Thank you so much Chris. Not only for the amazing workout, but for the talk about depression. I suffer terrible depression and anxiety, and today I had actually planned an all-day-in-bed day. But this morning when I woke up I thought about you, and decided I would do my workout - even if that's all I do, and then go back to bed. It's really ironic that I cholse this workout, and you talked about depression. It is a monster, and I believe it should be talked about much more openly than it is. Thank you so much for all you do. Your words today meant the whole world to me. It's OK to not be OK.

This is a great workout. I went heavy on the weights and was able to complete the reps. Chris I want to give you a virtual hug for sharing your depression story. I know it’s difficult to talk about but we love you and want the best for you. ❤
I'm not use to 60 sec rounds for arms, had to drop weight. Thanks for sharing what you are going through. I'm sending you positive vibes! ❤ You're the best thing that happened to me during covid and you are still here, it's amazing! My job pays for online training with the most popular gym chain in Quebec, but it's really not good! I'm a gym teacher, I know what I want. You are the Best!

I went for the heavier new dumbbells and it was so cool! It also gave me a great excuse: "Sorry, I can't stay on the phone right now, my arms are still trembling and I can't keep the phone to my ear." Chris, when you talked about anxiety and depression I heard you ❤.
I too suffer from severe anxiety and depression and with this long winter ahead of us it’s even worse. To make everything even worse I was diagnosed last August with Epilepsy due to a brain arachnoid cyst BUT I will NOT let this stop me. I too wanted to stay in bed this morning but I force myself every day and do every single live class, Mobility and even more step classes. I won’t let this beat me. So I did not want to tell anyone about all this but if it can help anyone then I did the right thing. You have saved my sanity Chris and for this I will always be so thankful ! 💕❤️🥰

Girl who doesn't need chest and back??? LOL Great class as always!!
Love some back and chest work! Doubled down on weightlifting today. May have to roll out of bed and crawl yet my back and chest feel gnarled in all the best ways. Also thanks for the comments on depression. I’m predisposed to it and have had my bouts. It’s been a while since I was swimming in it yet what you say is true. All the pills western medicine throws at it are crap shoots- best thing to do is to get up and move for moving’s sake. I recall waiting in line at target to get a refill on Zoloft while an elderly woman asked the pharmacist, with tears in her eyes, “when is this going to start working-I’ve been on it 3 months” I walked out without my rx and just kept on walking. Not for everyone I know yet the more I know of science and the brain after talking to scientists who study the brain -meds for me were not the answer. A dog the woods physical activity and music pulled me thru and continue to work their magic Thanks for sharing your imperfections- they make me love you even more. And as always, thanks for all you do. Keep on keeping on.
oooh yes! a chest and back workout - what a great way to mix it up during the week! Thank you so much coach Chris
Thank you Chris for this great workout today! Some moves I tried heavier until my muscles said,”I’m done.” Thank you for the information about form throughout the workout. You can definitely build a strong core without working abs just by holding them in doing other exercises. I have gone through many bouts of depression. It’s really difficult and I tend to also hide away and avoid people. I had a friend pass away a little over 3 months ago and it’s been tough. She was probably my best friend and I talked to her the most frequently. Thank you for sharing that! In the moment you feel alone but this is a reminder that others are sometimes going through the same thing. You really never know what somebody else is feeling or going through. I appreciate you being a positive influence about so many different things. Finding your channel has been a life changer! 💗

Thank you, Chris, for an excellent class! This one is going in my library of favorites. I find all the strength workouts challenging but this one particularly so. It was tough and I felt so good that I finished it. I took my dogs for a walk right afterwards and suddenly realized I was walking so tall - I’m 5’8” and usually a sloucher - and there was a spring in my step and I realized I was just really proud of myself for how far I’ve come. I just started doing regular strength training (thanks to you!) the past 6 months and I can’t believe how much stronger I am. I’m going to have to invest in 25 lb weights soon I think! So thanks again for this class and all the classes! I so appreciate it! ❤

Great upper body workout! Still feeling it 7 hours later, probably will feel it even more in the advanced step tomorrow. Thank you for sharing about depression, I had a major episode ironically after I was done my cancer treatment. It hit me out of the blue; thankfully a change to meds helped me. I know they’re not for everyone but they saved my life. Working out daily was a huge part as well. Some days I would go straight from chemo to the gym. My oncologist thinks that’s one of the reasons I did so well with minimizing side effects.

Thank you so much for sharing this June!! We lovey a!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad you brought up the subject of emotional ups and downs and how during the downs we may not feel like doing anything. I go through days like that often and I know it is because my tank is empty. I give and do so much for others that l am left with nothing. Guess what? I find that what we do here, working out, is a way to refill my empty tank. I’m not a doctor but I know that exercise boosts serotonin levels, the “feel good hormone” and is a way to recover from burnout. What you provide us, with these workouts is truly priceless. I started working out with you, Chris, when the gyms closed down from the pandemic. You have seen me through a lot, including a heart attack in 2021. Today I’m so much healthier, stronger, mentally focused, and happier. Thank you!

Thank you Chris, Thank you for all the Fun, Love, Encouragement, Motivation, and kindness you bring to your workouts. Exercise is the best thing for any anxiety or depression. The fact that you make me feel included in your group of Awesome fellow exercisers helps me get off my butt and Just Do it!! ❤😊
Love you even more today Chris. Thank you for talking about depression. Your words meant a lot to me today .❤
I was one who thought, "Only chest and back? Nah." I kept thinking, I'll just do part of it, but then I did it all the way to the end because it was so good. Thanks also for being open about dealing with depression. So many people aren't aware that sunny, super functional people can face that challenge, and it royally sucks but you have to try and keep moving forward. You are an amazing person. 💜
This is Donna from Austin and before I moved here 14 years ago, I grew up and lived in the northeast. It was gray from November to May (besides the brown snow and trees). Talk about seasonal affective disorder and being down! Here in Austin the sun shines a lot and I am sooo much more energetic and happier and I truly attribute it to the sun. I don't even mind a few dark days as it's cozy - what a complete w! I wish you could come to Austin - maybe that will help during those long winter months! 😘👍👍Thanks for a great upper body class, Chris.👏👏

well, it is nice to feel the muscles in my chest instead of just feeling blobs of boob hanging:) Great workout! Thanks for being open about your mental health days. For my job, I have to be "up" all the time with patients, and there are somedays I just want to sit next to them and say lets just talk and watch tv. I find they appreciate when I tell them it is an off day for me, but I am, glad to be there with them. They seem to open up more to me then, and we are able to support each other

This was a an amazing upper body workout 🏋️♀️ I used 7.5 kg for chest presses. Thank you Chris x
Fantastic and challenging arm workout! And I just want to say I appreciate your honesty about depression. It's so important that we normalize what so many people experience and make it ok to openly talk about. One person speaking up can make a huge difference to someone else who may feel alone. ❤

Second, love that I am not a sweaty mess after weights because those are my days to skip the hair wash 😂. Lastly, I love how you were so real about the depression thing. I often thought I wish I was like you are all the time and now knowing you are not always in that mode made me feel it’s okay to just like how I am. Oh, and I can barely type this because my upper body is on fire and feels like jello from the workout. Awesome workout. As always, thank you !

Another fabulous workout by Chris! My pecs are going to be feeling that later! 😅 I have a masters degree in marriage and family therapy (just the degree, not the license) and I just want to say thank you for talking about depression. People need to know that it’s ok to ask for help and that most people go through this either for a short period of time or chronically. I love that you and Amanda check in on each other. A support system is so important! One thing I have learned that I was not taught in my program is how much lifestyle matters when it comes to mental health. The gut microbiome is the second brain and most of our serotonin is actually made in the gut. So important to be on top of gut health as one aspect of managing mental health! So grateful for your workouts and your willingness to be vulnerable! ❤️

Oomph. I have been more of a cardio queen lately (step, walking and pickleball) and have not been doing strength and I really notice it in the weights I use now( lighter ones) and the definition in my arms and legs. Slowly gonna work back into it again. I am feeling weaker in my shoulders, knees and my core. I have always known how important it is and now I am truly seeing why. Those bat wings are gonna get firmer again 😅. Thanks as always Chris 💕😎🙏🏻
This was terrific-my upper body still feels this workout!

I decided to do this workout Saturday morning even though my arm was sore and hurt to move from a vaccine shot I had Friday. I’m so glad I did, didn’t lift as heavy as I normally would but it helped to relieve the soreness I had and able to move it more freely than when I woke up. Hopefully I’ll be able to do more movement tomorrow as I also completed Day 28 mobility challenge and the cardio yoga this evening. Both of the movements removed the tension and relaxed my body. Thank you for the fun workouts. Especially the Calgon take me away phrase. Made me laugh.
Great workout! I asked fir heavier weights for my birthday I'm definitely getting stronger since working out with you!! Thanks Chris!

THanks Joyce!
What a smash-up. Great week(end)
Well I think I’m too late for comment of the day, but thank you for being open, combating stigma and making it normal to have emotional highs and lows. Not enough people talk about it! Another reason to keep working out with you

Thank you so s much Melanie!!!
Surprisingly sweaty and fulfilling. Thank you!
Great upper body workout! I've been using heavier weights and now I see my arms have more definition in them. Love that you also talked about depression. I have been dealing with it myself for almost 30 years. It's not an illness that people see such as cancer so some people just don't understand it. Unless you or someone you know has been going through it, only then can one have comprehension and compassion. Thank you Chris for being open about your own experiences!❤❤💪

Yay💕 so happy you are seeing results! Yes you are so right, all we want to do is hide when it is happening but we must share so people know it’s real
Typically I don’t do the arm & leg days but since there was not a new total body this Monday I went back & did last weeks leg day Tuesday & this one Thursday. I think I will do this more often. Both days were really challenging and it felt good to change it up. Thanks so much for all your hard work!
❤❤❤this was really tough!! The slower the move the harder it seems to be for me but the more I focus on proper form and feel my muscles so I love it! Thank you for talking about mental health because you’re so right, we are all just humans trying to get through the day and some of them are really really tough and sometimes there’s no real “reason.” I’m sorry to know you go through it too but thank you for sharing yourself with us and being an advocate for total body and mind health and well being. You are the best, we’re so lucky to have you!!❤❤❤

Love ya Barbara!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved this one- everything was shaking!
Dang, I had to rush through this class, happily missed the renegade row, to get as much as I could done before an event. I loved this class. Appreciate the mention of depression and anxiety as I feel others should know it is common. Talk to a doctor, thankfully I have a great PCP...always push for a great Primary Care Doctor who takes the time to listen. I have so many little laughs/puns I want to mention but don't want to do it generally. You are changing our lifestyle and loving the 'Real Time Class Feel' you bring. Errors and all.

Great workout!! I love the one dumbbell lat pullover!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with depression! So many people suffer in silence for fear that they will be judged. I too have bouts with depression as well. Exercise is a huge regulator for me. I appreciate your channel and look forward to working out with you. You always make me smile and laugh ❤️

Wow! What a great workout! First of all, THANK YOU for discussing mental health. We all get wrapped up in how "perfect" everyone else's life looks on social media, TV etc. It is so reassuring to hear from you that your feelings of depression are completely normal and how you deal with it. Next, I have started lifting weights (heavy) this last August. I take before and after pics monthly. This last set of pics I was like "well hello Traps and Posterior Deltoids....I haven't seen you in a looooong time!"😜. Soooo exciting!! I appreciate you Chris!
