Great questions! I try to take everything (good and bad) as simply constructive criticism. And I have pretty thick skin so any of the nasty comments just roll off my back. I remind myself that people who write things like that must be pretty miserable and I'm just happy that I have a wonderful support system here at home. But overall social media is a hugeeee factor in my job. I hope that answers your question!

MadFits workouts were a HUGE part of what helped me lose 25 pounds and enjoy my workouts last year, but it has become really important to me to have well programmed workouts so that I’m making the best use of my time while at the same time getting the results I want (mostly to effectively and evenly work all my muscles so that I feel good and get stronger). So this year my goal is to create my own programming (I saw that video of yours as well). Anyway, your videos have been a major reminder of that for me….that programming matters. I still love MadFit and will occasionally do maybe her dance videos, but it’s time to try something new in 2022. Thanks again for all of your informative content! 😊

@JustinaErcole 2 жыл бұрын

First of all, CONGRATS on achieving that! You are incredible. And secondly, shoot me a message if you ever have questions about programming! More than happy to help :)

On the "why doesn't the government push healthy living over the vaccine!!!" it's like... let's say you live VERY far away from any healthcare provider, the vaccine takes a total of four hours of your time. Losing weight takes weeks, months, or YEARS, depending on how much you have to lose to get to a healthy weight and be out of the elevated risk for that. How is that hard for people to comprehend? One is quick and easy and free, and the other is difficult and time consuming.

Obsessed with her Evermore dance workout like it’s my favorite from her ☺️💛 And about the COVID-19 and healthy living, not everyone can afford to be healthy. As someone who lives in the Philippines, most people here are impoverished and are fighting everyday to even eat thrice a day while trying to maintain their job if it wasn’t lost already because of the pandemic. “Eat healthy blah blah blah” be grateful that we’re privileged to even afford it.

I totally missed the hate train for Blogilates when it started, so I'm a bit in the dark about where she went "wrong" so to speak. But, do you still find her workouts generally speaking safe?

I have a question: can you really lift your breasts by doing chest exercises? Like nothing drastic, but my breasts and back are always the first areas to show weight loss and so my chest is slightly deflated looking after a slow 22lb loss this year. I'm not that self conscious about it, but I'm in my 30s and would like to slow their inevitable decent as long as possible.

@JustinaErcole 2 жыл бұрын
