I don't do them every time, but I love when a no repeat session comes in with the trainer I watch a lot. If I absolutely hate a movement, I can grit my teeth through 45 seconds and know that I don't have to do it again. 🤣Sometimes I'm just not emotionally prepared to repeat.

I don't like no repeat workouts either. I get so overwhelmed when there's over 15 exercises. Also, very excited to see your review of Bailey Brown. I used to do her workouts, actually I moved on from Blogilates to her. They're incredibly similar, just to give you more of an idea of what she promotes.

What I love about her workouts is exactly what you don't! I have ADHD and repeating exercises and counting how many times I do a move, then doing it several times for different moves is impossible (I just lose count). Even if the trainer is counting for me it gets boring. I also like the not knowing what's next, it keeps me engaged. My goal is just to move my body so no repeat workouts that I can actually stay focused on is better for me than no workouts at all! I also love that she is very professional and doesn't try to encourage us with using phrases like 'think about your tummy in that bikini' or saying things like 'ooooh that burns you can do it!' every two seconds. She is very neutral and barely says anything about how hard it may be or how we're killing it and just says 'Well done' at then end. Love that about her.

The Bailey Brown expression, ha ha. I’m glad you mentioned that the physical appearance matters in numbers of subs, I think it’s a big factor. I use Jessica Smith’s streaming service, and she frequently combines bands and dumbbells. I usually skip the band, it’s less complicated. But now that you’ve explained it, it makes sense why she does it. I’ll have to try it. I really appreciate these videos, I learn so much. I’ve been following Jessica since 2013, plus I’m grandfathered in at her $99 per year opening special. But if she ever quits, you’d be my first choice. Hopefully, that comes off as a compliment! And love the thumbnail!

Great video, Justina! Another trainer who is actually educated and doesn't use clickbait-y titles for her workouts is Nicole Pearce Movement! She has a WIDE range of workouts - from pilates to HIIT, to strength, to mobility. She deserves more subscribers IMO, I just love how she guides you through your workout and gives you different options/modifications!

Hi Justina, personally I enjoy a no repeat workout once in a while, even though I know they are generally not ideal for muscle development purposes. The most decent (= not just random exercises thrown in together) no repeat video that I know of would be something from the Fitness Blender's series "Bored Easily", I think, particularly the HIIT ones! But yeah, that's not optimal by any means, just very fun! Hope you're having a nice weekend! ❤ Thank you so much for the video!

@@JustinaErcole i learned it from a personal trainer on KZfaq but I’ve heard it repeatedly so I don’t remember who told me first. I watch a lot of Drs/trainers in this field.
