  1. We are doing nearly the same on our hospitals cardio department training room. There are young lean trainers. We all are over 70 and the guys have a belly. So it’s not so easy for this group, who really need it, than for you healthy young guys.

  2. Estos ejercicios salvan vidas ❤

  3. Still love this workout and this duo years later!! <3

  4. Thanks guys! It was one strenuous hiit workout today.
    Tried after so long time so got tired in first round till 60 secs break but now that’s my determination to make it back to the full 30 minutes video end. I will improve consistently 💪

  5. Since 2020, I'm with you twice a week

  6. it's been like a year i've been avoding self videos because i've been stressing about my thesis. i usually did the other hiit video where you guys use gray and yellow top, i don't know is it because i've been away for awhile (been doing light excercise like walking 5k and pilates these past 2 months but never a hiit) or what but i feel like this video is harder than the first one. i'm only able to do this until the second part today for starter and already drenched in sweat. hopefully as time goes by i can do this till the end of session, wish me luck!

  7. I was doing this exercise in 2021 and i loss 10 kg then i stop now in 2025 my weight reach to 93 kg I start it again ❤

  8. The ads towards the end come in clutch 😅

  9. Thank you, I've lost two kilos.

  10. aku dulu diet sambil hiit niru video ini bisa trs, sekarang lagi program diet lagi makanya balik kesini😂❤

  11. i loveeee your videos guys they're calm in a way, tho the workout is fireee =))

  12. I love this workout ❤❤😂🎉😂❤❤😊😊❤❤❤😊😂😊😊

  13. I'm always looking for effective bodyweight exercises. This video is awesome! I'm curious how this compares to the cardio workouts on HermQ. Has anyone tried both?

  14. Love the variety of exercises! Jumping jacks are a classic, but the skaters were new to me. I'm going to see if HermQ has a program that incorporates these. Thanks for the inspiration!

  15. Awesome video! I've been doing the HermQ shred program, but needed some new cardio ideas. These are perfect. Thanks for sharing!

  16. Really appreciate the cool-down stretch at the end. Recovery is so important! I'm using HermQ's recovery section to help with that as well. Anybody else find it helpful?

  17. This is a great way to get my heart rate up! I'm trying to improve my overall fitness and I'm using HermQ to help me with my diet and workout plans. What are your favorite cardio exercises?

  18. So many scissor steps😅😂 But I love it❤

  19. please why are the ads in the middle of the last plank or the exircices? it is very bad, please try to time them during the rest at least?
