Intense Full Body Strength Circuit w/ Dumbbells for Women Over 40

[@margaretflynn1288]

Whooo-hooo! This was challenging for me, but it turns out that I have more stamina than I gave myself credit for, and, because I train with PJ on a regular basis, I’m getting stronger as well. I used 8#, 10#, and 12# dumbbells. Kudos to Cassidy for being a good sport when being unmercifully teased! 😂 Re: toilet seat position. I don’t care who left the seat up or down. I’m just glad to have a toilet whenever I need one!😅 🚽 Thanks PJ and Cassidy!❤❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

She really is an awesome person to be related to! 💕

[@fayemcdonnell7288]

Oh my word!!!! By round 5 I was rinsed!!! Managed the whole session with 7kg (15lb) (dropped down to 6kg for tricep kick back in plank). This was such an EPIC session, every inch head to toe was working hard and man could I feel it! Soooo good, absolutely smashing it PJ, another killer workout 💪❤️thank you!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wow Faye! Way to go! 🔥

[@donnalister1244]

Me TOO! But WE DID IT!!!

[@padawnie]

This is exactly what I did too and I am proud of all of us!!! 💪

[@alsci2489]

Same here. Was proud to be able to use 7kg for most of it!

[@JenniferStout-q6f]

PJ workouts are like childbirth - you forget all the pain and struggle. I don't remember doing this last year at all, but i am all about the results. I'm stronger!! Ice skating was easier this year, my balance was better, my quads weren't sore. Win-Win!

[@jaindeau772]

Near the end of round two, I thought I’d never make it through five rounds. But you were right - it went fast. The next thing I knew, we were starting round five and then done! Can’t wait to see how many Intensity Minutes my usually stingy Garmin gave me. My heart was pounding! BTW, the answer to the toilet seat issue is for everyone to close the lid. A soft-close seat/lid is a game changer.

[@dr.sherrispeaks]

Brutally wonderful

[@juliemartin8628]

OMG! This was tough and when you said 5 rounds at the beginning I was soooooo tempted to pick another class! I'm travelling at the moment and only had access to 15lb/7kg weights which is usually 'my heavy' weights. I did round 3 with no weights and picked them up again for the last two. I wanted to add that it was so nice to hear your banter about Cassidy's family business because it kept my mind off the struggle!! LOL! You both are great! thanks, as always PJ!

[@janicemaloof556]

Triple thumbs up!!!!!!!!!! Killer good metcon! THANK YOU PJ!!!! THANK YOU CASSIDY!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woo! Go Janice!! 🙌

[@AmberPfeffer]

Wow! Super sweaty and feeling good! Thanks PJ and Cassidy.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yayyyy!! Great job!

[@CaliforniaVMA]

I found your sciatica video. Finally, my sciatica did something good for me. Love your workouts.

[@jing.ocampo]

Wow, 5 rounds of this brutal! I literally had to push myself through the last 2 rounds! My mind (and shoulders and thighs) was telling me I shouldn't have used the 15lbs for this workout 😅 But---as always!!!---it was sooo worth it, and I feel so good.❤ My muscles might not agree with me tomorrow or the next day though 😂

[@abigailsandham]

Wonderful fantastic sweaty workout. What a way to start my week. I'm a little all over the place with this challenge but I'm getting it done in my own way. X

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this! 💗

[@lordhutchinson8275]

Sweating like crazy, thank you!

[@jburwinkel]

Great start to my day!! Thanks!!

[@annerussell3253]

Great workout

[@pw8407]

Had a sore lower back today, so lightened the weights and was able to do the entire workout with no issues!! Your ques help so much!❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I hope your back feels better!

[@jpkko412]

Awesome! thank you

[@FitnesswithPJ]

💗

[@GabrielDiaz-m2q]

Thanks PJ! Great workout for this over 60yo body. Told my doctor about your workouts. She was impressed!

[@susancollett9194]

Great workout! There was enough variety that my brain didn't even realize it was a repeater until the last one 🤣 Go PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woohoo! 🥳

[@Juliak228]

8 in a row! great workout!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Smashing it Julia!! 🙌

[@abigailsandham]

WOW this was one sweaty intense fun workout. Feeling the muscle burn and loving it. ❤️ 💪 😊

[@kristieguldin9479]

Great workout, PJ! Hugs to both you and Cassidy!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks so much! 🤗

[@karenott5943]

Thanks to the dynamic duo....the time flew!!!

[@beckytanner6350]

Nice! Thank you PJ and Cassidy!

[@jburwinkel]

This flew by!! I love your commentary and I also learn so much!! Thank you!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are so so welcome!

[@CashmereWool]

Thank you that was hard but I made it ❤

[@carmenross1077]

Whoa that was awesome thank you both PJ and Cassie yeah

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😃

[@henrycoopermusic5094]

great workout! I'll be 70 next July which is unbelievable. I have some osteoporosis and arthritis and I teach a bunch of movement classes a week so I don't get the workouts I need to stay strong and mobile. I'll be back! thank you!

[@valenciagraham4254]

I survived and feel great. Thanks!

[@michelleelizabeth299]

Day 8 done! 5 rounds and my muscles are done! It did go by pretty quick though :) Thanks PJ and Cassidy (and yes, you two are just too adorable for KZbin!)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! Love it! 🥰

[@colleengirl1]

Awesome workout!! Thanks gals!! 😊❤🎉

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Glad you liked it!! 🔥

[@rennaparker7332]

Hard workout but good!

[@georgiecameron4007]

Omg pj that was intense 🤪but i loved it 💪

[@dawnbrower9129]

Yikes! 5 rounds!!! 💪👍

[@lynneprice420]

Killer strength workout, awesome, thank you! 🙌

[@FitnesswithPJ]

💪 🔥

[@lisadenbow8565]

Awesome PJ, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do the overhead maneuvers but yippee, accomplished even with 12lb weights. I interchanged with 15lbs for some of the other exercises. Went fast also. Have a marvelous day !❤💪🏻

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wow! Nice work there Lisa! 💪

[@marygartrell5277]

Day 8 Great workout today I started with 1O lb. weights and dropped down to 8"s for most shoulder moves. My left shoulder has flared up again on me. Thank you PJ and Cassidy

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Shoot, sorry to hear about the shoulder. May I also recommend avoiding planks & mountain climbers too. Instead, sub in bicycle crunches, V sit and dead bugs. Let's give the shoulder what it needs right now, rest. OK?

[@pattycraig7170]

Intense was right! I used 10# and 12# and really got my sweat on. I was surprised how fast the 5 rounds seemed to go! Great workout! Day 8 Done ✅

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woo! Go Patty! 💪

[@audreyrice996]

You've outdone yourself, PJ. What a workout! YAZAH!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🙏

[@devanvaughn5210]

Day 8✅️

[@mariadamato9740]

You were right, five rounds went by quickly. Thanks PJ and Cassidy!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🙌

[@amymartin-cole3843]

So much cuteness! This was tough. 🎉😅

[@jenniferantonini6785]

A drenched one I am after doing this!! This challenged me especially when I heard 5 rounds!! I did it and feel wonderful!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great stuff Jennifer! 😃

[@donnalister1244]

OMG 😳! Round 5 had me struggling to push my weights above my shoulders. Whew 😅. Now I’m set up to shovel snow ❄️. Thank goodness its light, fluffy and not deep. Thanks PJ & Cassidy. Red Brigade ROCKED. 🇨🇦🎒❤️🍷☕️‼️

[@helenjoynes9026]

This was tough! Feel spent and great all at once

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this Helen! 💗

[@puzzledpets]

Thanks for this, thought 5 rounds would kill me but I did manage to keep going. Love what you say about the lights. With a 14 and 16 year old we joke that we should get shares in the power company so we wouldn't mind so much!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😂

[@emilycolby5629]

Day 8 done! I was toast by the end! I almost went with 15lb dumbbells, man am I glad I didn't! 12's were plenty. It did go fast just like you said.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

💪

[@marshakeck5690]

Excellent! Cracked up over mushroom root beer!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😆

[@rebeccakomarek4668]

Used heavy dumbbells, so I had to take long breaks, but I finally made it through the five rounds!!!

[@robinchasinghawk9707]

I haven’t worked out for 2 1/2 month and this was looong for me. I made it to the 32 minute mark. It felt like the movie Groundhog Day, only it was the same exercises over and over again 😂🥵😮‍💨

[@jing.ocampo]

5 rounds of non-stop (no water breaks) metcon! 😳 Thank you for always pushing the envelope further, PJ! Day 8, done@

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this! On fire Jing! 🔥

[@laurettedebogorski9530]

Alternated between 10 and 15 lbs. DEFINITELY sweating 🥵. Yay, cuteness Duo

[@amandapollabauer1954]

Nice and sweaty😂

[@christianaohara8081]

Have you tried Virgil’s zero root beer? No aspartame or sucralose. It is sweetened with erythritol and stevia. Really enjoyed the workout!

[@kathywright7803]

I feel like a badass after doing that one!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woo! You ARE a BADASS! 💪

[@angharadgaylard2565]

When you said 5 rounds i thought ni way!! But did it and upped my weight yay! X😅

[@lisaluciano4973]

Woo hoo!! Mixed some 15lb in my 10lb weights! Great workout! * I missed yesterday, so I am making it up!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job!

[@alexaetal]

Loving the workouts! Poor Cassidy, being embarrassed by auntie every workout !😄

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I know, right? 😆

[@MarieMulkern]

What does the bounce do for you in the “snatch”

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Not sure I understand. But you want momentum in a snatch so there is some ‘bounce’ in my feet because of that.

[@angeladula5876]

This one kicked my butt but glad I did it. 😁

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way to go! 😃

[@annechristensen8696]

By the 5th round I was😅 and spent! Whoa baby….that was a torcher!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

💪 🔥

[@apriamartin9404]

Sweaty and done!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🙌

[@mandylloyd6750]

Proud that I stuck with 10lb weights for the entire 5 rounds! I don't love the dumbbell clean and snatches, I think because I feel like I'm doing them wrong.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Mandy! Keep at it 💪

[@sarinalam4907]

Thanks PJ! I used 6kg except for tricep extension. I burnt 209 for the past 41mims

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woo! Nice work. Sarina 😃

[@annafrater50]

Okay so , all the comments about peanut 🥜 butter got me hungry so I had to stop and have peanut butter straight from the jar before I continued . Great work out 👏 thankyou x

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! love it! 😍

[@jeanetteweiler3448]

a day late...but it's never too late for a healthier me/you/us. cheers and thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got that right! 😃

[@justkidingbrat]

My daughter can’t turn off a light when she leaves a room to save her life!!!! Pet peeve. Awesome sweaty workout - thank you 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😂. Glad you loved the workout!

[@carolinelegg6110]

A fantastic workout - my head was saying 5??? But my body just ignored it 😂 would love to do this one again next month, and up the weights!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love this Caroline! 🙌

[@StiofaininIreland8168]

Omg after round 4 I was ready to pack it in 😅 Wow 💦 🥵 I had to go heavy on some of the move I wasn't feeling it but doing 5 rounds my word ya think I'd be use to it by now 😂 Thank you ladies See you tomorrow Steph 🇮🇪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woohoo! 🙌

[@donnajablonski2324]

During the 3rd set I told myself 3 sets and I'm done. But I persevered and did all 5.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Bam!! 💥

[@deborahshields729]

I read the comments this morning and thought Oh it can't be that bad. Yeah right! Omg! I am drenched in sweat! I lift much heavier than this for my normal strength training routine. But not at this pace!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that was great! Thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job! Makes a difference, right? 😃

[@LynnDodwell-n6t]

Thanks to you two cutie petuties! Brilliant keeper of a workout!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Our pleasure! 🥰

[@karenhayler4158]

Day 8✅. You were right the 5 rounds went quickly

[@FitnesswithPJ]

The best way to get it DONE!! 😃

[@karenpeterkin4815]

❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😃

[@angharadgaylard2565]

Bit of a killer to say the least!! But did it so all good 💪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this Angharad! 😃

[@jason4liberty]

Great workout, even though it was FIVE SETS!! 😅Leaving both seats down on the toilet when not in use has made it fair for my family since everyone has to put up at least one!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! Yesss 😉

[@abigailjacob1718]

You didn’t tell us what weight to grab but when I heard 5 rounds I settled on 12lbs and managed to keep them for the entire workout. Your babbling/commentary 😅helped thanks PJ and Cassidy for showing us how it’s done. I feel great 🎉

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Nice work Abigail 🙌

[@ellencolangelo2200]

I’m done! Every part of my body is achy 😩 and tired. I used 8 and 10 that felt like 30 and 50lbs. it certainly was intense and full body. I may be too spent to do my yoga class in an hour.

[@dianemirich5556]

what a challenge, I'd give you 2 thumbs up but youtube won't let me!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awww thanks Diane! 🙏

[@emmamcmillan5514]

Wow 🥵 heart rate got up to 148! Need a lie down now 🤣

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are rocking the challenge Emma! 💪

[@independane]

These longer workouts no longer faze me. (i am not suggesting you should exceed 60 min, let's not be crazy :) This was great, really tough by the 4th round!

[@independane]

and i am just realizing i clicked on the wrong one... i'll do today's strength in place when it gets to the 8th :)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job! 💪 👏

[@rousebear]

This was a challenging one for me! I used 15 lbs for most of the moves except push press overhead I switched to 10 lbs after three rounds. I look like a drowned rat. 😅

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome work! 💪

[@bridgetbaker2809]

…a bit behind. Day 8 ✅

[@FitnesswithPJ]

We are here for ya! 😃

[@BusterTheWonderDog2003]

Wowsa… worked up a sweat with this one! Used 7kg for the entire session… pretty pleased with myself 😉. Awesome as usual, PJ 🦘👍

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job! 🙌
