Absolute Beginner Bodyweight Workout (No Weights, No Jumping) | Joanna Soh

[@karinsost]

I used to exercise regularly and be quite fit. However, a lot has changed and today I could barely finish this workout. After completing it I burst into tears - on the one hand because I was happy and proud for exercising after such a long break but also because I was miserable about having lost most of my muscle tone and endurance. So in case anyone needs this reminder: If your work stress or some other stress is so bad that you don't have time or energy for your healthy habits anymore, it's time to make a change! Your health is your most precious asset!

[@csk3317]

yes, I am so grateful that I am not alone.

[@elizabethgilbert4941]

You are telling my story. BeforevCovid I was running 6 miles almost daily at the gym. Then I found out I had HPYLORI and my world changed. Among several other stressors. How are you doing now? I'm afraid to start.

[@karinsost]

@@elizabethgilbert4941 I quit the job that drained me a couple of months ago after saving up an emergency fund for a year. I'm now between jobs, doing a professional course to switch careers and doing 15 minute workouts 5x a week in the morning and feeling so much better physically :) I'm still not as fit as I used to be but on the right track - physically and mentally :) Good luck to you!

[@noorsherfawi415]

Proud of you ❤️

[@belleealalala]

This is me right now. It's beean about a year since i stopped my healthy habits and now i have to go back to a beginner level. I swear i will not stop with working out again lol it's so hard to get back

[@karinsost]

5 months ago I left a comment here about bursting into tears after completing this workout. This was because this workout made me understand how out of shape I was due to having given up on my healthy habits (including physical exercise) because of work stress. Today, 5 months later I did this workout again and would now like to give an update. It took some time but 2 months ago I finally turned my life around and started working out every single day. Not much, just 10-25 minutes a time. Sometimes it's a similar workout to this, other days a bit of yoga or just stretching. I feel so much better and happier now! My body doesn't hurt anymore. I don't struggle walking the stairs anymore. I feel a bit more like my old self. This workout is still challenging for me (my arms are shaking right now lol) but it's manageable! If you're feeling down and/or uncomfortable in your body then just know that 10-15 minutes can make a big difference in your life! :) Good luck!

[@kisha_6762]

Hi! I'd like you to know I'm proud of you and who you're becoming to be. Goodluck, mate, and keep going!

[@creativequeen8371]

Aww. This heartening because I used to be fit, very slim, before several chronic illnesses changed my life. This comment is encouraging. Thanks for taking the time to update. I'm in my sick bed wuth nerve damage and unable to move my kept side. Feeling a bit down, but as I cannot sleep, been watching videos and reading about getting back to a healthy place. All the best on your journey 🙂

I love that she's also showing what NOT to do - as someone who is a total beginner and exercising alone, I'm always doubting whether I'm doing things correctly and her showing what to keep an eye on helps tremendously.

[@vinitaumarwal6737]

Could you tell me is this day 1????

[@lookylookyinthere4489]

I'm gonna do this exercise every day now and... ( I'm 75 kg , 5feet and half inch) Day 1 : couldn't do it... Left halfway in circuit 1 itself but felt the burn so much Day 2: did the whole thing, felt that the mountain climber was really hard.... It's still hard even after 15 days.... I'm gonna increase my muscle too.. Day 3: did the whole thing but took a two min break just before circuit practice 2 because lf distractions... It felt easier than yesterday 😅 Day 4: Guys like this so I can come back and update 🥰

[@mad8805]

Don’t do this same workout everyday, your muscles need time to recover. Have a day or two be just cardio, have one day be focused on arms/core and another day on just lower body, then have this workout once a week. Make sure to have a rest day directly after this one (or whatever workout you push yourself hardest on)

[@abthurd]

I started this workout barely finishing the first round of workout (lower body). Now I was almost able to complete everything with a few modifications. Planning to increase the rounds and maybe move on to a longer bodyweight workouts. But just want to point out if you consistently doing this workout with good stretches, your muscles will improve. The key is to be consistent. Just make it maybe three times a week also sufficient as long as your muscles get used to the movement. Keep it up guys. We all start from the same point. Don't give up and most importantly give your body time to adjust and adapt. Our body is smarter than you think

[@97AshleyRose]

Did you gain muscle from doing this? I need to gain weight and muscle my muscles feel weak from lack of exercise

[@josephinenorah6908]

Hello everyone, I just finished this work out and my arms are shaking. I used to be pretty strong but the past few years I have not worked out and I feel like I have lost all progress I ever made. I decided to try this video out to see how the plan felt and honestly I was about to give up after the second set, but I’m glad I didn’t. I’m starting this plan on Monday (so I’ll repeat this video) and hope I can stick with it. All my gyms are closed and I feel that it is hard to find motivation to work out at home. I like videos because I don’t have to think about what workout to do next and I can just think about actually doing it. However I’m tired of having to look for a video every time and it’s nice to have a beginner friendly plan, that actually feels like beginner level. I’m excited to finish this plan and give you guys an update! Thank you Joanna for making it! Update: its the day after and my whole body is sore. I did do some extra exercises but still 🥵

[@sweetlolitaChii]

I'm in the exact same boat as you are. I used to be moderately fit and kinda strong, but during quarantine I really let myself go and gained a good 10-15 pounds. I'm super super sore so I'm trying to actively rest by doing walking and gentle everyday movements until my muscles are rested enough to try this again. I know it'll get easier as it goes on. Best of luck to you!

[@laurethore2728]

Same for me, kinda strong, kinda fit and BOUM quarantine... I'm shaking too and can't hold the plank more than 20' :( but I won't quit this time!

[@josephinenorah6908]

I’m so glad you guys are trying this out too! I must admit I accidentally quit the program because my life has been so busy. But I just turned in my last big assignment of the semester and I’m ready to try again! I don’t it really difficult to stay motivated but I hope I’m able to this time. I feel like I’m in a strangers body and I just want to feel like myself again, and healthier. I’m not saying that there is something wrong with how I look now, I can just feel that I want to work out so I can be stronger and feel healthier + more energized throughout the day.

[@BeingBetter]

This is so inspiring to read.

[@kainathfatima6498]

This works!!!! I have been doing these exercises for a few weeks every alternate day and i could see alot of difference

[@SharonRaeRyan]

So glad to find a beginner bodyweight instructor who focuses on form first! When I saw no jumping I was worried my heart rate wouldn't go up enough to consider this a cardio workout, but it did! Can't wait to do it again!

[@sweetlolitaChii]

I will update as I keep working out. I'm at the beginning of week 3 of excersizing after being out of shape. I rested 2-3 days a week. This is the FIRST day I finally got through the whole workout, but I had to take way longer breaks. Finished in 47 minutes. You can do it too! I believe in you! I was dying the first week, haha. And the soreness goes away. - 24 May EDIT: I'm at the end of 5 weeks of this workout now. It's definitely a little bit easier, but I'm still doing longer and more frequent pauses than the video does. I also rest every other day now and do static and dynamic recovery. This workout still kicks. My. BUTT. - 26 March 2022 I came back to this workout after taking a long break from strength training but my job since July has been active and constantly on my feet. The lower body workout hilariously is still the one that's the hardest to complete for me, but now the upper body and core isn't much of a problem. It goes to show that standing and walking, and lifting throughout the day is IMPORTANT, even if you aren't intentionally working out

[@wendyberrios5957]

I’m not a beginner per se. I used to do your HIIT cardio videos very frequently and was very strong, but life took me on a journey where I feel like a beginner again. I hadn’t worked out well in about 5 months and my body is feeling it. I’d been neglecting my body and after this workout, it feels grateful. Thank you for all your great videos for so many different exercise levels. You are always so encouraging. Thank you.

[@joannasohofficial]

Glad to hear that you are back!! Yes, it feels great to move, sweat and be stronger!! Keep it up, ok? ❤️

[@doneikawhittaker3404]

This workout is a testament to how much I needed the exercise. I've been putting off exercising for months. I was hardly keeping up in the beginning, I was out of breath, my whole body was shaking and i was sweating profusely. I basically died in the second portion but thankfully fell back on track with the final part, but I must confessed that I only did like three mountain climbers my arms could not support me.

Started the 8-week workout plan today... I've tried so many workouts put out by other amazing Fitness KZbinrs and some worked on me really well. I've decided to try this to experience something new and I'm glad I did. I love how she holds me accountable so I make sure to get the right form and maintain it. I didn't feel the pressure of making as many reps (often times losing my form) while I follow other fitness instructors. I focused on making as many reps with proper form. I can't believe I sweated this much from doing a 25-min w/o that is not even that intense. Maybe because I was doing them in the right forms? I also love that she's sweating heavily as me.

As beginner, i can do this till the end!!! So happy 🔥🔥🔥

[@joannasohofficial]

Well done!!!! You did well!!! Do repeat this workout at least 2 times weekly ok?

[@clarathiry201]

I finished the 8 week challenge and decided to go back to the first week to see how/if I progressed. I have and I still have some ways to go--finished most of this workout but am challenged by the core exercises. So great! Thanks Joanna!

From 8weeks program did you lost any weight..plzz let us..It really motivate us

[@clarathiry201]

@@melyndajoseph9482 I did not lose very much weight I DID see a huge difference in my body though. I am more toned and my clothes fit differently. I am logging my food and TRYING to lose weight.....I am also struggling with a sore shoulder... so have been giving myself a rest. I do love this workout though

[@clarathiry201]

I really love her workouts....trying to stick to workouts that don't put demands on my shoulder while I heal

Hey Joanna! This is such an awesome workout for beginners like me. I was sweating by the end of it 😃. Could you create a beginner series workout playlist so that we can gradually move on the ladder?🙏🏻

[@TinglyTappingASMR]

So excited to try this today!! Motivation is in the air! ❣️

[@ahsanamohsin2468]

Just started my 8 week program with this wonderful challenging 30 minutes of the day…wish me luck

[@Sofyzeta0004]

After 10 minutes I had to take a break I feel weak omg I need the motivation

[@nasaihwaifadate]

I only did 24 min I couldn't finish the workout..I'll try tomorrow again

[@osaniss]

@@nasaihwaifadate dont do it everyday, your muscles need at least 24 h to rest before you work them out again. Or else they will not grow, only weaken

[@coo-4881]

Your muscles will get stronger before you know it and it'll be wayyy easier for you then

[@arrencybiey4021]

Joanna I have to say I really love all your workout video .After barely finish this whole exercise I was drench with sweat and cry myself .It is just so tough but I made it 🥺

[@adrienneg9746]

Just finished this.. you kicked my butt!! I'm a beginner but I love how clear you were on the instructions!!! Can't wait to do the rest for the 8 week challenge 😁 you're awesome!!!!

[@sookguttilla3979]

Let me say this! I am so glad I found her youtube channel and that she has workouts for all levels, nutrition information, what to eat, all of it - all in one so thank you @Joanna Soh Official. Secondly, her workouts are no joke. Just because it says beginner, it is very challenging. Imagine the next levels? But say it this way, if it is easy, then you do not benefit. I am still working on being able to do the whole sequence. I,too, had to modify or skip an exercise. I got bad knees so hopefully by continuing, I can gain some strength and mobility from it all. I am doing some of the walking exercise workout and boy, do i get a good sweat from it all. try it , I have been doing the 10,000 steps. No, i don't get 10,000 in, I can get 4000 steps and she encourages that you can do the workout twice but best to get outside and walk. And, are these hard, they sure are. But I am not stopping. Need to myself back to being healthy and strong. Again, thanks Joanna!

The only workout guru on KZbin who sweats during a workout. 😂 Actually beginner friendly.❤

[@ayeshasaleem6043]

Hey, I did this workout today, honestly speaking it was easy and refreshing, I really felt good after completing this, recently I did your 10 minute teen workout, and now I am moving towards longer duration of workouts, I will try my best to keep updating!!!🤗🤗 Its Day 2 and my body, it hurts[a lot] well that is a sign that my muscles are loosing up and my body will get used to it soon. Looking forward.

When I reached the mountain climber part, Joanna said "I don't wanna see your butt piking up." Then me realizing my butt was piking up xD guiltily lowering my butt down

[@kimikohide6940]

Firts day of the 8 weeks. I'm starting this after 5 months of dieting and exercising and 10 lost, fod a couple of months I just kept my weight as it was, now I'm ready to go on with my health journey. Day 1 : 81 kg (Will update every week)

[@carnagecabage8323]

I remember doing this for the first time and my form was 90% of the time off, and I took so many breaks and had to go 3x slower than you. but coming back a few weeks later I only took a few seconds of a break and I followed your tempo and had way better form! So proud of myself 🤭 Edit: 1 month later and zero breaks, all in tempo :)

[@salonisingh7606]

Hey, were you doing these workouts daily? Or did you take breaks?

[@carnagecabage8323]

@@salonisingh7606 I switched up my workouts each day but did them almost daily. I took a weekly break on Sundays since it is the Sabath, and I took breaks when I absolutely couldn't find the time or strength to do a workout. I usually made up that time later on to stay consistent.

Day 14 of 8 week workout complete! I did better than the first time, I definitely did more reps of everything than I could on day 1!

[@gracepearson5905]

This is for absolute beginners?! 😭 I’m so unfit that even this is way beyond my capabilities I would injure myself if I tried But I’m going to set this as my goal hopefully in a few weeks I will be able to have a go at this workout

[@ektaroy1212]

Exactly that's what I have been thinking

Greetings from wonderful sweet and cold Sweden. I am a 57-year-old old woman who likes to do exercises and videos. I became a youtuber a month ago. And got the motivation and positive energy from young people like you. Thanks for sharing

[@pacheeyangpattinson]

Thank you Joanna! This workout was a great one for beginners!

[@AlioH89]

Great beginners workout. I love that you emphasise how important it is to ensure you have good form. One thing I just could not do was the tricep dip! I tried really hard but could barely lift up at all. Think I need to find some tricep focused exercises to work on too!

[@kirazinn]

Great workout! I like the 2nd circuit a lot 🙂

[@joannasohofficial]

Wow!! You love upper body workouts! Very rare, but that's good!!

Thank you so much for this, this was one of the best work outs i've ever done. And thank you for doing the work out with us, it was one of the greatest motivators! Amazing Job!

[@joanthomas4530]

I have been looking for a workout routine that is suitable for me because my apt is on the 3rd floor. I've decided to get in shape and not allow arthritis/ chronic pain get in the way and this routine is damn near perfect! Thank you so much! I will update you on my progress💛

Hear hear. Me too. Good luck to us both. We got this! Hope you started and are going great guns with it?
