I really appreciate a lot of Joanna Soh's content - she also created Ramadan health tips video for people who observe Ramadan that want to maintain their fitness while fasting. It was really considerate and not something a lot of fitness creators do, serving communities they aren't a part of.
That’s wonderful!
I’m repeating myself: But THANK YOU for always keeping it interesting and informing. Have had surgery and am not allowed to workout for a couple of weeks. Going nuts and can’t wait to test Obi and Gideon!
Keep resting and they’ll be waiting for you 😊
Another enjoyable and educational video! This helps me be more discerning when choosing workouts!
Glad you enjoyed!
Hey Justina, hii😍😍 I really love ur unbiased and bold opinions about every workouts u tried or just in general ur knowledge about fitness amuses me. Keep up the good work girl🙆♀️💜😎☺😎☺
Thank you so much!
These videos are my FAVORITE.❤️ I highly encourage you to do more reviews.✨✨
Thanks Sarah ❤️
More workouts for me to check out on TH-cam. Yeah!! The women I've been following for the last few years is Pahla B. This ones for your mom. Her tag line is your best middle-aged fitness friend. Her workouts about making peace with your menopausal body. It's all standing, no transitions to the ground (apart from the occasional abs workout were you stay there.) Knee friendly low impact. She's also a mindset coach and has a podcast called Fitness Matters.
I’ll have to check it out!
I'm not surprised that trainers who focus on functional fitness mostly got higher scores. And I love the diversity! Really great to see ❤
Haha they were all (for the most part) really excellent!
I came back to this video for no major reason, and I noticed you reviewed Gideon Akande. I found his workouts on FitOn, and I think he’s GREAT! I’m happy to see we’re in agreement.👍🏾😊💪🏾 Oh, thank you for the introduction to Obi and Johanna.
He's so great!
hey justina, im going to repeat my self, but i LOVE your videos. thank you for educating me and others and have a nice day!
Aw thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I love that you always make me think about what I'm doing in my training!
Yay!
The plank reminded me of RHOA where one of the housewives, Drew, has a workout app called "Drop It With Drew", but she can't even do a squat correctly. Her form is terrible and one of the other housewives, an Olympic athlete, is like, "How you gonna drop it with Drew, when you can't even drop your own body into a squat?" Form matters!
😂😂😂
Love your review videos and thankyou so much for reviewing Joanna Soh , she's my fav ❤
She was fantastic!
Glad you like Joanna. Unlike most Asian fitness TH-camrs *ehem* she's actually promote solid workout and not focusing on losing weights only.
She's great!
Love this video. thanks for all the educational and review video. I used to workout without any purpose, just doing workout with lots of views. Now I start to focus more on functional training. Not sure is it because I start working my back more often, my back and shoulder pain seems to reduce significantly compared to last time.
Love that!
3:23 your reaction to the power push-ups made me smile haha!! Really enjoyed this video in general as well! ^_^
I was really confident and was proven wrong lol
I hate when there are ads in the middle of a workout and thank you for your honest reviews
Unfortunately TH-cam has the control over where ads are placed 🤷🏼♀️
@@JustinaErcole oh ok never knew that
It's cool to see some new creators featured!
Glad you enjoyed
Nice video! Made me check out Obi and Gideon, and I loved their energy!
They were so great!
Thank you for the great video, as always! I appreciated your point that pulling movements are beneficial for most people, and I would love to incorporate more into my routine. :D I would love to see a video suggesting functional pulling exercises that can be done from home with weights. (Many people suggest pulling movements that require gym equipment (ex. lat pulldowns)
Do you have anything up high (like a pull up bar) that you can loop a band around? Then you can get in a vertical pull. And honestly my favorite horizontal pull is a simple bent over row :)
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Jessica Smith! She’s been on TH-cam( and my favorite trainer)for like 10 years and is amazing. She consults physical therapists and other doctors when creating her programs. 🙂
Ooh I’ll have to check her out!
@@JustinaErcole she’s so underrated!
I used to do Jessica Smith workouts years ago. I really liked her.
Her usually-sleeping doggie often steals the show 😂 ❤️
I would love ur take on fitness with pj and Tracy steen...
I think you are amazing and so bright!!!
Thank you!
This was enjoyable ! I like fullbody days especially when my schedule is too full to choose another workout split.
Could you check Julia Reppel ? She is also doing Functional Fitness, and a combo of mobility and strength training. Somehow, I immediatly thought about you.
I’ll look into it!
This was super informative. I feel like I finally understand what functional training is! Love this video! 🙌🏾
So glad you enjoyed 😊
Love Gideon's workouts and positivity! Great video, thanks 🤘
Glad you like them!
This was super informative
Thanks ❤️
Nice, thank you. ☺️
You’re so welcome!
Pleaseeee try Ashton hall official!!! I think this will be very interesting for you 😊😮❤
I'll look into it :)
Could you please do a review of one of fitbylarie workout?
I’ll look into it!
Hi Justina!! Can you please try out Go Chlo Pilates? I was pleasantly surprised by her content. I’ve been trying to find pilates workouts that weren’t completely trash, and I like her videos. I want to know what you think.
Her stuff looks great to me! Love that she's certified and a physical therapist. Maybe I'll d a month of pilates :)
Video idea - can you look into nutricious movement by katy bowman?
I’ll look into it!
Great video, Justina!
Kinda random question, but do you have any training/education when it comes to hypermobility?
I don’t! I would definitely recommend seeking out a physical therapist to help you :)
Thanks! I wasn't sure what category that would fall in! I went to a pt once for a hip injury and she had zero clue about my elbows and knees, so I thought maybe it wasn't a pt thing.
Hey Justina! Quick question: when you say training with purpose, does that mean if you do a move for hypertrophy and know what you’re working and the muscles included, is that functional? It seemed like the only thing that made a move functional was balance, mobility, and improved strength on every day tasks, kinda making it feel like to grow stronger for a lot of strength isn’t a great goal. Or maybe a different audience?
So if your goal is hypertrophy and you train for hypertrophy, that’s functional! Functional simply means “with purpose” by my definition.
That Gideon workout is great. I hate all the push-ups in it too haha. It seems like it will be such an easy workout but actually builds up a great sweat!
It was a little much lol
Hey Justina! When you mentioned the knees going over the toes for squats, is that also true for lunges? Is it fine for the knee to extend more than 90 degrees?
Absolutely! Just ask yourself WHY you’re programming a lunge. Is it for mobility? Is it for quads? Is it for glutes? Is it to mimic a certain movement pattern you hit in daily life? That will inform how you align your joints in lunges.
my gym does a group class that is just called Functional Fitness and I still don't know what they mean by that - I always thought that 'training functionally' was more about individualising training programmes, training with specific purpose for specific outcomes for you individually - how do you make a general group fitness class, taught by different instructors week to week, open for any gym member to go to 'functional'? Or does 'functional' in gym marketing just mean 'compound movements' with a dash of mobility and balance?
Depends on the gym! I teach functional strength training classes and the way I define it is working toward a purpose. So each of my classes is geared toward my clients who mostly work desk jobs and we have a different training style each month (endurance, stability, power, etc). Hope that helps explain at least how I mean it :)
Thank you ❤️
I had a question, If I need to purchase a book that teaches me simple functional training method, or talk about movements and the purpose for those movement…. Would I find a book for personal use?
I know you studies a lot of years to become that knowledgeable, with many years of experience…. But I was thinking if I need to have basic knowledge so I can build my own exercise, would that be possible?
Do you recommend any books or online courses?
You can read Mike Boyle’s book. I forget what it’s called but he’s the creator of one of my certs and is all about functional fitness.
@@JustinaErcole Thank you very very much!
I keep leaving the video on mobile so I can save these videos. My current workout routine is lower/upper/run/rest every 4 days, do you have a recommendation for working one of these functional workouts in? Could I do it the morning of my run days, or should I add an extra day for it?
That's completely up to you! It's hard for me to weigh in without knowing your goals, level of training, enjoyment, etc.
Hi! What do you think of F45? How functional is it? 😅
I love their programming! The coaching is hit or miss since it’s a chain at this point, but the programming is the same nation wide.
On a side note, your muscles seem more visible in this video. I gots a ways to go :)
Haha thank you!
Obi Vincent is great!
Agreed!
Oh and very pretty young lady!!!!
Hi Justina! I want to get my CPT but I’m hesitant because I can’t do a push up and often have to modify exercises and stick to low impact. I feel as tho I wouldn’t get any clients because of such. Any advice? You are the reason I have but my health first. My A1C is down for 7.5% to 5% in less than a year and I am not restricting myself on my foods just being aware and mindful! Thank you so much! @justinaercole ❤️❤️
Hey! I wouldn’t think so much about what you “can’t do” and more about what you bring to the table as a coach. You’ve obviously implemented some amazing sustainable habits to improve your A1C, so I’m sure you have plenty of knowledge to help others. I say get the cert and go for it ❤️
