  1. Great for hotel room when you need to avoid making too much noise

  2. Quick workout before my shift. Thank you

  3. Thanks for keeping me active during my chemo treatments when weather did not permit me to exercise in the park this morning.

  4. Fab workout as a base for increasing intensity when you’re ready. Thanks, Joe!

  5. I wish you would focus more on these 20 min workouts. So many of the new videos on your channel seem to be 7, 10 or 15 minute workouts. Its nowhere near enough time to get a workout, and its too annoying to try and string together 2 or 3 of the 7 minute ones to get some variety ( eg not all abs exercises).
    I've noticed that more and more I am doing other channels workouts because you have barely any new 20 min workouts being released – Please focus on this as the core of your fitness library.

  6. These low impact workouts have saved me. When my motivation is super low and I don't want to do anything I can still spend 10 or even 20 mins in a workout that's not demanding so there's no anticipatory anxiety/procrastination involved. I am so grateful to Joe❤

  7. This one was perfect for a Monday morning and seemed to go by very quickly. I’m following on with a dumb bell session now. I have the app but still like to do your new You Tube workouts, thanks so much Joe x

  8. Love your videos Joe. I'm currently training for a Marathon (like yourself) and find your workouts a great add-on to my training! Cheers!

  9. Perfect for me Joe..thank you for all the videos you put out

  10. Loving this! I'm adapting but 23 weeks pregnant and finding this really helpful thanks Joe x

  11. Started doing your senior workout routine and love it! Thank you💙

  12. Started doing your senior workout routine and love it! Thank you💙

  13. Started doing your senior workout routine and love it! Thank you💙

  14. Started doing your senior workout routine and love it! Thank you💙

  15. Thanks Joe. Brilliant workout! Gets HR high and it’s really stimulating!❤

  16. I have set myself a goal of doing four Joe Wicks videos every week. If I faill to do that, for each video missed, l need to pay my children £2.50 each. It's the 26th of January today and I feel very motivated to sort out my last will and testament. Joe Wicks will be the death of me.

  17. First day. Awesomely slow and easy. Perfect for a day of travel, cars and planes back to Seattle.

  18. Thanks so much for posting this workout Joe – really hope your recovery is going well. You are simply the best!

  19. First view, comment and like!
