I have been lifting for 35+ years and I work hard to push myself. Osteoporosis runs in my family(maternal and paternal) so I know I must take care of my bones and muscles. I am 51 and recently went to get a hip looked at. The Dr told me I have the skeleton of a teenager. (Tendons, not so much, lol). Thank you Chris for helping all of us stay healthy. Toned and strong is the new skinny!! ❤

Love working out with CHRISTINA DORNER,KZread channel.THE BEST !

Great workout today for me (Saturday 02.12.23). Using heavier weights but this will make you smile, I have to keep putting my glasses on to see the value of the weights as now I have more black dumbbells I cannot red them without the glasses 😂. Sign of old age! Thank you Chris for making me smile today

I enjoyed this class again this morning! I really like the exercises with an ab combo and loved the AMRAP at the end. Hope you’re enjoying your time off ❤

I need to make breakfast with my tippy toes because I can’t use my arms! I really loved this class. Thanks Chris

WooHoo! I did it! Glory! Hallelujah!!

Happy to say that I have finally been able to go up in weights!!! Thanks, Chris for your inspiration.

I did this yesterday, and i was not okay.😂 I used to think that doing a workout, meant I had burn a minimum of 500-800 calories. If I didn't, then that meant it wasn't an effective workout or I just didn't work hard enough. That's why I didn't do strength workouts for a long time. Little did I know that these strength workouts would become a pivotal point in my health journey. Not only is cardio more effective, but I'm able to do everyday things like carrying groceries and even getting up from the couch a LOT easier.😅 Sweat and high calorie burn is not always an indicator of an effective workout.

LOVED all that back and core work. I didn't want to do the final AMRAP set but I decided to increase my weights and that made it worthwhile.

Did this one again. Great workout. Love your classes and ability to pick out what I feel like doing today instead of having to do what the gym has to offer on a particular day. I've been working out to your classes since Covid and can report feeling stronger and more in shape than i've ever been. Thanks, Chris!

Redid this awesome dumbell only upper body & ab class for my 1st workout in 2024!

Excellent upper body work out however probably should not have done it prior to bedtime last evening....wasn't able to fall asleep until after 2 a.m. Thank you, Love and Light ❤

I really enjoyed this workout so much! I liked alternating between upper body and abs. The ending was so challenging 😅. Thank you Chris!

Just caught up with this one, it wasn’t until near the end that I realise I had done it before. It’s true what you say that you can pick any workout and there is a good chance you won’t remember it.😂😂. I absolutely loved this one, my arms were shaking by the end. Thank you Chris. Xx

I know I worked my full upper body with this one because there were weights everywhere 😅 I remembered this one from last year because it made me want to visit NYC again! 🤗 Thanks for reposting for us. Hope you are feeling better soon 🩷💐

Loved the AMRAP at the end. Thank you!!

Having a discussion with my husband (big Seinfeld fan) afterward. He says “The Answering Machine” reference is “tippytoe” and because I have young kids the Sing 2 reference is “tippytoeS”. The dance teacher is singing “let me see your tippytoes!” 😂 I love your movie quote and tv show references. They keep me from staring at the timer and make the workouts fly by!

Thanks for another excellent arm and abs workout. Really got me in the holiday season!

TGIF! I woke up with no motivation to get my workout done. My workouts are a habit and I'm consistent so with low motivation I was able to just power through. I have a minor tweak in my lat/shoulder area so I went a lot lighter than I normally go and modified a few things. This was the first morning my dog didn't bark at Louie. I'm not sure if he had low motivation, too, or has given up trying to make Louie his friend 😂😂 thanks for always posting workouts for the week, even when it's a replay! I like having the week planned out. You are incredible, Chris!

Did this over the weekend and wow! What a great workout! My shoulders say Thanks!

Took me twice as long with interruptions from a 2 year old, then smashed my thumb with my weights at the end 😢 but I enjoyed the conversation and the workout! Getting stronger 💪 😊

This was quite the workout!! Love the 45 seconds and 30 second intervals. Trying to go heavier on weights. Started at 5 lbs back in March and now am doing 20 lbs as my heavy weight. Love the progress. Thanks Chris! And to add more arm strength training, I had to shovel my way out yesterday morning. Winter has come too early.

This was a great workout! It was actually one of my cardio days, but I decided to do strength instead- something I NEVER thought I would choose! I was definitely a cardio queen, and would dread doing weights- they always seemed boring and I would burn fewer calories doing them. I started working out with you nearly 2 years ago, and did only your step classes, but thanks to your (constant) encouragement in your videos to do strength training , I challenged myself to do one strength video a week. Now I’m up to 3- and I actually look forward to them!! Thank you for being so encouraging and for giving us so many videos to choose from!!

Great workout! I must have been working less last year, since I think I was there for that one. (I thought as I get older I'm supposed to work less, but I'm doing the opposite) Loved the workout, the last 15 minutes were killer., but I did it and didn't have to move down in weight. (9's to 15) Good for me! Thanks Chris, and feel better. People have been dragging with colds for weeks. They seem to linger longer.

This is one of my favourites, fun to do again ❤

Did this after redoing ur Australian advanced step from 2 yrs ago. Loved it!! Thanks sm!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Great arm workout. And I know I did more weight this time because my heaviest weights last year at this time were 10 pounders. Since I have added 12s, 15s and 20s. Getting stronger every day thanks to cdornerfitness!

So great! I know I did this one before (only because I remembered you talking about the NYC dance troupe) but I have no idea why it wasn't saved in my repeat folder. This whole video is all my favorite moves! I loved it. I really like when you do an AMRAP section that goes by time, not by counting movements. I feel like when we count movements (like do each rep 10 times or whatever) I fall behind and then get all off. With the timed segments it doesn't matter if I go a little slower than you. Anyway, this was great! Thank you!

I absolutely LOVE this video. The compound core stability exercises are AMAZING. Love love love the 35 and 45 sec sets bc I can go slower and heavier. I do have a question. 15 lbs for bi is too light for me and 20 too heavy. I don’t have 17s but would be perfect. Do I really need to get them or is there some other way I can slowly build up to 20?

@CDornerFitness

8 ай бұрын

Thank you so much!! Great question, and there are a couple things you can do. You can sometimes use the 20s but alternate arms if we are doing both arms, that will slowly get you stronger to use them. OR..not what you want to hear, but, yes get some 17s, I honestly love having that extra option for in between
