My 50 Lessons from 50 Fitness Challenges

[@giochacon8354]

Something I would love to hear different perspectives on...: MENSTRUATION and fitness... and how people work ground it

[@Cattycommentator]

This probably sounds simple and dumb, but listen to you're body while you're dealing with your cycle. Take time off if you need to do low impact workouts, eat your cravings in moderation.

[@garnettekken]

I work out the exact same on my period. Sometimes i lift heavier. Just depends on where i am in my training cycle. The menstrual cup was the main investment i made for training on my period

[@kaylazangola1340]

Me too

[@nellivilhelmiina]

You don’t have to do anything differently unless you notice for example that you are more tired, have less energy of less strength. And these things you notice by being intune with your body. Different phases of the cycle affect people differently.

[@Artofcarissa]

You gotta be careful with that, especially if you’re restricting your diet. If you lose your period that is a severe sign of something wrong with your body

[@rachelmallory3734]

Biggest tip- gentle, consistent movement is a game changer. Adding a thirty minute walk and ten minute yoga to my morning routine has been so great to mentally prepare for my day. ❤

[@fitsoccergirl]

Biggest tip I learned : you have to do what works for you, not copy someone else's routine, diet or whatever 😉 took me some time to not just know it but apply this lesson.

[@anna.rarytska]

[@75JayLady]

My favorite thing about Keltie is her unending promotion of movement all kinds of movement. Great message!

[@RebeccaEWebber]

30 Days of Yoga - Move in a state of flow and playfulness. Shift perspective from “body = performance” to “body = joy and exploration.” Running Every Day for 30 Days - Running can be enjoyable when started slow, and the “runner’s high” is real. Running Every Day for 100 Days - Streaks create motivation; reaching 10-15 days builds momentum and reduces the desire to quit. Running Every Day for a Year - Always ask yourself “why” before committing to long-term challenges to ensure they add value to your life. Barry’s Bootcamp for 5 Years - Music is a powerful motivator; the right playlist can elevate a workout. Training as an Olympic Gymnast - Step back when frustrated, take a break, and return with focus for better results. Training Like an Olympic Runner - Training for performance feels more fulfilling than training for aesthetics. Training Like a K-Pop Dancer - Fitness can be fun and playful, especially with dance-based movement. Training Like Megan Thee Stallion - Embrace confidence and body positivity by moving in ways that make you feel good. Training Like Miley Cyrus - Adopt and embrace new fitness identities while staying flexible and open to change. Trying Ballet - Improved posture boosts confidence and body awareness. Red Light Therapy - Make good habits obvious and bad habits hard to stick to your goals. Posture-Correcting Exercises for 30 Days - Better posture improves both confidence and physical well-being. Anti-Aging Workouts for a Year - Balanced training (weights, cardio, balance, stability) promotes longevity without extremes. Quitting 12 “Dirtiest” Habits in a Year - Replace bad habits with healthier coping mechanisms to ensure long-term success. 75 Hard (Customized Version) - A simple checklist helps maintain accountability and consistency. Blue Zone Diet for 30 Days - Community and shared meals are key components of longevity. Getting “Glass Skin” in 30 Days - Slowing down and romanticizing self-care routines reduces stress and negative behaviors. Attempting Taylor Swift’s 3-Hour Performance - Enjoy hobbies and creative outlets, even if you’re not “good” at them. Runner vs. CrossFitter - Put your ego aside and warm up properly to avoid unnecessary injuries. Surviving Beyoncé’s Renaissance Performance - Recognize the athleticism required for high-level musical performances. Wall Pilates for 14 Days - Beware of over-marketed fitness trends that rely more on ads than word-of-mouth. Cryotherapy & Cold Showers - Quick cold exposure boosts energy and can improve sleep in moderation. Quitting Diet Pop for 6 Months - Prove to yourself you can quit small habits to gain confidence for tackling bigger ones. Gua Sha Face Massages for 30 Days - Relieve tension and headaches while improving self-care routines. Andrew Huberman Protocols - Morning sunlight exposure is an easy habit that enhances energy and daily rhythm. Electrolytes (Bonus) - Replenishing electrolytes reduces muscle cramps and brain fog, especially for active individuals. Sauna for 30 Days - Heat exposure before bed improves sleep quality by helping your body cool down naturally. Top Models’ Pilates (e.g., Forma) for 90 Days - Aesthetic appeal and accountability can help you stick to a routine. Walking Desk - Using a walking pad encourages better posture and can alleviate tension headaches. Olympic Triathlon with No Training - Gradual progression is essential to prevent injuries during endurance challenges. Quitting Alcohol for 30 Days - Replace social drinking with other activities to maintain social connections. Serena Williams Workouts and Diet - Celebrate the rise and representation of women in elite sports. Pilates for 3 Years - Resistance training doesn’t have to involve heavy weights; Pilates offers great strength benefits. Pole Dancing - Fun, music-based workouts are enjoyable and provide hidden fitness benefits. Attempting Michael Phelps’s Diet & Workouts - Extreme challenges may not always suit you. Know when to stop if it’s not working. The 12-3-30 Treadmill Workout - A simple way to incorporate Zone 2 cardio, especially in poor weather. Drinking a Gallon of Water Daily - Hydration needs are individual; there’s no universal “magic number.” 1,000 Jump Ropes Daily for a Month - Some challenges are purely for novelty or views; not all need profound lessons. SoulCycle for 30 Days - Spin classes are fun but not inherently better than other cardio options. Kim Kardashian’s Waist Trainer - Avoid tools that weaken your core or other muscles over time. Doing the Splits in 30 Days - Everyone’s body is different. Flexibility takes time, especially without a prior foundation. Olympic Gymnast Stretching Routine - Adults can improve mobility and flexibility with consistent effort. Intermittent Fasting - Fasting may not be optimal for everyone, particularly women. Listen to your body and do what works for you. 100 Sit-Ups Daily for a Month - More effective ab exercises exist; prioritize quality over quantity. (Skipped) Going Vegan for a Month - Gradually increase fiber intake to avoid digestive issues. CrossFit for 30 Days - Overtraining often stems from under-recovering. Schedule rest and recovery during intense periods. Quitting Workouts for 15 Days - Fitness breaks don’t define you. Muscle memory and trust in your habits will bring you back. Stretching Every Day for a Year - Regular mobility work can make your body feel younger and more capable. Tom Brady’s Diet for 30 Days - Trust your instincts and take creative risks; they can lead to personal breakthroughs.

[@brendaapayne]

I’m new to your channel so had no idea what to expect when I clicked on this. I was worried it would be a “I tried 50 challenges and THIS one is the best for everyone” type video - I was pleasantly surprised that it’s nothing like that!! I enjoyed watching this.

[@nicholefahey7040]

Even though you haven’t dine an indoor rock climbing challenge your videos about trying random sports inspired me to try it and now I’m obsessed and it’s the main way I like to work out. Would be interested in seeing a rock climbing challenge 👀

[@LalaBosch]

Yes this one!

[@maytreeee]

Agree! If you are curious about it

[@maytreeee]

Agree! If you are curious about it

[@katrinam2309]

You’re the one who got me into mobility this year, so thank you! ☺️ whenever I start to feel sore and unmotivated during my regular weekly workouts I now do a mobility one, and it’s been so helpful in pretty much every area of my life lol.

[@KeltieOConnor]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCh!! Congrats and building such a great habit!

[@kathleensolomon9041]

As a shorter, stronger and older woman, your videos have motivated me to try new things, keep at them and to remember to laugh at myself and enjoy. I also learned to stick with a challenge. I’m on row 203, I looked at the rankings the other day and while I’m nowhere close to the leader, I’m right around 22nd in my age group, which is amazing to me since I never even rowed until I was trapped inside during the plague. Now, I’m closing in on 1M meters! 🎉 Thank you for the inspiration and good advice. I look forward to next year.

[@KeltieOConnor]

That is absolutely amazing Kathleen! So beyond proud how far you’ve come on your row journey. I remember when you commented after finish for 1 month! Beyond inspiring! Cant wait to hear what you accomplish in 2025!

[@NyxNamor]

My tip: There's nothing wrong with taking a step back from what you are doing. Take your breaks before burnout takes everything from you. This coming from someone who did KZbin consistently, is part of an international dance troupe, taught dance classes, was in the gym 5 days a week, and tried to find ways to optimize almost every minute of my day. I'm just now coming out of burnout.

[@thatgirl8461]

Lol I so appreciate that you can admit you make clickbait sometimes. You are the most real youtuber!

[@emilyclontz4009]

The top tip you gave this year that changed my life: turn off the lights to stop picking. It’s amazing how well it worked

[@Meghan1042]

Keltie, thanks for doing all your challenges. They're informative, and fun. Every time I don't know what to do, I turn on a Keltie video and I just can't get enough! Love you and thank you!

[@KeltieOConnor]

So happy you’re enjoying the videos thank you!!

[@yumry2999]

I get so inspired by your running video and I started running now I run 3days per week. Now I want to try yoga in 2025❤ thank you Keltie.

[@carolinelgdanse]

Hi, I am new to your channel and I love it here. I want to thank you for being so open about spin picking, it’s a secret battle I have finally won after 30 years. Also thanks for not being toxically positive. You really are a gem and a good role model.

[@therter1170]

Hi Keltie! I am at 6mins of this video and i had to stop it, because i just realized how much I appreciate your attitude and aproache to us, your audience. Your volurnabilty here and you! For all those topics you bring, and that your videos are in really good ratio of fun - research (facts) - you. So long story short, I really want to thank you for what you are doing and how you are here! Enjoy the rest of the year 24! And all nice and good to 25! T.

[@cdcredo]

You had a crazy busy few years! Loved that you completed all these challenges and that you gave us input. Good to know that some of these challenges are attainable. Love your channel and everything you share with us!

[@Steph-df9op]

Thank you for putting all of this together and sharing your experience! I’ve never been very consistent with my health and fitness; I tend to go through cycles where I try to go 0-100 in something whether it’s my workouts or healthy eating and I always end up falling off the wagon. In the new year I want to slowly ease into new habits, and try to tackle one new habit at a time instead of trying to change my whole lifestyle overnight. I’m going to start with stretching and flexibility. Have a happy new year!

[@KeltieOConnor]

I love this new mindset you’re taking in 2026! I used to be very black and white to. Now that I’ve done the slower 1 at a time method it changed completely! Hoping you experience the same! You got this 🩵

[@Hillbillyalmcc]

Thank you for doing this video. Sometimes my exercise is sporadic. I get times where I’m too tired after work. Thank you for mentioning that muscle memory is great. It encourages me to get active again. My fitness journey is on going.

[@kiara3368]

Keltie, I recently stumbled upon your channel last year and you have been such an inspiration and a breath of fresh air when it comes to poking holes and being honest in an industry that is so hyper fixated upon aesthetics and whether you look good . Seeing you challenge yourself to do so many things, but also just experimenting with fitness is so inspirational and has confirmed a feeling inside myself to just do it and don’t focus so much on external validation politics. So thank you so much!!! Also, I appreciated your comment about how a lot of fitness studies are done on men, I had no idea!

[@FeralFeminine]

I have only been following you for about 1.5 years but I love your self induced challenges! They remind me to play and see movement as fun. Can’t wait to see what you do in 2025!

[@KaranDeuinva-x4f]

She’s simply perfect, I can’t look away.

[@franknsteinsASMR]

@@KaranDeuinva-x4f I agree

[@kristen_sears]

This is my favorite video yet!!! I love reiterating that just because it's trendy doesn't mean it's ground breaking!!! Staying consistent above all else has helped me

[@lisinbondi1240]

Congratulations for your success. You make my life more fun 🤩 so please keep going and just doing you. My biggest learning is from seeing women in their 70’s and 80’s rebuild their strength balance and cardio by making an effort. It is NEVER too late.

[@isabellasinspirations6210]

hi keltie! i literally love your channel!! you are such an inspiration to me in fitness and in youtube! i love your content and everything about your channel! i’ve also learned so much from your videos, thank you keltie!!

[@Caelshin]

Thank you for doing all these challenges! I've found your channel during your running challenges, and they've helped me a lot in my running journey!

[@mikereano]

I want to run/jog/walk 40 miles a week for 6 months. I have been keeping a log and realized that I did 44 miles this past 6 days and I still feel like I don't need a rest day. You have inspired me to create my own fun challenges. Thank you for being an inspiration for men who are almost 50.

[@ambervelasquez904]

Thank you for all the encouraging, motivating and honest! Videos you share. Not only interesting, funny, topics I’m always interested in but you share such personal “real” things. I just think you’re so brave ❤ Can’t wait to see what’s next! 💪🤗

[@KeltieOConnor]

Wow amber I appreciate that so much 🥹🩵 thank you so much!!

[@ameliabienhart5624]

You’re such a boss, I love watching your videos and the versatility of everything is amazing! You inspire me to try be the best version of myself and I’m sure you inspire others as well. You rock!❤

[@craigl7773]

I appreciate your honesty and commitment. 👍🏼

[@Jenny-t8y]

True goddess vibes, love it.

[@marinatomasc]

My tips are 1. Follow people who share the vibe you want for exercising, like Keltie, who makes workouts feel fun and adventurous and thats why I love her videos so much 2. If you have fibromyalgia or conditions causing exercise flare-ups, build your rhythm slowly. Choose exercises allowing difficulty adjustments for bad days and work with professionals understanding your limits and symptoms fluctuation. 3. Start with activities you genuinely enjoy, even if only one day a week, and gradually increase frequency. This way is easier than jumping into a full routine and giving up after the motivition drops. Extra tip: Dont try to optimize everything finding "THE BEST" exercise. Have at least one exercise day focused not only in health or bodybuilding, but with other goals you enjoy (e.g., dancing, climbing, rollerblading). When you genuinely enjoy it you start to want to get to the other goals (dance better, do a hard trick) and naturally start to want to explore other exercises for speed, strength, etc

[@nefertitimontoya]

The extra tip is so real!! There doesn't have to just be "the one" type of exercise you do -- just do more exercise that you enjoy.

[@lkessler1]

Thank you so much for your detailed comment. I enjoy weightlifting but I have a permanent, localized shoulder/ nerve injury that causes me a lot of pain with many upper body lifts. I’ve been in my own head about it and somewhat depressed. You made me realize that I should focus on what I can do versus what I cannot do, and to seek out other forms of exercise. In my head weight lifting was the end all, be all for aging, and while it’s important, I must accept that I have limitations due to my condition. I follow many weightlifters, but I start to feel bad because I cannot do a large part of their workouts, so I may have to reevaluate who I follow on YT and social media.

[@marinatomasc]

@lkessler1 heeey! I’m so glad my comment helped. You’re absolutely right. I hope you find people to follow who inspire you about exercise and help you discover the best routine FOR YOU. Everyone is different, and while research can tell us what types of exercises are optimal for building certain muscles or improving specific movements, I truly believe the best exercise is the one that works FOR YOU. I also love weightlifting, but I had to adjust because I developed fibromyalgia. Every time I tried to exercise, I would overdo it and trigger a flare-up of fatigue and pain. (Also, for a silly reason-the gym near my house had a dance class upstairs, and whenever the dancers started jumping, it felt like the ceiling was about to collapse, which gave me anxiety attacks). Even though that fear was irrational, it still affected me. I tried so hard to follow a routine, but I’d end up in a flare-up for a week or more. Eventually, I decided to try rollerblading. At first, it was just once a week, purely for fun. It wasn’t as “effective” as weightlifting, but it didn’t cause flare-ups because I could adjust my rhythm. Over time, I started wanting to go twice a week, then three times. Then, I wanted more strength to try harder moves, so I started Pilates. Now, I can exercise five times a week without flare-ups, and I even want to include more weight exercises. But all of this was only possible because I decided to be kind to myself and allowed myself to try something less “effective” but sustainable. And as an extra tip, one video that always makes me want to exercise, beside keltie videos is the video "how i accidentally learned to love exercising" from caroline Winkler.

[@caseyldi]

Yes on flexibility and mobility improvement!!! I'm almost 37 and feel better and look better than I did in my teens! Working on flexibility and mobility combined with a mostly whole food vegan diet, I just feel better the older I get!

[@KeltieOConnor]

I love that you’re feeling so youthful!! Means you’re don’t it right 👏

I am getting married this year!! My goal is to feel my absolute best at the wedding and I am working this year to fuel myself with good nutrient dense foods! Also half marathon!!

[@Valerie.E.Mellon]

I found your channel 5 years because of the Tom Brady one and have been subscribed ever since! But for healthy habits, for my brain I have to have the least amount of steps to get started otherwise I get distracted and won’t do it. Also I’ve been post Christmas cleaning and have just been playing your videos as background noise/motivation 😊.

[@KeltieOConnor]

Means the world to me you’ve been here all those years! So happy my videos could be background cleaning noise for you 🥰

[@Casey-ql5xg]

Best lesson learned: do what type of fitness and active hobby makes me happy. Follow high protein/fat diet, and forgive myself if I eat too much “junk” and move on. I have tried following too many trends, and just failed because they weren’t fun!

[@Tangnimation]

Taking a step back and try again really hit me. 💕

[@user-strength10]

You've really grown this channel over time so congrat's on the accomplishments (obviously you've done more then 50 challenges but this would be a 3 hour video lol), can't wait to see Keltie 2025 content, and best of luck 😎🥂

This year (2025) I’m focussed on getting my cholesterol down, losing a stack of weight and getting back to my yoga practice. Working from home has destroyed me physically, I just want to get back to the person I once was, sporty and active.

Hi!! You have motivated me to start going to the gym in January and start my own fitness journey. Can you please make a guide on how to actually start and not feel intimidated and overwhelmed?

[@KateS1980]

Dance in earnest the moments of the here and now. As long as you are dancing, you will get somewhere!

[@KeltieOConnor]

Dancing is so often the answer!

[@falloutboyluvr99]

Not sure if this is a hack, but for the dry brushing, I actually do it in the shower! I ain't putting the time to do it ever dry, but I did realize i can take the brush and use it with soap for my whole body in the shower! Two birds with one stone and I get extra clean! I feel like it's mostly for the stimulation and I don't need to do it dry. Been doing it for years and my skin loves it!

[@KeltieOConnor]

Now THESE are the true kinda hacks, I love to dry brush but I forget to half the time too. Going to try adding it while in shower, feels way more manageable!

[@marinaolivia2533]

I think the most helpful phrase is "If you don't move it you will lose it". I keep this in mind whenever I don't want to go for a walk or workout.

[@elysewilliams1511]

I've done a few of those challenges and learned some things. 30 day Yoga - really helped my anxiety, especially working from home. If I felt over whelmed, I'd do a 30 min session on my lunch break and felt calmer the rest of the day. 12-3-30: Start slow. I'm not a cardio girly, so that killed me the 1st time. Build up to it. And maybe getting to 12 incline will never happen.

[@aimeesmith6566]

it sounds boring but i would really like to see a video of a month where you do no challenges, and instead show where your routine is at now - how do you balance running/strength training/mobility/fun workouts etc?

[@Spydeberg7876]

The value from this video 😮 Realized I’ve watched almost all of them, and that made me a bit emotional, you truly bring something to my life ❤ I wrote down a lot of your tips here and will be using them in the new year; I want to do more flexibility and yoga to find flow and feel younger in my body (currently 37 years old). I will be outside more and se the sunlight (my Garmin always compliment me when I do this😅). I will try swimming, which I’ve never done much of, I can easily progress in other things because I’ve done them consistently over the years, but swimming is new to me. I will focus on achievement rather that what I look like. I’ve done that for some time, love to break new records with this body that just feels more adultish than before. I try to think that an adult looks like this, I’m not a “young” person anymore, and that helps me focus on what I can do instead of what I look like. And I will do more monthly focus, in all area. Like one month to focus on meditation and one month to go through old journals etc. Not just little bits here and there, but get in done.

[@michelledavis-planning6956]

[@brookefrazee193]

I just wanted to say it’s really great to see your overall Health increase over the years especially when you see your hair i the earlier videos.😁

[@CatherineWilliams-g4l]

Doing a warm up first thing when you get up. Do 10 mins of light cardio (dancing for example) then warm up your entire body from your neck, shoulders, wrists, fingers, twists of abs, hips, knees, ankles and toes. Build in some strengthening exercises from physiotherapy to each of these. It transforms your workouts and recovery by doing these in the morning. Then static stretch out before bed. They don't have to take long. Also - men and women - don't forget kegels. Better O's, reduced risks of hernias and other issues from weight training. Even if you don't think you need them. You do to maintain them like all muscles.

[@kellymanfredini3835]

I have been following along from the beginning! 🎉

[@dunno1235]

Love this!! Would be great to have a top 10 of your faves and why, I could listen to you speak about this all day, especially how they made you look vs how they made you feel I try a lot of different training styles because I like to stay entertained but I’m still working out what the sweet spot mix is for me, maybe I should start a channel to find out 😂

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

[@rustysa1300]

“My biggest tip, especially for those of us who have been doing this for a while, is learning to stay quiet. Sometimes, when I talk to people about fitness, I end up speaking off the cuff without much thought. I’m often half-joking and half-serious, but later, I realize I may have given terrible advice. Without proper context, what I said comes across as stupid.”

[@vancouver-z7h]

Great video!! Can you make a video on how to make January/February a vibe in Vancouver? After Christmas I am confused that it isn't immediately spring in Vancouver

[@KeltieOConnor]

Honestly I need to figure that out myself haha! Jan - March in Vancouver is just constant gaslighting that it’s spring HAHAHHA

[@YECIEBOO]

I love and appreciate you for posting a video while every other KZbinr is on vacation 😅❤

[@chouquetteland]

To build off of comments about adapting workouts to your own body and problems, I often read that running was a no go during PMS and periods. HOWEVER, I suffer from really bad blood clots on my period and some movements, like running and cycling, get my blood circulating around my pelvic area and help prevent the clotting. They are activities that actually make my life better around that time in the month. Even though it can be hard to get up and go, partly because of the pain, I need to remind myself that I will feel less pain after !

[@kaitlyndavidson7200]

So I LOVE running and the gym.. former cross country runner and gymnast.... idk how to balance the two. I LOVE cardio: stairmaster, running, elliptical, long walks. But I want to make sure Im not doing too much... any advice for a workout split? Right now I workout 6 times a week

[@vanessad5629]

Yess, always enjoy your end of the year videos! Your efforts and hard work really shines. Happy New Year, Keltie! 🙌🏻

[@KeltieOConnor]

Thank you for being along for the full ride over these years Vanessa! I truly do appreciate it 🩵

[@Pursuitsofmybookishheart]

I did 75 hard in 2024 and my biggest takeaway was that my body was so amazing. That I didn’t give it enough credit. And that under recovering was more a problem than over training. Furthermore, being someone who spent a major part of her life being sedentary, I was baffled that my body was in much more pain when I was sedentary than during the challenge. I really thought the hardest part of the 75 hard would be feeling sore. Turns out it was remembering to take the stupid picture 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jayambalayapapaya]

You're so great! I'm always so happy when I see you have a new video. Also, I'd love t see you doing a rock climbing challenge. My dad is super fit and always better at sports than I am, except for climbing because it requires a lot of flexibility and grip strength. Happy Holidays 💕

The vegan one… very true. I’ve been vegan for four years and the first two weeks or so I definitely did experience bloating and cramps and stuff from the extra fiber. But my body quickly got used to it and I love being vegan now

Keltie! this was super eye-opening! i’m just curious, what does your actual weekly workout routine consist of? you’ve done so many different challenges and methods of exercise and I’m just wondering what you actually return to?

Do you have a video on your stretching routine? I’m keen to see how you approached it

[@IreneI9601]

I’d love to try the stretching but the link doesn’t work.

I think I found you from the Tom Brady challenge, or maybe just before it! 🤩

Running for a year and running a marathon in your apt are prob the most epic in my opinion just for the crazy factor

Appreciate you being along this full journey with me 🩵🫶

I’d appreciate you reattempting the barefoot shoes challenge with the twist that they are used for everything except specialty exercises, such as running. Anecdotally, I find my barefoot shoes comfy for most activities relearning to use my toes in movement; however, for serious distances, I’ll be in my proper walking or running shoes still mentally remembering to use my toes.

Intermittent fasting has been a game changer for me

I'm new here! Is all the challenge that she is talking in some other videos for more info on each???

Be really careful while doing down dog, you are rounding your lower back and not keeping your curve in your lower spine. That explains your lower back problems and doing that will definitely make it worse! I don’t want you to be in pain! Love from another yogi 🧘‍♀️
