I started the 25 day challenge today and I loved it,( I did it modified for my shoulder surgery) Thank you 😊

[@harmony1211]

Hello and good morning PJ! Today I am starting with out with Day 1 intense 25 in 25 challenge. I am sweating and I must admit you are the only one here on YT where I actually feel my lazy glutes being activated all day long! I agree with you no music, and other yb with too much music and not cueing people how to do the workout properly! Bravo and congrats to 25 years being a trainer! I really enjoy your workouts! Thanks so much, I am looking forward to Day 2! Have an awesome day! BTW thanks for the modifications in the right top of the screen!

[@harmony1211]

Hello PJ! Day 25 complete! Yea! I remember when I started Day 1, I could not finish this whole workout. I did notice that I am not shaking anymore with any of the workouts. This time I tried some of the modifications. I liked the wall sit. Thanks so much again!

[@GailFerreira]

PJ thanks sooooo much for offering! Love your workouts & commentary. Very appreciated … I needed this!

[@arsheeshahsyed5576]

Will this challenge also help in reducing weight. Plz reply must.

[@carolmarquis6541]

I started with you a couple of months ago, every single exercise was modified for me. You kept me going by assuring me that just because it was a modified version didn't mean it wouldn't work. Well I felt every muscle worked when you assured me of this. I can happily say today I had no modifications of exercise except if I didn't have the TRX and Bosu ball which I don't. I just want beginners to know PJ promised me the exercises would work and I would advanced eventually. Stay with it guys it does work. awesome workout today PJ thanks

[@angiegildehaus1487]

I did it!!!! Thanks for the motivation, PJ! Looking forward to the next 24 days... I think...lol! ;)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

This is SO great to hear, Carol!! So glad that you are seeing results and progress!!! Keep it up, babe!!!

[@christine1962ful]

Hi. When yoi said you were using a pair of 15lb dumbells did you mean 1 single dumbells was 15lbs each? Can you please confirm? I always get confused if it means 1 or both dumbells combined means the 15lbs. Also, perhaps a video on how to understand the numbers? Thanks in advance. Just starting day one.

[@jeetyatwal]

Love how this series of workouts are only 20-25 minutes long. Best series. Found the older ones good, but would love to see more 20-25minute workouts. I workout at 5:30 in the morning, then walk the dog, then the kids wake up and I lose me time. Thanks PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yes! these workouts are perfect for busy you! I do have many of these shorter workouts. Try a quick search "20" across my channel and 52 workouts will come up 🙌

[@debbihagler8601]

25 days ago I had to modify EVERY exercise WITHOUT weights AND I stopped the workout after the second set of exercises!!! Today on day 25, I did EVERY exercise WITH 8 or 10 pound weights!! (it was still a challenge, but in a really good way!) Thank you, PJ, for helping me succeed in 25 fun workout days! You are one heck of a trainer!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

YES, Debbi!! PROUD of you...it's all you, babe!! Congrats.

[@mariemiriello1036]

Thank you PJ, I'm a 54 year old menopausal woman from England who uses your exercises most mornings to centre me for a new day. I have been working out with you for the past 30 days and I have now committed to the 25 day challenge, starting the first one today. Thank you for explaining the moves, technique and complexity it really supports me getting my form accurate. Most grateful :)

[@lisamerges6441]

I just finished day 25! PJ, everything you mentioned as indicators to gauge my improvement from day 1 vs day 25 were achieved. First thing I noticed was that I made it to the end and I could actually breathe. The workout even felt much shorter probably because I wasn’t yelling at you this time. I remember on day one thinking you were nuts when you expected me to do this circuit 3 times. Today I thank you and apologize for the back talk that you fortunately couldn’t hear. I started day one with 5lb and 8lb weights and today I used 8lbs and 10lbs. My arms are looking much more defined which is exciting. I also made it all the way through without stopping. I love your way of teaching and definitely plan to continue with you on Patreon. Thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hey Lisa-HURRAY!! Congrats on finishing strong, babe!! That's amazing progress and I love hearing about it! 💪👍 Woo hoo!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@taralaitinen1373]

OMG PJ You are way meaner in person. Love you and thank you for keeping us moving!

[@ruthv7798]

Loved this workout. One of the reasons I really like your workouts is that you provide so many options as well as a lot of cueing. Even those of us that have been working out for many years, get distracted or lazy and need to be reminded of proper form. Thank you!

[@debbihagler8601]

I agree with everything you said, Ruth! PJ is the BEST!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Well I'm happy to hear it, Ruth!!

I'm 70, now starting to exercise after two years, couldn't make all three, but I'm hopeful and encouraged. PJ, I love your sense of humour.

[@lasonialamay6786]

Oh yes! We finished this workout! My lil 8 y.o. grandson worked out with us this morning. We enjoyed it. He was so excited. I was proud of him. We're doing the 25 day challenge. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Thanks P.J. looking forward to #2 tommorow. We'll see you then.❤❤❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful La Sonia! How beautiful to have your grandson working out with you! LOVE it!! 😍

[@mariadamato9740]

Oh yeah!!! this is exactly what I needed to get back in the groove. Tough, sweaty and challenging 👍🏼💪🏼 You’re amazing. My friends and family see my transformation and asked me how I did it? Which I reply ~ it’s all PJs fault.😁. Thank you and looking forward to Day 2.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome, Maria!! I love that. Thanks!!

[@marialevreault5583]

PJ- I feel like you ARE in my living room with me, lol. I talk back to you and laugh at your jokes! I'm 59 and have exercised faithfully most of my life but have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Thanks for all you do for people like me who are determined to stay fit for decades to come. It's good to know you've got our backs....and knees, and hips!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Absolutely, Maria!! There isn't enough information and resources out there for people being active with Osteo which is why I developed my 30 Day Osteoporosis Program!

[@sevenstarsgonzo]

I'm not going to lie... I needed a few water breaks during that one. Thank you for a real challenge!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

That's alright Jenn! Keep it moving...

[@lauradimauro]

Let the challenge begin!! Excited! woohoo!

[@abigailsandham]

Day 1 smashed it. This one certainly started the 25 in 25 challenge off with a bang. I was sweaty mess by the end but feeling great for it. Day 2 here we come. X

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Right?! Woo!!

[@pw8407]

DAY 25!!!!! WOO HOO!!! Noticed all kinds of difference, hardly any stopping, and less modifications! Thanks PJ!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay!!! YOU DID IT!!! What a great result 😊 💪

[@dewall3657]

This was tough and sweaty. I made notes in the ebook of the amount of weight I used and my heart rate. I can't wait to see how far I've progressed at the end of the month.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Can't wait to hear all about it!!

[@debidicks6794]

I did it! finished it! 25 in 25....well not so much in 25...holidays, grandkids, sensitive lower back...you know...life! lots of modifications used....thank you PJ...It was a challenge but no matter how old we are....ahem...65!...we are a lot stronger than we believe we are....and proving it to ourselves through your workouts. thanks again PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Amazing Debi!! Proud of you!!!

[@shotgunshaney]

I haven't been much for working out ........until I found fitness with pj . She is just full of spunk and is a no nonsense type of gal and she has a way to get you motivated and takes the time to properly show you how to work out the right way. And gives you the inspiration to keep at it . So if you wanna feel better and get healthy over 40 I definitely recommend fitness with pj.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks so much for the kind words. It means a lot!

[@nahitonahito55]

What a great workout, PJ! It's a challenging workout. I'm looking forward to doing this again at the end of this 25 in25 challenge. Thanks PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yes!! Glad to hear I didn't scare ya off with this one...

[@juliehesketh1487]

Yay! 25 in 25 now complete!! Well, almost... skipped a few days to do some actual mountain climbing (up mountains and not on a mat) but I guess that all counts! Thanks PJ. Looking forward to Feb via Patreon!

[@karenw6352]

Listening to you is a whole lot better than music..... just saying..:)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awww gee thanks!!

[@amandac1667]

Day 1 complete, loved it! I'm 50 years old and haven't worked out this intensely for 4-5 years...I made it!! Modified some, only paused once, no weights with lunges. First workout with you. Thanks!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome Amanda! Welcome aboard! Happily Day 1 and 25 are the most intense days - you got this! 😃

[@nikischuck5856]

Wow great idea to be doing this one again at the end of the challenge. I'm definitely sweaty and feel a bit buggered ;) Nice one again PJ

[@BabaandJerusha]

This was my second workout with you and i'm hooked! 46 years old and Yoga and walks aren't cutting it for me anymore. I need more and this workout was exactly what I needed. I am planning on sticking to the 25 days! I love a good challenge. ThX!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yes!!! So glad to hear it, Jerusha!! You've got this!! 👊🔥

[@lisawiesen3304]

Whew! That was an intense but excellent start to the challenge. I’m a bucket of sweat. Looking forward to day 2!

Day 1 is done! Today is not my day so all I can say is I'm looking forward to day 25 and see the difference!! Thank you, PJ!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome! You got this! See you tomorrow! 🤩

[@gaylemillerglobalcommunity9472]

Great workout PJ! I am 56 have osteoporosis and found your channel looking for osteoporosis exercises. I was so happy to see the modifications! I am going to try this 25 day challenge and then think I will explore the over 50 workouts, Appreciate you and your reality about working out as we get older.

[@vernheatherprice3894]

🎉I finished the whole 25 days! Day 1 Max HR 157 Day 25 150 Weight 12 lbs and 7 lbs day 25 18 lbs and 10 lbs Day 1 stopped A lot especially during mountain climbers. Day 25 did not stop once! Even when you ran out of tape, day 1 I just did the 1 round, day 25 I did not stop! Tiredness day 1 9, Day 25 about an 8 BUT I increased my weight. I am definitely see more definition in my arms and legs. And a tiny tiny gap in my thighs. It's small but there lol. I am able to get my legs straighter in hamstring stretches! Thank You PJ you really have given me more confidence, and my health certainly has improved! I will do an active rest day tomorrow and then maybe do the 25 days again with heavier weights! Thank You! You Rock Cheers❤ Heather

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hey there Heather! What great results!!! I am so proud of you 👏 🥰

[@juliamarierodriguez4906]

Menopausal yuck has me trapped in laziness but I started my day 1 of 25 in 25. I LOVE your banter and appreciate your honesty - the cues help too to prevent any injuries ;) There is a plethora of vids out there but I chose you

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you so much Julia, it's appreciated. Congrats on starting the challenge...you've got this!!

[@cabanawwyoming5617]

Day 1! Signed up for the challenge and I'm subscribed. I turned 45 y.o. a month ago. I was a lazy teenager and lazy in my 20s, then loved running after my 2nd child when I was 31. Stopped running after my 3rd child at age 36 but enjoyed a heavy weight workout for a few months but it was too long to fit my new work schedule that started 5 years ago. Moved back to Wyoming 3.5 years ago to be closer to my parents. Since then I've done mild workouts to mostly none, very on and mostly off again. I've definitely been feeling perimenopause changes as well the last few years, especially this year, and knew I needed to step it up, I refuse to age weakly and feeling sick. I started eating better in Sept, started workouts pretty regularly since then, but now I'm ready for more: weights, build strength, lose the last 10 pounds. I'm subscribed and excited to see how I progress these next 25 days! I love that you don't have music! Looking forward to it.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Good for you taking your health into your own hands! Welcome and thanks you for subscribing 🙏 😃

[@corbo30]

Day 25!! I made it! I survived.....I'm stronger!! WOO HOO! Thanks PJ

[@onefroglady7249]

I am so proud of YOU! Talking to a camera and not getting immediate feed back is hard to do when you are in front of the camera. I love to listed to you as I work out with you on the 25/25. Thanks for working out with me.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks for choosing me as your personal trainer!!

[@nancyouellet9787]

Hi! I am 69 and enjoyed the first workout and was able to finish using many of the modifications. I have to be careful with knees and hips due to recent injury for overdoing it. Following physio treatment and wellness exercises for a month I am ready to start spreading my wings. I find your programs excellent because of all the prompting re proper positioning etc. which at my age is important. Thank you for your awesome videos.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are so welcome, Nancy!! Glad you're here.

[@hj-fm1zm]

Thank you Pj! Im 41 and let me tell you, with bad bone and joint family history, your work outs are perfect for me! I needed a pro to tell me there are modifications to lunges and its okay to do them without weights when needed! Im hard headed lol. After taking a week to stand up straight again, post rogue youtube workouts, im ready to accept the fact than my body is no longer a 20 year old drop top. Look forward to finishing your 25 in 25 and more! Doable, and enjoy the conversation!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

[@gunface12]

Hi! It’s Ange! I have missed working out with you as I have been running and running and running but I’ve found that as I get older, I need to build more muscles. I return to you… of course - she who I trust implicitly! Great day 1 of 25!

Oh goodness, thanks Ange-and welcome back babe!! You are always welcome here.

[@samanthafisher4350]

Well I'm 43 years old, and just finished the 25 challange!!! I have to admit I took a few extra days off in between, but I finished it which is a big deal for me. When I redid day 1 just now, I'm happy to say I was able to do the mountain climbers on the floor without stopping, which is HUGE for me (on day 1 i had to do them against a chair) I ❤❤❤have alway had like no arm strength whatsoever, that even yoga was hard as I just can't hold myself up. So thank you! Looking forward to trying the unstoppable challange next!! You are wonderful!

Hi there! due to lower back pain, I'll have to complete day 25 tmrw, really can't work out as I did years ago or even last year. Overall have been enjoying PJ's challenge. Recently purchased & received PJ's pink "run on caffeine & sarcasm" tank top, received lots of comments, this gave me the opportunity to share your channel PJ. Very comfy, nice color, flattering, loose-fitting, will purchase more, will wash cold and hang dry! Thank you PJ, take care, everyone.👍🏼💪🏼

[@jab7016]

Well PJ I finished the 25 in maybe 50, not quite sure but at least I finished. It took me a lot longer due to full time work and looking after my sick puppy and unfortunately dealing with his death. Thank you for the distraction and giving me a few laughs during a really sad time. It was a great program and I feel stronger and in a little bit better shape for doing it. You are the best!!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

[@jab7016]

@@FitnesswithPJ Thank you soooo much.

[@lasonialamay6786]

Wow! I've come a long ways. Definitely have more endurance. I didn't have to take longer rest periods as from day1. Wall sits, the 1st set I had to stand strait after about 25 sec in. The last 2sets. Did the entire 45 sec, I opted for planks instead of the renegade row and on 2 sets, I did the entire 45 sec. The rest was a breeze. I went longer than when I started day 1. I'm proud of me. Thanks again PJ for your knowledge, expertise and training techniques for us women over 40. As we get older and some of us may be going thru the menopause stage in our lives, our needs when it comes to weight training and cardio and don't want to leave out our eating habits absolutely differ from those as to when we were in our 20's! I feel so much better. I have more energy and good part I can work out longer w/o resting!💪💪💪🏋. Thanks again PJ. Looking forward to tomorrow's w/o. I got the 21day plan in my email. Enjoy the rest your day . Love you much!❤❤❤

I'm feeling stronger after your 21 day challenge, today started 25 day challenge OMG! "Love that you don't want to kill us but make us stronger!" My body is hooked on the results I get from you as a trainer especially your passion, hard work to motivate all levels. Congrats on 26 years, it's no wonder you look the way you do. Any one who gives a thumbs down is not happy with themselves, no reflection on you. I did have to take a few breaks, adjust dumbbells, wrists are painful but i did it!! Now ready to enjoy rest of this Labor day long wknd. I used to listen to music but now that I train with you I prefer to listen to your que's. My shoulders are already feeling the good burn. 🔥 🤗 🌞 Love your sarcastic sense of humor. 😂 See y'all tmrw. 💪 blessings 😊 😇

I live north of Houston and have been working out and battling weight and fitness all my life. I took notes on day one. On day 25 I read over my notes. Yes, I did improve and used heavier weights and very little modifications. If you didn’t give the suggestion of taking notes I wouldn’t have thought to. So glad I did. Thanks PJ I needed this motivation.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad you did that as well. It's so important to track our progress that way!! 👊👊

Amazing job, Renea!! That's definitely an improvement. 💪

[@crazymommadramalife3498]

Doing this challenge again. A couple things... 1. My endurance was definitely not the best, even though I've been working out with you for a while. 2. I prefer to listen to you talk than hear music. I find it more motivating and I love that you make sure we do our forms correctly so we get the most out of each exercise (and don't injure yourself lol). PJ you've changed the game for me with exercise. I've never been more consistent over a long period of time than I have with your videos. Thank you for all you do!

And as PJ promised I will get stronger ,,, people might no see my hard work but I feel it , how I feel confident to upgrade my dumbbells to heavier I didn’t today only because I have not bought heavier ones yet . Even though I was still not able to do two moves because of knees hurting or balance I felt ready for something more challenging. I felt the difference how tired I was day 1 by the end of the second round , third round I was out of breath. Today felt so easy . Thank You , Thank You PJ.

Done done 25/25 good one for an oldie like me. I didn’t want to jinx myself parading I’m on it till now. I’ve seen improvements on my markers,one of them is most important for me ,I didn’t get mad not having strength to do certain exercise,I’m just glad for the modified versions, I did increase my dumbbell weight couple pounds that I have, I noticed the exercises are well taught of for breaks giving a chance for recovery. Very smart coach PJ that is. The last time I tried to do fit for 15 I got sick after doing that kickboxing and whoa didn’t finish it after that. Getting old easy and enjoying the challenge I didn’t think I can do. Btw 6 days a week no sundays that’s my church day and rest day. More power to your program PJ. You’re a very good coach and entertaining too.

That's so wonderful to hear, Peggy!! 😘

[@myrealtor1429]

One of your hardest and sweatiest strength workout indeed. I loved it when I did it to the end. Thank you!

[@vtice740]

I know I'm late to the game... but I've never been 44 before and starting to get to a place where my previous workouts werent as friendly to my knees, hips, and seemed to no longer have the same effect they had before my menopause journey. I've learned that cardio is great - but often wears out my knees and low back, so weights seemed to be a better option. So THANK YOU for these.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Welcome! Enjoy this challenge - I think it will love it! 😃

[@maryannbarra6819]

Started your 25-in-25 today for 2022! What a kick butt workout! Loved it! Bring on Day 2!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome job, Maryann! See you tomorrow!

[@maryannbarra6819]

AND DONE!! Day 25 of 25 is complete! This was one AWESOME challenge, PJ. In terms of measuring how far I have come, I upped the weights and only modified 3 moves! SUCCESS!! You are my trainer for life! :)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yessss. I love hearing that so much!!🔥

[@michelleholdforth1625]

Wow oh wow!! Fantastic workout. I'm 55 and teach senior fitness, which I LOVE, and is obviously lower intensity but I need your type of workout so badly for myself. Thank you so very much!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

That's awesome, Michelle!!

[@puzzledpets]

25 in 25 completed! Felt stronger and fitter, made adjustments due to a minor tennis-related injury but still worked hard. Thanks for the challenge PJ, I felt I needed something to focus on. Bring on the next one!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Congrats on finishing strong, Laura!! 🙌💪

[@mybeautifulangelbabies8015]

Just finished the 25 day challenge…my second with you. Wow, great results! The last workout was easier to accomplish and I didn’t have to stop at all plus used more weight. I’m a believer and will be back for more. So glad I found you. Thanks, PJ😘

[@FitnesswithPJ]

What a wonderful result!! 🙌

Just "finished ", first time. I'm excited to see where I'll be in 25 days. Thank you for no background music. Everyone has different taste and also, people may not always want to hear a particular song each time they do a specific workout. 👍

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hi there Roberta 👋 so glad you loved it! I'm sure you'll also love the rest of the series! 😃

[@kristiemarsala2917]

Well you hit this one out of the park!! Im coming back from a mini vacay and did this tonight at 7pm instead of my 7am ritual!! I LOVED it!! PJ you are the best trainer EVER!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

👊🔥

[@priyankajain6614]

PJ, you are the best trainer on KZbin.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I appreciate it, Priyanka!

[@Grizz700ify]

Day 25 in the books - thanks PJ! I definitely improved in those 25 days. Can lift a bit heavier, less breaks. I’m going to do the whole program again… it’s fantastic - and with an average of 30 minutes is manageable. Thanks for providing your workouts on KZbin! I really do appreciate it!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay!! So glad and CONGRATS on finishing strong, Hillary! 💪

[@krostron]

This is my sixth time doing this workout. It was so hard on the first 25-in-25 challenge last fall. Now it's one of my favorite ones! I love all of PJ's Met Con workouts! They're guaranteed to get the heart rate up and make you sweat, and then that endorphin rush... 😅

[@FitnesswithPJ]

YES!!! I love love love hearing your progress. Thank you for sharing with me!

[@teresamurray5924]

First day of the 25 I couldn’t complete all three rounds. Today, I conquered. Great challenge. Thanks PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yesss, love to hear your progress Teresa!! Nice job, proud of you!! 🙌

[@sandracooper3094]

Just finished the 25 in 25, loved it, I was so much fitter on day 25, didn't have to stop and used heavier weights than the first day. It's got me motivated to carry on. I might do the whole programme again ❤️

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful! You are welcome Sarah! 🥰

[@kamanderson4328]

Yipee I did it! 25 days and the final day I definitely feel stronger💪I have osteoporosis and am trying to find ways to build bones. Thanks sooo much for your energy, enthusiasm and keeping us going. You rock👊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay!! Congrats on finishing strong, Kam!!

[@remcmillan1]

Just started the 25 days challenge. I have rheumatoid arthritis and love that you automatically include alternatives to the exercises.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

We've gotcha Rachel! 😃

[@lindahall4788]

May 1st. 11:30pm I just turned 60. I'm a part-time runner and a daily long-distance walker. I was online tonight looking for a full body workout and saw your videos over 40. I enjoyed workout number 1, and I'll be coming back for more 💪 Thank you : )

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hi there Linda! Welcome aboard - I think you're going to love this series! 😃

[@catht5841]

Thank crap for day 1 in the bag! Happy New year and so happy to be part of this challenge with the best trainer P.J!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🔥🙌

[@beckytanner6350]

Finished my 25 in 25. Thanks PJ. I definitely was able to lift heavier on some of the exercises! I really enjoy your style of workouts and training. It’s just the way I ❤️ it!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🙌 Congrats!! Great job, Becky! So glad you're enjoying the workouts!! 👏

[@TillyJK]

Ammmazing!!! PJ I loved this workout as the first one of the 25 days challenge. I love the fact you modify it for everyone who suffers from any kind of problem/pain.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Absolutely. We're all unique...you gotta!

[@christine1962ful]

Hey PJ! I did it!!! O just completed my 25 days! Feeling stronger and starting your 14 Day Booty and Abs Workout next! I will also be taking a look at your App at some point (the very near future!!!). You are the real deal 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾!!! Thank you so much for helping me to see my potential! 🥰🙏🏾🧘🏾‍♀️🥰

[@FitnesswithPJ]

[@michelleelizabeth299]

Day 25 done!! Love this whole challenge, and I've definitely gotten stronger, increased my endurance, and improved my balance! And I have to say you are probably the best trainer when it comes to cuing, modifications, tips on posture, offering different options- just everything that goes along with exercising safely. Whenever I'm doing other videos I hear your voice in my head, making sure I'm doing the moves properly ;) Thank you so much PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

"other videos" - are you cheating on me? 😆😊 Haha!

[@claireparry6791]

First time at any exercise in at least 10 + years - i am 50 and managed most of it. Thank you, looking forward to the next 24 days

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome job, Claire!! I'm proud of you! 💯👊

[@conversationswithjv7474]

25/25 I did it! 3 things different this time: I did every exercise without pausing, I was able to breath better and I finish the workout! We'll see if I can walk tomorrow... but I am sure it won't be as the first time. Thank you

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you PJ. 1st day of getting back to a proper workout routine. See you tomorrow.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Nice job Andrea!! Keep it up!

[@susanamartinsdafonseca1042]

Gosh… day 25 killed me. Thanks PJ. Ready to face the day and repeat day 1.:)

[@lorenabatson8569]

Hi! I've been strength training since May with the workouts of the women who have a timer & no talking....I started with you last week & love how you explain the movements and show modifications. Excited for this 25 day challenge!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad to have you on board Lorena! 🙌

[@gillianhaskell3439]

Very proud I got through this a 2nd time as I find it as much a mental as physical challenge to stick through the 25 days. I still find this workout very hard and stuck with the same weights as before. However, I actually managed to do the T push up on my right arm this time as opposed to nose diving on my face. Perhaps though the best thing was that my average bpm dropped by 4bpm so I'll take those as a measure of success. Many thanks PJ. I couldn't do it without you.👏❤

[@brooksday8407]

day 25 and round 2 - done!!! No knee issues this time around ( thanks to all the gluten med exercises the past couple of days!) and made it all the way through! I also went up in weights - yippee! Loved this challenge and these workouts! Thanks PJ - High five! Now off to target to get some heavier weights!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

👏 Yessss. Love all of this, Brooks. Great job!!! 🙌
