

Great workout. Great video. Thank you. Hugs

[@marshahughesworkouts]

You are so welcome! xo

[@funkyfit8319]

I BELIVE YOU MARSHA !!

[@Gitanarosa]

I’m doing this in the mornings from now on.

[@maritzamartinez1602]

I’m so glad I found this! I’m going to try to do it for 60 days and see how much results I get!

[@Rinnifty]

How did it go!?

[@maritzamartinez1602]

Didn’t do it LOL

[@maritzamartinez1602]

I’m back

[@belladonnelly8063]

Just got a bar with 2x 5 kg weights might just start off with bar only and do more reps and sets. I love bar bell work outs. I’m 68 and just getting back into it so will take it easy thanks for sharing

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Sounds great! Keep going!

[@pascaledevalet5621]

Love this short workout. Do you have same workout in 10 minutes??. Pls. Thank you.

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Not yet!

[@jcookie9448]

This looks like so much fun! If you don't mind me asking, what's the length of your barbell? I'm looking for a shorter one :)

[@janetfry5433]

My barbell arrived yesterday 😊😊the bar is 25lbs without weights so I just used the bar to see how the workout would go . Absolutely love the workout … 🥰🥰

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Fantastic!

[@growthmindsetshift]

I used to not even be able to pick up 5 pound dumbells, and now I can **mostly** do this workout with 25 pounds. I’m so excited to see my body get stronger and thank you for this awesome workout!

[@marshahughesworkouts]

That's awesome! You got this!

[@archanapardhan2139]

Is it helpfull to loose inches,????

[@jamieng5159]

thank you for this short but powerful barbell workout. i started with “it’s only 5 minutes” but throughout the middle i went like “are we done yet?” 🤣🤣 i’m still gasping for air 💦

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Keep it up - so awesome to hear this!

[@juneandrew7026]

Please more barbell workouts. Thanks Marsha 🙏

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Will do!

[@Pil-Sung-Freestyle-Taekwondo]

Thats brilliant. I cant lift 50 like you. Lol Is there a modification you can recommend me? I have a back problem and cant do the stiff legged deadlift and row

[@hectorricardodelacruzmonte2566]

Nice... rlly nice... ice justbtried it... eooof suscrioted❤❤❤

[@deb8183]

Great workout, hearing you breathing made me realize My breathing is normal& just becoz you’re in better shape, it’s ok . I can work up to it. It takes practice.

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Lol - yes - heavy breathing is VERY normal when we're working hard no matter the level of fitness!

[@donharrold1375]

The key with all condensed programs is maximising the volume by eliminating rest. When you watch some people in the gym it’s 40 mins checking instagram and sitting around for every 10 mins of exercise. I’m not sure about only 5 mins, but doing something is 100% better than making an excuse to skip exercise that day!

[@tinkerbell2882]

Omg these was the out of 100s video so glad i came across saving it n sharing it thanks

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-ut4kd3wj7c]

What kind of timer you used here? Thax

[@mishikhan1407]

Its very effective can i continue in my periods

[@goldielocs6638]

I would like to purchase a barbell set can you recommend one for me

[@sharvonwoodard-therealtor7145]

Where did you purchase the barbell set from?

[@jyxander5597]

Hi where did you get your barbells? I'm trying to get one. Thank you I enjoy your workouts.

[@laurenmadison7838]

BodyRock scultbar

[@simplymiya3820]

I’m new to strength training. Can you recommend a barbell with plates like the one in the video to me? I’m extra petite, so I would like something shorter barbell. I’m a new subbie. Thank you.

[@cerealwarriorprincess3850]

You can get a modular barbell, it's like a set of dumbbell bars that you can assemble with a connector into a bar. It can be as long or as short as you want. (theres a few sizes of connector) that's what I use and I'm also a bit short.

[@ashleyseay2871]

For an athlete do you think this times 3 or 4 is enough to be a challenge and full workout for the day? Or is 1set of this routine enough

[@lanaspastries1757]

I love this workout! Can you please tell me the brand of the barbell and how big it is? Thank You :)

[@marshahughesworkouts]

I actually bought it from bodyrock - it's their standard barbell. Comes with a couple of plates.

[@yarragregorio8447]

Newbie looking at this video at the gym right now ✨

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Welcome!

[@karlagora8669]

Great video! How many kilos or pounds did you lift or how many do you recommend to lift?

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Always lift as heavy as you can manage with good form!

[@alishanasrin3175]

Very nice

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Thanks

[@KS-op5hb]

ok I am just starting. what barbell set do you recommend. I am 5'3, 118lb and have only done 5lb dumbells thus far...so I think I need a lighter set for now. ANYONE else new...what did you invest in for at home

[@01vincent2506]

My 4th day straight doing this. Love and hate.

[@raquelalmeida5675]

Super

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Thanks

[@mg-oh3nt]

Ha! Felt great doing it. Five hours later my gluts, hammies and arms feel like sand bags. 😆Awesome workout.

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Good stuff!

[@bukkydare7084]

Please where is your barbell from. I have been looking for one to buy with no luck

[@RobnsGals]

What model of gymboss do you have? Mine only does 2 time intervals but I'd love to be able to do ladders with increasing times. Love this video. Using it for my class this morning.

[@marshahughesworkouts]

I have the basic one but I’ve also downloaded the app on my phone. It will allow unlimited intervals!

[@RobnsGals]

@@marshahughesworkouts ty. Ill check out the app

[@oldcityexplorer]

Thank you for sharing! What weight i should use for this workout?

[@marshahughesworkouts]

As much as you can manage with good form!

[@sailajasangepu2987]

Will it help in weight loss and reduce belly fat

[@sksar93]

Where can I purchase this barbell?

[@millah_knows_b3st]

Where you get your barbell and how many feet is it ?

[@ShortsByKritee]

What weight should I take?? My body weight is 52kgs

[@cherryb6218]

Hi, Love this exercise. How many calories are burnt during the 5 minutes barbell exercise

[@marshahughesworkouts]

Calories burned depends on so many factors. Your weight, your gender, your intensity etc. Maybe wearing a FitBit or some kind of Fitness Tracker would be a good idea if you really wanna find out! :)

[@cherryb6218]

Will do. Thank you for your response

[@seascape0881]

Her: “and we’re going to do single leg dead lifts” Me: Laughing😆 😂As I look like a drunk ballerina as I have no balance! Lol
