Hi everyone, thanks for working out with me! This time I’m giving you some great upper body work with a nice deep stretch at the end that you can use for all of your workouts! Stay fit and stay safe, I love you all!

Im doing this every day for the past 2 weeks and I see the result I’ve lost 2 inches in my arms and I gained a little muscle 💪🏼 and I eat healthy so if you are doing this keep on going 🔥💪🏼

[alexandratirello]

some of the instructors featured on pop sugar can be a bit "much" if you get my drift but Nicole brought a great level headed workout! not intimidating, lots of variety, gets the job DONE! I hope we see more from her :)

I’m mostly a cardio girly. Long distance running, weighted jump rope, hiking 6-12 miles. This is the only other workout I’ll do beside part of a 30 minute lower body workout that absolutely kills my runners legs. I love no weight workouts as someone with partial paralysis who can’t hold weights. This freaking works and it’s doable for ANYONE make this your own. After a few times you’ll notice how much easier it is!!

I really love Nicole's energy and her personality! She is one of my favorite trainers! :)

[peytonf]

Nicole is soooo great!! I usually do an hour of intense advanced work, but this gets the job done!! Would love an hour with Nicole🙌🏻🙌🏻

Love this workout. When you weigh over 200lbs most workouts seem strenuous and too difficult to keep up with. This one is a great pace anyone can easily keep up with and it's OK to take breaks. The modifications make it even easier if you need it. I tend to add some leg excercises like crunches and lunges. I have been doing this work out for over a month everyday along with not eating sweets and having a calorie deficit of 1000-500 a day. I've gone from 245 to 210 and still falling. my husband says I look noticeably smaller. My clothes are baggy and i fit into stuff i didnt used to 🎉 the stretching has also helped with my neck, back, knee and foot pain. I feel so much better and I'm gonna keep going. So excited to get under 200lbs soon. So glad I found this workout. Thank you Nicole. It's literally changing my life ❤

Really boosts your ego when your shoulders burn just from wiggling your arms around for a while haha! Thanks for the workout, I really enjoyed it.

[AnnaAparicio]

Not only do we need to move, we need music, and dancing and energy like this to stay sane and positive, so thank you Nicole, you rock!

[claudiavarghese]

I love how she doesn't rush the stretch unlike most other YouTube workout vids.

And I love doing this video on days I feel muscle fatigue from the previous day. Can't count the number of times I've come back to this workout!

[alicejezi]

I'd love another arms and abs workout with Nicole, no-equipment. She makes it burn, gives results and she is overall one of the best trainers.

[stinkyeggs]

Yes! Finally, some more workouts that are both apartment and joint-friendly but still pack a punch!

[sophxo]

I loveee when the instructor is Nicole!! I get so exited every time shes in a new video! she's so positive and easy to follow!

[debbymarshall]

I’ve been looking for an arm workout that wouldn’t take me out in the first 10 minutes, haha. This looks very approachable and I will incorporate it in to my routine! Thank you!!

[reneelemos]

I love that shes not loud or talking fast. Theres no yelling or crazy music. Great work out! Man my arms hurt. never thought my arms could do a workout with out dumbbells. Thank you!

[raarast]

I’m 5:37 in and guuuurrrllll I am sweating!!!! Funny that this workout affects the whole body as well! Let me catch my breath and get back on. Lupus fatigue won’t stop me!

[Iyindara]

Nicole your encouragement in between makes the workout minutes go by so much faster😄 thank youuu😍🥳🥳

[kritikaasri]

I've seen Nicole's other workouts on popsugar, but this one HAS TO BE the one with the best stretch/cooldown.

[jujuishawesome]

The stretch at the end is the absolute BEST. I kinda wish it was a separate 10min video so I could do it at the end of other workouts.

Day 1: INTENSE but definitely doable!
The next day I was SORE! I felt it in my abdomen and definitely in the arms! It feels GOOD. It’s been a long time since I felt this Sore feeling!
Rest day
Day 2: I’m readyyy!
