Cardio & Core for Women Over 40 [NO EQUIPMENT]

[@Melissa-he3lo]

I’ve been with you a little over two years and I LOVE the fact that you talk during the workouts! I recommend you every chance I get and I tell people that you provide modifications for virtually every exercise and that you are funny in addition to being certified and knowing exactly what you are doing! PJ, you are absolutely the best! ❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are the best Melissa! 🥰 I really appreciate your support 🙏

[@Bonnie_Zink]

@@FitnesswithPJ What she said! Keep talking. Keep me laughing. Continue to challenge!

[@ellencolangelo2200]

I love to hear you chat. I talk about you all the time to my friends. They think you’re my BFF. Some of them (most 60+) looked you up and tried a workout. They want to come to my house for me to demonstrate. No way! I look uncoordinated. Last night I saw a report of a 94 year old who does decathlons. I’m 79 and couldn’t do pole vaults trying to escape a prison wall. She was born on a farm. I was born in the Bronx. Maybe that’s why.

[@jjhansonut]

I loved this workout! Don’t EVER stop talking,that’s what gets me through the workout !

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad you loved it! 😍 Thank you 🙏 💬

[@nicolestarkoniski5674]

Yeah I love you talking!

[@rebeccacass5555]

I love when you do the high five at the end. Makes me feel like I’m right there with you and we accomplished another great workout. Thx PJ your the best.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love that! I'm with you all the way 🥰

[@margaretflynn1288]

About 11 months ago I posted a comment after I had finished this workout. I said it was challenging and that I struggled with it but powered through. Today’s comment: It was fun! It’s still challenging, and it will continue to be a challenge, but I’m feeling stronger than I felt a year ago, and that’s exciting! ( especially at age 74) Thank goodness I showed up! Many thanks to you, PJ!❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

That is the best Margaret! You absolutely rock 🤩

[@dianemirich5556]

thanks for the heads up about the skipped jumping jacks, I was able to add them. Great workout!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh I like your thinking Diane! 🙌

[@FM-xk7yv]

I’m here BECAUSE of the talking! I get bored without the chatter and it reminds me of the fun group exercise I used to do before the pandemic killed those classes. Thanks PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@alsci2489]

I just did the 45 secs of jumping jacks 😉😘 great workout PJ x

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job! 👏

[@alicestella]

I guess there are people who don’t want talking or cues during a workout, but I’m definitely not one of them. I tried a popular app where each workout was just a combo of specific exercises in a list, and while each one had a video to demonstrate the move, it certainly interrupted the whole flow of things. I couldn’t even get through one workout like this, and realized I need the coaching and motivation, which is clearly what you provide! Keep on talking!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I hear you Alice! 🥰 If you haven't already, we'd LOVE to see you supporting this channel at Patreon OR taking advantage of the 14 day trial of our Over Fifty Fitness app! You'll get all the workouts you love plus workout calendars, recipes, challenges, community and more! Links in the video description 💕

[@jing.ocampo]

Way to kick off the week! I almost skipped the EMOM part, but glad I didn't 😅 Even on those days when my energy is mostly sapped (like today), you and everyone in the community motivate me to put on my runners, roll out my mat (and bring out my weights for strength days) and click on the video 🥰😊 I love reading the comments, and the blooper reels are the best! Big high fives to everyone! 😘💗

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful Jing! So glad you are loving the community and the workouts 🥰

[@fayemcdonnell7288]

Been about 3 months since I last did this session, and I remember last time, I really struggled with the lateral Kick outs! Still found them challenging but nailed them this time round! It’s so cool when you revisit a session and see progress! I am walking, talking, living proof! Stick with PJ and she will get you there 💪❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

The BEST Faye! You are smashing it 🙌

[@venessapowell155]

I love that you talk. I would be so bored if you weren’t talking. Love you PJ. I’m grateful I found you 7 years ago 💝

[@FitnesswithPJ]

7 years! How times flies! You rock Venessa 💖

[@sbakes1577]

What an awesome and fun workout! Aside from the super effective workouts, PJ’s chatter is what keeps me coming back. PJ keeps it entertaining (I appreciate the humor and occasional swear word!), she instructs us so we get the most bang out of the workouts, and she encourages us to finish strong. It’s hard to get motivated to work out with mimes as instructors. Seriously, what fun is that?

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You know it! Thank you sooo much 🙏 🥰

[@margaretflynn1288]

Perfect workout to start my week off with a bang❗️I even did the lateral kick-through, wobbly on my skinny arms, but so cool to do that move. I like that one. I appreciate your words of encouragement. I know you were talking directly to me! 🙌 Thanks, PJ!❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woo! Go Margaret 💪

[@marlavandyk1127]

Love the no equipment workouts available when I travel for work!! Thanks PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh yes! 🙌

[@kathywright7803]

Just got back from 17 days of vacation in Europe and this is my 4th workout since returning! Killer!!! Made me realize how a few weeks off makes a difference - we did a lot of walking but nothing intense like this one! Thanks PJ!! Hope you had a great time in Italy! Your pics were gorgeous!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Welcome back Kathy! I'm sure your trip was amazing and, yes, I loved Italy 🙏 🇮🇹 💕

[@rebeccacass5555]

Heart rate was def up! Bear crawls, sprawls, etc we’re killers. Loved the workout. Thx PJ Always love those bloopers.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So good Rebecca! You go girl 😃

[@speak890]

Just done this workout and I'm convinced I've done enough work for 14 days!!! Loved it

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it! Go you 🥰

[@reroboberts]

I LOVE the talking!!! It’s what gets me through the workouts most of the time!😂

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Sooooo glad Rebecca! 😃

[@caroloot8402]

Keep talking PJ! You take my mind off the pain 😜 entertaining me but most importantly you are full of information! 🩷 Love your workouts!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Glad it helps 🤣 Appreciate this!

[@tinale8297]

I appreciate your Mimi me pop ups as I find them easier and more appropriate for me with osteoporosis.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad it's helpful for you 💕

[@genxandi]

I love it when you chat about stuff, whether it's about the workout, LH, the puppers, or just random stuff. To the person who says that you "talk too much", let me quote Jean Hagen as Lena Lamont from the movie Singin' In the Rain, "Of COURSE we talk, don't everybody?" Looking forward to the next time I workout with one of your You Tube videos 😁❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you Andrea! 🤗 See you next time 😃

[@lisachoudhrie3512]

That was tough PJ.. So tough.. Worth it.. First circuit you left out exercise#3 for round 3..sweaty and struggling.. Thanks for creating these routines.. Good for the body and the mind.. God bless good night PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You're so welcome! Thank you Lisa Xx

[@mariadamato9740]

It’s so good to be back working out with you and the Patreon community. Love the new moves and it was really challenging. Thanks PJ 😁

[@jeanetteweiler3448]

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you Jeanette! Crazy is a requirement! 😂 ✋

[@juliemartin8628]

I love that you talk!! I couldn't do it without your motivation. In fact, sometimes when you don't say anything for a few seconds I think "Where did she go? are we done? can I stop now? LOL!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! Love it! 😍

[@rimastein8587]

Thanks for this workout PJ, its a good start to my week....and thank God you talk during the workout. Its a lot more useful than deafening music.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great stuff Rima! 🙏

[@emmaingalle5752]

I haven't been so sweaty for a long time!! I love how pj talks you through making sure you keep straight extra! And love the stretches they are simple but super effective🤩

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! Don't think I could stop! 😉

[@jburwinkel]

Wow!! I'm so glad this one is finished! Extremely difficult for me today! I powered through, because that's what I do!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great stuff Julie! But remember to rest/recover when you need it! 💕

[@michelleelizabeth299]

Wow PJ, your workouts just keep getting better! This was awesome! I'm truly amazed at how well I was able to do that bear kick through- that move has been my nemesis for years! Working out with you on a regular basis has gotten me so much stronger and has improved every aspect of my fitness (not to mention all the healthy laughter I get in during your workouts LOL)! Thank you PJ!

[@latricedbyrd1]

Oh boy Ms. PJ. This is another great one! 👍🏽💦💨 Thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

How fierce and wonderful! Thank you 😊 🙏

[@colleengirl1]

Just finished and I'm so sweaty. That's great!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Carolyn! 🔥

[@tinale8297]

Your taking is just right. I need your talk to get back in the right form from time to time as I can get out of the correct form

[@FitnesswithPJ]

That's what I'm here for! Thanks so much 🙏

[@mariletz]

Yyyeahhh! Feeling self-righteous (& sweaty) after that one. Thank you Pj from one of you Patreon peeps & LH in Oregon 🌲🇺🇸✨🫶🏽✨

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh yeah Marilet! 💪 😅

[@jeanetteweiler3448]

[@LK-rb8kp]

Loved the workout! and keep talking and instructing! I highly recommend you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I really appreciate your support 😃

[@jburwinkel]

Brutal workout to start my crazy week! I did notice you robbed me of my last set of jumping jacks on the first set. Too bad, because they were the easiest of that particular set! Challenging as usual!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Sorry about that Julie! (sort of 😂)

[@janetwoodall8356]

oooh.....that was a tough one for me! Thanks for talking me through it. I so appreciate you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are so welcome! Go you!! 🙌

[@kathymcq09]

Please keep talking during the workouts! Your tips to improve my performance of the exercises are very helpful! Also - even though I am a musician, I am sooooooo glad that you don't have music! I often find that background music makes it difficult to hear the content. Thanks for helping me start my day!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome Kathy! Thank you 🙏

[@jburwinkel]

Love this one! I was somewhat wimpy because I'm recovering from covid, but I was able to do what I could!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Take care Julie! 😃

[@vairintolley8859]

didnt have much time today, this was perfect!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Getting it DONE ✅

[@happylemons8449]

LOL...Looking forward to perfecting my "break dance" move (lateral kicks). Forget the music: need the Spot on cues and AWESOME motivational pep chats. Have an amazing week!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

We'll be ready for the next dance circle! 🕺 🥰

[@ccnehrenberg1]

Best workout (for me!) of all I've seen in this almost 3 years! Woot! (And, I also love the talking!! Makes me feel like I have a workout buddy.)

[@yvetteneisser8650]

Whew! I did the low-impact EMOM. It wasn't that bad!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way to go Yvette! 😃

[@margaretflynn1288]

This was great. I’m glad I stuck it out, but after reading the comments, I am wondering if I’m the only one who struggled with this workout? 🤔 These were challenging moves for me, but having done your fit and fierce challenge, I could tell that my legs are stronger, which helped me a lot today…I’m a work in progress! 😊 Thanks for all the encouragement, PJ! 🙌 ❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yes - there are some challenging drills here and we need to challenge ourselves at times! .... and ... you DID IT! 🙌

[@linaminnitiful]

Margaret, I also had a bit of a struggle, specifically with the bear-related moves. Once I figured them out, I did them...sort of, lol! I love working out with this gal!

[@robynfenson8873]

your talking is very motivating!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Glad you think so Robyn! 🥰

[@sarinalam4907]

Awesome workout! The bear crawl/hold are way too hard on my knees. Even the mods. Gotta find an alternative. I loved the EMOM finisher! You had an extra timer because you forgot j jack on the first circuit, round 3. I paused you and did it!!! 💪🏽

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh yeah 🙌 So glad you loved it!

[@duetwithalli3960]

Hmm … I feel like you left out a round of the second set of exercises. But I’m not complaining. I hate the bear crawls and sprawls and anything else bear! But I love that you talk during workouts! That is what keeps me coming back every day when I’m not feeling the workout love.
