[vlei68]

[ultracapacitor]

I love her method!

[81HappyCat]

wish this didn't have all the marching in place.

[CBH]

is there a advance video for this workout? I have been doing this 20 dumbell workout for about 6 months. and I need more challenge. thanks you!

[nerdupyo]

Sparkpeople is the best! Thanks for this great workout :)

[hahachickenbutt]

this is my favorite workout. it makes me really feel the burn!

[chubu]

What a gorgeous woman, Nicole. Thank you

[frankwilliams987]

I only had 5 lb weights when I started. It's ok to start small, that way you can concentrate on your form.

My chest didn't improve very much from doing normal push-ups, but once I started doing push-ups against a counter (even easier than your knees!) I could concentrate on flexing and using my chest muscles and I started to see improvement.

[LuckyGirl7K]

Oh yeah, this video is a definite keeper.

[RandomAdam5]

I love this video... Is it weird I rather watch a female then a male guide me through exercises and I am a male!

[MikiAlbatou]

I can't do those exercises with the legs lifting up with your body on the side straight cause I'm hispanic and I have big hips. I just wobble so it's kinda stupid.

[x0xgossax0x]

are these videos for toning the body? or is it just cardio?

[liveryservice]

I dont think its a cardio because I cant find it when I try to put it in as a cardio routine. I do find it when I try to put it in as a strength trainer.

[usa91nick]

I find it best to do the dumbell workout, then the 15 min ab workout, then the butt blasting workout back to back.

[liveryservice]

I do the same, except I dont do the butt blaster. I do a cardio work out from exercise tv online. Has decent music.

[usa91nick]

this is usa91nick again

This is day 19 for me; Im starting to get contours of abs. and Im getting kinda tone. For reference I am currently 6'1, 150 lb.

[sk8ingandcoke4life]

im 13, is 15 pounds too heavy? cuz like i feel they r light, people say they r too heavy for me, stunt my growth

[thierry11111]

i recently got some of a weight that felt easy to me. so i went a bit crazy with them thinking i was the strong man. however the next morning i woke with THE stiffest, most painful arms ever. so my advise is to start small and build your way up. you got to be carefull.

[usa91nick]

if you dont think its too much, then it prolly isnt. and you only have to worry about growth stunt if its really heavy like 30 or somtin like that.

[ZDude5]

nice my 4th time doin this :)

[usa91nick]

I decided a week ago to start this excercise routine once a day; so far I feel really good and I actually look forward to doing the exercise each day. and by doing 20 min a day 7 days a week, I am doing over two hourse of excersize a week :). Ill prolly do this twice back to back each day in future. Thanks alot

[kellyilla]

Awesome video. I just had a c-section birth 7weeks ago and need to get back in shape. So far, this video is working for me. :-)

[CAGIRL6]

I think this video is great because it does a lot of exercises that are the same that is in yoga tapes. I sure will use this

[CBH]

great video, i use this at least three times a week

[G6waGirl]

ok so i know she uses different sizes of dumbbells but i only have 1kilo set, is that good enough?

[jakebrown1234]

thanks a lot im doing it everyday and im starting to feel a change just in 2 days!

[bluetears28]

What a workout. I really enjoyed that.

[xr100biach]

woo go grant ur the tough one...just go to the gym and work ur self silly then rest the next day..it's what i do

[l337z0r]

Don't do weight training if you're young, because you are still growing and it interferes with it.

[GametubeProductions]

Weight trainning is recommeded for people able to excericise. ANYONE can do it. and no it doesn't the Excericise my Body Science figured out that doing Nicole's Excerices Daily for 20-50 minutes Makes average body height, weight and increases time span till puberty.

[IdrilSilmaure]

This video is so cool. I am going to start doing this every day now.

[gearsofwarmega]

axxxhale.

[negitivezero7]

Is 400 reps with a 15 lb dumbbell too much?

[bronhi]

It is if it's for one exercise. You might need to up your weights if you're not feeling it. You should be exerting your muscles.

[jakkowakko567]

why does coach Nicolle remind of snow white??

[Shikyou]

HAH now that you mention it she does look like Snow White lol... Its the hair, hairband and the skintone

[frankwilliams987]

this is really good but a word of warning about the tricep kickbacks (5:10)... be careful! don't lock your elbows when doing it!!!

[Rosapsico]

(cont. answer to shaneinboro)>>you should look for some safier and easier alternative exs that don't push too hard on your knees. In this case it's better for you not to use the weights at all when squating, and then you can repeat the same exercise for your harms with the weights but without squating. Hope this heps you out ;)

[shaneinboro]

im 14 and i get sore knees when i bend them but it isnt cause of the exercise it just happens automatically. any ideas?

[lynda578]

It's a great workout and covers the major muscle groups. Perfect length of time too!

[whizkidforte]

This is absolutely good to follow along! I like how you guys at Spark People interjected a Pilates move or two in the session! I'm getting ready for prom and you're a big help to me! Thanks for the post!!! :D

[mashoke2]

good video, good for everyone

[mashoke2]

this workout is really good, it target most of the muscle group.

[pasdebourree]

Been trying to do this workout on days when I am not at ballet class - it's really pleasant - I enjoy it.

[EUR0BAYBIE217]

hmm guna have to try this out

[cabywaby]

nice gotta try this out too

[SpankRamen2]

You know what makes this exercise even better? Have some of your own music playing in the background, but not so loud that you can't hear her talk. That makes it more fun! At least it does for me.

[SpankRamen2]

I totally love SP. I have lost 10 pounds so far & I am working hard to lose even more. God Bless SparkPeople!

[naturallyhoneyblonde]

great job keep up the good work i am trying to lose 10 pounds of post baby fat lol my baby's two years old

[powen49]

This an excellent video, not only does it demonstrate all of the exercises, but it shows them at three levels of fitness! best of all it is free, if you haven't already, join Spark People, you won't regret it

[Camelskull]

good job

[grotonskater]

I love this work-out! I do it at least once a week.

[nicolelovesgod2]

Another great SP video!

[hypothalmusless]

Great lunchtime workout. Hope to see more from SparkPeople in 2008!

[mixindave1]
