Emom workouts always make me sweat buckets. Sweating buckets is a good thing. 💪👍

Yes it IS! 😅

What a KILLER of an EMOM 🥵👌

You smashed it! 🙌

[@morriswick2494]

I must admit I hate cardio, especially tabata, and I hate emom too. I skipped this workout. So I did Day 12 instead but felt guilty when PJ congratulated the finishers. I went back to this workout. I'm proud I did it and fount it fun ! Come Santa Claus come, I deserve a present 🎅

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh!! I love this! So glad you went back and did it! Sometimes we need to include a little of what we don't love! Congratulations 🥳 🎖

[@janaross8186]

I said aloud, This ab EMOM brings me no joy." And then I got over myself and did it. And while it brought me no joy while doing it, I am joyful that I completed it. Have a great Wednesday...off to put some miles on the old Hokas!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

There you go! There is joy in the completion 😂 You rock Jana 🙌

[@janicemaloof556]

YES INDEED I DID ENJOY IT!!!!!! REALLY GOOD PJ!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Perfect 🤩

[@jburwinkel]

That was a great one! I subbed dead bug for the bicycle crunches. I have an insanely busy day ahead, so this really put me in "get it done mode"!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

The best Julie! 🙌

[@doloresmarple3913]

I loved this, but especially when the dogs bark because my Chihuahua loves to join in. Makes me wonder how many other dogs are barking with your video! 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I've wondered the same thing 😃

[@janemartian]

My dog Winston went ape**** too! Thanks again for a terrific and fun workout.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh Winston! 💕

[@cindyallard2022]

Killer ab workout indeed!! That was tough! Done though. I feel like I have a jump on the day. PJ is the best!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

And so are YOU 🤛

[@marygartrell5277]

This is such a great workout and I really found that the EMOM challenged me. PJ I appreciate your comments.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Mary! EMOMs ARE challenging ... and fun 🤩

[@granniepritchett8555]

Even when I'm tired, your workouts are always just what I needed! Thank you PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are on fire Margaret! 🔥

[@dr.sherrispeaks]

Sick and twisted and amazing and done! 👊🏼

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😜 Woohoo!

[@fayemcdonnell7288]

Wow this was a tough session!! Loved the tabata. Is such great fun if you’re not a cardio fan! Not gonna lie… am full of cold, so had to dig deep to finish 10 rounds of abs!! What a killer!! 😂 so glad I did it tho… feeling awesome, thanks PJ❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

That's tough with a cold! Glad you're feeling awesome now! 😃

[@JackieMitchell9]

Fantastic - a tough one but enjoyable at the same time and felt rejuvenated by the end. Thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful! 😃

[@staciemberton2565]

[@renmiddlebrook4583]

Day 11 in a row COMPLETE! And after we walked in the door at 9:45 after a long day of Christmas craziness...mom and I knew we had to get our workout in! Thank you PJ for inspiring us to stay on track. We don't *always* like you for it (10 rounds, what the heck woman??), but we sure do appreciate you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wow! That's a BIG effort! 🙌

[@Randi-i1q]

Whoa - got my sweat on today !! XO PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yess!! 🙌 😅

[@jburwinkel]

This is a very brutal workout, but I love it!! Thank you!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Brutal ... and you were all over it!! 💪

[@Randi-i1q]

Been a little lazy lately, so I tried to pump this up a little - and was able to do it. Thanks PJ - another great workout

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You probably needed the rest! 🙌

[@chrisostojic4131]

I'm a day behind but I'm going to finish tomorrow. Those 10 rounds were quite the challenge!!! Thanks, PJ!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Sooooo good Chris! 🙌

[@DeidraSchaub]

Holy cow that was challenging but great! A good one to take on the road with me!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay!!! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌

[@jeanetteweiler3448]

ooph... tough but do-able with the alternate PJ.. thank you as always, PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh yeah! 💪 🔥

[@rebeccakomarek4668]

Wore my 8-pound best and subbed side plank dips on knees for bicycle, as I can't twist. Really felt it in the arm with the plank/side taps. Love the bird dog prehab (and all the prehab exercises), but especially for the back, as I believe most over 50 need to strengthen their back muscles. Have loved the 12 Days of Christmas!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome Rebecca! I agree, our back muscles can get neglected in our modern lifestyle 😃

[@georgiecameron4007]

Day 11done ✔️ really enjoyed this sweaty workout pj even with the 10 rounds of killer abs I'm keeping this one 👍

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great stuff Georgie! 🙌

[@gayleselby1665]

Great workout, EMOMs are killer! I must need to do more!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So much fun!! 🤩

[@cathypenkala2688]

I’m a few days behind but will definitely finish tomorrow! Then I’m doing it all over again!!!❤️💚 Too funny that your dogs went “ape shit” at the delivery person. When my dog heard yours, he too went ape shit! Gotta love ‘em!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Gotta love 'em! 🐾

[@bohdanna68]

You killed me lol but I needed that. Must say it’s one of the hardest workouts I have done that you put together. 💪🏼

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woo! (there's more where that came from! 😉)

[@elsmurray9631]

Great workout I’m sweating that’s a good sign 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

[@emilycolby5629]

Better late than never! Had to miss yesterday but I did this very fun workout today! Bummed the challenge is almost over but all good things must come to an end.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yes they must! And these workouts will still be here for you afterwards 😃

[@VJump45]

Epic cardio workout PJ! I loved it.

[@VJump45]

Oh and yes. I'm 5 days behind....life and stuff

[@FitnesswithPJ]

No worries! The workouts are here when you are ready! 😃

The best, right? 🔥 💪 🙌

[@GrannyJ2akaArdiej]

Oh yeah!!

[@abigailsandham]

Great fun workout. X

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woohoo! 🙌

[@michelleelizabeth299]

That was totally awesome! I really wanted to challenge myself on Day 11 so I gave it all I had for the tabata section (totally dripping in sweat now!) and to make the ab section even tougher (as if 10 rounds of 3 moves wasn't hard enough) I did regular crunches during the break between sets. So my abs are completely done right about now :) Thanks for a great workout PJ- looking forward to tomorrow!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Look at you go Michelle! Awesome 🤩

[@tisatakesover1214]

Great workout!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@ginaquinton9410]

10 and 11 done. Wow just one more day. I ate more this challenge. Trying to build and maintain now. Loved it pj.

Great job Gina! 🙌

[@tereseisaacson6392]

hot damn that felt good ... to finish!! great way to break a sweat to start the day. 🥵haha. thanks PJ!

Great stuff Teresa! On fire 🔥

[@kellypantaleoni5166]

I will admit that by round seven of the ab sequence I was eye rolling a bit😂 But I made it! So thank you for pushing me outside my comfort zone.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

GREAT STUFF Kelly!! 💪

[@andreanewton3827]

Great workout don't even remember what we started with after the finisher!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! That's a good sign! 😃

[@maryvanbaal6675]

I did this workout on a very rainy day because I obviously won't get out to cross-country ski. My, but you had us work hard! Got most of the ab exercises done (for a couple of rounds I only got to 12 (not quite a 16 count) but did work to the end. Thanks for having us move optimally.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Perfect Mary! 🙌

[@jackiestrzelecki]

Good tuff workout!

[@YouCanCallMe_ThePro]

Tough but good, thank you

[@FitnesswithPJ]

The best way 🙏

[@andyherrick3265]

I don’t have wrist issues, but I was really feeling my wrists after the EMOM series (floor version). My wrists were saying ‘no thank you’ to the bird dog exercises, so I skipped them. Next time I’ll do the version on a bench. Thanks for the series-one more day to go! I feel stronger and accomplished.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Try forming a fist and resting on your fists, instead of a flat palm next time. Cheers!

[@kerrydavis8191]

Oh PJ, EMOM sounds so much fun but by round 7 it was tough to keep going. Heart rate up to 150 so a great calorie burner. Thanks for a challenging workout today!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great stuff Kerry! 🙌

[@marygartrell5277]

I am behind but doing them as I can. I got the crude and I now back in the game. This was a great workout and I was feeling it towards the end of each segment! Thank you Pj

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Mary! 👏 🙌

[@madelinebayard7801]

Not a fan of cardio but I surprised myself today and got thru it all. Thanks for the reminders for form durning the plank tap outs PJ!

So welcome Madeline! 🔥

[@ewaller1892]

I may not have done round seven…but I joined in again round eight! And yes my dogs went mental as well 😂 thanks PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way to go! 😃

[@lezlier.6679]

Great workout! Probably didn’t get as winded as everyone else during the ab rounds because I just did the legs for my bicycles. I don’t do upper body crunches with diastasis recti and umbilical hernia but my legs were going strong and I upped it to 12.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Making it work for you!! Great stuff Leslie! 😃 🙌

[@stiofaininnichlerigh8168]

Wowwww seriously good fun almost caved in when you said 10 rounds I was there aaaaaaa no lol but I knew if I didn't do it I'd be kicking myself lol Cheers PJ Your truly amazing for keeping us all fit for Xmas Steph 🇮🇪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hi Steph! YOU . DID . IT !!! ☺️

[@lisapv5698]

Wow! what a killer! Love it though it was not that long. I tried to challenge myself all time . Thx u.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this! 🙌

[@mandylloyd6750]

Loved this workout! I can do anything for 20 seconds, and only 8 reps of each ab move?! Of course! I couldn't quite get the sitting double-crunch on the chair, so I did low impact high knees like a standing crunch. It worked for me this morning. =)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Mandy! Yes - we can do anything for 20 seconds! 😃

[@debbie5451]

Working through some pain so had to modify but it was still a great workout! Side note: my Bella heard your dogs barking and went ape Sh!t as well😀

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I think we had a chorus of dogs around the world!! 😃

[@melaniechrisrosales7674]

Great workout! I didn’t think I could finish the ab EMOM but when you tell us it’s hard for you too, it motivates me so much! ❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

We got this Melanie! 🙌

[@eileenstone9066]

Great, although I needed a break mid EMOM. I came back tho, and next time all through!

Way to go Eileen! Keep on keepin' on!! 😃

“Struggling a bi?!” You’re a funny girl PJ! 😅 Thank you, that was an awesome day 11

Forgot about the killer abs in this workout pj 🤪 but still enjoyed being treated to this one again 👍

[@FitnesswithPJ]

It's nice to be 'surprised' again 😃

[@Sirelai]

Excellent workout. You never disappoint. By round four, I started to feel tension on both of my wrists; any advice on how to avoid this tension?

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wrist strength will improve ... you can try using a chair/bench to raise the level of the exercise and reduce strain on your wrists 😀

[@klaurvick4501]

Day 11! I'm in patron w you so not sure if or where I can ask my question: I'm 63.5 and had hip replacement surgery almost 2 years ago. Two months after that, I ended up in a 11-12 hr desk job and has only now rescued to 9-10 hrs. I did the ap workout on a chair. I could do the mountain climbers and toe tap but cannot lift the surgery leg for the bicycle move! I've been working out with you since you started your 21-day challenge (have done it 3 times). Wondering if you have tips besides "keep going!" which I will of course do! Thank you!
