Okay but all your satirical stuff had 100% solid reasoning behind it! 😂😂😂😂 I loved this 💜💜💜
hahaha satire with a hint of truth
The first two and a half minutes of this video were utterly hilarious.
i'm so glad someone else found it funny lol
This was amazing. I love all your videos lol. As a 5’10 lady, I have a few thoughts in case we do a follow up tall girl workout video:
- Shoulder work in the stretched position for all the times you get asked to grab things from or put things away on the top shelf
- Doing seated or kneeling overhead movements if you have a low ceiling
- Putting your feet out slightly in front of you for some extra core work when you use an over the door pull up bar, since you have to do SOMETHING with your lower legs to not touch the floor
- Hip hinging for when you need to bend down to hug people, avoid tree branches as you’re walking, etc.
- Jump squats/med ball throws as practice for all the times people will assume you’d be good at basketball or volleyball and ask you to join their games 😅
Hahahahahah best comment ever
Awesome tips! 😂 As a fellow short girl, I would add some climbing into your routine. Like when you have to climb onto a counter to reach the top shelf because you don’t have a stepstool or when you’re shopping and you can’t reach the top shelf so you have to climb the shelves 😂. Unless the aisle is full of people, and you don’t want them to see you climbing. I will find a tall person and say “excuse me tall person can you please help me”.
hhahahaha love this
Petition for more videos like this from Justina 😂😂😂
Noted!
Yes!!
I hope you're going to follow this up with Functional Fitness for Tall Girls, for us 5'8 and over 😅
Hahaha I’ll have to poll my tall friends for tips
@@JustinaErcole maybe something discussing limb length impacting movements. I feel like I really notice it when squatting due to femur/torso ratio
@@76kilosofshade81 Institute of Human Anatomy did a great video on this recently - Why some people are better built to squat
Dr. Mike catching strays but no mention of our short king Jeff Nippard
hahahaha my bad
I'm 5'2 and I subscribe to eating purely because of my height. When I'm full, I'm full. Great video.
Thank you!
Amen! From a 5'3" woman. Loved everything about this even jokes!
Haha glad you enjoyed! I had fun making this one :)
Loved the satirical part.
Can we have a tall person routine please. Some suggestions
Squat uolds to get used to talking to shorter people
Bear crawls to get used to digging through cabinets
My tip is mostly, don't be afraid to try to adjust things for your height/proportions. All the gym machines are annoyingly different, so sometimes you might have to ask for help (** shudders in millennial **) BUT it is great to actually get the most out of gym equipment when it is adjusted for your proportions. It will take some time to learn how everything can be adjusted and maybe some fiddling with more stubborn, well loved machines, but it often can be done! The leg curl and leg extension machine! Make sure your knee is around the lever point for the machine (it may require bringing the leg pad in and the seat forward.) The back extension machine can and should be adjusted! Etc. etc. Also-- adjust those safeties and rack heights if you need to. I've seen too many ladies try to unrack at a squat machine that was set up too tall for them!!!
I do the same for the lat pulldown! I’ve never seen anyone else do it so I’m glad I’m not alone! lol the reaching part hit close to home 😂
Yesss I’m glad it’s not just me!
yessssss about the food thing...im 5'2 and 110lbs and i eat 3600-3800 calories a day on average, sometimes even 4000. perhaps its a mixture of my genetics but its also because i have more muscle from strength training so my metabolism is higher than average. I hate all this crap about eating less because you're shorter. Its not just anecdotal for me, as i know lots of other woman who eat as much as me too and are petite
I believe it! My calorie intake is a little higher too :)
I laughed too hard at the beginning 😂😂😂
I'm glad someone else found it amusing lol
As someone who is 5'1" this was totally informative and fun!! 💗💗 Also you can put yoga blocks or weight plates under your feet when doing bench presses. My feet don't really touch enough to get a good grounding.
ooh good tip!
The amount of sass you were emitting before satirical tips 😂
Thank you for starting my Saturday off with laughter so hard I stopped breathing for a like 30 seconds 😂
I'm so glad someone besides me found this funny
Waiting for this one to blow up❤❤ love from a fellow 5'1" woman
thank you fellow shorty!
Kevin with the assist here, love it.
I fully tricked him into this lol
As a barely 5'3'' woman 😅overhead presses came handy on an flight the other day when I had to take something from the overhead lockers, put my bag back and close them. I was so pleased with my strength and range of motion 😆.
Yes!! 💪🏻
for some reason this just showed up in my recks.....I love the hip thrust tip and I use my pilates box for this too!
I just realized, I've only ever seen gym programs for short girls/women and never for short guys/men (edit: or just short people in general) 🤔 maybe it's just me but feels like another shady marketing-thing preying on women's insecurities
Loved the video! 😆
you hit the nail on the head my friend! I feel like gym programs for short women is code for "stay skinny" lol
Love the video!!! Satire and sarcasm are my friend!! Us short girls are soooooo tortured. Lol
Loved this!!!
The other argument I would like to make too is if you are over weight and short there is no way you are only eating 1,200-1,500 cals !!! You would be eating a lot more calories than that ! So yes you can cut 200-500 calories for a deficit. I was listening to April Whitney on a podcast this week (She is one of the “short girls” train differently for petite women) saying all of this stuff!
I really like some of her content but she definitely has some errors.
I’m 5’7” but it feels short since I used to be 5’9”. At 64, I’ve lost a couple of inches. I didn’t think it would make a difference, but it does. I have to use a step stool now. So annoying lol.
Welcome to the step stool club lol
Machine tip: if it doesn't adjust far enough, grab an ab mat and use it as a lower back cushion to push yourself more forward. I'm 5 foot even and I have to stick something behind my back on all of the seated leg machines except the leg press to make it fit right. Also if you don't want to use props on the hack squat, you can get a better range of motion by putting your feet closer together and more towards the bottom of the platform. It works more glute and less quad to do it that way but eh, whatever. I don't want 200+ pounds slamming into my shoulders if a yoga block slips off. And with the trap bar, you can take the smaller diameter weights from the bench press area so it's lower to the ground. Or (not for beginners) jump with it for a more demanding workout, even with an eh range of motion at the bottom. Personally I wouldn't flip it over because my hands get sweaty and there's no grip on the underside.
Bonus petite fitness tip: practice jump squats with a medicine ball for when you have to chuck something back onto a high closet shelf.
Also PLEASE do a video on how food for petites to correct misinformation. I have no idea what in the starvation hell this broscience is coming from that I should be eating toddler calories as a muscular and very active adult, but even my whoop is telling me to eat half as much as what my maintenance actually is. I'm concerned that other active/muscular women may undereat because they've been given a "maintenance" that's way too low by a calculator or app.
Good tips! All the trap bars I’ve seen have grip on the lower handle as well, so I’ve never had an issue flipping it over.
And I chatted about nutrition in my original Petite Fitness video from last month if you want to check that out :)
You're too funny, love the video as always Justina and those tips are gold
This kind of video that needs “behind the scenes” ending! 😂
Hahaha next time for sure
Absolutely loved this video, especially the satirical part 😂
I had way too much fun with that 😂
Chappell, Reneé and Sabrina yesss!!
I was wondering why this video wasn't thirty seconds long followed by seven minutes of crazed laughter
Hahahahahhaha
🤭🤣 love the first part. Well actually I love both parts. Thank you!
Very funny!! But also, great actual tips!! I’m not exactly short but I have tiny limbs and feet and everything always seems just out of reach so I might actually use some of these 😊
I’m glad you found some things helpful!
Oooh can you make a video on the Ultimate Curly Haired Person's Workout next? 😂 A great mix of funny and informative (loved deadlift bar tip). Tell Kevin to move outta the way when you're trying to watch TV 😅
Here's my shorty tip for anyone working out at home and doing glute thrusts on a too-high sofa: Sit on a yoga block. :) I did this for years but still found the couch annoying because I keep sliding down it, so I bought a plyometric box off Amazon and love it. Now I can do glute thrusts on the 12-inch side and step-ups on the 14 or 16-inch sides.
Ooooh great tip!
I had a real good chuckle when I saw the video title LOL. High five from a 5'2" girly.
Oh man. You did it!! 😅😂😅😂
Great video as always!💪🏻 had a great laugh. When you were looking up at Kevin and over his shoulder took me cause same girl
Great video! I find I utilise the calf raise as well as the overhead press trying to get things out of cupboards😂.
haha loved this one as a fellow shorty! will be using the plate tip for step ups!
it's a game changer!
Very creative! And actually very helpful!
Thank you! 😊
I was so worried before I clicked on the video
Those lateral hops to not step on 💩 in nyc 😂😂😂😂
You DO know that if you were one of those ridiculous influencers had posted this, this would be taken soooo seriously! Also, we need to be able to dodge the cracks in the sidewalk so we don't fall in and get stuck!!!!
hahahahahha those pesky cracks!
😂😂😂
😂
Am I short enough for the short girl exercises, I am 166 cm? 😂😂😂
You're fortunate to be 5'5" - not short
I'm a home gym girl, but for my hip thrusts I found my big soft weighted ball (Rhino Promax 14) is *perfect* height.
nice!
Hahaha, over the crowd got even me even though I'm not short ( 1.72m around 5′8 🤣 But I'm the lucky one who always has 2 m (6.56 ) People in front of me at concerts 🥲
😂
