So many aerobics for beginners are 1) way too fast and 2) way too difficult to follow the steps. This video is just right for beginners. It's a good pace, her instructions are clear and easy to follow, there are no squats and there is no jumping, and it's FUN! I thought at fist it was too easy but by the end I had worked up a good sweat and was breathing hard. The time flew by!

[@Instructorlive]

What lovely feedback! ❤😅

[@zahrahek7896]

It's not It's too confusing I the second half 🥲

[@donnagail4409]

I agree too fast, so I just set my pace fast and try to keep moving. I have never been good at the two-step or line dancing. I think it's more about keeping yourself moving. I like the exercises.

[@amacmti]

I'm a teenager of the 90s and I was feeling sluggish I turn this on and just got into it thanks phenomenal 😎 Good memories.

[@jeremyhicks4468]

Great. As a 64 year old man who used to ( 25 + years ago ) go to many aerobic classes, workout with weights and still practice martial arts, I've been finding it very frustrating trying to get back into aerobic exercises. The mind still thinks I'm as fit as I was, the body knows different. This class was a perfect restart, the tutor is personable and clear in her instruction and the workout was just right for me. Demanding enough to feel like I was having to try, aerobically and mentally, but not so hard that I felt disheartened. I'll definitely be taking this class again, and hopefully moving on to more advanced sessions. Thanks.

[@BangkokHotelReviews]

I hear you. I guess I'm young compared to you. I'm 50 now. But I also used to enjoy aerobics when I was much younger and now that I lived in Thailand, the language barrier definitely presents a used problem in aerobics classes. Same as you, my mind thinks I'm very young, but my body says different. It was nice to get back into Aerobics again today.

[@AnimatingOwl]

Finally a beginner cardio workout that is actually understandable and at a normal pace. I could only do 15 minutes today since I don9t have much space for the double steps and also my legs hurt really badly after my intense workout from the past 2 days. Still good! Will definitely do this daily for a while, not planning on doing the full thing immediately as I am obese and trying to lose weight, therefore I need my body to get used to all the sudden workouts😅

[@debbiemertens6842]

After months of trying to find an aerobics that I am comfortable with and can improve upon without feeling uncomfortably hot and sweaty, this is perfect, loving it, not too hard and gives me a boost going to start going through them all.

[@Instructorlive]

Thats so great to hear. Carlie is a great Instructor.

[@denisbeunard3216]

I will definitively take aerobics sesion with Instructor line. She is really good to explain how to do and she is not making the course full of "bla bla" to keep her audience. She is just perfect. Love it !

[@dancinggarden]

I'm 79 years old and do regular exercise. This was perfect for me. I kept my heart rate up and got in some good ab work. Thank you so much! Marcia from Berkeley, California

[@Saleh.Alabbas]

Wow.. I'm almost 50 with no movement except going to work. My first time to exercise in years and I barely finished 15 minutes. It's really inspiring to read your comment.

[@andyerroa6393]

I want 80 90s aerobics to make a big come back!!!

[@shortymcfly3110]

ditto

[@iamSketchH]

YES! I used to LOVE doing aerobics in college. Lost 25 pounds that way and finally reached my ideal weight--and it was so much fun. But now, I can't find a gym that offers just normal aerobics like this. It's all "zumba" or "combat fitness," or some other weird aerobics replacement that does technically qualify as an "aerobic" exercise, without being specifically traditional aerobics. Bring back regular aerobics!

[@Challenger2A7]

​@@iamSketchH Yep! My thoughts exactly! I was thinking I must be the only one who felt like that. There's nothing so good, in my humble opinion, as good old-fashioned aerobics. No gimmicks really helped my weight like aerobics.

[@smykkane]

💜💜💜 could not agree more.

[@Kayavod]

@@iamSketchH I agree so much. The only person I know who still gives these classes is my old instructor and I moved away, so I can't go there. But I watch him on social media and I wish so hard I could take his classes again.

[@GardenGirlD76]

This is great! Way to keep the UK fit and thanks sharing across the globe for all.

[@jillk1841]

Thank you so much…simple but effective. I used 2lbs weights & got good workout. Im sure to feel it tomorrow. ❤ Jill Ottawa, Canada. God bless you all in yr aim for healthy living.

[@manjaeliane]

Good exercise and great explanation! I am 52 years old, a beginner and Dutch but it was easy to follow so my compliments

[@aluna_m888]

I have done this exercises watching tv just to see how difficult it is. I have ms and some exercises cause me pain in my head; but not this one. This was amazing!!! I’m feeling great!!!

[@linaabadir6745]

Very very nice I enjoyed it got to sweat at home after putting 3 kids to bed - no guilt for not moving in my day ! Super thanks

[@sycyla]

Day 1 of trying this aerobics class. Instructions were clear and understandable. I didn't realise how unfit i had gotten over the last few years. Going to push to do this daily until i can complete the whole thing. Only got as far as knee raises today

[@sycyla]

Day 2 - did the grape vine section.

[@AnnLewis-lb1rq]

Just found this exercise video simple and effective. Good job instructor you're a good teacher. You have encouraged me to get up and go daily. Thank you

[@Instructorlive]

That’s great to hear Ann 😊❤

[@astrid9629]

Thank you very much. Easy but also demanding. I enjoyed it very much.

[@lakshmipriya8514]

[@Instructorlive]

Thank you for the lovely feedback ❤

[@neilevans7155]

Another excellent NHS video. Well done to all concerned.

[@cdipsingh]

I found your channel today. I cant tell you how happy I am. Ive always been too uncoordinated to do aerobics classes in public without feeling excessively self conscious. Im so so so grateful for this workout! ♡♡♡♡

[@Instructorlive]

Glad you found out videos. Carlie has lots more you can try on KZbin and our website. 😅

[@UIV7096]

Just what I was looking for since the whole pandemic I was very active and felt great until this whole issue in 2020 now I’m ready to kick those negative feelings and get back to a brand new me! Thank you !!

[@lucymacbride8287]

I'm with you on that. God luck to all of us who will follow this video. Xx

[@annettegenovesi]

This is satisfying for me. Not too many of the same simple moves and lots of add on's to keep the brain in gear. Nice, pleasant young lady with good encouragement. Thank you ; really feel like my goals were accomplished here.

[@Instructorlive]

That’s lovely feedback Annette ❤

[@adelinaignacio2872]

Thank you so much for your teachings excersise for us love you lady beautiful!!!🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@rachaelm6556]

Really enjoyed this intro to aerobics - I haven't done a lot of cardio lately, so this was a great way of easing back into it. Thanks for a great start to my morning!

[@지니쌤의럭셔리광장운]

I'm South-Korea aerobics teacher. your video help me well. Thanks

[@BangkokHotelReviews]

That was great fun. It was easy enough to follow. I missed a few steps here and there but I'm sure I'll nail it after a week of following along. Thank you.

[@doloressicat7911]

Thanks for this aerobics exercise, it really helps me a lot. ❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@Amy2kool]

Aerobics is my favourite type of workout and just loved this. Feeling amazing after ages. Got a bit confused in the middle with the mix ups and was happy with the stretching and toning at the end. Lovely music. Thank you

[@Instructorlive]

❤

[@elichal]

Great workout! Thank youu! 😍

[@evelyndeperez6449]

I enjoyed this so much. Got me motivated again to keep fit. Will join in many times now. Great instructor too and very nice and friendly. Thank you so much

[@AmmyMemory]

I was once a hard workout person, but not now. I returned to try HIIT with no jumping but it ended as I almost faint. So now, I've to find something that is lightlybut not too light to recover my strength first, and I found this vdo. I LOVE how there is no jumping as my right foot previously has a bit pain, and still now. And the instruction isextremely clear, steps are very easy to follow. I like that you provided options for each step, I followed all the hardest except when it comes to abs exercise at the end. At first, I planned to play another kettlebell exercise, but when there is an abs exercise her, so, it's all good for today, haha. Thanks a lot for your clip!!

[@JeanetteBeaulieu]

I love this so much! She is so enthusiastic and clear! I have been so couch bound during Covid and was worried about getting back into an exercise routine. This is surprisingly doable, even for someone like me who has really let fitness fall by the wayside. Thank you so much!

[@Instructorlive]

❤😊

[@ForGodsglory77]

Loved this exercise, did the whole 45 minutes after a long work week 😀

[@lifeavoidit]

Very good workout with great advice during the class. Kept the heart rate up while keeping me moving and working all areas of the body.

[@annettegenovesi]

I loved it too. At first it gave me all these aches and pains, but soon I was feeling GOOD!

[@kamarvika]

2 Jan 2022, I just did it after huge meal....feel so good, this low impact aerobic perfect and suitable for me....please bring her back love this COACH !!!🥰🥰🥰

I love it. Easy to follow the steps. Thanks!

[@Hair8Metal8Karen]

I was looking for a workout that won't kill my knees and decided to give this a go. It is absolutely what I was looking for! Friendly instructor, well explained and easy on your joints!

[@Instructorlive]

Carlie is a great instructor, glad you enjoyed 😊

[@roncoffman119]

Thank you for the wonderful instructions. A wish for many blessings.

[@LubnaKhalid-qd7lh]

Great exercise ❤Thank you so much ❤❤

[@lalicoca1844]

Thank you so much for this video! It is easy at first and a bit harder in the next part, so you do have some challenge at the end ; It does not require a lot more than your computer and your willingness to do it and the prof is super clear and seems really nice. I am glad to have found this video to start again to do some sports :D

[@lalicoca1844]

And above all it was fun!

[@KasturiNaidoo-g7c]

Thank u, love to explaining in detail, easy to follow

[@kimberlyakins80]

🎉🎉🎉Love the video

[@royalhighs8465]

Love this thank you God bless ❤

[@azarzargarnia7114]

Everything was excellent. You walked us through every movement step by step. Great coaching! Just a couple of things: 1) the music was loud and sometimes I missed the tips you were saying. 2) the cooldown was harder than the exercise itself! it required much more flexibility than I was expecting.

[@SusanPrevost]

That was really good (says my 73 year old body)! 😊😊

[@lauraaltieri520]

This is a great session, thank you!!! 🙏🏻🤗

[@marialuzmaytorena7095]

I really appreciate it. It was a fenomenal workout ❤

[@AmandaMiller-bn1vv]

I have zero rhythm but I’m going to give this a try!

[@mandy7641]

Excellent thanks! Wish I'd discovered this sooner 😁

[@Instructorlive]

Never to late Mandy 😊

[@akua768]

I so love this work out. Another session under my belt!

[@SufiyaSufi-q2c]

Very very nice video

[@lilibethmelendes3157]

🎉 I’m starting today thanks

[@hardboiledbellyfluff]

I struggled to follow this as a first timer. The beat was slightly out of sync with out movements and focusing on that and that transitions was a bit much. As an intro for a bigger person, this was a bit much but I'm going to master this routine and put it to me own music so I can keep with the beat.

[@florhoffmann2873]

I enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@whynotyou7]

Excellent 💎💎💎

Very good ❤❤❤❤🎉

[@aditisharma1508]

THANKYOU😊🙏

[@jessierae4392]

Was amazing! Best workout I've ever found! Just what I was looking for. How would I find videos by this specific instructor?

[@hannaglimberg1127]

Carlie is a great instructor! Just wish there would be a next level session available as this was a bit too basic for my taste.

[@annettegenovesi]

That's why it's listed under BEGINNER category Hanna.

[@lecitroen]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHTFgI2vgcqEpbM The intermediate version

[@3rr0r.4.0.4]

This was so confusing for me but I definitely felt a good burn

[@Instructorlive]

Feel the burn in the body 😅and the more you do it the easier on the brain it will be 🧠

[@notedoyminombre6662]

This is very nice and I'm grateful, but my bladder leakage worsens. How can I modify the exercise? Thanks...

[@madeleinegrayson8372]

A bit long for an actual beginner but it's nice to see old school aerobics making a comeback.

[@SherifatSuliemon-lw6ls]

Nice one.

[@madhavijuikar3226]

It was wonderful exercise after a long time, enjoyed it very much n thank you so much .

[@HerrEngelsman]

Is there much application is this for learning to dance? Fitness intentions aside. Looking to learn to dance and I thought moving/mirroring aerobics might be a good start?

[@Instructorlive]

Aerobics is great for coordination and picking up a routine. So yes, it’s a great start into dance for sure.

[@anacond21]

Very well made, very useful training. Could it be that the video playback speed is faster than real time? So I have to set it to 0.75, but then it's a little too slow. Thank you for checking!

[@nickychambers3196]

These videos are amazing

[@yevheniia.yevtukh]

Thanks for this great session! It was amazing!!

[@onnyindarto9209]

Pls make some various aerobic videos. I like the way you guide us and easy to follow.

[@iksde8285]

It was pretty complicated for me but kinda fun too. It requires good coordination and a lot of space. Next time I'll try "Wake-up workout 45 minutes"
