5AM FULL WEEK OF WORKOUTS + WHAT I EAT | my upper & lower body routine to gain strength & confidence

[@briannamonique16]

Love that you have the respect to blur other peoples face but also bodies! I’m always so self conscious at the gym thinking I’ll end up in the background of someone’s KZbin video and get made fun of. Lol

[@fatimazohrazahid7981]

Is this for loosing weight and maintaining muscle?

[@STAR393]

I’m a cardio, hiker , running lover. I tend to feel lost when I do weights but you make it easy to follow and incorporate them into my work outs.

[@EmilyOsmund]

So underrated I have no idea how she doesn’t have a million subscribers already

[@lesterdale7276]

The most impressive thing for me in this videos is how amazingly organized you are, I am sure that makes your life so much easier.

[@lialongtime1156]

I just found you!! I absolutely love your aesthetic and that you don’t ramble. So raw and real!! Will be staying and getting comfy on your side on the internet!!

[@cari_bo_berry3099]

Just a side note but I absolutely love that you respect other people's privacy and blur them out in the background! Thank you for being considerate ❤

[@cari_bo_berry3099]

Your workouts are amazing ty for the content!!!

[@arkhamsangelx1424]

Thanks for the workout motivation also a big YES from me for blurring out everyone's faces it makes me so self conscious at the gym wondering if I'm in the back of people's videos unknowingly

[@AnneJolievDijken]

Girl I saw you for the first time with a tiktok on my for you page, then I found out that you had a youtube channel, and then I started loving your content more and more! I just started my healthy and fitness lifestyle, and you are such motivation and inspiration! I hope to have a podcast of you one day for when Im in the gym, I would absolutely love that! Keep doing you, take rest, and keep going, love you! ❤️

[@EmilySanchez-xh9rq]

No pain no gain 💪🏾 you are a true inspiration to keep workout and thriving 💯❤️All Love ova here ❤️

[@sweetpotato_]

dude so much respect for blurring out people’s faces at the gym! i thought none of the fitness influencers did that until i came to your channel. thank you

[@asiaisreal7302]

Inspired to definitely stretch more, organize my meals better and be more consistent with once a week HIIT. All humans are linked and if you can do it so can I. I work nightshift, am a single parent of two and just started learning to code but health is the greatest wealth and I can definitely tighten up my process. Again thanks I am inspired.

[@briantbmoth6472]

Me too minus the kids.

[@moochieb1209]

You take such good care of yourself. It really makes me think how I can change the relationship I have with myself and how I can do a better job of showing up for me.

[@candice44441]

Thank you for respecting people’s privacy at a public place like the gym. I often see content creators crossing privacy boundaries.

[@mattcler7849]

This somewhat (raw footage) with no commentary and no music for every point of the video is actual really nice to watch.

[@TheKnowledgeCrusade]

Is there a 'like' button for infinity? Because that's how much I adore your posts

[@RayBabes]

I love how you just powered through all your workouts even at home 🔥 you make me want to stay more consistent in the gym ‼️ you look amazing ❤️‍🔥

[@Morgan-lg4km]

not only did you provide amazing content, but you were so respectful the entire time by wearing a mask and blurring out the people in the back. definitely subbing :)

[@girlygirl402]

I love how KZbinrs go to the gym like it’s their job‼️ putting that time towards something productive and inspiring❣️👏🏼☀️🙌🏻💯

[@SantiagoTM1]

What I most respect about Lady Melanie Patricia Cruz is that she trains all by herself. Ppl, don't have an idea just how hard that truly is. Her dedications to all aspects of her lifestyle is a thing of beauty to watch. Notice the zero selfies? As a Boxing Trainer & Educator, we all wish for students & athletes just like her. Now, her #1 Fan from afar.

[@cynterfold1908]

Melanie you motivate me on so many levels! All your videos are so calming, zen, and motivational! Keep ‘em coming lil sis!!! ♥️

[@mvgoldie]

[@alyssasherie7747]

Idk how I came across your KZbin but your Channel is very comforting and I can relate to your vibe. Keep it going!

[@palmtrees.k]

I like how realistic this is and respect to blurring out others in the gym

[@yesta]

Same exact body shape as me...!!! how is this possible..in the thousands of fitness KZbinrs I've watched, I could never find one even remotely similar to me. Thank you so much for your channel!!! You're making me love my body, you are stunning!!

[@ccmcclinton6138]

Because social media is over saturated with fitness gurus with the same body type (large butt+ impossibly tiny waist) or who paid for their body

[@alchemissss]

WOW Melanie, you are a huge inspiration to me, to say the least. Watching your growth for the past years has been so beautiful and I am so proud of you. Thank you for being you and sharing that with the world.

[@andrewmcgee4146]

[@Jasmine-ho9iz]

This really inspired me today! Recently I’ve been having really bad insomnia. I usually work out at 6AM every day but my routine has been suffering because of how exhausted I am. But if u can do it with such consistency I know I can too! This video really pushed me to get back on track and give my fitness my all 💜

[@7002164]

[@ultranina13]

Out of all the workout videos I've seen, this one motivates me the most

[@TheShannonAdawn]

Your hard work and dedication is truly inspiring. Thanks for a sneak peak into your wonderful world of fitness. I’m inspired to get my ass up early and sweat :)

[@ashleytrue7678]

I love how real this is!! I’ll have to try and follow this routine!

[@DexterMag-aso]

this is truly commendable, and the insights into your upper and lower body routine for strength and confidence are inspiring! It brings back memories of the profound teachings from my life coach, Lisa Haisha, during her impactful retreat in the Philippines. Both your fitness journey and Lisa's wisdom serve as a constant source of inspiration on my path to greatness.

[@dshine2020]

[@alirebollo8]

I’m really never the type to write anything on a KZbin video, but let me just tell you I love your video I’m a new subscriber it was so peaceful, so calm. I didn’t skip at all. I’m not really a fan of people just talking & talking, or the back ground noise. Keep up the good work bae ❤

[@cierrabarron]

Girl you moviate me so much and I love you your now my comfort youtuber

[@ninisoliz03]

Absolutely love this!!! Me: takes out a notebook and writes down whole workout routine!!! Thanks Mel ❤️❤️❤️

[@kalynnowens]

More videos like this?? Have them up while on the treadmill, feeling inspired!

[@LindsayWallace]

I really love your Sweat Day concept!!🔥 I recently added a 6th day to my routine, I’ve been running 2-3 miles and then abs. Low key though, I think I enjoyed watching your sweat day more. 😍 Might have to steal the idea and incorporate it into my own routine! I’ll save the distance runs for shoulder day maybe 🤔 Great video Mel, your killing it 💯❤️‍🔥

[@alyf.6698]

love your vlogs!!! makes me motivated to workout :D i wake up and im like UGH 6am but it feels so good after.

[@cheryls.booker3336]

Omg. Your body is like a well- oiled machine! This is my 1st time watching your videos and it’s amazing what you can do with your body. I noticed how you stretch abs warm up pre work out to keep your muscles flexible and lean. I will be incorporating that into my routine as well.
