    When I started working out and my knees hurt, this was the video that made me feel like it might all be okay in awhile. Few months later and my knees haven't broken and no longer hurt. Still working on stronger legs. Leg day today.

    I tried another trainer's lower body lunge-free routine, but it bothered my hips and knees a lot. Yours challenged me, but there was no pain. So thank you, THANK YOU, Amy! What a gift!

    This short, very doable exercise is wonderful, especially for beginners or people with SI joint pain like myself. It makes exercise feel less overwhelming and discouraging than going to the gym or committing to a 45 minute workout. You're encouragement is spot on and really kept me pushing through the side leg lifts, which are the most difficult for me. Can't wait to check out more of your videos

    Ow, ow! I sure felt this one--in a good way. I don't mind squats, and lunges are OK (though I can't bend too far), but this was great! As I shared on my SparkPeople teams: From beginner on up, you will get a lot out of this one. Only equipment is a chair (optional) for balance. Recommended!

    For the past 2 months i’ve have a horrible RA flare up in both my knees. I’m a volleyball player so spending the summer inside with ice packs on my knees and not on a sand court has been horrible for my moral to play in the upcoming fall season. Even with covid, my district has allowed the fall sports season to take place, so i’m desperate to get in shape to hopefully make the team. This workout made me sad because I’m used to doing intense cardio and stuff and now I can’t even do a jump squat. Starting off small now until my flare up calms down, so thank you for this workout!

    Thank you so much for having a true low impact workout. I have patellofemoral syndrome which makes it very hard to do lunges and squats. This is far more manageable but still makes a difference.

    I did this after one of your upper body videos and it was amazing! I confess I was skeptical about actually burning calories with this one, but I could really feel the burn and my heart rate was staying up. This is so encouraging for me as I've injured my knee and need to avoid squats and lunges for a while.

    I really enjoyed this work out. I can still do squats and shallow lunges but I somedays the knees can’t take it. This is an excellent, challenging but still very accessible work out for anyone that has any kind of stiffness or sore knees. I stumbled across your channel looking for a beginners core work out and since I found you I haven’t looked back! Love your instruction and encouragement but also your focus (you aren’t too chatty). Keep up the great work!

Your directions are easy to follow, I like that you let us know what muscles are being worked, or where we should be feeling the move. And I love your range of modifications & that you demonstrate them all. Thank you for another fantastic routine & for the encouragement of exercisers at all fitness levels. You rock!

    It's important to give your muscles time to rest and regenerate. I'd say two times a week with two rest days between. Ideally, you'd train other muscles groups on those rest days.
