After I saw Brie Larson in Capt Marvel, I was inspired to work out because I loved how her body looked. I’ll never be a bikini model so those types of videos didn’t inspire me. brie looked strong and healthly in a relatively attainable (with hard work) sort of way, it’s so motivating. Thank you for posting this.

My god this trainer is real. Credit goes to this guy. Care so much about functional training and, just wish he incorporate more external rotation

[EezeeGroover]

The most important lesson to be gleaned from this is that you too can charge celebs absurd amounts of money without actually knowing what you're doing.

[larahyder]

omg the advice about using isometric movements to be able to build up to the normal stuff is AMAZING I'm so happy I watched this

[lilyraimey]

Guys, she’s supposed to have an athletic physique built for work, not an hourglass figure made for Instagram aesthetics.😂

[maybejustparanoid]

nothing has ever made me feel worse about my body than the comments. Her legs and butt look great. Why are there such high expectations for womens bodies? Not everyone can grow a butt like Kim Kardashians and people in the comments say Brie looks out of shape because of such little imperfections.

[NoraTKD]

This looks really hard! I would like to try these moves out, he seems like such a good trainer! Brie looks awesome and she got very strong!

[emokid]

Finally a super hero who isn’t seen as a sexual object she’s a strong badass and I LIVE for it

[christopherburns]

No disrespect but this is some of the worst training I’ve ever seen. Hollywood trainers are some of the worst I’ve ever seen and I have no idea how they keep getting clients. This is just fine workouts for getting someone more fit but if you’re only goal is to look more muscular and fit for a role this was 99% wasting time. Doing anything will get you in better shape so it worked but she could have done this 100x more efficiently

Just watched Captain Marvel today. Loved it! She looked so strong, what a badass

[joem]

Those chin up progressions are no joke.

[brieannabernier]

Looking at her in the movie, she is one of the only few female superheroes or female actresses that actually look the part and aren't that Hollywood agenda of what a female should look like. It made me happy as I am an athletic built girl as well and love to see woman being empowered through make their bodies stronger and more fit.

[AnastasiaSilvi]

One day I'm gonna be able to do all these.. just one day...

[LiLiBi]

I'm a bit worried at how the trainer is not picking up the poor form Brie has in some of her workout videos. Like the glute bridge on bench. Sure, you can press much more weight when not going for full extension, but other than that it looks cool, you get don't get quite as much 'gain' from it and can even seriously harm yourself. Also her knee positioning is awkward at times, which could mean serious injuries at some point.


This doesn't have anything to do with the way she looked; she looks absolutely great and definitely deserves a cookie!

Matthew McConaughey has a lost brother.

[Mariia.Cascales]

I love this channel, "it really makes you think that working out isn't that difficult!" I say as I sip my chocolate milk in my comfy chair, second day straight.

[leHungry]

According to some the insecure men’s comments under this video, you need to have a big butt to be a superhero. Can’t believe these people are the future generation.

[redflag]

Jason Walsh's name should be in the title

I'm going to cry in the corner while rubbing my belly.
