Day 6 done in London! I’ve never done this kind of thing before and I’m pretty proud to have stuck with it for 6 days without cheating! Thanks PJ! From London (still sweating even though it’s winter here! (Can’t usually comment as use the tv but today used my phone !) looking forward to day 7… who even am I!!??😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! Welcome 🙏. You are amazing - that's who!

[@gwenryan58]

🎉 Lets just say Im looking forward to doing this one again, more gracefully🎉

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! You go Gwen! 🙌

[@EricaFlemmer]

I really enjoy your workouts esp this 21 day challenge! And I LOVE that you don't play music - thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay! Thank you Erica! 😃

[@ginaquinton9410]

Love it as always. I never thought I'd wake up and get excited to see what exercise I would be doing, but I'm honestly hooked on fitness with PJ. Also I never thought I would be up at 5am exercising but never say never. Can't wait until tomorrow.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

How awesome it this? You rock Gina! 🙌

[@veronicachandler3615]

Ditto! ❤

[@c.barnes6651]

Holy Cardio Batman!!! Definitely got the heart rate up...and the sweat pouring. Loved it! The hubby is still hanging in it with the challenge. We both struggled at first with a couple exercises...but got there. Off to recover now. Looking forward to tomorrow!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You you two! 🥳 🙌 🙌

[@janicemaloof556]

HOPE YOU DON'T GET MAD. I DID THIS ONE TODAY BECAUSE I HAD MORE TIME. TOMORROW I WILL DO THE STRETCH THAT'S FOR TODAY. THIS IS A GREAT WORKOUT! I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND I SWEAT BUCKETS. GOOD CHALLENGE. THANK YOU PJ!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Of course I won't get mad! You have to make things work for YOU 😃

[@ginaquinton9410]

I live in Florida also and the heat is a killer. Keep moving.

[@susanlumley5547]

We love Florida! My hubby is praying Miami makes it to the superbowl this year. They areniff to a good start! 🥰🇭🇲

[@dr.sherrispeaks]

Really needed that “This is awesome” in those last bear moves. Thank you. 🧡

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it! 😍

[@margaretflynn1288]

Hey! I broke a sweat today! 😅 It’s humid on Cape Cod, MA. No AC in my house. This was a challenge for me, but I’m so much the better for sticking with it. I kept up a decent pace, and I think that’s an indication of improved endurance and an increase in strength. Thanks, PJ! ❤️

[@FitnesswithPJ]

This is awesome Margaret! 🙌

[@annawilkins7912]

Aloha PJ ❤️ ! From Hau'ula Hawaii! You are awesome 👌 I'm grateful for your time, motivation, spirit...it's beautiful. I'm 62 young and very grateful I'm able to do what do. Thank you for the awesome motivation

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Aloha Anna! Way to go! 🙌

[@carolperiard1293]

so nice to be doing your 21 day work out, wow talk about ab workout, I love your enthusiasm. nice to laugh while doing exercise. day 7 tomorrow

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks so much!! You are smashing it!! 🤩

[@Balletpro1]

AWESOME workout on a humid Sunday in NJ!!!!!! (FYI: love working out in the heat and humidity!)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it!! 🥵 🔥

[@charmaineroberts2]

Wow - I thought I wouldn’t make it after that first round; but not only did I finish, I didn’t have to modify. Tells me I’m improving - 👍🏽. At 67 and working out to undo the osteoporosis, I really appreciate your workouts, your humor and your generosity. These challenges are actually tougher than most of your other workouts in my opinion. By design? Thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great stuff Charmaine! Keep being amazing! 😃

[@Brenda-ff6oh]

As you stated in your “ bloopers”, “I am just so happy”! It felt great and did wonders for me. Every workout has been different from others, they feel elevated. You always deliver. Thanks

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Appreciate that Brenda! 🙌

[@joginski]

WOW! I was starting to think I may have to look for a more challenging work out option until I encountered Day 6. Heart rate up and sweat coming down. Thank you for what you do so well.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it - thank you! 😍 consistency is the key for sure!

[@vanrb8529]

Day 6 done, I cannot believe it, this is the most committed I have been to a workout in months

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way . to . go . Vanessa 🙌

[@PujaDada]

Could not wait to do today's workout. Day 6 done. Sweating and smiling!!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

The best 🥰

[@lynneprice420]

Loved this - totally got my sweat on! 'Move you're ass, we're almost there' I needed that in the middle! Thank you PJ :)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Lyn! 😃

[@julienelissen9482]

Hey PJ, this was a sweaty one again, love it!!! I already feel and see a change in my body so this motivates me lots and lots.. thank you so much for all the effort you put in these workouts 🙏

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful! Thank you Julie 🙏

[@Thrspm]

Still here! Day 6. Feeling stronger! I love that we can hear your breath during the workout. Makes me feel like I am not alone is almost dying!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way to go! 😃

[@mandylloyd6750]

This workout felt hard today, AND I made some modifications and got it DONE. First time I've done the switchbacks with the jumping motion. It's encouraging to know that the light impact is what helps us keep our bones strong.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way to go Mandy! 🙌

[@bethlohman1633]

I have loved every PJ workout this far. 25 day challenge and now on 21. This was the first time I felt there were not modifications for some moves that were hurting my knees. I also have to do modified for a foot injury and usually I still feel like I’m working as hard as she is, but there were so many jumps in this and having to modify so many of the power moves meant less of an intense workout.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I'm glad you are enjoying the workouts! Hopefully, you will start to be able to know 'your' modifications to be able to sub in whenever you need 😃 Take care of that foot while you fully recover

[@eveningstarbright]

I run regularly, so I do get quite a bit of cardio. Your work is awesome to mobilize my muscles in a different way than running does. I love it.❤❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay!! So glad you love it 😍 It's great to mix it up!

[@pattichenoweth572]

You crack me up PJ! I'm really loving "The Bloopers"!! The F&F Challenge is going great!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks Patty 🙏 Glad you're loving it/them 😃

[@Niki-81811]

Day 6✅ Feeling great. I did day 6 before I do day 5. Since I'm one day behind & monday is my rest day I decided to do your cardio then do day 5 stretch as an additional stretch/cool down. So now stretch time☺️☺️

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay! 😀 ✅

[@sarahroque7935]

Thank you PJ for putting this very challenging work out together for us. I totally enjoyed it even though I am pooped out right now and thanks to your energy I can push through them

[@FitnesswithPJ]

This is so great Sarah! 😃

[@lovoniacarson5098]

This was a sweaty, good one. Bear walks were very hard. However, I love all your cheerleading and modifications. Thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome work there Lovonia!

[@AnnaGibbs-b7g]

Fab workout, just started the 12 day challenge, really chuffed on day 6! Thank you from the UK

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay!! You got this Anna! 😀

[@marymccall9330]

Done! Good workout, challenging to say the least! Had to modify some of them, but stuck with it. Thanks! ❤️

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job! 👏 🙌

[@laracasebolt6725]

As always it was a great one! Good variety and it got the heart pumping. Thanks again PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way to go Lara! 😃

[@lorainemcgahee9471]

I'm late to the game, but this 21 day challenge is a bday gift to myself. I'll be 59 on 2/28. Love the variety of your workouts but mostly all the other stuff like: yuck to tofu, big heads, bad words, fresh air and get your ass moving!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! You sound like my kinda gal!! Welcome aboard this challenge Loraine 😃

[@vernheatherprice3894]

Oh my this was a good one. Cardio is not my favorite but I still did it. I also cursed you lots! But stayed! Thank you for all you do and keeping me healthy! Have a great day!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great stuff! 😍

[@dawnbrower9129]

Anything you mix with core is awesome…this one sure was!! Thank you 👍

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Glad you liked it Dawn! 😃

[@JenniferW-o8v]

Almost didn’t do it and searched for something similar and low back friendly. I decided to just try it snd I’m glad I did! Yay for alternative moves.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad you did it too! 😃

[@schwakhofer]

Brilliant! I'm doing the 21 every other day challenge:)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

GREAT!! 🙌

[@jenniferjones-molina9078]

The bloopers are so funny! I appreciate you so much and your openness to being human ;-) Got my butt in gear with the side hops and my favorite is the 1,2, lunge.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Sooo great Jennifer! 😃

[@kellypantaleoni5166]

What a heart pumping sweaty good time this was🎉 Thank you PJ😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome Kelly! 🥳

[@funnybunny1540]

Day 6 done! Great workout PJ 😃 I’m loving this 21 Day Challenge! Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woohoo! Great stuff! 😃

[@lisachoudhrie3512]

Thanks PJ so so tough and sweaty and horrible but great!! God bless you

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you! You too! 🤗

[@merrittgray1976]

That was great, as have all the workouts in this challenge. Definitely feeling it all over from the last week. I had to modify a few exercise in this as I have cartilage damage in my hips (I used to dance a lot as a younger person). Still, my heart rate was way up there! Thanks! Its nice to have someone who appreciates the quirks of those of us over 40!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Merritt! 🙌

[@rimastein8587]

Great cardio workout and as this wasn't enough punishment, followed it up with one of your ab workouts as well. Thanks PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are a glutton for punishment! 😃

[@klaurvick4501]

Round 3! Thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Go girl! 💪

[@chrisostojic4131]

Day 6 complete! That was a nice way to perk up my rainy Sunday!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

It's a little different having a scheduled cardio on a Sunday! Great job 👏

[@gloriawalker9718]

Thanks for another great workout!! I absolutely love the strength ones.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Glad you like them! 💪 🔥

[@andream6770]

Another great workout I’m so glad I did even though I didn’t feel like working out today! Thank you PJ! This 21 Challenge is great!1

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this! So glad you're loving it Andrea! 💪

[@nahitonahito55]

Super, PJ! I enjoyed and sweated a lot. Thanks a lot!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks Nahoko! 😃

[@dawnhamelin3741]

This was challenging not only physically but mentally. Had to think on this one!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Dawn 👏

[@myrealtor1429]

That was the hardest workout for me, PJ. Probably the reason I never liked core workout is because I suck at them, I look forward to day 7 of the 21 day challenge, still. Thank you,

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this! 🙌

[@MichelleSidhom-o5m]

I thought I was fit and strong but this challenge is taking my fitness and strength to a new level and I'm so delighted. Broke my plateau!! What is RDL

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad you're loving the workouts!! 🙌 RDL stands for Romanian Dead Lift!

[@beckytanner6350]

I’m a day late but I do yoga Sunday. Soooo this was the bomb!🔥🔥🔥🔥. Thank you. 😘

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay! Thank you! 🔥 🔥

[@emilycolby5629]

[@FitnesswithPJ]

In the bag! 🙌 ✅

[@georgiecameron4007]

Day 6 done ✔️ loved this sweaty little cardio workout pj 💪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Keep it up Georgie! 😃

[@jburwinkel]

Had some difficulty with this one. I was not very coordinated on some of the exercises, so I had to make adaptations. Fortunately, since you are so good at showing modifications, I was able to modify the modifications! :)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Excellent! 😆

[@melissawright4912]

Loved this w/o! I'm sweating like crazy! Lovong this 21 day challenge. So happy i found PJs workouts!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad to have you on board Melissa! 😃

[@fayemcdonnell7288]

Did 5 days in a row as have rest days Saturday and Sunday… legs feeling it a bit after yesterday 😂 the last round of jumping switch lunges I’m sure went on for 45 mins not seconds!!🤪😂 Brilliant session as always Pj and another fun one too! Thank you. I always dread cardio days, but was fun and always feel great sense of achievement finishing. 😊 have a super weekend !

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wow! That's a BIG effort Faye! 😃

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Christine! 🙌

[@patriciawhite6820]

The moves were good, and the variety was also good.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Glad you like it Patricia! 😃

[@donnalister1244]

PJ- it’s extremely hot & humid here too. Good thing I like pansies ( no- I don’t live in Toronto- but certainly in Ontario ). Lol 😆. Loved 🥰 this workout. Now- off to go kayaking. The river gives some relief to the heat. See you tomorrow morning. Donna 🇨🇦🎒❤️🍷

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I love Toronto peeps - you know it! 😆 💕

[@cabanawwyoming5617]

Day 6 and I'm still staying on track!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh yeah baby! You got this 🙌

[@vernheatherprice3894]

I wasn't feeling it today. Mostly because I prefer strength to cardio. The workout was amazing...I am just tired. I still did it but just a bit slower pace. Tomorrow is a new day!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job in listening to your body by taking it a bit slower! 🙌

[@normahazelwood1443]

Thank you pj found it a bit hard this morning had to do some of the easier one's xx

[@nalanalillie6876]

Please tell me my coordination will get better!😂 I’m not getting as many reps in because of I’m stumbling through some of the rounds but I’m still sweating and working. I hope I’ll be better at this soon! 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yes! Coordination will improve with practice! 😂 👏

[@sylviasmalley2450]

Good w/o.....had to make a couple of adjustments as my heart rate was too fast to lay down but it was fairly easy to do standing wall knee lifts etc

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job!

[@stiofaininnichlerigh8168]

My new favorite move BANANA after doing this for 3 rounds lol 😂 But this really challenge my balance especially on my bad ankle but need to be done and strengthen jumping side to side ......ouch Bit I do have to say and you said this I've learned from been with you quiet a while now I've learned what works and what I am most proud of is my abs are getting STRONGER. Great workout another brilliant one to travel with Cheer PJ LEGEND for all you do for us and because of you I am getting stronger 💪 Sweat sweat and more sweat 💦😅 Steph 🇮🇪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I bet they are getting stronger! Go Steph! Keep taking care of your recovering ankle 💗

[@lasonialamay6786]

Loved this cardio and abs w/o. Couldn't do alot of jumping bc I live in an upstairs apt. Did some modifications, nevertheless I got #6 done! Thanks PJ 💞

[@avrilquadros]

Love the comment about Toronto. My SIL is a prime example 😂

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it! 😊

[@judypray4311]

This should be called "KILLER cardio & core workout"

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😂 😉

[@dianemirich5556]

didn't think I was going to be able to do a squat jump and then follow it with a decent rdl.......but I did! Just back from the beach did the workouts there daily but no comments because I couldn't remember my youtube login.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woohoo Diane 🙌 - passwords & logins can be a nightmare! 😆

[@genxandi]

I was sweating through my shirt by the start of round 3, I hope that is a good thing, lol! For the record, I'm not really a fan of tofu either even though it's in some stuff I eat. I'm really doing my best to stay fit and healthy at 40+ and sometimes I feel like I'm failing miserably, but I try to keep at it.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

We do what we can (without eating tofu 😆). You got this Andrea 🥰

[@karenshahintajalli4886]

This really got that lower body moving!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Nice work there Karen 💗

[@susankaplan9948]

Tough, tough workout! I finished it though. Probably tough because I do a lot of squats at work. Thanks PJ!!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Go Susan! 🏋️‍♀️

You are so welcome! 🤗

[@karin7765]

#6 Used this weekend for long hikes( well about 14,5km) ..Power mountain climbs were hard for starters i couldn't get my foot anyway near my hand,lol and it was hard to move either leg forward in the first place so I ended somewhere in the middle 😊😊. I did the 'dead bug' and I believe it went better then last time.'2 switches to knee drive' ; Had challenges with the coordination and ballance here. 'Bear steps'; Doable though tough to 'hold on' 'Jump squats/ RDL( where does the 'R' stand for, Rotation?); again good for my coordination and cardio. . Thanks 😎😎!! The firts of the stretches with either knee bend against the wall to stretch the squad gave serious spasms in my ( hamstrings? those muscles on the backside of my thighs)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are rocking it Moira!! The RDL stands for Romanian Dead Lift and, yes, the hamstrings are on the backside of your thighs - also, ease off a stretch if you are experiencing shakes or spasms 💕

[@karin7765]

@@FitnesswithPJ Yes I simplified the exercise.. Thanx !

[@pattycraig7170]

What a fun sweat session! And I LOVE Stranger Things!!

Did this one first then day 5 ....love the combos too 👍🙂 I'll have 3 active recovery days next week so all good 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I was starting to wonder about that! 😃

[@gerstapleton4316]

Well, definitely Crap-Co-ordination Day in my 15ft x15ft part of the world today. Haven't sub'd that much in ages 😏 but 119 heart rate with my modifications 🙂 Definitely doing this one again to just kick lack of co-ordination in the a** 😀. Thx PJ. Enjoyed the laugh to keep me going. X

Go good! It's great to challenge the mind as well sometimes 🙌

[@donnamaclean8774]

Thanks so much..great workout. Just curious you mention fitness calendars...are they only for working out everyday? Do you have a calendar that is programmed for 4 days a week? I have only used KZbin so far but debating joining so I could have workout calendars as I find it a pain picking a workout every day. Doing fitness challenge but you are actually on Day 11 but I am on Day 6 :)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hey there! If you do the workouts on KZbin we would love your support on Patreon. It is only due to that community that we are able to keep the workouts going. If you join at the Community tier you will receive monthly workout calendars and it's up to you how many of the workouts each week you want to do. Thanks for your support!
