    Honestly, this comment should have been highlighted. It surely helped me a lot. I had to stick with alternative exercises aside to using house properties. I will say it once more, it helped me a lot. (Note: I had to improvise my resistance bands to using recycled bike tubes)

    I live in a small apartment on the second floor. Having 2000-4000 pounds of weights up here is out of the question. But, resistance bands, yeah... I can do that. I've been using bands for nine months, and I've gained more muscles with them in that time span than I have with weights in the past 43 yrs. I've received more insight from your research on bands that have aided me in my weight training. I appreciate the time you put into you videos, and look forward to seeing more in the future. Keep up the good work... and thanks.

    I really love how you make sure to speak slowly and to enunciate clearly, and use no music. It helps a lot when English is not one's native language, more so when learning a lot of new terms. One thing making getting into fitness hard for me as an absolute beginner is not understanding all the jargon yet. And at my age, learning simply is harder than it was when I was 20. Loved the tip to try an exercise the wrong and right ways first to feel the difference, that will really help in learning all those moves, which for a beginner can be overwhelming. Also, your style makes it easier for me, as an autist, to stay focused. So, thank you for not rushing, thank you for not being loud, thank you for keeping distraction to a minimum.

    Really useful content. Before these videos I was training with double the effort for a month without getting any muscle sore and only getting lumbar back pains. It's interesting that without much perceivable change to the way I exercise now, I get no pain in my lumbar and I am able to get a noticeable result and proper muscle sore the next day. There are some downsides to using resistance bands, but when combined with low weight dumbbells you can achieve a much more efficient exercise (and a much much cheaper home training setup!)
