FULL BODY CARDIO & WEIGHT LIFTING | RUNNING, CYCLING, CROSSFIT | FRUGAL FIT MOM

[@farm-ish2708]

I have a ton of health issues. Started watching your channel a few months ago. I bought a peloton bike and started working out only a couple times a week but Im down 10 pounds already and I feel so much stronger. You have had an amazing impact on my life. Thanks for being awesome!

[@jaimeshore9989]

How do you like the Peloton bike? I ❤️ your comment and am so proud of you!

[@LindaLoquita]

I love these videos. I love all things sports and fitness but have a hard time sticking to it. It is great to know you've been through it all and you are sharing the stories Your encouraging words and actions speaks volumes. Keep those videos coming.

[@thewadsquad]

You are so motivating!! I loved this style of video.. but I need more. lol Love all of the tips and tricks you shared!

[@FrugalFitMom]

I see that you are working out a bunch right now, I love those Les Mills classes!

[@gloomeh9048]

Right now my favorite exercises have been at home videos on KZbin. I used to love deadlifting though! It's hard to stay motivated to get back into the swing of things so I love videos like these!

[@amandavogelsong1018]

Snatching is my absolute favorite! Started with CrossFit and transitioned to Olympic weightlifting. Love seeing other fit moms killing it with their strength!

[@amyhall7]

My husband and I are doing a Beachbody program right now but I’m missing my runs! I did 1 mile or more a day in 2021 and just got burned out so I’ve taken time off but it clears my mind and calms me so much! You are so encouraging! Thank you for your videos!!

[@dianehayes6261]

I will be 60 in August and was treated for cancer this past year. Had a stem cell transplant in July so I am just now getting back into exercise. I have been riding and indoor bike, walking and yoga daily. I miss my body from my 30’s and 40’s. I worked it hard and it is showing it!

[@laneyjackson7880]

I've been working on starting to exercise as part of my weight loss process. Cycling is definitely something that I love. I've never been able to stick to any form of exercise, but cycling is one that I've stuck to for a month so far. I've lost ten pounds so far using that and calorie counting. So proud of myself. 😊😊❤❤ Edit: I've been using the Peloton app and a non-Peloton indoor cycling bike.

[@FrugalFitMom]

That's amazing!

[@laneyjackson7880]

Thank you for responding. I love your channel and I'm loving the Fitness Friday videos. Watching them is an inspiration and encouragement for me. Sometimes I seriously tell myself I want to be like Frugal Fit Mom when I grow up. 😆

[@catherinebugden]

That’s awesome! Keep it up 😍

[@jennfersiler]

Love your channel, especially now with fitness Friday's. I lift weights 3 days a week, yoga 4 days a week and run or row 3 days a week. Love every minute of it.

[@AThinnerDebtFreeLife]

I jumped in the Premier late, but I wanted to throw in a comment about how motivating and inspiring you and your family's journey towards a better life is for me. I've been on both a debt free journey and a weight loss journey for a few years now and I'm just so grateful for the content you've been producing on both your channels. Thanks Christine! Oh and by the way, in my "full time" IT hustle, I pass by "Uncle Tony's" manufacturing plant in Opelousas a few times a month and also have several runs though Hammond on a regular basis. Best to you and your family from Schriever Louisiana!

[@sarafladeland102]

I have been a lifetime runner and cross fitter till I ruptured a disk in my back while dead lifting in 2019. It was a devastating injury and resulted in back surgery in 2019. It took soooooo long to recover and the hardest part was the mental/emotional loss I felt from not being able to do what I used to do. It took 2 solid years of going slooooowwww. I made a goal in 2020 to run Ragnar AZ Trail in 2021. It took me a long time to train and I had to go slow but I ran that race the best I've EVER run a Ragnar!! It was the ultimate comeback. Thank you for encouraging those with injuries that yes you can overcome them. It takes time, ALOT of patience of your mind and body but you can achieve it!!

[@gabbylarge1103]

THE PELATON IS MY NEWEST OBSESSION!!! I started taking spin classes a year ago, for once a week. I started going twice a week about 3 months ago, love the way it makes me feel, love the classes, but after your peloton video and my indecisiveness the past few months I decided to invest in myself. I’m saving an hour round trip twice a week, and the cost of the class/missing a class was almost double what I pay for the bike and program. AND I have been working out much more since it’s convenient, accessible and more comfortable!!

[@sarahnader3146]

I love any strength days. Legs, arms, back, etc. Really like this type of video... You're so motivating. I appreciate this so much. 😁

[@CH-yk1op]

I would love a video or several about tips for moms who have kids in competitive sports. We are entering this world & I’m lost. Scheduling, driving, tips on where to spend money/where not to, how to cheer/how not to cheer (what’s most helpful & respectful for all), what boundaries to set around family time/church activities, etc. “How to support kids/teens in sports without letting them take over your life” is what I need!

[@MelissaCapriotti]

I love the emphasis on how lifting weights will make you a better runner, swimmer, biker, Zumba goer…it’s so true! Being strong is beneficial to so many aspects of health! 💪🏻

[@donettemorgan4703]

My favorite exercise is watching you! 🤣 I used to be so good at walking… I even did a couch-5K about five years ago. Thanks for inspiring us!!!

[@robinmcmillin4132]

I have been overweight for what feels like my whole life. Over the past year my youngest nephew has been helping me with workout routines &, even though it’s been slow, I have lost 22 pounds and several inches. I’m so much happier now but still have a long way to go. I’m surprised at how much I like the bikes and the weight machines at the gym. I always feel so good after. Thanks for sharing your workouts and accomplishments!

[@pinkheartz97]

Yoga has been my go to for many years. I go to yin classes near my house after work a couple times a week. I love the environment and relaxation elements of it 🙂

[@familychannel3592]

Loving your fitness videos! I was an athlete prior to children then totally got out of it. These videos are helping to inspire me. I love trail running. Definitely something I want to get back into.

[@user-ex7dt5pr6l]

I love LOVE weight training! My all time favorite workout. My second is spinning. I used to spin at my local gym until SURPRISE! They closed all of a sudden. I can’t afford a spin bike, but I really would love a peloton! That’s my dream bike! ❤️

[@sueperez21]

Love this video and all your tips. I was a high school and college athlete, but a broken leg and ankle set me back over a year. Started to work out again, once I was able to walk, post Physical Therapy. Then cancer hit me 2 years ago. After surgery, radiation and treatments, my body is weak, a lot of weight gain and drained of energy. I'm now trying to get back in shape. I love to walk, ride and lift weights. Starting slow, but moving my way up to get stronger every day.

[@MrsKellyintheMiddle]

I am LOVING the HIIT class I've started going to at the gym. The teacher of the class is Swoll and much older than me and SUPER inspiring! I've also been working a LOT on my abs because of all the separation I went through after having my 2nd. Wah wah. Stinking DR!

[@dkdanaher4529]

I love the rowing machine. Over the last year I have rowed 3-4 times a week and it has dramatically improved my chronically tight hamstrings.

[@kaesiluck2956]

Christine! Yes please more fitness videos, your tips are saving me (both physically and monetarily)! My favorite exercise is -- unfortunately -- running, but Peloton is a close second!

[@tanyajohnston8262]

I am 60 years old and more active now than I was before 40. Since about 45 I've wanted to be active. I walk everyday a few times with my dogs and I do bootcamp everyday. I have a stationary bike that I want to get started on and I am thinking about a treadmill. I live in Ontario Canada so lots of snow and ice right now so can't run outside. I have ran before but did not get past 5 Kl and was slow. I want to do better. I also like to rock climb and we have a small gym close by so I plan to rock climb and use their weight area to build more muscle. I love your videos. You are inspiring.

[@angelahawkins8069]

Thank you for sharing how you exercise, and being an inspiration to all of us trying to get healthier in our lives!

[@sarahmiller901]

I love doing yoga. I am working with a trainer and she helps we with my binge eating disorder too. I have seen such a difference since working with her.

[@molliesmith2282]

I love your grandma exercise/workout videos. I’m getting back into working out and you have helpful advice

[@shannonford1774]

Hey Christine! Lately my favorite exercises are weight lifting or taking a walk. Such a great way to clear your mind!

[@rubyredeemed]

My favorite thing is spin classes. I love the Les Mills Sprint classes.

[@Pennyjoyce69]

I love you channels ! I am not consistent with exercising I go through phases where I exercised consistently for several months & then stop for several. I love walking & workout videos I do at home. Exercising makes a world of difference in how I feel I just have got to get in a mind frame to do it at least several times a week.

[@lynnbrannan4578]

Thank you for this! I used to be a huge runner, triathlete, and crossfitter. I ended up with a terrible knee injury and gained some weight trying to get back into my exercise so with depression it is hard..

[@deedbrown]

My favorite exercises are upper body. I think women tend to shy away from working upper body and lifting bc they think it will make them bulky but I really feel like it helps to shape us. Love your videos.

[@mistyjade914]

Started my weight loss journey in November. 60lbs gone forever so far. Swimming is my favorite exercise right now keeping the impact lower while I get into better shape to move on to the harder stuff. These videos are so inspiring! Thank you for all of your great content

[@lynnm2801]

You are very inspirational! Yes, please do more of these videos!!! Also like “Day in the Life” videos of what a typical day looks like for you.

[@VasquezRose81_99]

I love yoga, yin yoga and CrossFit. I have been doing both for 2 years. Love doing these two it’s a good balance.

[@kimeverhart6253]

Hi Christine! Right now, walking and yoga are my favorite forms of exercise!

[@pacempire5046]

So motivating! Right now doing dance workouts on KZbin with my daughter is our go to for fun exercising!

[@sarahhowarth3404]

I have gone back to sprint training after 20 years. I forgot how much I love to run. I have done almost every other type of workout over the years, but running is my happy place.

[@lindsay8513]

CrossFit is my favorite type of workout, and triathlon training along with it is even better!

[@viveviveka2651]

Cardio seems to be the most beneficial type of exercise. It is the one form of exercise that has been shown to increase lifespan significantly. It makes sense, since cardiovascular failures are the #1 cause of death, and cardio helps keep the heart and cardiovascular system fit, healthy, and strong. High-level cardiovascular fitness makes great sense.

[@belaybetty]

I really liked this video since fitness is part of your life and I get learn more about you this way. My gym has closed so some of the instructors started a zoom group to keep all of their girls fit! So, P90X and HIIT a few times per week, daily yoga, and brisk 5 mile walks on the weekend mornings. Gotta keep this 62 year old body moving! Thanks for all of your content. I look forward to all of it😍

[@melissapallex16]

Swimming is always my favorite, but I live in the cold white north of Wisconsin and most pools this time of year have very little open swim/lap swim time available due to students swimming for gym class or swim teams practicing. But when the weather warms up and we open up our pool again for the year, that's where you'll find me most of the time! I also enjoy yoga, bodyweight/weight lifting and cycling.

[@teamfriedmann8876]

Thank you so much for the reminder/encouragement to trust your body and let it heal. Im a cyclist, runner and former martial artist. I’m on my second knee surgery for meniscus tears - first one was a root tear. My nemesis is patience. I’ve been wanting to do a triathlon for years but the ol bod is mounting an objection. I’ll get there. Awesome channel and love your cooking!

[@BlackIceDragonSalome]

I'm only starting with my running season prep. Step 1 includes: Losing the 5 kg extra weight I got through being injured. My plan does include running (ofc!), strength training (although I'm starting on the machines and with the smith machine) and biking (my gym now has a bike really similiar to the peloton, which I'm excited to try!). I really love your routine, which is somewhat similiar to mine only more advanced :) Wish you all the fun in triathlon prep!

[@chelsea2045]

Cycling, swimming and climbing are my favorites!

[@SharanyaRamesh101]

Those are some IMPRESSIVE squats! I aspire to that sort of mobility, working on leg strength after an old injury flared up recently. I always try new things but I've found that i keep going back to the basic functional movements because they are so underrated but so effective! I hope your knee is feeling a little better now!

[@leahvance6118]

My favorite exercise is group fitness classes, particularly Upbeat Barre, High Fitness, cardio dance, and Les Mills body pump.

[@tabithaerickson5767]

I am there with you of being very sick while pregnant. I ate very plain food too, mainly toast. Walking to the bathroom was about it. 🤷‍♀️ I’ve lost 40 lbs since June of 2021. The only exercise I’ve done and my favorite was walking and a little bit of Cosmic Kids Yoga. It was great and gets my toddlers involved. I’ve it a weight-loss plateau so I’ve added in strength training and cardio at home with minimal equipment.

[@anitachildress5676]

Fitness Fridays are very inspirational. I need to get back to doing more exercise. My favorite has always been just a good long outdoor walk.

[@viktoriavoller4674]

Going on a bike in the nature in the early morning,that is so calming, the smell, the feel especially if it is around some type of water.

[@sdawson33]

I got a MYX bike almost a year ago. Love cycling and the other classes on the tablet.

[@amandaorawiec5596]

I have been doing sprints and just trying to get up and move more. I have struggled getting back in the gym after having my daughter and covid hitting all at once. Slow and steady just glad to finally be doing something again.

[@lisaberg9241]

Loving Fitness Friday's! My fave exercise(s) right now is all the training I am doing for my first triathlon this fall - I've always been a runner, learning how to swim properly, but I have to say I'm really digging the cycling.

[@melodiemoore2076]

I used to run but I haven't been able to since plantar fascitis. I got back to 4.5 miles and it started again. This spring I'm going to try building at a slower pace and see if I can get back to training for a half marathon. Since Corona, I've been doing Body Project workouts on KZbin and their online site. They have a good combination of weights and Cardio workouts.

[@viveviveka2651]

Glad to see you covering exercise. Hope you do more. Jack LaLanne said many times that exercise and diet are the keys to good health. Both are important, but exercise is #1, diet a close second.

[@clittle1807]

Love this video... I am a very very very slow beginner to any exercise.. I had a change of career and need more exercise in my life.. these videos help motivate me and watching you someone I'm used too helps more. ... thanks for sharing

[@ReadAndThrift]

I have been loving yoga lately. I can’t handle HIIT workouts and haven’t felt like being in a gym lately (also had Covid for the last 2 1/2 weeks) so yoga has been my go to

[@Cool_us3rhere]

I love sh'bam dance workouts and body combat classes. They are some of the only ones that I actually enjoy!

[@aimeeburch8329]

I love working out with weights. I do it from home with hand weights. I love it.

[@erintaylor5693]

My favorite is kickboxing! I miss it since Sharonas arrival :-) thank you for the inspo!!!!!

[@amandag.644]

Hi. Love your videos. The fitness videos are motivating me to get back to strength training. Favorite was jogging and weight training. Love dead lifts!

[@Janice54]

Right now...I'm loving BodyCombat...BOOYAH!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE VIDS!!!

[@ladyema8836]

Just a quick note, I've had my Proform treadmill for over 10 years and still loving it. Countless miles on that thing. It survived a move. I don't keep it in the garage, I keep it inside so it stays free of the outside debris.

[@faithbauer7806]

My favorite workout is weightlifting and a new found love for running! Thank you for always being inspiring!

[@angeliquehutton5230]

I love Zumba the most, but I also enjoy good weight training sessions. Love your videos and have learned so much from your shopping habits.

[@judymc4213]

I'm 66, I had bariatric surgery, [sleeve gastrectomy] 8 months ago. My personal challenge is to exercise every day in February. Thanks for keeping me motivated! A triathlon is my goal.

[@karenkemp5543]

20 miles today for my marathon training. I didn’t die but it was hard. Next race in March is a half then 10 days later my first full marathon. Duathlon in April so may have to get on trainer because the weather doesn’t cooperate. Do I have to have a favorite exercise? Walking, running and biking. I love them all. So glad I found your channel. Hugs from Louisiana.

[@mariamacdonald56]

Hi Christine! I’m Maria from Halifax, NS, Canada. Love your fitness videos! My favourite exercise is dragon boat and outrigger canoe paddling! Being on the water is my happy place. Thanks for the inspiration and all of your wise advice in your videos. Best of luck with your training! I’ll be watching! ❤️💪🏼

[@ElaineAMalec]

I've been a runner for years and find it hard to go into a gym and do the strength training. But it makes running so much better, you have to do it.

[@TaylerGarzarek]

My favorite exercise is walking. I’m currently 3 weeks postpartum and walking has been so great to get out of the house and get some fresh air while moving my body in a light way.

[@macantakai]

I can't exercise beyond walking sometimes for health reasons. But I love living vicariously through these videos and find them motivating for my own goals 😊

[@StacieShaw]

My favorite exercise is walking. A close second is weight training! Inspiring and motivating video.

[@rallmond937]

Love love love these fitness Fridays!!!

[@abbymoeller8389]

Strength training is my absolute favorite form of exercise! I've never loved any other type of exercise as much. If I had to choose a second favorite, I'd say hiking. 😍 This was a fun video to watch!

[@elainepoole7660]

My favorite is exercise is swimming. I am saving up for a swim spa. It is the one exercises that helps with my arthritis and yoga would be my second.

[@tonyamiller3336]

I love videos like this! My favorite workout is running. I am working back into it after a series of illnesses that had me sidelined. I feel my best when I am able to just run in the zone. I use iFIT on my NordicTrack treadmill and love it! I also have PF and have to mind it all the time; it is so painful I try to avoid it at all costs!

[@angelinagutierrez909]

My favorite exercise at the moment is hiking with major incline & decline. While on the hike, I like to lounge or do a side-step up hill & do a squat/ walk down hill. Thanks for this video & showing that even you who is in excellent condition has to convince yourself to exercise & stay motivated.

[@stephanietiller4031]

You are so inspirational! I just ordered a treadmill for myself and plan on starting the couch to 5k program once it arrives thanks to your video last week. I justified my purchase as "It is cheaper than a 1 year gym membership, and I don't have to drive 30 minutes to get to the gym." FYI - I don't live in a city/neighborhood and running outside at my house is unsafe due to the wild life around me.

[@kellyrothweiler341]

I use to have a treadmill at home. I miss it on these cold days. I love doing my workouts at home. You Tube comes in handy.

[@rachelemarie741]

My favorite exercise is spin cycle at home with my echelon bike and peloton app! I also loved walking outdoors when it isn’t 🥶. And strength training too!

[@sherryvalentino6180]

Ive been loving yoga lately. It really helps loosen things up. Ive been feeling super stiff lately.

[@micheleolson9914]

Inspirational video. I'm dealing with permanent spinal cord damage/neuropathy (and grief). Sports and workouts that I did while younger (and I was a Beast!) are out or off my list due to balance issues and I randomly dropping things, and those team sports aren't very practical for most adults. I loved weight training, but dropping weights or kettle bells is scary, so I'm starting slow with other things. A balance ball, squats, basic isometric exercises and walking for now (a challenge with snow and ice in Minnesota). Also, adding mini sets while I wait for things to cook or any extra minute or two of movement is better than nothing. Keep the great content coming. 💜

[@mdheartsuju]

Thank you for answering the questions Christine ❤️

[@Lilly-mc3yo]

My favorite workout equipment is a rowing machine. I used the concept2 rower at my community fitness center and knew I needed one for at home. It’s awesome. I also like using light weights and doing core exercises. Your exercise videos are inspirational and help motivate me just to keep moving no matter what the exercise. Thank you 😊

[@anastasiab5980]

I like running and yoga!!!thanks for all your work!!!!

[@sharonslocum8000]

Hi Christine. Love your videos. I'm very inspired that you do Crossfit. My son is a Crossfit coach in Fla. He's always telling me I need to start it. I'm 57. I went to visit him last year and took one of his classes...I couldn't walk for a week...lol. I'm fairly active. Biking is my favorite. During COVID lockdown, I did a couch to 5K program. I have the same feeling of running as you talked about in your one video. I didnt continue, but I may go back to it. I also have a Tonal that I work out on about 3 days a week. I love fitness and always have but I feel my body breaking down in old age. 😁.

[@kimboehler3819]

Great video! Love to hear about your training and struggle with injuries. It so hard sometimes to be patient and let your body heal.

[@amberdickinson4524]

I totally agree with the weight and cardio both so important!

[@eileendalton8962]

Love to watch you. My favourite thing was always aerobics but now I have arthritis and 67 years. Wish you could address fitness for older people.

[@morgansteva8322]

I love fitness Friday! You are an inspiration. I recently started running and joined a track club that meets on Sunday’s. I also enjoy cycling 🚴🏻‍♀️ I’m trying to be more consistent and build a routine.

[@jacquierivera3170]

My favorite exercise is trying to find the remote on the couch! Lol love your videos!! Thanks so much for all you do wishing you peace love and happiness always🌈❤️🌻💕🙏🏻

[@stephaniegraf3981]

Love that you are doing Fitness Fridays! I'm learning so much.

[@mooglies]

Loving fitness Friday! I love swimming but also love running, they are so therapeutic, they give me time to process my day.

[@amylowe8442]

Just starting to run again. Love the stress relief of it...

[@Brittles_88]

I am LOVING Fitness Fridays! I get so excited when I see these videos. My favorite workouts now that I’ve taken up tennis is plyo and sprinting. Also, really loving shoulder day in the gym!

[@annbrewer3640]

Love the fitness Fridays, if I had a pool close by swimming laps has always been a favorite.

[@laceyballiet6627]

Running for me is by far my favorite form of exercise. I can even run in our cold winters in PA with my new peloton tread.

[@kelseyflach6884]

My peloton purchase beginning of pandemic was the best purchase I’ve made 💕

[@Laura-on9ft]

I really enjoy dance workouts - the MADFIT ones here on KZbin are my favs! 😊
