"stronger not skinnier" love that!!

[@luciemcadams9016]

Im actually recovering from 16 years of severe enduring anorexia and found your channel through your fitness journey video. Ive found healthy exercise and slowly upping my intake over the last year to be the key to my recovery, both mentally and physically and its saved my life. You're so inspiring to me Emma - thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@sarahharrison3332]

Lucie McAdams that’s so great Lucie I hope you continue to do amazing on your journey ❤️

[@luciemcadams9016]

@@sarahharrison3332 Thank you! 💕

[@nalaspridee2671]

Proud of you💕

[@morganam4099]

I'm so happy for you! I wish you all the luck in the world

[@lalalalalalalala8111]

I'd love to see some workouts that you and Monika do! I'm so bad at planning them!

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

Great idea!!

[@kerrya2794]

Really like to see a full body workout, especially one we could do at home. Feel like I see a lot of leg and ab videos but I wouldn’t really know where to start with a full body

[@b_utterflygirl8175]

the hobby talk part has me in tears - shouldn't have watched this while PMSing 😭😂 i danced for almost 20 years of my life and realise now that it was my most beloved hobby. i was devastated to have to stop and once i'm back in a position where i can, i am 100% starting Zumba!! i've honestly been looking into it for about 2 years but now is the time to put the excuses down and start. thank you, Emma and Monika! 💖😘

[@hannahc2939]

❤️❤️ Love that you and Monika have become mates through fitness. Monika is so helpful and knowledgeable glad you have been in such good hands through your fitness journey ❤️

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

Emma did FANTASTIC job. Amazing commitment and fabulous personality 😍

[@edelynagustin]

This is exactly the type of video I've been searching for. Thank you!! I have the same goals as you. Of course I want to look slimmer, but most importantly I want to be strong. My muscle strength is literally non exsistant and I've been working on it for a month now. This is a video I really needed to push it further

[@laurenwood8806]

"You should not have the feeling that you have self worth of being there" - this comment is everything?!?! I cannot believe how much knowledge, information and support on FITNESS rather than food there is in this video. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@KeyannaWeaver]

I looove weight training/lifting so much! I'm so glad that I've found something that I enjoy doing for daily exercise! It's so true that you need to find a form of exercise that you find fun and enjoy, because then you will keep up with it and see the results you want!

[@florencebastien2162]

One way I combined my DIY nature with my belief in sustainability with my focus on health was to say that I felt best about eating something only as frequently as I was willing to make it myself. I realized that I love fried chicken, but I don’t have it that often because I hate frying chicken and making my entire kitchen dirty. It also makes me appreciate it more when I do eat it!

[@Bix65lolipop]

Ladies you inspire me so much! Would love to have Monika again on your channel with some more advice☺️

[@emgoodluck416]

Well done on your weight loss!!! I lost 5 stone 1 pounds since just over a year ago! Does change you’re life dramatically! 🖤

[@constanceworden487]

Your journey has been an inspiration to watch. I battle with being to thin, thanks to a chronic GI disease, but my 18 yr old daughter struggles with her weight. I totally agree about loving what you do, so you look forward to it and don’t dread it. Consistency is very important. Keep doing you!!!

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

Youre stronger than you think Girl 🌺

[@hotfrozenpasta6932]

Enjoying the speficic type of exercise is so important. I used to take ballroom dance classes and I've always been fond of dancing which is why I started dance workouts at home to get back in shape. Knowing that I can move my body in a way that I enjoy while listening to music that I like makes it so much better and I even look forward to the workouts most days. But I will probably start with weights as well, I want to get stronger and not just skinny, just as you said!

[@hotfrozenpasta6932]

Also what you said about your space in the gym is as valuable as everyone else's made me tear up a little. Yesterday I was talking to my boyfriend about getting a gym membership with him and then I realised I'm so scared about what other people would think if I go to the gym without a plan, not being fit etc. So thank you for that!

[@kaelaburgess5005]

I just want to say, I'm not very active on KZbin at all, but I just found you yesterday and I've watched a few of your videos and you are so inspiring to say the least. I see so much of myself in you, especially with hating running, not knowing too many exercises, but especially with being invested in something and then one day waking up and quitting. I've never met anyone like that before and I thought for a long time I was the only one who did that, or something must be wrong with me! I did that with ballet as a kid and it continued through every dance class I took as I got older and I could never understand it. Today, I'm 29 years young, and find myself wondering why it's so hard for me to stay motivated and finish a fitness program start-finish but your videos give me so much encouragement and are something I look forward to watching! So, thank you for being you and putting out this beautiful content! xo from the States, Kaela

[@LaurenGod]

Such an inspiration. I've been working on my fitness and overall health since December, and I'm seeing some real results. I agree with all of your advice, and can guarantee they are the key to a healthier, happier life. The struggle for me is just the fear that it could all go away again one day. I know that it may come, but as long as you push yourself to keep at it and, like you say, find something you love (for me, ice skating/rollerblading and yoga ❤️), you can find your way back again. It's ok to stumble and lose your way a bit, before picking it up and getting back it at. Great video love x

[@TheClivesterr]

Love this video!! Please do a video on your go to healthy snacks whether they’re home made protein muffins or just grab and go snacks 😍😍 could be an IGTV idea? Keep up the hard work, you’re doing amazing!!! Xx

[@ilariabeechey-newman3653]

This video made me love my big thighs - I can deadlift 120kg, and my big thighs are the reason why!!

[@KGunny]

Watched this while on the treadmill. Thanks for posting!

[@gwendolyncarla]

Hella random but where is this wallpaper from? I love it so much. Also, I love how realistic this video was. Very informative :)

[@daisyblanksby5902]

[@weisabunny]

[@leadbeautifulgirl]

Emma you are AMAZING! You have inspired me so much on my own health and fitness journey, much love

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

YOU CAN DO IT. little patience and consistency 💪

[@JeSSiMKah]

Monikas so lovely. Turning fitness into a hobby is a great way of thinking about it, I turned my hobby into work and either need a new job or a new hobby now 😋

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

Exactly 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@clairethemamabear]

*Sigh* I really needed this as a kick up the arse to get back into doing Slimming World properly, and finding an exercise too. Thanks loves xxx

[@northgirl77]

Monica looks like Kate Middleton! Is that just me? Thank you for the motivational video girls!!!

[@Jenny-zm2xf]

Love your Pickle Rick Mug! ;) And thanks for the great advice, inspiration for my own journey!

[@Maxerboy101]

Ahh so excited for THIS VIDEO

[@hayleydavies9148]

Fab video, I’ve just started my fitness journey. You are one of my inspirations xx

[@alyssamangrum9074]

I LOVE your fitness content. thank you for being so inspiring, authentic and honest! 🤍

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

Authenticity is a KEY 💥

[@alyssamangrum9074]

Monika Chmielewska I couldn’t agree more.😊

[@Becca.L1234]

I’m currently going to the gym either 2 or 3 times a week. I’m enjoying the gym and have just started doing a Zumba class. However, my downfall is food. I’ve tried so many times and there’s been times I’ve lost weight but I always go back to binge eating and putting it all back on. I just don’t know how to change my mindset on it 😕

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

Yeah for ZUMBA 🧚‍♀️

[@jannekemoazizi7575]

Try looking up intuitive eating and google Rhitrition! For me, it's extremely helpful as I have an unhealthy relationship with food and don't want to push myself so it allows me to listen to my body's needs while also making an effort to be healthier. Also, flexetarianism (spelling?) is great (at leat fo rme) cos it means I eat more consciously and plant-inspired without pushing myself to lengths I know I'm unlikely to follow for too long 😊

[@kyrat6079]

Maybe trying to slowly change your diet will help with that, dont cut out the things you enjoy but try and make your overall diet healthier bit by bit and still allow yourself to eat some of those foods you crave. Ive been trying to eat more veggies but im still allowing myself to eat foods like pizza or cookies. Veggies are less calorie dense so you can eat more and not feel super hungry. Also ive heard cutting your calories way down can make it harder to stop binging bc your body needs that energy. Good luck i believe in you!!

[@aConvivialParticle]

physio here, THANK YOU for talking about being honest with your PT and physio! we can't help you if you don't tell us :) also, if you like functional goals, check out powerlifting and olympic lifting if you haven't already

[@samanthamussellwhite8886]

Yes please to workouts from yourself and Monika! Some home workouts would be fabulous if you could :) x

Just finished it :-) so good! Much love from California 💚✌🏼

Loved this video so much ladies! Everything you both said was spot and soo relatable! ♥️👌🏻🙌🏻

[@livywoodward8666]

Love brown pasta, its a swap my mum made at home years ago and I've never had different. For those wanting recipes Pinch of Nom is incredible!

[@Glitterpop785]

I also did brown rice pasta but have now switched over to quinoa pasta! I personally feel like it's a more true texture to the real thing.

[@rebeccaharper1004]

Please do the workout videos you mentioned xx

[@iyelastudio]

If you join a gym, make sure it's a place you feel welcome. I'm not saying all gyms are like this but definitely this specific gym where I live the trainers are all very off-putting, unreliable, so TRANSPARENT that all they care for is the money, and are actually rude when you speak to them, including the trainers. Make sure you invest in a place where you feel you have support around you.

[@CatfishMili]

I felt so uncomfortable at Les Mills! If you weren’t already fit and beautiful, you felt so out of place. The trainers are super rude and cliquey

[@orawilliams5678]

I just got a gym membership and now with the virus, I am terrified to go, and I want to lose 55 pounds this year It's just so sad 😥😭😭

[@Noname-tg2mo]

Ora Williams I knoooow I made up my mind to go to the gym but everything is closed for 2 weeks 😭 what is life

[@leahmcdermott4189]

Anna BL Same, I made my mind up to keep going gym. No ones going because of this virus. But my gym is still open and I’m still going regularly. The gym is literally almost empty, so I’m not concerned. How am I going to contract the virus and spread it if no ones even there 🤷‍♀️. Getting fit all 2020! 🤪

[@L0veepanicc]

do keto instead. it's a myth that the gym is the best way to lose fat

[@anamartinez8908]

I've lost 10 pounds during the quarantine. before I was gyming as well and now I jog for at least 90 minutes a day. I use the peloton app, it's free rn for 90 days. it has definitely helped my workouts. good luck!

[@shiho.5412]

'loved this video so much :) , if i started eating clean and follow a low carp meal plan do i have to count fruit and vegetable ? also some fruit have a lot of sugar doesn't really effect with low carp plan

[@b-loved7777]

Thank you guys 🌊💞💞💞yes please make workout videos 🙏🏽☺️

[@memeeemm]

Yey i am Polish too!

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

Pozdrawiam!!

[@mollywatson9211]

SUCH a helpful video !!! Thank you!!! Xxxx

[@karretjee795]

I'm sorry for the late question. But how do you workout a fieuw days in a row when your muscles are super sour???

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

I do!! I either train different muscle group or do cardio/zumba/combat class.

[@c.k.1958]

Thank you for this helpful and motivating video 👍🙂✨

[@9melissal]

I have to think for a second everytime you say pt because i know pt as physical therapy

[@ToniLouisee24]

What is your watch? Is it an apple watch or a fitbit?

[@alissawieman3043]

Monika looks just like Monica from friends!

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

Hahahah havent heard that one!

[@TheGoldfishCracker]

Super weird that I had 2 minutes left in your fitness journey video, then this posted!

[@querenm3303]

Why it's so hard to lose weight 😭😭😭😭

[@emilyberry5702]

Do you have a link to that calculator?

[@ZUMIKAFIT]

Hi Emily, just type macronutrients calculator. Moste of them are similar and numbers you get will be pretty legit.

[@emileematthews5137]

What app/website do you use to calculate and track your macros and BMI?

[@TheOneCurly]

Did you intermittent fast?

[@lizzyg1758]

Can I ask, what kind of watch are you wearing Emma?

[@ladyfitness67]

Thanks. New subbie to both channels.

[@lelurve]

1) can i eat a full lunch after workout? because i workout during lunch break 2) i have stupid questions -- is it ok to drink a lot after eating? is that not going to interrupt with digestion? :D thanks! xoxo

[@kleingeld6132]

If you're hungry, you can and should eat after the workout! There's also no reason to not have lots of water after a meal :)

[@reko420dmv]

Which Kardashian are you?

[@meganmapes8026]

Do you wear an apple watch or fitness tracker? Did you find that to be a useful tool in your fitness journey?

[@abi1021]

What is “split?”

[@lelani5901]

Yes yes yes all the yes 👌🏽❤️
