This was a great intermediate workout. I am in my late 60s but this is more up to my level although I so enjoy all the videos with you and your mom. I found you while contacting Covid, developing into pneumonia. My energy levels were practically null, so if I could do your videos twice a week I was good. You helped me get through that difficult time. I continue to follow you and your mom, especially on days where I don't have too much time to exercise, I can always fit you in. This intermediate level was great. I worked up a sweat. I hope to see more. Thanks for all you and your mom do to encourage and uplift the community near and far.

Day 2 of my 30-day challenge! That was a great workout!😅

Not a beginner nor a senior but on some days I just feel not good/tired to do a tougher workout so I listen to my body. This was perfect for today, thank you. Love your friendly instructions.

I really like this one! I've been doing your beginners strength training for a few weeks and I notice the difference! My clothes are growing! I tried this intermediate today and I love it - it was fast and challenging for me (76) you were doing something that reminded me of boxing ... now I'll look for a beginner boxing YouTube video to add to my workouts with you and your wonderful mom!

Very much enjoy your intermediate workouts. Would love to see some a bit longer. I am in my early 70’s have been doing your routines a few times a week and feel the need for a bit more intensive workouts.

April, you are a wonderful instructor. Thank you for your creative variety❤️

I really loved this workout as I feel I have progressed to this level - thanks to you and your mom. I missed Aiko and Mochi, but I really loved this level of intensity. It's good to work up a sweat and to feel like I am progressing. Thank you so much for giving everyone something to strive for. I was really proud when I was able to complete this workout.

I have just started doing exercises with you and your Mom. It is just what I need, especially in the winter months when I do not care to walk outside in the cold weather. Thank you very much for sharing your time and expertise with us.

Greetings from the Philippines. I have been working out with your videos since March and have been enjoying it! Thanks for this! PS. I miss your mom Aiko! Hope she can join you again in your next video

[loisflagg]

I'm happy because I completed this workout today. Some exercises I had to go at the slower rate or not use the weights, but I got through it and felt like I had accomplished something new and more challenging. Thanks, April.

I’m 74, I was a little hesitant to do this class. But I’m glad I did it. It is just enough cardio and weight for a little sweat. I believe it is all credited to your others classes which I’ve followed for a while. They have made me stronger. Thanks again. Blessings to your family.

I used this workout for Day 5 of the *1 Week Strength Training Plan - Intermediate* .
I chose it because it combined challenging upper body moves with cardio at the same time, but I realized later that it includes a lot of lower body and core strength moves also, so I guess it's just as well that I skipped a day between Day 4 and Day 5 of the challenge. (I had intended to do this workout yesterday, but I was too rushed before work and too tired afterwards.) I used 3-pound dumbbells through most of the workout, sometimes doubling them up to hold both together, and I tried 5-pound dumbbells with some of the later moves. I just read my previous comment about this video from 2 years ago and see that I had used 5-pound weights all the way through back then -- so now I'm determined to work my way back up to that level again! If I can motivate myself and have enough time to do another short workout later in the day, I might try one that focuses exclusively on upper body strength (but that's a big *_IF_* 😉).
