Just a little tip to anyone else doing this workout and are of a bigger size such as myself. I've done this workout before, like a few months ago when I wanted to lose weight. And I did, 10kgs with is outstanding for me. But I did stop for some reason, and when I began to do the workout more easily too. Now, I'm getting back into exercise to lose weight, and I'm using this video. But keep in mind: do not push yourself past your limits just yet. For me, I do one set, the first ten minutes of the video, and that is it. I'm sweating afterwards and out of breath. For me, and I did get results this way, get used to the workout first. Even if it takes a moment for your body to be able to keep up. Ease yourself in. Don't feel like you're cheating and won't lose weight, because you will, you're still moving your body and exercising. I promise you, that once you can withstand the first half of the video, use the next month getting used to attempting doing the second half aswell. Easing yourself in does give results and you're able to see improvement too. Don't give up, I'm with you guys all the way. We can do this.

WARNING: Do not let the term "overweight" in the title fool you. Unless u are advanced this is very challenging. I found myself sweating midway thru. If u feel u cant complete a workout just do what YOU can do not over exert yourself. If she does 30 squats and and u can only do 3 just do it. I struggled but i didnt give up! Keep Going!

i weighed 260 when I started this. I'm down to 180.

It's an effective workout, absolutely, but one thing that fitness gurus often forget or can't relate to, is that an overweight person has major difficulty doing some of those movements. For instance, bringing your knees up/crunch. There's usually a belly in the way that makes it tough to lift a knee, but what's even worse are exercises that require you to crawl on all fours with all your weight focused on your wrists. It's painful and sometimes almost impossible, which often results in the overweight person wanting to give up because they can't physically do it. Luckily, there are standing exercises as well that burn fat and are easier on the joints.

can i do this in my room? because my family pressures me too much to lose weight and i just want to go into my room, lock the door, and avoid their annoying "finally, you exercised!" remarks. i hate the attention...

I have been over weight all my life...and it's killing me. I have so many conditions cause by weight, and it's time to change. I have done this twice now, and I can tell you I can barely even do it, half the time I have to stop before the 20 second break...and I now walk like a cowboy going up the stairs because my legs have been on fire. But soon, I hope I can get through this, loose weight and get my life back. Fingers crossed!

1) tip toe squat - 1:40 2) low impact burpies - 2:40 3) sumo squat - 3:47 4) knee squat - 4:40 5) standing crunches - 5:38 6) knee pushups - 6:47 7) reverse crunches 7:47 8) plank 8:46 Idk if anyone else did it but its more just for me to remember workouts

From being overweight to normal. I lost 13 kilos it is because of this. Not only considering workout but eating healthy food. Self-discipline is the key to success. Thank you Miss Joanna Soh!

I am going to try doing this routine every morning.... prayers accepted lol

I’ve been doing this work out for about 3 months now and watching what I eat and have gone down from 207 to 172. This is one of my favorite workouts thanks JoannaSoh

What the Hey!!! This is hard... But I did this to myself I'm 371 and 6' tall. I lost my husband of almost 20 yrs n let myself go.Have back pain n knee pain. I used a chair for balance n it took me 1hr to get halfway through. I had to keep pausing. I won't give up. I like your easy way u exsplaining how to do it. Now it just up to me to keep trying. I will let you guys know when I don't have to use the chair anymore. Also I start my Keto diet next month. Wish me luck guys.

I just did this workout and boy was it hard, but I’m determined to get better at it and get healthier 💪🏾

This is my 4th attempt and I can finally keep up with your pace rather than needing a longer one minute break/ doing just the first set 👏🏾 I'm not over weight, just very unfit and loves to give up, but I won't this time... I'm going to keep this routine up!

In January I was doing this every other day, stopped for a month between mid-February and mid-March, but my weight shrank during this pause, lost 2.7 kg while I was just doing regular walk work walk and regular eating routine ! I think doing this workout in January actually increased my metabolism. Plus my upper belly was never so flat, this changed my rib flare. THANKS!

I am at least 50 pounds overweight and can’t even go up the stairs without struggling. Everyone on here who is complaining, she says do it at your own pace. the point is to do it and be consistent. Nothing in the beginning is easy. Losing weight is a challenge. When it got too much I paused and focused on form not repetitions. Helpful hint watch the video in its entirety first, only do 10 reps of the exercise. I appreciate that she posted this. It’s doable for anyone that is willing.

First day was today! Heart is racing and the kneel to squat was a killer!! Looking forward to keepin' it up for the next 2-3 weeks!

I'm GOING to start using this workout along with my daily walking and GOING to lost 60 lbs. this year. Good luck everyone! Let's get this done!

Love the way she says “ good”

I am gonna do this workout every day for 1 week 1 like 1 workout!❤️

oh wow,i ran into your page again after the stretches. I like your voice over other voices.It gives motivation,has knowledge,pushes us to get it done while at the same time soothing us in a "you and I both know you can do it" tone.thank you again

I just love her voice lol it's so enthusiastic, makes me want to go back to the gym and do another workout

Day 2! I'm determined to lose the 15 kg marriage brought me! Good vibes accepted, girls!

I swear this workout is the best.. i was doing this workout since june 13 and lost 11 kg.. together with Low carb diet. for first two weeks I've did this work out , 4 times a week, but now i can do this everyday. Thanks a lot mam Johanna. You're a life saver.. ☺️

The way u are motivating and supporting throughout the workout is loveable.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Thanku so much dear

Just started to do this workout step by step and wow. So many sweat all over my body. Thank you. I'm gonna do this every morning.

I was only able to do half but will try to do the other half tonight. I feel like I’m dying but I’m proud of myself for trying

You are beyond inspiring. A wonderful, friendly video. You are very encouraging to us first-timers.

This is such a great video for not only beginners but also people, like me, who once were very active...fell off...and are now looking to adopt a more active lifestyle again. I’ve been looking for ways to start small so that I can commit to doing a daily fitness activity and this video hit the nail on the head!

Okay, I did this workout yesterday. I felt ridiculous because sh'es so graceful even excercising and I felt like a heavy bag, hardly lifting my own weight, but at the end of the routine I felt better! And my thigh muscles hurt in a good way, so all I want to say is that it's worth a try! No matter if you feel dumb for not doing it gracefully, just do it and you'll be happy afterwards. Joanna, thank you so much for sharing this routine, it's perfect for people super out of shape: not too hard, but also not too easy, so we're really feeling the workout, even at our super true beginner level. Thank you, thank you!! ♥

I got to 8 minutes and my heart was just beating so fast I had to stop man I'm so out of shape for a 21 year old

Wow thank you so much for this video. It's really kind of you and genius to make a video for beginner workout for people that aren't fit yet. Thank you!

Finally!! Something for the newbies!! I subbed!!! Thank you!!!

I started my weight loss journey two years ago. I used to weigh 74 kg ... I started going to gym I lost weight but not impressively... then I came across some of your eat clean, workout videos... and I am so glad I did!!! I followed your food advices with yoga and I lost 14 kg in 5 months!!! I love you so much!!! 😘😘😘

First workout i've ever completed, and im sweating buckets :)

I love your videos, and love using them - thank you! You're inspiring and never try to embarrass or guilt trip. Love it!!

Today it's my first day doing this workout. I could only do 10 minutes, but hopefully my body will be stronger everyday. Thank you so much. Your video is the best! X

This is what happens when a thinner person does exercises that they think an "overweight" person should be able to do.. However I will give you an A for effort. I started off looking for "plus sized fitness workouts" where real heavy people are doing cardio and that helped me because they knew the limits..

I'd love to lose 60lbs in 2017. Thank you for this video!

Dude I love you for doing this, it is honestly changing my life.

SWEATİNGGG!!!! Thank you so much! This is the third day of my 6 weeks and I already feel better!

Joanna: *”sumo squats!”* My very old leggings: **nervous sweating**

Two years or so ago I did this workout for some time on a regular basis and made some progress and lost some weight in combination with eating better. In general it helped me get fitter. But after almost half a year of barely working out i gained a lot of weight back and of course lost some strength and stamina. I will try this again now! My plan is to stick with this workout for a month. Following her advise I will do this three times a week and three times a week some cardio, which for me right now is jogging (I am following a beginners running plan with the goal of running an entire hour). If I manage to stick to this I will update here. Was able to finish the workout. The first set though I did the plank on my toes but collapsed half way through and had to push myself up again. Second set I did the plank on my knees, which I managed but I really struggled. Ugh. Hope this will improve! Btw. my current weight is 107.0kg

Thank you so much for this video.. today is the first time I've worked out in 3 months! so grateful for this vid!

I’m not overweight just a teenager trying to get back into working out and I loved this workout! It was not easy but not too hard, thank you!

I did this workout 3 or 4 years ago... it's been two years since I moved to other workouts (mainly outside home). Today I felt to come back to this and see how it was. I am so proud of me for finding it challenging but in a healthy way. There was a time I couldn't do this without feeling like dying and constantly pausing 😂

Thanks Joanna, I start with you today 💪💪👍👍 please can you do more videos like this I really enjoy working out with you. I see that you know what is best 😉

Fantastic full body 20 minute workout. I am so glad that I found you!

Thank you for making the videos! U r so encouraging, energetic!

Need to lose 20kgs. I am currently 82kgs and at 151cms

Just started today and I gotta say I've tried a lot of other workouts and never broke a sweat or only gotten warmed up a bit but yours actually got me sweating. I can't believe I'm so out of shape and overweight but this work out is giving me hope. I wasn't able to do all the exercises but I know I can do it. I would love to lose 100lbs so I'm determined. Healthier eating and having a better mind set to shed all this disgusting extra weight. Cant wait to post some updates!!!!

I will be doing this every other day. Only got through half of it before getting completely wiped. On the off days I walk around the park I live by. Only a mile but I'm trying so hard. Thanks for the awesome video!

This video is very helpful!! It helped me lose weight!! Thank you so much! I recommend this to anyone reading this!

The Title: Burn 300 Calories The description : Burn 250 Calories Joanna: Burn about 200 Calories Me: *Confused*

Hoooooney, I couldn't do half those moves when I was overweight. I didn't have a good range of motion & my knees would kill me. These are all effective exercises just be careful. Nice video👍😋

It was the very first time I did this exercise this afternoon and as a result, I was sweating like crazy. Thank you so much, Joanna.

@JoannaSohOfficial I Love You. I'm overwhelmed by your knowledge of variety of workouts for different people of the society. God Bless You.

I’m not overweight, but I definitely want to loose a good 20 pounds or so. 😅 I gained twenty pounds since March during quarantine so I want to start working out again and low impact is where I’m gonna start. I’m gonna do this workout everyday with some warm ups and cool downs as well :) if I remember, I’ll update as well. Currently, I am 5’2 and 120 pounds but I’m usually around 100.

For extremely overweight struggling with this try Leslie Sansone much easier on the joints.Tons of free work outs here on you tube.

AHHHHH!!! I loved this so much! Thank you for this workout!

i will do this from today and hopefully joanna can change my life

completed the workout yayyy : )

I dont think shes ever met an overweight person before. Im 3 minutes in and dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I want to lose 10 KGs!Thank you for making this video and helping me on my weight loss journey💖

Just did this workout burnt 140 calories! I love the modifications and the fact that its still an intense workout but not evil on the joints.

I'm 55 and was 320+ lbs. In my 40s I lost about 70lbs down to my normal adult weight of 250. At 50 with diabetes out of control, I took control. At 53 I hit 147lbs! However, it was too low. I looked horrible! I gained 5 lb up to 153 and have to say, for the first time in my adult life I looked perfect. Of course, that was in clothes LOL I officially have the ugliest naked body in the history of the world! I sort of look like a melted candle from my chest to my knees. Anyway, over the last 2 years the white has creep back up to 166 lb. I have got to get back down to that 153 mark before summer. However, I am really struggling because if I eat more than a thousand calories I gain weight. The year I lost the rest of my weight, about 60 pounds, I was only eating 5 to 700 calories a day. I ended up paying a pretty high price, because I lost half of my hair. I honestly thought what I was doing was enough protein, but evidently it wasn't. I did not incorporate any exercise, mostly because I have advanced ankylosing spondylitis, which is an autoimmune, systemic, arthritis that attacks your spinal column and your SI joints. I was misdiagnosed for almost 30 years and by the time I got a correct diagnosis my body was pretty damaged. Both my SI joints have fused because of the years of inflammation, your body grows new bone to heal. After my SI joints the disease moved to my neck and worked its way down to T12. Right now I am fused and hyperkyphotic (bent forward like quasimodo). I have tons of new bone growth, which is very brittle and easy to break because it's not stable bone. Because of the severe curve in my upper back the inside parts of my vertebrae are crushed with thousands of tiny stress fractures. I have to be extremely careful in what exercises I do or just day-to-day activities. A break in any of those phones could be devastating. My doctor wouldn't allow me to walk on a treadmill, ride a bike, or use most gym equipment that there would be a risk of falling. I did buy a recumbent bike, and it has set in the box since 2003 in my living room! I cannot put it together myself, and haven't had anyone to help me with it. I could get out and walk, but I can't walk very long without my low back beginning to hurt really badly. So to get out for a walk, it's kind of hard because I need to stay close enough that I can get back home. If I'm able to sit for just a few seconds even, I can get up and walk again. I thought about buying one of those canes that have a seat lol however, the more I look at HIIT and some of the videos on KZfaq, it looks like this could be a great alternative for someone like me. I am not impaired from the waist down as far as movement except for the SI joints being fused. The only type of movement they restrict is a rotational type movement. It's really hard to explain, and this is a little TMI, but if you were at the gynecologist for a pap smear you have to rotate your hips when you spread your legs for the exam. That's the type of movement that is no longer present once your SI joints fuse or you have them surgically fused. I don't foresee any of that kind of movement in these exercises LOL so I have committed to do 10 minutes a day 7 days a week for now because I am so physically unfit, and just stopped smoking last week! Here's to a healthier 2018 for me, and anyone who reads this comment! May your life be fully blessed and enriched!

This is now the third week that I am doing this workout. So far I haven't missed it once but I definitely have to say on some days so far I had to force myself (I think it's also because of course doing the same workout everyother day is pretty repetitive). I somehow also feel like it's easier for me on some days then on others. Even though before doing it the first time I thought hey it looks easy but after actually having done it the first time I was sweating like crazy and the next day I my muscles wee really sore (well I haven't done any workouts before). All in all I can say it has already gotten a bit easier, especially the kneel to squat one. And today for the first time I forced myself to do the actual plank and not the knee version, I had to pause for a few sec after about 20sec. I will do it for three more weeks and I will manage to hold the real plank for the whole minute! Tschaka!

Just did the 1st half of this workout. Thank you so much!

Have been looking for such video, I did this and it's way easy, thanks for uploading

Hi joana. Michelle here. Ive been following all your workout plan already but unfortunately yesterday I just found out that I have polycystic ovary syndrome. Im an insulin resistant. And badly needed an exercise but as for me with pcos its kinda hard to really loase weight. Hope you can make a workout plan and meal plan for me please.. Hope you notice this. Thanks.

I WILL lose 70 lbs this year!

Nicely done, Joanna! I just came across your channel and it’s a great addition to my workout routine. You have a new subscriber!

Thank tou joaana soh,your work out makes me move for the first time after long time not moving and i can do all, i like it

Exercising! Let’s see how this works! 💖 I’m gonna do this 3 days for 6 weeks! I’ll update you guys ! Like for motivation 💖💖 I’ll say how much I’ve lost when done Day 1 : easy! I did it! Day 2: doing it right now! My thighs are a little sore doing it! Day 3: done

This could also be good for someone who has injuries and does not want to jump.

This is the only video that i have found works best for me. I have lost so much weight because of this, i did this for a year and 1 day i went to my aunty's house she told me i have lost a lot of weight. Cheer up everyone being overweight is not as bad as being obese, also if you are overweight or obese then don't worry because for fatter people even the slighest forms of exercise can burn so much calories because they have a higher fat breakdown. This is harder for lean and trained atheletes as they have a lower fat breakdown. But remember no matter how hard it is you can do it.

Very good workout video! Quick and simple, yet challenging. Definitely will try to do this at least 2 to 3 time per week.

I am 55 years old can I also do this exercises and my metabolism will it increase let me know please thank you

hey joana are your exercises suitable for all body types

hey i just wanna tell you that you really motivate me to lose weight even though im overweight. and actually it was pretty fun and satisfying. TYSM Joanna!! 🙌🙂 remember guys, its better to do one exercise than never. Goodluck everyone✨

It was hard, but nice! Some of the exercises were just impossible for me, but I tried and I modified them on the fly. I've been doing exercise routines for more than a month now and I've learned to focus on what I can do and finishing the routine... Thanks Joanna, you're lovely!

Omg..I am overweight..74kg. Was so good to finish this.today was my first day.

Your workouts helps me a lot in my weight loss journey...thank you 😍

Ive just done this and the sweat was drippin heart going face like a beetroot ! Lovely instructor too make all the difference.

I am 14, 5"11 and 14 stone or 87kg. I want to lose around 4 stone! I have done this workout 3 times so far and I have to say it is exhausting. But I will keep it up to get my goal!!' 😥☺️

I’m going to do this every other day this has me sweating it’s low impact but boy you will be sweating

Great Narrative to go along with a "go at your own pace" workout. Thanks

First time doing one of your exercise routines. Great workout! The Kneel to Squat I could barely do as my legs were killing me. I will try to do this one better next time. Thanks Joanna 💙💕

I'm literally 7 kilos over my healthy weight range and I was struggling at the end!

Joanna I'm about 623 pounds. I was 724 I lost all mainly from eating because excise are challenging. I have arthritis in my knees. So what I'm asking is please can you do a video for me to work out that want hurt and make me stop in one day. Thanks.

Doing this in 2020 and I am so determined to do it as a lifestyle. Today is my first day to do this and I have successfully done the two sets simply because I have been doing some cardio for the past three months but with some breaks here and there. We got to do this guys...…healthy living all the way.
