BEGINNER UPPER BODY WORKOUT - Foundational exercises, form cues, no equipment | Dr. LA Thoma Gustin

[@amandaw5842]

This is the best actually beginner friendly upper body workout video on youtube

[@geridiorio8160]

"This will be useful to teach me proper form, but I won't really get a workout from it." is what I thought after doing this yesterday. TELL THAT TO MY SORE ARMS TODAY! Thank you! I love your workouts!

[@daretobeactive]

haha I feel you girl! Just when I think something is going to be easy I cant walk the next day😂

[@haydenm3990]

These workouts kick my ass even though I’m like “oh yeah looks easy” 😂 just do 1 of your 10 minute workouts a day and a big walk and I’m loving it. Cheers LA!!

[@jinxgirl5]

What I love the most about this video is how you tell us about body position. There have been so many exercise videos that are like "yea, just do this", but they don't tell you things like keeping your body aligned in certain ways or making sure your elbows point this way or your shoulders should be doing this. I used to go to yoga classes and one of the best parts was the teachers being able to check what I was doing and correct me if I was doing it wrong or encourage me to try a harder position. This video feels a bit like being in those classes again, having someone help make sure I'm doing the exercises properly! Many thanks :D

I used to be in karate in high school so at that point of time, i was relatively fit. 10 years later, not so much. My upper body is weak and my posture problems often give me a stiff back and back ache. This workout is soo good because i got a sweat on and felt lighter afterwards. Love your videos!

[@jvmonsterz]

Thank God!! Lmao all these other upper body videos on youtube look way too hard for a beginner like me. This one looks perfect!! Trying it first thing tomorrow morning! 😊

[@lingzhiamanita1794]

I feel like I finally worked out with a real person 🤣 I've been put of shape for a while and this was perfect thank you!!

[@lauren-1928]

Hi Dr. LA Thoma Gustin, This video is great. I never knew about the first exercise so thank you, and it's my upper body day! Let's do it!! 💙

[@skinkscat]

just starting to try and work out and since i already follow u on instagram i came here, so hyped

[@mollytornado]

Thank you so much for this video. I finally feel like I can work on my upper body without dreading it. So many 'beginner' videos are not beginner friendly at all for someone coming from practically zero but this video was great.

[@Mtao94]

I'm loving these workouts so far! I think these are very doable and encouraging for beginners. Thank you!

[@user-oo7sc7md8c]

My knees are really bad but doing these on my knees didnt hurt, i love your workouts! Thank you!!

[@aninditabandyopadhyay8810]

I just did this after the 10 minutes whole body stretch and holy hell, I'm sweating, my heart rate is up and I feel loose limbed and wonderful. I was dying during the last bit but so worth it.

[@cristinevolfango1632]

This is so useful. I love that there's guidance on the proper form. More workout videos please!

[@tzoulik3607]

Thank you. I was waiting for this since day one I have such week arms, I'll do this tomorrow❤️

@@daretobeactive I just recently subscribed and i am starting from the beginning! Thank you for doing these videos! It helps me get more motivated when I see other people doing it because it makes me want to to it with them! I am glad you do live workouts, too!

[@anniewhitney3324]

I actually just realized this isn't the beginning of your videos! Whatever its still great!😂😁

[@skinkscat]

did your lower body work out and then ate some salad and proteins and did this, just a start but im already feeling good abt this

[@xvyvyx]

it's been a few months since I've injured by shoulders, mostly the left one and the external rotation + swimmer actually felt really good!! (I try and do that 90 degree straight up posititon/stretch against a wall and still can't get my left all the way back). Knew I had weak writs (injured the left one a few months ago too lol). But i didn't know how weak until trying some of these. That tip later in the video about putting something under will definitely be used That tricep dip was impossible for me, so I just tried to work on the arm movements. lower body is still sore from the beginners lowerbody/glutes video of yours. I love the way you do these, it makes the time go by fast! Will be trying the upperback and shoulders exercises next. :)

[@nidakadri1101]

Thank you so much for this one I've literally been checking my phone everyday for a video and because you uploaded one it just brightened up my day. I just wanted to know what app you use because normally I just follow your steps but I thought if someone knew a good app for exercising then it would be you so do u have any suggestions??? Again thank you so much and love you and Grant so much for what you do

[@tzoulik3607]

Pretty sure she makes her own workouts

[@daretobeactive]

There are a ton of great workout apps! I really like Kayls Itsines, I think hers is called Sweat.

Hi Dr LA I love your videos because you take the time to explain how to do the exercises properly without hurting yourself

[@natrol1124]

Great video !! I am weaker on the upper body it is good !! I feel like I'm shaking fast and my shoulders hurt quickly. I'm going to plan it in my weekly sessions, thank you 👌😉

Wow ! Great video !! I love You❤️❤️

[@hi-xd1pf]

thank you so much for these videos la!❤

[@huda9445]

I always find the side plank so hard and no one ever shows us from the knees, and I can’t the one from the toes because I’m heavy and my arms are weak , so thank you for showing the easier way.

[@daretobeactive]

doing it from the knees is also a great workout! I would rather you have good form then struggle to do it the more difficult way

[@stellarubin7134]

Great Workout!!!!!😃🥰 I’m doing this workout with your lower body workout!!!!!❤️ Gettin a little bit of everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😁

[@a-disaster5285]

This actually seems possible for weaklings like me! Thank you for your video

[@rachelhitchcock7188]

I needed this so much since I'm a stylist all my work is upper body. Can you do a video where you use your puppers as weights I would love to incorporate my boston since she wont leave me alone during exercises anyway. Lol

[@daretobeactive]

thanks LAI'll doit

[@tzoulik3607]

Tried it yesterday and my stomach feels kinda sore today, didn't expect that but I'm doing it again right now

[@daretobeactive]

A lot of arm workouts also target the core!

[@MegaFrenzyman]

Hello LA, I love what you set up to do regarding providing proper form cues. But this exercise puts a lot of pressure on my wrists... My shoulders, arms and back do not have much strength so this really hurts...

[@MegaJacko4]

With the crab dip, I know your saying don't lean into your shoulders but unfortunately I have a large bust and I'm pregnant 🤣 So I dont have enough strength to properly push myself against the floor with such a tiny muscle. Do you have any modifications for the crab dip so its a little easier

[@WolstenMystery]

Hi, thanks for this video! I have a question though, do you have any advice for people whose wrists hurt a lot when doing those exercises? It's literaly killing my right one so I don't manage to do the mouvements correctly... Thanks!

[@daretobeactive]

check out my IGTV page! The last video I posted is on wrist pain during exercises :)

[@nanithefuck7378]

hi la! so i’ve been doing all of your exercises, including the core ones, but i can’t engage my core. i’ve looked up some videos about it but i still have difficulty engaging my core, even with the modifications. my lower back always hurt, do you have any tricks or maybe do a video on how to properly engage your core? thank you!

[@daretobeactive]

check out the latest video I posted! it sounds like you need to work on engaging your deepest core muscles and I go over how to do that in the video

[@bronicksm]

my wrist starts to hurt whenever i try to do a full side plank from arms rather than elbow. am i placing it on the ground incorrectly? but thanks for the vid. really helpful to get my posture and form right.

[@definitelynotcla]

thank you for uploading this so its kind of a complete work out i can follow from you! ps : when i did this, i dont know which part i did wrong but after doing all the routine i feel like my wrists are kind of hurt??

[@daretobeactive]

try rolling up a small towel and placing it under your palms so that your wrist dont bend as much! That usually helps to take some pressure off those joints

[@marlenegonzalez4133]

Hello! I started doing yoga and your exercise a few weeks ago and I have a question, its normal to have a lot of pain in the wrists? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? 😅

[@oliviarobbins6706]

Marlene González i have this same problem and am wondering myself what i am doing wrong!

I don't watch your videos myself. sorry for that but think it's really cool that you do this for others .. have a nice day...say hello to grant gustin if you want for me⚡⚡⚡

[@dominiquedismuke620]

Hello LA. I am having a hard time doing these exercises because I have pain in both of my wrists. Any recommendations or videos for wrist pain or wrist strengthening?

[@annevanhelteren283]

You could do the excersises on your knuckles, so your wrists are straight. Or maybe use a dumbell :)

[@dominiquedismuke620]

@@annevanhelteren283 I will try that thanks!

[@csantana7754]

My shoulder popped a year ago at work. I still have a problem with it a year later. It has never been "diagnosed" properly. Would upper body exercises, like these, help?

[@daretobeactive]

without knowing exactly what happened, shoulder stability exercises like anything in plank or side plank position are great for you to do, along with the exercises in this video

[@saronricker2095]

Am I doing it wrong if the planks and push-ups are hurting my wrists?

[@worstnameever2618]

Is it normal that the wrists hurt the first time doing this workout ?
